NAZI ATTACKS SMOTHERED
 IN ADVANCE

MOSCOW, Sept. 18.-(AP)-- The Russian offensive in the re- zion of Jelgava, 25 miles south west of the Latvian capital, Riga, smother.ng violent German coun- terattacks, marked by reckless use of large numbers of Nazi tanks and self-propelled guns, front line dispatches said today,
 Berlin broadcasts said hte Rus sians had advanced to within fl miles of Riga itself, in a three day offensive drive aimed at crushing two German armies in LatVia and Estonia, estimated at 100000 men.
 Moscow reprots said the Red Army was building up it's last phase in. the coming assault on every Nazi-held position on the eastern front
 The Soviet-sponsored Free German Committee, in a broad cast recorded by Federal moni- tor stations, called upon the Ger man troops in Estonia and Latvia to lay down their arms or turn them against the Nazi units which might attempt to. force them to continue the battle.
 The Russian war bulletin made no mention of the battle of War saw, where Polish and Red Army troops were last reported probing for bridgeheads across the Wis, tula river.
 General Bors, in his communi- que, said his Patriot army in Warsaw, were receiving supplies dropped from Soviet planes.

JAP SABOTEURS ACTIVE INCHINA

RUNNING, China, Sept. 18.-- (AP)-Hundreds of Japanese plain clothes saboteurs, which were reliably reported to have filtered into the key city of Kweilin, are being rounded up and shot, it was reported today.
 The latest information from the eastern China front, places the Japanese regulars about Is miles east, northeast of KWeilin, where the U. s. 14th Air Force destroste ed and virtually abandoned it's strategically located bomber fighter bases.
 To reach that point the Japs drove along both sides of the Human -Kwangsi railway, toward Kweiling, and near Lingling, where another American air base is located.
 Another Japanese force is thrusting westward from Heng- yang, once the site of still an- other U. s. air base, and is re- porte less than four miles of its immediate goal, Teaching.
 The Ninth Chinese war zone troops are reported striking the Japs on the eastern flank, both in the Lingl.ng area, and around Taohisen.

Union, Co. in w WashingtOn
 Last Tuesday

Attorney Charles SuiSman for the Union and Attorney Edward Schneider and Frank Kelley for the Company were in Washington Tuesday in conference with the Shipbuilding Commission of the War Labor Board. The meeting was informal and strictly limited to discussion of the feasibility and practicability of putting into 0per- ation adjusted learner and laborer rates before the Commission of- ficiaily acts on approval of all the Contract increases.
 Tn order to place these adjust ments into immediate operation the Union would have to agree to the same rates as are standard for the East Coast. These are 8O.5c. 88c, 92c and 08c. The Union wants and the Company has agreed to 81c, 87c. 03c and 99c. While the differences are small there are a number of practical problems involved. No definite results are as yet available as to what advance adjustments If any will be made.
 The fact that the rates which the Union and the Company have Sub- mitted are so close to the new East Coast Standards should give com- plete confidence to all workers in- volved that their long awaited in- creases will ultimately come through. Moreover the Union Is determined that they will be fully retroactive to July 23rd. 1944 in accordance with the Company agreement.

The Union mas received large number of complaints because the January bonus to workers was 4% while the foremen continued to receive their usual 10%s.
 The two systems are entirely diff ferent. The Union attempted but failed to secure the same system the company uses for it's foreman so that the bonuses would be ex- actly the same. This Is prohibited by the Presidential Executive Or der which freezes wages, because it would be the same as a general increase. The only legal incentive system which can be installed any, where since October 1St 1922, is system whereby employees will be paid only for increased produc- tion by increased effort and ad- justed by all variable factors.
 The Company bonus system with its foremen has been in existence since prior to October 1st, 1922, and pays off just for keeping up to existing production levels and not

 The Union Incentive Committee acting jointly with the full execu- tive committee met with O. P. Rob- inson, plant general manager, last Saturday morning. Through At- torney Charles Suisman as spokes- man, the Union presented it's posi- ton on various statistics and fig- ures proporting to show results in January of the increased effort by the workers to achieve increased production.
 Attention of management was directed to possible flaws and loop- holes. The Union submitted revised figures under which slightly high- CT bonus would have been paid. The Company is checking on this and has not arrived at decision as The Sub goes to press. If the Union is found to be correct, the extra amount can be added to the February bonus which will be pay- able about April 1.
 Both the Union and the manage ment have agreed that, despite a slow start. the incentive system is fair and sound and that if the workers will all really get behind it with an increased effort, they will be adequately rewarded.
 The Union was represented at the meeting with the management by President Arthur c. Ward, Vice President George Richard, Clerk Roland Bishop, Business Agent Harold Cruise, Clifford Trasks Douglas Wilbur, Peter O'Malley. William Ebinhaus, Philip Santana eglo, Emile Mahan. Frank Scully and Attorney Charles Suisman.

