cars on a route shall be paid not less
than 3 cents per mile on routine of
route"
The proposals then concluded with
the arbitration clause contained in the
other contract.
The principal issue, however, related
to the amount of compensation the
drivers were to receive.
The company has been paying each
driver a subsidy of $65 a month, his
additional income arising from the
number OF papers he distributed. This
rural service represented a loss to The
Star of $4,000 a year. The incomes
of the rural drivers, consisting of the
SOS monthly subsidy plus their earn
lngs from sale of papers, range from
s1o8 to 1882 per month.
Ask Higher Subsidy.
In their original propositions the
drivers asked for subsidy of slO0 a
month, plus their regular earnings.
This, it was pointed out, would have
resulted in the same increase to the
S182-a-month driver and to the s1o8
driver.
The company offered to guarantee
that no agents net earnings should
be less than S130 a month, but this
offer was rejected by the union.
While negotiations were still in
progress yesterday. the rural drivers
turned in their trucks and the picket
line was formed a few hours later.
The business agent of the union,
Robert c. Lester, was asked but de-
clined to make any statement about
the strike.
