" UNION COOPERATION 

Somewhere on the Pacific Coast 

T any time shortly before midnight on 

the loadns learing aiin Port.and, 

Oreg., or lay other city where the 

Kaiser shipyards push their 24-hour 

schedules, youl may see men and women in 

helmets, looking very much like soldiers, 

com ing down to bus tops a d a king 

for the night bus to carry thein to the 

plant. These quiet, poised figures dramatilze, 

as well as anything, the substantial. 

eager spirit with which the workers in 

the maiacle shipya'ds of the Kaiser C(ompany 

pursue the 365-day schedule to turn 

out ships at terrific rate. 

A rep rQIeeii.ftltv of tile ELECTRICAL 

WORKERnS JO ..URNAL wais alhed to v tsi 

one of these yards-probably the same 

unr that the Piesident, f the inited 

States visited a ,eek later anid Lt View 

the organzatlon, the physical setup and 

the systm, of employee elations which 

have made the Kaiser eIn..Cies so £atnous 

within a few moiiths. 

BACKGROUND OF ACHIEVEMENT 

Picture a long arm of the sea jutting 

anp into a e,,ve, wherle only a short time 

ago Was aI d..n. 1 , heap, low covered w'ilh 

attractive white buildings uneamoufiagel, 

which glisten in the sun and give the mipressieri 

of well being and success. Guards 

in natty linorlms are everywhere, without, 

howe Ler, the sugestlon of force or 

coercion, but of ania[lie traffe directors 

and guides to visitors and to the working 

force. 

All great ideas, whether they be in, production 

or in phlysics, are simple. The 

Kaiser shipyantls are simtale. It is sami by 

the working force that Henry Kaisee took 

romance olt of shipbuilding, which mens, 

of cou.rse, that he smashd precedents 

and destroyed traditions. The organization 

that can Wuild a great ship in a few 

days must be a triump,,h in physical setup 

l.. it bllust a an al lelaetrical ijtb 

Thlese bIilllihngs that are strung along 

this arm of the sea arc therc with wise 

intent so that tiine is saveld in every op 

ejstilo, and the sub-struchn'e s of shilps 

built in one bublindg can be swiftly naered 

to anlother m.d finally assembled on the 

Miracle 

yards become communities 

with common interest in production 

and war's success, 

shared by all 

ways, ready to be launched into the waiting 

water. At this moenat three invasion 

boats xere rapidly taking form; one was 

to be launched the next day as the oiling 

of the ways attested. Everywhere it was 

aplparent that woi.anjIower was being 

used to supplement manpower in the 

great push of production. 

WORKERS' SPIRIT HiGH 

One has only to stop and chat with 

workers to understand their feeling of 

the pulse of the grent enterprise anid thir 

comphete accord with uanageient. They 

like the way Hen'ry Kaiser does things. 

They feel a part of an impor-tant enterprise. 

They like the good welfare facilities 

everywhere apparent in these buihlings. 

They like to see the guards in their natty 

uniformisThey fee that the Kaiser Cornpany 

does not spare cash when it collies to 

giving the workers the best conditions 

under which to work. They say, too, that 

Henry Kaiser is a fighter who opposes 

them when he believes they are 'vrong, 

but he always fights above the table and 

is fair. Loyalty is appa.rent. 

What Kaiser appears to have dlone 

differently from any ither company is to 

embrace the ideas of union-manag.eenct 

conperation in sincerity and to tapitalia, 

the eommunity feeling of workers on the 

job. The workers . eel a part of an industrial 

commnrunity that is going places and 

doing things, and they are made to feel 

that they aie part of th, show and are 

going to be faily trealed no matter what 

problems or emergency arises. 

headers of this description of the great 

Kaiser enterprses may ,e sure also that 

tile great push for ship production is 

transfe .in i mg cities onl the West ( Cuast 

and also raising new problems for unions. 

One local union of another craft .. po,- 

tWAt iil Oregan by I'agoIni of its connection 

with the shipyards, has now reahed the 

stupendous figure of fi0,000 men.bership. 

The inside local union of the lnternational 

Brotherhoofd of Electrical Workers 

in Portland has 6,(00 members and expects 

10,000 by June., 1943. The union has 

cause to expand in rlw offices, take on 

new business agents and Lo overflow into 

hired halls where a large staff places men 

after a thorough-going questionbig as to 

their attainments. Moreover, the employment 

of women has presented new problems 

not only in personnel but in union 

Lmanagement. We may say here that forelitcn 

and stiperintendents of electrical 

construction in shipyards are on the 

whole well ildeased with women employees. 

They are assigned jobs they can perforn 

adequately. They are stable, in earnest, 

and, according to one superintendent of 

construction, they know what teamplay 

is and do not bring minor grievances for 

adjustment, as do ien. 

Henry J. Kaise, ha! probably sulfed 

a mate rjg evolution in his policies of 

relationship with employees. le first 

came into public notice as head of the Six 

Companies group that built Boulder ls)an. 

It may be re.alled that the eiployee Ie 

lationships or' that job Vera rot at fist 

of the best and that the International 

Brotherhood of Electrical Workers headed 

a m..v..e.ent to pj.o... to Con, .r..ss the 

bad working eodiiens on the job. The 

Six Companies have new grown iitei nine 

companies. They have a Dooprative 

workbig arrangement, and anl aiiabla 

personal relationship between directors. 

These colpanies are: Henry J. Kaiser 

Co,; J. F. Sheas Co., Inc.; W. A. Iechlt1l 

Co.; General Construction Co.; Bechtel- 

McCone-parsons Corp.; The Utah (o, .- 

str..tion a Co.; Morrison-Knudsen Co., 

Inc.; MacDonald & Kahn, Inc.; and Pacific 

Bridge Co. Whenever a job is gives, 

the facilities of all nine companies and 

the capital of all mne colpanies are 

poured into the enterprise. According to 

th, Wall Street Journal, here is the setup 

of the Kaiser interests: 

MANY RELATED ENTERPRISES 

HENRY J. KAISER CO. Apex of the 

pyramfid is the Henry J. Kaiser Co., of 

Oakland. A street paving, rock, gravel 

and cemnt concern ... caIly days, iL still 

carries on these activities, and also has 

become the guiding company for the laiified 

Kaiser interests which include oiwership 

or part interest il chemical, ce- 

,ent, shipbuilding, steel, niceile tool, 

cargo ship engine, heavy construction, 

and other enterprises. MT, Kaiser is ptesideal 

of the Henry J. Kaiser Co.. which

KAISER CO., INC-Operates Richmond 

shipyard No. 3, the Vancouver. 

Weash., shipyard, and a yard at Portland. 

The new iron ani steel eterprise at Fentans 

is a project of this company. The 

three shipyards are owned by U. S. Maritime 

Commission, while the steel plant is 

financed by an It. F. C. loan, Mr. Kaiser 

is president, and owns control of this 

compn , i y. 

PERMANENTS METALS CORP.- 

Henry J. Kaiser is president of The Perumn.nte 

Metals Corp. This company opelates 

Richmond shipbuilding yards No. 

I and No. 2 and owns the magn.esium 

plant at Permanente, Calif. Incidentally. 

the magnesium plant is the only uncertaiu 

note so far in the symphony of Kaiser 

successes. The controversial Hansgirg 

process is lagging in production while its 

invntor, a native of Austria, languishes 

in an internment camp. Funds for the 

two shipbuilding yards were furnished by 

the Maritime Commission, while the maRgeuam 

enterprise was financed by an 

R. F. C. loan. Collateral for this loan is 

prdit accruing to the company from all 

of its shipbuilding operations. 

