No, it really is 'Washer'. I compared the handwriting on the other 25 pages for the month of September and it definitely is Washer.
and yes I miss typed... that is 2.75 per day, not per hour. Also note that from the scan, both accounts 388 and 400 pay the same rate of 22 11/12 cents per hour (interesting pay scale) so I'm not sure if overtime is considered.
The other job descriptions and pay scale from the 26 page document where:
(title, cents/hr)
Apprentice, 10
Blacksmith, 42
Boilermaker, 26
Carpenter, 32 1/2
Hostler, 25
Hostler helper, 16 2/3
Laborer, 25
Machinist, 42
Washer, 22 11/12
