Now listen. all you rounders. for this here now orationIs designed to swell your wisdom and expand your education;If you dangle 'round electrons and mingle with the juice.Heres a little rhythmic lecture that youll wisely put to use,If I was a profane guy, I'd say, "It just beats hell,How otherwise smart fellows never heard of a Cottrell!*And if you're an operator, as it is my lot to be,You hate to have folks ask you ho Y earn your do-re-i.

So here, abbreviated, is the story uf the thing,And what it does, though why it does it I'm not answering.At first we have 440 volts of useful old AC,And then we knock the 40 off, it's done quite easily;At the switchboard it's 400 and from there it goes insideThe ease of a transformer that's heavy, high and wide--Which soups it up to 60,000 volts and maybe higher,And now it's changed to DC on a H11. T, rectifier.

Next, to take the ripple out, we run ilt through a choke,And lead it through on Ii. T. buss and hang it in the smoke.For that's the Cottrell principle of breaking up the gassesThat are found in variation in all the smoke that passes.Now, when a great big gob of smoke comes roaring down the flue,Our hot stuff's waiting for it. and you know what THAT can dolShe rips it up the belly and she rakes it down the hack,And by the time the poor old smoke can stagger to the stack,It's been through a bombardment that's cleaned it out completely,And Just a isp is all that's left, if things are working neatly.

So, now I hope the nut is cracked and I'v shown you the kernel-And now I'd better cut this off, or it won't get in the Journal.

USINESS men have come in for agreat many hard kinmck during thepast generation, in particular dur-

ing the last 10 years. Even when a busi-ness man as i type has been portrayedwith some sympathy by Sinclair Lewisin Babbitt, he is revealed as a man ofexceedingly narrow and provincial in-terests, incapable of seeing the problemsof his country against large backgreunds.Mor.eover, there has been good re.ason forsevere censure of the philosophy and thepractices of employer associations suchas the National Manufatuirers A ssocia-tion, at times the U. S. Chamber of Conm-merce, and many of the trades associa-tions which have been set up for thle soleipurpose of lighting labor. These asso-eiations have never expressed the viewsor opinions of more intelligent businessmen. They have existed solely as strong-arm organizations designed to defeatunionizaiion. Indeed, these employer or-ganizations have been a pheno.nrron pe-Fculia to American life. It is true thatemployers have organized in Eliope instrongr asscit[ionS, but they have founda social work in negotiations 'ith laborunions. The villingness to accept theideas of organization by labor and totreat with illor unions has cut off adark segment of opportunity for employerorganixations in the older countrik s Theenmploymen, t of pie, L the hirinlg of thugs,the dofeat of hdlabor legislation. at itimcstile bribery of public liWicis ho -thse haveleft a dark slain upon Americall historyand have damned completely the work ofsome employer organzatioi.s.

Because these things have iurredand because such associations still existand because such associations have re-fused to make pronouceeeents thatwould accept the newer order in whichtrade unions more than legally exist, thecontention of class struggle theoriststhat capitalists are heinous. anti-socialcreatures has been given. The formula.therefore, which has been applied, namelythat employers are either actual or po-tential fascists has hall widespreadacceptane.

of the B. & 0. Railroad, who is a pioneerin the field of union-management co-operation. Also David Warfield, of theSeaboard Airline Railway, We can recallthat Frank Vanderlip, a Wall Streetbanker, made an unusual contribution tosocial theory shortly after the war. Wecan mention Henry I. Hrriman, pastpresident of the 1'. S. Chamber of Com-merce, chairman of the Boston ElevatedRailroad, a man who has dealt with theInternational Brotherhood of ElectricalWorkers for many years. He has anoutward looking social philosophy anda soun intellectual method. In thisnumber of the JOURNAL . K. Comstoc lksummarized his views on relationshipswith unions and this summary is nota hollow one inasmuch as for yearshe has practiced these theories su.cess-fully in the electrical construction in-dustry. These men indicate that thereis nothing inherent necessarily in capi-talism to make it impossible for an em-ployer t do a good social job

If we turn for a moment away fromthe Unitld States we can see employersill England, Swede, anli other countrieswho }ulave perfornfld in the sale capacityas the men named have in America. Re-ciltly a Swedish apitalist, one o(f thelargest capitalists of Sweden, came tothe Unitil States. He is Mr AxelWenner-(ren. Mr Wennier-Gren Mnade astatement to the American press whichhad wide circulation throughout theUlnited States. 11e declared:

"The man, whether capitalist or laborleader, who preaches that the interestsof either can be advanced permanentlyby any nmethod other than compromiseis a menace to society

"In innumerable instances capital hasstupidly profitd without any commen-surate benefit accruing to labor Butlabor has never benefited for any periodof time under a set-up by which capitalcould not also benefit.

'"That is an inescapable law of theindustrial age. It is equally immutablewhether the goverlmlent be democraticor totalitarian, but failure to recognize itin a democracy is to tempt people to try

to correct the trouble by resort to totali-tarianism-as futile an action as drinkingsalt water to quench a thirst."

FOUR BUSINESS MEN AUTHORS

Now comes a book published only thismonth by McGraw-Hill Book Companywritten by four business men. The titleof the book is called "Toward Full Em-ployment." The authors are Henry S.Dennison, Lincoln Fileno, Ralph E. Flin-ders and Morris E. Leeds.

Mr. Dennison is president of the Den-nison Manufacturing Company, Boston,Mass. He operates a successful businessbuilt on modeirn lines. Re has at al timestaken a progressive attitude toward in-dustrial and social problems. He hashad considerable government experienceas assistant director of the Central Bu-reau of Planning and Statistics, ex-director of servie relations, U. S. Post

flice Department, and was a memberof the early National Labor Board.

Mr. Filene i a Boston merchant, treas-u'er and cha:nlam of the board of Wil-iiam Fihine's Sois Co, one of Boston'slargest and leading department storeslie is also a banker. lie, too, has hadlan interesting public career. He servedon tile Seven State Commission to studyunemployment insurance and was Lmlember of the Industrial AdvisoryBoard of the N. R A., and a mem-ber of the Massachusetts Advisory Boardof Education.

Like Mr. Dennison and Mr. Fileno, Mr.Finders is an enginmeer who has had awide business experiene(,, lie startedlife as a machinist's apprentice. He hasdone important technical work with theInternational Paper Box Machinery Com-pay,. He is director lnd manager ofthe Jones... & Laison Machine Co. liehas been an adviser to the U. S. Depart-ment of Colmere and adviser to tilLSulsistence Ilomestead Administration.

Mr. Leeds is a manufactulrr of pre-cision instruments with a wor:ld-wie rep-utation. He is president of Leedi aniNorthrup Co, Philadelphia. II is alsoan inventor of electrical and temperaturemeasuring instruments. He vas at onetime a special commissioner to the Amii-can Red Cross and has had a wide interestin the problem of unemploymen t.

on an engineeringbasis fuller employ-ment for Americanworkers. It doesillustrlite our pres-ent thesis thatAmneican business-men are not all at-tual or potential fas-cists, but are ci pabltof making a note-worthy contribution

to social theory andpalctice.

IIThe book "Toward

Full Employment"sets up a single the-,is, namely, whenworkers are not em-ploytd by privateindustry, then gov-ernnlent must as-

sume the responsi-bility and their em-ployment on a deft-nitely worked outplan. They state itthis way: "When-ever our people arenot fully employed For the yoke 41

because of lack ofprivate demand for g.ods or servics,,the various governments should offer em-ployment on well matured public activi-ties for furnishing the services and satis-factions which experience shows can bestbe secured through public expenditure."

These business men also subscribe inthis direction to a statement made byMarriner S. Eceles, chairman of the boardof governors of the Federal Reserve Syrs-tem. Mr. Eccles declared in a recentaddress: "The government's field, itseems to me, is broadly this: As deflationstarts, as evidenced by unemployment,it is in the interests of all of us that theunemployment problem be met; whenprivate business cannot profitably employpeople, and therefore lays them off, itseems to me that we must be willingto have them employed or socially bene-ficial public work by a public body, andthus stop the process of deflation in itsinception. The cost is relatively small.In fact, it is negligible if action is takenbefore the national income is permittedto diminish greatly."

AN ENGINEEI'S JOB

This book is not for popular eonsump-tion. It is an engineer's job covering awide scope of knowledge and scamnningevery aspect of the problem of uiem-ployment. It is not theoretical, however,iut presses prctl&alplplan%. It is dividedinto three parts. Part I deals, as thebook itself says, with the proposal forfluctuating government activity and ex-penditures. It defends in this first see-tion the above thesis that the govern-ment must provide work when privateindustry lags, and argues that with aright choice of projects for thee ,xtraexpenditures, private industry would behelped and not hindered.

The second part of the work goes intothe important question of how such gov-ernment projects can be financed. It dis-

such as these, America neiil rolve the prohWblln of

cusses bank credit. It discus.es the dlan-gets of governmenntal borrowing and ex-penditure with suggestions on how toavoid them. It arrives at the conclusionthat the budget can be so dovetailed withtax policies that each can help the otherwithout detrimental effect.

The third section of the book deals withthe vexed question of taxation. It weighstaxation methods in respect to their ad-vancement or retardation of employment.It makes this startling assertion at thispoint: "The continuous and dynamic flowof income is pictured as divided into onepart which is spent at once on goods forconsumption aid another part which isreserved fionl consumption or esaved'and is destined, therefore, sooner or laterto be spent for produelrs' goods. In onesense the consumption stream turns themill wheels while the inivestment streamfurnishes more wheels to be turned.About $2 of our tax collections are foundto cOhne fIrnu the consumption stream to$1 from the reserved stream. This, it isargued, is too heavily weighted againstconsumption, and proposals are made forprogre sive changes."

The hook ends by proposing a federalstate tax commission in order to untanglethe maze of taxation developed under ourfederal, state and local levies. We cannotstress too much the fact that this book%s ihtiedod' as a practical guide to a con-struetive cure of the unemployment evil.

To illustrate what a progressive policythese business men are taking, we hastento point out that they advocate that gov-erlment cmnllployment should not pay lessthan the prevailing wage. They state:

"Direct government employment shouldalways be at the going rates of wages forthe locality. There should be no employ-ment of people in need at less than thegoing rate on the ground that the govern-ment employment is a form of dole forwhich some work should be given in re-

turn. The workshould be useful, theworkers should berequired to give goodservic, and in Cre-turn they should receivw the eustoulrypay. Employmentunder the supple-mentary budgetmust be managed soas not to depresswage rates. On theother hand, whensupplementary bud-get work is let out toprivate contractors,the terms of the con-tract should make no

,slei.fications in re-gard to rates of payor conditions of workother than that theymust iformll, to anygeneral laws that

bete ansregulate conditionsof employment."

Early in their dis-ccussion thesy buht-

. yte e~pss men make an

,illen,"'lT~ploy l interesting distinc-tion - a distinction

between busit.ess and speculation. Theycontend that business chiefly has to dowith the production and distribution ofgoods. They say that there is a groupof activities that are "parasitical on truebusiness." These are described as "Theyinclude such operations as, in general,are directed toward the realizing offuture profifts in the present, particu-larly when those profits are fallaciousand misrelpresented, or when the wholesituation has been built up to a generalhysteria of optimism. In short, themechanism of the recurring boom,whether in real estate, commodities orseurites, is not business in our sense.Similarly the process by which insideofficials profit from the buying and sellingof securities of their own companies onthe basis of inside infonnrmation is nutbusiress."

It is impossible to review this bookadequately because it is a statement ofprojects. However, we have indicatedits liberal character and its true valuein trying to think through the difficultproblem of unemployment. We think itis a landmark in the history of businessliterature. It indicates what true servicesound business men can perform for therepublic. Our only hope is that more ofthe liberal business men will collaboratewith each other toward bringing their ex-perience, their teehnical kniowledge andtheir sound judgment to bear on thesocial problems of our day.

I think it rather fins. this npresaity forthe tense bracing of the will before any-thing worth doing can ho done. I ratherlike it myself, I feel it is to be the chiefthing that difflterentiates me fronm the catby the fire.

Friendhip is the highest degree . f prl-feetiail in siciety.

Amateur Radio Breaks Into MoviesBOY, page all the amateur radio fans!At last, they have broken into the

movies. The current film, "LoveFinds Andy Hardy," dramatically usesamateur radio as a part of the story andaction. As far as we know this is thefirst time that Americans in general havebeen made to understand the thrill andimnportance of amateur radio.

Fortunate it is for amateur radio fansthat this particular picture which gives

"Love Finds Andy Hardy,"popular current film pays tributeto the great throng of aftlcr-darkprivate broadcasters.

Mickey Roooy's mother (Fay Painter)has beenl calld ton Canada where her

.mother. 3ickey's grandmother, is ser-

ously ill. The grandmother lives on aremote farm which cannot be reachedconveniently by telephone or telegraph.On Christmas Eve, the Hardy family isnot only lonesome, lut also a good dealconcerned about the absence of themother. Mickey gets the idea that hismother might be helped if they could com-municato with her. He persiades his

father to go to an old bar, where one ofMickey's boy friends has an amateurradio outfit. There ensues an expositionof tile whole workings of anmteur radio.The audience sees the set; they hear thecall letters; they await breathlessly forthe return of the call, and finally, deep inthe night contact is made with anotheramateur radio man at the farm inCanada. The message is given; there isanother interim of waiting, ani then, themessage is returned giving the Hardyfamily the assurance that things are bet-ter in the far away household. A climaxis reached when tile Canadian radio manreveals he is 12 years old. He describeshow he walked across the fields to thebackdoor of Mickey's grandmother'shouse, and delivered the message.

WILL DELIGHT AIR FRATERNITY

No one can doubt that the Americanpeople thus inducted into the mysteriesof amateur radio will hae a warm feel-ing for this branch of the radio industry.The hundreds of electrical workers whobelong to the Fraternity of the Air andwho themselves sive the public I.i. theirown pleasure in the pursuit of their hobbywill take delight in this particularincident.

this boost to their art is now the leadingcurrent film. The radio f.ans who alsofollow the movies will recall .that "LoveFinds Aniy Tih .rdy," is one of a Ielis offilms dealinlr with family life in America.This, we ibeiv. is the fourth episode.

The story is huilt around the family ofJudge Hardy and deals with the homelydaily events in the life of a judge, hiswife, and his children. This particularfilm has gole over with a bang, much tothe surprise, we are told, of the makersthemselves. They created the film merelyas one in the series, expecting it to carryon the story of the Hardy family but ithas done nmore than that and has playedto packed houses week after week inAmerican cities. This is due perhaps tothe over-stressed play-acting of MickeyRooney as A boy who is caught in thethroes of young love. Perhaps there is aturn of burlesque to this comic tragedy,but nevertheless it is very hunran stuff,plaintive and laughable at the same time.

DRAMA IN RADIO MESSAGE

Moreover, the incident that deals withamateur radio perhaps gives a new fillipto the public interest. At any rate, it isone of the thrilling incidents in the play.

Electric Wiring For ModeratePriced Homes and Rural

InstallationsBy G. A. JOAHiSON

A house-owner, ordinarily not thor-oughly informed on the subject ofelectric wiring, and having in mindthe installation of a wiring system, be-comes confronted with the necessity formaking decisions as to the types of ma-terials to be used.

