 FOURTH OF JULY ODE
By JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL

I
Our fathers Fought for Liberty,
They struggled long and well
History of their deeds can tell
But did they leave us free?
]I
Are we free from vanity,
Free from pride, and free from self,
Free From love of power and pelf,
From everything that's beggarly?
III
Are we Free from stubborn will,
From low hate and malice small,
From opinion's tyrant thrall ?
Are none of us our own slaves still ?
IV
Are we Free to speak our thought,
To be happy, and be poor,
Free to enter Heaven's door
To live and labor as we ougft?
V
Are we then made free at last
From the Fear of what men say,
Free to reverence Today,
Free From the slavery of the Past?
VI
Our Fathers Fought for Liberty,
They struggled long and well,
History of their deeds can tell-
But ourselves must set us free.

STATE INTERVIENAION NEEIlDED
He quoite again a French authority, E.
Minost. In his book, Internutional Coope-
ration. Mr. Minost says: "One cannot re-
peat too, often that despite their protes-
tations of fiberal orthodoxy, industry and
coin..lere voluntarily tuOn their eyes to
wards the state."
The LIon.don Times says: "'The whole
question of state control ever i.dustiy in
every country in the worId is tow a donal-
nant issue.H.. tiero are problems enough
to engage the hardest intellects for many
years alhe.d.'
J. L. Galvin, British economist, has this
to say oilthe subject: "To talk of a new
campaign for indvidualisnm is ludicrous.
·.. This is the age of interdependence. . . .
This is the age of associated effort on a
widening scale ... The suptrvisory and
safeguarding functions of the state, in
view of trusts, national and international,
must extend in the interests of the ordi-
unary citizen. You can no more prevent it
than you can repeal the Factor'y Acts,"
So it came about that when the break-
down in busieess and government came in
1929, under the pressure from the people
themselves, the United States instituted
ert reforms. These refornms were insti-
ain
tuted by the Congress but entirly in the
direction of giving more power and more
varied powers to the executive branch of
the government. Some of these reforms
are the following:
1. The establishment of a national in-
sucance system, nsually spoken of as so-
cial security.
2. The setting up of great government
corporations such as the TVA.
3. The intense control of spenlation
under the Securities and Exchange Coal-
mission,
4, The placing of puableiworks on a
more planned and scientific basis.
5. Efforts to create full employment
by means of public works, the Civilian
ConservationaCorps and the Natiomd
Youth Administration.
These, indeed, represent a powerful ag-
gregate of new powers for government,
but no one can deny they have all been in
the direction of benefits tu the people as
a whole. The little lanin the nation has
got a break.
TRAINED MEN IN OFFICE
Two marked aspects of this adminis-
trative revolution refer to more scientific
control through administrative agencies
and the problem of winning representa-
tion in the administrative agencies. This
trend is still going forward. The village
postmaster type of president seemed to be
an anachronism-to have passed away
forever. Highly trained men with wide
knowledge are sought to head adminis-
trative agencies. Knowledge, scholarship
and science were not despised. Govern-
meet by hunch hae disappeared.
One of the strange phenomena was the
fact that the trend did not begin in the
Roosevelt administration but in the war
administration of Woodrow Wilson, and
that a Republican, President Herbert
Hoover! both as a public figure in the first

fr UNION SHOP
VEN the tern 'closed shopI'" as well
as the principles which it signifies,
Ehas btn the subject of inmassioned
controversy. Leaders Iof organized labor
have condemned it as a misnomer, They
have identified the term, not without
foundation, as one cunningly ienavte
by employers hostile to organized labor,
the use of which was intended to, and did,
pIrejudice the public attitude against
unionism. Labor spokesmen have main-
tained that the historically and factually
proper term for the particular emiployer-
employee relationship indicatld is the
"Union shop," whereas the labor rlations
status, or more accurately the lack of
labor relations status reerred to by these
hostile employers as the open shop has in
practice been the closed shop closed
against union members, and closed
against collective bargaining.
It is a bit ironical, therefore, that an
influential factor which will probably
tend to assure the continued application
of the closed shop label where the Na-
tional Association of Manufacturers in-
tontionally misplaced it, consists of an
exceptimally competent study of this
aspect of unionism. For the title of thae
work is "The Closed Shop,"t a book which
may well become recoguized as anl Cat-
standing authority in its field.
The author is a Catholic priest, Rev.
Jerome L. Toner, and the book is fit-
tingly dedicated to, and incltudes a
foreword by, the eminent Catholic
scholar, Father John A. Ryan, The
matter of authorship is doubly im-
portant in a work of this kind because
the bitterest enemies If the closed shop
profess that their hostility is based
not only on their peculiar, often per-
verted, version of "Americanism," but
also and more especially on moral
principles.
ORIGIN OF CLOSED SHOP
In developing the history, nature
and function of the losed shop. Father
Toner demonstrates that it is a' gen-
uinely American as anything can be,
and that it is in conformity with the
basic moral principle against which all
social conduct and human law must be
measured, the conmon good. ts de-
tractors are therefore wrong on both
of their major points.
The closed shop principle i cen-
turies old, only the term is new. The
principle was the very essence of the
guilds of the twelfth and thirteenth
centuries. The exclusion of non-menl-
hers of the guild from the practice of
the trade or craft, because they were
tot qualified or because they would not

