Signed last night by Benjamin F.

Recognized the Organizing Commit

Time and Half for Overtime.
Granted a general pay raise of 10
cents an hour effective March is,
which established a S5a-day mini
mum scale, and provided for time-and-
one-half pay for all work over eight
hours in one day or 40 hours in one

Created a joint committee of COM
pany and union representatives to
meet not later than March 10 to ef-

working conditions, application OF
wage rates, hours, rules and method
for adjusting disputes arising under
terms of the agreement.
The agreement-flrst of such broad
character signed by major steel
company in As years-expires at mid
night February %, 1888. Steel op-
orators have had labor contracts dur
ing that time, but they related only
to certain divisional units or depart
mentS.
The wage increase, which the COM
pany also announced for all of its
other employees, was similar to boosts
by employers of more than 375,000 OF
the induStry's $4,000.
The wage jump and the granting of
recognition to the union by the in
dustry's largest producer definitely
scotched all talk here of a possible
Nationwide steel strike at this time.

EE[PAY BOOST

Organized Labor Leaders
Hail Fourth Major In
crease of 1887.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Organized labor leaders hailed to-
day the fourth major pay boost OF
1887, which they hope will put $780,
100000 year more in the pay en-
velopes of steel workers.
They added the steel advance to
these earlier increases:
A gain, for Pacific Coast maritime
workers, excepting longshoremen, won
after 98-day strike.
A s25,O0O,000 wage gain for Cen
eral Motors workers, announced the
day that strike was settled. This fol-
lowed by a few days a $14,000,000
raise for Chrysler workers.
Clothing Workers Increase.
A 10 per cent pay boost for $4,000
members of the Amalgamated Cloth
ing Workers, amounting to $30,000,000
a year, which becomes effective in the
mems clothing industry May 15. This
increase resulted from collective bar
gaining without a strike.
Two other huge increases have been
asked. The United Mine Workers
have demanded Is per cent boost,
with a guaranteed annual income of
$1,000, starting April ! in the SOFT
coal fields.
The operators maintain this would
cost s270,0O0O00 a year, although the
miners say this figure is much too
high. Negotiations toward an agree
ment are under way in New York.
Rail Wage Negotiations.
The railroad unions have asked
20 per cent boost that would raise
the carriers wage bill an estimated
1850, 100000 a year. Negotiations
probably will start this month.
Many other smaller industries have
raised wages this year with little at
tendant publicity. The New England
leather tanneries. for example. boosted
pay Is per cent, while several shoe
manufacturers in the same area
granted 10 per cent increases.
With the large industries and large
unions setting the pace, labor leaders
have SAID they intend to redouble
their efforts to win corresponding
saises for workers in smaller plants.
