ToDAY's HOROSCOPE

Today gives literary abilities
of a high order, the trend being
toward romance or imaginative
writing. There is some lack of
direction of force and possibly
of initiative. 1t may be that a
disposition to work over old
material may prevent the best
results but there is plain indi-
cation that considerable success
follows this degree.

On the Wage Increase

On December 4, 1945, the shipbuildng stabilzation Committee is meeting to discuss policy and wages for the Shipbuilding Industry. YOU WILL BE REPRESENTED AT THAT MEETING Your UNION will be there to rep resent you-YOUR UNION WILL BE YOUR VOICE-YOUR UNION WILL BE THERE FIGHTING TO GET YOU AS GREAT AN INCREASE AS POSSIBLE to make up tor the decreased take home caused by the cut in hours
 An increase in your take home and in the take home pay every working American is POSITIVELY lM PERATvE because while the cut in hours responsible for substantial cut in everyone's pay, NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CUT DOWN THE COST OF LIVING. Right right today, the workman is falling be- hind if anything trying to live within his decreased n come-AND RIGHT NOW IS THE TIME FOR COLLEC- TIVE ACTION that will this silly and unnecessary state of affairs.
 We repeatedly asked united front here at the Boat Co., We have repeatedly said that ONLY THROUGH A STRONG UNION could we accomplish the things striving We have repeatedly asked and told the skep tcsthose through sheer ignorance have signed up yet in hseverybodys fight for better and working conditions that THEY MUST JOIN WITH US else they jeopardzng not only their chances but the chances of EVERYONE OF THEIR FELLOW WORK FRS. They may have right to jeopardze their and their famiys chances they must but they under cir cumstances have right to JEOPARDIZE THE SECURITY OF OTHERS And that is exactly what they doing when they do not join with the and who constantly carrying the fight for higher and decent standard of living.
 But the issue is too important and the time to be stacker is over-YOUR UNION AND THE MILLIONS OF YOUR FELLOW WORKERS WHO COMPRISE THE MEMBERSHIP OF YOUR UNION HAVE ALWAYS GONE TO BAT FOR YOU-for scores of years they have fought and you and we were the winners for it. NOW YOUR UN- ION NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT-a UNITED FRONT is rn- perative Don't let them down You too will gain and share in any benefits for American Labor Through sheer appreciation alone everyone at the Boat Co., should have joined and through SHEER NECESSITY THEY MUST JOIN. 1t is bounden duty to join. The majority voted for this UNION and is American to abide by and with the majority,
 December 4th is the date. Your UNION will be ably and capaby represented therebu representatives need your support. GIVE IT TO THEM-they have let you down. Don't let them down. We need that wage raiseyou need that wage rase-atogether let's go after it AND GET IT!

News for Returning Vets
Wake Union Heroes Are Brought Home All But a Hundred A. F. of l.. Workers Found Alive In
 Jap Prison Camps

The veil has now been almost en- tirely lifted on the fate of 1,200 A.. F. of L. union members who played a gallant role in the defense of Wake Island before the JapS over- ran it. A ~
 Hired by private contractors, the unionists were busy putting up military installations on the island when the Japs attacked late in De- cember, 1941. The men dropped their tools, grabbed guns and joined with 600 Marines under the com mand of Major James P. s. Deve- reux to resist the invaders.
 They held out for two weeks, but had to yield finally in the face of overwhelming forces. Thereafter, a complete blackout of news by the Japs concealed the disposition of the union men.
 This week, Navy Department off cialS revealed that all but about a hundred have been traced to vari- ous prison camps, and most have been returned to the States.
 Victims of Jap Brutality
 Many died in the camps-victims of starvation diets and Jap brutality and others survived by the "skin of their teeth"
 Some also were killed during the battle of Wake Island. What hap pened to the Host hundred" is un- known, but Navy chiefs are hope full some clues to their fate may still be found.
 Under law passed by Congress, following appeals made by the A. F. of L. and the Navy Department, families of the unionists were given allotments during the long years of the "blackout,'' and unions in many cases gave additional sums out of their own treasuries.
 Those now returning are being paid compensation approximately equal to what they would have earned had they worked at their trade during imprisonment, less al- lotments to their families. For some these checks which are paid by the United States Employees Compen- sation Commission, will run into thousands of dollars.
 Elwood B. Acker, son of Mrs. Jane D. Acker, 37 Chester, Groton, Conn, has arrived in the Philip pines to serve the armed forces as an American Red Cross assistant field director. Until his overseas assignment, Acker served with the Red Cross at the U. S. Army Air Base, Boston. Previously, Acker was an expediter for the Electric Boat Company, Groton, Conn. He is