was so well recognized as a means of pro-
teeting the worker and the public that the
closed shop principle survived the amodifi-
cations imposed by law upon many of the
gtild practices, and it was enforced not
only by the guilds temselves,. but by pub-
lic agencies including those of the king
and of the municipalitis. The principle,
therefore, is oler than unionien itself,
and was a part of the custom and com-
Ilion law of the people who formed the
United States.
ENGLAND'S EXPERIENCE
Journoymen's associations in England
and in the United States applied the
closed shop principle so naturally and
uniformly that some students of the sub-
ject have been misled into believing it did
not exist. Even today it is not uncommon
for those who consider themselves in-
formed to assert that the closed shop does

not exist in England today, merdy be-
cause it has not been made the artificial,
legalisticalIy separated issue which it has
becoI.e in tie growth of collective bar-
gaining in the United States. With re-
spret to its present status in England
the authorobserves: "The enforcement
of the closed shop in England does not do-
pend upon its formal inclusion in the
collective bargaining agreement. That is
no more essential for the effectual eoxen-
tIon of a cooperative closed shop under-
standing between employers and orgmn-
izrd workers than is the writing of a con-
stitution necessary for the political fune
tioning of the English people." Later he
adds, "The written type of closed shop
agreement is a naique product of the
American labor movement."
The usages if the term closed shop are
not always consistent. As used by Father
Toner, the closed shop includes those
practices vhtre the labor agreement or
custom requiems the hiring of union mem-
bers only, and where the agreement or
custom requites the hiring of workers
who need not be members but who are
willing to become members of the union.
FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS
The essential features of the closed
shop as identified by Father Toner are:
Jurisdiction, discharge of non-unionists,
and specified procedures of hiring. "The
elforts of unions to induce employers to
hire union men only," he says, "'ndthe
open shopper's opposition to that prac-
tice have thrust the hiring feature of
the closed shop into such a conspicuous
position in the public eye that discharge
and jurisdiction are almost overlooked."
Jurisdiction in this sense relates to
the occupations or jobs over which the
union claims authority, as distin-
guished fhon, the geographical area
in which the union conducts its
activitias.
While the closed shop is a defensive
mechanism to protect the worker
against employer opposition and dis-
crimination, and against non-union
competition, it is more than that. In
many citr stances it is an indis-
pensabeh ins..n.menI of eolletive bar-
gelin g, and in ,nost it is the efficient
cans of uit ,g wIorkers and employ
er's it peFre for their own and society's
benefit. But the collective bargaining
feature is the key to the formidable
opposition to the closed shop in the
United States.
N.A. M., ORACLE OF MORALITY?
By the close of the nineteenth ceon
try, industrialism had become well
established in the United States. But
so was the National Association of
Manufacturers, In 1903 the N. A. M,
decided that organized labor was be-
coming too aggressive. Although the
dcosed shop principle had heretofore
tome to he an accepted and expanding
character of unionism since before the
American Revolution, the N. A. M.
began advocating the "open shop" and
popularized the term closed shop,
stigmatizing it as an alien practice.

