2. Ten hours ON a five-day
week basis.
;. An extra shift, based on
an eight hour day, for extra

Dayton Scale employees are
carrying out a program to i'm
prove substandard conditions at
their shop, and further the CLIO
program to help decrease the un-
employed.
The Local 8O6 Steward Council
has approved the Dayton Scale
units proposal for an extra shift
based on an eight-hour day, in
preference to overtime. The Stew
ard Council praised this action as
a step toward the union goal Of
shorter hours and greater pay.

An answer
to 48-hour week
plea by Sloan
BY Roscoe Miller,
Vice PreSident. Local SOL

Vice. president, Local SO1
ONE ANSWER to the argument of
Alfred P. Sloan, GIN President
for a forty-eight hour week, can
be found in the AFL's Monthly
Survey of Business" which shows
that in recent times the work week
has steadily decreased while pro-
duction has steadily increased.
I'm other words, labor has
already been sacrificing ON its
total annual wage because of
proportionately reduced work.
And now Alfred Sloan is ask
ing us to sacrifice still further
by giving up the forty-hour
week, for which labor has so
long fought! And all while
this necessity for sacrifice could
be easily averted by giving
some of the work necessary for
increased production to the un-
employed, and reducing speed
up!
American labor will be found
willing, by capital and the govern
ment, to cooperate fully, If and
when measures are taken to take
the millions of Unemployed off
the streets and give them work so
they may live decently, and so
that production may be gotten out
without demands for UN-NECES-
SARY sacrifices.
This might not serve GIN
profits as readily as speed-up
and frightening the work
week, but it would serve
the unemployed, the working
people, democracy and u
Country.

British Claim UndeYea Graft VIII ProwI on Am-

 GETS INFORMATION
German Authorities Assert Report Is Clumsy A.
 tempt, Propaganda
(By Associated Press)

Hitler will send mot only Ger man U-boats but German battle cruisers" across the Atlantic to prowl in American waters, Is the declaration made in London.
 British Prime Minister Churchill said today that Nazi overseas raid- CTS have already sunk some of our Independently routed ships not sailing under a convoy"
 This statement was followed by information received by the United States Government that at least orc long range Nazi U-boat was. heading across the Atlantic to prey on shipping off the American coast. Scoffed at In Berlin
 Authorized quarters in Berlin were quick to scoff at the U-boat report. declaring 1t "putup job by American war inciters and clumsy propaganda. We are not so naive as to attack the United States with U-boats."
 Prime Minister Churchill, in ex- tending his remarks, said raiders have sunk ships as far west as the 42nd meridian, about l.50O miles east of New York.
 The Pan American neutrality zone extends 300 miles off the At lantic Coast but the neutrality zone is not recognized by belligerent powers.
 Washington Reports Washington reports, 1t is said. claim that one German submarine is enroute to the coastal waters of the United States, perhaps a fore runner of others such as assailed American ships during the last World War.
 Despite the German denial that U-boat has been sent or is on the way to operate off the Atlan- tic Coast, Washington reflects no little concern.
 Intercepted Message
 One report said the information came from an intercepted message sent by at least one German sub- marine, probably 1.50O-ton under seas raider with a range of about 10000 miles without refueling.
 Another report says the report comes to the Government from of- ficial secret source. while Senator Burton K. Wheeler of Montana. says the report came direct to Great Britain's Ambassador, Lord Halifax.

