Refusing point-blank to rein
state q worker who had agitated
for a union, General Manager
John A. Cupler of the National
Jet Co. in this city deliberately
crippled his working force by
"furlOughing indefinitely" near
ly half his SO nOn-supervisOry
employees, with a hint that they
should apply for work else
where.
Selection of workers for
"furlOugh" had no relation to
seniority. There is reason to
believe that the management
chose for layoff the half of the
working force which 1t thought
was tainted" with unionism.
Employees who had expressed
hostility to unionism were kept
at work.
CONTRADICTS HIMSELF
Only as recently as February !.
the management of the National
Jet Co.. which produces fine drills
for military uses, complained of
being unable TO keep up with its
required schedule, and in a posted
bulletin urged its employees TO pro-
duce as much in six days as they
had been producing in seven. Elimi-
nation of the day OF rest was
nothing for a staff containing sew
eral girls under IS. who also worked
at all hours of the night in viola
ton of the law.
But when half the non-super-
vision force was ''furloughed" Feb
ruary 10, the Notice of Furlough"
stated:
"FOr the past four to five
weeks, there has been q drastic
curtailment In our production
sch edules due to engineering
changes being made In products
manufactured by our customers.
1t is impossible 10 reconcile this
statement with the February 1
bulletin quoted above. Ironically,
Mr.. Cupler had the same day post
ed a notice that all were free TO
join a union.
VIOLENTLY ANTI-UNION
Further inconsistencies i'm Mr..
Cupler's statements were noted by
Horace B. Davis. newly appointed
field representative OF the Western
Maryland CLIO Council who called
on Mr.. Cupler February IS TO de-
mand reinstatement of the fired
worker.
This worker. said Mr.. Cupler, had
the belt on his machine running
wrong. The foreman had ordered
him TO change the belt, and when
he demonstrate had fired him.
However. it was learned independ-
emily that the next day another
member of the force found the belt
as the fired worker had always run
it, and asked il she should change
it. The foreman said. 1T is not
necessary.
Hostility of the Cupler family
to uni0nism Is notorious. Work.
ers being interviewed for emf
piOyment have been queried as to
their union sympathies. although
such questioning Is violation
Of the law. A move for unioniza-
tiOn In 1912 was met with dismiss
sal of an active union member,
and warning to the whole day
shift that unions would not be
tolerated.
SWEATSHOP WAGES
Mr.. Davis estimated that wages
at the National Jet Co. are about
half those paid for comparable work
in the vicinity.
Mr.. Cupler is cooperating 200 per
cent on the war bond payroll deduc-
ton plan, as far as his employees
are concerned. Workers whose pay
check would have amounted to SIC
for a 40-hour week have So deduct
ed for bonds-the amount is set
by Mr.. Cupler. This leaves them,

tlement of a wage dispute
between managers of MeXi-
cali business establishments
and their employees drew
nearer today as union leaders reach
ed compromise on salary scales
with officials of several of the dis
tricts largest concerns.
Approval of the arrangement must
be given by the workers, however,
and a meeting for this purpose will
be held within the next several
days, unionmen said.
FLAT RAISE
one informed union man said the
Mexicali Brewery had agreed to
raise all salaries flat 10 per cent.
Union heads are reported to have
agreed on this hike.
1t was also reliably reported that
the Jabonera Compania Industrial,
cotton seed oil plant, had agreed to
a plan whereby workers in the low
er wage brackets would receive rails
es amounting to approximately 80
per cent. Some higher bracket sal
aries will be advanced as much as
so per cent under the arrangement.
Union chiefs are reported to have
app 'oved the settlement which like
wise awaits the endorsement of the
workers themselves.
Grocery store clerks and their
EN- mployers were also nearer a set
tlement of their dispute and indi-
cations were that a flat 80 per cent
raise would be given the clerks.
AS new agreements were reach
ed tentatively all threats of a gen.

III Uile IllOSJ cO0llQeDJ war review
of his career, Churchill spoke of
impending" operations in the Eur
opean theater and massive amphib-
ious undertakings in what appeared
to be a clear indication of an early
invasion by the allies.
AT SAME TINE
Perhaps by coincidence, Church
ills bellicose speech was pointed up
by Axis re ports that British COM
mando troops had landed on the
Italian island of Lampedusa in the
Mediterranean in what was describ-
ed as a major raid.
Churchill, giving the British house
of commons a guarded accounting
of his momentous conferences in
Washington and North Africa, hint
ed broadly at multiple attacks on
Europe. He said the impending oper-
ationS were being coordinated with
those from North Africa, a clear
sign of thrusts from more than
one direction.
ATTEMPT REPULSED
The German and Italian reports
of the attack on Lampedusa, so
miles off the east coast of Tunisia
and l10 miles west-of Malta, sought
to pump it up as a major operation
entailing a defeat for the allies. But
preliminary accounts suggested that
British commando units had struck,
carried out their mission in several
hours of fighting, and then with
drew.
An Italian communique broad
cast from Rome said the landing
attempt was repulsed by the italian
defenSes, which sank some naval
barges.' The broadcast Nazi version
varied somewhat. 1t said that the
attacking forces landed about five
companies strong, and were de-
Stroyed in several hours OF fighting.
The Rome and Berlin reports of
the blow at Lampedusa capped a
rising tide of speculation that the
allies were about to hit the Medit-
erranean outpoSts of the continent
preparatory to an invasion of Eur
ope itself.
The speculation over imminent
allied operations in the Mediter-
ranean theater was bolstered by the
intensive air and sea campaign
against panteileria, 90 miles above
Lam 3edusa in the Sicilian narrows
Gen. Dwight d. EisenhoWer's
headquarters announced that the
assault on Pantelleria continued
unabated yesterday, with heavy and
medium bombers and fighter bomb
ers shooting down IL Axis planes
