a We saw him wave a fond farew ell

'With upraised hand and tear-filled eye
As he bade his son goodbye.
Gee, but it's tough to see a man cry
With trembling lips and anguished sigh!
We watched with pride in our aching hearts
As this proud old dad saw his son depart.

What of those dads who now have men

Fighting aggression, greed and gain?
Dads teach their sons a humble creed,
Not to fight, or kill or maim,
And children learn on a bouncing knee
To live their lives in tranquility.

These sons are born of humble creed

They knew not of the monster's greed
Of world conquest, when in their 'teens-
Of war and strife and all they breed!

What of those dads who still bear scars

Of the last confiict-"to end all wars"?
Who fought and struggled in strife and pain ?
Some of our buddies still sleep "over there,"
And some came back to loved ones again,
Where shrieking cries and whispered death
Were soothed away on a mother's breast,
And lovers met again, to pledge and caress
A promise as sweet as a baby's kiss.

Mother, too, watches her son depart-

Once again she plays a part,
Who waited for dad-so long, long ago,
She waits again with aching heart!
With trembling lips she sees him go,
The image of dad, who made her his wife,
She gave him this son, the light of her life.
And mother kneels with head bowed low
Asking the One Above-why must he go?

Some day the world with joy will ring,

And sons will be welcomed back home again
Like "Mo." welcomed dad so long, long ago.

Freedom is not bought with gold-

Mother s and dads will tell yor so!

DEMOCRACY'S ARMY
Aaded
P UBLIC opinion in the IUnited States
will support a large citizen army of
perhaps 2,000,000 soldiers during the
period following the global war.
The size and extent of this army will
depend on the task thtat must he per
formed of policing the criminal countries
and in doing reconstruction work in the
shattered regions throughout the world.
Sentiment among Americans may be
summed up as: it shall never happen
again. This represents a newmood among
the American people inasmuch as our
nation, being a commercial nation, has
had a naive faith in commerce as a c-
hereat force in world affairs rather than
In the police power of armies. All this is
to be changed. Certain questions then
arise:
MIGHT WITHOUT MILITARISM?
What kind of an army shall the United
States have? What shall be the relation-
ship of this army to the civilian popula-
tion and to the civfiian army? How shall
the army he organized and how shall it
be sustained? Is th threat of what
used to be called militarism if such a
large army is established?
For nearly a thousand years the small
nation of Switzerland has had experience
with citizen atuies. Switzerland became
a federation of states in 1291. Switzer-
land is largely a rural ountry and it has
boen considred for centuries a thor-
oughly democratic state. It is made up of
Germans, French, Italians and a mixture
of other peoples. It is a sCall country
historically surrounded by enemies. Dur
ing this thousand years Switzerland has
had a military system founded on gen-
eral conscription and has produced armies
of great technical excellence without sac-
rificing any of the principles of democ-
racy. How far the Swiss people carry
democracy is indicated by the fact the
Swiss people have the right of refrren-
dum-any legislative Art passed by the
Assembly may be subjected to recall by
popular vote on the demand of 30.000
citizens,
With a population of slightly over
6,000,000 the Swiss have put into the

noted for its forces of techni-
cal efficiency. Bears on Ameri-
ca's problem
field an army of 500000 citizen soldiers.
If the United States should adopt a simi-
lar military system, it would have a citi-
zen army of close to 13,000,000. Here are
some of the facts about the Swiss Army:
There is no professional or stand-
ing army.
The only nucleus of the citizen
army is a staff of about 300 instrue-
toI.
All citizens are subject to military
training from 21 to 60.
Officers are promoted out of the
ranks.
Strictly speaking, there is no mili-
tary class.
SHORT PERIODS OF SERVICE
The Swviss Army* is a militia army.
The recr.its, numbering some 25,000, who
come up each year to do their military
service remain with the colors (period of
first training) only fron, 116 to 130 days.
Thus, there are in Switzerland no forces
permanently with the colors except a
corps of about 300. instructors. After com-
pleting their service with the colors, re-
cruits keep their personal arms and equip-
ment in their ow,, possession so long as
they are liable for military service.
Each year, about 150,000 in who
have done their service with the colors
come up for repetition traiing courses.
which last 18 days.
The Swiss Army is, a federa arnI. . The
Federal Council is the supreme head of
the military administration, and acts
through the Military Department, of
which the chief is a Federal Councillor.
The cantonlI military adminstration
is under the supervision of the federal
authorities. In peace time. the Military
Department assumes command of the

army. As soon as the ]evy of troops is
ordered or arranged for, the Federal As-
se.bly appoints a Commander in Chief
of the army.
READY FOR EMERGENCIES
The Swiss Army consists of: the first
line (Elite), the Landwehr, the Land-
s(...m and the auxiliary services; the
regulations of organizing the latter re-
place tUh provisions concerning the old
unarmed Lontdshurrm.
The new organization of the army, pwt
into force on January I, 1933, has intro
daced an important innovation namely,
the covering of the frontier, which done
by men of the frontier districts who are
liable to service in the first line tEiHe)
the Landehr or the Londslurn. Its es-
sential purpose is to caver the moHbiliza
tion and concentration of the arny in
case of sudden attack.
All male Swiss citizens are liable for
military service. Liability for service in-
cludes:
Personal I.,service-. military service
in the strict sense of the trm in the first
line (Elite), the Ladwek, and the LaHd
.st ~nfl;
Personal service in sonic category of
the auxiliary services;
Paymnlt of an exelption fee (mfilitay
tax).
FROM TEENS TO THREESCORE
Swiss citizens are liable for iilitary
service from the beginning of the year in
whieh they reach the age of 18 until the
end of the year in which they reach the
age of 60.
Men who do not perform servicep-
seoially must pay the nilitary tax until
the end of the year in which they reach
the age of 40. There is a special law on
the military tax,.
The age groups for military service
are as follows:
First line---20 to 32
Tandwehr 33 to 40
Landsturm 41 to 48
Mifen found on enlistment to be unfit
for military service, but who are able-
bodied, are liable to auxiliary service ad
are drafted into a category of the latteL.
The procedure tobe followed s laid down
by the Federal Military Department.
After completing their serviHe in the
first line (Elite), Landtceh, and Lrd-
sbtrrn men , are transferred
to th, auxil-
iary services.
The various categories of the auxilaly
220
servies are: the armed service, includ-
ing men drafted into frontier troop for-
mations, territorial troops, special Land-
#turm troops, etc., the aviation service;
the anti aircraft defense service; the pas-
sive air defense service; the railways
service, the electricity service, etc.
ARMS AND EQUIPMENT
Private soldiers receive their personal
arms and equipment free of charge.
As a rule soldiers retain possession of
their personal and equipment for
the whole of their period of service. They
have to keep themn in good condition and
are responsible for any loss or damage
due to their own negligence.
A ran's arms and equipment become
his personal property when he has com-
pleted his period of personal service and
has been discharged from the army.
Preparatory military training takes the
form of voluntary co.rses of instruction
in preparatory gymnastics, young nel,'s
musketry courses or preparatory courses
of instruction in the use of arms.
The preparatory courses of instruction
In the use of arms may be regarded as
preparatory military training in the
strict sense of the term, since their pur-
pose is to prepare young men fur military
service through physical culture and
musketry and field exercises. Such train-
ing is organized by associations of officers
and N. C. O.'s and also by unattached of-
ficers and N. C. O.'s. The courses are open
to young men from 16 to 20 years of age.
TRAINING OF RECRUITS
Recruits receive their first military
training at recruits' courses. These
courses are intended for the training of
the rank and file, and they also provide
practical training for the cadres. The re-
cruit's training lasts 160 days for all
arms; 130 days for the dragoons.
The repetition courses last 18 days for
all arms.
The total number of days of service
performed at repetition training courses
SWISS TEkRAIN IS A NATDTRAL AID TO NATIONAL DEFENSE.

The Journal of ELECTRICAL WORKERS and Operalors
(Elite and Landwehr) is 160. The officers
are called up, before the mlen. fr a co. r.se
of cadres lasting two days, and the N. C.
O's for a one-day course.
Participation in the regulationcourses
organized by a rifle cub is a militaw y duty
which has to be perforned by privates,
l ance-corporals
and N. C. .s of the first
line (Elite), Landwehr and Laadst trn
troops who are armned with rifles or car-
bines, and also by the junior officers of
these troops. Men who have performed
their military service are still required
to take the compulsory course. Only re-
cruits trained during the year areex
ermpted. The compulsory course must be
carried out each year. The Confederation
grants annual cash subsidies to these
clubs and supplies a certain number of
cartridges free of charge to the active
members. In 1938, 10.002,000 cartridges
were supplied for the compulsory courses
(307,000 men), the optional courses (135,-
000 men), the compulsory musketry cour-
se, etc.
Switzerland is under arms today. It
mobilized its entire citizen army in Sep-
tember, 1929. Special training courses are
being given and have been given at regu
Iat intervals in mountain regions, ac-
cording to the Swiss Information Bureau.
Each man knows how to pack his knap-
sack correctly and to carry supplies,
which enables him to exist and fight alone
in the mountains if necessary.
In Switzerland the citizen is a soldier
and a soldier is a citizen. When these
training groups go out into the wilds of
the Alps military rank is not invariably
the decisive factor. Climbing experience
is of utmost importance. Officers of high
rank work side by side with plain pri-
vates. Men are comrades in the nius
tains. Danger lreks at every cliff. What
type of individual the alpine soldier en-
trusts with the other end of his rope is a
question of life or death.
The first week of a military training
course is devoted to work in rocky ter-
rain. Classes are assign.ed to their huts
based at the timber line. Soldiers learn
now to knot their ropes and to handle
them generally. Gradually they progress
from mere rock climbing to correct walk-
nug on the rocks. But many Sundays
spent in mountain climbing has inured
the Swiss group to this training.
The second week of the course is spent
in mastering the eternal ice and snow
which surround the peaks. Soldiers learn
how to walk on ice. They are taught how
to save victims of treacherous glacier
crevasses. They are taught the use of ice
axes and how to cut steps in the glacier.
Weather makes no difference to the Swiss
soldiers. Rainy days serve a good pur-
pose. Bad weather is useful for operations
against the enemy. Fog affords oppor-
tunity to practice the arts of war. Com-
pass and maps are called into play.
The third week of the course is usumly
a week of tours. They climb neighboring
peaks, carrying heavy loads. Inaddition
to camping supplies each has a bundle
of firewood strapped on his pack. Warm
sleeping bags and the protection of some
rocks enable them to enjoy a good night's
rest. The student soldiers who distinguish
themselves in these courses are given a
special alpine insignia.
Closely related to the training formill
tary service is training for industry. The
Swiss military system being based on
civic unity, the Swiss selective service
usually sends farm boys into the cavalry;
mechanics, carpenters and men of simi-
lar profession becomemembers of the en-
gineering corps or the artillery; students
of technology into the officers corps and
medical students in the ambulance corps,.
Preparatory military training carried
is
on in the schools before the boy reaches
draft age. There is compulsory gymna-
sium drill and physical training without
arms. This physical training starts at
seven and ends at 15 years of age. Physi-
cal training is based not upon individual
attainment but upon working together
with his fellows. Discipline and self-
control are
taught. Map reading and tar-
get shooting are part of the school
courses. The cadet rifle in the school is
ati exact duplicate in miniature of the
Swiss army rifle.
The Swiss boy in the school works at
physical training from four to eight
hours a week and then in his summers he
has a course of possibly five to 10 days.
Until the time of his regular military
training, the boy is given special train-
ing in his village by non-commissioned
officers,
The psychology of the Swiss citizen,
however, is permeated by the need of the
defense of his country. This democratic
nation is never imperialistic. It desires
no territory and it never thinks of the
invasion of its neighbors. It exists pri-
marily to protect the farms and the
homes and the shops of the little country
itself. The Swiss Army is considered a
modern army of great technical effi-
ciency, and there is not the slightest sign
of militaristic spirit in this democratic
country which has such a thorough
going military program.

