Ruling on Whistle To Whistle Work Sought by Union

The Independent Union was in complete harmony with the Com pany in its effort to get full days work from workers at the plant in the Ne. 1 critical, private shipyard in the United States. The Union now believes that the Company has overstepped it's bounds with reference to it's recent tactics on quitting work.
 The Company now insists that men actually engage in produc- tion work right up until the whistle blows and that all tools and equip ment, regardless of whether they belong to the Company or not. shall be put away on the mems own time. This delays workers from between five minutes to half an hour in leaving the Company premises after their working day is finished.
 Attorney Charles Suisman has advised the Union that this may be violation of both the Fair Labor Standard Act and the Walsh-Hea- ley Public Contracts Act unless men are paid overtime until they actually leave the plant.
 No formal ruling has ever been issued upon this question and, therefore, a request for ruling has been forwarded to the Solicitor of the Fair Labor Standards Division of the Department of Labor.

the Union cleark read a motion of the Executive Committee advis- ing the General Assembly to call for a strike vote under the Smith Connally Act, giving three reasons for this startling recommendation.
 Charging the General Assembly that you have here two serious breaches of contract by the com pany, and their gestapo methods of discrimination against the symbol of our organization, our President is the Kingpin of our Union, If he falls we all fall, and the Union does not exist.
 The General Assembly unanim- ously passed a motion to call for a strike vote under the Smith-Con- nalE Act, listing the following reasons for their actions:
 I. BREACH OF CONTRACT BY THE COMPANY of the provisions of Article TX on strikes and walk outs. President Ward was issued

War Labor Board Approaches Trial
 Crew Adjustment

The Shipbuilding Commission of the War Labor Board has ap- proved the merger of the trial crew with a resultant hourly in- crease for more than 25 employees of the trial crew.
 This represents a complete vlc- tory for the Union and it is eff fective as of May 9, 1914. The question of retroactivity to July 23, 1943, to May 9, 1944, has not yet been settled by the Shipbuild- ing Commission. The Union has urged full retroactivity. The Company has opposed 1t.
 The Union believes that If the commission does not grant full retroactivity, 1t will be discrim- mating against this group because all other changes in rates jointly negotiated between the Union and the Company have been made fully retroactive.

a two-day suspension slip for ab- senting himself from his job with out excuse, and management fol- lowed this up by issuing a four day lockout order by posting pub lie notices at all of the gate houses warning all guards to forbid Wards entry into the yard until Monday morning, July 10th.
 II. INTIMIDATION AND DIS- EXAMINATION against the officers. executive committee, and represen- tatives of the Unions general as- sembly.
 III. BREACH OF CONTRACT under the provisions of Article VI. Section 2, of the working agree ment, which requires the company to give the Union a five-day no- tice of all terminations.
 The strike vote notices were filed on Tuesday, July II, 1914, which means that thirty days from that date, August 10, strike vote will be held, if during the cooling off period all efforts of arbitration have failed.
 The workers in the plant have long been dissatisfied with the functions of and the incompetence of both the disjointed personnel department and the whole man. agerial setup.
 Neither have they liked the un- necessary lack of work for men in all departments, because of the unnecessary stop-pages in the flow of materials between departments.
 Flow of materials from outside the yard is a recognized unknown quantity but within the yard, with alert and proper supervision, It should and could be controlled. The Union has been reminded that this problem is managerial and without the scope of Union action.
 However, it is right down our alley when this gross incompetence of the management is hoisted upon labors shoulders and called loaf ing for no just cause" A real man can take the blame if 1t belongs to him, but the only way an innocent worker can vindicate his honor IA to vote YES on August 10th.

Union Backs Ward; To Force Issue
 With the Company

All the representatives and members of the Executive Com mittee of the Shipbuilders and Marine Engineers Union continue to be thoroughly aroused and irked as result of the latest Com pany anti-union demonstration and anticipated reactionism which took the form of a suspension meted out to the Union president without warning or provocation. The Union moved swiftly into ac- ton and Is now determined that If this shipyard Is to continue to operate without any work stop- pages, then either the Navy will have to take over operation under the War Labor Dispute Act or else there will have to be a com- plete management reorganization under which all Union officers, members of the Executive Com mittee and departmental repre- sentatives will be completely protected against discrimination, intimidation and coercion.
 There can be little doubt but that the Company is unjustly at tempting to pass the buck to the Union and covering up for it's fail- ure in the war program. It Is no secret that production achieve ments in 1944 are flop. The Com pany has been attempting to cover its own shortcomings by blaming the workers. When the Union pro- tested wholesale layoffs of workers without correction of management inefficiency which Is keeping hun dredS of workers idle despite their willingness to work, the Company turned Its wrath and revengeful tactics towards the Union. The Un- ion is still determiend that the whole truth shall be told and known.

Truck Drivers Rates Adjusted

The independent Union, acting through it's Business Agent, Har- old w. Cruise and the truck driv- ers' representative. Jim Santan- gello, has achieved satisfactory results in connection with adjust ment of truck driver rates.
 When retroactive money for truck drivers was originally dis tributed, twenty or more truck drivers were given only a 1c per hour increase between July 23, 1943 and January, 1914, when they had all been promoted to $1.OO. From January, 1914, on, the Company paid them the first class truck driver rate of $1.04 per hour, but prior to January, the Company had attempted to pay them the second-class truck driver rate of 96c per hour. AS a result of successful Union action, an extra $88 per man was assured for not less than twenty truck drivers.

