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,
coming down to bus tops a d a king
for the night bus to carry thein to the
plant. These quiet, poised figures drama-
tilze, as well as anything, the substantial.
eager spirit with which the workers in
the maiacle shipya'ds of the Kaiser C(om-
pany pursue the 365-day schedule to turn
out ships at terrific rate.

All great ideas, whether they be in, pro-

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 organiza-

yards become communities
with common interest in pro-
duction and war's success,
shared by all
ways, ready to be launched into the wait-
ing 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 animpor-tant enter-
prise. 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 Corn-
pany 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 indus-
trial 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 img cities onl the West (Cuast
and also raising new problems for unions.

with the shipyards, has now reahed the
stupendous figure of fi0,000 men.bership.
The inside local union of the lnterna-
tional Brotherhoofd of Electrical Workers
in Portland has 6,(00 members and ex-
pects 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 employ-
ment of women has presented new prob-
lems not only in personnel but in union
Lmanagement. We may say here that fore-
litcn 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 head-
ed 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 aDooprative
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 Pa-
cific 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

Oakland. A street paving, rock, gravel

carries on these activities, and also has
become the guiding company for the lai-
ified Kaiserinterests which include oiw-
ership or part interest il chemical, ce-
,ent, shipbuilding, steel, niceile tool,
cargo ship engine, heavy construction,
and other enterprises. MT, Kaiser is ptes-
ideal of the Henry J. Kaiser Co.. which

The new iron ani steel eterprise at Fen-
tans is a project of this company. The
three shipyards are owned by U. S. Mari-
time 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 Per-
umn.nte Metals Corp. This company op-
elates Richmond shipbuilding yards No.
I and No. 2 and owns the magn.esium
plant at Permanente, Calif. Incidentally.
the magnesium plant is the only uncer-
taiu 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 maRg-
euam 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 ful-
filled. 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.-

is the company which operates the long-
est conveyor ever built Oro miles long)
over which gravel for the darn flows in an
endless stream from the beds to the site.

-This company completed Grand Coulee
Dam. This dar, together with Bonneville,
is playing all important part in the lin-
tirnai defense effort by furnishing power

There are many other Kaiser interests.
but the foregoing are the main ones. Mr.
Kaiser is interested in the Joshua Hendy Larry E. Dellows, Chief Electrical Engineer

ard-breaking time, and also licensee of BROTHERHOOD ON JOB
Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing At one Kaiser shipyard the 600 elee-
trical workers on the job were under the
direct control of J. W. Seatbol, a membe,
of the international Brotherhood of Elec-
trical Workers since 1909. Seatrld is an
enthusiastic technician deeply iteb.rested
in all minor and major problems of ele-
tricity. 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,-
telishlwe 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 flood-
water 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 elec-
trical 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

Catwnea COOPERATION
*i/at o4d $90
El.i S. BEVATIN) fN orm psident
of the Scott ih Trades Union Coun-
N oil and nowthe president of the Brit-
ish 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 co-
operative organizations in Scotland are
more than 60 per cent of all the people
of Scotland. The British Cooperative Con-
gress represents a majority of the people
in all the British Isles and now that co-
operatives and tries unions ae asso-
dated 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 coopera-
tive 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 uf various kinds, the largest furniure
we are determined to have our place at
the peace conference and to make it
known to the world that we are deter- those presumably great business minds
mined to have another kind of a world
and that there shall be no more war."
Beaton was asked why he had confi-
dence that the workers in the British Isles
would be any more effective at the peace
conference and in post war planning than cieties,
they were in the past. He was reminded
that organized workers had made many
speeches and declarations and had un-
doubtedly tried to express their will be- and
fore but that for some reason they had
not succeeded.
"This time it is different," he said. "We
have organized the National Council of
Labor. It represents the trades unions or-
ganizations, the cooperatives and the
members of the Labour Party. We confer
and try to reah an understanding of what
is most necessary and where we can agree,
we go forward. We preserive our auton-

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

three catgoiles: ( I) old age, when physi-
cal 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

that the prospect of omniercially ex

which should be studied by every electri-

pliances is the subjeet of this course.
Those c'nveniences the Aameican house-

for the duration, because they are now al-

Also, there may be a shortage of elec-
triM 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 break-
dow.s will be avoided, also the fire haz-
ards 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.

formed by handy men. jacks-of-all-

The work should be installed in ac-
cordanmce ith tested, provei andd

ever, during these time, there is an
exceptional upheaval by those who
are, taking advantage of the war and
attempting to tear down the mini-
mumll~l requirements far below the
factor of safety.

