VOL. XLIV
WASHINGTON, D. C., MARCH, 1945

All4"
Dear Boss:
I haven't written you many letters lately. One
reason, I take it, is the fact that the war has taught
all of us something of the value of cooperation.
Betterl relations exist between labor and management. Indeed, there appears to be real opportunity
for union-management cooperation to become the
rule rather than the exception.
On the other hand, disquieting reports reach us.
As the newspaper boys say, these come from unimpeachable sources. While many important employers are sincerely and patiently attempting to
usher in a regime of cooperation, other employers
are just as quietly and patiently blueprinting an
all-out open shop drive against operating unions.
Unimpeachable reports have reached me from two
industries that these drives (in the traditional
spirit of the class-war) have been carefully
plotted, and are ready to explode, as soon as the
peace comes.
Boss, this is nothing short of treason to the republic, and let me tell you why.
If we get any kind of prosperity after the war,
we will get it only with teamplay. There is opportunity to pass from war to peace without too much
dislocation. There is a chance to put to use the 150
to 200 billions of dollars in savings; there is a
chance to get production of consumers' goods
moving; there is a chance to transfer wartime
workers and returned soldiers to peacetime jobs;
there is a chance to balance private enterprise and
public works equably; there is a chance to boost the
national income from the wartime level of 148
billion to a peacetime level of 185 billion; there is
a chance to head off an after-war slump; but these
chances depend on teamplay, cooperation; antisocial employers can not rock the boat. Boat-rockers
may wreck the ship of state.
Look back with me at what happened at the
close of the First World War. Powerful employers
in 1921 launched a sweeping anti-union drive. It
was carefully planned, highly financed. Newspapers boomed broadsides against labor. Courts
issued injunctions. The drive was successful. It did
not break the unions, but it deflated them. And it
NO. 3

dropped wages far below prosperity levels. War
on wages played an important part in subsequent
events. It is not too much to say that the great crash
of 1929 was the result of the open shop drive of
1921.
Wages are a method of distributing income. If
the wage earner-the consumer-does not receive
enough in his pay envelope to buy back goods produced, business is thrown out of balance and recession sets in. The bosses between the years 1921
and 1929 took an unconscionably large share of
national income in profits, wasted it in stock exchange orgies, or invested it abroad, with the wellknown result.
The Committee on Economic Developmentyour committee, boss-has itself seen this necessity
for after the war. The C. E. D. has set the postwar
job level at approximately 55 million men-about
10 million more than were employed in 1939. But
whether the United States finds employment for
55 or for 60 million men, after the war, the same
methods must be put into operation-team play
and cooperation. The same readjustments must be
made. Wages must go up, not down, so that goods
produced, can be purchased. The low-paid segments
of the population must be retrieved, and made
prosperous. Boss, the truth is, this is the only way
to save the American system. It cannot be saved by
internal squabbles.
If bosses in 1945 or 1946 can follow this vicious
old pattern again, the United States will be headed
for another crash. Nothing can prevent it. Nothing.
This is why, boss, I say that an open-shop drive
after the war is nothing short of treason.
It is doubtful if our country can stand another
crash, and another depression like that of 19291933. It may finish us off. It may do the job on us
that the Nazis hoped to do, and could not.
Radicals say: "Don't stop this prospective
open-shop drive. Let the damn fools do their worst.
Let the crash come, and then we'll get complete
state control."
Boss, I don't want this. I want democracy. I
think you do too. If you do, don't rock the boat.

This prio.ess is well illustrated by the
course of the full employment.

