the first hull in the yards is rival ing the progress in the other yards, General Manager O. Pomeroy Rob- inson has announced.
 The first hull is that of the sub marine Dace. The keel laying took place on July P, when the new yard was officially opened. Cur rently two submarines are under construction in the Victory Yard this year is the goal of the com pany.
 The Victory Yards aim, like that of the other yards in the plant. IS to constantly speed the production work, and each step in the yard development Is aiding.
 Mark A. Hammond is represen- tative of the general manager at the Victory Yard; Ralph M. Weeks, assistant to Edwin B. Wheeler. shipbuilding manager, is superin- tendent of the yard, and Arthur Bliven is superintendent of the ma chine shop.
 The shipyard IS working on two shifts, and the progress record of the Dace shows clearly that the force is working well.
 Three shifts are active in the machine shop, and the record of work is excellent. A months rec ord showed no spoilage whatsoever.
 The Victory Yard is located on the site of the Groton Iron Works "a shipyard of World War No. l. The shipyard was first established for the construction of freighters, and the first keel was laid In 1918. The Groton Iron Works was shut down in 1920, as the first World War was over and yard had full filled it's program.

B. w. Rainy ApeaIs To Management And
 Workers Alike To Stop Passing The Buck

would like to make an appeal,
 1 my fellow workers at the Elec- tric Boat Company, for greater support for the Labor Management Production Committee through the suggestion boxes.
 As committee, we have tried to make the Labor Management Com mittee clock tick, but there are difficulties. Neither the Manage ment nor the men in the yard are cooperating to the extent we thought we had a right to expect. The opinion of many men in the Yard and shops, is that the Elec- tric Boat Company only tolerates the L. M. c. idea because it Is Gov ernment sponsored. The Manage ment evidently believes that their technique of management need not be changed one iota in the inter- est of cooperation, and castigates the poor salesmanship of the com mittee with the sloganized repri- mand "Alibis don't build subma- rines." To sum up; the Company says 1t is up to the men to coop

crate, and the men say 1t is up to the Company. They both blame It all reminds me of Admiral Sims the Labor Management Committee. story of the two Englishmen who were marooned for six months on desert island, and did not speak to each other the whole time, be- cause they had not been properly introduced.
 The abor-Management idea is the outcome of the belief that the opposed forces of Labor and Man. agement would cooperate for their mutual security, because of the threat of a common enemy, and of the need to overcome that ene- my. The framework for the La- bor- Management Committees, and the scope of these committees was built and defined by the United States Government, to help speed production of very necessary equipment. The framework is ample and the scope is far reaching

 The property was acquired by the Navy early this year, to enable the Electric Boat Company to fur- ther speed its Keep Elm Sliding" program of submarine construction.
 Hustle and hustle of activity has seen the yard progress steadily. Much of the yard is founded on solid rock, and much blasting was necessary in the yard construction.
 Wood is being used extensively in construction of buildings and storage places. In this war all im- portant steel is being conserved for use in the building of Tools of war" among the most important of which are submarines.

enough to bring results required, if we all care to cooperate.
 This is an age of realism so I will not try to deny that the sub- mission of a suggestion for im- provement may cause your super visor some displeasure, if he hap pens to. be that kind of a super visor, but I honestly believe, we are gradually breaking down that super-egoiSm that some supervisors seem to have. On the other hand, we workers at the Electric Boat Company are either too darned lazy, or too darned scared to help.
 The realism of a Jap supply ship making its destination with equipment to battle more success fully your sons and brothers and mine, should be worth the small effort necessary to turn in what ever ideas we think would help. And, the courage of our fellow Americans, in every branch of the service, including the Merchant Marine, should surely make us feel ashamed of that inherent, economic fear of job insecurity, which is the stock in trade of most, of us during peace times.
 A Canadian Poet R. w. Service) has soldier in one of his poems say I've had more thoughts on sentry go than 1 used to have in a year" Do we have to be in. the front lines to get ideas that help? And, do we have to hear the guns roar before we get the cour- age to submit these ideas? Even If your ideas are for the improve ment of the Labor Management Committee, I know we will, cer- tainly seriously, consider them.
 It is no salve to the conscience of an honest-to-God American just to stand helplessly on the Sidelines and say the Management is not CO., operating to the fullest. We work for the Electric Boat Company, but we do not have to goose step for them. Moreover, we have to be careful because we do not know all their difficulties any more than they know all our ideas. May be if we submit the best we have in ideas, they will be compelled to let us in on some of the things they are up against. That in itself would be morale builder.
 If the Labor Management Com, mittee idea does not help labor to understand Management Produc- ton difficulties better, and Man agement to understand Labor's angle On production, then the whole scheme is worthless.
 Awards for suggestions worth while have been, and are being made That may be incentive. One Company reports that 70 per cent of those promoted to foremen last year, were workers who had turned in suggestions through the suggestion boxes of their Labor Management Committee. That definitely is incentive. For one other reason, believe we ought to cooperate in this Labor Man. agement Production idea. Have we not got here the embryo that may lead to the birth of better understanding between Manage ment and Labor on Production, but on more permanent basis? Think that over, and it's far reach ing significance.

