ness and intelligence.
Maurice Verenocke and Joe
Card were standing in the plant
yard neartheir truck pEePafa-
tory to starting a trip, when
they heard a peculiar sound
some distance away. 1t was in
distinct, yet it puzzled them, so
they moved closer.
Next door to the Bell property
is the former auto sales lot that
ANDY" Anderson used TO run,
long since abandoned. In the
center of it stands shed, locked
and bolted tight.
AS the Bell workers ap-
preached the shed the peculiar
sounds resolved themselves
into the crying of a child
but very muffled. They
glanced into the shed, and al
though they could see nothing
human inside, were positive
the noise was coming from
there.
The two discovered a sec
ton at the base of the shed wall
where children or dogs had dug
beneath it. The space was large
enough for a child to enter.
NerenOcke isn't big man
in fact his friends kid
him about being a shorty"
but this was one OCca-
sion when Shorty" was
worth his weight in gOld-if
human life can be estimated
SO cheaply.
Maurice went under the wall
and up on the inside Of the shed.
Its sole piece of furniture
was heavy, Old-fashiOned
rOll-tOp desk, damned tightly
shut The cries of a child
came plainly from the inside.
Slipping back the catch, which
was closed, Maurice forced open
the heavy roll top and a
beWildered, sweating, exhausted
boy of six or seven years tum-
bled out, his face smeared with
mud and sweat and lined with
the tears he had shed for
countless hours in the darkness
of a tomb.
VerenOcke quickly dragged
him to the blessed sunshine
outside, and after a few gulps
of fresh air, the lad felt Ill
right and insisted on heading
for home :.
All he would explain before
he left was that two older boys
had been playing with him in
the shed, and had locked him in
the desk and gone away "a
long time ago." How long
ago, he didn't know.
Whether everyone agrees
with us or not, we still con-
tend there was a life saved
that day because two
men were alert and intelli-
gent. Congratulations to
them!
BACK IN 1913 Charlie Mike
lait's alleged cocker spaniel CHS
friends kid him about its ugli-
ness) returned home without
its 1943 tag, apparently having
lost it. 1t was number 256, so
the Mikelaits soon obtained a
duplicate. Last week, they re-
ceived a letter from Brecken-
ridge, near Lansing, informing
them that their cocker spaniel,
license 256-1943, had been
found wandering near there,
and is being held in a good
home for them. Well, the Mike
laits' spaniel CD is safely home,
and the other dog must be wear
ing the old '43 tag which was
lost here, and which some child
probably found and hung on its
dog as an ornament. Anyway,
the owner of that dog is invit-
ed to phone the Mikelaits at
1885. They are very anxious to
insure that the people get their
dog back -. through a lost
1913 tag.

BoardWon' 'tRule On Grievances In Industrial Cases
VILE. Expects Labor And Industry To Settle Its
 Single Disputes

The WLB has served notice on la bor and industry that it does not propose to settle individual griev- ance case arising under collective bargaining contracts and that it ex- poets plants to have adequate ma chlnery for settling such individual disputes.
 If individual grievances reach the WLB, the board will consider them, if at all, primarily from the point of view of the establishment of effective grievance machinery within the plant," the WLB stated in resolution unanimously adopt ed.
 Tt is the established policy of the National War Labor Board,"- the resolution stated, to require that grievances which can be settled under the established procedures of a col lectlve bargaining agreement be set tied in that manner without recourse to the procedures of the board"
 It asserted that the WLB expects that, even in the absence of estab- lished grievance procedures. griev- ances will be settled through direct negotiation or voluntary arbitra- ton.

Workers Set New Production Mark
 In Aircraft Field
Total Of 9118 Planes Weighing 1O3, OOO Pounds In March-Figure Is 9 Per Cent Above February,
 Previous HighEOutput Per Man Increases

