FIREMEN COfflJUl
OF
Salary for Overtime Sorved in
Two-Platoon System Delay
Is Asked
HOPE
"MORAL CLAIM"
Dissatisfaction is now apparent among
the firemen of this city because of what
they feel to be "Injustice" by tho city
authorities in not paying them compen
sation money for their overtime service
fiom January 1 to May 1, last year, at
which time the two-platoon system was
inaugurated here.
The firemen elaim. that although the
measure passed by the Legislature was
ordered for January 1, 1018, gilng the
firemen shorter hours, and calling for n
two-platoon system, under which the
men were to work fourteen hours at
night and ten hours during the day, it
was not put into effect for four months,
thus making every fireman work ocr
time. James M. Simistcr, president of the
Firemen's Union, says he has been be
sieged by many of the men for "satis
faction" from the authorities. A num
ber have resigned from the union be
cause no action lias been taken in this
matter, he said.
"We hnve no legal status in the
courts," said Mr. Simistcr. "because in
sticking to their posts and working ocr
time when the ordinance was passed in
January, the firemen violated the law,
which had gicn tliem new hours. Still,
if they had observed the new hours, the
city would have been left unprotected
from fire for hours nt a time, and we
felt that the public should be protected.
"Our only chance of obtaining com
pensation is to present n moral claim
against the citv of Philadelphia, and it
is proposed to do that, either before the
present council adjoin ns, or at the fust
meeting uct September.
"Although the men are discontented
at not receiving this money to which
thev are entitled, there will not be a
strike under nnv ciicuinstnnces," con
eluded .Mr. Simister. "The Firemen's
Union lenltzes thnt it is not the fault of
the public that they have been refused
this, compensation, and the public would
be tho main sufferer in case of any dras
tic action on our pait."
