DEMONSTRATION
Of 5000 Mechanics at
Fore River Gives Over
700 Increase in Pay

Boston, Nov. 2S.-A decision expect
cd to have a direct bearing on other
shiptuilding interests was announced
tonight by Henry B. Endicott, execu-
tive manager Of the State Committee
on Public Safety in announcing re-
cIassiic alton of the 5000 mechanics at
the Fore River plant of the Bethlehem
Shipbuilding Co, to conform with the
classification Of similar work at the
Boston navy yard. Under the new an
1angement more than 700 employees are
granted higher ratings with consequent
Increase in pay,
Mr.. Endicott also called attention to
the chances for promotion under his
award
|. Mr.. Endicott was called into the sit
uation as u result of strike of me-
chinists. boilers. reamers. helpers and
cranemen at the Fore River plant
early in November over matters of
wages and rating similar to those pre-
HailinG on navy yard work.
At Mr.. Endicotts suggestion. the
strikers returned to work under an
agreeme that they should he paid
| the navy yard scale of wages. leaving
| the question of classification to him.
iS dWdiN Is III part as IOllOWS.
Il find that of the boilers and ream-
ers considerably large proportion
could be ranked in the first class to
fairly correspond with navy yard cias-
sification. On the basis of present con-
ditto 10 L believe that enough mem
should be advanced from second class
to first class boilers and reanlers to
| make the proportions or percentages
u per cent first class and 40 per cent
second class The present ratio is about
81 per cent. and 6S per cent.
Il find shat the proportion of first
class general helpers at the navy ward
is higher than the proportion at the
Fore River yard. and believe It
would be reasonable for the Fore Riv-
er 70. under present conditions to
raise its percentage or proportion OF
first class helpers to So per cent, and
second class to 81 per cent
Il am satisfied that under present
conditions 10 per cent of the Fore
River machinists here involved should
be rated first class. 5S second class,
and the remainder (23 per cent? third
class. with rates of pay for these re-
spectlve classes on navy yard bases.
; and I so award.
promotions in these three classes
are to be made after reasonable pro-
hationary periods in accordance with
navy yard practices"
| The wards are made effective from
| Nov. 5, when the men returned to
| work.
