bon with one stripe represents two
units of six monts' service witli a
minimum of 1,000 hours; that with
two stripes represents three units
of six months' service with a min-
imum of 2,400 hours. As this
service is to be computed only
from the date of America's en-
trance into the war, April 6th,
1917, it is impossible for anyone
to receive more than two stripes.
Men workers to whom certifi-
cates have been issued for the min-
imum service will be entitled to
the standard service button. There
will be no modification of this but-
ton for service in excess of the
minimum period.
Certificates will be issued to all
workers who have given, during a
period of not less than six months,
at least 800 hours of service, and
a badge with a different colored
ribbon will be awarded to those
who have rendered extraordinary
service of 400 hours and less than
800 hours during a six months'
period
