HURLEY CALLS HIS TRIP OFF

WASHINGTON September 1o.-The
government to-day opened way for
possible settlement of strikes in Pacific
Coast shlpyards by offcrin:, to pay half
Of any wage Increases for companies
making not more than 10 per cent profit
on commandeered ships. San Francisco
builders in whose plants a strike Of
iron workers Is in progress agreed to
CONSIDER the workers demands for more
pay on the Shipping Boards cos. -shar-
Ing proposal, and prospects for set,liGg
the strike were reported bright
Chairman Hurley, OF the board post
ponfd indefinitely a trip to the coast,
on which he had intended to start to-
night Agents of the board and OF
the Department of Labor in San Fran
cisco reported that the employers and
men seemed near an agreement. and
mat work on the Communicated ships
might be resumed within a few days.
Mr. Hurley conferred again to-day
with Samuel GompeFs and other oGI-
Gals OF the American Federation of
Labor Tomorrow he will give at
tention to the strikes at other Pacific
Coast points. and indications were they
might be settled on .hc basis of the
proposal made to San Francisco
builders.
The Shipping Boards action is con-
sidered significant. inasmuch AS 1t in
dicates belief that the workers de-
mand Tor higher pay should be granted
The board also emphasizes it's determi-
nation not to let any differences pre-
vent the speedy prosecution OF it's big
shipbutlding program.
BUILDERS IN SOME CASES
TO PAY ENTIRE EXTRA COST
TO avoid being compelled TO nav a
proportion OF wage increases for com
panies making big profits on govern
ment contracts. however, the present
offer specifies that profits of more than
u per cent must be applied TO the gov
ernment share of the payment. In
cases where profits are high the entire
additional cost of extra-pay grants may
be borne by the builders.
The cost-sharing proposal will apply
only to vessels under construction COM
mandeered by the government to
hasten their completion and will not
affect ships ordered originally by tho
government. Contracts for these cover
such cNigencies as wage increases,
either under plan to pay cost plus
Il percentage profit or on n fixed charge
basis.
The total cost OF the new arrange
ment Is estimated by Shipping Board
oficiafs as only a small proportion OF
the expense incurred In taking over
ships under construction.
