Founders Builded Well
How well the founders of the council 27
years ago bulldod is indicated now by the
principles set up by the early lenders. While
the whole country is discussing
] r ah lm-man-
agement relations and (l.estIliiis of wages
and working collitions, the electrical in-
dustry is still out in fion t notonly in the
practical adjustment of disputes but in the
principles set up. The council re onsidered
the fundamental principles by which the
council guides its proeedingsanOd found no
great occasion to change any of themn. For
example, here is the statemtit of the early
council on wages:
"Wages should be adjustld with due re-
gard to purchasing power of the wage and
to the right of every man to an opportunity
to earl a living, and accumultnte a com-
pitenee; to rrisonable hotur of work and
working conditions; to a decent home. and
to the enjoyment of proper social conditions,
in order to improve the general standard
of citizenship."
While debate grows heated on tI1 question
nent:
'Regularity and continnity of employment
should be soutgh to the fullest ,xtent pos-
sible and should constitute a resporihility
resting alike upon eloIoyers, wage earnersl ,
and] the public."
Continuing the study of thei polaliies, the
council also rei ilrsed this importan state- t
mmt on production:
"Efficient production i coniuncntion with
adequate wages is essentil Ito scctssful
industry. IRestiction of output is ha mful
to the interest of wage earnes , emnployers
and the public and shouhl no bte pimitted.
Industry, efficincy andi binitiave whenlever
found, shouhl b1e.nicouiage d and adeluately
rewarded, whi, imel ,ence anid indifference
should be ondemnied."
to New Booklet To Be Issued
The eoCncil hits old.ere.d the preparatim
of a new bloklet describing the work of the
council. This will be ready about May i.
In Cincinnati the council heard the 16th
and 47th .ass. This dioes ot seem a heavy
load over a period of 27 years, but so potent
is the eouncil.'s inluence that many disputes
that might have given trouble if there were
no council, are setthld. either by the good
offices of the counel or by the sanity and
perseverance of the local disiutantsl before
ever reaching theeounc.i. i, fiet two dis-
putes which were early slated for the Cin-
einiati meeting were settled before the
council convened.
The Ciocimamti Post. an influential paper,
had this to say about the Cincinnati meet-
ing. Although the headline was somewhat
misleading, the story did show strong local
interest.
"The wedding chapl of the Netherland
Plaza was the scene Thursday of arbitra-
tion hearings which may establish a wage-
increase pattern for 250,000 workers in the
electrical construction industry.
"'The abitratilon panel, whose decisions
must be unanimous, is composed of five in-
dustry members and five International
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (AFL)
leaders. Robert MeChesney, of Washington,
president of the National Electrical Con-
tractors' Association, and I)an Tracy, of
Washington, IB3EW president, head the in-
dustry and labor groups.
"The panel heard the petition of 3,000
Louisville electrical construction workers for
a new hourly rate of $1,925, which is 7%

FM know about FM. This double talk
translatedlmeans "Few Men know about
Frequency Modulation.". or the new up-
and-coming type of broadcastting. Of course
FM is old stuff to our radio technicians
and to many of our IBEW members who
keep up with changes and progress in the
technological field, but to some of us. knowl-
edge of FM and what it may mean in radio
broadcasting is new and has opened up a
whole new field of interest.
Frequency modulation first came to the
fore among radio developments of recent
years, a little over a decade ago. Major
Edwin H. Armstrong, professor of electri-
cal engineering at Columbia University.
made all announcement of his invention in
1925 and stated that it would eliminate
static and man-made noises by a system of
frequency modulation ani added that it
would ]?ove useful in etualibl ig a linle-
wide network of television stations.
Experimental Stage
Late in 1939 and early in 1940, demon-
stratiotns were staged and well-known en-
gineers witnessed an experimental station-
relay system involving the Armstrong
method, which sucessfully eliminated tele-
phone land lines asaconnecting links between
radio stations. FM at its debut in 1939 was
hailed as one of the greatest forward strides
in modern radio because as its designer and
promoter predicted, it would outmode the
radio receiver* of that present day, and its
new method woull ntake available a service
on the ultra-high frequency channels which
were comparatively unused.
Now just how does FM differ from AM
or the standard systemn of present-day
broadcasting? FreqIuency modulation dif-
fers from aumplitode modulation in that the
wave frequency broadcast by the improved
method is changed in accordance with the
fluctuations of the voice .ldnoti the inten-
sity of the rwliation, as in anmplitude nodu-
lation broadcasting. Under the new system,
when a pe'son raises or lowers his voice
the freq.uency varies consistently. In the
present type of amplitade modulated broad-
casting the frequency is set but the volume
of the voice inc.reases or decreases dIepend-
ing on inllection of the voice. Elimination