The primary thought in his mind is,naturally, the item of cost.

If he consults an electrical contractorhe will be told that he has the choiceof several types of materials rangingfrom the most expensive to the cheapest.

If he goes further than this, and con-sults with engineers and fire preventioninspectors, he will learn also that thecheapest first cost will not prove to bethe most economical over a period ofyears nor the safest where lives and prop-erty are considered.

As one authority says, the owner can-not afford to quibble over a possible sav-ing in cost amounting approximately tothe price of a couple of gallons of paint,when it is considered that a good wiringjob will last the life of the buildingwhereas the paint job may last onlyabout four years.

Nor is it necessary to install the mostexpensive first-cost materials, out of pro-portion to the total cost of the house.

There are two most commonly usedtypes of material for the class installa-tion; and this present discussion concernsthe comparative merits of these twotypes of material.

It is well to first briefly review thedevelopment of house-wiring.

In the first days of electricity in thehome, the demands on the electrical sys-tem were extremely limited, comparedwith the usage of today. Current suffi-cient for only a few lights was all thatwas required, and scarcely any regula-tion or supervision of materials, ormethods of installation, was considerednoessary.

As the use of electrical correit in thehore increased, however, eLndI norelights were installed, some attention was

then given to the improvere lt uof nia-terials and methods.

It is more than 50 years since therewas first manufactured, and used, anassembly of two insulated wires boundtogether with cotton braids, so that thetwo wires could be installed with ap-proximately the same ease and cost asone wire.

After a few years experience with thiscotton-covered assembly, and after muchengineering research, there was devel-oped a steel-armored assembly of wirewhich was accepted as a distinct improve-ment over other materials.

This steel-armored cable gained im-mensc popularity, and installations of itmade 30 or 40 years ago are still func-tioning satisfactorily and safely wherethe buildings in which it was installedare still in use.

This cable affords protection to thewires from mechanical injury, as well asfrom rats; and, to some extent, protec-tion against deterioration caused by theweather.

A few years ago, particularly duringthe speculative building era, there waspresented to the public another cotton-covered assembly of wires whose chiefclaim to acceptance was the lower firstcost.

N B F O Punphie N. 'e

Because specu.ltive builders do notconsider maintenance .cots. nor replacs-ment costs due to the need for increasedcapacity of the electrical system, thiseheaper type material gained consider-able ground at the expense of the triedand tested steel-armored cable.

ANOTHER CHEAP TYPE

Also, within the past two or threeyears, there was offered still another,cheaper type assembly, under the nameof "trial installation cable"'; and thie in-spection authorities. under pressure ofthe economic conditions generally pre-vailing, gave their approval to trial in-stallations of this material under closelysupervised conditions.

Hlowever, within the past few months,the nationally recognized Underwriters'Laboratories, whose seal of approval isthe commonly accepted standard of thewiring industry, has eliminated thisnewer and cheaper type material fromits published list of inspected and ap-proved materials,

Also, the other non-metallic type as-sembly, known in the industry as "non-metallic sheathed cable," in numeroustests has been destroyed or so injuredby rats that, in spite of its lower firstcost it constitutes a definite menace tolife and property.

Public health authorities assert thatthere is one rat for every person in theUnited States. Rats carry diseases ofmany sorts, and have been known tospread the dreaded boof-and-mouth dis-ease amongst cattle through the licethat are always prevalent on rats.

Even when not hungry, rats seem to beimpelled by an inherent trait to sharpentheir teeth on whatever is available; andunprotected wires offer ideal material forthis purpose. And although some manu-facturers of this type material have in-corporated in the assembly what wasintended to be a rat-repellant, it doesnot repair the injury to the wires eventhough it may kill the rat that eats it.

The principal supporters of thischeaper, non-metallic type cable are cer-tain electrical utility officials whose soleaimn is to promote the sale of electricityby making the first cost of installationsso low as to constitute a bait to theuninformned, without regard to early re-plnaeenent costs.

It has been shown that a redaction inelectric rates of only one-fourteenth of a

cent per kilowatt-hour, spread over afraction of the life of a building, willmore than compensate for the differencein cost between these two types ofmaterial.

The question has sometimes beenraised as to the possibility of securinga satisfaeiory ground" where steel-armored cable is used on farm installa-tins. However, it should be rememberedthat federal lending agencies requirelightning rods on arm, buildings, and iti as simple to "ground"' an electrical

sands of local union members who areinterested in developing new fields ofwork for our Brotherhood. In particu-lar, I am going to discuss the neon light-ing question as of particular interest atthis moment.

Our organization prevails in the neonlighting branch of the industry. We pre-vail in this field because it is purelyelectrical work and because we have theskilled men capable of doing this work.Less than two years ago the Brotherhoodset up a special school at Osceola, Fla.,where courses were given by our onlexperts to selected members from locialunions throughout the country for thepurpose of promoting scientific knowledgeand keeping our members abreast oftechnicale developments. The New Yorklocal union has its own school for tubebenders on the sixth floor of its largelocal union headquarters. A school hasalso been established in St. Louis. Balti-more and other local unions set up schoolsof instruction.

I have delegated two welL-trainedtechnicians to handle this work on aninternational basis for the Brotherhood.These Ilel are Ted Weyn and 0. A.Reiman. Our superiority in this impor-tant field rests upon the fact that neonlighting is a branch of electrical science,and that the completed electric sign isnothing more nor less than an electricalfixtulre and falls properly into the sphereof electmcal work familiar to the skilledcraftsmen that make up our organization.

SO-CALLED TRADES SCHOOLS

The aenbers must, of course, differen-tiate between the foregoing clearly illus-trated purpose of our own school andthe fictitious accomplishment of the so-called trades schools. Private tradesschools have sprung up making extrava-gant claims for their training of tubebenders. Every commoin-sensed individ-ual knows that in the construction orIroductioi branches of the electrical tradeno one is employed by the employer ex-cept for a profit reason and no profitscan be earned through the employment ofworkers lacking practical experience.Likewise sensible people understand thatpractical experince in no branch of theelectrical trade can be acquired in schools.It must be learned on the job under theapprentieship system. Neverthelessthese private schools assert that they cangive good practical trailning to their stu-dents ani in this monaner these privatetrades schords make a Ierernary appealby claiming they call plae these neo-[phyte tube benders in good jobs alterthey have completed their courses. Suchessential iin. mercenm y appeal by pri-vate trades schools simply constitutesbunkum. Our own schools have for a

90 per cent of suec} work performed byunion men. The remaining 10 per centof this work that is perfonned by unionmen of other trades represents nothingless than piratical encroachment uponthe rightful earning opportunities of ourmembers. We can bring all this workunder complete control of the I. B. F W.with the full eo-opelation of our localunions ..Our sucess depends entirelyupon the intelligence, diligence and co-operation of local union oficianl and localuniuon n.,mlbors manrrif sLed in detrmh ia-tion to protect their own rights. In thosecities where our local unions ie niotdoing this work we can trace their failureto but one thing-- egligence.

In one ity the nca]i union has foursign shops but refuses to admit to mem-bership tube beding nmembers of theI. B. E. W. for these shop. These tubebending .. emb ers in this partieiIh,' citycarry .cards from nn aldjacnt city andmust re;',n thai iucmuIl,. sip in thatadjacent cil . This simply mean.s. in apractical sense that the second ey .i.ust

furnish labels showing the tube workwas clone by members working in thefirst city's shops.

We find that a great many signs arebeing accepted throughout the countrywith the I. B. E. W. tube bender's labelbut with no label showing the same signswere wired by I. B . W. members. Thisis evidence of total disregard fur fellowmembers' earning opportunities.

Strictly speaking, there are just thesetwo obstacles remaining before theI. B. F. W. has complete control of thiswork. We must not give co-operationto non-union shops and we must not allowhalf-baked tube benders to take our workfrom us. To accomplish this, co-opera-tion between local union members andlocal union offlcials must obtain. Here isa great new field of endeavor for ourmembers. It represeits an innovationin electrical display-4ne which is des-tined to he developed highly. It repre-sents a new method of interior and ex-terior illumination What is done in thisparticular field not only means more jobsfor our members but means also greatermorale on the part of our organization.

ELECTRICIANS' WORK

There is no opportunity to question thewell established fact that the manufac-turing of neon tubes, the process ofpumping, of bombardinlg and filling ofsame, the wiring of signs, their erectionand maintenance helong to the electricaltrade. However this work will be stolenfrom the electrical trade if our men arenot on the job with skill and with intelli-gence; capability of doing the work anddetermination to control this field.

There are obviously unfair non-unionshops in the United States still adheringto the old policy If capitalizing on thedifferential in wages represented by thedifference between wages paid in unionshops and wages paid in their own non-union establishments. These shops areresorting to various and diverse methodswhich can only be considered unfair byany sound mind infuimnced by a conceptof justice. As a point in illustration Irefer to numerous instances co.ing toour attention where signs manufacturedeither in whole or in part under non-union conditions have carried labels in-tended to signify they are made underunion conditions and to indicate thatunion wages were paid to those employedin thn manufacture. The success of suchcomnpanies is possible not because oftheir brilliance of performance hot be-eause in too many hirtan.es our loelunion mrembers and ofiicers have beenindifferent to tihe siuation.

Analysis of Evidence Before Dies CommitteeBy THE PHILOSOPHER

Evidence--That by means of hich allallegation in a cause is proved or dis-proved, or a faclt established or soughtto be estahlieli, including both the oraltestimony. obserration and thought, orfrom authority of testimony.-Webster.

Eidence-Any knowable fact or groupof facts. not a legal or logical principle.considered with a view to its being of-fered before a legal tribunal for thepurpose of producing a persuasion, posi-tive or negative, on the part of thetribunal, as to the truth of a proposition,not of law Ir logic, on which the deter-mination of the tribunal is to be asked.-Wigmore.

be some show-down on the communistsansue in this country. ULp to date the

major answers of communists and com-munist sympathizers to the investigationby the Congressional committee havebeen of two kinds:

1.Mr. Dies, the chairman, isdemagogue.

2. The committee is red-baiting.Neither of these retorts in any way

affects the facts that have beenpresented to the committee.The committee has been or-ganized as a committee of Con-grss lunder the usual tradi-tional proedure. If it is truethat Mr. Dies is a partisandemagogue, this in no way af-feels the evidence that has beenlaid before the committee. Nordoes the demagogie cry "red-baiting" answer anything. Ifone analyzes the tactics in-volved in the shout, "redbaiter," it must be regardedmerely as a defensive mecha-nism designed to make sacro-sanct all reds. Under a denoe-racy if there is a considerablered movement in the UnitedStates, it must be scanned andexamined and criticised just asmuch as a conservative orTory movement or iu KluxKlan movement. It cannotescape responsibility for itsacts or its philosophies anymore than can the Daughtrs,of the American Revoliution.Those who are seeking toescape public examination ofcommunist theories, ideologiesand procedures by use ofsophistry are doing democracya disservice.

FACTS EMERGEScanning the testimony pre-

sented to the Dies committeeby the principal witnesses thefollowing primary factsappear:

Clever retorts and personal at-tack on chairman do not erasecertain definite facts.

1. American clmunlnists work secre-tively through dinimy organizations.

2. American communists hold key posi-tions in C. I. 0. unions.

3. Americanl communists are heavilyfinanced froml some source.

4. America,, communists are in closetouch with Moscow.

This is the testimony ef all the wit-nesses that spoke on Communism beforethe Dies committee. What makes thistestimony sound and worthy of being re-garded as evidence is the fact that ittallies with the common knowledge r t.hegreat mass of American people and alsotallies with thle experience of laborunionists in other countries.

Close to these facts hang certain aux-iliary propositions as follows:

1. Though they have never been electedas communists, communist representa-tives sit in the American Congress.

LANDMARK OF LIBERTYBunler Hill Muonumoet

2. Though they have never declaredthemselves as ouis, communistshold key positions in governmentagencies.

3. Communists declare for democracybut their whole procedure and philosophyis anti-democratic.

The testimony that attracted most at-tention was that of James B. Matthews,of Washington, N. J., former presidentof the American League Against Warand Fascism . Mr. Matthews was anemployee of the ComniurtisL Party for fiveyears. lie will be remembered by someelectrical workers for an attack he madewhen he was a communist upon officialsof the International Brotherhood of Elec-trical Workers. Mr. Matthews appearedbefore the committee as a disillusionedcommunist. He said he~had joined theparty as an idealist because he wanted tohelp workers and he found that therewere more faults among the communiststhan there were among the conservatives.His testimony was not rash testimony.Hiere are some excerpts from Mr. Mat-thews' testimony:

"The Communist Party has no interestin peace, job security or civil liberties asthose things are understood. They are

the temporary ideas and idealswhich the Communist Partyutilizes for its objective ofbringing about class war, al-most universal insecurity, andthe complete abolition of civilliberties." ....

"The principle which is un-alterable in Communism is thatviolence, in which communiststake the offensive against thebourgeoisie, is necessary forthe setting up of the dictator-ship of the proletariat."....

"When these were insufficient, mo1ney was borrowed onnotes signed by Corliss La-mont, and finally, in a pinch,we got Browder on the tele-phone and had him send overcash from the party chest,which was regularly stockedfrom Moscow." ....

"It was recotnizel at theoutset and at all times sub-sequently that only so-calledimperialist war was to be np-posed by members of the Amer-ican League as scht Otherkinds of war were a h!issible'

To seasoned trade unionistsall of this is not new stuff.Trade unionists are fanliarwith the communist stooge whoarises in trade union meetingsunder one guise or anotherand speaks in behalf of theStalin government in Russia.

But the whole testimony be-fore the Dies committee bringsthe eonmmunist issue to the

British Labor on Communist TacticsWhere democracis atre strong, Com-

Implr-tant, therefore, is it to ,can closely themanifesro of the British Labour Palt,on "Rl'ishW Labour and Commu,,nism."This is taken frem the reoit otf theThirty-s;tih AnnOll Con/f ece of liheLabour Par ty:

OR nilearly 20 yealrs the campaign toaukbert the British labour movementto ComCmunism has been purseod.

Methods have varied, tactics have devi-ated, but fundamlental communist purposehas remained unchanged.

The Communist Party's desire to fed-elate with democratic labour has beenpressed time and again, despite its con-sistent and reiterated belief in tile use-lessness of demnoratic effort. The Com-mnunist Party's clim to co-operate withBritish labour in its dem.ocratic work isinvalidated by its demand for liberty topursue its own revolutionary purpose asdictated by the Communist International,a body incapable of appreciating Britishcondition, iritish temperament, andBritish traditions.

Throughout the wvhole period the Brit-ish labour movmnt has been subjetedto one long stream of invective .and viii-lieation by the communist press subsidisedby Russian money. Expenditure has beenlavished, in the early days on tile "Com-munist," ill the middle years on the "Sunday Worker" and latterly on the "DailyWorker," to sow disruption in the ranksof the workers in order to destroy thetrade unions and the Labour Party.

