WHAT WAGES THEY
PAY AFTER OCT. 1st
♦ -
Hiring of Longshoremen Will Be From Pier Says The
Employers Instead of From Hiring Halls As Exists
Now, If Agreement Not Reached Sept. 30th.
(By The Associated Press)
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 24, —Pacific Coast wat
erfront employers announced that * conditions under
which longshoremen will be employees, when the 1934
strike award agreement expires September 30th, are,
that wages will be a dollar an hour straight time, and a
dollar and a half an hour overtime. Eight hours between
8 a.m. and 5 p.m. constitute a day’s work, except Sat
urdays when straight time will be between 8a.m. and
noon. Sundays are recognized as holidays, and will
count as overtime. All hiring will be direct at the piers
until such time as the hiring halls can be established
by agreement. Preference will be given to men enroll
ed now at the hiring halls.
Hiring halls were the chief issue in the strike two
years ago.
* Under the present working conditions, overtime
started after six hours, with straight pay at ninety
cents an hour.
Harry Bridges, in Omaha enroute by plane back
to the coast from Washington, D. C., said the action of
the shippers “makes a lockout of eighteen thousand
longshoremen imminent.
“Shipping interests along the Pacific Coast are de
termined to smash the Longshoremen’s Union and the
labor leaders,” said Bridges, who is head of the long
shoremen on the Pacific Coast.
