...last eleven months, Empire has expanded into 14 corporations, six plants and a shipyard. It is now delivering every month $1,000,000 worth of guns, gun mounts, recoils and tank armor to the British, has a $37,000,000 munitions backlog, and last month got an $18-20,000,000 contract from the Maritime Commission for a dozen 10,000-ton "Victory" ships. It has 3,000 employes and will soon have 4,000 more. There is not a dollar of U.S. Government or even public money in the whole capital structure...
...workers, exceeding 95 per cent in many of the mines, now belong to the union." So that, if the matter had taken its natural course and been brought up before the Mediation Board, the recommendation probably would have been pro-union, as it was in the almost similar Kearny Shipyard case. But the Mediation Board preferred to pass the buck, because, it claimed, any stand would influence present negotiations between the CIO and "Little Steel" on the same issue. Meanwhile, the strike date was approaching, Mr. Roosevelt sent three letters to Lewis requesting that he hold off until a settlement...
...practical problems of labor organization. This Committee is not political. It subscribes to the democratic principle of industrial unionism. It recognizes that a mutual understanding between students and laborers is essential to the defense of democracy now and its extension later. The task of organizing the Fore River Shipyard of Bethlehem Steel provides an ideal situation for the field work of the Committee and a happy direction in extra-curricular life at Harvard in general...
...election that the N.L.R.B. will hold at Fore River on October 22 is a "yes" or "no" vote on the question of unionism. C.I.O.'s Union of Marine and Shipbuilding Workers is the only shipyard union recognized by the N.L.R.B. and the only union that will appear on the ballot. A defeat for the C.I.O. would cut off 17,000 Quincy workers from collective bargaining for at least a year, and jeopardize Fore River's chances to match the record-pace of defense output in the union yards. In nine of eleven Bethlehem yards already represented by C.I.O. production...
There was the Fore River case. This spring, he said, Palmer notified him that 1,050 housing units were needed immediately in the Boston area for workers in Bethlehem's Quincy shipyards. With no time to build, FWA had to purchase from USHA for $4,856,203 an 873-unit slum clearance project 8.7 miles from the shipyards. Carmody told Palmer at the time it was a "preposterous" idea. Result up to Aug. 26: 400 units were occupied, only 225 by shipyard workers...
