resentatives from other veterans
and civic organizations in ar
ranging a homecoming celebra-
ton in honor of veterans of World
War II was authorized at the
meeting of the Jackson County
Post of the American Legion last
Wednesday night. Speakers
pointed out that community and
business leaders had expressed

aIl the people a chance to demon
strate their appreciation OF the
great job the fighting men had
done.

memorial that would be lasting
and useful. and opposed any plan
that would be temporary Oh of
no public benefit

success of the carnival sponsored

son, and the fact that the man
agement Of the show was exhibits
ing for the first time after leaving

On Pay Hike
Discussion On
le-Cent Issue To
Commune Sunday

Negotiations between the Metal
Trades Council and ingalls, Ship
building Corporation relative to
an 18-cent raise in all classhf-
cations which has been authorized
by federal agencies became dead
locked Thursday with the unions
demanding the raise and retroac-
tive pay and the company reply
ing that because of the nature
of several fixed price contracts
it could not grant the demand
without being forced to institute
the 40-hour week.
The l8-cents-an-hour raise was
authorized by two government
agencies, including the Gulf
Shipbuilding Sterilization Com
mission, following months of ne
g~otiation on the issue.
II was understood that the To-
cal Metal Trades Council de-
manded that the raise be granted
by ingalls, and made retroactive
since December 4 on all work done
for the Navy and Maritime Com
mission, and since March 4 on the
ships being built for the Brazil
ian Government. The council
made no direct statement of its
position pending further negotia-
tions with the company which
are scheduled to be resumed Sun
day at 10 a. m.
The company's position was
outlined in the following state
ment delivered late Thursday BIZ
Monro B. Lanier, president, fol-
lowing the meeting with union
officials:
Statement
"The Ingalls, Shipbuilding Com
pany has pointed out to the
Union today that because of the
nature of several fixed price con-
tracts it could not grant the de-
mand for an 18c increase and
thereby incur heavy non-reim-
bursable costs. 1t was made very
clear that if the Union insisted
upon this Increase, notwithstand-
ing the impact of such a cost to
the company, the only alternative
course in order to continued with
the work on these contracts would
be to change the work-week inn
mediately to 40 hours. Moreover.
it was shown that the Pascal
goula ingalls, yard was the only
yard in the country which has
continued since VI day on a full
forty-eight hour work-week. 1t
is the preference of the company
to continue with the 48 hour
schedule, but it would be forced
to make the change if the Union
demands were granted. 1t was
demonstrated that the employees
would enjoy a greater take-home
pay under the present arrange
ment of a 48 hour week on tFfe
present wage scales than would
be their take-home pay on a 40
hour week with the proposed IN
crease of 18c per hour.
The Union has replied today
that they prefer to press their
demands for the l8c increase re-
gard1ess OF the consequences. -
The Union mas also made GER
tain demands, in connection with
the effective date of these in
creases, which ~would necessitate

TRADES COUNCIL
NOTES

a sharp discussion arose III the
Trades and Labor Council over the
administration of the organization for
rehabilitation OF crippled children. The
debate was precipitated by the report
OF Mr.. Ripper, who stated that this or
ganization is putting on a drive for
funds and that a meeting will be held
Wednesday, March Is. 1916. There
was an implication uttered that the
medical association has its fingers in
this group and might be trying to domi-
nate it. At any rate, Secretary Waters
was instructed to write a letter to the
organization. expressing its opposition
to any change in the operation or any
shifting OF the control to any outside
association or political division. Mr..
Ripper stated in his report that Miss
Schrupp. the nurse Of the crippled chill
dren's organization, is leaving Butte
to 90 to Billings. He also stated that
follow-up cases Of children are not ade-
quately being taken care Of.
A nice report was made on the work
being done by the veterans advisory
council. 1t was said that this adj
visory council is making strenuous
efforts to smooth out many Of the
wrinkles facing the veterans in their
efforts to get jobs and in their return
to civil life.
Some letters were received from the
Office of Price Administration scold-
ing unions and others for not volun-
tarly giving their services as checkers
in price violations. l.. NJ. A. Wass,
district director, stated in his letter the
following: There has been much
criticism OF organized labor because it
has not furnished more volunteers for
price checking to aid the local boards.
This is a serious matter. Recognizing
this difficulty Of volunteers, you are
asked to have each member of each
local in your state contact a stated
number of union labor auxiliary women
and ask them to aid the volunteers.
You will be surprised to know that most
volunteers come from clerks in stores
and from colleges. Is organized labor
going to do less than these groups to
protect their W pocketbooks? 1t is
up TO labor TO furnish more volunteers.
All the volunteers have to do is to
check the prices and turn the lists in
to the boards"
