Builders Receive
Morse Decision
A pending labor dispute be
tween the Portland chapter of
the Associated General Contrac
tors of America and the Allied
Heavy Construction crafts was
settled in an arbitration award
handed down recently by Wayne
L. Morse, dean of the University
law school, and special arbitra
tor selected by parties to decide
the case.
The decision holds that the Gil
pin Construction company is ob
ligated as a subcontractor to pay
the minimum wages set forth in
the Portland shipyard contract.
Dr. Morse observed that pay
ment of lower wages to employees
by subcontractors while other
employees were receiving higher
pay for similar work would lead
to dissatisfaction and danger to
cooperative effort in the inter
ests of national defense.
