Shorter Hours On B and O Southwestern Division
The Seymour Republican reports temporary suspension of extra section men on the B and O Southwestern division to six fifty to four with a half hour dinner, shifting regular crews to a nine hour day. The plan, adopted annually in winter to cut maintenance costs, starts this month and runs until March first. About 275 section men operate on the division, with more added during heavy work. Flood damage earlier required twenty extra repair crews, now resolved except for a few bridges and roadbed. Temporary bridges carry trains at White River Medora and Miami River east of Lawrenceburg amid slow permanent bridge progress due to undercurrents and quicksand.
