Detroit, Mich.-After unanimous ap-
proval by all General Motors locals,
the new G. NJ contract was signed by
u. A. WA. F. L. officials. The new
contract contains number of distinct
improvements over the old contract
and over the new G. /. o. contract.
The corporation had offered to the
u. A. WA. F. L. the identical con-
tract that was accepted by the G. |. O..
and which was termed by them "the
greatest advance in the history of au-
tomobile unionism," but the u. A. w.
AT. L. representative did not feel
this was the best that could be OBJ
tanned. So they rejected the G, I. O..
contract and continued negotiations to
obtain improvements. They were sue
cessful.
The U.A. WA. F. L. obtained all
of the economic demands the C. l. O.
was able to get such as the increase
in wages equivalent to increasing the
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1940-08-30

In the clause on wage payment
plans the u. A. WA. F. L. contract
provides that the company must figure
its production costs based on normal
operations in determining the hourly
wage scale when a plant is changed
over from a piece-work or other Sin
centive" wage system. This means
that the company cannot take either
the beginning or the end of pro-
duction season as the period it uses
to determine what the production
costs are in a plant that is to be
changed over to hourly rate. The
c. l. o. contract contains no such pro-
lection.

average wage level liz cents per hour
and the vacation with pay provision.
The improvements in the u. A. w.
A. f. L. contract are chiefly in the
grievance procedure, the clause on
wage payment plans, and the provi-
sion governing strikes and stoppages.
In the U. A. WA. F. L. contract the
grievance procedure is shortened and
simplified The time allowed for final
disposition of grievances appealed
from the plant management has been
cut to 10 days. The c. |. O. allowed
Is days. The grievance procedure was
shortened by seven more days by cut
ting out the provision in the pro-
cedure which makes handling of
grievances by the regional director a
separate step. In the U. A. Wa F. L.
contract the regional director may
participate in an appeal case but his
doing so does not involve lengthening
the time taken for settlement of
grievances by full week or more as
is the case in the C. l. O. contract.
Another distinct improvement in the
u. A. WA. F. L. contract is that no
restrictions are placed on the impair
tial umpire. Any type of grievance
may be appealed to the umpire, while
in the CLIO. contract no grievance
involving wages or speedup may be

John Myers, local superintendent,
stated they were having great deal
of trouble with foreign shipments
due to the war and the one to leave
here this week has been delayed
several times because of the uncer-

leaving the western coast of the

effects of the war.
Last week the company started
construction OF a new storage build
ing north of the Great Northern
tracks which will hold 1000 tons Of
vermiculite ready for shipment.
The reason for the building of the
additional storage space is in an
ticipation of a greater volume Of
business. Production will be able
to run on a more steady basis thar
under the old way of operation
when they were tied by orders rath-
er than having free hand on the
production.
