SHOPMEN APPEAL FOR WAGE
HOOST
Representatives of 500,000 railway
shopmen asked the railroad adminis
tration at Washington tne irst of last
week, not to put into effect the new
wage Male without upward revision
for their crafts.
Appearing before the board of rail
road wages and working conditions at
its first hearing, spokesmen for the
six shop trades declared they had
found it difficult to work out a wage
scale on the basis of the director gen
eral's order. They urged speedy ac
tion to revise the scale in order to
prevent employes from going to ship
yards. The lure of the shipyards is so
great, the labor representatives said,
that thousands of railroad machin
ists, carmen and other shop employes
stay with the railroads only with thei
greatest difficulty.
The shopmen renewed their de- j
mands as presented to the railroad
wage commission for a minimum of
75 ments an hour for machinists,!
blacksmiths, sheet metal workers,
electricians, carmen with Tour years'
or more experience, and noiici makers
and a minimum of 56 V4 cents for car
men with less than four years' experi
ence; an eight-hour standard d;iy; six
(lays' work a week, and time and one
half for overtime Th-nr demands
represented an increase of about 40
per cent above existing wageo.
O. H, Sine, chairman of the board,
explained that Director General Mc
Adoo is anxious "to see justice done
to all railroad men," and urged pa
tience on the part of all employes.
