ter of the strike OF fremen. on 81

W. H. Carter. examining the wit.
ness on the business of the fremen
brought out the fact that one cause
for the complaint is delay at termin-
ais for which the fremen receive no
pay. This difficulty is not acute in
busy seasons, Lott said. but in slack
times a fireman is kept idle at ter
minals away from home anywhere
rom Is to 4s hours and is not only
unpaid for his time but is under heav.
Ter expense for living than he would
be at home. He stated that failure OF
the roads to pay men even part time
during long delays at terminals had
been an aggravated point fer many
years. ...
