 to be a busy day with two meet hgs to cover. Number one was the meeting of the Office En- ployees local, held at Tusana Hall in New London. This particular crowd was a little late in getting started with their organization, but they are now hitting their stride and show every promise of being one of the bigger and stronger locals at the Electric Boat Company. Sundays meeting was a well attended and enthusiastic af- fair. Several important communi- cations from Washington were read, one of which was the cause of great rejoicing for office work CTS. MT. Al Bradt, from the Re- gional office of the American Fed eration of Labor, was on hand to elaborate on this one. The letter was from MT. William Green, President of the American Feder- atiOn of Labor, and was the first public announcement locally that the Office Employees had recently been granted their own Interna- tiOnal Charter. This means that the white collar workers have proven through their organization efforts they are power to be dealt with. It means that the American Federation of Labor ap- preciates this fact, 1t means that the American Federation of La- bor has confidence in the white collar group. To the white collar workers at the Electric Boat Go. 1t means that they are extremely lucky to be affiliated with such a powerful International Brother hood. Mir. Bradt went to great de- tail explaining the difference be- tween Federal Charter and Inter- national Brotherhood Charter. He explained that under the new set- up the Office Employees will have the services of an experi- enced International Representative who would be we'll versed in the problems of this group. This alone will mean much to the clerks, as very often negotiating commit tees do not include an experienced white collar man or woman. Those in attendance were unanimous in their belief that under this new plan every clerk at the Electric Boat Co. would avail himself of this opportunity to help himself

and his fellow worker by joining the local Office Employees Union.
 With the Office Employees Union off to a good start and the preliminary Organizational work completed three officers begged to be relieved of their duties. All three had previously announced that they would resign as soon as the Local was well established and agreed to serve on a temporary basis. John A. Gilger, financial secretary and treasurer; Joseph Harrington, recording and corres- bonding secretary, and Peter F. O'Ma1ley, president, resigned be- cause of pressure of other duties. MT. Gilger is chief clerk in the engineering division. MT. Har- rington is a time clerk in the same division and Is also chairman of the Sub paper committee. MT. O'Malley is president of The Ship builders and Marine Engineers Union GA. F. of L.) and associate editor of the Sub. MT. Gilger was succeeded by Mir. Gleason of the Second Shift, Victory Yard. Mir. Harrington's successor Is Mir. Whipp, also of the Victory Yard. Michael J. McGarry of the Pay Department, was named to suc- ceed Mir. O'Malley as president. MT. Harrington was named to the publicity committee and instructed to publicize news of importance to office employees In the Sub. MT. Harrington's column will appear in the issue preceding the next reg u1ar meeting.
 Following the New London meeting we returned to Groton for the meeting of the Metal Trades Council. Emil Mahn, Pres ident of the Metal Trades Council, presided. Many labor-manage- ment problems were discussed and several important reports submit port too much of the happenings ted. At this writing we cannot re- of this meeting as they are not ready for publication. However, in the very near future this body will be the source of most of the Union news.

We all take this opportunity of expressing to Mrs. Barnes our deepest sympathy in her great loss, and we can appreciate in our humble way the tragic blow and immeasurable grief which she has to endure.
 On the third of February the General Assembly of the IBEW No. B261 voted to close our char ter the third of March. We had a good reason to do this as we are 50 nearly all signed up that any, one now who does not join can only hurt himself and not his brother workers. We would like to see the remainder join before this charter closes and they have to pay what probably will be a high initiation fee. We all feel sure that within the near future that to work here at the FEB Go. as an electrician one will have to join the IBEW and that Is as it should be. Why? Simply this. Everybody who works at the FEB Co. today is enjoying wages and

AFL Urges Congress to Adopt PIOn to End LObOr Waste AFL Leaders Demand Defeat of May Bill and
 Favor Taft Bill Much Is Accomplished at Last Saturdays Meeting

Manufacturing it's annual mid-' winter session with a bang, the AFL Executive Council took these immediate actions:
 Tt called upon the U. S. Sem ate to reject the House-approved May Bill, calling for a labor draft, and adopt instead the Taft Substi- ute which retains voluntary con- trols and is aimed at elimination of labor waste and hoarding.
 2-It prepared to settle once and for all the question of reaffiliatiOn of the United Mine Workers Union.
 31It accepted President William Greens report on the amicable ad- justment of long standing jurisdic- differences between the Interna- tional differences between Interna- tiona1 Association of MachiniSts on one side and the International Brotherhood of Carpenters and the International Union of Operating Engineers on the other.
 The Executive Council left no room for doubt on it's stand with re- gard to the so called work or fight legislation which is considered the 1 most dangerous blow directed at labor's basic freedoms in many years.
 By unanimous vote the Council condemned the May Bill as a pre- cursor to slave labor in America and urged the U. s. Senate to defeat it.
 Emphasizing that the May Bill would hurt war production, instead of increasing it, the Council strong ly recommended adoption of the Taft substitute. This measure, which lost by only a handful of votes in the House where it was introduced by Rep. Barrett of Wyoming, would leave administra- t1on of manpower problems where 1t is now lodged with the War Manpower Commission.
 But the bill goes much further. It empowers the War Manpower Commission for the first time with authority to go into war plants and investigate labor waste and hoard ing. If such investigation shows that surplus manpower exists, the Commission would be empowered to order the release of workers not needed so that they could be fun neled into other war plants where actual shortages may exist. The Executive Council firmly denied that a real or dangerous manpower shortage exists in war plants generally throughout the country. It held that the few local and sporadic labor shortages which develop from time to time can best be adjusted by voluntary methods, rather than the untrained and inef- ficlent machinery of draft boards.
 With regard to the re-affiliation of the United Mine Workers, MT. Greene told newspaper reporters that he expected the Council to
