It takes c.urage, that's the reason
Our flyers will lead the fray.
Sure hi battle it takes daring,
And our flyers there will be.
They make quick decisions flying
With tons of bombs for Germany.
Now their fighting planes go zooming,
In the battle of the skies,
The rat-tattt of guns a-singing,
SwattingHuns and Japs like aifrs.

To help destroy the Nazi clan.
Our armoured troops roil and rumble,
Our men fight tol win or die.

E. EDGAR M. QUEENY, meet Mr.
M Readdaley R
buse ........
Both of you are
.umh
Both of you have writ-
ten imprtant books, published during the
last month. Both of you are concerning
yourselves with tie stirring problems of
the present generation. The conclusions
reached by you and your thinking, affects
organized labor and every other segment
of the underlying population.
Mr. Quceny is president of the Mon-
santo Chemical Company, St. Louis. This
company may be described as a modern
business arising to prominence in the last
10 years, putting on the market 300 or
more pro.ducts ie the field of plastics,
chemicals and such important new Fer-
chandise. Mr, Qmeny is also a banker
and he is a director of the American Air-
lines. lIa. Be served in the first World
War., He has been active in the National
Association of Manufacturers. He is a
Republican and is interested in education.
Mr Queeny is also a graduate of Cornell
University.
Mr, bumd is also a business man, treas-
urer of the R. II. Mary and Co., New York
City, one of the leading department stores
in the world. He is also chairman of the
Flederal Iteserve Bank of New York City.
At one time Mr. Rurnal was in the steel
business. te is an advisr to the National
R esources Planning Board in Washing-
ton. iie is interested in art and be is a
graduate of Dartmouth College, and has
a Ph.D. froI. thie University of Chicago
TWO TITANS OF BUSINESS
Without apologizing at all for the
terml, it may be accurately stated that
these
two men are titans of modernbusi-
ness, Mr. Queeny certainly has left his
mark I. the National Association of
Mauleturers. and M. Rural has become
almost a by-name Til American news-
papers I.pcause of his connection with the
pay-as-you-go tax plan. What these two
titans think about business, about govern-

Essential
that employers reach a point of
adopting unified program
met, about labor, is important to every
citizen in the United States,. No doubt
what they continue to think on these sub-
jets will have a marked effect on the
future of America. It is important for
labor to. .easure
the value of their ideas
against the aspirations and aims of labor
itself.
The publication of their respective
books at this hour in America's deve]op-
nlent, probably marks shme change in the
attitude of bustiess men toward ideas,.
There is plenty of punch in their books,
but there aistendency toward thought.
fuln.ss-.toward a respect for historical
concelpt not hitherto obser.ved in captotirs
of business, Business men have been long
on action and short on thought. In truth,
one might also add that Americans hay,
been long on action and short on thought.
We have been busy building a continent,
ereting a new nation, and creating the
highest standard of living in the world,
and this has taken much sweat and labor,
and has not given time for reflection or
writing. But as the world goes to pot and
as revolutinary changes sweep over the
world, it is necessary that soni sweaty
thinking be done toward adjusting the
United States to a new order, whatever
that may be. What is it that Mr. Edgar
Queeny wants. and ,hat is it that Mr.
Beardsley Rumi wants?
Mr. Queeny closes his book, "The Spirit
of Enterprise," with this statement: "To
realize thefour freedoms, we need only
one freedom-Freedom!"
Place over against this high.ounding
s~tatment of Mr. Qu.eny's this para-
graph from Mr. Ruml's book, "Govern-
ment, lusirnss and Values":
MEET JOE-AVERAGE AMERICAN
Ihere is all average American citizen.
His name is Joe, decided upon by his
moteOr aInd agreed to by his father,. It is
a balIy.. sprldig day and Joe is standing on

