East Coast Alliance Holds Exec Session

The East Coast Alliance of In- dependent Shipyard Unions of America held an executive session in Washington which began on Saturday, March 18, and adjourned on Tuesday, March 21st.
 The Shipbuilders and Marine En- gineerS Union which is affiliated with the East Coast Alliance was represented by President Arthur c. Ward and Peter E. O'Malley.
 Action by the Alliance dealt with presentation to the Shipbuilding Commission of the E. c. A. position on the Atlantic Coast Standards and also with adoption of proce- dure to obtain an E. c. A. repre- sentative on the Shipbuilding Com- mission of the National War Labor Board. According to reports re- ceived from E. c. A. President E.. H. Peterson, considerable progress has been made.

The full text of the opinion in the form of a letter addressed to the chairman of the Connecticut Board of Mediation and Arbitra- tion follows:
 This Is in response to your letter of the 21St ult., in which you say:
 T am writing to you as Chair man of the Connecticut Board of Mediation and Arbitration, to get your opinion as to the legality of a compulsory check-off provision awarded by the Regional War La bor Board and ordered included in a union contract, in view of the Connecticut statute prohibiting de- ductions by employers from the pay of employees without their consent.
 "As I understand 1t. this statute was originally intended to protect the employee from improper gar nishee of wages, and does not pre- vent deductions arising out of Federal or State laws. The War Labor Board, as I know. operates under the War Disputes Act, and I have assumed that the State law does not prevent the War Labor Board from ordering a compulsory check-off of Union dues ...
 "This question is frequently raised by counsel or companies ap- bearing before both the State Board and the Regional War Labor Board: and I would appreciate very much an authoritative ruling from you on the matter ... ."
 There is an apparent conflict be- tween the requirements of our stat utes, section 16O6C and section 1321e, and the ruling of the Re- gional War Labor Board. Section 16O6c of the 1935 Cumulative Sup- plement to the General Statutes provides for weekly payments of wages earned to within eight days before payment. Section 1S21e deals with refund of wages by an employee. The question presenting itself herein Is whether or not said Federal ruling supersedes the pro- visions of our State statutes, com polling the State to yield it's rights.
 Tn my opinion rendered to the Hon. John T. Mccarthy. Commis- Sioner of Motor Vehicles, on May 28, 1942, with reference to a con- fiict between @ ruling of the Office of Price Administration and 8 State statute, we said the follow ing:

A special F. B. I. agent said that the scheme had been in op- eration for at least five years and that other arrests would follow.
 The B arrested were classified as counters in the welding section and were responsible for recording the amounts of welding done for individual workers. The F. B. I. claims that, for a fee. the counter credited the welders with more work than they actually had done. The practice was to charge each Welder approximately $1 or more per day for falsifying the work completed records and in some in- stances reports were submitted by counters indicating a welder should receive as much as $25 as a days pay when as matter of fact, the correct pay should have been $10, according to the F. B. I.
 It is also reported that when a welder worked on a double time day, the counter, in turn, would double his charge for falsifcation.
 The F. B. I. estimated that more than 700 welders were engaged in paying the dollar or more per day to the B counters and one of the arrested men was said to have bought an automobile and built a modernistic playroom and bar in his home where he gained the To- cal reputation of being a lavish entertainer.

East Coast Rates Criticized by ECA

On Monday afternoon of March 2Oth, the full panel of the Ship building Commission of the War Labor Board held a special confer ence with all E. c. A. delegates on the subject of the East Coast wage rate standards which tho Commission has arrived at and will apply to pending wage adjust ment cases.
 Various members of the Alliance criticized various features of tho standards.
 Attorney Charles Suisman point. ed out that the standards fitted very closely in with the wage ad- justments which the union was seeking approval of in its contract with the Electric Boat Company but pointed out five general dex fects from the Unions point 0l view which were:
 1. The proposed rate structure did mot equal prior rate structures established by the N. w. L.. B. in its decisions in the South Portland and Walsh-Kaiser Shipyards.
 2. The proposed rates did not eliminate Navy Yard differentials.
 3. The proposed rates did not eliminate West Coast differentialA.
 4 The proposed rate structure did not provide for appropriate minimum percentages of skilled mechanic clasSifcations.
 5. The proposed rate structure failed to give any relief to the skilled mechanics who have been frozen at the base $1.20 level,

Whistle to Whistle To Increase Bonus

A study by the Union Incentive Committee and the Union Execu- tive Committee on how to increase bonus earnings has revealed one simple method which can produce big results. There Is very con- siderable amount of lost time and hence lost production at the be- ginning and at the end of each shift. Workers are not getting started on time and they are quit ting too early.
 An estimate has been made that by whistle to whistle work, at Jeast 5%o can be added to the bonus in any one month. The Union urges the help and cooperation of every worker covered by the incentive system to plug up this drain which Is keeping the bonus earnings at the present low level.

The Executive Committee has Ms vided into two panels for handling individual grievances. There will bs 8 day shift panel composed of the day shift executive committee members to handle day shift griev- ances. The night shift executive committee members will form . separate panel to handle night shift grievances
 As in the past, all grievances must be in writing. originally ham, dled by Union departmental rep- reSentatives, then turned over to Business Agent Harold W. Cruise If not satisfactorily settled. All grievances which the Union busi- ness agent cannot satisfactorily set tie with the Personnel Department are then handled by the grievances panels.

