·WHY TExTnOOKS?

There have been llInny l"Juestions asked about textbooks uscd in the National Course for a]lJlrentices, And much discus;;ion on the pros and cons of which books lo use, how to use them, the value to the apprentice, and how the JATC should hllndle these books,

It is well established th;\t in lhe past the hig weakneSB in training apllrentices was in the WHY lIart-the tJleorctica l or technical part, the related informntion. So relntcd clnsscs \\'eJ'e slatted; instl'uctol's taught fr'om an outline using books :IS a reference, assigning Jl:lges or cha pters to be rear! by the apprentice, This developed into what is now known as a s tudent workbook with Sl~ific Jla~s to be studied in textbooks and booklets, and (Iuestions :lIIswered,

No one book could possibly contain information on the wide variety of topics that the ll.llprentice must learn about, SO several books and other reference materials are used, The total number of these books must be keJlt

APPRENTICESHIP A N D

TRAINING

at a minimum so the hest on each tOllic are released, The apllnmtice uses these books alld becomes familiar with them, and le:lrllS how to use reference materials, The National Course does not use all the infonna t ion contained in lilly of the references so the apprenlice can and will continue to guin knowledge frOIll them, When he fi nishes his apprenticeship he has a start on a good library so ess('ntiat fo r one who intends to keep up in his lr~ule,

Some of the reference material such as manufacturers booklets arc furnished by the Nutional J ATC with each studen\, workbook. It is recolllmended that the Local J ATC buy the textbooks dil'ectiy fl'om the publisher to receive the proper di scounts alld issue them to the uPPI'entiee as the class hl>r.in~ in gf'lllf'mhl' r .. r.arh 1I1111rl'ntice pays the J ATC for his books, This system has severnl ndvantnges such ns having the books 011 time, having the right edition, getting thc beet price, and discouraging the older al)prentice from seHing his books-he needs to keep them as a library for fulure reference.

• • • • • WRITTEN SE LE C TIO N PROCEDURE A MUST

This procedure hns been attacked by SOme apprenticeship repl"esentath'es but it has stood the tcst and has been praisCfl by Illilily high-Je\'cl 8t;lte ilnt!

• • • • • TRADE TRAIN ING 11'\ THE ELECTRI CA L CONSTR UCT ION INDL:STRY

When there is a discus-sion on trade training in the Industry two major areas are handled seJmrately-alljlrenti~ training and joUrne}'man training,

APPRENTICE TRAINING

Here we will touch brieRy on the

related infOl'mation portion, the WHY, and leave the manillulath'e HOW, to a later date,

Some would use the classroom hours to cram the a l,prentice's head with "facts" and expect that he would relate them to his work and make use of them on the job. Rut it has been found that the possession of facts does not alwars mean an ability to use them,

A better al,proach is to teach some basic fact s. Then teach the apprentice to use these facts and reason-think through the problem and come up with the answer. With this approach the a pprentice cnn be stilllulated to seek more knowledge lind ('1111 be guided in his search. lI is (lue~t for information and anSwer:,; to his job problem~ will continue long beyond hi~ term of llp jll'I'n t iccship.

J OU RNeYMAN T llAIN ING

Even though most. jOUrlleymen express n desire for some high le,"el "technical" training, their immediate need is for more ba~ic knowledge to " fill in the gal'S" caused by their lack of formal studies. When they lake the more bm!ic courses they find some things that ther have some knowledge of, but usually learn much and thereby de\'elol) a foundation on which to build, Then the more technical cour.oes can be understood and the journeyman is better able to apJl[~' his ne ..... ly gained knowledge to his work.

One day I'll always l'emember is my first day of school. I l'emembel' being so thrilled and excited, I had a new llencil box and a big tablet with a IIic:tul'e of a little girl with a bulldog on it. I remcmlll'l' my Mothel' w;\s crying, and I s;lid, ' I won't go if rou don't want me to, :'l lama.'

"And she said, ' I want you to go, hone\" and 1 said 'Then wh\' are \'ou cI'yin'g'!' ' "

"Anll m}' mother laughed and sai(l, 'You wouldn't undel'stand, But you'll ha\'c a little bo~' ai' girl someday and then you'll know.''' .. .. .. .. ..

