"Charge the material used each day, we can't make any money if material slips by uncharged. This is a T and M job, CHARGE the MATERIAL." That night the helper's time-slip read omething like this: Construction: a bours. Material: Two San1 inch holes. R.AYR WSLCRa, L. I. No. 415.

St. Peter said, "Though your work was very good en earth, and there are no black marks against you. I must setence you to hell, as ther is no more room inheaven." "'St Peter, Our worthy Brother replie, all my working life and dounuithe part when I didn't work, I have been told of the wonders of heaven where the streets were paved with gold, and milk and honey flows. Now won't you piease give me Just a fifteensninute pass into that heaRenly paradise and let mn see lor myself lust what I'm missing?' So St. Peter being a Just guy let the Brother bare his pass. He had Just got through the gates when he met a couple of Brother wire Jerker. who started totell him of the wonderful lighting effects In when our Brother interrupted to say., heaven, I have no time for idle chatter, I Just have a few minutes between busses, I am reportng to a big Job in hell. The devil is going to re-wire all bades and therell be overtime double time for Saturevery day and double day and Sunday, lots of wine, women aid song for them that likes it and pay day every dy. With that the Brother walked on and pretty soon he noticed groups of five or 10. then 50 and 10 rushing for the gate, As he hod now been in heaven for 10 minutes. he said, "Time is getting short. Guess I had bettmr get over to the gate and see what the rush is abot," St. Peter met him at the gate and said. "There have ben a great many wire Jerker. asking for tra.f.ers; seems like there is a rumor the devil is going to re-wire all hell, and ao there now being lots of room But our worthy ,tay." Fan in heaven, you Brother replied, "Quite so, Brother Pete, but lIn turning in my pas:; there may be sorething to that rumor after ail' Ritt GSEN,,Z L. U.

IN THE NATION'S CAPITAL A "rier-rat" went to Washintn., D. C., on a busiless and sight-seeing trip. On his return his friends asked him for his opinion of Washington. 'Welh," said the "river-tat" 'Washington reminds me of the Mississmppi river during the flood season, "What about the people?" his friend, asked again. With a silly grin. the "river-rat' said, "The people remind me of a bunch of autsthat have Just about overloaded a large log in the middle of the flooded Mississippi, and each ant Is conceited enough to think that it is steering the log down the river."

A merican labor has been in the inlteunational family of labor subie it.s,eetiIn as a stroi.g, irganized uit. Whorl this is sa,.h however, it should le fully nderstood that it has lev hbeen. an. orthodox socialst nation, nor has the American, labor ,1Ovnient been an ortho dox socialist iovemeni.

It helieves in interration.Il cooperation but. not the loss of identity o ' a labor .. .. eve.len t of out own (ounti~t la] iitlvtpllilts If other countries. It warms gen.rously to the sentiment that bonm. there is a pro foundly deep, uniting w orking peoplc, as Lincoln said, but it is never warm to the socialist idea that thereshol..d be a.n mternational union of labor which tubes p.restige and authoiity away from11 the indivdual nations, An eriean labor has been right in this bleause all events of the presen. era indicate the retentli.I of strong nationalis.