THE PERMANENTE CORP.--Third 

layer of the pyramid is the company 

which bid $1.19 a barrel, or about 20 per 

cent below the prevailing quotation on a 

5,000.0O0barrel cement contract for the 

Shasta Da, in California. When the bitis 

went in Mr. Kaiser didn't have a plant, 

hut he built one in the record time of six 

months and the contract is still being fulfilled. 

The Pernnente Corp. owns two 

te.amships, which are nsed as cement 

carriers off the West Coast. Mr. Kaiser 

is president of the company. 

COLUMBIA CONSTRUCTION CO.- 

Iluihler of Bonneville Dam,. The company 

also constructed the jetties at Grays Harbor, 

Wash. Largest project at present is 

the construction of the Los Angeles-Lonl 

Beach breakwater. This latter projett is 

a joint veture between the Colroubia 

Construction and other moetwrs of the 

"Six C...panie.'" It is Kaiser operated. 

OPERATES LONGEST CONVEYOR 

COLUMBIA CONSTRUCTION CO., 

INC. Similar in name to Columbia Cnlstruction 

Co., but an entirely separat 

company ashide from the fact that Mr. 

Kaiser is president of both concerns. The 

Columbia Construction Co., Inc., is furnishing 

aggregates for Shasta Daro. This 

is the company which operates the longest 

conveyor ever built Oro miles long) 

over which gravel for the darn flows in an 

endless stream from the beds to the site. 

Cost was reported in the neighborhood of 

$1,100,000. 

CONSOLIDATED BUILDERS, INC. 

-This company completed Grand Coulee 

Dam. This dar, together with Bonneville, 

is playing all important part in the lintirnai 

defense effort by furnishing power 

to electroometallurgical industries, notably 

aluminum, in the Pacific Northwest. 

There are many other Kaiser interests. 

but the foregoing are the main ones. Mr. 

Kaiser is interested in the Joshua Hendy

ard-breaking time, and also licensee of BROTHERHOOD ON JOB 

Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing At one Kaiser shipyard the 600 eleetrical 

workers on the job were under the 

direct control of J. W. Seatbol, a membe, 

of the international Brotherhood of Electrical 

Workers since 1909. Seatrld is an 

enthusiastic technician deeply iteb.rested 

in all minor and major problems of eletricity. 

and he told the representative of 

the ELECTRICAL WORKERS' JOURNAL what 

he liked about his job was that "We never 

wait for materials. If we don't have na,- 

telishl we improvise as best we can." 

Seaol~d expects to have 1,500 electricians 

on this particular job by June, 1943. 

Undernqeath the long line of buildings 

that front the arm of the sea is a tunnel 

one-quarter of a mile long called "The 

Big Tube." It is built of corrugated 10- 

gauge pipe and is seven feet in diameter. 

Both ends of the tWnel have steel and 

concrete bulkheads. At one end a floodwater 

pump is located. The south wall of 

the tunnel suppurts a four-inch oxygen 

pipe, a 16-inch air pipe, a 10-incb water 

pipe, a three-inch steam supply line. , 

two-inch steam return, a two-inch hot 

water supply and a one and one-half-inch 

ho water t return with pressure varying 

from 25 pounds in the three-inch steam 

supply line to 85 pounds in the air and 

water lines. 

The north wall supports three electrical 

lines of 440 volts; three electrical 

lines of 220 volts, and two lines of 110 

volts. Each lodd-umbered way--six in 

all -houses substations which transform 

the 11,500 volts into the abtve-m.entione.d 

440, 220, and 110. From eah of these 

stations a manhole leads directly to the 

tunnel. Telephone connections to which 

portable telephones can be hooked up are

El.i S. BEVATIN) fN orm psident 

of the Scott ih Trades Union Coun- 

N oil and now the president of the British 

Cooperative Congress and of the 

Scottish Cooperative Wholesale, came to 

the United States in October. 

When Beaten speaks, he speaks as the 

representative of a great majority of the 

people of the British Isles. In his cooperative 

organizations in Scotland are 

more than 60 per cent of all the people 

of Scotland. The British Cooperative Congress 

represents a majority of the people 

in all the British Isles and now that cooperatives 

and tries unions ae assodated 

in the Eritish National Council of 

Labor, most of the workers of ll kinds 

arid classes are affiliated in a common 

effort. 

Beaton believes the consumer cooperative 

offers the best key to building a new 

social order in G ..eat Britain, ili Scottish 

Wholesale Society now owns ship i1neos, 

tea, plantations, chain stores, factories. 

industrial plants, and is the biggest kinile 

business in the British isles. His business 

organization lent hundreds of millions of 

dollars to the British government without 

interest. Iis o'franizatilon purchaes a 

great deal of gasoline and ill from Amer 

iaon corporations. 

Plans are llow tnder way to operate 

other great enterpries in Great Brhain 

by the same method of ownership onl a 

non-profit basis. The cooperative so.iety 

is looking to private electric utilities in 

particular. 

"THEY SHALL INIfERIT" 

"Ninety per rent or more of the people 

at home are workers" he said. "We have 

not more than 10 per cent made up of the 

rich or wealthier classes. And this time 

we are determined to have our place at 

the peace conference and to make it 

known to the world that we are determined 

to have another kind of a world 

and that there shall be no more war." 

Beaton was asked why he had confidence 

that the workers in the British Isles 

would be any more effective at the peace 

conference and in post war planning than 

they were in the past. He was reminded 

that organized workers had made many 

speeches and declarations and had undoubtedly 

tried to express their will before 

but that for some reason they had 

not succeeded.

have organized the National Council of

not know what war was. We have fought 

many wars, too m.any of theln Ibt they 

were fought away from our shtwe. andl 

we only cane close to war when/ We lost

what it is to have air iplanes ovtrhead, 

when you cannot see theml, I when[ you 

know they arc thore to rain dawn on lUs 

death and destruction. We know whtat it 

is to exist under a blackout every night.

stretch into every hamlet. They have berome 

the most powerful inust ria organi -

ntarely by consulnrs and are operated 

on a non-profit basis, 

"It would be hard fur you to find a

he said. "We art e the largest nillers in with them us we should because we recognize

can operate business far better than did 

those presumably great business minds 

who made the mess that we are now in. 

"We are providing for ourselves, 

through our cooperative organizations, 

with everything the consumer needs from 

the cradle to the grave. Our burial societies, 

which provide everything and 

provide it at far less cost and in far better 

taste. handle 300 fulerals a week. We 

provide our people with all the service 

and the needs of a funeral at about 12 

pounds, or $60. You know, years ago in 

Scotland the private funeral directors 

used to say that 'the time to get them 

'as When there was a tear in the eye.'

trades union gets for its members $2 or

raise the prices and about all we did in

their future Social security, as the Federation 

views it, is a basic social justice 

measure by which workers who have 

successfully demonstrated their ability to 

be sell-supporting are protected against 

bemninng dependent reei pients of relief 

because of emergencies outside of their 

conItol. These emergencies fall under 

three catgoiles: ( I) old age, when physical 

work ability declines; (2) disability, 

which is both permanent and akin to 

prelmature old age ald temporary, due 

to illness, which cause unemployment; 

and (3) unemploynlent due to loss of 

jobs. The Federalion is cnoec rned rot 

only that benefits for these emergencies 

shall be available, but that they shall be 

adequate t inalidi the seff dependency 

of wlorkers aid that they shall be well

DOES TIlE SYSTEM WORK? 

NNowv that our social security system is 

KING STREET, TORONTO 

Notable 

statement becomes official 

policy at Toronto 1942 convention 

in its seventh year, it is our obligation to 

evaluate and determine whether the sys 

tern accomplishes the purposes for whieh 

it was designed, and, if not, to suggest 

am~endmients. 

