nored navy return-to-Work order
issued under authority of President
Roosevelt's executive order for gov
ernment seizure of five machine
shops plagued by an old overtime
dispute.
Only four additional machinistS
reported for work to join the l6

defiance of walk-out called by Of
ficials of International Association
of Machinists (AFL) Lodge So.
This meant that only 20 of the
shops total of lis machinists now
were at work.
Rear Admiral Harold G.. Bowen,
who took control of the five shops
to halt interference with war pro-
duction, said it still was too early"
to draw conclusions about success
or failure of the navy's return-to-
work call.
I'VE mailed individual letters to
all employees" said Admiral Bowen.
Il suppose that in many cases the
