thousand trolleymen employed on the
lines of the Public Service Railway Co.
have voted a voluntary concession to the
company which will mean the saving Of
thousands Of dollars to the company
The men have agreed to work ten hours

hours now in effect and at the same
wages they now receive for the nine
hour day. The system, which means a
rearrangemcnt of the runs, was put
into effect on two lines yesterday and by
Monday will be in force throughout

The plan to save money for the Public

by the union, said William Wepner,
