SAN FRANCISCO IRON
WORKERS TO STRIKE

San Francisco, Dec. 26.-Unless the

shops here grant a wage increase of
10 per cent above the scale fixed by
the United States wage adjustment
board, 10000 members of the Iron
Trades council in the San Francisco

of the council formally demanded the
increase and the executive committee

be granted.
Union leaders insist that the
foundries must pay the 10 per cent
which is being paid by employers Of
men working on ships for the gov
eminent. The foundry managers reply
that the 10 per cent is purely bonus
paid wholly to workmen to expedite
work on vessels for the emergency fleet
corporation and does not. properly APP
ply to private foundries, few of which
are doing any war work, according to
the managers.

The government has indicated its
intention to ask further concessions
from British unionism. permitting
heavy new drafts from its members to
supply man power to the army. Tho
laborites have intimated they will ac-

anticipated today they would abandon
their safeguards against drafting
without a counter bargain.

opportunity would be utilized to OBJ

the principal points In labors an

the idea of a league Of nations and no
economic war after the war, but frank
and complete remuneration of any sup

aims. Labor suspects certain of the
allies entertain these imperialistte
aims.
