not cut the country in half and ex-
pect the remaining portion to pay all

seven days in the week, receiving
$95 per month, or at the rate OF 70
cents per hour. He should be re-
ceiving the 421l cents per hour
awarded by the War Labor board.
He also cited the case of a colored
fireman named Beatty who had
worked for the company for D
years. Beatty worked 1l1a hours
per day for SIS per month. He APP
pealed to the master mechanic for
the rate of pay awarded by the

Labor board had fixed the minimum
pay at $4.25 per day regardless Of
the hours worked.
That was modified" said John L.
Webster, for the street car COM

stated that the pay would be made
at the rate of 42H cents per hour
for time under 10 hours, but at the
basis of $425 per day if the men

In September, after the award
had been made he worked nine
hours and 50 minutes every day, lost
four days and earned Sl20.S4. He
stated the run in May was better
than the one in September, for he
started at 7 o'clock in the morning

while in September he went to work
earlier in the morning and quit later

John Slavin, a shop man, testified
that the street car company failed
to comply with the provisions of

related to the shop men.
He stated that he had been shop

ploys about 1000 men in all
branches of its service"
Asked in regard to a satisfactory
settlement of the swing run griev-
ance, Short said if the runs were
arranged so that 90 per cent would
be straight runs, and 40 per cent
swing runs, this would be satisfac-
tory to the men and would take care
Of the heavy traffic night and morn
ing. He also stated that the COM
pany had evaded the award of the
war labor board in bringing about
the piece runs, and that runs under
this provision on Farnam street had
been reduced from 10 hours to six
hours and Sc minutes. Men in the
Council Bluffs barn, he said, had
their hours reduced from 10 to eight
hours and were getting only $500
per day.
Short Tells of Run.
Short made a comparison OF his
wage in May, 1918, before the war
labor board award had been made.