As the duration of employment for 

wage earners is determined by the needs 

of production and business chance, work 

ers though performing inldis pen sable service 

for the company and for society, have 

no guarantee of permanent eplohyment 

or in.ollie. In order that this instability, 

wvhich is in the interests of the copany 

and the public, shall not exist solely at 

the expense of wage earners, p'ovisions 

should be iade to tide workers iver the 

In ergenie s that intelfete wilb income 

earning. Under I tr competitive system 

it would be difficult indeed for any coIn 

parny or any one industry to guarantee 

the economic security of its work stafr 

throughout their lives. But by poolirng the 

rishs, and by each company making contrilutiOns 

hlo a poolhd lund, companies 

can ul led ively provide for the human 

side of industry as they do for the materlI 

through depleciation or amortization 

funds. 

EMERGENCY STRAINS SEVERE 

In nnrmal timies social security can 

meet the need, but in times of great 

emergencies such as we are passing 

through, there is grave apprehension lest 

our system may not be adequate for the 

load it will have to ca]ry. At present employment 

demands are so large and so 

urgent that the number of those on the 

natironal wok force in both military and 

civilian occupations is between 58 and 59 

millions. As our manpowe r hasbeentaken 

by the military forces older men and 

women have been called to take their 

places and toI fill new jobs. Each year 

that the war continues, the military will 

require Tore men, and more of our normal 

reserves ,ill have to carry on civilian 

work. This means that a larger percentage 

of ou. population will be members of 

the work force and direetly.oncerned with 

social security provisions, paying contributions 

into it and looking to it for benefits 

to tide over e..e gence s. T]he greater

to a peace time econony. Nut only is this 

course wise plannnlg fo wage r earners I.t 

it is quatlly a prudent and constructive 

policy for business and for the, go.eranieet. 

Fur busi.s.. n expatnsion and

wheun invested in fedsral oands become.. 

available for current use, and by increasing 

current savings inflationary f.rces 

are proportionately decreased. For the 

wcrke $. it means the provision of insrance 

as a right while there is time to 

accumulate reserves to assure payment 

qof that insurance. 

PREPARE FOR FUTURE 

Obviously this is the cruclal time for 

revising our social s curity system to enable 

it to meet needs of iorkers in a 

period when emergencies will be cate 

elysnole in sharpness and i. Scope. Now is 

the time to set up an adequate and coordinated 

system capable of meeting the 

preoblems of post-war transition and 

peace-time production.

Americas were ropresTtrlld at the conference 

in addition to representatives of 

the Pan-American Sanitary Bureau and 

the International Labor Office. About 110 

delegates and advisers attended this 

confe.ence.

between conences and in 

order to promote coperation among the 

social security institutions of the various 

countries a Permanent Inter-American 

Committee on Social Security was 

created. The United States was honored 

by the election of Arthur J. Altmeyer, 

chairman of the U. S. Scmial Security 

Board, as president of the permanent 

committee. 0. 8. Stein, energetic and farsighted

* 

Thu chairman of the conferen.e was 

Mr. Miguel Etchebarne, Minister of 

Health, Insurance and Social Assistance

the President of the Republic of Chile, 

Juan Antonio Rios. A welcoming speech 

by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, 

ri-nEsto Barros Jarpa, officially opened 

the conference. 

Mr. Watt, in the name of the workers, 

and Mr. MeDavitt, in the name of the employers, 

were among several pesoiln, who 

responded to the opening address by the 

Minister of Foreign Affairs. 

FORMER CONFERENCES RECALLED 

The lIter-American Conference on 

Social Scrurity was the outgrowth of 

three previous conferences of the various 

Amtrican countries. Two of these concerned 

labor directly. The first was hold 

in Santiago de Chile in Janusry, 1!36, and 

the second at havana, Cuba, in December, 

1939, both of which were attended by the 

countries which were members of the International 

Labor Office. The third conference 

was held at the invitation of the 

Peruvian government in ioma, Peru, in 

December, 1940, on the occasion of the 

opening of the Workers' Itospital built 

by the Natiaa Saocial Insurance Fund 

of Peru. 

The labor conference of American colntries, 

members of the lnternational Labor 

Organization, held in Santiago in 1926, 

wah i conformity with the principle of 

tripartite representation of the Interimtiona[ 

Labor Organization, composed of 

government, employers' and workers' 

delegates. Compulsory social insurance 

was re'ommended by this group as the 

most effective method of providgin the 

protection necessary to the worker t nd 

his family. The social insurance recom.- 

mendations as drawn up at that time 

were reaiffirmd at the labor conference 

held in Havana in 1939. 

The meeting in Lima, Peru, in 1940 convened 

under the chairmanship of the Minister 

of Public Health, Labor and Social 

Ihsurance of Peru, Dr. Constantino J. 

Carvalh.. and with the cooperation of 

John G. Winant, at that time direcltor f 

the International Labor Organization. 

The representatives decided that a permraneit 

organiiation for promoting the 

collaboration (of social security institutions 

in American countries in cooperation 

with the international Labor Organization 

should be established.

THE ENTRAPPING NET 

The strategic position of Wester Eleetril 

is a hastion of ni.o......Itay ( xIrIOt is 

obvious. Western Electric was given the 

exclusive authority to manufactulre telephn.e 

equ. IilpmenIt and apparatus under 

the 11 e 11 patents, The patent cen iompany of 

the Hell System retained title to the tPee 

phon .. strUnents, nelely rentbifg them 

to its operating comn panlos. The operating 

conpanies paid the Bell System rents and 

royalties for the use of these hislstuernts, 

as well as surrendering substantial prtions 

of their capital stock to the parent 

complany for the franchise privilge. 

Thus monopoly control, made possible 

by control of the patents., was fortified by 

control of the companies operating under 

the patent licenses. This arangement 

tended to strengthen the Bell System 

monopoly in geonietic proportiono. Possession 

of titles to the instruments assured 

not only contiuous control, but 

also ,ontious re.v.en.e. And there wler 

many by-products. The lienase agree

THE BANKERS JOIN THE PARTY 

Credit control is one of the most strategic 

instr ... e..ts for the Itention of 

monopoly and the enhancement of ecoarom 

power. Some conception of the eeoriUrnic 

power which accompanies tho control 

of vast aggregatoms of cupitetl may 

be derived from the followinrg panssage 

froml the essay "Other Peple's Mfoucy,' 

written by Louis D. lrandeis years beforee 

e was appointed to thi Supren.e 

C.urt of the United Stats: 

"'The Equitable Life Assu am'e Society

$100,000 of stock. The dividend on this 

st..k is limited by law to 7 her r.ent; but 

in 191) Mr. Morgan laid about $3,000,000 

for $51,000, Ill value of this stock, or 

$5,88s2,:5 a shari. The dijvidend . turn on 

tlhe stock investn.en.t is less than oneeighth 

of I per e/nt, but the assets eontrolled 

amounted to over $500,000,000, 

A rid certaiM f those assets had an especial 

value for investment bankers 

namely the la'rg houlings of stock in 

hauks and tLust compeanies. 

petitive bidding prior to 1898. [I, 1899 anl 

ssue, of $3,000,000 in bonds was sod. An 

additonma $2,000,000 worth of bonds were 

,olI six months later. All these bonds 

were sold to bankers above fiar under 

co ipetitiv V co dithfs. 

