ONCE UPON A TIME a success ful man decided to take . recess from business, and travel. Before leaving, he set up . budget to continue operations, appropriat- inc substantial funds to three subordinates: B2h % to 4, 26% to 3 and 1924 % to C. When, after a long time, the head of the firm came back and asked for an ac- counting, he learned that 4 and B both had doubled their money but the incompetent MT. ( had barely saved his principal.
 What happened after thati Well, the management dismissed ( and assigned his appropriation to the especially capable MT. 4. The story is told perfectly in the New Testament, Matt. 25:14-30. In this text is the origin of the term "five-talent man" meaning a person of exceptional ability in matters of business. It shows how business prospers in the hands of capable, energetic people. It is one of the many parables of Jesus.
 Community THE KIN ACK of Builders making money is a
 skill desired by many but admired by few. Often we hear people speak of 1t with contempt. On several occasions, curiosity has led me to ask diff ferent ones why they did it. Every answer implied that accu- mulating capital is selfish. One woman said, Musicians play and sing for all to hear. Artists make pictures for all to see. But the man who piles up money is serv- ing only himself"
 Her answer disclosed consider able prejudice but not much thought. The truth is that a man with money-making ability is al- most always a blessing to his community. People who know how to assemble capital and man. age 1t we'll are public benefactors. They improve incomes for peo- pie around them more than for

themselves. The best wages are paid only where big investments have been placed and where good profits are being made. Econo- mists say: Wages increase with capital invested, but it's more than Q mere theory.
 Investments COMMON SENSE Make Wages teaches that CD in : the long-run peo- pie get paid for what they pro- duce, (2) with good equipment they can produce more and earn more, (3) but it takes investment to provide equipment. Every workman in any plant is richer because of the investment in it. Wages in America are twice as high as in England and six times as high as in Japan because only in America are workmen backed up with AZ horsepower of in- stalled equipment apiece, worth $6,000.
 Do American workmen earn more because they work harder? No indeed!. They do not work as hard nor as long. Their pay is in proportion to their production: Twice that of an Englishman, three times that of an European, six times that of an Oriental. The necessary investment has been made by men who have prospered and saved and now hope to pros. per further by intelligent invest. rnent.
 Under the American system of free private enterprise, a few five-talent men are extremely well paid. They earn 1t because 6N they get Is very little compar. ed to the income they create for others. Less than 16% of the national income will pay every. body in America who earns $10,. 900 a year or more. Occasionally somebody shouts for capitalized incomes. What the complainer really says is: Down with com petent men! Let's ruin their in. vestments, wreck their machinery and live on Japanese standards. !"

encourage workers to improve themselves by first protecting the good worker regardless of the time he had been employed. But, he declared, the company believed that the length of service" credit should also enter into the merit system, along with good work, and so has added the additional factor.
 Merit ratings at the Electric Boat Company take into consideration the quantity and quality of work, initiative and the attendance and safety records of employees, along with other matters having to do with plant regulations.

 MT. Jack McGee
 Editor of "The Sub'':
 Dear Sir and Brother:
 Because our publicity man Bro. ther Peskin was not at our meeting today, our President, Brother Brit land, asked me to send you little news to be inserted in the next is- sue of the Sub"
 Brother Britland presided at our meeting and spoke regarding the need to continue signing up new members and to urge all our mem bers to attend all meetings.
 From now until June 5, 1945, is the most crucial period, insofar as Labor is concerned, in all the his- tory of the Electric Boat Co. Our percentage of dues paying mem- bers compared to the number of men eligible to join our Machinist Local, is very high, but we will not be satisfied until all have joined us. Remember, we must combat both the attitude of the company, also the propaganda of the CIO, and must not relinquish any of the ground we have so far gained. The issues at stake concern not only the officers of your local, but each and every one of you, so get out. to your local meetings and make known your wishes and help your officers to make Local 1871 I. A. of M., one to be proud of.

Electric Boat Merit System Changed

Direct credit for length of serv- ice has been added as a tenth fac- tor in the merit rating system at the Electric Boat Company sub- marine building plant at Groton.
 O. Pomeroy Robinson, Vice Pres- ident and General Manager, an- nounced this, asserting that em- ployees will be given credit com mensurate with the years of serv- ice they have had with the com pany.

 Dear Sir:
 It is with some degree of Concern that we take cognizance of an ar- ticle in your paper under the col umn of Brickbats and Bouquets, relative to two members of this union who have been talking against the A. F. of L. in your yard. We agree that the condition should be stopped immediately. but we also wonder whether these men are bona-fide members of this Lo- cal or not. We have had many men who have lost their membership for one reason or another and there are others who might be using our name without any right thereto. So in justice to this Local and the La- Dor movement as a whole we would like you to transmit to us at your earliest convenience the names of these two men who purport to be members of the Longshoremen and a digest of their activities against the A. F. of L., 50 that we may take any disciplinary action necessary in the matter.

Speaking for my organization you are all wet when you state that members going to other locals have to pay a higher initiation fee to remain in the organization. l wish, MT. Thomas, you would stay with the facts and not confuse the issue. Let us stay to the facts, MT. Thomas, you ask what shipyard could the AF of L put the worker in If they were laid off at the Electric Boat Go. I wonder, MT. Thomas, If you realize that prac- tically all government yards are 1OO9o organized in the AF of L.
 We all know that after this ter rible war is over a big percentage of the yards will have to let a number of men go. I am going to ask you where are you going to place these men not In AZ of l. shops, or other lines of machine trades of which the AZ of L con- trols a majority.
 Your organization has got to stay with few shipyards you con- trol and I mean few, what have you to say to that, MT. Thomas? I agree with you, MT. Thomas, about the classification of the men in the yard-it does stink, but who wrote up the contract of which we have to live up to till 1t expires? I will tell you, an Independent Un- ion affiliated with the East Coast Alliance of which, believe, you are one of the leaders.

To the Editor of The Sub:
 In the April 20th edition of the Ebco News l could not help but smile at the letter MT. Harold Thomas wrote. I wonder if MT. Thomas realizes he was picking himself apart by the statement he made about the AT of l. when he should lay the above statements where they belong, that is the In- dependent Union % of which the SMEU was a member of the East Coast Alliance. hope, MT. Thomas, you do not think but what the average worker at the Electric Boat Company are not intelligent be- cause when you analyze your ar- ticle I think the average worker in the yard gets the impression that they are not, from your viewpoint. While the AF of L are over 80%o organized they are still working under the old contract made by 8 union which had joined up with syour outfit and being legal docu- ment 1t cannot be broken until it's termination when we, the AZ of L, will have something to say about what goes into the new contract and not an Independent Union.
