SHIPPING BOARD
GRANTS SEAMEN
$40 PAY BOOST
Flat Increase in Monthly
Wage Affects All Men
Employed on Vessels.
LIKELY TO END STRIKE
Award Will Not Apply to
Privately Owned or
Operated Ships.

The United States Shipping
Board yesterday announced that II
had granted a fiat. horizontal in
crease of $40 per month in the
wages of sailors, fremen. cooks
and stewards and other men en-
ployed on vessels owned or oper-
ated by the board sailing from
Atlantic and Gulf ports.
The wage increase is uncondi-
tional. and is effective at once. Be-
cause of this and because of the
granting of an eight-hour working
day in port. the Shipping Board
believes this will end the strike,
although the demands of the men
were for an increase of SIS. The
board made this statement last
night:
The Shipping Board believes
that the conditions which it hereby
announces are just and fair and
expects all men to return at once
to work on its vessels to facilitate
prompt dispatch of vessels and
cargo"
Amounts to 10 Per Cent.
Vice Chairman Raymond B. Ste
vens, of the board. who held the con-
ferences with the representatives of
the unions and the employees of the
Shipping Board. said last night that
the fiat increase of SO amounts to
more than 10 per cent
American wages are pretty high,
and this gives the men q very fa-
vorable adjustment of the demands
which have been pending since early
June" said Mr.. Stevens. Licensed
officers received a 5 per cent ad-
vance last December. effective in
January. but the men have received
no increase until now.
I'VE can't spess fCr tire private
owners OF ships. The American
steamship Association voted Satur-
day for a 10 per cent increase, con-
dttional upon an agreement being
reached on reasonable rules. The in
crease ordered by the Shipping Board
is unconditional. Any adjustments
VIII be made later"
Has Granted s-Hour Day.
Vice Chairman Stevens called at
tention to the fact that the Ship
ping Board had granted a working
day of eight hours for the men
while in port II was stated that
, the Shipping Board could not at
this time consider favorably the
three-watch system for deck crews
because this would tend to increase
the size of crews at a time when
| there is a great shortage of sailors.
The new scale of wages affects
individual employees in the various
classifications as follows:
Carpenters raised from $50 to
800: boatswains from SIS 10 $50:
Quartermasters from s77 to $3.50:
able seamen. from SIS to sS5: ordi-
nary seamen from s55 to $50; boys
for training purposes. wage. $40.
Water tenders raised from $50
to $50; oilers. from $50 to $50:
storekeepers. from $50 to $50: fire.
men, from SIS to SIS. wipers and
coalpassers, from s65 to SIS; deck
engineers. from SIS to s95: pump
men. from $S5 to s95.
Stewards from $40 TO s125: chief
cooks from 500 to Sis; second
cook and baker, from $50 to 500;
second cook. at SIS: third cooks
from $50 to $40: messmen from sec
to $50; messboys. from s55 to Sos.
