Urge Strong March Finish

March will be the final month in the three month trial period for the incentive system. When the March results are available. the Union and the Company will re- view the results for January. Feb ruary, and March, and will make a report to the War Labor Board and then a decision will be reached as to whether the incen- tive system shall be continued, dis continued or changed.
 It Is already apparent that thou sands of local workers have really put in an increased effort to in- crease production. It is also evi- dent that there is still a lazy. sell fish minority that have not coop erated and who have thereby cut down the amount of bonus which should have been received by their fellow workers.

tract and the subject of retroac. tivity to July 9, 1943, of all in- creaseS, will be taken up by the Union before the War Labor Board ShipbulIding Commission in Wash- ington on March 20
 The change in rates for learners and laborers received advance att tention by the Shipbuilding Com" mission because the Navy consid- CTS the Electric Boat Company one of it's critical shipyards and asked the Shipbuilding Commission to put higher rates for beginners in- to effect immediately in order to attract additional new employee&
 Learner rates which have gone into temporary effect are B1c for beginners during the first thirty days of employment; 84c after first thirty days, then 88c, 92c and 99c. The Union Is confident that when a decision is announced after the hearing of March 20, 1t will order all retroactive money between July B, 1943. and February 18, l944s to be paid in one lump sum as in the case of retroactive money in the other .claSsiications which will be heard on March 20. The Union position for retroactive money N much stronger than 1t has been be- fore.

a considerable portion of this time in ably doing his duties in the Maintenance Pipe Fitting Shop, where, since 1928, he had advanced continuously from First-Class Pipe Filter to Assistant Foreman Of Pipe Filters.
 Really, Charlie made his work ing acquaintance with the Electric Boat Company away back in the memorable year of 1917. At that time, he worked as a Pipe Filter for one year, and again in the lean years following World War l. for two and-a-haf years; then in 1928, he began an interrupted period of service, which terminated only with his recent, voluntary retire ment.
 At high noon, March 8, right in his good old pipe fitting shop. and amid a sizeable gathering of his men associates, and friends, from his and other departments, as well as office personnel, Charlie was presented handsome Elgin gold watch. To the watch was attached fine chain, bearing charm with the Masionic emblem Accompany ing the whole was handsome framed plaque, on which was in- scribed both a Well-earned eulogy and touching farewell. Appended to the bottom of the plaque were the. signatures of 60 well-wiShers, in scriphlral hand-shake that will endure through the years.
 Tn a brief but expressive open ing speech, Frank Delaporta intro .duced Charlie Davies, who fitting ly supplemented Franks words with more good words, and the goods-the watch and inscribed plaque aforesaid.
 From the plaque. we quote:
 Charlie, we the undersigned have placed our signatures upon this plaque in sincere recognition of you as a man who for fifteen years has commanded the deepest respect and admiration of your fellow workmen, your subordin- ates, your Superiors and all who have had occasion to be your as- sociates. The benefits of your time and efforts spent here have been two fold. Your benefits to the Company are great and wide, as your long period of service stands witness, but there is also benefit you have given that no one of us can measure or weigh. It Is what you have given us. in time re- moved and in time to come until the hour arrives we will no longer meet in our common cause here at work, in the teachings we re-

Discuss Procedure Of Grievance Com. Meeting With Co.

A meeting was held on Tuesday between the Executive Committee of the Union and the management of the Electric Boat Company on the subject of a formal procedure in the conduct of the regular grievance committee meetings.
 Under the wording of the agree~ ment between the Union and the Company, any grievances which reached the Executive Commit tee of the Union and the Manage ment and were not then satisfac- tori1y adjusted between them, then are automatically referred to the president of the Electric Boat Company.
 At the first grievance committee meeting under the contract, num- Der of grievances which were nos adjusted satisfactorily to the Un- ion were immediately referred to the president of the Company.
 The Company has now reached the conclusion that the grievance committee should have a formal record and minutes of it's actions on the grievances before they are referred. The matter is undeR consideration by the Union.