APPRENTICESHIP Stwdad&
N the September JOURNAL we spoke of
"making America the arsenal of de-
mocracy," 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 ap-
prenticeship program anti of the appren-
ticeship 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 in-
side locals of the Brotherhood. Now has
come to our attention a copy of the up-
prenticeship 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

The Journal of ELECTRICAL WORKERS and Operalors
Texarkana,
Local Union No. 386, is fore-
most 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, rep-
resented 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 ac-
curacy 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 Texar-
kana electrical workers' apprenticeship
standards. They conform very closely to
the National Standards for the Electrical
Construction Industry formulated by the
National Electrical Contractors Asseils-
tion and the International Brotherhood
of Electrica Workers in cooperatio with
the Federal Committee on Apprentice-
ship. The two principal differences be-
tween t respective he standards a. in the
age grou]p requiLremnenit for applieants
aid the rate of pay. RIegading the for-
mer, the age group as set up in the na-
staandards includes young men from
tional
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 quot-
ed 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 pre-
scribed to accompany it differ someWhat
because of the classification to which eaeh
group belongs. The Texarkana linemnu
apprentice has a well-planned, compre-
hensie cour.se of work and study set up
for him-one that truly qualifies hi. asa
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 employ-
ient. 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 mate-
rial, as is necessary to develop a practical
and skilled mechanic versed in the theory
and pIratice of the trade.
WIDE RANGE OF EXPERIENCE
Sonic of the major divisions of the
trade in which the apprentice receives
work experience are as follows: Pernia-
nent and temporary construction, includ-
ing 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. Pow-
er takes in cable, conduit, Coltrol, fuse
center, raceway and wire work. Blocks,
busses and miscellaneous grounding are
included under the division, safety. Sub-
station division covers air breakers, oil
circuit breakers, tranf.otrmers and mis-
eellancous, and under switchboard con.ies
erecting, setting and connerting, circuit
breaker, instrument, relay and miscel-
laneous wiring, also instrun.ent, trans-
former and miscellaneous, metering and
testing work.
The second main division in this schld-
ule of apprentice work is mintenance-
permanent 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 per-
manent and temporary telephone work,

OTHER HAZARDS OF JOB

Last year in the 1940 sureve, the sta-
l for deaths fIom heart trouble and
,sties
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 dis-
cites 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 threetimes as high.
The electrical inlustry is definitely a
hazardous one--surely the most hazard-

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 democ-
racy, to build up huge business or-
ganizations and to make huge fortunes, and at the
same time, promulgate a philosophy that is anti-
democratic. We have had such business men's organi-
zations 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 at-
tracted 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 Sat-
urday Evening Post shouts that we have gone totadi-
tarian. 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 de-
fenses? There is such a freedom. Economic freedom.
The Journal of ELECTRICAL WORKERS and Operalors 1
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 free-
dotn 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 edi-
torial, 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 per-
raded with the idea that it is exceptional men in in-
dustry 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 manu-
factures most of its own economic problems by the
simple method of periodically penalizing or destroy-
ing 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 rob-
bers 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 free-
dom; we all want free enterprise, But how much free-
dom did the American worker have in 1928 when he
was not allowed to organize, to express himself in in-
dustry, 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 enter-
prnse-controlled by rich men for their own advance-
ment 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 associa-
tion, self-organization, and designation of representa-
tives 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-
NOVEMBER, 1942
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 coop-
erate in defense and war programs.
They do not play upi disinterested acts on the part of
labor unions to forward the programs. Downl at Leon-
ardtown, 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 serv-
ices 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 pleas-
ant, decent and dignified.
That way of life to the average man is made up of
many small things, which, grouped together, com-
prise 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' pri-
vacy, 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 sym-
bols 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 evi-
dence of their regal position.
Perhaps nothing, therefore, i*ndicats Ihe extent of
the paroxysm of change which is shaking this planet
more than the lowered position of these precious met-
als. Gold production in the United States has been halt-
649
ed 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 be-
come 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 pro-
gram in the country is endangered, they would not
believe it, so assured has lahor been that this neces-
sary 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 fun-
dainental 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 experi-
ence rating is a narrow one, basing social security
upon the plant or the industry, instead of upon the na-
tion 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 opposi-
tion 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 democ-
racy 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 in-
efficient to have 51 instead of one job insurance pro-
gramn, and the workers lose thereby.

