SCHEFFER AND
 LAvIT DISAGREE
Differ on Method to Be Pur- sued By Munition
 Workers.

Attorney J. Walter Scheffer of the st-Bridgeport National Bank build ing, who took the original appeal from the ruling No. fl of the War Labor Board on Dec. 6, 1918, and Samuel Lavit, business agent of the Machinists' union do not agree as to the method that is to be pursued by the munition workers who are bene- fitted by the ruling on the appeal. Rule 14 is:
 "Employes who worked for any company, which is a party to the award, during the retroactive period of said company, but who for any req son stopped work or were discharged, are entitled to back pay, based upon the increases set forth in the award ; provided q written demand is filed with such company before November 1, 1918." This denied back pay to all who failed to file written claims.
 Under date of May 1, 1919, the War Labor Board decided the appeal from thin decision in the following terms:
 Appeal from Ruling No. fl is sus- tained. the board being of the opinion that the award included, among other employees, all who were working for the employers set forth in the award between the retroactive dates named therein and August 2S, 1918, regard less Of how short the term of service, and that their right to compensation should not be sacrificed by the fail ure to file claims prior to Nov. l, 191S:"
 '"ehe board does believe. however, tha. a date should be established be- yond which the Bridgeport employers should not be required to recognize any claims, by whomsoever made, for retroactive wages not heretofore presented The board therefore es- | ta-blishes June 1, 1919, as the date on or before which all claims for retro active payments must be presented in writing to the employers in order to be recognized and paid.''
 Mir. Scheffer who represents a large number of claimants says that it is not necessary to file claims with the members of the Board of Mediation and Consolidation, composed of Samuel LaVit, David Clydesdale and Patrick Scotland as they are not mentioned in the decision. MT. Lavit says that it is not necessary for claimants to go To any lawyer, as all they have to do is to file their claim in writing and that copy of the claim should be filed with the Board of Mediation and Consolidation as a protection and proof l that the claim has been filed.
