Ah, what will Nineteen Ninety bring?

When the same old earth turns green with spring?
Will clover wave from last fall's stubble?
Or weeds be green on a lost world's rubble?

Will the sun glow warm on a fallow globe

While nature renews her green spring robe?
From rosy sunset to twilight dim?
And mankind, what has become of him?

What did he do with that strange new fire?

Outgrow his childish fighting desire?
Release for good its magic power
Or pass in flame in one short hour?

then it runs. I1 the walking and run-
stage there is very
anybody can do about it." This
liLtle thiat
stat
was made by Chester Bovles, stabilization
director, at a private dinner in Washing
ton. Now the question is: is the present ill-
flatiotn in the c-reeping or walking stage?
During the Civil War the dollar got down
to 32 cents in value i)u ing the fil'st Worlld
War the dollar rached the point of about
i68 cents of buying power. Pride was taken
in the fact that dluring the second. World
War the dollar was held to the value of 78
cents, but its deterioration is in sight. It is
likely that the satistical reports on the
value of the doalal are not acrura.e bIecause
of the large blaclk markets and the fact
there is so n.uch monBkey busless gtoing
on in regard Lo pBurchases.' lundlieds of
schemes arte being dleveloped to get au-oundl
the few controls left onl prices. Bonuses
being paid for houses. automobiles anll
drrls of other eon.,llo..itCs,. Momt-y is being
passedl freely for the privileges of purchase.
The old economy is pretty sick.
Retain the OPA
Opposition to removing price controls
and other forms of intervention in the run-
away economy is stiffenin. Whether this
new opposition ias accumuilated in ti.n. to
prevent serious depression is a question. It
iv afact that memibers of the United States
Senatt have received hundreds of thousands
of let.ors petitioning for the re,,util...i of
OPA in oppoitiln tithe policy of the lower
Ilonuse in cuttineg away controls.
What miost optimists ar ic oliafting Ill is
the aecunu.hlteld funds in banks aid in
private accounts to stave off set i... de-J
pres-ion. The optimists forget thiat money
call b dissipated very fast when i.nt's
ilicome stops, factories cease piLrL'uce,
Lto
and the depression is really here. Even
in 1929 when the great crash cae r -any
optb ists were saying that prosperity was
just around the corner, but it took Il years
b) bring back soethin jg like aI halethy
et.i.o.ly.
For the Ipres.et, a hopeful sign in theLlen-
orally dark iC trOe is the way employment
has held up. Fven now there are nly albout
three million unemployed in thile United
States and the actual employment is be
tween 54 and 55 million--a very hilgb figure
for this country. One reason for the present
good employient is the great number of

depression by 1947 or 1950.
Employment holds up. How
long?
withdrawals from the manpower market of
wuokers that were busy dtmriing tie war,
Soenc obsr vers believe that five million wo-
nl hiltv laid down theh' tools and quit
work, MIany veterans lhave not foundIwork
utmare enrolled in scfio.s.I This is true for
young civilians so that the employment
situation looks pretty good.
Inflotion Is Dangerous
(Chester Bowles issued a statement
Washington in which he says:
"But in the aeantimie until shiortages of
are mterial.s and paTlls ale eliinlated and in-
unll- til the storis are full of colsumer Loods
the danger of an explosive inflation is gtave.
Blothi busines and c.olsulre' s have himlense
liouil savings. If they should become cion-
viincel that prilees wreSo rig up sharply,
thley woull try to protret themselves By
turning their mley sa,,ings into whatever
goods they coul..d fidi. Ti would mea,n that
the act.ual workirig ilemand would glieatlly
ex'e.l supplies of everything. This is ex-
actly the situation which gives rise to gyrat-
img, cuiulativ e inllation fienee it is impera-
tive to Imaintail rito stability until the
ecolnomy is working It capacity, shortages
aeiillninated and people see the stores Full
of goods.'
There is some talki in Washington
iarikets in construction,. both bial
and labor.
To . i.e who lived ihrough the first World
War andi the period thereafter there is very
litrtle that seems strange in the p resent
situatioi. The
wvondeo r i that lionhua
learns very little f itIoexperienec. When

In 1916 thie ost of living began to rise
sharply but theye were few wio saw its sig-
dieancue. A, late as 1917 Congress actually
ha- tened thile rise in prices by reducing the
reserve reqdirenilntis for.. nl.i. r bailks of
the Federal Reserve System.
After World War I
In 1917 wh liesale prices had risen to a
pir
level abo. t 511 cent above that of 1914;
while in 1918 whole prices, despite various
controls, akeraged 9:3 per rent above 1914.
The real wages of post office workers
were cut I per cent between 1914 and 1919.
By 1920) primcs had skyroketed to twice
the level of five years ealier. Consumers
found that food., fuel, shelter and clothing
which cost I$1in Apil, 1911i, had risen to
almost $2 by 1920 A fanlily with no in-
crease in itolt... i found its purchasing power
cut in half. One dollar Tucked away in 1914
had only $0.18 of real purchasing power in
1920.
in Prices of building materials were 218 per
cent above prewvar levels.
Before th, ersh, rents had climbed five
tinles as far as during the war.
In May, 1920, the boom collapsed as buy-
ers went on strike. Fatory pay rflls
dropped -14 ]pel ceit, farml income 66 per
cenit and our 6 billion doliar corporation
profits were transformled into a 5f million
dollar loss.
Where in 1920 four bushels of corn paid
interest aid taxes on an acre of mortgaged
land in Iowa, ia 1921 it took 12 bushels.
A look at the following table from a
weekly reporl whose aim is eonsun.ers' pro-
teetion, will point out the value of price
control Coniparison of prices in 1920 with-
out ceilings wih today's prie with ceii-

Bets in Washington are that a new de-
iression will show itself by 19417; at the
latest 1948, wili a seriou low perioid in

CANADIANS KEEP CONTROL
In the neighbori i I..ll.i
v e Ii the.or th,
Canada also fights irilabin. n the following
release sent to (ainadian
Minister of Labor, indicates:
During the last war ani up to today
Canada has managed by meians of prile con-
trol to maintain a general price level in this
country which has enabled wage earners to
purchase goods anod services at reasonabie
prices. This is in striking contrast to eondi-
tions in many other.ntriities where, due to
failure to control prices, the purciaslng
power of wages is much less than beLfoe

It must be borne in mind, however, that
prices cannot be kept unider eontrl .inless
at the same time there is made effIcLiv a
measure of stabilization. This is because
wages form a very conside-able part of the
cost of producing the goods and services we
all must use. Wages have value only in rela-
tion to their purchasing power. In other
words, the real value of wages depends upon
the amount of goods and setrris wages will
buy. Obviously higher wages mean nothing
if they are absorbed by higher prices. In-
creases in wage prices, where they cannot
be taken care of by the employer out of
profits, are bound to increase the costs of
goods and services.
It was for this reason that during the war
Just ended the Donnliian Government
adopted what it considered a fair anml rea-
sonable wage control policy. Under this
policy wages were stabilized but were not
frzen. Thousands of wage rate increases
were ordered by the War Labor Boards, so
that notwithstanding the adoption of a
general policy of stabilizing wage rate.,
wages being paid today in the main occupa-
tional and imndustrial groups are the highest
in Canada's history.
Action of WLB
Under our wage policy legislation. a War
Labor Board m.ay di'ect any employer to
raise wages if it can be shown that he is pay-
ing less than the going wage for similar
work in his own er comparable Iocality. A
board may also authorize an employer to
raise wages nn any other realaonable basis
provided he can continue to sell his goods
or services without raising prices.
If workers feel they are justified in sek-
ing a wage increase. stellps should be taken to
have the matr s ublimitted to the app.ropri-
ate War Labor Board on which olgalliZel
labor is properly represented. Every stod
application has the assurance of being eon-
sidered on its merits. Strikes to support such
applications are prolhibited but this is a
necessary safeguard to ihnsure the maillten-