WAGE STABILIZATION BOARD
fa'w co'Ioc
HE new Wage Stabilization Board
began functioning July 1, by order
of the President of the United States.
The Building Trade Unions of the Amer-
ican Federation of Labor, with If50,000
members voluntarily agreed to stabilize
wages for the duration as an action to
implement the President's appeal to pre-
vent inflation. Their repiesentatives,
meeting with Secretary of Labor Frances
Perkins, declared they took action be-
cause they recognized "the danger of
drastic inflation due to rapid and un-
controlled increases in prices of commod-
ities and to assist in effectuating the
seven points outlined by President Roose-
velt in his message to Congress."
BY FORMAL AGREEMENT
The action was formalized ill the fol-
lowing lmenoraindu, of agrement be-
tween the War and Navy Departments,
Federal Works Administration, Na-
tional Housing Administration, Recon-
struction Finance Corporation, and the
Maritime Commission, the government
agencies in charge of war building and
construction work and the unions:
"It is agreed between the contracting
agencies of the United S'ates Govern-
meat and the Building and (onstruction
Trades Department of the Aime, i.an Fed -
eration of Labor that, on all war con-
struction work done for or financed by
the United States (except non-federal

wage rates) in the continental United

vided, all renewals of collective bargain

a/SYNTHETIC RUBBER
INETY-EIGHT per cent of our en-
tierubb supply came from, the
Far Eastupun til a few short months
ago. Today it is all in German and Jap-
anese hands,. Almiost overnight it became
necessary to find some substitute to meet
our military and minimum civilian needs.
Synthetic rubber can be made fronm
pr actically any known substanec from
milkweed and dead cats to sugar, grain
and oil. The fight for the conrdol of this
new industry, surrounded by alt aira
of frenzied affluence, devolves into a scrap
which has on one aide the Roekefelle,-
dominated Standard Oil Company and its
subsidiary commercial alcohol firms, tile
Big Four of the rubber industry (U. S..
Eoodyear, Goodrich and Firestone) and
the duPont chemical and munitions
trusts, and on the other side the whiskey
distilleries, the farm bloc and the anti-
nnopelists.
WAYS GREASED FOR OIL
So far the oil industry and its allies
havw had the inside track in the govern-
nent's new synthetic rubber program.
Key officials, formerly connected with
major oil, commercial alcohol and cthen-
ical interests, and now olcupying de-
cision-making positions in the War Pro-
fattion Board, the Reconstruction Fi-
nance Corporation,. its Rubber IReserves
Corporation, the Army and the Navy.
have seen to it that over nine-tenths of
the proposed 800,000-ton rubber pro-
gratn was given to the large companies
whose interests they had at heart.
In 1929 Standard Oil and the powerful
German dye trust, I. G, Farbenindustrie,
entered into a pateit-pooliing carteI ar-
rangement whereby I. G. F. obtained a
monopoly over synthetic rubber while
Standard received a monopoly (except for
within Germany) over petroleu sub-
stitute products. The effect was the chok-
ing off of experimentation in aitificial
rubbers in this country. We content
were
to import crude rubber from distant
souree until]suddenly it was too) late.
Synthetic rubbers are usually mudo
from a combination of two artificially-
derived substances known as styreric and
butadiene, styr.ne forming from one-
fourth to one-half of the total under di-
fIweret formblae. Styrene, a benzine de-
riva tivo, is closely related to toluo], the
amazing basis of TNT, perfumes, dyes
and medicines. But it is over the produc-
tion of butadiene that the big fight rages,
Butadieno can be produced from pe-
troleum, from alcohol or from coal. Coal
has never been of importance as a po-

