NO PROSPECT OF SEX WAR
Equal Pay for Equal Work Will Be
Solution of Problem of Women
In Industry.

There is no danger of a 'sex war"
in this country because of the employ
ment of women in industry, the Young
Women's Christian association war
work council announced.
"The national war labor board"
said a report of the council, "has
stood squarely for the proposition of
equal pay for equal work, and it's first
step in this direction was with the
General Electric company at Pitts
field, Mass, where equal conditions for
men and women now prevail"
The board has appointed Miss Mar
garet Dismore, especially released
from the British Labor ministry by
Premier Lloyd George for this pur-
pose, it was announced. Miss Dismore
will have charge Of a corps of inves-
tigators who are cooperating with Y.
w. G. A. officials in the supervision of
women In industry, and officials at
Washington state that the equal pay
principle will eliminate any POSSIBLE
ity of a so-called "sex war;"
"The big problem today" said a
Y. w. G. A. war council official, sis
not any problem Of a sex war. but to
place woman in industry so that they
can release fighting men for the provost
marshal general and the department of
labor American men and women have
no time to think of any sex vars"

Training Skilled Laborers.

An interesting wartime labor devel-
opment which will be Of special impor-
lance during the time of reconstruc-
ton after the war is the war depart
ment's plan to train 100000 national
army men in trades of special military
value. Already large numbers Of these
men have undertaken the training
courses at schools and colleges-110
in all-in every part of the United
States.
The training the men are receiving
is, Of course, primarily to fit them for
effective work in France or in duty of
military Importance at home, but most
Of the trades, if not all of them, in
fact, will have an important peace
time value as well. The problems of
the reconstruction period cannot be
foreseen with any certainty now, but
the creation Of this reserve of mechan-
ically trained men will no doubt be of
Importance in the reorganization Of
industry on peace basis.

MEETS DEMANDS OF LABOR
ShipbuiIdine Adjustment Board Grants
Eight-Hour Day and Increased
Waees-AIIows Open Shop.

General increases in wages, an eight
hour day with time and half pay for
overtime, free transportation where an
employee is compelled to spend more
than 10 cents a day in car fare, and
provision for grievance committees of
employees are authorized in an award
by the shipbuilding labor adjustment
board, applicable to all wooden ship
yards south of Baltimore and all steel
yards south of Newport News on the
Atlantic and Gulf coasts.
The decision follows in principle the
award in the Delaware and Philadel-
phia districts, which gave labor impor-
tant concessions for which the working
men have been fighting for years.
The boards decision prohibits any
discrimination between union and nom
union men.
In granting a basic eight-hour day
the board undertook to encourage the
institution of two and three shifts by
limiting overtime so that the total
work shall not exceed 60 hours week.
March % was made the effective
date of the award, which is retroac-
tive as to wages to February l for all
yards except those in which disputes
have been settled temporarily on a bas-
is of other dates.
