Oiur purlose is tosurvey the Ie a nl slist aim-Irn, pot inswhich unerli America n h istory adAmerican tadition.

At once we are going to reveal our ownbias.

Our nation in the beginning broke withthe older countries arid went it alone. Ilibreaking with the older cpuntrits wesmaihed olqouild of eustoml and shatteredtraditio a.nd went l..wa. on thi basisof reason to elect a svstel of ,ve..tnen.tthat woubl .et 2 hitllgng conditiiorls andchanging needs.

The se omd strihing ract about theAnreileiin system is the determ ined ad-herence t. the doctrine that the indivlduiis mlllriant ald alale. "ls majesty,thi Ani I, ican ci izli.,' is k l ; outw ol Lrn t'l, i

used as .n advertising s hogan but it ex-pt- ess..s ' genine eriotiol. and an habit ualattitude of Amerirans, So intense is ourfaith in individual value that we have allbut abolished classes iii the nlited States.and this is rot true of any other nation.

Trhere ae scres o xaple of thisclassless society in the ease with whicha ni a passes fro a. or, eonomic levelto ai o Itthr from tie mole of emll Voy e tothe eniloyer, the ease with which poorboys .marry rich girls and poor girlsmarry rich mien---the recognition ofability in any walk of life. the Cinderellafable whkh has been told over and overnugai o0n stage and screen.

So determined is our allegiance to thedoctrine that the individual is importantand valuable that we look with aversionand hlenor upon the doctrine of suchstates as Germany where the individualis nothing and the state is all. This isreally what Americans meant when thleysaid in 1!117 that they were going to lightto make the world safe for democracy,that is, to prove that the state can not coni-trol the life of the individual but that theindividlal, co-operating with other i d i-vidual, must control the life of the state.

It is this creem of individualism thathas given rise to our initellse devotion toiirty. This devotion to liberty runs likea rolden thi-eal throtugh Amerilcan his-tory -Seriers io not quernch it. Satiredoes not obliterate it, It nlakeks ul thesubstantial portion of our tradition.

PERP'ETUA L JEALOUSY

Look back for .a momllnt upon thisrecord. Johbl iIikinSiln thundered: "Aperpetual jealusy respecting liberty is

absolutely requisite in all free states".'ter-nail vigilance is the price of lib-

erty." announced Patrick li eny.Wendell Phillips contributed his say:

"Republics exist only on tenute of beingagitated."

Even Alexanstdr llamiilton, said to bethe foe of liberty, the father of Toryism.made his coniribuuion ti this tradition:'"i is not thus (by arms) that the libraryif this cout lt i. i to be destroyed. It isto be snbve'titd only by a pretense ofadhering to all the faoris of law and yetby breaking l ,wn III the substance of ourliberties.'

Thomas eff .erson, the political foe offlimilton, really hadil but one tune playedperpetually uponI the I inds of his consti-tuency, namely iihty. Anid Lincolnsii:; "The ipiniples. of Jefferson are thelefinitions and axioms of free society."

It is ttue that oI.ur individualism hasoftei strayed into anarchy it is also truethat there Lri pIrm itted to rise localdictators and incipient fascists in theworld of industry and in the politicalworld. The political boss and the captainof industry have often played upon thisindividualistic emotion of the Americanpeople to hoist themselves into a favoredposition If pI.wer. to abuse that positionand to enslave people. On the other hand.no such minor dictator has ever main-tained himself over a long period, and thehistory of the last 40 years of Americanlife has been the history of perfection ofmachinery to make it impossible for thedietator to spread himself.

How then has an indivilualistic peoplebeen able to accomplish so much in theway of building a great nation and ofcreating the greatest industrial organiza-tion in the world? Purely on the theoryand practice of voluntary associationWhat has really happened is. in pursuingour philosophy of individualkim. we haveset up a universal system of educationenabling e.very nIla, to dIerclp hinself,relatively speaking, to a high degree. andthe goal of that education and develop-ment has been to make him a goodCO- 0 )eltot*O.

To sulmarize briefly these three con-cepts is to say tha the Anierican nationbroke with the traditions ot Europe anddared to become different. That dif-

The Journzal of Electrical Workers and Operato.rs

fennee inhered ehiefly in the perceptionof the value of the individual no matterwhat his station in life; in giving thatindividual a chance for as much personaldevelopment as possible and then counting upon this education to make him co-operate with his fellows. This does notmean that compulsions have not been usedto force co-operation. It has been pointedout that the wage system on an individu-alistic basis is nothing more than a system of compulsion to force men to work.As soon as American workers perceivedthat with the rise of modern industrialismthe individual could not exercise properlyhis individualism, they formed them-selves into voluntary associations in orderthat individual value could be maintainedand in order that the individual couldraise himself to the level of industrialcitizenship.

It has been repeatedly pointed out alsothat the American Federation of Laborhas merely reflected in its structure andprocesses the tYPe of government thatwe had had on the political field. Threecourses of action, therefore, open them-selves up before the American citizen andthe American worker:

1. He can follow the policy of extremeindividualism.

2. He can strengthen his policy of vlun-tar association in order that theindividual may have a larger life.

8. He can surrender these two habits ofaction and sign away these values toa state theoretically charged withcaring for the individual but powerfulenough to sacrifice the individual atany time to the whim of the state.

Now in consequence there has risen astrong movement among Americans fora high standard of living. This has grownout of the settled conviction that theindividual is important and valuable. Inthis sense Americans have had their ownkind of soeialism--a socialism foundedupon the settled conviction that every in-dividual has a light to full development.and upon sound knowledge that develop-ment can not be forthcoming in povertyand squalor. In this sense Americanshave not differed from the socialists ofother countries but only on the insistencethat our socialism shall be voluntary,based upon the consent of the governed.

Whether it has been merely our goodluck to be placed in an environment ofrich resources, or whether it has beenour intrepid individualism, we do notfully know, but up to now Americans havebeen successful in building a high stand-ard of life. Of course, this statement ispurely relative. Compared with othernations we have been successful. Com-pared with what we can do and shoulddo, we have been abject failures. Itis this failure to achieve the fullestmeasure of our own organization whichhas allowed critics of the Americanidea to maintain that you can not producethe good life, you can not teach the higheat standard of living under a system ofvoluntar association. This places adilemma before the American worker.The dilemma might be stated thus: doyou prefer a half a loaf of bread with

liberty or a full loaf of bread with des-potism? Or mo.re hopefully the dilemmamight be stated thus: do you prefer topush on on the basis of voluntary associa-tioi to wring from our rich environmenta higher standai of ivinig, or do youwish to surrender freedom fur the doubt-ful security of totalitarianism?

THE INDEPENDENT MIND

Within this interplay of individualismwith vountary association has grown upcertain standards of procedure of importance. The first might be described asan offshoot of individualism as the inde-pendent mind and the independent voter.We have reached the conclusion that thereis a sphere of conduct quite apart fromprivate emotion and partisan attitude.We see this in our attempt to reduce controversy (class struggle) to factual termsand to scientific solution.

It is a well-known fact that no nationhas developed research, impartial investi-gation and arbitration to the extent ofthe United States. We have the naivefaith and we have often proved its validitythat every problem, even the problems inhuman relations, can be solved if we getthe facts and if we submit these to rigidanalysis and have the courage to reachconclusions dependent upon the facts.

The whole tradition of arbitration ofindividual disputes and of co-operationwith management rests upon this greatsentiment. The independent mind is thearch enemy of primitive class strugglism.And democracy has no greater monumentto its achievement than the creation ofthis procedure. England, too, has adoptedit as witnessed in recent reports of theCommission on Industrial Relations, ashas Sweden and other countries.

Closely related to this tradition of inde-pendent thinking is the idea of the inde-pendent voter. We have developed thetwo-party system in the United Statesand it has been charged that the twoparties have very little difference betweenthem. But the independent voters canmove from one to the other party according to the need and make that party aninstrument of new ideas and new pro-cedures. This is surely what has takenplace in the case of the progressive re-publicanism led by Robert M. La Folletteand in the ease of the progressive demnoc-ratism led by Franklin D. Roosevelt. Itis the independent voter that controls andnot the party machine.

It is this that has given rise to the non-partisan policy of the American Federa-tion of Labor and it is this that hasenabled the the United States to rise toevery emergency with new procedu'es tosolve new problems. Contrast this methodwith the bloc system of partyism preva-lent in the older countries where everygiven economic group has its own party,rigidly adhered to, and incapable ofchanging. The older system is a rigidsystem amortized in emotion and passion.whereas the America, system is a flex-ible system capable of quick changes.

CHANGING GOALS

One commentator upon the Americanidea describes this flexible tradition ad-

mirably. He is Jesse Lee Bennett. In hisbook "The Essential American Tradition,"he says:

"It might therefore vell be contendedthat the essential American tradition isto have no tradition save a continuingaspiration to forge consciously, deliber-ately forward in the vanguard of humanprogress; to resist the congealing of customs; to make, continuously, the inevita-ble new adaptations to life renderedessential by changing conditions; to se-cure, by whatever means may be necessary. the greatest possible freedom of theindividual from all irresponsible author-ity; to maintain the greatest possibleadaptability of the organs of governmentto serve this end and to give to thecommon will of the people composingthe nation the most effective possibleexpression."

It is this ability to adhere to this tra-dition of non-partisanship. this habit ofindependent voters to switch from partyto party in order to use the party as aninstrument of an idea that keeps govern-ment from being in a strait-jacket. Ifgovernments are responsive to publicopinion, if they are sensitive to tht willof the people, they can perform ade-quately within the framework created Itis only when governments are indifferentto public opinion, insensitive to the chang-ing ideas of the masses that the Amer-ican system fails. We certainly had adecade following the Great War in whichthe conservative government was insensi-tive to the changing attitudes of the peo-pie. There are instances in the presentadministration such as the ease of theNational Labor Relations Board whereagencies are indifferent to public opinion.The crime of government in the Americanframework is this flouting of publicopinion. What we need and what wehave been doing during the last few yearsis to create new methods of quickel re-sponse to public opinion.

Surely there is no greater or safer pro-cedure than the one which has just beendescribed. In 20 years, for instance, theRussian bureaucracy has been as fixedand rigid and autocratic as the Czaristicgovernment. It is this rigidity and autoc-racy of the Russian government thatapologists for communism fail to see andadmit. The Russians are bourbons justas much as the American capitalisticgroup have been bourbons. The hope fora combination of stability with progresswhich is the ideal of American govern-ment lies in flexibility rather than inrigid procedure.

Finally, the new idea around which agreat deal of present dissension turns isthe idea of economic planning. The total-itarian governments, Russia and Get-many and Italy, do plan. They also regi-ment. Planning seems only a matter cfcommon sense and seems to open the wayfor the elimination of poverty and squalol.The apologists for the totalitarian type ofsocial organization declare that denoc-ruries cannot plan. This is refuted bywhat has been done in Sweden and ina lesser degree in Norway and Denmark.These nations plan andi still ireserve de-

NEMA Boasts of Electrical Committee Set-UpHE electrical committee of the Na-

Wtiona[ Fire Protection Association isthe not important single agency in

the electrical industryl. It controls theNational Electrical Code which in turndetermines the type of naterials to heinstalled in the industry. The type ofmaterials reflects back upon the worker'sskill and his job opportunity.

The National Electrical M.anufactur-er, Association (NEMA) is a heavilyfinanced trade association with an elaborate system of divisions and departments,.making room for every type of businessin that branch of the industry. NEMAis usually regarded as representative ofthe conservative wing of the electricalindustry. It is dominated by the largermanfacturers and has close workingagreements with the Edison Electric In-stitute which represents the utility groupin the industry. These working arrange-ments are due in part to the fact that theutilities are the largest buyers of heavyelectrical materials. Not long ago theRigid Steel Conduit Association, representative of a large section of the mannfacturers. seceded from NEMA on thegrounds that it was not getting properrepresentation

NEMA collects a per capita tax fromits membership and must give selrice

With seven members and withco-operation of utility group, manu-facturers can dominate.

It recently has sent to its nemberskhip achart showing the set-up of the electlricalcommittee and it boasts of its oheavyrepresentation. On this chart the ques-

tion is asked: "Is your ploduct properlytreated in the National Electrical Code?NEMA can assist you."

Such frankness is not usually prevalentin discusions of the electrical commit-tee. Impressions are created that theelectrical cominitee is an engineeringgroup with some of the characteristics ofthe U, S. Supreme Court, capable of tak-ing a lofty disinterested view of electricalstandards and meting out justice. Onthe evidence herewith submitted byNEMA itself, however, it is apparentthat the electrical committee is an as-sembly of representatives of insuranceand manufacturing and utility people.It is to be noted again that the commit-tee has never allowed labor representa-tion on this committee.

Electrical Wholesalers Back High StandardsBy A. J. McGIVERN, Managing Director,Chicago Electrical Wholesalers' Association

Mr. McGiuern spoke before a joitmeeting of Illinois and Indiana chaptersof the International Association of Elec-trical Inspectors al Gary recently. Hisaddress is still the subject of wide discus-sion and eanmmenl. Mr. McGivern hasasked "wholesalers associations in othercities to support his thesis:

HE Chicago Electrical Wholesalershave found it advisable to co-operatewith the electrical inspectors' group

and we have joined their organization 100per cent strong. We have done this for adefinite reason. The better wholesalershave always carried and sold the bestconstruction material and the best cur-rent-consuming appliances that they couldbuy. They do this for a definite reason,too. My service in the electrical industrygoes back a long way. I can rememberwhen the use of electricity was confinedto street lighting, when it was consideredtoo dangerous to use in the home Thatfear that electricity is unsafe continuedfor a long time and it exists tloday. Ithas been our greatest barrier to popu-larizing the use of current-onsuming de-vices in the home. And whenever a fatalor severe shock occurred, it required animmense amount of sales effort and advertising to re-establish the confidence inthe community that electrical appliancesare safe to use in the home.

About two years ago I had an oppor-tunity to address a meeting of the IllinoisChapter at Rock Island. At that time wehad a particular problem in Chicago.The World's Fair buildings were beingdismantled. Many other buildings werebeing torn down to escape taxes. Conduitfrom these buildings was being straight-ened, repainted and sold for installationin new buildings. A good job of paintingmight fool an inspetor, but the inside ofthis conduit that had served its naturallife was rusty and when wire was pulledinto it, the insulation might have beentorn so that grounds and shocks mayresult. We advocated the elimination ofall black conduit and boxes because thiswould prevent the use of second-handconduit and it would eliminate the im-perfect or insulated grounds where enameled conduit and boxes were used. Theinspectors at that meeting respondednobly and unanimously passed a resolu-tion recommending the exclusive use ofzinc coated conduit and boxes. This wentto a meeting of the western section whereit also was approved and from there tothe electrical committee where the elimi-nation of black conduit and boxes re-ceived its approval.

