ANSWER
fly Helen Mitchel

Am I my brother's keeper? I must find

A way to keep myself. This wind is cold
And fear of hunger travels through the mind.
Though I am fed today I could be doled
Starvation's fare tomorrow. Let him seek
His own deliverance nor reach his hands
To me. I shall not hear though his voice speak
In many tongues and call from many lands.

What answer comes? What thoughts are given birth

When science stares at God and hears Him ask,
"Where is thy brother?" Who upon the earth
Can now elude the vision? fail the task?
How close my brother is! How un-alone....
He seems almost to be my flesh and bone.

ilvestigators recently issued a report, which
said:
"The imprint of failure" is stamped all
over anti-trust enforcement.
"Some Government agencies not only show
a total lack of interest, but actually pro-
mote concentration" of economic power in
monopolistie hands.
w Plug the Loophole
tfi0 ['hr report suggested much heavier pen-
altis for anti-trust law violators. As it is
how, get off with mall fines, which
they
scarcely make a dent in their monopoly
profits.
The report also recommended strengthen-
iug the anti-trust laws in other ways, par-
tidalirly by plugging an old "loophole" in
the Clayton Act, passed more than 30 years
ago in the early days of the Woodrow Wilson
Ad ministratim.
Among other things, that act forbade any
corporation to buy the stock of another clr-
potation. if that would result in a "merger"
tending to "'decrease competition and create
mnompoly."
Such stock purchases had built up the
"trusls" which Wilson fought before and
after he became President.
The Clayton Act did not forbid a corpora-
tion to buy another's "assets." so the merg-
t atnoy
ers have continued. Corporations simply
buy each other's assets instead of stock.
The Federal Trade Commission, which
enfores the Clayton Act, has repeatedly
asked Congress to plug this loophole. It is
still there, as big as a barn door a typical
xnniple of the futility and frustration of
the anti-trust laws.
This loophole and the resulting mergers
were the main subjects of a recent speech by
Edward H. Levi, professor of law at the
University of Chicago He concluded with
this significant statement:
"'Unless anti-trust regulation is to be more
effective, it is doubtful it will remain."
In other words, it is now "put up or elll
up." Either the anti-trust laws will be made
to work anl soon--or America will get
disgusted and throw them out the window.
Then the monopolists will completely take
over this country.
We are confused now, Levi said. "We do
not know whether we want regulated compe-
tition or regulated monopoly."'
The Senate Small Business Committee also
has issued a report diclaring that "big
business" monopolists have come out of the
war bigger and stronger than ever, with
inclreased advantages over small competitors

This is the seconad in a sri esof trticles

February on "MEAT." The ithird will deal

UGAR is a sticky business. The major
consuming nations of the worldi have
not allowed the growing and processing
of sugar-inproducing crops to be adjusted
naturally as geography and unfettered acu-
nomies would indicate. Legislation involving
sugar is avoluminous and all of it seeks to
protect the special interests of the several
groups involved in supplying the market.
The groups are various and their inter-
eats are often conflicting. To begin at home,
there are the sugar-beet growers whose
crops produce annually in normal times
about a million and a half tons of sugr--
roughly 23 per cent of U. S. sugar consump
tinn,.
Sugar beets are grown and processed
chiefly in the Western States. -Oregon,
Washington, California, Idaho, Wyoming,
Utah, Montana, and Colorado- and in the
Midwestern States- -South Dakota, Ne-
braska, Wisconnsin, Michigan, Minnesota,
and Ohio. The farmers have integrated the
sugar beet with their crop rotation plans,
and beet tops and beet pulp from the sugar
factories make food for fatLenisg cattle.
Protective Legislation for Sugar
Heretofore, sugar beet growing has re-
quired so much hand labor that it coul. only
be carried on if subsidized by the Govern-
mont. Consequently, the sugar beet growers
have influenced their Congressmen to enact
protective legislation. It is argued by the
sugar-beet processing concerns that we must
have a healthy industry becauIse the prod-
uet is a basic one in our Ulnarurt.lu gig
The Journal of ELECTRICAL WORKERS and Operators

consumer dollar.
econonmy. If we were dependent upon over-
seas areas for our total supply, we would
be in an even more constraining position
for' want of sugar in war time than we were
in the two great wars of this cenoltury.
Such reasoning has gained acceptance
in Europe as well as in America. As a re-
suit, all around the globe beet sugar com-
petes behind tariff barriers with cane sugar
from the tropics. In the United States last
year, the Government paid $22,206,000 to the
sugar beet grwers, and $3,884,000 to the
processors in government subsidies. Bcsidos
this direct help, there is the indirect subsidy
offered by duty on imported sugar. This
allows the domestic product to be sold in the
same market with tropical cane sugar only
when the latter is put to a very great dis-
advantage. In recent years, the tariff duties
as imposed by the Smoot-Hawley Act of
I3O have been reduced under reciprocal
trade agreements. The following figures
show in fractions of a cent how the duty per
pound has declined. Under the original pro
visions of the 1930 tariff act it was lifted
to 1.7644 per pound and finally to 2c.

