per hour above the rate which the particular men were receiving as first class mechanics or specialists in each craft This Is the same rate the Company is using in Bay onne, New Jersey, and it is the rate which is used in most of the shipyards. At Cramp, they re- ceive eleven cents per hour more, at New York Ship, up to twenty cents an hour more, and at the Todd Yards, it is also ten cents an hour more.
 Under all the circumstances, ten cents an hour for instruction while carrying on regular craft duties is a very low compensation, and would merely correct an intra- plant inequality between this group and the other first class mechanics and specialists who do not per- form these additional duties.
 Furthermore, the adjustment for this group as well as all other mat ters in dispute in this case, should be retroactive to July g, 1943. The Union originally requested the Company to commence negotia- tions for a new contract in Febru- ary or March, 1943. There is no reason why the Company should profit from the delay caused by the inter-union dispute hereinbefore described. It has agreed that the wage adjustments, mutually agreed upon in the new contract and pend ing before this commission in Case No. 25-910A. should be retroactive to July g, 1943, the date on which the Union submitted it's proposal for the new agreement. If it had agreed to working leaders, it would also have agreed that this be retroactive to July g, 1943. The Company has received the full benefit of the use of working lead CTS continuously since some time before the retroactive date re- quested and it is hoped that the Shipbuilding Commission will not only grant affirmative relief burt will make it retroactive.

Local Union
 Gets Evidence Of New Plot

Evidence and proof has been secured by the Shipbuilders and Marine Engineers Union of a new plot for the downfall and collapse of the Independent Union.
 It appears that some workers have been promised attractive re- wards to bring about 8 situation whereby the Independent Union would either fall to the wayside or merge into either the c. I. O. or A. F. l.. The exact origin of this new development is not yet known but it is obvious that the large unions still have ambitions for collecting as much as $25 to $50 per year from each local worker by dues and aS- seSSmentS.
 The tactics now used by the plot ters is to attempt to instigate work CTS against the new Union dues de- duction system in the contract be- tween the Union and the Company on the grounds that it is unconstitu- tional. They conceal the fact that this system was recommended in the Union shop dispute by a repre- sentative by the War Labor Board.
 The charges made against the In- dependent Union are ridiculous and this new plot will fail just as have numerous other schemes against the Independent Union during it's existence,

Decision on Wage
 Adjustments Expected
(Continued from Page Onel

Union Counsel Charles Suisman has been working on supple mental brief and statement con" corning all wage contract adjust ments. He has held several con- ferences with the executive com- mittee concerning the subject mat ter of the brief and it is now in it's final stage of preparation.
 Both the executive committee and the Union have devoted hum dreds and hundreds of hours on the subject of wage adjustments for the workers represented by the Union ever since last July when negotiations with the Company commenced.
 The executive committee has in- structed its counsel to do every- thing possible to secure success full outcome in the form of ap- proval by the necessary War Labor Board for each wage increase which the Union negotiated with the Com- pany.

plant Is located in a small, non- industrial area and there was no skilled labor available to the Com pany. In fact, the Company IS even now exerting every effort to secure an additional two thousand (2,OOO) employees without success. By far, the greater portion of the workers hired by the Com pany during the emergency were unskilled workers. many of whom had never been inside 8 shipyard and had never done any manual work of any kind The Company had practically no training pro- gram at all and relied almost wholly upon the mechanics who were made working leaders to train and instruct the many thou sands of new employees. This group continues to carry the same added burden and responsibility because there is rapid turnover of workers and each day brings a number of new employees into the plant,
 All other larger shipyards have recognized the merits and justice of the situation and have created classification known as Work ing Leaders. This Company, it. self, has recognized the justice of this classification and in lsssagree- ment covering it's Elco plant at Bayonne, New Jersey, it contract ed with the Union there for such a classification at a rate of not less than ten cents per hour above the normal rates,
 Similarly, such cIassifcations have been established and are now in existence in other large East Coast Shipyards including New York Shipbuilding Corporation, Todd Hoboken Shipyard. Todd Erie, Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company, Walsh Kaiser Providence, Rhode Island) , Federal Shipbui1ding and Dry Dock and Cramp Shipbuilding Company
 Approval of the existence of this classification has been given by the War Labor Board in the Rheem (now Walsh-Kaiser) Decision in Case No. 1923.
 As for the rate to be paid to working leaders, the Union con- tends that the Company should pay working leaders at least ten cents

to flY rate for this group. The written argument in support of the oral presentation as filed with the Commission, follows:
 UNION POSITION ON WORKING
 HEADERS
 The Union is seeking, first, the establishment of job classification known as Working Leaders and, secondly, the fixing of rate of compensation for this position.
 By the term Working Leader, the Union is referring to first-class mechanics or specialists employed on hourly rates, to whom the Com pany has delegated additional du- ties requiring them to teach and instruct in their respective crafts, groups, varying in size of unskilled new employees. These men are required to continue to perform their regular craft duties; they are not on salary as are supervisory employees and they are not given . any power or authority over the men assigned to them for purposes of instruction.
 The Company has never contend ed that this group is a part of the supervisory staff and is excluded from the appropriate bargaining unit described in this brief and for which the Union was certified by the National Labor Relations Board. The existence of working leaders is very recent wartime development. When the last com- plete contract was negotiated in July, 1941, this development had not yet taken form or existed and there were no negotiations what soever between the Union and the Company for the creation of the classification or the establishment of a rate therefor.
 The Company has had notice of the Unions claims for establishment of such d classification for a long while. The matter was brought to the attention of the Company long before the last contract ex- pired. but the Company refused to adjust the matter.
 This group of employees occu- pies very integral and important place in the war production pro- gram. The number of employees of the Company rose from two thousand (2,0OO) to about twelve thousand (12,0OO within the ex- istence of the war emergency. The

 It is just as much an act of sabo- tage to participate in such deeds as if you planted bomb inside a boat, ready for launching.
 It has been brought to the at- tention of the Union that the com pany has not provided sufficient nor proper shacks for the men to seek shelter from the weather, es- peciaHy in regards to the welders and chipperS. but this still is NO EXCUSE FOR THE DESTRUC- TON OF TRRE EPLAC A B L E EQUIPMENT
