At a meeting held Friday after
noon May 12th. the LongahoranMm’a
Union decided upon a definite wa*«
scale to obtain along the Nome
water front. The committee repre
renting the longshoremen Inter
viewed representatives of lb- Mgh-j
terage Company and proportional
wero made and counter pi'«po»llli*nH |
offered by both oraartUntlon*. i
The Lighterage Company offered
$1.00 per hour for spring work^ a nd J
$1.50 per hour for summer work. .
Thia offer was refu-ed by the long- j
shoremen who stated thul they
would reduce their wage scale In j
the same proportion a* the reduc-j
tion in lighterage rates, but ns j
there will be no appreciable reduc
tion in light-rage rates the company (
naturally refused this basis of
agreement. Last year the wage
scale was $1.50 per hour for spring
work and $2.00 per hour for sum
mer work.
The Longshoremen then submit
ted another proposition; they agre
ed to a spring scale of $1.25 per
hour and a summer scale of $1.75
per hour. The Company countered
with an offer of a straight scale of
$1.60 per hour for both spring and
summer work. The longshoremen
realized that there would be very
little spring work and consequently
refused to consider the offer.
After further consideration tbe
Lighterage Company agreed to the
sca’e a*: fixed by the Union and the
rate of $1.25 for spring work and
$1.75 per hour for summer work
will prevail.
As far as has b-en ascertained the
Lighterage Company will reduce
lighterage rates 8n hay. grain,
heavy machinery, case oil and per
haps coal. Merchandise. remains
unaffected.
In making their initial proposi
tion the longshoremen felt that as
long as they were requested to re
duct their wages the Lighteragte
company should likewise reduce its
charges on commodities used by the
workingmen and thereby maintain
the equilibrium between capital and
They wore willing and anxious to
| iiidnro their wa«an In the nine pro
portion mm the charges of lightering
were reduced.
