Non-Union Rail
ugm Strike
Over Wage Scale

The marine labor situation, quiet
since the United States Shipping Board
undertook the adjustment of the griev-
ances of various classes of harbor and
tidewater boatmen, became acute yes
terday when unorganized employees on
railroad tugs struck to obtain what
they believed due them under the rul-
ings of the railroad administration, and
engineers on deep water ships pre-
pared to force the reopening of their
wage dispute, supposed to have been
settled by award Of the Shipping Board.
The strike of the railroad tug men
was called off on the promise Of the
local wage adjustment board to take
the matter up on Monday. The engi-
neers' case was referred to an open
meeting to be held Tuesday night. 1t is
expected the Shipping Board will be
asked to reconsider the matter or refer
it to the National War Labor Board.
AS explained by 3. M. Squires, of the
local wage adjustment board Of the
United States Shipping Board, the fire.
mems trouble is due to the fact that
the wages which would have been paid
the men under the terms of the raits
road administrations rulings are ap-
preciably higher than the wages paid
under the Shipping Board scale.
THE railroad administration" he
said, ain recent wage award included
the men employed on tugs owned by
the railroad companies. Later, this or
der was revoked and the railroads in
structed to pay the rates fixed for that
class of work by the Shipping Board.
Under the former order wages based
on those prevailing in 1915 would have
run from $97.30 to $107.16. The Ship
ping Board scale. under which they
were paid, is $85 and 800. Naturally
they want the higher scale.
Men on railroad tugs in the past
have been higher paid than those on
other boats.
The marine engineers declare that
the new wage scale, while it purports
to increase wages, in recognition of
changed conditions, actually serves to
reduce wages of many, while the in
creases in some cases are so small, in
the words of Thomas L. Delahunty, as
to be an insult.
The highest wages paid engineers
under the old scale we're 1925 to chief
engineers on the largest boats. These.
under the new ruling, are to get $3.50.
The lowest wages on the smallest boats
were $120 month for third assistant
engineers. On the smallest boats these
now are rated at S11O month.