REBUKES BELL COMPANY
ROM now on there'll be a lot less non-
sense in the sprawling Bell Telephone
Fempire, By a unanimous decision of
the United States Supreme Court, one of
Mother Bell's more odious illegitimate off-
spring has been fatally condemned.
The occasion calls for rejoicing rather
than mourning for the sentenced creature
had for too long been a fugitive from
death. Its existence was a mockery of life.
It breathed heavily and its breath was
poison. Its function was more deadly than
the destruction of life; it was to suppress
life,
The doomed institution is the Southern
Association of Bell Telephone Employees.
a 2 4-year old puppet of the Southern Bell
Telephone and Telegraph Company. The
Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph
Company, one of the multitude of vassal
corporations of the Anmeriean Telephone
and Telegraph Company, though a New
York Corpoation, conducts its business
among the 24,000,000 people living in the
states of Alabama, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky,
Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee.
The Southern Association of Bell Tele-
phone Employees was the company's sub-
sidiary frI owning the freedom of its
employees.
The disestablishment of the association
accordingly emancipates some 20,000 Bell
employees from their long captivity.
NLRB WRINGS THE BELL
The Supreme Court's decision was the
latest in a seies of actions initiated by
I. B. E. W. International Representative
0. A. Walker' on December 17, 1940, when
he filed a complaint with the National
Labor Relations Board cbarding the com-
pany with unfair labor practices. The
proceedings furnish anl illustrative ease
study of Bell tactics.
After investigation and hearings, the
NLRB found that the company dominated
and interfered with the administration
of the association, contributed to its sup-
port, interfered with, restrained and
coerced its employees in the exercise of
their right to self organizatio, and their
right to collective bargaining through
representatives of their own choosing, all
in violation of law. Accordingly the
NLRB ordered the company to abandon
its unfair labor practices and to refrain
from giving effect to any contract or ar
raligeeneit with the coypanty do..inated
association, and to disestablish the asso-
ciation as a collective bargainig repre-
sentative of its employees.
In conformity with its time-honored
custom, the company together with its

and in an harmonious duet, denied the
charges. This capacity of the Bell System
for right, ousness is almost lbmitless. This
trait is especially conspicuous when com-
bined with an almost equally limitless ca-
pacity for material riches.
This combination of spiritual and ma
terial virtues in so high a degree is not
elsewhere
commonplace. Back in the su,-
mer of 1936, when the Scripps-Howard
papeis could still endure the occasional
liberality of such columnists as Hugh
Johnson, that worldly-wise commentator
noted h owemployers were interpreting
Section 7-A of the NRA to their workers
as meaning that the government wanted
them, to join company unions. One Alf
Landon, il those days a sort of man-
about the-country, endorsed that interpre-
tation. As "Old Ironpants" observed, the
company union can be controlled; its use-
fulness as a buffer against bona-fide
unions was recognized. And so, "the whole
face of industry broke out in a ash of
company unlions amnost overnight."
THAT OLD BLACK MAGIC
Batnot the A. T. & T.-enntrollod Bell
System. It wasn't necessary. That old
mistress of witchcraft was more than a
sore of years ahead of most of its con-
temporaries in conjuring the fraudulent
labor union. The Southern Associatki of
Bell Telephone Employees had been
created by the company in 1919. It had
been fostered, nurtured and liberally
financed until July 5, 1935, when the Na-
tional Labor Relations Act was passed.
Then the company was confronted with a
iifclity. It didn't want to violate the law,
but neither did it want to see its loyal and
subservient company union perish. Many
a lesser cutfit would have concluded, in
view of the clear terms of the law, that
these contradictory desires could not both
he accom.plished.
The company, howvever. steeped in A.
T. & T. tradition, tried to have both. The
apparent solution called for indirect
rather than dIect methods,. It was evi-
dent that the company could not lawfully
continule its gent 0oll Itnancial support
of the association, and it was equally
evidenit that the association couldn't exist
without funds. In spite of its ripe age, the
association was still penn iless. A mina-
mum of mental adjustment was poubably
oecessarvy to bury the old saw: "Why pay
dues?" T be
new situation was imet by au-
221
thorizing certain of the supervisory em-
ployees to solicit contributions of 50 cents
from the association's members. The
company aided the solicitation with ad-
vice, automobile transportation and ex-
Ilenses, not tlo mentioa leaves of absence
with full pay. That was no small aid, for
it should be remembered the company
operated in nine states. Moreover, the
Bell companies are champion collectors.
LEADERSHII' BY LACKEYS
This energetic "labor" organization
was headed by Askew, company cashier
for the state of Georgia; Weil, whose title
was plant practice supervisor and whose
duties included the clarifying and inter-
proting of l-ueti e instructions from, {lhe
home office; and Irs. Jane Wilkes, secre-
tary to the general commei'.al
manager,
later the company's chief personnel offi-
cer. During the canvassing of members
for "contributions," one of the district
tiaffic managers stated that the company
had supported the association for 16years
and that the least the employees could do
was give the>i contributions because the
company would he unable to interfere in
the event an "outside" (real) labor or-
ganization appeared on the scene.
As a result of this splendid effort at
'self-organization," the association sud-
denly found it had $5,000 on hand but-
unpardonable oversight-it had no treas-
uIer, Soe rs. Wilkes, the general secre-
tary of the association, was appointe 4 act-
nig treasurer, Which all goes to show
that where there's a will there's a way.
This period of industrious camouflage
included a revisio of the association's
constitution in 1935, subject to the ap-
provl] of the memlbers. The changes mus
have appeared wholesome within their
Iimits, for the association's officers ex-
plained them as "not affecting the opera
tions of our plan," but "desirable in that
they eliminated many references to the
coapany." And Mrs. Wilkes, secretary to
the commercial manager and secretary to
the association it was sometiles difficult
to tell in what capacity she acted-sent
instructions to the "local chairmen" to
get employees to sign meimbership cards.
They were cautioned to explain that the
form was not alt aplication for new
nuinbhership, but a continuation of old
membership. As was to be expect d under

LMOST no one in the United States
today has completely escaped feeling,
in some degree, the impact of the war.
Whether directly, as in the removal of a
loved one, or impersonally--as in the dis-
appearance of goods and services to
which we have grown accustomed, or the
gradual inching up of prices and depre-
ciation of quality for practically every-
thing we buy-the world's storm has im-
posed its ominous shadow over the lives
of even the least concerned among us. The
citizens of many of our communities live
entirely within that shadow every day.
In this nation the war's impact falls
most heavily upon our manufacturing and
mining centers where the essential raw
materials and finished weapons of war
are produced.
WAR JOLTS FAMILIAR PATTERNS
With the conversion of many industrial
plants to the production of necessary war
goods, and the closing down of others, as
equipment and materials are shunted
from normal channels into new war-vital
purposes, the familiar patterns of our
national economy have undergone tre-
mendous changes.
Detroit now produces scarcely an auto,
though its lines move faster than ever,
rolling out a steady stream of tanks,
bombers and bombs. California's sunny
countryside now is dotted with bustling
aircraft plants, while, strung like beads
about our coastline, a chain of long-idle
ways now teams with workers industri-
ously bent on building ships.
All together 4½, million more persons
are holding jobs today than did in the lat-
ter part of 1940.
Where do all these workers come from?
What will happen on the day when the
final peace whistle blows?
ANXIOUS GLANCE TO FUTURE
At the end of the war we shall find
ourselves with a working labor force far
in excess of any employed in this nation
during normal times. Moreover, the muil
lions who will then start anxiously
searching for new jobs will soon be aug-
mented by other millions, our heroic boys
in the armed forces returning to civilian
life. The smallest token of gratitude we
cohid show them would be full employ-
menrt.
Another factor of grave consequence to
postwar economic problems is an ahlost
inexorable trend toward the greatest
period of mechanization in industry the
world has yet witnessed. New techniques
and new processes await the resumption
of civilian production in many fields. But
the retooling and building of plants are
slow and processes. Further-
expensive
more, such industrial conversion is un-
likely to precede an effective demand for
the goods.
The cost of our unpreparedness for the
war when it was thrust upon us was ex-
ceedingly high. We cannot afford to be un
prepared for the inevitable postwar tran-
sition period which lies before us.
If we are to avoid a repetition of what
happened in the years following the First

is used as "guinea pig" to
measure impact of war, and
to forecast transition to
peace
World War and in the wake of the cata-
clysmic crash of 1929, we must formulate
our plans carefully and well in advance,
so that we shall be ready to fill the tran.i-
tional war-to-peace production gap, when-
ever that mom..ent arrives.
One of the first things we must do in
preparing such plans is to learn at what
points within our economy the impact of
the shift from peace to war has fallen
most heavily. We must discover not only
where the greatest changes have occurred
but also what the resulting strains on
normal life in each community have been.
In the postwar period we may ex-
pect each local situation to begin to
unravel itself-a process which may
occur gradually or violently, like a
released spring, according, first, to
how great the strain has been, and,
second, to what preparations have
been made to cushion the shock.
To these ends it is essential that we
scrutinize the effect of the war upon ,ach
productive area as a separate unit. We
must learn what the economic pattern was
in each before the war. Upon what indus-
tries did it depend? What changes have
occurred in the labor force? What has
happened to its housing, transportation
and other community facilities? What of
its future position in industry?
The answers to these questions are vital
to any effective program to avoid postwar
chaos.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics in
Washington has undertaken a series of
pertinent surveys along these lines. The
studies, conducted by the postwvar division
of the bureau's employment and occupa-
tional outlook branch, are designed with a
two-fold purpose inview: (I) "to aid in
the development of locally-directed pro-
grams of economic readjustment" and (2)
"to indicate the extent to which local re-
adjustment is related to the prospects for
high-level economic activity for the na-
tion as a whole."
FIRST STOP--PITTSBURGH
The first report of the division, recently
issued in the form of a working notebook
for the use of local groups interested in
war and postwar problems, covers the in-
5beal& a C 4
dustrial area surrounding the city of
Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh depends not only upon
manufacturing but upon mining as well,
and is thereby doubly exposed to the in-
cidence of the war. Steel and coal produc-
tion have been her lifelines for genera-
tions.
In the predefense year of 1939 coal min-
ing activities engaged 39,000 wage earn-
ers in the area, while 111,000 persons
(nearly 60 per cent of the area's 192,000
factory workers) were directly employed
in the fabrication of iron and steel and
their products.
Trailing far behind, with 22,000 em-
ployees (or 11 per cent of the total num-
ber engaged in manufacturing) comes the
next leading productive activity for the
area the industrial machinery enter-
prises. These fims specialize primarily
in heavy electrical equipment motors,
generators and industrial installations-
three-fifths of the electrical manufactur-
ing employees of the area work for West-
inghouse.
Thhid and fourth ranks among Pitts-
burgh prewar productive establishments
went to the glass and the food processing
industries, which employed 15,000 and
12,000 persons respectively. Together
steel, machinery, glass and food produc-
ton comprisied 84 per cent of all factory
labor.
STEEL RULES SMOKY CITY
These figures show how thoroughly
steel, with its corollary, coal, dominates
this particular industrial area n area
with a population of 2,100,000 people and
covering four counties (Allegheny Coun-
ty, in which the city itself is located, and
the adjoining Beaver, Westmoreland and
Washington Counties).
Steel. coal, heavy machinery and glass
production all tend to fluctuate directly
with the general level of industrial activ-
ity and construction throughout the na-
tion. So closely do the chief activities of
the area respond to similar demand fac-
tors that the whole district really operates
as a one-industry unit. Thus it holds an
exceedingly vulnerable position, should
we face a postwar collapse.
Moreover, the war is doing little to alter
the basic heavy-industry pattern of em-
ployment for the region. The Department
of labor's survey finds that at the pro-
posed peak of production, expected this
summer, a composite of 130,000 more
wor ers will be engaged in war industries
in and around Pittsburgh than were em-
ployed in those pursuits there in 1939.
The pattern then was like this:

GRAND RIVER P
Se&s Vp4 Wage Aoa 4d
t
HE Grand River hydroelectric project
is now operating under a new labor
Trelations policy. A wage board has
been set up by order of the administrator.
The setup resembles the arrangements
used on other public power projects under
the Department of the Interior. The IN-
TERNATIONAL BROTHERHOOD OF ELEC-
TRICAL WOR1(EXs is involved. The follow-
ing order has been issued by Major Gen-
eral Philip B. Fleming:
For the purpose of determining the pre-
vailing rate of wages to paid certain
classes of government employees at the
Grand River Dam power project, and to
enable the payment to such employees of
time and one-half for work in excess of 40
hours a week, the following procedure is
established:
I.
WAGE BOARD
A wage board, composed of three repre-
sentatives of the agency, one selected
from the office of the director of em-
ployee management, one from the oflice
of the director of labor relations and one
from the office of the special representa-
tive for the administrator, Tulsa, Okla.,
is hereby established to determine pre
vailing wages for similar work in the
locality of the project for persons em-
ployed by the government in the various
trades and occupations in the construc-
tion or operation and maintenance of the
project, excluding employees whose wages
are fixed on an annual basis pursuant to
the Classification Act of 1923, as amended,
and to make recommendations with re-
spect to such wages to the administrator.
IL
PROCEDURE TO BE FOLLOWED
BY BOARD
In determining the prevailing wages of
various trades and occupations being con-
sidered by the board in the locality of the
project, the board shall procure evidence
of the wages and compensation being paid
to and perquisites received by those em-
ployed in these trades and occupations
from local contractors, federal agencies
(including wage scales currently being
paid pursuant to minima established pur-
suant to the Davis-Bacon Act), private
industrial employers, and others employ-
ing labor in the locality, whether pursu-
ant to union agreements or otherwise.
Hearings for the purpose of adducing evi-
dence of wages paid in the locality may
be held when, in the judgment of the
board, this i required in order to deter-
mine the prevailing rates of wages.
Another
public power project takes
steps toward orderly labor
relations
Based on the evidence procured as to
prevailing wages and the perquisites of
employment in the locality in the classifi-
calions under consideration by the wage
board, the board shall make its recora-
mendetions to the administrator as to the
rates of wages to be paid to the govern-
ment employees of the classes above speci-
fled at the project. The wages recom-
mended shall become effective upon the
date they are approved by the adminis-
trator, unless otherwise directed by him:
Provided, That the administrator may
direct the board to reconsider any recom-
mendation in whole or in part when, in
his judgment, the recommended wage
does not accord with the evidence pro-
cured as to the prevailing wage in the
locality or when there is insufficient evi-
dence to support the wage recommended.
III
EFFECTIVE PERIOD OF APPROVED
WAGE DETERMINATIONS
Any wage rate fixed in the manner
above provided shall remain in effect un-

six-month intervals, beginning with the
effective date of the first schedule of
wages made in accordance with the pro-
cedure herein provided: Provided, That
the administrator may direct a review at
any other time, when, in his judgment,
this is desirable.
Unless ordered, the board
otherwise
shall be composed of the following:
Douglas G. Wright, special representa-
tive for the administrator, Tulsa, Okla.,
to be chairman of the board, with P. C.