They se.n.ld to credit us with wilful perverseness . istead ef an honest deire to indicate a real situs tion that had to be net." ~ (iotapes eo in contriving tmisslon was instrum.ental an International Labor Office as aIonditio of the peace and it is a hilstorical fact that Mr. Gormpers was probably the authr oIf the International Labor Conference which meets in Philadlplia after about 25 years' absene froe the Amerian s.e..ne. Mr. Gompers tells of his light for the Internstionai Labor Office. AMERICAN PROPOSALS "The secontd big fight I made was for the principle that the International Labor Office or it, annual assembly shall nit propose to any country, a law, conv.ention. r tieaty which contains lower standards than obtained in that coimty, After the acceptance of the Alelric'an proposals safeguarding the -ights of federated govern mers (isuch as ours, this proposal was the crux tpon which our commissio wasa bout to split. I ann.ounced that unless that proposal was adopted by the commission Mr. Robinson and I woldd be forced to refrin from signing the report and we would submit a minority report to the Plenary Counel. We proceeded to argue this question for days and in addition to conferring with my ass.ciate, Mr. Robinson, and with my A. F. of L. associates, I also had , conference with Andrew Fu'useth who aided us in framing this safeguard. }ie assured me that if our prop.osal was made part of the plan. he regarded the document as perfectly se, souid, and of great beneflt to labor of all countries, particularly of t countries hose which were m.le backward, while it would safeguar'd the working people of the United States from anr attempt to lower the American standards of life and work. After the die had been cast by nay statement to the commission, they adopted the principle by practically a unanimous voit, the Japanese delegation again refraining from voting. "In addition to the draft convention wbich provided for the organization and operation of an International Labor Bu.reau .and cor .re.ce.., there ws drawn ip a declaration of labor principles to be inserted in the peace treaty. These principles constituting a bill of rights for labor were to write into the treaty an extraordinary re.ognition of certain common principles of relation between men in the affairs of daily life. The btsis for this charter was the principles which the Americanl Fedr,alion of Labor submitted to the Inter-Allied Conference in Loudhon iSe ltenlher If 1918. In substance the principles to be approved by the coun.tries signing the treaty were; "In right and in fact the labor of a h.mana..being should TeHt he treated as neiclieitadis or an ati.i lc .f omnwnrce. "Enlpb... s aId workers should be iilowed the light of association for all lawful Ip..rep..s. "No thild should be per.. itted to be enpIoyed iI industry or commerce before the age of 14 years. "Bitwen rtheyears if 14 and 18 gainful emjpli,yrnt permitted at work not physically hlarmful and on condition that technical or general edmuation be continued. "Evey worker has a right to a wage adlequate to mnaintain a reason- able staidard of life. "Equal pay shoud ibe given to women and tO mIen or work of equal value in quantity and quality. "A weekly rest, includig Sunday, or its for equivalent all workers. "initit, no of the hours of work in industry on the basis of eight hours a day mo 48 hours a week. "The c.niiissi.n designated Wash- ington as the place for the first International ILaor Commissbim to be held under the treaty and adopted an agenda providing for an organizing committee. The last meeting was held on March 24. 'As soon as the work of the commission was fnished our American labor delegation went to london for a cozifrrerce with a special committee of the parliamentary comnnittee bt reach an agreement upon time and place of an international labor conference which had been proposed for May entd whil, we hoped to have postponed unit Is ome later late, preferably Octo ber in Washington., The cmonmittee agreed to r'port or requ.est favorably and we left London for Plymouth, whena we sailed , via Brest for New Yo'k." GREAT EVENTS Mr. Gomnpers w, lea ling with great events in this stage of his,areer. Of dee, inport to American labor of 1944 is this stateInent of his position "Without attempting to give a further outlin if the whole p roposal of the International Comission for Labor Legislation, I think it fitting to quote here the preamble as it was accepted by Ihe PlearyICouncil and is part of the Covenan.t of the League uf Nations of the Treaty of Versailles: "The high contrteling parties, recogaizig that the well-binig, physical, moral, and intelleclual, of industrial wage earners is of supreme international importance, have framed, in order to further this great end, the pernanent machinery provided for in Scction I and assc iated wit that of the League of Nations. "They recognize that differe.ce of dlimate, habits, and customs of ece IOnie o ppo-toni y and industrial tra dition make strict uniformity in the emnrlil ions of hlt.r ldiifirult of imnidi- ate attainmnmt. But, holding as they do, that laber houfld not be regarded in only as an art.. .. L if comnerce , they thik tlat there art methmls and prImcI/,1rs fur regulating labor eonditions which all indus rial comnnmunities should endoliver as theni nmt. to apply, so far special fi,-urnstances will per- "Among these methods and prin- ciples,. the following sevm to the high contractinOg parties to be of special and UrgIeit importance: "First-The guiding principhe above enunciated that labor should not be regarded merely as a commodity or article of commerce. "Second The right of association for al lawful puirposes by the employed as well as by the eiployers. "Third--The payment to the employed of a wage adequate to maimtini a reasonable tandard of life as this is understeod in their time and country. " uFmrth The adopt ion of an eighthour dy r a48-hour week as the Standard to he aimed at where it has not aheady been attained. "Fifth The adoptiron of a weekly vst of at least 24 hous,. which shall include Suniay wherever practicable.

