The Independent Union Execu- tive Committee has jointly con- ferred with highest officials of the local Welfare Drive and has fully endorsed the program of ac- tivity AS in the past, many rep resentatives of the Independent Union are occupying prominent roles in the handling of the drive to fulfill local needs and also to fulfill National War Relief Agen- cieS.
 Electric Boat Company workers have always gone over the top in all welfare drives through the help of the Independent Union and 1t is expected that the present drive will meet with similar suc- cess.

Special Assessment
 Procedure Of C.I.O.

Under the Bylaws of the CIO Industrial Union of Marine and Shipbuilding Workers of Ameri- ca, of which no copies were avail able in Groton until the Independ- ent Union forced their introduction into evidence at the Labor Board hearing, all members are subject to special assessments. They have no voice at all on whether or not they shall pay them because the general Executive Board, consist ing of about 12 or more of their of- ficers and professional organizers has the power to levy assessments at their discretion.
 If they spend a hundred thou sand dollars in an election cam- paign at a shipyard, they have the power to make special assessments to get this money back at the ship yard where it was spent. As usual when you pay nothing down the final cost comes very high and you never get through paying.
 In the Independent Union the Bylaws provide that assessments can be made only after notice to the members by a majority vote of the members at special meet ing for this purpose. There never has been single assessment by the Groton Shipbuilders Union since the Union has been in ex- istence.

New SMEU Welder
 Representative

Under the new revised proceed ure of the Bylaws of the Groton Shipbuilders Independent Union the election committee acting with President Harold Cruise, has brought about the appointment of David Telage as the official Inde- pendent Union representative for welders on the first shift.
 The new representative can be found near the croaker any noon hour wearing the. SMEU represen- tative button. All welders are pledged fullest cooperation by rep resentative Telage. He Is author ized to and will take up any and all grievances with the foreman in the department. Any griev- ances not promptly strengthened out in this way will be referred to President Harold Cruise and other members of the Executive Committee.
 The Independent Union has all ways tried to overcome the special difficulties facing the welders, but unfortunately the lack of compe- tent union representatives in this department has not produced needed results as quickly as de- Sirable.
 If the welders will get together with Dave TeLage and give him 8 fair trial they will get results.

10. Promises Make Strikes

Last week more than hundred thousand work CTS were on strike in such warvita industries rub Der and tank manufacturing, where ClO unions rep resented workers Millions in wages were lost But even more important is the effect vital war produc tion and on the morale of armed forces You know how the armed forces the battle fronts feel about strikes.
 What caused the strikes? There may be a few saboteurs and comintern communists who have in ltrated into our defense plants either workers as CIO union representatives. But it is most doubt full if this alone is the explanation
 There are two self-evident real reasons. Con- elusive proof is given by the current CIO campaign to wreck ruin and destroy the independence and the Independent Union of the workers in this plant.
 First of all in order to win support they promise gullble and dissatisfied workers anything and every thing which they know very we'll they cannot deliver Then if they win an election they stand thefSorig nal platform which includes, but does not emphasize while the campaign is on, demand for Union or closed-shop. They start to collect high dues. The Executive Board has the power to levy special ments to recoup the thousands of dolars which have been spent in the campaign by special assessments in addition to the dues; workers begin to pay plenty and get nothing. They have jumped from the frying pan into the fire and ready to do anything to save themselves
 The second big reason is the incompetent, selfish and ignorant leadership. What you expect from leaders who call sailors 1850 month punks"? Or who ignore pleas to return to work made by Marine returning from Guadacana? What can you expect from leaders who frame up conspiracy to hold up election and endanger holidays and vacations of ten thousand workers the fake that three people fired for Union activities?
 To those who look ahead it is obvious that should the CIO win the election and follow their usual meth ods there will be plenty of labor trouble and grief right here in this plant.

'tion rights, a motion was filed with the National Labor Relations Board in Washington to suspend election proceedings while charges were being investigated against the conn., pany. At the same time charges were filed against the company ale leging the discharge of three em- ployees because of Union activt- ties.
 The obvious purpose of the mo- tion to postpone election proceed ings, was to get additional time to continue their organizing activ- ities at the plant.
 The Independent Union promptly filed motion to dismiss the CIO motion in the election case.
 The CIO had hope that the Ma tional Labor Relations Board would assign the matter to another hearing and the taking of further evidence all of which would con- Sume lot of additional time. The National Labor Relations Board would not do this but continued with its consideration of the case on the record as originally present. ed. This has prevented any fur ther delay in election proceedings and represents complete failure on the part of the CIO in the whole matter.
 At the same time 1t is a most fortunate ending for Electric Boat Company workers who are thereby saved considerable delay in secur- ing their new contract and hope for additional benefits which will mean thousands of dollars in extra pay and benefits.

The Independent Union spon- sored an open meeting for all burners employed at the Elec- tric Boat Company recently. Attempts by the CIO profes- sional organizers to crash into the meeting failed and none were admitted or allowed to attend.
 President Harold Cruise, of the Independent Union, presid- ed at the meeting and frank discussion was held on all mat, ters of wages and working con- ditions affecting burners.
 All burners who attended were greatly impressed by the honesty and sincerity of the officers of the Independent Union and had clearly ex- plained to them that under the system of operating of the In- dependent Union any group of workers at the Electric Boat Company at Groton in any single department have control over their own destiny and benefits from Union organiza- ton their rights to select their own departmental representa- tives to handle their own griev- ances with the management and foremen and to represent them in all Union activities.
 Special problems of the burners were explained to President Harold Cruise, who has already taken prompt &C., tion to correct the same.
 The Independent Union is ready to hold open department meetings for any group of workers at any time to ad- vance the welfare of the work CTS in general and to solve spe- cial departmental problems.
