Open Letter to
 The E. B. Machinists

Union MachiniStS open your eyes. The Electric Boat Company is an A F of L shop and you guys work ing in the shop helped make it that way. You did it because you believe that the American Labor movement and you feel and believe that the American Federation of Labor IS THE AMERICAN LABOR MOVE MENT. Why change now? We be- lieve that you really haven't changed-that you are still and al- ways will be Union men at heart but that you are allowing your selves to be misled and misguided by a few selfish individuals who prefer (and for ulterior reasons) the l AM to the American Labor Movement.
 Here at Groton ever since we walloped the daylights out 0f both independent "unionism" and radi- cal unionism we have been one big family-true we had our family squabbles but they were always lINtlGO Ouk 1OI tIG OSob OA blAO 41IOS6' You are part-yes, still part of this family--you know that each and everyone of you would fight like Hell to keep this family in- tact, because it is your family. You have no bone against the other trades in the yard and you know you haven't nor have they any bone against you. As far as the rest of the trades are concerned you are STILL PART OF THEM AND AL WAYS WILL BE.
 Who Is Harvey Brown? Do you know him? Do you know anyone on the infamous executive board to whom you are being so blindly
 loyal? Loyal to them as against YOUR OWN BEST FRIENDS AND
 FELLOWWORKERS whom you
 know personally and live and work with?
 What kind of people must "Mr. :" Brown and his executive board be to allow so many thousands of such fine people as the rank and file of machiniSts to leave the ranks of
 AMERICAN LABOR? No matter what reason they give, no reason is
 big enough to justify this out

rageous betrayal of American Labor as well as the rank and file of Ma chiniSts.
 However Labor has had its cry- babies before-the guys that would have the tail wag the dog but here in Groton we are not and neither should you be concerned with those kind of people any more than you would be with other en- emies of Labor such as the CIO- here we have our Metal Trades Council of which you are part and parcel-it Is YOUR COUNCIL and belongs to you the machinists as much as it belongs to any of the other trades. Stop being kidded--- stop allowing yourselves to be irl- volved in politics-stop allowing yourselves to be the tools to fulfill selfish ambitions of people you do not even know = YOU BELONG WITH US-WE BELONG WITH YOU-We started this thing to- gether LET'S FINISH IT TO- GETEIER. Come on BROTHERS let us be ONE BIG HAPPY FAM LILY AGAIN.

If the government reimburses, then the government loses, and if they don't then the employees lose. Here at the Boat Company the Company takes its own chances. The en- ployeeS get the IS cents anyway and the Company takes its own chances on reimbursement.
 While the negotiations for the most part were friendly and 8 spirit of cooperation seemed to prevail between the negotiations, at times it looked like negotiations would be broken off in midair be- cause of inability to get together on some of the multiple problems that confronted the committees. However after prolonged debates and arguments the parties usually came together.
 Commercial Rates
 One of the main problems con- fronting the committees was the subject of a rate of wages for com merical work. It Is matter of com mon knowledge that during the interim period that there is no sub

Because Of the fact that there was no assurance from the gov- ernment that 1t would be reimburs- able, management hesitated to meet the Unions demands for the in crease. But the Union negotiators were persistent and they would not sign until the words Subject to re- imbursement' were stricken from the proposal. THIS IS THE FIRST AND ONLY CONTRACT TO DATE IN ANY SHEPARD where the 18 cents was granted WITHOUT THE REIMBURSEMENT RIDER. The other yards have agreed to the 18 cents but subject to government re- imbursement and the employees get nothing until the government agrees to reimburse and those companies that granted the increase stand to lose NOTHING.

Mystic News
E. B. FLASH!

Three former E. B. employees in
 Mystic have decided to take the un-
 employment situation in hand by going into business for themselves.
 Charming Hilda Mccarthy, who put in several years at the E. B.
 Plant is now owner manager of the
 HOTEL MYSTIC DINING ROOM.
 Hilda'S popularity in the Yard has followed her in the Mystic spot. Be- tween the HOMECOMING Hilda serves and the delightful atmos-
 phere of the renovated Hotel Dining Room where parties listen to popu- lar selections from the JUTE BOX, Hilda's place promises to be
 popular spot this summer and in fact the year round. (prices req sonable).
 Our old pal Dick Herman, (form- CT trustee of Boilermakers' L-61N
 has also chosen the food line to ex- pand in. Dick has gone into business with EUNECE (Bierholm), who ran
 the Eunice Coffee Shop, and the
 new place at 21s Water Street, Gust
 around the Rotary) is now a LUNCH & GRILL. For a handy,
 quick and tasty meal the EUNICE'S S LUNCH & GRILL can't be beat! A Music Box is in evidence here, too,
 and the prices reasonable.
 You all remember MIKE VACCA, on the "hOt stuff," Wet Dock, Main Yard. Mike has now opened his own fresh fruit, vegetable and grocery store in the Schaeffer Block on East Main Street. MIKE specializes in FRUIT BASKETS, and orders will be taken by wire from Coast to
 Coast for delivery in the district
 between "Poquonnock Bridge to Pawcatuck Bridge" Conn. In the near future MIKE expects to fea- ture frozen foods as well.

Silver Butte Mine
Running SO Years

Silver Butte mine. ~ miles south
of Libby, Mont, began operations
of its 50-ton mill last week With
a mill head running well over $50
per ton, and concentrating about
seven to one, it is producing a As
per cent plus seven ounces silver,
concentrate in zinc, and a SO per
cent plus AZ ounces silver, con-
centrate in lead.
The neat little mill nestled on
the hillside just below the camp
and tunnel adit promises to make
money for this new company. The
ore consists of zinc, lead, silver and
some gold values, according to Ern-
est H. GARRISON.
William Curtis of Malta, Mont
is the principle stakeholder Mr.
Curtis acquired the property two
years ago, and since then has kept
up an untiring effort to get into
production. Working against odds,
because of labor and material
shortages, he nevertheless fought on,
until today the Silver Butte has
one of the most complete little mills
in the country. Although the gov
eminent awarded the highest prior
critics. they were unable to COM
plete their building program until
this month.
Silver Butte was first operated
as Kentucky-Vermillion Mining Co.
This company built 100-ton mill in
1905. and less than two months later
it was burned in a forest fire. This
disaster so diSheartened the former
owners, who were mostly Kentuck-
ians, that the property was aband-
oned until the late F. O. Berg of
Spokane acquired it. Later it was
leased through the administrator of
his estate to several parties, who
did not complete its development |
Two Main Tunnels
After 100000 expenditure, it is |
estimated that five years of ores
for the present mill are now in
sight
There are two main tunnels on
the property. The upper tunnel
runs in 1875 feet, where a raise
goes up ITO feet to connect with a
higher tunnel, which goes another
800 feet eastward with adit on the
east side of the mountain
Inc lower tunnel, known as the
cross-cut is more than 1900 feet
long. With this tunnel, they can
stope on the vein for 800 feet. East
of this point further exploration
is necessary.
AS work progresses and greater
ore bodies are developed the com
pany plans on a larger mill at some
lower site.
Andrew Prader, Spokane mining
engineer, has directed the work as
engineer, and Ivar An
derson Of Libby is in charge of
Review.
