substitute for the legislation proposed

ton in the case of the switchmen's
union, to pay the $4,000 switchmen who

the. rate of ten hours pay for an eight
hour day. when the award grants only
nine hours pay for eight hours of work.
Other than to say that they expected
to return to their homes in twenty-four
hours the brotherhood leaders refused
to be quoted after the meeting.
