Navy Yard Workers Win Ask
New Hearing on Decision by
Wage Board.

A strong protest viii be made
to the Naval Departmental Board
by the machinists and other
uni6nized craftsmen against the
adoption of the wage award hand
ed down by the Washington Navy
Yard Wage Board.
Disappointment Is Bitter.
The average increase Of 5 cents
per hour granted the workers over
the existing wage scale Is q bitter
disappointment to ali of the unions
represented in the hearings before
the local board. They had expected
that when Secretary of the Navy
DENLY ordered the wage question
in the yards reopened 1t would mean
a general sterilization Of wages
much higher than the existing
scales.
The machinests asked for q 90
cent an hour rate, instead of the
72-cent rate in the existing scale,
which was reaffirmed by the Naval
Department Board six weeks ago.
They are granted by the local board
a 7S-cent an hour rate, an increase
so small that the officials Of Dis
trict No. A, headed by N. p. Atlas.
will make hard fight before the
Naval Departmental Board to have
1t increased.
VIII Ask New Hearing.
Admiral Robinson, head OF the
departmental board. is not now in
Washington, but upon his return
q committee of machi1ists will
make q formal request OF him for
hearings. The full report of the
local board is not yet known to the
machinists' representatives, and
they want to ascertain the basis
upon which the compromise scale
was arrived at before INDUCING III
