VIII Probably Get Full Six
Days Every Week When
Dull Season Is Over
HAVE BEEN WORKING EIGHT
HOURS SEVENTEEN MONTHS
Prosperity Returning to Paris
With Longer Hours For
Shop Employees

After working eight hours for
more than seventeen months the
employees of the local Louisville
& Nashville railway shops went
back to the nine hour schedule
Tuesday of this week.
While no official announcement
has been made it is expected
that the shops will be working
six days per week, instead of
five, when the dull months have
passed. January and February
are usually the dullest months of
the year at the shops, it is said.
Employees are jubilant over the
return of prosperity to Paris.
Twenty additional hours monthly
means a great deal to many of
them.
Shortly after the outbreak Of
the European war the time was
cut to five days and eight hours
and sometimes employees have
been getting only four days per
week. The posting of notices
Saturday announcing that the
nine hour schedule would be
resumed on Tuesday came as a
surprise to many of the
employees.