In the ieantimie, the needs of financing 

h,,,lersd to meet the alarmdoig threats 

.,competition stimulated by the expiation 

of the basic Boll patents. The last 

tIf the competitive offers of American 

Telephone & Telegraph Company bonds 

was in 1905, Thereafter the A. T. & T. 

debt was finaIced without competitive 

bidding. This thange in policy is explainable, 

in part at Ieast, by tlie inereasi rng 

ilfluen.ce of the financial interests representing 

J. P. Morgan & Co., Kuhn, Lohb 

& to., and Kdder, Peabody & Co. Between 

1907 and 1936, a total of $900,000,- 

000 of non-convertible bonds, debentures 

aml notes was sold to Morgan firms and 

their associates. Of this total, infomi.- 

tion was available as to the underwriters 

fees i relation t) $835,000,000. The fees 

on this $835,000,000 amounted to 

$23,250,000. 

The preceding paragraph relates to the 

financing of the parent company only. 

Since the accession of J. P. Morgan & Co. 

as the dominant banking interest in the 

affairs of the Bell System, not only the 

A. T. & T. bond issues, but also bond 

issues of the subsidiary operating compan.es 

have been sold to syndicats ofganized 

by this firm.. Detailed information 

on all the Iinanc..ig operations of the A. T. 

& T. subsidiaries is not available for the 

whole period, but from 1922 to 1936 bonds 

in the principal amount of $411,000,000 

were sold. Of this total, 401,000,000 princi[pal 

amouit of oands were soIl to J. P. 

Morgan & Co. or to Morgan, Stanley & 

Cn,, Inc. The ,oulmnisson on the purchase 

and al, of these $4{H,000,000 

amounted to $10,859,000.

outrol capiotal, and bocause the sane Mr. the resnlting undocital concen tration of 

Morgan has Wxel(ised a very consider.bbe power and wealth in so few hands, the

While the moniptlistic traits originating 

with the primary Bell paten $were 

impressing a.i. tonsolidatin g thenmselves 

on the finanintM poliies of the corpoa,- 

liont adding profits and power, there was 

to ebbiug in the appreciaton of the 

lun que valU of patent control It will b, 

recalled that Alexander Graham Bell's 

first patents were in 1879 and 1877, But 

that the prospect of omniercially ex 

ploitinag these patents was clouded by the 

patents of Elisha Gray asld Thomas A. 

Edison whirl, xere being actively pro 

meted by the Weser tU/iliont Telegraph 

Company. In Ihe 17 years following the 

ipeace-pat with Western Union, whe,,by 

Western l.nion agreed lo withdraw from 

the telerphor field in return for the agreepeat 

of tihe Bell interests to stay u.I of 

the telegmaph hat ss. anI .. Iay specfied 

royalties to W stern Unio, thie telephone 

interests obtained exchuive rights in the 

telephone filld under 87 Western Union 

patents. By the time the basic patents expired 

in 189:1 and 189!4, the Bell System 

had acquired about 900 patents in ac - 

cordance with its adficttud policy .f 

patent acquisition for the purpose of nonopolizing 

talephony. 

But the abitions of the Bell System 

were never confined siply t .n.....nOliZgig 

the tlphone industry. As has heen 

emphasized., that is one or the mlost troihlesome 

features of profit monopoly. The 

following passage illustrates the point. 

It is from a letter, dated April 14, 1906, 

written by one thie A. T. & T. Presidnt 

Vail ht Ihe then A. T. & T. Presidnt 

Fish. 

F...... the very beginning of the idephon' 

baslniss, so far as I have had to

ANIY peopie ate studying first aid 

these days, and Tow the international 

Association of Electrical Inspectors 

has published a first aid course 

which should be studied by every electrical 

repair,,an. First aid to electrical appliances 

is the subjeet of this course. 

Those c'nveniences the Aameican housewife 

d(epends on mu..st be kept operating 

for the duration, because they are now almost 

i replaceable. 

Also, there may be a shortage of electriM 

repairmen, so the pamphlet points 

out another function for the electrician in 

war time-and that is to educate the pub- 

Iir in the care of appliances so that breakdow.s 

will be avoided, also the fire hazards 

and shock danger which accompany 

overoaded circuits anI frayed cords. This 

farsighted view is being encouraged in 

geod repair shops. After an article has 

been repaired, the customer is told how to 

avoid causing the same kind of damage 

again. 

UNION'S HELPFUL ATTfTUDE

say, Yes, though it will build up a great

While simple carpentry and plumbing 

repairs may be tackled by the amateur. it

INSPECTOR'S PART IN WAR 

We, as electrical inspectors, .r. playugno

our work ndl responsibilities are hemrning 

greater each day. We lre doing all ini 

otir pox~/,'w [I aSsist Lhe., gover. n.. t in 

conserving critical ra, materials such as 

rulbber, raicated rubber produts. copper, 

brasS, brouze, zinc, tin, steel, ion 

and many oth.' items which are so vital 

to the winning of this war. llowever , the 

electrilal industry cannot do witlout all 

of these mae.ilois. 

The emergency eemmittee if thi Egle 

trical C na. fitte of the N F. P. A., duimg

of 1,ell-trained and qualilfie 

tricians, and houd tint be

by handy men. jacks-of-alltrades 

or Mandrake the Magician. 

The work should be installed in accordanmce 

ith tested, provei andd 

sound recognized standnrds. However, 

during these time, there is an 

exceptional upheaval by those who 

are, taking advantage of the war and 

attempting to tear down the minimumll~l 

requirements far below the 

factor of safety. 

We must kcee, in mi ndI thet the NationaI

APPREMNT4 foCESd YIPeuel 

APPRENTICESHIP Stwdad& 

N the September JOURNAL we spoke of 

"making America the arsenal of democracy," 

by promotion of a uniform 

program for training apprentices. We 

pointed out then the tremendous need for 

skilled workers and the absolute necessity 

for speeding production and at the same 

time securing the future by training men 

on the job. 

In the above-mentioned issue of the 

JOURNAL we wrote of the federal apprenticeship 

program anti of the apprenticeship 

system as it has been adopted by 

our I B. E. W. workers. But we spoke of 

it only as having been adopted and put 

into exercise by the members of the inside 

locals of the Brotherhood. Now has 

come to our attention a copy of the upprenticeship 

standards of L. U. No. 386, 

of Texarkana, Texas. which have been set 

up for linemen. As far as we know, these 

are the only apprenticeship standards 

for linemen in existence. 

Proper training of young workers now 

and on the job means speedy production 

toward the ultimate victory goal and the 

building of a proper system,. efcient and 

Texarkana, 

Local Union No. 386, is foremost 

in field to train utility 

members 

safe, when peace comes. It is a credit, too, 

to our workers and our employers, that 

in cooperation with ou.r government, represented 

by the Federal Committee on 

Apprenticeship, they ].ave worked out a 

oompetent, far-sighted program that will 

insure proper workmanship not only for 

today, when efficiency and speed and accuracy 

are alimportant, but in the years 

to come, when post-war adjastmentse make 

organization and cooperation so imaportant 

in all work efforts. 


COMPARISON WITH NATIONAL 

Let us consider the setup of the Texarkana 

electrical workers' apprenticeship 

standards. They conform very closely to 

the National Standards for the Electrical 

Construction Industry formulated by the 

National Electrical Contractors Asseilstion 

and the International Brotherhood 

of Electrica Workers in cooperatio with 

the Federal Committee on Apprenticeship. 

The two principal differences between 

t respective he standards a. in the 

age grou]p requiLremnenit for applieants 

aid the rate of pay. RIegading the former, 

the age group as set up in the national 

staandards includes young men from 

IS to 24, while the Texarkana standards 

limit the applicants to the age group 

from 18 to 21. With regard to the rate of 

pay, the nvi mi..... begindi)n* rate as quoted 

in the national standards is 25 per cent 

of a journeyman 'virelnan's pay and in 

the lineman standards it is 60 per cent of 

a lineman's pay. 