U. 5. Employment Service
It was the immediate problem of the
transitional period which was the concern
of those closest to the labor situation. With
the cooperation of citizens and civilian or-
ganizations including the Red Cross. and
rmn's and women's local clubs, the U. S. .m-
ployment Service proceeded to establish in
communities throughout the country ofices
which vould provide jobs for men return-
hlg from war and from the areas where
there had been,, emor.enlO y war work. These
offices were organized and managed by local
committees. The U. S. Employment Service
acted as a le.aring house, keeping the
records of jobs and of men, and dilrecting
the men senit to them by local bureaus.
In the meantime production under con-
tract with the Government was 'ing
stopped so rapidly that the employment
service, which had agreed to the dher-
tralized control of the entire project of
cancellation, complained to the War Diepart-
ment that its own explicit instructions to its
district officers were being ignored ill some
areas. No advance notice of cancellations
was being sent to the labor representatives.
and in the Ohio area laborerse were bring

in areas where thiis situation existed were

idle workers.
Surplus Loabor
By Decenmber 28, surpluses of labor were
mountaing daily inl the cities where wr in-
dustrieo were eo.ing down. The inmmdliate
situation was most critical in Ohin amlnd
Michigan. The South was the only secien
of the country where there was an increas-
ing dem .ad for aor resulting in large part
from the continued exlpmansion in shipbui. l-
lug. Day by dlay the industrial ituition
grew more distressing. Allnlnts itions enr crs
were laffeted. The area of surplis lablor
comprised in general the States of Massa-
chusetts, (n,.ne. icult, New York, Ohio,
Michigan, and ndianda. The number of wolk-
er5 out (f employment was increasing in
these areas.
Although the program for the deMnobili-
zation of tie soldiers was still in ilts fure-
ative stage, more than ;00,000 men were re-
leased during December, of whom. only
70,000 were men returned fronm oerseas.
About 30 per cent of those released i IDe-
cember were demobiized in areas Where
workers were rapidly being released ilom,

the mjority of these men returned prompt-
ly to their homes. They had not been sub-
.eeted to experiences which alienated them
from their environment, as had the men in
the American Expeditionary Force.
It was the minority which drifted aimless-
ly about the big cities. Although these men
were not rpreseltative of the whole they
did constitute a restless, roving group. Idle,
and joined with unemployed and disaffectd
war workers, they formed a potentially dan-
gerous element in the nation's life. Wise.
courageous, and sympathetic soluition of
their problems could not result from ex-
pedient decisions of the monment; it couid
come only from mature eons.ieration of
operating procedures worked out well ahead
of their use, with subsidiary plans for meet-
ing inevitable unfarseen emergenilr.
* * America's share (1917 18) in the
winning of tile first World War was mlad
possible by ihe efforts of the millions of
men and women, industrial workers, and
soldiers whose immediate postwar fortunes
have been the subject of this discussion.

the confused and sometimes tumultuous

TRAINING /Pwomdy/a"d
B. ERSKITNE, admiidstra-

GENERAL Retraining andl lbceonwIl cymut
Admninistration, United States Depart-
menat of Labor, has issued an important
group of standards governing the training
of G. 1. men. The standards state:
"It is the desire of all concerned that max-
inmm opportunity for on-the-job training be
made available to veterans, but it is equally
important that such opportunity be of a
worth-while character and bring adequate
return to the veteran in terms of training
received."
The standards go on to state:
"Subsistence allowances for on-the-job
training have been provided under Public
Law 346, 78th Congress (C. I. Bill of
Rights), to assure economic scurity ti vet-
erans who want to learn a job whichl will
increase their earning capacity and their
op l.. iunity for enmployment and advane-
rmnt. Subsisle ce payments are in addition
to the wages paid by the employer luring
the training period. The maximum subsist
ene allowance under this training program
is $65 a outh for vuteraule without di-
pwndents andl $90 a moth for those with de-
pendents. Combined wages and allowance
cannot exceed the wages of the experienced

Purpose of Allowance

scheme or if tie period of sbsidized. train-
ing were praIoaged unneressarily or vet
erans were trained for non-existent jobs.
Safeguards have beeni set up in some statea
through the appointment of local advis,.e
colmittees mlade up of representatives of
management, labor, veterans, and educa-
tion to review the programs proposed by
employers and o) servo a. ensultants to the
veterans on the adequacy of the job train-
ing offered them."
What Is Apprenticeship?
Apprenticeship is d'Ifinhd:
"Apprenticeship is a form of training for
which subsistence allowance may be pay-
able. StLandard to safeguard the welfare of
apprentices are established by state and
fedelal apprenties.hip agencies. These
standards cover employment and training
for recognized trades which require at least
4,000 houars of training through employ-
ment supplemented by 144 houus of Melated
classroom instruction each year of the ap-
prentie..hip."
The following standards are promul-
gated:
"The state approving agency should con-
sider for approval only those establishments
offering training programs which are sub-
mitted in conformity with the above speci-
fcations and should approve only those
round upon investigation to have met or
made provision for meeting the following
criteria:
"1, The training content of the program
is adequut to qualify the veteran for amp
pointnent to the job for which he is to be
trained.
"2. There is reasonable certainty that the
job for which the veteran is to be trained
will be available to him at the end of the
training period as is evidenced by such
factors as the ratio of trainees, veteran and
non-veteran, to trained workers.
How It Works
"3. The job is not in a standard wage
classification, in which progression and ap-
pointment to the next higher classification
are based upon such factors as length of
service and noril turnover, and not upon
skills learned through organized training
on the job.
TO THIS
"4. The wages to be paid tle veteran for
each ,succssiveperiod of training are not
less thn those customariiy paidi in the es-
tiblishment and the comniunity to a
eariner in the same job who is not a vet-
coranand are in conformity with state and
federal laws and applicable bargaining
agreelnunts.
"5. Tile job customarily requires a period
pr haining which justifies the netting up of
a complete program of not less than 500
hours tofrinling.
"6. The length of the training period is
no longer than that customarily required
by the establishment and other establish-
monte in the community to provide the
trainci with the required s-ills, arrange
for the acquiring of job knowledge, techni-
cal information, and other facts which tile
trainee will need to learn ii order to be-
comae competeun on the job for which he is
being trained.
"7. Provision is made for related instru-
ti Dn.
"8. There is in the establishment ade-
quate space, euipnment, instructional ma-
terial, and instructor personnel to provide
satisfactory Lraining on the job.
"9. Adequate records are kept to show
the progress made by the veteran toward his
job objective.
"10. Appropriate credit is given the vet-
elan for previous job experience, whether
in military service or elsewhere, his begin-
ning wage adjusted to the level to which
such credit advances him, and his training
period shortened accordingly.
"11. A copy of the training program as
approved by the state agency is provided to
the veteran by the employer.
"'12. Upon completion of the training the
veteran is given a certificate indicating the
length and type of training provided and
attesting to his competency in the job for
which he was trained.
"13. Employees of the establishment are
advised of the training program.
"14. The approving agency should have
geess to the establishment for the purlpose
of assisting in the development and im-
proveament of the training program."

