A list of contractors was submitted in support of statement
in paragraph (1) of the above letter.
Dispatch books were offered
supporting statement in paragraph (8), showing that Local 324 had
cleared 2,318 laborers at $1.50 and 1,320 laborers at $1.40 per
hour wage between June 1, and September 10, 1947.
Director Johnson asked why there were two rates in this
area.
Mr. Gordon answered there was a contract between the
International Union and Associated General Contractors at $1.40,
providing the contractor did. not have individual contract at $1.50.
Director Johnson asked Mr. Gordon, that in the event the
contre.ct W13.S awarded to an A. G. C. contractor, and if the rEtte had
been determined by the Board to be $1.50, would that contractor
be deprived of the benefit of the A.G.C. contract with the Union
providing for general labor at $1.40.
Mr. Gordon replied that in Contra Costa County he would be
obliged to pay $1.50.
Mr. Carlson, attorney for Local 324, stated in substance
that it was the duty of the Board to determine the prevailing
wage scale in this area, regardless of contractural obligations
between the A.G.C. and International Headquarters.
Director Smitten said that of the nine bids received, seven
were A.G.C. contractors, who had contracts at $1.40.
What would
the taxpayers think if the,Board set the rate at $1.50, when the
evidence showed that labor was being hired in this area at $l.LW.

five of the bidders, and they had stated they would pay the $1.50
rate.
