evening after struggling 10 untanglC
q Gordian knot presented by the

sorted to slicing the obstacle in
two.
The problem:
Men IN the construction de-
partment wish to be classified
as TO their jobs and to receive
pay in accordance with the
classification regardless OF the
type OF work done.
The result:
There is not enough work in
any classification TO keep any
men busy at that type of work
even a majority OF the time.
Therefore most of the men have
TO do LABOR work but expect
TO have pay Tor skilled work
The Solution:
As approved unanimously by
city council. the employees of
the construction department
will hereafter be paid for skilled
labor at the classified rate Of
pay and will he paid for ordi-
nary labor at the regular labor