RANKFORT, Germany, was an indus-

trial city of about 600,000 population. It
felt the impact of thousands of Ameri-
can and British bnmbs,. It lies today pretty
much a ruin. But in the center of the city,
a tall, white offie building of massive size
is still standing, being used as headquarters
of the United States military staff. This is
the office building of 1. G. Farben. It has
.esaped devastation. Whether this was by
design or not, it is a fact that the properties
of this great Gernan ,artel have beel

'"May I call tile priposedI combination for

so that no onI can manfufaetuto it excepting

To study cartels is to study unfree enter-

under it, the world is zomle for makrits,
allocated to given members of the carte.

VOICING the view that incentive plans
are no solution to the top-heavy ec..oniy
V under which the American workers op-
erate, James Preston, International repre-
sentative, International Brutherhood of
Electrieal Workers, disturbed the com-
placency of the members of the Confereuce
Club, an employers' group ill the automo-
bile city.
Mr. Priestn viewed incentive plan as
only sops to workers in an economy wheire
over-capitalization, incompetent manage-
ment and inflated factory overhead charges
would prevent any such incentive plan from
working.
Mr. Preston spoke as a representative of
the A. F. of L.:
"Taken all in all we have only albout 15
million persol. who are actual prodlucers to
create suffiient wealth to support a popula-
tion of 135 million.
A Tremendous Burden
"We can then conceive this picture of an
inverted pyramid of not more than 15f mil-
lion workers being held responsible for the
support of 135 million persons and that's a
burdensome load in any mnn's language.
"We have just fought a war and are now
fighting a peace that cost 680 billion dol-
lars and that figure does not include the
monumental loss of life and property nor
dues it include the cost of relief past, plea-
ent and future. What an appaling iniiet-
ment that is of industrial and political mis-
management on a world scale.
"Again I ask you, by what stretch of the
imagination will incentive wage pay.ment
salvage our couomy? Incentive wage pay-
nent as we know it today, and as applied
today, has been tried in all of its variegated
forms over a long period of countless years
and it has never solved the riddle of el,-
omies. It never will.
Part of the remedy for our economic ills
is to reduce the monumental overhead ex-
pense now being visited upon the produc-
tion worker. We definitely must reduce that
1) to I ratio. More persons mnust becomea
elf-supporting and cease riding on the
workers' shoulders.
"Dnn't forget, the condition that creates
a desire in the minds of men to chang, gov-
ernmental systems is an over-burldnd peoo
ple.
Labor Is Reasonable
"Labor is not reaching for the moon. La-
bor asks only a reasonable sbow wi h pro-
tection from the squeemze play of nlanipla-
tars. Furthermo.re, labor is intensely loyal.
It il nut clane ga overrunertal systemi
for merely transient purposes. Labor is not
interested in benevolence, charity, or pa-
ternalism. Labor has learned.-the hard
way- that something for nothing is noth-
ing for something.

and grim, staring them in the face: when
they see little Sis traipsing off to school

taedable point of efficiency.
"If those things fail to resolve our dlifi-
cultlea, we are a gone goose."
Employer Takes Issue
Addressing a letter to Mr. Preston after
the address, Allen B. Crow, president of the
Conference Club, took issue with the point
of view expressed by Mr. Preston. Mr. Crow
said:
"Since your audience, however, was con,-
posed for the most part of employers and
the represeniatives of management, a ma-
jority of whom are operating their plants
and business organizations under working
agreements with either the A .. of L. or
the (LO, a very considerable number of
those present have stated to the writel that
you mirsed a very unusual opportunity to
make friends for organized labor beauc iof
your placing the emphasis of your remarks
entirely upon your 'indictment of mnalllge-
ment' aaa whole for the shortcomings of a
few.
'Do yenou not agree that if we are to make
progress in the field of industrial relations
and thereby bring about greater production
and a higher standard of living for all ur
people, the emphasis rather must he platel
upnn those lmethods and those programs
wherehy we may build bridges of umid,-
standing and cooperation instead of ftr, ech
side to dig deeper fox holes from which we
can hurl further charges, invectives, and
atomic bombs at each other?

CHATFIELD,
By CHESTER
By CHESTER CHATFIELD,
MPLOYEES of City Light in Seattle,
Washington, have developed a program
of free technical educationm for them-
selves that is well worth examining, as it
embodies several ideas that might be used
profitably by many utilities and their
workers.
The program was started by the formna-
timonof the City Light Education Commitee,
a group of 11 men from various divisions of
the utility who got together and agreed to
donate their time. They immediately estab-
lished three sub-committees: One to organ-
ize classes; one to create a library; one to
devise practical demonstrations of electrical
equipment.
Employees Plan Program
It must be noted that although City
Light's superintendent, E. R. Hoffman, aided
the committee in every way possible, no at-
tempt was made to shape its policy, From
start to finish the educational program was
the employees' own. They did as they pleased
-and they did very well.
Classes were made possible by the Fed-
eral Office of Production Management, the
Seattle School Boa'd and the Washington
State Board of Education. These agencies,
working together, offer free instruction on
practically any subject to groups of be-
tween 15 and 20 students.
A numher of men among City Light's
1,000 employees were able to meet the school
board requirements for a temporary teach-
ing permit, and were willing to take 12
hours of teacher training. for which there
was no charge. The school board agreed to
pay these men $6 per evening for teaching
a two-hour class. Classes ordinarily ran two
nights a week for 12 weeks, although some
of them required 24 weeks.

