German Timetable
For Winning Russia
5ef Back a Month
kozis Reported Still
Hoping for Victory by
End Of September
sy the Associated Press.

Bs the Associated Press
BERN, Switzerland, Aug. 9.-Reo
Army resistance has forced the Ger
man high command to revamp 1t,
timetable for the Russian cam
paign, but the Nazis still hope for q
sweeping victory by the end of Sep
tember, information reaching here
from foreign military observers in
Berlin indicated today.
The September goal calls for oc-
eupation of Moscow, Leningrad and
Kiev and an advance to the Cau-
casus Mountains, these observers
reported. Subsequently, the pro-
gram was said to call an advance to
the Urals and establishment of q
defense line there.
Original Plans.
Originally, Adolf Hitler's plans
envisioned capture of Lenlngrad
three weeks after the campaign be-
gan and the fall of Moscow soon
afterward, it was said. BY the end
of August, the Germans and their
Axis allies were to have reached
Astrakhan on the Caspian Sea, 1,7O0
miles southeast of Berlin, the in
formation declared.
"a dispatch from Ankara, Tur-
key. yesterday reported German
diplomats in Iran PERSIA had
predicted the Nazi Armies would
be on Trans Caucasian frontier
by winter.)
Completion of the new schedule,
the information said, would mean:
l. Germany will set up defense
line from Lake Ladoga in the north
to the Volga River, east of Moscow;
thence south on the west bank of
that river to Astrakhan.
3 Turkey will be asked in October
for free passage of German troops
to be sent to battle the British in
the Near East.
3. An attack on Siberia by Japan
II the United States intervenes ac-
lively in the war.
4. Luftwaffe destruction of Rus
sian industrial centers east Of
Moscow.
5. Increased pressure on France,
Spain and Portugal for occupation
of their Atlantic and African bases
to tighten a counter blockade of
England.
Fur Coats Collected.
One step toward overcoming diff
culties Napoleon faced in his futile
Russian campaign already has been
taken by the Germans, it was said.
They were reported to have collected
100000 fur coats to clothe Nazi
soldiers during the winter.
Success against the Russians and
the British in the Near East, the
sources said, would call for an Axis
march in the spring on India, termed
by Napoleon the keystone of the
British Empire This march would
coincide with Japanese drives from
Indo-China against Burma and
Malaga.
Success against the Russians alone
and failure to whip the British in
the Near East would mean German
peace offers to Great Britain, the
advices added, but rejection might
bring about the long-awaited Nazl
attempt at invasion Of the United
Kingdom.

French Ex-Leaders Seen
Facing Fortress Cells
By the Associated Press


VICHY, Unoccupied France. Oct.
4.-The newspapers of German-oc-
cupied Paris freely predicted today
that the former French leaders ac-
cused of war guilt" would be i'm
prisoned in a fortress by Marshall
Petain on recommendation of the
Council of Political Justice, which
held its first informal meeting today.
This would be the most severe
penalty permitted under the Seventh
Constitutional Act under which the
defendants are to be dealt with. The
act provides that the chief OF state
may take direct action against pres
ent and former government leaders
whom he considers to have betrayed
their duties in Office.
The press of the occupied zone
also predicted that the former lead
ers would not get a regular trial by
the Riom Supreme Court before a
peace is signed with Germany
Those whom the Paris press pre-
dicted would be put behind fortress
walls include the following leaders
of pre-armistice France: Gen. Maui
rice Gustave Gamelin. former
Premiers Leon Blum. Edouard Da-
Ladder and Paul Reynaud, former
Minister of Interior and Colonies
Georges Mandel, former Air Minister
Guy La Chambre and former Ma
ton Defense Administrator Pierre
Jacomet.
The predictions were made as the
French inner cabinet met to hear
the findings of the Riom court Mar

Fire Prevention
Week Start Brinqs
Plea From Chief
Porter Suggests Ways
Public Con Cooperate
To Prevent BIuzes

