Boston Elevated Company 9-in-11 hour law evidence ruling
The Boston Elevated Company won a point in the Illinois arbitration hearing as Chairman James J. Storrow admitted evidence on the 9-in-11 hour law. The ruling allows testimony on hours of blue uniformed men, current schedules, and the law's impact on wages and operating costs. The Street Carmen's Union warns the nine-to-eleven hour law as leverage, while the company cites potential annual costs of about 1,000,000. The hearing resumes at Ford Hall with further deliberation on pay definitions under both 9-in-11 and 9-in-12 rules.