it, is explained simply-the frequeney mod-
ulated receiver automatically rejects a sig-
lalthat is too weak to be iraived satisfac-
torily, such as man-made noises and natural
static noises, but reeives. all waves sent out
from the ultra-high frequency transmitter.
The Inventor Explains
Major Armstrong explained his own sys-
tem thus: "The fundamental principle con-
sists of inducing into the tansmitted wave
a characteristic which does not exist in the
waves produed. by nature. The receiving
system is not iesponsive o waves of naturalf
origin, but only to waves having the special
characteristics."'
Details of his system Major Armstrong
deseribed as: "The ilcoming impulses con-
sist of variations in frequency of the trans-
mitted wave. iixed with it are various dis-
turbances such as sttati tube noises and
man-made static as generated by electrical
devices. in the new system all these currents
are passed through a cu rent-limiting unit
desiged to remove the amplitude varia-
tions. The signal is then led through a selec-
tive circuit which translatis the variations
of frequency into variations in amplitude
from which sound is deirved. That is where
nature. which produces static is foiled. It
calllo.t produce this new type of signal."
lnmnediatdly after these d,.nonstrations
by Major Armstrong, construction of fre-
quency-modulated receiving sets was started
on a commercial basis by some of the ele-
tical companies manufacturing radios and
radio equipment, particularly General Elec-
tric. loweetr, before their acceptance. and
the .cnstruction of FM stations eouid be-
come widespread, the war came along and
such activity, except for continuelexperi-
nentation, was practically dormant
The Fields Are Green
At the present time and all during the
past year since the war has been over. FM
has come rapidly to the fore again and
ails brought with it a whole new field for
IM
radio workers both in the manufacturing
and broadcasting fields. FM and television
certainly make verdant employment fields
for our IBEW members. And a new oppor-
tunity has been given to the people, and
labor particularly, to meet the mighty ty-
coons of the press and the air waves on
equal footing. Now pmactically every fre-
quency in the AM or ceventional broad-
easting hand has been granted to established
radio broadcasting station.. thu. creating
a monopoly due to the scarcity of fre-
quencies. There are some 1200 stations now
owned by these monopolists, and their sta-
tions ovel.ap
.. ausing much trouble for radio
engineersa and a reat deal of disonance
and static for the radio audience. Too, these
1200 stations r.prs ntI a closed door tI
wo, Id-be ailb, entrepr lePlonrs, sinee we may
well say of AM frequencies, "That's all there
is, thereare noIolr.e"
Now FM is thoawing open this closed door
to the ordinary citizens who would, if they
could, broadcast. In the FM development
there is room, for about 4000 new radio sta-
tions. Of cour-se the rich powers that con-
trol AM are anxious to capture the FM
air waves. liwcver ,so IrI, the Federal
Colimmlunicationa Co11nission which reeog-
nies these air waves as the property of all
of the American people, has done a pretty
good job of preventing then, from exploita-
tion by a few powerful concerns.
Your FM Radio
FM is rapidly outmoding our conven-
tional radio sets. Owning a well-made FM
set meo,ars that when you listen to a pro-
gram you hear the program completely de-
void of static even during a severe storm.

GUARANTEED WAGES

NNUAL wage plans have held a focal
ni t, otf nillto an increasing de-
ien i( e el. rsL The question of
guaranteed ealnhlgs is closely intertwined
with problems f <lC Voivs.ion anti the un-
certainties involved in tIisitionL fr-om war

A special group of researclhors was co-
missioned by the Advisory Board of the
Office of War Mobilizatiol arid Reonver,-
sion in the spring of 1945 to unildertake an
investigatiion of the past expelitmIce whith
industry and labor have had with guts-
anteed wage plans and to consider the
feasibility of future development of such
programs in this eolltry a ans aid in st,-
bilizing employment and regularizing pro-
duction.
Workldng under the direction Af Mr.
Murray W. Latimer., the group released a
progress report to the edvisory hoard last
November in the form of a 0(i-puge mim-
eographed document entitled "uaranteed
Wage Study.'

antees and inl assessing the magnitude of

Thetreatise shortly continues, "The guar-
anlteeing of wages becomes an undertaking
with much smaller contingent liabilities in
an economy which has achieved a reasonable
stability than in one ,ubjectto violent fiuc-
tuations. TitItS, in a sense, wage guarantees
become easier to set up as the need for themn,
becomes less obvious. Nevertheless, within
an economy which is striving for stabiliza-
tion, the guarantee of wages can in itself
make a contribution to the achievement of
ih, that stabilization."
A dual purpose stands behind the adop-
Lion of most annual wage and employment
guarantee devices, the researchers found.
'Guaranted wage plans ordinarily have had
, twin bjective: achiement of economies
by the employer; and provision of security
for the worker. The economies

ployer might expeet ate thosewhich fiov

tiat employers must thiniik Lthati the main-
teni.nec of pians i worth while."
Plans Are Increasing
As a matter of fact the survey revealed
a greater number of flans and a far larger
number of workers, ov,'ed by them atpres-
ent than has ever I .tn bidiceted in earlier
studies on thte ,ije t,
"A stndy of the provisions of guaranteed

