Navy Will Enforce
Labor Board Rule,
Declares Daniels
Secretary Is Aroused by iIe
Refusal Of Bethlehem
Steel Company 10 Carry
Out Awards OF Bureau

WASHINGTON, Jan 18 Every
power Of the Navy Department viii be
used to force the acceptance by com
panes with which it has contracts Of
awards made by the War Labor Board,
Secretary Daniels said to-day, after
conference with Joint Chairman Taft,
of the board, ON the situation growing
out Of the Bethlehem Steel Company's
refusal to put into operation one Of
these awards.
Mr.. Daniels SAID he was taking up at
once the question of how the depart
ment should proceed. It appeared, he
said, the Bethlehem Company had
agreed some months ago to permit col
lective bargaining and establishment Of
shop committees among its employees,
but as soon as the armistice was signed
the company lost Interest,"
NO hint was given as to what form
the Navy Departments action might
take, but Mr.. Daniels indicated that
every contract le. BY the navy included
cancellation clause. The War De
partment has more and larger contracts
with the Bethlehem company than the
navy.
Joint Chairman Taft announced later
ten days its decision on the complaint
Of Bethlehem Steel Company employees
that the company had not lived up to
the terms Of awards.
Mr. Taft said during the interval the
board would investigate munition CON
tracts held by the company to deter
mine whether the government had al
lowed the corporation money to pay the
increased wages which the board
awarded.
Navy officials have arranged confer
cnces with the War Department in or
der that common plan OF action might
be agreed upon in dealing with the
situation.
Rights Of steel plant employees to an
cight-hour day and to establishment Of
shop committees to present collective
grievances to managoments were de
clared by the board in series Of de
c.sions made public to-day. Plants Of
TIE bqrden Ison and steel Company,
Troy y. T.; the Cohoes Valley Milling
Company, Of Cohoes, n. Y, and others
we're affected by the decisions.
