president that all employees would be
entitled to per cent bonus If they
continued with the company six
months or more. The matter was
placed in the hands of the Council
executive committee.
The promise Of the bonus was
made by Mr.. Sloan in the early days
of shipyard activities here. In a
public speech at the plant the presi-
dent of the corporation enlarged
upon the mechanical excellence of
the institution of which he was the
head. congratulated himself upon
favorable shipbuilding contracts the
company held, intimated that the
wellbeing of the employees was dear
to the company and declared with
emphasis that the faithful employees
were entitled to share and should
share In the prosperity that the cor
poration had within it's grasp. He
then and there assured his hearers
that each employee had a vested inter
est in the profits of the institution
equal to : per cent of his wages.
provided he remained with the con-
earn not less than six months. This
offer of the Sloan Shipyards Corpo>
ration was heralded to the world in
scare heads in the newspapers.
According to several of the dis
charged employees, however, there
was an apparent mental reservation
when the bonus was announced.
The. recefvership of the Ward yard,
followed within the week by a walk
out because of announced changes oil
working conditions, decided upon
without consultation with the work.
men; change of management in the
Sloan yards. followed by promiscuuus
firing of workmen and posting of
rules which it was thought in
fringed upon the rights of the en-
pfoyes. have caused feeling Of un-
certainty to prevail within and with
out the shipyards. At the Ward
yards the men quit; at the Sloan
plant the men had made, up their
minds to ignore the arbitrary
changes and thus pass the buck to
the management. and tn order to
avoid trouble notices were posted
modifying previous orders.
A committee. representing all the
unions with members in the ship
yards, has been in conference during
the week with the management Of
both yards, and It is believed that an
understanding has been reached.
Briefly, the men believe that the
time has arrived for adoption Of the
scale Of wages presented to the COM
panies in July, and payment Of the
back-pay which has accrued in &C.
cordance with the agreement entered
into at that time between the CON-
panies and their employees. About
80 per cent of the shipyards of the
Sound are now paying a scale OF
wages equal to or better than the
schedule presented by the local EN-.
ployea in August, thus maturing the
local agreement.
The strike of last summer was set.
tied through an agreement OF the
shipyards to pay the wage scale
adopted by a majority of the yards oil
this district, the scale to date back
to August upon final adjustment.

WANT JUDGE DUNN
AS GUARD CAPTAIN

1t is probable that City Judge William
NJ Dunn. a Spanish-American war vet
eran, will be asked TO take the cap
taincy Of the Gary home guards. Judge
Dunn, despite his m militory experience
enlisted as private.
The Judge is now brushing up on drill
regulation changes. and will soon be
qualified to serve as an instructor The
mere fact that one has been a drill
master or has gone through a few
weeks training does not make his com
petent TO become an officer. II is the
governors wish that mature men. those
who have been under fire rather than
textbook strategists become officers.
For this reason Judge Dunn has been
suggested.