Needing a presidential proclama-
ton, the District today joins the
States in observing Fire Preven-
ton Week"-a period during which
President Roosevelt hopes the Ma
ton will be constantly alert to the
danger of carelessly started blazes.
District Fire Department officials
emphasized that observance of the
week this year is more important
than ever because fire is consum-
ing dollars vital to the defense pro-
gram"
Fire Chief Stephen T. Porter, in
urging the public to support the
proclamation, warned that accumu-
lated trash and rubbish were re-
sponsible for many fires. He urged
that rags stained with paint and
oils be disposed of to lessen, the
threat of fires due to spontaneous
combustion.
Chief Porter reminded that there
are two easily available means of
calling the Fire Department in case
of fire, namely the telephone and
the fire alarm box, but that neither
is of any avail If the individual fails
to do his part. Giving fire protec-
ton advice, Chief Porter said:
If fire-alarm box is to be used
to call the fire department. its To-
cation should be studied and known
in advance. Many instances have
occurred of persons running two
or three blocks to strike fire. alarm
box when one was available much
nearer. Also. in advance. the way
to sound the box should be learned
If these few small things are
kept in mind much of the loss which
occurs annually in the District from
uncontrolled fires would be avoided

SET ELECTION
AT MASTER
JANUARY IS

An NLRB election has been set
for January Is, Wednesday, for
the 800 employees Of the Master
Electric Company. The election
follows a petition filed by UE
Local 754.
Decision on the date of the
election was reached at a meet
ing between NLRB officials,
representatives of manage
ment, and representatives of
the union, held on December
Is.
Leaders in the union at Master,
confident that the UE will ring up
a smashing victory in this i'm
porta1-> shop, continued ~organiza-
ton efforts this week. Meanwhile,
work on drafting a contract to
submit to management after Ger
LITIGATION of the UE, proceeded.
Salaried employees, super
visory employees, and group
leaders were excluded from
the vote i'm the agreement
reached with the Company.
Employees will be paid for
voting time, and voting will
take place in five polling places
in various plant buildings.
Provisions of the proposed
Master contract include stream
lined grievance procedure for
continuous, democratic represen-
tation, exclusive recognition of
the UE, equal distribution of ov-
ertime work, job return and SEN
protection for drafted en-
ployees, compensation during
military service, real job security
through seniority, and others.

This daily collective bargain
ing has served rs the corner
stone for harmonious relations
between employees and man
agement. A new respect for
the mutual responsibilities of
management and employee has
been secured. Through this
procedure, in plant after Day

for his complaint or grievance
This is the meaning of COLLEC-
TIVE bargaining.
To see how this system works
in UE shops, let LIS suppose an
employee has a GRIEVANCE.
1t may be that the rate on his
job has been arbitrarily cut, OF
the operation speeded up; it
may be that the foreman has
been riding him, that the en-
loyee feels an increase In his
wage is due him, or that he
wants an end to f~avOritism In
his department, or q number
Of other things.
The aggrieved employee raises
his grievance through the union
, 1941-01-03

In every department, all employees
have a steward or a committee
man to represent them. The EN-
ployee brings his grievance to this
steward, either in a written form
or verbally. From that time ON,
if he has a just complaint, he is
represented in his grievance by
the union. The entire union sup
ports his grievance, until a proper
settlement is won, even if the
question has to go to top nan
agement.
Throughout the grievance
procedure, the greatest democ-
racy is exercised. Each steward
or committeeman is ELECTED
by the people in his depart
ment alone. The committee
which meets with management
Is elected by all in the shop.

With the establishment of a

Iron under UE Local 8O6 is moving

A company = independent
union at the plant is losing
its position, as it becomes

that it il a tool of the man

union won its election in 1887

Air Temp Votes UE IN Election
Go
SMASH WIN
1913 TO 81

A THREE-TO-O ONE win at Chrys-
Ter Air-Temp last week, gave UE
Local 753 its fourth straight NLRB
election victory in three months.
Voting YES for the UE were 1873
employees, with 81 NO, and no
spoiled, challenged or blank bal
lots.
Immediately following the
election, a vacation bonus of
$40 similar to that provided
in CLIO contracts at Chrysler
automobile plants, was an
nounced by management. ALI
employees with more than one
years seniority received the
bonus.
A company union attack on the
UE-CIO was carried out by the
"DIU," the same organization that
fought the UE at Frigidaire. The
election results were taken to
mean a complete reputation of the
DIU by the workers. The Com
pany union was not on the ballot,
because of its weakness, and con-
tented itself with sideline sniping
at the UE.
The UE victory was secured,
despite an attempt by man
agement to forestall unionism
by a last minute &c wage in
crease.
Eligible to vote in the election
were 275 employees. Since the
eligibility list was determined, the
force in the plant has been greatly
enlarged.
Credit for the Air Temp
victory, the tenth for the UE
in Dayton in 1910, goes to
union leaders including Robert
Galligan, Charles Wollenhaupt,
Francis Tschudi, and members
of the Stewards Council. Or
ganization was assisted by