For legal reasons it was thought ad-visable to secure facts before this propo-sition went into the National Code. Ac-cordingly the Underwriters Laboratorywas employed as a fact-finding committeeto determine the relative merits of black

and white conduit and boxes. They havebeen working on this for more than ayear, going into every part of the UnitedStates to determine the action of saltwater on conduit on the Coast, of thevarious acids in manufacturing estab-lishments, and the effect of the variousclimatic conditions throughout the coun-try. Their report will probably be com-pleted by December of this year, in timefor the electrical committee to considerit before the next National Code is pub-lished. I have no fear of the results, foreven if the investigation shows that blackconduit holds up as well as white, thebetter grounding obtained from the useof zinc coated conduit and boxes is suffi-cient reason for its exclusive use.

When the use of black conduit andboxes is eliminated from the NationalCode, the manufacturers will save theexpense of duplicate operations in theirfactories. The wholesalers and contrac-tors will carry one stock instead of two.These economics will be passed on to thepublic with the result that it will getbetter and safer material with no increasein cost.

The electrical inspectors have alwaysadvocated a high standard of materialand construction that results in thegreatest safety to life and property. Butnow--a sour, discordant note disturbs theharmony. On page 11, of your May issueof the News Bulletin, appear p>posalsfor a revision of the National Code which,in my judgment, would operate to reduceour standards of safety. Here are onlya few of them:

"Provision for the general use of non-metallic sheath cable as a wiring system."

"Remove requirement for mandatoryuse of rigid conduit in theatres, elevators,and hazardous locations and of metalclad wiring in garages."

"Provide for the general use of thinwall insulation." Rubber covered wireas made today is too good.

"Delete the rule requiring conduit tobe shipped in 10 foot lengths." Thismeans random lengths, which is waterpipe that they want used in the fewplaces where conduit might be required.This use of water pipe would bring aboutjurisdicltional disputes between plumbersand electriclal workers as to which shoulddo the work and bring about demoraliza-tion in the building industry.

I saw the Iroquois Theatre fire and Isaw the hundreds of charred bodies piled

up like cord wood in Thompsoh's restau-eant next door. I know that this fire wasof electrical origin and that since thattime every provision possible has beenmade by electrical inspectors to maketheatres and public buildings safe. Itcauses cold chills to run down my backwhen I read the proposed changes in theNational Code to eliminate rigid conduitand other safety provisions in the wiringof theatres, schools, churches and in haz-ardous locautions subject to explosivefumes and gases. These provisions forcheap wiring go down into residencework where they want our homes wiredin the cheapest possible way, apparentlywithout regard to safety.

And why do they want all this? Theytell us that the cost of wiring is so highthat homes are not being built. Thefigures show that the entire cost of elec-tric wiring in homes is from two to threeper cent of the total cost, and the difference between the cost of wiring a honewith adequacy and safety and the cheap-est kind of installation is not more than$25 to $50. This amount spread over thelife of the building would not amount tothe cost of a pint of good liquor a yea.Why don't they tell us the truth? Thatthe waste and extravagance of govern-

ient-city, state and federal .has in-lreased taxes to the point where the ordi-

nary individual can't afford to own ahome. I happen to own a modest housein Chicago that I bought about 25 yearsago. At that time my taxes were $63.This crept up to a high of $420. What awonderful job of electric wiring this differenee in taxes would make in my homeand it could be repeated every year.Those in high places tell us that we musthave cheap wiring so that more homeswill be built and so that unemployed laborwill be put to work. Well, it is very clearthat the small amount that might besaved by an unsafe wiring job wouldhave nothing to do with the number ofhouses that will be built. But on theother hand, analyze the cost of a safeadequate wiring job and cheapest formof construction, and where do you findthe saving? Twenty-five per cent inmaterial and 75 per cent in labor, Andyet they have the audacity to tell youthat this program for wiring at a lowcost is a patriotic measure for the benefitof labor That is the kind of patriotismthat ha, been described as the last refugeof a scoundrel.

Now this program to reduce the stand-ards of safety in construction has notbeen advocated by electrical inspectors,but when it is projected in the regularway you will have an opportunity to voteon it at the regular section and chaptermeetings. I realize fully that many ofyou who are not under civil service aresubject to powerful influenes and that

Rich America Gives $470 Per Capita IncomeDURING the 12-,,...month per,,iod whichended with June 30, 1936, the upper

5 per cent of all the families anlunattached individuals in the UnitelStates (families and individuals beingconsidered as separate spending or .or-suming units) received 27 per cent of thetotal income obtained by all the 39 millionsuch units within our country. An almostequal proportion of our national ineonm,28 per cent, was shared among 0 per centof America's fainmlies and individuals atthe opposite end of our income scale.

Only 14 per cent of the total inceumsum was distributed among the 40 percent of the spending units at the bottomof the scale-while another 14 per centwent into the hands of 1 per cent at thetop.

Such was the picture of national incomedistribution recently revealed by the Na-tional Resources Committee, govern-ment organization acting under thechairmanship of Harhld L. Iekes, Secre-tary of the Interior. The report of thecommittee, "Couisu.ner Incomes in theUnited States,' is based upon the resultsof a WPA project which surveyed over100,000 families and individuals in astudy of consumer inconeis and expendi-.rues. The WPA survey was eondutetd

jo,,intly by the Bureau of Labor Statisticsif the U. I)epartment of Labor and theBureau of Home Economics of the U. S.Department of Agriculture, with the co-operation of the National ResourcesCiuimnittee.

The present report, the contribution ofthe National Resources Committee to theentire project, was prepared under thedirection of Dr. Ilildegarde Kneeland. Itis particularly ignifieant in that it eresents the first estimate on the distributionof our national income ever to have beenmade from a nation-wide canvass ofactual conditions. On the basis of thejoint WPA survey of 300000 faminilies andindividuals. representing all walvs of lifeand major parts of the country, the Na-tional Resources Committee has preparedestimates with reference to the eountryas a whole.

In this study habout 1.0 per cent of thetotal national population was first sella-rated out from, the rest, as having be-Iongeod ritllr tLu imtitutiunal gruups fuidefectives, dependents and delinquents orto semi-institutional groups, such as Ohrarmy, the navy, labor camps, CCC caipsand crews aboard ships. , entier s ofthese institutional groups were not con-sidered to be comparable to other incymeearning and spending groups in the na-tion, since part or all of the incomes whichthey received was in the formn of sublsist-nce and care provided them by the

institutions.

29 MILLION FAMIliES INVOLVEI)

After the elimination of the institu-tional groups, the remaining ppulationwas separated, for the i)urposes of thestudy, into spending units-i.e. famnlilies(90.6 per cent of the population) and

unattached individuals (7.8 per ent).The term "family" was iefined as twoor more persons living together as oneeconouic unit, having a coonmnO or pOOledincome and living under a common roof."It thus implies an eeonomic-family con-cept, rather than the more usual con-notation of a unit tied through blood andmarital relationship, but not necessarilyliving together.

Of the 39 million such "consumerunits" within the nation, as they aretermnd in this report, 10 million repre-sented unattached individuals and 29million represented families. The 291million families included 11G million per-sons; the institutional groups includedtwo million, bringing our total populationat the time of the survey up to about 128million.

The National Resources Committee esti-mated our total national income for theyear 1935-36 to be in the neighborhood of$60 billion. The committee's consumerincome study reveals some very startlingfacts about the way inwas shared by various gro,ttion.

They are alsoinfilaomabie.

The chief problem encountered betweentrasn.mitter and antelnn is for the trains-nitter to deliver radio frequency powerto the anterln or radiator with the least

There is a great variety of radiators,from those of the "'beam' type used byairways to the enormous tower of thetransatlantic system, but they all pcr-foirm the same function, that of settingUp1 eleetro-magnetic w;aves in the ether.

All conductors when traversed by analternating current have both capacityand inductance. In a transmitting radia-tor we make use of the inductance con-ponent. As the high frequency alternat-ing current surges up and down theradiator it sets up an electro-magneticfrield around it. The capacity field is verysmall in comparison with the magneticfield. The best radiator known is thestraight vertical type of Fig, A. It has amaximumn electro-magnetic field sur-rounding it and a minimum electrostaticfield, the electromagnetic field beingpractically evenly distributed along itsg length. The magnetic field around theat coil of Fig. B is much greater than that

In Fig. C we have what is called aclosed oscillatory circuit. It is in thiscircuit where the high frequency currentis generated when properly connected toa vacuum tube. The frequency of theeircuit is determined by the amount ofinductance and capacity. The frequencycan be changed by altering the numberof turns in the coil or the size of thecondenser, or both. It is easier to varythe size of the condenser than to changethe nrmber of turns in the coil. For thisreasonI variable condensers are mostlyused to vary the frequency of such uscil-lating circuits.

War is Vast Engineering EnterpriseUST as the American workman has, toaid him in producing goods, more

J and better machines than the work-man of any other nationality, so theAmerican soldier, in the event that he iscalled to war, should have at his com-maud equipment of greater power andusefulness than any other country cansupply. This is the aim of the U. S.Department of War which has been di-recting its greatest efforts during thepast five year, not toward the enlistingand training of .ant numbers of soldiers,but on the surveying of the industrialfacilities of the United States and a care-ful, technical c-ordination of Americanindustries with the demands that wouldhe made of them in the event of war.

When the United States entered theWorld War one of the chief problems wasthe mobilization of industry. Becausethis phase had not received sufficientplanning in advance, industries makingproducts for peace-time use had to bethrown out of gear violently and sud-denly; then posibly months of delaywere consumed while their means ofproduction we re -fitted to turn out theArmy's required materials.

Under the industrial mobilization planof 1936, approved by the Secretaries ofWar and Navy, some 20,000 producingfacilities have bem surveyed and thosewhich are capable of turning quickly frompeace to war prodction have been as-signed their part. At the present time10,000 of these already have definiteassigrnments, in ase of a future declarm-tion of war, that will cover every majoritem of munitions and supplies. An activefile is maintained that covers changes inequipment, processes or production capa-city. It is not msrely that industry mustbe ready to gear itself to Army require-ments, but the Army must be sufficientlyfamiliar with the regular processes of in-dustry that the gears may be shiftedsmoothly and quietly.

Emphasis has been shifted from mili-tary glory and brass buttons, to engineer-ing achievaements Recently the CollierTrophy, awarded each year for thegreatest achievem.ent in aviation whose

value has been demonstrated in actualuse," was captured for the fourth timesince 1924 by the U. S. Army Air Corpsfor the developmint of the first success-ful pressure cabin plane-one whichmaintains conatart normal interior pres.sure and may be flown at high altitudes.Army engineers and scientists haveplayed a very imrpotant part in the de-velopment and progress of aircraft, radio,chemistry, constrction and other engi-neering, shipbnuildg, medicine, construc-tion materials, metals, fabrics, motors,even down to the preparation andpackaging of food. But they have donethis as much as possible in co-operationwith private industry, which has gladlyutilized the advances they lhave nmadefor the benefit of the public as well as ofthe Army and Navy.

In the seventy-fifth anniversary num-

Glory and brass buttons taboo.Production and procurement aim.Labor's role?

her of the Army and Navy Journal, asemi-official magazine, industrial prepa-ration is the note struck again and againby high officers and officials. AssistantSecretary of War Louis Johnson, who hasparticular charge of industrial pro-curement, an., makes this significantstatement:

UNITARY MOBILIZATION

"Gratifying as the progress in plansfor production and procurement of mili-tary material has been, it is only half ofthe problem imposed on the nation bywar. The entire industrial structuremust co-operate to meet the needs ofwar, We must minimize production ofnon-essentials. Industry must be pre-pared to relinquish adequate manpowerto the fighting forces yet it cannot ignorethe civilian population or lose its ind.s-trial productivity, which is so essentialto the surcess of the national war effort.

"The problem opened up by the at-tempt to guide and supervise the eco-nomic effort of the nation is virtually lim-itless. However, sound plans are nowready for the mobilization and directionin war of all the principal contributoryfactors in the industrial effort-power,fuel, transportation and labor. Provisionis made, not only for utilization of thelabor strength of the nation for maxi-mum productivity, but it is co-ordinatedwith a plan for 'selective service' whichwill insure against draft to the armed

forces of skilled labor essential to neces-sary production."

Incidentally, during September, a veryimportant order was issued which indi-cates a more sympathetic and apprecia-tivw, attitude toward labor on the partof Army and Navy chiefs. Major Gen-eral Malim Craig, chief of staff of theWar Department, issued a signed orderrecognizing the right of civilian em-ployees of the department to join aunion of their choice and to be rep-resented in collective bargaining by unioncommittees.

In order that the industrial plantswhich would be called upon to manufac-ture war supplies shall have in advancethe actual experience of doing so--andthus find out exactly what changes intheir productive machinery would benecessary, they will be given small con-traula for these supplies and appropria-tions for production machinery for thepurpose of experiment. In his article inthe Army and Navy Journal, "The U. S.Army Today," Secretary of War HarryH. Woodring thus describes the problemand the proposed solution:

"From the standpoint of industrial mo-bilization, an activity directly under thesupervision of the Assistant Secretary ofWar, the Educational Order Act, whichwas passed in the closing days of theSeventy-fifth Congress, is one of the mostconstructive steps taken since the war.Successful production of complicated munitions requires literally months of studyand preparation before a single itemcan be fabricated. A new arrangement ofthe plant may be required. Special ma-chine tools must be designed and built.Complicated and difficult aids to manu-facture must be worked out on the draft-

Sons of Electrician Fathers Like TradeT IE allure and stability of the dee-

trieal trade is never better exempli-fied than in the fact that sons of

electrician fathers adept the occupationof their sires.

Literally thousands of buyt are noweither apprenties, or journeymen in theelectrical trade, some of them even work-ing alongside of their fathers and learn-ing the trade direct from the old timers.This alone is a stabilizing force in theindustry and in the union. The sons haveimbibed the trade union philosophy fromtheir fathers. They learn the trade fromthe same source and many of them are be-coming first rate leaders in the unionand in the industry by virtue of thisdouble allegiance.

Not long ago a visitor to an Americanhigh school asked a graduating class ofboys what trade they would like to enter.There was a sprinkling of hands for anumber of trades, but when he said,"Eletrieity," four-fifths of the class heldup their hands. The fact is, there is a

HARVEST OF WANDERLUSTsol:loguy of the Curbstone Sitter

By JAM*ES I. WALLACE, L. U. No. f-77I remember, perhaps ruefully,

Those days when I was young;We traveled about from, job to Job

Wherever wire was to be strung.Horses, mules and wagons

Were our only means of transpurtatio.Me, I'II just an apprentice then;

About the time of the floodat Dayton.The linemen .were my heroes then,

And the grunts ,ere so much dirt.Gold old pali, the linemen; maybe rowdies;

But they'd give you their last shirt!Occaionally some rrippled Brother,

Or. maybe, one too old to hilke,Would stop off log enough to bum us,

Then ag.in he'd hit the pike,.Deep down Inside of me I'd pity them,

But sneer at their lack of hustle;I thought the fact that they were bumming

Was a matter of mind, not muscle!And when our w.agon would pass themn,

A-sittinr on the curb,Scortfully I'd toss them, a coin

lHere, lad, go get you a shot of herb!"Them was the gpod o1' days. all right.