At the Ip/ ' tidlme, discussion in Con-
gress ove. the tLutrc foreign trade policy of
ou' country and the reciprocal trade agree-
ments involves sugar. The abnormal condi-
tions of the war increased the demand and
price of all sugar enough to allow beet
sugar a more favorable position even though
tariffs were lower. IU. S. sugar interest. are
anxious to have high tariffs reimposel.
The Great Sugor Componies
The prcedin if 4sug.- beets is in the
hands of a fex , ....]Tl p[., the largest of
which are: ti, (r;ut Western Sugar Com-
pany whsr :!2 fact..is are in Colorado. Ne-
braska. Mo..ijau anid Wyoming (their pro-
diltieo, was nearly 300,000 tons in 1945);
the Ullth-liaho Sugar Company, American
Cry sal Sugar Company, and Holly Sugar
(aeY ralotio,. Each produced about 125.000
tens in 1945. Spreekles Sugar Refining Comn-
pany, part of the large American Sugar Re-
fining Company (whose investments are
mostly inl <rm*rulgi,. grinding and sugar
retfiing) is auku oe of the leading producers.
A great dleal of nmo.ey is put into plant in-
st:tlltihns for manufacturing beet sugar
anid the industry employs several thousand
people. New methods of sowing, cultivating
andl harverting the crop have assisted in
,making the cost of labor drop and thus Lthe
production cheaper. It may be that the in-
dustry will be publicly justified in the fu-
ture. The following figures show how during
the four years we were at war-a time in
which the industry was supposed to come to
our rescue--the production fell off compared
to the four previous years. The decline is
attributed to shortage of manpower, ina-
bility to install new machinery and priority
of crop aereago for more essential food
items. (See Table L.)
Cone Sugar of the South
Besides the beet sugar industry, ther is
a substantial amount of cane sugar made
in Louisiana andt Florida. The output is
largely from the former state, and over-a. l
production averages about 475,000 tons,-
less than a third of the beet sugar mnanufac-
tired. Cane is also a subsidized crop, pro-
tocted from its near Cuban competitor.
The territories and possessions of the
Ulited States are not affected by our tariff
impositions, and a large part of our sugar
normally comes from the Philippines, Ha-
waii, Puerto Rico and a little from the Vir-
gin Islands. Nearly all of the rest, and at
that a larger portion than from any other
single source, comes from Cuba.
The Philippines exported about a million
tonr to the United States before World War
II. The Japanese invasion completely cut
us off from, that important supply, and the
fields and grinting mills Mere ruined. Ex-
ports will not come in the quantities of
former times for several years, if the in-
Iunstry there ever recovers its former posi-
tion.
When the Philippines were granted inde-
pendence, the United States signed a trade
treaty with the new government which,
among other things, would permit free entry
of Philippine sugar for the next eight years.
This provision is subject to various inter-
pretations, for its effect on the Philippine
economy is important. The United States
Covernment has g 'anted to business inter-
ests in the Philippines $400,000,000 for war
damage reparations. This money will be
iused to re-establish the way of life which
kept the Islands relatively un-itdustrialized

SPEAKS to
By CHESTER K. JOHNSON, L. U. No. 292
lion. Joseph H. Ball,
United States Senate,
Washington, D. C.
Senator:
I feel it is necessary to make a vigorous
protest against y'iur oeduct as a Senator
in the 'niteld f&it,, , Igrcss. I am refer-
ring specifically to the anti-liabr bills
which you have introduced into the present
session of CongesS, namely, your bill
against the closed shop, your bill against in-
dustry-wide collective bargaining, and your
bill to provide mnachinery for Federal media-
tion in labor disputes.
These are all anti-labor hills and if en-
acted into law can only serve to further
cheat the wage earners of America in their
efforts to get a more just share of the things
which they produce. I have been a workel in
Minneapolis indlustry for 23 years and for
more than 20 years I have been a member
of the American Federation of Labelo, where
i, together with my fellow trade unionists,
have enjoyed ClsedI-shop conditions, and
I can report, Mr. Ball, that the issue of the
closed shop in trade union organization has
long since passed the experimental stage. It
is a firmly-establish d principle among wage
earners, that he who benefits by union or-
ganization and union agreements must also
help to foot the bill.
Against All Workers
Your bill to prevent industry-wide colt
leetive bargaining, if enacted into law, would