SOllie lh,>i:olleetions Are FUliny

A few memories were in the humorous \'ein,

"I remember when I was about thn~e years old, my gmndfather came to \'isit and he took his false teeth out and jiggled them at me, I'll ne\'el' forget my feeling of tenor and horror as I ran screaming to my mother."

~ .. .. .. . '; 1 remember when I was about

12 gidng my protesting 4-yeal'-0Id hrothel' a b:lth. He was all soapy and slip \J (!I'Y and he eluded my gl'lISp and mn out of the house and into the st reet clothed on ly in a few soapsuds. I can heal' our mnilman chuckling yet and the horrified stare of 11 s\Jinstcr lady who Jived on OUI' block and would have to pass at just that momcnt! I can remember how embalT3sscd I was !"

.. .. .. . " ';1 remembel' one day my sister and wel'e in the back yard, We had

washed our hair and wel'e drying it in the sun. We had neighbOl's who were ;\ little odd, not very friendly and who kept to themseh'es, I heard a noise over in theil, yfll'(). and I cautiously got up and went o\'el' to the high hom'(). fence, separating our "ropert}' from theirs. Quietiy I lleel'ed thl1)ugh a knothole in the fence, I t was all dark and on the other side I could ~ee nothing, Imagine my consternation to suddenly realize, a dark eye was lleering thn)ugh from the other side, Neither of us could see a thillg-we wel'e 'eye to eye!'" . .. .. .. ..

Old F ash ioned Pleasures

Just "lain old fashioned joys came high on everybody's memory l i~t:

" I remember making homemade ice cream on Sunday moming and getting to lick the lladdle,"

.. . .. .. " " I remember on hot days, m}'

mothe)' would bring two big laundl')' tubs out into our back )'ard. We filled them with water and then, dressed in our underweal', we had 11 'splash


[lllrty.' No tl'ill to a fane~' beach in the yean; since has evel' equaled the old-fashioned joy we had with those old laundl').' tubs of cold water."

l'Cmembered. and in general we tend to forget, 0 1' at least minimize in memOI'y, the unpleasant eXlleriences, .. .. " .. .. . ~ .. .. " Mothers: "lake :'I l emori('s!

"I l'emember when I was about scyen, one night my fathel' callie home late ft'om the store whel'e he worked, alI(I I was in lled asleell, He called to me and said 'Come on, get up, I have something fOl' you.' I was so sleepy, I didn't move, Then I fell Dadtly Ilut something warm and soft and fuzzy, dght down on the l,ilJow next to me, lt WllS the sweetest, prettiest little pup"y!

Members Must Guard Jurisdiction Says L.U. L.U. 1, ST. LOUIS. MO.-On Satur~ day June 6th, Local No.1, in con~ junction with St. l..ouis ChulIler o[ the National Electrical Contractors Association and in cooperation with the SL Louis Tuberculosis Society provided to the 1l1crnbcrs of Local No. 1 fl"eC chest X·rays for tuberculosis tests.

LOCA.;>j(LINES

Also pro\"ided was medical equiJlment to test for diabetes. Six hundred and fllty chest lJlates were t.lkcn of the members and their families and o\'cr 900 diabetes test kits wel1~ distributed. More health tel>ts will be gh-cn at a laler dute which is all a service to the members in conjunction with their Health anti Welfare Program furnished free 10 them through their working agreement with the \otal chapter of NECA.

We arc again calling to the :Ittcnlion of Local No.1 members the lack of coopel·ation on their !);IJ·t with the business manager's ofllce in regard to letting wOl·k that l·ightfully belongs to the Electrical Worker slip into the hands of other tra(les. 11. scems that when wo,·k is plentiful many wil·emcn al'e prone to overlook Imd fOl·get about electrical equipment on jobs that can be easily handled by otlu,,· tmdes.

The llusiness manager's ollice is finding morC and mOrC CHSCS or Local No. I. members saying nothing ahout. getting on jobs and finding eleddc ranges, slove hoods with lights and exhaust motors, kitchen exhaust fnns, electde bnse boanl heating, and lllany other items including ceiling and walt fixtures set in place by other trades.

