C, POLICE EMPLOYES GET SHORTER DAYI Station Clerk and Signal Men Placed on Eight-Hour Basis This Week. A long-cherished desire of clerks in police stations and men detailed in charge of the signal work to be placed on an ecight-hour basis has been realized, Maj. Daniel Sullivan, \ superintendent of police, having made the change, effective this week. The ange, according to police officials, was made to keep pace with the trend | toward sane and sensible working hours for employes of the department. It is the intention of police officials to ask Congress to make provision for lad'dillnnul drivers, in order that such employes may be given the benefit of an eight-hour employment. Under the present law, however, provision'is made for only two drivers to each precinct, and nothing can be done to assist them. i The question of making the change for the clerks and signal men has been under adv i some time. Maj. Sullivan and | bers of his staff, Inspedltors Prati Evans, Harrison an 1by, gave the consideration, - and | ssioner James F. Oyster was {heartily in accord, with the recom- { mendation. Given Rexst Periods. | Heretofore the night station clerks | have performed fourteen hours’ serv- h'é_ each night, the day clerks service being eight hours. The night clerks were given every Sunday night off. Wagon men also performed the long service, and during the early morning hours each was permitted a rest periad of four hours. Under the mew plan, it is stated. there will be two men on duty in the police station at all times after mid- unight, except during such times as the wagon men are out on calls. The change involved the taking of eleven men from street duty. Only a short | time ago the department took thirt three emergency men from the sta- tions and put them on street duty, or wagon for men- ement and- the latest move, it is explained, still gives the city the benefit of ten more street men tham it had a short time ago. % Seek More Lieutenan It is believed that Commissioner Oyster and Maj. Sulli S next move {in the matter of improving conditions {will be to ask Congress to provide an {additional lieutenant in each precinct Because of the long hours of such ofticials it has been the custom for them to r re about 2 or 3 o'clock ach morning, leaving the police sta- tions witk only one man on duty in the offices. An inc the number of leutenants give at least two, and wsually three, men av able at all hours. Such a change, is thought, would mean greatly proved efficiency in police work AIRSHIP SUCCEEDS IN SECOND FLIGHT 2ZR-1 Cruises for Over ani Hour Above-Lakehurst With Six Engines Running. it in i i | By the Assaciated Press LAKEHURST, N.
