SHORT TIME 1T SHOPS.
Railroad Places Workmen on Etght
 . Hour Day.

Six hundred workmen in the shops of the New York. New Haven ana Hartford railroad were greeted Satur- day morning when they arrived by notices announcing that an order, to take effect immediately, is issued put ting the plant on five day per week and eight hour per day schedule. 5
 This means about 10 per cent re- duction in the pay envelopes. The men have been working nine hours a day and have been paid for a ten hour day. and not for several years have the shops been on less than full time. The workmen did not take the order very joyously, and many. were inclined to view the situation very pessimistically.
 Owing to the falling off in traffic there are fewer cars and engines in use and hence fewer to be repaired. No money is being expended by the road where it can possibly be avoided and as further discharges are now irn- practicable it was decided to cut the time.