The most joyful thing I know is the
peace, the silence, that one enjoys in the
woods or on the tilled lands. One sees a
poor, heavily laden creature with a bundle
of faggots advancing from a narrow
path in the fields. The manner in which
this figure comes suddenly before one is
a momentary reminder of the funda-
mental condition of human ]ife, toil. On
the tilled land around, one watches fig-
urea hoeing and digging. One sees how
this or that one rises and wipes away the
sweat with the back of his hand. "In the
sweat of thy face shalt thoueat bread."
Is that merry, enlivening work? And yet
it is here that I find the true humanity,

PERILOUS PEARL OF PACIFIC

Hawaii has been a territorial part of
the United States since 1900. It has swum
into particular prominence since the Pa-
cific war started. Many workers from the
American continent are enrolled in naval
projects in that territory. The working
force of the Hawaiian Electric is stable. Vistas like this bclie stark reality of daily defense and business activity In Hawaii.

TROPIC MOON PAIN"S NIGCT SCENE
IN HAWAII
KILLED workers, including electri-
cians, can find good paying jobs in
S Hawaii, and at the saue time advance
the war effort.
Today, more than a year after the
treacherous attack of December 7, addi-
tional Volunters from, a score of skilled
trades are being called to America's Num-
ber One Naval Base in the Pacific. So
urgent is the need, the U. S. Navy is
paying all expenses of men who have the
necessary "know how" to keeji the Pacific
Fleet "fit to fight."
The job is big. The work is of tmost
importance to the success of the fighting
ships in the Pacific. Needed are men who
can make the trip fromt the mainland
alone and remain at Pearl Ilarbur for 18
months.
SEE YOUR POST OFFICE
If you are a skilled worker in one of
the trades listed and want a part in one
of America's most essential civilian war
service jobs, you are urged to sec... full
information and application forms from
U. S. Civil Service local secretaries at
first or second class post olFices, or from
the nearest Civil Service regional office.
Applications are sought for positions
listed. Intermediate wage rates shown
are on a 40-hour a week basis with time
and one-half for all work over 40 hours.

EXPERIENCE REQUIRED
Most skilled trades positions at Pearl
Harhor require men who have had at
least two years appropriate apprentice-
ship or practical experience. Helpers
must have had at least six months of suit-
able experience, or else have completed
appropriate training in a vocational or
industrial school.
All workers must be U. S. citizens in
good physical condition. Men up to the vides facilities for indoor sports. The hall
age of 62 may be used, if they are in good
health.
Because of conditions in iawaii, mar-
tied men must be in a position to travel
to Pearl Harbor without wives and chil- cents, and all USe centers in and around
dren. After reporting for work at the
Naval Base, hoever, they may make ap-
plicationto have wives or other depen-
dents who are 16 or over considered for
employment at the Yard. Only in this
manner may dependents join workers at
Pearl Harbor.
Free commercial railway and Pullman
accommodations are furnished workers
from the place where they are recruited
to the West Coast. They are later reim-
bursed to the extent of $4.00 a day to at the Navy Yard become eligible for

LIVING
On arrival at Pearl Harbor all .orkers
may take quarters in the Navy's nonprofit
civilian housing area at $10 a month each.
Sometimes referred to as "Uncle Sam's
Biggest Hotel," the area is almost a self-
contained town with its own stores, res-
taurants, laundry, recreation building,
pont office, athletic Leans, dormitories,
and roous. New a are often sur-
rrivals
prised by the variety of services as well
as by the size, neatness, and attractive-
ness of the rooms.
The area is a half-hour walk from the
Navy Yard, or a few minutes' trip by
busses that operate for all shifts at a
fare of 10 cents

Large cafeterias at the Yard as well
as at the housing area offer food at
reasonable prices. Men may eat for as
little as $1.10 a day.
Men who desire a place outside the can-

o' two others at about $20 a month each.
Such apartments, however, are becoming
increasingly difficult to obtain, and living
costs in Honolulu are rather high.

E mergecy Peakage dropped by aracthute
brings aid to w ounrd sol dir..
WOUNDED Yank is stranded some-
where-, n a lonely Pacific isle, in an
Arctie waste or a difficult mountain
terrain. A plane circles overhead. IIe
knows his comrades have located him
and that a rescue party will follow. But
he is hungry, exhausted, faint from loss
of blood. The plane cannot lnd. Then
there is the white gleam If a miniature
parachute falling. It bears down to him
emergency
an package containing concen-
trated food, medical supplies, a blood
plasma outfit so designed that a man
alone can give himself a transfusion--and
a package of American cigarettes and a
flask of American whiskey. Both the
whiskey and cigarettes bear the union
labels of unions affiliated with the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor. Here is com-
fort for body and spirit, something that
heartens like a friendly handclasp.
Now we did not see the package de-
scribed above actually received by the
woundled Yank, but we saw it here in
Washington when exhibited by the Red
Cross, which makes up these emergency
packages, to a group of labor representa-
tives. So, unless the specifications are
changed in some way, when he gets it it
will be as noted, union labels and all.
SMALL, SIGNIFICANT SYMBOL
Through the years of its existence the
union label has become recognized as a
mark of quality. No matter how labor's
foes may blast and condemn, very few of
them as individuals would dare to deny
that the article which bears the union
label, in contrast with one that does not,
is something better, made under cleaner
conditions, and of more enduring worth.
The Journal of ELECTRICAL WORKERS and Operators
WOUNDED YANK qas

Wide activities
of Union Label Trades Depart-
ment, A. F. of L., penetrate
far in war effort
To the union man, of course, it is a far
more significant symbol.
The Union Label Trades Department is
the clearing house for all the unions af-
filiated with the AmericanFederation of
Labor that have adopted a union label,
shop card or service button to designate
their particular product or service. Its
chief aims are to advertise and promote
union label goods and services and to pub-
licize the various labels, buttons ant shop
cards so that they will be looked for and
easily recognized. Matthew Well is presi-
dent of the department and 1. M. Draburn
is secretarytreasurer.
In addition, the union label is now busy
helping to fight the war, and we predict
that its Tw activities will prove a mighty
builder of good will. The free smokes ca..-
paign is probably the best example, be-
cause how could you have a more direct
expression of friendliness than to give a
manl on the fighting front a pack of Aer,-
lian cigarettes? He sees that there is a
union label on them, and that there is a
sticker conveying the greetings of Local
Umpty-Steen of say, the Interna-
tional Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.
If he's a ouin man, and a large propor-
tion of our fighting ... n are. you know-
of course he's tickled to death and talks it
up to his buddies. It he isn't. a seed of
good will has been planted with him.
MANUFACTURER REALLY
COOPERATES
The folks back home hear about it, too.
As they listen to the radio programs
which Tommy Dorsey or Red Skelton put
on for Raleigh cigarettes, they hear an
announcement that Local Utpty-Steen
has paid for and sent so many hundreds
or thousands of packs of cigarettes to the
fighting Yanks abroad.
Through arrangement with the Brown
and Williamson Co., makers of union-
label cigarettes, and the Union Label
Trades Department, labor organizations
are able to purhese Raleighs for ship-
ment to armed forces abroad at the very
low price of five cents a pack. In orders of
$250, or 5,000 peeles, the company donates
500 free packs, thus bringing the price
down to four and a half cents. All costs
are included, such as a special sticker
placed on each pack with the name and
number of the local making the donation,
and an acknowledgment card in each
carton. The campaign flourishes, and it
ought to.
Another new service of the Union Label
Trades which has proved its worth both at
home and on the fighting front, is the dis-
semination of information on nutrition.
This knowledge is something that can
save lives and health. Three American air-
men survived after 34 days in a little
rubber boat tossed about by the waves of
the Pacific, and their survival was due,
partly at least, to the fact that one of
them remembered reading somewhere
that liver could supply the body with
nearly all the vitamins needed for health.
He caught and killed an albatross. The
meat was too tough to chew, but they
cut up and ate the liver.
Less dramatm but just as necessary is
a knowledge of nutrition on the part of
war workers, to maintain health through
these difficult days. Mr. Ornfiun is an
active member of the labor advisory com-
mittee of the nutrition and food con-
servation branch, War Food Administra-
tiom, U. S. Department of Agriculture.
Through his initiative, Dr. Mark Gras-
bard, an eminent authority, prepared a
series of articles on nutrition directed
especially toward labor people. This series
provided a welcome feature in the labor
press, thus getting the information to
millions of workers. It has now been pub-
lished in booklet form, under the title
Nutrition and Labor." It has been sent
to thousands of libraries and is being used
as a lecture course in several schools and
in over 1,000 industrial plants. You may
obtain a copy of it by writing to Mr. Orn-
burn at the A. F. of L. Building in Wash-
inLtro.
Another splendid way they have found
of getting the nutrition story across to the
worker is a. game, called "Vitamingo."
This provides the quickest way we have
ever seen of finding out whether you are
eating the right foods. A score card shows
in a clearly understandable way how
much the average portion of each com-
monly-used food contains in terms of
vitamins and minerals. The player scores
Iidmself on the basis of all the foods eaten
in the past 24 hours. You probably think
you are getting a well-balanced diet!
Chances are you'll be surprised, and find
you have a shortage in some important
vitamin. But with the information so
readily available in this game, you can
choose the foods you need to remedy it.
"Vitamingo" is also available on request
of the Union Label Trades, and we
strongly urge our readers to send for it.
REGULAR JOBS NOT NEGLECTED

HE tempting and illusory attractions
of over-simplification commonly lead
to confusion and chaos. Congress has
again been presented with such a tempta-
tion in a recently-introduced bill propos-
ing to establish an Office of Power Ad-
ministration nnder which the several fed-
eral agencies having to do with the gel>
station, distribution and sale of elec-
tricity, and the regulation of electric utili-
ties, would be consolidated.
The bill is H. R. 2754, iur .l. ced by
Representative Dirksen (R) of Illinois.
The first section of the bill would declare
it to be the judgment of Congress that it
is necessary, in the interest of efficient
and economical management, for all of
these functions to be administered by a
single agenry.
A recitation of the many agencies now
c.ncerned with the administration of one
or n.ore of these activities is indicative
of the existence of certain complications
which confront government iil a complex
civilization. But, to the thoughtful, such
a recitation, in itself, also constitutes a
clear warning of the probable pitfalls into