Cooperation With It may well be-it could be-that
Management labor and management will enter
a yw and fertile era of relations
in this country. There are signs that enlightened busi-
iyess men, aware of the advantages of collective bar-
gaining, are impatient with the antics of old trade
associations like the National Manufacturers Asso-
ciation. These business men are influential enough and
powerful enough to change the course of these asso-
ciations and bring about a new era of labor relations
at any time that they wish. We might point out that
an instance of this trend is the election of Tiqie John-
ston to the presidency of the United States Chamber
of Commerce. Mr. Johnston is a young man from the
far West. He has long worked in the electrical indus-
try and is said to have, in some directions at least.
relations with unions. lie does not bring ani axe to
grind to Washington and he speaks with clarity and
not with too great pontifical seriousness.
The fact is, trade associations have their logic, their
traditions and their precedents just as any other in-
stitutions do, and the elder leadership in these trade
associations is following the old so-called open-shop
policy (which we all know to be the tightest closed
shop ever in existence) in the face of nearly 15 years
of liberal legislation in this country. They are not
only acting as brakes on progress but they are actu-
ally carrying on a lmore or less subdued class warfare
in the midst of our great world struggle. In this sense
they are limiting morale and arresting the war effort.
Enlightened business men can do no better for their
country than to break with the benighted policies of
the ancient trade associations and move out aloun new
lines of cooperation with labor.
labor and In England during the war and de-
Social Security spite the war, Social Security has
been strengthened. In the United
States Social Security has marked time principally
because the workers themselves, being gelerally emr-
The Journal of ELECTRICAL WORKERS and Operators
plto ed, have lost sight of their own great stake in this
greatest of all New Deal policies.
The Social Security program benefits everybody,
but i is primarily a labor law. It should have the con-
Slilta it'est of all workers. It should have constant
p'ol ection frhom those who would destroy it. The fact
is that there is a strong concealed movement carried
mn by expert mercenaries to undermine and emascu-
late tile Social Security program. This under-cover
aitlack capilalizes the old states' rights sentiments and
selks to i ielt the chasm between states and the fed-
trli goverinmeilt.
NrD A strong lobby of slates' rights people came to
Washington early in 1942 and opposed the war dis-
placement benefits Act and defeated it. These people
greatly resented Ilhe taking over of the United State,
lEnaplivment Service by tbe federal government. They
coinsider this a wedge driven between the states and
the ia Lion. They did .. t seeml to consider the necessity
for the greatest efficiency during wartime of the Em-
ployment Service in close touch with top agencies such
its Selective Service and the War Production Board.
Labor should understand that even in time of full
employment and even in a full employment economy
such as the United States hopes to produce during the
war and after the war, there are still 3,000,000 unem-
ployed who need some kind of assurance of security,
and there are millions who need old age pensions. La-
bor should understand also that through Social Se-
cudrit many widened services, needed by people for
their removal from fear and want, may be provided.
Labor should wake UP to the powerful attack organ-
ized against the Social Security program and arm
itself for the protection of this great measure of social
;inae]irialtion,
Telephone In a recent arbitration case involving the
Workers telephone company and the I. B. E. W. in
New York City, the arbitrator made a far-
reaching statement: "The telephone company has an
invariable rule that it will not furnish telephone serv-
ice unless it owns all the equipment and controls in-
stallation. It has enforced the same rule with regard
to service to the local and stale governments." This
is a dramatic summary of the monopolistic character
of the telephone business. The company is powerlul
enough to lease out and charge royalties upon the
equipment isedl every (lay by subscribers, and also ap-
parently seems to have the monopoly on the services
utilized in the installation of this telephone eqitipmnIe.
It is powerful enough to enforce its rule not only on
private subscribers, labor and farmers, but upon local
and state governments.
There is a question, of course, whether this is a
wholesome practice for the consumer or for the comn-
mrunities involved, or for the nation as a whole. The

A strange, new phrase is goin mlound at
the Acme station, Ofttines yeu bear one man

Editor:
WVelIBrothers. I anl, alays lookilg fer
the latest news from WashlIgton i regarId
tro lablr,. but the news I receive. lost week
was the tops. Senator Clyde M. Reed of Kan-
sas filed for the office of gove rpnor at 'opeka
lasi Saturruby and with his filin stated that
his platform was to help labor,
Now for the benefit of the Brathers who
don't know thi man, he is ri, r nor] Iore
Dhan the woest politician
an-laborthat can
le found west of the Mississippi River, lie
tel{ us tho he wants to help lahor, but it
lIhe same tine he sits in Washinigton atud
fights organifed labor every place hIe eal.
There is not 1he least doubt in my mind thai
Mr. Reed (mld not have his way in the Sen
ite, so he thought if he were to becane ph.'
ernor of KensiLs he p0tlid dictate to labor aI
ie wanted to. But I think that the more
sensible pepile of this state will see through
this scheme anir lie wou't get to l'st place.
lIe is one of the men I spoke about a month
r SO ago who iGtsin Congretss aid worries
l.mre about labor than he does ahout the wa
we are now in Then this nitin comes back
home with his poorlabor recrad ndasks the
whos Ic
h would liko to chop off
1¼,r their vote. Irothers, that is what I call
nerve. I want to ask theI rllhers ill the other
stalcs. if they have any friends in this state.
to please write to them anti ask that they
meet this man .. his own ground anid get
hinm opt of the race ill the prirary election on
August 4.
This man, is dangerous to the labor organ.-
zitioii of the state of Kansas. and we have
enough opposition in this part of the cun-
try as it iSenator Reed was goelinor of
this state onco hefore and he didn't thiink
eIuugh of labor t to even
hen mention it, So
I can't understanld why he hats takeui such
affection for the laboring nmnnow. I think
that Mir Reed ,ould do his country more
good if he would go home and retire from
puhlr life anId collet old rubber for nlii
armed forces,
Now a word or two in regard to our Iocal.
Our two fshermen, Brothers Dick Florence
and Ray Mitchell. cane bock from Missouu ri
without any evidence of any species whhals
ever. I thought from the way they talked I
would have pictures to show for their out-
insg Also out liiness manager,. Lee F. Hill,
has been bragging about the nuInhler of fish
hI' hits caught. 1,it no evdenlce th re, either.
There have been som changes ill the Ix