that such plans can become an important

Walily of plas kas not. . been high. * *- -
The plans seeml o tie whole Li have been
remarkably impelrviuus to leprsions.
"The guarantees offered under the bulk
of the plans are not niggardly. In almost
95 percent the guarantee covers full pay for
the gualantee period; in 65 percent such
full pay runs for 12 months, and in another
18 percent lor- 10 or II monaths. * * It
is these plans which attest the practica-
bility of considering substantial guarantees
of earningr for substantially all employees.'
The 186 operating plans found by the Lat-
liner su-vey cover some 70,000 workers in
over 500 separate establishments. The re-
port recommends that programs of this
nature be extended in such manner as t,
supplement existing unemployment insur-
ance bene its.
Unemployment Insuronce
"Unmlployment ineurance has not pro-
vided the answer to the workers' search
for security," the report notes with regret.
"Unemployment benefits are no substitutes
for pay; they are, on the average, less than
half pay. Although mateially larger now
than a few years ago, they still are in-
sufficient for workers with families. There
are numerous and unfair disqualifications.
The durations of benefits are almost every-
where briefer than is desirable.
"The financing of unemployment insur-
ance adds to economic instability. Unem-
ploymient insurance contribution rates fall
when they ought to rise, that is, when busi-
ness is prosperous. And they must rise at
the times when business is falling away or
has reached low levels."
In addition to suggesting that guaranteed
wage plans be coordinated with the unem-
ployment insurance program, so as to sup-
plement the latter on a voluntary basis.
Mr. Latimer recommends a modification of
corporation income tax laws so as to enable
business concerns to set up wage guarantee
funds as a part of normal businehss expenses,
with a proviso thqt the schemes meet cer-
tain minimum standards for regulating the
size and safeguarding the integrity of the
trust funds.
A final recommendation deals with means
for making more pliable the overtime pay-
ments required under the Fair Labor Stand-
ards Act in the case of concerns operating
under annual or guaranteed employment
systems.

the state gover n.. i for permiss ion and a
license to di thse to liiigs before they hlad the
right lo er'is(L their civil liberties. But if
lah a.rtl lek Ut peitiio, the Governlenl..t
fil I r-edt'es, of their grievances, they would
lirst ha., to ipply for a license, The power
to license is the power to withhold. The
inswer'to that is very !iapie.
We wcant to eblphasi that labor uninrs
ale not eigag'd in anya'tivity for profit,
that We are vol 'tillry orgalzaiotns of
working people who have bhanded ourselves
lerthrl in .lidler to be str.lnger and more
able to gail a ldecent stAt.darld of living for
the workers of this nation. We realize the
weallk..s andI futility of indliviMdul action
in obtairning justice and fair treatment. We
are' i rligious
kp olga
nizations or political
assoiatilons. We are merely groups of bdi-
riduails gathered together for the more ef-
i't'tive eerc"ise of our lawful rights, to
which each Anleriean is entitled.
The sponsors of incorporation legislation
wonuld force every labori lniont to take out a
license or a warrant of authority from the
state to operate as a corporation and submit
to an unwarianted interferenie of our in-
terial organizatior affairs before we could
enjoy certain liberties that belong to every
person in this nation. labor would be sub-
jetted to the power of license and the power
of enrsor'ship The press and the radio have
fought a gallant and dramatri fight that all
of us may enjoy the right to speak or write
what we phase. If these proposed laws were
aimed it the Ifreedom that the press enjoys,
they would be fighting it as hard as we arc
fighting it today.
T'he union han, like anyone eise, does not
object to taxation against his income or his
property. The newspaper editor or the
operator of a radio station or a preacher
does not object to paying his proper share
of the tax burden. But, when you tax what
any of us say or write, we are all being
deprived of liberties. If the lawmakers of
urnation plac onee segment of the popula-
till i, laiur, at the mercy of censorship pow-
ers, trhey will oiis t ertainly place other en-
tel'p,''i0 iIll he SIame libertyless position.

The real point of the relvanit pas: a,; ,
in the White Paper was that for wages to
increane without a parallel increase in pro-
duetion was to ask for tirOle.
Workers Needed Now
Overriding all the con iitiuwr, of which
the IWhite Papertakes accunt is the prob-
lemn, of the shortage of manpower. This
problem, in its turn,. is governed by another
shortage of which insufficient account has
perhaps been taken by the man in the street
-the shortage of time. We want hundreds
of thousands more workers in the produc-
tive industries, and we want them now. In
due time, no doubt, the lack of manpower
will be made up by the vastly improved
mechaniation which will accompany the
long-term schemes of the Government for
economic reconstruction and development.
But thee schemes must themselves lag if
there is any grave deficiency of the man-
power needed for the supply of the basic
material and equipment on which they de-
pend.
Nobody is more deeply concerned in the
solution of these intricate problems than
the trade unionist, who feels himself bound
to do what he can to maintain and protect
standards secured by generations of strug-
gle and self-sacrifice. Those standards de-
pend on the productivity of industry and it
is to that angle especially that the T.LT.C.
has addressed itself in its discussions with
other interests involved.
Do Not Waste People
lin the first place, it is obvicIvy essen-
tihl that the most shall be made of the labor
forces at ou,, disposal. There are, roughly
speaking, two ways of doing this. One way
is to work people as unthrifty people are
apt to work horses: that is to keep them at
it till they drop. That was, for example, the
Bedaux way, the way of exploitation: some
people are still hankering after this or simi-
larly waoteful methods.

