To ACT
ON NAVY YARD
PAY DEMAND
Machinists Ask for 90 Cents
an HourNow Getting
62 Cents

The demand OF n1achihists at the
washington, navy yard that their
pay be increased from So cents to
90 cents an hour Is being consid-
cred ut t6day's meeting Of the navy
yard wage board.
Leaders OF the Irachinists' group
contend that their craft Ii entitled
10 the same wages that are being
paid to machinists in private indus
tries. In addition they feel that
they should receive as much pay as
some of the other crafts employed
at the Washington NAVY ward.
According TO N. p. Atlas. presi-
dent 6f the international Associa-
ton Of Machinists, the present basis
OF pay for 1I1achinists at the Wash.
ingtofi navy yard is not enough.
particularly In view Of the Increased
In the District of Columbia.
''Machinists in private industry
are receiving 90 cents an hour and
in most of the cities the cost OF
living is not as high as it is in
washington. Last January we
noticed that the increase Of only
2 cents an hour, given to ma
chinists in the Washington navy
ward, was Inadequate and took the
matter up with officials of the
Navy Department. They told US
that the wage question could not
be re.opened at that time, but de.
clared that the complaint Of the
machinists seemed to be a just
enc, and that the matter would be
given thorough consideration at the
present meeting of the navy yard
wage board, which has been hold
ing hearings at the Washington
navy yard for over week. Mr..
Atlas declared.
It is the hope OF the machinists
that following today's hearing the
navy yard wage board will recon-
mend to the departmental board of
the Navy Department that their
demand for increase be granted.