through CongrESS throughout the last 10
years. Agitation for full employment
eally
began in the great depression, 1933, anti
tuit~hlutNI
ulnder surface throughout many
y.ars, with the application of many minds
upon the subject.
Bill Is Landmark
A bill known as the Full Employment Act
of 1945 has been
introduced
into the Senate
by Senator James E. Murray. This bill
surely represents a landmark in American
history. It is not long, declares a great
policy, and provides for constant surveillance of the program by a Senate committee.
It should be of great interest to labor inasmuch as labor has been in the thick if such
legislation for more than a generation,. Labor
has always stood for wiping nut the husinoss cycle and for continuous and steady
employment. Labor's high wage theory,
strongly pushed in the 1920's, certainly has
played a great part in all the legislation
that has appeared in the direction of stabilizing the econonmy.
Senator Murray is chairman of the suboroimitee of the Committee on Military Affairs. This subcommittee is caled War Contract Subcommittee and has upon it, in addition to Senator Murray, Harry S. Truman,
now Vice President, and Chapman Revel.comlb of West Virginia. The committee says
this about its bill:
Threat of Postwar Unemployment
During the var, we have transformed our
¢conomy into an economic skyscraper of
breath-taking magnitude.
At preiseit our
economy is producing goods and services at
the rate of $196,000,000,000 a year. This
compares with a gross national product of
around $99,Ofi00000,000-,ronly about half
the size-in 1929.'
Aolost half of the framework supporting
this giant stricture consists of war contimcts. When war contracts are withdrawn,
the danger is that the entire edifice will
topple over.
In considering the magnitude of this
problem, we must remember that we have
reached the present unprecedented level of
production without the serlices of the more
than 11,000,000 men and women in the Army
and Navy. When the war is over, these
people will want jobs. Moreover, during the
war almost 7,000,000 individuals have beei
added lu
hllecivilian labor trce
. A large
proportion of these, particularly women, will
insist upon their rights to continued enployment.
In lM, prices in general averaged about the

Murray bill crystallizes public opinion
of last five years in notable document. Labor greatly involved
Unless an economic substitute is fouud for
war coltracts, mass unemployment will be-
comlie a serious threat and the nmber of
unemployed ,ne, and woen, i fins country
could easily surpass nnything that was
dreamed of during the last, deprmssion.
Existing Legislation Inadequate
At various tImes one or anthear of the
demobilization statutes have ben iscu.,sed
as though they represented a significant approach to the problems of postwar unemployment. Before passage of the Coontrac.t
Settlement Act, for example, many mianufacturers talked as though all they needd to
assure a high level of postwar production
was the quick settlement of their termination claims. In the same fashion, the coordination of war prodaution ut-haeks ,d{I lhe
disposal of surplus war property have on
various occasions been endowed with all
importance which, in the light of cold
analysis, they never deserved. The blunt fact
is that all three measures are basically
ailed at liquidating war production. They
are purely transition mecasures-yes, important transition measures- but nothing
mm.'. None of them attempts to assure a
sound postwar econom.y.
In addition to the three industrial demobilization laws, a number of other postwar measures have been enacted during the
Seventy-eighth Congress. We h
ave
enacted
a . 1, bill of rights. But its provisions are
not yet fully adequate to meet, the needs of
returning soldiers and sailors. Although we
have provided for loans to state inemqphoymerit compensation boards, we have done
nothing to increase c
overage under unemploym.ent compensation and old-age alin
SUrvivors insurance,
to
liberasze
benefits,
or to provide for health insurance. We have
passed legislation to provide for a miscellaneous assotlment of
oied-control and
rivers and harbors projetS, but have postponed action to develop the river baslns of
ore country in a courageous and corprehensive fashion under a Missouri Valley
Authority, an Arkansas River Authority,
andi
similar agencies in other areas. We have
tlone little in the preparation of a pls/twar
tox program, on the protionib of foreign
tradE, nr in the adjustment of freight rates
that discriminate agains
t industrial activity
in the South and the WVest. We have passed a
road bill but have delayed action on postwar
airports. We have not coma to grips with
the problem of monopoly and international
cartels. We have not yet mapped out postwar policies on the fundamental questions
of labor relations, wages, and prices.
As measured against the bachground of
our economic needs, the postwar laws that
have been enacted add up to very little. ThE
balanc.o sheet shows that the Seventy-eighth
Congress never came to grips with the
problem of providing an economic substitute for war production.
The repercussions of this failure have
already been felt. Knowing that practicall
nothing has been, done to provide for post
war employment, hundhreds of thousands of
war workers, vitally meeded in the production of the weapons of war, have quit their
war jobs and sought refuge in civilian
industry and trade. It is incumbent, there.
fore, upon the Seventy-ninth Congress to
map out a broad plugranm of postwar legislation. This is essential not only to the
preservation of our economy in the yean' to
cone.
but also to our catching up on delayed
schedules of war production.
A Public Responsibility
Il January, 1944, the President of the
United States, in his message to Congress
on the state of the union, outlmd all "
nomic bill of rights.'" Tb first point in this
document was the following:
"The right of a useful and remunerative
Job in the industries, or shops, or farms, or
mines of the nation"
Ten months later, in an address at Chicago, the President stated that
"'to assure the full realization of the right
to a useful and remunerativ, employment,
an adequate programl must proivile America
with close to 60,000,000 productive jobs,"
Statisticians may debate a.ong themselves as to whether the prerise goal should
be a little nmre or a little less than the
President'!
60,000,000 f
igure.But no
thoughtful American no matter what his
creed or station in life-would deny that
every man or woman in the country who is
willing to work and capable of working bas
the right to a job.
As yet, unfortunately, we do not have in
America, an 'adequate program" to provide
60,000,000 productive jobs. Nor will such a
program develop out of thin air. The right
to a job is ntI self-enforceable, It can be
translated into reality oniy through the
joint action of the people of our countrybusiness, labor, agriculture. nn all erart
groups-acting through the medium of their
duly elected Govenmient. In short, the socalled right to a job is a mnanh,gless figure
of speech unless our Government assumes
responsibility for the expansion of our
peale.tine economy so that it will be capable
of assuring full employmnnt.
Strategy of Full Employment
The fight for full employment is a twofold battle.
On the one hand, the .ovErn..eit mlust
do everything in its power to stimulate increased opportunities for empioymnet In
private enterprise. This is the major front.
On the other hand, to the extent that