U nomic problems by labor organizatimns
-has expanded tremendously during the
last decade. This growth has been marked
by the increasing number of unions which
nmintain specific reseach departments and
by the quantity and quality of their research
activities. The need for and usefulness of
union research in; been acknowledged by
officers of both ]lar and small unions, ind
the thoroughness of sone of the studies has
'onl.a.nlded the respect of employers anlld
government offieials.
"The Directory of Laber Uinions, July,
1945," published by the United States Dc-
partnment of Labor Bureau of Lahbor Sta-
tistics, Industrial Relations Division, lists
201 national and international labor unions.
This directory also lists 66 of these as hav-
ing research directors offices and includes
the names of 60 directors.
This is in addition to the research depart-
ments maintained by the headquarters of the
American Fdterationof Labor and the Con-
gress of Industrial Organizations. A small
but increasing number of state and local
labor bodies have also established separate
offices for economic and statistical research.
Growth of Research
Nelson M oertz, of the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, has aptly summnarized the genesis
and growth of labor research organizations
as follows:
"The quest for information which could
be used by labor organizations in their activ-
ities is virtually as old as the labor move-
ment itself. With the establishment in 1884
of what has now become the Bureau of Labor
Statistics. many unions then in existence
plied the bureau with requests for data. The
bureau in turn sought the coopelratioln of
the unions in its attempt to collect statisticns

Research Units Grow
Rising living costs. variations in wages
between war and non-war industries, and
problems of long hours and hazardous work-
ing conditions during the years of the first
World War forcibly brought home to work-
ers the need for accuriatr information.
"The stresssp factual data, as a basis
for collective bargaining. did not dindimib
with the country's return to peace. In the
railroad industry. for example, the Covern-
mneat established a special railroad labor
board. Hearings before this ageny pusmlly
rcoluired advance preparation in the form
of economic briefs, and decisionrs frelauently
hinged upon the statistical evidence intro-
du.ced ...
"A few unions--such as the International
Ladies Garmient Workers Union--- met the
demand for a statistical approach to, and
economic analysis of, theil problems, by the
creation within their own organizations of
a statistical or research department.
*During the latter part of the 1920's, sta-
ttisical and research departments were
establised by . . . Brotherhood of Railway
Clerks, Brotherhood of Loomnitive Firemen

World Ih, Xi,,is shrinking. Whit hapiiws in one
Trends ollintrI> ) more intorest toayI; to other cmi/u-
trips thani bn arny other time in history. The
Nce ',J*tc Times has i ne a sotnrd reportorial job. It
sent riporters throughout the world to discover the trend
in free enterprise. The picture brought back is inot one
of unmixed optimism. In lit, only two countries in the
world now have a free terprise system-the United
States and Canada. The rest are moving in the direction
of Government controls. The Niw York Times' reporter
reports that Britain's nationalization program has
planned to leax f90 percent of the economic syst!m in
private hands, uti of course hedged about by Govern-
ment restrictions. F-ane has had a mixedl economy
since the end of the xvar. France appears to be reluctant
to eliminate free enterprise. Italy is going nationalistic.
Then, what of Sweden? Sweden is now following a
program of slow lbut iure absorption of the bulk of big
business and industry, Australia, a etmlntry that one
might think would retain (he free enterprise system,
owns and controls ilany major indlusitries. All this has
profound significance to the United States. It is plain
that this nation which has a margin-that is, consider-
able capital and a strong production system-is likely
to continue in the free enterprise coluln. Those who are
pushed into a sub-marginal position are likely to resort
to Government controls. We had this same trend in the
United States when the depression of 1929 flattened the
country. We had to pry ourselves out with strong Fed-
eral action,
The situation also indicates there are a great many
values other than mere income which must be taken into
consideration in any system. The social security system
of the United States must be strengthened and every-
thing possible done to keep up full employment. Other-
wise the present tolerance of free enterprise can quickly
wither, and a new program can quickly be endorsed by
the electorate.
We do not believe that the Congress is acting wisely
in the present hour to preserve the free enterprise sys-
tem. Someone said the other day that Congress has done
everything to bring about a depression. Its attack upon
labor is not one that is conducive to creating good feel-
ing, and good feeling is necessary to the success of any
program. If free enterprise is to nmean only freedom for
big business, and not foralabor too, big business cannot
expect the loyalty of labor.

