Art. 6430. [6620-1-2] REDUCING WAGES. All persons in the
employment of such railway company shall receive thirty full days
notice from said company immediately prior to the day upon which a
reduction is to take effect before their wages shall be reduced. In
all cases of reduction the employe shall be entitled to receive from
such company wages at his contract price for the full term of thirty
days after such notice is given. Said notice may be given by
posting written or printed handbills, specifying the parties whose
wages are to be reduced and the amount of such reduction, in at
least three conspicuous places in or about each shop, section
house, station, depot, train or other place where said employes are
at work; provided, such employe shall, within fifteen days from the
date of such notice, inform such railway company, by posting like
notices as given by such railway company, whether or not he will
accept such reduction; and, if no such information is given such
company by such employe, then such employe shall forfeit his right
to such notice and such reduction shall take effect from the date of
such notice, instead of at the expiration of thirty days. Any
railway company violating or evading any provision of this article
shall pay to each employe affected thereby one month's extra wages.
Acts 1887, p. 20; G.L. vol. 9, p. 818.