DAYTON
(From Dayton Journal)
LECTRICAL workers in Dayton are preparing themselves for widespread postEwar use of eleetronics.
An adult training class in electronics was
instituted at Parker High School with W. G.
Williamson as instructor. Eighty-eight
workers have enrolled.
E. R. Puterbaugh, field representativ for
the Apprentice and Training Service of the
War Manpower Commission, 11 West Mon,ment Avenue, was instrumental in arranging
the course.
Classes to Expand
Classes will be held Tuesday through
Fridays, fromn 7:30 to 9:30 p. m ., and will
last for an indefirite period of time, possibly
Ls ]long as three or four years.
Classes soon may be expanded to include
postwar phases of the electrical industry
other than industrial electronics, Puterbugch said.
Williamson, member of the Electrical
Worker' Unimo
No. 82, A. F. of L., was
sent by the union last September to
.ar.quette University, Mi]waukee, Wisconsir, fop
intensive training in the new electrical trade

It ishoped the classes nay be extended
from an adult education p

to
include
vocational programs for youth.
The union contemplates spending as much
as $25,000 fol the program. Electronics is
now in the same stage as radio

Believing that in the postwar era, every
lathe, press and light switch will be run by
electronics rather than switches or buttons,
union officials and Electrical Workers feel
that such classes are necessary to keep them
informed of changes in the field.

J. E. Breidenbach, business manager of the
local union, who has for years advocated
education in the electrical industry; Clare J.

ST. LOUIS
(From St, L4ils St<r-Timnes)
To meet the challenge of recent advance'tents threatening to revolutionize the pictricinns' trade, the A. F. of L. Internal na
Brotherhood of Electricnl Workers, Local
No. 1, began a class in electronics at the
Lwioa hall, 4249 Gibson Ave.
About 40 mem.ber attended the 1irst
reekly class in the course which wilt last
about 20 weeks. Eventually the course will
be made available to any of the 2,500 .e.n.bors of the local who wish to tale the course
which will cost the union about $10,000, John
T. Meinert, union president, said.
Electronics Widely Used
Electronics is the science dealing with
the movements of electrons. While by no
mleans new, it has been given great impetus
by war needs and has bee, widely applied
in industry and military oplrations.

