New Shipbui|ding Unit
Set Up by WLB; Old
Group Is Dissolved

A new siX-man Shipbuilding
commission has been set up by
the War Labor Board to replace
a seven-man commission with
whose decisions the board had
been in sharp conflict.
The new commission is tri-partite.
with two members each represent
ing the public, labor and industry.
While it will continue to hand
down decisions on voluntary wage
adjustments and labor disputes in
the shipbuilding industry, it's rul-
ings, as in the past, will be subject
to approval or veto by the WLB.
In reorganizing the commission,
the board dropped representatives
from Government procurement
agencies. Comdr. G. M. Keller and
F. H. Van Ripper of the Maritime
Commission were on the old COM
mission. They and two members
from industry had formed ma
1ority which clashed with WLB in
the last month over the pay scales
at the Bethlehem Steel Co.
Simkin Is Chairman.
William E. Simkin of Philadel-
phia, public representative, is chair
man of the new commission. and
Burton E. Oppenheim, a deputy
executive director of WLB, is vice
chairman and the other public
member.
From industry are c. w. Middle
town, vice president of the Bab-
cock & Wilcox Co., New York. and
Robert G. Hewlett of the New York
Shipbuilding Co., and from labor
James j. McEntee of the Interna-
tional Association of Machinists.

sentative of the International Union
of Marine and Shipbuilding Work.
ers Of America, CIO.
Mr.. Simkin was, chairman OF the
panel that developed the Detroit
tool and die industry wage stabili-
cation plan.
Paul R. Porter, chairman of the
old commission. is dropped from the
new group. but remains as chair
man of the Shipbuilding Stabiliza-
ton Commission.
Old Commission Overridden.
WLB announced that representa-
tives of the Navy, the Secretary of
War, the chairman OF the Maritime
Commission and the chairman of the
War Production Board may consult
with the Shipbuilding Commission,
but no representative of the Govern
ment procurement agencies will have
vote in commission decisions"
Less than a month ago. the board
overrode the old Shipbuilding Com
mission when it refused to raise paw
scales at Bethlehem.
"The majority of the Shipbuilding
Commission" WLB said in an opin-
ion, for reasons which were salts
factory to them, but were not salts
factory to us, have declined to accept
our holdings as to the purpose of
Section 3, Article S, Of the Bethle-
hem contract. They have adhered
to their former position, which we
overruled, that Shipbuilding Com
mission cannot decide the issue on
the merits"
The board ordered the pay raises
requested.

FrenchtOwn, N. J. - 1t has been
sometime since Local 173 has been in
the news Although our committee has
been on the job, the attendance at the
meetings have been very small, due to
gas rationing and the members very
busily working overtime. There is so
much work to be done that the pro-
duction could be doubled if the help
was obtainable. Some of the en-
ployees are working fifty hours week
and doing farm work on the side.
We have been trying to have the
heat eliminated in the sorting room
near the kilns. but the company can
not obtain priority from the WPB
to purchase exhaust fans. They have
now decided to build tile wall in
front of the fire boxes. The mason

The local was asked to solicit the
employees of the FrenchtOwn POrce-

with $1O5 while the firm donated 500.

Steelndn Reports
Steady Decrease
In Ohio Strikes
Sickness And Accidents Are
Cause Of Tremendous
Loss In Production

Cleveland.-Dr John r. Steelman,
director of the United States Concili-
alton Service, Department of Labor,
meeting in Cleveland with 10 concilia
tors stationed in Ohio, Michigan, West
Virginia and Kentucky said, "Ohio's
labor record on strikes is one of the
best in the country and IS somewhat
less this year than last. Since Pearl
Harbor there have been 400 disputes
I'm Ohio Involving over q million work
ers. This is not relatively high in con-
nection with the tremendous amount
of war work done here"
Steelman pointed out that sickness
counts for 100 times more the loss of
production man hours than strikes.
Since Pearl HarbOr the man hours
lost by reason of strikes have been
less than One-tenth of one per cent.
He added that "one strike is one too
many"
During the first 6 months of this
year 800 disputes have been referred
to the Federal Cancellation Service in
the Cleveland area. OF this number 293
were settled and "A certified to the
War Labor Board.
DR.. Steelman urged both industry
and management to bring their differ
ences Ito the attention of his office
prior to work stoppage. He pointed
out that since Pearl Harbor more than
,f Il hrnIpht tn n
attention of the Cancellation Service
before work ceased have been settled
without any loss of production.
He said that he believed in ''the
power of effective conciliation to heal
the wounds. of conflict and added :
"Labors contribution to the war eff
fort is so widespread and so ALIEN
bracing it sometimes is taken for
granted If strike is called you read
of it in the newspapers because that
is news. Seldom do you read of the
daily efforts of millions of our fellow
citizens who go down into the mines,
board ships, or stand at the furnace to
produce the sinews of war. This is the
arsenal of democracy, the one great
forge of freedom that gives us hope of
victory and crOwning success for our
arms"
There is an increasing tendency on
the part of both labor and manage
ment to sit around a conference table
and come to agreement. This willing
ness to compromise and spirit of CO.
operation and unity accounts in large
measure for the tremendous advances
in production.

Mines ToFucilitdte
Testing Of CldYs
More Than Holt Million Tons
Used In Rubber. Paper.
Ceramic Industries

Because of the increasing import
ance of clay in wartime production.
the United States Bureau of Mines
has prepared an outline intended to
facilitate the testing of clayS and in
dicating the industrial uses to which
they are best suited, Dr. r. r. Sayers,
Director of the Bureau, informed
Secretary of the Interior Harold l..
Ickes.
After studying the testing methods
as described by Bureau technicians,
even relatively inexperienced opera
tor can evaluate clays in terms of
ceramic and nonceramic uses. DR..
Sayers asserted. explaining that the
Bureaus studies of clays have been
accelerated because of their potential
value as source of alumina for
aluminium and because domestic clayS
are being used more widely due to the
scarcity of certain imported varieties.
More than half a million tons of
clay are used in the rubber and paper
industries annually. while about 1oO.-
600 tons 90 into dinnerware and other
of clay are used in nonceramic prod
uctS as filters. abSOrbentS. bleachers,
clarifierS and refining agents.
Since clays vary greatly in their
properties. extensive testing often is
required to indicate all the uses TO
which certain clay may be put. At
the Bureaus Southern Experiment
Station at Tuscaloosa. Alabama, min
eral technologists evaluated existing
testing methods and developed new
ones. Many of the testing methods
commonly used were found TO be mere
ly different approaches to the same
object and considerable elimination
was possible In several of the meth
ods the research workers suggested the
use of homemade equipment, plans for
which are included in Il new publica-
ton describing the studies at Tusca-
loosa This publication should find its
greatest usefulness in the testing lab
oratorieS of the United States. \
second study is under way to codify
means of exact measurement of rela-
tive virtues of definite clay.

for various clays are included in the
