BY DOROTHY WILLIAMS

For the first time in the 100

gantuan battle.
It's a battle in which seconds

Minutes lost here could mean a
major disaster in some theater of
war thousands of miles distant,
so important are activities OF
Fort Wayne's quartermaster corps.
Commanding officer of this De-
troit fought battle is Col. Ray M.
Hare, genial, gently spoken, a.
year-old army officer just arrived
here from Washington, d. c.
Colonel Hare's job is to keep
'em rolling"
It's his task to see that automo-
tive equipment and parts for the
Allied Nations pour from the pro-
duction lines of Detroit and coun-
try and reach designated embarka-
ton points. His Fort Wayne desk
is the clearinghouse for all such
orders.

Death Benefit Of Local 443 Is Increased
Rise Is From $500 To $75o Vote Assessment To
 Fight Ruling

Local 443, Bridgeport & New Haven Heavy Hauling Teamsters, this week raised their death benefit from 5000 to $75O with the change effective in the near future. The membership also passed the dollar assessment to raise a fund to fight a recent ruling which makes vic- tims of accidents who sustain a limb injury, ineligible for driving an Over-the-rOad truck.
 A member of the Union sus- tained such an injury prior to the ruling and has since proved to the satisfaction of the State of Con. necticut that he was capable of handling an Over-the-road truck. 443 is making a test case in behalf of this member, contending first that his injury occurred prior to the ruling, and second, that all chauf- feurs who prove they can handle their assignments should be eligible to drive regardless of the condition of their limbs.

They will vote for either Local B-9O, International Brother hood of Electrical Workers. or no union. Business Manager Joseph T. Rourke met this week with his key men who form the organizing commit tee inside both plants, to form. ulate plans which will insure decisive victory for the Union in the secret baIIOting.
 LETTER A LAST RESORT
 The Company, which continually stalled off the election continued m its labor batting role with a let ter, dated March 5, to each of its employees. The letter, signed by B. H. Reeves, vice-president and gen. eral manager, promises, as usual, to meet with each emplOye indi- vidualIy and also raises the pOssi. biIity of violence. Rourke deals with the letter in an adjourning column in this issue.
 The date for the election was agreed upon at meeting held Fri day, March 1S, with Robert R. Ehrlich, board examiner, presiding. ROurke spoke for the employees and Attorney Arthur L. Corbin for the Company.
 CONTRACT UPPERMOST
 Discussion in both plants cen. ters more on the coming contract than on the results of the election, according to the organizing conn mittee. Men now earning bonuses were assured by Rourke that all rights and privileges now held by the employees would be retained.
 "Only the discriminatory use of the bonus by the Company to di- vide you men and wOmen," ROurke stated," will be eliminated by rais. ing the hourly wage rates to Brotherhood levels now enjoyed by our members in similar cable and wire plants in the New England area"
