SECRETARY OF LABOR
HEARS WAGE DISPUTE
Workmen at Norfolk Navy Yard
on Verge of Strike.

The Secretary OF Labor yesterday
received a delegation representing
workmen at the Norfolk Navy Yard.
who presented to him their side of
the controversy over wages for Sum
day work. Secretary Wilson prom
ised to submit their case to the
Secretary of the Navy.
The dispute affects all the navy
yards in the country and involves
about 1000 men, including electrical
workers, firemen, engineers and ma
chinists. 1t arose with the signing
of the armistice, when the Navy De-
partment stopped all overtime work.
During the war the men who are
now complaining received, in COM
mon with the other workers time
and a half pay for Sunday work.
Since the signing OF the armistice
they have worked on Sundays but
have had another day off during the
week. and have received the regular
wages for Sunday work, They are
asking for overtime for Sunday
labor. even though they have a
midweek holiday.
A stoppage of work at the Nor
folk yard last Sunday was averted
only through the intervention of
the Secretary of Labor. who acted
at the request of the Secretary of
the Navy. Walter Davidge, of
Washington, acted as commissioner
of conciliation.

Both had agreed when they went
in that it was a Dutch treat, each

for the door.

You is a liah." said Bess. You
said you was goin' to pay for your

Several more "liahs" were passed
around. Both women continued the

with them to go outside.
Suddenly Hattie stuck a hatpin in
Bess' arm. Bess hollered and then
sunk her teeth in Hattie's cheek.