The labour movem ent has been reviledas "a pillar of the capitalist system." Its"reformisA" methods have been scorn-

fully derided, and its achievements insteadily and progressively improving thestandard of life of the people have beendenouned. as being calculated to makethe workler reconciled to capitalism. Everyeffort has been maeic to undermine theconfidene of the workers in their Ilad-ers, whose integrity has been attacked bya venomous campaign of slander andabuse. It is with these "reformists""capitalist lackeys,' "traitors" "'pillarsof capitalism," and "social fascists" thatthe communists njow wish to colbine!Why?

After ail these years of subsidlsed ef-fort to convert British labour to corn-nrunist belief, the membership of theCommunist Party in this country wasreported to the Colm/munist Intorllfionalin 1935 as being about 7,000.

It is tiis abject failire to secure asubstantial membership that has dictatedthe more subtle tactics of the 'unitedfront."

This insidious method has bein pro-nioted in almost countless ways, as sug-gestion after suggestion, direction after

It was ssentiali that newtactics shouli lie adopter].

The new tactics provide that tile entirecollinnunist memb ership within a givenindustry niut be nobilised in a commu-nist fraction, in factory cells. and intrade union branch groups. All these areto be in contact as individuals with con-

un.mist group leadership--locally, region-ally, and nationally so that in every phase

of communist activity in the trade unionscentral responsibility for leadership willbe determined by the leading organs ofthe Communist Party.

This new militant process, like theMinority Movement, is obviously designedto achieve the same disruptive cmnlmnistllids.

STRIKES FOMENTED

Trade unions cannot enter into collec-tive bargaining without accepting re-sponsibility for carrying out their agree-nents. On numerouls oecasions. however,ihe executives of unions have been faced

with unofficial strikes, deliberately 0o-nirnted by communists and directed notso much against the employers as againstexecutive authority anid the unions them-selves. When the mischief has been doneand men have beon victi.nised. the com-munists have promptly deserted them,leaving the trade unions to deal with thedifieult situation created by their per-nicious intervention in union affairs.

The communist device most favouredduring recent years has been thein il ationof subsidiary organis tin, ostensiblywith the object of roneenratilg mpubicattention and socialist aind progressiiveopinion upon specfie aspects of currentpolitics.

Way to Lasting Industrial PeaceBy L. K. COMSTOCK

Mr. L. K. Comstock is chairman of theCouncil on Industrial Relations for theElectrixcal C(nestrction Industry, He iswidely known as a promilnant leader inthe field of union managemet relations.,As a contractor he had long-time 'ea-tions with the internationul Brotherhoodof Electrical Worke,a. lie has installedelectrical equipment in many of the iarg-esat buildings in New York City, Chicago,Canada and other localities. He was amember of the War Industries Board.What Mr. Comstock has to say at an,time on the important subject of indus-trial relations is listened to with respect.This statement was given to the summersession of the Replblicen 'rogr*rn cor-mittee, bat it is not primarly rolitical inits direction.

N discussing this problem of labor, itis no longer necessary to remind anaudience that the question of labor

relations arising out of employment isthe oldest continuing question before thepeoples of the world. It is so importantthat its claims to our attention transcendpolitics and political parties and what Ishall have to say will he completely un-colored by any partisan considerations.The question is the most important be-fore the American people today and it isa privilege to appear here tonight withMr. Woll in search of a way of industriallife which may hold the hope of puttingthese relationships on a more satisfac-tory basis,

Throughout the ages labor has passedthrough many stages of evolution, ad-vancing from slavery through successivestages of what Professor Perliman* hascalled suppression, grudging toleration,benevolent toleration and finally to thestage of promotion where the movementhas acquired enormous power and whereits leaders meet in government councilson an equal plane with those of capitaland industry.

Labor has rightly improved its eco-nomic condition, but its methods havesomehow involved enormous cost both toitself and society. Today we find ourindustrial relations in a state of turmoil,destructive of peace, a brake on economicadvancement. The industrial evolutionand the concurrent growth of labor unionshave changed the nature of the problem;they have not given us a solution. Fail-ure to achieve a settlement has becomea threat to our national economy. Mostof our attempted solutions have beenbased on the theory that there was anecessary conflict between capital andlabor. Thelv Liave been two warringcamps. Labor has assumed that the onlymotive of the industrialist was maxinumprofits for himself. There have beencapitalists, selfish and shortsightedenough to believe that there was profitin the oppression of labor. This concep-tion and these attitudes have placed the

attempted settleme nt of the industrialproblem on a pidn, of strife. Labor.adopted the strike. which is nothing less

than a frlsn of wlrfare. Managementused the lock-out, which is reciprocationin kind. Reaching a somewhat higherplane, we occasionally tried arbitrationwith limited success Quite recently, wehave reached a stage where many seemto believe that this age-old problem canbe settled by legislation. All of thesemethods have failed because they arebased on a fundamental misconceptionof the true relationship existing ill theindustrial field. They have failed torecognize that the interests of labor andmanagement, instead of being divergent,are common. Common interests indicatethe necessity for an entirely differentmethod of approach; yet the old methodscontinue to be used at heart-breakingcost to capital, labor and society. Wemust clear away those psychological in-tangibles that enwrap the visible facts.

HIGH COST OF STRIKES

Let us consider the cost of strikes.Like other forms of warfare, strikes levytheir toll not only on the participants andon those against whom they are directed,but on the entire public. They are anancient method of procdure. Dr. Groatin his study of organized labor in Amer-ica records that the strike is older, infact, than labor organization itself. Thefirst strike in the United States, of whichrecord has been discovered, occurred in1741. For the next century and a quar-ter they were not a great factor in oureconomic life, but in the seventies seriousdisturbances began to occur and sincethen they have been increasing in de-structive tendencies and in magnitude.The Labor Information Bulletin, pub-lished by the Department of Labor, is re-sponsible for the statement that tmorestrikes occurred in 1937 than in anyother year in the history of the UnitedStates. More workers were involved inthese strikes than in any other year since1919 and more man-days of idleness re-suited than in any year since 1927-theearliest year for which information onman-days is available. There were 28,-425,000 days of idleness brought aboutby these industrial controversies. Manyattribute the 1937 epidemic to the Na-tional Labor Relations law which wassigned by the President on July 6, 1935,and was declared constitutional on April12, 1937.

Whatever the cause, it doesn't alterthe fact that these strikes in 1937 tooka toll which was undoubted]y in excess

of the benefits derived therefrom. Con-sidering alone the series of strikes whichtook place in the automotive industry ina period of five months beginning latein 1936, statisticians studying this in-dustry estimated the total cost to theworkers between $65,000,000 and $70,-000,000. The net volume of businessdelayed during the controversies was es-timated at $200,000,000, not all of whichcould by any means be recouped. Thecost of one steel strike was estimated at$5,000,000 to the company. There is an-other estimate which seems to be theresult of research which indicates thatthe rank and file of workers in the na-tion's strike-ton industries lost morethan $82,000,000 in the first six monthsof 1937, hIad all of these strikes re-suited in increases in pay for the work-ers involved, it might be argued that,from the standpoint of the workers, thbegains over a period of time might besufficient to offset the losses, but about58 per cent of the strikes of 1937 werenot principally concerned with wages andhours, but with union organization issues.Nearly 60 per cent of tile total workersinvolved were in these union-organizationdisputes. Wages anl hours were majorissues in only about 30 per cent of thestrikes. When the record was finallymade up it was disclosed that less thanhalf of these industrial battles resultedin "substantial gain" to the workers. Infact, out of the 1,900,000 workers in-volved in the strikes ended in 1937, onlyabout 900,000 made what the Bureauof Labor Statistics calls "substantialgains."t It is impossible to make evena reasonable estimate of the total costsof these controversies, but it must be re-membered that in computing the indirectlosses we must multiply tany times, thedirect losses to laborers and manlfc.-turers. No strike but takes its toll ofevery retail merchant in the town . . .eventually it is extended to the trans-portation industry, to the wholesaletrade, to those who supply the raw ma-terials and to other manufacturing plantsdepenlent upon those directly affected.

STRIKES AND DEPRESSIONS

It may well be asked to what extentthe strike epidemic of 1037 was the fusewhich touched off the new depression.There is a noteworthy synchronizationof the period of greatest strike activityand the beginning of the new depression.The period of greatest strike activitylasted from March until September. Onthe basis of man-days lost per month,the 1937 strikes reached thcir culmina-tion in June, when there were nearly5.00.0,00 days of enforced idleness. Atthat point recession set in. Our progressto what we hoped was new prosperity,as measured by industrial employmentand pay rolls, reached a culmination in

NYW, 1937. The falling off. whichbecame very rapill by the followingNovembelr, began in June, theperiod of greatest strike activity.The indices took a turn upward inAugust, and then began to dropagain. Certainly the loss of buy-ing power which resulted from theidleness, and the concomitant lossesto stockholders and allied indus-tries, were a eonsiderable factor inreducing the Iemand for goods andthus slowing down our entire in,dustrial machine. The facts con-stitlte a severe indictment of thelabor relahi 0 system, which forredthis slow-down at a time when wewere just roeging Inronl the worstdelpession iii our history.

We come now to the questien oflegislation. Legislative attempts todeal wvith till problem are olderthan the str ile itself. In 1350, jar-ing the reign of Edward IIi, theBritish Parlimnent enacted a SOriesof laws in which matters of wagesanid hours were dealt with. Aperedent nfor sut present watisand hours act is fould in the Stati'te of abocrrs passed in 15(3 bywhieh the British Parliamen o-feared ipoen justices of the peace ileach locality the power to fix wages.So far as this country is concerned,hollever, the ilea of settling thisproblem through legislation is tiia-tively reenIt . The first federalstatute affecting the rights of laborwas the Sherman Anti-T.rut Act,1890, which, as interpreted by thecourts, was distinctly lhostile to la-bor in its effIcts. It was not until For1914 that labor, in the Clayton Act,obtained what was hailed as its"'Bill of Rights," only to be disappointedagain in the results, because of court in-teilpretation. Moo recently, we have seenevidence of a disposition to attempt touee alll the evils by legislation anid thebureaucratic process. Many of our peo

pie have conic to put a great trust inlegislative fiat and persist in ignoring

the fact that government dictum cannotchange econoiic law. This fact has longbeen recognized by some of the moreforward-looking labor leaders. The lateSamuel (Go.mpers. then president of theAmerican Federa.tion of Labor, said:

"The stipulation of industrial rela-tios by law does not result in industrialfleedom. It only restates all industrialpl'oblels ii terms of political issues. Itsubstitutes a political boss for anl indus-trial employer * * . industrial free-dom can li achieved only whei workersparticipate itn determnining their ownhours wages and c.nditiion s of work * 'If the workers surrender control overworking relations to legislative and a*d-ninistiative agents,. they put their indus-trial libertly ait till disposal of stateagenits.''

BUREAUCRACY'S LUST FOR POWER

The trouble is that once we have placedthis matter in the hands of government.employer and enmployee have lost controlof their own destinies. Government,being what it is, frequently covets con-trol for itself. "It is the rare governl-mental promoter of collective.bargainingwho will resist the temptation to try toimpose his own views of what is rationaland good for the labor movement/" rightlydeclares Professor Perlman. Governmentregulation promotes discontent. When itis attempted to regulate labor relation-ships by law, each party to the bargainis inclined to stand. on his legal ights,to give no ground, to nmpromnise not atall, anl to throw co-operat aton away.

..m.an .i atuh is like that. When andif a bargain is struck, oin side or theother perhaps both f)els a Selse of

,loss, of defeat, and the real objective ispushed further into the future.

The thought of regimentation is obnoxious to those who hold Aniericai con-cepts vet each new power that is placedin a governmemt board for the controlof industrial relltions is a step towardregionltnlltion. t fovernenti offiills aregreedy of power and are apt to se'k con-rstant .nhan.e.Qinnt of thii r functions.The power to fix it iniiniumm wage impliesthe right to fix a mlaxinmulm wge. Iflabor and manragement are wise they

will unite against some restrictionsalready in the law and any furtherlegislative encroachment on theirlibertes, and any legislation whichattempts to substitute governmentcontrol for their own determinationof their mutual affairs.

We have seei the maximum ofgovervinent interference in Italy,Germany and Russia. Labor in theUnited States must guard againststeps which e.ve point in that di-rection-for I again quote fromProfessor Pernman:

"Under a dictatorship, unionismceases to be the true expression ofthile labor group and bcmroes themele creature of an outside power.either a enommnnist intelligentsia ora middle class fascist seun-intelli-gentsia. Under a dictatorship it iswholly iniuaterial wbhether union-isle is ompulsoLy or voluntitary oreven whether it is limited to wageearnirs or aduits employers.Therefore, I.ore.rn od of its fateunder dictatorsip, uiiionism istolday the mailnray of democraey'"

He night also have said con-ve rsely that d.enocracy is the nmain-stay of uioninsm,.

Anothel difficulty with legisla-tive attempts to solve the problemhas been that they have been basedon the old time corneption, previ-ously rleferred to as hostility ofinterest between employer and e,m-ploayer. It has been a question ofplacing one or the othelr in thesaddle, when, as a matter of fact,good economics requires that they

ent shall meet, not as eneneis but asfriends. to decide their commonproblems.

ARBITRATION IMPLIES CONFLICT

Arbitration, while marking a distinctadvance, is still open to the same criti-cism. The very word. arbitration, im-plies conflict. Too frequently there isno thought of calling in the arbitratoruntil blows have been struck, particularindustries have been disrupted, tempershave re.ached the boiling point and con-struetive reasoning by the parties in-volred has become impossible. In pass-in., it might be said that in an industrialcontroversy the task of finding an arbi-trator who is truly impartial is virtuallyan impossible one. Arbitraltion oftenleads to settlement oil the basis of tem-lorary expediency, when what we are

seeking is harmon.ious industrial life,based on irilson and good Mill. Arbitra-tiln is a paIllltive for industrial warfare.It is not i cure.

We come now to a fourth method ofattenpting to deal with this problem.

It is a netb .d a bou.t which I feel I canspeak with some authority, because Ihave sern it tried .uccessfully. It is a,nmethod to which the exeuntive councilof the Amierickan Federation of Laborp.inted list May, whe.i it laid down a setoif principles for voluntary eo-operationbelween labor and management.

This simply means that in 1935 cunem-ployment was rife among our members.There were fewer man-hour exposuresand therefore fewer accidents on theburning wires. In 1936 unenllloymentlessened and aeeclents increased. This isalso true for 1937.

We have been keeping this dismal rec-ord in a formal way since 1922. )uringthat period of 16 years we have seenno lessening in the tell of our membersfrom year to year. The count is con-stant. Because the picture remainsunchanged, and to prove to our read-er the unchanging character of theproblem, we are going to re-publishthe first statement in regard to thisproblem printed fi years ago in theEti.eclRCAL WORKERS' JOURNAl.."To most persons, figures are unin-

teresting stuff. They fail to tell thewarm,m human life stories to whichreaders usually respond. But figuresthat describe the death curve of alarge industrial organization like thatof the electrical workers are different.For every tally put down, there liesbehind it the tale of a father cut oftin his working prime, a family bereftof the companionship and the earningpower of the bread-winner, childrenmade Lto leave school in order to began unfriendly seething business worldfor a living. Such figures cannot beuninteresting, especially to personsmost intimately concerned.

