by a suitable program for ad-

course there is a matter of re-

Agreement
Reached at lisp

After negotiations for six months
between the Harris Seybold-P Pot
ter Company and UE Local 1853,
an agreement has been reached
on all points on the contract dis
pute. Commissioner Conally of
the Cancellation Service, u. S. De-
partment of Labor, served as me-
diator in reaching an agreement.
The new agreement, among
other things, provides for check
off of union dues, seven cents
night bonus, vacation pay of one
year, one week; five years, two
weeks, with one additional day
granted for each year of service
between one and five years.
The stipulation sets forth that
negotiations will begin at once to
review the wage increases, on
non-incentive workers, and the
adjustments made will be retroac-
tive to January 2S, 1913. This also
applies to the night shift bonus.
The night bonus, wage issue,
and vacation plan are all subject
to War Labor Board approval.
A joint rate committee was
provided for in the new agree
ment to review rates, job evalua-
tons, of all employees coming
under the working agreement. The
union was represented by Andrew
Cad, chief Steward; Robert Var
nell, night chief steward; Lowell
Mauldin, Clarence Lowe, Charles
Kohl, Clyde U1lery, and K. M.
Kirkendall, local representative.