When a man would work and fight;Saturday nights! Whenever we had a payday

And oi unton meeting night.I f(llowed the paths trod by the boomers

Down the far hazy trail;Or to a liner clime.

But more often to some lousy Jail!Cleveland! Pittsburgh! Grand Crossing-

Where the "drags" were eery which-.way hound.I)o.,, to Texas! Cheewawan!

Then haIL up to cool Puget Sound.Then a shot up to 01' Dominion, Vancouver;

The ha'k over the hump tI Butt-Might be a Job there! There i a Job here

Which way? We didn't care a hr*.

I've seen Tallaha..leWhen the hot summer's sun was heating down;

And Alaska, in the dead of winter,Using a parka'a hood for my crown.

And. like the old, old saying,I've rolled myself tesn of moss;

A few staunch friends I've gained.But my life's been a 6nanial loss!

The money? We l no use cryingOver milk that I didn't keep!

lint the folks bck home-the friends I've lost-There's times when I could weep!

Maybe it's a woman; or lonely nightsOn a pain-ridden hospital bed

Thnt starts you thInlkisg; something you missed?A home? A roof over your head?

A wife? Maybe children?Itnever seemed very logicalbeo!

The idea won't be forgotten!You fight it and It grows on you more and more!

Another old, old sayIng: As ye sow so shall ye reap!You'll find out soon it's so;

When you look for that steady jobh-You'll get instead a polite or vigorous NO!

The signs of the ,road" are stamped on you!here's no place where you fit

The boss won't take a chance; "Good man," hemight aree,

"But you! You'll only luit!"You'll find there's other reasons: Too old!

That last fall left a kink!Youil fight to work and hold a Job,

But you can't buck what people think!If there's a moral to this thale,

And if you're in a mood to find it,I'll spoil your fun and point it out;

That is, if you don't mind it!If pastures green in other fields,

Your dreams at night disturb;Stop! Think! Put yourself where you find me-

Volume I XXXVI Wasbinton. D. C., October, 1938 No. 10

Buck Merritt Walter Gordon Merritt, son of a labor-Rides Again baiting father, has made his career

and fortune by labor baiting. In thegolden open-shop era Mr. Merritt operated the Leaguefor Industrial Rights, formerly the Anti-Boycott Asso-ciation, and collected money from manufacturers tobring cases against labor unions into court. Heavilyfinanced, he has to his credit many victories in courtshamstringing labor unions.

With the coming of a new era in American life, theenactment of NRA, especially Section 7A, guarantee-ing collective bargaining rights, and with the passageof the National Labor Relations Act, Mr. Merritt hashis style seriously crimped. At the same time manyof his former donors refuse to contribute funds forlabor baiting. He must be regarded as an ante-diluvian specimen still extant and still at work.

His latest effort to recoup his fortune and to fellowhis old line of attack is in a ease brought by himagainst Local Union 3, International Brotherhood ofElectrical Workers, New York City, in behalf of 14member companies of the National Electrical Manu-facturers Association. The International Brother-hood of Electrical Workers as an organization is in noway involved in this suit. The charge is violation ofthe Sherman Anti-Trust law. Many members of theNational Electrical Manufacturers Association refusedto be a party and contribute funds for this attack. Thebeneficiaries of Mr. Merritt's latest are admittedly theGeneral Electric and Westinghouse Companies. Mr.Merritt is following his usual line of argument andpublicity in this case.

The stories beginning to appear in trade publicationslike Electrical Contracting (this publication should beashamed of publishing this screed) project the anti-trust case against a background of Dewey investiga-tion and rackets. The subtle effort is to connect inthe public mind the anti-trust case with racketeering.

The second fact which should be noted about thiscase is that the Sherman Anti-Trust law was enactedin 1891. It has always been a dead letter in so far ascontrolling monopoly, as was the intention under the

act, as witness the present stludy of monopoly by thePresident's committee.

The third fact to be noted is that the Sherman Anti-Trust law itself was written by a conservative Con-gress at a time when public opinion had not come toaccept collective bargaining as it now accepts it asan inalienable right of the American worker.

Another fact to be stressed is that the ShermanAnti-Trust Act states that it is to protect trade andcommerce against unlawful restraint and monopolies:it is a national act which rests upon the right of Con-gress to regulate interstate commerce; and, that thecase brought in New York is purely local dealing withthe lawful rights of organized workers in the city ofNew York to protect their own interests.

Another important point is that the Sherman Anti-Trust Act speaks of corporations and associationsexisting under or authorized by either the UnitedStates, the laws of any of the territories, the laws ofany state, or the laws of any foreign country. Obvi-ously trade unions do not come in this category exceptby crooked twisting of the intent.

This point is further emphasized by the history ofthe enactment of the law. Senator Sherman himselfintroduced labor exemption provisos to his Act whichwere not passed. His labor exemption proviso read:"Provided that this Act shall not be construed toapply to any arrangements, agreements, associationsor combinations between laborers made with a viewof lessening the number of hours of their labor or ofincreasing their wages; nor to any arrangements,agreements, associations, combinations among personsengaged in horticulture or agriculture made with aview of enhancing the price of their own agriculturalor horticultural products."

No one in the know takes Mr. Merritt himself or hiscases seriously. They realize that they are broughtfor propaganda purposes and are predicated on shakylaw.

Against Robert J, Watt, personal representative ofFascism President William Green of the American

Federation of Labor, spoke before the In-ternational Management Congress in Washington on"Labor's Aims and Responsibilities." Mr. Watt em-phatically attacked the totalitarian state, in particular,fascism. When his speech was given to the press, hefound that the self-elected censors of the InternationalManagement Congress had omitted his remarks onfascism.

Hiere are some paragraphs from Mr. Watt's address:"Labor insists that the state and all its machinery

exist for men and not vice versa. To hold any otherview is to degrade mankind and to dissipate theaccomplishments of civilization. The totalitarianstate is the product of desperation of a deluded peoplewho have failed in time to insist that human rightsare superior to the privilege of man-created agencies.

"It is labor's first aim and responsibility to defend

October, 19318530

The Journal of Electrical Work Y., and Operators

and promote the human rights of man to enjoy libertyof conscience, political, economic and social freedom,and the privilege of personal property rights."

British Labor on What has British labor been doingCzechoslovakia during the recent crisis over

Czechoslovakia? British labor hasjust finished the Seventieth Annual Trades Union Con-gress at Blackpool, and George Hicks, a British build-ing tradesman, who is also a member of Parliament,made attack on the policy of the government. Heindicted the indecisive and misdirected policy ofBritish government during the last seven years asbeing responsible for the present crisis, and declaredthat the weakness of this policy has been an incentiveto those powers which put their faith in force.

He strongly condemned the provocative and treach-erous policy of the German government. He declaredat the same time that British labor had no quarrelwith the German people, reminding them that in someof the darkest hours of their history British labor hadstood firmly for a policy of generous understanding.

Mr. Hicks demanded that the British governmentleave no doubt in the mind of the German governmentthat England would unite with France and Russia toresist any attack against Czechoslovakia. He urgedthe immediate recall of Parliament.

"Even with Czechoslovakia," he said, "we are satis-fied that if Germany secured its whole demands, itwould only be accepted as a stepping stone to otherdemands."

If the Sudeten Germans ill Czechoslovakia had beentreated half as horribly as the Jews had in Germany,there would be something for Hitler to talk about,he emphasized. The Czechs have gone the limit inattempting to accommodate matters. A determinedstand against the aggressors, made in conjunctionwith France and Russia, would have the support ofthe whole British nation, Hicks concluded.

Winehellism If we ran our editorial columns asWalter Winchell runs his gossip

column, we would this month ask:What prominent woman social worker makes the

link between officials of the National Labor RelationsBoard and the Communist Party?

Is it true that when she lunches every Tuesday withone member of the board and one high official, shelays out Communist Party proposals for the comingweek?

Lauding a The British and Swedish labor commis-Method sion reports are now before the American

public. They are admirable documents,clear, factual and non-propagandistic. So gratefuland praiseful has the American public been of thesereports that few words of censure have been levelledagainst them. Indeed members of the commission

have been afraid that the reports were innocuous be-cause they did not attract criticism. Thus, again, wehave proof that, in a democracy, the best method ofeducation is the factual and non-propagandistic.

When government representatives become violentpartisans, they usually become, whether they knowit or not, apostles of force as compared to persuasion,of despotism as compared to democracy.

The Electrical The electrical inspector, like manyInspector public servants, is little appreciated

and little understood. He has animprl'tatlt function to perform, one entirely of publicsignificance, but he works unseen and unlauded. Whatdoes he do? He directs the installation of electricalmaterial to that end that it will prevent waste of lifeand property by fire. At the same time, as a resultof his principal job, he gives the house owner moredurable and more serviceable electrical wiring. In thissense, his trade is exactly that of an electrical union.which seeks to serve the public as well as its ownessential needs. The fact that scores of I. B. E. W.members are electrical inspectors sharpens this point.

More expressly, the electrical inspector is chargedwith making and with keeping electrical codes. Hemust know what types of wiring are best, and he musthave courage, diligence, efficiency, and public spiritto see that these types and not lesser and cheapertypes are installed. Usually the electrical inspectoris notoriously ill-paid. Some of them in cities of300,000 receive only $200 a month. They must worklong hours, and take heavy responsibility; and there-fore deserve better at the hands of an unthinkingmunicipality.

Chamberlain's Neville Chamberlain, premier of Eng-Policy land, a conservative, is breaking all

precedents in his efforts to preventwar, by going directly to Germany to see Hitler. Underthe circumstances, for us Americans, with our eyesclouded by disillusionment, it is easy to cry "perfidiousAlbion." However, what Chamberlain appears to betrying to do is to make every effort to keep the peace,so that if war comes, he will have a consolidated nationbehind him. There is little doubt that Hitler hasmade Chamberlain's task more difficult by pretendingthat Chamberlain is betraying Czechoslovakia. andfavoring the Nazis.

After one has said this, he has paid his debt toChamberlain. If England deserts the Czechs, thebetrayal will go down as one of the great moral crimesof all history. The treaty of Versailles is dead butthe compact which binds the small democracy to thegreater is more sacred than a mere treaty. It restsupon the tacit bond between nations of like ideals andlike goals. Czechoslovakia for its courage and sin-cerity deserves the allegiance of every nation, antIevery citizen of every nation, who believes there canbe no civilization, without civilized practices.

4mfune"M4I k/tTHE NAZI IDEAL

By A WORKERS WIFE

A I write the seething cauldron ofEuropean politics has quieted downto a simmer. Czechoslovakia is be-

ing dismembered. The nazi state hasenriched itself, has risen another notch inpower and resources.

I have just received a study that eastsan extraordinarily penetrating light intotile nazi ideal-the exaltation of thestate, with which is inextricably identifiedthe figure of the Fuehrer-,ad the effecton the life, even the character, of theordinary citizen. One is raised up, theother is east down. One is glorifled, theother is embased. One is deified, theother is brutalized.

The document I efer to is a study ofcourt ases in Germany, published by theInternational Transportworkers Federa-tion, a European labor organization.Ruthless suppression, during the years ofthe Hitler regime, has been directed otionly against the Jews, but against allpeople with even a tinge of mental iad.e-pendence. Who can tally the record ofthe thousands of men and women whohave already been weeded out, somemerely on the suspicion that they did notrigidly conform to the nazi pattern? Theexecutionts, suicides, floggings, tortures,imprisonments?

Two months record of court proceed-ings as reported in the four big Germannewspapers of Berlin, Hamburg, Leipzigand Breslau showed leniency, almost in-difference, toward individuals guilty oftheft, roubery, fraud, arson, assault, mal-slaughter, murder-all crimes againstother individuals-but swift and severepunishment against those guilty of evena whisper ol criticism against the state.

"A woman at Erfurt denounced anenemy to the police on a trumped-upcharge of abortion. Seeing the vile viewsof the accused, the court sentenced herto four months' imprisonment. Nine wo-men and two men in the district of Zeitz,though not guilty of holding vile views,were sentenced to three to four months'imprisonment for belonging to the for-bidden Soiety of Bible Research. Thissect is not opposed to the nazi state. Ifit were, its members, like the illegal tradeunionists, social democrat, comnmunists,black frontists or members of the Free-dom Party, would be prosecuted for irea-son. Eve,, the nazi courts accuse theBible Researchers of nothing more seri-ous than continuing to belong to a lot-bidden society. They know the sect isnot concerned with worldly things likenational socialism. But they refuse todeify Hitler. to perform the Hitler salute,

or to take the Hitler oath. Like Quakersand Mennonites again, they refuse mili-tary service or to work in the munitionwornks. For this the society has been for-bidlen, alnd its members are condemnedto heavier penalties than real criminals.During the period we are monsidringimany verdicts were delivered againstBible Researchers. Verdicts delivered inconnection with political opposition arerarely published.

"'In Wittenberg a card-player, angeredby the mocking remarks of a loker-on,struck him on the head with the leg ofa chair. The latter collapsed and had tospend a long time in hospital. The ruf-fian was sentenced to three weeks' im-prisonment. A man with many previousconvictions beat his 20-year-old wife.Once he dragged her by the hair throughthe house and pressed a revolver againsther temple. The woman thought theweapon was loaded and suffered a seri-ous shock. The man was condemned tofive months' imprisonment,

"Five months' imprisonment was alsothe sentence passed by the special courtat Leipzig upon a workman charged withmaking a slighting reference to theswastika."

"Terms of one year's imprisonmentwere inflicted by nazi judges upon: apreviously convicted thief who stole 52marks, a gold watch and a wedding ringfrom his father and the 13 marks rentallowance of a poor old woman; a boywho together with his brother a.sa.ulteda woman in the street and stranlgled herwhile the brother grabbed her handbag;four members, three men and a woalan, ofthe Bible Research Society.

"At Gorlitz a previously convicted thiefwho had stolen articles of clothing froma saleswoman was sentenced to 13 monthsin gaol; At Halle two members of theBible Research sect were sentenced to15 months in gaol each.

