APP employees could enjoy leisure and to greater
degree the warmth and comforts of home life with their

The recent decision of Arp to further reduce
working hours of its employees again has broken trad-

in raising the living standards of retail clerks But the
management is confident that the continued efficient
support of its employees will prove has in the past
that better working conditions fewer hours at the store

Wage increases and added compensation during the
last year. coupled with recent shortening of working
hours have given APP employees the best average wages
and the shortest general working hours in the industry

possible to achieve both low prices to and
good working conditions for employees. Wages of full
time clerks in the Central Western Division alone have
risen approximately 65 per cent since 1884 at which
time they exceeded appreciably the average for retail
food store employees in all sections of the country.

Division, the Foreign Division,

requesting that certain priS-

certain rooms for questioning.

under the machine gun bullets
Of the revolutionary workers.
That was what kept Us

was what we looked forward