Business i\lanllger Lanemann llromises thnt drastic action will be taken against members of Local No, 1 who filii to rellOrt to his ofllce nny such cquilllllent installed by any other trades.

It is a violation of the City and County Electrical Code for other than licensed contJ'tIctors to do electrical work. One of the biggelit I'iolations in\'0lve8 both l'Csidential and industrial ganlge door 0llener8. Thi~ equipment comes completely wit'ed and nssemble(1 (l"Om thc faetor~' and is usuatly illst:llied by the dool· mall. If this is the situntion OIl you I' job, call the lJUsiness manager's oflicc at oncc.

L. U. 125, I'OltTI..AN D, O l { ~~ ,-Thc evening or l\Iuy 25th '\'811 al1oth('I' event of good fellowship when we enlc.'rlained our "Old Timers" at cocktnits and dinner. Of the :328 memb('l's nOw on retirement 130 aUended the Iinnual affair, During the rc;)r 41 members were placed on retirement and :! I members left this world, thus mllintaining quite a consistent number of retirees correSllOnding to approximotel)' 10 IlCr cent of our tolal memben<hil).

We were most fortunate and halJP)' that Vice President Vinson W:IS able to return home and attend the gathering in his new role as guest and guest Ilwaker.

It is a privilege to gather with these old membel's and watch lheir I"'ogress through the ~'ears and listen to their reminiscing of the past. It ill also a gentle but firm reminder that the lime ill fast app roaching when ol1e stellS over the line as guest,

THE ElECTR ICAL WORKERS'

A new membel" was initiated into OUl' "Elite Club" of 50-year membet'S when Vice Pt~sitlent Vinson p resentcd the ci tation anti cet,tificate to BI'other J ohn G, Bell , The roster in the club remains fairly constant at its presertt membel'shiJt of si);, Three membet's can boast o f 56 years, one membel' has 55 years and one has 53 years of membership,

OUI' State legislatUl'c adjoul'Ited on )Tay 14th after a ne;]r reCQrd session of l 23 days, One often speculates on what was actually accomplished during this prolonged session and why it took so long, It has ofte n been stated that, given a Ill"Oller progmm, a com, puter can give out :111 answer on any question in the matlet' of minutes, It would be most intet'esting to see the I'esults of a study comparing the expended effot'ts and accotllpli~htllents achieved by 11 legislator dUt'ing this long !iession and those of a journeyman o\'er a similal' length of time,

A majol'ity of the legis.\ators refused to be gO\'el'ned by good judgment and common sense and allowed political pressu reS to influence their actions resulting in adjournment befOl'e their tasks were completed, To bl~ak this impass the Go\'ernor immediately called them b. .. ck in special session to provide fOl' t~apportion' ment of Congressional distdcts,

Labor s ponsored bills and legislation failed miset'ahly at the hands of this legislature gh' ing ample indication that laUol' must entirely o\'el'h:1U1 and I'eyaml) its IJ1~sent I>olicy and method of l"CCommending and SUPllort, ing candid'HeS for' publ ic offices,

Once again the house of labor found itself dh'ided on issues which mani, fested itself on the alllll~nticeship

training polie>', A dras tic cllange in the fl'ame wOl'k of the State ap]Jrenticeshill plan which would have curt.tiled OUI" participation in thi s yital sel'vice was passed by both branchcs of the legislature, We extend our thanks and all]ll~ciaUun to OUt' Go\'ernot' when, realizing the Callac~' of the bill anti the chaos it wuuld create, he applied his veto thus preve nting it from becoming law of the land,

We question the sincerity of many sUP llortcrs of the bill in their conten, tion that the pl"O~Tam !>hould \.Ie gl~atl)' cXIJanded to add humireds of new apprentices and that II I'escrvuh' of tmined men is cssential to meet futUt'e ,~quit~ments, No Ill"Ovision WllS m.lde, howe\'er, to em ploy these men within the tr-.lde while they wel'e t'eceiving the expanded tl'aining,

