 Fever and disease swept the regiment after the close of the Spanish-American war, which left the men Of the Fourth weak from exposure, lack ot nourish- ment and fatigue.

National Labor Relations Board To Decide Draftsmen's Dispute

The National Labor Relations Board hearing on the jurisdiction al dispute between the Shipbuild- CTS Union and the Draftsmen's $ Union was ended late Friday night. The hearing was conducted at the Court House in New London by the National Labor Relations Board. The entire record will be sent to Washington and decision will be made by the full panel of the board.
 The Craftsmen seek to include in their group the drafting room stenographers, the drawing room clerks and the yard or plant drafts men. The total number of en- ployees involved Is less than 25. The Shipbuilders Union has op- posed the Craftsmen because in the past they were unwilling to take in these groups and because working conditions differ. This dispute has not been permitted to delay the Union contract in any way.

Holiday Schedule Arranged By The Union And Company

The Executive Committee of the Union and the Management have worked out a schedule for both Christmas and New Years. It will, 1t is believed, work out for the best interest to the greatest number of employees.
 There will be no normal produc- tion work on Christmas Day but workers will receive a full days pay for this day under the terms of the Union contract. During Christmas week, the day shift will come into work Thursday, Decem- Der 23rd, at 5:15 a. m. and work to 3:45 p. m. On the same day the second shift will come in at 3:45 D. m. and work to 1:45 a. m.

Essence Of Democracy Found In Independent Unions Like Ours

CT exercised by so many profes- Sional Tabor leaders" undoubtedly tends to create unreasonable and unnecessary disputes; worse still, the privileges, immunities and mo- nopolies of ambitious and unbri- dled leaders frequently destroy the privileges of freedom of the rank and file of workers. They are constantly at work seeking leg islation that will take from the workers the right to choose their own organizations, and compel them to become members of for eign- controlled, internationals.

the Credit Union office has been managed by Mrs. Doris Papp of Norwich.
 Mrs. Papp has been with our Credit Union for approximately one year and is well acquainted with the office she now holds.
 The Credit Union has also added Mrs G. Notta to it's staff of very efficient and conscientious work CTS.
 The office has moved to the rear of the lower floor of the Nelseco Hotel to make room for a branch of the New London City National Bank. Although occupying the same office floor, the new bank will not interfere with the business of the Credit Union.
 Mrs. Papp reports that there are nearly 5000 workers of the boat company who belong to the Credit Union at present, which is a very good membership, but we think that there should be at least that many more who should take ad- vantage of the easy systematic savings plan.

WGr Bonds Urged As DOUn Payment Later

Pointing out that the first thing in home ownership, is financing, and that the down payment is the first financing problem, James A. Beran of the Victory Yard Blue print Department advises families to start digging the foundation of their future now with War Bonds.
 'War Bonds offer a golden op- portunity to solve this problem between now and the end of the war;" says the former Realtor Be- ran.
 For example, the purchase of a single $50 bond each month for the next two years would mean total cash savings of $90O at the end of that period, or an amount suffi- cient for a 20 per cent down pay ment on home with total cost of $4,500. Actual monthly outlay would of course be $37.50, the cost of $50 bond.
 On the schedule in effect for the financing of home ownership be- fore the war, the monthly payment for 20 year, 80 per cent loan on $4500 home would be $23.76. When the home is occupied, with monthly cost fixed over a long period the family need not fear rent rising from imitation or other causes.