is one of the more spectacular products in
this field. Electronics is used il welding,
heating meta:s, regulating motors and in
mnany safety devices. Another electronic
equipment is the photo-electric tube,
Oscar W. Rosenkoetter, a union member
who has just completed an intensive 10-week
course in electronics at Marquette University, Milwaukee, is the instructor of the first
class. Seven other members, all chosen beerbuse they had
,niversity
training in elec.
trieal engineering, will take the electronics
course at Marquette and become instructors
for the local.
A..angemelnts for the lboal class were
made by the union's edua.tional committee,
composed of Gus Schumann, chairman; W.
B. Smith, Allen Siepmann and Elmer Kimn
Instruction in the class will be both theoretical and practical. In addition to lectures
and te'tbook work, class
nembers
Will have
an opportunity to operate electronic equipment and will be taken on tours of industrial
plants where such eqipment is in use.
Instructors Academically Trained
Instruction in electronics for members is
being carried on by the I. B. E. W. on a
iation-wide scale. Eighty-five unio
representatives from various parts of the nation
were in the first class at Marquette, which
was attended by Rosenkoetter. Eight or 10
succcive classes are planned at Marquette.
'Electronics has grown fhom a $1 billion
industry three years ago to n $5 billion or $6
billion industry now,' Schumann explained.
"Electricians must be able rot only to maintain electronic equipmen
t must be able
to install it."
The sentiment of lbe
1sitdtLs was summarized by H. P. Koenig, assistant business
representative of the union, who said, "Little
did ie think when we served our time that
we would have to go to school and study our
trade again."
PHILADELPHIA
(From Temple University News)
At this date some 100 members of Local

Electrical Workers, have satisfactorily ormplated the first course in Electronics giver
at Temple University rnder the Engineering, Science, and Managenct War

125 were assigned to five sections, and have
silent 72 hor-s attending classes two nights
a week, three hours a night, front 7 to 10
p. e., covering theoretical as well as practical industrial applications of electronics.
Some 80 of the members intend to continue
on in the next course of "Imlustria Electronics" for a similar priodd. This group
will start class meetings and laboratory sessions on January 3, 1945.
In a conference with various inlstruc.or'

H
SECURITY 24/
Qpoe n oS/Uz
(First in series)
sented to Congress its ninth annual report. Social security during and after the
war is the subject of the report. The role
which social security can and should play
in our industrial society, the problenm involved in meeting reconversion needs and
practical measures for correcting the defects
in the present social security programs are
thoughtfully presented.
The need for a social security program
exists in good times as well as bad, the report
points out. "People grow old and cannot keep
on working. The livelihood of millions of
families is cut short by the disability or
death of the breadwinner." Unemnployment
has not been avoided even in these years of
unparalleled industrial production.
As the war comes to a close and the
change-over from war production to peace
production must be made, a vast industrial
readjustment will be necessary. "While
industry is being regeared to peaceine production and mien are coinig back from all
corners of the world to take their places in
civilian life, mioiens of persons will have
to change jobs. In the country as a whole,'"
the report says, "we must expect considerathe short-term
unemployment."
The Question
The immediate qu.stion is whether the
Federal-State unemployment insurance system call meet the Natio's needs "during the
transition to peace and the years ahead]'
A umnmary of the full report is also being
sent to you. This bulletin will give you som.e
of the reasons for the board's proposals for
changes in the unemployment insurance
system.
Unemployment ihsurance is hitended to
meet the problems or short-term unemplovmont-it cannot cope with prolonged and
widespread unempl/yment. As the ]'eport
points out, "by reidacing a part of heir
wage loss while out of work, unemploymn..t
insurance can help wo.kers and their
families get ablng while the plant is retooling or while they are looking for new
jobs in their own town or elsewhere."
At the same time, the report says, "these
benefits, by helping to stabilize purchasing
power and sustain the morale and efficiency
of the working population, protect business
and the economy as a whole."
If, however, unemprloyment insurance is to
fulfill its functioneffectively, its protection
"must be broadly available to persons who
depend on employment for their living and
must provide benef.ts, which in amunt and
duration, replace a reasonable part of the
wages which workers lose because of invoelntary unemployment,"
There are serous shortcomings in the
present Federal-State unemployment insurain.e system, the report points out, and
action is "urgently needed now to make the
changes which will enable the unemployment
compensation program to fulfill the purpose
Low-down on jobless insurance based
on report of Social Security Board
for which it was established." All of these
shortcomings can be eliminated, the board
believes, some by state action alone, some
only through changes in the Federal law.
The Defect
Narrownless of coverage is the most serious defect in the present system: Some 15
to 20 million workers are now excluded
from state systems. Chief among these are
about three and a half million workers employed by small firms, about three million
farm workers, two million domestic employees, bearly a million workers in nonprofit institutions, more than three million
Federal civilian employees, three million
empblyees of state al I local governments,
and about 200,000 marithe workers.
Sioial Security Board recommendatios:
Utner.pboynont insurance protletion shouhl
As Ilany Is
be cxtteded to these workers,.
th.ee and a half .illo
workers can be
brought under state systems by amedbng
IIe state laws to include all firms in industries now covered who em ploy one or more
workers. Others, notably Federal and maritime workers, could best be protecaed under
a Federal system. This would requb'i Federal legislation.
Benefit duration period is too short: Present d r.ation provisions a.en't long enough
to carry iost u.i.em ployed workers over the
gap between jobs without u.nne.essarv dif-
fiulties. Doring tfi postwar reeonversion
period, the report points out, a worker may
be unemployed for a considerable time before
be finds work for which he is suited, and 'it
is not to his interest or society's that he be
forced by lack of funds to take casual or
dead-end jobs which offer no future security
to his family."
Social Security Board recommendations:
The board is strongly of the opinion that
unemployment benefits should be payable for
at least 26 weeks in a year. Actual operation
of the state systems has shown that, over an
average period, the present rate of unemployment insurance contributions can finance
benefits considerably longer in duration
than those now provided.
Part Replacement
Benefit payments ar, too small: Unemployment insurance is intended to replace
only part of the wages lost by an unemnployed worker. Iis weekly benefit amount
ordinarily should replace about half his
H.owever, for a large proprevious earnin.s.,
portion of workers who were drawing benefits in 1943, the weekly benefit was less than
half the workers' average wage. Also, except
for the District of Columbia, no provision
is made in the state laws for a worker's dependents.
Social Security Board recommendations:
The board believes that the maximnumi benefit for full-time unemployment should be not
less than $25 a week, including dependents'
allowances. Also, benefits should be related
not only to previous wages but to the
worker's dependents. This woukl provide
more adequate benefits for workers with
families. State unemployment insurance
funds could, it has been shown, finance
larger benefit payments than are now being
paid.
Disqualification provisions are unduly severe: Under all but a few of the original
stateunemployment compensation laws, the
major disquaiifications were in the form of

