LOOK TO GOVERNMENT
For Reimbursement II Wages Are Put
Up on Government Work.

Bridgeport, Conn, July is. - AT the
hearing on the wage differences before
the examiners for the war labor board
to-day Attorney George E. Hawley for
the manufacturers made formal state
ment that If any wage adjustment was
recommended by the war labor board the
manufacturers engaged on government
contracts would look to the government
for a resdiustment of these contracts to
cover any loss that might accrue from an
increase in the rate of wages prevailing
when the contracts were made. He read
letter from the American and British
manufacturers to the secretaries of war
and the navy, stating that as the com
pany was engaged 100 per cent on gov.
ernment work an increase in wages would
considerably alter the contracts and asked
the department heads to assure them re-
imbursement for the loss. Mr.. Hawley
stated that other manufacturers in war
munitions stood in the same position.

lard company, was the first witness to.

it fair thing If they were to be includ-
ed in the retroactive agreement, when
they had not been party to the trouble
They had agreed to accept any decision
on wages made by the war labor board.
but believed that if any is granted it
should affect other factories only from
the date of the award and not extend
back several months in their cases.
