United States Labor Board Fixes
90 Cents an Hour in
Eight Plants.
AFFECTS WAR INDUSTRIES.
Settlement Of Other Disputes Applies
Basis Eisht-Hou Day-WiII Decide
Lowest Living Wage" for
Workers Generally.

Washington.-Fiye policies of far-
reaching consequence In the employ
ment OF labor were laid down by the
National War Labor Board. They
were:
/. Approval of the. principle Of the
eight-hour day.
2. Insistence on the payment OF la
Dor Of "ivine wa e."
8. Disapprovai Of the employment
OF children under fourteen years OF
age on government contracts
4. DisapprovaI Of the direct or indi-
rect employment on government con-
tracts Of prisoners who have been SEN
fenced to hard labor.
S. Adoption Of a division line be-
tween the war industries in which
women should be employed and those
in which they should not.
In the adoption of these principles,
applied in many instances TO pending
labor disputes, the board, of which
former President VIM. n. Taft and
Frank p. Walsh are joint chairmen,
has not hesitated to 90 beyond the
rival claims of the employers and the
employees.
This was notably the case In the an
nouncement by the board of its deci-
sion In the dispute involving 5000 EN-
ployees in eight plants at Waynes-
boro, Pa. In this case the board es-
tablished 40 cents an hour as the mini
mum wage to be paid any class of
workers, including common laborers,
on the theory that less than that
amount was not living wage. BY
living wage. 1t was explained, the
board means "the minimum rate OF
wage to permit the worker and his
family to subsist In health and COM
fort" $
Application Of the basic eight hour
day was ordered in settlement Of labor
disputes at the Worthington Pump and
Machinery Company and Blake
Knowles plants, East Cambridge,
Mass, and the Snow plant at Buffalo.
Previous wage awards for these plants
were approved by the entire board.
Tuesday, July %, was fixed as the
date for determination by the board Of
what Is minimum living wage for
workers generally and for decision
as to general application of the eight
hour standard for days work.
In the Waynesboro case the board
granted all wage increases sought by
skilled workers and made the lowest
rate for unskilled men 40 cents an
hour instead of 30 as the men request
ed This means increases of as much
as 81 per cent. for low paid men.