contrary it would convenenietly enable the
employers in such an industry to u.e one
section of its employee Inalst anothe
section to the disadlvan..lt .4f all of the
workers in the indusrly.
Your hill to provide machinery for Fed-
eral nildiatitn in labordlisputes is hut an-
other attempt to pill over the main pro-
visions of the Case Bill which failed to be-
crone law in the 79th Congress. All of its
main provisions were directed against the
labor movem nt and was so recognized by
both its proponents as well as its opponents.
How About Benefit for the Mosses
Let mie here nake an important observ.a-
tion, Mr. Ball. Whereas I see your name
prominently identified with proposals to
benefit America's Sixty Families, I do not
see your name identified with proposals
to bonefit the great mass of people in Min-
nesota, or for that matter in any part of
the United States. With tie great bulk of
the population facing such tremendous prob-
lems as the present scandalous housing
shortage, inadequate health service, dis-
rupted and neglected education, hundreds of
thousands of veterans not properly inte-
grated into the econon.ie life of the nation;
together with the huge and inequitable tax
burden heaped upon the working people, and
the present. inflationary sihtitinm which al
lows profitering to taik.e plmu an Ion-
preeedentted sealh to thi: di ain ige of the
masses of the people there is the greatest
need for the elected representatives of the
people to have an aggressive, positive and
favorable position on these problems; but,
unfortunately, the name of Minnesota's
senior Senator is not identified with these
worthy tasks.
Things Would Have Been Different
On the contramy, youre ph .t .conductis
in sharp contradictio.., t he libel I front
YOu presented wte rh;mpiligninig for votes
to he e(l(etd to the Sniate. Had you come
out in a forthright manner for your present
legisative prog.ram. at the time of your elc-
iuno in 1942 you would never have been re-
turned to the U. S. Senate. flal you truth-
fully repolted to the citizens of Minnesota
that you intended to go before the National
Association of Manufacturers to get its ap-
proval for yor proprm. as you did early
last December; and that you also intended
to come up to the Twin Cities to likewise
get the approval of the Employers Assolia-
lion as you did a few lays ago for the same
reactionary program, and without going
before the organizations of the people to
explain your program, you would not have
gotten a mandate from the people of Min-
nesota to serve a full term in the U. S.
Senate.
Mr. Ball, the vast majority of citizens of
Minnesota are not elmployers, nor are they
members of the National Association of
Manufactureis. The great majority of us
are age earnliers and farmners, the real
producers of the wealth of this great state.
For you, Mr. Ball, or any other elected
legislative rpresentative of the people, to
seek to pass such vicious legislation against
the organizations of the workers as you are
doing in the present case only demonstrates
you' utter eolitenlpt for the man who works.
In this onneution, all your glib phrases
about your attempts to protect the workers
against the abuses and faults of labor or-
ganizations and labor leaders are so many
empty words, because the workers will never
get protection against the real abuses and
faults of their own organizations on the
advice of outsiders who have never lifted a
linger to build such organizations, anmI espe-
cially those who, as in your case, draw in-
spiration and support fromnt organizations
openly hostile to labor.
Pleose Resign, Senator
Unfortunately, Minnesota laws contain no
provisions for a recall of its elected legis-
lative represcntatives, so in view of this
fact together with your complete failure to
serve the interests of Minnesota wage earn-
ers, like myself, I can only ask you to
resign your post as U. S. Senator from Min-
nesota and leave the post open to someone
more representative and more in tune with
the liberal traditions which have long since
been established at this end of the Missis-
sippi River. Another thing which I can do
is to publicize my views on this matter to the
best of my ability which I shall attempt
to do.
Yours for a more democratic representa-
tion in Washington, D. C,

N the State of Washington the collective
bargaining process between municipalities
and their employees is authorized by
statute, and the attorney-general in that
state on June 7, 1944, in, an opinion ad-
dressed to the State of Washington advised
that the collective bargaining process was
proper between a publice utility district and
its employees.
The Boaid of State Hairlnor Commission-
ors for San Ftlciseo lar onr
had entered
into a iolilectiw bargaining agr.ieent with
the Raniway lirotherhood Uilions for the
operation of the State Belt Railroad.
In the federal feld, collective bargaining
hetween governmolenl i agnein and their

Vol. XLVI Wkhington. D. C,, March, 1947
Progress A long step toward stalilizing American in-
dustry was taken this month by the Building
and Constrution TradesDeparlnment of the American
Federation of Labor. By agreement with employers. it
was decided to set iup the National Joint Conference Com-
mittee. This committee acts as a kind of court for the
settlement of disputes in the building trades. The com-
mittee acts for contractors engaged in heavy construc-
tion work and members of unions so engaged. The Na-
tional Joint Conference Committee expects to be instru-
mental in setting up a committee for contractlors in unions
engaged in road construction work in the building in-
dustry, in fact in all disputes in the fields which are not
covered by the foregoing categories.
Here is an example of the great construction industry
trying to settle its own affairs. Precedent for the National
Joint Conference Committee is to be had in the Council
on Industrial Relations for the Electrical Construction
Industry which has been a going concern for more than
a quarter of a century, which has successfully stamped
out the habit of strikes in the electrical field. The elec-
trical branch of the construction industry knows that if
there is a will to cooperate, and the right machinery,
strikes can wither away, and reason prevail.
Menae To An analysis of election returns indicates
Democracy that the Republican victory was not so much
a positive victory as a negative one. The
opposition fell off appreciably iand never went to the polls.
This does not deter the majority party from acting as if
it had a mandate from the people to do everything under
the sun, wise and unwise. Consider, for instance, the atti-
tude toward labor. There are virtually 15 million trade
unionists in the United States, and you may consider that
with their families, they probably represent 45 million
citizens. Now then, the majority party with its tenuous
hold on victory believes it has the right to pass laws con-
trolling 45 million, or nearly one-third of the population.
Is this the way that democracy should work? If we
start down this path, it may well be that we will end up
with drawn battle lines. The majority party tries to pre-
tend that it has precedent for this in the so-called bad
Journal o! ELECTRICAL WORKERS and Operators
treatment of big business. But big business represents in
actual numbers probably I00,000 citizens, not 45 million.
Who Are The Not long ago a Congressman arose in the
Monopolists? House and suggested that lthe ati-trust
laws be invoked sainsil laor. \Well, if
the anti-trust laws are invoked ,gtioist labor in the same
way that they have been invoked against business monopo-
lies, labor need not be afraid. The anti-trust laws have
been on the books since 1892. For nearly a half a century
monopolies and cartels have grown to an enormous size
and influence. In fact, monopolies and ;,rlekls made greal
progress duiring the second World War, and it is not too
much to say that the Congress is pretty much ill control
of men who either represent monopolies rad cartels, or
men who are in favor of monopolies and cartels. This is
a salient fact about the present day. Monopolistic indus-
try has reached a concert of interest never before known
in this country during the war, and are acting in harmony
to a degree never before practiced. The American people
will wake up to this fact in the next four or five years.
Now they are lulled to quiescence by slogans and trick
phrases.
Craft The CIO was founded on an idea. The idea
Unionism was industrial unions. At that time the Flek-
lricad Workers pointed out that this was only
a superficial issue and other more important motives lay
behind the division in the labor movement. The effort at
that time to push aside craft unionism, we believe, was
an error, and subsequent events have proved it. The kind
of workers who organize a union in the industry for which
these workers move, largely determines whether the union
becomes a craft or industrial union. To force industrial
unionism on highly-skilled people is a mistake.
Now comes David Stern, the ex-owner of liberal news-
papers in and around Philadelphia, backing this point of
view. Mr. Stern was one of the first to recognize the
guild shop-the Newspaper Guild organized under the
CIO. Though he was friendly to the union, the guild re-
cently called a strike against his newspapers; and the
culmination of that strike was the closed doors of out-
standing liberal newspapers and Mr. Stern's removal from
newspaper publishing. Mr. Stern said that he coukl not
go forward and do business if the guild imposed the con-
ditions that it tried to impose. Mr. Stern now in analyzing
the situation believes that it was a mistake for the guild to
become an industrial union. He thinks it should have con-
tinued as a craft union and should have tried to raise the
standard of journalism rather than moved it against good
standards. He tried to organize a system of education of
the younger reporters with the guild. In addition to the
expert journalists on the Philadelphia Stern papers, the
union had in it classifying advertising agents, bookkeep-
ers, auditors and accountants, inside circulation employees,
telephone operators, library workers, advertising solici-

