power Problems

Chicago ULNS). .-PrOduction bottle
necks in n number of vital war indus
tries have been averted because of the
foresight of American Federation of
Labor pattern makers here.
For such bOttlenecks would most
certainly have developed If their union,
the Pattern Makers Association of
Chicago and Vicinity, had not succeed
ed, up to the present time, in solving
manpower problems in their trade
Unlike the War Manpower Commits
sions job freeze" the unions man
power program Is voluntary in charuc-
ter and Is similar to one suggested by
Victor \. Olander, ecretary-lrpaSurer
of the Illinois State Federation of
Labor. 1t was under way before the
freeze went into effect
we forcSaw Il critical manpower
situation at the very beginning of the
present emergency" Gunnar Hall
strom, business manager of the union,
told International Labor News Service.
Members Of the organization agreed
To confer with union officials before
making II change In jobs" he said in
outlining the unions program. He
added:
We have been able To convince some
members that, in the interest of war
production, ii was best for them TO
remain where they were. On the other
hand, If change In jobs was con
Sidered advisable and would not In
any way cause Il loss In production, II
was made, Usually, an exchange of
jobs was arranged"
The union" ilallstrom continued,
has kept II record Of the number o'
hours each shop works per week and
on the manpower requirements of the
industry. Workers are being trans
ferred from one plant To another with
out interrupting production
Hours at plants working only 40
hours II week are being heightened,
under arrangements with the manage
ment, 10 permit the release Of men re-
quired by other plants. Obviously
shops working 80 or 60 hours IA week
cannot release any of their help; also,
If men We're to quit their jobs at these
plants it would hinder production"
job referrals are handled by the
union. We know the problems of our
own trade. Consequently, Il great deal
of time, which is all-important on the
production front, has been saved"

Women In Service
Industries In New
York Poorly Paid
Many Unable TO Move To
Districts Where Higher
Pay Is Avdilcble

New York City ULNS)-In contrast
to the women in aircraft plants and
shipyards averaging $50 and $40 week
ly, women employed in laundries
beauty shops, the confectionery indus
try, and cleaning and dyeing establish
mens are earning only one-half to
two-tlirds of those amounts, the New
York State Department of Labor re-
ports. These service industries, as well
as the hotel and restaurant industries
are under state minimum wage orders
Low wages in service industries are
traditional. Since the PRONUNCIATION of
the minimum wage orders there has
been Il substantial increase in wages
due in part to the wage orders and in
part to wartime demand for labor. In
1897. before the wage order, median
weekly earnings of women in laundrieS
were %14.27. i.e., half the women work
erS received less than that amount and
half received more Last year the
median weekly wage for women work
erS in laundries was $17.S3.
In beauty shops the medan was
S13.47 in 1896 and $17.s7 in 1912; in
the confectionery industry, $15.73 in
1887 and S2O.7O in 1912: in the clean
ing and dyeing industry, $14.S1 in
1888 and Sl7.S4 in 1942.
Beauticians' Pay Up Sharply
In 1889 before the general upturn in
wage levels, median weekly earnings of
women laundry workers had advanced
per cent and those of beauticianS ~
per cent over pre-minimum wage
levels Hourly earnings had changed to
even more marked degree than week
ly earnings.
In 1899, only 4 per cent of the
women employed in cleaning and dye
least 30 cents an hour and less than
one-half Of | per cent of the women
in laundrieS, beauty shops and confec-
tionery plants failed to receive at least
that wage rate. Before the minimum
wage orders went into effect, per
cent of the women in laundries and 80
per cent of those in beauty shops earn
ed less than 30 cents an hour.
BY 1912, only Il few women in laun-
dries, beauty shops, cleaning and dye
plants were being. paid less than 30
cents an hour However. 42.2 per cent
of women workers in beauty shops, 81
per cent in cleaning and dyeing estaD-
lishments, 2l.3 per cent in laundries,
and 12.5 per cent in confectionery
plants received less than 40 cents an
hour.
Wage Orders Violated
Despite the relatively low rates of
the minimum wage orders, women
workers in some 5000 establishments
were during recent months underpaiI
$3.50, OJ3. II, it was, disclosed by pay
roll inspections made between Jan. l
and Sept 80, 1913. In resort hotels
some workers We're being paid less
than the Sc a week required under tn"
minimum wage order.
Many workers are leaving the Serv-
ice industries for the higher pay of
the manufacturing industries but many
continue to work for the low pay of
the service industries. The workers
who continue in these jobs are to Il
great extent women who normally
work i'm service industries close to
their homes. For Il variety of reasons
they are unable or unwilling to move
to communities where higher pay is
available.

The War Manpower Commits
sion, u. S. Civil Service and U. S.
Navy have just approved an ex-
tensive tour of southern states by
local officials for recruiting sew
eral hundred workmen, men and
women, skilled and unskilled, to
fill the many important vacancies
in essential shops and departments
of the Naval Operating Base here.
The group will include Naval
officers and representatives of
the War Manpower Commission
and Civil Service. tro
This tour, announced yesterday
afternoon by Captain c. E. Reor-
dan, Commandment, is expected to
last several weeks as the repre-
sentatives of the VINO, Civil Ser
vice and Navy will meet in At
lanta and make their plans to
cover the numerous industrial
.centers of the Atlantic Seaboard
and the Middle West.
The group, which will be known
as the Labor Recruiting Board
for the Key West Naval Operat-
ing Base, will leave soon for the
Georgia capital and will take
with them detailed information
regarding transportation, housing
accommodations, meals, draft sta
tus and types of jobs available.
The Labor Recruiting Board
will assemble in the Civil Service
offices of the various cities to in
terview allI persons interested in
work at this Navy Yard.
The prospective employees at
tention will be called to the fact
that during recent months the
Navy Department and various
Federal Government agencies
have done considerable to make
conditions in Key West more de-
sirable and that much larger
program of expansion is under
way with reference to housing,
foodstuffs, disqualification and re-
creation.
While there have been bad re-
ports emanating from this island
city in regard to the labor situa-
ton, it will be explained that
these reports have been exagger-
ated. In fact the Federal Govern
ment has been and is doing every
thing humanity possible to make
living conditions desirable for
workers and to provide them
with better and greater quantities
of foodstuffs.
The National Housing agency
announces that scores of homes
and apartments have been COM
pleted during recent months for
workers employed by the Navy.
BY the middle of June, it is re-
ported, more than 500 units will
be finished in the Poinciana sec

Yard. Rents will run from $3.50
per month for UNFINISHED one