Of course, the work experience to be 

covered and the theoretical learning prescribed 

to accompany it differ someWhat 

because of the classification to which eaeh 

group belongs. The Texarkana linemnu 

apprentice has a well-planned, comprehensie 

cour.se of work and study set up 

for him-one that truly qualifies hi. as a 

skilled workman-a journeyman lineman 

-filly competent to do the difficult and 

dangerous work he is constantly called 

upon to perform. 

The term of apprenticeship is not less 

than 8,000 hours, or approximately four 

years, of reasonably continuous employient. 

All apprentices employed in ac 

cordanco with the Texarkana standards 

are subject to a tryout or probationary 

period not to exceed 90 calendar days. 

During his apprenticeship, the electrical 

apprentice receives such instrution ald 

experience in all branches of electrical 

work, including the preparation of material, 

as is necessary to develop a practical 

and skilled mechanic versed in the theory 

and pIratice of the trade. 

MAN AT WORK 

WIDE RANGE OF EXPERIENCE 

Sonic of the major divisions of the 

trade in which the apprentice receives 

work experience are as follows: Pernianent 

and temporary construction, including 

distribution, heating, lighting, power, 

safety, substation work, switchboard 

work, Uncler distribution comes Steel, 

woo and d miscellaneous line distribution. 

Under hemaing are included cable and 

fuse center work. Conduit and fixture 

hanging are covered under lighting. Power 

takes in cable, conduit, Coltrol, fuse 

center, raceway and wire work. Blocks, 

busses and miscellaneous grounding are 

included under the division, safety. Substation 

division covers air breakers, oil 

circuit breakers, tranf.otrmers and miseellancous, 

and under switchboard con.ies 

erecting, setting and connerting, circuit 

breaker, instrument, relay and miscellaneous 

wiring, also instrun.ent, transformer 

and miscellaneous, metering and 

testing work. 

The second main division in this schldule 

of apprentice work is mintenancepermanent 

and temporary, which includes 

general maintenance; that is, moving 

equipment and miscellaneous work, and 

also lighting, line and power maintenance. 

The third main division is that of permanent 

and temporary telephone work,

OTHER HAZARDS OF JOB 

Last year in the 1940 sureve, the stal 

,sties for deaths fIom heart trouble and 

kidliy trouble were added to the previous 

list of deaths closely related to the o.c. - 

piuon. as niedica Iesearch has proved 

that the industry may be responsible iht 

part for the rise in deaths from tbese 

causes. Fumes from chmicalcs used on the 

job sometimes get into the blood streanm 

and injure the kidneys and cause heart 

failure. Figures fur these two di..eases 

are included again in tile 1941 report. 

TubLerculosis andi pneull ... ola are discites 

that have been coesely connected 

with our industry. A study made by the 

Metropolitan Lifle In surar.ce Company 

sriam years ago shows that the tuberes, 

lots rate among industrial workers is 12 

tines the rate for fa iners, twice as n/aly 

nudustrial workers lie from pleunlolia 

ad white-collar workers. atld the rate 

for heart diseases is three times as high. 

The electrical inlustry is definitely a 

hazardous one--surely the most hazard-

JOURnlRL OF 

ELE(TRIAL WUORHERS 

OFFICIAL PUBLICRTICT HITERInflTIOnAL BR9OTHERHOOD 

OF ELECTRICAL WORHERS 

Volume XLl Washington, D. C., Novembero 1942 

Fascism Raises Americans are used to seeing groups 

Its Head of business men operate in a democracy, 

to build up huge business organizations 

and to make huge fortunes, and at the 

same time, promulgate a philosophy that is antidemocratic. 

We have had such business men's organizations 

in this republic for at least 75 years, and fronm 

this fountainhead has come much of the anti-union 

propaganda, the open shop drives, the corruption of 

industry by finks and paid detectives and the whole 

messy operation of private business in behalf of a few 

men at the top. This form of business organization 

has reached its flower in these United States, and it is 

notable that these business organizations have given 

color to this country in such wise that other countries 

have declared that democracy is a failure. 

It is inevitable, therefore, that even in times of 

great national emergency and danger, these business 

organizations still operate without reluctance to press 

for that form of society which will permit them to 

continue to control great segments of American life 

and to build up huge fortunes at the expense of the 

underlying population. 

This group has given voice to its point of view 

fearlessly in an editorial in the business men's organ, 

the Saturday Evening Post. This editorial has attracted 

more attention throughout the United States 

than anything published during the year, and it has 

brought discussion in the Congress and caused Senator 

Norris, veteran liberal, to attack the point of view 

expressed. Labor can do well to look with sharp eye 

at what the group of business men centering in the 

Saturday Evening Post are planning and are doing. 

The chief point of attack on the current setup by 

the Saturday Evening Post is what it calls the illusion 

that collectivism is liberty. Because there have been 

reforms in the United States during the past 10 years 

which legalize collective bargaining, which grant social 

security to great groups of American citizens, because 

curbs are set on predatory interests by law, the Saturday 

Evening Post shouts that we have gone totaditarian. 

Here is a quotation from the editorial: "I 

there any one pillar of freedom which is a key to all 

freedom around which he can concentrate his defenses? 

There is such a freedom. Economic freedom. 

The freedom to develop his productive abilities, sell 

them to the highest bidder and retain for himself and 

his family a fair share of the benefits. When this freedotn 

is destroyed, the entire democratic structure goes 

with it," 

This sounds noble. It also sounds very much like 

democracy. But taken with the context of the editorial, 

it merely means that the strong have a right to 

exploit the weak and the smart have the right to 

exploit great masses of people and build up huge and 

ill-gotten fortunes, Indeed the whole editorial is perraded 

with the idea that it is exceptional men in industry 

who are now being hooked by the government 

and kept from giving their notable services to the 

whole. The Saturday Evening Post editorial is the 

declaration of the right of the few to exploit the weak. 

It is fascism pure and simple. 

Here is another quotation: "The human race manufactures 

most of its own economic problems by the 

simple method of periodically penalizing or destroying 

those talented members of society who can solve 

those problems." The underlying fallacy of this, of 

course, is that the people who have the money are the 

talented people. Over and over again it has been proved 

that the people who take the money are often the robbers 

and not the geniuses. 

Another fallacy which the Saturday Evening Post 

persists in purveying is that private enterprise is 

necessarily free enterprise. We all want economic freedom; 

we all want free enterprise, But how much freedom 

did the American worker have in 1928 when he 

was not allowed to organize, to express himself in industry, 

to take part in management, or have anything 

to say about his wages, his hours or his conditions of 

work? Private enterprise may be controlled enterprise, 

and during the last 50 years was controlled enterprnse-controlled 

by rich men for their own advancement 

and jot in behalf of the underlying population. 

This point of view is ably and beautifully expressed in 

the preamble of the Norris-LaGuardia bill limiting 

yellow dog contracts: 

"Whereas, under prevailing economic conditions, 

(leveloped with the aid of governmental authority for 

owners of property to organize in the corporate and 

other forms of ownership association, the individual 

unorganized worker is commonly helpless to exercise 

actual liberty of contract and to protect his freedom 

of labor, and thereby to obtain acceptable terms and 

conditions of employment, wherefore, though he 

should be free to decline to associate with his fellows, 

it is necessary that he have full freedom of association, 

self-organization, and designation of representatives 

of lis own choosing, to negotiate the terms and 

conditions of his employment, and that he shall be 

free from the interference, restraint, or coercion of 

employers of labor, or their agents, in the designation 

of such representatives or in self-organization or in 

other concerted activities for the purpose of collective 

bargaining or other mutual aid or protection; there-


fore, the following definitions of, and limitations upon, 

the jurisdiction and authority of the courts of the 

United States are hereby enacted." 