Well-Known Alt enterprising local uniiionist, Joe Lalle

H. C. . of L.ocal Union No. B-378, Wausau, Wis-
Celnsinl has made a study of the cost of
living in Milwaukee for certain years. [ie tiudied a leading
.11ihvaukee newspaper, reading the ads which quoted prices
of food for certain staple food items, such as meat, chicken,
vegetaibles, miiilk, fruit in all about 42 items. For istalnce,
Mr, Larne fiind that pork chops were priced in Milwaukee
in 1I939 at 19 cents a poiiunid, and ill 196( at 49 cents a
pounid, lie found that stewing lamb was priced in MiL-
waukee in 1939 at eight cents a pound, and in 1!946 at 22
cent s. l r. Lane ou nd that in 1939 you could go to a store
and get a good frying chicken for 21 cents Lafpound. but
in 19~16 a frying chicken would costi 5 centsi a pouind.
Mr. Lanea found i hat in this heart of the cheese colintry

he is, addell up these items and arrived at the astmulding
figures. allier weighting them, lhat the cost of food in
Milwaukee had leaped 128 percent from 1939 to 1946.
If those big business men who are worried about , prices
really want to know why labor is restless, they should
gel in touch with Joe Lane. He has put his linger upon a
very irritating ract about the lire of working people in a
great city in the United States.
Bonneville T'he 1946 Report on the Columbia RiverPower
Report System made by the Bonneville i'over Ad-
ministration is a model of lucidity andi eye
appteal. The report instead of being a dull Government
document is beau iofully illustrated, and succinlict, and com-
prehensive, It has this to say of the good relations be-
tween the A. F. of L. unions antd the Bonneville Power
Adnministration:

First off shoes--bjings us to the new
spring styles. Looking ahead to our new
Easter outfits let's have a bird's-eye preview
of the latest spring fashions. Many of the
shoes themselves are of the spectacular
type-high platform soles straps around
the ankle, combinations of leather, for ex-
ample, lizard and calf skin. Of course the
more conservative styles will be also with
us. Now as to dress styles, the emnphasis
is definitely on the suit and the suit dress
and the emphasis in the suits is definitely
entered on back and waist and hip interest.
(Better get nut last month's calorie list
and get to work.)
Spring Style Show
At Arnold Constable's style show of sprint,
suits at the Waldorf Astoria last week,a
wide selection in lengths and types of jack-
eta was offered. A menagerie of back views
was much in evidence swallow-tail backs,
butterfly backs, fish-tail backs! The jack.ts
are long, dipping in the back, some with
full scallops, low flaring peplums, full dou-
ble peplums, and one suit d.ress even had
a fichu of organdy and lace in the back.
Gabardine is most popular for the spring
suit in cocoa, mint green and navy. Soft
pink and rose beige were also noted and
many new contrasts in color were in evi-
denee. Suits for the ten-age crowd featured
full skirts topped with flippant grosglmin-
bound boleros.

