These notifications, in the form were placed on indiof CP-50- s, vidual time cards. In addition, comparative pay table charts were distributed last week through supervisors to all ungraded employes. These charts show hourly rates under the new system, also annual rates, as compared with corresponding rates under the per , annum system.

However, in every case without overtime will raise such exception, base pay to at least equal, and in most cases exceed total gross pay under the per annum system. Nearly a thousand new titles have been set up under job the system, upwards of 800 more than existed previously. The plan la calculated to bring pay for mechanical Jobs here into focus with rates for similar positions in local Industry.
