As soon as production figures are available the Union and Manage ment will measure the increased production for January through increased effort and if bonus has been earned it will be paid as soon as the payroll department cam make calculations.
 The approval of the incentive system was not only retroactive but came through without any ceiling. Originally the maximum bonus which could be earned was 1O%. As changed i'm formal form there is no limit to. the' amount o8 bonus. For example, If production is increased in any one month by 30% workers could earn a 2Oqe bonus.

The necessity for this move was brought out in the discussion of the representatives for Labor who will be sitting on the Board. One an AF of L man and the othee from the CIO ranks. It Is needless to point out the fact that in all fairness to our Union and the men in the yards-it represents that at least one member should be re- moved and replaced by an Inde- pendent Union man.
 The fact was brought out that MT. Peter O'Malley's friendship with Senator David l. Walsh. Chairman of the Naval Affairs Committee, and his other political connections best suited him for the job ahead down there.
 It may well be remembered tha& the Union has at present on file a letter addressed to MT. O'Malley from Senator Walsh, who in his position has the production ok SUBS at heart, promising his CO., operation and aid whenever he could be of use to our Union In Washington.
