 New York, Aug. 3 = (GP) - Stocks moved over an irregular course throughout today's session with volume small.
 Other markets patterned after the big board. Bonds were mixed and so were grains. Wheat closed higher. Barley was down cents 8 bushel. Cotton lost an early gain and registered a small net loss late in the day. The dollar, late in the day, was slightly down.
 The stock market opened ir- regularly higher, but quickly ran into a decline. SWet stocks were the first to crumple. When they had sold off to more than 3 points and the remainder of the market had experienced a sympa- thetic reaction, the list steadied and came back from the lows.
 Announcement of award of gov ernment navy building contracts gave the shipbuilding issues a brief period of strength. They jumped 1 to 4 points and New York shipbuilding equaled it's high for the year. The group retained part of the gains.
 1h tAAC Au~oI AlOuI tikC AtI ASSucS5 had another rapid rise. In that pe- riod National Distillers touched 90 1-2 up 3-4: U. s. Industrial Alco- hol 66 IA up 2 IA; and American Commercial Alcohol AS 3-4 up 1. Part of the gains was erased before the finish, however.
 Mining issues were irregular but relatively more active than most others. Gold mining issues slipped off. Coppers were mixed. Silver issues ruled steady to firm influ- enced by steadiness in silver metal while other commodities declined.
 Leaders in the industrial, rail- road, and utility groups moved in a narrow range. Steel common was under the previous close most of the day, at one time selling down to 52 off 1 3-8 net. One of the Steel corporations subsidiaries benefited by ship orders and that brought the stock up from the low.
 J. I. Case declined more than 2 points on the irregularity in grains. Chrysler reacted more than a point in a barely steady automobile group. American Can lost ? points in dull trading. Allied Chemical was steady while Monsanto Chem ical gained IA points at it's top of 69 IA.
 There wer still uncertainties overhanging the market to account for them dulness. The principal one concerned the dollar. No con- firmation came on the apparently authentic reports which circulated out of Washington yesterday that the imitation program would, soon be resumed.
 Traders who had been hoping for 8 free gold market here soon were disappointed by opinions of experts that no such market would be permitted until the governments s financing arrangements for the rest of the year were made.
 Another uncertainty, according to market observers, was the pros- pect of reduced earnings of large corporations unde rthe nationa recovery administration.
 Traders withheld commitment on the long side until they deter

 rious types of ships submitted by government yards last June but that these estimated did not take into consideration increased cost of

 into consideration shorter work

Employers Given
 Explanations
(continued from Page ll.)

Paragraph seven on the reem-- ployment agreement reads:
 Employers agree not to reduce the compensation for employment now in excess of the minimum wages hereby agree to (notwith- standing that the hours worked in such agreement may be hereby reduced) and to increase the pay for such employment. by an: equit- able readjustme of all pay sched- ules."
 The interpretation reads:
 "An employe previously paid by the day, week or. month, will re- ceive as much for the shorter day, week or month.
 "An employe previously paid by the hour will. of course, receive as much per hour, but as shortening his hours will reduce his actual earnings per day or week, his compensation per hour is to be in- creased by an equitable adjust ment.
 'There is no fixed rule which can be applied to determine what is an equitable readjustment. In general, it will be equitable to figure what the employe would have earned at his previous rate per hour in a normal week in the industry, and then increase the hourly rate so as to give him substantially the same compensation he would have gotten for that normal week. But consideration must be given to other factors. including: Is the ex- isting rate high or low compared with the average rate paid in the industry? Will the resulting ad- justment result in an unfair com petitive advantage to other em- pIoyers or other trades of indus tries? Will long standing wage differential be lost if there is no increase in the existing rate?
 "Where an employer is bound by the terms of a contract with a labor organization entered into as result of a bonafide collective bargaining and he is unable to ef- feet change in such contract by agreement in order to comply with the terms of the presidents re- employment agreement, he may certify his compliance with the presidents agreement with the fol- lowing exception:
 ExcepC dS Tequhcu " SoAAPiy with the terms of agreement in effect between the undersigned and-(name'o of labor organization). 'It should be understood that this exception can be made only in the case of a contract not sub ject to change at the discretion of the employer and then only after a certified copy of the contract has been filed with the National Recovery Administration and its approval has been given to the re- ception stated.'