"Such figures give a needed glimpseinto tLie world of industry. During thegreat war we were concerned at thecasualties among American troops-aswe should be-but we do not realizethat industry is a kind of daily war,taking its toll in dead and wounded--even as the opposing guns on the battlefront collect human salvage.

INDUSTRY VS. WAR

"Let us carry this comparison a littlefurther. In 1918, Dr. Eugene LymanFiske, medical director of the Life Exten-sion Institute, made a study of industrialaccidents. Dr. Fiske fixed the total in-dustrial accidents for that year at 21,356lives. In that same year, with all theorganized weapons of human slaughteramassed against our armies, the UnitedStates lost 107,284 lives from all causes.

"Louis I. Dublin, statistician, Metro-politan Life Insurance Company, hasrecently announced results of an extendedstudy of deaths among industrial work-l-

rm. He discovered that offic workers,holders of white collar jobs, those faraway from high tension wires, minedamp, whirling wheels, and whitehotfurnace live eight years longer titan thetoilers in factory, mine and load. Mr.Dublin says:

The year 1937 proves the ratule!With employment, casualties leapupward again.

" 'The handlicap of eight years in theexpectation of life is in the nature of atax which millions of men who are en-gaged in industry pay under presentconditions. It is a measurable and avery real burden which might readily be

N~

HAZARDOUS TRADES

"Eletrical workers do not escape theirshare of this life-blood tax. Indeed it isa safe conclusion that our trade is themost ha.ardous above the ground occu-pation in the world. The difficulty is thatstatistics ae seagre and so umeliable.Few agencis haye interested themselvesin ascertaiilgi flip nulmbcr of the livesoffelle up every ytar to the great andinhuman God of (Ctlml.lerce. And figuresare dleceiving. We venture to assert thatdeaths of electrical workers by eleetro-

/lition are greatly underestimated. Itis to the interest of employers, whothink more of profits than they do ofhuman lives, to hush up the news of alineman bumped off doing duty. TheIntetrnational Offlee has reeatly hadoccasion to compare its own deathfigures with those of another agency,.andl it found that its death rate byaccident was more than double of thatof the published authority. The figuresof the International Office are inthe main trustworthy. They indicatea high and mounting death rateby electrocution, tuberculosis andpneumonia."

expected fron. the very nature of indus-trial employment and the mode of lifeof workers. This is, however, not theonly tax which they pay. Possibly moreimportant, but unfortunately less easilymeasured, is the tax of illness and ofdisability which is laid upon men inindustrial pursuits.'

"Mr. Dublin goes on to say tha--"'The economic pressure is powerful

enough to keep men on the job aftercommon sense and medical judgmentwould suggest a vacation or even periodsof medical attention in hospitals or otherinstitutions.'

"Surely a biting commentary on theravages of low wages!

"Mr. Dublin names tuberculosis, pneu-monia and heart disease as occupationaldiseases. The tuberculosis rate amongindustrial workers is 12 times the ratefor farmers; the pneumonia rate is twicethat for white collar workers: and therate for heart disease is three times ashigh.

Public Opinion Sustains A. F. of L. ChargeN IN ETY-TWO jer cent of the Ameri-N can peoplip bi lh e that the Na-

tional Laboel IRetions Bloard hasbeen partial to the (l 1. 0O. This is nota guess, but the result uf a cross-sectionsurvey made by the American Instituteof Public Opinion under the direction ofDr. George Gallup.

The American Institute of PublicOpinion has been unusually suessful. ingauging the opinion of voters on manyquestions throughout the United States.It has predicted elections accurately.According to the Americatn theory of gov-ern1ment, public opinion speaking throughCongress, is the controlling force. Con-grcss creates policy based on public opinion. and the President executes thatpolicy.

The first sign of the decay of democ-racy, therefore, is in the flouting of p)ub-lie opinion either by Congressmen or byboards set up by Congres. It has beenthe eonLtetoil of thile ELECTRICAL. WoIERS JOURNAL that tile National LaborRelations Board has flouted public opin-ion. In its high-handed policy of inter-preting the National Labor Relations Actas it saw fit, it has gone outside of thelaw and carried on the private, personalopinions of its members.

Until the Gallup poll was announcedrecently, there was no accurate checkupon this position of the ELECTRICAL WORn-IRS JOURNAL,. but now this is definitely

sustained by the Gallup poll.In a national cross-section survey just

completed the institute has found that:(1) The public, particularly voters in

the lower income class, is not well ac-quainted with the activities of the laborboard, and (2) those persons who arefamiliar with its work have an unfavor-able impression of the board, the ma-jority saying that its decisions are unfairto employers andbiaed in favor ofthe C. I. 0.

These results, in-dieating a combina-tion of apathy andopposition, suggestthat the board facesan uphill climb inwinning the public'sconfidence and back-ing. tiowever', evenits critics generallyadmit that theboard's task of deal-ing with rowdy in-dustrial conflicts andjurisdictional fightsbetween unions hasbeen dliftficult fromthe start.

SEVERAL QUES-TIONS ASKED

"In yolr opinion .a.. il-, decisions beenfair to nqdployers?"

The vote was:

Yes ..................... 41No ---------------- 59%

The next question was "As betweenthe C. I. 0. and the A. F, of L., do youthink the board's decisions have been par-ial to one union more than the other?

If so, which union?Nearly seven in every 10 said they

thought the board was partial to onemunion. As to which union, the vote was:

Partial to A. F. of L ... 8%Partial to C. 1. 0.--- 92%,

A preliminary study by the labor boardin the 50 cases where there has been con-tention between craft and industrial unitsshows that in two-thirds the board hasadopted the contention of the A. F. of L.and in one-third the contention of theC. I. O. But present indications are thatthe board's case in this respect has notbeen effectively "sold" to the public.

ATTITUDE ON WAGNER ACT

The public's attitude toward the Wag-ner Labor Act, which the board admin-

islte, was also measurel by the Insti-tute in a recent cross-section survey.This study revealed that a large bodyof voters--,early one-half--had notformed an opinion one way or anotheriabout the Act, and that among the otherhalf who didl have an opinion sentimentfor revisbig or repealing the Act out-weighed sentiment for leaving it un-changed. The actual vote was as follows:

"Do you think the Wagner Labor Actshould be revised, repealed or left un-changed?"

Revise . . ............... 43%Repeal …..... 19%Leave unchanged -------- 38%

New York Labor ActsThe test of a resolution adopted by

New Yori State Federation of Labor:Whereas the American Federationl, of

Labor, convinced that a guarantee of theinviolability of the sacred right of col-lective bargaining would constitute a for-valrd step in the march of organized

labor, lent its active support to the fightwhich rrulidl in the passage of theNational Labor Relations Act; and

Whereas the New York State Federa-tion of Labor continues convinced thatsuch a guarantee, if fairly and equitablyconferred ullon organized labor, wouldhe an incalculable boon; and

Whereas our experience and Countlessoccasions have been that the worthy pur-pose of this law has been perverted by itsadministrators in such fashion that theAct has become injurious, instead ofbeneficial, to the established unions ofthe American Federation of Labor; and

Whereas our experience has specificallyincluded repeated and flagrant ilnslanieSof unwarranted interference by the ad

ministrators of theNational Labor Re-lations Act with truecollective bargainingthrough the estab-lished unions of theAmerican Federa-tion of Labor, evento the extent of at-tempting to breakbona fide contractsbetween AmnericanFederation of Laborunions and employ-ers; and

Whereas in ce,-tain sections it iscommon knowledgethat regional dihrectors of the NationalLabor RelationsBoard have misusedtheir positions oftrust to show con-stant favoritism tothe C. I. 0. and con-aistent prejudiceagainst the Ameni-

Science vs. Passion in Union OrganizationBy FRANCIS O'ROURKE, Business Manager, L UL. No B-1048IX

I WOULD like to call to the attentionof all electrical anti radl workers anartiole by Webb Miller that appeared

in the July 20 issue of the "IndianapolisTimes." Mr. Miller in this article dealswith an interview he had with Mr.Wenner-Gren, noted Swedish industrial-ist and prominent authority on the relItions between capital and labor. Allowme to quote a few of Mr. Wonncr-Gren'sremarks and then analyze them in regardsto our own labor relations.

Mr. Wenner-Gren states, "it seems tosome of us that America's troubles aredue largely to the mutual distrust amongcapital, labor and government." He fur-ther adds, "Swedish industry accepts theunionization of workers as their inalien-able right and even co-operates to helpachieve it sometimes,." In another re-mark he states, "Capital here prefers todeal with strong and responsible unionissomewhat in the same way that it prefersto deal with strong and responsiblebusinesses."

Now, let us look to some of the plantsin our industry in Indianapolis and seehow these quotations apply to our prob-lems. Let us first study the R. C. A.Indianapolis plant, organized a little overa year ago under the jurisdiction of abona fide labor organization, namely, theInternational Brotherhood of ElectricalWorkers, affiliated with theAmerican Federation of Labor,and look at its labor relations.

In this particular plant thereis no distrust, there is mutualco-ope..tion h bcas.se on oneside is one of tbhe largest, mostresponsible industrial corpora-tions in the country, and onthe other a real strong, legiti.mate labor organization thathas been sound and progres-sie in its labor policies forover half a century. The fruitsof this mutual agreement ben-efit the workers in this plantwith good conditions, vaca-tion with pay, beneficial sen-iority rights, wages for theirlabor among the highest in thestate, and to sum all of themup, steady employment that in-creases the workers' averageyearly earnings, All of thisbrought about through honest,sincere and progressive en-deavors, respecting thestrength of both corporationand union, both parties pledgedto uphold the agreement.

BARNSTORMERS TAKEOVER

Now, let us look at the situa-tion in another local plant,namely, P. R. Mallory Co.. Inc.,a company that has had forthe past three or folr vnrsa contract with a local union 1

26 Little The final phase of the long battleColored Gentlemen over the National Electrical Code

may be developing, with the siub-mission of 26 proposed amendments by the EdisonElectric Institute. These amendments look innocentienough, but it is apparent to the simplest layman that,if all were adopted, the National Electrical Code, as ithas existed over the past years, would nio longer exist.The bars would be let down. Types of cheap workwould be permissible. And chials might result.

It is, of course, expected that vigorous opposition tothese emasculating changes will show itself: especiallyamong electrical workers, wier-e jo)b opportunity wouldbe greatly lessened; and in addition among thosegroups, like the inspectors, which have a public inter-est in maintaining high wiring standards.

Nevertheless, the 26 proposed amendments are soclothed in technical guise, that it may be possible toslip many, or all of them over on the electrical com-mittee, which has repeatedly refused membership torepresentatives of the International Brotherhood ofElectrical Workers, and has allowed itself to be turnedinto a political rather than a technical body,

Now is the time for every force interested in main-taining balance, moderation, lid justice in the electri-cal industry to come to full and active defense of theNational Electrical Code. It must be defended beforeit can be improved.

The Public When an American millionaire utteredBe Damned his now famous phrase, "The public be

damned," he did not know that he wasexpressing the un-American way of life. In a democ-racy such as ours, no one call say, "Tom, Dick andHarry be damned," and get away with it. After all,Tom, Dick and Harry have votes; and ballots arebetter than bullets.

The American theory of government is simple. Thepeople make the laws under which they live and act.Through chosen representatives the people governthemselves. Congress is the supreme policy-makingbody. The Supreme Court merely coordinates laws.The President executes them. This makes public

opinion a vital factor in government. Indeed, themost important fIator. In the end, it controls.

Wearisome it is. Iherefore, to record that some gov-ernment departments are in the position of the Ameri-can milliouaire, who said, "The public be damned."'The'y are affrlthilg public opinion. They are saying,"We are the law." We have only to point to theN. L I. B. in its maternal coddling of the C. 1. 0., andits hypJocritical boasting of fairness, to have a case inpoint.

Marching Bufiifalo saw 30,000 trade unioniiists marchlMen enlhusiastically for labor in Auguist. It

was the biggest: parade in lthait city's his-tory, the most colorful, and the moom indicative ofpurplose and intelligent massed force. Why didl thesemen nmrch? Merely as a symbol of the vehementsingle purpose lof the New York Federation of Laborito defend what it has won-unimuzation, democraticprocedure andl liberty. The parade served notice uponall enienisd of labor the Rourbon oil the right and theBourbon on the left-thai, instead of weakening, theAmerican labeor movement is stronger than ever forthe virtues that make it strong: voluntary co-opera-tion, intelligent tactics, sincere democracy, and theever present right steadily to improve the lot ofwage earners.

Those muddleheads who thought the Federation "asa push-over, are now aware, that bona fide trade union-ists have a stake in bona; tide trade unionism thatthey do not propose to surrender.

Bourbon Communists Persons familiar with conm-At Detroit munist ideology and commu-

nist tactics are not surprisedat what has been happening in the United AutomobileWorkers Union. The eourse of that organization, witha few variations. is running true to form. Indeed, thisJOURNAL predicted several months ago that the pres-ent impass6 would be reached.

All protestations to the contrary, the hurrah boysof Stalin do not believe in unionism, as it is known andpracticed in the United States. It is true that thepixies among the liberals--the naive idealists-and thePeter Pans among the economists-are taken in by thetall talk of the Browders and the Frankensteens whenthey hypocritically shout for Americanism and theAmerican way, but good trade unionists are not de-ceived. They have lived too long with the talk-one-way-act-another philosophy of the Bourbon lords ofUnion Square. The truth is a communist neverchanges his skin, only his coat. lie is willing to wearany disguise, including false whiskers, but he is notwilling to forego his lust for power. "Let us control,and we will sing the Star Spangled Banner," declaresEarl. And oh, boy! how he has been singing it during

468

the last three years. He even hits high "f' withoutallowing his falsetto to crack, but to every trade union-ist he is the same old Earl, out to get control of theunions in the name or the political boss in Moscow.

TVAInvestigation

In April the ELECTRICAL WORKERSJOURNAL, made a prediction about theTVA investigation. It said:

"The TVA wvestigation will drag along for severalreonths. Friends of TVA will have an opportunity tolay bare the remarhlblk c aclhiv.ue.snl of this garern-mont ageny. The enemies w ill use the investiralbas a fuleruni for mud-slinging. This .lotivati n ia Ialready been rev.eale1d uiuring the g dbate it theC on'r"."

'"The American peopie mmy expect ,Iore iOf tilskind If ob.scene latesmanshilp from the opponents Ifthe TVA. hut this wili no.t ,/i, the TVA. nor will it.we believe, lessen the regii.ld for it of the eitizells ifthi sewv states ill Ihe Tenussee Valley."

T'he in vestigatio is now drawing to a close. 'Therehas been mudsllnginlg, but not a single allegation hasbeell proved. The charge if "corruption" 'has beeni

But for five monthl s theTVA has been kept ii all uproar, the staffs of all departments have been forced to work overitile oilexita busincss: rou tine bIusiless has been clogged; inshort, the TVA has been made to spend time alndmoney-taxcpayers moneey--in oider to ailow itselfto be a butil: of political manieuveri ng.

