FOR EXTRA TIME

Awaiting word from the United
tates Labor Adjustment Board rela-
tive to the ruling Of an s-hour day
on government work, employees Of the
Pullman Company are at work in the
local plant today under protest.
The Pullman Company last week
posted notices at the local plant that
beginning today the hours OF labor

day with a half holiday on Saturdays,
or nifty hours a week, two more hours
a week than they had been working.

men worked time work, they would
be paid straight time for the two
additional hours.

or the carmen's union, several hum
dred employees of the Pullman Com

posed change

attitude " the railway carmen TO-
wand the proposed change. He told
of the loyalty Of the workers during
the war. and the sacrifice they had
made for years TO establish the prin-

an established institution. lie told
the men they should support their

der the new schedule. Mr.. Cannon
said. the men will make two more
hours pay a week. The Labor Board
he said, has passed out Of existence
and the men will be paid straight
time. If, however, he added. they
have taken the matter up through
the proper channels, the correctness
OF the c0mpany's attitude will either