no tipping) wondering whether he
fl5e.
will have another cigarette (15c for 20,
pls 3c sales tax) before e goes back to
work (shift goes on at 12:5(0. He has
just been transferred (by the company
with the applovaI of the union) to De-
partment 24. That's a three-shift depart-
ment so he will have to take his turn
before long on the late shift, but it pays
more. Well, he's paid his income tax (laO
by the Federal Congress, regulations by
the BRueau 0 f Internal Revenue), and
he,'s paid for his auto license (state reve-
ttie act), but he's got a ticket in his pocket
for going through a traffic light (munie.
ipal code), and that will probably be at
least two bucks (determined by the judge
in the IraMIc court). It's his regular night
(old tribal ruling) to take his wile (state
code) to the movies (billing by XYZ Dis-
trIbutors), but a special meeting of his
union (chartered by the International in
Washington) has been called (by the loal
ex, cutive committee) and he'll have to do
that first. Besbdes. some papers have to be
filled out for his daughter's baptism (ec.
clcsiastical regulation), so, maybe no
movie until next week. Well, that's all
right by him, lie decides thoer isn't time
to have a cigarette, and turns to go Il to
the plant. lie tries to get in through a
marked EXIT and a watchman from
inside pushes him out and tells him to go
in where lie should. Joe, ouraverage
Americn citizen, shrugs his shoulders
anid quietly goes in the next door at the
right, without resentment and at peace
with the ,ord.`
AT ODDS ON PLANNING
Another marked difference between Mr.
Queeny and Mr. Ruin is indicated by
tueir attitude toward planning. Mr.
Queny's particular aversion is central
yenomic planning. He says "It is not
necessary to socialize our econom..y
through central economic planning in
urder to provi deadequately for the so-
called lower third."
Mr. Rumnl sdd:
"In certain quarters there is a preju-
tiice against the word 'planning,' a preju-
dice which probably springs from appre-
hlsion that planning may lead us into a
regimented way of life. I feel that just
the opposite is the case. Planning is to
regimentation both antithesis and anti-
dote. Regimentation springs up after
planning has failed. Regimentation must
depen I on force and violence to imple-
ment its intuitions and it, aniatic will.
Free, open, democratic pl ann.ing, thinking
about ournational future out loud, will
contribute to the success of our form of
340
government by bringing abiding satisfac-
tikms it the American way of life. Thus,
plarainig will render regimentation, al-
ways distastcful. unnecessary."
Mr. Queeny's book is a p assionate par-
h.san statement. It is aimed primarily
agitist what he cals the "New Deal,"
Veblen socialism and entral econo.. ic
plannin g. Much of it is a history, fonm a
big business man's point of view, of the
past 12 years in American life. It is a
defelse u£i the busMiess man, and it is a
defense of the rich; and although Mr.
Querny and Mr. Ruhal seem to be on the
opposite sides of the fence, they agree
strongly that American life should re-
main free ad it is essential to prlserve
free enterprise if Anerican life continues
to remain Iree.
Much of Mr. Queeny's book is con-
cervod inl anger and written in anger. Mr.
Q.netny is 'mad,' and we suspect that he
is "mad" because he feels that business
men bave lobt prestige and have been
pushed a little further from the throne
than is their wont. This does not write
Mr. Q..eny down as a black Leactiona'lry.
When one discounts his passion and his
angelsone can discern a sinere eoffot on
the part of this big business man to mlake
contribution
a to economic thinking and to
make honest suggestions toward inpro(v-
ing American social relations. Mr. Queeny
has a pha forn and it reads soeth g
like this:
A PLATFORM FOR ACTION
-. Somre form of a national incerpora-
tkn law i o control monopoly and estab-
bisbfree competition.
2. Elnailnation of all interlocking di-
rc torates by prohibiting any directors
from profiting, directly or indirectly, by
a transacltion between the company and
any firm or other business with which
that director was connected.
3. Prohibition by investment banker-
directors of promoting mergers for profit.
4. A reform of the press, making it more
responsive to free speech and democratic
controlb
5. Forcing the newspapers to divorce
their commercial radio stations from
their newspaper interests,
6. Changing the law creating the Se-
curities and Exchange Commission so as
to eliminate irritations but fully protect-
ing the public against bad stocks.
7. Abolishment of the National Labor
Relations Board but full guarantees for
collective bargaining. "Employers should
he prohibited from labor spying and dis-
erimination of any kind against labor."
Lock-outs shouhl be illegal.
8. Congress should leave no justified
doubts as to the continuance of property
rights.
9. A reform of the tax system. Income
tax rates should be reduced drastically.
10. Profits and wealth should go to men
only when they contribute something new
anti useful, or make
something of better
quality at lower cost.
11. A s ound
social security program,
what Mr. Quceny calls "voluntarysocial-
ism." Ahmrricas rnprovement in tehbnoI-
The Journal of ELECTRICAL WORKERS and Operalors
EDGAR M. QUEENy
ogy should be made to pay for thin fu nda -
mentael social seurLity program,
This is a platform worthy of the alete-
tion of every American and every labor
Ilall. We suspect, howeve, that Mr.
QUenly's anger has beelouded for the no-
ment his intellect and has preventld him
from seeing the relation of govej v n llt
to business.
Mr. Rumri is more lucid on this point.
Mr. ituRl says: "It is inescapable that
the national state, through an explicit
and implemented fiscal and monetary
policy, must complement and supplement
the activities of private business in the
maintenance of high production and high
emrnp1oyme nt
Both of these books are stimulating.
Neither book shows any animus against
organized labor or collective bargainhing.
Both seem to supporteolleetivebargaining
as a process and as an advance in human
relations. We suggest that it would be an
excellent thing if more business men
wrote books, becau se by writing books men
clarify their ideas, communicate their
ideas to their fellows, ani help build a
new tradition and a better way of life in
America.
WHAT OUR BRITISH NEIGHBORS
THINK
In comparison with this thinking of
two leading American business men, it is
well to look toward England. What are
British business men thinking about these
days? h.A. R. Wylie, an American writer,
in a recent book called 'Flight to Eng-
land," gives a good picture of what the
British industrialists are thinking and
doing in this hour of the world's regen
ersti.e:
"Industrialists are invaded today by a
growing sense ef the inevitability of
change, which they accept w ithou. hitter-
nose. There's a truer
patriotic feeling.
tlishig from a COnSious r'espect fon
Britinlh ideals and Lbte pJrogressivt gains
in the past in which all classes have had
a hand.... A reawakening of conscience:
They (the industrialists ask themselves
what they have done to earn past privi-
leges and vhat they are doing in return
for them today. An industrial career is
now a mettie and not merely a road to
private acquisition.
"Government control has comne to stay.
"It is fairly safe to make the general-
iNation that the more educated an em-
ployer is, the more he sympathizes with
the claims of labor and the more easily
he overlooks the excesses due chiefly to
ignorance
.... They (the industrialists)
must learn history, humanities, perhaps
the classics, For them the learning of in-
dustrial 'technique' is of secondary im-
portance: in their ease, if anywhere, the
achievement of the ultimate function of
education-to impart character and to
teach the understanding of mnen-is the
supreme necessity.
"I believe that the trading and bar.
gaining instinct is quite highly enough de-
veloped in our civilization and that an
artificial fostering of it is not only im-
moral but economically unsound in the
long run. Extravagant advertising and
high-pressure salesmanship are directed
to selling things to people who do not
really want them. I believe this t be a
more insidious evil than stree.-..rn.er
betting.) It would be better to teach the
public to resist the blandishments of
salesmen and advertisers.
"My own belief is that the total elini-
nation of the speculator
n fron the indus-
trial field would do measureless good and
very little harm, As renidrs the gambling
in stocks and shares in existing companies
I cannot see that this benefits industry in
any way whatever. It has no more merit
of any kind than gambling over games
and it has many very serious conse-
quences...."
Oh, the eagerness and freshness of
youth! How the boy enjoys his food, his
l;eep, his sports, his companions, his
truant days! His life is an adventure, he
is widening his outlook, he is extending
his dominion, he is conquering his king-
dom. IHow cheap are his pleasures, how
ready his enthusiasms! In boyhood I have
had more delight on a baymow with two
companions and a big dog-deliht that
came nearer intoxication-than I have
ever had in all the subsequent holidays of
my life. When youth goes with it. When
manhood
comes, much comes with it. We
exchange a world of delightful sensations
and impressions for a world of duties and
studies and meditations. The youth en-
joys what the man tries to understand.
Lucky is he who can get his grapes to
market andIkeep the bloom upon them,
who can carry sone of the freshness and
eagerne
and
ss simplicity of youth into
hi, later yelrs, who tn hlnve a boy's
heart below m a an's head.

GOVERNMENT ad LABOR
By BEARDSILEY RUMI, Treasurer, R. H. Macy Company
Excerpts from a reeent addrcss by Mr.
Rum? by perhissj on.
HERE is another deep influence that
may explain i,' part this insistent de-
T mand on the parI of people geneaIly,
that something be done now about plan-
ning for the pfriod to follow the war.
We are a well educated people, tnd we
know that, even recognizing wonh.dfUl
material advances, the scientific and tech-
nical progress of the last hundred and
fifty years has never truly ip,'ed in
erms of human ttrment. We k]now that
In our country, to go no farther afield,
we had a decade of mass unemnployment
of men and machines, and before that we
were worried about what we called "tech-
nological unempIoyuent." We know lthat
during the 30's alone in the United States.
we lost forever a product of goods and
services which woud have -ano.Intcd to
more than two hundred billion dollars.
Not only for these material things, hlut for
other values lost as well, we want in, the
future that this product be created, con-
served, and wpplied to the increased we-
fare of us all. We, in America, expect this
fruition of our ers gy, our skill :t..dIur
resources, and it is therefore natalII that
we should be sympathetic with, and that
we should encou.age leade rsh ip wheir.ve.
it arises that points the way toward the
realization of these expectations.
ATTITUDE OF BUSINESS MEN
ENCOURAGING
It is particularly encouraging hat hUsi-
ues men have lready begun to give
thought to what business itself can do to
help make real the benefits o• high em-
ployment. Mott of you, I ans sure, have
heard something of these activities. In-
dividual businesses, local chanbers of
comn .e.ce, stae aid national a s... aotilors
of business men. are developing their
plans. One new organization. with which
many of you are doubtless familiar, the

proper part-
But it would be folly to expect that
business can nilake the transition from
full wartime employment to high peace-
time employment wihout cooperation
from public government at every level
federal, state and local.
These measures of cooperation be-
tween govqrnment and bu.sirle ss are goo..
but in ay opiion they are not enough.
In addition, we require for success in the
attack by business and government on the
danger of mass unelployment, a comit-
ment on the part of government that,
through an explicit fiscal and monetary
policy, it will act when business, as busi-
ness, cannot act to sustain employment

