Other Incentive
 Plans Successful

It is interesting to note that al- though the wage incentive system here at the Electric Boat Company is disappointing so far, yet this is not the situation elsewhere.
 Chairman Saul Wallen has an- nounced that the wage incentive plans approved by the New Eng land War Labor Board during the past year have resulted in @ 26% average increase in production, a 15% average increase in workers earnings and a 13% average de- crease in unit labor costs.
 The New England results com pare with preliminary results an- nounced out of Washington from War Production Board sources generally reporting production in- creases between 18 to 9 % in pro- duction.
 The Union Incentive Committee is firmly convinced that local workers are no different than workers in other industrial plants, and that having been offered a chance to make extra money by increased effort, that they have put in the increased effort.
 The Union denies and contradicts management claims that there has not been any increased effort in March. The Incentive Committee has found out what Is wrong in the situation and will do every thing 1t can to correct ik

formally adopted because it ap- peared to the public and industry members of the Commission that a precise line of denarcatiOp even on this combination basis might create inequities and was not suf- ficiently flexible to allow for the varied type of equipment and methods of operation in the various yards.
 Accordingly, in those yards where no specific rates by types of cranes can readily be established by the Commission, we have determined @ range of rates, usually with the top rate one step above the $1.2O rate. In these instances, the parties are to classify existing equipment and employees into the appropriate rate in the scale. In the event no agreement should be reached. the matter is to be sub- mitted to arbitration by an arbiter selected in the manner provided in the labor agreement. We believe that in so determining this ques- tion, more satisfactory result can be obtained"
The sub., 1944-04-27
Crane Operators Win Dispute

The Union has been advised that the decision of the War Labor Board Shipbuilding Commission in the dispute case will provide that a premium classification be eS- tablished for crane operators. This means that some crane operators can receive premium rates above the 1.2O standard first class me- chanics rate.
 Under the decision the union and the company will be directed to classify the crane operators equip ment and employees into appropri- ate rates in new scale which will contain a premium rate over and above the first class rate of $1.20 per hour as well as the current existing rate for first, second and third class. The exact amount of the premium rate is not yet known. In the announced decisions in other shipyards the Bethlehem Steel Company Boston Yard premium rate was set at $1.27 per hour. In the Bethlehem New York and Sparrows point Yards the premium crane operator rate was set at SIPS per hour. On the other hand in the Bethlehem, Baltimore and Fairfield yards the crane operator premium rate was set at SIPS per hour It is thus obvious that just what the rate will be in Groton can not yet be determined.
 It is also unknown just what dis tinction will be made between diff ferent types of cranes. The fol- lowing excerpt from the Bethlehem Steel Company decision indicates the attitude and policy of the Com mission on crane operators.
 ''The action taken in the case of crane operators requires com ment. At present. this is stand ard $1.20 trade at these yards. In a majority of yards on the Atlantic Coast, some crane operators re- ceive premium rates but no uniform criteria exists as to the type of crane on which the premium rates are paid. I'm other zones it is the predominant practice to pay premium rates to some crane oper- ators.
 "The Commission attempted to establish precise criteria for crane operator rates throughout the zone but the diversity of yard operation and types of equipment made the task difficult if not impossible. In- dustry insisted that lifting capacity is not a proper single criterion and some labor representatives agreed. The so-called live boom" criter- ion was discussed but this was not adopted because of the great diff ference in types of equipment with 8 live boom. A combination of CD lifting capacity and CD live boom was also considered but was not

Shipbuilding Commission
 Visits EBCO

The members of the Shipbuild- ing Commission of the National War Labor Board who have been handling the dispute case visited the local plant of the Electric Boat Company on Friday and Saturday, April 14th. and 18th.
 The members of the Commission who were present included William H. McPherson and Paul A.. Dodd, both of whom are co-chairmen and public members, Lee G. Paul, in- dustry member, and James Rose man representing labor.
 The Commission came here for the purpose of physically inspect ing and comparing trial crew du- ties. Members of the Commission stated that the claims of facts made by the Union and the Company on this subject were so conflicting and contradictory that no finding of fact and decision could be reached without additional infor- nation and actual inspection.
 The Commission completed its Investigation and inspection on Friday. A river trial run was on schedule for Saturday and some members of the Commission ac- cepted the invitation extended to go on the submarine during the actual trial operations.

ChrOmang Use May Not Be Permanent

Purely as conjecture and without any definite representation or com- mitment, Commander Hardy of the United States Navy, attached to the local Naval Supervisory Shipbuilding Staff, has indicated that there may be changes in Na- val specifications in the near fu- ture eliminating or curtailing th0 use of chromang.
 Whether or not this occurs ap- pears to depend upon unpredic- table circumstances relating to availability of certain other ma terials.
 Certainly no tears will be shed by the welders and clippers if this possibility becomes a reality.