"A man in Dresden at the slightestprovocation struck the six-year-old sonbrought into the marriage by his wifewith his fists, a cane or a horsewhip. Hewas sentenced to 18 month*' impriron-ment. Two Berliners deceived a work-man new to Berlin into believing they hadrented a room for him and giving the,his last 10 marks. The *windlk, .emr

each sentenced to three months in prison.Of 168 members of the Bible Researchsect a number were sonten.iee to fouryears' imprisonment by the ramburgprovincial court.

"Four years' penal servitude was in-fdieted upon the following: A man who

set light to his house in order to get theinsurance money; a Magdeburg commu-nist charged with high treason; a man ofFurth, Bavaria, who apparently was amember of a conservative or Catholicpolitical group. On other members of thelast-menlioned group sentences of up toeight years' penal ,ervitude were passed.

"Five years' penal servitude was in-flicted on: A Coblenz official charged withcorruption and disloyalty; a member ofthe Black Front eharged with illegalactivities; a social demorwat of Hammon a similar charge.

"in present-day Germany it is excep-tional for penal servitude to be inflictedfor non-political crimes, the view preva-lent in German courts being that ordinaryimprisonment is suient punishmelt forserious crimes against common law. Inthe ease of political crimes, on the con-trary, penal servitude is the rule, evenwhen there is not the slightest threat tothe state, as in thi case of the BibleResearch sect.

"Ten years' penal servitude: A man inArnstadt, who made a flourishing busi-ness out of forgery and perjury, and hadinduced six of his employees to makefalse statements in his favour in a law-suit; two social democrats charged withillegal political activities at Harm.

"A Berlin man had sunk deeply owingto drunkenness and gambling, and quar-relled constantly with his wife. One nighthe knocked the sleeping woman uncon-seives, and turned on the gas to asphyxi-ate her. He was sentenced to tix monthsin prison. In Glatz a man struck his in-structor on the head with a board andkilled him: sentence two years' imprison-ment. A man struck his wife on the headwith a hammer and menaced her with aknife: four years' penal servitude for at-tempted murder. A 20-year-old youth ofBreslau murdered his aunt and squan-dered the money of which he had robbedher; 15 years' penal servitude. The samesentence was passed on a Lubeeker whoshot his sweethcart The public prose-

acutor had on good grounds demanded thedeath sentence, but the judges herewanted to avoid it and based the sentenceon manslaughter.

"There are also eases, however, whereGrerman judges pronounce the death sen-tenee where the law permits of a lightersentence. Thus the court at Berlin sen-tenced the communist Lovacs to death ona charge of high treason and the con-munists Steidle, Liselotte Hernann andGoritz on charges of treason and hightreason. All four were beheaded."

Editor:An incident that occurredi in a five and-ten

cent store recently has inpressed nie verymuch and has made met think the outlawingof foreign and non-uniou goad8 can beaceompisihed.

Of course. this does not mean that thelaw can compel the stores to purchase unionor American inade prodiieta. What I wishto imply is that if all union. mm. bers andtheir families would only heed the advice4f our unions and deorndiil merchandisebearing a uion label, as well as reruestingAmerican made goods, the stores wouldsoon, diiscotinue buying foiri ,ti and non-nl ion products.

If foreign goods were not 'laced by ourbursiness inen on the countelr of theirstores. the A.lierican public would have noother alternative but be compelled to buyAmerican and unilan made goods. This pro-cedure would have a great deal to do withtile Iee.reain of relief and tax iurden.It would lie the m oans f ,pruoioting work forthe great arny of workers who are now idle.

Five-a d-ten-cent stores. inl particular, goin for foreigl goods. Wile walkirig throughafive-and-ten-oent store revnotly I noticeda couple of pieces of crockery which at-

acted my eye. I bouit these articles, butoil the verge of leavy ing i store i recalledthat I hall not asked wr,-e the articles in

luestiou had been male. I then p roeeededto ask, and was told salle were made onforeign shores. It did not take me longto ask for a refund. When accosted by themanager ef the store and asked lily reasonfor not taking the rtls aftrer ]uyingsane, xI xplained. i also iproseI.e.. to tellhini that his company and all ethel businesshouses hlevine such lnerrclhadi e werle ictually causing less Job, fi' our own Ame ricanpeople. He readily agreed with me andin fact told ue he had hadll peious com-plaists and that the conpsia y had decidedto gradually decrease their forein buying.ITe did say the reason they nre unable tocease enitrely is due to riot beeing able tomeet the prices of their conipetitors asthle other stores could sell cheaper buyingforeign and non-union goods.

But if all union nembera and their ftli-lies and friends would only dn,,.a. unionalii Anterican made goods, all stores wouldsoon follow suit and our battlie would bewon. We know, of course, we woould paya little more, but it would be worth while.The product would be aiade better, thusgiving longer service.

No non-union or foreign product can evercampare to a union or Anmerican, madeproduct, Get an article of each and youwill readily see the difference. Take anAmerican made toothpick, for instance, andplace sanie beside a foreign made toothpick.Oae is smooth but tough to break. Theforeign make is brittle and breaks easily.That same example goes for everythingmaIde non-union or made on foreign shores.The labor is cheap, so one cannot expectgood workmanship. There is absolutely nocomnparion. Union and American madeproducts are best, regardless of price. Bearthat in mind always. MiNO IMrzi JACOs.

On August 4, 19f, repreentatilves froml,eal Unions f No. 102, 211, 98. 14, 52, 456,I581, 367, 730, 67{, S62 and 209, imet in thecity of Trenton, N. J, and formed the NewJersey State Electricl Workers Assoeia-tion. Since that time Local Unions Nos. 592and 43s9 have affilatLd, Every constructionlocal union in the state has affiliated. Newlyinstituted B locals are being prevailed uponto affiliate. Much heneat has been derivedfor the construction locals by joining to-gether and marching toward a commongoal.

The association immediately upon beinginstituted was faced with a state wide prob-len oa the open shop policy of the PublicService Electric and Gas Company on theirconstruction work. Undaunted the associa-tion eeepted the challenge. The co-opera-tion of the International Office was enlistedand under the direction of President D. W.Tracy a sub-committeo of the stats associa-tion was formed. This commltte, becameknoon as the committee on utility affairsof the state association.

ilnternational Vi President E. F. Kiotersered as chairman of the committee. Thecommittee was formed on November 23,1935, and functioned until it was dischargedon July 3, 193ss.

The nine months work of the committeeo, utility affairs resultod in an understand-lig with the Public Service Electric and Gas(;ompany whereby members of 1. B. E. W.local unions would he employed on all newconstruetio.n commercial buildings, ,ub-sta-

tions, generating stations, switching sta-tiens, alterations and additions thereon,

During the time the committee functionedthe value of the I. B. E. W. Research De-partment under the caphlie supervision ofBrother K. H. Hedges was seen. Brother

tedves co-operated wholeheartedly andfurnished much of the information anddata which could not have been obtainedotherwise.

Under the skillful leadership of VicePresident Kioter all activities were co-ordi-sated in a smooth lfunlctionhing state-widfront. president Traey took special inter-eat in the work performi.ed by the commit-tee and approved the understanding ar-rivied t.

The association's legislation committeeunder the chalirmnship of Louis P. Mar-cinter has worked untiringly and lobbied forigielation benefieial to labor nod against

legislation that was contrary to the pr'ini-piles of organized labor. Under the leader-ship of Brother Marciante a strong recog-nired lobby has been achieved.

In 1937 Business Manager Harold A.Pierson, of Local No. 581, Morristown, waselected to the State Assembly. All indica-tions point to his re-election in 193$. WithBrother Pierson in the Assembly the pres-tige of the state association has risen.

Through the state association a statewide understanding has been arrived atwith a number of road and highway con-tractors which proeides for the awardingof contracts for electrical work in connec-tio, with road and highway construction tocontrators employing i. B. E, W. members,.This is the first understanding of its kindever reached in New Jersey. As tine goeson improvements on this understanding willbe made.

The activities of the local unions are nowbeing co-ordinated through the state asso-ciation in on effort to negotiate a statewide agreement with the Now Jersey BellTelephone Company. We are con fidnt ofthe outcome of these negotiations.

A move is now on foot to co-ordinate theouting activities of each separate localunion into one gigantir annual outing forall the I. B. E. W. locals in the state. Thisis eoxected to mature at the assocaitiosnet meeting.Through the association, ideas, plans,

poliiesl and ideals of the i. D. E. W. areadvanced. A better understanding has beencreated among the l]cal unil.n. which hasresuilted it a closer bond of fellowship.Membership in the association is voluntary.A loral union has yet to renounce itsafiliation

Officers of the state association are asfollows: R. A. John, Trenton. presidrent;William Shaffer, Plainfield, vice presidont;S. J. Critiano, Paterson. secretary, and

Bert Chambers, Atlantic City, sergeant at-arms. The aTove-nnnicd offiers andthe following constitute the executiveboard: Samuel Moskowita, Paterson;H. A. Piersob, Morristown: John J. Doran,Camden; Goorge Rens, Jersey City; GeorgeStryker, Newark; J. Leo Brown, Elizabeth:Jobhn C. Boll, Perth Anboy; J. N. Penning-ton, Asbury Park: E. Pattengill, Vineland:E. Conrad, Newark;: and A. P. Boenner.Philipsburg.

The assoeiotion is affiliated with the NewJersey State Building and ConstructionTrades Council and the New Jersey StateFedration of Labor. Brother J. Turner,Newark, represents the association at theState Building and Cunstruction TradesCouncil meetings and Brother E. Sofeld.Perth Arboy, represents the association atthe meetings of the State Federation ofLabor.

Since the formation of the state associa-tion much has been accomplished. Muchmore remalin. Whatever the future holdsit will fud the New Jerse y State ElectricalWorkers ready and willing to advance thecause of the i. B. L.

the number of oral pieces and the crowdwhich oveflvowed the funeral parlor, bearwitness to the popularity of the man,. Andthe out-of-tllown representation testified tothe esteem in which he was held by theInternational Office and labor leaders ofnearby cities,.

In closing, the hope of the local union is.that the guilty parties will be found andbrought to Justice.

October, 1938 The Jouonai of Electrical Workers and Operators 535

In the pring and summer of11137 L. U. No. B-3 made a real jobof organizing the workers of theportable lamps, lamp shades andhovltict I idustry. This orginixl-ing went on up to the enmld of July,when it was found necessary, by aunanimous vote of the nlenlher-ship, to eail a general strike. Thetrilke lasted five weeks. at the

,d, of which time we came outvictorious with our irst agree-ment. Before I go on to explainthis agreement, I will give a gen-eral ides of what the onditioiiwelre in the industry. The inbus-Iry consists of about 3,00 ~ork-ers, the majority of whom are em-ployed in what is known is the 5and i0e store trade, that is to say,they manufacture inexpensivetable lamps and shades that arefound in the 5 and 10,c tors.These workers were working 48 THiii 54 hours a week, with strnight

time for overtime, Saturdays Sun,inys and holidays. The rate o.f pay in theseshops was from $7 to about $12 a week. Thisbeing seasonal work at the edl of each seasonthe employers would lay off thi slow workersand keep the cheapest and f sltESt ones. Thisshould give the reader an idea of how con-ditiois were when the worker banded together anid went on strike. Thi employersbanded together and forned an association,the agreement that was lig,1ed. and that weare working under not~, conltains some ofthese fine points.

All worlkers reeiving Undr $14 a weekwere brought up to $14. The workers earn-ing from $14 to $24.9 receirld a $2 increase,and those earning $25 and ui received$2.50 increase per week. 'Th work week wasCut down to 40 hours, with time and one thirdfor overtime and Saturdays, and time andone-half for Sundays and holidays. The mostihportant clause is the closed shop."

Oar season ias started again. but not with abang, as was expected. Perhals it's liecausebusiness in general, throughout UnitedStates isn't so hot, but there is somethingelse which this great International Brother-hood of Eletnricai Workers can remedy forus. anti that is the cheap labor competitionin other parts of the country. I ant speakingpartieuhlrly to the Chicago and Philadelphialocals, and to all other Ioials in th le other-hooed in cities where portable Iampr, shadesand novelties are manufactured, They arenot rigani'tl ian. the conditions in theindustry are as bad, if not worse, than theywere here in New York City before we be-came organized. It is my wish, and I know Ispeak for every member of the "B. I." divi-sion, that you make a determined effort toorganize these workers. local Union No.B-3 will be more than glad, I'm sure, togive you whatever assistance they can, inthe forIll of suggestions. Just drop us aline and we will explain exactly how we didit, and by our experienee we will be able towarn you against some of the mistakes that

I would like to say a *w wordsto our members about &tltcdlngtheir meetings. During the per-iod when negotiations were goingon our meeting rooms werecrowded to rapacity. After theagreement wL4 signed there was ageneral fall in attendance. Sometook the atitudiE, 'Well, it's allover now, we have a union, we payour dues, we are getting every-thing that's coming to us, what'sthe sense of going to the ineeting?Let the other fellow do it," Othersreasoned, especially during theslack period, Ilnt not working,why should I attend the meet-

)RT ilgs?"' Well, let me tell yousomething, we have an agreement.we are working under better coI-

ditions, etc.. but how was it done? Byjoining together, forming a union, everyonefighting as one, and continuing to fight untilwe got what we were after. We never wouldhave done it if, as arn individual, we went tothe boss ani asked for a raise, extra moneyfor overtime, 40-hout week, nol We wouldhave been fired. But we were intelligentenough to see the need of sticking togetherand demanding what is rightfully ours.Now, can't you see the folly of not attendingyour meetings? The employers will get theimpression that we are not interested ineach other ally Iore, and they will try toget out of living up to their obligations. Wedon't want to revert lack to those terribleconditions we were working under beforewe joined liands and stuck together, ofcourse not, and I know that we are intell-gent enough to realize that. So let's go,pack those meeting rooms on the secondTuesday of the month. show an intere.t inour meetings, get up on the floor and speakyour piece. Only by so doing will we ad-vance anid Eiiiinu. to get what is rightfullyours.

L. U. NO. 7, SPRINGFIELD, MASS.Editor:

I guess it in about time I sat down andwrote a wee letter to our JOURNA.L, but itseems the weather has been so mean andnasty and everyone complaining of colds andwhen you have a cold you have no ambitionfor doing anything. And just when theweather man is giving us a couple of nice daysalong comes a nice hurricane and ruins every-thing. Some of the boys even had a littleluck in manding some extra money at theEastern States Exhibition, being held inWest Springfield. when along came friendhurricane and it surely did a job on the ex-hibition. You could not find it the next day.Everything was flat on the ground and theyar still working on it to save all they can.but it was lucky there were no lives lost.

We ha been real lucky in Springfield incompiarison to other cities, for there mustbe some pretty sad cases around the country.As yet I have not heard of any of the Blroth-er losing their homes or being in want fromthe ferood. It has made a little work forsome of the boys, but there were plenty ofmen out of work to ake care of the littlework to do.

