Bill Andrews Quits CIO

One of the star witnesses for the c. I. O. at the National Labor Re- lations Board hearing held at this City several weeks ago to deter mine on what basis the election should be held, was William K. Andrews of Groton, an electrician at the Victory Yard.
 Bill Andrews has now signed up with the Groton ShipbuiIders G Marine Engineers Union and has quit the c. I. O. He came to GrOt- on less than two years ago from Boston and never knew what the Independent Union really was like. His first contact was with c. l. O. supporters who gave him false in- formation.
 At the National Labor Board hearing, Independent Union lead- CTS in attendance, were very fav- orably impressed with Andrews honesty and sincerity on the wit ness stand. He seemed to be the typical type of American found In the Independent Union.
 At the hearing William Andrews really learned what the Indepen- dent Union was like and also had his eyes opened about the c. I. O. He became acquainted with the Independent Union leaders and after this it didn't take him long to see that he had made an error which he promptly corrected by signing up with the Independent Union.

involving 100000 workers and a loss of 675, 900 man-days.
 Unquestionably the totals for the month of May will greatly exceed any previous mark because of the big strikes in the rubber in- dustry in Akron and the Chrysler Tank Arsenal strikes in Detroit. There were numerous other strikes in addition.
 Obviously the coal strike will also product tremendous additional losses and man-days.

ICGOk 1lIJAO1A U1lOOA O1AO 4N@OAOAAe% The Independent Union firmly { intends to have the new agreement keep pace with the record of the Union in making each new con- tract secure new gains for the workers.
 The Union already has a new record of having made huge steps forward with each agreement that was negotiated, both as to wage rates and all working conditions. Under the system of operation of the Independent Union, members in each department submit proposed demands to their representatives. All the representatives file the de- mands at a General Committee meeting. They are then turned over to the Executive Committee which groups and classifies them and then commences collective bar gaining with the management. Independent Union members in all departments are reminded that the time IS growing short and de- mands should now be prepared and submitted to representatives with out delay so that they can be in- cluded in and incorporated into the demands which have already been prepared and are ready for sub mission.
 The program of the Independ- ent Union already includes many important and basic changes which will greatly benefit all workers covered by the agreement. High lights of the already existing pro- posals which the union is waiting to submit to the Company and which are subject to further revi- sion include the following: Wages:
 1. A new minimum of 0Oc per
 hour for learners with propor-
 tionata increases to all inter-
 mediate classes and with a
 new promotion system for
 speedy advancement.
 8. A new increased minimum and
 promotion system for helpers
 and labOrerS.
 8. Equal basic and mechanics
 rates for all trades including
 crane operators, furnace strik-
 CTS. foundry chippers, drillers.
 erectors and grinders. 4 Burners rates to equal Welders
 rates. Mechanics rates which
 are now above base rates to
 be maintained at same level. 5. Mechanics classification for
 employees in transportation
 and storehouSe departments. G.. Increased number of specialists
 rates.
 2. Establishment of new tempo
 rary leaders rates above spe-
 cialists and first class rates. 8. Corresponding increases for all
 clerks covered by agreement. 9. General re-adustment to pro-
 vide rates equal to highest
 rates of other shipyards and
 elimination of all inequities. 10. Reservation of rights for gen.
 eral increase to equal costs of
 food increase if governmental
 price roll-back is not success
 full.
 Overtime:
 1. All work over hours per day
 is time and one half.
 All work over 12 hours per day
 is double time.
 Time and one half shall be
 paid for the 9th consecutive
 day and double time shall be
 paid for the 7th consecutive
 day in any work week.

Christening Ships

In ancient times when a new
ship was launched the ibation Tor
pouring of wine) was practiced,
consecrating the ship to the god
whose image she bore. The ac-
ton of blessing ships is alluded to
by the monks of st. Denys, and
records of ship christenings are
found as far back as 1418, when
the bishop of Bangor was sent
to Southampton, England, to bless
the kings ships for successful voy-
ages.
October 20, 1897, the Constitu-
ton, first United States navy ship
launched, was christened by an
officer who broke a bottle Of wine
over her prov.
Champagne is used because il
is a rare and expensive wine and
suitable, therefore, for such an
important occasion.
