RAILROAD men
PROTEST TO U. s.
tBy Associated Press,

WASHINGTON. July 2.--Railroad
employees have written thousands OK
letters to the railroad administration
complaining that they have not yet
received pay increases under Director
General McAdoo's wage order, and
that their working hours have not
been changed to conform with the
eight hour basis established by that
order.
The railroad administration today
explained that accounting difficulties
on many roads has delayed the compu-
tation of new wages and urged rail-
way executives to make haste to start
the higher wage payments.
The eight-hour day principle estab-
Nshed does not have the effect OF
shortening working days to that many
hours, but fixes eight hours as the
basic day for figuring compensation.
Overtime in some occupations Is fig-
ured at pay and a half, and overtime
now begins at the end OF the eight
hour period Any future arrange
ments for extra pay for overtime also
will make the eight hour basis Of prac-
tical importance.