The first change that needs to be made
is in the organizetiru of the admh nstra
tive branch of the federal government.
Thhe administration of any fiscal policy at
all., calls for cooperation ainoig agencies
and for sigleness of policy in it least
several respects: the federal ludget; the

functions are all intimately associated in
giving reality to any governmenltal fiscal
ard moneta y policy designed to cooperate
with private business in achieving high
pr,(ouetivity and high employment. These
functilons are scattered among several
depa rtmnttis rId agencies, and, during
Ofhe 3fi's, there was clear evidence of con-
fliet in basic policy. This meant that dur-
ing that period the administration had no

(First in a series of articles on the
magnitude and efficiency of private
power.)
ROBABLY no single enterprise has a
greater stake in the welfare of a com-
P munity than has the electric utility
company which serves it. For its sales
fluctuate directly with the rising and
falling prosperity of the surrounding
area.
Conversely, no enterprise is as vital to
the community as the utility which sup-
plies its factories, homes and hospitals
with electric power and light.
The interests of the two are insepara-
bly bound together.
In wartime we realizc more appre.ia
tively than ever, the complete depen-
dence of the nation upon the efficient and
uninterrupted operation of its power in-
dustry. For wlthout it our customary ac-
tivities in production, transportation,
communication and con.mmrce would be
impossible.
In the United States, wh.re more work
is performed by power than in any other
section of the globe, electric current car-
ries the lifeblood of our entire war effort.
TREMENDOUS INCREASE IN POWER

average Amercan industrial worker had

advance
2% kilowatts of electri.al power at his
fingertips, but today he has 8 kilowatts.
American industry is now 90 per cent
electrified.
Total installed capacity in the United
States at the close of 1942 was 46% mil-
lion kilowatts. Output for the year, ac-
crading to reports of the Flederal Power
Commission, reach the all-time peak of
18E8 kilowatt-hours, a gain of 12 per
cent over 1941.
While this great increase in power pro-
duction was taking place, major changes
were occurring in corporate structure
within the electric utility industry.
The Holding Company Act, passed by
Congress in 1935 to prevent the milking
of small operating units by controlling
organizations and administered by the
Securities and Exchange Commission
iSEC), constrains each public utility
holding company ad its subsidiaries to
limit their business to a single, geo-
graphically3 inegrated system.
In addition the law compels carportte
simplifiwation, requiring muder its so-
called "death sentence" clause the ulti-
mate elimination of upper controlinfg con-
rcis where holdlings have been steeply
pyramided above the operating levrl.
By the middle of last November more
than 100 operating utility subsidiaries
had been severed from their parent hold-
nug ronilrades i accordance
n with the
Act. Most of the divestments were ac-
complished through sale; occasionally
they occurred through transfer or ex-
change of stock. The vast majority of
these divestments were effected under
voluntary plans for compliance with SEC
orders,
THE ASSOCIATED GAS AND ELEC-
TRIC SET-U I'
The Associated Gas and Electric sys-
tIm, Almeiica,' largest electric utility
network at one time was co....)ocd of
over 500 subsidiary companies. By June
1, through mergers, sales and other meth-
ods, the number had been reduced to
about 100. Present blueprints for the As-
sociated organization call for its ultimate
breaking down into four substantially in-
tegrated ncedanis.s comprising:
I. New York-Northern Pennsylvania
area
FF. Eastern Pennsylvania New Jersey
area
Fib. Western Pennsylvania area
IV. Florida-Georgia area
The North American Company, top
holding concern for the second largest
utility system, was ordered by the SEC
to divest itself of some 80 subsidiaries
and to confie its holdings to the unit .. ow
controlled through its Union Electric
Company of Missouri. Recently the di-
rectors of North American voted to liqui-
date coatiely, despite the fact that it still
has a case pending before the U. S. Su-
prrme C.r.t challenging the constitu-
tionality of the Holding Company Act.
The Court agreed last spring to review
the case, but four of its justices were dis-
qualified from participating because of
illness during the hearings or previous
activities in connection with either the
company or the enactment of the law.
This left but five qualified justices or less
than the legal quorum of six to decide
the case before the close of the spring
session.

TRAINING Aahe Pta e
A'PIEN rT ICESInP training is basic to
the operation of a technological soci-
ety. Ae s magnlificent achieve-
ment in wartime can only be explained
by its technological organization and re-
sources which far outstrip those of any
other country in the world. Skill is basic
to technology. Skilled craftsmen are the
private soldiers of a great technological
army. caprained by engineers and tech-
nicians. Applenticeship training has been
given added impetus by the ptesent global
war. Ralher than lagging, apprentice-
ship training has advanced in this period
as it should and must. Everything that
could be done has been done to step up
basic craft training and to extend its in-
fnalnce to speciaflized workes in every
field of war effort.
The federal apprenticeship services
have an op. rating stair of more than 200
men, prinipailly field men, to stimulate
the fora .. lien of joint Iabeo'-manlagement
committees, whieh committees in turn set
uo machinery for the operation of a wide
net work of apprenticeship trailung
throughout the country. Labor and labor
unionists are Idaying important roles in
bids dtvelui...miL. Mot ,f the fitld nel
of the federal apprenticeship services
are drawn from union ranks. Unions are
aware that their future lies largely in the
continued development of theseeduca-
tional projects.

a large local union ecomposed of six
former local unions. This large and mod-
ern local union is ill thie charge of Gene
Caillac, internaloml representative, who
has appointed Al Slater as coordinator of
the training work. Mr, Slator has drawn
around him many influential people in the
field of education and has developed
leaders within the union itself to carry on
apprenticeship training. Just now classes
are being given in Los Angeles on eclo
tronies, led by professors from the Uni-
versity of Southern Califort.ia. Text-
books are being developed that are en-
tirely adequate far this specialized educa-
tional work.
One of the services that Local Union
No. 11 has performed in this field has
been the preparation of forms that enable
any local unionl to properly conduct ap-
pronticeship clas.es so that the appren-
tice will get the most out of his training
and the union will e sure to collect its
large investment in the apprentice.
Among the forms developed by Local
Unlion No. 11 alt:
I. Permane. it oifice rteords.
2. Shop steward's report.
3. First, second, third and fourth year
apprenticeship records.
4. Electrical work experience outlines.
5. Apprenticeship orientation tests.
With the dvelopment of these forms
the apprentieship training has developed
rapidly and smoothly, and apprenticeship
training may be said to have been put on
a sound, efliienut, educational basis at this
junturue.
The permanent office record gives a
complete educational history of the ap-
prentice. It has space for keeping the en-
tire hlstory of the apprentice's educa-
tional experience and has built up elassi-
feations of work in a simplified way so
that no matter how specialized the ap-
prentice's work becomees, a clear record
can be kept. This permanent office record
is developed somewhat on the Dewey
decimal system employed by libraries.
The extent in scope of the work at Los
Angeles can be indicated by the orienta-
tion test given incoming apprentices.