Union attitude and policy of non- interference with any company's disciplinary action for any unnec- essary loafng and shirking.
 However, your statements to the press have been misleading and have created a public impression of widespread loafing and shirking because of your failure to also state that the vast majority of workers are sincere and conscien- tious, and render a full days work at all times.
 Although the statements made by you also contain an inference and even an indirect confession of prior management laxity and inefficient cy, the Union contends that an ac- curate and honest public statement should also point out that a great deal of idleness in the plant has been caused solely by failure of management to provide tasks to waiting and willing workers.
 The Union requests an immedi- ate and appropriate public retrac- ton.
 Very truly yours.

MT. Wheeler, who had been an employee of the company for the past 40 years, had been in failing health for some time, but up un- til a week before his passing, he seemed to be on the road to recov- cry. However, on Monday of last week he suffered a relapse.
 Although born in Port Huron, Mich, the son of lumberman and timber cruiser, he, ras a small boy, showed a distinct interest in boats, but little did his parents realize that this boy was to grow into one of the greatest shipbuild- CTS in the country.
 MT. Wheeler commenced his shipyard experience as a loftsman at the American Shipbuilding Co. in Cleveland in 1899, but remained there only a few years. From the loft he accepted a position as a draftsman in the design and draft ing department of the Electric Boat Co.,, which at that time was stationed in New Suffolk, L. I.
 Since that time, MT. Wheeler has been connected with the Electric Boat O., as its represent ative throughout different parts of the country, up until the year 1925 when he became shipbuild- ing manager, which position he has held ever since.
 Little need be said concerning the popularity of Edwin Wheel CT, both with workers and officials alike, and without a doubt could be termed the most popular em- ployee of the Electric Boat Co.,. The memory of such a man will finger in the miDds of the boat company workers for many years to come.

Zorie wondered at that moment if
the three kisses she had bestowed on
the brow Of the cast-iron Buddha
had anything to do with all this.
When the two stewards had placed
her two suitcases and her small
trunk in the middle of the state
room, Zorie Corey tipped each a
dollar and wondered if it was
enough. From their smiles and their
thanks, she assumed that it was.
Never having travelled, she was ig-
norant about such things.
She closed the door. She took a
deep breath and looked about the
room which was to be hers alone for
four days and five nights. 1t was
cozy room done in ivory and pale
green. There were twin beds, each
against wall. There was a dress
ing-table with triple mirrors.
She wondered what Mrs. Folsome
was thinking about the telegram she
had sent her from Salt Lake City.
She had been tempted to send one
saying, $50 sorry. Going to Ha-
waii. Your invitations in corner
trash basket"
The one she had sent said, DREAD
fully sorry. In haste of departure
lost your tea invitations. Please du-
plicate and send me bill"
And she had sent a telegram to
Jimmy Hoffbrower, saying: "Your
term paper finished. In drawer my
typewriter table. Hope you pass
all courses with flying colors"
Her thoughts drifted to the big,
bronzed young man she had met in
the rain. Although she now knew
who he was, he remained mys-
FERROUS. His full name was Stephen

had told her in the plane, in dis
grace. Steve had been living in
Germany. His political sympa-
thies were very pro-Nazi. He had
a rascally reputation. Steve was
being taken back to Uluwehi by his
grandfather, who, Paul said, was
disguised with him.
Steve is in the doghouse," Paul
had explained, land the less said
the better"
She slipped into sodden sleep.
A series of bangings aroused her.
Three men we're in the stateroom
and they were depositing luggage
on the floor beside hers. 1t was
beautiful luggage of all shapes and
sizes, but all of a pattern, a soft
faun color with bright red-and-blue
bands about it, and all stamped in
gold with the initials AL.
Zorie sat up and gazed at it.
There were at least ten pieces of
this handsome luggage.
Then a girl came sailing into the
room-a girl of about Zorie's age
and size, and she was slim, dark
and beautiful. She had brown eyes
and a dusky lovely skin. She looked
as if she might be Spanish or
French.
She hardly glanced at Zorie. She
said coolly, what are you doing in
here?" She had the kind of accent
that you associate with sophisticated
people who have lived great deal
abroad-not English, or French, or
German, or Italian, or Russian, but
a smooth blending of them all.
Il thought this was my room,"
Zorie answered meekly.
The girl glanced at Zorie again,
then stared. Her eyes seemed to
grow huge. Her lovely color faded.
"Who are your" she gasped.
my name is Zorie Corey"
"Where are you FROM"
Confused by her sharpness, Zorie
told her.
The girl stared at her few Sec
onds longer, then her color i'm
proved. She laughed and said,
"We'll see about this. l paid for
exclusive occupancy of this room
and l intend to have it."
She was, once again, sharp and
vigorous and sure She was the kind
of girl, Zorie thought enviously,
whom people don't push around
The girl sat down on the unoccu-
pied bed and snatched up the tele-
phone. She asked sharply for the
purser. When she got him, she said
vigorously: This is Amber Lanning.

in which there are great difficulties in

greater than in the preceding three
