His Likeness Hack To Stay Farnsley Returns to City Hall Garbagcmeii To Resume Old Schedule Cilv Promises To Equalize Trucks Routes The City's garbage crews yesterday agreed to a back on their old work schedule until their routes are equalized. Tuesday and yesterday, the crews quit work after 8 hours, leaving hundreds of garbage cans unemptied throughout the city. Formerly they worked until collections were completed. Meeting with City officials, union representatives of the crews made it clear thev ordered strict observance of an 8-hour day to emphasize their demands for equalization of the routes under a 40-hour-wcek setup.

Now Work Six Days At present, the men work 48 hours on a six-day-week basis. On Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesday, when collections are heavier because of the Sunday holiday, many of the crews have been working more than 8 hours in order to cover the scheduled routes. But on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, most can complete their routes in less than 8 hours so that the total for the week is 48 hours or less, Sloy Decker, agent or A.F.L." Trvck Drivers Local 89, and members of the vnion agreed to return to this basis only alter they were assured: 1. The City will continue time and load studies designed to equalize the routes. Already, as a result of the studies, three light routes have been consolidated with other light routes, resulting in the laying off of three crews.

Will Notify Union 2. If the studies show that additional routes can be consolidated, union representatives will be notified before any change is ordered. 3. When the equalization is completed. City and union officials will meet to discuss the possibility of establishing a 40-hour, five-day week.

Yesterday's conference started off with sharp exchanges between Decker and City Consultant Roy Owsley, who headed the City's delegation. Decker accused Owsley of "not dealing with us in good faith." He said the City consultant had agreed to try the 40-hour week on an experimental basis. Owsley Denies Charges Owsley denied 's charges. He said the City had agreed only to equalize the routes "so that each crew would be paid for equal work." When Decker said he issued the order or the men to work only 8 hours Tuesday, Oicsley said: "The City of Louisville can't stand by and let the union countermand the instructions of the supervisors who are responsible to the public. "The City and its duly appointed officials are going to run the Sanitation Department, and if the men have some grievance' the procedure is for them to come in and iron it out with those in charge, not take things into their own hands." "We are not trying to run the Sanitation Division, but we are not going to let you push these men around," Decker declared.

Would Have To Cut Pay Owsley said the City would have no objection to the proposed 40-hour week if it accomplished the task. "But we have made it clear that it will not be possible to reduce the work week loosened the fastenings and the portrait was unveiled. It showed Farnsley wearing academic robes and, of course, his perennial black string tie. In the portrait, the former Mayor is leaning on a block bearing a Greek inscription. Hendon explained the inscription was the oath taken by Athenian youths to their city upon becoming 18.

In part the pledge is to: Never forsake his comrades in the ranks, but to fight for the holy temples and the common welfare, alone and with others; to leave his country not in a worse but in a better state than he found it. Across the top is a Latin inscription, saying, "Mayor of City of Louisville." Ex-Mayor Makes Another Short Speech The portrait is by Victor Hammer, a native of Vienna and now resident artist at Transylvania College, Lexington. Hammer also Two Charlie Farnsleys came back to City Hall yesterday. One was the former Mayor of Louisville himself. The other was his likeness in a portrait unveiled in the Board of Aldermen's meeting room.

"It is fitting that the picture is to hang here where he (Farnsley) began the beef sessions," said George A. Hendon, Farnsley's former assistant, who presided at the unveiling. Farnsley, Mayor from 1948 to last December, won nationwide acclaim for the weekly beef sessions. There was some difficulty in getting the portrait unveiled. Complete With Black String Tie When Farnsley's 10-year-old son, Alexander, pulled a ribbon to remove the covering cloth, nothing happened.

Others tried to help, with no success. Finally a City Hall painter with a ladder designed the new official City seal adopted during Farnsley's final weeks in office. Hammer was commissioned by a committee of Farnsley's friends and associates, who received donations from scores of others. He-sides Hendon, those on the committee were Alex Iiooth, County Judge Burke, Mrs. Dann ('.

Hyck, Dr. l'hilip Davidson, Clarence It. Graham, A. Head Henry, Dr. William Keller, Henry Y.

Olfutt, and Dr. J. J. Openhcimer. Attending the ceremonies were scores of past and present City and County officials, business, civic, and Democratic Tarty leaders.

Farnsley's wife, Mrs. Nancy Farnsley, was there with their five children. Besides Alexander, they are Sally, 15; Ann, 13; Burrell, 7, and Douglass, 4. Farnsley, who as Mayor was noted for his brief speeches, maintained his brevity at the unveiling. "I'm very grateful," he said.

And referring to the difficulty in unveiling the picture, he added, "I'm sorry we were such a problem." Hopkinsville.