13 fe Tat& SECURITY
By GEORGE E. BIGGE, Member, Social Security Board
M,. Bigge addressed sessions of the
Mlassachusetts and Ohio Federations of
Labor cotventions.
AM sure there no is
occasion for me to
come here today to persuade you that
social security is a good thing for the
working people of this country. The
American Federation of Labor has been a
strong supporter of the social security
program, and is most outspoken in asking
for its extension to workers not now cov-
ered, and expansion to provide protection
against other important risks to which
workers are subjected. The Federation is
to be commended for its statesman-like
approach to this matter.
We sometimes get impatient with the
slow progress made in this field. We find
it hard to understand why anyone should
fail to support the social security pro-
gram which benefits millions of our peo-
pIe. But we mustn't forget that the idea
of having the government take a hand in
such matters is very new in this country.
It seems altogether natural now for labor
to give all-cut support to such a program
-but many of you will remember the
A. F. of L. convention at Vancouver il
1931 when unemployment insurance was
discussed. The Executive Council pre-
sented a report which turned down all
proposals for such legislation. "The own-
ers and management of industry," said
the Executive Counci, "can plan and ad
just the working time and the work-poli-
cies so that all working men and women
may be accorded an equitableshare of all
work available. Through the application
of the five-day workweek and the shorter
work day the slack of unemployment can
be overcome" That was only 12 years
ago. Retirement benefits paid by govern-
ment were likewise frowned upon for a
long time. That was too paternalstic. The
emphasis was on individual action, with
collective bargaining to assure the in-
dividual worker sufficient income so that
he himself could provide for his future
through savhins, in.urance, etc.
WORKERS CANNOT SAVE ENOUGH
But bitter experience convinced most of
us that even high wages will not provide
security for old age, or in case ef disabil-
ity or death. It just isn't possible for
every individual worker to save enough
to provide security for himself and his
family against all these risks, especially
in the face of recurring nimemployaent.
That's where social insurance comes in. It
pools the contributions of millions of
workers so that a small payment by each
one will be enough to provide security for
anyone who meets misfortune.
The Journal of ELECTRICAL WORKERS and Operators
Social Security Board
member declares higher wages
are not enough
The need for social security is not con-
fined to periods of diepress.on. People be-
come old or disabled or they die-and in-
dividuals even become unemployed - in
prosperity as well as in depression. So in
our modern industrial society, where most
of us depend upon our pay envelope for a
living, a social insurance program has
become essential if we want people to have
reasonable security.
So I'm not going to try to sell you the
idea of social security; I know you're for
it now. I should like, rather, to use the
few minutes at my disposal to discuss
with you a few of the proposals which the
Board has made for expanding and im-
provhig our social security program and
some of the problems which arise in that
connection.
PRESENT PROGRAM INADEQUATE
As you kn.ow. our present program pro-
vides three types of benefits-old-age and
survivors insurance administered di-
redtly by the Social Security Board; un-
employment benefits, which is a joint
federal-state undertaking, and public as-
sistance which is primarily a state and
local program financed in part by federal
funds. I shall not give much time to the
public assistance program. It is necessary
to help those who for soea reason or
other, can't qualify under the insurance
program. But it is based on need ani I
think we all agree all workers should be
brought under the insurance program as
soon as possible so the needs test can be
eliminated. We do think it's important to
revise the public assistance program so
that federal funds will be used to better
advantage. A larger portion of federal
funds should go to the poorer states,. par-
ticularly for aid to dependent children,
so that the rising generation, throu&,
better nurture and education may be
made more effective producers, and help
raise the income of their communities.
As for the unemployment ,ompensation
program, there is serious doubt that in its
present fprm it is adequate to meet the
needs of the post-war period. On the aver-
age, benefits are payable for only 10 to 15
weeks, depending on the state of residence
and on earnings. A large portion of the
claimants are still unemployed when bene-
fits stop. The period of eligibility should
be much longer, probably 26 weeks. We
think, too, the benefits should be higher
at least for workers with dependerts. I
was glad to see that Massachusetts sub-
stantially improved its program this year
in these respects. There is serious doubt,
too, that some of the state funds will be
adequate to meet the demands which may
he made upon them in the postwar period.
Other states have funds which are more
than adequate to meet any conceivable
situation. Some way must be found to pool
the funds or at least a portion of them so
they can be used to meet the need wherev-
er it arises. That's what social insurance
is for. The Wagner-Murray-Dingell bill
proposes to solve these problems by put-
ting unemployment compensation on a na-
tional basis the same as OASI. This is
unq.uestionably the simplest solution of
many of the problems in this field. If this
isnot to be done some way will have to be
found of sharing the costs in those states
which have chronically or periodically,
very heavy unemployment.
PROGRAM IMPROVED)
The OASI program was greatly im-
proved in 1939. Originally you remember
it provided only retirement benefits and
these were very small during the early
years. The amendments of 1939 provided
benefts for survivors in case of death
and for dependents of retired workers,
and made benefits in the early years more
adequate. But it is still too limited. The
Board believes the time has come to ex-
tend the programn to all employed personls,
whether working for others or self-em-
ployed. At the present time many of you
wvorlk art of the time in covered employ
mert and part of the time in non-covered
employment, or you may be self-employed,
as a sub-contractor, or the like. If you
were self-employed or in non-covered em-
ployment over half the time, you get no
protection even though you paid your con-
tributions. We have many such cases of
people who have almost, but not quite
enough covered employment to be eligible
for benefits. If all employment is covered,
this sort of thing will rarely happen. Not
only will 20,000,000 more persons be cov-
ered but a much larger proportion of coy
OCTOBER, 1943
,ed Vwckers .iI be el igild for benefits
at aly time, and the benefits will be larger
because all earnings will be used in com-
puting the size of the benefits.
Then, toro, we are reonn,ending that
the social security program be expanded
to protect the worker and his family
against Ioss of income from oiher .aus.s:
sickness and temporary or permanent dis-
ability, as well s unemphlyment, old age
and death. Now, a worker can gel benefits
if he is unemployed and able to wor.i, but
not if he can't work. He may get bene-
fits if he is old, but not if he is disaleld.
In normal tiies more people suffer loss f
income through disability than through
unelmploynn t, and hntlnieds of th,,-
sands are permanently disabled. We be-
leve the sanc benefits should be paid in
ease of sickne as in case of unentploy-
ment, and the sane for permanent disa-
bility as for retirement.
ANOTHER BURIDEN OF TIlE
WORKER
But the worker faces another big bur-
den: the danger of serIous ildless for him-
self and hi, fanily with the medical costs
and hospital bills which that ivolves.
Such an illness often results in ex)pense of
hundreds of dollars in a few weeks. Very
few peopl in normal times Ca. meet such
costs out of current earnings or savings.
Some go into debt to pay the hospital and
doctor bills; others are fo'red In accept
service oi, a charity basis, an many don't
get the necessary attention because they
can't afford it. Here is a place where social
insurance can be most helpfil. Since only
a small proportion of covered wIrkiks
will draw benefits i, any neyear, a very
small contribution from everyone will pro-
vide thie money with which to pay the bills
for tho.e whho ae unfortunate One ne,

worker lnd
tale half per cent by the em-
ployer, will pr-ovide Iifre oneny each year
than was acually
spent for hospinta bill,
in 1942, And money to pay doctor hils
be provided im the same way. The WagnIer
bill would make available for payment if

