D. {. Will Be Eligible
For $1,000, Grants
Under Highway Act

The District government will be
eligible for grants totaling nearly
S., 100000 for postwar road work
under the terms of the Federal Aid
Highway Act as finally passed yes
terday by the House and Senate,
congressional officials calculated to-
day.
This estimate is about $1,000, ,000l
below the District grant anticipat-
ed under the original bill approved
earlier by the Senate despite the
fact that the final national au-
thorization is greater than that in
the old Senate bill. This, it was
said, is due to changes in nation
al allocations according to the type
of roads to be developed.
Nationally, three-year $3,173,-
250,000 postwar highway program
was authorized in the bill on which
Legislative action was completed late
yesterday when the Senate followed
House action in approving a con-
ference report on the bill.
Under this, the Government would
spend $1,673 3,250,000 over a three
year period and the States, includ-
ing the District, $500 100000. The
major part Of the Governments
money, $500, 100000 for each of the
three postwar years-would be
matched on a $3.50 basis by the |
States.
OF this amount, $225 100000 a
year would be available for match
ing for projects on the regular
Federal aid highway system, $780,
100000 for secondary, feeder and
farm-to-market roads, and $685.
100000 for urban roads. In addi-
ton to the matching program, the
measure authorizes $173,2500o0 in
Federal funds for park, forest and
Indian reservation roads for the
three years.
Under the conference report plan,
now to go to the White House for
signature, it was estimated the Dis
trict's shares would be about ST.
097,000 for projects connected with
the Federal aid highway system;
$731 900 for feeder and farm-to-
market classiflcations, and $1,153 900
for urban roads, making a total of
81, ,o81 900,

All New Rates Not Appealed Go Into Immediate Effect

The Union has filed an appeal on all increased rates which the Shipbuilding Commission of the War Labor Board rejected in the joint application of the Company and the Union.
 However, both the Union and the Company were in agreement that all rates which were grant ed and not appealed from should go into immediate effect without awaiting the outcome of the ap- peal. The Company expressed some doubt as to whether or not this could be done.
 Accordingly, this question was taken up by Union Attorney Charles .Suisman and Company Attorney Edward c. Schneider, in Washington, with the Shipbuild- ing Commission.
 Originally the Commission took the position that all rates not ap- pealed from could not go into inn mediate effect on account of the appeal. However, at the insist ence of Attorney Charles Suisman, this technical point of procedure was taken up with higher officials in the National War Labor Board. Then the Unions claims were substantiated and the Commission informed the Company that all rates not directly involved in an appeal could go into immediate effect. This cleared up a prob lem which has been troubling hundreds of workers who have a considerable sum of back money coming to them and are anxious to collect.

In consideration of equity it is permissible to designate the last two days occurring during the short work week as time-and- half and double time shifts respec- lively.

 The Union was represented at the session in New York by spe- cial committee consisting of Presi- dent Arthur c. Ward, William Eb- binghaus, Philip Santangelo, both of the Executive Committee, and Union Attorney Charles Suisman. This committee secured immediate approval of the Unions claim. As a result of this victory, back over- time amounting to about $5O.000 will be paid to all Electric Boat Company hourly workers includ- ing the small minority groups. which are represented by labor or ganizations other than the Ship Builders and Marine Engineers union.

NWLB Gives Union Full Control of Incentive System

Officials of the National War La bor Board have reaffirmed the Union that no incentive system will be continued in any plant or ship yard over the objection of the Union.
 Accordingly the Union has it within it's power to notify the Shipbuilding Commission at any time that it does not wish to have the incentive system continued. Upon such notice the Commission cannot renew the system beyond the three month period then in operation.
 The Union was anxious to ob- tain confirmation of it's legal rights in this matter because of the keen disappointment now prevalent with the results.

 Prior to May 8. 1944. the reg ular work week at a shipyard be- gan on Thursday and ended on Wednesday. Beginning as of Mon- day, May 8, the work week was changed to begin on Monday and end On Sunday. There resulted from this change a partial work week of four days (Thursday, May 4, to Sunday, May 2, inclusive) , which was not counted in com putting a sixth or seventh shift. Employees thus worked nine con- secutive days at straight time.
 The Union contends that the employees who worked on Satur- day, May ', should have received time and a half and double time respectively for those days occur ring at the end of the short work week. The company, in a letter to the Navy Department, expressed doubt about its authority to grant premium pay during the short

Union Achieves Victory on Overtime Case from WIPE

A quick, decisive and clear-cut victory has just been achieved by the Shipbuilders and Marine Engi- neers Union in the recent overtime muddle. The trouble arose in the changeover of the commencement of the work week early in May, so that the work week should begin on Monday, instead of Thursday.
 To accomplish the changeover, the Company inaugurated an ab- breviated work week in the per- iod which began Thursday, May 4th, and ended Sunday, May 7th.
 This work week did not contain any sixth or seventh shifts, with the result that the Company re- fused to pay overtime that week end.
 The Union promptly referred the matter to the Shipbuilding Stabilization Committee of the WIPE. This agency is not the same as the Shipbuilding Commission of the War Labor Board. The WIPE has exclusive jurisdiction upon