Buididng ia Springfield is at a standstilljust now and there does not seem to be anybig work going on or any future work of anysize in the wind, so it looks to be one toughwinter for the boys around Springfieid. unlesssomething unforeseen happens to cheer us up.

Our busiless manager is doing all in hispower to have the city administration build

anew trade school and a jail, which wouldhelp the boys get some work this winter. Itseemns tough for some of the factories arouijIdSpringfield that have just gotten over payingthe expenses on the flood of 1936 to have oaneon their hands in such a short time. I onlyhope that they do not think of moving to someether city,. but the largest cities seem to hehit the hardest. so it would be hard to pickout a spot that the flood wonld not hit.Quite & few of our large cities and townsaround Springfield must have been hit realhard, but that is nature and we will have ahard job stopping it altogether.

Well. I see our long lost Brother Hendrikshas come to life again. He surely pope up inthe most distant placne.

I hope I will have a little more cheerfulnews in my next letter to the JORNAL,.

This float was overone week's labor for the committee in charge,which included the following men: HarryLongahon, Kenneth Flesh, Robert Lee, JimLee. The **Duke--Ed Dukeshirh.

The float was a miniature replicaof a power house and the community abwhichit serves. All the miniature residences werelit with miniature lamps. Even the outsidemeoters on the house were made onI a snailscale. The pole lines and are lamps andtransformers were a small scale reproduc-tion of a standard installation in anycommunity.

Aftera the parade reached the point whereother organizations disbanded, the electricalworkers, led by their hand, arineld to aspot several blocks away where a generoussapply of the liuid that made Milwaukeeshameeslas was on hand, augmented by some1.500 andwihes of all kindils o cheese andluncheon monats. All in all, most sulaccessfulday for the laboring man.

Work in this vicinity is nothing to bragabout, as we have plenty of men who arepatiently waiting for some jobs to breakloose. From present indications it will beafter the end of the year that most ofthese projects will get to the stage wherethey need wiremen. And rest assured ofthis, if the time ever arrives when this localhas more work than it has men to do it yourcorrespondent will be only too glad to stateso In these columns-

Our Labor Day parade was the largestever held here--about 7,500 participated.

On September 1 a special election washeld. There were three important questionsto be decided. Our mayor, Shaw, was upfor a recall and was opposed by Judg-Bowran--the Southern Californians, Inc..had a picketing ordinance called PropositionNo. I on the ballot, and the A. F. of L. andCentral Labor Council had a counter prop-ositlon called Proposition No. 2. Organizedlabor supported Shaw--huke d ProphitionNo, 1 and backed Proposition No. 2. The re-suit: Bewrou' defeated Shaw 233427 to122,92-Proposltion No. 1 carried 199,413to 152,770 and Proposition No 2 failed 152,-902 to 184,541. So we lost all three bets.

Now, I don't pose as a student of polltirs

but I'm wondering if we don't give endorse-ments a little too freely. Judge Howron waswith us on Proposition No. 2 and Shaw non-committal still we supported Shaw officially.Places us kind of on the wrong side of thefene, no? However, I believe Bowron Is avery fair man and will overlook our littleerror-if not, this is our prayer, "Civilservice save "

Proposition No. 1 is filthy. It providesthat only in the case of a bono fide strikesouil picketing be allowed and only in casethe majority of all employeas vot to strike.Pickets must be actual employees out onstrike, must be not closer than 25 feet apart,prohibits the making of any noise and allowsonly one banner, etc., etc. Of course it willbe fought in the courts and if it isn't beatenwe will be.

The American Legion held a wild andwooly convention. If they did any damageit was paid for, as the story is they leftabout $12,000,000 here. Wonder how muchof it will be spent to fight labor?

The joint executive boards of the StateElectrical Workers A .ueiatin are meetingin Santa Barbara along with the State Fed-eration of Labor. Lets hope the masterminds get on the winning aide in the No-venber elettion.

One of the old timers died at the Veterans'Hospital in Sawtelle and was given a mili-tory funeral there. Bob Knudsen was wellknown all over the country and many ofhis old friends will be sorry to hear of hisdeath.

An REA job started in the Imperial V.a1-ley, and it must be quite a contract. TommyRennie is the big boss, and a, little bosseshe took Guy Sills. Rucker, "Windy" Fuller,lou Lindsay. Harry Kingsley and "Smiler"Zimkoski along with him. Kelly and Johnson,of Long Beach, are the contractors, and thejob is to be 100 per cent I. B. E. W.

Things are tightening up plenty on accountof the $30 Ham and Egg plan. It is beingopposed hy big business and the banks,. andI doubt if any work will start till after elec-tion in November.

Our international vice president, ScottMilne, spent a few days with us getting ac-quaintad with our Business matager and theexecutive board. From all reports everythingwent along O.K.

A group of different nationalities was di-cussing their ancestry-the Aryana, theCeltics, the Semite, etc. One of them askedPat, "Who do the Irish spring from, Pat?"Quick as a rabbit, Pat replied, "Sure, theysprings from no one; they springs at them."Too bad we can't steer Pat against thismaniac Hitler.

Editor:Early this year N. B. C, broke ground for

another monumenlt of achilevement to theradio industry. A new itudio and officeulillding was started, WItW when completed,

will without a doubt be the finest on thePaJic Coast, .

This new buildilt et N. B. C, in Hollywoodi built withou.t p rivet, in place of thecooiventiona rivel.r's hamnners, the steelskeleton of the structrre was put togetherby alears of eleetric torches. The weldedsteel construct/in is ultra-modern; accord-ing to engilnrs, it is stronger than rivetbi.iling, and it clitsinly saved the businesssection of illyw.ood more than one head-ache durimg ti lre ss of construction.

Audiences from two averago-siled thea-ters could lie put on the broadcasting plat-forms of Studioes A ail. II in N. B. C.'s newRadio City with enough room left overfor a tuba or two. The platforms will be thelargest broadcasting stages in tile world.Measuring 3.000 square feet. each platformcan accommodallte 1,500 people standing up.with two square feet of room for eachperson.

The program platforms of two other audi-ence studios, B and C. will be two-thirds aslarge, 2,000 square feet each. Each of thefour studio au.ditorium will seat 350 people.Programs without al audience will go onthe air from eur sanller studios. Whatmakes the vast stages of A and D necessaryis the development of variety shows withcasts of a hundred or more people. Onellillywood broadcast last season boasted acast of 125 people, including the chorus

anid musicians,Tile air which artists anlid visitors breathe

is purer than the pilie.entd air of theIIigh Sierras. Even pure mountain air,

explains Gordon Strang, engineer in charg*of construction, ecarriea duet and other for-olgn partilesB injurious to the lungs. Amodern filtering plant at N. B. C. removesmost of the foreign matter in the air drawnin from the outside, and passes it into thestudios almost 10 per cent pure. The airconditioning system controls both tempera-ture and humidity to provide air that issien tifi call y correct.

The drama and sweep of radio broadcast-ing, portrayed by a nationally famouspainter, will greet visitors to the new stu-dios, from a vast liural dominating thelobby from a height of 25 feet, and widthof 40 feet. The artist commissioned by N.B. C. to execute the mural in three separatepanels is Ed Trumbell, who is noted for theimagination and blending of his colors, . Aheroi figure of a genii of radio will formthe center of the mural With his feet onearth, and his head in the clouds, the genliwill support a ratdio receiving set and hornsover his head will symbolize loud speakers.Around the central l 1ure Artist Trumlellwill paint senesm depicting sports, opera,music, drama, ald other scenes, ilium-trating the far.llung functions of radiobroadcasting.

The fact that this wonderful achievementIs being built by all-union labor is of coursethe interesting note to the readers of theJOaURNAL. The Commercial Electric Com-pany, with members of Local Union 83, havedone the power work, while the Shamel Elec-tric Company, with nltemler of Local UnionNo. 40 and Local Union No. 83, are doing theentire sound inatollation, about which we willwrite more in a later article.

It is simply unthinkablethat union tliLbers and union offeiis whoreally have the best interests of labor atheart should continue to stir up the kind ofstrife that sets one organiation if lahbragainst another, and increases ill-will andbitterness at a time when it is of the great-eAt importance that all workers and allfriends of labor should stand shoulder toshoulder in our common cause,

LAKE CITY,

Editor:We are pleased to be able to report that

we are sueeding inl our efforts to organizethe company union member.. We hope bythe time you go to press with this issue tohave the necessary 51 per cent of employeesof the Utah Power and Light Co.. to be ableto ask the certfieatIn by the Natiolal LaborRelations Board of this local as sole bargain-ing ageny, alnd in the very near future to

have this company's signature to an agree-ment on working conditions, wage schedule.etc.

As I reported in the last issuhoe, it has beenan uphill fight, and we ar not definitely outof the woods si yet, but we do see the silverlining to that great dark loud of doubtthrough which we have ben passing.

Our board of strategy. J. Scott Milne, GeneGaillac and William ("Bill") Myers, havehad to use all the will power, wisdom, bluff

and compromise at their command to carrythis effort as far as we have been able to go,to the present time, and it will still requiresome scheming and Jockeying to carry itthrough to a successful issue, although at thistime we do see light and are more than hope-ful to accomplish what we It out to do.Bill Myers has been released from hos-pital and has been around on his rutches,throwing out his hest and holtering "I toldyou so. I tOld you WE could do ill" untilScott said, "All right, nuisanco, you had bet-ter take a vacation and celebrate." But,seriously, Bill did a good job, and had thevacation coming, and found it was just alittle harder to negotiate a pair of crutchesthan be thought it would be, and he is now .home in Portland convalescing, but we expet him back around the tenth.

Gene O"U1oc also had to leave, as dutycalled him to fairer fields and pastures new,but we also expect to see Gene back for thekill, and we all keep a warm corner in oilrhearts for him: in fart we like ygi. Ganeand give you a standing invitation to visitwith us at will.

This leaves us at the present time withJ. Scott Milne as our sole international rep-resentative, but, as I have heard it said hehas as much pep and ingenuity as a rounddozen ordinary men, we still feel able to carryon and give them (the opposition) a littlemore than an even battle.

Ilh. opening up of the Utah Copper on thefirst of the month surely had a good effect onthe general optrend of business in this state.While I cannot quotea mess of figures, almostevery industry within the state felt the effebtof this event.

We will very soon now be in the midst ofLabor Day celebrations, and we expect tohave a very imposing parade on that day.I believe the city of Ogden. which is thesecond largest city in the state of Utah anda distance of 37 miles north of us, is goingto join with us in this parade. We wish tostate in closing that we appreciate our posi-tion in oranied labor is made possible byour membership in the I. B. E. W., and weI'pldge u...lve-s and oar local organimuliwoto full concurrence with the InternationalOffice. Its policies and aims.

L. U. NO. B-77, SEAtLE, WASH.Editor:

Looking over the past few years, labor hasseen the pasagoe of considerable liberallegislation by (ongress and ariouns statelegislatures for the protection of the work-er andl masses of citizens. youli and oldand emnloycd and unemployed, and it hasbeen as music to the ears ,f labor and itleaders as each additional bill ani measurehas passed, but, there has also been an ac-companying note that has been played by theopposition to such liberal legislation. Thistunle has been played for the thousands ofsensation-seeking people that do not under-stand the bunnoticd endeavors of hundredsof hard-working, inarticulate labol ing peopleand their leaders that have caused the pass-age f much oF this legislation that attemptsto aid all of the people and give them pro-tection trom explloitation and empty old age.

To these sensation-loving peoPle thle op-position has played a tune of strikut, laborboycotts, coercIle by labor leaders, laborrackets, chiseling. unreasonalh agreements.breaches of conitract, subversive tactics, com-,nunism, and mismanagement, and the cryingneed of their control by bills. aits, laws orlegislation.

This continued harping hlas rod auced itsresulrs ill a small way, as can be seen by theincreasing number of antipicketlinglaws and labor injunctions in smalltownis Iand cities away from the largerand mo-re organiid citiest, bit tbebeacts are miner matters leading np tothe real labor-smashing finale which isbeing pushed by certain groups herein Washington, Oregon and California,in the farm o. f i rike control bills.Fortunately, the propsral in Californiiawas a little toe raw ilnd lost out biecause or the la:k of signatures to thepetition.

The Washington bill is kbnown asIniiajtive Measure No. 130 and theState Federialon ot labor hn. set upa rnmmitteel to light this bill inid ringits real ill'mport to the eletorate l rulelection

Tlhe backers of this bill were wellcoached in the tricks of atteItionI detraction as they were able to olbain F!tsufficient sinatuurrs to place it on the Ieballot with simple talk of the bill's TW

atbentmol. fiatti.,i th 1dit . Iintentions, forgetting the wording, or

treating it as immaterial, to the proposition'slegality in a ourt of law. The ballot titleand preamble, of this bill are masterpieCls ofmisrepresentation and as they are always inthe easiest read type, few people bother toread further on a petition and so think theyare signing something other tilan what theyare.

I believe that this bill , Worth d'e irbi ng inpart so that the mtmbersh i ,p a have theopportunity to better unAerstiaild (.at theintentions of this bill andiii the wording areentirely foreign to each other, aId so theymay be prepared to Ilok closely at any futurebils that may be proposed for the purpose of

cotroll or orning labor or laborunion,

The lufllot title of 130" is worded so thatanyone nit famili/r with the entire bill willread it arid IhinIk it may he al right and sovote for it in the last minute rush of voting.

Iei e it is:

'A miasure relating to employenit. ; pro-viding for thle selice f! writteln demtiadupon the employer; providing for the major-ity wnta of the employees concerned cast in aprescribed m ianner shall lie necssary beforea strike may be called;: making proisionaeoncer ni l g Inck arovdtn alt itovi dig pen mt ies."

If that doesn't sound d.emocrati. I missmy guess; as a matter of reorIId, it readsalmost like a condensed part of any I. B.E. W. agreement.

The preamble of the measure reads a littlestronger, but not so many voters read it asread the ballot title, aliid it really must de-scribe the bill a little more, so the legislatorswill he aIlIle to flnd it in the directory. It isas follows:

"An ACt to prevent interruption of employ-ment, obstruction of production, trade andcomrilerce and the occurrence of strikes un-less approved by a majority vote of the em-loyces involved cast in accordance with cer-

tawl procedure under conitions to be estab-lished and supervised by the county auditorand preceded by written demands upllon theemployer involved aid an opportunity toadjust such demands; providing civil rightsand prescribing penalties.'

Sounds all right, too. Nobody should objectto this, as it says, "providing civil rights'and everybody knows about that altii what itmeans. We'll take this up later, so let's lookat what tilt Act says about the conduct of.say, two men anid whliat they face by theactual wordiing of the bill.

