Scale Reduces Hourly Wages
Eight Cents and Piece Work
II 1-2 Per Cent
By As.oci.t.d Pres. % Every Evenlrg

BY Associated Press 20 Every Eveuing
Chicago. March s-Wage decrea ses
of approximately i2ia per cent affect
ing more than 100. 600 employees Of the
packing industry in all parts OF the
country were officially announced today.
The reductions are effective on March
"a. At the same time there will be a
revision OF working hours. time and
one half for overtime being paid only
after ten hours labor in any ore day
or after 81 hours in any one week.
Double time Will be paid for Sundays
and holidays.
The new wage scale reduces the wage
rate of all hourly paid employees 8 cents
per hour. The piece work rates are re-
duced i2i7 per cent. A. present the
lowest rate paid labor is 50 cents an
hour. Under the new scale this will
be cut 10 Is cents. The higher paid
employees will be reduced proportionate.
ly The minimum wage guarantee for
40 hours pay per week will be continued.