and hspitals .endera lot of service free
of elarye. This would make it ossthile for
Lben. to bi a id in practially all cases.
And mlay I add a word more about this.
It has been suggested that such a ,'o-
graml woulM be an entering wedge for
"socialized dine." I don't know just
what that means. If it imnplies that tihere
is any ibtention to interfere wiih the
practice of ,nedjejne, or the standards of
soeico. , to put physicians on a sanlary
basis, fi make them ghvvrnflieft em-
ployee.. or to assign physicians to pa-
tients, or patients to physicians or to
hospitals, it is entirely incorrect. There is
nothing in our reemnmendatiout or so far
as I can see ini the Wagner-Murruy-Din-
gell bill, which woul in any way affect
the doctor or the hospital in their rela-
tions with their patients. The purpose of
the proposal is simply to take sure that
patients will have the money with which
to pay their hills, I ean see Io reason why
any physician should objt to that.
Somne people seem to feel the idea of
social security is all right, but that the
program I have suggested costs too
muchl. Let's see if it does, It is estinmated

and hospital hills.
Just to see w such
hat benefits are

pays 6 per cent in contributionsthat
would be $6 a month or $72 a year. Let's
say he works 10 years. He has contributed
$720. Then he dies, leaving a wife and
two chidren--aged 5 and 9. In the first
place, under the proposed program, there
would be money to pay the doctor's bills
aen hospital costs- -probably in full. This
in itself would often equala large pro-
portion of the total omtributions. Then
begi ning at once tie family would get,
on the basis of $100 a month, after ten
years tf ,niployinent about $48 every
nmcmiih until the oldest child is 18 unless
lhe mother remarried or went to york.
That would m ean over $5,000 during the
next nine years, Then the family would
get a little less until the youngest child is
18. Then, if the widow is under 60, pay-
menot would stop; but after she reaches
GO, she would get over $20 a month for
life. The total payments to such a family
may easily amount to $10,000 or more as
against $720 in contributions. If the
wages were higher b.nefits would be
higher, and contributions, too.
AND WE CAN DO 1T
Of course the employer h contributed
as
an ,qual am.ount, so the total contribu-
tions were $1,440 in this case, but even so
the benefits providd are many times the
cost to the worker and to the mployer
combined. Nov can this be done? It can be
done because it is a cooperative under-
taking like any insurance. Everyone con-
tributes an equal amount, and benefits are
paid only to those who become unem-
ployed, or sick, or disabled, or old, or who
die. Everyone has the same protection at
a fractitn of what it would cost him to
provide it for himself if he stood alone.
This family happened to be one that met
ids
foel ni-Lue.
But, soea.one says, at that rate a lot of
people would pay contributions but never
draw benefits. There probably aren't

. C., September-OctOhe,, 1943
A Plan for In the midst of much discouragement and
Business confusion there are many signs in America
today of sanity and progress. For example,
American business has expressed itself in a new way.
This is revealed by the leadership of Eric Johnston of
the U. S. Chamber of Commerce; in such books as
"Government, Business and Values" by Beardsley
Rum), a prominent business man; and in such books
as the "Spirit of Enterprise" by Edgar Queeny, a
leading figure in the chemical industry. These books,
if they show anything, show that business is willing
to make an adjustment to the necessitous environment
of a new order. New, not because it has been mali-
ciously created by radicals but by radical conditions.
There are other indications of this change. The
announcement by the National Planning Association
of a tripartite committee from labor, business and
agriculture, to work on a postwar plan merely sharpens
the impression, In the electrical construction industry
itself the appointment of a postwar planning commit-
tee by the union and by the contractors' association
is another case in point.
What is needed is a plan for business. Business's
plan should not be based on negatives. It should not
be based on childish resentment at being displaced
in a place of power that it had enjoyed for 40 years
prior to 1929. It should be a positive plan in line with
the tradition of the American way based on individ-
ualism, to be sure, but not afraid of guaranteeing
individualistic values by cooperation.
In Industrialists in other countries are feeling
England the tug of new forces. I. A. R. Wylie in her
book, "Flight to England", points out that
British industrialists are invaded today by a growing
sense of the inevitability of change; they do not resent
change and they are seeking to adjust themselves to
this change. The author states:
"Government control has come to stay.
"It is fairly safe to make the generalization that
the more educated an employer is, the more he sympa-
thizes with the claims of labor and the more easily he
overlooks excesses due chiefly to ignorance . .. They
The Journal of ELECTRICAL WORKERS and Operators
(the industrialists) must learn history, humanities,
perhaps the classics. For them the leanting of indus-
trial 'technique' is of secondary importance: in their
case, if anywhere, the achievement of the ultimate
function of education-to impart character and to
teach the understanding of man-is the supreme
necessity."
Social Security This Journal has often remarked
Poll that the newspapers do not give a
true impression of what the Amer-
Nos. 9-10
ican people are thinking. This was never more suc-
cinctly depicted than in the recent Gallup Poll on
Social Security. The newspapers create the impression
that labor's new bill in Congress is a maverick which
labor wants, but which the American people do not
want. The Gallup Poll dispels this impression. Here
are the questions and the vote according to the late
Gallup Poll:
"At present the Social Security program provides
benefits for old age, death and unemployment. Would
you favor changing the program to include payment
of benefits for sickness, disability, doctor and hospital
bills?"
The vote is:
Yes 59 per cent
No 29 per cent
Undecided 12 per cent
"Would you be willing to pay (or have your h~lsband
pay) six per cent of your salary or wages in order
to make this program possible?"
The vote of the 59 per cent approving the program
divides as follows:
Yes 44 per cent
No 11 per cent
Undecided 4 per cent
"At present farmers, domestic servants, govern-
ment employees, and professional persons are not
included under Social Security. Do you think the
Social Security program should be changed to include
these groups?"
Yes 64 per cent
No 19 per cent
Undecided 17 per cent
Chamber Labor would be blind indeed if it were not
President aware that Eric Johnston, president of the
U. S. Chamber of Commerce, has learned
how to make friends and influence people. He is a
westerner with a westerner's gift of mingling with
men on their own ground and is a hardworking busi-
ness man who has come up the hard way without loss
of democratic feeling.
OCTOBER, 1943
For the first time the U. S. Chamber of Commerce
has a president who does not concede that his principal
task is fighting unions. The Saturday Evening Post,
organ of business, features Johhlstoix in a recent issue
and describes him as the "young man in a snakeskin
belt." This artitle quotes Jodnston ias saving, "Only
the wilfully blind can fail to see that the old-style
capitalism is gone forever. The capitIlhalism which
lhrives on low wages and niaxhreLI profits, which
rejected collective bargaining and fought justified
public regulation of a competitive system is a thing
/ff the past."
So different is Johnston from his predecessors that
labor as well as business men are taken back. Mr.
Johnston sees the President of the United States
frequently. lie does not believe apparently that the
world is gsoin g to pot simply because Americans are
doing traditinmal things in a new way. 1b! speaks out
and he is winning hosts of friends in every direelion.
Not hIa Woiferi, a inewspapermlan, in his book, "The
Soft Battle of Guadalcanal." states: "A man doesn't
have to stick much more than his big toe into
this war to ind out that anybody who calls the present
generalien soft is just whooping hi Ilan empty barrel'"
This is good i1ews from one( who has flown in a
bomber with brave mel who were bombing Japanese
battleships. G uadalcanal and all of the Solonns have
seen fighting so rough and terrifying that it made the
t i days pale by contlrast. Ame.rhan boys to
kld Itdan
some people have seemed soft merelv behtuse of their
manners. They swagger a bit and they walk through
dangerous places with nonchalance. But thoughtful
Americans know that ouri athletic fields have been
conditioners of men. Baseball, basketball, football and
polo have produced artificial conditioning tot unlike
ihat of rmodorn battle. But their conditioning has been
something more than that. Their background has been
a hard tbackgronml. America has subdued a continent
wv ithin the brief space of 150 years. Anmrica is aRI
industrial nation and industry is no child's play.
The pioneer virtues apparently have not died in
moderi youith, but more than that softness or hard-

to bog down itnto the hell that Hitlier ])latta i for it.
Physicians and It has often been remarked that phy-
Social Security sicians represent a baikward pro-
fession when iI comes to social events, aims have been set up and learned. It would be a
out why this is, tc one seems to know. Why scientists
pledged to the policy of elevating human life should
go o(it of I ril'way to orgatize more or less clardesinei
agencies to oppose social advancenmeni, no one seems
to know.

