500 SHIP WORKERS
OUT IN BALTIMORE
Will Not Return Till Judge Gray,
Wilmington, Decides Demand
on Adjustment Board.

Washington, March Gothic Ship
ping Board and the Emergency Fleet
Corporation are finding it increasingly
difficult to keep the lid on the shipyard
labor situation. The spectre OF labor
unrest that has hovered over every move
in the shipbuilding program will not
be laid.
Six hundred rivcters, caulkers, ream-
ers, drillers and shippers employed by
the Baltimore Drydock and Shpbullding
Corporation are out on strike. telc-
gram to the Emergency Fleet Corpora
tion said that the men made no demands
and the company was without any ex-
PLANTATION of their course.
The message stated that IL was
learned from outside sources that they
were dissatisfied with the rate of pay
and would not return to work until
Judge Gray of Wilmington has rendered
decision on the demand that they
made on the adjustment board for
slO.56 day for clippers and caulkers
and S24 day for a gang of machine
riveters, consisting of two men and a
boy.
DEMAND pIG INCREASE.
Judge GRAY was one Of those sitting
on the Emergency Fleet Corporation la
Dor adjustment board in fixing the wage
scale for the Chesapeake and Delaware
district. The demand is a big increase
over the figures allowed by the board.
1t is known that there are rumbllngs
and mutterngs in other directions along
the eastern seaboard and that trouble
over the wage scales in the southern
districts is threatened. Discomfort IS
springing up III many quarters IN the
shipyards over the rates ot pay fixed by
the labor adjustment board.
As soon as one strike ~ adjusted
trouble comes in another direction 1t
appears under the surface here that this
unrest at bottom is due to dissatlsfac-
ton Of the eastern workers with wage
scales. which are not as high as those
on the Pacific coast. The coast scale rs
the highest in the country. The Chesa-
peakc and Delaware scale Is not so high
in many respects and the south Atlantic
and Gulf schedule is even lower.
Men in Baltimore who arc on strike
were changed from piece work TO more
difficult work and gwen n daily wage
around So a day, which was fixed by the
adjustment board. They took the posi-
ton that rs they were able to make $40
a dav on piece work (this work WAS the
easy work on ship that they should
make $40 day.

LATAH COUNTY,s ROLL OF HONOR

The pick and flower of the young manhood of this
county has been rushing to the year
to battle for all that America holds
the young men have made thrills soul It is nspir-

But are the folks at home doing all they should
TO SHOW their appreciation of what these loyal sons
Latah are volunteering at the front? There is
complete official record of the who gone into
the army and navy from among those who registered
June D. 1876 but this falls short of the complete
roll OF honor Many young volunteered before
the registration day, Many young to register
enlisted since in branch army or navy Many
others had hurried to the front day of reg
istration Many others preparing to go for
ward.
Nowhere IN the county is there anything like COM
plete roster of these young soldiers freedom
is altogether wrong. Some historical society, some
other organization official be authorized
to make up complete honor roll for the county 1t
due the boys who to do the fighting The list will
prove to be of immense value as the days go by
Perhaps this is duty the county council of defense
could best undertake and supervise 1t is something
that every patriotic citizen in the county would
mend most highly.
