have bargains in the necessities of life,
would urge the employers to take
this in consideration in the establish
ment of pay day. If men are paid
in checks, would recommend that each
employer to arrange for the cashing
of checks within easy distance of the
shops, and if the customary pay day
be semi-monthly in any of the shops,
that the employer carefully consider
the advisability of establishing a
weekly pay day in order that the men
may be able to pay cash for what they
buy and take advantage of bargains
offered.
Providing for the Adjustment of All
Future Differences.
In line with the policy of the ma
ton and in keeping with the recon-
mendations of the Taft-Walsh COM
mission, my opinion is that all future
differences should be adjusted thru the
means of mediation, Cancellation and
arbitration. Having this in mind, /
recommend the following plan:
That in each shop the men of each
craft employed therein may have a
representative to be selected by them
selves who shall have the privilege of
comforting with their employers over
any grievance that may arise; pro-
vided that any workman feeling him
self aggrieved shall first endeavor to
adjust the matter personally with his
employer. Should satisfactory adj
justment fail thru this means, the diff
ferences are then to be determined by
board of arbitration to be selected as
follows:
The employers to select two, the en-
ployes two, and if the four thus Sc

ten days from date of selection, they
shall select fifth person and the de-
cision of the majority of the five shall
be final and binding upon all con-
cerned. Provided that should the four
first selected fail to agree upon the
fifth person the Taft-Walsh commits
sion shall be requested to name the
fifth person. In all cases the decis-
ion of the board of arbitration.
whether it be the first four selected
or the five, shall be final and binding
upon employer and employees, and
pending a decision there shall be no
lockout or strike.
In sincerely hope the foregoing
recommendation will meet with the
approval of the employers and the
striking employees and that such ap-
prevail be evidenced by the signatures
of the parties interested or their duly
authorized representatives on the fol-
lowing and hereto attached form.
Respectfully submitted.