The latest tool of the physicians is the National
Physicians Committee for the Extension of Medical
Service. This group is filling the newspapers with
cheap propaganda against labor's social security bill.
The appeal made by this group is cheap in the extreme.
It pretends that extension of the social security bill
which is the old insurance principle oil a contributory
basis is destined to Sovietize medicine.
Papers like the San Angelo Standard (Texas) and
the Oil City Derrick (Pennsylvania) are editorializing
in this direction with the assumption that labor's bill
for medical care will take away from the private
citizen the right to choose his own doctor. This is
positively false. The bill preserves individualism in its
entirety aid is in no wise all encroachment on the
medical proItession.
The truth is that whenever any reform is proposed,
the reactionary crowd alvays cries socialism and dis-
aster. The reactionary crowd tried this many 'ears
ago when the income tax was proposed. The reaction-
arv crowd tried this when the parcel post system was
proposed. The reactionary crowd tried this when the
social security system was put hito effect. No disaster
folkowed alny of these reforms. Th e private express
companies are richer and more powerful than they
ever were. The United States would be in a bad way
today without the income tax. The private insurance
companies have sold more insurance since the estab-
lishment of the social security program than they did
in any previous 20 years of their experience.
Physicians should wake up and discover the kind
of world they are living in and devote their profession
to its true goal-the elevation of human life.

Now yives interest in international affairs. American
labor and labor movements in other countries
have been very much in international politics since the
last World War through operating the International
Labor Organization, formerly in Geneva, Switzerland,
now in Montreal, Canada. The IL0 represents the only
successful international congress ever to operate for
any length of time. The League of Nations is all but
dead. The International Labor Organization is alive.
It is alive because it has been set up and has been
operating on a substantial, democratic basis. Tripar-
tite representation, that is. delegates from labor and
business and from government sit down around a table
together and discuss labor standards on all intetnta-
tional basis.
During the 20 years' existence of the ILO effectual
techniques, sound procedures, sensible standards. basic

several months now. We've victory

saved and we've salvaged and we've no-
operate(] in helping to keep prices down
and defeat the black market, and we've
learned, I hope, some worthwhile things
about nutrition and cooking and healthy
living. But this month let's change our
tune and even perhaps wax slightly senti-
mental, and take up somenof the lef;,
tangible, but still very important things
that are going to help win this war and
make this wartime world a happier place
to live in. The Wrnman's Page this month
is written to encourage our women to
keep their own morale high and that of
their husbands and children, and aims to
give some pointers in this regard,
First off, the men folks in your family
can do a better job whether at the fight-
ing front or fighting to prodIce more in
the industrial front, if they lave a happy
home behind them--that is, one that's
clean and cheerful and full of warmth and
friendliness and aliveness. That', your
first inspiration.
And secondly, for the sake of your
children, I think you'll want to tarry nut
some of the things suggested here. You
know I worry not a little about our
children, because they are being
brought up in an abnormal time, Hours
are long, everything and everybody
is rushed. Childhood is short and they
are missing a good many of the things
that make childhood precious. And
that's where you come in, to give then
the most of happiness and security of
which you are physically and spirit-
ually capable. This month theni we'r
stressing all the way through, home
morale. Morale at home for the chil-
dren, and for the grown-ups, too, is a
lot of little things like the smell of fresh
coffee when mother pours it from the
grocery bag into the waiting canister,
or like crawling in between fresh crisp
sheets and warm blankets when on
is dead tired, and like the leok of
flowers in great perfumed quantities
on the old table in the hall. Morale for
a child is a lot of simple things like
these-simple in themselvs, yet based
on the principles
of cleanliness, health-
ful living, love and care and comrade-
ship that make him feel secure andj
give him a great reason for life and
joy of living,

SUGGESTIONS FOR A HIGH.
MORALE HOME
(I) Make the home attractive. Cleanil
ness is the basis for an attractive home.
I know help is hard to get and the laun-
dry situation is terrible, but do the very
best you can on this score. Is your house
shabby and dull? If it is, do somethimg
about it. Now is no time to spend a lot of
money and we're definitely not advocat-
ing that--but mrvelous improvements
hae bLren ouade with, a little paint and it's
economy to keep things in repair. If you
have old faded drapes and slip covers
they can possibly be dyed in cheerful
colors or perhaps you can get a bargain

in some bright flowered material and
make some new drapes or colorful ctsh-
ions. Flowers or autumn leaves or spicy
pine about a roo.m and growing ivy or
philodendron on mantle or table, do a
great deal to make a room interesting
and "lived in."
(2) Mealtime is terrifically important
in a home--for the sessions around the
table when all the family are generally
together make for unity and harmony
among its members. l)on't just "get some-
thing together" and "slap it on the table,."
Make dinner time an event to be looked
forward to, Do the best you can to make
the table look nice and to plan appetizing.
colorful meals, Try to alternate the favor-
ite dishes in your family and try a new
recipe once in a while. Food is morale-
building so do your best on the menu side.
Fresh homemade vegetable soup, warm
spicy gingerbread, a juicy slice of roast
(on rare occasions whenyou can get it),
can do wonders for reviving failing spirits
and maliing folks contented.
(3) Plan amusement and recreation foI
youe family. The weekly movie is fine but
try to encourage home pleasures. Make
frequent trips to the local library for
books and magazines. Get some good
games for the children and join in with
them in the playing. There are oodles
of good card games to play and the
children will love having you play
with them (and don't think it won't be
fun for you, too), Encourage hobbies
and crafts in your family. A person
with a deep interest in some hobby
or activity gets a great deal of pleas
are front it and as a rule gets more
out of life and puts more into it be-
cause of it. And don't forget to have
neighbors or friends in oceasionally
for a game of bridgt, or just a hoein
evwming, perhaps topped with a coin-
muFanny so. We ,ed nity in our
United States now more than ever
before so start with you]: family and
your neighbors and do your part in
strengthening the bonds between ota
people.
(4) Number four, covers a lot of
little things-little ini)ortant morale
building things like rmaking a fuss
over family birthdays with a cake,. if
your sugar and hutter department
can possibly sland it, and observing
i
holiday, in some special manner. This
might mean only a cherry pie or
George Washington's birthday or
green paper shamtocks at each place .

