Orxanized In Recent Months.


Recent months have witnessed the
successful organization of Lynch
and Gary. In fact. it was said that
the unionizing operations in the
latter had toppled the last strong
hold of company unionism and that
the membership at the two gave the
union 95 per cent Of the $4,000 cap
tive miners of the country. The
company comedies nothing here, and
SAYS the same applies to Lynch. so
the case of the latter will have to
rest there, with the two opposing
viewpoints thus briefly presented.
Being on the ground, it is possible
to move into detail with regard to
Gary.
First of all. however. it should be
said that this campaign of the
U. M. w. has one aspect which
shapes up more Importantly to the
union than the mere enrolment OF
the captive miners who remain out
side of the fold. and it is one which
seemingly has been subordinated in
the discussion surrounding the mine
troubles in the past few weeks.
Generally, the organizing drive has
been looked on as the entering
wedge for a union shop in steel and
shipbuilding.
There Is this additional point to
be considered: Union sources here
point out that subsequent to the
union shop agreement negotiated
with commercial mines IN the Ap-

Ark Royal Sunk by Submarine;
Goes Down While Being lowed
After Attack in Mediterranean
Many Of Crew Taken
Off,; Loss Said to
Be Not Heavy
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Nov. 14.-The s.
year-old, Sl6,000,000 aircraft
carrier Ark Royal was torpedoed
late yesterday east of Gibraltar
probably by an Italian Subma-
rine, and sank early today de-
spite a desperate effort to bring
the listing giant safely to port.
She carried down with her an
undisclosed number of her crew of
about 1000 men who remained
aboard in the struggle to save the
ship.
"A very large number of the
ships company was taken of" the
Admiralty said. anG indications
were that personnel IoSSeS were for
tunately not heavy" The Ark Royal
was the third and newest of Britain S
aircraft carriers to be sunk

announcement and word in authori-
tative quarters was that the Ark
Royal was not in action when she
was torpedoed and that she was en-
route to Gibraltar.
The strong suggestion was that
an Italian submarine was the victor,
although there Was no positive
Identification.
Many of the company remained
aboard after the hit or hits and
helped to keep the AIRY Royal afloat,
in tow. during the hours OF darkness
as she listed further and further.
Many worked to the very end She
finally rolled under the sea short
of Gibraltar and safety.
The loss was belated fulfiliment
of many a German claim. since the
beginning of the war, that the
carrier had been sunk.
May Have Been in Mediterranean.
Only in an obituary" of the Ark
ROYAL did the Admiralty indicate
that she might have been sunk in
the Mediterranean and this it did
by giving the Mediterranean as the
last theater of her operations.
In this case. the submarine at
tacker might we'll have been Italian.
The communique identified it only
as a 'U-boat" which, while origi-
nallv a German designation. might
apply also to an italian submarine.
The vessel was under the COM
mand Of Capt. L. E. H. Maund. but
whether the commander was among
the casualties was not made public.
Capt. Maund's wife in London
said, so far have had no news as
to whether my husband is safe 1
am getting in touch with the Ad-
miraltv. but I do not think they
have any further information.
Greatest Loss Since Hood.
Loss of the Ark Royal was the
greatest single blow suffered BY the
British Navy since the avenged sink
ing of the battle cruiser Hood by
the German battleShip Bismarck
between Greenland and Iceland last
May "a.
The loss of the ship left the
British. however, with more aircraft
carriers than they had at the start
of the conflict-seven in commits

naval manual, James Fighting

LOS ANGELES. Nov. "A vio-
lent earthquake. the most severe in
eight years. toppled bricks and cor
nices from buildings in suburban Los
Angeles. sent guests fleeing from one
damaged hotel. split $1,000 gallon
oil tank and damaged gas and power
lines today
Guests fed the 30-room two-story
Hotel Torrance in suburban Tor
rance as the temblor showered bricks
into the street. Fire inspectors con-
demned the buildings and ordered
the guests to find lodgings else
where. They said few other build
ings would be condemned and or
dered torn down
The quake occurred at y 40 am.
t3:42 m. E. S. t. and lasted from
a few seconds TO l8 or 20 in Tor
rance. Gardena and Long Beach, the
hardest hit areas
Two small machine shops tooling
instruments for aircraft and other
Southern California defense indus
tries were so badly damaged that
Torrance fremen said it might be
several days before work could be
resumed
One wall of the Torrance Theater
collapsed. but all patrons and en-
ployeS had left.
American Legion members were
called out TO prevent the curious
from venturing too close to damaged
buildings.
Heavy fog badly hampered inves-
tieators and slowed traffic to few
miles an hour.
Men. women and children huddled
in automobiles for warmth as they
hesitated to return to their homes
until they felt it would be safe
Another slight shock was felt in
Torrance at 1:35 m
Tower ToppIed.
In Gardena, the town OF the
Justice Court Building was knocked
off and thrown through the roof of
a nearby building. The Bank Of
America branch and half a dozen
stores were damaged and stocks of
goods were strewn on floors.
The temblor was the third in Los
Angeles County in five months and
the worst since 1888 quake killed
130 persons.
The quake opened a thin crack in

