Plea 10 DSR

The $500 street c men and
bus drivers who are members of
Division No. 20 Of the AFL union
have demanded a new contract
with wage increases, time and a
half for overtime and adjustments
in working schedules and the DSR
commission insists it absolutely
can't afford TO do II.
In three-hour conference
which ended in no decision the
union presented demands for an
increase of from SO to 81 cents
an hour for bus drivers and from
80 TO SO cents an hour for street
Car men.
These increases, together with
extra money that would be PAID
with a change in schedules and
the granting of time and a half
for overtime. would cost an est-
mated total of S77S000 a year.
Armed with estimate and state
ments furnished by DSR auditors,

IA. When used to cover a cas-
ket, the flag should be placed
so that the union is at the head
and over the left shoulder. The
flag should not be lowered into
the grave nor allowed to touch
the ground. The casket should
be carried foot first.
IS. When the flag is displayed
in the body of the church, it
should be from a staff placed in
the position of honor at the
congregations right as they face
the clergyman. The service flag,
the State flag or other flag
should be at the left of the con-
%gregation. If in the chancel or
on the platform, the flag of the
United States Of America should
be placed at the clergyman's
right as he faces the congre-
cation and the other flags at
his left.
16. When the flag Is in such a
condition that it is no longer q
fitting emblem for display, it
should not be cast aside or used
in any way that might be
viewed direspectful to the ma
l tional colors, but should be de-
stroyed as a whole privately,
preferably by burning or by
some other method in harmony
with the reverence and respect
we owe to the emblem repre-
senting our country.
