ally do pipefitters' work, but who receive coppersmiths' rate.
 The Company stated that it now employs some twenty odd first class coppersmiths although many of them are not performing work that is any different from that of first class pipefitter, whose total is approximately 10O.
 The Arbitrator was invited to inspect the work at the Yard and he visited the Pipe Shop in the Main Yard and in the Victory Yard, accompanied by Com pany and Union representatives, and was given complete access to all the operations as they were be- ing performed and was given full (Continued on Page SeVen)
The sub., 1944-09-28

highest rate, that being the cop persmithS.
 The Company took the very definite position that . copper smith is one who develops and lays out various copper articles and pipefitting from sheet copper, such as elbows and fitting; heats and bends copper pipe to various curvatures, and silver-Solders them to fittings to form pipe assemblage, checks work against templates and directs hoisting of assemblies and fastening in place.
 The Company also asserted that the pipefitters' job may properly be described as follows:
 "Fits piping on shipboard; makes measurements and
 draws sketches of assemblies;
 bends piping of all sizes up to
 10" diameter, hot or cold, and
 silver-solders them to fittings
 to form pipe assemblies; di-
 rects hoisting of assemblies
 and fastening in place; installs
 temporary fittings"
 The Company also presented to the Arbitrator definition of cop persmith named by the War Man. power Commission, which like wise describes a coppersmith as one who builds up assemblies of copper pipe and fittings and fabri- cates various articles of sheet cop pet, etc. Company also introduced copies of letters it had received from other shipbuildingg compan- ies in which job descriptions of coppersmith and of pipefitters were made, in all instances cop persmiths being designated as those who work principally in sheet copper shaping same into pipes, fittings, etc, also make va rious joints and assemble complete units in accordance with blueprint or sketch, while pipefitters do bending, cutting and fitting pipe to suit targets and according to templates, and also do brazing and silver-soldering as required.
 The Company stressed further the fact that it does very little genuine coppersmith work, and what little Is done is actually per- formed by coppersmiths. Some ter years ago, when the Company did make its own pipe from copper sheeting, 1t established a premium rate for coppersmiths 70 as to at- tract them to work for the Com- pany. Shortly thereafter the work of developing its own pipe was discontinued, and the need for an appreciable number of copper smiths no longer existed. How ever, the Company did continue to rate many workers who learned the trade under coppersmiths, as coppersmiths upon their finishing their apprenticeship, although very little actual coppersmithing was performed by these work CTS during their training period. This accounts for the existence of so-called coppersmiths who actu-

 Dated at Groton, Conn. May 2, 1914.
 Thereafter another formal hear ing was held on May 12, 1914, in which participated the representa- tives of the Company and the Union who took part In the first hearing, and there also appeared for the Company MT. w. B. An derson, general foreman, and MT. E. P. Dennison, foreman.
 The Union presented to the Ar bitrator the proposal that the proper definition for coppersmith shall be the following:
 "There shall be classified
 as coppersmiths, retroactive to
 July 23, 1943, all mechanics
 who are competent to read
 blueprints, make templates
 and targets, bend hot or cold
 pipe, fit in place or to target,
 flange, silver solder, braze, re-
 duce in size by hammer and
 heat, knock out branches, in-
 stall and test tubing and pip
 ing"
 The Company c'ontended that the following Is the appropriate job description for coppersmiths, which is to be made applicable at the plant of the Company:
 First class: Lays out, shapes
 into any desired shape or fits,
 brazes, completes, and installs
 sheet copper; fabricates piping
 and branches and bends,
 brazes, and installs all sizes of
 copper and copper alloy pip
 ing.
 Second class: Does all of the
 work required of first class
 coppersmith, but does not work
 from sheet copper"
 The Union spokesman stated that the problem of arriving al an agreed upon definition of cop persmith has been pending for a long time, and that on July 23, 1943, the Union presented to the Company, proposal for the defin- ition of this job, and have same included in the contract. The Company objected to the singling out of this craft and placing same in the agreement, while none of the other jobs were described.
 The Union introduced testimony by it's witnesses to the effect that men who are classified by the Company as coppersmiths and men who are classified as pipe filters (first class) performed the identical operation, neither of them working on sheet copper, but per- forming all sort of intricate work of bending, silver soldering and fitting of various dimensions of pipe up to as high as 10" steel and 8" copper nickel, but received two different rates of pay. The ones rated as coppersmith receive $1.32 per hour while first class pipefitters receive $1.20 per hour
 The Union also presented to the Arbitrator communications 1t re- ceived from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Navy Department and other sources which contained definitions of coppersmiths, and claimed that these definitions SUD- ported the Unions point of view.
 The Union also stressed the point that craftsmen who are named are required to do work which only coppersmiths are required to do in other shipyards. Also, that the intricacies of the fitting of pipes, be they copper or other metal, on submarines, re- quire special skill and entitled the men who do both the bending and the fitting of the pipe the job