Company. So far as is known, this Is the only plantwide incentive system in operation and great cred lt Is due to both the Union and the Company for its pioneer effort.
 Some impulsive workers without stopping to think, have expressed suspicion and disgust after learn ing that they would receive only @% in January. Most of the work CTS, however, have realized that an overall incentive plan system in sllipyards Is something which is brand new and is as complicated as building a submarine for the first time. They recognize that rough spots and loopholes are in- evitable and will be corrected.
 Most of the workers have com- plete confidence in the Union and the Company. They know that both are sincere and in good faith. They AlsO know that the Union and the Company devised the incentive sys- tem very carefully and made sure Chat 1t would be fair and just, af- ter 1t really got going.
 The Union and the Company have again analysed every feature of the incentive plan. They assure everybody that the plan will pay of for increased effort producing increased production, both ade- uuately and justly. Everyone must remember that the measuring of production is based upon the monthly Navy progress reports. A submarine takes about year to build. When it is complete and de- 1ivered, the Navy gives a 100% credit. If in any one month, the Navy should happen to underesti- mate the percentage of completion, eventually 1t must make it up be- cause the total when the boat is completed must equal 10O%.
 If. by chance, the measurements of production for January, was un- derstated, then it was only by ac- cident and unintentional. It will be made up in future months. Nobody will be cheated under the incen- tive plan. .

Look For Big
 Bonus in Mar.

The end of March will also mark the. end of the three months trial period of the incentive system. It has been an experiment. This IS frankly admitted by the Union and the Com{ any. However, there has been clo4e observation and scrutiny over all hese operations under the incentive system rests upon a firm and solid foundation.
 From close observation the union leaders confidently expect thas March will be the banner month and a big intensive drive is being inaugurated. Every union depart mental representative is chairman of the departmental incentive com- mittee where he is located. Repress entatives are requested to concens trate particularly upon extra effort in March
 Attention is called to the fact that there is no longer any ceiling upon the amount of bonus which can be earned.
 If all workers really get behind the incentive plan and give their best every day all month long there is no reason why all existing pro- duction records cannot be passed.
 In fact, 1t is perfectly possible. to increase production over and above the standard which is used to measure the bonus by as much as thirty per cent in single month. If this were accomplished every- body participating would get 20% bonus.
 Does this sound fantastic? Well, 1t would be reality if everybody gets behind the incentive plan and gets going.
 LETS GIVE THE INCENTIVE PLAN A FAIR TRIAL AND A BIG BOOST IN MARCH. LETS MAKE 2o% EXTRA THIS MONTH";

 A delay has occurred in sched- uling of a meeting between the Union and the Company to settle this issue because both the Union Attorney and the Company Attor- ney have been in Washington be- fore the War Labor Board on at least three different occasions in reference to other contract mat terS.

Labor Board Wants Painters Records

At the hearing before the Ship building Commission of the War Labor Board at Washington in Feb ruary, during which the Company and the Union argued the issue of retroactivity of the painters dirty money, the Shipbuilding Commis- sion advised both parties that the allowance of extra dirty money for special painting work at the rate of dollar a day was subject which should have been submitted in it's entirety for approval by the commission. Hence. the War Labor Shipbuilding Commission will pass on the whole problem rather than the limited question of retroactiv- fly.
 The Union has always recognized and belived that this adjustment did require w. L. B. approval. However, the Company had aS- sumed that since it was already paying dirty money to some work CTS, 1t was not really a new wage rate. Hence, no governmental ap- proval was needed.
 At the hearing, it also developed that the Commission was greatly interested in the existence or non- existence of Company records from which it could be ascertained what workers were entitled to retroac- tive dirty money should the Com mission decide in favor of the Un- ion. The Company argued that 1t had no records to furnish this in- formation. The Union claimed that even though the Company may not have kept this information on 1t payroll time sheets, yet the infor- nation could be obtained from the daily cost charge records which should and do show what work was done on each day by every single worker in every single pro- duction department.
 Before the hearing adjourned, the Commission directed that the Union and the Company meet to- gether and see exactly what rec ords are available and then make a report of the joint findings to the Commission to become a part of the records in the dispute case. The Union expects to get this find- ing made and filed within the next week or two.

How ever, the foremena bonus is lim- ited to 1OeS. The wrOkers' incen- tive system is not so limited and if there is enough increased effort it would be possible for the work CTS to make more than the foremen In the form of bonus; even twice as much is possible.
