FULL CREW LAW
TO BE OBSERVED

The full crew law that went into
effect yesterday means more
jobs to railroaders In this state.
The N. P. trains that went out yes
terday all carried one more man
than usual, the company signi-
flying a disposition to live up to the
new law.
1t is estimated by the COM
pany that it will add $2S0,000 to
the payroll in this state the next
year. 1t will mean about $1,000
a month extra to the Tacoma divi-
sion.
