WAGE CASES ARE DECIDED
First Time in Annals OF Var Labor
Board When Umpire Proved
Necessary.
MANY RECEIVE INCREiJED PAY
Women Doing Like Worn With Men
Receive Same Compensation.
Rights OF Employees to Join
Unions Protected.
MANY RECEIVE INCRmA3ED PAY

WASHINGTON. August 2s.-The Ma
tionai War Labor Board announced a
final decision in the Bridgeport ma
men are involved, working in sixty-six
munition plants there.
The decision comes from Otto NJ Ed
litZ. appointed by the board as an um-
pirc in the case. When the President
appointed the board he provided that,
should II be unable TO reach unani-
nous verdict in any case. the matter
should be referred to an umpire. This
Is the first case in the history of the
board in which 1t has been necessary
to call In an umpire.
Labor in submitting the case to the
boards decision has agreed to await
It's action. but the length of time in
agree and the further consideration
by the umpire brought a serious crisis
late last week and the entire $1,000
waikou, Joint Chairman Frank P.
Walsh hurried to Bridgeport and was
able to hold the men at their work:
Affiliated crafts in Newark. y. j., voted
against strike at the time.
INCREASES TO ALL GETTING
LESS THAN IS CENTS
The decision grants wage increases
to all workers receiving under IS cents
wage Of ~ cents an hour for all male
workers twenty-one years of age or
over, and Of 3. cents an hour for all
and over. Blu, it orders that women
doing like work with men shall re-
ceivc equal pay. 1t protects the rights
OF the employees 10 join unions and
orders collective bargaining. The
eight hour day Is made applicable TO
all plants.
The issue over which the fight was
most bitter was that Of classification
OF employees. The men demanded that
they he classed as tool-makers. machin-
lists. specialists and machinists help
ers. The employers contended that
there was such a specialized number
OF workers with so diversified work
that so general classification with a
fixed fiat rate OF pay was Impossible.
The umpire refused at the present
time 10 change tn, classification, be-
cause OF the consequent disorganiZa
tiOn Of the industry.
He provided. however, for the COM
mttees 10 be chosen by the workers
which should adjust. differences with
the employers and for the establish
ment of local board, three members
of which will be chosen by the Bridge
por, employers, three by the Bridge
port workers and chairman TO be
named by the Secretary of War, which
shall adjust all future differences
which cannot. be handled by the shop
committees of the workers with the
employer.