The Lure of Travel
So nluh flr the 'shoos part of our
quotation. Now how about "ships"? What
shall we say of ships? They always hold a
strange anid wonderful fascination for me
and I know they must for a lot of you too.
How many of us have often wished we could
take a wonderful cruise somewhere? I know
I do, a dozen times a year. I always used to
think they were too frightfully expensive
to think of taking for one's vacation. Then
one year I went to a travel agency and
found out that I could take a marvelous
10-lay all-expense cruise to the West Indies
for the same amount of money that it would
cost me to stay for the same length of time
at a god sunmmer resort. So I went on the
cruise-had a marvelous time, met inter-
esting people, saw wonderful sights, enjoyed
delicious food--everything was perfect and
very reasonable. So if you have a desire to
take an ,ceantrip, don't put it aside as
costing to much money, but go to a travel
agency and inquire about their all-expense
tnurs-they may surprise you. Start saving
now and perhaps this summer or next, will
see you 'sailing, sailing, over the bounding
main."
The Writing Public
"And sealing wax"-this of course con-
jures up a picture of an important-looking
document seal-stamped with a big blob of
red wax. Sealing wax used to be employed
in sealing all letters but is seldom used to-
day except on any but court documents.
However, sealing wax or no, letters are
still being written and the people of our
day perhbp' write more letter, than any
people before them in spite of modern means
of eemmunication-telsphone and telegraph.
So a word about letter writing. This is one
of the best-known media for keeping friends.
A letter means a lot to a i .n .o.me lad or lass
away from home, dying fir a visit from
home folks. People like t. be remembered
and there are few who carno et a lift with
a letter. And girls, make your letters tslk.
They are a visit from you so throw away
any stilted style or set phrases you may
have acquired ad just go ahead anid visit
on paper. Incidentally there have never been
so many beautiful correspondence papers,
cards, inks etc. on the market as now. You
can really he individual and at the same
time make your letters "a thing of beauty
and a joy forever," using a little ingenuity.
I received a birthday note recently that
just made me happy all day. It was short
but very friendly and it was written on
lemon yellow notepaper and five or six yellow
daffodil seals had been pasted at intervals
all over the paper.
A Valentine letter I received was written
in pastel pink ink on grey paper with pale
pink roses printed on it.
So keep up a colorful eorrespondenee
ladies-it pays dividends.
It's Time To Dig
And now for our cabbages. What do they
bring to mind? Why our gardening of
course. It's not too early to think and plan
for that spring and summer garden, order
seeds, and in a very little while prepare
the ground for your tflowers and vegetables.
As soon as the ground has thawed and the
soil has dried out enough to dig and rake
in without caking, that is the time to begin.
The following flowers (in fairly moderate
climates) should be planted in late March
and early April. Sweet peas you plant on
St. Patrick's Day and the others sweet
alyssum, snapdragons, marigolds, cornflow-
or, chrysanthemums, larkspur, pinks, pop-
pies, snow-on-the-mountain, baby's breath,
sunflowers, eandytuft, four-o'clocks, forget-

So you iardeners get busy for your young
tender cabbages, your early peas, beans and
lomatoes,. as well as all your blooming flower
friends.
Some time ago on our page. we spoke
about making dish gardens. Spring dish

FOR THE IRISH
OP o' tthe ol,,in' to you,--shure St. Patrick's Day is a great day for the Irish and
a giatt day to celebrate and entertain whether ye're Irish or not.
Weorin' of the Green
i
Woolea bit C(g ',i', in hoenor of Ireland's saint and rmenher your Irish friends
with a ld or phlli. callI on their special day. It's little acts of thoughtfulness like
this thai bolp yu II i n.ilke and keep friends and besides the "little people'' the
Leprechauns of Ihlrind will love you if you do.
Come Back to Erin's Kitchen
Now wc've lois of I loCies on the other part of mrn page for your March l7th
cookery so failh alL
hen.lra get busy and use sone of thlem.
Maybe you,'d likeIt ;ask Ihe O'Brien's or the MU'phy's to dinnrer in honor. of the
occa ionm.Sh c itnid helire's ; meal to melt the heart of anly Irish nn or maid.
(ream of Parsley Soup
Pot Roast ala Erin
New hlrsh Potatoes with Butter and Parley
CGrie' peoll Spring green salad
Blarney stoles
Coffee
St. Patrick's Day Bridge
Invite the girls over for afternoon bridge or ask Patrick and Bridget over for
dessert and
eveniing bridge. Use shamrocks fur tallys and serve cffee and Killarn.y
Cake.
For the Children
For a special St. Patrick's Day treat for your youngsters make themrl sonmi e
lollipops. Pour a qupot botl i of lime soda into youar efrigeratoo ice trays filling
them two-hirds fill Set controls at coldest point to freeze. Freeze about one hour
or until mushy. in the 'enter of each cubr put a sholt wooden skewer or a heavy
toothpick. (,utinmu fleezing until solid. (Makes about '30 lollipops.) Note: If you
have any pare f.od coloring in green, add a little it the limne soda in your trays
because tie soda itself freezes to a very light shade of green and the added color
will insure a rich "KIelly" green color appropriate for St. Pat's day.
Party for the Small Fry
St. Patrick's Day is juilst the day for a party for your young fry, Let them send
olt invitations primnti on shamrocks cut from gree. constructiun paper.
The party table can be made simple but colorful, by pinning green paper shamrocks
of different sizes all oiver a white table cloth. Plae eards ran be "blarney stones''-
oridinary stones will lb e children's names paintedon with green paint. lefresbments
can be chocolate s..lniat topped with a green mi t cherry and shamrloc cooldes.
Thefke ar oill sorts of games that are fun to play at a cblidren's St. Pat'i h's Day
party, A sblanlroh bl ul is fun. Place plaper shamrocks all around the living loom
or other roon in which thelparty is held. Place nomeof thm in full vilw, ithers
partially hiddien. Each child tries to see how many he cai find counting only--not
emovilhg atry. 'lTheone with the longest list wins. A big green lollipop would be an
5 lbs.) appropriate prize.
in tha roast For the Teen Agers
Your Ten ALg s would loive to have a I"Sbhaty Irish' party which is just a St.
Patrick' l)ay versmion of a tacky party. Send out invitations oil green derby hats
cut frorm cnstfructi, papel-. Instruct everyonie to wear old clothes. Make it a
supler party and srve "lfulligan Stew" in old cracked dishes, French bread and
butter and a big t1ssed salad and Blarney Stones or Iillarney Cake for dessert.
A game that will h faun for them to play is "Irish Songs.*' The guests choose teams.
At a given signal fromn a leader who is not on either side, one team sings a verse of
an Irish song. As the verse nears the end, the leader signals the other team and they
murst be ready to begin another Irish song anl so it goes back alnd forth until one
stock, team runs out of hisirh songs (of course there are no repeats), then the other
side wins. Little packages of green gum drops woull be fine for prizes. The boys
and girls will be asking you for Irish song suggestions and just so youql be prepared
here are son,: "'The Wearing of the Green.." "'My Wild Irish Rose," "When Irish
ilil.. n ' 'A Lill, Bit of liehven.,' .DidiYour Mother Come From Ireland."
Eyes Are Si
"Johnny I)oughboy Found a Rose in Ireland, "Where the River Shannon'a Flowing."
"'Danny Boy." "hrish Lullaby'" "Peg In a Low Backed Car,' "Kathleen Mavourneen,"
"I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen," "Come Back to Ireland," "Killarney," "Me-
Namara's Band." This game may well turn into a community sing which is always
fun.

