WATERFRONT LABOR
THE AMERICAN DISPUTE ARBITRATION AWARD (Received Oct. LI, 10 sun.) SAN FRAN CISCO, Oct. 13. President Roosevelt’s Arbitration Board last night awarded the Pacific Coast longshoremen, the central group in last summer’s bitterly-fought 'strike, increased wages and shorter hours, but ruled that they must share control of their hiring halls with their employers. The unconditional control of hiring halls or employment agencies through their hiring halls with the employers, which the longshoremen are sent to jobs was a paramount demand of the union in the weeks of the bloody struggle. Wages of 95 cents an hour, with 140 cents for overtime, and a 30-hour week were granted to the longshoremen. They had asked for a. dollar an hour, and 150 cents for overtime, as well as the 30-hour week.
