Pay Hike For
Hawaii Longshore
(By Lief Erickson
HONOLULU </P)—Raise the pay
of CIO stevedores 14 cents an
hour. That was the recommenda
tions today of a fact-finding board
for ending Hawaii’s 60-day long
shore strike.
A spokesman for the 2000 steve
dores of the international long
shoremen’s and warehousemen’s
union didn’t go for it. Operators of
the island’s seven stevedoring
firms haven’t said whether they
do or do not.
Neither is bound to accept the
recommendations. The board said
it “must reply on public opinion
to convince the parties, if they are
not inclined to accept the recom
mendations, that it offers a basis
for settlement wrhich under all the
circumstances can be accepted by
them as a service to the commun
l ity.”
The ILWU wants a raise of 32
cents. The present scale is SI.40
' an hour. That would shove the
pay up to where it used to be—10
cents under the Pacific Coast
scale.
Employers at first offered 12
cents. They withdrew the offer
when Gov. Ingram M. Stainback
set up the five-man board.
Late yesterday the board recom
mended:
A 14 cents increase in the basic
hourly wage, with eight cents to
be retroactive to March 1. That
was the wage reopening date un
der the contract.
A vote by the union member
| ship—under supervision of the
Territorial department of labor—
<>n the board's proposal.
Negotiation of other issues “in
I the light of the agreement reached
on the basic rates.” This would in
1 elude dock work when ships are
not in port and outside department
I rates.
Formation of a group “to place
1 labor-mangement relations on a
more friendly and constructive ba
sis.” The board suggested this
could be either an “all public body
or tripartite committee’ represent
ing labor, management and the
public.
Acting governor Oren E. Long
gave both sides until 9 a.m., Fri
day to reply to the board’s recom
mendations.
Fred Low, Jr., ILWU strike
strategy committee chairman, in
vited the board to explain its find
ings to a union meeting at 3 p.m.
tomorrow.
He indicated ILWU rejection
; w’ith these words: "The only hope
I for settlement is submission of the
facts to binding arbitration. Why
didn't the board recommend arbi
tration?”
