Hammond Will defend her right TO
the City League pennant in a s-game
series that is to begin promptly at
three O'Clock next Sunday afternoon at

to come back and disappoint local sport
followers with the report that the ma

kind of a proposition Parduhn is up
against.
It's Never Been Done.
Never before in the history Of the

the hard pin for the Chicago lads to

see that pennant flying over the Ham

1t seems 70 be the general opinion Of

How about the piano mover, who in
the past has actually started upon
the hardest part of the days work at
that time.
The question of personal comfort
is worth considering. When a man
is taken away from his family and is
prevented from seeing his children or
looking after them, it is not hard to
find arguments in favor of establish
ing the uniform 8-hour day and the
elimination of overtime.
1t would surprise many piano
manufacturers and dealers if they
knew how easily they could improve
conditions in their delivery depart
ments.
By using a simple system great
economy and time could be affected
and the overtime evil would be a
thing of the past. Although the
piano movers demand an 8-hOUr day
and the present wage for 10 hours,
with 81 an hour for all overtime, they
contend that by doing away with
overtime work the piano houses will
actually pay less to the piano NOV
ers than they have in the past: Con-
sequently, it is not so much a ques-
ton of wages as a movement to bet
ter working conditions.
