his liability of getting passed into a
grade which would mean military serv-
ice. SO he thought his best plan was
to get the military officer on one side
which he did, and told him he was very

Used him $50 IL he could manage 1t
for him. The bargain was accepted,
and after his examination he asked
the officer how he had Jared, which
brought forth the reply that after
much difficulty he had succeeded In
getting him passed grade 3. The man
at once handed over the money, ex-
pressing to the officer his grateful
thanks, and as he took the money the
latter said:
''Yes, it was difficult thing getting

fact, II it hadn't been for me they

Men Of SteeIton Plant of Bethle-
hem Company Get a Sub
StantiaI Increase.
RESULT OF EIGAT-HoUR DAY
Overtime Workers Benefit Largely by
Observation-Disclosures to Have OPP
portunity to Confer With the
Management Concerning
IN Grievances.

Virtually every employee Of the
Stteiton plant of the Bethlehem Steel
company, Harrisburg, Pa, except the
salarled men, is affected by new
plan of payment announced. under
which the eight-hour day is introduced,
effective from October l last, and pro-
sviding time-and-half-time pay for work
done in excess Of eight hours in any
day.
n Announcement also was made that a
plan had been adopted whereby the
employees will have means of bringing
before the management problems af-
fecting their working conditions.
IS 1t was stated at the Steelton offices
that the eight-hour-day plan is similar
to that recently adopted by the United
States Steel corporation. The system of
pay will result in material increases
in the pay of men who work more
than eight hours day. but it is i'm
possible even to approximate the ag-
gregate amount of increase in the pay
rolls.