etc., and decided to make a hobby of raising
a number of chickens for the table and at
the same time garner a few eggs. So he
asked about breads. One friend recommended
Leghorns. He got some. Another boosted
lor Rhode Island Reds. He got some. Another pluaged Minors.. He got some. And
so on and on. The result was terrific. As
they were not egregated, but lived as eIle
big happy family, this chicken melting pot
brought forth an embarrassing mmenit for
Loupey. He had proudly sent in an application for membership in the Poultry Producers' Association. So the P. P. A. sent
a field representative to check on the
application. After one good look at this
incredible fhwck, he wiped the bears from
his eyes and wrote, "Application denied.
Not poultry." If you saw them you could
hardly believe them, Some few were so
badly mised they walked backwards and
were continually scratching dirt in their
own eyes. A Plymouth Rock head would be
attached to a Leghorn body with a Minorea
tail, one wing fromaa Black Giant, one from
a Silver Wyandotte and all supported by
the dainty tootaine of a Bantam. One little
bird had a suspiciously large foot like a
turkey, and I noticed its mother seemed to
be somewhat flighty.
So Lou has mixed his hobby with his daily
occupation-namely working out intricate
electrical problems. Applying the nomencisthre of the trade to the flock, he has tagged
them according to Hoyle. 'Hysteresis" is a
nervous little hen, always flying around.
UI call that one 'Impedance' because he has
all the resistance there is," said Leu, "and
this tough rooster, who seems to be a friend
of all the old hens is named 'Magnetic'."
Some nore of their liemen follow: "K. V. A.-