House Expected 10 AcI
To Curb Strikes in
Defense Industries
Passage Of Neutrality
Revision Clears Way
For Labor Bill Drive

House rOte on neutrality reri-
sion. Page Ala: tert OF the Pres
ident'S letter on PAGE Ais.
Emboldened by determined labor
statement from President Roosevelt,
the House today was expected to
open a drive for some sort OF emer-
gency-time strike control, now that
passage of the Neutrality Act repeal
resolution late yesterday. by vote
of 2l2 to 1874. clears the House calen-
dar for other major business
The repeal resolution, arming
American ships and removing all
statutory inhibitions against sending
American vessels anywhere their
owners want them to go. needed only
the signature OF Vice President Wal
lace this morning before being sent
to the White House for final presi-
dental approval. Few sections of the
act remain in force.
The House Banking Committee
scheduled meeting soon to consider
changes in the price-control bill.
next major business on the calendar.
The Rules Committee was to meet
today, but postponed its session.
1t is believed Rules Committee
members. who include Representa-
tive Cox of Georgia and Representa-
tive Smith Of Virginia. two Demo-
Gratis concerned about strikes in de-
fense industries. might try to at
tach a labor measure to the price
bill.
This Government proposes to see
this thing through" President
Roosevelt said of dealing with the
strike problem in special letter to
the House yesterday urging approval
of the neutrality repeal.
Vote Follows Presidents Plea.
Approval OF the Senate neutrality
amendment by House margin OF
l8 votes at the end of dramatic
session late yesterday was victory
for President Roosevelts foreign
policy, but it came only after per-
sonal appeal from the White House
and strenuous efforts by House
leaders to stem tide of Democratic
feeling that the administration
should adopt sterner attitude to-
ward defense strikes,
President Roosevelt told a press
conference inquirer today that he
did not consider the close vote any
indication of disunity in America.
How valuable" reporter asked,
lis revision OF the Neutrality Act to
our efforts to defeat the AXis?'
Mr.. Roosevelt said it was of very
great value from the operational
point of view, but suggested that his
letter on the subject yesterday sup
piled all the necessary additional
comment.

Union will cooperate to see that
employees in the pool groups with
greater seniority, will be given
the opportunity to qualify for
higher skilled jobs as vacancies
occur.
All Union Committeeman will be
given a book containing the code
number, definition, and rate for
all classifications under his iuris-
diction. Also, a chart showing
how employees can displace other
employees, in case of a reduc-
ton of force. It is clearly under
stood, that no employee should be
laid off, while employees with less
seniority, are working on a job
they can do, in their division.
E. J. Kraft, Chairman of the
Shop Committee, stated: "In 1887
when the Union did not have bar
gaining rights, seniority was by
departments. When the lay-off of
'38 took place, your Union was
confronted with problems of large
reductions in wages, through
transfers from higher classed jobs
to lower classed jobs. At the
same time, in some departments,
employees with 10 years seniority
were laid off, while 2 year m
ployees working in depart
ments on similar classed jobs.
Your committee feels that Divis-
ion Seniority will eliminate this
practice"
The Delco Shop Committee
which negotiated the Local Agree
ment consisted of E. J. Kraft,
Chairman, Ermel Burns, Harlan
Webb, Mary Hartman, Fred Lins,
James Jacobs, and Charles Dills,

IF YOU WANT to get ahead fast, to serve your country.
i to build yourself a good paying future here's the OPP
portunity you've been waiting for.
The u. s. Navy may train you to become an expert IN
any one of nearly SO skilled fields. Each month, over 5000
new men will be sent to a Navy Service School, where you
can learn to be a Diesel engine operator, machinist, avia-
ton mechanic, aerial photographer, radio operator, or
whatever specialized work you're best fitted for. This first
years training which you get is worth at least $500.
The Navy foots the entire bill. You earn while you learn.
In fact, it is possible for an enlisted man to earn up to $126
per month-withk keep.
You'll have plenty of opportunity for advancement in
position and pay-and you'll hare fun uhHe you learn!
You'll come out of the Navy fully prepared to take on a
good job in private industry. And if you want to stay in
the Service, you can go right to the top -. and retire at the
end of 20 years or 80 years with a liberal monthly income.
You can choose now between the regulars or the re-
serves. Both offer equal opportunities for advancement.