Past actions b>' many of these supporte l's nroused our s uspicions amI we (ear their intent is to flood the labor nt;u'ket with insufficiently trained men and thus lower' wages and conditions for joumeymen of m:1Il}" tra.des,

We were greatly disturbed al~o by the actions of some industrial unions in their acth'e sUllport of this bill. It appears that they have a gl-eat desire to ex pand their field of ende;l\"OI' into bt-:lnches o f the tl-:lde p l~sently under the jurisdiction of other unions, " Itaiding," I believe is the proper de, scl"i ptiye word,

Sections or the IlI"Oposed hill or Jaw would have gl'Catly cUt,t;liled our partici pation in the administration of the pl'ogl"llm and, in our estimation, decreased the effectiveness o f the entile trammg progl'anl le.n' ing the graduate apll rentice with imufficient eXllerience and training,

50-Year Certificate

Vice Pre,ident Vin,on pre,en" the 50 year ce rtifica te to John G, Bell 01 local 125,


We are lllu'ticulal'ly proud of our present training pl'ogram which has taken many years to develop to its acknowledged high standards and we feel justified in demanding that t he pl"l~sent method of cooperative adminis t ra t ion b}' the union, the em, ployer and the State agenq' be continued, Out' journeymen are the men who faCe the hazards, the "hot s tuff ," of electl'ic u t i li t ), work and we ha\'e an obligation to assist in the selection and training of their future working pal'tnel'S,

A number of unions put forth a great amount of enet'g}' in theil' effOl'ls to ]lrevent the adopt ion of this damaging bit of legislation in Ol"del' to maintain the present high standards of jour'neymanship, OUI" journeymen now ha\'e a gl~ater obligation allli responsibilit}' than evet' befot'e in supporting the :lction of the union and in cOOllet'ating to the fullest extellt with the union ill it s efforts to meet the demands for joul'neymen even though unpleas.-mtness might develOI' on some particulal' job,

T he youth labor 01' poverty progt'am now under de\'elopment and expansion is creating a feeli ng of a llpl"ehension in our thinking, The program appeal'S on the s urface most worthy, and in many cases justified, but we ~luestion the administration of any crash pt'O~Tam, Innumerable instances arise gh·ing indication that nearly e\'elJ ' educational body is greedy for a linancial hund-out in the name of Ilo\'erty eradication in an effort to expa nd its racilities and activities,

GO\'ernment agencies at all le\'els :Ire I)r'essed into hiring deset'\"ing ~'oulhs at .1 wage rate of $1.25 pel' hour which is somewhat lowe,' than the pre\'ailing rate, WOt,thy as the Ill"Ogram might be it is most inconsistent when, as we find in this '-1I~a, the~ agencies discontinue a predousIy estOiblished IlOlicy of hil"ing college students at the prevailing wage rate to perform this seasonal but neCesl'ary work, Xow these college students find it most difficult to ohtnin summer work and labor is faced with the ex' pan~ion of low wage !-:lte categol"ies,

The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico hired David OgiJvy about 10 years ago (or the express I)Url)Ose of creating here on the mainland a fa\'onlble image of that unfortunate island. The island gO\'el'nor was convinced that such 11 move would nlean the salvation of his depressed Ci':onomy. So, what haJlllened?

Within olle decade the magic of ad\·c l·tisi ng hl ill so tra nsrOnlH!d Pucrto Rico's image in Amedcnn minds thll t today most Ileoille think of it as a ll"()pical paradise. Ils allpeal to A medcan invelltors and tourists is the talk of Latin American embassies. ils economy iff nourishing. In his book. "Confessions of an Ad\'ertising J\I ;m," Mr. Ogilvy describes hla advertising campaign which made Puerto nieo's transformation possible. In his ad\'ertisements he siml)l), emphasized the good things about this little Caribbean island. And if the eXDmllle of Puerto !tico's "renaiall:lnce" is not enough to prove the l)Ower of ad\·ertising. Mr. Ogil,,)' points to the case of A. T. and T.: "George Cecil ""rote the A. T. and T. advertising copy for 30 years anti succeeded ill building an image 110 favorable that it made a monopoly 1)Ol)ular in a country whieh has no love for monoIIOIiCI." Pel'hallS in these da),a when we ate huving sueh II time of it trying to l'epeul sectioll 14(b) of Taftihrtley, we would do well to hire II David Ogilvy or n GcoI'ge Cecil.