and the thing for us to do is attend our meet-

NORFOLK, VA. going smoothly with
L. U. No. R-P9O at the
present time, but we expect things to start pop-
ping at a very near date, because our present
agreement with the Virginia El.etric and Power
Company expires on March 31, 1947, adli last
year. as some of you will remember, we hadll
quite a battle with the company arid the
ernor of the Stateof Virginia-in fact we were
all drafted into the State Miitia. The company
amle across at the last minute though and waved
a lirib .
Colletive hbrgaaining in the State of Virginia
has been given quite a heating, due to a couple
of laws passed by the speciae session of the Gen-
eral Assemlbly, namely, "Strikes in Publie Ic ttili-
ties' and '"The Right to Work" ills,. These bills
were drawn up by the attorney general of Vir-
gil.nia at the request of the Governor. or so they
claim. If that be true the attorney general could
make better money by taking a position as
head counsel for some public utility, as the bills
are in public utilities' favor. They would have
gone over big, back in the days of slavery.
The firt bill says it is unlawful to strike and
should we want to strik we e must help the eom-
pany hie someone to take our place on the job.
We must also tako the person or persons hired
and work with them for five weeks so as to tr.in
them so they can do our jobs while we are on
strike. Of course we ean work for the state if
we want to, but the Governor says how long we
can work. If we strike we will be sulject to a
fine of not less than $10 or more than $1.000,
and not more than 12 months in jail. Now the
company will be penalired by having the (Gy-
ernor seize their property and run it for them.
(the proposed law was for 10 perceant and only
charge them 25 percent of the profits.
The second bill says a person can work with-
out belonging to a union. In,, other words.
there can be no closed shop in the Swtate f Vir-
ginia that is in any enterprise that is covered
by the Natioial labor Retinus Act. Therefor,.
it only covers intrastate enuterprises.

talking them out in a friendly way. Of this
much I am sure. no mmunicipal executive cal
afford to wait until a grievance, small or
large, has become a public issue.
I Iuggwet that public administration re-
quires that the executive not wait for em-
ployees to come t him or to his department
heads. He should take the initiative. M.ore
specifically, municipal utilities should pro-
vide adequate machinery for employee
operation, to remove causes of grievrancs,
and to develop morale in the service.
I recommend that each municipal utility
establish a grievance machinery. It should
permit each employee the right to be repre-
sented by a person of ,is own choosing, whoi
need not be an employee of the utility. It is
most important that each employee knows
of his right and understands the rules; that
he has no cause for fear; and that he will
be given fair treatment. Under the griev-
once procedure of the Los Angeles De.part-
lent of Water and Power an employee may
appeal to his Immediate supervisor and
from his decision he may go on up to the
general manager and, if necessary, to the
board itself, I am informed that the system
is working well. It has not been abused and
it has resulted in the satisfactory disposition
of all of the grievances, most of them at the
first level.
Such a grievance need not end in arbitra-
tion by an outsider. Provision often is made
in private employment for neutral arbitra-
tion, but it is not customary for municipal
agencies to arbitrate disputed matters in

Private industry has learned by experience
thit pelsoinel officials are wurti their salt
and
salaries are set accordingly. The per-
sunnl department should be delegated sufi-
ceat authority to handle the complex prob-
iens which may arise.
A trained staff of experts will prove a
valuable asset in determining wages anil
hlutrs and working conditions. It is the pre-
vailing practice for municipal utilities to de-
termine those matters upon the basis of pre-
vailing practice in private industry outside
In fact, the larger cities are committed by
ehartsr to the same procedure as is required
by the state code.
The quality of seride performed by
imunicipal utilities will be controlled in
large measure by the efficiency of its em-
ployces. Efficient employees can only be at-
trilctd by proper wages anid hours alnd
working conditio,,ns. In this connetion. it has
been my ofscrvation that although most talk
in lelerrminin E persnnel polity sereso to
eenter around wages, other inianae
,nle t
poliies are of equal, if not greater, sig-
nificance to individual employees. Moe
sptcifically, I refer to tile ecurity of tenure,
attitude of fairness by mana.gemn., individ-
ual recognition given to employees, ystetns
of award, opportunities for prog-ress by
co- merit, lean working conditions andi modein
tools and equipment. A careful a
nalysi(of
working conditions in each operatimon by
skille echicn will undoubtedly reveal
oplp,rtunities for employment by manage-
meat, There is the whole field of job Itraiing
which not only gives management all op-
portunity ito put over its poitl of view ill
gives the employee an opportunity to acquire
further knowledge and new skills.
Skilled technicians will not only be nee.led
to assist utility officials in analysis and plan-
ling such a comprehensive prnrm; such
assistance is essential in surveying outside
colnnlnnty conditions. Current surveys nlust
be eon.istently made for the purpose of de-
terminin prevailing practice in private in-
dnstry where the work performed is com-
parable. Periodic study should be made in
the relationship between jobs and job rates
within the utility operations so as to guar-
antee stability and balance within and tn
avoid intraplant inequities.
Wayne L. Morse stated in the opinion in
the City of Newark case: (5 WILR 295)
1such data as are at hand adequately sup-
port its taking judicial notice of the fact
that large oumhrs (if public onIlployces are
not paid enough to maintain a stanldard of
lviril ofi health asid decncy. In fact, it is a
rathel iterestiog coftmniinnmtary that the peo-