Classes self-operated, give broad
training in electric utility techniques
To get the ball rolling, the committee
worked up a questionnaire listing 26 sub-
jcett and gave mimeographed copies to
every emphloyee. Those interested in studying
were invited to check first, second and third
choice of subjects, and to write in at the
bottom any subjects they wanted which were
not included.
The questionnaire resulted in the forma-
tion of classes il, Elementary Electricity;
Practical Electricity Applied to Distribution
and Transmission Electrical Measuring In-
struments; Elementary Operation of Elece-
trleal Substations MaL.lateatiu, foir Elec-
trieians and Radiomen; Hydraulics; Power
House Equipment; Repair and Maintenance
of Electric Appliances; Duties of Lineman's
Helper; A.C. and I).C. Generators and
Motors; Relays and instruments.
An indication of what seems to be a na-
tional trend was the rush of white collar
men to get out of their relatively low-paid
jobs and into electrical work. They took
courses in Elementary Electricity, then the
more advanced courses, and then began
transferring to line crews, substations,
powerhouses, etc., as fast as they could make
the changes.
Students Make Good
These men are making good on their new
jobs almost without exception, and most of
them keep right on studying in advanced
classes that will help them get promotions.
The arrangement works very well for City
Light, as it is not half as difficult to hire
girls for clerical work as to get line helpers
or substation operators. It is notable that al-
though the eomnitbc offered a course in
bookkeeping, they were unable to get even
the bare niiningm of 10 students necessary
for the formation o(f a class.
Demand for the same classes continued as
word went around amnong the employees of
the very real benefits to be gailned. Conse-
qenftly the same clases have been repeated
several times since the committee was or-
ganizedl.
(flasses are held in City Light buildings,
and the time is set by agreement among the
students themselves.
The Library Committee, with funds pro-
vided by the management of City light. has
established a respectable collection of elc-
trical text and reference books, periodicals,
bulletins, pamphlets and other trade litera-
ture and information. The library is open
for half an hour before and after work,. and
during the lunch hour. Books may be taken
home for two weeks or less, and many em
ployeas are making use of them.
Boards Prove Helpful
The Display CornmiLter has turned out
the most interesting job of all. They pe-
pared a number of mock-up boards to dis
play and demonstrate such things as line-
man's knots and splices, street lighting
circuits, meter connections, transformer
hookupl,, etc.
These mock-up boards arc real working
models, designed to operate at low voltages
with results similar to actual working condi-
tions. They have been found of great value
not only for classes, but for instructing line-
men, metermen and other workers who have
recently come to City Light from other
power companies. The supervisor can take a
new man to one of the mock-up boards and
demonstrate just what he wants done before
sending the man out on the job.
The muck-up of the overhead wiring and
transformers can be used to make prac-
tically any combination that is in general
use on City Light lines.
The primary is 4 wire star 120 volt/208O
volt 3 6 phase, corresponding to the 2400
vot/ 4 1 0 volt circuits in actual use. Five
black wires and one neutral wire are used to
make the secondary circuits.
The mock-up transformers are 120 volt to
12 volt, and 208 volt to 12 volt. They are
designed for low voltage, and it is impossible
to connect them in any way that would
create a dalgerous voltage. All primary taps
are marked with red.
By using various combinations it is pos-
sible to hook up a 3 wire lighting bus, and a
great many 2 and 3 phase power circuit,-
3 phase star; 3 phase star-delta; 3 phase
delta-star; 3 phase primary to 2 phase
secondary; star open delta; open delta-open
delta; etc.
The street lighting moek-up board con-
tains three types of relays, and employs
every type of hook-up used on the normally
closed or nirdally open 120 volt multiple
lighting circuits of City Light.
Other mock-up boards built under the di-
rection of the City Light Education Commit
tee are equally practical and useful. It is of
great advantage to students to be able to
make actual hook-ups on low voltage cir-
cuits.

"Nothing can better demonstrate the
progress of Iabor than education of the in,
dividal worker."
T has been said "The wise man plans his
work, then works the plan.'" Bright say-
ings, such as this, as well as thousands of
familiar quotations sound good, make se.se,
and all that sort of thing, but, after all is
said and don,, talk is still cheap. We can
talk abtout wht we have been learning and
what we expect to learn about electricity
and electronics at Local No. B-309 in East
St. Ioui., Illinois, and frankly 1 think that
all this talk is rather cheap when you coi-
pare it to practical facts.
Educaotion Is Not Cheap
There is nothilg cheap in an educational
plan that really works. It costs nioey to
drive to school every week, much more so
if you live a long way. It costs iore than
money to expect a working man toi do this
through all kinds of weather, pIns the fact
that he has already done a full day's work.
And so whim I sit down to write an article
like this, I cannot help but thilk of these
men, hundreds of them, who have come to
the many different classes that have been
conducted at inion headquarters. These
men have sacrificed a lot of time as well as
money--because of whatto further im-
prove themselves? As a pretty lose ob-
server of the individual men that make up
these classes, I can answer no to this ques-
tion. In the first place these men are union
men and this lact alone makes them dliffer-
cut from others. In the second place these
men are a smiall percentage of the ttal
men,bership of the union, and that makes
them different. Thirdly, most of these men
are "family nie," and as such have lug ago,
if they ever had the idea, quit thinking of
themselves. And now, the fourth and last
reason why I say that these men are not
interested in the purely selfish motive of
just improving themselves. They have good
jobs that they are interested in keeIing and
know that in order to ieep the job or ad-
vance to a better one they must prepare for
the future because the future is here today.
To put it frankly these men are interested
in "going places"; they want to stay in the
position of master of their trade; they
would like to improve the lot of their family
lanid who doesn't), and they are interested
in the work they are doing and want to
know all they can about it and not just the
job alone.

Good Record
If you are still reading this article, you
will, no doubt, be interested in some facts
that pertain to this first class in electronics.
It was a large class-95 class memhbers and
84 received certificates for satisfactory com-
pletion of the work, There was a total of 48
hours of instruction in the course and class
members had to be in attendance for at least
36 hours to receive a certificate. Twenty-
eight members of the class bad a 100 per
cent attenlance. The total absene in this
class of 95 onmamounted to 10 per cent of

Another class was started April 3, 1945,
and consisted of 36 hours of instruction.
This class xas called "Advanceld Ek-

ighounse resistance welding nlatetrial was
used. There were 77 meimbers in ther
classes held on Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings and Satre'day mornings and after'

satisfactory completion of the course.
Although this second course in electronics
started out under the supervision of the

issued at its completion. This was a very
popular class in actual practical work and
was also completed under its own power

About this time it was decided that classes

Working Out the Plan

All I have said so far can be saummed up
something like this: It is fairly simple to
'set up" a plan but to wn,,k the plan is an
entirely different story. Alnyone can "set up"
an educational pomgram but the ,,,en who
enter the program will he the oles to "work
it out"
And so, after two years of special classes
in electronics and electricity conducted at
the Electrical Workers' Local No. 309, East
St. Louis, Illinois, I would like to give you
a report on what has been accomplished and
what we expect to do next year, that is,
starting classes again in the fall of 1946.

NINETEEN hunlred forty-five was one
of the most eventful years i, the his-
N tr,-y of men. It is ionly natural that the
Executive Council of the American Fedrea-
tion of Labor has considerled it titting to set
forth some of tile most important aspects of
this year as a record for its members anml
supporters. This is especially true in view
of the fact that there is no 1945 convention
report to acquaint the widely seatteerel
membership in an official manner with the
general work of the central organization.
In a bulletin called "1945 an Epochal Year"
we find a concise. critical description of the
way in which the Gowvrnment organized
itself to carry on the war, the problems and
events consequent to reconversion, an offi-
cial report of matters Iof importance in the
A. F. of L. organization, and a summary of
legislative proposals of the year, both those
important ones which have berome law and

ale given the stands take., by the A. F, of
L. on these measures, and finally there is a
discussion of significant happenings in in-
ternstional relations, among governmcnts
and in the field of labor.

