O'Mauey Appointed As UniOn's LiaisOn Officer

At meeting between the Man agement and the Unions Executive Committee for the discussion of lay offs held Friday, August 18th, your Union and the Management came to the following understanding re- garding procedure of our two bod ies in regard to the contemplated layoffs. It was definitely decided that if we continued our meetings daily it would result in lengthy aud unsatisfactory results. To expedite this, and to guarantee fairness to each employee, the SMEU put for ward the following suggestion, that Pete O'Malley, Chief Clerk of the 369 department and Union execu- tive, be appointed liaison officer to check records of employment with both the personnel office and at their sources, department by de- partment. In departments he would check not only with supervisors, leading men, and Union repreSen- tatives, but would also be allowed to check on each employees work through discussions with first class men in their departments.
 MT. O'Malley's position would be purely administrative for the pur- pose of exploring all possible points of information. All cases that seemed questionable would be re- ferred immediately to the Execu- tive Committee and such cases would be taken up as grievances.
 The management took the prop oSition and have further arranged, at the Unions suggestion, stag gered time sheet for MT. O'Malley which will permit him to inter view men on both shifts. MT. O'Malley has gone to work on the new schedule.
 Your Union intends that every worker in the yard shall have a square deal, and that it's contract seniority clause will be respected.
 MT. O'Malley is hard working, we'll liked Union man and espe- cially fitted for his new duties. It is generally understood that he is the only official left on the ex- ecutive Board who is competent to assume that vast undertaking with so short time to complete his en- deavors.
 This is another VICTORY for YOUR UNION, and proves to our that we are still ON THE JOB and are STRONG FER THAN EVER!
 Let's give Pete OMalley the full est possible cooperation in every department in all our yard areas.

To Capt. Carroll and his boys of the Connecticut State Poce They credit to the State of Connecticut fine body of uniform. They proved that all gentlemen aren't softes and the everlasting respect of all concerned.
 For years it has been accepted fact that boodshed and strikes hand in hand Capt Carrols clear headed cooperation with clear headed Union leaders dsproved two ancient theories: One "give cop club and he'll it Two, 'where there's strike there's mob hysteria."
 Capt Carroll won the trust and respect of all by his attitude that he and his here for mutual protec ton He respected rights to strike American citizens He did not brand prejudice radicals and awbreak CTS.
 We feel quite certain that Capt Carroll and his boys would also say Hats Off, to every and among strikers who real Americans in real American way, showed their great respect for law and order PETER O'MALLEY

 James FOrrestal

On Labor Day a year ago, I stated that the outcome of the war would depend in large measure on the loyal efforts of the men and women of the production line.
 The good news from every bat tie front, today, therefore, Is a tribute to the achievement of Am erican labor over the past year.
 Consider what this progress means. Each new zone of combat demands special materials. Each mile we advance multiplies the complexities of supply, transport, and communication. Already our expenditures in ammunition have been incalcu1able. For example, in support of landing operations the Navy already has fired at enemy shore defenses alone about 230

 Great campaigns still lie ahead. Not only must the flow of supplies be maintained, but we must keep our production flexible to meet the evershifting demands of the Fleet as new battle areas are blasted open in the Pacific.
 Now is the time to emulate the spirit of the young Navy flier on combat patrol who was recently offered a chance to return home for a well deserved rest. He de- clined the opportunity, saying "As long as there is war on, want to see 1t through"
 On this Labor Day let us decide that as long as there is a war oTls we'll see 1t through together.
