This: ‘Twenty-five per cent higher wage! Than government empioyes in similar work in the United States. Furnished, attractive, modern homes or dormitories free of rent Food and household supplies at} Wittle above government cost. Free hospital treatment. Relief from any local taxation. An eight-hour day with tume.and- a@-half overtime for those on the day neale; a seven-hour day for office employes. Sixty days’ annual vacation with Pay, including seven day#’ traveling time, with low steamship rates to the United Staten. Club houses and recreational fa ities. Certain transportation privileges ‘on the canal railroad. Excelient schools for their chil- @ren, and the best sanitation and health supervision in the world.
