was never repealed.
The Americans even where observed a
scarcity of men for onerous work, wom

HOG ISLAND STRIKE STILL ON

1000 Locomotive Engineers and
250 Cement Workers Out
A thousand locomotive engineer!- and
leading crane operators at Hog Island
were still out tndav, striking for an In
crease In wages from eighty cents an I
hour to $1.5. About 260 cement work
ers also struck, contending their fore- I
man had been unjustly supplanted
There has been some talk among other
emploves of the yard of a walkout In
s.vmpathy with the engineers, especially
among motortruck drivers, who were
called upon to haul nbout the yard ma
terial that had heen carried by the loco
motives. There Is further unrest among
these truck drivers becnuse of their wage
scale, fifty-four cents an hour, which
nets them $33 7G for n forty-four hour
week. This, they sa, is Inadequate.
The strike Is the lesult of reduced
pay checks caused by the elimination of
overtime nnd Sunday work at Xhe jard
Rlnco tile armistice was signell The
men now want $1.23 an hour to make
up the difference between what they
made from overtime and their present
fort -four-hour week pa.