(T No. 312 HE purpose of this article is Ill to the Erotherhiaod to cona umonun ntal dealing with the habits and acTki't tions of human beings in a so-called eeonmieic society. The title of this test is "The Mind and Society" by Vifredo article Pareto. It is hardly possible in de. even to ,ttteilnt as short as this quatoly to describe these writings, but it is meant rather to put one in touch with the above-mentioned works corn prising four volumes of some 2300 printed padres. In a world beset by turmoil andi confusion it is doubtless a fact that th, bewildrrment among the Electrical Workers is found in equal intensity amolg other trade and social groups ihroughout the opinionof the world. Hiowever, in tile writer, a study of the text will disclose that there are certain beacons of reasoning to be found. Each of us has been amazed and confused at the apparent conflict betwveen so-called statesmen and the apparen t lack of rhyme or teas.n II the economnic, cultural and politica objectives of our Allies, not to mentio, the bewilderment in the enemy cmnps. AN ELECTRICAL ANALOGY The writer thinks it is wise at this point d make use of Ln leetriral ... to digress familiar. analogy with which we avemore In the early days of applied electricity, Ohm's law was found to be right, but as late as 1910, there was .ome question as to whether Ohm's law applied to alternating current circuits. The point lhe writer wishes to make Liea is, that we did not have under obsevation all the other eIements in a circuit, and therefore, we falsely concluded at that time, that Ohm's law was wrong. However, when the other phenomena of the circuit were brought nlder elose observation, it was at once reestablishod that Ohm\' law was valid srid correct. Mind you. Dr. Ohm never had alternating crurent under Iirect obtion whell .erva servation, but his basic . rcrri't lal atial applied to alternating right, "The Mind and Society" will at once nake clear that th .re ar. 1o Rcpuhblican kilowatts or Democrat kilbwlts,. A kilowatt is a kilowatt in its owIl right and neeis no interpretations by highly paid commentators nor any ftree rIf propa goida to give it poiwe as such. Now let us refer again to the work of Vilfredo Pareto. Ec onoists iof the abstract school, commonly known as orthodox, have made the mistake of ap plying economic laws asdd sone early students who tried to ptplly Ohn's law to alternating curren t, S... e economirsts Member finds Pareto's work fundamental to understanding of men's mind and behavior laed false conclusions simply have r because they have not had under observation all the components of the human problem. NOT BYERREAD ALONE Mark well that one does no. live by bread alone. nor does tihe psychotogiaI and enotional appeal if sant statesm en offer a good substitute for aIell-balanced mnea. A quotation Drmonela of the ,oIu,,es of 'The Atino rd Society" may help to elucidate som ewhat here: may say. in general, "'One and speaklng very roughly that the g.verning class has a of its own interests because .iew clearer its vision is lessobscured by sentimenIts. wherea, the subject class is less aware of its interests because it vision is more clouded by sentimtrs,'' hence, a bit of self-analysis discloses that we soietmires permit S,,n ti..its to obscure our highel interests. In the opino, of the writel, Pareto has for the first time succeedled in bringng under dierst ,bservation alI the facthe eCOlOlfl.it status of the s tor covering various groups of society, showing their inteidependence. the flux of their relationships, the degree of rigidity and the degree of ilexibinlkt and has reduc..d the ;Ica .... :'rl,,t ... : le pattern to an The writer might aod that when the human equation i. considried, the economic problem may seem very peculiar and even weird results are n ted. but seem wei to our only becaust hey ar. so nIe .ies concept of homan eng .. eerilig. sogion called s.ci.olog.

Itowever, if ignored hy us, it can be utilized by the so-called statesmen, sociologists and, as well, oar- VrtFREDO PARETO ions corpiorate interests, not so nm'ch agoainst is directly, but to leave uL wholly unaware of the nature of the true social Led economiLc forces and how to utilize these forces in a social economic malhine. Should this happen, it may leave us far behind and thereby permit then' to retain certain political anod eoonoo advantages. It is quite interesting to note that the works if Pareto have been used in for,ogn chancelleries and also have beeu wvidly usedamong statesm en throughout the .orld; yes, even in the United States. Hence, it is not unusual to find seine forms of government which praise tile works of Pearto, while on the other hand, thers cmuse theo of being a diabolical plot. For example, if a mans predilections ' run against fascisl, he will accuse Par eto's declarations of being the work of the fascist., Conversely, the fascist eOro- ,eotsly suspects them of being the superiiludern theories of Karl Marx, the father of cltm nunisn. Howe.vr, Vilfredo IIret)'s assertions have torn away the screen fton these machinations, We must leain to umdlerstad this great nao's precepts and power of vision. And so we find the 'winks of this brilliant author ..cssedi" among the various groups ali discussed tions. in their respectiv TII THE AUTHOR SPEAK Again let us return to our electrical analogy of Ohm's law. Ohm's Iaw is valid GIpB ritain, in the United States. Great many, and yes, is even used in Russia.