Negotiations Finished; Lawyers Write Contract

Although the actual negotiations between the Union and the Com pany are finished for the present, a great deal of hard work remains before the job Is completed.
 At the present time Attorney Charles Suisman for the Union and Attorney Edward Schneider of Bos- ton for the company are hard at work on the wording, phraseOlogy and structure of the new contract. In addition they have long and difficult task in setting up together for joint submission to the War Labor Board all the changes in the contract which are cost items and need approval. Although working together on these matters which have been agreed upon 1t will not be very long before they are bat tling hard against each other be- fore the hearing section of the Shipbuilding Commission on the 4 disputed items.

Union Elections Coming

Terms of office in the Union which were for one year only will expire on December 31, 1943. This applies to officers, those members of the Executive Committee re- elected for one year only and to all the Departmental Representatives. The representatives who were elected to fill vacancies during the year and who have not served full twelve months are also in- cluded among those. whose terms of office expire December 31, 194S.
 The only hold overs who do not come up for reelection are those members of the Executive Commit tee who were elected to serve for two years. Those are Clifford Trask, Peter O'Malley and Douglas Wilbur. Those going out of office, unless renominated and reelected are Roland Bishop, George Richard, Frank Scully, President Harold

Roland Bishop Sick; Aggressive Union Man

Union members, and those serv- ing on the Executive Committee particularly, were very sorry to learn last week that Roland Bishop was taken i'll suddenly with pneu- monia.
 He is one of the most aggressive members of the executive commit tee, who has impressed everyone with his sincerity and loyalty to the Union and his disability came at 8 most unfortunate time. The Union was in the final stages of the contract settlement and Roland Bishop had been hard at work with the committee since July. He certainly deserved to be present when the job was finally complet- ed to get the satisfaction of per- Sonally attending at the Union tri- umph.

SMEU Achieves Union Security

(contlnued from Page one)
 From now on every worker on the Electric Boat Company who is cov- cred by the Shipbuilders contract will have to agree that as con- dition of his or her employment the company shall deduct monthly, from wages, sums equal to union dues which are now 25c per month, regardless of whether or not they are members of the union. This means that every worker who ben efits by the union contract and grievance procedure is assessed equally with union members for the cost of operating the union.
 The union has also agreed that it will allow every worker who is affected by this arrangement to sign up in the union and secure all of the other union benefits.
 Since everybody will be paying from now on there is no reason why every worker should not inn mediately hunt up the union rep resentative in his department and sign up in the union. If this is done right away they will be able to participate in the secret ballot on final approval of the new con- tract and they will also be able to participate in the election of the officers and representatives of the union who will take office on January 1st.

 The Union is thus faced with electing a new President. Vice. President, a Clerk, a Treasurer, and three members of the Execu- tive Committee. All Union mem- bers will vote on all of the above offices.
 Union members in each depart ment vote as separate units to elect their own representatives and they are entitled to one representative for every 50 union members and fraction thereof.
 All present officers. Executive Committee members and Depart mental Representatives are eligible for reelection. The procedure in the bylaws for nominations must be strictly followed.

Union Gets Incentive

Continued from Page One. Committee will watch it's operation closely and has reserved the right to negotiate and secure such reas- enable and necessary adjustments as experience indicate ought to be made.
 The present bonus agreement is not red herring. The Union and the Company are both in good faith. Time will prove mistakes which have been made, and cor rections will follow.
 The bonus system is not a de- vice to secure increased earnings because the law forbids general in- creases. It is only a joint attempt by the Union and the Company to increase production and reward workers for the increased efforts which must be made by them in order to accomplish this. Whenever the War Labor Board has approved an incentive system in other places it has done so only conditionally and has warned that 1t will cancel it's approval if it isn't successful in increasing produc- tion.
