MEETS DEMANDS OF LABOR
Shipbuildlng Adjustment Board Grants
Eight-Hour Day and Increased
Wages--AlIows Open Shop.

General increases In wages, an eight
hour day with time and a half pay for
overtime, free transportation where an
employee is compelled to spend more
than 10 cents 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 non
union men.
In granting 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 rs was made the effective
date of the award, which is retroac-
tive as to wages to February for all
yards except those In which disputes
have been settled temporarily on bas-
Is of other dates.

Lord Leverhulme. Intelligence and

remain in opposed camps and 1t would
be better for both If they could com
pose their differences.
increase your output with shorter
working hours and without decreasing

confidence and ask each to solve the