Growth of Tile growth o[ the American Arbitration
Arbitration Association indicates the widespread in-
terest throutlorlut the world in this tool of
adjustment of disputes. The American Arbitration As-
sociation, founded in 1926, had a modest start in a bor-
rowed office viilita staff of three people. It now occupies
an olri, fnloor in the Time and i.ife Building in Rocke-
felh, CVenter, New York. It has branches in 20 Anieri-
car ieli l and ha. wo:ld-wide affiliations c',,,ring every
/aiin American Republic, Canada. fl, l] Europe,
: it ilain,
(Thina and the Philippiilnes.
Recently this assoaition nImy ;1 itudy of arbitration
41 and came back with tihe rcwt that labor-management
groups are opposed to compulsory arbitration through-
out the world This means that collective bargaining is
the soundcist n!lthod of organization of industry.
Fumbling There is a question frequently on the lips
Joe LBall of Washington citizens these days-What
is it that Joe Ball wants? No one is capable
of answering this question accurately. Mayie Joe Ball
himself can. He seems to have a weii-oiginized cam-
paign to put himself over to the public as the leader of
reaction in this country. He has re'ersed many of his
former positions in order to voice the sentiments of re-
actionary business men. Joe is seldom clear in his own
mind concerning his own so-called principles. He has
said from a radio platform frequetly: "I am trying to
protect the minority"' He of course means that he is
trying to look after the non-union men and the independ-
ent unions in industry. If protecting a minority is a noble
principle, why shouldn't Mr. Ball apply it to the national
economy and try to protect the minority in the country-
namely labor. If lie believes in protecting minorities,
why doesn't he try to protect race minorities, and as well
as labor, groups which seem to be disadvantaged by the
present set-up. He is a great person for rationalizing
his prejudice.
If Joe Ball thinks that he is fooling aniny American
citizens, he is mistaken. They have got his number.
Swing Away One of the public opinion polls indi-
From Reaction cates that the reaction shown in last
November's election has now turned-
that the swing is against conservatives. One very impor-
tant factor in this is the high cost of living. When the Na-
tional Association of Manufacturers and the meat pack-
ers broke OPA, the association thought it timely to place
full-page advertisements in newspapers. These adver-
tisements declared that the benevolent law of supply
and demandl can now go into effect and that prices would
not rise above the OPA levels. That was said less than
a year ago, but prices are on the climb with no indication
that there is any ceiling but the sky. Pork has been called
the poor man's meat, but pork promises to be a dollar a
pound by the summer, Bacon is selling in the stores at
8( cents a pound. Bread has gone up to 17 cents. The
prices of these staples are pressing heavily upon the pop-
ulace. There is already unrest There is much grumbling.
This force is more potent than all the wild propaganda

of trade associations about free enterprise. It will sink
the system if not corrected. How, is it going to be cor-
rected?
State Federal Spenocr Miller. Now Jersly state high-
Set-Up way contidssionir, well known in the
hlabor movement, has writteo an article
for tile Naioorl MMunicipalW lecl' called "Ti', World
Demanids Proof."' Mr. Millier frankly discsesi theall-
important iquestion of relationships of state g. VrnPf-
ments to Federal government. This has been an under-
ground lquestion in the United States for more than 15
years and has always been present in our opinion and
our history. Mr. Miller says:
"That is thile suppoxiion that the closer the govern-
ment is in geograjiiii;al anld physical fact to the people
the ibetter will they understiad it anid the more readily
will they he able to control it. The roublie with this
supposition is that under present conditions it is often
just not so. The national news services, national radio
hook ups and( other mnedia of ciommunicat
i on, enable the
average citizen ito feel that he knows mo1e about candi-
dates for president andIabout great national issues than
he does about state, city and wa ii affTairs.
"In the old days, when it was possihle for the voter to
know personally most of his local functiionaries, when he
met them or their close associates i. his ordinary datily
or weekly roundi. he couid kitiow alnd control the conduct
of locail goverlnment il a annttlenr much itore direct than
his remote control over W~tashiugtto1i. Unforturately. we
have allowed thile neighboihood or communityv basis of
this grass-roots democracy largely to disintegrate while
the national mnarket Cor woiods and ideas lhas alnmost siu-
perseded the local markets for exchange of strictly local
intelligence and ideas.
"Yet, I think it is true there is no substitiute for face-
to-face (Idalings in private or ill public business. If it is
no longer true that people cani ulnderstand their ihcal
governmletnts better than their national government it
ought to be. But it will nlhe itrue again unless we make
a minch Hiore conmcjious effii't thati we do now tro main-
tailmnmeans if communkniation on local problems. We
need everywhee nonpartisan local citizens' organizn-
tions."
Tool Owners One of the slick devices of business to im-
Union pose its pessuire upon Coi(gress and upon
puiilic opilion is seen, in the recent o'gan-
izatilon of thle fool Owners Union. The very phrase "un-
ion" is misliading. because it is not a Union in the sense
that lahor uniolns are ulis1. We ei)e]ve this is a con-
scious choice of wordils to mislad. If you could call it the
"Tool Owners League" or the "T'oo OwOners Assocination"
the amligity wouldhi corrcetoed. Late in February, tihe
Tool Ownn(rs Union was Idenied a petiiion to operate in
New York Stlat. The Department of Labor in New York
consideredl the pWlitioti land its denital important enough
to issue a 16-pagt olpinll ibi('ticg flip e'>ganlizatimi's
structure and ptenti moti es., Tlhe Boarid olf Stand-
ards andl Apeals discired that the orgalnization's
charter ]imtled final authority to ihree founders. The
opilionll said:
"No more fascistic ormaizaition, with all the poten-
tinlities for undednocrm tic action and danger to our way
of life, has yet conme hefre the official attention of this
board."
It is significant that the Tool Owners Union is a cor-
poratl41 incorioratored unider llth laws of Delaware-the
haven of corporations. It appears to lie a straight out-
and-out iunion-busting group with plenty of money be-
hind it.
World The United States is suffering from a disease
Disease -namely, the falling off of real wages and the
sharp rise in prices. This disease is not preva-
leilt merely in the United StaIs, aIs a recent study from
the ILO indicates. Real wag. havlie fallen in Denmark,
Australia, Canada, Chile. Bulgaria,. Palestine, Great Brit-
ain and Northern Ireland.
Figures compiled for the forthcoming issue of the In-
ternational labor Review, monthly publication of the
ILO0, show that hiourly money earnings-the rate deter-
mining the worker's pay cheek-have increased 80 per-
cent in the United States, while real wages have risen
only 27 percent over the corresponding period.
The figures for DIennark ire similar. A 75 percent
increase ill hourly money wages tookl place from 1937
through March, 1946, but this rise dlid not match the
rise ill living costs, and real wages in consequence in-
creasedI only I I percent.
Hou rlyi earnings in Great Br;taiin and No rthern Ire-
land increased 77 percent between Octber, 1938. and
January, 1946, whereas the actual purchasing power of
wages illcreased 36 percent during the sante period.
In France, male workers, mainily skilled, earnied 3!i2
times more per hour in I'Pus in March, 1946. than in
1937, but real wages-or actual piurchasing power de-
creased to 64it percent of what Ihey were in 1937. Weekly
monrey wages in French inllusltry for men atli womeli in
March, 1946, jiumped to 512 times miore th an in 1937,
while actual purchasing power froLm the woeekly pay cheek
was 84 percent of 1937.
Ferment II. M. Monahah, an old-time member of this
organization, has always tdone good work in
helping to shape public ojiidion in Virginia He recently
addressed a letter to The Richmnnd Times )Dispaerhwhich
was refused. In this letter MrI. uMonahan pointed out that
Governor Tuck minghi go down in history as the governor
who blazed the way for stale ownership of private busi-
ness. Ie said:
"After iall, control goes with owner ship, which is the
very basis of our private eltelrp]rise sysnem aind if we
want to play the game fal ly let us either own and con-
troli or let the present owners control.i.There is entirely too
much of wanting to control tile actions of people and their
businesses andl if our free enterprise system is to continue,
then they must be free to conduct iheir business as they
see fit. Then, it the public is not satisfie withll their serv-
ices,. let them take over the enterprise andi pay the owners
for their property, the amount lo be paid to be determined
by the taxable value upon which they contributed to the
common good."

