tors OF the Southern Railway by the

imately $40 per man per annum- the
hours OF the one-operator-ofices were
shortened from - hours to 10, and
where two OF more operators are en-
ployed, the hours were reduced from
nine TO eight. Fifteen days leave OF
absence with pay were awarded TO all
operators who have to work as much
as five hours a day on Sunday or up
on legal holidays. This applies TO
telephone operators as well as teie-
grspheTs.