Many members recall the night n disgruntled Brother he had fired on one job wnlked O\'er to hinl before the meeting and after hurling insults tried to beat him up.

about the lLppn:nti~ program amazed him. "I find that sollle or )'OU havc Ilut in more hours wilh )'our studies and on·the-job lI'aining to prepare you [or your journeymnll card than I did to Ilrepare me fOi' my profes· sion." li e went on to sa)' that he never kllew this as the newspaper of the area IlCvcr informed the public of this fac~.

"If I were you." hc added, " I would get this inConllation to the Jlublic even if it Illeant buying' advertising space".


There was no " Apprentice of the Year" picked this year as five apprentices tied [or that honor. According to them the}' were all outstanding apprentices. The first year class is running even closer than this group. The grades run from a low of 84 to a high o[ !J6.

We hope you like the pictul'es but the one we wanted most did not turn out. You l'emcmbel' Mike O'Brien beglln this class and thcn fell six sI01·ies. He had to give up the class. Al'nold Bleeker completed the tel'lll but the boys wanted !'.like invited to their graduation. Mike was not only able to make the dinner but has returned to work. Look for his and Arnold's picture at a later date.

The inside apprentices received voltage testers and the line alJprentices, pliers.

The work situation has remained good all summer and is expected to remain the same [or quite some time. Each one of you is working full time. Your billfolds should be packed. Under these circumstances people begin buying. This is as it should be. You may need new shoes, a suit of clothes or a hat to be bought, a house to be built, a loaf of bread, a new car, cigarettes, 01' a can of beer. The best shopping guide you call find anywhere is the Union LabeL I t is a reminder or quality merchandise made under decent working condi t ions by well paid workers.

Ladies ! Starting March 1, 1959 everr dress manufactured by membel'S of the Intcrnational Ladies Ganncnt Workers began to carry the ILGWU label. These rraternal Brothers and Sisters of )'our husband make upward of 130 million dresses yeady. Thesc all bear the Union Label. Surely you can find one suited to your needs.

Teach your husband, teach your children, to recognize and demand Union Label products. It is ou r life, perhaps yours as well . You women hold the 1lUrse strings so how about spending your husband's union-earned money fOl' products produced by other union members whenevel' 1lossible. There goes that cross phasing again. We blow more fuses that way!

A loca l union auxiliary cOllsists of the mothers, wives, daughters and sist-crs of union members. Surely one of your most productive members must have the required amount of female personnel within YOUI' own family to organize our most needed auxiliary. \Ve need marc picnics and dances and the)' are the most logical people to do it.

Bill Coogan reports the bowling teams did not fare too welt at the last meet but he has agreed to furnish us with some pictures for the next letter. Seems like there was something else but guess it is better to forget it as we have been requested

Tele phone Local Demonstrat es Brothe rhood L. U. 827, Nl':WAHK, N.J.- Members of :llorristown , Unit No. 11, Telephone Workers Union, Local 827, recently ga\'e a vl\'id demonstration of brotherhood in action when they fanned a task force to help a Brother in dis-

tress, one Sunda)' in Mar. "You ne\'er know how man)' friends

you ha\'e until the chips are down," Erwin Dahms, a multiple sclerosis ,·ictim." said and shook his head in wonder as he watched nearly 55 fellow union membel'S hammer, saw and paint to comJlletc a I~pair and land· scaping job on his modest six-room Cape Cod bungalow in Rh'el' Hoad, Stanhope.

"This is like something you would read about but ncver expect to havc h;lppcn to ~'ou," he said.

13t'othel' Dahms, who was an operatiolls clerk in the l\lonislown district for nearly J2 years, was fon~ed to stop wOI'k last October when he became ill. He contracted the illness soon after mOl'lng into the house with his wife and four children. "Since then. all these jobs have been piling up around here," he said. "Then the fellow~ all showed up at 8 o'clock one Sunday morning and starled to work. I can't believe how much they have accomplished in such a short time. I guess I have some very good friends."

