§ Mr. CLYNESasked the Secretary for War whether the Manchester firm which is now executing a contract for fireguards has satisfied his Department that the work is being done in accordance with the terms of the Fair Contracts Clause; whether he has received contrary information from a society of wireworkers in the district; and, if he has considered the matter, can he state the result?
§ Mr. HALDANEA representation was received on the 26th instant from the Federal Union of Wireworkers in regard to wages paid upon a contract for fireguards. It has been necessary to ask for more specific information, and as soon as this is received the case shall be fully investigated.
