HYSTERESIS
Yes, It was old Brush Bi PDoor
Took a jigger In a joint
And so agitated his impulses
Almost to the breaking point.
Ils capacity for the juice
Was positive, ard no friction;
Noer drop did he re-fuse,
But kept humming with emission
His resistance stood the pressure;
Thens no lildt to his lead.
The keeper gave him a booster:
He just set, for an overload.
You'd thought he bus his,asings.
But not him, the oId buzzer,
Said he'd always know his bearings,
So his thirst he wouldn't dampen.
The impedenee of old Brush
Caused watt? Plenty of attraction
Too much service made him flush;
Jle wa, sparking in all directions.
Old Grid Gilbert, the barkeep,
Ergd him to please pipe down,
Too much lubrication made him weep;
Ye,, old Brush was slowing down.
The old rotor sure was hot,
lie was full to staturaion;
Choked to the core he got,
Ilia Iamps lost their lunhination
Brush said, "Governor, I'm goner blow,
Oh, watt's the use, In gan ohm!"
Brush fli-Polor could hold no more,
The limit passed. Ohl what a dome1

I am enclosing a poem sent to me by Lear
Haltsapple, destination unknown, a emlier
of the 616 Local of 1ed Bank, N. J. who re-
cently joined the Sea Bees and is doing his
part itn this war. It certainly expresses how
difficult it must be Ior the boys to write ary-
thing at all home.
HELLO AND GOOD-BYE
c'ant write a thing, the eensor's to blame.
Just any I an well, and then sign my name.
Can't tell where we sailed fr...
Can't mention the date,
C'ant even tell hlw many meals I ate.
C'ant say whore we're going,
Dfout know where wel Iand;
Couldn't tell you if we were met by a band.
C'aut mention the weather, can't say if there's
rain.
All military secrets must secrets remain.
C(ant have a flashlight to gLide me at night;
Can't have a cigareett, exeopt out of sight.
Can't keep a diary, far such is a sin;
(ant keep the envelopes your letters came in.

So I'll close this with just a pleasant goo&

A Slice of Buttered Bread

By

Our way of living is the best-

We like the special brand
Of freedom that we now enjoy
In our united land.
We have the chance to forge ahead,
The opportunity
To fill a vital, useful part
In our democracy.

We have the chance to voice our thoughts

'o heed a church-bell's call;
'To hear spring laughter through the rain.
And watch the crops grow tall.
With LWarm sun on the roof, the peace
Of starlight overhead.-
A pillowed chair, a lighted lamp,
A slice of buttered bread.

Our way of living is the best

Which we would always choose.
But we must strivWe for it. and fight
With courage. lest we lose
The dear associationsof
Our home; the right to keep
A safe place where a little child
May sinq himself to sleep.

Something
new under sun. Labor, business
and agriculture write on eco-
nomic program; other straws
in the wind
We have been brought together by the
National Planning Association to be mem-
be's of three of its Comm.ittees OiI post-
war planning: the business committe,
the labor committee and the agrieultuje
conmmittee. We represent no one but or-
selves; we have no authority to speak for
OUr' .on.pa.pie or ouL- organizations. But
by out occupations and experience we
think we .eflect something of the three
girat economic groups into which we and
most A mericans classify themselves.
In order to help business, labor and ag-
r iculture
measure up to their responsibil-
itiles and opportunities for building a bet-
teIr coutty for us all the National Plan-
nilg Association has asked us to help it
serve as a common meeting ground for
joint considei-ation of post-war proposals
and 'ogiams. Wheiev orignating.
BEST INTEREST OF ALL
Speeiffcally, we propose to look at the
policies and plans of government, busi-
less, labor, agriculture and social anded
ueational gr'ouI)s from our respt.tive
cinmitt ees' points of View; to bring out
tilt the 'pen any conflicting points of
view,; and then to seek mutual agreement
ont those elements which appear workable
and in the interest of all.
Our function inot SO much to create
n.ew p.lans as to seek out the best of post-
war planning from other sources. We do
not iteml to duplicate either the wo,-k or
research facilities of otheI organizations,
but we shall, if it seems advisable, in tiate
orilinal studies to tie end that knowledge
and utnderstandinPg may gIide our own
thinking and hell> us to view a trenen-

3. The basis of America's pIost-war
economy should be private enterprise,
with private business amI industry and
agriculture continuing to operate as the
people's priniary means for providing
jobs and producing goods and services;
with government per forming its constitu-
tional function of establishing the rules
of the game, acting as impartial referee,
and effcting fiscalpolicies through taxa-
tion andi ependiture programs, such as
public works, that will mesh witit private

must adjust itself to a changing world.

It is not too soon to think of, and get
prepared for, the adjustments which will
have to be made in our industry following
the close of the war.
The President of our United States, in
his foresightedness, is proposing legisla-
tion to stave off a catastrophe such as we
experienced after the last war.
Our own Cleveland Building and Con-
struction Trades Council, foresee.igs pos-
sible langer to the building industry be-
cause of the threat of prefabricated build-
ings and the urgent need for restoration
of prewar code-agreement and trade
conditions (which were only supposed to
be suspended for the duration of this war
at the behest of our international officers,
the American Federation of Labor and
our governI. ent, has selected a "post war
council" consisting of a representative of
various building trades unions to plan and
guide our action.
ELECTRICAL WORKERS
REPRESENTED
Brother Gene Redmond, who is assigned
to attend the nmeetings of the board of
business agents of the Cleveland Building
Trades Council, was appointed at my re-
quest to represent our industry. If and
when the Cleveland Federation of Labor
appoints a similar "post war committee"
it is possible that Brother Arthur Kohl,
who is assigned to attend meetings of the
board of business agents of the Cleveland
Federation of Labor, will be appointed as
our representative.
President Ralph Zilch appointed a "post
war council" of members of Local Union
No. 38 at our last meeting to co-ordinate
with thD "post war council" of the Cleve-
land Building and Construction Council,
and the Cleveland Federation of Labor,
if and when they decide upon a "post war
council."1