A SUPERSIMPLE PLAN
The bill, H. R. 2754, disdains to recog-
nize reality. In conception it seems not
unlike the student hungering for sim-
plicity who protests that the sciene of
astronomy would be much easier to under-
stand if the sun revolved around the
earth instead of contrariwise. But un-
yielding to such empty protest, the earth
and stn go their respective and-to man's
under standiang- onmplicated ways. Never-
theless, out of the intricate movements
of the heavenly bodies the true scholar
learIs with awed respect that the com-
plications do not result in chaos. .e learns
that "order
is heaven's first law,"
Even with respect to the limited funr-
tions involved in the generation and dis
trLibuton of electric power, the bill ig-
nores the sound principles confirmed by
long and bitter experience. The most cffi-
cleat managerial unit of an economic
activity is one which is no larger than
the natural boundaries of the specific en-
terprise. The origin and the application
of the Public Utility Holding Company
Act, aimed at reducing the irrational and
unnatural growth of utility holding corn
panics to integrated individual systems,
illustrates the error of artificially en-
larged and bloated units created for the
sake of falsely conceived illusions of
,conomy and efficiency. The history of
these combinations shows that they have
huI.n developed to a large extent upon
false pretenses and that their cost in-
vo.ves not only a Ios. in efficiency and
enoil..y under unidentifiable and irre-
sponsible direction, hut that the strue-
turte servedi alsoa a cloak for dis-
honesty.
The lessons of this painfill soelal ex-

JUNE, 1943
NE Sunday in May a news item was
flashed over the radio systems of the
world. It immediately arrested atten-
tion iil the United States. Stalin had
abolished the Third International.
The Thhid International had grown out
of the First World War and out of Bol-
shevist revolution,. ere is a quotation
from the resolution of the ConRmunist In-
ternational, announcing its own death:
"in the countries against the Hitlerite
coa.lition, the sacred dity of the masses
and primarily that of the vanguard of
workers consists in all-out support of
their governments war efforts in order
to rout the lfitlerites as quickly as pos-
sible and secure friendly cooperation of
nations on a basis of equality."
DREAMS OF CONQUEST
What appears to he remote politics of
faraway Russia bears directly on the
daily problems of American trade union-
ists. The Third Internationat existed pri-
martly for world revoluton. It had the
blessing of Lenin and Trotsky. It dreamed
the smoke dreams of control of native
labor m.ovenments in every. industrial
country by me.ns of cells owned and con-
trolld by clandestine co..unists. It has
been at work in the United States con-
sanstly siple its fun dation i Moscow in
March, 1919.
Scepticism prevails among Anmerican
tade uninonits about this an...o.nee..ent.
A merican rade unionists have becom.ie
aceastinwd to the fluctuations of party
line politicians. 'hey are aware that con-
mu/ists bare no guide to ,onduct (xcepZ
lust fur power tlowever. American trade
unionists take the posintet that if Moscow
is snIce re and nl off funds from the
pasty line boys in every countly, com-
munist cells, will have aIard time to exist
bee use they were able to raise little or
no n..mne. in I heir rspective coutrie.
The background of the formation of
the Third International alao contains
much of Aunemean history. Three organ-
izal ois should el kept in mind:
The Third Iniernational
The Second Inie.national
The Intirnaliinai Federation of
Trade Unions
Theseorgan.izations sholdd not be con-
fused witlx.in. another. The Third In
t,1rnationa] w.s formed Io supersede all
other internationsl labor organizations
and to give the cntinn,dSts control of the
word labor novenieni,
The Secoiid Intterniational grew out of
the teachings of Karl Marx and was
healed by socilists in every country of
Eulrope. It ose., too, out of the First
WorId War and existed primariIy to oh-
struct efforts of the miitary in winning
the war. It hoped il the iidst of conflict
to foml'luat policies that would bring
ahoul the quick for.al inn of an interna-
tinulal labor movneieat.

dialectics of Karl Marx.
Samuel Gompers. who gave strong sup-
port to tie efforts of the limited States to
defeat Ge(reay, tried at the same time
to bring realim and sense to an interna-
tional labor movement. It was his refusal
to cooperate with either the Second or
Third Internatioe.e that produced the In-
ternational Federation of Trade Unions.
The International Federation of Trade
Unions was already in existence. It played
an honorable part in the peace confer-
ences of Versailles It actually produced
the International Labor Organization.,
still functioning, which fn the First
WorId War to the .Seondl World War
held sessions in Geneva. Switzerland.

15, 1916, the trade ,nionists of England,
France Belgium and Italy met in Leeds,
England. These trade tnions wanted cer-
tarin labor clause, in the coining peace
tirety. The resolution went on to say that

GOMPERS INFPI ENCES THE PEACE
In December, 1916, the International
Trade Union Congress was called for
Rern, Switzerland. [towever, the Congress
was not held unti October, 1917, Gomipers
refused to accept either the Leeds or Bern
peace prorlam. Go...ers wanted a purel. y
trade union congless with the represeita-
tiws of the uniol in contrPl. From here
on Gompers playid an important part in
the formulation of peae plans. When the
Peace Conference met in Versailles, it
was decided in Januat y. 1919, that a coin-
mission on inLernational labor legislation
to formulate special labor clauses . . ap-
pointed. GCmpers played a large part in
the making of this eomn..iwsn, He kept in
close touch with the peace cnrissmoners.
He bad frequent inferern'es with Presi-

Gompers ,as appointed I 'nenlber of
the Commission on International Labor

large package for Mrs. LaFlamme, which
she didn't open. A big caddie av tea, an'

"You didn't forget Bateess," said Mrs.
LaFlamme.
"No," said Jules. "Come out wit' Jean

Bateese is." Jean put a few peanuts in
his pocket an' we wint out under a big
maple tree at the corner av the house.
Jean give a shrill whistle an' put wan a,

There was a brown flash in the stump

THE WILDERNESS FARM
We tuck a stroll arount the farm build-
in's an' I was s'prised at their massive
construction. The ground floor av the big,
two-story barn had five roomy stalls for
the oxen, horse an. cows. Beyant thim
was places partitioned off for a granary
an' for roots for feedin'. The top story
held hay an' straw. There was several
ither buildins. The stable, hog pen an'
chicken pen windows were high up an'
protected wid heavy iron bars! set close
tegither.
"We used to be boddered a lot wid bear
an' odder wil' animals," said Jean, "but

"I sure wud, Jean," said I. I wift back
to the kitchen an' said to Mrs. LaFlamme:
"You know, Mrs. LaFlamme, every-
thing in this country is different, an'
much better than from where I come

SOCIAL SECURITY
Ri/ 4s Cc znv
ARLY in June Senator Robert F. Wag-
Enr of New York introduced a bill in
the U. S. Senate that is a challenge
to reaction in every. section of the coun-
try. The bill is known as "A BILL to
provide for the general welfare; to alle-
viate the hazards of old age, premature
death, disability, sickness, nen.plnyn.ent,
and dependency; to amend and extend
the provisions of the Social Security Act;
to establish a Unified National Social In-
surance System; to extend the coverage,
and to protect and extend the social se-
curity rights of individuals in the mili-
tary service; to provide insurance bene-
fits for workers permanently disabled; to
establish a Federal system of unemploy-
ment compensation, temporary disability,
and maternity benefits; to establish a na-
tional system of public employment of-
ices; to establish a Federal system of
medical and hospitalization benefits; to

and aid the advancement of
knowledge and skill in the provision of
health services and in the prevention of
sickness, disability, and premature death;
to enable the several States to make more
ROBERT F. WAGNER

Backed by
A. F. of L. and supported by
CIO. Senator Wagner seeks
uniform social insurance
system
adequate provision for the needy aged,
the blind, dependent children, and other
needy persons; to enable the States to
establish and maintain a comprehensive
public assistane. program; and to amend
the Internal Revnue Cod,."
ALL LABOR APPROVES
The bill has the support of all the labor
groups in the United States.
For six months the United States has
been agitated by two reports that have
emanated (I) from Great Britain and
(1) from a government agency in this
country. The Beve'idge Report from
Great Britain, known as "the cradle to
grave plan" of social amelioration has
been a best seller in this country since
January. irThe
social security report of
the National R esources Planning Board,
covering paralBel ground, but not in as
concrete way as the Beveridge Report,
sought to do much the same thing for
the United States.
At the same time a new social security
plan has been introduced in Canada, and
Mexico has recently passed legislation to
bring social security to that country. The
fact is all democratic nations in the midst
of war have laid plans to place an ie-
ducible mninimu support under the wage
earner.
MEANS A SPURT AHEAD
The Wagner Bill has many marked
characteristics which, if they are ac-
cepted and become law, will place the
United States in the forefront of the na-
tions seeking to solve economic problems
by the social insurance method. Some of
the features of the Wagner Bill are as
follows:
1. FederalBzation of unemployment
compensation. Now the plan is divided
between 48 states and three territories,
making 51 separate systems.
2. It provides paying 2G weeks of un
employment benefits to any discharged
soldier who is unable to get a job after
being mustered out.
3. It increases coverage widely to in-
clude self-employed, domestic servants
and agrieultural workers. Thus this bill
makes the Social Security programal-
most universal
4. It provides temporary and perma-
nent disability benefits.
m
5. It provides for medical and hospital-
ization benefits.
The bill, which has had the scrutiny
of Irny social security experts in and
outside of the government, has had a
thorough analysis by the social security
committee of the A. F. of L. It is based
upon the contributory system plan, that
is, it moves as far away from charity
and almsgiving as possible. Every worker
pays a certain sum into the Treasury of
the United States while working to take
care of his benefits when he is unem-
ployed. Employers and workers are on a
50-50 basis. This means that every worker
becomes a stockholder in the greatest
insurance cOal)aTIy of the woddbIt also
means toat the private enterprise system
and its individualistic virtues a. e main-
tabi ned.
NEW PROTECTION ADDED
Here are the sections of the bill that
mark an .xuersion into new fields:
"Primary Medical ,ardHospitalization
Benefits
"See. 901. (a) Every individual, who
is currently insured and has been found
by the Board to be eligible for benefits
under this title in a current benefit year,
shall be entitled to receive general medi-
cal, special medical, laboratory, and ho,-
pitlization benefits after tile effective
date of this title. * *
"Maxowurn Hospitalization BenefiIts
"Sec. 902. The maximu number of
m
days in any benefit year for which any
individual may be entitled to hospitaliza-
tion benefit under section 901 shall be
thirty: Provided, however, That when the
Board of Trustees finds that moneys in
the separate accoun. established in ac-
cordance with section 913 ale adequate,
the Surgeonl General and the Social S,-.
runity Board may through joint rule and
regulation increase the maximum to not
more than ninety days for the following
calendar year."

