SOVIET ANSWER
The message from the Stalingrad
workers to the Caterpillar Tractor
workers reads:
Together with the entire Soviet
nation we are now rebuilding our
Stalingrad and our plants, where
every foot of ground bears witness
to a struggle without parallel in
history.
"All Soviet working men and
women we will celebrate May
Day In intense effort, moved by
the unanimous urge to supply
the Red Army with all the arma-
ments and ammunition it needs
for the complete destruction of
Hitler's marauding army.
I'VE confidently believe that the
day is not far off when the armies
of the United States and Great
Britain will not only hurl Rommel
into the sea but will begin to ami
hilate Hitler's hordes no less sue
cessfully on the Eurpean conti-
nent."

UNIONS, Sal0 mere tniS Wcch'
anyone who tries to hinder the
establishment of international labor
unity brings grist to Hitler's mill,
and in the final analysis is acting
as Hilter's agent within the labor
movement"
OBJECT LESSON
Pointing to the fate Of organized
labor In Western Europe as an
"object lesson" to union officials
who oppose unity, Alexeyev says:
"This year, as working people
in all parts of the world prepare
to celebrate May Day, the inter-
national holiday Of labor, the
essential prerequisites for victory
are the mobilization Of all the
resources of the freedOm-lOving
peoples and the establishment
of fighting unity between the
sections of the worldwide labor
movement.
1.-THE united effort of labor unions
in the United States, the countries
Of Latin America, Great Britain,
the Soviet Union, Australia, New
Zealand and South Africa, Palestine
and other countries could undoubt-
eddy play a major role in modifying
the freedom loving nations for
struggle against the Hitlerites.
POWERFUL STIMULUS
1.-THE fighting alliance of labor
the world over would be power
full stimulus to the underground
labor and trade union movements
in the occupied countries. Hitler
is striving to prevent such an
alliance"
Soviet workers, Alexeyev said,
have been encouraged to bear
wartime hardships by the knOwl-
edge that workers I'm the U. s.
"are imbued with the same ir-
reconcilable hatred for fascism
and the same desire to hasten the
hour of retributiOn for the Hit
lerite cut-throats."
Soviet labor is grateful for gifts
from u. S. labor to the Red Army,
he said, and even more grateful for
labor's concern with increasing war
production, as we'll as the "numer-
Gus resolutions demanding the i'm
mediate opening Of a second front
adopted at union meetings, conven-
tions and Congresses"
MAY DAY MESSAGE
The sympathy of American work
ers, Alexeyev said, sis demonstrated
by a May Day message to the
Stalingrad Tractor Plant from the
Caterpillar Tractor Works of Pc
oria, Illinois, reading in part:
"Your deeds of valor have writ
ten q story Of blood and courage
that the world will never cease
to read with praise and tribute.
"This great international labor
day will not be celebrated with
marching feet and flying flags.
Together with you, we will OBJ
serve 1t with grim determination

Murray's message was In re-
Spouse to a greeting from the AL
gerian workers, which urged, "let
us unite in action for the world
victory of freedom" and which said
that North African workers, having
known the Hitler terror at first
hand, "know that our life in the
future can only be assured by the
total defeat of international
Fascism."

greetings and the expression of our

clared:

Pay Plan

LONDON, May 8, CALM - On
behalf of their members working
in Britain's shipyards, and Elec-
trical Trades Union and the Ma
tional Society of Painters have
signed agreements with the Ship
building Employers Federation
permitting payment by results I'm
centive pay), formerly opposed by
these unions.
ut is distinctly understood that
the introduction of payment by re-
suits is a wartime measure, and Is
aimed to secure greater produc-
tion," the executive committee de-
clared.
Principal clauses in the ETU's
agreement-which closely parallels
the Painters agreement-are:
~ Payment by results shall
be in the form Of group contract
schemes and not schemes Of in
dividual piecew0rk.
(2) Contracts and prices shall
be arranged between the man
agements of individual firms and
the Representatives of the ETU
elected by ETU members work.
Ing on the contract.
(S) Contracts shall provide
for periodical reviews Of the
value of the work done, at inter-
walls as short as reasonably pos
sible.
az "Any questions in connec-
ton with such schemes which
cannot be disposed of on the spot
may be dealt with between the
Employers Local Association and
the district representatives Of the
union; or may be referred to the
Employers Federation and the
national executive of the union"
Payment by results has long been
accepted in the metal trades. but
it is only during the war that the
system has become widespread.
Principal opposition to insentive
pay came from the building trades
unions. The Essential Work Or
der, applied to the building indus
try in June, 1941, introduced pay
ment by results to certain cate
gories in the industry - mainly
bricklaying.
The order was at first bitterly
fought by the unions. At its an
nual conference in June, 1941, the
National Federation of Building
Trades Operatives-a loose fedora
ton of 16 autonomous unions
voted: "This conference views
with alarm the attempt to intro
duce piecework in the building in
dustry, and instructs the NFBTO
executive to oppose such conditions
with all the force at its command"
In November, 1941, however. the
NFBTO voted to accept the system
of incentive pay, and established a
joint advisory committee to super
wise its application.
