CRIME WAVE HAS
EFFECT ON r. & V;
PAYS BY CHECKS

One effect of the wave of crime,
which has swept even this COM
munity is a change in the method
of handling payrolls of the Root d
Van Dervoort Engineering Co. and
the r. & V.-Wagner Ordnance Co.
Hereafter every employe will be
paid by check
1t has been the practice of the
companies to pay in cash, and this
necessitated the handling of an i'm
mense sum Of money each pay day.
There was not only big risk for the
company, but employees themselves
objected to being compelled to
carry about them such sums Of
money as they received each pay
day. Complaint was especially
made by those employed on the
night force, who quit work at mid
night
