cision affects nn increase of lore to be agreed to and apprnv
from 10 to 30 per cent over the
old scale here, although its
uniformity makes it tower in
Home localities than the tem
porary scale now in force. The
decision, the first one to be
handed down by the Hoard, de
clares that employes' "discrim
ination, interfering with the
defense of the Nation in time
of war, against so called 'un
fair materials' would be intoler
able." Ex-Governor Henry Mc
Hride. of Seattle, for the Puiret
bound district, and Richard
W. Montague, of Portland, for
the Columbia River district
were appointed examiners fo
the United States Shipbuilding
Adjustment Hoard.
"There won't be ninny ships
mint under this scale," declared
JU. J. Mcguire, a union con
feree, representing the metn
trades craftsmen of the bay dis
tricts. "I believe the entire
shipbuilding crafts of the
Pacific CoaBt will appeal to
President Wilson ngainst the
decision.
The minimum scale, uniform
fo the Puget Sound, Portland
and San rrancisco Hay districts
which is . to prevail at Los
Angeles also, is as follows:
Journeymen machinists.
moulders, blacksmiths, angle
smiths, pipefitters, boilermnk
era, snipnttcrs, pressmen, an
gle and frame setters, riveters.
vhippursand caulkers, acetylene

men, counter sinkers, drillers
and reamers and holders-,$4. 20.
Machinist specialists, $1; rivet
heaters, S3. 15, and laborers,
S3.2C,
Helpers are divided into two
classes, as follows:
Machinist, pipe fitters, sheet
metal workers, ship fitters.
electrical workers, molders'
helpers S3.G0. Blacksmiths, cop
persmiths, slab, plate hangers,
hook tenders, flange fire and
machine helpers and casting
cleaners, $3.90. In ynrds where
wooden snips arts being con
structed, the minimum rate for
caulkers is fixed at SG.CO, ship
wrights, joiners, boat builders
and millmcn, SG, and laborers
und helpers. These scales, are
based upon the increase in the
cost of living since the beginn
ing of the war, the Hoard de
cision explains.
Seventy five thousand men
must bo employed in the Pacific
Coast shipbuilding yards to
carry out the Government's
programme, the Hoard decided.
This means 30,000 skilled me
chanics more than employed
now. The Board will urge the
Department of Labor to extend
the Federal employment service
in California, Oregon und Wash
ington to supplement the trade
unions unable to supply skilled
workmen.
"Tho Shipbuilding Labor Ad
justment Bonn! is n war board,"
the decision says. "Tho owners
of the ship yards are merely
agents for the Government. The
employers and employes must
realize the war has changed
their relation to each other.
The Government is insistent
that ships it requires must be
built and built promptly. It is
equally insistent that standards
of living must be preserved.
"The Nationnl programme
requires an increase in the out
put of ships from 750.000 tons
turned out in 1915 to 0,000,000
tons in 1918. This necessitates
Introduction, wherever possible,
of two and three shift systems.
Immediate steps to bring about
this change must be taken by
shipyards owners. The Board
urges representatives of organ
ized labor and the employers
concerned to work out, in co
operation with agents of the
Government, plans for the more
rapid training of skilled work
ers in the different crafts."
The scales rates are retroactive
in San Francisco from Septem
ber 22, Columbia Kiver district
September 5 and Puget Sound
district August 1. The decision
must be put into effect on or
before Monday, November 12,
the Board orders, and back pay
must be paid within two weeks
from that time. Rates of wages
now being paid in excess of the
minimum rate fixed are to be in
powise altered, the decision
ed by the exam ner for thnt
district, the Hoard decided.
Summarizing the decision,
ijecretary Henry seagor, or tho
Hoard said: "The Hoard did
not feel justified in forcing on
the taxpayers of the country.
who henceforth- must pny for
the ships built, the higher
wage that the cons deration of
merely local aspects of the sit
uation might have warranted.
It urges employers and em
ployes to accept ine decision in
the spirit of loynl cooperation
and do their utmost to help the
Government win the war by
turning out the ships so urgent
ly required."
, "Tho representatives of lubor
here will return to their re
spective homes, and the unions
will vote upon the new scnle.
The scnle means an increase for
the majority of workers over
their old scale, but in Senttle
there are G000 men who receive
less under this scale than thov
nro getting now. To others the
increase is very sight. The
Hoard found living costs had in
creased 3G per cent. The men
want enough to meet this." said
a union lender.