(ContinUed on page liOn) The Journal of ELECTRICAL WORKERS and Operators 128 0 THE Christian the goals of post war planning can be stated simply. TThey are two. They are Christ and bread, But I do not wish to hide behind such an over-simplified statenieat of objectives. I propose to break it down. see what is in it, and hold it up before you, Moreover, it will be necessary to reessential part of the member that an machinery to achieve these objectives is itself included in the objectives. Please do not think that I am getting tangled up in my logic. What I an actually saying is that an important part of the means is actually the end. I shall explain as we go along. To the Christian the first objective in postwar planning is the acceptance of Christ as the King of the world. Around this notion the Christian ar ranges his thoughts and on it and on it alone rests his hopes for world order. What is this notion? It is that men accept and be guided by the concept of society that God is the Father of all men, and that all men are brothers through His Son, Jesus Christ. Standing on this solid position, the Christian finds real substance to the expression, dignity of man. To him it m.ean.s something, and that something is nothing less than this, that human beings in every part of the world, have the same stature in the sight of God that he has, are as dear to Christ and are as capable of eternal life as he is, because they are with him brothers and sisters of the Elder Brother Jesus Christ. BROTHERHOOD OF MAN From this doctrine the Christian expects. each to treat every other not merely as someone to he reckoned with because he is stronger or perhaps to be plundered because he is weaker. but as brother through the Sonship of his own Jesus Christ. To establish this goal is the first task in the Christian's thinking. Surely he is not waiting for it to be established in full outline before he will do anything else, but reasonably he puts it in his thinking as the first goal to be striven toward with all zeal and energy. I may add perhaps that there will not be much debate about the need of this first goal, particularly with those who insist that it alone should be pursued and nothing else lone. I do not belong to that school of thought and therefore will move into the second objective, and advocate certain means to both the first and be employed to attain the second. The second objective I call bread. Of course I am using the term as a symbol. By bread I mean all the things that are necessary for man's physical life and comfort. My thesis is that they should be produced in sufficient quantity and be so distributed that no one need go without. In other words, the grand total should be enough to go around, and it should be justly parcelled out. But someone will say: That is socialism. Now, frankly, I am not much concerned about names. It is what is be,eath them that matters. Besides, it Cha" c V ant P anninf Gon Bat~ q Mized a By the Most Reverend FRANCIS J. HAAS, Bishop of Grand Rapids Vision of just and stable world promulgated by eminent cleric may oume as a distinct surprise to many to know that Pope Pius XI in 1931 declared that an ecoenomy fulfills its true purpose only when it supplies all the people with All the goods which natural resources and technical skills can furnish. There is no other limit to be set on production of goods and services. The whole passage from the Encyclical Forty Years After is: "For then only will the social economy be rightly established and attain its purposes when all and each are supplied with all the goods that the resources of nature, techand wealth nical achievement, and the social orlife can fureconomic ganization of nish." (Forty I'eas After, paragraph 75.) In a word, the Holy Father says: use all the material and human resources you have, and stop using then, only when the people say they do not need any more goods or sel-dces. Now we in the United States cane closer to that goal in 1943 than we ever did before in history. The volume of goods turned out than in was nearly three-fou.-ths.mo.e the previous peak year of 1929. It is common knowledge that unemlployment is now almost entirely wiped out, and that we have attained a virtually full employment economy. CAN'T IT fiE DONE AGAIN? This of course was done and is being done under the stimulus of patriotism and comm..ion defense. Many are asking, however, if it tan be done during war why can it not be done in peace? It will take planning, and the giving up of some of our former procedures and even pet theories, but the very necessity of things will compel As to do it. Let no one say that the need of full production and the need of full employment have.nothing to do with the rIobI venr lems of postwa reconstruction. ture to say that they have almost everything to do with it, What are these prohbems? I pass over sone of the 1echnical1 ones, such als taxation. war debts. plant conversin., and liquidatio. of war contracts, not because they are unimportant or in any sense to be minimized. Nevertheless. they are secondawy to those problaems directly affecting the great mass of the people, who, unless they are dealt with as people--and I say it with the greatest hsitatian and almost terror-will see to it that it will not make much difference whether or not the others are solved, Conversely, if people are dealt with humanly, justly, and Christly. there is every reasonable hope that they themsolves will help to work out the instruments to help themselves. After all, this is the creed of democracy. No less important, it is basic in the creed of Christianity that every human being has a rational soul, endowed by his Creator to make intelligent free choice, and placed under divine command to do for others as he would have them do unto himn With this said, I turn to a consideration of the enm.nous task ahead, now and at the end of hostilities, involving of millions of human the lives of beings. I shall use the word right in the Christian sense and refer only to that class of rights which a person has to certain things because he is a child of God. Before all else, the retuning sodier as well as every able-bodied civilian has the right, that must be guratlteed, to have a job in a useful occupalian throughout his productive life. H, has the right ia city or on farll, to corn pensati. n sufficient to secure hin and his family adequate food, clothing. sheland in addition to ter, and medical c are, anl increasing share of the goods and comforts of rn'ogress directly in protion as they increase in volume. Moleover, he has the right to security against sickness, accidents, the vicissitudes of unemployment and old ago. Still more, he has the right to work and live As a free man under a system that xlill Ier mit him a voice in determining the conditions under which he works from day to day. less than these things a mlan's stature as a Christian will not let him accept, If through force he does accept less, the very image of Christ in his soul is disfigured and outraged. On the other hand, if no man and his dpenideats are to be denied the full minimum, can there be any question ihat Ihere must be full and abundant production of goods? THE MEANS Now let us consier the means that are proposed to get this r-sult. coughly. they fall into two categories, that of private initiative and that of a demunratically organized society. By "private initiative" I do not mean the legitinate stirrings in every man's bosom to get 1 APRIL, 19944 ahIad, but rther the modern systeml of capitalisni caltld "fre etvlire..