attempt to modlify the uncontliled pro-

The A. F. of L. sees quite another pattern
in the war manpower policies of our Goy-
eminent. In spite of a great shortage of
labor. oluntary employment controls were
maintained without resort to such militaris-
tie measures as a labor draft. Perhaps (et
of the most fortunate oceurretces in the
efforts to supply adequate labor was the
creationh of the Fail Employment Prac-
tices Committee. While the bill to continue
the work of this committee has not been
enacted into law by the 79th Congrss. un-
doubtedly some progress has been made
with regard to weakening discrimination
against persons of minority races and re-
ligionst.
Notional Employment Service
The A. F, of L. is intere..ted in support-
ing a national employment service which it
believes belongs in the Department of La-
bor and it further urged Congress to pro-
vide aml uneomployment compensation pro-
gram th help labor to weather the ti-ansi-
tioreal period between war and normal
peactimne production. Nothing was (lone
along this line, however, which woubl have
helped labor as parallel measures hart as-
sisted industry and the veterans in their
readjustment to peacetime conditions.
Last year saw the creation iofth Na-
tional Wage Stabilization Board to deal
with the problems of wage increases which
had formerly been handled by the National
War Labor Board. This latter agency was
abolished on December 31, 1945. Shrtly
after V-J Day, President Truman issued
a, ei'der removing from the jurisdiction of
the National War Lalbr Board all volun-
tary wage increases which involved no re-
quest for price relief. This was one of the
war restrictions which the administration
felt it could soon remove, as it did the func-
tions of the War Manpower Commission
Free Collective Borgoining
In diseussing the Labor-Management Con-
farenee of last November. the A. F. of L.
bulletin brings out the importance the

finding boards. "If a political alternative to
negotiations is available, one or both parties
con- may hope to gain advantage by taking the
dispute into politics." With the rejection of
the proposal for fact-finding committees,
had the A. F. of L. also opposed the reom-

Ada Pess delivve- d a( the ,rtin tt l ol.)IfI-
on
slr Mfedical Srr rc, P1almer H.nse,
Chicaoy, flios.
N all sinerity I am, glad to accept the in-
vitation of your Itreident, Dr. Palmer. to
speak on this subject under the terms of
an open forum. While we have a point of
view, we recognize the sineerity of those
who hold differing pinions.
Free Exchange of Ideas
In the spirit of an, open forum I shall pre-
sent the point of view of labor as vioR.ously
and in as straightforward a manner as I
know how, i think that is what you want ne
to do, I have come a considerable distance
to speak to this group and I known man. y of
you have left busy offices and demanding
practices in order to be here. That can only
be justified if we comesquarely to grips with
the problems presented by our subject.
While I shall present our position without
rearvation, in the spirit of free exehange
of ideas, I shall endeavor to bear in nind
that on any point I may he wrong. May n ask
you too to approach this problem in the same
spirit, remembering that even the e c -
thodra pronounements of the American
Medical Association may on some points be
in error.
The interest of organized labor in health
problems dates back over many years. Work-
ing people know from hard experience how
surely ill health undermines security. Con-
senuently, they have ]rng been .cncerned
with the health hazards of the plaesl in
which they work, of the communities in
which they live, and of themselves as human
hWings subject to illness, disability and pre-
,nature death.
All Want Good Health
Like other people, workers want good
health for their families as well as for them-
selves. They want, therefore, to know that
adequate, modern medical care will be avail-
able to them and their families when it is
needed. Increasinlgly, workers are coming
to realize that the services of the doctor,
hospital, dentist, nurse and laboratory must
fli. aI place in the family budget before a
fanmily can count itself secure.
I should like to make clear at the outset
that the American Federation of Labor does
not think of health insurance or any of the
serial i..uranee,. as a sutbitute for jobs
and wages. American workers will in tire
future as in the past rely for their security
mainly on steady jobs at good wages. Social
iwsurance, however, is like a net spread
under the aerial trapez performers we see
qt the eircus. It does not impede the free-
Idom of motion nor detract from the bril.
liniee of individual performance; it simply
ryovides that in case sonething goes wrong
the performer doesn't necessarily break his
neck. Social insurance ir the method chosen

niots are among the greatel of those risks.
Mony Factors In Good Health
Nor) do I intend to minimize the impor-
tilllee of the satisfying and healthful aspects
of the job: good housing, adequate nutrition,
or any of the envi'omnental factors which
contribute toward good health. To listen to
sone of the oplpmnents of health insurance,
however, you might cnclude
that if workers
had these things they would not need doctors
or inurses or hospitals. They should know
better, especially the lhtoirs among thenm.
Workers have more faith in the value of
thire services furnished by the medical pro-
fession than some members of the profes-
sbn woIuld s.el.o itav.

portant and how costly. They have been

Livts frol seveIll IIstel sat duor with ex-
perts in the fiBeld of medicine and public
health in a serious anaiysis of the health
nieds of our country. They were so firm in
their convictions and so earnest in their
concldusioni, that now I have an inIc.reased
certainty about what people who are
squarely up against the health needs of
workers expect from,medicine.
Budget Basis
It is pit, leNr first of all that the work-
ers of America have reached the conclusion
that, if they want meh.nial care in the family
budget, they must get away from the present
catastrophic basis of paying for it, and get
on to a budget basis. To labor, the argument
for health insurance is as simplk-and as
irrefutable- as that. The family or individ-
uai need for .medical care is too unpredict-
able, the costs of modern medical care too
variable, to make possible individual family
budgeting. Joint budgeting, through social
insurance, seenis to us the obvious answer.
Voluntary insurance is fine for those idi-
viduals who ear afford it and can get it. But
the inclusive coverage provided by eom-
pulsory social insuran.ce is the only- practical
answer for the millions.
Fortunately. I do not have to discuss la-
bhr's interest in health insurance in vague
and general ternis. The Wagner-Murray.
Dlngedl bill of 1945 ISenate Bill 1050) offers
the kind of a health program which labor
wants and believes to be essential to the
fature welfare f this country. I do not plro-
pose to discuss the details of the bill, hut I
shall comment briefly o, a few of the major
features which are responsible for labor's
support of the measure.
Take Scientific View
Right here I should like to inject that
among the first thilngs that labor experts of
medicine is that its praetitiohers be scientific.
Workers do not questLu that in the main,
doctors are objective and sientific in the
diagnosis of disease affecting individual
patients. But they are not so sure that the
profession is so sientific in its analysis of
scial and economic problems. It is in fact a
source of constant amazement that men
trained in the scientific tradition can in
questions of medical economics accept so
readily the "pink pills for pale people" and
the other social and economic nostrums

trophy was given by our Internati.nal
presidet, with the understanding that any
team or city that wins the trophy three
times, retains piermanent po ssession. St.
Louis has oly one mIore year to gain this
objective.
Fromn the friendly spirit and cooperation
that was shown, it appeals that St. Louis
wil have a difficult time to attain its
desiro. D)etrit has eyes on this Ltophy, and
say that its permanent place should be in
Detroit. Iln mmnnd, Indiana, also voiced a
desire for the trophy, but unfortunately,
was unabi to crash through as the winner.
Neverthiless, their determination to come
back next year and win. is something that
should give St. Louis conlern.
At the meeting held at the Elks' Club, it
was decided that the tournament fnr 1947
will be held in Detroit, Michigan. Detroit

then that we would be better off physically
and spiritually, if we ate less. And then on
two days a week let us reduce our food
consumption to that of the average person
in the hungry lands.
We Cannot Let Them Starve
"Once again I appeal to all Americans
to sarifice so that others may live. Millions
will surely (lie unless we eat less. Again I
strongly urge Americans to save bread and
to conserve oils and fats.
"Here are the most essential wapons at
our disposal to fght famine abroad. Every
slice of bread; every ounce of fat and oil
saved by your voluntary sacrifice will help
keep strvinu people alive.
"With God's help we will avert the worst
of this plague that follows in the wake of
war. I ask every Amrerican now to pledge

