 WHO

Moved to the city because he heard the country was at war? Ate bullets 30 he could have bangs? Was a pianist and he cut his fin gers off because he played by ear? Pushed the cow into the ditch to hear the Jersey bounce? Took liquor to bed with him so he could sleep tight?
 Went into the closet to change his mind? Ran around the top of the Wheaties box because it said "Tear around here?"
 Wanted to be a Vitamin because he heard someone say "B1?"
 Sat at the busy intersection with slice of bread waiting for the traffic jam?
 Took street car home and his mother made him take 1t back? Went to a lumber yard to see what school board looked like? Invented spaghetti - worked it out of his noodle?
 Went into the living room be- cause he thought he was going to die?
 Turned off the lights in his car because he had to strip gears? Made three socks for son in the army because he wrote her that he had grown a foot? Thought he was built upside down because his feet smelled and his nose Tan?
 Saluted the refrigerator because someone told him that it was ! General Electric?" Took hay to bed with him to feed his nightmare?
 Went to a lumber yard to con- suit his draft board? Asked his mother her name and when she told him he said Gee, what a mistake: all the time I've been calling you mother?" Committed suicide-went to his l room, smoked cigarette and threw the wrong butt out the | window?

CARRIER VICTORY

The planes of one of the Navy's new 27,0O0 ton aircraft carriers, a ship whose f1iers have already spread destruction across eight ma- jor Jap bases in the Pacific since September 1943, have sunk enough ships to comprise a fair-sized Jap fleet and by shooting down 60 Jap planes in one action, won one of the great carrier victories of the war. In five actions the f1iers at- tached to this fiat-top made well over a thousand sorties against
 the enemy. dropped well over a half-million pounds of bombs and
 fired close to 100000 rounds of ammunition.

Contract Pay Retroactive to July 23, 1943

The Union has been consistently telling all workers since last sum- mer that all contract wage increas es would be fully retroactive. New ertheleSS, hundreds of workers have been very uneasy about this question, especially as the amount of back pay to which they are en- titled keeps mounting up. Every one who has back pay coming now relax because the decision received from the Shipouilding Commission of the War Labor Board confirms the claims of the Union in every respect as to retroactive pay. Every single employee who has an in crease coming, which has been waiting approval of the WLB, will get his money all the way back to July B, 1943.
 This also applies to learners and 1aborers who began to receive their increases last March under a tenn porary advance ruling by the Shipbuilding Commission. These workers will receive their back pay between July 2S, 1943, and March, 1914, at the same time as other workers receive back pay in full The Company has not yet announced the exact day on which the back pay will be received in pay envelopes.

Watchmen, Guards Receive Increase

The decision of the Shipbuilding Commission of the War Labor Board on ratification of contract wage adjustments gives new and higher rates for watchmen and guards, although 1t does not give as much of an increase as the Union and the Company request ed.
 The Union and the Company re- Quested that those receiving 87c an hour be increased to 05c. The commission permitted them to be increased to 93c only. In the case of those who have been receiving 81c per hour the Union secured an agreement by the Company to pay them 87c per hour. However, the Shipbuilding Commission direct-. ed that they be paid C8c, thus making up for its reduced allow- ances in the upper bracket.
 In the case of the watchmen and guards who had been at 76c per hour the Commission accepted the Unions sponsored increase of B10 per hour. The above increases are all retroactive to July g, 1943 or date of hiring in case any of the watchmen and guards entered the employ of the Company subse- quent to that date.
 Under the decision. almost 200 men and women, classified as watchmen and guards, will receive back pay of as much as $125 each.

WAR LABOR BOARD SCORES APPEALS
 FOR REVIEWS

The National War Labor Board moved recently to discourage ap- peals from decisions of it's com missions and regional boards by pointing out that unnecessary de- lays in the disposition of labor disputes are an important cause of labor unrest which may be harmful to the war effort"
 About 90 per cent of the appeals filed have been denied, the VILE stated. Tn most cases the party appealing was thought to be merely dissatisfied with the order in the case and was seeking re- view of the merits without adequ ately considering whether he could establish one of the four permissi- ble grounds for review"
 The WLB said that it's pre- cedures provided that appeals would be considered only on 8 clear showing that CD the order exceeds the boards jurisdiction; Or CD the order contraveneS the established policies of the board; or (3) a novel question is involved of such importance as to warrant national action; or (N the pro- cedure resulting in the order was unfair to the petitioner and has caused substantial hardship.