\. Independent Union Staff Kep-'
 Staff Representation
 MT. Henry J. Meyer, Chief of the Panel Review Section of the Disputes Division, and formerly Executive Assistant to the Board, has been assigned as liaisou off, cer for independent unions, to answer inquiries regarding cases before the National Board. Each Regional Board has been instruct ed to announce publicly the desig- nation of the Assignment Officer of it's Dispute Division, or some other appropriate staff member as the independent union 1iaison of- ficer in the Region.
 III. Independent Union Representa-
 ton on Tripartite Board
 Committees
 In any case coming before the Review, Appeals, or Post Direc- tive Committee of the National Board involving an independent union an independent union rep resentative will be desigated, on request of the union involved in the case, to sit as the labor repre- sentative of such committee during consideration of the case. The ap- propriate liaison officer will at- tend to carrying this out.
 HI. Unfair Organizing Tactics
 It is the policy of the Board to accord equality of treatment to all Unions, whether affiliated or independent. The Board therefore unanimously condemns organizing tactics of any union based upon claim of preferred treatment by this Board. Whenever instances o1 tactics of this sort are brought to the Boards attention the Board will take prompt and appropriate action.

To date the employees Of k. b. have taken home over seven mill lion dollars worth of War Bonds plus an additional two million dollars worth issued by the Fed eral Credit Union.
 Therefore, all employees who have participated in the first four War Loan Drives must now real ize that their accumulation of War Bonds are now growing into a very secure and sizable figure and they are thankful that they have been fortunate to have made such a fine investment for the Post war.
 We here at Electric Boat also realize how easy it has been for us to do our part in this war by doing our jobs daily and investing in our country. We lave been reminded .on many occasions of the fine records our SUBS have achieved on their dangerous pa- trols and we have also been in- formed of the sad occasions when one of our SUBS has been sent to 'Davy Jones' Locker" in line of duty. All this is a reminder that every E. B. SUB is our personal representative in this war-there- fore, all of us should do our best in our work and in our bond buy ing in memory of those who gave EVERYTHING when our nine SUBS gave their ALL.

 The QUA has been very helpful to independent unions on its mail- ing list by mail distribution of im- portant releases and forms which independent unions need.
 There has been considerable local interest evidenced upon the thought that the East Coast Al. iance of Independent Shipyards Unions of America and Confeder- ated Union of America should promptly work out an effective connecting link which can greatly benefit both organizations.

w. Independent Union Represen~
 tatiOn on Tripartite Panels
 In dispute cases involving aR independent union the Boards practice has been, upon the re. quest of the union, to appoint an independent union representative as the labor member of the tripar- tite dispute panel As provided in the Boards rules of procedure this practice Is applicable in cases pending before the Regional Boards and Commissions as we'll as in cases handled directly by the National Board. In only about half the cases involving independ- ent unions have requests been made for independent union rep- resentation on the panels. In or- der to facilitate the carrying out of the rules the Board is instruct. ing its liaison officer for inde- pendent unions and the similar n- aison officers to be designated in the regions to inquire of the inc dependent union in each National Board or Regional Board dispute case whether it desires an inde. pendent union representative to be named on the panel and, if so, whom 1t would recommend. Since some of the Boards industry com- missions sometimes hear dispute cases directly, without the uti1i- zation of a tripartite panel, the Board is instructing the commis- Sions in all dispute cases involv- ing independent unions to appoint such panel if so requested by the independent union, with an independent union representative as the labor member thereof.
 V. Arbitration of Disputes Be.
 tween Independent Unions
 and Affiliated Unions.
 Disputes between independent unions and affiliated unions on the question of collective bargain ing rights do not come before the War Labor Board but are decided by the National Labor Relations Board under the terms of the Wagner Act. In the extremely rare cases in which other types of conflicts between independent unions and affiliated unions come before the War Labor Board, the Boards practice has been to refer these disputes to an arbitrator for final determination, in accordance with the Boards practice in jur. isdictional disputes between affil- lated unions. Lest there be any misunderstanding on this point the Board hereby reaffirms this policy.

Paid Holidays Unsettled for Maintenance

The Union and the Company had jointly requested the Shipbuilding Commission of the War Labor Board to approve change in the contract SO that maintenance em- ployees would get paid holidays in the same way as other employees.
 All workers covered by the Union contract except this group receive a full days pay for five holidays during the year. These holidays are July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. If they work on these holidays they also get time and one half for working, so that the total amount they collect is double time and one half. The Union and the Company both wanted to eliminate the discrimination against the maintenance men.
 - At first the Shipbuilding Com mission ruling seemed to indicate that the Commission had ap- p> wed the request. However, it's language was ambiguous, and 1t was necessary to ask the Com mission for clarification. It then developed that members of the Commission did not fully under stand the situation, and are in dis agreement. Accordingly, this will be another matter which the Commission will reconsider.