Let's say that Bill Jones and Jack Allenthink that there might be an opportunity toget a lie iI etter wages and cond litionrs, andthey talk about it in fronlit of one of the

boss' pets. but they don't hppen to belongto any union or organization so they figureout how they will make their approach.

According to Sectioni 2, and the third para-graph, it says,:

"The term 'union' shall mean any ameecia-tinn or group of persons in this state whoshall directly or indirectly combine for thepurpose of obtaining better hours, wages orworking conditions of the members thereof."

This would mean that lones and Allen hIIavebecome a union because they are assoeiatingwith the idea of getting more money. Theygo to the boss and he refuses to considerthem, so they decide to quit, but accordlngto the detinition of 'strike" in Section 2.which is as concerns them:

"The term, 'strike' shall nean * * con-certed refusal or a refusal inder a comnImounderstanding, of any number of persons whoare, or have been, so employed, to cntinueIto work or accept employment or to peiformthe duties for which they are employyed."

Section 3 will take care of their rittingnicely with:

"It shall be unlawful to cause a strike orgo on strike:

"(a) Unless for a period of 30 days fromthe date of submission of written demands tothe employer the union shall have attemptedIn good faith through negotiations, mediationor conciliation, to reach an agreement or set-tlement with said employer with respectthereto; provided, that the employer withinsuch period shall not have filnailly refused toenter into negotiations with said union; andprovided further that nothing in this Actshall prohibit any employee from leaving theemploy of his employer under circumstan.esthat do not constitute a strilk; and

"(b) Unless * the county auditor hasconducted a vote of all the employees af-fleted."

Which means, or can mean, everyone in theplant, and furthermore, nowhere ill this billdoes it restrict supervisors, managers, or anyother offier of the company who may not bethe direct employer yet might be affected bythe quitting of Jones and Allen if they havea special trade.

Well, this is a lot of extra bother becausethese two fellows don't want to be botheredby county auditors, crtified lists of i, ploycesand Superior Court eases, so they decide toiuit one at i time. Well, they already have

aiproached lthe boss an.. they are two golu'echanicts so th,Ž bsss turns to:

"Sectio] it. Prir to the service of wrils.denands on the employer and duringthe period of the tinme provided in Sec-

Or he can let them go but these fellowsdidn't get very high wages and haven't a lotot money in the bank so they turn to thestato unemployment funds for Assistanceuntil they can find another job which theyhave not been able to find as quieck as theythought they could (maybe because the oldemployer is still mad at them and tells the in-quiring questionir e from the other eo-ployels that they weren't nice boys) and tinsis what they find:

"Ulinemployment Compensation Act"State of Washington

"Section 5. Disqualiflcation for bnefits.--An individual shall be disqualified forbenfit,;

"(a) For the calendar week in which he hasleft work rvoluntarily without go.d cause, ifso found by the director and for two weekswhich immediately follow such week (in ad-dition to the waiting period).

"(b) For the calendar week in which he has,been discharged for misconduct connectedwith his work, if so found by the director, andfor not les than two nor more than fiveweeks which immediately follow such week(in addition to the waiting period), as de-termhaed by the director in each ease ecord.-ing to the seriousness of the misconduct.

"() Where an individual has left workvoluntarily or has been discharged for mis-conduct not because £o any labor activity orbecause of membership in a bona fide labororganization connected with his work he ohellbe disqualified for the periods herein pro-vided, until he again earns such wages thatbenefits will not otherwise be payable.

"(d) If the director finds that he has failedwithout good cause, either to apply for avail-able, suitable work when so directed by theemployment office or the director or to aceoptsuitable work offered him. or to return to hislustomary lf-employment (if any) when so

direted by the director. Such disqualifies.tion shall continue for the calendIar week iawhich such failure occurred and for not lessthan the one nor more than the five eekswhich immediately follow such week (in addi-tion to the waiting period) as determined bythe director according to the circumstancesin each case."

And here I leave them to you, gentlereader, to shoot them or what have you, be-cause they thought that they had civil rightsand forgot to protect their unemploymentbill, which they have helped pay for, and thedirector happened to be a friend of the lastemployer and the framers of the bill wrotethe first section of "130" with due regard tothe "police power theory of law practice,"which is that 'any law that promotes thehealth, morals. safety and welfare of thestue' come inder the proper exercise of thepolice powers of the state and is thereforeeonstitutional." (Magruder, "Alerican Goy-ermient" 1938, 347-8.)

I hope that this story has helped thereader to see that sometimes things are notwhat they seem to be, and that they mayspol a law already written that do..es not pro.-vide for future changes, and as more laborlegislation is passed this condition will be-come more of a Job to watch.

Dreaming, yes, and wondering,What Eternity has in store,

Will it be a manse in my Father's house?Will I reach the Eternal shore?

Will, when I have passed into the great beyondAnd I am laid beneath the sod.

Will I awaken again in the presenceAnd Glory of the Eternal Living God?

Will I hear the chant of the Angels' songsAs their voies in adoration swell,

Or will it be the cries and moans of the unfortunate soulsIn the lower-most depths of Hell?

And so I live in the house of my dreams,Still carrying my earthly load

As I slowly drift on the long last tripTo the end of Life's sunset road.

On September 4 we attended a pileno atOlean. N. Y., given by the Olean Tradesnad Labor Council. They had a fine spotfor it and we had a fine time there and anice trip down and back. Ther is snmemighty fine scenery down around that neckof the woods. (Note: "Fibber" bMKie gotlost on the way back.)

We notice in the September JOunRI L thatBrother H. C. Mohr, of Cleveland, Ohio,has been, elected secretary of the Ohio StateConference.

While I have Cleveland in mind, and Ioften think of friends I made while there,if Brother Emil M]eirner sees this, or ifsomeone tells him, I would appreciate a let-ter from him. My last letter to him wasreturned.

After reading the article. "2E Little Col-ored Gentlemen," page 408, SeptemberJOuIRNAL, and knowing how, year after year,the National Electrical Code adds some-thing more to break down our wiring stand-ards, we believe that the time is at handto start revising the code and to build itup where an electrical worker can lookon a finished job with pride instead ofhaving to hang his head in shame at theway he is required to do a job.

Last Thursday wo listened to a radioprogram called "'American at Work," at10:30 p. m, over Station WABC. Theydramatized the history of bricklaying.After the dranm tatizon they intervieweda brieklayer and his apprentice. It was allvery interesting and we are looking far-ward to hearing a "Drama of Electricity"and hearing a couple of Brothers fromLocal Union No. 3 on the air in the nearfuture.

The 'lannul" euting of Local Union No.99, I. D. E.

As might he ex.peeted the revival of our get-together was agreat success from any standpoint and creditis due the members of the committee whoexerted themselves to niake it so. The fllow-ing memtbers are especially to be canomendedBrother I1. R. McCaid, chairman; irotierF. Miller. secretary anid treasurer BrotherA. Aniler s in charge of sport,. andI BrotherT.

Local Union No. 99 took a prominent partin the Labor Dlay parade this year, whichwas the largest and most impressive thathas ever been held in Providence. It wasmore than a local affair, since nleeners ofthe A. F. of L. from all over the state anddelegations from other states gladly availedthemselves of the opportunity to demonstratetheir unity and loyalty in the cause of laborand to honor their leader, President Williamieen, who hadl graciously acepted an invi-tation of ]ong standing to head this year'sdemonstration.

The meamies of Local Union No. 9 woresashes on whih were plainly prinnted thecaption 'international Brotherhood of Elec-trical Workers" and carried small flagswhich added to the colorful parade. laorle.aders ertimated that 18,000 men were inthe line of march which was revirwed byGovernor Quinn.

Even before the floodwaters had receded thersle dspicable thieveswaded adl swam to the show eases and dis-play windows of mierchant, whose plate glasshad gone with the wind even before the tidalwave had struek.

So many lines were down or manholesfloolded that all power ani light were cut off;telephone service was almost negligible andthe three local broale stilng stations weresieanced tbroug ri o1 lwer or throughthe collapse of their towerm.

Seven schoolehildio.l were drowned in aschool bus as the huge wave engulfed thevehile at Jamestown., A woman and childseated in a parked automobile at Narragan-sett Pier vanished as the la.ehine was liftedbodily and swallowed in the hulgry nmaw ofthe Atlantic. Relentlessly the unleashedfury pursued those who sought to lee; in-fants were torn from mothers' arms, entirefamilies were swept away to bic found iil esapart when the mad sea had repented. Ina few instances a cutftae orcupant managedto hold on to a Imrtion n f his erstwhile homeand reached safety hours later when flungonto the shore across the bay from wherethe cottage had stood; one girl crossed overon a mattress.

The stories that are being told by sur-vivors are heartrending, each oIne seems morehorrifying than the previous one and as yetsome of the hardest hit oommunities have notbeen able to voice their experiences.

L. U. NO. 103, BOSTON, MASS.Editor:

Today we are forced to a realisation thatilthe future is full of uncertainty. This ispartly due to the election of nie who lackpractical experiene, which is so necessaryfor the omnllon gaod of the labor movemnet.

With these important thoughts in minld,and after careful consideration, the dele-gates, representing the many and varioustrades that mnake up the Massachusettsstate branch A. F. of L., loot little time indeciding on thre of their vice presidents.These men are all business managers of I.B. E. W. Ioaal unions of Massachusetts:namely, Brother Charles E. Mec(:afrey, ofIi. U. No. 7, Springfield, re-elected; BrotherHerbert S. ("Hlap") Ferris, of L. U. No. 233,Brocktun; Brother William J. Doyle, of L. U.No. 103, Boston.

These three men have all the attributesthat would make thenm ideal labor omlials.They have beeIn activeily engaged in laborand politicai life, where they have secureda wide experierae and close knowledge ofpublie affairs. Their names are a guaranteeof the success of any undertaking withwhich they may be identified and they arealways willing to lend their support to anyprogressive movement.

Thile newly elected vice presidents havemade hosts of friends, not only among theworking people of the state, but also amongbusiness people and all classes of profes-sional lln. T'lheir genial manner towardall is a p lecasale to recall after meeting themanru it is very safe to make the prophecythat the duties of their office will be inllcapable hands. Having won for themselvesthe unique reputation for being upright andconsieintious, the result is that a greatnumber of labor leaders seek their advice inmatters of importance to themselves andothers.

They are men of ability who have ieenmaking a very vigorous labor campaign, pre-senting the issues of the day in a logilcaand understanding manner. They havealways Lnade themselves clear in regardto their stand in reference to matters whichare Tew in the minds of the labor leaders ofthe state. They have established a name ashonest, effliieet and conscientious men whocommanl the respect of all persons withwhom they mne in contact.

It is the writer's opinion that Bill. Charliean(] lap will go a long way yet in the labormovement and we wish you well. boys, as youtake uO the duties of your new reslnnsibilities.

to further progress. 3ost of the time th.work stops and all hands are idle until asuitable answer is fnrthcoming to thesedamaging questions.

You will reognize the first question themrinute you see it, namely, what shall Iwrite about? Just what subject shall Ichoose to write about in these letters?This question is a knokout when it firstpresents itself. Th. mm ute it claims yourattention the mind becomes blank, the fin-gers paralyzed. ambition slumps anid beforeyou know it you are on your way to themovies. But whern we stay with it fora little while anid tc,nllplate it from allsides it is really nriot ,a, h as it seems.Our thoughts turn to ntr local. Its pastachievemeats, present activities and plansfor the future. The sentiments of themembers of the organization. And then allthe worthwbahile happenings among all theother locals that we are associated with.How much there is of interest to writeabout. And look at all the leads there areamong the fine letters and articles thereare in the JOtNNAL. And the raft of labornews and other items of interest there arein our daily, weekly and monthly peri-odinals that flood our news stands. Really,before one gets very far into the answerof this question he is literally delugedwith material for these little classics he

ontrblhutes to the JOuRNAL. Perhaps we arerecovered enough now to examine questionNo. 2.

We think that trying to answer to thisquestion ses UIp more paper and pencilsthan all the other questions combined.When we attempt an answer it seems soeasy and we are so encouraged that it makesua smile. Could anything be more aimple?But before we have proceeded very far thepencils are dulled. the paper all in the bas-ket and we are on our way to the moviesagain. The question is oh, so simple, butoh, so hard. Jusat what shall I say aboutthe subiect I have chosen and hew shall Isay it? Many literary careers have goneon the rocks at this point. But there isan answer, and a very good one, and sofar seems to fill the bill. It goes like this,A very careful perusal of how others dothis very difficult thing and loads and loadsof praetice on it. Study the fine lettersthat make up the correspondence depart-meat of the JOURNAL, and really, before youknow it, the letters will slip out from underyour pen with an ease that will surpriseyen. Try it and be convinced.

If this was the end of our difficulties, wewould be of all press secretaries the mosthappy. But this is not all. There is an-other question that confronts the buddingwriter and it is the lmost deadly of thespecies. We are floundering in it at thepresent time and are so discouraged withit that we never expect to find a good andcomplete answer to it. Here it is: Of allthe supply we have, what material is bestsuited to these letters? It is trying to findthe answer to this one that dcepuns thefurrows on the brow and streaks the blackwith that gray we all dread so much. Ourworthy Editor has offered the best help yet.lie seems to sense the dliffultie s we wouldhave in the pursuit of this calling of ours,and with much kindness and generositygives us all the help he can. He says,"'Anything Anything is suitable as longas it is interesting. Of course, this is ahelp. and a big help, but it still leavesus a part to do in the matter. and thatpart is tough. We are further helped,though, by the thought that the fellows liketo see the news of the local given a promi-nent plae in these letters.

We offer our condolences to those Broth-era who wore unable to attend the LightConditioning Show given by the G, E. SupplyCorporation on September 26 at the HotelGibson roof garden. To those Brotherswho were able but would not attend becauseof their superior knowledge, we have noth-ing to offer. To say they missed a showthat was both entertaining and educationa lwould not be doing it justice.

It is a dingb.usted shame that llore ofthe Brothers could not co-operate with theeducational committee when that committeeis trying to help them keep abreast of thedevelopments in their trade. They shouldmark it down in their book as an oppor-1anity passed by. Io not miss the nextone. Keep up with the parade.

As this is written, the request of railroadmanagement for a I 1 pIer cent wage rouc-tion in our pay envelopes has reached theballoting stage, and no doubt will be over-whelmingly in favor of a strike. And whynot? The writer had the opportunity ofattending all the sessiors of the wage eon-ferenee held in the city of Chicago, andfrom the argumlnts presented there is ab-solutely no reason for railroad labor tobe sacrificed on the altar of speculativerailroad management, which was so ablyelaborated in BIrother MeGlogan's (our vicepresident) circular letter of September S.I hope that all the electrical workers on theNorth Western receiving same have readhis letter, as well as all circulars issuedby him.

