Instructed on Every

II was at the same meeting that
we were instructed on the shapes,
sizes, SilhouetteS and abilities of
every known type OF japanese
plane.
We were told that the Japs
have a bomber similar 10 the BPS,
and that there would be some
slight chance that we would be
mistaken for japanese bomberS
when we came over.
But the main expectation was
that they'd throw everything they
could get IN the air against us.
At Eghn our bombing plans

approval IS received from the War Labor Board for the increases. It is against the law to put any in- creases into effect without the sanction of the War Labor Board even though the Union and the Company agree to them. They must be jointly submitted to the War Labor Board and be checked to see that the increases are not inf1ationary but are merely adjust ing rates which are out of line to bring them up to existing rates in other places. Because of this limitation, wage freezing, the Un- ion is unable to obtain any increas- es at all for 1st, End or 3rd class mechanics who are already in the standard brackets under which the first class mechanics receive $1.20 per hour.
 The adjustments which the Un- ion and Company believe can be made with the approval of the War Labor Board and have been agreed upon will raise burners, drillers, erectors, generator operators, con- ductors, locomotive engineers, riv- erters and tank testers to $1.20 per hour for 1st class and $1.11 and $1.05 per hour for End and 3rd class. In addition foundry chip pers, furnace strikers and melters will get SLIP, $1.05 and $0.97 per hour for 1st, End and Srd class re- spectively. Bremen. brakemen and

Union Seeks Early Hearing With WLB

The answer to the Unions de mands on vacations, working lead CTS, obstruction welding. and crane operators must come after 8 hear- ing before the Shipbuilding Com- mission of the War Labor Board.
 The Union believes that 1t can put up strong case on all four of these points and is ready to argue right now. However, the Ship building Commission docket is very crowded and the Union will have to wait it's turn. All preliminaries have already been disposed of be- cause the Department of Labor has already certified the dispute to the Shipbuilding Commission. The steps already accomplished some times take many weeks. It is now expected that the Union should be able to get to a hearing without much delay. If necessary, the Un- ion will follow the tactics employed by the other shipyards and make repeated personal visits to the Shipbui1ding Commission in Wash ington insisting on quick action.
The sub., 1943-10-21

Inspired and stimulated by in- numerable complaints from loyal Union members concerning the non-member chiselers and free riders who were getting all bene- fits of the contract and the Union without paying any dues, the Un- ion negotiating committee fought valiantly and stubbornly for a un- ion shop so that every employee would have to sign up in the union to hold his job.
 Just as in the case of previous contract negotiations, the company stubbornly resisted this union de- mand, but on this occasion there was one important difference. Be- cause of the general freezing of wages the Company was unable to offer enough gains to the union to persuade it to relinquish this demand. And most important of all the union, during these negotia- tions, was represented by very militant Executive Committee who stuck together and would not be- come prey to company pressure.
 Finally when the union had clearly demonstrated that it would remain adamant in this demand and go through with it's strike vote unless the company agreed, sat- isfactory solution was worked out.

Each Department to Elect New Representatives

The Election Committee, under the Union Bylaws, must shortly prepare and give notice of Sched- ule of annual departmental meet ings for each department to elect Union representatives. The sched- ule will be worked out in such a way so that all representatives will be elected during the months of November and December and their term of office can begin on January 1.
 Departmental elections must not be held until the schedule is an- nounced and then must be held on the scheduled day and hour in the presence of one or more members of the Election Committee. The Election Committee can reject any election not held on schedule and call for a new one. Departmental elections like all other elections must be conducted by a written secret ballot and no member can vote by proxy, unless express au- thority is received from the Gen. eral Committee.