This wage review was ordered by the full panel of the National War Labor Board in July. 194S, at the same time as 1t denied gem eral increase to shipyard workers.
 Since that time approval of any wage adjustments in all the East Coast shipyards has been held up pending the completion of the wage review. It is now expected that the wage contracts in all the East Coast shipyards will be acted upon promptly and approved, dis approved or revised, in accordance with the conclusions which the Shipbuilding Commission has ar- rived at. The Commission has pending before it. not only the ap- proval of the local agreement be- tween the Shipbuilders Union and the Electric Boat Company, but al- so agreements for practically every major East Coast shipyard between the respective independent unions, the A. F. of L. and the c. I. O. or ganizations depending upon which one holds the exclusive bargaining rights.
 Among the conclusions reached, the following standard brackets appear, standard first class me- chanic $1.2O, second class SLIP, third class $1.04;S handyman first class .98, second class .92. helpers

It is also apparent that the inn. possibility of exactly measuring by months the amount of production may have affected the amount oe the bonus. However, sooner OF later, any under estimate as to amount of production will have to be corrected. and when they are corrected, the workers will get the full benefits of their efforts. The incentive system is designed 30 that in long run 1t will pay off exactly for what is produced.
 The Union Incentive Committee strongly urges all workers to give their very best and make a real strong finish during March in or- der to prove that local workers are doing their best to help the war effort and at the same timss help themselves.

Incentive System Can Be Changed First of April

Tn the contract between the Groton Shipbuilders Union and the Electric Boat Company. 1t is expressly provided that the incen- tive system, which went into op- eration on January l, was on a three months trial basis. At the end of the three-month trial per iod, the results are to be jointly reviewed to determine whether the plan should be continued or dis continued or changed.
 The War Labor Board approval of the incentive system also makes it mandatory that results of the three months operation should be reported to this body which has power to decree whether it will be continued.
 In other words. the Union. the Company and the Shipbuilding commission of the War Labor Board all will individually have an opportunity and a right to see what shall happen to the bonus plan.
 All Union members representa- tives and officers who have any ideas or thoughts on this subject, especially with reference to the improvement of the incentive sys- tenn should transmist their sugges- tions to the Union Incentive Com mittee at once. The committee consists of Peter O'Malley, chair man, President Arthur c. Ward, Business Agent Harold Cruise and Frank Scully.

This hearing will not be @ con- test. Instead both the Union and the Company will jointly request, recommend and urge the Ship building Commission to immedi- ately approve all the increase which were jointly submitted last December.
 In addition both the Union and the Company will ask the Ship building Commission to make all increases fully retroactive to July 23rd, 1914, in the case of every single adjustment including the learners and laborers new rates which are already in effect under . Navy priority.
 The new rates for which the Union and the Company will joint 1y seek retroactive approval in- clude $1.2O, $1.11 and $1.O5 per hour for 1st, End and 3rd class Burners, Drillers, Erectors and Generator Operators; Foundry Chippers and Furnace Strikers rates to be increased to SLIP, $i.05 and .97 for 1st. End and 3rd class; Melters to SLIP, Stagebuilders to $1.11 and $1.05 for 1st and End class.
 The Union and the Company are further asking that Bremen, Truck Drivers and Brakemen be in- creased to $1.05 and 95c and that Watchmen and Guards be paid .95, .87 and .81. Tn addition a num- Der of increases for Apprentices are sought.
 Finally it is intended to raise all clerical employees now receiving from AS to $1.00 per hour in ac- cordance with the following table: Present Rate Proposed Increased

Sneu Attacks Discipline Suspensions

As a result of complaints by workers, the s. M. E. U. is in- ~vestigating what appears to have become management practice of suspending employees for six-day periods.
 Under the War Man Power Com mission program which is in effect in this area, any workers who has been discharged, or has been laid off for an indefinite period, or a period of seven days or more is entitled to have issued a statement of availability by his employer so that he can secure 8 new defense position immediately. This provi- sion is intended to effectuate the purpose of the employment stab ilization program and particularly the object of accomplishing max imum utilization of man power re- sources.
 It appears that the regulations, may, in instances, be used for oth- CT ulterior motives.
 The Union is insisting upon the establishment of a reasonable dis cipline policy without circumven- tion of the program for maximum utilization of man power resources.