In Chicago. railroad labor has organizedstrongly behind our chiefs against the pro-posed wage cut. Many leetings have beenheld, iresultinig in a mas meeting to hie

held September 28 at which we expect alarge turnout. In that respect we wish toconvey our thanks to WCFL, Labor's ownradio station," which has given our meet-ings an airing over this station. Thanks.

I am reminded at this time to inform ourmembers that Brother Amos Kcnt died olAugust 20 and am pieased to state that hiswidow reeiveld the check from the 1i. .as well as from our local, I B. E. W. mei-bership pays well, yet we find s.ome'slacker" working on the railroads who will

play the "lu.rk" .i. his fellowmrn by takingall the bene.fit and paying nothing towardssec ur ing Lelit,.

The boys en the North Western havesuffered from unemployment along with therest of the other railroad boys. We havequite an army of unemployed all over thesystem. A shorter work day and weekwithout a redaution in eompensati.n is nec-essary to create real prosperity--not a wagereduction.

In conclusion, we might add that the elc-trical workers on the North Wesmtern are100 per cent behind our chiefs in resistingany form of wag' cut. The sins of man-agement cannot and will not be visited uponthe railroad workers.

The wire twisters and the narrow backsdid something in Toledo this year that willgo down in history. Local No. 245, foryears known as a linemen's local, butwhich now has employees of all distrillb-uting departments as its members, and themembers of Local No. 8, known as an insidelocal, not only combined their forces bymarching together on Labor Day, but after-wards imbibed the cool amber brew. Luieiwas served by a very worthy committee,for which I am sure that any appreciationmentioned hereby will have the sanctionof both bodies. Old acquaintances wererenewed and new ones made this year thatshould have been made, in some cases, 20years ago. Maybe some tine we can in-stall services on a building and know whohas done the wiring without inquiry. Bothloals appointed committees for refreshmnets and float. Preparations were underway weeks before Labor Day for the building of what we here in Toledo believe wasthe most beautiful float that the ity uvtrwitnessed in a labor parade.

The employees of the transformer depart-ment were three years at spare time build-hng a Tesla-Thoma, high frequency coilcapable of developing 1,000,000 volts, Amodel of the Acme plant was produced inminiature by Charles Chubnse and MartSweet, with the assistance of other em-ployCes of that statio. A malel residentialdistrict was secured through the onurtesyof Kelsey Freeman Lumber Co.; a minia-tare pole line was constructed by Jim andBob Lee, assisted by Earl Baudor and JaySwank, The decorations were selucted andsupervised by Kenneth Flesh, the chairmanof the floeet committee. A beautiful neonsign, hearing the letters i. B. E. W., wasbuilt and installed by Brothers Jakel Lynes,Charles Swyers, Fred arrington and FrankFischer. A slight correction-Frank Justshowed up.

At the present time the building traildes herehave the lRitr.

There seems to he a habitaliong thile larger locals to sit back and letthe Sollll locals keep watch over certainplaces within their (the small local's) juris-diction. But as soon as any work conies upthey want to step in andi take the job. Thisis not fair as we sauiler locals ieedl all thework we can git, andi the small towns ¢nntkeep atl of their menc bvsy.

Whereas the present reactionary state ad-ministration has vetoed many bills pertainingto hunmane, seeia and ilabor legislation; and

Whereas... the governors veto of this Actcaused further unemployment to our mem-beer who are building tradesnmen; and

r"'anizotio, 'f a stalte tioteranae of build-ing trades organiations. There was muchllnasusioni conerning similar organia-

loon. in ither states and whether they wenfuntionring for the heat interests of theelectrical workers. It was brought outthat the state of California had formedone of these conferences and that it hadInproved detrimental to the interests of theelectrical workers. Originally this organi-zatlon ws purely iogisatlve in scope, butenre organized they .soo got iieto the co,-inomlo phase of the game and that was

where the tioubla began. It was ,ointedOut that the State Federtiols of Labor werechartered by the A. , of Li. for the solepurpose of takinhg are of legislative mat-ters pertaining to the workers, and here wehad the spectacle o organizations withinthe A. F. of L. and affiliated with the StateFederations of labor starting an organia-tian within an organization to usurp thefuntions granted by the A. F'. of L. toState Federations. It was the consensus ofopinio that we, the Electrical Workers,should stay away from a conference of thisnature and not affiliate.

Other business of importance discussed atthe conference meeting concerned the pro-posed legislation relative to the licensing ofeleetrical workers and electrical contractors.also a new set-up for the electrical inspec-tion, of our state. The proposals are beingstbmitted to the local unions throughoutthe state for consideration.

The Illinois State Federatioan of Laboronoention weas held in Peoria, IlL., the week

of Septebn er 12-17 and it had the largestattendance on record; over 960 delegatesand visitors, and more than 150 resolutionswere acted upon. Delegates from LocalnUnion No. B-309 wore B. H,. Bakamp, B.S. Reid and James Altic. Brother F. R.R.aeh, of Local No. B-309. served as dale-gate from the East St. Louis Central Tradesand Labor Union. Boakamp served on thepross committee; Reid served on the organi-zation committee; Altic served on the build-ing trades committee; Ranch served on theresolutiona committee.

The ISiaslative program proposed by theeaovention will be beneficial to all thebuilding trades crafts.

taca No. 84, L B. If. W certainly madeall 1. B. E. W. delegates welcome to Peoriaand we hope to see them all in Springfieldwhen the Illinois State Federation of Laborconvnes there next year.

The Labor Day celebration held here inEaSt St. Louis was welt directed and re-eiol much favorable comment. Therewere over 16,00 members of organized laborin the parade, which war preceded by city,county and state officials. Judges in arviewilng stand passed upon and awardeda prize to the best unit.

Eor the first imoe in tiSuy y*ars organiaedlabor in this city made the most of theiropportunitiet with a real Labor Day parade.Parades have been held in San Diego an-inially on Labor Pay, but the ntlitry units

amni hanird have been the mai, attraction.This year our F,'derated Trades and LaborCounile decided it was time for a new deal,and planned a parade of, by and for the labormovement in this vicinity. The venture wasa complete success o] all mi/ants aid the gen-oral public of this city Ias very favorablyimpressed both by the nn ilir of iparticipantsand the excellent order maintained by themarchers. The committee. acting for L, U.No. B-4l5S, wants to compliment the loaal.and expretss thir iappreiatin for the effortsput furtI in making our partieipation socreditable. A genuine co-operative srpiritwas in evidence throughout, and we hand themembers a bouquet which they all know is arare occurrence i, this local Four floatvwer entered by our local, and the final resultin each ease proved that many hours hadbeen spent ,y the volunteer float committees.The women's auriliary added a float of theirown, tastefully deaorated and with unionismas its theme. The idea for this float and thework of making it ready were contributed bythe auxiliary memnber themselves.

After the parade wes ended, Ioeal No.B-465 played host to all participants with avery enjoyable party in our meeting hall.Food, drink, and entertainment were on handto refresh the loyal mmeboro who particlpatedin the erlebration.

To turn to iore serious matters. all labororganizations in the state of California arefaced with a hig job at the November elec-tions. An initiative proposal with the ex-press purpose of lowing down the march oforganization will appear on the ballot. andorganized labor will be wise not to under-estimate the strength of those behind thismeasur. Already there seems to be a state-wide campaign to convince the voters ofCalifornia that it is to their interests to curbthe growing power of labor unions. In SanDiego we have a new organization known uthe Employers' Joint Advisory Council and

very hard to overestimate the impdortance ofhaving delegates present At athese eting.

Many lahor, service and fraternal og il..ations in their monthly magazines hae asection devuted to W one program they aretrying to put over. This is an excellentidea anti it winuld be a great hele if a argersection of the JoumNM. could be devoted toa national program. The writer personallyfeels that after an agreement has beenreached with some contrator or utility.that a line or two in the Wean1a would notbe out of place, telling just how it was putover, and outlining a few of the points cov-ered Iy it, and that thiis information wouldbe of general interest to the entire member-ship. Comparatively few if our membersknow that the state of Montana is coveredby a working agrieenent with the MountainStates Telephone arid Telegraph Company.which is a part of the Dell System. Werethis fact geneerally knowl and the conditionsand wages the Montana boys receive. itmight help to promote organization else-where in the telephone field. If a thing canbe done in onec place there isn't any reasonwhy it can't be done in another. It is true

that wages and conditions don't changeevery month, however, under our presentset-up it is generally necessary to write to alocal to find out just what their scale is. Ifon reading the WeoaxI you should happento come aecrssa a few lines informing youthat certain wages aid conditions werebeing paid and tnet in a particular districtit would serve to act as an additional incen-tive towards further progress.

We find ourselves banded together ir oneof the finest organizations in the labormovement In tridrt to get the full valuefrom this organizatin it is mandatory thatas local unions we contribute more thanper capita tax into the International Offic.When progress is made in one locality thisautomatically heIlps the entire movement ifit is made generally known through ourmonthly publication. A candle burnedunder a box will furnish you with light ifyou could get into the box to enjoy it.However, if you are to stay on the outsideit will be of little benefit to .yo.

We are very fortunate that it taka" alittle effort and not cash to write to theJOulwaL to tell our organization of theprogress made or the problem confrontingus. If we will just stop to consider thisfact and take into consideration the greatamount of good that will he done by spend-ing a few minutes along these lines, we willhave a better organiiation. Our organiza-tion is tops in the labor movement. Let'skeep it that way.

Little change here. In the Pomona dis-triet the scale is $6 and $7 a day forwiremen, Riverside pays $7 and $8 aridSan Bernardino remains at $9. We have a40-hour week ani douhle time for overtimeOur membership retrains around 11. Allof the boys ire working aL least part tintand there is prospect of more worik comnaup about the first of the year. Just as sooas things do open up a little we have hopesof raising the sca{l in Riverside and Pomona an geAtting these shops covered withate agtreeemerit.

This work, while not of great magnitudein money expended as compared with some ofthe other PWA work arnund the country, isof great importance to the electrical workerinasmuch as this part of the country hasnever been organiz ed and all electrical workhas been done by a company that has as aprivately owned company fought to keep theI.

With such men on the Job a, Brothers GuySills, "Shorty" Rueker, Tommy Ronnie,Louis Lindsey and some of the old timers itis a foregone conclusion that the job will bewell done both as to the organization of tilejob and the work of stringing wire for thedistrict.

This measure has been studied by some ofthe best lawyers in the state and. they allsay that it is the most vicious and looselydrawn document they have ever seen andthat it will cost the people millions of dol-lar in litigation to determine just whatthe provisions of the measure mean and todetermine just what port, if any, isconstitution al.

Nothing much to say this month, excepthatt our annual Labor Day parade was a

great success and Local No. 649 reportedalmost a 100 per cent attendance. Thisyear we were able to secure several nicefloats for the parade. The Central ElectricCo., Kramer Electric Co.. and the UnionElectric Co., all had floats in the parade.

I am enlosing a picture of part of theRrothera who marched on Labor Day. whoare all employed by the Union Electric Co..of Illinois. The gentleman on the left ofthe group is the general manager of theUnion Electric Co., Mr. J. R. Monks.

Well. most of the boys are hack fromtheir vacations, some of them visited aroundthe different parts of the country, whileothers did a bit of fishing, and caught sonie-thing, or else fust fshed. llrother AlWaters used up $1185 worth of bait, catch-ing 30 pounds of game fsh, but then hecalls himself a sportsman.

Business Malger AIl Wegetlel, of LocalNo. B-S09, paid us a friendly visit on Septet-her 9, and after the meeting some of theboys had a little celebration with BrotherAl, who introduced our business manager,L.

Another l.abDr lay has passed.Peraonnly. I have never given much

thought to labor Day, except it was a holi-day and as such accepted as the otherholidays are. The bhought came to methat it night b,' well to investigate theorigin of this dsy.

Labor Day.

First MundaI in Stqtmnbeb in U. S., D. C,.Puerto Rico and lawaii.

Celebration of this day was inauguratedby the Knights of Labor, who in 1882 helda parade in Now York, and again in 1884when a resolution by George R. Loyd, oleof the Knights of Labor, was passed to holdall parades on that day.

Working Tnfl of all organization thenbegan an agitation to have the day madea legal holiday, and on March 15, 1887,. thefirst lIn to that effect was passed in Colo-rado. New York. New Jersey and Massa-chusetts soon followed this example.

In Europe the celebration of May 1 asLabor Day was begun in 1890 by a LaborCongress in Berlin. Germany, with a demonstration in favor of the eight-hour day. Itwas at that time, and for a few yearslater, much feared and violently opposed,and there were many clashes between thepolice and soldiers and the working mati,

In the U. S. May Day is celebrated by theSocialist Labor Party, but there is no cessa-tion of work on that day.

In 186 the first Labor Congreas wao heldin Geneova, Switzerland, with about 60 dele-gates from England, France, Germany, Hol-land and Switzerland. The results of thismeeting were condemnation of the indus-trial employment of women, the advocatingof technical education and the orgailzationof mutual credit associations.

There never have been laws in the UnitedStates to prohibit trade unions, but at firstleaders were arrested for conspiring toraise wages,

America's first trade union, the Typo-graphical Society, was organized in NewYork, 1794. By 1888 Philadelphia had 22trade unions united in the city-wide Me-hanla Unimon of Trades Association.

In 1869 the Knights of Labor launched it.campaign for the eight-hour day.

The American Federation of Labor wasfounded in 1886 as the successor to theKnights of Lsbur.

The Labor Day celebration was a grandsuccess, as we knew it would be. A. addedfeature, and one that proved itself popular,was the beauty contest. With all of thebeantiful girls entered, it must have beenquite a job for the judges to pick a winner.Other events of the ceeleration were thefield events, games, etc., and a baseball gamewith two local teams of renown furnishingthe entertainment.

A feature af this year's Labor laD thatwas not in evidence and wor noted withregret by the writer was the labor editionof the rortlmouth Star. In the estimationof the writer the labor edition of thePortsmouth Star was of inestimable valueto the eau. e of labor in this section andan example of tile energy and farsightednessof our local labor leaders. Let us hope thatnext year the Portsmouth Central LaborUnion can arrange for the lahor edition.

With the increased activity at the nav,yard, with the resultant inrease of theelectrical force, there is good opportunity ofsecuring nany new members for Local No.734. We hope to see llay new faces inour ranks seen.

'Frosty" Baughaan, "BigShorty" Woosley, "Busy Bee" Talbert. ArtPeterson, Charlie Srer and Joe Hfinkle(tb last named furnishing the comedyrelief. by skating over a very wet floor onthe seat of his pants) deserve the unstintelpraise and heartfelt gratitude of the entirelocal. It is sad that so few could find thenec.s.ary three hours to help create a newepoch in the locals history.