 The returns will have to furnish specific information of gross in- come receipts and disbursements even though 1t is exempted from taxation.
 It is also understood that re- turns will have to be filed by both national offices and various locals, of all labor unions.

cluSion. Presumably, the authority for the ruling made by the Office of Price Administration stems from the right granted by congressional act, which, among other laws. was enacted in connection with the prosecution of the war.
 Congress, by Federal ConStitu- ton (Section 8. Article D is given the sole right to declare war and to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing pow CTS and all other powers vested by this Constitution in the Govern ment of the United States or in any department or officer thereof
 Evidently, this ruling was pro- mulgated, as were other necessary measures, as needful in connection with the present war emergency The wisdom or unwisdom of the law or of the ruling promulgated hereunder Is left primarily with Congress to decide. (See Cooley's Constitutional Limitations, 9th Ed, Vol. 1. Page 15. Note 2)
 Recently, this department, in an opinion to His Excellency, Rob- ert A. Hurley, Governor, ruled that the Act of Congress concerning

Bonus Saves 100000 Man Hours Work

The consolidated production re- suits in terms of man-hourS for the months of January and Feb ruary, in accordance with the for mula used in the incentive sys- tenn, show that 100000 man-hours have already been saved in pro- duction of submarines.
 It takes many times more than this amount of man-hours to build submarine.
 The Union is hoping. not only for extra bonus earnings, but also that the man-hours consumed in building subs in 1914, will be SO reduced by the extra effort that at least three extra subs can be built this year.
 Such an achievement would represent a real contribution to the war effort and be greatly ap- preciated by the boys over there. Moreover, 1t certainly would help niake up those losses announced by the Navy Department last week.

New Committed For Production Is Chosen

Announcement has been made of the appointment of Production Committee for the purpose of get ting increased production.
 On this new committee will be Frank N. Kelly and c. E. Robin son from the Supervisors Coordin- ating Committee, Bleakley Rainey and Joseph Milligan from the La- bor Management Committee and Peter F. O'Malley and Harold w. Cruise of the Union Incentive COmmittee.
 The Union Executive Committee at it's meeting last Friday was ex- tremely skeptical of the success of this Production Committee unless the Company reversed it's attitude and policy which at the present time is to deprive Union-Manage- ment Committees of any power or authority. This is the admitted reason for the failure of the Labor Management Committee. Some Union leaders believe that the Un- ion should withdraw from any joint committee which is not given a reasonable amount of power and authority to carry out it's conclu- sions and decisions.

According to a recent newspaper report from Seattle. Washington. 1t takes a lot of talk nowadays to build a destroyer. The Seattle-Ta- coma Shipbuilding Corporation, with help of the telephone com pany, figured it takes 87,00O tele- phone calls, both outside and local connections, before construction Is completed on one of the destroy CTS. The information was compiled in an effort to stop unnecessary calls through the shtpyard switch board.

the issues of the appropriate cop persmiths' definition and painters retroactive dirty money are not yet settled. It is hoped that meetings held this week and next week will straighten these matters out.
 The coppersmith issue involves establishment of an appropriate definition for this classification and reclassification of certain pipefitters under the definition.
 The painters dirty money issue involves how far back will the ex tra compensation be paid in the case of spray gun painting, certain bitumastic. hermastic and barrier coatings in the event ( that the Shipbuilding Commission of the War Labor Board sanctions the ex- tra compensation.

Union Boosts Incentive
Incentive System To Operate in Apr.

The Union Incentive Committee and the Management have an- nounced that the incentive system will continue as usual in April even though the three months trial period expires tomorrow.
 The results of the three month trial period should be available on or about April 18th. After these re- suits are available, the Union and the Company will attempt to ar- rive, by discussions and negotia- tions, upon a conclusion as to whether the incentive system should be dropped, or continue as Is, or continue in a changed form.
 When such a conclusion is ar- rived at this decision plus the f- nancial and statistical results of it's operation during the first three month period must be submitted to the Shipbuilding Commission for ratification and approval as to fu- ture action.
 The Union agreed, in it's confer ence with the management, that while all this was happening most workers would want the present system to be in operation so they would have the opportunity to in- crease production, help the war ef- fort and earn extra money.

bWith their weekly pay. The bonus represents extra additional earn- ings during the month of February for increased effort which resulted in increased production. In the in- dividual case of each worker, the bonus is calculated on actual earn- ings for the month of February but is subject to the usual deduc- ton for absenteeiSn at the rate of 108o of the bonus for each day 0& absence or tardiness for more than one-haH hour.
 Tn January the bonus amounted to 5% and represented almost $1OO,OOO.OO in extra money paid. The February bonus will amounA to well over $125,O0O,00O.
 The Union is urging increased cooperation by all employees to boost the bonus much higher. Many workers ara giving greatly inc creased effort with resultant in. creased production to make more extra money and to help win the war; but can't get the bonus they deserve because others are shirk- ing.