In conclusion Mr. Teper comments that
though trade union research departments
are created in response to definite needs,
it takes some time before they become fully
integrated into the life of the organization,
this being especially true of a department
set-up in an old-established union. He adds
that a research department is able to gauge
its own success by the growth in the flow
of inquiries received or assignments turned
over to it. And ultimately, if the depart-
ment has done its work well, there is hardly
a phase of union activity in which it is not
at one time or another involved. In our
later examination of union research periodi-
cals we shall see how other unions too have
utilized their research departments for a
wide variety of tasks, including many tasks
long ago undertaken by ILGWU's research
department.

The Journal of ELECTRICAL WORKERS and Operators
Another view of union research is expounded
[by Soloont Barkin, research lirector of the
Textile Workers Union of Anirilca. CO, who
writes that, "Research i, a necessary tool of
contemnprary unionisn. Effective operation of
a moden tradi union demands the use of tech-
nicians andi personnel special trained in eco-
nomics, nlanagement, engineering, publicity and
I&w... d' n
He says that among the aims of unionism are
(1) coring with giant impersonal corporations,
(2) enlisting all workers. (3) becoming as dy-
namic and mobile as inrdustry, (4) coupling eco-
nomic action with political action, and 5) as-
suming industrial IedIerehip in order to secure
the right to partuipaate in the direction of in
dustry.
Mr. Barkiin finds that in forwarding the aims
of industrial unionism the research department.
stafferd by economists and "socially minded'"
engineers, acts as adviser to union officers.
Also the department assembles data about (1)
1he financial and corporate structure and per-
sonnel practices of each company in the indus-
try, (2) wages and labor costs throughout the
industry, (3) working conditions and technologi-
cal practices of the industry, and (4} living
conditions and social mores of workers of the
industry.
The Textile Workers Union's research activ-
ities often take the form of economic surveys,
which furnish the statistical bases and tools for
organizing camipaigns and collective bargaining
negotiations. (In this connection, I realla con-
versation with Herbert Woods. research director
of the Operating Engineers, on March 16, 1946,
in which he told ie that his department was
then studying problems relating to the organ-
ization of operating and stationary engineers.)
The Textile Union undertakes analyses of unit
eosts in order to determine what wages com-
panics in the industry can pay. It makes studies
o0 technological changes and plant noderniza-
tion programs, which, according to Mr. Barkin,
are often superior to those made by private
consulting engineers. Consulting engineers are
sometimes employed, however, to analyze com-
pany production and cost figures.
The research department also supplies data
for arbitrations and adjustment of grievances.
It trains and supplies statistics to organiizrs,
prepares legislative action programs, exchanges
data with government agencies, and carries on
puiblic relations and educational work.
I quote Mr. Barkin's concluding sentences:
"... industrial relations should be rational-
ized . . . the problems of management and labor
should be resolved by joint study of the relevant
fasts involved in each dispute.
"The stability of industry in which collective
bargaining has become an established fact re
flects the efforts to rationalize industrial rela-
tions. The research departments of modern trade
unions are aiding unions in finding the facts,
in formulating and documenting their state-
ments, in developing and reviewing their pol-
iies and practices, in increasing their effec-
tivene.s in dealing with many current eonomic.
industrial and managerial problems, and in
establishing more rational industrial relations
and more effective adniinistration of labor con-
tracts and labor law.2t
Although the precise aims and the exact na-
ture of the workings of the research oirces of
industrial unions appear somewhat unclear, Mr.
Barkin, I believe, has given us a few elues in
his. description of a typical industrial union's
research department.
Whereas the ILGWU research department
is concerned mainly with coilecting facts help-
ful to union officials in collective bargaining
within a complex network of varied trades and
highly competitive producers, Mr. Barkin's re-
search department is. although it pays lip-
service to the ideals of orthodox trade unionism,
an adjunct of the dynamic, constantly expanding

