Railroad switchmen offer 16 hour shifts to aid Adams County harvest
Burlington switchmen in Quincy pledge to labor 16 hours straight or after 4 pm to help harvest grain in Adams county. They respond to a plan urged by Judge Akers and the Chamber of Commerce to release workers from factories and stores for harvest aid. The move aims to avert crop losses as June draft looms and farm labor remains scarce.
