DISAGREEMENT ON
WLB WAGE ORDERS
ROwbOttOm Co. Plans to
Appeal Ruling; Clio Claim
Decision Justified

Claiming that the rate Of pay
being paid by the Rowbottom Ma
chine Co. was far below the stand
ard Of prevailing wages in this area,
the G. I. o. Mine, Mill g. Shelter
Workers Union last night disputed
the allegation attributed to a
spokesman for the company that
the management paid rates to its
employees which were among the
highest in the industry.
Union official John j. Man
kowski, executive board member for
this district, elaborated on the
unions claim by asserting that the
increase to be given the employees
under the recent WLB directive
still was far below the standard Of
the prevailing wage for this area.
Mankowski alleged that the WLB
had stated in its recent findings
that a wage increase Of IT cents
an hour would be allowable in this
instance. The WIB had directed
however that an cent increase be
given with the 8 cents difference
being left open for future negotia-
tons.
The Rowbottom Company has
given notice of its attention to APP
peal the directive to the WLRB
requesting that a further review of
the matter be undertaken. 1t is the
company's assertion that the wide
breach between what the WLB au-
thorized must be paid now and that
which could be allowable is 1ncon-