labor giant. Rather tha collect by painful proc-
ess,. statistics utterly proving labor's case, in-
dustrial union research would rather use facts
as a bludgeon, swingnrg now upon management,
now upon Government, and now on the newly
orgaized masses of workers,. It facts, even
though they be complete and exact, are all too
often at the service of the a ptriori aims of
dynamic, union philosophy-
(To be continued)
RADIO HEATING
(Continued irom page 1s)
Localized hardening or annealing of small
parts is also accomplished easily by indue-
tion heating.
Finally, induction heating lends itself
readily to the "production line" method of
manufacture. There are many applications,
like the brazing operation. in which parts
to be heated can he carried through the
inductor coils onil conveyor belts or other
feeding devices. Control of time and tem-
perature is automatic; reltively unskilled
labor can be taught to dlo various jobs better
and more rapidly than they were done by
highly skilled men under former methods.
Dielectric heating, which got off to a
slower start, is now running a close second
to induction heating in the radio frequency
field. Though the generating equipment for
this type of heating is essentially the same
as for induction heating, it poses some more
difficult problems. We are no longer dealing
with frequencies of several hundred thou-
sand cycles a second, but with millions of
cycles. Before the war, such frequencies
would have been out of the question for
industrial use, but the accelerated pace of
wartime developments in short wave radio
makes them practicable today.
The method of applying this very high
frequency power is based on the principle
of the condenser or, more properly, the
capacitor. Broadly speaking, any pair of
conductors separated by an insulating ma-
terial constitutes a capacitor. In dielectric
heating, the conductors are a pair of metal
plates called electrodes; the piece to be
heated--which must be a material which is
normally an insulator-is placed between
them.
In radio and power work, capacitors have
a number of functions, but the function of
this capacitor is based on a characteristic
which is definitely undesirable in other ap-
plications. That is the tendency of the in-
sulating substance or dielectric to become
hot when an alternating electric potential
is applied to the electrodes.
Here, figuratively speaking, is what hap-
pens in a microscopically small section of
the material being heated when a rapidly
alternating voltage is applied to the ele-
trodes. Because of the electrical charges
within the molecules the rapid changes of
polarity on the electrodes tend to make the
molecules vibrate. The more rapid the re-
versal-that is, the greater the frequency-
the more rapid is the vibration. This mole-
cular motion produces heat.
One noteworthy characteristic of dielec-
tric heating is the uniformity of molecular
agitation throughout the dielectric. Mole-
cules in the middle of the workpiece are
shaken back and forth by the alternating
field just as hard and just as fast as they
are anywhere else. Hence, there is no over-
heating at the surface and no underheating
at the center.
The amount of heat procured by this
molecular vibration is proportional to the
APRIL, 1941
frequency, since this determines the number
of vibrations per unit of time; to the square
of the applied voltage, since this voltage
determines the amplitude of the vibrations;
and to the "loss factor," which ix a way of
expressing the fact that different materials
have naturally different rates of heating.
The speed, convenience, and uniformity
of dieleetrie heating have led to its use in
such applications as the prelleatine of plas-
tic preforms before moidillS, where it has
resulted in reducing molding time, improving
the finished product, and cutting mold costs.
The marvelous new plywoods, we hear so
much about are made possible by synthetic
binders. These, however, are thermo-setting.
which means that they must be heated after
application. When older methods of curing
by means of steam heated plates Wee used,
the thickest plywood that could economically
be made with these bindlers was about one
inch. With dielectric heating. however, thick-
ness doesn't matter, since heat is gem ,rated
within the material itself and does not have
to seep in from tile ;urface. Conscquen.ly
plywoods can now be niaie with phno..ie
resin adhesive comprising as many as 148
layers of birch veneer and m.easuing over
a foot thick. Multi-layer plywoods cured
dielectrically have demonstrated a tensile
strength of 15.000 pounds per square inch
but are only half the weight of aluminum.
Other applicat.ons in which dielectric
heating has demonstrated its value are tex-
tile drying and twist setting, the curing
and drying of rubber, bonding of laminated
plastics and wood. thawing of frozen foods
-and tile list is still growing.
It should be noted that none of these

