expects to receive that work in exchange for the pay. It refuses to allow the thousands of good American employees to carry the load for the chronic loafers.
 Analysis
 When an employee is l0afing, 1t is due to one of the following causes:
 1. He is naturally lazy: he has no interest In doing his bit to win the War. He Is very willing to let someone else carry his load, and is perfectly willing to have his su- pervisors get black eye for his lack On interest.
 ACTION: Fire him. Selective Service has work for him If he Is thirty-eight or under.
 2. He is of the type that will work only when watched. Always found very busy by his supervi- Sor. but work produced in the ab- sence Of direct supervision Is small, if any.
 ACTION: Fire him. He also can find a job in the Army.
 3. He Is new on the job and has not had time to be fully bro ken in.
 ACTION: The Supervisor should see that he gets more instruction of a helpful character.
 4. He is willing to work but has insufficient work assigned to him.
 (a) The Supervisor has too many employees for the work in hand.
 ACTION: The Supervisor should determine the number required and transfer the surplus through the Personnel Department to e Department short of employees.
 (b) The Supervisor has too
 many employees to permit of adequate supervision.
 ACTION: The Foreman or Gen. eral Foreman should rectify this situation promptly.
 (c) The Supervisor has the correct number of employees
 but has his work spread over too great an area for adequate supervision.
 ACTION: The Foreman or General Foreman Is at fault in planning such spread. He should correct the situation immediately.
 (O The Supervisor, due to one cause or another, is unable to follow the work procedure to which he is accustomed. re- sulting in his men not having enough, to do. (Alibi: waiting for materiaP).
 ACTION: The Supervisor must spend more time in planning his work to fully utilize the man hours

Why Strike? = When Should 2nd Shift Be Paid?

When the Company changed It's pay day, it told the Executive Com mittee that later on It might be able to pay the second shift on Friday nights instead of on Satur- day nights so that checks could be cashed. When the Company was re- minded about this, 1t refused to do this, claiming that 1t would increase absenteeiSm. The Union asked the Company to give it 8 trial for one month and that if paying the sec ond shift on Friday nights in- creased absenteeism on Saturdays during a month trial period. 1t would forget all about 1t. The Com pany did not give 1t trial period. Is this stubbornness? Is this fair dealing with workers?

also wonder since when b the Electric Boat Company running the Selective service or draft boards in deciding who should go into the Army. Does the Electric Boat Company believe that if 1t does mot choose to employ someone 1t can place him in the Army?
 Apparently, the Electric Boat Company believes this and also believes that workers are thieves. Don't miss the last line just be- fore o. P. Robinson's signature in the following secret order from o. P. Robinson to supervisors.
 STATEMENT OF POLICY AND
 OUTLINE OF ANALYSIS FOR
 USE IN ENFORCING POLICY
 The Company's policy is not complicated; it is simply that when an employee accepts work at a fixed rate of pay. the Company

of his employees in spite of pro- duction difficulties.
 Gel The Supervisor Is rela-
 lively now on the job but
 shows good promise.
 ACTION: The Foreman or Gen. eral Foreman should give him the helping hand he requires, and closely watch his progress.
 (G The Supervisor hasn't
 the ability to plan for a group
 of employees.
 ACTION: The Supervisor was unquestionably selected because of his record as a. mechanic; he should be given an opportunity to go back with the tools, and a re- placement should be found for him.
 (g) The Supervisor spends
 most of his time worrying
 about his personal problems.
 His selection for the position
 was an error in judgment.
 ACTION: Replace him immedi- ately.
 There Is no alibi for loafing that holds water. Either the man or supervision Is at fault. Be fair then fire one.
 The above is an outline to fol- low in determining where the fault is when there is loafing. This outline considers that every Su- pervisor knows whether or not an employee is loafing and that if he does not. he is not capable of being Supervisor. Loafing does not only mean hiding when the boss isn't in evidence; and stand ing idly by except when driven to work; it means also such activi- ties as taking two to three times aS long on errandS as required; aimless wandering about with the appearance of being occupied: talk ing unnecessary time off to obtain drink of water; go to the toilet: smoke; find sandwich; visit. etc.. etc.
 A loater In your Department gives you a black eyej jeopardizes your position and the positions of those along the line; makes the job harder for those who are will ing to accept their responsibility to their country. and apart from stealing wages from the Company, he is taking money out of your pocket by canceliing in part your effort. which has been sufficient to earn a production bonus if you had not had to carry his lost man hours. In short, he Is a thief why be lenient?

Allied forces have WreSted ap-

away from Japans bloodily-

but there's still a long way 10 60
before she's cut down to the size
promised by United Nations
leaders-her own homeland ter
ritory.
The whiting process began
with the American invasion Of
Guadalcanal and adjoining is
lands in the lower Solomons in
August, 1912. The latest cut
was made in this weeks Yankee
landings in the Admiralty Is
lands in the Bismarck Sea some
LOO miles to the northwest.
Between the date of those two
invasions three major Allied of
fensive daggers have been
thrust ever nearer the Japanese
homeland-one up through the
Southern Pacific Islands, an
other through the Gilbert and
Marshall Islands, and third to
the tip of the Aleutians, point

From Guadalcanal and adj
joining Tulagi the advance was

forced the enemy from about a
third of New Guinea and leaped
over to New Britain, which now
