SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. g.
Attic representatives of the iron
trades unions and the employing
shipbuilders have signed the uni
form minimum wage scale just an
nounced by the u. S. shipbuilding
labor adjustment board, II is far
from certain that the workmen,
especially in the northwestern cit
les, will accept it.
The boards findings granted an
average increase in the minimum
wage of approximately 35 per
cent, which will remain in effect
for one year. The agreement Is
retroactive, taking effect from the
time the men resumed work after
accepting the temporary agree
ment negotiated in September.
The increased cost of living
since the war began was the basis
for the wage increase.
When V. Everett Macy and the
other members of the commission
left here last night to begin adj
justment of the wage scales on
the Atlantic seaboard, they de-
clared the new scale would def
nitely end thes recent strikes and
other difficulties In the ship