If the Saturday Evening Post and that, group of 

right-winged business men believe that they are going 

to bring back that day when the yellow dog contract 

and all its accoutrements prevailed, they are badly 

mistaken. At first thought one wonders at the temerity 

of this group of men that raise their cry for fascism 

in the midst of a war for democracy, hut they have 

always acted with this fearless regard for their own 

interests. 

Cooperating Newspapers have a habit of playing up 

100 Per Cent only alleged failures of labor to cooperate 

in defense and war programs. 

They do not play up i disinterested acts on the part of 

labor unions to forward the programs. Downl at Leonardtown, 

Md., the Cummins Construction Co. and 

Riggs, Distler Co. are building a new United States 

Naval Air Base. They employ a great many workers 

of the American Federation of Labor. This communil 

is generally a farm community, and farmers have been 

unable to got the aid they needed to get in their erups. 

The workers at the Naval Air Base offered their services 

free on any Sunday to farmers who may need 

them to harvest. 

Why We Are We are fighting a war so that we 

Fighting a War can maintain a way of life through 

the future which we have found 

through past experience to be not perfect, but pleasant, 

decent and dignified. 

That way of life to the average man is made up of 

many small things, which, grouped together, comprise 

such high-sounding titles as democracy and 

freedom. 

These little things consist of taking off your shoes 

and hoistintg yoer feet up on the porch railing after 

the day's work is done, of having a few beers with the 

boys on Saturday night, of pulling down the blinds 

and locking the door and answering the doorbell only 

if you feel like it, of respecting your neighbors' privacy, 

of going to the movies or to church whenever 

you take a notion. 

It is just such things that we are shcdding blood 

and sweat and tears to mailtain. 

Silver For conturies silver and gold have been 

grouped together as precious metals. Silver 

and gold have, moreover, boeel used for ages as symbols 

of wealth, power and magnificence. Ileaven's 

streets are supposed to be paved with silver and gold. 

Emperors and monarchs wore silver and gold as evidence 

of their regal position. 

Perhaps nothing, therefore, i*ndicats I he extent of 

the paroxysm of change which is shaking this planet 

more than the lowered position of these precious metals. 

Gold production in the United States has been halted 

by goverenent order, and silver-second in order of 

precedence-is being used to take the place of copper 

as all electric conductor. Recently a new war plant 

has received 1,000,000 pounds of silver for interior 

wirng andl switching. Now electrical workers may become 

silversmiths. At any rate, there will be novel 

work conditions on the job where silver, not Copper, 

rules. E ngineer$s paint ortl that silver is as good, or is a 

better conductor, than copper. Necessity now dictates 

its use. Not scarcity but utility determines its value to 

an embattled nation. 

Good-bye Social If anyone quietly took American 

Security? vworkers aside and told them that 

the important social security program 

in the country is endangered, they would not 

believe it, so assured has lahor been that this necessary 

adjustment to a fluctuating economic system has 

come to stay. Strictly speaking, no one is attacking 

the social security program from the front, but it is 

being done to death by slow torture from assassins 

who come in by the back door. 

Take the recent vote in the United States Senate 

flixing, for the war's duration, the contributory tax at 

I per een, when the law scheduled this tax to go to 2 

per cent, This action of the Senate did not attract 

much Iiblic attention, for it was accomplished with a 

grandiose gesture in the direction of patriotism in 

order to economize. But the action struck at the fundainental 

principle of the social security pro,/a m, 

namely, to build up reserves in time of prosperity in 

order to pay bpnIofils in lime of adversity. 

Take the inauguration of experience rating in the 

majority of states. This program also is dressed up to 

look like a just measure to encourage management to 

adopt sound methods of management to keep workers 

at work instead or laying them off. But management 

is not responsible today for employment. War effort 

is responsible for employment. The concept of experience 

rating is a narrow one, basing social security 

upon the plant or the industry, instead of upon the nation 

as a whole. Employers are now being exempt from 

tax payments in the majority of states for something 

the; don't do. As a result, social insurance reserves 

which sho(tid be mountbig are dwindling. 

Take the action or the state employment insurance 

executives organizing themselves into a lobby to fight 

alnd oppose the federal government. These executives 

are wilfully cripplbig the war effort, for their opposition 

extends to United States Employment Service. 

They move under the guise of defending democracy. 

They also whoop it up for state's rights. 

The fallac. of course, lies in the fact that democracy 

is not a territory but a process. It is no guarantee 

of democracy to have states rather than the federal 

government control job insurance. Indeed, it might 

work out in reverse, as it often has in the past. It is inefficient 

to have 51 instead of one job insurance programn, 

and the workers lose thereby.

Io .. Jar with those on which it chalps I 

Iii. Isn't onE of the most honored prece.pts 

of business to charge "all that the traffic 

will bear"? 

Rut it' ver much in the interest of us 

as a nation that the dani shall hold. 

A great many factors are contributing 

t* make this a soIle..'s market. I, tht 

first place, production of consumers' 

goods ha, been very much curtailed. A 

large share Of our manufactured goods 

and aso ow] foods are goi rg to war. Now, 

also we have umany workers whose inconies 

have been increased. Many have 

m.oved to new locations. and are trading 

in stores unfamrtiliar to them. We have 

tra..sportartion difficulties, it isn't as Easy 

to shop arou.nd. Neither do we have .mch 

hisure time for shopping. 

All the same, we at home here have a 

job to do, and that is to keep our worhl 

goinar in the right direction so that it will 

,e worth the fight our boys in the armd 

forces are putting up. WE THE PEOPLE 

must fight on the home front to keep the 

American way of living from being 

undermined. 

I think we are going to need organized 

price wardens. What better war work 

could the housewife be doing? Certainly 

it is a lot of trouble to keep track of the 

exact price you paid for each article you 

hought this month so that next annnth 

you can comare the record with the 

primes you are paying then,. It is a patriftie 

duty, however, Not only for yourself, 

but for your country. It takes the woln..n. 

who is the buying agent for the family, to 

keep track of these prices, and she is the 

oie who can get boiling madl over a onecenit 

increase she ha,, reasn to think is 

chiseling. 

As you probably know, every merchant 

is supposed to have a list of the 

price ciilings for his store. This list 

should be posted in a place where it is 

readily available to the customer. Now 

because, with certain exceptions, the ceiling 

for each item is the price charged it

or the period from September 28 to Ottober'

follow a uniform 'rice The sore t hivE 

dios not give special services such is 

charge aceounts anI di i veries, has lower 

prices than the one that does. 

The first r]ue for e.u.sunl.er pIotection. 

therefore. is to trage at the stores where 

prices a.. LOWEST. Do not pay the difference 

. il pri'e for delivery service unless 

you must have delivery service, Somec 

storES have a separate delivery charge 

based on the actual cost of giving this 

service, so that the cash-and-carry Custenira 

p ays a cash-and-carry price, and 

the one who must have a delivery pays a 

fair fee based on the distance the truck 

must go to hring it to he,. This ,ncourages 

her to place fewer but larger 

Rule Number 2 is to check prices actually 

harged with the stare's posted 

ceiling prices. Thi retailer can price his 

goods l.wer than the ceiling but he mst 

not go one half cent above. ie won't. if 

you and millions of others are on the 

watch. If there seems to be a discrepancy, 

take it p with him in a coirteuus way. 

If he does not caice yeOU aid yomi feel 

sure there is a peice violation. write a 

letter reporting it to the Offie of Price 

Administration,. Washington, U. C. 

