 Returns Be Turned In Now

But full support of this drive is important because the many char itable and military aid organiza- tions which share in the proceeds from the drive need increased all lotments to efficiently carry on their work.
 The committee expresses appre- citation for the time and effort put into the drive by the workers, and for the contributions. It is hopeful that the final days of the campaign will see Electric Boat Company we'll over the top again.
 Percival c. Woodruff and John H. Hiding again headed the drive this year. Serving with them on the general committee were Roger Belli, Peter O'Malley, John L. Ro- bottom and Albert J. Turner. From the many departments of the Nelseco plant other workers gave unsparingly of their time to put the drive across.

, As part of election propagan0a stories were spread around to the effect that the Union Executive Committee had accepted the change of hours without consulting the Union members or the General Committee and without waiting for approval by vote.
 President Harold Cruise ex- plained to all the Union represen- tatives that when the management conferred with the Union Execu- tive Committee on this subject, the Union took no position in the mat ter because of the fact that it's con- tract representation rights were ex- piring on June g, 1943.
 The Union did place the manage mept on notice that it reserved the right to negotiate the subject of new hours in negotiating for a new contract in the event that it was the winner of the election for bar gaining agent.
 President Harold Cruise further indicated that the Executive Com mittee was willing to watch it's op- eration for a short period of time as an experiment to see if it really did eliminate Sunday work and it's attending problems. When the Union finds out how it operates 1t will take necessary steps for the best interest of it's members and will also work out the best pos Sible solution for the hardshipS be- ing brought about such as the prob lem of people travelling great dis tance and also the problem of mar ried women who are running households together with their jobs.
 The Union Executive Committee assured the General Committee and the general membership that all their rights will be respected and their wishes carried out.

The committee in charge of so- liciting for the National Welfare Fund, now combined with the Ma tional War Fund, is requesting that all returns be made as pos sible, so that this years total will exceed the $17,00O raised last year. A number of donation cards are still outstanding.
 Average contributions have been less than last year, and 1t Is hoped that in addition to the con- tributions which will be received with the outstanding cards there will be additional donations from those who may have contributed small amounts.
 Entering the drive this year, the soliciting committee, comprising many workers throughout the three yards of the Nelseco plant. realized that there were other de- auctions confronting employees.

 This letter was rank misrepre-' sentation of everything that all conscientious workers of the Elec- tric Boat Co. represent. Possibly. some of the workers read this let ter and felt that this man "Belr was treated unfairly, but read this.
 This man claims to have had thirty years experience starting as an apprentice machinist and tool maker and winding up as a super intendent somewhere in Provi- dence, R. l. He came to the Elec- tric Boat Co., and as he states af- ter the Go. looked into his record they hired him as planer hand at 90 cents per hour, now what do you think of a man claiming all of the above experience even admitting he would go to work for that money, but happen to know that he started as a second class machinist with the promise of 1O% less of that rating for period of thirty days which Is an established policy at this plant. He went to work on manifolds which the Go. has been making for years and he claims he needed more tools, this job is now being done by a man that does not have the experience claimed by Bell, but is turning out the work satisfactorily. So who's wrong there?
 He claims he went to all the of ficials of the Co., MT. Richards. MT. Walker, MT. Barnes, MT. Rob- inson, MT. Mahoney and MT. Bliv- en, and told that the Victory yard was inefficient and he was going to Washington unless conditions which to his mind are not right was corrected. Now get this-for man that hollers that some one else is inefficient his attendance record shows that during the per iod he was here he worked less than 70%5 of the time. So who's wrong there?
 Bell claims that he was asked to come back to work and they. the EBCo. officials would give him first class rating and give him a job in the tool room if he would keep his mouth shut. He came back in the tool room, but not as

Independent Union Scores Clean Sweep
Settles Bargaining Agency Dispute With Decisiue Victory

, Once again the matter of exclu~ sive bargaining agency for Elecs tric Boat Company workers was the Groton Shipbuilders and Mas settled in impressive fashion by rine Engineers Union In the elec- ton held last Friday.
 The Independent Union will continue as the exclusive bargain~ ing agency for all workers of the Electric Boat Company in Groton Connecticut, except the draftSmen and pattern makers who continue with their own craft unions.
 The Independent Union victory eliminated a long series of cam- paign maneuvers in which the CIO was outSmarted at every turn. As the campaign progressed the CIO cause became more and more hopeless and finally the CIO quit cold three days before the election and withdrew from the ballot, making it impossible for it to win at this plant. Out of mo- tives for revenge and satisfaction it continued at full pace a vigor- ous campaign throwing all it's strength to a no union vote. hop ing to create situation where if it could not win, the Independents would not be able to win either. This maneuver found the CIO in the strange position of combining forces with an extremely reactiOn. ary group of workers who ara simple enough to be opposed to all unioniSm and allow themselves to be at the mercy of capital
 However, the Independent Union group overcame the combination of these two extremes in g deci. sive and conclusive manner. The election is over and the question of which union will represent the workers here is settled. There

