Ohio B. T. c. To Sponsor
Amendments to PdYLdw

Columbus, o. (OLNS). John w.
Jockel, East Cleveland, president Of
the Ohio State Building and Construc-
tion Trades Council, last week urged
all Organized Labor in the state to ask
their Representatives and Senators in
the Ohio General Assembly to support
amendments to the prevailing wage
law contained in Senate Bill No. 63,
sponsored by the Council.
Amendments to the law were made
necessary, President Jockey pointed
out in general letter to affiliated
members, by a ruling made by former
Attorney General Herbert Duffy which
restricted the prevailing wage to the
county in which a signed agreement
was in effect between Building Trades
Unions and employing contractors.
One of the amendments provides
that where there is no signed agree
ment or understanding in effect in the
immediate locality where a public
works project is contemplated, then
the prevailing rate of wages establish
ed in the nearest locality shall be the
prevailing wage.
Another amendment prohibits gen.
eral or sub-contractors from sub-let-
ting work for an amount less than the
prevailing wage rate stipulated in the
contract.
Other amendments provide that
where a contractor fails to pay the
wages specified in the bidding blank,
he is subject to a fine for the first
offense and forfeiture of contract for
second offense, and any contractor
demanding a "kick- back" of a portion
of wages paid a worker is subject to
a fine.
President Jockel also urged united
opposition to ripper legislation which
will reorganize the Unemployment
Compensation Commission.

faith in them but feels the city
might be developed as a medical
center if municipal facilities were
available.
Headed "Do we want a new
hospital in Redwood Fails?" the
article says:
