Western Counties
Plan Bond Issues

Western Pennsylvania had a field
day at the State Highway Depart
ment and the road construction pro-
grams for Mercer and Beaver were
| worked out and commended by
Commissioner Lewis S. Sadler. "If
every county in Pennsylvania would
follow the example of Mercer and
Beaver counties Pennsylvania would
be out of the mud in very short
| time" said Commissioner Sadler.
Their action indicates to me that
a beneficent avalanche has started
which will not stop until Pennsyl-
Van1a has real road system.
The Beaver people advised Mr..
Sadler that three quarters of a.
million of bonds would be issued for
| immediate construction and that a
further issue of a million and q half
is to be submitted to the voters so
that thirty miles of highway can
be built by the county aside from
what the State will handle.
The Mercer people outlined a pro-
gram for As miles and will submit
bond issue of $1.500,000 as soon
as possible to their people.

BOARD
GIVES DECISION
Special Examiner Clears Up
Points in Wage Scale and
S-Hour Day Questions

Chambcrsburg, Pa, March 2S. A
decision which will cause an unusual
amount of work for the five local
industries on which the national war
labor board recently plaIel man
datory wage scale and an eight-hour
day. has been made by Stiles T.
Jones. a special examiner sent here
by the Government to explain any
obscure points in the labor board
award. He has announced that the
war labor boards award Is to be
interpreted to mean that the eight
hour day principle is retroactive to
August 26, 1918, just as The wage
scale and the remainder of the award.
The award did not specifically state
that the eight-hour day was retro
active and 4 decision on that portion
of the award was awaited with con-
siderable interest and anxiety. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Jones' decision every
employe who worked more than eight
hours on any day since August &c.
1918, shall be paid time and half
time for the overtime. To calculate
the amounts due different employees
will necessitate much clerical work.
Four of the five companies affected
by the war labor boards award, have
formally accepted the award. These
are the T. b. Woods, Sons Company,
the Chambersburg Engineering Com
pany, the Chambersbnrg Foundry
and Machine Company and the Haef-
er Foundry and Machine Company.
The fifth industry, the Wolf Company
has not rejected the award, but in the
case of this company there yet re-
main some points to be cleared up
concerning the retroactive feature.
