EMPLOYEES TO BE HEARD.
Navy Workmen Will Be Allowed to
State Grievances.

Washington, Nov. 21.-Secretary
Moody made an important ruling by
which employees in the government
navy yard are allowed to present to the
board of wages direct any questions af-
fecting the rate of wages. This matter
came UP at the League island navy
yard, Philadelphia. but the secretary
states his decision Is to force a prece-
dent and will apply to all navy yards OF
the government. In his letter to the
commandant of the League island navy
yard he says:
~ desire to establish the following
precedent, viz: That a committee OF
workmen in any trade in the yard by
making application to the commandant
shall be permitted to appear before the
board on wages and present data con-
corning the rate of wages paid to work
men In their trade In the vicinity OF
the yard and make explanations con-
cerning conditions under which the
work is performed, and that the data
presented and statements made shall be
given careful consideration by the
board in submitting its recommenda-
ton of rate of wages"
Heretofore 1t has been the custom at
navy yards for workmen having COM
plants to make in regard to the wages
paid to appeal to the foreman of the
yard, who in turn presented such data
as he saw fit to the board of wages.
The secre tary's ruling gives the work
men in the various government navy
yards the right TO petition direct to the
board of wages and eliminates dealing
with subordinateS.