noted dispute seen against
background of industrial
history
given by the C. 1. 0. national president.
Phillip Murray, to President Roosevelt.
This unionis oft-uttered, feverish protes-
tations of patriotism and unctuous mouth-
irgs of all-out support of our country in
its supreme moment of danger are thus
shown up to he the insincere promises of
a faction which places ts own interests
first and its country's second,
But let the facts, the dates, the entire
record speak for themselves:
It was in December, 1940, that Mr.
hillman, then co-chairman of the Office
of Production Management, called a meet
ing of representatives of labor and in-
dustry where he explained the desire of
the Federal Government to work out sone
stabilization agreement covering wages
and hous and working conditions so as
to prevent migration of workers from
one shipyard to tlu other and to eliminate
all work toppages. Representing the
American Federation of Labor were John
Frey and Harvey Brown, president of the
International A ssoc iati on of Maefhinists;
the C. 1. 0. was represented by John
Gree,,, national president of the Marine
and Shipbuilding Workers of Ameriea.
STIMULATE SHIP INDUSTRY
At this meeting a subcommittee was
appointed, icitding Mr. Frey and Mr.
Green, which thereafter held many meet-
ings in an effort to work out some sort
of a program. M,. FTey then suggested
that the first conferences should be held
on the Pacific Coast. inasnmuh as the
Pacific Coast District Metal Trades Coun-
cii had since 1938 attempted to work out
some program which would bring about
a uniformity of w and working con-
ages
ditions in all of the shipyards on the
Pacific Coast.
This move had been initiated in 1938
in an effort to stimulate the shipbuilding
industry or the Pacific Coast, and because
the America, Federation of Labor rep-
resentatives in that area believed that,
with war threatening, such a program
was absolutely essential. As a matter of
fact, a committee had been appointed at
a convention in Vancouver of the Pacific
Coast District Metal Trades Council to
draft a coastwise agreement, and this
was then ready for submission to the
conference which was to be held in Long
Beach in January of 1941.
The subcommittee of the Shipbuilding
Stabilization Committee thereupon de-
cided that the first conferences were to
be held on the Pacific Coast. and that
because the American Federation of
Labo represented
r the overwhelming
number of the organized workers em-
ployed in the shipbuilding and repairing
industry on the Pacific Coast. the Amer-
ican Federation of Labor would represent
labor at such conferences. These actually
commenced on February 3, 1941, at the
Hotel Whiteomb. San Francisco, and a
subcommittee representing labor and the
employers was elected. Two C. 1. 0. rep-
resentatives attended the conference as
spectators only, and were not permitted
to participate in the conferences of the
subcommittee which carried on the actual
work of negotiation,.
At the first meeting of the subcom-
mittee the American Federation of Labor
-epresentatives presented the proposed
Pacific Coast Master Agreement which
had been approved at the Long Beach
convention; the employers submitted a
counter-proposal. After some ten days of
negotiations the conference adjourned.
principally because of an inability on
the part of the conferees to agree o,
wages, but resumed its work on March
10, at which time they were under in-
structions to consider the points with
which the government was particularly
concerned: wages, shilt premiums, over-
time no strike or lockout clause, provi-
sions against limitation of production,

E. F. Fiuher, general ma..ger, Fisher
Body Division of Geer!l Motors Co'-
poration:
,,OU doubtless know that the ques-
tion of personal absenteeism is one
of the most serious problems con-
fronting this nation's war production
plants today, It is growing more serious.
A staggering amount of man-hours of
work are lost each day as a result of
personal absence from various causes.
"It is our belief that one of the reasons
for absenteeism is a lack of understand-
ing, and understandably so, on the part
of employees as to why a plant may con-
ceivably operate at full speed for three
days and then shut down fur twu. The
natural consequence is an attitude of
'why should [ he so punctual at work if
they can afford to shut down the plant
right in the middle of a job? Why should
I work myself out of a job?'
"Perhaps, we should say, not only em-
ployees but many in business and govern-
mental work as well do not understand
such procedure.
"There have occurred in this and other
of our plants what may have appeared to
you to be inexcusable interruptions of
work. It certainly does not appear on the
surface to he efficient operation when we
work long hours of overtime, and on Sun-
days and holidays, and then close down
for a day or two waiting for materials
or necessary tool changes. Unless all the
facts are known, these constant face-
aboats may easily be interpreted as man-
agerial blunders, poor planning, or even
governmental ineficieiney.
"But we cannot operate, in war, on the
'steady flow' basis to which we were ac-
custoe..d in peace time,
"Frequently engineering changes are

ally changing conditions on the fighting
fronts. Frequertly oIlaulia] must

quickly transferred to other-and for the
time beingmore important projects.
Sometimes schedule changes must be
made in the middle of a day's production
to meet an emergency requirement,
"That is war. That is what we are all
up against. But let us remember that the
soldiers at the front cannot wait. When
the boys in the foxholes are running low
on munitions they can't take a few days
off to wait for mere. They must fire
every gun as long as it will fire.
"That is exactly what we on the pro-
duction front must do work to our ut-
most each day with all the resources at
ouir coninand. Material shortage may
have handicapped us yesterday; tomor-
row the government might find it neces-
sary to alter our entire program. Never-
theless our job today is to be on the job,
producing all we can the best we know
how.
"That is wartime efficiency. It is radi-
cally different from the accepted standard
of peacetime efficiency. Regardless of the
consequences, we must gear our produc-
tion to the ever changing requirements
of the men at the front-not to the con-
venhenee of those of us working safely at
home."