"We cannot ignore the cry of hungry
children. Surely we will not turn our hacks
on the millions of human beings begging for
just a crist of bread. The warm heart of
America will respond to the .reatestthreat

Here Are the Rules
Now sp.citically, what must we wives
of workers do?
(1) Save fats, oils and wheat. This means
cut j,,ust as ow as you can, use of salad oil.
olive oil, cnoking oil, margarine, butter.
lard. cooking tItI, IIREAD, crackers, rolls,
cake, pastry, spaghetti, noodhile andall
cereals exceptoatmea, A slice of bread

will mean on. riilion leaves a day for
Europe's starving people.
To carry out this "save the bread and
fat'" prloram we Ina t ionlobe"r a number
of thiings. We msilt hop, carefully pian-
ning in advance, checking supplies on hand,
buying only the foods we really need.
We must cook carefully, preparing only
the food we know will be eaten. Broil, bake
aml boil instead of frying. lse boiled salad
iressinrgs insteadl of those made with oil.
Use left-over bread crumbs for pli-erust in-
stead I of loul. Serve creamed foods iIi baked
potatoes instead of toast. Use all lefl-ovcrs.
Store you folostllffs eanirfully Keep fats
covered in a cool. dry place. Reuse all the
fat you rall andi then take all unused fat to
your butcher. KRelp brad wrapped in a cool
dry place so it won't become moldy.
Following this program is the first and
most important thing you can do.
(2) Next try to get others to do the
same. Every housewife's help is nedede if
this voluntiary rationing program is to be
a success.
(3) Go one step further and follow the
President's recoin nen.ation of living on a
diet at the calorie level of the famine
stricken peoplies aboad, two days a week, to
renasore nr food for shipnment to them.
Fo)d supply in the United States allows
all aerage of ab.ut 3.360 ctories per per,
son lp day. Sonme rolntries like Greec
and Poland ar-, down to diets of arocund

and ravages of war,. In sone counltries
parts of Chine and india, there just won't
be any food at all unless we sendmi help
quickly. The Psirdent asks us to eat a

If you have aiy ideas or pinioni"s which you
feel shoulod be expressed on theie mat ers,
please get Ul on you] leer at your local meetlitgs
and tell younr dligtles now. For instance, y ou
may be toyini wiuth the thought that in our
anxiety to control the training of veteran ap
prentices. we could j.ckey ourselves into a plsi-
tion of haing to asoitrb all these trainlees lito
our locals whether we have work for theil or not.
Local No. 58 has at present more than 200 ap-
pilations from veterans alone for apprent'itehiip
on file. and is currently interviewing abhot i 40I
more every Tuesday. Seems every worthy lad
wants to he a construction wirenian.
The chief reason for thlis condition is that the
small town boy in both northern and southern
states feels he in ist go to the industrial city to
learn his trade properly. The appeal by your
JOtiNAl is directel mainly to those sialler
cities which have no labor managemen t appren
tice set-ups, and to the few large city locals
which have neglected or refused to infuse new
blood into their,emnhberships. Suc, shortsighted-
ness could eventually lead to loss of autoninll.y
to the International Office which night lie foireed

doors to new applicants. Bricklayers, heware;

of his fellow workers by taking that stand.
Who is he kIilding?
Is there anywhere a group of union me,, wh

working conditions, who does not resent the
chiseler who is perfectly willing to accept and
often hungrily awaits the pay raises and better

his fellow workers oraniaatton and their ef-

respect for such chiselers an..d if he had worked
in this utility his fellow workers would not be
bashful about telling him off.
Labor unions have been growing up these
past few years. There was a time when unions
were primarily concerned with wages, hours,
and working conditions. The sphere of union
thought and activity has broadened so greatly
as to take in all social, political and economic
problems Labor must take its place in world
affairs.
To do so we must prove we know our job
and can be trusted.
In public we must prove we are good citizens,
that we know and have an intelligent intrel
in public affairs.
As trade unionists we must be able to in-
tluen...e publie opinion and prove that we can he
trusted to work for the benefit of the comnu-
nity. I have read somewhere that the expreson
union movement was false. I take exception to
lhat statement.
There is a union movement in the United
States and a very great one
Sure every union has what it considers the
most important problem. WI may each appear
to lie working at cross purposes.
We may each appear to have entirely inde-

unionism and all boiled down together spells
social. political, and economic improvement.

Each of us have certain responsibilities and
duties to perform as members of tiiis local
union and we are bound by our honor as men to
uphold certain principles. Are you holding up
your end?
Tihere are many advocates for a stronger
union. Do you know where the strength of
your union lies? In YOU! N, organization is
stronger than its members. Only by closer co-
opertion among ourselves can we hops to be-
come stronger Let us be stronger!
Union principles are old much older than
you or I--and if those principles are not a part
of each member, we are in a stagnated ondi
tio. There must he something to bring the men
of this local uninn closer together. anI it be
the individual desire for our fellow man's

L. U. NO. 124, Editor: It was up
KANSAS CITY, MO. hill going for the press
secretaries in the de-
presslon years. They wanted to write spritely,
cheerful letters hut if they made the news sound
too encouraging, the business managers would
growl, 'Whathaoh trying to do, invite every
loose wireman in the country to come here?"
Anyway. they would have said that, because
there were a lot of wiremen loose, those days.
Let us hope we never hare that condition again.
Here in Kansas, the building industry is
booming. There are three big jobs in progress
besides a flock of smaller ones. The only re-
tarding factor is the current strike of nmanu-
facturers. The labor strikes have had little ef-
feet on the supply of material, but the furtive
strike of big business, in its efort s to kick
the OPA out the window and thereby release
the inflation balloon, has seriously interfered
with reconversion. The local officers are having
som tube ,leanning tile jnb withfirst-class
meehancis. There are plenty of liio available-
too many, inl fact Which brings up one of the
postwar headaches for tile loai, namely, trying
to provide for thile serviemen. Those who were

Rufus (roswhite, one of the oldest and most
popular members of the local, reappeared on
the construction scene last week after spend
ing many inonths recuperating from one of
the most incredible accidents in the history of
the electrical tlade. Three years ago Rufus got
in series with 220 volts which held him in its
savage grip until the heat of the current va-
porized the fluid in his left shoulder and ex-
ploded, shattering the whole shoulder-bone as-
sembly. Of course, every member of the local
is happy to see Brother Croswhite back on the
active liat ill the indriustry and the local to
which h hbas devoted his life.
And while we are on thIe subjet of old
timers, Local 124 has ive candidates for 40-year
huttons, if and when they are issued. The nomi-
nees for tmore than 40 years' continuous good
standing in the Brotherhood are namled in the