NEW YORK, March IS. = The Help Wanted" signs will be out on the employment gates of scores of new war industry factories des- tined for completion in the United States in the next l2 months.
 Payrolls have been climbing sharply in aircraft, shipbuilding machine tool, steel and other in dustries holding the bulk of the SIS ,0OO, 100000 in arms contracts for home and British defenses.
 But the big climb in jobs as re- suit of Uncle Sam's mighty arma- ment program seems to be ahead particularly in the final half oi this year.
 May End Unemployment
 Construction engineers through the winter have been rushing work on numerous projects for expansion of aircraft shipbuild- ing, munitions and miscellaneous machine industries. When they are ready for operation, hundreds of thousands of workers must be em- ployed to man the machines and start the flow of material to the growing fighting forces.
 Through this re-armament eff fort, some analysts figure, the United States finally may be able to liquidate its unemployment Protecting the trends, some esti- mate the jobless would be largely absorbed by the middle of next year, when defense output is ex- pected to attain it's peak under the present program.
 Some residue of unemployed may remain, even at the height of activity in war industry, it was conceded. However, that was true even in the flush times of the first postwar decade.
 Agree on Labor Gains
 Calculations as to jobless totals differ. Estimates at the close ot last year ranged from 5.000,0OC to. around 100000 in some quar- ters. The figures agree, however in showing steady decline irl

WASHINGTON-In the public mind Americas National Defense Problem No. 1 is production of airplanes. Actually, however, it isn't.
 War Department chiefs haven't been advertising it, but their great est wory is gunpower. You can't fight war without powder. And up until recently the annual powd- CT production of all U. s. factories was only 100000 pounds, which would last us a few short weeks in wartime.
 In comparison, the United States produced 5OO,0O0,000 pounds of powder at the end of the last war, and had partially built factories which would have produced another 5oO,0O0,0OO pounds a few months after the ArmiStice.
 But in 1919-20 these factories were torn down or converted, by companies worried lest the Gov ernment get into munitions manu- facture and compete with their pri- yate business.
 Twenty years have passed. Today, with the country facing the most urgent rearmament race in history, private companies still are worried over government operation-especi- ally of nitrate plants
 It happens that nitrate is the key to gunpowder production. Man ufacture of powder is a simple and speedy process. But it is made from explosive nitrate, and nitrate pro- duction is far more difficult.

unemployment since the United States tossed its gigantic indus trial resources into the arms race.
 Employment, as figured by the National Indua1rial Conference Board, a private research organ ization supported mainly by cor porations, increased nearly 2,000,- GOO last year, counting additions to the labor force.
 Skilled workers already have gone to a premium in some industries. Overtime is being paid in many plants to stretch the working force over longer productive period. Thousands of young workers are being trained at defense industry centers to step in line for semi skilled and skilled tasks when the work whistles sound at factories now building.

SOURCE OF INITIATES

There are two kinds of nitrateS, natural and synthetic. Major source of the natural is Chile. But it has two big drawbacks: CD the des- perate shipping shortage; CD the products inferiority to synthetic nitrate for powder purposes, al- though good enough for fertilizer Use or synthetic nitrate for ex- plosiyes is far more efficient, less expensive and militarily more de- Sirable.
 In the United States there are only two big producers of sym thetic explosive nitrate = Allied Chemical and Dye Corporation. at its giant Hopewell, Va. plant; and duPont.
 When Defense Commission chiefs decided to build new powder plants, they also had to provide an ade- quate supply of nitrate. And right there they ran ehead-on into a

Only perleced Machine In World, in U. S. Gives
 Tides for All Sections
By JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, March 18--I be- long to the school of the UNI mechanically minded. Time was when I could clean spark plug on an old Model-T. If have to, can get another ribbon into this typewriter, but, mechanically, those are about my limits. Besides, I was born a landlubber. My knowledge of the sea starts and stops with ferry-boat rides across San Francisco Bay and few Sun- day afternoon putt-putts around Long Island Sound.
 This isn't worth mentioning, except that it undoubtedly ex- plains why stood bug-eyed the other afternoon before machine in the Coast and Geodetic Survey offices and watched L. P. Disney turning crank, glancing at dials, and as simply as that copying down the figures on the high and low tides at New London, Conn.,, in March, 1943.
 If tides just came and went, all around the oceans just the same every day in every harbor, it would be no trick at all. But they don't
 Tides are caused by the gravita- tional pull of the sun and the moon. The sun and the moon change their relationship there fore the tides change. That isn't all Tides are different in differ ent harbors. The tide in a round, deep harbor with narrow mouth is entirely different from that in long narrow, wide-mouther har- bor, bottomed with comparative ly shallow shelf.