Employers' There appears to be a strong basis of
Strategy agreement between employers and
labor unionists on the matter of free
enterprise. Labor unionists know that the free labor
movement can not exist in a totalitarian state. Labor
unionists also believe with employers that America
has been great by virtue of private initiative, by im-
aginative approach to industrial problems, and by
productive efficiency, Labor unionists are sincere in
their effort to preserve the free enterprise system.
Certain employers, however, are not so sincere in
their support of the free enterprise system. They
were giving only lip service to the system. This is
indicated by the policy of the National Manufacturers
Association and some big utility companies. While
they wish the cooperation of labor unionists in pre-
serving the free enterprise system, they are at work
in Washington trying to put serious curbs on labor
unionists under the law. These curbs are the by-
product of old thinking and of war hysteria. It is
a fact that the labor unionists have come nearer to
keeping faith with boys in the service than any other
group in the country. The no-strike promise has been
kept at considerable sacrifice. Labor has put up with
nothing but promises in respect to the control of
inflation and has allowed wages to be frozen in the
hope that inflation could be headed off at great ex-
pense to labor. Yet in spite of these manifestations
representatives of the National Manufacturers Asso-
ciation are pushing for curbs upon labor unions by
the Congress.
Of course this is only a piece of folly. These em-
ployers should know that they can not have their
cake and eat it. They can not cry out for free enter-
prise and then try to get the state to hamstring
labor. They are misled and they are hypocritical.
Way Out For Archibald Rutledge in the Saturday
Negroes Evening Post on "The World's Biggest
Negro Business" certainly offers some-
thing constructive to the Negro race, He points out if
you go to Durham, North Carolina, you will see a
handsome six-story building which houses the $60,-
The Journal of ELECTRICAL WORKERS and Operators
000,000 North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Com-
pany. He describes this business as the largest busi-
ness enterprise in the world operated by and for
Negroes.
The company is 44 years old. It was founded by a
barber, a physician and a dishwasher. Strange to
say the dishwasher, now 68 years old, is president
and guiding spirit of the company. These inexpe-
rienced Negroes had to feel their way in the insur-
ance business. Their first policyholder was insured for
only $40.
A white man, Washington Duke, the founder of
the great Duke fortune, encouraged these Negroes
in their business venture. The North Carolina Mu-
tual Life Insurance Company has its own bonding
company, its own bank. It has a beautiful clinic on
the second floor, completely modern, headed by a
graduate of the Harvard Medical School.
The company now has 700 agents, 375,000 out-
standing policies. It holds $1,000,000 worth of govern-
ment securities,
Charles C. Spaulding, president, believes that the
Negro does not know how to save his money and be-
lieves that much economic welfare for the Negro race
lies in thrift.
This is an epic story and one deserving commenda-
tion. This Mutual Life Insurance Company points the
way out for the Negro race in cooperating with one
another to build great cooperative businesses so that
they can become respected for their virtues rather
than unadmired for their faults.
Trade Union A revelation of how closely free labor
Unity unionists all over the world are think-
ing together is revealed by an article
in the TRADE UNION WORLD. This article is by
the secretary of the International Federation of Trade
Unions, Walter Schevenels. Mr. Schevenels says:
"In the social field, the Atlantic Charter being uni-
versally accepted, no divergence of views, at least in
principle, can exist regarding the following claims:
equal opportunities of education; protection of na-
tional health; a general system of social insurances
covering unemployment, labor accidents, industrial
diseases, sickness and invalidity, old-age pensions,
maternity and child welfare; in the economic field,
above all, efficient measures to secure full employ-
ment and diecent standards of living in all lands and
for all people,"
Madness In The national Congress and the state
Legislatures legislatures are the focal points for
democracy in this country. That the
Congress and legislatures may act wisely is necessary
to the successful functioning of free democratic in-
stitutions,. but of late years legislators have been
JUNE, 1943
showing a surprising amount of irresponsibility and
sheer ignorance.
Not long ago in a New England state, two hours
before the legislature adjourned, the legislators abol-
ished the civil service system. They took this action in
rank ignorance. Someone brought in a blimd bill for
the amendment of a certain section of the state code.
Without looking tip this particular section, the legis~
lators voted and then adjourned, and the state's of-
ficial family would have been thrown into a state of
chaos had not the governor had the wisdom to veto
the Act.
What the United States needs right now are bigger
and better legislators. It wants ment that do not act
out of mere partisan enthusiasm or political expe.
diency. This nation needs legislators who will bring
the calm approach of the technician, the professional
statesman to his job.
Education The United States War Department on
After War the whole has done a good job in educa-
tiom. Under the lash of necessity and
under the impetus of the war emergency, it was es-
sential to give rapid and thorough training to mil-
lions of men. Some well-known lay educators have
been acting as consultants to the War Department,
The personnel division of the Department has been
wise in the selection of teachers, and there has been
a rapid exchange of experience attained in the field
back into the ranks in the barracks of this country.
What our troops did in Tunisia is evidence of the
success of the training schools of the War Depart.
menrt.
In so far as can be learned, the method has been
one of vivid demonstration. The Ilepartment has tried
to simulate as nearly as possible actual conditions of
war in the field. Men expected to fight in the desert
were trained in our own deserts. Men expected to
tight in alpine mountains were trained in the Rockies.
They were trained in the use of the actual tools that
would be used and they were trained by doing.
This case method is, of course. the soundest method
of education- and educators at home should learn
from the War Department. The American education
system is antiquated. It is the most conservative
system in America and bends least it change. It
would be an excellent thing for American teachers
lo go to school to the leachers of the War Depart-
rolent and learn htow simple, vivid, [Iablratoryv methods
can hurry a boy along in his learning.
N. 14* R. B. The American Federatikn of Labor is
backing the Metal Trades Department
in its just fight on the parnisanship of the National
Labor Relations Board. This board has been function-
ing in a partisan manner since its inception. There
236
have been changes in the personnel of the board, but
the lawyers appear to be in control and changes on
the board do not seem to mean changes in policy.
IIfow bitterl trade unbinists feel about the actions
of the board is indicated by a strong opposition on
the Pacific Coast to the board's attack on A. F. of L.
unions on the Kaiser properties. The Labor Press
Service of Tacoma, Washington, nakes this comn-
Treant
"Unlike the two political parties anti such labor
organizations as the Railroad Brotherhoods, the CIO
is putting in a bid for power. It is one of the symp-
toms of the bureaucratic revolution. The dual union
()O is out for the disruption and destruction of the
A. F. of L. in order to gain absolute and undisputed
control of the entire labor movement of the U. S. A.
The facts in this case speak louder than words. These
facts have been repeatedly written into the record.
They are being written into the record every day at
the NLRB Kaiser hearing at Portland. It would take
a lot of words to cover up facts like these-and a lot
of nerve to try because the CIO big-shots have them-
selves admitted their intentions before the Truman
(Committee."
What Is What mirrors public opinion in
Public Opinion? this country? Does the press? Does
the radio? How does it happen that
the custom of polling public opinion has arisen in a
country where the preOss is supposed to do its job?
[low far short the press has fallen is indicated by the
latest survey made by FORTUNE MAGAZINE, the
(ie luxe organ of business men. For example, FOR-
TUNE asked its informants whether they thought the
performance of the new Congress was adequate. Here
is the record:
Only 25.6 per cent thought the performance of
Congress had been good.
About 50 per cent said it was fair and only about
17 per cent said it was poor.
If this poll is anywhere near correct, it surely does
not bring satisfaction to Congress, and it ought not
to bring satisfaction to the private citizen, for Con-
gress is supposed to know what the pIl)lic is thinking
and wanting.
According to this late poll. 77 per cent of the in-
fornmants thought the United States should play a
argeor part in world affairs and 57 per cent thought
that the United States should even take some part in
an international organization.
More surprising still, 80 per cent of those polled
voted in favor of more amicable relations with the
Soviet Union.
All this is contrary to the impression which the
press has been trying to create since January.

LOST art is being revived this summer,
and that is home canning. A record-
breaking home pack is expected, and it
will do a great deal to relieve the shortage
to consumers of commercially canned
products. If you are gardening, or if you
can get fresh vegetables at not too great a
cost, it's both patriotic and sensible to put
up as many cans as you can. Look over
your canning equipment and get ready.
New jars, caps and rubber rings will be
available, but ingenious housewives a re
planning to supplement the supply by the
reuse of coitlairat. which in other years
came through the home and went out via
the trash. Look at the jars when you buy
mayonnaise, pickles and other food prod-
ucts packed in glass. Many
manufactur-
ers use jars which will take a standard
Mason cap, 2% inches in diameter, which
screws down over a glass thread, You can
buy new caps and rubber rings to fit these
jars, and use them for home canning. This
is called a sze "70." There are other comn-
mercial jars which take a screw cap
slightly smaller in size-2 5/16 inches,
called size "63." New tops will be avail-
able for these, also.
Jars with a flat, vacuum sealed top-
the kind you pry off-,,n't be used for
home canning, but they are all right for
jelly or jam, which are given an air-tight
seal with hot parafine.
Bottles with metal tops or tight-fitting
corks masy be used for such acid juices as
grape or tomato. To make sure of a per-
feet seal, after the bottles have been
filled and tightly corked, dip the tops in
hot parafine.
Sally Smithers, down my block, is say-
ing beer bottles of the throw-away type.
She is preparing to make gallons of
tomato juice. She has a bottle capper, and
will buy new caps from a local bottling
works,. Of course the bottles must be
sterilized before they arm filled with the
boiling hot Juice, and then capped im-
mediately, but her husband is just as
eager for home-canned tomato juice as
she is, and he will help.
If you expect to can what are called
non-acid vegetables-which classification
includes all except tomatoes-or meats, or
fish, you must have a pressure cooker or
at least a water-bath canner. Some pres-
sure cookers are now being made avail-
able through local ration boards, to those
who can show that they will make the
fullest use of them. Usually that means a
sort of neighborhood canning club, with
the cooker passed around among several

families. With the cooker there should be
a cook book, with a time-table for process-
ing various kinds of foods, which should
be followed exactly. "Processing" means
applying beat after the food has been
packed in the jars, for a sufficient length
of time and with sufficient heat to destroy
all bacteria present.
Don't sniff at bacteria! Sometimes
whole families have been killed by food
which had been poisoned in the can, even
though it looked and tasted all right. If
you use the water-bath method for can-
ning non-acid vegetables and meat, you
are advised to boil it for 10 minutes after
opening the jars before tasting it, even
if you intend to serve it cold.
If you can't manage to get a working
share in a pressure cooker, you may
safely put up tomatoes and many kinds of
fruit using the old-fashioned open kettle
TIP FOR DAGWOOD
We note with regret that Mr.
Bumstead, of the comics, doesn't
raid the ice box any more. Cheer up,
Dagwood, and also you lunch box
packers, there are still plenty of
things to put in a six-decker sand-
wich that aren't on a ration list.,
Here are a few that come to mind:
Sliced chicken or chicken salad
Sliced hard-boiled egg or egg
salad
Unrationed cheeses
Chopped olives
Jelly, jam, marmalade or honey
Chopped or grated cabbage, car-
rots, celery, radishes, onions,
etc., with mayonnaise
Fresh pineapple with cottage
cheese (Ladies' choice, maybe !)
Cooked fresh fish or shellfish
Peanut butter
Tomato, lettuce, cucumber and
mayonnaise
Pickles, relishes, mustard, horse-
radish, steak sauce
Nuts, dates, raisins
Don't use the same kind of bread
all the time, Vary it with white,
whole wheat, rye, raisin, date and
nut, etc., and also by using white or
whole wheat buns, hard rolls, and
other varieties. Hard rolls
are par-
ticularly nice for juicy sandwiches.

method. This even has an advantage over
the newer cold paCk method, because in
the latter the food shrinks during process-
ng, and does not completely fill the jar
when finished. With the open kettle
method, you fill the jars full to the top.
Wash caps and jars in hot, soapy water,
and rinse. For the open kettle method,
the jars should be boiled from 15 to 20
minutes to sterilize. Dip the rubber rings
into boiling water before fitting on the
jars. After filling the jars with the hot
food, put the sterilized cap on and screw
tight immediately.
I am sure you will want to put up some
tomatoes and tomato juice, so I will give
you the recipes for doing it by the open
kettle method.
Tomato Juice-Open Kettle
Wash ripe tomatoes, rut in small pieces,
and simmer in quantities of two or three
quarts at a time. Do not use any water.
Cook until just soft enough to put through
a sieve. Press as much of the pulp through
as you cm, straining out only the skin
and seeds.
Bring juice to boiling point and put into
hot sterilized jars or bottles. Seal. Season-
ings may be added to taste while cooking,
such as celery tops, a bit of bay leaf, a
few cloves, etc., but most people prefer to
use only salt. A scant teaspoon per quart
is about right, Other .easonings may be
added when opened for use. If you intend
to use the juice for infant feeding, omit
the salt and label it accordingly.
Canned Tomatore-Open Kettle
Wash, scald, cold dip, drain, core and
skin. Cracked, bruised or otherwise dam-
aged spots should be trimmed out. Boil 10
minutes and season with salt, as above.
Pour boiling hot tomatoes into hot steril-
ized jars, filling to overflowing, and seal
each jar as quickly as possible after fill-
ing. kill and seal one jar at a time. Do not
invert jar.
Home-canmed peaches are perfectly de-
licious, and these also may be put up by
the open-kettle method.
Canned Peaches--Open Kettle
Scald peaches, peel, cut in halves, re-
moving stones. Add one part of sugar to
one of water, in quantity according to the
number of peaches to be canned. Bring to
a boil. Add peaches and cook until tender,
but not broken. Pack hot peaches into hot
jars. Fill to overflowing with boiling
syrup; seal at once.