FM OPENS DOOR
IContinued from paTo 127)
You get no interference from other stations
and there is no fading. A tiable radio for
both AM and FM receiving should run about
$75.00 in price.
Now what is more pamazing. is that there
are still more than 3000 FM frl-equencies
waiting to be assigned. liowryer, they are
going fast. The FCC has annunced theat
probably 700 FM stations will be on the air
by the end of 1947.
Labor should ertainly get busy and ac-
quire some of these frequencies for its own.
Organized labor is aware of the potential-
ities of FM stations, as the percentage of
labor organizations that have applied for
frequencies has proved. It is a small per-
centage it is truehe n compare d to the
percentage grabbed off by broadcasters al-
ready engaged in AM broadcasting. andl the
press, which two make up the bulk of FM
licensees, but it is labor's start in the right
direction.
Breaking into broadcasting in the FM
field is relatively easy compared to breaking
into some other established businesses. An
FM station could be put ol the air, in a
medium-sized community by an enterprising
group of workers, for an am.ount somewhere
between $18,000 and $25,000. Their enter-
163
prise would probably be eneouraged by the
townspeople, glad of the prestige brought to
their city and anxious for new business and
new entertainment in their eommunity. and
the local merchants would eertainiy welcome
any competition which wouldilp to cut the
high cost of advertising herefore. tilhe
seling of air time would be too difficult
fr any ambitious group f.ar-sighted pe-
pIe.

slightly from 1944 to 1946. Only 11 of the
44 would have been defeibtid oven if their
1944 supporters had all goiie to the polls
in 1946.
The interpretation of the result is plain.
In the first place, most of the talk about
the country's ituning against liberalism is
contrary to fact-twice as many liberal Con-
gressmen we relected in 1946 as were
re
defeated.
In the second place, the losses that the
liberals did suffer in the 1946 election were
chiefly due to apathy and not to reaction.
The liberals lost but their opponents did
not gain.
Liberalism can profit from its 1946 losses,
not by trying to win back lost supporters
who have become supporters of reaction-
there are very few such people, only enough
to have caused the defeat of 11 out of 88
liberal Congressmen. Liberalism can profit
from its 1946 losses by adopting a program
that will arouse those supporters-large
enough in number to have caused the de-
feats of 33 out of 88 liberal Congressmen--
who have been too apathetic towards tilhe
present liberal program to bother to go to
the polls and vote.

which would have restricted a mechanics

your car to a garage and got an eatinate if $75
on a job, the garage man could not later present
you with a bill for $I175 and get a mechanic's
lien for the additional $100.
To most people it looked like a sound bill. It
still looks that way.
But Representative Williamson unearthed the
fact that there were some shakedown tactics
behind it.
Representative Williamson is, you must re-
call, excultive secretary of thile Automobile

The bill by iohn J. Bell to rgulate picketing
does a rather remarkable job. but it iq t1ill a
little short of the OlDaniel law, under which a
man nay be selntneei to two yedlrs in pri-onl
for takll, partf in a scufle.
And A. I. of L. men have been actually sen-
tented iader that law. although so far C. I. 0.
men have escapld its drastic terms.
Representative John dBell is from luero,
Is a lawyer.
lndIr the terms of this bill it would be
illegal for more than two pickets to enJahe in
any for,, of picketing within 300 feet of a plant
which is struck.
The bill also makes it illegal for additinaul
pickets to be within 3i0( feet of the two pickets
who may legally station themselve. near the
plant.
It also makes it illeal to prohibit flee ill-
gress or egress from any phnlirt ]ei,dg p;leketed,
something which Is well taken care of in the
laws as they now exist.
This bill has some provisions in it which are
fantllti, or amusing, dlepenling on the point of
view.
For lostance, it says, "It shall he unli.vful for
any perseon, uingly or in concert with others, lto
Mlda'rsp i'i, or a.dvrtise the continued ex-
istenb o of picketi'g. actual or cnstructive, at
any point or diretied aaindst any premises
after a court of eom'ieai t jurisdiction has n-
joined and restrained the corainaulinc of such
piclkelin litsaid point or premises."
If this palagraph is to beI interpreted literally,
anid lawyers have a habit of insistil.s on such
interrarqatior
l then it bmn es
illegal for a
newspaper to mention the fact that there is
picketiig at sarin al, srih a dlae if a court

tuliedl up with a bill daeining the legal respon-

conplote manicure, filing your nails in soft
ovals--avoiding pointed tips and likewise
avoiding over-long nails which resemble
nothing so nluch as the "claws" the old
Chinese used to effect. Don't ever let the
polish just wear off your nails so that they
acquire that "blood on the moon" look. When
the polish has chipped beyond repair that
a little lab on the tips can give it, remove
it. Remenber. too, that unpolished nails or
those with only lear polish on them can
look very white and delicate with "nail
white" appied under their tips. And these
are oh so ieasy to care for.
So much for your body grooming Of
course the daily bath goes without saying
Use your most fragrant soaps and bath
powders and remember-oh remember
your daily deodorant. You must keep fresh
and dainty.
And what about wardrobe grooming?
Thee's a sign in a tailor's shop in Wash-
ington. U. C., that says "It's not the size of
your wardrobe but the shape it's in that
eunts." Clean and press or have it done
often. Keep the sewing basket handy and
mend little rips and tears and keep buttons
and snaps in order. Act as if you never
heard of that invention known as the safety
pin. Have a good elothes brush and a good
shoe brush and don't be afraid to use them.
Keep your white things white--collar, cuffs.
