dismissal-if not already ousted. The
places of these editors will be taken
by persons nominated by the propa-

Pittsburgh, Pa.-Announcemen was
made here of the signing of a new
agreement between the aluminium
Company of America and Aluminium
Workers. Unions of the American
Federation of Labor to replace the
uni-lateral agreement in effect for the
past two years between the company
and this group of unions.
The aluminium workers unions COW
cred by the agreement are No. 1904,
Alcoa, Tenn; No. 19737, Badin, N c.;
No. 1890, East ST. Louis, ILL.,; No.
1926, Massena, N. Y; No. 1882,
Logan's Ferry, Pa, and No. 1886,
New Kensington, Pa Local Lodge
No sal of the international Associa
ton of Machinists of New Kensington,
Pa, is also covered by the agreement.
The important provision of the new
agreement lies in the fact that it is
the first bi-lateral agreement secured
with this company by the unions and
that the agreement provides for the
abolition of all former NRA code
hours above eight hours per day and
40 hours per week wherever possible
to establish this working schedule
within the plants of the company COW
cred by the agreement.
In a few continuous operations
departments exception to the straight
40 hours week will be made in order
to provide that where there is rotation
Of shifts no employe will have to work
more than eight hours in any one "a
hours when he changes shifts.
Time and a half will be paid for
all time worked beyond eight hours
per day and 40 hours per week as
well as for all work performed on
Sundays and holidays, under the pro
visions of the new agreement.
The agreement also provides clari-
fcation Of the seniority rule giving
preference to the older employe at
times Of reduction Of forces as we'll
as giving preference where new jobs
are created or vacancies occur in the
preferred or higher rated positions.
Arrangements have also been made
in the agreement for protection to the
employees of all provisions under the
Walsh Healey public contracts act
and also any other federal or state
law that may be created which will
in any way affect the employees of the
Aluminium Company of America.
The agreement is a great advance
in collective bargaining over the for
mer agreement which was in effect, as
we'll as being the first agreement to be
signed by both the representative of
the company and representatives of
the unions.
The agreement was signed for the
Aluminium Company Of America by
Mr.. |. W. Wilson, vice president in
charge of operations. The committee
representing the unions, everyone of
whom also signed the agreement, We're
