Swltchnan Is Injured by Descending
Weight.-C. Leonard, a sw1tchman in
the employ Of the d. r. l. & n. w. was
injured Tuesday while at work. He
was on the tender of an engine at the
time when supply of water was to
be taken from a water tank. A weight
which supports a pipe through which
the water flows descended and struck
Leonard on the head. A cash was in
fficted and he was removed to his
home, 51655 Fifteenth street.
O.
On 12-Hour Work ScheduIe.-In one
department at a time Deere & Co. are
inaugurating the 12-hour workday in
the big pillow plant. Superintendent
Head estimates that as many as 600
to 700 workmen are already under the
12-hour schedule. The demand for
"plows, more plows," Mr.. Mixter de-
clares, explains the increase of activ-
ity at such an early date in the sea-
son. The anticipation is that sales of
the 1910-1911 season will break all rec
ords of the Deere industries.
Deere warehouses are already
crowded. but that fact has had no eff
feet on progress of the manufacturing
departments. They are going straight
ahead, depending on luck and the big
new eight-story warehouse for addt-
tional storage room. Advance orders
are numerous, success during the COM
ing busy season is certain. Night and
day shifts have been inaugurated in
some departments, though the night
shifts are not very large as yet. These
will be steadily increased, as has been
the case in past seasons. The 12-hour
day affects a number of departments
and will eventually embrace all de-
partments. There is not a man IN the
Deere shops who is not working 10
hours a day. Superintendent Head says
that the opening in the near future OF
the eight-story reinforced concrete
warehouse will solve, to some extent,
the storage problem. I'VE are taking
care of our goods and intend to man
age TO continue doing So says Mr..
Head.
