GET EVEN WITH EMPLOYEE
City laborers Who Handle shoveis Have Many Tricks They Are Nct
 Slow to Employ.

The employers who hire day ts borers in Chicago seldom supply them with shovels nowadays. They give them picks. as they used to. but they expect the men to provide their own shovels. The reason for this is that as soon as the men are given shovels some of them file of the cor ners of the shovels. They claim and there Is reason for their eIai@-- that the shovel being more pointed enters the earth easier so that the digging Is made less laborious, and this only is their reason-they WoGad nit think of cutting down the sh0vei so that even if they threw out ahe same number of shovelfuls a day they would be accomplishing less
 But at times they have a different reason for making their shovels smaller. If they think they aae noi being paid enough they will make a still further cut in the size oa their shovels. This makes the work 1uss as hard for them. the gang boss probably makes them throw out f,ass as many shovelfuls each day-al though of course each load will be slightly iighter-but at the end Q: the day they will not have covered as many yards as they would have with the larger shovels. This Is their way of getting even with their employer: they will work as hard as ever. bms they don't want him to get as good results