IhfhEMOT
OF E.E CTRIAL WOIHEES
These figures do not paint a picture that encourages the
regimentation of workers at this hour. According to dispatches from the meeting of the Big Three, it is apparent
that they foresee the inxinent closing of the war against
Germany. It is no wonder then that labor concludes that
the proposal for regimentation of lablnr is nothing more
than the fulfillment of the dastardly old philosophy of
"soak labor, and then soak labor agaill."
Is Labor As Good
As a Fish?
Soak
Labor
The fact lbat once again the military has brought
forward some kind of arrangement for the regimentation of labor three years after the war
began, justifiably raises suspicion. It is apparent that the
great job of production has been achieved; that we are
already in the transition period from war to peace and
that men are being laid off rapidly from key jobs; that
100,000 men a mownth are being demobilized from the
armed services and still the military wants something
resembling a national service act.
As usual they have carried on their campaign without
reference to facts or legitimate arguments. They have
given patriotic utterances about dire need, and they have
tried to over-awe the Congress with personalities who
claim the aforesaid step is absolutely necessary.
At no time has there been any evidence that there has
been a shortage of war materials on any front. As a matter
of fact on the German front more shells were fired by
artillery in one 24-hour period than at any time in the
history of warfare. If there was dislocation of materials,
it was ieot due Lo shortage at the source of supply but to
failure of logistics due to unexpected adjustments which
had to be made. At all times the War Department has
been in complete control of the manufacture and distribution of munitions for artillery and other arms. If there
has been any shortage, it has been entirely due to lack of
planning and foresight on the part of the military. The
implication that labor has contributed to this dislocation
is one of those vicious insinuations that do harm to a
loyal and patriotic body of workmen.
As the American Federation of Labor points out, there
is much to be learned by comparison of the performance
of the British worker under the terrific stress of invasion,
and the American worker. The British worker is operating
under a national service act; the American worker has
been free. Absenteeism in England has averaged 10 per
cent, compared with 6 or 7 per cent in the United States.
The strike rate in Britain in 1944 was 16 per cent higher
than in the United States. In munitions industries production per man hour in the United States has been approximately double that of Great Britain. Donald Nelson said:
"We call our secret weapon the initiative, intelligence and
know-how of the free American worker."
From November, 1943, to November, 1944, war plants
reduced employment by 1,300,000. In scheduled releases
of workers from war plants due to cutbacks and run-outs
during the first half of 1945, there will be about 350,000
men.
Labor unionists will pick up the
schedule of proposed appropriations
for 1946 and may have subject for
both smiles and tears. They will learn that the Department
of Agriculture, for instance, expects to receive around
$502,000,000 exclusive of some of its big extra agencies.
The Department of Commerce expects to receive
$87,000,000, and even the Office of Education will receive
$18,000,000, while the United States Public Health Service
will receive $122,000,000. These are great sums and as far
as we know are entirely legitimate and necessary for the
advancement of certain segments of the population. We
place beside these great sums the sum of $15,000,000 for
the Department of Labor and all its functions except
Federal grants to states under the Children's Bureau.
The Extension Service of the Departmentof Agriculture
alone has an appropriation of $20,000,000 to help farmers
with their various problems. The Bureau of Animal
Industry gets $16,000,000 for its specialized work, and
wonder of wonders, the Fish and Wildlife Bureau gets
almost $8,000,000 for its extension work. The American
working man appears to be about twice as good as a fish.
Victory In
Telegraph
The American Federation of Labor scored
almost a clean sweep in the nationwide
NLRB elections among Western Union
workers. Four A. F. of L. unions participated in the election victory: the Commercial Telegraphers Union, two
Federal labor unions and the International Brotherhood
of Electrical Workers. The election was made necessary
by the merger of Postal Telegraph with Western Union.
The election was the most extensive in NLRB history,
although the number of workers participating did not
score a new record.
This is regarded everywhere as a noteworthy victory.
It may be noted with equal justice and interest that the
four A. F. of L. unions had prior to the election agreed on
jurisdictional lines and cooperated and supported each
other in the balloting.
Democracy and
Education
Democracy rests upon a sound popular
educational system. Wherever you have
a good system of public schools you
will have democracy. Thus, countries where democracy
fails are countries where the minister of propaganda
serves as the chief source of ideas for young people. In
the postwar world the United States should develop a
stronger system of popular education based upon liberal
ideas and a free play of discussion. A step in this direction
is now being taken by the United States Office of Education. Its latest report, out this month, presents a plan
for strengthening the Office of 1Education, giving it more
money, increasing its staff, and permitting it to play a