He said, "I never realized before that pCQ]lle could be this neighborly and care that much about ellch othel·." Hi s wife, Shirlcy, added in awe. "The t rouble is, I don't know how we can sa l' thank "ou."

Dave Taylor, chairman of tIll: unit, said that the idea had originated at a membership meeting aile nigh t and was enthusiastically appro"ed. He said that this sort of thing was ·'some· thing you don't filld much of these days, but" he continued, "this is what unions at'e supposed to be doing for each othet· and fOI' themseh·es. Afterall, we call ourselves a Bn)therhoocl and this is just another demonstralion of what brotherhood means."

The energetic helping hands carted away 20 truckloads of rock fl'Om the grounds, spread a truckload of dirt, donated by T. Landi and Sons, Inc.

THE ElECTRICAL WORKERS'

fOl' answel'" to some of the kind of problems we have, and I am sure these Brothers will know some of the answel·S that will help us cope with the Qne~ at hand in nlQst Qf the locals.

Well, Brothel·s, I think thi s is enough Qn this subject, but «Qn't take Qffense, just think these things Q\·el·, and if )"QU come up with sQrnething, write in to the .IOtTRX,\I •.

I win say this, too, that when most. tr.!\"elers deposit their clln"is in rour local when work is slack, 1Il0st of them mo\·e on to other areas and sometimes a local lIl;;n at· two go with him. So, it all evens itself up. An~'way, I (10 not think that locals were set up fOI· only the men in the local. If th is were so some of them could not exist for a lack of membership. Tax money, which comes from evet·y taxpayer in the 50 states of the union, is Sl)ent on defense jobs and missiles sites, military bases, etc., and they:u·e certainly builL to protect e\"erybod~' in each of the 50 states.

Now, back to Local 952's problems. I am \·el·Y sony to l"Cport at this time that wOl·k is very bad in Ventura and the 952 area. Howeve l·, plenty of work will be on the agenda in fall.

A lot of our wOl'k was shut down and sent to Alabama, Mississil)pi and Texas, but these same Brothel·s there need the work, too. I al!lO ha\·e heanl ther l"Cspect fellow travelers. This makes fat· good unionism.

We ha\-e some Brothers on tIle road now, some young fellows and some oldel· Brothel·s. [ hope these young Brothen; will learn some good and better ways in which things are done and how other locals opel·ate.

We ha\·e Brothers in Ohio, lndi:ma, Texas , Michigan, Oregon and Washington, so, we have travelers, too. Hope that when the>· come back in they will have some good ideas to help

further the cause of all organized labor.

Brothel·S, I want to tell you about an attractive item im·ented b), one. of our members, Brother C. B. "Blue" Sinutko. "Blue" has taken out a patent on his 6pinli (·Q?lt'l! . (three inches in length) which can be sli Jll~ed over the lights of the Chl"islmas tree [or added attraclh·eness. They at·e coiled in one-half inch metal (stain and tamish-proof) and (""ollle with a fiberglas washE'r that fits between the socket and hulb for Ilrotection in cas;e a socket should short. Since the cones come in many different colo I"!!, they can be used in lighting decorations for any festil"!! occasion inside the home or out in the patio the yeal· round.

"Blue" has run out of money and also his doctor tolli him to quit working with it, as thel"C is too much 1)l"Cssure all him. His patent is for sale or lease. If you al"C interested in bu~'ing an~' of the cones, 01· if you are intel"Csted in leasing or buying the p,ltent, wl"ite to C. 13. "Blue" Sinutko, 5150 La AvenUe, Santa Susana, California .

OUl" President also helped by getting the Th:avcr County Housing Authority to cut the rents of our str iking members to n bare minimulll while they were on strike, plus many many other services during the strike like going to court to fight against the injunction that the ('Ollll'any tried to get aguinsl our local union, and which the COIllpall)' did not get in the Beaver County Courts.

