 He shall maintain daily contact and supervision throughout the entire plant with all union repre- sentatives for the purpose of re- cefving and recording all griev- ances and requests for raises. He shall also do everything neces- sary and appropriate to bring about as complete as possible compliance by the Company of all contract provisions, and to advance the welfare of this un- ion and it's members.
 Whenever possible and practic- al and possibly he shall be ac- cOnpanied by other union repre- sentatives in all dealings with the management.

Epidemic of Flu Hits New England

Figures of over a thousand were reported as sick cold cases of alb sentees at the E. B. Co. Elsewhere every one you come in contact with has or has had a cold of some kind. A couple of weeks ago, we heard that on Monday at least 600 were out of work, Tuesday about 700 and from Wednesday to the rest of the week about 1900 to 17O0 cases of the pesty stuff were reported. In England the worst epidemic of the War threatened as the flu death roll was disclosed to have jumped to 709 fn 126 major towns of Eng land and Wales for the week of December 4. Tens of thousands were sent to bed by the disease that is approaching plague propor- tionS.
 The flu is described as an ordin- ary type from which most victims in England recovered in two or three days and that those deaths have occurred in people over 55.

lnce,tipe System Wiu .Pen0lize Absenteeisl1l

The Union and the Company have recognized that ahsenteeism. regardless of cause, has an adverse effect on the purpose of the in centive system to achieve n- creased production through in- creased effort.
 Getting an incentive plan started is exceedingly complicated and in- volved. Thus it has also been agreed that at least during the first three months of the operation of the incentive system it will be impossible and impractical to at tempt to make any distinction as to the causes of absenteeism.
 Therefore, the plan as it will be in operation for the first three months. will penalize every em- ployee who for any reason what soever. The penalty will also cover tardineSs in reporting to work of more than one half hour. The pen atty will be at the rate of 10 per- cent of the earned monthly bonus for each day in the month or por- ton thereof of abSenteeism. For example. If a 10@d bonus is earned in January, man who has been

.Shipyards To Close Sundays

United States shipyard workers who have turned out a record smashing tonnage of merchant ves- sels during 1943 have earned a day off every week, the U. S. Maritime Commission ruled.
 Orders have gone to all shipyards from Rear Admiral Howard l.. Vickery to close down every Sun- day after January l.
 The commission said the man. power partly influenced the deci- sion, but that the controlling factor was the desire to give a regular rest to the thousands of shipyard workers who have put in long hours of overtime during the past year in meeting war needs.

Cruise Picked For Business Agent

The General Committee of the Shipbuilders Union which is it's governing body corresponding to 3 Board of Directors, at it's regular monthly meeting for December sell ected Harold Cruise the Union President as the first Business agent of the Union on full time basis.
 Cruise is ending his 2nd term as President of the Union and holds the distinction of being the only Union President who has been re- peated in this post. The Bylaws prohibit more than 2 consecutive terms for this office
 The Business Agent will begin his duties January 1st, 1944 on a six months trial basis and is faced with many burdens before begin ming his duties. First of all the new incentive gustem on an over all plant basis will also start Janu- ary 1st and no doubt there will be many wrinkles to be straight ened out at once on this subject alone because everyone must clear 1y understand that all workers are just one team in the contest for the bonus and if one person Shirks, the others may suffer regardless of how hard they try. Cruise will need the fullest cooperation of all union members and representatives in his supervision of the operation of the incentive system.
 Then there is the matter of the new written grievance procedure. The new contract requires that all grievances including pay requests ke handled in writing. As yet, the forms have not even been prepared or printed. Again, patience and cooperation from everyone Is needed until things are broken in and work smoothly.
 All in all Cruise has the unenvi- able task of business managing from the union point of view. 2 shifts spread out over 3 yards and the Vanadium plant.

1t was also voted that the ballots for the primary election get into mails by December 31st and the Election Committee was directed to handle all other details.
 The Union Bylaws provide that winning candidates must receive 6 majority of the votes cast. Thus, when there are more than two candidates for a single post the first election is g. primary and the two highest candidates for each position go into a final election unless one of the candidates re- ceived a majority Of the votes m the first ballot.
 Tn view of the large number of candidates for each post except clerk it is inconceivable that all contests will be settled en one cleo ton. In the case of the position of clerk, there are only two candi- dates. Elwood Aeker and C. R0- land Bishop. Hence, whichever candidate receives the most ballots in the first election will be de- e1ared elected and no run-Of on this office will he necessary.
