workmen on Sewalps ship went out because
their pay had been reduced. They received
from So to SO, according to work, during the

but 81 hours daily, the builders decided to'pay
by the hour, but at samel rates. This change
was made in the New England yard and
some others two weeks ago without trouble.

the proposed change, and today payments
were made on the basis of from 20 to 30 cents

work in nine hours now than In 10 in the
summer. They say Mr.. Sewall is anxious to
complete the ship and will yield to their de-
mands.