indicate "100 per cent wool," "virgin wool,"
etc. In buying cloth to make garments be
sure it is preshrunk or be sure that it is
shrunk before you use it.
Silk-I know there's none to be bad just
now, but we can all dream, can't we? And
just for your private postwar plams, in
selecting silk ,nateial buy that with a fir,
weave because it is less likely to shrink or
pull at the seams.
When you buy ready-made garments
the best
advice
that c. be given is thislearn everything you catl about the garen.h t
and then. o..ly purchase those Labeled with
correct information which you call understand readily.
Labels sbohld bear a trademark or brand
name. They should state the correct size ag
standardized by the United States Governmeot. Directions for care and the guarantee
of fast color and aeainst shrinkage shuld be
stated-AND--don't forget the union label!
That's a must for every
uion iOla... .....
man, for in addition to the unmn label's
being a guarantee of a better grmnent., buying union-made goods is also our m eans
of
keeping faith with Brother and Sister unih..
iets the country over and of assuring better
wages and coditions for every worker,.
Consider everythisg you buy boftre purebasing it. Buy only if you need the gairmevnt
and only if it is attractive,
becolnhrg
and
servieeable. Exi
riem styles are not ,rood
buys for usually they ca.. b worn only a
shglge setleon and tbis makes them very
expensive. Garrentms which are g, ng to
need a great deal of care and cleaning oily

And that's Ill we hava space for

Member Wins DSC For D-Day Actions
For single-handedly wiping out two mnachnlegun nests and capturing an
enenoy sniper oil the Normandy beach on D-Day, Sergeant Richard J. Ga{lagher,
son of Mrs. Katherine Gallagher, 131 Grant Avenue, Brooklyn. has been awarded
the Distinguished Service Cross, highest Armay hono, that can be eonmfurerd by
an overseas commander. Gallagher was a member of L. U. No. 3 and was
employed at Consofidated Fir, Alarm Company before joining the Army in
May, 1943,
According to the War Department, Sergeant (then Private First Class)
Gallagher's company was pinned down by heavy fire on D-Day, June f, when
he decided to advancd
, alone, to investigate the eermy gun emplacemq nts.
Undeterred by intense fire, he proceeded through a field sown with mines
and up a slope to a m achinegun nest which had been inflictitn heavy casualies
on his compony. Using hand grenades and his tifle, he wiped out this emplacenllt and then returned to the beach to lead part of his company through the
eitned field and to the more forward position.
When the neoo
wet- settled on the slope, Gallagher again proceeded forward
and to the top of the hill, where he discovered anothere..niy machinegun in
a wooded area. He not only captured the nan who had bee. firing his gun,
but alo an enemy rifleman who had been sniping from the cliff.
In the words of the Army cliation: "The tena.ity of pinpose skill and
peronal bravnemry
by himn
-tlt
great redhit on himself and
are in keeping with the highest tradition of the Armed Forces."
liesides the DSC, Gallagher has also teen awarded the Combat infantry
Badge his mother eports. A brother, John A., chief phar.m.acist mate, serving
in the Paeril, has been recommended Tor the Navy C.rss, Navy equivalent of
the DSC. Another brother, Staff Sergeant William II. Gallagher, made the
initial landings with the Marines on Gualdalcanal and other Paci 5c islands
and holds the Ordfe of the Purple Heart. A third hrother, Thomas A. Gallagher,

The Joural of ELECTRICAL WORKERS and Operbrs
Canadian Hero
From L. U. No. 1283, Windsor, Ontario,
comes a newspaper clipping on the death in
action of one of its young members.
Brother Robert Nault Poolewas reported
wounded in action
in September
of last
year, recovered, and returned to action in
holland from whence word has come that
he has been killed in action.
Brother Poole enlisted in April of '43 and
arrived overseas in September of that year
with a reinfo-cement unit. Before his enlaisment, Brother Poole was employed by
the rural power division of the Ontario
Hydro Electric Power Commission.
we habe a majority, we've never yet failed to
get an agreoment, and we'retoo old to start
now.
Top journeymen scale tnn $6:.50 and chief
technleian $78.50. Theeoare a long way below
the new Chicago scale. (Make a note of that,
Miss Jones.) Mostly our
areem entscover at
least two weeks vacation, with double-time on
holidays and call-backs. In home places, the narrow-backs have still got us beat for scale.
(Speaking of inside men. Wet'e sure found 'ena
eoopterative with our R, B. T. local and we're
always ready to show our app.ocliation.) The
last new agreement to take effect gave the
Brothers at Madison a $b.04$a-week raise. Reeeivd
ain lump sumn, the retroactive raises
brought the techs a total of $1,400.00 ill back
lay.
We see by the papers that the public is still
being told of what wonderful things are in
store for all (7? of us in that wonderful postwar
world Dou btlless, stores will offer many desir-.
able products made by applcltien of new scientific knowledge. But doesn't it strike you as 'illy
to pot so much emphasis on what will be for
sale and so little on whether we will be able to
buy? Whether we are able to buy, of course.

