STRIKE BY PER DIEM
EMPLOYEES LIKELY
Wage Board Obdurate, and
Only City Heads Can
Avert WaIkOut.

With four out of five members of
the District wage board refusing to
recommend a substantial increase in
the wages of per diem employees OF
the local government, there appeared
today little possibility of avoiding a
strike of these men on Saturday
night.
Unless the District Commissioners
approve the recommendation of Frank
j. Bresnaham, member of the wage
board, who today will render dis
senting opinion on the boards find
ings, leaders of the per diem men de-
clare strike is almost inevitable.
The wage board made it's report to
Commissioners Brownlow and kutZ
yesterday afternoon. The Commis-
sioners did not take the report under
consideration, preferring to wait
until the minority report had been
filed before deciding whether to fol-
low the boards recommendations.
Conciliators of the Department of
Labor, who for the past two weeks
has been working for settlement Of
the wage controversy between the
Commissioners and per diem men, to-
day admitted the situation was grave.
The District Commissioners have
until Saturday night to accede to the
demands of the per diem men for an
increase in pay of rs cents a day. II
they refuse to grant this increase
there is little doubt but that the men
will strike.
Saturday night the City Employees
Association, which claims 30 per cent
of the per diem men for it's organiza-
ton, meets at 1905 NJ street north
west
This association last Saturday voted
to defer drastic action until next Sat
urday, to give the Labor Department
! conciliators time to effect an agree
ment between the two parties.