Thin skins of ice are beginning to formand that has but one meaning: winter. Theera of three suits of underwear, pair ofpants and two overalls and still the "WhiteSpot" wind plays, "I Was Seeing NellieHomo" on the hairs of each lineman's legsas h, wonders why in hell he ever took upsuch a business. But there is a spirit ofoptimism and a great hope animating thoseof us in this local, as it is our firm convic-tion that this winter will see great thingsin the yrugeesa of this union. So to youfellows who are so conspicuous by your ab-ent. at our meetings there is a war'n

welcome, a conmfortable chair and a* un-limited spirit of friendliness awaitingyou. Why not take advantage of themn?Some day they may mean everything to you.

Work is still carcer than hopes in aRepublicas's heart in this territory, but wewere fortunate enough to obtain a few days'

work for our fellows while the floodlightswere being installed at lBenson High School.This job not only served to give the fellowsa few days' work, but convinced the con-tractor that e earL produce the goods, andli assures us that all future work shall beours, which is a very satisfying feeling.

Ontario Plroincia CouncilEditor:

The Ontario Provincial Council held theirlast convention on Septemher 24. 19338, atThorold, Ontario, at the site of one ofCanada's great achievements, viz: the Wet.land Canal. Thorold is noted for its papermills, which I may mention are organized,and Local Union No, 014, 1, B. E, W., is inthe happy position of working under asigned agreement.

The convention was a success, though notall the 19 Ontario locals were represented.Distance played a big part in this regard.Much business was discussed of vital im-po-tance to the ele<trieal industry and unionmembers of the craft in particular, as, forinstance, the encroachment of the provin-cil-owned Hydro on work we considerhouldr be done by unLturatuzl,, aid the sale

by the Hydro of electrical appliances, cut-Ling into the business of the legitimateelectrical contractor with a store, also therepairing of staives at cost.

The licensing of electricians, both cityand provincial, is a suhject that the councilhas given much consideration and a com-mittee has ieen cllecing data for somemonths that they may at an early datesubmit a report tu the delegates, wherebythe locals may be thoroughly conversantwith the situation and press for legislationif necessary.

Hydro inspection came up for mueh criti-cism and a comparison was drawn withthat made by the National Board of FireUnderwriters, who made inspections priorto the time the lydro took over this veryimportant function.

One delegate described the securing ofcontracts nowadas wdy us a bultit of wits, thehonors going to the contractor who couldre-design a specification, omitting as muchwork and material as possible, and gettingthe drawings passed by the Hydro.

Our guest speaker was Mr. A. G. Jennings,hydro commissioner of East York, Ontario,who spoke on matters effecting public utilityemployees It is very evident that Organi-sation will greatly assist Hydro employees,both in wages and conditions, if they willonly take advantage of it.

Vice President E. Ingles was much in evi-dence with advice and correspondence onlegislative matters affecting our trade.

The delegates, after the business session,were given the opportunity of being eon,ducted personally by the ecouncil' virepresident, H. C. Tracy. through a modernpaper mill.

Describing the set-up of the council atthis time would not ih atika. Tht cuuiil

Is composed of members in good standingof local unions in Ontario. Questiolns areto be submitted to each meeting, discussedand decisions aliired at. liowever, beforesuch decisions become the actions of thecouncil. they are to be referred to all localunions in Ontario for acceptance or rejec-ti,,on. Such fundw as are eeeseary for theoperation of the council are to be raisedby appeals to the vari.,ous local unions: suchcouncils can serve as educational or lgiC-latilve institutions and can help to havefavorable legislation adopted or defeat un-favorable legislation, and can also serveas a medium of exchange of ideas among thevarious local unions.

Eiisting conditions in the provine oflOntario make it Imperaties that membersof the Brotherhood get together from timeto time and discuss matters affecting thetrade. The next meeting of the OntarioProvincial Council will be held in Hamilton.Ontario, March, 1939.

Allow me to introduce a newcomer to ourlarge family; this baby was born just acouple of months ago and has been namedLocal No. B-8I$, of Dalhousie, N. B.,Canada.

I am sure a lroat many of you havenever before heard of Dalhousie, so per-haps I'd better explain that it is & papermill town in northern New Brunsxick, Ino-rated where the Rlesigouihe River runs outinto Bay de Chaleur. And all the membersof our local are employed in the newsprintmill owned and operated by the Interna-tional Paper Company.

Now, I don't know why they ever namedthe bay here Bay de Chaleur, or Bay ofIleat, right now it's downright cool outside,and in a few months' time we will be

adling in five feet of snow and with onlythe tips of our nones sticking out of ourwilter garments. The only place whereheat may be fnin. will be on top of thekitchen stove. Well, so much for the "Bayof Heat."

All the members of our little local hereaere union men beore we organized under

the I. B. E. W., belonging to an interna-tional union org.nized mlore or less alongthe pattern of an industrial union with allcrafts as well as unskilled labor in thesame organization,

I may be wrong, but my personal opinionis that what happened to us is what is go-ing to happen to the C. 1. 0. industrial

unlons sooner or later. Because it lustdoes not work out satisfactorily to all con-cerned in a mixed union of that kind. Thoseof one craft certainly cannot be expectedto he interested in the problems and grier-ances brought up at a meeting by thoseof another craft. The unskilled workerthinks he ought to be placed on the samewage level as his Brother tradesman andtries to keep the skilled worker from goingahead, with the idea in his mind that hehimself should be brought up to the samelevel first, And as is almost always the easein an industrial union, the unskilled work-ers are in majority.

Well, we stood it for five years beforetile drops in our bucket of patience finallybhea.ne one tol many and it ran over. Andnow, here we are in our own Brotherhoodwhore we belong. The operating engineershave organized their own local too, and themachinists ar a also getting ready to orI ni-ires on their own. And I do not think thatthe result here of our trial of industrialunion is an exelptitnal one. I firmly bellie.that utloss the present system of operating

the industrial union is improved upon, wewill see what happened here repeated overand over again in other places where indus-trial unions are organized.

And I ant sire all our members here nowfeel that they are "at home" in the Brother-hood where they belong; there isn't anydoubt in our minds in that direction.

Arid now, may I introduce to you theofficers of our I sI'l: Brother Joseph Four.nlier, our president; Brother Adr £o- -tello, the vic jireideint; the recordi-ng ste-retary, tlroither Olaf Bogstad, arid our Pian-

Well, iny friends, those Fisher Body jellsthat Flinlt has been famous for having everyyear far sevr al years were just a spurt thisyear. We diii not have enough for any ,int-ore this timnl. All of our avai labl e men wereout on the job but only for a few weeks.Brother IFrank (Pup"') Allen. ran the jill,with the able asistanen of our president,Brother William Walker.

Speaking of fishing, we have two Of theislingest inmsermen that every ished forfish, in tile pers ona of Brothers Jeff Perry-Ilanll a.id irs Snedden. Brother "Srizzy"has one of those transparent gadgets aboutthe sire of your thumb. It's hollow withsmall holes in it and hooks attached to theoutide,. Yioiu pIt your minnow inside of thisdoodad anrl when you cast it in the waterthe tube fills with water and your minnowwill cut up all dioes to get out of the con.tiaption, Now Brother 'Snezzy' laims hebought the thing to keep from being cruel toanimals, or whatever you call ininnows hutBrother Perryman elaims he bought it fhrdifferent reasons. Ilre's how he w.orks it.lie die iinit have to bait his h.uk bint onetime, unless the nminnow dies of fright. Ifand hen, be successfully snags onei of thefinny tribe. he Just lets him dangle over thewater to keep him alive; then casts for all-other one to keep that one com-pony. So figure it out foryourself!

All of our boys who worked onthe job in Pittsburgh have noth-ing but praise and commendationfor the Pittslburgh local. Theymet a lot of old friends and madea lot of new ones. Life should befortified by nany friendships. Ifwe do not make new eaquain-tances its we pass through life, wewill soon find ourselves left alone.Therefore. we should keep ourfriendships in constant repair.

In the August Woinx the,cribe of lI.cal No. f-52, Newark.N. J.. entioned a building tradesbutton to be issued to mehanicsuarterly. Our building trades

have a system simelar to that, onlythey issue a button every monthwith A different colored button foreach month. We find it a goodsystem as i is very easy to checkUp on anyone on the job who isnot wearing a button. STI

that's not SO hot lately. Our city, ounty,and state elections are obming onle rigtit iontop of the other. Thenr were three bumRepublicans running against one good Demo-crat for governor. Tihe three are as populuirwith each other as a barber in Russia. Theyare telling you that if elected they vill cutthe taxes and reate jobs for every man andwoman, and all of our financial worries willle ov.er.

Now getting back to my politics. We ofGOeIsee County let Michigan and the restof the country know what labor can do whenwe stick together. Out of a nine-ninan cityeommimissiua labor nominated seven and wonfive. We wlon nu in the nonlinotiorm forCongressman for the Sixth Congressional Dis-trict, and two state representatives of nesee Ciounty. Which all goes to prove thetruth in the old axiom, "In unity there isstrength," This is an axiin that has beenblforo us fli several thousand yearl, but itjust doesn't seein to sink in, If you enlen-btr your Suniday school days (can you re-meniber back that farl, there iveld an ohlpatriarch who thought he had just ab.ou.t ivedhis altedl span of years.

his death it would be divided up among hissons, He had six sons. so he told each boy tobring him a stick of like isze. He put thesix sticks together and tied them into abundle and tried to break them but he couldnot dio it. He untied the bundle and pro-roded to break the sticks one by on. Nowthis man (Samuel I think was his name) Ithink was about the first organizer. Hewonted to show his boys it they stuck byeach other they could go places. but if theywent separate ways, it would be an easy

nimatter to break them.This incident happened before the tiime of

Christ, but it's a fact that holds true to thisday. As an individual we are helpless. but ina body we can get most anything withinresso,. ILife's longest span is short, and themysteries of what went before end whatmiay follow remain unsolved; but we know

that we get out of life just what we putinto it, so why not get the .nu.t out of itthIrough unity, and make this old world abetter place in which to live?

1. U. NO. B-1123, WASHINGTON, N.J.Editor:

As this is our loeal'd first letter to theWonn, I hardly know where to begin.This is a new local, instituted last Marchby International Representative Cristiano,who has been working with our agreement,ommalthte tie past few months endeavoringto gain a signed agreement with the plantmuanaement. Needless to say, we are morethan, pleased at the progress that has beenmade the past three or four months.

This local, with other lalor orgain-tions, sponsored a Labor Day parade thisyear. We had three members on the paradeesmmlttre, Nelson Mattison, Jr. Clyna Mor-gan ad James Jean. The chairmanshipof the committee was handled il a veryefficient way by our own "Nels" Mattison.Nels took over when the local townspeopledropped the parade. With nine bands andover a thousand union people in line, itwas the largest labor parade ever held inWashington. We arelooking forward toan even bigger and better one next year.After the parade Local No. B-1122 playedhost to some of the different locals. Thesuds flowed freely for a few hours. Weeven adopted one of the bands. So didErnie. The last seen of Ernie he wasilelding the baton like a full fledged bands-

man The drums seemed to faeinate someof ou..r female contingent, partiularly Get-tie, who tried to take one home with he,.All in all, a good time was had by everyone.

We aro idebtod to Local No. B-52 in New-Ark, N. J., for the loan of a flag and bannerwhich were used in the parade.

I would like to say hello t the boys inHartford of No. B 1013 and tell them we mayIdrop in some day to see them.

I certainly would like to see the memberscome out to our meetings in greater numbers.That is the best way to find out what isreally going on. If you have any criticismto make of the managejment oI the local,let us know.

It is regrettable that the data for thewage earning group was not furtherbroken down to show average incomesfor varying degrees of skill.

SANTEE-COOPER RIVER PROJECT(continued from page 521

onstruter the proj't. If these funds a:

to he available for our laborers downthere, we want yeou people to see our sidl,too, in the hope that there can be anagreement that will be as fair as thesituation will permit to labor andm yet bean agreement that will permit this proj-et to be constructed rapidly so that wemay have the immediate relief of uern-ployment and what we hope is a pe.rm-nent relief for the industries that weknow will come into this locality when theproject is completed.

"We want you to know we want to co-operate in every way possible. We arepleased to honor and recognize the prin-ciples of collective bargaining and thewonderful work ite labor organizationsare doing to increase the efficiency of themost of those organizations in the longrun to contribute to economic construe-lion. We are familiar with all that. Wewant your co-operation in this matter.We did what we thought was the bestthing under the circumstances. We tookthe highest union wage we knew of inSouth Carolina and applied it to thisproject. We couldn't go to the TVA wagerates because we didn't have the money,and as we understood the contract thedefinition of prevailing wages wouldn'tjustify our having adopted that schedule,but we think we have been at least reason-ably fair, so far.

"You gentlemen have submitted tous a contract which is under considera-tion. We are not able now to express anopinion on that contract, but we do wantyou to know that so far aD the stateauthority of the state of South Carolinais concerned in this project we are goingto reach you half way. At the same time,we want you to realize that our funds arelimited. The need for this work isgreat, and by a proper approach to thismatter there will be no trouble. I do notlook for any trouble with labor on thisproject. That board of directors, downthere, each man on it is entirely too fair,too big a man. to have any labelor troubleswhatsoever. We aren't going to havethem, that is all there is to it. Youpeople are going to be reasonable and youwill find the state authority reasonable.in that connection, we have had the honor

of having as chairman of that board itman who as just recently elected gov-ernor of the state, and a man who has inall his transactii.s been fair to labor.He believes in high wages and he has nohesitancy in saying so, and as govrerI,.of the slt, hel wiill e chairmaln f ourliadvisorjy board, and he will Ii poimit the

1allhemr within the next fill years onItilhe tate authority.

I war. t yon to kInow tv alle dailg the

best we tan, and in oubmitting this atewe thought we were taking your well-established union rate, and I want to e-peat again, if we made any errors wiwant to eorr.ct any errors there are. Wemade the rate on the best available in-formation. We must be economical, wemust pay back 55 per cent of this moneyWe mnst justify it so as to make thepiject beneficial to the popl, orf South(jirruhina.

"'Now, Mr. Chairnman, I have addlesaed my remarks re tihes, gIentlmn.

I wanted to talk to them, I wanted them,to know the officials of the Soutlih 0lo-

ine Authority are friendly to organizeilabor and will Mneet you half way illany request that you want to submit atany time. Some of you have been downthere, and I have had the pleasure of

O BE a voter with the rest is not so much:and this like every institute, will have itsimperfections. But to become an enfran-

chised man, and now, impediments removed, tostand and start without humiliation, and equalwith the rest; to commence or have the road clear'dto commence, the grand experiment of develop-ment, whose end (perhaps requiring several gen-erations), may be the forming of a full-grownman or woman-that is something. To ballastthe state is also secured, and in our time is to besecured, in no other way.
