Admiral Fisher
Urges Increased
Pay For Workers

Washington, ID. c. GLNS).-Rear
Admiral c. w. Fisher, director of the
Shore establishments Division of the
Navy Department, recently told the
Senate Civil Service Committee of the
''grOss injustices" of the Federal pay
system which are hampering the war
effort.
Admiral Fisher told the committee
the disparity of pay between the 90
per cent of the Navy employees who
are wage earnerS and the 40 per cent
in the white collar" or per annum
class was making recruitment to Ger
tain key jobs very difficult.
AS examples of some of the difficult
ties presented by the Fedora! pay
structure, Fisher cited the case of in
spectors at the Washington Navy Yard
who must be highly skilled mechanics,
but who have TO accept a pay cut OF
at least $500 when they are pro
noted" He said the mechanics earn at
least $25OO, while the inspectors start
at $1,000 per annum.
"It is of paramount Importance the
Admiral said, to have men to give
careful inspection TO torpcdoeS, shells
and guns. and therefore most disturb
inc" to lose inspectors because of the
antiquated pay system. He cited shop
keepers. StorekeeperS and stenogra-
pliers as also among the claSSltlcatlonS
where pay inequalities are most dis
turbing. He said stenographers were
finding they could earn more as
mattresses than using their badly
needed special education. Mare Island
Navy Yard lost 100 stenographers last
month, he added.
Admiral Fisher told the committee
that while he was in favor Of passing
the Mead bill, as soon as possible, he
believed that the per annum EN-
ployees should have Il - per cent
permanent raise as we'll as the over
time raise comprised in the proposed
legislation. He pointed out that 60
per cent of the employees had already
been raised on Il permanent basis.