Officers of Two Loca ls Hold Beneficia l Meeting LU. 1238, WIL)IIXGTOX. DEL.-On Thursda)" c\'ening April 22, 196.5, Local 1238 (rom Delnware Power and Light Company and 1..0<::11 1307 from Eastern Shore Public Service Company of :\br)·jnnd and Eastern Shore Public Sen'ice Compan)' or Virginia held an in formal meeting or their officers and Executh'e Boards.

The two locals met at Voyer, Delaware which is the half way poillt between the two locals.

Brother Monroe Whaley, president of Local 1307 was ullable to attend due to a heart attack.

Brother John Ryan, trea surer of Local 1238 had all operation on the day of the meeting.

At the time this article is being written, both Brothers are at home and doing nicely.

For the past two years these locals have been meeting before each local s tarts to negotiate changes in their working agreements.

A suggestion was made by Brother Frank Smith, president of local 1238, that each I)(!rson give his name, the dellartment he worked for, and the type of duties he perfomlS. This seemed to create a good s tart for the meeting.

Most of lhe individuals doing similar types of work began to talk on their various problems.

Discussions were carried on in groups, and although no Imttern was set on how the talks would be conducted, many ideas were exchanged.

It seems that both locals are interested in better working conditions, improved vacation a nd I)(!nsion plans. or course money was a lso discussed, but by the time that we start to negotiate, the patter n has already been set and the only course for us is to fi ght to get the trend in our district.

Here's hoping that Local 1307 gets !:lome good changes in their working agrooment this year.

Railroad Local Praises Skill Improveme nt Courses LU. 1353, LOU ISVILI. E, KY.-)Iembers of l«aJ Union 1353, Louhwille, Ky., who are employes of the Louisville and Nashville Ibilroad COlllpany arc participating in a Skill Improve· ment Program offered to its members by the 1.0.

For O\'er 10 ycars there have been several strong advocates of some type of an extra training progl'illll among the oflicers and memuers of lhis local union. 1I0\\'evel", the issue \V IIS some' what like the proverbial weather in that e\'eryone talked but no one did anything about it. At least. that was the case until 18 months ago.

The spark that actunlly started the Skill Improvement Program in this, a Railroad loclil union (the In EW h:ls had such Jlrograms in other branches of the trade for several years), was the result of several closely related events like the final pieces of a jigsaw falling in place.

On Jllnuary 21, 1964. Brother Thomas Ramsey, Internalional Vice President. IB EW, Tenth District (Railroads). announced that Brother J. G. Hayes had been appointed as an International Represelltative on the Tenth District Staff effective Febru~ ary 1, 1!)(;,I, lind would he assigned to handle the promotion of our J ourneymen Skill Impl'oVllment Program for' the Elecll'ical Wor-kerR, as well as the enlargement and improvement. of the apPI'enticeship program.

On ~~ebruary 19. 19(;4. Brother Hayes llirected a lettel' of infonnation concerning the program to all IBEW Hail road gClIeral chairmen. Brother Ira Decker. b"Cneral chairman of System Council No. 30, IREW, lnunediately forwarded the infonllat.ion to nil officers and members of all affil· iated local unions urging their participation with the plea that. the program at IClist be explored.

UlId('r lhe inspiring leadership of Presi(lent. L. R. Kelsey, Local Union 1353 did explore and, following the example set. by Hailroad Local 848

THE ELECTlrCAL WOIKEIS'

in establishing their Electronics Program (story of which appeared in the Electrical Workers J ournal in April 19(4), an Education Committee was appointed. A survey of the membership revealed enough poten t ial interest to form at least one class, and after many meetings and correspondence with various school ofllcials, representatives of the Federal Apprenticeship Bureau and the IBEW Intenmtional Hepresent<ltive in charge of Skill Improvement Training, a dass in Basic Electricity began at the New State Area Vocational School, Jeffersontown, Kentucky, on November 4, 1964, with 25 members enro!!ed.