Coast a groat cry is being raised about
'absenteeism'
"in Portland, a survey by the O'egon-
tan showed that 0.9 to 15 per cent of the
workers in various yardM had failed to
show up on the average day over a period
of weeks. In Seattle, absences average
one-fifth of the total staff on Sundays, in
spite of double pay, and rose to one-fourth
the day after Christmas. Similar figures
are available for San Francisco and other
cities.
'There is a twin problem, quite as se
rious--turnover, One Seattle yard had tL
hire 25,000 men over a Mx-,month period
to achieve a gain of 3,000 workers on its
staff. In another plant, two-thirds to foru-
fifths of the employees in various depart-
ments had worked there less than six
months when the survey was made.
WORKERS NOT UNPATRIOTIC
"But it is useless to blame the shipyard
workers and charge that they are un-
patriotic, as the newspapers and maga-
zines have u.ually done. Capt. Eddie
Rickenbacker even. used 'absenteeism' as
a springboard for an attack on unions
and on the New Deal depression program.
Such statements only aggravate the
problem, for they distract attention from
the real causes of the trouble and create
bitterness amonug waworkers.

may be met by uncovering new sources of
apprentice supply. The principal sources

riceship committees believe that if a boy
accumulates leisure months in the first
three divisions of his apprenticeship, he
should stay a longer period in the final or
fourth year though he may be working at
journeyman's wages.
The Federal Committee on Apprentice-
ship has also set up a policy affecting ap-
prentices in the military forces. This
policy is:
"Joint apprenticeship committees and
apprentice supervisors should be encour-
aged to maintain close contact with ap-
prentices who enter the military services.
Every reasonable effort should be made to
have these apprentices assigned to mili-
tany jobs where their skills can be utilized
most effectively and where further train-
ing can be outained. Local joint commit-
tees can best judge the amount of credit
to be allowed towards completion of ap-

Service, with an urgent invitation to
serve as recruitmnt.. centers. This was
sent early ia April from the labor division
of the Office of Civilian Defense. The lo-
cals addressed included our radio broad-
casting technicians, and also radio service
men, SOuid and public address, and sound
technicians. The OCD hopes that InorTII-
:l.I.IO) men will form the backbone of
this service in all cities where they are
organized. Sonme locals have already taken
Ihe lead in getting the under way.
service
All (o.ni.nl.icatjons should be addressed
direct to the labor division, Office of Ci-
vilian Defense, Dupont Circle Building,
Washington, D. C. Extra copies of the
fact sheet will be sent out ais requested.
CALLING I.B.E.W. FRATERNITY
May we also call uponanother very im-
portant group, members of our. FRA-
TERNITY OF THE AIR (off the air for
the duration) to join a service of great
importance, which will give them added
plasure of enjoying their hobby again.
Soee of these men are not members of
,adio locals. They are advised to volunteer
through their local defense councils, or
to write the OCD labor division for the
fact sheet and other information.
The Federal Communications (oirnis-
sion sbares responsibility with the OCD
on this newservice, and has assigned to
WERS a number of frequencies, the more
important being from 112 to 110 naga-
cycles. In this range there will be three
bands of several channels each, up to 14
available channels. It is asserted that
there will be no practical limit to the
systenfls flexibility.
lieieare some uses, as shown in the
fact sheet:
l. One band connects the local Civiian
IDefeise control center with the district
cotro'el center and so reinforces the com-
n.unity's outside communicatkons.
2. A second band connects the local con-
tol center with local fixed points such as
wartelns' posts, fire houses, hospitals,
public utilities, and industrial plants.
3. A third band connects mobile forces
like fire trucks and emergency medical
teams with the control center. This band
can also connect with walkie-talkies.
With t ransmitters using no more than
25 watts input power, giving a comnnlun-
eating range of approximately 10 miles,
this service can operate wtihout aiding
the enemy, when more powerful transI. it-
ters will have to go off the air.
It can reach many points simultaneous-
ly. Forexample, the district warning cen-
ter can reach all local control centers; the
local centers in turn can call all warden
posts at once. This will take the place of
the cumbersome telephone cascade system.
Calls to one point can be heard by oth-
,er on the same wavelength, leading to
their giving assistance to others, or bet-
tor protection to their own forces.
The.enemy can't put it out of action. A
few sets may be destroyed, which (an be
replaced, but the system will keep aporat-
One of the greatest advantages is in
enabling mobile forces to heep in contact
with their base.
Among the strategic points in the corn-
mnrity which will be connected in by Way
of two-way communication will be hospi-
tals, industrial plants, railroad yards,
docks, bridges and public utilities. Large
industrial plants will be able to call for
aid, or to keep in touch with plant pro-
toectian volunteers who are equipped with

THEwar effort needs the enthusiastic
T support of every electrical worker in
America during this hour of umcer-
tainty. This is our war and we are going
to win or die, perhaps both. We are
humanlS, not machines. We love apprecia-
tion and we expect it. We live in America
and not in Germany.
Such thoughts were expressed in the
faces of our members who filled the audi-
toritn, of the Labor Temple as Mayr
William F. Devin, on behalf of the Seattle
Civilian War Commission, presented to
the members of the Electrical Workers
Union No. 77 a plaque as the War Com-
mission's award of merit for work in
restoring electric light and power service
following the recent sleet storm in
Seattle.
Seattle is the birthplace of the Flying
Fotress which is making history through-
out the world. We know what those flying
battleships can do to the enemy and we
weoe prepared to receive a fleet of suicide
planes from Japan when the storm came.
Our members came in from all parts of
the state; there were 50 men from Counee
and Bonneville; a line truck and several
linemen from Tacoma. We went to work

