We hereby reaffirm Seattle

states higher wages would' make
-it possible to retain skilled work
ers now '.employed and : recruit
needed labor."
-i Keenan expressed favor of elim
inating the WLB panel recommen
dation of premium pay of 10 cents
an hour to not more than 25 per
- cent of the workers in the foun
dries, on the basis ot superior
work, contending that it would
"result in intra-plant inequities
. detrimental to morale and pro
duction."
" The AIT foundry workers' un
ion .spokesman expressed opposi
tion to the premium pay propos
al and to the panel-proposed in
crease of 2 to 5 cents for un
skilled workers. He said the union
stands -by its demand for an 8
cent ' hourly ay Increase. ? ;
Denzil Hafley, representing em
ployers, : denied there was any
more labor shortage In the foun-
. dries than in industry- generally.
He contended that the journey
man rate of $1.20 was granted
to give foundry workers parity
with shipyard employes, and that
. the rate should stand.
The board took the case under
advisement.