WAY OUT ON ATOM BOMB
iContinued foam page 205)
The board goes on to point out that:
"Because the constituent raw materials of
atomic energy can be limited to uraniul
and thorium, the control problem is further
narrowed by the geologieal conditions inder
which uranium andi thoriaun are found, and
the fact that at present those elements have
niy a riestriced comne lcial significance.
Although they are distributed with relative
abundance throughout the world, and al
though it is clear that many soures beyond
the known supplies will he discovered, it is
apparently the view of the authorities that
these elements occur in high conentrationns
only under very special geologic conditions.
This would seem to mean that the areas
which need Lto be uveyd, to which acceSS
must be had, and which would ultimately
hlave to be brought under control, are rela-
tively limited."
The problem of control, the report says,
must leave scientists free to develop the con-
structive aspets ot atomic energy, and the
board has provided for this largely by per
mitting certain tles of activity like scin
tifie research for medicine. They reached
these conclusions:
"(a) That only if the dangerlous aspects
of atomic energy are taLen out of national
hands and placed in international hands is
there any lasonable prospect of devising
safEnards against the use of atomic energy
fo bonmbs, and (b) only if the international
agency was engaged in development and
opel ation could it possibly discharge ade-
qustely its functions as a safegua.d.r of the
wrld's future.
'Such a developmen t also seems essential
in teIrns of attracting to the international
agency the kindtlf scientists and technicians
that this problem requires, recognizing that
a mere policing, inspecting, or suppressing
function would neither attract nor hold
them."
The hoard seomn the etting uIp of
an Atomic Development Authority under
the United Nations. The board believes "if
the Atomic Development Authority is the
only agency which may lawfully operate in
the raw material field. then any visible
operation by others will constitute a dangmr
signal."
The Journal of ELECTRICAL WORKERS and Operators
The board gees on to point ut "thh au-
thority will be aided in the detection of
illegal olpwatclon b3 tile fact that it is not
the motive but the plrii, n which ih illegal.
Any national or pri'ate ffort to mine
uranimin will be illegal; iny such vstok
piing of thorium will is illegal; the build-
ing of ainy pri .ary reactor or separation
plant will he illegal. Tlhis ci'cumistance is of
very gleat importance for the following
reason: it is true that a theroughgoirng in-
spection of all phases of the industry of a
nation will in general be an unbearable
burden; it is true that a calculated attempt
at evasion may, by camoufage, or by geo-
graphical location, make the specific de-
tection of an illegal operation very much
more dlifficult. But the total effort needed to
carry through from the mine to the bomb,
a surreptitious program of atomic anrma-
ment on a scale sufficient to make it a
threat or to make it a temptation to eva-
sion is so vast, and the number of sepa-
rate dlftcult undertakings so great and the
special character of my many these under-
takings so hard to conceal, that the fact of
this effort should be impossible to hide. The
fact that it is the existence of the effort
rather than a specific purpose or motive
or plan which constitutes an evasion and an
unmistakable danger signal is to our minds
one of the great advantages of the proposals
we have outlined."
Pressing for the adoption of their plan,
the board gives this final word:
'"When fully in operation the plan herein
proposed can provide a gleat neasure of
security against surpse attack. It can do
much more than that. It can create deter-
rents to the initiation of schemes of aggres-
sion, and it can establish patterns of co-
operation among nations, the extension of
which may even contribute to the solution of
the ploblem of war itself. When the plan
is in full operation there will no longer be
secrets about atomic energy. We believe
that this is the firmest basis of security; for
in the long term there can be no interna-
tional control and no internationai coopera-
tion which does not piresuppose al interna-
tional community of knowledge."
Mr. Lilientha], chairman oif the biMrd, is
well known in the labor hfield. He brought to
the labor relations at the Tennessee Valley
Authority the same cool intelligence anl the
same fine spirit of cooperation that he
brought to the work of this commission.

selfish. We are getting more food than any
other people in the wold but we haven't
been at all generous in sharing it with those
who ale desperately hungry some of them
about to starve. Wheat is being kept on
the farms wheat is being held by the mills;
flour is being stored by the bakers--taking
advantage of every moment's delay in the
issuance of necessaly Governnment orders
to set aside wheat for export to feed the
hungry-something that should have been
done long ago.
"The Aniericall people-the great bulk of
the folks like you and ue--ire insistent on
hkeping millions of people from dying of
hunger. They are on the job. They are hu-
manity's guar ians. They are going to watch
the farmer, the miller, the bake, and the
restaurateur. There is no place in our midst
for the 'belly American.'"
We have already stated what Priesident
Truman has said. Our leaders have pointed
the way. Of course they are only humanl
but that bring- i b;,ack to our starting
point-Jesus said, "Feed the hungry."

INTERNATIONAL CARTELS
iContinued from page 207)
the matter over informally with other labor
leaders from other countris. Workers have
never been consulted about membership in
any international cartel, and, if the facts
were laid before them, would probably re
sent such membership. Moreover, it is likely
that cartels arise in those industries where
unions are not universally strong or have
no close international federation. This
would certainly be true for the electric
lamp industry when it was organied, steel
when it was organized, and possibly sugar.
rubber, nitrogen, aluminum. magnesium.
munitions, chemical and dye. So it might
be that a condition for the formation of
cartels would be a non-democratic set-up in
the industries belonging to an international
cartel in the respective countries.
There is irony, too, in the situation that
labor unions en an international scale have
held to international ideals of cooperation
for nearly a century, but it is left to the rn-
spertive businesses of the world to actually
achieve a close knit organization for coop-
eration. It would seem. ironically enough,
that it is easier to secure cooperation with
profits as a motive than it is with interna-
tional good will as a motive.

so highly necessary, if we are to raise the
'Ameican way of Life' to even higher levels
of living at a time when this is so urgently
required both here in America and around
the world."
Mr. Prshton wrote Mr. Crow in reply, as
follows:
"I cannot agree that my imdietlen ta offt/an -
geriml shorto, in.gs are restricted to the few.
The illustrations I gave voice to are actual in-
eiddent eoutnteIred in both large and small ill
dustrial plants. One in particular-artitciallv
inflated factors overhead costs being aa illus-
traion froii, the largest plant of its kind in the

few weeks ago and found the practice still
prevalent.
"The illustrations used were nepssaril. be-

lights of my experience which would be the,
most telling and impressive. Apparently this
proved to be the case and I am sure that upon,
a littie closer study of the paints I raised the
employer, and representatives of man ogetni
whol so courteously reccieed t. y preseltation
will plrhaps feel a little more kindly towald
the problems of the worker.

