GET INCREASE ASKED FOR
Award Made by War Labor Board Full.
Iy Satisfies Workers in Plants Max
ing War Munitions.

Wage increases to all workers now
receiving less than 78 cents an hour in
66 plants in the munitions and related
industries of Bridgeport, Conn.,, are
provided in an award of Otto M. Ed
litz, umpire chosen by the national
war labor board to decide controversies
between the companies and their en-
ployees.
The decision affects some $4,000
workers, among whom there has been
dissatisfaction for long time. A
threatened strike was averted when
Frank I. Walsh, joint chairman of the
war labor board, addressed the tOilers
with plea for patience.
The award establishes a minimum
wage of AZ cents an hour for all male
workers, skilled or unskilled, 81 OF
over, and a minimum of 80 cents an
hour for all female workers, 10 OF
over.
1t grants the workers demand for
the basic eight-hour day in all the
manufacturing plants; establishes the
right of workers to bargain collec
lively to join trade unions and pro-
vides that women performing the same
work as men shall receive the same
pay.
The wage increases are made re
troactive.
The award of Mr.. Eidlitz has beer
duly made the award of the board.

that additional hours worked for shall
be paid for at the rate of one and a
half times the regular rate, whether 1t
be an hours wage, or an hours earn
ings doing piece work. There really is
no need for any employer whose bust
ness comes under jurisdiction of this
board to require resort to any action
on part Of his employees for establish
ment of the two points above noted, as
they have been insisted upon by the
board every time it has made an adj
justment. Another point is the re-
quirement that there be recognition of
the principle Of collective bargaining,
and that means that there be no dis
couragement, expressed or implied, of
efforts to organize the employees of
any shop or industry. Still another is
that wages shall be such that they will
permit the person earning them to
live with his family in ordinary COM
fort. The Interpretation of this, most
frequently accepted, is the union scale
in effect at that particular time or
place. Not that the board without
further consideration DEGREES that the
scale price shall prevail; but it has
found by experience that it best ar
rives at desired results, and in short
est time, If it takes the union scale
price as starting point, and then con-
siders oral and other testimony as to
whether this price Should obtain, or
be modified up or down.
