Question of Wages at Navy Yard
Eight-Hour Law.

At the meeting of the Central Labor
Union, held last evening 1t was reported
that mechanics employed in several of the
departments at the navy yard are not sat
isfied with the conditions under which they
have to work, and a committee was ap-
pointed to bring the matter to the atten-
ton Of the authorities. 1t is alleged that
the toiners employed IN the pattern shop
are paid reduced rate of wages. and that
iaborers are worked mechanics, recetv
Ing but laborers' pay. Some weeks ago this
matter was brought to the attention of
secretary Long, who, after inquiry of those
IN charge of the pattern shop, informed the
committee of the Central Labor Union that
the charges of the joiners were groundless
and that they had no cause for complaint.
1t is asserted by those Immediately inter-
ested that the statements made to Secre-
tary Long by those in charge at the navy
yard are misleading. and the committee has
prepared revised statement, which will be
submitted to Secretary Long.
The rating of bricklayers employed in the
yard is objected to by the union, and an
effort will be made to have those of that
craft employed therein paid the prevailing
local scale of 81 day. 1t was stated that
the bricklayers employed there are paid
S512 during probationary period Of from
hfteen to thirty days, after which they are
paid the rate paid by private parties This
matter was considered at the last meeting
or the Bricklayers' Union. and a COMMITTEES
was appointed to see President Mckinley
and state the facts as reported
The report was made that man having
government contract admitted that his
employees worked twelve hours a day. and
had been doing SO for a year or more 1t
was also reported that the contractor
stated that he would continue to work his
employees under the same conditions. After
the report was read the business agent of
the Central Labor Union was directed to
nile necessary Information with the district
attorney and have the party prosecuted for