By FRANK FARRAND, L. U. No. 77
Men who keep
wires at Seattle to airplane
plants alive given proud recog-
nition
as though we had been visited by a
thousand enemy planes.
QUICK ACTION IN EMERGENCY
Service was restored to nearly all fac-
tories and homes within 36 hours although
it took two weeks to rebuild the systems.
Nearly every home in Seattle receives
service from the distribution systems in
pooto by Jebse K.Ib.r
two directions around each block. The
storm proved the dependability of elec-
tric service. There was hut a fraction of
a per cent of service interruption. There
are 30,000 all-electric homes in Seattle
that can't warm even a cup of water
without electricity, and over 78,000 homes
equipped with electric ranges.
A man living in a home equipped with
an electric range happened to be unlucky;
the wires were down on both sides of his
house. When he saw the primaries burn-
ing in the streets it may have reminded
him of following a gold rush in Alaska-
the stampeders cooking beside the trail
over open camp fires, so he cMt up some
wood or old furniture from the basement
and made a fire in the foot of snow on his
lawn and cooked his dinner. That was a
fineouting for the old "sourdough," and
it made good newspaper copy. We line-
men knew that it was a gross exaggera-
tion of average conditions.
One thing that was not exaggerated
was the ice-covered poles. Our most haz-
ardous task during the first night and
day was climbing the ice-covered poles
and cutting down broken wires dangerous
to the public. Linemen who have worked
sleet storms in Minnesota, Dakota, Men
tana, and Oregon vow that they have
never climbed poles more completely cov-
ered with ice than the 50 to 90-foot poles
that were climbed to clear primary wires
and repair transmission circuits that were
down. Hundreds of live wires burning in
the streets were dangerous. However,
there were no reports of accidents.
It was not generally known that the
transmission circuits connecting Seattle
with Tacoma and other p owplants
er were
down. Our men repaired those lines and
transmission circuits to war factories in
Seattle before men could be transported
through the snow to man the factories.
Air raid wardens having the authority of
city police during an emergency did a
fine job standing guard over live wires
in the streets.
VICTORY TOGETHER
As a well-known victory handbook,
"You Can Defend America," puts it:
"Civilian and soldier must fight shoulder
to shoulder. The battle line runs through
every camp, every office, every factory,
every farm. It is a daily battle. It takes
courage, imagination. You've got to be
tough inside. You've got to work hard,
think straight, and live clean."
A transcribed broadcast of the presen-
tation was given Saturday evening at
6:15, March 6, over KIRO.

Senator McKellar has not abandoned his bill or his

MeKellar's bill is in the direction of bringing back the
old spoils system. It would mean that every appoint-
ment in the government, whether it was of $4,500
grade or lower, would be a political appointment.
Absenteeism The vexing problem of absenteeism
may be reduced to tbe automatic rear-
tiok of the human body to overtaxing conditions of
work. The worker can no more help his lay-offs than
can the employer. Until conditions are corrected ab-
senteeism will continue, no matter how such persons
as Eddie iickenbacker try to hang the responsibility
on labor unionism.
Absenteeism is taking place in fietoeies where there
is no unionism. It is taking place in plants where there
are unions and good union conditions. One investiga-
tion recently made indicatles thai absenteeism occurs
most frequently among men who are working seven
days a week, month after month. The human organism
apparently cannot stand this.
Another condition reveals men isolated on remote
jobs do not even leave the job, but stay in their quar-
ters away from work simply because they cannot face
the routine every day of every week. Other factors
which are apparent are bad housing, illness, accidents,
overloaded transportation systems and lack of recre-
alion.
Little Woodrow Wilson, who was commander-in-chief
Me" of the armed forces during the First World
War, said incisively at one time: "Some men
are enlarged by the experience, others are merely
swelled." During the gruelling experience this country
is now living through, small men will be sifted from
great men. This publication wants it recorded that it
has special aversion for the following little men:
1. The man who pretends that he is doing special
service for his nation when he is really only represent-
ing his business corporation.
2. The congressman who waves the flag constantly
and voices the selfish interests of his large campaign
contributors in his district.
2. The senator who can find no good in anything,
who refuses to see the over-all superlative accomplish-
ment of this country in the last year, and talks about
little shortcomings and detects.
4. The columnist who thinks beating the New Deal
is more important than beating Hitler.
5. The citizen who blames labor for everything, in-
eluding snow storms, train wrecks and acts of God.

Eat From the interest manifested by the fact
Anyway that there is a run in every seed store in the
republic, it is apparent that Americans do
not intend to go hungry this crucial war year. Persons
who have never planted gardens are beginning to look
wistfully out of spring-flushed windows at sodded
yards and vacant lots. Old-timers at the garden game
are taking on new acreage and even the help of the
kiddies is enlisted in a campaign against hunger. It
may well be that the enterprising American will break
the vegetable market by mid-summer and flood his
own table with foods rich in vitamins.
While Americans may feel this great campaign for
victory gardens is prompted by compulsion, they also
may learn the joy of going back to the soil and to
simpler things. There is hardly any pastime more
productive of health anti happiness than gardening.
From the Gus Gilmour, a former apprentice of the
Tropics Brotherhood, writes a moving letter:
"Well, I'm one of the helpers who left
the local to take care of a little matter over here in the
South Pacific.
"The Australians are owed a vote of deep gratitude
for their hospitality to our troops, We had a week's
stay in a little town called Bendigo, just outside of
Melbourne, during which we all experienced the near-
est thing to our own home ever encountered. The town-
folk took us in like their own sons-many of which
were doing their share in Africa. It was more than
'doing their bit for the war effort.' It was to them
something more than 'we owe it to the Yanks.' Some-
thing he would go quite a way to find if he were a
stranger-even in America.
"The South Sea islands may well be termed as para-
dise islands by the travelogues for tourists' consump-
tion. I've never in my limited existence experienced
anything so remote from humane living as has been
presented these past months. I'm convinced that any
islands populated by hula maidens and tropical splen-
dor are purely the concoctions of Metro-Goldwyn-
Mayer in Hollywood. Any man who would voluntarily
choose to inhabit one of these teeming jungles must be
made crazy by going without a sun helmet in the heat
of the day. Really, I cannot understand how anybody
in his proper mind could like the tropics.
"Morale, in spite of hell, is tops among us. I am writ-
ing you during my hours of convalescence here in an
army hospital in the field. I've had everything that
they can offer in the line of punishment and have come
through okay. Tropical fever gets as high as 108, and
one is still able to squirm through it. Weight is my
only worry at present. Being unable to take solid food
during my crisis has reduced me to a mere spectre of
my former self."