E(I(NOMIC WARFARE

As a member of the National lnlustriil

The association has formulated a uniform
electrical ordinance and unifornm statute
and, iI iromoting their general adoption as
a means or furthering recognition of the
established National Electrical Code and
NationM Elmectrical Safety Code.
Standarddizatimn is a major activity of the
group, as evidenced by association repre-
sentatin on the American Engineering
Standards Committee, the United States
National Committee of the International
Electrochenical Commission, the Electrical
Safety Confer-ence, and on the various sec-
tional committees of the Ameriacn Engi-
neering Standards Committee dealing with
specific standardization projects. Various
sections of the association have also formn-
lated standlards.
The National Council of Lighting Fix-
ture Manutaftu.er.s, relrelniig inole than
80 mlanufacturers and providing associate
membership for jobbers, retailers. and im-

The Association of Electragistes, e.., ist-
ing of contritctors and contractr dealers,
has developed standard forms and account-
ing nethois and is interested in local elec-
trical codes. It has also developed a standard
form for estimates, in accordance with
standard cost-accounting methouis. This
gives assurance against omisson of inl-
portant iters and is believed to reduce the
uneconomic cuntpetition of firnm whil, un-
derestimate their costs and either have to
skihp on the quality of work or do business
at a loss, this latter procedure gradu.ally
lcstrying their capital and ending usually
in bankruptcy. This srnvice also aids the
snall contrator in setting up his bilunss
on a sound basis.
One of the objects of the Association of
Electlagista is the wide recognition tf ihe
"Red Seal' standr ids for hou.sehold wi ring
installations, which establish minialum
standards for such work.
The Society for Electrical Dev, IIpmnit
represents the industry as a whole,, incud lg
the National Electric Light Association, the
National Electrical Manufacturers' Associa-
tion, the jobbers, retailers, an.d eectriml]
contractors. This organization carries on
statistical reearch and cooperative adver,-
tising and devotes a considerable share of
its attention to the small consumer. It is ill
effect a tlade-promotion body.
An electrical afety code has been worked
out as an '\meoran engineering standards
project, sphored y tilhe Bureau of Stand-

