U.S. MARITIME DISPUTE
EFFORTS TO AVOID STRIKE CASH BONUS SCHEME SUGGESTED (Rec. 7.30 p.m.) T _ WASHINGTON, June 10. Government conciliation agents in the maritime dispute have suggested that seamen should be paid a cash bonus for hours worked over a fixed limit within the present 56-hour week. A Labour Department official explained that such a bonus plan is separate from the question of overtime pay, which would still apply to all hours worked beyond 56. The Seamen’s Union demanded a 44hdur week, and said that a strike was inevitable unless the weekly hours were reduced from 56. Meanwhile the Labour Sub-Commit-tee of the United States House of Representatives has decided to hold hearings on the dispute in an effort to arrive at a Congressional solution before the strike deadline, which is June 15.