Being a strong advocate of a training pl"ogTam, as we!! ns one of the outstarHling Electrical Workers, Brother Glen D. ~los!; was unanimously selected as instructor. In "iew of the fact that some of the materials needed to prol>erly pl-esent the cour·se were not available, Brother Moss pron.>d his exceptional ability as an instructor by imllrovising both with respect to lesson material and lab experiments. Interest ill the class was such that enthusiastic students often J·efused the opportunity to work o,·erUme in order to be present, ami as a result attendance was excellent throughout the two-semestel· course. For various reasons such as change of shift, etc., seven of the students were unable to continue through lhe second senlC!;ter. However, on June 9, 1!l6{i, the following 18 ml'lllbers of Local {j"nion 1353 were presented with Certificates of Accomplishment for having successfully completed both Units I and II of the Rasic Eleetricity

Course: I ra Decker, J . R. Staashelm, W. G. Callahan, C. A. Toole, D. H. Wells, J. W. Kenealy, Jr., E. L. Triplett, R. G. Casper, R. E. Young, L. R. Kelsey, D. II . Lane, J. H. Maynor, E. L. Garrett, W. A. Gambrell, C. E. Anderson, J. A. S<.;hnerillgcr, J. P . Hagan, and V. A. Stokes. In addition, the ahove graduates also received Westinghouse Handbooks of Maintenance Hints which were generously provided by the Land N Railroad Company through Mr. R. E. Triplett, supervisor of employment.

As further demonstration of the enthusiasm and interest inspired br such a program, approxim:rtely 20 members ha"e signed up for a four-semester course in Industrial Electronics which is tentatively scheduled to begin on September 13, 1965. In addition, attempts al·e being made to schedule a second Basic Electricity class in the fall.

As a result of the combined efforts of the IntenJational Ofllce, System Council No. 30, and officers and members of Local Union 1353, this IJrogram has created an acute awareness or the need for skill improvement to meet the demands of the elccll"Onic age. AI! who participated should be commended and have every reason to be proud of their accomplishment.

The second 210-root M.E. cutler hllS her keel started on the ways llnd before long she will be launched to take her place proudly among the Coast Guard cutters.

Brothers, these are the fruits which our Congressmen and Senators went to bat for us at the Yard. A vote of confidence and many thanks are due them.

Everyone of these graduates is to be congratulated for their willingness to give so much of their time, freel>', whole-heartedly and without cost to the union. AI!,o, let none of us forget that they gave this time-not for any ;;elflsh I't!asons in ortlcl' to benefit themselves-iustea(1 they gave thei .. time and energy to help cHch of us shou ld the occasion ever a l'ise for us to need their hell) and advice, These Brothers and Sis ters ure anothelgroup of members who, along with so manr other groups that al'e community minded, ha\'e mude this local and its members known throughout the state as generous. wHrmhearted and loyal groul)S o( union member!'.

International Secretary Joseph D. Keennn was also present :tnd gave a lIice two-hour talk on everything in gencral, (rom COPE to safety, f l'om the finances of the International to 14(b).

One o( the things that really surpri sed me was that Vice President A, E, Edwal'ds flies his own plane everywhere he goes, lie gave a nice talk in New Orleans Sunday afternoon, and was due to speak in Los Angeles, California Tuesday morning, (M:IY his house always be safe (rom Gremlins.)

Saturday night. Local 130 gave a. buffet dinner and dance at the Seaman's International Union on JackllOn Street. The dinner and dance were wonderful, but what really inlrigued me was the building. It was really beautiful. Thanks a lot 130!

Not long ago, JUlie 81h, the officers of the local nnd the COPE Committee arr.:lnged a political rally at the local union hall. 1'hey were listening to the candidates running (or the Georgia House of Ite ]lt'esentalives. There were four men running on the Itel)ublican ticket and four on the Democratic ticket. They were all smart men and gavc nice talks, These men wct'c talking of locltl issues that concerned the people direct1)', like water systems and annexatlon, I counted the peo]lle that attended. I think there were (j0, Now, isn't, this a shnme that a group of men and women will put in hours of hard work to put across something and all they ask of lheir Brothers is thut they give an hour and hal( of their precious time to Bit and listen to what a grou p o( men ha\'e to sa)' abou~ their slate Government.

COPE bucked four men and one of thelll got elected, which was vcry nice. But the sad 11llrt :\bout it was that each position was decided on b)' about 350 votes, und we ha\'e 547 members.