Secret Ballot On
 Contract Coming

The arrangements and agree ments between the union and the company for a new contract are tentative only. Under the Union rules no contract can be signed by the Union until it has been ratified by majority of the mem bers who appear to vote by se- cret ballot. The Union Executive Committee is completing plans to conduct the necessary voting as quickly as possible so the agree ment can go forward to Washing ton for approval and then go into operation as soon as possible.
 The Union faces a tremendous task in working out a system so that the thousands of union mem- bers can vote with a minimum of delay and trouble.
 AS the Sub goes to press the date and system have not yet been set. However, according to present indications the voting will take place early next week. All Union members are urged to watch for the special Sub extra which will appear almost any day containing all the details. In the past it has been possible for all workers who sign up as members in the union right up to the date of voting to

Arthur w ard Reinstated

The Independent Union has ef- fectively demonstrated it's power and loyalty through the reinstate- ment of Arthur C. Ward, Union Vice-President.
 Ward has been fully reinstated without condition and without any effect on his seniority status and length of service record for va- cations. The Union achieves a clean cut victory in securing this result without the usual long delay and protracted effort involved in the successful prosecution of dis criminatory charges before the Ma tional Labor Relations Board. Pro- ceedingS before this tribunal re- quire the same detailed prepara- tion as court trials and because of the pressure of a lot of business immediate action is impossible.
 Under these circumstances, the Union was more than glad to for get the question of the small amount of back pay. Ward has al- ready been reimbursed by the Un- ion for his back pay and reported to the General Committee of the Union that he is completely satis- fled with the solution which has been worked out. Accordingly the charges against the Company which have been pending before the National Labor Relations Board have been withdrawn. The Union is confident that there will be no recurrence of this situation since the Company failed dismally in it's first attempt, to bulldoze union of- ficials.
The sub., 1943-10-21

>preSent time there IS some pleCo work in the machine shop and foundry but only about half of the workers at these places actually share in the piece work.
 For many years the Union has opposed a general piece work sys- tenn for the same reason which ac- counts for a similar policy on the part of most labor organizations.
 However, in times of war when utmost production is necessary, the Union believes that an overall in- centive system would result in stepped up production and should work out for the best interest of all parties concerned.
 Accordingly, just as has been done in many other industries, the Union has negotiated for and se- cured company sanction for an overall incentive system of 10go provided certain stepped up~sched- ules of production are met. The incentive system will also provide a penalty of 1% for each day lost from work during a monthly in- centive period, regardless of cause.
 In the operation of the incentive system proper allowance will be made for delay and failure to meet schedules which are caused by management failures rather than efforts on the part of workers.
 The Union asks all the workers to give proper consideration to the fact that the installation of an in- centive system is a tremendous undertaking made especially diffi- cult by very strict requirements of the War Labor Board. It is a trial and an experiment. The Unson

'numDer or representatives,, [OlA call yes or no vote was taken. The yes vote meant withdrawal of the strike vote and no vote meant no withdrawal The ballot was 73 in favor of withdrawal and A op- posed.
 The Executive Committee had strongly recommended withdrawal because 1t was convinced beyond question that the Union had won a very decisive victory over tEe Company.
 It was obvious all along that on all points agreed upon the Union had made tremendous progress and had gained everything possible. Be- fore filing the strike vote the Un- ion had attempted to get the com- pany to sign contract and let the War Labor Board decide the four disputed issues. The Company at- tempted to make the Union give in on the four points in order to get the rest of the contract and said that it was all one package, take all or nothing.
 Therefore when the Company capitulated and surrendered on the eve of the strike vote, by agreeing to sign a contract and let the War Labor Board decide the four dis puted points, the Union came out on top in every way.
 The situation was definite cris- is in union-management relations and the complete victory to the Union means that in the future the Company will respect the strength of the Union in any show down.

Still Seeking
 Hour Solution

The general settlement between the union and the company of the contract disputes means the with drawaI of the pending case be- fore the Shipbuilding Commission of the War Labor Board on the subject of proper hours and start ing time.
 The Company has agreed and the contract will provide that there is to be no change in the length of shifts or starting times without notice to, and negotiation with the Union. If the Union does not ap- prove any proposed change then it can appeal to the War Labor Board to assign an arbitrator to hear the dispute and both the Company and the Union must ac- cept the decision of the arbitrator. This means that there will not be any repetition of the Company practices of making changes with out notifying the Union and se- curing Its approval.
 Union representatives on the second shift are working on a change in hours for the second shift to improve conditions for this group. When a proposal is found which the entire second shift endorses the Union will pre- sent the same to the management and negotiate for its acceptance and placement into operation.
