.SHIPBUILDERS GIVEN
INCREASE IN WAGES
Upward Revision Made by labor
Board To Iiring About Uniform
ity In All Shipynrd Trades.

WASHINGTON, oct. 27.-Up-
ward revision OF wages In all ship
yards OF the country to provide uni
form national rates for practically
all the shipyard trades, effective Inn
ediately, was announced today by
the Ahipbuilding labor adjustment
board. Two great districts are Gre
ated. one for the Pacific coast and
the other embracing the Atlantic
and gulf coasts and Great Lakes. In
the first, increases average 20 per
cent. In the second Is per cent,
with the basic rates for the princi-
pal skilled trades fixed at 8 cents
per hour in both.
The decision will be reviewed
every six months and further In
creases granted II costa Of living
warrant.
Awnrd Retroactive.
The Pacific coast award Is retro
active 10 August /. Under the two
awards In some instances there was
differences OF few cents an hour
in favor OF the Pacific coust, to off.
get higher living costs there. In
that section half OF the award al
ready ia in effect. having been
granted by employers in December,
1917, and confirmed by the board
last February so that the actual av-
erage increase in the west at the
present time is 10 per cent OF the
wages In effect in October. 1917.
Owing to the diversity Of COndi-
tions in various parts OF the country
1t was not found advisable TO estab-
llsh nationally uniform scale for
labOrcrs, rates for them having been
To-. Ar.. -
coast, tho North Atlantic and Lakes,
and the South Atlantic and gulf,
Premiums Must Bc Authorized.
No changes in existing piece work
rates are TO be made until after con-
ferences between representatives OF
the shipyards and the piece work
crafts, TO be held here this week.
Further extension of the premium,
bonus and contract systems in effect
in some yards is prohibited. unless
authorized by the board.
The decision diNsctly affects about
100000 shipyard workcrs and the
board believes they will have an in
direct bearing on the wages of other
workers in all parts OF the country.
Increases granted are based on
cost OF living statistics furnished by
the department or labor. Because
advances in the cost Of living affect
laborers and helpers and other en-
phyes Of lower wages, more than
the skilled men paid higher wages
the board has given larger proper
tionate increases to them. Rates
above $5.2h per day were increased
an average Of IL per cent In the east
and 20 per cent in the west, while
below that figure the men were
granted as much moro as 'seemed
required by strict application OF
the cost Of living statistics reported
by the department of labor

Doctor Reeder said that the dis

possible to see that the dishes are
properly washed. Closing down Of
soda fountains is probably one Of
the hest methods OF checking the
disease that has been taken here, as
IL has prevented persons from
spreading the disease through the
use OF drinking glasses and spoons.
The city is still working through