L. Watch out for hidden price increases 

-charnges in containers. lowering qualily, 

"new recipe" brands at a higher price 

Recently the OPA authorized an i - 

creased price £oI a "new re ipe' soup.. 

Coins .n..r or.ganizatnis which compared 

the new soup with the "old recipe" satin 

brand, reported they did not believe the 

price increase justified. 

4. Always get a receipt, anI if possibh: 

have it itemized or do this yourself. Your 

thought right now is, "How ca, I do this 

in the grocery store where the checkr 

rings up a long lit of items, hands me a 

slip, but I have no way of identifyinrg achi 

item?" You can d. it if yon will take tihe 

trouble. Pick a time when the ,her it 

not rushed, take a pad aid pencil write 

down each item as he checks it, with the 

price. Then attach the cash register slip 

to your record. 

S. The final step a consumer c.. take to 

help elforce price control is to take a 

violation into court. The law says a con- 

Suiner who is overcharged can sue. If she 

proves it, she ollects $50 or three tiinte 

the overcharge, whichever is greater. In 

sone cities, of which New York is one, no 

lawyer is required. She must have ,,idence. 

and] that is the reason for keeping 

itei,,ed receipts. If she does not have I; 

rceipt dating back to last Mlarlih (or 

October), showing what the, ii ng p ice 

on the article should he, her own truthful 

statenent of the price she paid for the 

item at that time will be accepte d. Frilends 

who talde at the same stoe ati d who Cal 

corroborate her testimony about the price 

charged inl March wll strengthen the 

case. I po pjayment of $125 to the clerk 

¢if the small claims court, she arrangcs to 

have a suamon served en the sto.e 

keeper. These cases are generally handled 

withmin nwek in New York, tI, h. .nsumer 

gets a notice to appear, ard p obably the 

time in curt will be sIo rt. 

6& If you don't wish to take the case into 

court. don't feel you have enufgh videtle, 

andi et yon are sure there has been 

a violation you have an alternative. A, a 

ousmer with a consc nce, you shoUhd 

stop trading with this store. If you and I 

and milions of others condone price viola 

tins,. the structure will not stanl up. The 

darn will be so filled with little cracks and 

holes that it will collapse utt first I believe 

you shoud talk to the wner or , atager 

of the store, Tell him you are doing 

your bit by checking prices, and ask hint 

to explan the change you have noted. Unfortunately 

the OPA allowed price increases 

Inl many items because it was as 

serted that the retailer could nat handle 

these item, at the former established 

price So the store may be within the law 

when it raises the price, and you should 

always make sure you are right before 

you take any drastic action. 

People checking prices, asking ques 

tiens, hell) to keep the retailer an honest 

man. The govern.ment cannt possibly 

hire Enough people to watch every price 

in every stoae. And we shouldd't want at 

,xpect the government to do it. We the 

Pople should 'tend to this chore. 

I will say this: We wish the Pice egulotions 

were nt so complicated that 

sugar, for EXaIm .. e,. was the same price 

per pound ill every store, and that a ceilig, 

once establisned would stay there,. But 

we w.Om..en have always shopped around 

for prices. We Can continue to di it. And 

when we .ind a merchant who is playing 

fair, we Cait stick to him. 

A recent riport by the Brookings In- 

!titution finds that a great deal of the 

cost of distributing goods lies in fancy 

packaging, high pressure salesmanship. 

advertising. and special services,. "The 

high cost of persuasion, it is called. Now

California State Association 

of Electrical Workers 

Editor: 

The California State Association of Electrical 

Workers recently convened in Long 

Beach for a two-day session preceding the 

State Federation of Labor meeting. About 

250 delegates from all over the state met at 

the Hilton lotel, President Charles FoehA, 

blsintess manager of Local 6, could not be on 

hand due to a meeting If the International 

Executive Board, on which he represents the 

Ninth District. Before boarding the plane 

east he made the necessary arrangements 

with Secretary-Treasurer Al Shpeale, business 

m.anager of Local 40, to carry on the planned 

program- 

This year the electrtica workers have decided 

to concentrate their eiergis on those 

of the political questions most urgent to 

organized labor. The legislative eommnitte,. 

headed by International Itepresentative 

Amos Feely and Al Speeds, has been consistratly 

out iI front guarding the rights of 

all California's worker. Two lain .iSsues 

engaging their attention are the re-election 

of liberal Governor Olson and the decisive 

defeat of the infamous Slave Bill No. 877, a 

reactionary effort to shackle labor. 

An impressive list rf speakers well known. 

to the electrical workers were invited to 

speak. They included IT. M. Carsasce, state 

labor commissioner, ;corse Kidwell and 

George Kimball of the State Industrial Accident 

Commission; Arhie Mooney of the State 

Apprenticeship Coucil; Roy Wehe of the 

It. It. Commission (public utilities); W. F. 

Varley of the San Francisco Electrical Contractors 

Association and Warren Penn of the 

Los Angeles contractora' group. The contractors 

are our friends who know us and have 

worked with us luring the years of peace, 

The squeeze they are now getting may destroy 

the only organization equipped to solve our 

mutual post war problems. 

The officers electe 1 d for the next. year were 

President M. L. Ratcliff, of San Diego; Vice 

President S. E. Rockwell. of Oakland; Secretary-Treasurer 

A[ Speeds, of Hollywood.

needts a alaor organization, for proteetion. It 

he takes out a iB card its just like renting 

a house, which gives him s:oni protection, Iut 

not what he is enititled to. If he is just renting 

he will not take the proper interest as he 

would if be clie bIylig the house. If a 

window is broken or niye shingles are off 

the roof they are just patched up tenporarily. 

But it h, has an A irtd he will take the 

proper ilterevst in hin local as if he were 

buying the house the wirdows and roof 

would be fixed up properly, the same as if 

some bad condition arises in the local. Each 

installment on the home would be like an 

other month's dues. and a, the installments 

get smaller on the mortgage the years get 

larger on the iasi urn p 1 oiky. When the 

mortgage is paid off the full a roart nf the

On account of the war and the shortage of material, 

we are advising all officers and members that there may 

be a shortage of supplies and of emblematic jewelry. 

(There are no more loose-deaf ledger binders, and none 

will be available until the end of the emergency, because 

of lack of the steel used in making up the binders.) 

We will fill orders as long as we have the supplies, 

Remember-delivery systems are slowed down; therefore 

order early.

that each group suppress many of its ordinary 

activities while the internal struggle of economie 

and political variances continues to 

strain shift to gain leadership of the total 

effort. 

The two principal forces which drive ahead 

to direct the tremendous social movement that 

is sweeping along with the mobilization of 

America are represented by national labor 

leaders on one hand and the dollar-a year men 

from industry on the other. 

Dollar-a-year men have come in for much 

criticism as a result of their "busiess as 

osual" policy. Their traditional profit-grabbing 

policy has done more to handicap the 

national war effort than all the labor difficulties 

multiplied a hundred times,. 

The steel, aluminum, man.a..s,, tin, rub 

her, copper, and other bottlenecks have been 

largely due to the profit-hungry Washington 

representatives of ambitious big businesses. 

Production has been limited or restricted 

either dirctly or by the interference with 

factory construction so that thereby the price 

level and private control could be assured 

now and after the war, 

Labor ha. led a strong fight against this 

obvious inefficiency. Both A. F. of L. and 

C. i, 0. leaders have been instrumental in 

exposing these conditions are that actually 

the greatest obstacle in the way of ,maximum 

p1roduction of war materials. 

American railroads , tare not completely 

International Secretary 

without responsibility for some delays tf vital 

war materials. The principal trouble in that 

industry is the low wages that are being 

maintained despite the serious labor shortage 

situation which is being aggravated by the 

wage scale. 

