Wage Board Is Urged
To Review Sea Pay in
Face Of Strike Threat
BY the Associofed Press

The threat of a shipping tieup on
all coasts tomorrow built up pres
sure on the Wage Sterilization
Board today to alter its 12-day-o -old
pay cut" decision affecting AFL
sailors.
From within the board and out
side, members were being urged to
review their August z3 ruling deny
ing $4,000 AFL seagoing unionists
wage increases in excess of the $3.50
month granted rival CIO unions
last June Is.
John Hawk, vice president of the
AFL Seafarers International Union.
said in New York yesterday that
from $4,000 to 100000 AFL seamen
on the Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf
Coasts were ready to walk of their
ships tomorrow. He did not set an
hour.
Test for Wage Program.
The issue took on aspects of a
test of the Governments wage
stabilization program because of this
background:
In July the AFL-Sailors Union of
the Pacific negotiated a contract
with the Pacific American Ship
owners Association calling for a
$3.50 monthly increase for able
bodied seamen
Later the AFL-Seafarers Inter-
national Union won s27.5O month
raise from the East and Gulf At
lantic Coast general agents.
Although the War Shipping Ad-
minlstration approved the higher
rates for AFL seamen, the Wage
Board ruled the increase could not
exceed the $17.50 settlement ac-
cepted by the CIO-National Mari
time Union at the climax of the
June strike crisis.
Touched Off New Threat.
The board held that any raise
over $3.50 would be inf1ationary.
That touched off the new strike
threat.
The .CIO union, strong on the
Atlantic Coast, pledged its support.
Members watched eagerly for de-
velopments, since approval of the
