DUE
FROM UNION
LEADERS
Campaign Being Conducted to
Scrap "PrevaiIing Scale"
Plan; Many Are Affected

quiet official campaign is
under way to bring skilled trades
in the Federal service under the
partial jurisdiction of the Person
mel Classification Board.
This fact was disclosed today
in connection with certain find
ings Of the board dealing with
navy yards, arSenals, supply
depOtS, various units of the Post
office Departments, and other
points where manufacturing is
done.
Machinists, patter n-makers,
moulders, ETC., are among the
skilled artisans at the Washing
ton Navy Yard who would be af-
fected by the change, which
probably will meet with opposi-
tion when it comes up in the
next Congress, although no Off
cial action upon it has yet been
taken by labor organizations.
Would Fix Wages
The effect of finding Of the
Personnel Classification Board
would be to transfer to 1t the an
nual readjustment of wages at
the navy ward, ETC., which is now
performer by departmental boards.
This annual wage-fixing is done
on the basis of prevailing rates"
paid by private industry IN the
trades, and generally has worked
out satisfactorily.
There is a suggestion ir the
personnel boards report that the
wages in the skilled trades be
fixed by statute in the sane way
that salaries are fixed in the civil
service groups, but it does not
take the form of a finding.
Opposition Is Expected
Union labor's attitude toward
the proposal will not be officially
determined until the Interna'
tional Order of Machinists and
the other organized groups hold
their conventions in the summer
and fall months. 1t is predicted,
however, that the great majority
of them will be opposed to any
change in the present system.
The prevailing rate" system
of fixing wages has been in force
in all the navy yards for many
years, and has rarely resulted in
any friction.
Occasional appeals from the
decisions of departmental wage
boards have been taken, but in
general the findings have been
accepted by the unions as fair
and Just. To centralize the an
nually recurring wage adjust.
