REAL FACTS ABOUT
 WAGES PAID FOR
 SHIP WORKERS THERE

Because of the annoyance caused employments at the shipyards by people who have an exaggerated idea of the wages paid, the Seattle Times publishes the following story and wage scale on September IA.
 Employment agents at the Seat tie shipyards are daily in receipt of letters from out of town workmen who want information about wages in the shipwards.
 ''ls it true that riveters are get ting s20 a day?
 Can 1 earn $15 day as a car penter? ~
 'I read where rivetcrs are getting tinfi $100 a week. Is that true?"
 These are some of the questions that must be answered for prospec- tive shipyard workers. A true today by one employment agent. .'
 Riveters when working on a straight eight-hour basis, get $5.78 a day, with double time for over- time. By working 16 hours every day, including Sunday, a riveter may earn $125.88 week The aver age riveter is content with five and one-half shifts a week for which he receives $34.6S. The overtime in most yards is optional with the riveter In some cases riveters are hired on the piece work basis and fast men earn big money, the amount paid for each rivet varying from 6 cents up. The 6 cents is divided four ways, among the hold eron, the passer and the heater, the riveter getting the big share.
 Scale of Pay.
 Engineers, carpenters, ship wrights and coppersmiths receive $6.6O for each eight-hour shift and double time for overtime. Pat tern makers are the highest paid workers in the yards. They re- ceive $715 shift. Other employees get wages as follows: riggers, $5.50 pattern makers helper, $3.96; joiners, $6.60; joner's helper, $3.96; pipe filter, $57S; painters, $5.50; ma chinitst, $5.75; machinist specialist $40; blacksmith, $5.7S; boiler maker, s5.78; boilermaker's help CT, $4.29: coppersmith's helper, s4.29; electrician, $5.78; bolter,ip $3.96; welder and burner, $5.78; holderon, s4.62; passerboy, $2.64; heater, $3.96; clippers and caulk CTS, $5.7S; reamer, $4.62; plate hanger, $5.50; plate hangers help CT, $4.29; packer $5.28; driller $4.62; punch and shear men, s4.95; stage rigger, $4.95; single arial en- gineer, $6.05 overhead engineer, ir shop, $605 ;all helpers, unless oth- erwise mentioned, $3.96. Laborers tool room men and unskilled work men in odd jobs all get $3.96. All workmen on the night sniff get bonus of 10 per cent. For in stance, helper employed at $329 is paid $436 if he works after three o'clock. The same system applies to all classes of labor, skilled ant 1 unskilled.
 ''It is true that some men make big money" said one employment agent. 'The demand for skilled labor is so great, that those who de sire overtime generally get tho chance"
 There are places where an un. skilled workman may take advan- tage of the overtime double pay system. As an example. at Ames boltersup, if they so elect may worl ten hours day and get paid fol 12 hours. By working Saturday an inexperienced man may earn about $40 a week.