that by .... bining the rationed foods in
your meal planning with a generous use
of the plentiful non-rationed foods you
will find it isn't so hard as it see..s at first
glance. Most people have adapted then-
s elves
to sugar and coffee rationing vwith
out difficulty.
For you and me, especially for wome,
who are trying to carry on with job and
home duties, too, rationing is a lifesaver,
since it means we will be able to go int a
store with the very small time we have
available for shopping, and find the sup-
plies we need are on hand.
The American housewife never s.ops
learning. When you are able to look back
even 10 years it is amazing to realize what
changes have been brought about in the
balances of foods we use, the methods of
cooking, even the utensils, and the refrig
erators and ranges. Americans do 1ot re-
sist change. They are ready to welcome
SOniething iew. Also, 'e have a wide cir-
culation of newspapers, magazines and
oven advertising publications which bring
useful information into every home.
In the past few years we have received
from various sources a pretty good work-
ing knowledge of nutrition, and I believe
almost without exception our eating hab
its have improved in response. Tomato

of the Vitamin C we need every day, and,
besides, we like it. I notice that milk as a

progress over coffee, ta or carbonat.ed
drinks. The group of greens-eaters is
growing. Whole-wheat or enriched bread
is available everywhere. But why go on?
We are nutrition-conscious due to a gen-
tie but insidious campaign of visual ed-
ucation.
There is plenty of this same education
available now to help you to be happy
though rationed. We're all going to study
and learn new things, and we certainly
are going to learn to avoid all kinds of
food wastes, in buying, in the kitchen and
at the table.
Your meat ration includes

cheese and cooking fats. Naturally, you
would like to use as much of this as pos-
sible on the meat, butter and cheese. Most
of the suggestions I have seen give an
amount for cooking fats which I believe is
disproportionately high, unless the family

doesn't do it you should be able to manage
with the drippings from yesterday's meat
you have stored in the refrigerator.
With most cuts of meat there is a little
fat or suet. Sometimes there is more than
is needed, and you should remove part of
it and either render it down by heating
slowly on top of the stove, or store it un-
cooked in the coldest part of the refrig-
eraLor. where it will keep well for several
days. Steak or chops may be pan-broiled

with some of the fat from the meat. Sear

then reduceheat and cook to the right de-
gree of 'deness' which may be deter-
mined by making a small cut with a sharp
knife. Pork, of course, should be thor-
oughly cooked, but many of us prefer our
beef rare in the center. Cooking at mod-
erate heat keeps the losses through
shrinkage low and it will also preserve
any fat rendered out in good condition
for further use.
A roast usually has some fat with it,
and where this takes the form of an out-
side layer the rut should be cotoked fat
side up, so that it will baste itself. A ten-
der roast should be cooked in an uncov-
ered pan, without adding water, at an
oven temperatume of 350 degrees. Potu

keep it from turnmig dark.
By carefully saving all meat drippings,
trimmed-off suet, etc., you will probably
have plenty stored up in your refrigerator
to use in frying cuts that require more
fat in the pan, such as liver, ground neat,
chicken, etc.
When no longer fit for table use, fats
should be saved and contributed to the
government's fat salvage program, but
the government is not encouraging
housewives to turn in fats which can he
used as food.
Never let the meat essence in the pan
go to waste. Make gravy--either thick-
ened gravy or pan gravy, which is made
by just adding hot water in the pan and
cooking it till the essence dissolves in it.
Any of the pan gravy vhich is left over
should be saved for soup.
You probably like your hot vegetables
liberally buttered, but that's not on the
program any more. Try dressing green
peas, carrots, snap beans with milk in-

milk when vegetables are ready to serve.

the vegetables. Try cooking shredded cab-
bage in boiling milk. It only takes 10 mmi-
utes and the flavor is delicious.
When you shop for m.eat, judge shrewd-
ly which cuts are the greatest pmint val-
ues. These won't always be the highest in
price. For example, round steak costs the
same points (8 per pound) as porter-
house, but the round has a much larger
proportion of usable neat. Flank steak,
at 8 points per pound, is an especially
good choice because it containsno bone at
all; however, it requires slow, moist cook-
ing to make it tender. There are good cuts
of beef stew meat, such as boneless heel
of round, boneless plate, brisket, neck,
and shank, which are
rationed at 5 or 6
points per pound hut contain little, if any,
waste. Then you also may be able to find
the variety meats, such as brains, kidneys,
liver, sweetbreads, hearts, tongues, which
are low in point values, high in the pro-
portion of dible meat. Most of them are
good "money valuesI too, and nutrition-
ally they are tops.
It is most unfortunate that rationing
of canned goods and meats could not have
been accompanied by an abundant supply
of fresh vegetables at moderate prices,
but in Washington and many other cities
there hve hbeen outright scarcities of
some items, such as potatoes and cabbage,
and the highest vegetable prices this shop-
per can remember on all items not covered
by ceilings,
Who's to blame I wouldn't want to say.
But again we have to shop shrewdly and
avoid waste. Select vegetables carefully.
The perishable kinds should be washed as
soon as possible and stored, in a covered
dish, in a cool place. An electric refrig-
erator and a "hydrator" box is indeed
helpful, because of the splendid long-time
vegetable storage it provides.
By all mBeaS, save the water which is
drained off cooked vegetables. Some of
my friends use this to make a vegetable-
juice cocktail, by adding a little tomato
and lemon juice for flavoring. I generally
use it for soap. At my house soup "ac
cumulates." I find that I have a cup of
meat essence, two cups of vegetable juice,
some odds and ends of left-over cooked or
raw vegetables. To these I might add fine