L. U. NO. 1, ST. LOUIS, MO.
Editor: After a brief vacation Local No. I
will start to r'tappear in the correspondence
of our Jul RNA*L.
Contrary to my thoughts in the past, we
find the A. F. of L. tradesmen right bark in
the groove on their jobs. This goes to show
that: Too aniny hours worked is just as die-
gusting as too few hours of working. Thl
men have not forgotten how to do theni best
and to all the tricks of theiltrade to keep
use
the good name our unions have always hlad.
What's more, they have learned nmany new
tricks to make their labors
more easy. Lovers
of 'LIGIT' Work" is having a different mean-
ing to aniy- i e.-using their heads instead
of their backs.
St. Loui, is still enjoying prosperity and
all have harksecounts and are buying War
Boends every week. It is quite different rail,
the fst war., We are all enjoying the right
to choose the labor, religious, and social
rights this great country of ours affords.
We are all thankful for our freedom, and

L. U. NO. 3, NEW YORK, N. Y.
Editor: Please publish the following con-
tribution from Brother Frederick V. Mich, an
officer of or edueational committee.
Since our last letter eventful things hnve
taken place, the Axis has been mnopped Up
in Africa, the Japs are cornered like rats in a
trap on the isWlnd of Allt in the Aleo'Sorss;
Yamsanmoto, the rap who was going to dictate
peace terms in the White House, isdead. prob-
ably murdered by his own kind, but the pay-
as-you-go tax pan,, is still being kicked
arounld by Congress,
Whatever Congress may do, between now
and bhe time our JOIIZNAL comes out, by way
of passing any version of the Rura-Carlson
bill, will ean that the tax payers in the lower
brackets are again getting it in the neck.
TheR obertso,-Forand bill, passed by the
louse, would be the fairest method proposed
to date. iowever, space is limited and a Iln,
dlisussion of this subject now may be water
over the danl when and if this appears in
print. so we will hope that none of til
Brothers arr taken in by the newspapr
propagonda or by the false logic that says.
'Whet id I care if the millionaire is forgiven
a million dollars if I am forgiven my $5,007"
Thne Sai must have that million dollars and
if he doesn't get it from the man who ean,
best afford it. then he will have to take a lot
of $500 to make up that milIlion.
We see by the papers that J. L Lewis is try-
tisR to duck out fron. under, by crawling back
into the A. F of L. It i our greatest wish
that the day lbenot far distant when nil labor
will l under one banner, yet we cannot
ogain
help nistrusting thit this move of LewWs is
more for the purpose of saving Lewis' hide
than for the benefit of the mineworkers or
organized labor in general,. Therefore, it is
this writer's hope that as far as Lewis per-
o nLet st
sonolly is concerned the A. F. of L. council
will give him the same terms that the Axis
got in Tunisia, 'unconditional surrender,"
When we road in the newspapers and hear
over the radio of the various efforts being
made to mlake this a better world to live in.,
and then try to get the reaction of the aver-
tge individual, we almost become convinced
that the only better world most of themn want
ia one in which each individual has special
privilege while the other fellow takes what
is left, How much longer must we wait for
nemibers of organized labor to realize what
the real meaning of unionism is? When will
they realize that every time they decry the
efforts of union officials and public officials to
get better conditions because , they
are not
100 per cent successful, that they
are making
ammunition for their own enemies? A little
aelf anayscis would show these individuals
that they themselves are probably far from
being 100 per cent in unionism or anything
else, which fact is true of all of us, with the
difference that some will admit their short-
COindgs and make allowance for the other
follow.
We have In mind, as an exiaple, the dis
appointed office seeker who, because he cannot
dictate policies, deliberately sets out to op-
pose everything that the duly-elected oreials
set out to io. We also have the individual who
enjoys to the fullest the conditions brought
about by others, yet opposes organizing the
unorganized because he fears "they will take
our jobs away from us." The enemies of labor
are using the war as a pretext to club labor
to its knees with legislation and false propa-
ganda, yet these above mentioned individuals
continue to live in a fool's paradise, forgetting
the new version of an old axiom, 'it we dontt
hang together we will hang separately."
Buy War Bonds to furnish bonds to bind
the Axis.

I was surprised to see an ad in the papers
win-re oune of the New York contractors was
looking for electricians and helpers to go
to work in the shipyards in Califors, in, not
asking if they were union men or not. Quite
ai ftw of the permanent men we had around

here left for New York to try to get on
the job, It seems there are plenty of up-
employed I. B. E. W. men traveling from
place to place who won't be looking for jObs
like that if they only knew about it, You
would not want a nicer climate to work it
than the State of Califoriia.
I would like to see a section of the

an, the ondlitions of the different jobs.
Around Springfield things are very quiet
One of our big jobs has shut down for how
long no one knows, but we hope it will open
up very soon so none of the boys will have to
go traveling. We still have a few traveling
around the country so we hope they will
keep in contact with our business manager,
Charles Caifroy, so the mebers here may
know how they are coming along,

L. U. NO. 8, TOLEDO, 01110
Editor: On the occasion of Local No. 8's
forty eighth birthday we had the privilege
of honoring one of the older members of the
I. II. E. W., and a past officer of Local No. S
who has retired on pension, Brother Chris
Mcoullough. Chris was initiated at Seetont
Pa., Local No, 81, in 1894. From there ho
wnt to Chicago Local No. 9, then to Toledo
In 1896, where he joined the combinad Locals
Nes. 245 and 8. Then getting restless again
he went on the road for a constretion com-
pany, returning to Toledo in 1902 and join-
ing Local No. 245. He decided to stay in
Toledo and make his home here, so in 100
he joined Local No. 8 and has remained a
true and loyal me untitiring
ber on pen-
sion. We took this opportunity to present
him with a chair for his comfort, to reIeert-
her his boys while resting and reading the
JOUnNAl.
This occasion took place Marh 27, 1943,
in the ball room of the }otel Seore r An
elaborate dinner was served to about 400
iiemhers andt who were given a hearty
guests
welcome by our president. Frank Fischer,.
The toastmaster of the evening was Judge
Parker Edwards of the Municipai Court. who
was presented by Brother Oliver Meyers,.
Other honored guests were Judge Edgar Nor-
ris antd Landon Hall of the Municipal Court;
Clarence Hammer, secretary of the Contrac-
tors' Association: William Sturm, regional
diretor of lhe American Federation of Labor;
Brothers Arthur Bennett international
. vice
president, and William Wilson, o rganiz.er of
the 1. B. E. W., who all gave us short but
enlightening talks. Our honored meimnber,
Chris Mecoullough, then spoke of his past
experiences during his long membership of
the I. B. E, W. Other notables present were
members of the Contractors' Association,
supply dealers and members of the Electrical
Inspection Department.
At this time 30 members of Local No., 8
having 25 years of continuous good standing
were presented with 25-year buttons by
President Frank Fischer and Treasurer Ar-
Lhur Lan,.
Taps were sounded for our late Brother,
Slud Kingur, who gave his lite for our
country, at which time we revered him by
standing for one minute in silent prayer. The

This was followed by singing of patriotic
songs and a fine floor show presented by Paul

more precious", since posterity must inherit
something.
The "bugbear" jab classification came up
for attention. A member traced the origin
and growth of the "Frankensteln" as to-
relative with the unscientific personnel mon-
ager idea which has contributed nothing to
the well helig of management, public, or
labor. This lethal child of the modern pagan-
isr has been endured by free men (or are
we?) all too long and supinely. Its intent is
penal and slavish, utterly opposed to the
Christian concept of human nature.
It is unscientific (these words are mine)
because it is counter to "safety first, "public
contact" and pnblic relatians."
This nightmare child of darkness was
saddled upon labor when we were so bankrupt
we lust had life enough to wince when the
cinches were tightened.
Now that prosperity is here (even though
it be war prosperity) let us cast the whole
mess of "job classification" into the limbo of
curable diseases, and let its parents and pro-
ponents get an honest job on defense.

By the time this sees print, the local union

that come to us too easy, our building hae
not been properly appreciated in the past.
Now a renewed interest is taken in the

Edito.: In ordinary years a SLate Federa-
tioe of Labor convention doesn't meal much

it was a "successful" meeting. So what?
He'll still have to work for his daily bread,
won't he? And his local union draws up the
working condition, and sets his scale of
wages, doesn't it? Let 'em have theireonven-
tioes; see if he cares But this year the open-
ing guns of an anti-labor offensive are al-
ready rumbling and flashing on the whole
national front. Various employer groups are
taking advantage of laber's preoccupatlo,
with the war effort to plant vicious anti-
union laws in state legislatures and the Ia
tional Congress. John Q. isn't uite so sure
his localIis strong enough to hold the line,
Are the wages and conditions he has always
taken for granted really in jeopardy? Could
bel le feels the need of support from other
unions and looks with anxious eyestoward
the state and national bodies. He knows there
never was a time when the complete unity of
organized labor was so urgent.
Only last week the Missouri State Federa-
tion of Labor convened at Jefferson City, In
the very shadow of the capitol building where
the legislature is debating bills which, if
passed, would leave Missouri labor unions
about as effective as so many sewingeirlees.
So the business of the convention was con-
ducted and concluded in a somewhat tense at-
mosphere. The delegates felt-and rightly-
that ChM~is in time to t.pe, int with new
officers. The state federatilon's executive staff
was re-elected without dissent. One of these
is L. U. No. 124's Frank Murphy who begins
his eleventh consecutive term as state sec-
retary. Besides Brother Murphy, this local's
delegates were Business Manager John Wet-
sig and Assistant Business Manager Andy
Harey. Of course, President Hugh S. (Mink)
O'Neill attended. What convention would be
complete without him? He represented the
Central Labor Union.
Now that the hectic peak of war plant
construction has passed, the electrical work-
ers can begin to sum up their dividends and
count their casualties. The books will not
balance for years to come because most of
the profits and losses are intangibles and
can't be reduced to figures. You've gained
wnges, and lost conditions. You've gained
experience;
and lost prestige. You've gained
members; and lowered standards. Some of
these things will straighten themselves out
at the end of the war. And they will vary, Of
course, in various localities. But it roughly
sketches the over-all picture.
Distinctly on the credit side is the bringing
out of latent talent of your members-es-
pecially as regards work supervision SonIe
employers have created tht ..yth that fore-
men must be of some rare and superior
mettle in order that they might elevate the
whip-crackers, and men willing to skirt the
edges of theit union principles, to positions
of responsibility. The result has been that
man. union-consoious, competent mechanics
have never bad opportunity
the to demon-
strate their leadership until this emergency.
It develops that the heat-'em-on-the-tai[, fire-
'em type of foremen haven' done so good,
while the newer, conscilenious foremee have
delivered more and better work by enlisting
the loyalty and cooperation of their men. It
is to be hoped that from now on the local
unions will dictate who shall supervise job,
rather than leaving it to the whim of the
employer.
Oh, yes-we almost forgot about the party
at the Auditorium on Juno 12. That is. the
local is going to trb to have a party. If the
committee makes a success of it. after arguing
with the rationing board, we'll say they ought
to be put on steady!

CHARLES W. HARVES, R. S.
L. U. NO. 145, ROCK ISLAND, ILL.
Editor: "Son," my father told me, "ig.ure.
don't lie but liars do figure."
The truth of that statement is verifid by
nearly every newspaper or magazine I read
or "news" commentator I hear.
The author of the article on Captain
Riokenbacker in ihe May JONA mut mshave
been prodded ino his search for facts by
the same idea. It ia too bad that the Inumber
of people reading his frticle can in no
measure approach the number of people
exposed to Rickenbeker's propaganda.
An editorial in the Saturday Eyening Post
of May 29, under the ironical title of "Sacri-
fice Applies to Everybody," states, Being a
humane people, we have an uneasy con-
science about labor and . . we ant no
exploitation of the workingm an'
Sure, you're a nice guy, But
The BUT in this instance is based on a
statement of Economist BUris Shishkin .h1ch
will bear repeating. Mr, Shishkin wrote:
"A worker earning $24 in August, 1939,
would now earn $40, including all overtime and
night work he now has to put in. The $40 pay
envelope, however, does not buy $40 worth of
goods. It buys only $27 worth. In other words,
the average worker's real wage ineome is
only $3 above what it was in August, 1939."
The Postthen, quite properily, sheds tears
over indivduals receiving no more now than
in 1939, naming teachers, ministers, clerks,
salesmen, government employees, also the in-
evitable "yes, even widows and orphans
who
lilve on interest and dividendsd," (Me, I'm an
orphan, too, and my aged grandmother is a
widow, but we don't jive on interest and divi-
dends.) Now, my sympathy is for anyone
rpeeiving $24 a week or less, regardless of
whether they have received an increase or not,
for, as the Post points out they can buy but
$16.20 worth of groceries for their $24.
BUT the Post is quite oblivious to the fact
that the jump in the average wage has been
caused largely by wages paid to people who
were unemployed in 1939 and by increases
paid for additional work (overtime). In short,
the working man receives only $3 worth of
g oods for each $16 he earns over what he
earned in 1939. Since most of any individual',
increase in earnings is due to additional work
it can then be shown that the average work-
man actually receives only $3 for $16 worth
of additional work by 1939 standards. Sounds
screwy but that is the type of figuring I see
and hear every day but from a far different
angle,
The boys tell me that George Jorgensen,
being of a Scientific turn of mind, decided to
leave a colossal fossil for posterity to unriddle
in the form of the imprints of his number
12's through a hundred yards of wet cement.
Shades of the dinosaur, what a fossil!