Apparent y it is all right to spend taxpayers' monteyon such a jamboree!

On Labor Sixty-five radio stations broadcast theDay story of the American Federation of

Labor onil Labor I)ay. This particularprogram, in the series, THE LABOR PARADE, re-counted dramatically the events of the first LaborDay, with glances illt contemporaneous history. In-dicative of labor's new found power is the use of thisnew found instrument of commttnication, radio.

IPresident Green sent a message to millionls, saying:

"The problems of the coling year challenge labor'sability ill organization and securing roi'reseiil .i..for its views and (xpoCiflmm in the admninistr.'tiv'work of the goverlu..enlt

At the sare time, IlHarol ii. Bulitler, retiring directorof the Interllational aIabour Office, sent this messageto American workers:

Berle One of the astounding phenomena ofTalks Sense this astounding age is the sensation

that Adolph Berie's memorandum oinmonliopIoly created. Mr. Berle, is, or was, AssistantSecrcetarv of State. He is also regarded :s an orig-

lhal rain trustEr, and a simon-pure New Dealer. Beit also remembered that thiere is under way a stldyif monolpoly, under government aegis. Now then.Mr. Berle sent a memorandum to the committee mak-iig S;uch statements as these:

J47wI hlotkANOTHER STEP TOWARD CONSUMER PROTECTION

Vy A WOURKEIS WIFE

HAT makes us women madderW than anything else in our role as

buyer and consumer, is the factthat so many of th2 articles we might buy,both foods and drugs, to take into ourhomes, contain ingredients dangerous tohealth. From letters this department ofthe JotlsNAL has received, we know thatour readers are greatly concerned thatthey may be the innocent bearers ofpoisonous merchandise to their own rmni-lies. The drug stores and the groc.riesare full of attractive wares. Unless theconsumer subscribes to a consumer-infor-mation service and follows it carefully,and buys medicines only on the advice ofa physician, the chances are she is notonly wasting money on worthless or over-priced goods, hut also on dangerous goods,either in cosmetics, trade-marked drugcompounds, healing devices, packagefoods and confections. Even some freshfoods, particularly fruit, may carry poi-sons because of the custom of sprayingthem with arsenate of lead to destroyinsect pests,

One step forward toward protectingthe consumer is the new Federal Food,Drug and Cosmetics Act, which went onthe statute books last June 25. Somesecitas of this Act go into immediateeffect and its results will be visible tothe shopper as new shipments replacethe old merchandise on the merchant'sshelves. Unfortunately, the Act is farfrom complete protection, as it appliesmainly to products sold in interstate com-merce. But with the aid of consumersthemselves, the Food and Drug Adminis-tration may be able to do quite a goodjob of weeding out those dangerous pack-ages so smugly offered,

Immediately effective are the prohibi-tions on drugs dangerous to health whenused as prescribed on thile label; on inju-rious cosmetics (except for the poisonouscoal tar hair dyes, for which a 90 days'grace period was allowed), and on theintroduction of new drugs until theyprove to have been adequately tested.

Other provisions of the law do not gointo effect until June 25, 1939, but manu-facturers will be getting into line beforethat time rather than have large suppliesof forbidden goods when the due datecomes.

Now let's see what classifications ofmerchandise come under the scope of thelaw, and how it affects them:

COSMETICS

Now brought for the first time underfederal regulation. Poisonous cosmetics,

of which there are now many on themarket will be barred frm inte tatetraffic with the exepti on of hair dyescnaining dangrous coal tar co's.These ,,must he labeled plainly, eautioningthe user of their danger. Unfortunately,the law does not require that ingredientsin cosmetirc should be stated nn theirlabels.

DRUGS

Traffic in drugs which are dangerousto health when used as directed ontheir labels, is forbidden; also thosewhose claims are "fale or t isleading inany particular." This is going to act toremove hundreds of patent "'cures" if itis strictly enforced. Drug labels nmustcarry adequate directions for use, andwarnings against use by children oranderother conditions where use may be dan-gerous to health. Narcotic or hypnotic(sleep inducing) substances must be de-clared on the label, together with thename, quantity and percentage of each,with the statement: "Wa,rnng-m ay behabit forming." Standard official drugformulas such as are recognized by phy-sicians needl not carry a declaration oftheir ingredients; but non-official drugsmust give a detailed declaration of theiringredients. Of course, this means thatthe consumer must read the drug labelsand must, if possible, learn somethingabout the drugs themselves to judgewhich are dangerous and which arehelpful.

The law also thought it necessary tospecify that '"antiseptics" must havegerm killing power!

Sale of new drug compounds or prep-arations is prohibited until they havebeen adequately tested and approved; andsuch approval may he withdrawn later ifexperts find one is dangerous for use,after a period of years. Adulterated,misbranded products are taboo, and alsoslack-filled or deceptive containers.

HEALING DEVICES

Now under the same general require-ments as drugs. Height increasers, nosestraighteners, bust developers, nlmechai-cal hair restorers, will have to leavethe field if they cannot make good ontheir claims. It will also be possiblefor the law to proceed against themore dangerous fake devices sold as'cures" for such diseases as diabetes,

goitre, prostate gland trouble and cancer,which not only rob the buyer hut delude

him into a dangerous and possibly fatalpostponement of the proper treatment.

FOODS

Any food injurious to health is hence-forth barred from interstate commerce.Poisonous substances which necessarilynotsL bI added to certain foods aspreservatives will be controlled underthe Department of Agriculture, whichwill define the maximum amounts of samewhich may be loft in the food with safetyto the consumer, Lead and arsenic sprayson fruit and vegetables must be washedoff to a point where the food is safe forconsumption.

Candy is made safer for children. Thelittle metallic trinkets and toys cannotbe put in confectionery any more. The.eit was found were dangerously apt to beswallowed, lodging in the windpipe, lungsor stomach.

An emergency permit control is givento the Secretary of Agriculture, in casethe packing or processing of some typeof food has became so contaminated as tomenace public health. Then the Secre-tary is empowered to set up regulationsfor wholesale production and to issue per-mits only to such manufacturers as obeythe regulations. The Agriculture De-partment will also have authority to setup standards of quality for certain foods

for instance, how much fruit must jamhave in it to be jam? Artificial flavoring.coloring and chemical preservatives infoods must be declared in the labels (ex-cepting the coloring in butter, cheese andice cream) and the colors used must beamong those certified as harmless.

DIETARY FOODS

Special dietary foods sold chiefly forchildren and invalids must carry labelsinforming purchasers exactly what ma-terial and vitamin and other dietary prop-erties they contain.

Naturally many manufacturers of foodsand drugs who had been reaping a harvestthrough their false advertising and claimsfought against the passage of this Act. Ittook five years of work to get it throughCongress and during that time the Actchanged form many times. That it fallsshort of the ideal in many particulars isdue to the fact that every provision in-volved a fresh struggle.

To make the law most effective, con-sumers must do their part by informingthemselves and watching the merchandisethey buy.

The anI l..l picnic of this local was held 0odAugust 6, at Willow lonh f'ark, and was inIitln a]$ier suceea. T his year the heyIfrluui tie local took all the oinjr events fromthe cstltrators. A wona derful time was hadby tilt in attendance as pa rtinug events olt,all uIe hail Ieen arrangnd for by the oin-liittee in charge Prizes of electrical ap-

piiilles were awarded to the winners. motof which were donated by contractors and,eletlmrl supply dealers. A generolu s Sullpyof liruidsl was on hand and plenty of softdrinks and il ce rean1 for thl youungste r Thiltcahtiitee in charge worked hard to produce

iu...ers of No. 5, realize what a beautifulpert of the country they live in. In viath it ix miiuteis ride frori. the Golden Tri-angle it is possible to view scenery that anylover of nature would be willing t traveliany .Eiles to see. W tooded hills and phas-

ant valleys unroll Is you roll up an.d iownLLthe ihillg roads. It is even possille to

look at beautiful scenery from your ownIa..k pto-eh, and the view from the observa-

tory is well worth ,any..u.. time getinthere, So, if any of you Brothers are lIok-i il er a place to go this fill it will be worthyour while to investigateil the country in theviemnity of Pittsburigh.

At thia writing there is no work of anyronleieuenee going on in this viciiity. Therelre pleity of PWA jobs in the hopper andwhen they get out most of our members willhave a jnb again, but uniit that time arrivesOhey will have plenty of time to go fishing.

Oh, yes: that lr-minds us that the coal bins will have to befilled before long. and here's hoping workeontinues as it ha; -s Ihat we can fill them.

Well, let's set, hal h.s happened this pastmonth. Now, whore is that notebook? iHereit is. Yes, iour agrP.n.lentIts are all signed,by the utility companfiy indl ilso the con-tractors. It has been a long-drawn-out bat-tie, boys, and you all should give our Bui-less Manager . ohn.on and l'resident Lyonsa good handshake for closinig the deal. Agreat deal of time and effort have been spentby this committee, and they are good agree-meits, boy!

Come on out to the meetings. you utilityBrothers; there were only a handful ofyou this past meeting, yet it was a good,shodf, snappy meeting.

You finside wiremen, get out to the meet-jigs. There is lots going on at thesemeetings. We notice that some shops havenot even been represented for a couple ofmonths, What is the matter? Has thebos got you scared out? We have a by-lawcommnittee now for the inside wiremen andI hope they draw up a set of by-rlaws thatwill scare you out to the meetings. Oh.well, a good anion man attends the meetings.

Now here is something about our newLabor Temple. It IookSa like it won't helong before we will have a new home. Let'sput our shoulder to the wheel and pushwith the committee on this new building.You have to hand it to them for the schemeof raising funds for remodeling.

On August 16 we lost one of the grand oldmen of Lcal Unioin NO,. 52,. Brother CharlesOrienl. Brother Oriel died suddenly of hearttrouble while receiving treatment at the1U. S. Veterans. Hospital, Bronx, N. Y.Initiated in the Brotherhood and Local No.52on December 15, 1899, Brother 0ieii wasa true and loyal Brother Lhlru Phiut Ihis

eareer as a union tradesman. His passing istruly a great loss to his family, the unionand his ally friends. Brother Oriel wasabout two weeks short of his siity-thirdbirthtliy when he passed on, and had spentthe last 17 or I8 years in the employ ofthe Newark Evening News. He leaves fTursons. Brothers (eorge. Thomas. Theodoreand Charles. and a daughter, Elizabeth.Mlrs. Oril died two years ago.

Goirg from a serious to a lighter vein. Iwant to inform you that the deep-sea fisher*men ill our midst have had a good season.judlging by all reports. They may not havecaught many of the finny tribe, but theycertainly I' hd a .II of fun. You should seeBrother "larlin Joe" Cyerneki's faie lightup when he tells you about that big onethat got away.

By the time this gets to you, the howlingboys will be thinking oI warming up for tlewinter seasm. Coime one, come all. and joinin the fun.

Brother Al "1ot Seat" Meslar tells mIethat he is the proud father of a new babyboy, Al, Jr.; weight, nine and one-halfpounds.

Brother Maekie, our crack lineman, aback iI town after a few wee ks' olkr iii theSmoky City, Pittsburgh, Pa. Thanks a lot,Pittsburgh. for giving one of our boys abreak.

And. now. last call for the outing! Whenthis gets into your hands, you will stillhave a few dlays i which you can makie upyour mind to come out and have isome funwith the rest of us. We need you andyou need us to help make this outing auunqualified success. I admit we can't pos-sibly begin to mateh St. Louis' 18,000 atan outing, but we can strive for as neara 10 per cent attendance as possible. Itcan he done if we all think it can. So don'tforget we want to see you at the RhinelandGlardens, Bloonmfeld Avenue,. West Coldwell,N.

We have a few things to consider hereat this time that are quite a problem, in away. This fellow that just got nominatedon the DIIIncratie ticket for goIern ofthis state had about the only staudard ofrules t present as an argument thatknow of thnt will apply to all ease,; "Doye utot others as ye would that they shoulddo unto you." Some say that there is apassage in Scripture that says: "DT ye notas I do, but as I tell you to do." Person-Ally I don't call to memory ever having readthat.

I.. U. NO. 90, NEW IIAVEN, CONN.Elitor:

The subject of reducing the age limit illour old age pension plan seles to ,ie gettiingsome consideration from various writers.

Some items state that the age limit shouldhe reduced; some that the i. 0. should pro-pose a proposition in this matter: snoethat it can he dune and they are ready toargue with anyone who says it cannot be;sone say reduce it even if it Inalls anassessment; however, none go beyond that.

In considering this subject we have gol; todecide definitely whether we want to put uilla pension law that will remain a pensionlaw or bome.l an old age aistaine law.There is a great deal of difference betwIleenthe two. We certainly shInul not enact intolaw an act that only builds empty unreal-zlable hopes that must be silalIheed just as

you get ready to get them.Illt the face of the fact that we had to

establish class B locals with rxeepfionallyTow duoes. how can anyonle conlsider raisingthe per capita? A scanning of the localstIIailt ae changing to cliahs P tloni, aincateto me that such a move would not be to theealtilh of any pension plal,

This is a matter where what you wish to,ure done and what you financially are aillto do come to uncompromising grips, Eitheryou do only what you are financially aleto di or else you lose what you have, It willnot do a single member any good to reduce

the age limit- unless the additional necessaryfrlranees are paid in adanello and will in-juilr mally.

This subject of pensions compels one to gointo many subjals finance, births, death:.

lif e expectancy, population tirends and occu-pational trends ignore them and it willresult in withheld payments, then assess-mnnt., then to old age assistane and thennothing but strife, disappointments and re-

It sems an undisputed fact that the birthrate has fallen and also that life span hasincreased. Thea ado up to trouble aheadfor all but the mIost sounll peasionI plals.We cannot p't into effect plans adaptable30 to 40 years from now at this tim, thoughwe tat build up resnrves now for later. Weare going through a rapidly changing ageand it will take aproximately 35 to ,10years before we reach a staile or a decliningago

Some may say to blazes with 36 to 40years from now, we wInt it now! Well, theonly way you can get it now is to pay ap-proximately 0 per cent monre than you nowpay. It takes over 114 members' paymetto pay one pension now monthly. In onedecade and a half the change fronm 65 to 0results in approxilmately 100 per cent in-crease in the numlsi involved. We nIustremember that it is posaible to pay into thepension fund the sun of 190 in 20 years anddraw out the suni of $40 per month for therent of one's life. In 20 years the total pen-sion fund paOytent, would amount to $90and oIIe y.ar pensIion benefit amounts to$480.

Some may be inclined to figure getting4 per cent froIn lotey invested but that

is much too high, and if you get I topIer cnt in the future you will he gettinga lot, and the crisis that is dlue to come ina few years will make '33 look like a piker,and poli tic s wit I have allything to do withit. In a few more years our ilornial Lnen-pilyieiat will be close to 10.000.000.

L. U. NO. 175, CHATTA-NOOCGA, TENN.

Editor:Members of Local No. 175 and

their families, with the con-tractors and their families, heldtheir tenth annual picnic, Junog0. For Ihe opa; , nine years ithas beenl a fish fry, so we halda chalnge i .r.n i... this -ear an iiserved fierle Ii1,,In with slaw,sliced tnahl,, potato sdad,[pickleg, potato chips, bread, l.n-oande and coffee (union paked).

