Galveston, Texas
February 11, 1953
TO THE MEMBERS:
This morning Mr. Yeager called asking what we were going to do
about the increase in the Longshore wages. We advised him that the payroll
for Saturday, February 14, would be made at the old rates. We advised him
further that the payroll February 21 would be figured at the increased rates.
In regard to retroactive pay dating back to the end of September,
we advised Mr. Yeager that our Attorneys had not as yet sighted the order
doing away with controls. We advised him further that we would proceed
with the retroactive pay as promptly as possible, and it is, therefore,
requested that all stevedores proceed to get in shape to pay the
retroactive pay.
We expect to be advised by our Attorneys within the next few days,
and we assume that we will then advise the stevedores that it is in order
to pay the retroactive. Meantime we think all stevedores should be working
towards getting ready to take care of this. It is felt that a maximum of
four weeks time should be sufficient for all stevedores to clean up the
retroactive pay.
Yours very truly,
J. R. DU4NN, Chairman
Labor Cormittee