Let's get working conditions and wage 

scales on the railroads adjusted so as to 

avoid having to look back upon the shorsighted 

labor policy that caused a shortage 

of railroad equipment. It would be just as 

destructive to the war effort as the vicosus 

profiteers who exploit the nations suffering. 

It must not be,

Another month has gone, anoth 

nearer to the victory that we must and will 

win regardless of the cost; another month 

of time purchased for this country, by blood 

and death, by agomly and sacrifice, by sweat 

and toil. The dollars that we are loaning to 

our governmienit we will got back with interest. 

We have no coin or medium of ex 

change with which to pay those who gave 

their ALL for us; nor call these brave and 

unselfish men and women be replaced. Their 

loss is a grievous o no. 

The price of victory is not all paid upon the 

battlefield. Brother Otto Graner gave his life 

while serving the reeds of the industries that 

turn out ,ur war needs. He fought upon the 

home front and gave his all to his country. 

To his family we extend sincere our sympathy, 

for Otto Bad Ilany friends in Local

popular mieeting place for the Edison employees

anid Pete Ev>aneff staged a reunion there recently

list. 

W. D. Mcxibben was home on a furlough 

recently arid I hope that it did much .s good 

for him as it did for his dad. Mae is mighty 

proud of the boy, who is now flight engineer

To those intereed, let us s-ay it was led by

were , IIrn than 10,000 in the entire parade. 

B r.ther Franks, representilg his local bniton,

On entering Jnarez the Mexican organizations, 

both labor and fraternal, formed a 

guard of honor on the Mexican de and welbcomned 

us into Mexico. Walking in the parade 

following behind the free republic of Mexico 

organizations. we paraded to arid through 

Juares and circled the city and came out by 

another lridge. Brother Franks said the 

dfistnee was more than seven miles and I e/i

ELECTRICAL INSPE'TORS

closed in these joints, and the frequent 

bending 'nay cause the wi i-es to break 

or the iisuat ion to wear off. A repairmala 

Cl[ rtplace these wires, maintaining 

the appli ae in safe coralilt ion for years 

nore of service. 

The electric fiatiron's speciail hazard is 

its ,onnetion to the circuit. Many fires 

hirbe en cause.d becatise '.sotn eon forgot 

to turn it off." The newer automatic 

tirns will not oxehieat to the danger 

point, bult if left conne.ted, power is wasted 

and the life of the iron diminished. A 

very good point is made that irons should 

ne!ver eb connected to sockts iLtended to 

supply atnps. The socket is not designed 

I. handle such a load. -inl diseonieftingr 

the cord is likely to dislocate the fixture. 

It's so much e asier to "pull the chain" 

than to disconnect the iron that the hollsewife 

somte day may very possibly go off 

Iear.iig the iron attached, and accidentally 

pulled "on" instead of "off." The iron 

should be connected tot convenience outlet 

in the wall and always should be discoie.tlooted 

when not in USe. 

Damage to the cord of an appliance at 

a point where the cord receives frequent 

bending, is apt to result in a short eircuin, 

The housewife should be warned 

about tbe proper care of cords. As a result 

of the scarcity of copper and of rub 

ber, the beautiful waterproof cord of yestoryear 

is becoming itnpossible to get. In 

ordh irary times, replacing a worn cold 

rather than patching it upl would ceit an 

ly be the advice of electrical inspectors; 

but sbe rtages are xpeected to be acute. 

therefore the advice is, if yol can restone 

tle cord to its original safety, repair it. 

(n a vacuu/m cleaner or flatiron, for instance, 

the cord is apt to wear tight it 

the handle of the appliance where much 

bending and friction results from movemeait

to tble housewife. M]any people do not 

realize what a shock hazard is present 

appliance frame, ,epai's should be ,nlde 

without delay. 

Why does a fuse burn out? Why isn't 

it, all right to put it a penny if you do not 

have another fuse to replace the burnedttut 

one? An astounding number of per- 

,SOS do not know the answers to these 

questions. The fuse is a safety device, diesigned 

to prevent dangerous overloading 

of circuits. If a burned-out fuse is replaced 

with a coih, the current will go 

through but the safety element is missig. 

You V an as electrician know and are 

qualified to explain what happens when 

wiles are loaded beyond their eapaeity, 

but the good explanatio of why we have 

fuses, as contained in this booklet, will 

help you to make a clear pictre. 

I, ordiuariy times, if you find that a 

circuit is overloaded because of a Iumber 

of appliances being connected and operatedI 

at tile same time, in addition to the 

bolyps on the gil-uit your advice would 

be to install an extra and heavier circuit. 

Now, howe.er. because of shortage of ,;aterabs 

extensions are permitted only if 

they contribute to defense housing. You 

run y have to count up the wattage of 

lights and aliances ad explain to tile 

liusewife that witl several lamps burning,

Some knowledge of the house wiring 

system is valudbe, especially right now, 

Io anyone who keeps hou-se. Becatise of 

tile shortage of copper, the anoulnt of 

wi'ing permitted in new houses has been 

Ipstrieted by lii.tlinz the miunabe of outlet,.

burned -out fulses, or worse fires. 

Any member of the Brtbherhood iny

SUMMARY OF PROBLEMS FACING 

ELECTRICAL INSPECTORS 

(Continued from 9age 543) 

the United States and at least double that 

,umber were injured by fire. Property 

loss filmn fire for the year 1941 was 

$305,895.000. 

FIRE HAZARD INCREASES 

The records show that fires ILn, deltrical 

origin throughout the country are 

increasing very rapidy and there is m) 

doubt in my mind, that during this war. 

they will reach a point which will be 

staggering. In ,my opinion tens of thou. 

sands of fires will be caused by the in- 

El-ease in activities, work done by handymen 

o, other inexperienced ind unqualifled 

I.rsons who attempt to nmake additions 

to the existing electrical equipment, 

making repdair, etc., without the prnper 

knowledge or materials. 

Iiiring a meeting of the Electrical 

Comnittue of the N. F. P. A., held in New 

York City, March of this year, Field Engineer 

Tousley stated that ihis record 

showed that over 25 pe, cent of the fires 

which occurred in industrial plants during 

the past 12 months were proved to be 

of electrical origin. Just stop and think 

for a moment what a shut-down of a 

plant means to our government during 

thee times. This is a very high percentage 

when you consider the hundreds 

of causes of fires,. it clearly shows the 

necessity of rigid electrical inspections 

and reiaspections of old installations 

throughout the country, and that the loss 

of life and p 1 rojerty from electrical fires 

is not negligible, and that electrical codes 

and t ards are absolutly neessmary 

at all (i e, 

A replort isst'l hi the ire ciunmis o ner of

puilic press. sta os that there wre 34,280

Tosses were over $12,000,000 and jumpedl to 

more than $18,000,000 in 1020 and by 1922 

hey almost reached $23,000,000. 

In checking the xarious fire reports. I 

noted that in the year 1917, up to and including 

the yenr I 922, fire losses il the City of 

New York Lie rease(d from approxima i ly 

$9.000,000 Lt, approximately $23,000,000. rhi,

year 19133, 

The work the electrical izslretor and his 

rsporm..littiesh< are greater today than eve

AR HAS ONCE AGAIN loosed the 

Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse 

upon the world... fire, famine, 

sword, and pestilence. 

In the last war, the most deadly of 

these was pestilence. And today, in 

Europe and Asia, there is already a wartime 

rise in Tuberculosis ... the dread 

TB that kills more people between 15 

and 45 than any other disease. 

You can help prevent a wartime rise 

of TB in our country - by buying 

Christmas Seals today ... and using 

them every day from now to Christmas. 

They fight Tuberculosis.
