Operating Departments Omaha
Roads on Eight Hour Basis

All employees in the operating de-
partments Of the local railroads are
now on an eight hour day basis. with
pay for overtime. The same is true in
the traffic departments of most of the
roads. This applies to clerks, as we'll
as with train and shopmen.
The eight-hour day in most of the
Offices has come with government
control and operation of the roads.
With clerks and other employees the
day starts at 8 in the morning and
ends with o'clock in the afternoon.
Overtime, under the government
rule, is paid on the basis Of the eight
hour day. For instance, if an en-
ploye works two hours of overtime,
credit is given for one-fourth of a
days work
Northwestern traffic people are the
only ones in the employ of the Omaha
roads not on the eight-hour basis.
They are expecting a bulletin next
week, fixing their hours and the COM
pensation.
