House Approves Bill
To Compensate Bidder
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
The House has passed q bill to
pay the National Heating Co. Of the
District $8,613.93 for losses resulting
from what the concern said was a
typographical error in submitting a
bid for construction of a central
heating plant at Langley Field, Va.
The company bid $4,000 on the
Job, neglecting to include $4,000 for
the price of boiler. The committee
reported the payment of $8,613.93
would compensate the company only
for its actual loss on the contract,
making the total cost to the Gov
eminent $42,51393, about $1,000 less
than the bid of the second lowest
bidder.

fields on their 75-mile tryouts be-
fore they are turned over to the
Army.
This is one way, and the simplest,
to solve the tank construction prob
lem-build a brand-new factory
with brand-new equipment from
the ground up. Any existing factory,
it is almost certain, is in-adapted
for the job. Fortunately the Chrys-
Ter Corp. got its tank order early,
before Dukerque. The pattern of
the tank did not fit into the ma
chinery of any of its existing plants
and there was no occasion at the
time to cause the major disruption
in normal automobile construction
and in employment which a rear
rangement would have involved.
Machines Made to Make Parts.
So the tank was treated as an
entirely new product with no rela-
ton to the automobile. Chrysler
engineers broke down the models
furnished them into their smallest
individual parts. A pattern of every
part was made in wood, by hand.
The mechanical engineers devised
machine to make each part so
precisely that all of them would
fall together on the assembly line.
The sort of plant was planned and
erected which would hold most con-
veniently the new machinery.
The result is that here tanks are
being put out ION the line" The
output is not so fast as would be
that of automobiles with the same
kind OF setup. Tank parts are
slower and more difficult to handle.
Hopes of tanks coming from an as
sembly line at the rate of hundreds
a day, as Chryslers used to roll in
pre-war days, are fantastic, the en-
gineers claim. But only by apply
ing the same technique can there
be any hope Of quantity produc-
ton of what has been essentially
a handmade article.
In the Chrysler procedure, the
tank parts have been strictly stand
ardized. The armor plate comes
from the steel foundry in almost
the precise sizes needed to make
up the body. Many of the regular
automobile workers have been
trained for the new jobs, especially
the difficult armor plate working
jobs. Wherever possible, designs
have been simpIfied.

{. |. 0. Will Demand
S1.Raise, Union Shop
Al General Motors
Six-Point Program Drown
For Presentation at
Contract Negotiations

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, Feb. 5.-The United
Automobile Workers &C. I. o. an
nounced today the union had drawn
I'D six demands, including a union
shop clause and a 81 daily wage in
crease, for submission to General
Motors Corp. in forthcoming wage
negotiations.
The proposals, according to Walter
p. Reuther, director Of the unions
G. M. department, will be acted on
Saturday and Sunday by the G. M.
council, representing 10000 work
ers in 90 corporation plants.
They are:
l.. A wage increase Of 81 . day for
all employees, including provision for
readjustment every three months
based on living costs In major AUTO
motive manufacturing centers.
2 A union shop provision whereby
all employees covered by the agree
ment shall become members OF the
union and remain in good standing
as a condition of employment. New
EMPLOYEES are to become members
within 30 DAYS after date Of employ
ment.
Seniority Right Revisions.
3 Revision of seniority provisions
(which will make for maximum use
of the labor supply in national de-
tense and at the same time protect
seniority rights"
4. Extension of powers OF the I'M
partial umpire to permit him to rule
on and interpret all contract provl-
Sions.
S. The corporation to grant all en-
ploves on the seniority list 500
Defense savings bond IN lieu OF va
cation with pay.
6, Establishment of union plant
defense and anti-sabotage commit
tees in all plants.
Under terms of the unions agree
ment with General Motors, which
expires in April, either party may
reopen negotiations on 60 days
notice.
Wage Increases onset.
Mr.. Reuther said that wage in
creases obtained year ago by the
U. A. VIC. I. o. in corporation
plants and amounting to 10 cents an
hour have been Offset entirely by
rising living costs"
AS for the union shop demand,
Mr.. Reuther said:
THE U. A. VIC. I. o. has demon
strated that it is responsible union
and General Motors has had stable
labor relations because OF this union.
Granting of the union shop also
would make possible for the union
to concentrate on the war effort $50
if the union is given complete union
security, we can devote our energies
to the successful prosecution OF the
war"
No Fear for Majority.
A union spokesman said the pro-
posal for union shop was not predi-
Gated on any fear that the unions
numerical majority in General Mo-
tors plants would be erased by addi-
tional workers employed as result
of the corporations war expansion.
The spokesman said he did not |
doubt that new employees would |
adopt the union in the same proper
ton that present employees have.
The union representative said
that the average current basic wage
rate in various assembly plants in
the country was s1.10 an hour. The
average basic wage rate in principal
manufacturing plants was said by
the union to be 81 .13 an hour.