Cliff fTrask On EX. Committee

At the June meeting of the Gen eral Committee Clifford Trask was elected by the members of the General Committee to fill the va cancy in the Executive Committee caused by the resignation of Frank DriminSki.
 Clifford Trask is from the sec- ond shift in the Main Yard and is very favorably known to thou sands of Electric Boat Company workers for his aggressive and successful record in putting through raises for members of the Union.
 Everyone familiar with the rec ord of Clifford Trask is predicting that he will prove very valuable to the Executive Committee in its negotiations with the management for a new and better agreement for Electric Boat workers.

WAR Enters Fifth Year
with Allies on March
Throughout World
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, Sept. l. The war
enters its fifth year today, with
the United Nations everywhere
on the march and the dream of
Hitler and his Axis satellites of
world domination slowly but
surely disintegrating.
1t was just four years ago that
the then mighty German military
machine began history's most cat
astrophic conflict by attacking Po-
land. 1t took the Nazis only l8
days to conquer most of that coun-
try, Warsaw alone holding out un-
til September 81. Poland disap-
peared from the map, divided be-
tween the Third Reich and Russia,
which had moved in to recover what
she claimed was originally Russian
territory.
In 102 days more this war will
have lasted as long as the World
War and today's headlines blazon
the upward surge of the United
Nations against the might of the
Axis.
Nazis on Run in Russia.
The Nazis are on the run in Rus
sia Germany is being dealt mighty
Allied aerial blows, Italy is facing
catastrophe and American forces
are on the march in the Pacific.
Signs multiply that the nerve of
the German people is breaking
Nazi commentators are warming the
harassed and harried population of
the imminence of an Allied invasion
of Europe. One Berlin broadcast
said today:
AS soon as Gen. Eisenhower has
brought his divisions up to strength
he intends to attack Calabria and
Apula. Southern Greece and the
Adriatic appear to offer a better
chance to the Allied forces and
there is also strong possibility of
an attack against the Southern
French coast"
The commentator told the Ger
man people of strong contingents
of troops in Southeastern England
and of concentrations of invasion
boats along the South England
coast" but attempted to reassure
his audience by telling them that
Germany has countered British in
vasion preparations by the appro-
pirate regrouping of her forces"
Berliners had another warning
dinned into their ears from the
Berlin radio-to remove their furni-
ture and other belongings without
delay to place out of the reach of
the RAF."
A third spokesman warned Ger
mans against giving into weakness
and despair"

Bond Drive Success
Hinges on individuals
D. {. Aides Emphasize

Washington's $s4,ooo,o0 Third
War Loan quota must be raised
largely from individual purchasers
because of the lack of manufactur-
ing enterprises here, leaders today
emphasized after Yesterdays lunch
con meeting of the District War FL
nance Committee preliminary to the
drive starting September 9.
John A. Reilly. District committee
chairman; Robert v. Fleming, presi-
dent of Riggs National Bank, and
Capt. Laurence Allen Abercrombie
U. S. N, at the luncheon meeting
urged buying of War bonds as a
guard against imitation.
THE emphasis must be placed
upon the spirit of personal respon-
sibility of every citizen to end this
horrible war as soon as possible"
Mr.. Reilly said as he called on Dis
trict residents to purchase at least
an additional s100 bond during the
campaign. Asserting that the war
is costing America more than $10,-
100000 hour, Mr.. Reilly termed
ownership of War bond seal Of
a faith we'll kept and a belief in vic
tory"
Cites Excess Buying Power.
Asserting that the estimated ma
tional income leaves $1,000, ,000, 900
purchasing power in excess of goods
to be bought, Mr.. Fleming said that
sum should be invested in War bonds
as a certain way to maintain price
levels. Americas great productive
capacity. he added, is a guarantee of
national strength to support huge
war debt, provided imitation is con-
trolled by draining surplus purchas-
ing power into Government secu-
rites.
In the Second War Loan drive. in
dividual persons bought $13,500 000,-
900 of War bonds, Mr. Fleming
pointed out, adding that the Treas
ury in the third campaign is asking
the public to buy only $500, 900 900
more than they subscribed for in
April.
Capt. Abercrombie coupled his
plea for War bond purchases with
an account of South Pacific battles.
He warned large audience of busi-
ness and civic leaders that "the war
