MAY GET MORE PAY
Probable Increase for the
Navy Yard Employees.
INCLUDES GUN FACTORY
Belief That Secretary Will Ask Con-
gress to Approve.
RATES ARE FIXED ANNUALLY
Based on the Wages Paid for Sim
liar Work in Private Es-
tablishments.
INCLUDES GUN FACTORY
RATES ARE FIXED ANNUALLY

Although it will not now be officially
admitted. there is good ground for the
belief, prevailing in interested circles.
that the Secretary of the Navy will ask
Congress to authorize general increase
of about 10 per cent in the wages paid
the employees of the Washington navy
yard, including the naval gun factory.
These employees number about 1900. the
majority being mechanics.
The proposed action of the Navy De-
partment is predicated on the report of
the naval board appointed to prepare the
regular schedule of wages at the Wash
ington yard for the calendar year 1913.
Schedules Fixed Annually.
nually and are based on the wages paid
for similar work in private establish
ments in the same general vicinity. t
Al the instance of local labor organiza-
tions the board in considering the 1913
schedule devoted special attention to the
question of the cost of living in the city
of Washington as compared with the cost
Of living i'm nearby cities, between Phil
adelphia and Richmond. AS result of
long and careful deliberation the board
made a complete revision of the wage
IL
a general all-around increase of about 10
per cent in wages
Department officials refuse at this time
TO make public the report or to discuss
even it's general nature. Enough of the
matter is known, however, to justify the
statement that the proposed increase must
be submitted to the action of Congress for
the reason that it cannot be met by the
current appropriations available for the
purpose.
Question UP to Congress.
Such reference will put squarely before
Congress the issue of whether the en-
pIoves of the Washington navy yard
shall or shall not receive more liberal
conversation for their labor.
because the matter cannot be settled
without action by Congress the Secretary
of the Navy today directed that the wage
schedule for 1912 be continued in full
force and effect in the calendar year 1913
unless a change in the rates is made pos
sible by legislation.
