Union Awaits

It is now over a month since the Union has filed formal charges with the National Labor Relations Board against the Electric Boat Company, asking that the Com pany be prosecuted under the Ma tional Labor Relations Act for it's unfair labor practices in dis charging the three Union officers and suspending twenty-one other workers for a period of three days because of their strike activity.
 When the charges were received by the National Labor Relations Board they requested the Union to furnish complete statement of facts.
 The complete statement of facts was prepared in detail by Union counsel, Charles Suisman, and filed in Boston at once.
 The Union is looking forward for early action.

Fair Play
 As Always

The Shipbuilders' and Marine Engineers Union that was recent ly commended for its quiet and orderly STRIKE should take an- other bow for their fair minded and generous offer in allowing the two large National Organizations to participate with them on a ball. lot for representation of the work CTS at the Electric Boat Company. The SMEU guaranteed not to cam- paign or to in any way attempt to influence the Electric Boat Com pany Employees away from Ma tional utilization.
 A vote for a national affilia- ton was passed by the General Committee of the SMEU after the outrage performed by the E. B. Management in discharging the President, Vice President and Clerk of their Union after the STRIKE.
 The desire for National Affilia- ton and protection is very evident in this yard by the vote of Sep- tember 9th. Right after the pri- mary voting the Executive Commit tee and General Committee were released from their neutral stand and were given permission to elec- tioneer for the Organization they thought best suited to represent the workers both now and in the POST WAR PERIOD. The Union Executive Committee further pledged that when the voting was over and a National tie-up-@had been chosen that they would again meet as lone in thought" for the welfare of their fellow-work- CTS.

Even the Stars Can Cry

Even the Stars can cry for you; As they look down from the skies for you How can they see through the shot and the shell, How can they know you, how can they tell? Once we could count them over and over, As we reclined on a bed of clover; And make our wish as each tiny star fell, We were enchanted, under their spell. But now the heavens are full of flax, We must not remember, must not look back; And someday, my love, when the war is won, We'll count the stars again, one by onei

The Peoples Verdict
(EDITORIAL)

The election is over. More
than forty million citizens cast
their votes and, by majority OF
well over two million, reelected
President Roosevelt for a fourth
term.
The election was hard fought,
but it's over now and all that re-
mains is to pay off election bets,
settle back into stride and get
back to the all-important task Of
winning the war.
Those of us who supported
Governor Dewey have the salts
faction of knowing that he put
up a magnificent fight and that
he materially reduced the normal
Democratic majorities in several
States. But we live, thank God,
in a Democratic country, where
the majority rules, and that ma
jority having been given in no
uncertain terms to President
Roosevelt, it is up to us to forget,
as soon as we can, the bitterness
of defeat and get solidly behind
the Government and our Armed
Forces in their prosecution of the
war and the winning of the Peace.