American workers aircraft pro- duction in March set an all-time monthly record both in weight and number of planes, C. E. Wilson, chairman of the Aircraft PrOduc- ton Board, announced this week. For the first time number of planes turned out in a month exceeded the 5000 mark, with total of 9,ll8 planes of all types. Also for the first time production topped the 100, 900, ,OOO pound mark in terms of airframe weight. The March total of lO3, ,4OO,O pounds was more than nine per cent above Feb ruary, the previous high.
 Wilson congratulated the aircraft industry for producing more bomb CTS, more fighters, and more trans ports in March than in any previous month. He said all companies had made up their production schedules ana some had in notable instances, exceeded them on strategically re quired ships.
 ''In the cast of the fOur-mOtor bOmbers alone, which is, of course, one of the most important items in the whole list, the production was actually exceeded from the sched- uled amounts by approximately five per cent" he said. ''The whole production schedule for the month was exceeded by approximately one and a half per cent" This, he explained, was in numbers of planes.
 Output per man, Wilson pointed out, is substantially more now than in the beginning of the aircraft pro duction Improved production rates he attributed to the fact that aircraft companies are becoming more and more familiar with the. types of planes they are manufacturing and are getting the benefit of the results of the program of standardization followed for long period.
 In line with recent strategic em- phasis, Wilson pointed out, 86.5 per cent of the total number of air craft produced were tactical types, representing bombers, fighters and transports. It was not anticipated, he said, that the March record would be matched in April, chiefly because of almost total discOntinu- ance in production of certain types of planes, particularly trainer types. Total airframe weight planned for the April production schedule would, however, be as high as that for March.

Coolidge's Ghost
 Walks In Boston

BOSTON-Police here who have been trying to join an AFL union came up against the stone wall of department rules as interpreted by Police Commissioner Thomas F. Sul- livan.
 The commissioner warned city po- licemen of dire results If any of them broke a regulation forbidding them to join unions. The regulation dates back to 1919 and was passed shortly after the Boston police strike which started Calvin Coolidge, then gov ernor of the state, on his way to the White House.
 Organizer William V. Ward of the American Federation of State, Coun- ty & Municipal Employees charged that the anti-union rule violates the Wagner act we believe" he said, that policemen have just as much right to organize as have letter car riers. Even the Massachusetts labor laws permit that"

Wage Adjustments
 "Okayed" By VinsOn

A blanket "okay' was given this week by Economic Stabilizer Fred M. Vinson to certain types of wage ad- justments ordered by the National War Labor Board, even where these may cause higher prices.
 Vinson has power to override w. L. B. awards in cases where em- ployers demand price increases to cover wage boosts, but some time ago he began to approve the Little Steep formula, correct sub stand ards or some up to "sound and tested going rates" for the locality.
 In addition, Vinson has now ex- tended the advance approval to lib- eralized vacation plans, payment of night shift bonuses, premium rates for overtime and similar adjustments, even though price boosts result, pro vlded the improved standards are in line with prevailing industrial prac- tiCeS.

Machiniists Put Off Meeting Shooting Stops
Pres. Brown Sends Out Ap- peal For Adoption Of ''No
 Initiation" For Veterans

By a 3-to-1 majority, members of the International Association of Ma chinists have voted to postpone the organizations quadrennial convention, normally scheduled for September, 1914. Results of the balloting were announced by President Harvey w.. Brown and Secretary Treasurer E.. C. Davison.
 A referendum on the question had been ordered by the I. A. M. executive council, because of the fact that hostilities are likely to reach critical stage by September and it may be difficult for the hum dreds of delegates to break away from their vital war jobs.
 Brown and Davison declared that, ln accordance with decision made by the council, a special convention will be called after the shooting ends to act not only on internal matters affecting the union, but on urgent postwar problems that will then con- front all organized labor.
 These problems, the council said, will include tremendous government debts, an inevitable army of unem- ployed, and possible drastic changes in the economic and social system.
 Among other I. A. M. develop ments this week was action of Pres ident Brown in sending out an ap- peal to all Machinists' lodges to act promptly in carrying out a policy laid down by the executive council that returning veterans, not now members, who enter jobs coming within the unions jurisdic- ton, shall be admitted into the organization without payment of an initiation fee.
 The councils stand was taken, Brown explained, to express in a small way the appreciation of the L. A. M. for the service that the men Tn the armed forces have rendered to our country and to the cause of free dom."
 ''This country is deeply in- debted,' Brown said, ''tO those who have left their homes and families, their jobs, their friends and loved ones to fight the battle for free dom and our way of life. The haz- ards they have faced, the sacri- fees they have made and are ready to make, even unto death, certainly merit the action taken by the ex- ecutive council"