There also were hundreds ofsandwiches and soft drinks forthose who were hungry and erescouldn't wait for the chicken to inshpttebe fried. London,

The contractors furnished the manI ; $

prizes for the races, tug-of-warand other events. The ugliestman also won a prize, and it was a hardjob for the judges.

I am mailing three pictures that weretaken on the grounds. If you have roomfor any of thenm a. k., if not, thanks justthe same, and after the ofce force haslooked them over please return them. Wehad 350 present.

Brother G. M. Freeman, 1. 0,, representa-tive on TVA work, has been a very sick mIan.He is up and going again, but is not fullyrecovered yet.

Brother O. A, Walker, T. 0. representa-tive, conII.cted wiiit the linemen'a locals.had an auto wreck in Georgia the first ofthe month, had his ankle broken, but isresting well and getting along as well ascould be expeted.

Have been trying to get the boys from theradio Local No. 662. to send in the list oftheir amateur stations, so if some of theFraternity of the Air will CQ Chattanooas, Tenn., and get th.em tartad, they willprobably send their list in. This is ayoung local, and they are going idalong lieold veterans, and going places.

The electrical workers from Tennessee,I am sure, were glad to see the articleabout the "Gentleman from Tennessee.'Secretary of State Cordell Hull, in theJOURnta, as there is some talk of runninghim for President of the UnitOl Stotes.Anything for Inre and better busiaes,.

The county fair to be held with "TheDrums of Dixie" eclebration will have somework for the boys the first of the month.Work is very slack here at present.

"The Drums of Dixie" will commemoratethe one hundredth anniversary of Chat-tanooga and the seventy-fifth anniversaryof the Battle of Chickamauga, so I am send-ilg Brothers Dan Tracy and G. M. Bugnia-set a real wooden nikel, one of the souve-nirs, which can be used in Chattannonga.

L. U. NO. B-212, CINCINNATI, OHIOEditor:

Cincinnati was the meeting place of theOhio Conference of the I. B. E. W., July 31,and habout M delegates from 16 local unionsin Ohio were present which. I believe, is *fine atteindance. Some of the oftleers fromthe 1. 0. were also present, and PresidentTracy's address was the highlight of themeeting. I understand he gave a fine talkon the organizing efforts made by the 1. O.,

part In, in the manufactur-ing enid if the trade. and alsocovered all subjectt of interestto the delegates.

Loal No,. II-212 was host ata party for the delegates in theevening alld, reports indicate, itwas enjoyed and appreciated byall present. Some ol the dele-gates laid over for the OhioState Federation of Labor Con-ventioi, which convened August1, and as that date was our firstmeeting in August, four of thedelegates attended our meetingthat evening. We were glad towelomie Brothers SigmieRr, ofYoungstown; Fischer, of Toledo,end MuMann and Munich, ofCleveland,

I am sure everybody presentenjoyed Brother Sigmeier's re-counting of his experlences dur-

W,~sW°Dgd ing Lh~ thime he worked in Piny,,it WDychir- about seven yeare ago. The ule{.

a of the dent of the pat on the back at2 p m. and then the pay off at 4p. m. was a honey. Harry didn't

know how lucky he w.. he didn't get paidoff at 3 p. m., which is the custom in S011Wshops.

"nHeghho, heighho, and back to schoolwe go," will soon be the chant of the kids.and I hope plenty of the Brothers of LocalNo. B-212 pick up the refrain and follow itout, as we are going to have a class againfor higher education in the electricaltrades, and all of us can stand more edu-cation, for no one man knows all that ispossible to know about the trade. So, here'sgood Wlek to the committee in charge andhopes for a full attendance. It is only byyour own efforts, Brothers, that you canbecome a better workman.

And, by the way, speaking of education.when a prospective member is examinedfor his qualifications to become an elec.trical worker, how about his qualificationsas a union man? Has he any idea what aunion means-or did mean at one time oris he simply joining up for what he eanget out of it financially? In these daysof competition among labor ideals of union-ism are overlooked entirely too much for thegooll of the union.

Our thanks to the Pittsburgh boys flithe fine treatment given members of LocalNo. 8-212 while working in their territory.

There are rumblings of drastic wage cutsin the building trades here. That old ileathat lower wages nae btriter busillol.For who.l?

Most of the hbys didnit iltdthe peak of 111., in fact, they were all cornnenting on the fino weather we were havingunil we ree eived our August JOLuINAIS.

L. U. NO. 617, SAN MATEO. CALIF.Editor:

Through the efforts of organized labor aninitiative measure known as the "Labor Or-ganizption Act" was prevented from beingplaced on the ballot this fall. This measurewas sponsored by a number of women whocalled themselves the 'Wonen uf the Pacif. i "and presided over by a Mrs. Edwin Selvin,who halsd from Seattle, Wash.

It was an attempt to put the state of Cali-fornia in the condition of the old days ofslavery, and if the aims of the sponsors hadsueeded they would have soon had the entireUnited States in a worse condition than thedays of negro slavery,

Negro slaves had a place to live, anid as arule had plenty to eat, but if they had beenable to put this measure over labor would noteven have had that.

In the Arst place the measure was ulicon-stitutionrl, as it abridged freedom of speehand pres striuck at the very foundstions ofour country by striking at liberty. It im-posed a condition of involuntary servitude orslavery on labor, restrilted freedom of peace-ful assembly, denied labor the protection ofthe laws of our country.

If this measure had beome a law it wouldhave permitted employers to out wages aslow as Sl per day and also enabled them tocompel employees to work 16 hours per day.

If labor should strike against these in-tolerable conditions of slavery ea.h em-ployee could and probahbly would have beenfined $1,000 and confined in prison for theterm, of olie year.

This vicious and uneonstitutional measurehas no parallel in any federal law l ]n allylaw of any state.

The San Franciso Chamber of Commerce,in speaking for its membership, has publiclydeclared that: "This bill is too drastic, itwould deprive unions of rightful privilegesand would operate to the disadvantage liothof employers and employees" When anyChamber of Commere takesli this stand it isa ertn;inty that such a measure is unsolindand unsafe even for such anti-union organ-izations as the average ( Chamber of

The main purpose of this measure was tofine ,l.oldiioally any member of a laborunion the sum of $1,000 and confine himt inprison if he participated in, co-oplit A in,or supported any strike. A fine of $1,000 andof course the added year in jail was to belnlpoed on a union or any other person who

collected contributions or distributed or par-tiita trd ill the distribution of contributilon

for the purposi 0 uiitc iinI r Itinitagaly strike.

N*o union aould ern I iii.. i.rde,avrtatiorl ot pro ferm I jiis withoutbeing sUbjeot to this y,,e o iil e ie andjail se.ntence, ail ,.. .l.. Or ; Ut[iOcould be able to go iii strike to better theirconditiar I or go ot strike to help , e lnilelr i of

ntliie pcjialaty. It is evident that these wunuiiIllil S iltiK that the melnberO of organizedlaher go artpitd with a pocket full bf $1,000hills [ly Ie ill tuilt of $1,000 fines tihat theywant to hIng oil them.

Thi'y also hadil i, l ilieasure that i .i.esm-ihr Ifa union ',hl l oie sL llIku unless heshould have been iriiherd Coyl tinuous. ly 90days by the same identical employer. Therewas iothing said lfhelt an eImployer layingan employee off ote day in each 0O days tolake him subje t to the terms of themeasure and liable to the $1,01[lO fife andniproiloiment.

More $1,000 fines and imprisoinmrit Theyalso wanted to fine union l enthers thisaiouant and put themn in jail, too, if theyshouid refuse to handle or install JapanesehimportLs ade by cheap Japanese labor, prod-ucts made by child labor, sweat shops, orprison made goods.

Notice how smart they were to includeprison made goods in the list. Why? Sothat they could fill the prisons with goodmechanics from the unions, place thenl in theprison factories to make the products thatthey could sell at a huge profit.

Again they wated to fine $1,000 and con-fin, in jail any group of employees who wenton strike because an employer failed to paywages, or hadll exposed them to unsanitaryand unsafe conditions.

California has good, Just and humnIlie laborlaws and the passage of this measure wouldhave repealed all of them.

It would also conflict with the policy 'ndlaws of the United States governmen. t as thefollowing uotatione from the National LaborRelations Act reads:

"It is hereby declared to be the policy ofthe United States to eliminate the causes ofcertain substantial ostructions to the freeflow of commerce and to mitigate and elimi-nate these obstructltons when they have oc-curred, by encouraging the practice ofcollective bargaining and by protecting theexercise by workers of full freeomll of asso-c/ation, self organization, and designatieon ofrepresentatives of their own choosing, forthe purpose or negotiating the beirs and con-ditions of their eaply.nient or other mutualaid or protection'

This measure would p.t iabor back in theDark Ages and make slaves of ail free Amer-ican citizens. It was also in dilrect cot littwith the policy of the state of Californiawhich states that

"Negotiations fii terms an d roituions oflabor shouid result from voluntary agroemonte between employer and employees

ovIIrnlneltatl authority has permitted andiiencourged employers to organ io in the

corporate and other fonrns of capital con-troh,, I dealin, with such employers. theindividual unorganized worker is helpless toexelrise liberty of contract and tI o prptecthis freedbom of lhbor. and thereby to obtainacceptle btlers nf emffployqmtent.

'Therefr, it is iecessary that the indi-vidual workman have full flreedol of lsso-cittiin, sel. f orgatizuton, and dsl~gnriimti ofrepresentatives of his own choosing, to nePo-tiate terns andl onitlionis of his erplohYilAt,anld that he shall be free fron the inter-ference, restraint, or coercion of the employore of labor, or their igeInt , in thedesiginetion of such prpersntatiees or inself organization or in other concerited activi-ties for the purpose of collective hergainiigor other mutual .ild or pI lLteitiln,

It was an illrinlit to tie the lidais of laborald would not hintv permtlted labor to vote toeil. eoIprornise discontinue, ,or settle astrike without the penalty of this $1,000 fineand acc4ivpasid Jir imiprisonimieltt

The eonmhi rtv work of all origanized la'tr'rwas needed to conmbai such iii unconscitu -tionl and irslcading measulure if labor w-s tolive aid exist.

The Declaratioi of Idpenpnddenc says ipart We, hold these truths to be self

It is evideiiit that the sponsors of thismeasure, who have calied themselves the

Women of the Pacific," do not believe thatthe ilelnrato of I dPonpen denie ajiplies toorgiized labor.

loweear, these womnl were not ailde to getoeuogh signatures to get this measure on tile

ballot. but it goes to show how far sonecrack-brained females, pomibly put up to ithiy some big bluainess interest, will go oncethey get an idea in their simple minds. La-bor must be on the alert or one of these daysthey will slip one over on us before werealize it.

This was an anti-labor meeting inhonor of this wonaon. It might have been abettor idea to have shipped her back toSeattle where she came from before she gotanother one of her uscrewy" idea8.

P.electricians alone. we now have the workersof the City Light & Traction Co. and almost all town contractors signed up.

Much credit is due Brothers C, R. Wood(our president since 1934), I. Hawley andF. (U. Rose for their untiriig, unselfish,loyal organicing ability. They are active,too, ill all civic matters pertaining to thewelfare of our city. The allegation hasbeen made the M. 0. i. electrlcians werethe first to become iCO per renL organizedin Sedalia, a fact of which we are par-donably proud.

Saturday, August 13, was Missouri PacificRailroad parade day. A pa.l. rd ,, naogt twomiles long; every craft was out in fullforce, carrying their respective local unionuumber and insignia.

to the John Miller Eletrie, of Detroit.We have had several W. P. A. school jobs.We can see smiles on fellos fares nowthalt we thought had forgotten how to smile.

And right n.. before I forget it, I amgoing to do a little preaching. Brothers,tn kwei those smiles on your faes,. in thefuture practice a little "economy." J uli-eiaus economy is one of the roads to securitfywhen not working. Economy, like intelligentwork, is construetive. and no one can hopeto enjoy indepennene who (lees not keephis expenses well within the limit of hisinernle. The reckless spending of mo.eyIbecmrs a habit, and those, who allow thein-3eLMs to be enslaved by this habit areburdened under the triple load of past,present and future obligations without suf-fiient fundls to meet them. There is prideand pleasure in knowing there is goingto be something left to put away for arainy day after you meet your bills muchgreater pleasure than the temporary enjoy-ment ,l things we cannot afford. Quitpiaying the big shot, or the good fellow;In other words. quit being a plain i---fool. Use a little foresight. "Foresight"'is ote way of saying use good Judgment.Goodl Judgment applied to present actionswill reduce the regrets in our vinionr ofthe past and promote security for the future.It is true that God feeds the little birds,but remetuner, boys, lie doesn't throw it intheir rieits

I would like to do a little broadcastingto every member of this local. This takesinl the linn n'len and card men as well.There are a lot of things to be done tokiep our union functioning as it shnul.dOne of the most important things is at-tndlanioe on meetings. the nmost of us lieill need of union education (some more sothan other,), Union means snore than justpaying y.our dues. and if some of you cardmen will start coming to the meetings, youwill without a doubt fild out there issomething in this "union" business besidespaying dues.

They said theywud behave thimsilves but at that theynear spilt the milk. Pat had added ayoung heifer to his stock an' av courlsathe twins had to see which wan cud stayon her back the longest. Mike was thefirst to try; so they cornered her up an'filnally got a halter on her head. Mikemanaged to jump on her hack an' grabthe halter shank. Now the barn doorwas divided inta a top half an' a lowerhalf an' only the top half was closed.Whin the heifer felt Mike strike her backshe bolted like a streak av lightnin' intathe barn an' the closed door caught Mikeplumb in the face at,' shot him skywardto land in a heap wid his face all blood.Tim mopped off his face an' led him up toMary an' she fixed it up so that in a fewdays his face looked less like a houseafire."

While Casey had been spinning hisyarn the daylight had long since fadedinto darkness and a faint glimmer oflight was beginning to show in the easternhorizon. Casey noticed it and said: "Wellnow! Wud ye believe it. Here it is

"Sure,we will," said Slim, "An' William willsure have to square himself with ourlandlady for the evil influence he has onmy young life, keepin' me up all night ina round of dissipation," "Who, me?" saidBill.

AFFECTS LABOR

Good workmanship reluires expe~t[ myeIt is only inviting trouble to inh-allcheap materials that can be fastened tothe building by unskilled labor usilgearpet tacks.

Equally important is the matter ofproper fittings by which the wires areconnected to the steel boxes or other fix-tures. Poorly designed or poorly madefittings have been responsible for troublefar more often than have defective wires.

It is an exploded fallacy that fires haveoften been eausell by defective wiring.Too often this has been stated merely asan excuse in tile absenne of ability toprove the real eaule of the fires.

Fire inspectors and electrical inspectorsknow that in miost instances of fireschargeable to the electrical systarm lietrue cause was overloaded circuits hmmany appliances having been conn.ectd toa circuit designled to carry only a liAnitrd amount of rurrent.

