some of the men should have taken the bit in their teeth Neither the corporation nor the workers are yet properly trained in this new method of operation. The company has not yet given proper recognition to the shop steward system. They persist in re- garding the stewards as merely conl- mitteennen, and not as an integral part of the functioning of the plant. They refuse to let the stewards act as intermediates between men with complaints and foremen, and insist on complaints being taken up with the foremen direct. The whole tech- nique of operating on 8 union basis is too new to both the corporation and the men for 1t to be fair to judge it now.
 we have disciplined individuals. In Pontiac two members were sls- pended for a week as result of an unauthorized tieup. The union discipline is improving daily. There have been no recent sitdowns."
 OeMCaVc 1EVUAem
 The problem of union discipline is a delicate one. The truth is that the wildcat sitdowns" have in nearly all cases been staged by the more zealous and enthusiastic members of the union. To punish them by expulsion or suspension would be to cut at the heart of the organiza- ton. No head of so new and raw an organization as the U. A. w. would dare to do 1t on very ex- tensive scale. That would deprive the union of its "spark-plugs" and leave only the mass of members, many of whom are indifferent or actually in arrears of dues.
 The straightening out of this deli- cate situation between now and Aug. 12 may have far-reaching effect not only on the U. A. W. it. self, but on the whole c. l. o. movement, whose most conspicuous success thus far has been placed on trial in the Case of the 200 Sit- downs"