of a total of 18 broadasLting tsations in

This is a far cry from that day, five yea>n
ag., when with only 12 member, n,,ewly afllli-
tiLd, with Local No. 40, we witnessed the sign-
ing of the first I. B. E. W. broad.cast agree-

attempts,
each ending in failure,
to form an nndepen-
dent union. 1n 1933 the L. A. T. S. E, began
ain organizing campaign among the local
broadcastg sttittons, and qit, I number of
technicians from several stations became
members. However, their lnterest soon di-
minighed, when, after a considerable length
of time, and for reasons perhaps htst known
to the L. A. T. S. E., no agreements had been
signell and no benefits seeured for technician
mlemubers. The handing over of the broadcast
membership list by the L, A. T. S E. to the
Alnerictn Radio Telegraphers Association
climaxed the failure of this orga izing egort,

We have another senator from Kansas who
says that labor makes too much money, they
are not worth it, Now I have written this man
a letter, and I ask him if he didn't think
$10,000 per year was too niuch for him to
make. and if he really believ es i what he
says, that the country needed the mnenay, then
I thought that he should be a good soldier
and should give back to the government about
$5,000 per year, Tell them that he didn't need
the expense money, and buy $3,000 in boads
and try to live on $2,000 per year. But believe
it or not. I havent received an answer to
that letter!
At the last meeting Brother Jay Stewart
resigned as financial secretary, and at this
writing there hasn't been any selection made
to relieve Jay. We hate to lose Jay. he has
made a swell officer.
Everything is quiet on the front here.
Next month I will still be slapping senators
and labor-baiting varmints with all my night.

L. U. NO. 300, MONTPELIER, VT.
Editor: Gangway, feflas! ... push over and
make room for Local No., 300--about to make
e
on supreme effort to burst into the olutmns
of this JOLUNAl for the first, but not the
last time-we hope!
Local Union No. 300, with headquarters in
Montpelier, Vt., is the 1. B. l. W. pivot sor-
ing the northern part of the Green Mountain
State-that state which onecertain over-
enthusiastic, victory-flushed, wise-cracking
political faction had the audacity of designat-
ing as a foreign country back in 1942-owes
its youthful existence to the untiring efforts
ofInternational Vice President John J. Re-
gao, In ternational R Stein-
epresentatives
miller, Kenefick and Aker; and to the local
group who were charter members, Rene A.
Bachand, Myron G, Brooks, Lawrence P.
Clark, Francis W. Lao.u.ty, Clyde J.
Markey, Clifford J. Merchant, Robert G.
Miner, Gerald L. Roberts, Charles T. Tnbbs
and Charles L. Woodard.
The local first saw the light of day in the
month of Septeabar, 1939, and in far more
humble circumstances then that enjoyed by
the newly-organized
average local, not being
located in the midst of a densely-populated
industrial section such as existsin many
places where unions are born and where
scooping up an enrollment of hundreds in
two shakes of lamb's
a ail might be con-
sidered small fry. Nevertheless, despite this
handicap and further hampered by the fact
that considerable traveling had to he done
it order to contact the various groups of
prospective members scattered far and wide
throughout this part of the state, through
0 s'ientious craftsmen on earth."
the energetic efforts of Local No. 30 's busi-
ness amanager, Gerald L. Roberts, ably sup-
ported by a group of go-getting Brothers and
the international officers mentioned above,
Local No. 300 emerged most successfully frol
its trials and in a short time it had succeeded
in building up amembership that-pro rata
can well vie with the accomplishnents of any
local enjoying the goao. fortunes of said more
densely populated pads.
Starting from absolute scratch the local
now enjoys and rightfully boasts of a mem-
bership of upwards of 145 members. Ninety
five of these are employees of the Green
Mountain Power Corporation, a public utility
serving the length and breadth of the state,
This represents about 36 per cent of the per
sonnel of this company, consisting mainly of
inemen, operators, electrical and mechanical
maintenance men. The other meblers are
wiremen, linemen and welders in the employ
of electrical contractors or other private con-
reans, Tvwenty-two of the members are in
The Journal of ELECTRICAL WORKERS and Operators
the various branches of the armed forces
here and abroad. Many others are engaged in
defense projects throughout the land.

eat of Rene A. Bachard, president; Merton

recording secretary; Iral 0. Marshall, treas-
urer, and Gerald L. Roberts, financial secre-
tary and business manager, may well look
back with no uncertain pride at what has al-
ready been achievel during the local's brief
span of Among these accomplish-
existence
ments might be cited: A Brotherhood mem-
bership requirement in our agreement, sub-
stantial increases of what it takes to keep
the wolf away, more favorable working con-
ditions, promotions on seniority-aptitude

fits derived from membership in the E. W.

Constructive plans. though still in the em-
bryo stage and not military secrets by any
means, arc in the offing whereby Local No. 300
hopes to substantially increase its member-
ship. The field of organized labor in these
parts may still be considered virgin territory
with only the surface having been scratChed
to date, and with many groups of prospective
members yet in evidence, just waiting to be-
come acquainted with the benefits of organ-
ized labor before hopping over to our side
of the fence.
Well that is all! Back again sometime
with more of the doings and dones of Local
No. 300. Until then--long, everybodyl . .

