Incentive Paw.
Gains Ground

Washington, Oct. 5-lNS-Adop
ton of incentive pay plans by two
more airplane companies was re.
ported today in the industry's drive
to step up production of planes
and equipment to the forty billion
dollar mark next year.
WPB officials said that Chance
Vought and Republic are following
the lead OF Grammar Aircraft
which obtained 20 per cent in
crease in its output during Sep
TENDER through an incentive pay
system.
1t was reported that the Chance.
Vought division of United Aircraft,
manufacturers OF the Nays Cor
said fighter plane. already is seek
ing approval of its incentive wage
scheme by the War Labor Board.
Republic. maker of the PA
Thunderbolt, is said to be prepar-
ing to submit such a request 10
WLB.
The plans OF Vought and Repub-
lie are reported to be somewhat
similar to the system adopted by
Grammar under which company
employees receive a one per cent
wage increase for each two per
cent boost in production.
The Grammar scheme is plant
wide in its operation and all en-
ployes share in the wage increases.
The plan is based on an output
of AS pounds of airframe weight
per man hour worked This IS
used as a basis for calculating in
creased production.
The Vought proposal was said,
however, TO exclude the work done
by subcontractors in figuring pro
duction increases. The plan was
reported to have been endorsed
by the UAW-CIO. In the case of
Republic and Grumman. there IS
no union bargaining agent for the
employees.
An increase in Navy fighter pro-
duction during September report
edly reflects the operation Of the
incentive pay plan at Grammar
and Chance-Vought.

Union Debate
Soldier Fees

Boston, Oct. 5-INS-A proposal
that American Federation OF Labor
Unions waive initiation fees for
all soldiers honorably discharged
from the Army after the war was
headed for stormy debate today at
the 63rd annual convention OF the
Federation.
The second day OF the conclave
started with the 500 delegates
awaiting a message from President
Roosevelt. Secretary of Labor
Frances Perkins was scheduled to
address the convention.
The proposal that unions open
up their doors to soldiers without
requiring initiation fees once war
ends came from the little Central
Labor Union OF Santa Cruz, Cal.
Many of the large AFL unions
were reported ready to oppose It.
Officials OF the bigger AFL groups
refused. to comment. II was re-
ported they took such a strand be-
cause they did not want the sub
ject = become a major issue az
the Today convention they hoped
it could be beaten quietly.
Soma OF the unions of the Fed
GRAFTON have been famous in the
past for their high initiation fees.
Many OF them we're attacked in
Congress at the outset of the war
for charging big initiation fees at
government construction projects.
High ALL officials prefer not %
discuss the amounts charged for
union cards. The job of collect
ing the initiation fees generally is
left up to the most-time anonymous
but very efficient business agents
of local unions.