electrical classes at Cohn Trade School in (Chicago, Illinois. The schoel is opesn three

expounding of the theory of electronils, we had
practical den.onstrations by Bh,,bet Sriih l, wo
brought his personal
]laoratory equipment, for
demionst rat ions.
Theclasses are mostly composed of New York
C(teral failroad e.e.t.rieiaa; the small percentage of other railroad men in this iienity
is dite to smaller forces, and that is why the
former predominates. The quartest we use for
the clas1en iar furnished by the Cloveland Union

burden on those who would and are taking the
course as we offer it.
E1. G. Fw,..R, P. S.
L. U. NO. 980,
Editor: Now be-
lig firmly established in the new
year, a brief survey of the future clearly indicates the tresmesidous job ahead of us in 1945.
Foremost Is the winning of the war. The most
dangerous part of that job lies in the hands
of our capable anId courageous fighting men and
their admirable leaders.
Our part of that job consists of fuilsiti,
themn with everything they need to prosecute
the battle, and to have it ready for them before
they need it. But our duty does not stop there.
The majority of thse fighting men., who are
giving their youth and risking their lives, will
some day be returning home. What kind of a
home will they return to? That is also the responsibility Of we who Ar" here on the home(ront now.,
Therein lies the battle of the homifront.
There are those who would
take advantage
of this world chaos to amass a wealth and
power anl to perpetuate their power through
the years by coisplete subjugation of the great
nass of Americans, the workers.
They would use this time of national emergency to aeonipllsh their desires inder it false
pretense of patriotism.
Shall we allow our boys to return to a hoein
such as they found upon their return froil Wordi
War I ?
Most emlphatically not!
We must provide such security that they will
return and ,e as justly proud of us as we are
of them.
We can do it by maintaining a co.s. vigilance
of our local, state, and national governnents.
By making it a government of, for, and by the
people.
We have a measure of security in the present
Social Security law. But this can he broadened
and extended by the enactment into legislation
of the Murr.y-Wagner-Dlingell bill.
We have a waRe and hour law that now affordI a
..
eagure of protection to the workers
that some
industrialists
have for so long expiloited. We can only continue and improve this
legislation by being constantly alert.
These and many others are the reasons why
we must stay on our toes in 195. We
lon,,
through our individual and organizatolnal efforts, eftee, a progressive change in mnany of
our governmental shortcomings. But we must
all participate.
Shall we resolve, throughout this year, to
contribute our full support to the task ahead?
Without a doubt we shall!
And nlay we petition God's blessings npon our
every effort.

The True Picture
As press secretary of Local Union No.
1186, I thought it was proper that wegive
the correct picture of the conditims at
Pearl Harbor because so nany of the men
have come here with a bright pieture painted
by some of the recruiting agencies and arc
sadly disappointed. When an electrician
lands at Pearl Harbor, we would like to
have him figre on staying there at least
until his contract is fulfilled, and that is
18 months.
The writer has just completed an 18
months' contract phus a short a. igns.e..t
with the 0. W. 1. as a technical engineer installing radio equipment at Saipan and has
been associated with the boys who are doing
the fighting for the past two years. As
iungh as some people might think Pearl
Harbor is, it is certainly a lot hotter than
the accommodations affordd our Brother
members doing the same type of iork in
the actual battle areas.
The wages are $1.46 per hour for third
class, $1.52 for second class and $1.58 for
first class.
Contact your nearest Civil Service, United
States Employment Service Office or the
Pearl Harbor recruiting office for full information.

When the wrong man uses the right means, the right
means work in the tcwronf utay.
All virtue lies in use. Power to use is the only right
to possess.
Who can make the muddy warer clear? Let it be still
and it will clear itself.
To him who waits. time opens eLery door.
