RAILROAD RUMBLES
PENNSY PAYCAR
WORKING TODAY
Short Month Requires Clerks
to Keep Busy on
Holiday

There was no holiday to-day for
Pennsylvania railroad paycar attaches,
1t is the first time since the semi
monthly pay started that the Phila-
delphia division paycar worked on a
holiday. 1t was also a long day for
the cash distributors.
The clerks require nine days for
the car to cover the division. Trips
are made twice each month starting at
Harrisburg. To lose one day would
throw the clerks off their schedule and
cause Il delay in the next pay. Feb
ruary is short month which is also
a factor in the necessity for keeping
busy to-day.
Enola Men First
The car started distribution at
Enola where a number of employees
came in for a readjustment of wages.
The increase is along the lines of those
announced for other branches Some
employees who expected a raise will
wait until next payday. From Enola
the car will go to Philadelphia and
distribute checks to employees between
Broad street station and Harrisburg.
