thorized by their international head
quarters at ST. Louis to return to the

continue the use of split tricks, SO as
to spread employment.
At least two contractors have ndl-
Gated they are willing to continue the
custom of employing two groups OF men
to do the same work.
At the central heating plant, the
R. E. Colburn Co. subcontractor for the
Rust Engineering Co., continued to WORK
about 40 ironworkers in two daily shifts
of 4 hours each. At the Treasury, the
Tenn Pitt Construction Co., headed by
John l.. Gadd. indicated to union lead
ers. the latter said, that the company
would continue to use two shifts OF men,
either on two 4-hour shifts or in 8-hour
shifts. by using different ironworkers on
different days.
Ironworkers hailed the cooperation
of these two firms as a great help IN
spreading employment and SAID tney
believed other firms might follow the
same policy. ~
Ironworkers returned to work at all

Ironworkers' leaders said that before
the split shift had been put into erect
there were 140 ironworkers employed
here, but that after the split shift went
into effect this number was increased
to 260, in spite of the fact that some
Contractors r'locked out" ironworkers
on a claim they could not be used in
a split shift.
Several contractors had fought the
split shift-claiming it was inefhcient
and more expensive.
