Third Vice-President Alexander made the following
statement yesterday:
We have advanced the compensation of all of our
workmen, not only in the Constable Hook plant,
but in ali parts Of the country as well. The en-
ployes in the mechanical department, the boiler
makers, machinistS and on, desired have their
increased pay come in the form of reduction in
the hours OF labor, so We arranged matters that
way, giving them the same pay for nine hours
work that they have been getting for ten hours.
To eQualize matters all men who work the
twelve hour shift have had their wages In
creased 10 per cent. This makes virtual advance
of 10 cent for all the workrnen in employ.