READERS, ATTENTION
This number of the Journal is dated September-October.
Due to wartime shortage of paper, to slower mailing sched-
ules, shortage of labor, and greatly increased membership, the
Electrical Workers' Journal has sought to meet the issue by
combining two numbers in one.
All other numbers will he regular. Closing date for contri-
butions will he the same.
which shows that industry /s showing greater
profits, atur tax.s, than ever btefore while
sponsoring tax legislation to put a greater
burden on those who have the least. We
refer to the efforts to put over I sales tx.
This in spite of the fact that those
earning
as little as $624.00 per year are already
paying taxes to their limit without paying
sales taxes while industries' profits continue to
mount. Industries pay millions of dollars
for advertising in newspapers and magazines
telling of all the wonders thiy are perfurt-
ing to further the war effort but a nickel
an hour more in the pay envelope of their.
in many eases underpaid, emrployees is sabo
togo.
So what are we going to do about it?
Just this. Remember that election day is
coming and that you have a job to do, Sure,
it's an off year but that is all the more
reason to be on the job. See that you put
the right men in the judges' chairs and the
other Jobs to which we elect candidates in
an off year. At your union meetings begin
to make your own plans for that afterwar
transition period by writing into your new
agreements provisions for a shorter work
day and week and fight like anything for
unemployment insurance and all other bene-
fits that will prevent apple selling on street
corners, and bonus
oolertown5 .arches
when this war is over,
We do not believe that thin war will be
over very soon; we hope we are wrong, but
nl do believe that we must do all we ean
to break up the concerted effort that is
being made to wreck everytlir by and for
labor as well as labor itself, Therefore we
nsit take an active part in the A. F. of L.
plan to put the right men in office this
year, for what we do this year will have its
influence on the reactionaries that are in
Congreos for at least another year.
The big War Bond drive is on and by the
time this is read, will te over with, but
of this we are uare-labor will again come
through as it has before and will continue to
come through utntl the war is won.

L. U. NO. 18, LOS ANGELES, CALIF.
Editor: Not having had a letter in the
JOURNAl. for several months, Local No. 18
had, I think, beier he represented again
bIefor we are forgotten,
Like maot locals, we have been quite busy
dtring the past year with war work. How-
ever, thi, is Now beginning to slow duwn. t
lest 4o far as c onstruction
is concerned.
Many of our tme hers
are going to work in
production jobs in the shipyards and else-
whe to
Los Angeles hos now hera declared to e
a critical labor shortage area and placed nn
a forty-eight-hnur-weok basis. This may he
somewhat misleading as actually there is not
now nor has there ever been any shortage
of skilled electrical workers at established
union wage scales. At times we have been
scraping the bottom of the barrel, but nol
order for men has ever gone unlitled by our
offic. Most of the so-called shortage exists, I
think, among those substandard employers
and fly-by-night contractors who would like
to get linemen for about 90 cents per hour.
Here, as elsewhere in the nation, public
utilities have been held down to a bare mini-
mum, of necessary ropair and maintenance
work, with the result that many members
normally employed in this field have been
forced nut ilto construction work. Now that
construction work is coring to an end, they
will probably hare to line up some kind of
a production job to keep the wolf from the
door.
Many thousands of newcomers have flocked
into Los Angeles ullriong the pnst two yurs,.
most of them
straight from the farm. Upon
their arrival the entire family goes to work
in mnne defense plant and reeceves a com-
bined incone greater than they ever dreamed
possible. Howerer, this has not helped us in
our erffrt to spread our established wage
scales into these production jobs and many
of our members are going to have to accept
substandard wages for a while until these
people can be educated or until construction
work opens up,
Another thing which gripes me is the end-
less effort o. the part of these defense plants
tn do construction work with men they have
hire' a., maintenance men. It's bald enough
for our members to have to work for 50 cents
per hour below ou. scale xilltouL being ex-
pected to do work which should be con-
trated.
Well, it's wartime and I suppose we
;houldn't raie too much fuss, Just go on
buying War Bonds and hoping for the day
of victory and its attendant blessings, not
the least of which will, I hope, be the exodus
of the peapilckers from our midst and a re-
turn of electrical work to electrical workers.

Editor: Well the people of Ontario finally
turned on their toamenters and gave thonm
the "bun's rash." In other words,. the voters
of this province woke up to the fact that they
had the final say as to who was gelig to bad-
ger them to death with commissions, commit
tees and labor courts. They not only voted
the liberals out of office, they stuffed their in four or fivemeetings they night learn some-
the ash can, but, in the process of so doing.
the tories jumped out when they lifted the
lid. It is true we are no better off with the
conservatives in power with 28 seats, but the
C. C. F. with 34 seats, acting as the opposi-
tion, claim that the coninon people are goin,
to receive more consideration in matters
pertaining to Canada's tolal war effort and
also in the pontwar era. This all sounds very
familiar. but the best we can do for the time
beiig is give them our support* (or with some

increase in the co.t-of-living bonus for this

quit wearng bhustles but the figures they used

we sanio our part is to act aside certain

War Bonds are an exellent means: moneys

inflationi
The good newscoming from our fighting
froats is asign that the serious proberas of
our war economy may soou change to a juat-

production to peace-time manufacturing.
Industrial conversion requires from six to
18 months; public works require almost two
years frop, the date of authorization nntil
they actually provide emploiment for work-

defense centers back tn their home terni-

of planning the postwar reconstruction. There
are nlally who term this as a politicalmov
and a bid for a fourth ter,. However, this is
one of the most serious prohlens that con-
fronts the country today. Do we want the
bread lines the apple stanls and the veterans
Atarehing on Washinlngtan?
The American Federation of Labor is stress-
ing the immediate strengthening of social In-
surance for emergencies, to protect self-sup-
porting workers against being thrown on re-
lief during this period.
Social Security or insurance is not a gift.
We mnust invest from our earnings in order
to have insurance for emergencies., At the
present time the largest force is employed in
all time to supply our civilian and military
needs. National income
is at a new high, taxes
going also. Taxes, because our government isspend-
ing a hundred million this year alone. Next
year's taxes will exceed those of this year.
All that can be collected row must go to pay
for all-out war production.
You Ire now paying taxes to provide for
the security of the nation. Why not pay an
additional tax to provide for your own setup.
ity in the postwar reconstruction period?
Social insurance funds are invested in :led*
erl bonds and immediately serve as credit for
the war effort and later provide funds for in-
surance paynents.
ThIre usI two bills now before the Houses
of Congress known as HI, R. 2861 and S. 1161,
identical bills, sponsored and introduced at
the request of the A. F. of L. These bills
provide for the added security payments to
workers in the period we are soon to face. The
House of Rtepresentatives nust act first. ac-
cording to constitutional procedure. The
House Ways and Means Committee must hold
hearintg on this bill, and only will do so if
thert ia enough public demand for earae.
Therefore write to your congressman and
tell hi, that you want this bill reported out
of comminttee. If he is not on the Ways and
there committee and ask that they consider favor
ably. This is your possible salvation as well
as mine and the fellow's around the corneraso
don't fail, Brother; contact your congress-

Edihor: ell1o everybody, back again. Local

is ready for action. The foliowing BIrothrs
were elected President, C. W. Davis; vice
presilent, F. E. Stubbs: financial secretary,
C. C. {oss: recording secretary, W. L.
Stnbbs. To the exeutive board, R. A. Gar-
ner and J. A, Bennett; for press secretary
the ohl sentinel. Our new officers are to be
congratulate'l for fine start. A barbe-
their
rue started the busiess with a bang at Adams
Park with some 200 present. We had plenty
of barbecue, beer, soft drinks, and all the
other accassories that make an outing en-
joyable,. The committee is Ie
to congratulated
and in my opinion should be drafted for the
next one, Our old bbosses" wer. present and
made short talks. All seemed to be happy aid
full
of pep (beer.
AS this etter is written nothing has ap-
peared in the news colmn as to what hap-
pened to the raise granted by the hoard. But
no news may le good news, We all hope so
as our taxes have really naille the wage

has turned out to be an 18 karat flop with
prices still rising I positively do not ktow

