Settle Dispute Is Through
WLB. Says Local Head

New York Mayor La Guardia
stated that the Board of TranspOrta-
ton would probably announce mil
lion-dollar wage increase for the $1,000
employees of the unified city transit
system within ten days, but denied
that the transit fare would 90 up as
Il result.
Asked about published report that
the city was contemplating fare of
712 cents to meet the pay increase and
other costs, the Mayor said:
81 don't think that any reliable
source of information can justify this
conclusion at this time. There is no
official source for any such Specula-
ton"
On the wage increase itself the
Mayor said:
There is an adjustment of working
conditions being studied. 1t is difficult
for any one not familiar with the
| intricacies of the many classiticatiOns
to understand the problem.
"There should be an adjustment
costing us about 81 100000 in addition
to the $7.O0O,OOO we gave last year.
1t should be made clear that neither
| the Mayor nor the Board of Trans
portation can enter into. a newspaper
controversy. We have been trying
patiently to ignore misstatements of
fact that have been made
The Mayor said the city had grant
ed $6,O54 900 in straight salary in
creases last year, adding that another
| 81 100000 had been spent to make the
adjustment possible.

New York local of the Transport
Workers Union, was quick to express
