 We read in the paper something Q New Jersey war plant did and 1t sounds like a good idea. In each department they have big poster with the names. rank, and branch of service of the people formerly in that department and below it fin big-letterS, How you use your time is a determining factor in whether or not they return" Why don't we get busy and make signs like that?

 Twenty-one new employees in our shop in March. Haven't space to list them all. but welcome to the original Live Wire department. (AH right. So we have got a few dead plugs here. What do you want. two eggs in your beer?)

 Interesting is the fact that quite a few of our leading men and bosses were formerly militant un- ion men. That's one way of get ting rid of people who are too in- siStent as to Iabor.s rights. But that type would always get along on what they take out of blind mems cups.

"Didja hear2 =. there's gonna be at least 5000 taken outta the yard this time by the draft" |. T heard that the FBI has agents all over the place, checking up on lost time and materials =. may be that new guy in the shop -. T heard on good authority that they're taking all the women off the boats and putting 'ern in the shops" "I heard that the first and second shift are going to alternate working hours, changing every two months"
 We believe it when we see It.
 .s.m. .e.u.
 Now that we've proven that staying on the boats till whistle time is possibility, how about having a warning whistle blown at 12:25 and $40 at which time we can come up to the shop to put away tools. etc? That much is pretty nearly enough time for all of us. and if enforced rigidly by every department. would be fair to most of us who are staying on. and stop the Scabs who are losing production time by leaving at 11:45 or so.

 A pipefitter, End shift, who has been trying to get End class for 8 months was offered at the special employment office in Mystic End class and a raise to 1st in 30 days . before they knew he worked at the E. B. Looks like the way to get ahead is to quit and be re- hired. But why should the leading men and bosses be the goats for 4hn DoVcoOnol noNk xr,1,A nrxnrraAo men coming in and under estimate most of our good mechanics who'd been here more than a year? It only causes diSsension in a depart men and means the bosses have the unpleasant job of breaking" the new fellows.

 The hardworking triggers on the wet dock who wanted to know how to tie a square knot can come LID any time and Dexter will show. them. For free, too. Or maybe the more enlightened triggers on the ways can help them out.
 s. m Q. u.
 On a broadcast recently spon- sored by the WIPE there was discussion of incentive plans. 101 of which are in operation. These include plant-wide incentive bo- nuses, and also bonuses based on individual increase and group in crease. Average rise in production of the 1O1 cited was 289o: average bonus paid, 18s. Now that the three-month trial period has end ed, we can make suggestions as to ways of improving our bonus plan. Wed like to give ours here: that the bonus be figured by depart ments rather than by the entire ohns,~ 21 -k.s IT
