STEEL COMPANY DODGES LABOR
AWARD.

Eugene Grace, chairman of the
Bethlehem steel corporation. has been
directed by the national war labo,
board to apply it's award of last July,
which was to become effective August
I. Because the corporation hes
lodged the award a delegation of ma
chinists and other trade nnionists Wis.
ed Washington and acquainted the
war labor board with conditions in
Bethlehem. The board cited Mr.
Grace, who assured the board that
the award would be applied. The
steel magnate, however, suggested, in
effect that whiel his concern could
hardly be classed as poverty stricken
stockholders would appreciate higher
prices since the government has in
sisted on living wage. Mr.. Grace
was told that this is a matter beyond
the control of the board.
The award orders the corporation
to pay rates equal to those paid by
the government in its arsenals and
navy yards. Collective bargaining is
also ordered, and the corporation is
instructed to select representatives to
meet an equal number of employees
representatives to adjust disputes.
The board assigned an official to see
that this award was complied with.
Archibald johnson, first vice presi-
dent of the Bethlehem steel corpora
ton, is mayor of Bethlehem, and Ed
ward Davies, for eight years a men,
Der of the state cossacks, is chief of
police. These officials. with the aid
of other corporation influences, made
1t impossible for the Machinsts' union
to hire hall for meeting purposes.
This developed such an acute situa-
ton that the federal department of
justice notified the unionists that 1t
would help them to secure a hall.

CARPENTERS INVEST $500.

Is
Brotherhood of Carpenters $50
were Just about over the top with q
100 per cent subscription to the
Fourth Liberty Loan, according to
the report Thursday night. The
union appropriated $500 of its funds
for q bond and the data turned into
the secretary of the industrial, divi-
ision shows that IS of the 100 mem
bers already have subscribed for
bonds in amounts ranging from $50
to $500. 1t was believed that the re-
turns of Friday would bring the con-
tributions up to the maximum.
This union has handled it's sub
scriptions through the secretary, who
has kept open house for bond buyers
every evening during the past week.
No organized drive was had, the first
week being purely voluntary. II by
chance few members should neglect
their duty during the first week the
bond committee of the union will
wait upon them in person.

LOW WAGES AND
SICK BENEFITS

While the two questions of low
wages and sick benefits were not con
nected up in the action of the Ship
yard Laborers, Riggers & Fasteners
at their meeting Monday night. it was
suggested by some of the speakers
that they were related questions.
A good deal of the time of the SEES
sion was taken up with consideration
Of committee report on plans for a
sick benefit to be placed in operation
through the union The decision was
that sick benefit should be made q
part of the union buainess. but the
details are not complete.
On the question of low wages IL
Wis brought out that number OF
the members, old employees of the
shIpyards, were working at the old
and obsolete scale of $3.571k. All
new men that are hired receive the
. $3.50 wage, but the barrier of the
customary red tape has prevented the
increase being accorded the old men.
The union decided that 1t was about
time that the tape was cut. and in
the interest Of harmony and war serv-
Ice that increases should be given.
The company officials have agreed to
adjust the discrepancies without de:
lay.

I'VE have made careful estimates

WHAT FARMERS ARE DOING

The Oak Grove community has
taken on the appearance of some Of
the Middle Tennessee farms, When
everything is dead and brown in
most communities the Oak Grove
community is alive with tender and
green crimson clover and alfalfa
This community is a good exafple Of
what can result from cooperation
and interest in better farm methods
and cooperation with the county
agent. Martin Farris was the first
man in the community to raise al
falfa and crimson clover. His neigh
bors WATCHED the progress Of these
crops with much interest, and when
Mr. Farris was seen cutting his al
falfa four times year the neighbors
thought that it was a good thing for
them. Now Sam Hicks has a fine
three acree plat of crimson clover
that he intends to save for seed.
The folks sure are doing things in
Oak Grove.
