LUCKLESS FOREMEN
NEED? OUR SYMPATHY.
The February issue of The Warner-
American News carries a picture of
foreman James McNichol of the
plant of the Warner company in this
place. It was taken while Jim and
his fellow foremen were off on that
junket the company arranged for
them last fall. The story that ac-
companies it indicates that the
sleuths of the Department of Labor
and Industry have missed a trick,
for if the story is true those poor
foremen were worked twenty-two
hours and fifteen minutes out of |
every twenty-four that they were |
away. Worked hard, too. |
Day and night they had to eat at 10 A. M.
banquets and see things until they
just begged to go home, “so we can |
get some sleep.”
Surely such rough treatment is
a yiolation of the labor laws of the
State.