CLOSED SHOP MISNOMER FOR
UNION SHOP
(Continued Irom page 334)
In advocating the open shop "Is the
sine qla non of our industrial safety,
advancement and suprenmaey," the N. A.
M. descended to extreme and intem-
perate language. It shortly became dis-
satisfied with merey slandering union-
im as being opposed to the American
Constitution and the Ten Command*
ments. but falsely charged the A. F. of L.
with open warfare on religion itself.
From experiene and from other objective
studies, labor kTIows that the N. A. M.'s
actions were consistent with its intem-
perate language,
Yet the "spearhead" attack on the closed

relation to the preservatio nIf etereray ill

fnl co'rporations e.. pIloy.uig by pflothe largest

'[he C(hauber of [I Io.ere was uot a party
to the early attack on the closed shop for the
sinple reason that it wa not yet inexistence.
But Is should be expected it has since beaten
its way along the same well-worn trail.
Lest the impressein should be rreated that
oppnsition to the closed shop has become
merely a matter for historical study, it is em-
phasized that the struggle contintues in spite
of the well-settled, demoeraticaly-determ ned
public policy of the United States· The author
points omt that as recently as 1940 the Cham-
ber of Commerce voted 1,782 to 6$ against the
closed shop. It is alan approprihte to note
that the closed shop and any modified form
of union security provisions have "'en bit-

UNION LABOR TAKES LEAD
Organized labor's part in the civialan
defe~nse progran is growfing ever greater,
W*eare down-to-earth mlenl and
It takes lots of .u.h people to do the
heavy, many-detailed job of protecting
the population of a city under bombard-
ment. We will give our time, our skills of
various sorts, and our energy to the job.
In many cities labor has also made large
ing a major factor. In citie "hwre labor
has Been given representation and ye-
sp.nsibility, programs ale far ahead of
those cities where lab.r.. aiters and pol -
ticians still rule.
The nationAl Office of Civilian lietense
has singled out labor as the only goup
cliirihg special reeog.nithin as a group
vitally ionrertan t to the war erffrt. La bor
representation on defense councils
part of federal policy, which reads is
follows:
"The Office of Civilian Defense has been
directed, under its Executi-e Order: to
study and plan measurs designed to af-
ford adequate protection of life and purp-
erty; to plan and promote programs de-
signed to enlist fall civilian participation
in the wal effort, to meet the e mergency
needs of local committees arising from
the impact of the industrial and military
effort, and to plan and promote activities
designed to sustain the nt i onal o rale.
"In accordance with these .. a..iates
the Office of Civilian Defense has calld
upon labor to contribute to the full extent
of its ability in the organization and
manning of the protective servi.es, and
to join with other citizens in setwices di-
rected to meet co..nun.i ty problems. La-
bor has pledged its full support.
"The office of ivilian, Defense rec-
ognizes that labor's PIle in the war is
of vital importance to maximum pro-
duction. adequate protection of per-
sons and property and effective volun-
teer participation. Labor's responsi-
bilities require that labor shall be

As this issue of the JOURNAL goes to
press, instructions on the radio setup are
w'omienl. going front the national Office of Civilian
Defense to be transmitted to the loral de-
fense councils. At the taime you read this,
sonc cities will he calling for volunteers
to operate the War Emergency Radio
Service. Others may not yet have taken

If there is no representation of labor
is a on the defense council, or if the councif
shows no disposition to cooperate with
labor. Mr. Jeffrey, whIoU we have men-
tioned above as chief of the labor section
of the Ofice of Civilian )efense, would
like to be notified. Mr. Jeffrey declares,
"Great headiway has ben made

where labor is not yet represen ted it is
im.portant that the unions press for a
place on the councils. Labor representa-

the full community, the whole commu-

best interest of all.
"Once represeitation is secured it is
fttpratdit that it be taken seriously.
These are no honorary bodies. They are
w.rking units, planning and executing a
program dlesignad to protect the lives and

is needed,"

THE liberty of the whole earth was depending
the issue of the contest, and was ever such
a prize won with so little innocent blood?
My own affections have been deeply wounded by
some of the martyrs to this cause, but rather than
it should have failed I would have seen half the
earth desolated: were there but an Adam and an
Eve left in every country, and left free, it would
be better than as it now is.
