THAT MAYNARD OVERTIME.
a Joint Resolution to Equalize Treat
ment of Navy-yard Employees.

The following encouraging news in
reference to the claim for overtime
made by the workmen and attaches of
this navy-yard will unquestionably be
read with absorbing interest:
The House Committee on Naval Az
fairs has favorably reported the joint
resolution Oh. Res. 1917 entitled Joint
resolution authorizing the Secretary of
the Navy TO pay certain laborers, work
men and mechanics at United States
navy-yards and naval stations so per
centum additional for work performed
in excess of eight hours per diem"
The report. which was presented by
Mr.. RiXey, says:
The committee Is informed that pri-
vatc firms allow one and a half pay for
overtime. and that under the old regu-
lations portion of the men in the
navy-yards received this extra pay,
while other shifts. performing exactly
the same work and employed the same
number of hours, only received straight
pay for such overtime
This injustice has been provided
against for the future by order of the
Secretary of the Navy of December 2.
1895. in which 1t is provided: For work
performed, by reason of extraordinary
emergencies in excess of eight hours
per day. the ordinary rate of pay, with
30 ner cent. additional, shall be al
lowed
The committee is of opinion there is
no sound reason for the discrimination
which existed between March IS. 1898.
