AT Work After
Agreement Signed

Representatives of the ingalls,
Shipbuilding Corporation and Lo-
cal 733, International Brother
hood of Electrical Workers, joint
ly signed an agreement last
Thursday night ending a strike
by the electricians which had
kept 1870 men from the shipyard
since March q.
A statement was issued this
week by labor and management
announcing the settlement of the
differences and stating that de-
tails of the agreement will not
be made public.
Main point in the calling OF
the strike. was the inability OF
the union and the shipyard to
reach an agreement on an hourly
scale and a Union shop agree
ment.
The men who were called from
their jobs returned to work or
the first shift Friday.

Mobile Firm For
Hiway Sand Fill

to be used as a base for the i'm
proved approaches to the Esca-
tawpa bridge on Highway SO was
let Tuesday by the state highway
commission to the Mobile Dredg-
ing Company of Mobile in the

The fill will follow the present
roadbed in a general sense. some
time taking a new line but never
more than 200 or 300 feet from
the existing road, he said. The
sand will be pumped into a wide
fill three feet above low water
level and this will be raised an
other three and a half feet by the
state highway crews who will
complete the work, Mr.. Hurst
said. The fill along the present
road will be level with and widen
out the present road bed which
will be raised by the later work
of the highway department, Mr..
Hurst said.
The work will involve about a
mile and a quarter of Highway
SO between Moss Point and Es-
catawpa which is habitually COW
cred with water at every slight
rise above high tide level of the
Escatawpa river and is frequently
impossible.
According to Mr.. Hurst, the
work will start possibly within
30 days. Present plans are for the
highway crews to begin their
part of the work before the COM
pletion of the pumping in of the
sand fill, he said.