Litdll will be said when this i waoi,
If those good old boys of the past,
Who worked with the tools from sun til sun
That this land of the free might last.
Many had ti to a well earned rest,
Anad the comfort, of an easy chair,
Bitt they came back to do their best
And fight with their
buddies there.
Throntth the unls jeep they couldn't wade,
They couldn't Iail the ocean blue,
Bfl at the bench they plied their trade
With Brothers lIlke e and you,.
Their batks were bent and their brows were
wet,
A. they trudged himeward on weary feet,
Blit a smile it their faces when, friends they
me't
On ihl crnwded ad htusy street,
he'ir eves Iere dim.n..d frol an earlier [lay,
Wilen they toiled in the dirt and grime,
Bitl heir hearts were tight cnd showed the
way,
Labor will, "Till the End of Time.'
Sone had passed the age of three score and
len,
And for long hours were hardly fit,
But r;od knows they didn't falter when
Duty faIled them to do their bit.
SO w,-'l gil-e a little credit where it is duo,
And look back through the years with pride,
At the
plnts that into monume nts grew
As you worked with him], side by side,
his t mon 't he caIrve*d On a grl] n'ie hase,
It -oin't comI from historian' pen,
Bttl through the years, his kindly face
Will be stamped on the hearts of len,.
And now a toast to the boys of the old brigade
Whn cane back and gSi.e their all,
May you sit again 'neath the maple's shade
When they sound the ail clear call.
L io.ething
.re that, to quot "Snuffly
Smith," really takes the 'rag offen the bush,
Oni of our popular and carefree members
hied himself off on a fishing trip recently
and when }e returned from this pistctorial
spree, hai to go afishing for another job.
('an anyone imagine a guy so little in-
teerated in the war effort that he goes fish*

I wonder how many members of the 1. B.

help to finance it. Any system of insu-
ante against old age, disability, and death,
if properly financedd, vill rolleet much
more in the early years of its existence
than it will pay out in benefits. Relatively
few person will retire or be disabled or
die eacb year, so the costs will be low to
begin with, but year by yar others will be
added to the tolls and the costs will in-
crease ,anyfold.The surplus collected in
the early years will help to meet the costs
in the later years without making later
contributions too high. That su. phtt, which
would be collected now under the proposed
progran, would amount to several billions
of dollars a year. The money would be
lent to the trea..ury and help finance the
war. The treasury would burrow it from
the insured workers instead of borrowing
that much more from the banks, Later,
when the benefits are paid, the treasury
would pay off the bonds to the trust fund
instead of to the bank and the trust fund
would pay the worker, Such a program
would provide fl .ds for the truasury noW
and security for the worker at the same
time.
Don't misunderstand me. I'm not say-
ing that social security alone would meet
the needs of the postwar periodh It won't,
We'll need jobs millions more than we
ever had before. These jobs must be pro-
vided by private industry if our system of
free enterpis, is to endur,-a,,d it must
endure if we are to remain a democracy
as I understand that term. That's why I'm
glad to see so many leaders of industry
planning for full employment in the post-
war period.
But there is no inconsistency between
planning for full employment and plan-
ning for social security. Both are neces-
sary. Full employment presumably will
produce a maximum income. A social
security program will help to distribute
that income so it will produce the greatest
welfare. It is a device for distributing in-
come at any time between those who axe
able to work and those who are unable to
work, Whether income is high or lw,
whether times are good or bad, such a
program, as I have outlined assures every
person and every family a minimum hi-
com.e. It wont abolish poverty perhaps,
but it will prevent want, and by assuring
proper nourishment and medical rare to
the rising generation, it vill help lift us
to a new level of prosperity higher than
we have ever known. That's an objective
to which I'm sure we can all give in-
limited support.

prevent the working of extra hours, but
as all constrmction people know, there
were times when such overtime work
cold ,t be avoided. In January, 1941,
after much effort, the Administration
secured a ruling from the Comptroller
General which said, in effect, that if the
wages; for classifications of laborers, ran-
chialics and workmen were fixed by wage-
fixng boards, in accordance with prevail-
ing rates of pay, then overtime could be
paid at prevailing rates for work in excess
of 40 hours per week. Accordingly, in line
with the Conptroller General's ruling,
we set up a formal wage-fixing board,
which provides for investigation of rates
paid by others for similar work, together
with the consideration of collective bar-
gaining agreements.
PROBLEMS OF ADMINISTRATION
The course of our negotiations in ar-
triing at the mutual understanding now
existing with labor has not always beenl
smooth. There were many problems. The

as well as position-quite often they ex-
tend from one area of local prevtilhug
wage rates through anotherarea and
into a third area of local prevailing wage
rats-all different. In the states of
Washington and Oregon there were nu-
*nerous areas of local prevailing wages.
The local scales vary widely. Notwith-
standing the fact that labor has for years
attempted to standardize local prevailing
rates and bring abelt uniform pay scales.
there was at that time quite often a
difference in some crafts of 25 cents per
hour between the prevailing rates of pay
for the different crafts in the several
localities.
This fa t evetntally led to several near
misunderstandings Because the Adinistra-
tion had at one tiome 64 construction poreela

sary to transfer Bnel from one job to atotier

Finally, after considerable discusalon il

states of Washington and Oregon, the
principle of a comproise between the pity

scales of the low rate areas was endorsed

and the representtivesof labor. In the
same manner, conferences have beIen hehl

measuring the length of the runs, and leaving
a pull line in the conuits. (2) handling, that
is, cutting and r e-reeling

(3) pilling the wire and cable inlto the con-
duits. This may not have been the most effi-
cient way of pallin wire; however, th, re-
subs were not disappointing.
With runs of the same length, regardless of
the size of the conduit, the fishing time was sary eleent
practically the same. The handling ti., in -

ril of the wire and cable. For the same nur

for wires fromI 1/0 to 850:000 CM. Ihepulling
timewas limited by the speed 0f the puller.

For over three wires in a conduit an in-
crease in the hanriding and pulling time was
noted.
For four wirs in a conduit the handling
tine increased one third, and the pulling time
increased 12 per ctet.
For six wires in a Conduit the handin rig time
dnubled, and the pull ing time increased 36 per
eit. The difliulIty was more in feedrg the
wires into the eornld'it tChil pilllinrg.
Pulling lead covered wire and cable into a

ADDRESS, G. M. BUGNIAZET, I. S.
1200 Fifteenth St N. W. WasliIngtotn 5, I). C.
"Q ne of the truths I have learned is that the moment
you reach a conclusion on anything, set it up as a fact
and refuse to listen to any new evidence, you have
reached an intellectual dead-center. Ossified knowledge
is a dead weight to the world. I would swap a whole
truckload of precedents anytime for one brand new
idea. You can trace the progress of man straight along
through the centuries by setting down. the inspirations
of unfettered minds. Moses was an agitator and radical.
Christ was an inspired dissenter. Columbus shocked
the mossbacks of his time by asserting that the world
was round.
"The history of the world is one of revolts, heresies,
idol smashing and the consignment of precedents to the
everlasting junk pile."
-LUTHER BURBANK
in "The Harvest of the Years"