Where such overioaded circuits werewired with steel armored cable anid thearmor became overhated from the ex-cess current, it was clearly due to thisoverload or to dfce-tiye niaterial or tocareless w.orkmanship in installation butnot to the steel aimored cable as such;this being proved by the millions of safeand satisfactory installations with thistype material.

It is false economy to use cheap mate-rials and tives too small to carry thleamount of current that will be required.In such cases it is only a short time be-fore they have to i, replaced and thisis much more expensive than if adeqaiiti,eapacity and good materials are installedat first

And still another tragic "if" is de-tailed. Another ship, the S. S. Cali-fornian, lay hove to for the night amongthe icebergs, not moe than 15 milessway from the sene of the Titanicdisaster, Her single radio operator, CyrilEvans, had signaled a greeting to theTitanic less tLian a half hour beforethe crash. The Titanic's John Phillips,busy with another message. answeredbruskly. Evans, who had been on watchfor 16 hours, listened a few minuteslonger, then switched off his receiverand went to bed. The lights of theTitanic were dimly visible from theCalifornian. During the night, whilePhillips' SOS was screaming the disasterto ships far distant, an officer of theCalifornian who could "read Morse ifsent slowly," idly picked up Evans' head-phones and listened for a moment. Theset was turned off, silent. He laid downthe phones and switched off the light.When Evans got up at 4 a. m. he gotthe news from other ships. Pushing onto the Titanic's position the Califniransaw the Carpathia picking up the lastboatload of survivors.

Jack Phillips, on the Titanic, workedto the last at his transmitter. He wasat his post, with Junior Operator Bridebeside him, a half hour after all boatshad left. Phillips went down with theship, but Bride escaped with a few othersin a collapsible boat and was taken onthe Carpathia, his feet frozen from theicy water. Propped in a chair he helpedthe operator of that ship send out thelist of survivors to a horrified world.

AMATEUR SAVES SHIP

One of the most interesting chaptersto the electrical worker concerns "TheUnlucky Tashmo.," W vhose '"thrifty"owners sent her to so' in bad repair, with-out a radio operator or a radio setwhich was operating. She began to havea bad time of it when a gale blew upas she staggered down the coast of Mex-ico. With cargo shifting, a list of 35degrees, engines dead, she drifted outinto the Pacific wastes. The captainthought of a young man, Arthur Finch,who had shipped to work his way to NewYork for his transportation and board

How Finch patched the set together"by guess and by gosh," is a story thathas its a musing moments.

gram of the USHA. Behind this cordialco-operation is a similar cordiality on thepart of the housing authority. The choiceof Nathan Straus for administrator wasapproved by the building trades. LaborRelations Uirector Price has a keen un-derstanding of building labor's problems.as he occupied the'affie of internationalvice president of the Bricklayers whenhe was chosen for his present post. Formany years he was president of theMarble Workers until that iaternatioalwas merged with the Bricklayers.

'"We believe it is going to be possibleto keep the projects of the U. S. HousingAuthority going smoothly because wehave the co-operation of the authorityfrom the start," Mr. Rivers told yourJOURNAL reporter. "Jurisdictional dis-putes arise from new materials and newmethods of installing materials. Butthey are also due to architects and con-tractors awarding work to the wrongtrades. There are many operations inconstruction work for which several dif-ferent trades Ilave I.en capable of per-forming the work. But through thesettlement of many jurisdictional ques-tions there has gradually grown up thedivision of work among the differentcrafts, each of which jealously guards itsclaims. Architects and contractors cando a great deal for their own advantageby making sure that the work is dis-tributed to the proper trades.

"Because of Mr. Price's background weknow that he understands the impor-tance of the awarding of work in accord-ance with jurisdictional rules; and thathe will influence the local housing au-thorities which administer the projects inthe various cities, to respeet those rgles.On the wage question we will also haveharmony from the start because theUSHA will put the prevailing wage in

each city into its contract with that par-tieular city.

"It is by no means new for buildingtrades to make an agreement with con-tractors that wages shall not be adjustedduring the course of a project. In somecities, Kansas City for example, the localcouncil has an agreement with unioncontractors to this effect, that work shallbe completed at the same wage rates atwhich it was started. This is also anational rule of some unions, includingthe Electrical Workers."

The Alley Dwelling Authority of theDistrict of Columbia, a governmentagency which is elngaged in graduallyreplacing alley slum dwellings with moredesirable buildigs, during its severalyears of o perationll has ever had on of.,its jobs tied up by a strike or jurisdic-tioial dispute. While no atreenient wasmade with the crafts not to strike, theco-operative attitude of Director Johnlhlder and his assistants, as well as thesocial desirability of alley slum clear-ance, have resulted in a determinationby the unions to "treat them right." Inorder that jurisdictional claims may berespected, Mr ihider sends copies of hisplans in advance of bidding to the CentralLabor Union for its advice. That no jur-isdictional rows have developed on severalmiion dollars worth of buildings of va-rious types, bears out Mr. Rivers' argu-ment that harmony results from properrouting of craft claims from the start.

NEW PROCEDURE IN DISPUTES

The cause of harmony was also ad-vanced, it is believed, by an order sentout recently by the executive council ofthe department, abolishing local boardsfor settling jurisdictional disputes, anddireeting them that "if a dispute arisesover jurisdiction, the same must be re-ferled to the president of the Buildingand Construction Trades Department ofthe A. F. of L."

Under former rules arbitration boardsrepresenting unions and employers wereset up in the various cities with thepower to make settlements. Howeversatisfactorily this might work locally, itdid not result in a uniform code. At theDenver convention of the Federation acommittee was appointed, including In-ternational President Dan W. Tracy ofthe I. B. E. W., ., J. Heinz of the SheetMetal Workers, and Richard J. Gray,international treasurer of the Bricklay-

ers, to make a study of the jurisdictionalquestion. They reported "no uniformityin the rendering of decisions by localboards and that the plan caused dissatis-faction and discord within the localbuilding and construction trades councils."'

Responsibility for settlements accordinglyrests, mainly, with the presidet of thel'epartlncrt, whio, at present is Joseph A.

MDelnerney. According to the national planfor settling urisdietional disputes, whichwis set up by the A. F. of L. at its Tampacnvention in November, 1936, and embodiedin the laws of the Building and ConstructionTrades Department, the first effort to make

settlement of a dispute will be local. Thetrad s involved hav, five days to appointrpresentatives arid comne to an agreenentbetween themselves. If no agreement ireached President MIrlnerney must step in

and render a decision.s Although this de-cision is for the juriditin of the particu-lar job only, it hinges on a vast backgroundof former decisions Eovering the trades andvarious phases of work.

"'Any international union aggrieved by adecision of the president of the Bluilding andConstruction Trades Department may bringsuch appeal to the referee," who is Dr. JohnA. Lapp, sele, lii is impartial arbitrator bythe building traides union. "Two or nlreinternatinlo uion rs may by agreesl.ent sub-ni it a ju risl oaloiil question to the refereefor a decision without the necessity of pri-

eeding under Sectiun 37, but before render-inc a delcision the referee shMjI prlesnt the

In making eithor agreelments or awardsof jurisdition certain fators in ist be takenin aceount:

1. The material- whether it be wood.stone, plaster, brick, pipe, elct rical wiring,cement, metal, ete., each of which is thetraditional ossession of a certain craft.

2. The tool used in applying or inistailingthis material and tine craft skill neess.ary.For example, "Craftex" or "Textone', astucco finish. when applied with a trowel isthe work of the plasterer; wrn appliedever plaster with a irush, is the work of thepainter.

3. The function of the material. When allinterior trim was of wood the carpentersheld its installation undisputed, When metaltills, door andil window frames camre. intouse an agreement between the carpentersand the sheet metal workers was ncessaryby which the carpenters maintained theirright of installing all interior trim whetherit be of wood or metal.

4. Sequence of crafts on the joh. Forinstance, if a certain piece of work is per-fonled primarily by one craft, which hasthe ability to carry it through to cnipie-tlion. even thil gh a small part of it mighttlraditionally he prformed by another craft,it is centrally hold to be the jurisdictionuf tihe craft 'dioing the work." For example.in respect to acetylere and electric wellingan agreement was made between the elec-trical workers, sheet metal workers, ironworkers, plumbers anld steanfitters, and

machinists that 'each trade have juirsdic-tion when such process is used to performthe work of their respective trades." Again,

(May, 1926l 'Inasmuch as no other tradesexcept the bricklayers, plumbers and steam-fitters, and electricians have claimed thiswork, it is decided that the cutting ofchases and channels in brick, tile and othermasonry is the work of the brieklayers,except that the plumbers and steamfitters,and electricians have the jurisdiction to docutting where required for the installationof their respective work."

Where an agreement or decision works outwell in practice it continues as a rule. Butwhere it does not function smoothly inllpractice the crafts involved may apply to thereferee for a rehealng or an interpretation.

fore on a national scale and itises cer-tin important questions toI those peoplewho believe in democratic governmentand democratic procedure. In a demo-cratic government the very first prin-ciple may be laid down here, that thewitnesses have a right to know whorepresents whom. Nothing is moredangerous to a democracy or morerepugnant to decent citizens than forstooges and dummies to carry on the workof the mercenaries that lie behind. Thisview has been repeatedly the position ofliberals and progressives when it hascome to be a question of capitalist stoogesand dummies. For 30 years Americanliberals and progressives have foughtblind associations set up by bankers'money for the purpose of corrupting theelectorate. These same liberals and pro-gressives are now defending the right offoreign mercenaries to speak throughdummies and stooges as though they weresincere citizens. These liberals and pro-gressives who are defending now thestooges of the dictator Stalin are hopingto capitalize upon their former positionsas exposers of capitalist stooges anddummies. American labor unionists havea right to know who is speaking whenhe speaks and who is paying for hisserviees.

Whose bread I eat, whose wine I swig,His song I sing.

Communism may be defined as a deviceby which a two-inch tail wags a 98-inchdog. We do not believe that Americanworkers want to be wagged by a two-inch tail. But if they do, they have aright to know who owns the tail.

WAY TO LASTING INDUSTRIALPEACE

thinking industrialist must find himselfin accord. The process indicated is onewhich may well be referred to as col-lective reasoning. Though I believe incollective bargaining, as mlst every per-Sol who recognizes that labor has itsright as well as its obligations, I likethe term "collective reasoning" betterbecause it indicates the processes whichmust be followed if we are to developan industrial economy satisfactory bothto those who give the directions and tothose who perform the work.

A statement of the fundamental basis

501

The Journal of Electrical Workers and Operators

of this collective reasoning is found inthe preamble to what is known as theBoston Agremenet--an agreement whichwas adopted by many employers and elec-trical employee groups, following thecreation of the Council on Industrial Re-lations for the Electrical ConstructionIndustry in 1920. This preamble readsas follows:

"The vital interests of the public andof employee and employer in industryare inseparably bound together. All willbenefit by a continuous, peaceful opera-tion of the industrial process and th,devotion of the Ielis, of production to thecommon good,."

The samle thought was stated by Pro-fessor Robert A. Millikean, chairman ofthe executive council of the CaliforniaInstitute of Technology, in an addresslast May before the Chamber of Com-merce of the United States, as follows;

Destroying capital meanssimply destroying the tools by whichlabor lives and supplies its own everincreaiig wants. ThaLi the interests oflabor and capital in the United Statesare one and inseparable is both a scien-tific and an economic fundamental whichshould not be even debated any longerby those who are intelligent and in-formed in this field."

Recognition of the truth so well statedcan have no other effect than to bringabout the "new vision of the changedattitude between labor and capital," towhich the executive council referred.and to substitute "co-operation andunderstanding for industrial strife."

LABOR AND DEMOCRACY

It is difficult to understand how therecan be any division of opinion on thetmrertmese of the principle. Wages arederived from sales, just as are profits.The stockholder and the employee have acommon motive. The investor is entitledto a sufficient return to justify the intro-duction of his capital into industry.Indeed, he must have such a return orthere will be no capital and, withoutcapital, industry, under the Americansystem, cannot function. To make thisstatement is not to concede in the slight-est degree the right of capital to exploitlabor. In fact, the exploitation of laboris the negation of democracy, and thereis no surer way of destroying democracythan to attempt it. Labor is entitled to,and must have, a wage which will insurenot only the necessities but the comfortsof life, just so far as the continuation ofindustry and production will permit it.Labor, because of its numerical strength,is our largest consumer. Industry willprofit as it recognizes the importanceof the workers as buyers of its products.Thus, capital, labor and management area partnership and it becomes their jointtask in the matter of wages, hours andcapital returns to create the industrialpattern which will keep the wheels mov-ing with the most reasonable speed, pro-mote distribution and create the widestdemand for the nation's products.

The hope of approaching such an ad-justment lies chiefly in finding a methodfor the applicatinn of principles on which

the overwhelming majority of our eitiaen,are agreed. Satisfactory working condi-tions, the opportunity for the worker todevelop personality and citimzenship, and

age rates as high as it is possible for anindustry to pay, are subjects to hichthere should be no dispute in thetwentieth century.

In discussing the wage lite, however,we must not lay too "mu(h emphasis onthe hourly rate. It is really iot veryimportant. It adds to the cost of pro-duction without benefit to the worker.

The worker and the capitalist alike arechiefly interested in their annual in-comes. The family of a worker with anassured income of $50 a week is muchbetter off than the family of such aworker who may get $1.50 an hour, butworks only three days a week. The ileaof co-operation must be directed towardobtaining an economic balance for theindividual as well as for industry as awhole.

What the worker is really interestedin is continuity of employment providinghe receives the best wage that is justifiedin the industry that employs him. Con-tinuity of employment means continuedpurchasing power and net purchasingpower means much more than a nomi-nally high wage received only at inter-vals. Thus, labor, like management, hasa direct interest in preventing misdi-rected production or excessive costs. Itbecomes its task to keep the goods mov-ing from the producing enterprise toconsumers.

CO-OPERATION A NECESSITY

Thus, an incontrovertible case can bemade out for co-operation. To achieveit, will not be easy. Go-operation is ahighly intellectual conception. It is an artand can be learned only by daily practiceand not by wishful thinking. One reasonwe have failed to accomplish it in anywide sense has been that there have beentoo much name-calling, too much satiriz-ing of the people with whom it is desir-able to co-operate, and too much bitter-ness; prejudices have been elevated intoprinciples and reasoning has been deniedthe opportunity to function.

In the attempt to bring about co-opera-tion, there are certain well-establishedprinciples that can be applied success-fully. The first of these consists in recog-nizing the doctrine of equality of rights.This is where the labor union comesinto the picture. Only in times whenthere is a shortage of labor does theindividual worker have bargainingpower. He may have reasoning powerbut it is apt not to be recognized by theboss, particularly the boss who has beentrained in the old school. It was thenecessity of placing labor on equalitywith management in mutual negotiationsor controversies which led to the estab-lishment of labor unions. As ChiefJustice Taft expressed it, in 1921, "theywere organized out of the necessities ofthe situation. A single employee washelpless in dealing with an employer.'* * Union was essential to give laborersan opportunity to deal on equality withtheir employers'."