L. U. NO. 313, WILMINGTON, DEL.
Editor: Let us give thought to the many
thousands of I. B. E. W. members who are
learning a new trade, namely, Axis Buster."
We know they will work hard and master
their new trade. In due time they will gradu-
ate to "Victory." These truths are self-
evident. But this is only one side of our
thought-
As these men go to war, how do they feel
about the home front and their local union?
Will they get the necessary materials for war
in sufficient quantity and on time? Will they
return, after victory, to a strong and solid
union? Will the local union be prepared to
help the returning Brothers rehabilitate them-
selves to civilian life?
We all belong to one of these two groups-
we who are going to the war front are
charged with victory, We will not let you
down. We are sure the other group will ful-
fill their responsibilities. These two groups
working for a common goal, have faith in one
another. This faith cannot and iust not be
broken.
As of April 1, 25 per cent of the members
of Local No. 313 are now in the armad fortes,

Editor: We have been among the missing
locals of late, but we have been by no means
inactive. Florida no doubt has contributed to
this war effort, in camps, bases and air fields,
as much, if not ,nore,than any other state le
the Union,. }owever, most of the projects are
completed now, and from all indications we
will have to traecl to northern fields to pro-
cure work. We were grateful to the traveling
members of the 1N'TENATIONAL BeoITHRIIoon
Or ELECTRIICAL WoekERs for their part in
helping us out dhring this period. Of course,
this ais nice part of the country to come to ti
the cotler months of the year, but we had a
number of visiting Brothers during the sum-
mer, when it was rather warm. This is an air-
conditioned state, as a rule, but sometimes
we have trouble regulating our controls. We

The State Federation of Labor had a very
interesting ad] constructive convention at
Jacksonville, Fla.. March 8 and 9. This con-
vention was very well attended and many
constructive measures were taken for the
progress of the labor movement in this state.
The State Electrical Workers Assoeiation
had a most profitable meeting at Jacksonville,
also. March 7 and S. Delegates were present
fro, about everylocal in the state. The re-
ports from the delegates as to their respec-
tive jurisdictions was most encouraging and
gratifying.
I'm sorry to report the death of two of our
Brothers within the last month, Brother R. P.
"Bob" Shannon, who died on February 18, at
Tampa, Fla., and Brother Joseph E. "Uncle
Joe" Bell, who died March 14 at West Palm
Beach. Brother Bell was one of the nmembers
who helped start L. U. No. 323 here, and also
L. U. No. 349 in Miami, Fla. lIe worked right
up to the time of his death, refusing to be
pensioned, by either the Brotherhood or the
Florida Power and Light Company, where he
was employed. lie was 73 years old. Of late
years he only attended meetings on notice ox
when sonin special order of business was at
hand. He was always given the privilege of
the floor, and in a few, but well-chosen words.,
he would give us some real fatherly advice.
He was one of the best known, best loved and
respected labor men in Palm Reach County.
There is much being said about post-war
planning, in local, state and federal circles.
The old saying that "now is the time for all
good men to come to the aid of their country"
ia more true than ever, lowever, it will be
well for all local unions to have a committee
one that will function, to make some plans
and preparations for the post-war workers.

Editor: Another month has gone by and it
is tune for me to give an accountof our local
affairs. We really have been busy these past
few months and our local has been augmented
to great heights. Besides our lIne department,
which ha. been organized for four years. we
have just initiated new members from, many
of the other departments of our company,
These departments include substation, meter,
dispatchers, engineers, storeroom, garage,
billing, payroll, building and accounting de-
partments.
We want to thank our international repre-
sentative, Mr. Cristiano, and our faithful
Brother and president, Walter Jarreft, for
their constant and Iloyal work that has made
all this possible.

COLORADO. Among the most drastic anti-
labor provisions of the bill as presented were:
1. Dissolution of all existing mnilens
in the hers of Local No. 697 gathered in the popular
state and compelling re negotiation of all
agreements.
2. Virtual destruction o the right to strike,
boycott, or pitket.
3. Elimination of the losed or uaon shop,.
4. Re-establishes use of injunctions in labor
disputes by rev.o. ig the statm Norris,-La-
Guardi. Act.
5. Rte-esabla]sles the use of yellow-dog con-
tracts as legal means of eiaxlving workeirs.
6. Grants power to Industrial Commission
to supersede courts of competent jurisdiction
iillabor dispute cases.

of confusioi should be cast among labor. We

There is at this time launched through the

that nions are--.un-America,,. We of labor
place our American way of life to live as free
non above all. Labor dow.n through the years
has fought for rights and privileges that c/t/-
seas of a decen dee ... o.ray possess and place
a value upon our citizenship, and accept the
responsibility of A.merit , right or wrong.
Why do w- have unions ? Because industrial
leaders spend milions fighting union repre-
sentaion. The piture of labor unions theway
the public gets it is all wrong. We of or
ganized labor nlust remember the future be
longs to those who prelpare for it. Good wages,
good working conditions are not handed down

lance, for a split second has been the cause
of disunity that has destroyed many hours of
careful plannbing. Ca elessness, lack of

aches. Your loyalty to your union

he should now display such ignorance in mat-

As a fighting American he is 'tops. but
he is completely out of his element when he
launches into a tirade against union labor,
Why cannot men like him and Lindbergh

the local has benI forc.,ed to accept the teelg-
iation of o.r president. os.,Žph A. O'Connor,
and the gceerid shop steward, Thomas Quig-
Icy. also the replacement of Agnes Long as
rhnp steward in Department E, Mable Erce
has taken over that office. It seems a pity to
the writer that any ienber could[ be so
selfish as to fail to applreiate the good work
these officers have dlne Ior the load. Their
untiring efforts in whole-heartedly defending
all nlenlnberf in whatever their problems were
has been evident for years back. It is the
earnest wish that each member will show just
a little bit more conideration and give more
cooperation than they have in the past. If you
can't help, donet hurt. WI are all working for
the some victory and should work shoulder tn
shoulder in the future. All this should surely
give the person or Persons responsible for
thesechanges something to think about,
Our local is being well reresented in the
armed forces, and our best wishes go with
each local Brother and Sister member (yes,
we have some girls in there, too., folks) as
they go out to dn their bit for Uncle San.
On February 28 we honored Mary C. Con-

