Mr. House— .May I Just call your attention to two
points In connection with that, again illustrating
inconsistency' in this particular section? I 'will
call your attention to the , wording there In
italics— "Extras to receive fifty cents per day or
night, in addition to the above scale." In Brook-
lyn, they concede the fifty cents per day or night
for each day, yet, over in the other section of
the extras, they only want you to grant it for
three days, I anl just proving conclusively to the



86



Arbitrator that they put this in, and do not
know what they want or ask for,

Mr. Polachek— All the more reason the Arbitra-
tor should have sympathy with us and correct our
errors,

Mr. Rouse— The question of money means this,
that in Brooklyn a man, as Mr. Polachek says,
goes to work at 8 o'clock in the morning; at 4
that work is completed, so far as the evening
edition of the paper is concerned. Then he is
called back at 6 o'clock. Now, the $1.81 Is the
time, the hour rate for day work for those two
hours; and we simply ask you on the Union's
side to continue that condition as it exists, and
whatever the decision may be, that that rate be
the same for these two hours; or, in other words,
to illustrate, the $1.81 is just 94 or a fraction,
or sQmething like that doubled up. ,

Mr. Martin— It is dust as Mr. Rouse states, it
is "two hours paid at the day rate.
Mr. Rouse— And that is what it should be. He is
in continuous service, and paid time from 8 to 6,
and paid night rates from 6 on. that is all we ask.