In establishing equality of rights, it aisjust as dangerous to lean too far in onedirection as in the other-that is a majortrouble with the legislative process. Theofficeholder is almost certain to be pro-labor or pro-capital. Thus, over a periodof years, we have seen the situationchange from a point where, in the earlydays, some courts held combinations toincrease wages and achieve other laborobjectives, to be conspiracies at commonlaw, to a point where today the employerhecomes, under certain conditions, a crinm-inal if he attempts to reason with hisemployees, Justice Harlan of theUnited States Supreme Court aptly saidin 1908R that employers and employeeshave 'equality of right and any legisla-tion that disturbs that equality is anarbitrary interference with liberty ofcontract which no government can legallyjustify in a free land."

Another effect of attempting to handlethe matter by legislation is to make oflabor utnions political organizations in-stead of leaving them free to function inthe field where their chief concern lies.It has been said that organized labor inthis country has been "more effective asa political agency than it has been inspreading collective bargaining in far-tories and shops," If we can achieve co-operation and collective reasoning, it willnot he Iecessary for labor L devote iltselfprimarily to the political field.

To deny the ability of achieving anadjustment through legislation is not todeny altogether the need for legislation.Equality of rights must be preserved.That implies the need for legislationwhich will insure the right of collectivebargaining, but we are in danger ofupsetting the whole system when weoverstep these limits and pass legislationwhich di.regalds the rights of employersor permits administration in such fashionas to show favoritism in respect to rivallabor organizations.

NLRB WEIGHED

The Wagner Act has been delared con-stitutional. This mean, that in the opinionof the Court the th prsmentalon of the ictuiethe Act violates no provision of the Con-stitution. It does not mean that the Actperforms a useful rvise. It doAes notmeon that the law would be succesul incarrying out the purposes of the Act as enu-mnerated in the opening sction. The Courtdid not trouble to point out the strange in-conbiscy m betwueen Sectiu I and SueiunXIIl. The Court did not say the law wasgood. The Court did not say the law wasbad. It has been left for you and me andthe countless others to may that the Act is aninadequate and unethical piece of politicalexperimentation which will fall of its ownweight, if given time. Much legislation in thepast which has conapiciouswly failed to ad-dress itself to realities, has fallen into disuse.

Hlasty legislation devised to cure ageoldgrievances is more apt than not to fall shortof its objective, because it ii not given tohuman beings to esnompass such objetivesin a Jhort apae, of time; legislation of thischaracter has so many angles and nonets thatit requires tie, to see them all, to say nothingof devising mean fr their cure.

Another principle to which we must ad-here in our attempts to achieve co operationis recognition of public rights a.nd of the re-sponsibil ities of employer and employee tothe public.

*Statement by the Executivr CoGunril,American Federation of Labor

The executive council of the AmericanFlederaton of Labor regards tilhe preentmoment as most opportune and timelyfor a declaration of its basic aims andobjectives.

Ulnemployment c.an only he overcoie.through the creation of work opportunitiesfor working men and wonen ill private in-dustry. This is the real rA-nedy for urnenPloyijet. The time h., arrived when.through co-operation, inderstanding and a

proper regard for the righits t all employersand employees, industry and labor shouldget together and yrek to find a way bywhich this real rlemedy fir idleness can lieaplIied.

The American Federation of Labor is com-mitted to the principle of private ownershi p.private initiative and tlie protection of pri-vate ploperty. The right o own and manageliroliertlty must be Ioneleild aid s.afegutarded.W.orkl g people must be aenredal the rightto organlie and bargailn eahletively .

Labor invites ildstry to discard theweapons of industrial warfare diretedagainst labor by employers' associationsboth now and in days gone by. Let us allhave i new vision of the changed attitudebetween labor and capital. It means thesubstitution of cO-operation and under-standing for industrial strife.

sive and unwrrthy of recognition by mem-bers of the labour movement. Amongthem are:

League Against Imperialism.Left Wing Movement.Minority Movement.Workers' International Relief.National Unemployed Workers' Com-

mittee Movement.Friends of Soviet Russia (Friaends of

the Soviet Union").National Charter Campaign Committee.International Labour Defence.British Anti-War Council ("British

Anti-War Movement").European Workerr' Anti Fa.scst Con-

gress.Relief Committee for the Victims of

German and Austrian Fascism,

Some of these have quietly passed away,but others linger i differen d degrees ofaetivity. From timo to time such organih-tions of nushroor growth continue to beestablished for apparently laudaie purposes.It behoves members of the labour and tradeunion movement to refrain from associationwith bodies about whose origin, objecto, andactivities there is the least suspicion.

MYTH OF UNITED FRONT

In the discusions at the confrence of theCommunist Internalional the ob'ctIve ofthe "united front" tactics is fraeily avowed.In 1922, Rodek stated quite clearly

"The way of the 'united front' leads to thedictatorship of the proletariat" The "Com-munist Thesis on Tactics,' published in 1025,was no less clear:

"The ta.ics of tile united front' are onlya method for agitation and the revolutionaryinobilisatioi of the proletarist for consider-able periods. The tactis of the united front'were and remain, a revolutionary, and not apeaceful and evolutionary method,"

Dimiitro, the new secretary of the Conmunist International, chided his doubtfulcomrades who feared the communist doetrinesand tratlees mnigt. be dilhtfd, if not di-verted, by contact with freer democraticspirits. At the Moscow Congress in Sep-tembr, 1985, he said:

"There are wiseares who will sense in 'theunited front' a digression from our basicposition, some sort of turn to the right ofthe straight line of Bolshevism. Well, in mycountry, Bulgarla; they say that a hungrychike.n always dreams of millet." (Loughter.)"Let those politial thickens think so."(Laughter.)

"We want all this beeause only in this waywill the working class at the head of all thetoilers, welded into a million-strong revolu-tionary army, led by the Communist Inter-

nalr.ina, and possessed of so great and wisea pilot as our leader, Comrade Stalin, be ableto full il its historical mission ' * ..

Manuiliaky, the principal representative ofthe Russian Communist Party on the execu-tive of the Communism International, moreimpatient of puzzled eomradee, gave the issuesharper point:

"Only downright seoundrels. he sid., 'canassert that In fighting for the unity of theworking alas the Conomunirst Interniattrl isobscuring the fundamental differences thatdivide the communists fromil the socialdemoocrats

"It would be sheer madness to obscure thesedisagreements.

"Only hopeless idiots can think that byhelping the social democratic workers to coinover to the position of the class truggle bymeans of the 'united front' tactics we arefacilitating the capitulation of Comnmunismto Sucial-Democracy 2'

These sentiments, fundomelltally true asthey are, form the background upon whichthe proposals for a "united front," andl foraffiliation o. the Communist Party to theLabont Party must be viewvd. It is ! for thepurpose of subjcting the labour and tradeunion movement of Great Britain to the dc-tation of the Rumman government.

What common ground of meeting can therebe between representatives of the Britishlabour movement and communist leaders, who,whatever they may profess, conduct all their

negotiations with these fundamental aimsin mind?

It is obvious that every facility that affilia-tion woubl bring, ,rvy oppiulu'it tu,Lat the

unitedl front" eouhl afford, would be con-,italily ili persistently ,sed with the onemain purpos e ever in mind the completelestuctiion t of the industrial and politicallabour movements that generations of tradeunionists. socEiaists, anld democrats have

toiled to preserv.

By BUDD L. McKILLUPSPRESIDENT ROOSEVELT has set an Ill-

time regrd for Un ited States Chief Execu-tives traveling to foreign lands. Since hisinauguratiuon, on March 4, 1933, he has setfoot on foreign territory 16 times.

Among the countries vsited by him--somoof them two or more times-are Canada,Brazil, the Bahamas. Panama. Haiti. Coloem-bia, Coat Rica, Argentina. Uruguay andTrinidad.

Only four other Presidents have left theUnited States while in office. TheodoreRoosevelt was the first one to make such atrip-to Pallama. T aft visited Mexio,Panama and Cuba. Wilson went to Europeat the close of the World War. Hardingstopped off in Canada on his way back fromthe Alaskain trip thtL precded his suddendeath. Coolidge made a trip to Cuba. Hooverdidn't go anywhere during his administra-tion, but the entire nation did-it wentthrough hell.

TECHNICALLY, it is possible for a personto set foot on the territory of 53 foreignnations in less than a dlay's time, and withoutgoing outside of Washington, D. C.

All embassies and legations, anywhere inthe world, re part of the country theyrepresent. There are $3 in Washington.Each is rcognized aI foreign territory andthe United States has no more jurisdictionover what happens there than it has overwhat happens in Kabul, Afghanistan.

If, for example, Ambassador Extraordinaryand Plenipotentiary Herr Hans Dieckhoffshould decide to sliee off the head of SecondSecretary Herr Ernst Ostermann on Rothin th, red brick (jGerman embassy on Massa-chusetts Avenue, the Washington police wouldhave no more authority to interfere thanthey would in an alloy brawl in Munich orBerlin.

EMBASSIES and legations in Washingtonare of various sizes, ranging from a suite ofroonts maintained by Albania in a Connecti-cut Avenue hotel to the iltposing series ofhuildings on a tract oI land like a smallestate where Great Britain has its diplomaticheadquarters in the United States.

Ineidentally, most visitors to Washingtonfind these embassies not at all like, they pic-tured them--massive structures, surroundedby high stone walls, over which swarthy-faced, snister-looking men escape at night ina fusillade of pistol buliets, carrying withthem valuable papers stolen from the secretsafe hidden behind the portrait of the GrandDuke Ivanache Iniibellie.

The E. Phillips Oppenhe[m moti is abso-lutely lacking. Most of the embassies andlegations do not have even a privet hedgearound them. A few have deoraetire ironfences. The Soviet Embassy has a ratherforbidding iron fence surrounding it, but thewhole thing was built for a private homethe residence of Mrs. George Pullman, widowof the sleeping ear magnate.

Among them are the naval wireless towers,the Washington Monument. a few sky-reach-ing gas tanks, and several high smohestmeks.And after they land, the runway crosses apublic highway.

THE PHRASE, watered stock" is socommon that few people are curious about itsorigin. It was born during the railroad spec-ulation era shortly after the Civil War, whenDaniel Drew, treasurer of the Erie Railroaddiscovered how much money could be made byselling rail securitie that had no more valuethan so much waste paper.

AM a young man, Drew was a cattle drover.When he was bringing eattie to the markethe fed them hay saturated with salt and gavethem little or no water. Just before hereached the place where the cattle would bebought-by the pound--he led the beasts towater troughs and let them drink their fill.

Their Inerea .ed and false weight broughthim many extra dollars. When he got intothe railroad business and discovered thatmillions could be cleaned up by lavishly print-ing extra stock and selling it to gullible in-vestors, ie himself referred to this skin gameas "watering the stock"

SOMETHING TO WORRY ABOUT:No member of the Senate or House has a

surname beginning with "Y."

SEVERAL, readers want to know whathas happened to the questions anti answersdepartment of this column. I dropped. itbecause I simply did not have the time togive to the research and correspondenceilveIled. The columns are written duringthe few spare breathing moments I haveon a very busy newspaper job. Many ofthe questions I received would have re-quired days of researc'h to secure the corrertanswers.

THE persecution complex of the Repub-ican party seems to be working overtime.Some of its leaders are bitterly complainingthat Postmaster General Farley ia behinda conspiracy to take the pictures of Repub-lican President ts from the commonly used

postage sltmps and put them on the higherpriced ones- where few people will ever seethe likenesses.

For instance, the present IlA-cent stampnow has Ilardiigs picjture Ion it. The pro-posed -hange hwould sh ft Ilardilg's to the$2 stmxp. Theodoro Roosevolt would gofroni the 5-ce,, t to te Lt-eent stamips, Taftfrom the 4-cent to the 0- enS, and.%cKinley ifIrul the 7 to the Lb -eent class.Coolidge's likeness would go on a S$ etamp.

There is notehing more sin iter be hbdthe ..rupua.t, however, than a pain to haovethe I-cent stamps start with George Wash-inglon's picture and go on from thre in theorder that the Preidents have hield effiteAdams, Jefferson, aldisnn, Mon roe, etc.

No President except a dead one can haveIlia picture ol a stamp, of course. Thirtyof our 31 former Presilents canx qualifyunder that rule, 'Ili,, new cheme wouldtake care of all 30.

LESS than one bill out of every 17 intro-ducd in Congress is enacted, according tostatistis furnished by the blibrary of Con-gress. I)uring the last 10 Congresses, theSixty-fifth to the Seventy-fourth, nimeibersof the House and Senate introluced 20.,5G7bills. Only 1 II2 of them were passed. Atotal of 140 laws were repealed during thatperiod. Most ot the unborn laws never cameto a vote, hut were rejected or pigeon-holed by the Senate or House rommittees towhich they were referred.

J. EDGAR IIOOVER, much over-publi-cized chief of the G-Men, is urgi.g thatall riefi appliran bts e fige r-printed. Isoriie'e thle next step after that would beto require each jobless lan to deposit acash bond and make a weekly report to thelocal parole offirer.

GENERAL JIUGHI S. JOHINSON, whohelped make a fizzle of the NRA, says inone of his recent syndicated columns that"the depression could be turned around inG0 days hy sinly letting the profits andcapitalia syst em work."

Those who doubt the General's statementare referred to the fact a "great engi.neer."named tierbert lioover, tried that methodfor 1,160 days. And we all know what ahowling sucess he achieved with it,

PERHIIAPS you have heard of the fellowwho had a $300a-lmontL municiipal job, andwhose only duty was to wind the eight dayclock in the mayors offieo? Well, he was ahard-working laborer in comparison with thechaplain of the United States Senate.

lit gets a salary of $1,6S0 a year forpraying a prayer at the opening of each day'ssession of the Senate. But a "day" in theSenate is vastly different from the "day'that rost oIf ns know.

Due Bto arijainelnt r reasons, the Senaterarely adjourns when it quits work alongtoward evening. It "recesses"' ilStead. Conserqueitly, thlere are very few "legislativedays" in an entire year. In the Congres-

sional sesion which ended June Il, therewere only three "legislative dys"'-fronJanuary 5 to April 20, from April 20 to June3, and from then to June 16.

As a result, Chaplain Z. B. Phillipes wascalled upon to say only three prayers duringthle entire five-month session. Barring aspecial sOniOL, (ongreor will Inot resueuntil January, 1939, so the chaplains Sena-torial praying Is finished for the year. Basedon his annual salary, the three prayers hesaid in the Senate cost $560 each.

lint it was probably worth much more, thanthat- if it kept Congress from going wherebig Business was earnestly wishing itwould go.

LESS than ever can we now isolate our problems.

Man's activities in every sphere react upon oneanother more rapidly. more directly. and more

intimately than in any previous age. A shortage ormisuse of gold. the rash extension or the sudden arrest ofcredit. will change the fortunes of the remotest factoryor farm. But money and credit and the whole frame-work of finance within which economic activity proceeds.are themselves profoundly affected by whatever happensin other spheres of human effort and ambition; by socialdemands or legislation: by political aspirations anddangers. And to all these interactions both rapidity andwide range are added by what is the cardinal feature ofour period: the improvement in the mechanism for thetransmission of news.