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 in-
conies 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 patri-
ftie 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 one-
cenit 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

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

slip, but I have no way of identifyinrg achi
item?" You can d. it if yon will take tihe

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 ,,i-

The California State Association of Elec-
trical Workers recently convened in Long
Beach for a two-day session preceding the
State Federation of Labor meeting. About

that each group suppress many of its ordinary
activities while the internal struggle of eco-
nomie 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-grab-
bing policy has done more to handicap the
national war effort than all the labor diffi-
culties 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

p1roduction of war materials.

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 shor-
sighted 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,

Editor:
When this article appears in the November
isue Thanksgiving will just about be a
memory. It's a day we here in Cincinnati
celebrate with a real reson this year, being
privileged to have been born in the United
States of Anerica, with all of its rights and
liberties.
We here in Cincinnati are busy and are
hoping to continue so for quite a while. D.n-
ing the month of October we had the pleas-
ure of having home with us on furlough
George Kreidler, Jr., Milton Weisenborn, Jr.,
and iobert Donaldson. son of James Donald-
son. All three of these men are in the Navy
Editor:
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 in-
terest. 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 sym-
pathy, for Otto Bad Ilany friends in Local
245 and will be sorely missed.
The St. Vineout's Hospital seems to be a
popular mieeting place for the Edison em-
ployees lately. Carl French, George Mitchell
anid Pete Ev>aneff staged a reunion there re-
cently and we hope that by the time this
reaches print they will again be on the well
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
in the Air Force.
The labor unions are now on aspot as never
before, Even the War Chest fiaacing is in
their lap. We must now come across with the
Do, Ri. Mi, or go across with the A. E. F, or
pipe down.,

Editor:
The international executive council of the
Brotherhood was tendered a dinner by the
oficers and members f Local Unair,,, 353 and
among many other things had tle oppor
tuiity of meetitn men who had never lost
ant argument, Inet, who never had an argu-
ment and, at no extra cost, they also
met our
expansive vice president who tells me he still
has writer cramp from simng atrograIphs
for the visitors.
But, joking aside, it was a privilege and a
)leasure to meet the men who have guided
the policies and affairs of the Brotherhood
so well that electrical workers in Building
Trades Coujieils atid Trades and Labor
Councils all over the North Am..ericani COnti-
nent are looked ip to rather than down to.
President Ed Brown practically went duck
hunting; minor details such as having no gun.,
no ammu~inition and. the ducks having decided
not to come south until after the A. F. of L.
conoelt ion ws over and. pressure of Brother-
hood business overcome; President Ed finall
cornered a canvasback at the International
Care where he proeeded to give it a thor-
outh going over.
Another stag party was held at the Arion
Hotel by the regular attenders at our jeet-
iugs plus some social mebers. It is an ex
pensie way of bringing them out, but, may-
be it's worth it.
The Selective Ser.iee Act is still shooting
out decisions and the directors in charge of
its enforcement are mounting their horses and
riding off in all directions giving instructions
and Iliaking decisions nobody, including them-
selves, can understand. It behooves ne to
wait until the dust dies down before I at-
tempt to report on it in our publication.
The Ontario Pro'incial Council held it,
regularquarterly meeting in London as
guests of Local 120. Delegate, fromH anilton,
Thoroid, Kitchener, Windsor. London., To-
ronto antd R. R. Xo. 3. attended and received
valuable advice frnom Brothers E. lngles and

The exchange of ideas and opinions at these
meetings will in time help the affiliated
organiGations to get a better grasp of gov-
ernmten t legislation.

bets and you will never guess what he de
cided upon. It will be kl{owi, as the FourIth

know how he does it. lie must use mirrors.
By the size of some of he pictures sent in
by lembers in the armed forces they must
hove thought we wanted to put them in a
locket next to our hearts rather than in a
show window next to a hockey rink.
Brother Ingles and Brother Tracy along
with Brother Shaw and yours truly will
journey to the wilds .f Osh.w. to install a
local union there on blonday, October 26.

Local tnion 369 is very proud, and the ones
who created he idea of these service pins
should be complimented very highly. Our in-
tentions are that each yeor these pins will
be given out as the members increase in their
setvice. A lot of these meibers would have
had ,orestanding but years ago there seems
to hove been a mistake made by one of our
financial secretaries by not sending in the
proper per capita tax, and those members
who were affected did not learn of their stand-
ing being lost until some later date-

W AR HAS ONCE AGAIN loosed the
Four Horsemen of the Apoca-
lypse 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 war-
time 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.
