Workers in Firm Less Than Year
to Get Proportionate Raise.
C. !. O. Silent on Action.

The Washington Gas Light Co. has
granted increases in pay for its work.
ers amounting to about 100000 a
year, following negotiations and COL
lective bargaining with the District of
Columbia Gas Workers Union.
Edward j. Boothby, vice president
Of the gas company, said the union
concerned constituted a majority of
the 1900 employees of the company
and had been recognized by the COM
pany itself. under the national labor
relations act.
Meantime. it was learned from
headquarters of the Committee for
Industrial Organization that its Mine
Workers Local, No. 5, with James
Nelson in charge, has been carrying
on an organization campaign among
the gas workers union here. They
claim many members.
The pay increases. Boothby ex-
planned, were based on 10-cents-an-
hour raises for all employees who had
been with the company year or
more. Workers with the company
less than q year were given propor-
tionate increases The ofhcers and
supervisory officials Of the gas COM
pany. however. were not included in
the increase, Boothby said.
The union recognized by the COM
pany, according to Boothby, is class
ifed by the National Labor Rela-
tions Board as an independent"
union. He declined to comment on
the G. I. o. campaign for gas workers
members.
Boothby said one Of the factors
taken into consideration in the nego-
tiations over the increase was the
higher cost of living in the District.