At the preselnl time the educational eoinnIrt-
tee is forming iins foIr next year's school
schedul.e It is eIxpected to start a class for ap-
prentices in basic electricity. An advanceiid class
in alternnutilg current circuits will lie conductie
that will include theory- and shop work. This
will require a shop, apparalus, and supplies iut
we now have the real material to start this type
of work trained men whl have completed the
textbook work and are now ready for some real
practical work.
There will also be a new clas started
. in in-
dustrial electronits in the fall nd the Ienl.ple-
tion of another class in electronics started this
year.
All in all we of Electrical Workers Local 109
feel that we now have a record of past perform-
ance upon which we can plan the future. No
school or educational plan can grow into a se-
rious movelnent over night. It reuires a lot
of work on the part of everybody included. No
one can. or should, expect any great share of
credit. Nothing can better demonstrate the
progress of labor than education of the indi-
vidual worker. Union schools are being recog-
nized by the larger employer groups, by the
members of the unions, and the general public
at large as a ineans towards seilf-improvement.
This modern trend cannot help but harvest rich
rewards.
WHAT LABOR EXPECTS
(Continuedl rom page 215)
eurity against all the common risks that
threaten his economic independence in mod-
ern society.
Second, I would commend the large and im-
portant responsibilities which the bill would
give, in every phase of admiistratilon, to repre-
wentative advisory bodies. The insistence of the
American Federation of Labor on the inclusion
of these provisions was based niot loly on our
traditional reliance on democratic methods but
drew as well on our considerable experience with
policy committees representin g the groups con-
cernel gained during the war period.
The mdical professdion ha the assurance,
therefore, that, on matters of strictly profes-
sional concern, the advisory groups shall con-
sist solely of physiidana. On all other tatters.
the workers covered by the system, trmployers,
persons with special technical competence and
representative of the public would maintain a
omltinuous scrutiny of pollcy anid administra-
tion. There would be regional and local as well as
lational advisory councils. This is Lhe teino
eratic Inethod Aniyone who continues to shout
"regilia ntation" or "dictatrship" ulst convict
himrself either of failure to have read or of fail-
ure to have understood the bill.
AS many of you know. organized labor in this
country has not always supported health insur-
ance. We have not drifted into our presenl poa-
tion. We hae coIme to it through year9 of ex-
perlience and careful study. Back in the 1920's
the American Federation of Llabor tuok a psi-
tion against health insurance. But now after
nearly a ouarter of a century we seeaur na-
tion, in spite of its great resources of wath and
scientifically trained personnel, in eighth place
among the nations of the worl! with respect to
The Journal of ELECTRICAL WORKERS and Operators
ilfant mortality. We see that we are somewhere
bothll1,eighlh id twelfth piaee with respect
i the diai rate l .f +Ihdildrtnanti adolesents and
in twenty firt phice for persons in middle life.
Til.se fijeis reflect health picture that Amer-
iean laiotl I iiot proud of. The old system has
Ibeen weighed in the ialae and found wanting.
The need for inure adequlate nielcl care has
been amply demonstrated in th stL, l f the
Coinniittee on the "asts of Medical (.are, in the
National Health Survey arid still more irre-
futably in the results of tile Selecive Serice
examinations.
The failure . dluntar meiithods of insuring
against the ,costs
f iieal care has also been
fully deIotrate. Voluntary inuirance canl
never hope to rcach the mass of people-the low
tincome
grups, and the aged, or persons with
ch ronic ailnienis. all those most in need of
prot.'etion. Even the proponents of voluntary
insuiance are beginning to admit that it cannot
do the whole job or the main part of the job
that needs to be done. The task is one which calls
for the paltilipation of all of us through demo-
cratic governmental action.
I, closing I would like to stress the fact that
it is not merehl the pffieials of the Aimerican
Flederatin of Labor who support the Wagner-
Murlay-Dingell bill. It was iirst introduced at
our request made in response to the insistence
of our menbership that something be done to
provide a broad social insurance program iltild-
ing health insurance. Since he int ro.cition
the bill two years ago it has beenlpwidely dis-
cussel in ountless meetings of local unions., city
central bodies,. in state conventions and conven-
tions of our national and international unions
from one end of the coulntry to the other. Even
during the stres of wartime its presentation
enjoyed continual prominence in the nfrili jour-
nals of our national and international unions
and in the network of local labor papers, After
nenrly two years of sueh thorough airing the
delegates to the 64th Annual Convention of the
American Federation which met in New Orleans.
unanimously endorsed the principles of the
Wagner-Murray-Di)gell bill and instructed their
Commilttee on Sociiil Security to work
President Creen in preparing and submitting
a new bill. Senate Bill 105 is in large measure
the result of those eIfforts and reflects the pur-
poses of the convention.
That the leaders of the American Federation
of Labor were accurately interpreting the de-
sires of the rank and file in this rspect isup-
ported by un icroes public opinion pIlls in which
the American people have indicated that they
regardei thle provision of adequate medical care
as one of the most important guarantees of the
future, and that they are not afraid to work
toether through their Oovernment to ahieve
a sound national health program
This is lenneiracy in action. To be SEure, it is
the opponents who have proclaimed they are the
lefendI
ers f liberty. freedom and ie Ic racy; it
is he opponents who ha;e shouted "regimenta-
tion." 'buraurac.l y" and "socialized ledieidne."
Mlark well, however. that all the eries add up
only to saying they do no trt ru democracy and
they have no faith in the government of a
demonrae-. The; the opponentsare the ide
fenders of the status quo alnii even special privi-
letg. Health is as inlortani to denoIracy as
eIucation HallIil services are not for the pi-i-
legedlfew. The workers and the families of
America- all of theil need. want and nean to
have, access to modern health selvices.
The time has conin when we can replace words
hby action and build good health into lhe foiurnds
tion of a world based on frederlom and security.
WAGE PATTERN SLOW

Department states, by adding an amount
which "would total appoxinmiaely

Actual rise in living costs between Jan-
uary, 1941, and Inuary, 1946, on this basis,
therefore, would not be 28.9 per cent but
3.9 per cent.
It is not surprising then to find that many
of the wage increases in recent tmonlths have
been quite osaterial
A 15 per cenlt lpay increase, for example,
was glanted by the Building Trades Em
pieyorr Associationl of New York, represent-
in 850 firms, the department reports. The
raise affects 1U0,00 construction workers
in New York.
Another building trades' increase cited by the
release is one of 121 cents an hour given by
the (onstpructio

the Assoeiated (Contrators of Dallas, Teas.
embracing about 100 general contIracto s and

1,a00 building trades workers. The Electrile i
Coritra tors ' ASsociation of Milwaukee. repro
sealing ti5 lirflls, is noteld as having given a 10-
cent hourly raise to its 950 electrical workers.
Eleetrila! Workers were also specifically men
tioned as a part of some 5,000 employees

received wage advances from the Shell Oil Con-
puny in the Paeiflc coast area. This group of
workers is represented by the I.HE.[W.. the
Teamsters', Building Service Employees'
and
Other Workers' unions of the A. F. of L. Shell
Oil's wage adjustment is distributed on a wage
bracket basis which alots proportionately higher
raises for lower paid workers:

The American Tobacco Company, Incorpo-

with Other reported liust V-J Day raises directly

hardy andi pioneering class of people who
have left their mark, and the countr has
been made better for their having lived.
Then don't fail to stop in Reno, but I
wouldn't advise staying the usual ix weeks,
it seems to be contagious. and also remem-

other inspiring sight, and Yosemite Valley.
If God has exhibited his handiwork n
greater style than at Yosemite Valley and
the Wawona Grove of Big Trees, I don't
know where it is, for I have been aver
most of the world and to my mind, this is
the beauty spot of the universe. Here in
California you can reach the highest and the
lovest spots in the U. S. A.;: the hottest and
the coldest; the wettest and the driest. Yea,
Brother, we have something to show you.
Come and see it.
In case yolu don't know where Oakland is,
it is on the continental side of San Fran-
cisco Bay; the fastest growing city in Amer-
ica; no mushroom growth either. Don't for-
get to give us the once-over.