L. U. NO. 212, CINCINNATI. OHIO
Editor: Iie r it is press time again, and
time again for each and every local to say
hello" to each other via our WOnK.r. We,
here in Cincinnati, are very glad of this grand
opportunity to pass our news on to you and
you and you.
We., of Local No. 212 have begun a thought
which somne other local unions may wish to
install also. After our meeting has omffially
opened, and we ha.e said allegiance to our
flag, we then follow with a prayer or
two for all of our men in service. This we
believe is very beneficial not only to our boys
but also to the entire local as a body,
Since the last meeting we have added the
following men to our growing service list:
Harry BorgenIenke, Jr., who has enlisted in
the 'Seabees" and at this writing is stationed
in Virginia.
Other new service men are: C. Dunning,
Harry Katz, E. Ilummel (son of William
Humme'l).
Glad to note that Corporal Jack Wakefield,
son of our Albert Wakefield, was home during
May for a short furlough. Jack looks nice in
his uniforn,
Captain Province Winkler has returned to
this country after action in Africa and we
hlad the pleasure of seeing "pro" at cur
meeting in May. Good Luck and good con-
valescing to you, old fellow.
Beth of George Huber's boys were home
during May. (George, the Marine, and Ver-
non, the sailor.)
Good lack to all of our boys!
Our sick list consists of the following: T.
Loring, Ernest Simonton (who was reported
well on May 16); John WohIwonder (under-
went an operation in May, but we are glad to
say is now much better); Bob Fobbe (also had
241
a sick spell but we a-a all glad he is well
again).
And say, boys, at a practice session oif our
ball team they tell me that Carl Voelimelke
was out there. Boy! that is good news! Keep
it up. Carl.
Wish to thank Local No. 466, of Charleston,
for their fine treatment of our boys down
there, namely, Elmer "Doe" Sehenk and
Edward Rising. My personal resgrds to both
of you. And say, Rising, bring nmy'pliers along
next time you come home to see Vera.
Locally the following jobs were awarded:
Powell Valve Company Itzt Hoover Elee-
tric Co.; Health Center in Kentueky-lBertke
Electric Company.
liere in our A. F, of L. Softball League, we
have gotten under way again for another
season of baseball with the following results
of the first tWO games: Street Railway two
ruis;Electricians-three runs. We were de-
feated one to nothing by the Warehousemen.
We have a good team, members; come on
out and root for our boys. The following boys
are members of the team: Harry Epelagte,
manager; Edward Kenkel, P. Morton, W.
Ridman, Stalf, Krumme, Westerman, liolt-
hans, Wittkamp, Mueller, Peters, Affolter,
Wakefield, Schmitt (scorer), Voelmiecke.
Once again the Grim Reaper has reached
among us and taken another member, namely,
William Carroll, who was initiated into our
union September 25, 1918, and passed away
May 23, 1943. We shall all miss "Red," and
the entire local sends its deep-felt sympathy
to his wife and family. May he sleep peace-
fully now and forever.
Just a note of thanks to John Brennan our
financial secretary, and to Harry Williams,
our business representative, for good jobs
well done. Also a note of thanks to our execo
tire board. Keep up the good work, gentlemen.
And to each and every nember of the
Br'otherhood everywhere, Buy Bonds and dig
your Victory Garden Don't forget either
one. Both are vital factors for your future
and mine.

L. U. NO. 224, NEW BEDFORD, MASS.
Edttor: Local No. 224 just had charge of
the state convention. Although rationing of
food almost proved to ho our
downfall, we
were able to convince the rationing board
that the convention was planned last No
vetomer and delegates must eat, so they a)-
owed us to proceed and have a banquet.
Of course, there couldn't be any convention
without an R. A, R. meeting, which proved
to be a success as usual.
Many problems discusse
were dnmany
speakers addressed the convention. Among
(hem Iere Jim Meehan, mayor of Lawrence
and secretary-treasurer of the State Build-
big Trades Council; Jim Moritarty, state
commissioner of labor; Bill Doyle, president
of the state branch of the A. F. of L. and a
member of Local No. 103 of Boston; John
Murphy, state branch organizer. I am sure
the delegates took home with them much
information that will be heneafcial to their
locals.
Also among the gRests was Captain Win-
chester of the labor relations division of the
Engineers Corps office of Boston who
answered questions put to him by the
delegates.
Thie nost important question was on the
latest letter from Miss Frances Perkins,
Secretary of Labor, to the building trades in
this tate bout holiday, In this letter she
said, "The President's Executive Order 9240
has no bearing on and does not apply to
the stabilization agreement." Yet, the Amy
and Navy refuse to agree with the Secretary
242
of Labor. Captain Winchester took the stand
that the board of review, having made the
original decision in regard to holidays, should
be consulted Nevertheless. the construction
electricians of Local No. 224 have agreed to
back up Miss Perkins and will not work on
any holiday unless they receive time and
one half for wages,.
This, of course. does not apply to the
process workers in the miscellaneous groups
as they are still subject to Executive Order
9240 and if a holiday occurs during the week
and the employer requires the employee to
work on that holiday and they also work over
40 hours, they shall be paid lime and one
half for the holiday as well as time and one-
half for all over 40 hours. In other
orIds,
both must be paid.
Getting back to the cone.tiole from which
I strayed to give those who will not attend
meetings some information, the business of
the c onvention
included the election of ofil-
cert and selection of the next convention
city. The latter was left in the hands of
the incoming officers because of the serious-
ness of rationing. The sameofficers were
reelecte unanimously.
d They are John Regan.,
president, and Walter Kenefiek, secretary-
treasurer, both having served well for sev-
erl years. The delegates were proud we
have such splendid men for our offiers The
vice presidents were all reelected, and Local
No. 224 wishes them success in the contiug
year.

Editor: Every day the present conflict con
tipluet finds the average citizen becoming
niore and more confused by the methods
adopted by governmental boards to success-
fully wage war on the enemy.
Being below the average in intelligence, I
sometimes wonder whom they consider the
enemy. So many laws and r e strictions
are put
into effect at regular intervals that to be
positively sure of not breaking somI law of
a country at war it is not safe to venture off
the front porch. On second thought, that
would rot do either, we would be shirking our
wartime duties.
Present regulations of the transit controller
limit the mileage of a bus or public vehicle to

large town for serice. repairs or gasoline.
This duplication of fuel and rubber consump-
tion is a little deep for me.
Victory bonds and war stamps are a
necessity in war time as well as a good in-
vestmnent to the worker for pence and de-
pression time, but why I should be advised to
borrow money from the bank to buy bonds
at 3 per cent so that the bank may collect 7
per cent from the government for selling the
bonds is also very puzzling. This 7 per cent
cuts intc the fund that is being collected for
war purposes for a pretty figure. Then, of
caurse, we pay for this profit out of the 30
p., cent income tax we pay on our wages,
cost-of-living bonus and war bond deductions.
Now I have myself in a mess of percentages
aId taxes and headaches so I guess I'll just
give it up. But I still think that the puzzle
of war will be nothing as compared to the
puzzle of peace. Our present day problems
can be eased a lot by a liberal application of
red. white and blueink, but later on, I think
we will stick chiefly to the red (ink I mean).
According to the calendar and Joe Dent,
spring is here and our worthy president is ar-
ranging for fishing trips, basket picnics and
hotmes for the aged. Little things like gas and
rubber shortages, meat rationing, scarcity of
homes even for the young, don't bother our
Joe.
Steve Cross made a trip to Toronto re-
cently as a single man. Thereturn trip found
our sailormat had joined the ranks of the
married men. Best of luck, Steve, to you and
Mrs. Cross.
Eddie Russell, who had an unfortunate ac-
ldenl recent] y, is rapidly rolnding into shape
again.
Mealbers working on maintenance work in
and around Toronto are realizing that a
strong organization of men engaged in this
type of work is necessary to hold their pres-
ent rate of pay. A special meeting for main-
tenance men was held on May 20, when it was
decided to hold one a month, that is. the
third Thursday of each month. Come out and
give it Your support.
Brother Jimmie Sparks is back from Lab-
rador. he came home to get defrosted.
Some of our members are getting them-
seles tangled up with plant councils and com-
mittees in the various factories where they
are employed. Take my advice and drop it
before you get in too deep. If you have the
urge to further the interests of your fellow
nan, do it through your independent labor
organization, Local Union Nio. 353.

Saw two of our young soldiers home on
furlough. Jimmie Louckes and Stewart
Means. They are two splendid young men,
and their parents have good reason to be
proud of them.,
Jimmie is with the 11th Air Force in
Florida.
Stewart says his location is a.I, sh, mili-
tory secret.
Seems strange that the miners who are ask-
ing for a living wage are getting all of the
blame of fomenting a strike, and are even
being called traitors, ets, while hardly a
word is said about the bull-headed grasping
mine operators and owners, who it seems will
not even talk to their men on this wage
question.
Why should all the blame be put on the
miners' shoulders when the owners ore also
to blame ?
How about these big corporations that
hare been producing defective goods for the
U. S. Army? Is not that regular sabotage?
After all, why should not the government
own or control all mines and all natural
resou.rces!
But. perish the thought, that would be
rank soeialisml When we read so much
about "absenteeism" and .11 of the other
bunk put out by antilabor sources in this
country, how about this sample of capital-
istic greed and dishonesty?
A Mr. C. E. MeEvoy, president of a ship
building company of Savannah, Ga,, and a
"big shot" business tycoon, has been haled
before the Troman Committee to tell afunny
story. His company secured a o.ntract from
Uncle S.a to construct 23 barges. So far the
government has spent $7,000,000 on his plant
but has not received one barge.
His firM has not a penny for assets, but
will make a profit of $1,250,000 If it ever
builds the barges.
And labor is a profiteerl That ought to
he good for a belly laugh!
A lot of this rafting seems to be going on
in Washington these days. Seems that a
certain Admiral "Jerry" Land has had a hand
in dishing out a lot of these dishonorable
contracts.
Let's see, wasn't he the bird who once said
at a bankers' banquet that it would not he
a bad idea shoot
to union organizers who
try to unionize the shipyards?
When he saw his story in print he tried
to explain,'* but it was a poor explanation!
So labor is killing the war effor by "ab-
senteeism" and profiteerfiil
Work in our territory is slowly tapering
off. Although we still have many visiting
members working on our war jolb these
jobsare bound to be finally completed.
We regret to see many of these men leave
as our work nears completion, as we have
had a chance to form some line friendships
with so many of these boys.
I think it was a fine thing when men from
other locals came to help us out on our war
work a. it gave us a chance to realize that
all I. B. E. W. men are pretty much alike,
jolly, care-free, and all trying to enjoy life

our local we are inclined to do so in an ab-
stract way, as if we were guilty of some mis-
demeanor. Because of this I have come to the
conclusion that the time has come to forget
our differences and discuss this as a science.
The science of political economy or ceo-
nontife Is the science which treats of the
social organizations of want-satisfying activ-
its and mainly that particular form of organ-
zatior, which involves the use of money. How-
ever, it is not lay purpose to discuss the co0-
nonic theory or g enera
laws
l governing this
fa..inating subject. Suffice it to say it has I
very decided relation to political science.
Social science treats of the foundations of
the ate and the principles of government.
Political science includes an investigation into
the nature of the state as the supreme agency
of government for gaining and maintaining
peace, order, security aid justic antong its
people. It investigates also the nature, history
and draws from its study the laws of growth
and development of government. In its re-
latilo to sociology, political science inquires
how a portion of society is governed and how
a group of society is interrelated with an-
other; it seeks also to correct the ills of man-
kind through recognized legal enactments.
Sociology atteipts a scientific study of society
viewed as a group of individuals. Political
science is limited in its scope to the function
of the ctate to provide for the general wel-
lare, In its relation to history. Social science
uses the materials of history to explain the in-
stitnLions of government.
This may le summed up in briof by saying,
the function of political science is to explain
the instiutlons of government and is con-
cerned with that part of history which sheds
light on the present structure of the state. Let
me carry this on a little further. Political
science has quite a history behind it.
Plato, a Greek philosopher, was born in
Athens In May 429 B. C. Plato Was endowed
with a highly imaginative and emotional na-
tore. lie early began to write poems, but at
the same time
studied philosophy. When we
turn to the ancient clasasi we find heprop os
an ideal state. This is what Plato includes in
his well-defined classes of people, defining hi,
"Republic.' In the first class should be the,
rIlers of the stat. The second class should
be or consist of artisans. farmers, snd indus-
trial workers, To the third class should be-
long the soldiers and auxiliaries. Education
was to be universal. Candidates far the ruling
class were to be selected by a series of tests
r
at definite intervals after the completion of
the required studies. To prevent avarice
among them. the ruling class was to be de-
prived of personal property and to live at the
expense of the state. They were to supervise
education and marriage and pass laws to
prevent the extremes of poverty and wealth.
You will notice Plato was conscious of the
extreme wealth on the one side and the poor
on the other, Consider a thinker as far back
as 429 B. C., with the limited amount of
industrial development at that period, to have
ideas of objective scioncee I would suggest
and reomeiaond reading of "Plat's Republic."
It will help clear the mist that has been placed
before our eyes by those poison pen artists
who want us to live in a static world.
We have quite a busy time these dayscheck-
ing up on the enemies of labor. Senator Tom
Connally (Dem., Texas) and Congresgman
Howard Smith (Dem., Va.), those labor
haters, take every advantage to fimpose
shack]es on all workers. It is very encourag-
ingto read the statement coming from the
executive council. a withering attack, brand-
ing the bill as bringing fascism to America.
We, too, in No. 794, are on our toes. Our com-
mittee on legislation has proposed a joint
committee between the A. F. of L. llnois
State Federation of Labor and the Illinois
State Industrial Union Countil, C. 1. 0. You
will find the resolution enclosed.
"Whereas the winning of this war is neces.
sary for the preservation of democracy and
laber's right;; and
"Whereas the enemies of democracy in
America are working relentlessly to defeat
our war effort and destroy organized labor;
and
"Whereas complete unity among the work-
era is absolutely essential if victory is to be
attained in the near future; and
'Whereas this lack of unity in November,
1942, resulted in the election of many reac-
tionaries to national and state assemblies;
therefore be it
"Resolved, That Local No. 7'94, T. B. E. W.
in its regular meeting, April 15, 1943, asks
that the Illinois State Federation of Labor
(A. F. of L.) and the Illinois State Industrial
Union Council (C. 1. 0.) form a permanent
joint [gislative committee for the purpose of
taking the necessary political action.

