The Board ruled however that the Longshoremen must share in the control of hiring halls with the employees. Two of the issues involved in the strike that tied up ship- ping on the Pacific Cbast, in- cluding Alaska, were more wag- es and shorter hours. Control of hiring halls was another issue invelved. The members of the Presi- dent’s Arbitration Board mak- ing the awards, are the Most Rev. Archbishop Edward J. Hanna, Roman Catholic Pri- mate of the Pacific Coast; O. K. Cushing, outstanding San Francisco attorney, civie lead- er and member of the State Emergency Relief Administra- tion, and Edward F. McGrady, Assistant Secretary of Labor and special emissary of the President during the fifty-day strike. BASIC WAGE ANNOUNCED SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Oct. 13. —The award announced by the President’s Arbitration Board gives |the longshoremen a basic wage of 95 cents an hour, straight time, and $140 an hour for overtime, 6-hour, five day week, to be aver- aged over each four weeks and the privilege of naming the dispatcher in the hiring hall in each port. This last, some authorities sald, gave the members of the Interna- tional Longshoremens’ Association virtual control over hiring halls, absolute control which was the paramount demand of the union men. The wage rulings mean ten cents an hour straight time and 15 cents an hour overtime, over the present wages. President William Green, of the American Federation of Labor, pro- nounced the decision as a great victory for the longshoremen “based on justice and fac - e —— OPEN DERISION IS HURLED AT ADOLF HITLER Demonstrators Protest” Ar- | bitrary Removal of Bish- | ops and Also Arrests MUNICH, Germany, Oct. 13.— President-Chancellor Adoif Hitler was openly derided by a group of demonstrators today protesting to the ‘arbitratary removal of two dissenting Bishops and the arrest of eight churchmen.