CAMPAIGN TO TRIPLE
PUBLIC HEALTH NURSES
Services of the public health nurses of
America are dedicated to the home care
of the sick, the prevention of disease,
the development of sound minds and bodies,
and the establishment of comstructive in-
dividual health practices. Tribute will be
paid to their work by the nation in the
observance of Public Health Nursing Week,
April 20-26, 1947.
Ainl of the observance inhlude:
1. To inform people not already conver-
sant with public health nultag ser-
ices of the broad scope of the work
done.
2. To spread the message that public
health nursing services are for every-
body and are not limited to those in
the lower income brackets.
3. To encourage more nurses to enter the
field of public health nursing.
4. To interest more high school and col
le]ge girls in choosing public health
nursing as a career.
5. To help relieve pressure on hospitals
by calling attention to the fact that
part-time professional nursing care is
available to people at home,
6., To stimulate the development of or-
ganized health services in all areas of
the United States.
More than 20,000 public health nurses are
employed in the United States and terri
tories by local, state and national agencies,
They work for health departments, boards
of education and other official agencies and
for non-official organizations such as visit-
ing nurse associations, tuberculosis associa-
tions, insurance companies, and industries.
The objectives of the employing agency
may limit some of the nurses to particular
health problems, or to certain groups of the
population. For example, nurses working
with tuberculosis agencies devote themselves
largely to the control of tuberculosis, A
nurse employed by a board of education con-
eerns herself chiefly with the health of the
school child, An industrial nurse may co.-
fine her activities to persons employed in a
particular plant. Most public health nurses,
however, are concerned with all family and
community health problems and are respon-
sible for looking after persons of all ages
from infants to old folks.
The nurse's acceptance in the home, as a
nurse and a teacher of health, gives her
rich opportunities to know people and to help,
them to get well or to stay well and even,
in some instances, to achieve optimum health.
The nurse's first responsibility on every
home visit is to do whatever she can to
hold the line against disease.
If her agency includes bedside nursing
in its service, she renders nursing care to
the sick. If her agency provides only in-
structive nursing services, she helps the
family to secure bedside care, or she demon-
strates to some relative or attendant the
care the sick person needs, and she returns
to supervise such care. One of her main
duties for the sick of the community is to
help them secure medical diagmnosis and
treatment. She assists the family in carry-
ing out the doctor's orders.
Her Help Is Multiple
In many homes the nurse finds that men-
tal, emotional or social problems are a drug
on the family's well being and an obstacle
to recovery of the sick. She helps the mdil-
The Journal of ELECTRICAL WORKERS and Operatlors
vidual and members of his family under-
stand their ealm,tiolr difficulties, and when
necessary puts the family in touch with an
appropriate sourc of help in the community.
The public health n'se's role as a teacher
of health involves her in u variety of duties
that the average person would not ordi-
narily alOciate with nursing. She may ar-
rive on a visi to give instruction and care
to a mnotier if a newborn baby only to find
that the screenless house obliges her to turn
her attention also to malaria control. On a
communicable disease visit, she may notice
the unsanitary iridition of the well in the
backyard and turn the discussion to sanita-
tion and perhaps initiate a visit by the san'-
tary inspector. When she assists a family
in getting a birth registered, she is in the
field of vital statistics.
On the whole, the publie health nurse
works with and for il.....on beings, to help
them improve in healithi avoid sickness, and
deal effectively with those illnesses or acci-
dents that do befall them.
We Need More Public Health Nurses
Today, for the country as a whole we
have one public health nurse to approxi-
mately every 6,500 persons. To render a
complete public health nursing service in-
eluding bedside nursing in the home, our
country needs one public health nurse to
each 2,000 of the population. Based on the
1940 census, this would require at least
65,000 public health nurses, about 45,000
more tat]. we now have. The American
Public Health Association has recommended
that a ratio of one public health nurse to
each 5,000 of the population he maintained
for preventive services exclusive of nursing
care for the sick. At least 10,000 additional
public health nurses are needed for the pre-
ventive services alone.
SUGAR
(Continued Llfrom
page gi)
grinding mill owners were the first to ask
for production regulation. Administration
for allotting quotas within the country were
instituted but they proved ineffective and
were opposed by the Americans. Interna-
tional plans for cooperation were put for-
ward, but none alleviated the situation until
1937 when an international agreement was
concluded which attempted to stabilize the
marketing areas as they existed at the time.
Twenty-One Nations Enter Cartel
This international government cartel was
entered into by 21 nations, including the
United States and Great Britain, and it
represented 85 to 90 percent of the world's
sugar producers and consumers. It did not
decrease government barriers to importa-
tion but it freed the market from future
ones. Production control was established by
a provision that in general, stocks should
not exceed 25 per cent of annual production.
The agreement set up an International
Sugar Council which was to administer the
assigned quotas. Representation on the
council was fixed so that the sugar-export-
ing countries had 55 per cent of the votes.
The United States and Great Britain-
largest importers--received 17 votes apiece.
Cuba had 10 and Java nine, they being the
largest exporters. The couneil's powers were
narrowly limited with regard to altering
quotas up or down. The United States
Government passed legislation to fix the
quotas agreed upon, allotting 55.5 percent
to domestic areas, i,, United States sugar
beet an6 cane, Hawaiian, Puerto Riean
and Virgin Island cane, and 44.41 to the
Philippines and Cuba. This meant that
3,715,000 tons would come from domestic
areas, and 800,000 long tons unrefinad 4ad
50,000 tons refined from the Philippihes<As
a result of the change in policy, Cuba. as
exporting to us in 1938, 27 per cent 4$ our
total consumption while in 1929 it had been
62 per cent.
Naturally the Cubans hope for an en-
hanced position in our market and they pre-
fer that a standing agreement be made
which will guarantee them absorption of a
specific amount. During the war the United
States bought virtually the whole of the
Cuban crop and production has incresied
clmnsiderably over 1!lt0 output. We hope
this year for 5,000,000 tolts or more from
Cuba.
What of the Future
What will the future of the sugar busi-
ness be? New laws will soon be passed in
Con..gress. That a more normal state of
affairs will come out of the morass is un-
likely. All of the sugar interests, (including
the cane refiners who have insisted that the
off-shore sugar be imported raw so that in-
dustry will not develop in the islands to
compete with them), have very powerful
representatives in Washington. At crucial
times they band together to see that they
can each get from a new pie the proportion
that it had of the old one. The senators and
representatives of the sugar beet states
never fail to vote for higher tariffs and sub-
sidies.
There is no single answer to the problem
of supplying the world economically with
sugar and at the same time creating healthy
business and social conditions everywhere.
If our sugar industry was destroyed to-
morrow, many people would he jobless. As
the improvements in cane cultivation and
beet sowing and harvesting machinery are
perfected, many will lose their jobs anyway.
The sugar may, however, comemore cheaply
to us, and for that the public will be thank-
ful. In the meantime, we should not be in-
sensitive to the plight of the Cuban nation.
In time of need, we cry "More, Morel" but
we do not hesitate to turn a deaf ear to
their pleas in our own time of plenty.
Problem for UNO
Here then, is another problem which de-
serves the attention of such bodies as the
economic and social council and the interna-
tional trade organization of the UNO. A
report on the sugar situation was made by
the League of Nations but it gave no per-
tinent recommendations beyond telling the
interested parties to work it out for them-
selves. Eventually that happened, as we
have seen, to a limited degree. The solution
was not thorough, nor the way progress.ive.
The 1937 international agreement might
be called an attempt at economic planning.
It was not based on really fundamental
prinoiples of economics, but on greed and
fear. Its purpose was to protect the
existing business interests, not to remedy a
sick industry. If the interests had been less
monopolistic and more democratic, well and
good; but they were not. The sugar prob-
lem, again, is proof that true international-
ism is a thing of the future. Nowhere is
is there a lack of work to be done. We are
only wanting a method to see that it can
be done profitably in a free enterprise eeon-
ony, with the interests of the public as a

breaking question. The young widow,
faced with the double task of providing
both income and home life for the little

worker leaves a measure of security to his
widow and dependent minor children: (1) a
monthly annuity to the widow so long as
she has the children in her care and does not

child until he reaches age 18, ceases to be
dependent, or marries.
This is protection which railroad workers
struggled long and well to win for their
loved ones. You may well be proud of it.