A final word: Railroad workers certainly
have great patience. Now that the railroad
magnates have submitted their encyclopedic
report it should make good reading in the
post war world. They can certainly draw out
negotiations. They are past waster. at

People's money invested in War Bonds

L. U. NO. 817, NEW YORK. N. Y.
Editor: Our letter in the April issue of our
monthly magazine was devoted to the ad.
vances made by the railroad electrical work-
ers duoring the past 25 years. This month we
are devoting our letter to those international
offiers whose untiring efforts and indomitable
courage made these results possible. Our late
International President Jim Noon.. ; our
late international secreItry and great h.-
manitarian, whose efforts in behalf of the un-
derprivileged stand as a monument to his
memory at Leonardtown, Md., "Chuck" Ford;
the first international vice president in charge
of railroads, Eddie Evans, who guided the
destinies of the railroad electrical worker,
during one of the most tempestuous periods.
JUNE, 1943
a period which might be properly cilied tih
reconstruction period following the strike nf
1922. Brother Evans was succeeded by our
late Irother C. J. MeIlogan, whose ability,
courage and foresight has placed the railroad
electrical workers in the forefront of the I.-
bir movement on railroads, a mnan whose Hi-
terest was not confined solely to the rirganiun-
tion of a inilitant menbership. he also zeal-
ously guarded our jurisdiction of xoi'k on
railroads.
During the past 10 years we have had two
international presidents who have LimoTn
steretd their syImpathetic understahdig of

nlovenleet. Our present interna innal p res-ti
dent, Brother Ed Brown., during thie pst
thret years he has been in office. has justified
his selection by the L. E. C. and his reelection
by the de/ctures at the last convention hel
at St. uonis in, 1941, We are not en ini ofI[P

I. U. NO. 980, NORFOLK, VA.
E~ditar: Another
month rolls aroun dand
it is time to contribute to this column again.
And it is a pleasure to do so, for through
,his medium of exhnge a personal contact
is established with the various locals of this
International.
TiMis local is still awaiting a decision of
the National Labor Relations Board in re-
gIrd to the recent earing held in this city
tI determine the proper bargaining agent
for the Virginia Electric & Power Co. em-
ployees-, It is unfortnnati- that the govern-
mental agencies withhold such decisions until
sI.e drastic action forces their hard. The
maenin this local have been very patient but
it is b oceedingly hard to maintain
hecoming
a harnionious state hen the y are nit get-
ling the coopera tior that they deserve.
Our fellow workers in Am alganated Local
No. 1177 had to go s, far aI to walk out on
strike to get certilJcation of their unit. in
their negotiations several iteis hadto be
referred to the War Labor Board. Now this
board has ignored its own set Pates, torender
a decision, for so long that the men in No.
1177 have hbd to take eIother strike vote
in order to force action,
The government pleads with the working
man for full cooperation in the war effort.
11ow can they expert it if they will not
properly cooperate with the working man?
I believe that it is generally agreed that
only by rigid control of wagets, salaris and
living costs can inflation be prevented. Still
when our President seeks to enforce this
utrse Cntgress arises and says they agree
on control of wages, but let any profits of
this war be divided aIong the high salaried
brackets, and thereby removes the President's
$25,000 ceiling.
This does not contribute to the war effort.
The working man has bees brow-beaten for
a lnng time but now that he is coming into
his own he is not going to allow himself
easily to be forced back into serfdo.a
Only through internatioal organization
can the working rman ]hope to maintain and
increase the equalities due him, and in this
onnrectior I wou
.d like to compliment the
Norfolk Central Lahor 12ion antd its presi
dent, I. C Weistad.and secretary,. 0. W.
Herb, for the spltndid joI they are doing for
labor in this section of th,, country.
Brother Weistad been
has recognhied for
his contributions ti labor by being elected
secretary of the Virginia State Federation
of Labor at the recent cnention held in
toanoke, Vs. We in Norfolk Ire very proud
of this accomplishnilit.
Brother Welstbd has been the guiding hand
that has built the local Teamsters U{lion into
the powerful organizaion that it is today.
And with the proper cooperation of all the
member locals he will do an equally fine job
for the Norfolk Central Lahio Union.
Brother lHer informs4 us that he will retire
as press secretary of Local No. 784 and be
succeeded by Brother Stnwasser. We regret
losing Brother Herbis very informative con
tributions but feel that Brother Stowasser
will do an equally fine job in that capacity.
The Virginia Electric & Power Company
hat instituted a drive
to sectre the purchase
of War Bionds by the paytrull deduction plan
by the employees. This tnel has been asked
to assi-t in puttirg over the drive and we are
pleased that the in'nice of this organization
is being recognized even though the comipany
does not r-cogniz e the organ ization
itself.
President Norman of this local recently
Spyit two days in Richll nL Vs., at a conI-
pany safety conference,. We hope that be
will have a lot of valuable information for

We have recently installed a transmission
circuit here for 33 K. V. The cable section Is
about 4,000 feet long and it was nanufae-
tured by the fabirshaw Cable Co. and Ibre
the label of Local No. 3. For their benefit we
would like fort them o know that it was
almost completely installed by members of
L. U. No. 980 under the supervision of Mr.
Gambitta of Hlabirshaw. This cahle is of
the low pressure nitrogen-filled type, and
Mr. Ganldbtta states that this is the highest
voltage that is being used on this type of
cable so Iam sure that the industry will he
interested in the success of this installation,
floping that I have not consumed too much
of your space I will con]ude with a sincere
wish for the continued success and accom-
plishnenits of our good Brothers everywhere.
Keep on buyhin War Bonds. It is the safest
investment in) our country.

Editor: Well, I wrote one article, it was
accepted and had at least one compliment
from a menber of I. U. No. 58,1, whose office
is just across the hal from ours, lie stuck
his head in the door and said, 'Well,. Jak, I
see you had
an article in the WOwa,,. Well,
at least it was better than L. U. No. 684
had, they didn't have any"
I am in somewshat of a badl humor today.
I just finished reading a newspaper article
that was slanderitg organized labor for
slowing down production for the war ffort.
Recently one of the employees of the Okla-
homa Ordnance Works, Chouteau, Okila.,
called and asked me to make an appointment
for him that after.oon with an optician., due
to tII,, fact that he had an infection in his
eye, was off from work that afternoon and
did not want to lose a day's work the follow.
ing day from this vital project. I took the
telephone dilrectory and rcled 10 opticians
before I gave up. Each of them but Ine gave
thie sae answer., "We are closed on Thur.-
day afternoon." The other was out of town.
I don't mean to condemn any profession. but
if I0 of there linemen, who were working six
tO hour days a week, had a hair
Ieclared
holiday they would have been severelyI riti-
cited, and some newspaper columnist could
probably have worked it up to a strike.
Maybe one eye of a linenan doesn't matter.
As far Its racketeering and soliciting Iem-
bership is eon-eried in this local, we have
Iad numbers of requests for applications.
and during our peak work period we had
several groundinen working on permits. all of
them knowing at the time that they were
not eligible to became membors until they
had worked in this jurisdiction for at least
sixmonths ad] then if they desired to bechom
a member, their membership was still to be
deciuded by avote of the Iocaland not one
cent was charged for these permits,

be an act in the interest of simplicity or
eIaciancy or economy, but wouId seem to be
an act of slmpie foolhardiness and boon.-
doggling, without the boon.
The same distinctions apply in vsrying Ie-
gree to many other of the ogenlrs
Rfepresentative Dirksen. In most of these
operating activities. where errors of judg-
ment or policy are discovered. the respuali-
bilty Ca be placed and corrections eon be
initiated. Under the proposed merger, how-
ever, there could be no definite responsibility,
and government administration would suffer
the buck-passing and irresponsible manage-
ment such as characterized too great a por-
tion of the utility industry prior to the
inauguration of the Public Utilities Holding
Act and similar reforms.
The proposal to merge the functions of the
various agencies engaged in power planning
might ]I justified if the objective were merely
the production of electric power for its own
sake. Since that is not the objective, and
since it wil never be, the proposal to merge
such planning units seems to reflect a lack
of understanding of the essential nature 0!
social planning. Electric power is merely one
of a multitude of elements relevant to socdal
planning. Raw materials, transportation fa
cilities. mineral, petroleum, and agrieultural
resources, population and any number of
other factors are all interrelated in intelli-
gent social planning and there exists no
justification in common sense for relegating
power planning to a private asylum.
Nothing on earth is more complicated
thanman an.d his myriad relations to his
fellow man and to the material world and
to the Creator of them all. By necessity.
therefore, the problems of good statesman-
ship ore more complicated than simple arith-
metie. If simplicity itself were the sole ob-
ject of statesmanship our legislators might
enact a law calling upon all people to "Do
good and ovoid evil;" and thereafter they
could adjourn. But life is not that simple.

the circunstanees, most of fthe employees
.continued" their members ,hip.
In opposing the Labor BBoard's order to
get rid of the company un an, the South-
ern Bell Telephone and Telegraph GCor-
pany denied company doi netion, for the
reason, among other thinigs, that with
the enactment of the NLR A the old asse-
eiation ceased to exist an d a new one-
with membership records, ddues and every-
thing, just like a real union -came into
existence. And it fought tJhe issue out all
the way to the Supreme CG
But note: The new eonst itution was not
"ratified" by the members uuntil February,
1936. In the meantime thi e company had
entered into a "joint agreenment" on Sep-
tembsr 3, 1935, which also provided for a
check-off of association dues, If it was a
new association the courpa ny had already
dominated it before the me mbers had had
a chance to bring it into exxistence.
This conduct wasn't ne early as ingen-
iousas might be expects d from a Bell
company. The idea had hI ,en anticipated
by Coigre,. In House Reoport No. 1147
of the 74th Congress, refe, ring to Section
8 (2) of the NLRA, it is sstated:
Collective bargaining iis reduced to a
sham when the employer si its on both sides
of the table by supporting a particular
organization with which he deal..."
True enough, it wasn't Ill one-sided.
The company agreed not to use regular
association meetings "for discussions of
sales, safety practices. etc.," but "where
ties of the association to broadcast infor-
mation these meetings would be consid-
red strictly as special meetings called by
the management, the expense of which
could be lawfully borne by them." It may
be observed in passing that the Bell Sys-
tern has never complained about the ex-
pense of i ndoctrinating its employees. It
has no occasion to complain about any ,x-
pense. since the public generously pays it
all, including the legal e incident
xpenses
to resisting the rights of its employees
to the court of last appeal.
The minutes of the "new" association
in 1936 referred to the annual meeting as
the "17th annual meeting;" and in 1937,
to the "18th annual
meeting;" and in
1938, to the "19th annual meeting;" and
in 1939, to the "20th annual meeting." By
1940 it had become evident that working
people had some constitutional rights not-
withstanding the contrary opinions of
corporation lawyers and the Liberty
League, and the company's employees
were beginning to exercise these rights by
joining the INTERNATIONAL BROTIMnHOOD
OF ELECTRICAL WORKERS. It was in 1940
that the association had its constitution
rhanged so that its preamble, which until
then had shown the correct date of the
association's founding in 1919, related
falsely that it was founded on August 30,
1935. The 1940 meeting was referred to
as the "Fifth annual meeting'"-following
the 20th annual meeting.
Now without any irreverence, even God
cannot change a fact once it has occurred.
Neither can the mighty Bell System.
Agaist seeh a backgroud of conpang
dorninatiou and the coercion o/ employ.ee

order calling for the disestablishment of
the company union and the cessation o/

end to anti-unionism, pressure for the closed