The speakers all conlpliniented Mary on hbl

A sililar affair is to be held for Emma

wishes for good tuck, good health, an] a safe

shortlived, though, when the international
representatie arriveil to take things in
hand. In practically no time the dispute was
all sattled. One of our meimbers in the Army
knew nothing about the dispute, and I ran
inagine he will be ~urpzised when he begins
to get cheeks for bhck lay. (It.s I great mo-
rale builder.)
The members of Local 1f14 are about to
launch an extensive eampaipn to organize
some of the other radio stations in the state.
Before the war,. most of the stations in the
state were paying as low as $14 per week (or
should I sly giving them i0e cream money?).
Since the war they have had to pay much
better wages or go without help. If we can
organizei these stations no, there will hle no
cha.n.c far them to go back to the old wage.
If we do not organize them, it's a sure bet the
wages will go down when the victory is won.
And tell me, who can live oil $14 per week.
even in norman times?

The abov. matters, as, well s others
ordinarily considered and discussed in
negotiating a collective barlaining agree

tives did everything possible to bring
about an agreeenet between tile employ-
ers and tile American Federation of
Labor. Although taking no official part
in the negotiations, they were in the real
sense full patticipants, because it was
tihe governent who was finally to deter-
Iline the ages which these workers were
to reee.
On April 3 an agreement was reached
on all essential points, the goerprnent
representatives gave their approval, and
what is now the Pacific Coast Shipbuild-
ing Master Contract was ready for sub-
mission to the various locals affiliated
with the Pacific Coast Metal Trades Coun-
ei. Fearing that the unions night not
approve this agreeenSt, President Roose-
vlt issued a special press release on
April 19, 19411. urging their approval and
calling the agreement a definite step
forward in bringing about industrial
peace in the shipyards of the Pacific
Coast. After being approved by over 90
per cent of the unions on the Pacific
Coast, a further conference was held in
Portland on April 21, 1941, at which tile
agreemcent was finally signed.
In the light of what followed, eulminat-
Dig in the nearly incredible situation that
has been brought about, it is important
to point out that prior to the time the
Pacific Coast Mastr Agreement was
sitgerd, Mr. DIaniel C. Ring consulted Mr.
Millis, chairma, of the Nattioal Labor
Relations Bosrd. and Mr. Leiserssn, to
determine if the shipbuilding stabiliza-
tion program SO tirdertklrli "s in vio-

Act. The two ni..nbers of the hoard at

P. King, business maager a,,li fi .incial IIe-
rotary, L. U. 920, Ableflne, Texas, relative to
the date of entry of Marshall II . Jones into
miibtary service, anI h standing is ut the time
of he enitry imt. military service, warranted
the council in placing the name of Marshall
I. Jones, L. T, 920, upon our active military
eerd list.
The application of A. Earle folinlund,
Card No. X3OGJ8, ,. U. 1286, which was re-
forred to the cuncil by the Tnternational
Secretary for action. was approved and Broth-
Iloimlundb's name odleked placed upon the
active military card iat.
International secretnry Uugniazett denied
approval of an active military card for John
Budzinski, Card No. 816215, L. IT. 284, be-
eause the provisions of Article XIV, Section
8, of the International Constitution had not
been conlplied with by the member. Ihe ex-
ocuti'e council stai ned the action of the In-
ternational Secretary.
TPhe applications for henefits under Article
XIV, Section 8, of the International Consti-
tution (active military service), of T. Barrett
Schillo and Harry Berg, former members of
T. U. 1220, were denied by the council be-
stitution governing those cases had not been
complied with.
The action of L. IT. B-11, presented by Re-
cording Secretary James Lance, wherein they
protest the exlusion of L. B. IE. W. ieebmhore
working in the Merchant Marine Service
from participation in active military card
benefits, was considoerd. The council found
that the constitution, dealing with "military
service," does not permit the inclusion of
maembers whoare engaged in hazardous war-
time occupations, and who receive the benefits
of wages, working conditions and bonunesac
corded to employees engaged in industry.
The Internatienal Secretary reported that
there were 14,874 beneficial members who had
been granted military service cards.
Upon evidence which was presented to the
executive council by D. V. Jewett, business
manager, L. U. 13-465, which included excerpts
fromi the minateS of the regular aeetinge of
L. U. B-465, the membership of Tom F. Bran-
denburg was ordered restored, and hiL record
is to show that all l, 0. paymnents were made
,n time for the year 1942.
Each member of the executive council re-
ceived a copy of I hltteraddressed to Inter-
national President led I. Brown, f~rTn I. F,

The appeal of Eiraest B. Lee to thie Intera-

an increaseld payment to the pension fund.
This committee is to confer with International
Secretary Bugniaet, who will act as con-
sultant in the matter.
Duecto the fact that the E. W. B. A- is ex-
periencing difficulty in the state of Mkichigan,
on the amount of dues paid by members, which
might necessitate dhe railing of the premium
rate on our international death benefit, this
committee is to act with International Secre-

T HIS subject of management responsibility for absen-
teeism is practically unexplored territory. Scarcely
anyone has breathed a word about it to date. To
listen to most speakers on absenteeism, one would think
that the workers are exclusively to blame for not being
on the job. But I know of many cases where men reported
for work but were sent home because there was nothing
to work with-somebody failed to have the tools and
materials ready; somebody planned the work sequence
badly. There are cases where poor labor relations between
management and unions held up production.