W. local union. Long step in advance Famed Tower of C(oillt Unliverily at ItMaca, N. Y. ORNELL Universily, one of tih g Iat institutions of learning in the United C States, has established a School of Industrial and Labor Relations. The school will be spm.sr.ed by the S arte of New York by act of the ,gislature. A temporary board of trusteo5 will soon ble named to wake a full report on the ,ulriculum and other relative nmatteis. Thl school will be in operation in 1945.

The State of Now York will ht rPresented by the president of Cornell, the chairana and counsel of the Ives Committee and the com missionerof educatiLn of the State of New York. WHY OF THE SCHOOL Chairman Ives has issued a statement describing the origit of the idea and the motive behind it: "Unlike any other educational instilu tiao heretofore existing anywhert in he United States, this school will he open LI representatives of both labor and mmawement or to anyone eise who mlay wish to enter. All will attend the cane elasses under the same instructors, all will bE faced with common problems and mutual experiences. This very association in itself should go far toward increasing moutud unde.rstasnding and respect. "This school should help greatly in developing better labor leadership and more responsible labor unions. It should help no less in inmproving management personnet who deal with employees." A tentative draft of the neasure establishing the school sets forth the objectives in the following language: "It is neLessary that understanding of industrial and labor relations be advanced, that more effective cooperation among genemployers and employees .ore and oral recgniti ion of their mutual rights, obligations and duties inder the laws pertaining to industrial and labor relations be achieved; that meanis for en-. eo.r.aging the growth of mutual respect and greater responsibility onathe part of both employers and employees be developed, and that fidustrial efficiency through the analysis oI problems relating to emtplayinngt be inltwed."

It is particularly pleassat coming as it does frob a representive of organized labor. We ale, of course, deeply gratified at the state's recent action in the proposal fur the establishment of a School of Industrial and Labor Rielatoris sit Cornell. It offers, to be sure. a great challenge but I ant convinced that the challenge can be effectively met here. The piojeet will certainly call uIp....t ll the resourcts e we ar ats yours bring to bear, and suceh .ates of congratulation and encouragenen t are nost heartening. Sincerely yours, E. DAy. (Signed) EDwARD Since the lime that these letters were written tih press of the city of Potigh keepsie, the Trades and Labor Council and all alflinted bodies have enthusiastically supported the propos(d course. As a result Mr. Sorenson has been allpointed to the post of chaiman of th, labor ,eromttete of the Peughkcepsi, Postwar Eivic League. The New Leader, ,abor-liberal weekly of New Yo.k, makes this comment on the proposed school: 'The dynamic Mr. Ivts las ibltrmoded lute the legistlatue a bill providing for a coillge of indt,,rial and labor reiat ions at Cornell.

The fluorescent lamp is an eletrical discharge source consisting of a tubular bulb with an electrode sealed in each end. Each lamp electrode has ai ttIgeln filam cathode ten l aid two an tnninalik I ai.des, coated with ecctroll elissiv( * of the tube, The ability of a gas or va;or give off light and other tadaitit energ'y because of the fow oIf elect..ons through it involves a somewhat intricate theory of the action oi atois, and it is not altogether necessary to go into this pIr tictinr aeton in order to lnderstamd the action and opera.ion of these tubes. TYPES There are several types of discharge lamps, some of which have been available fora long time. Among the more familiar if this type of laImp az, the .eO.., m. rcury, sodium and argon. With its inner coating removed the fluorescent . lam. is m(,re1y a glass tube, containlang a dl.p of mercury and a small amount, of argon gas and its eketrodes in each ,dl, and in principle is quite similar to the old Cooper He..itt mercury vapor lamp. In the Lluorescent lamp the elements have ,en adjusted so. as to produce very little direct light, but are so arranged to erow d as much energy as pIos..ble i n to ultraviolet energy at (TIC speci ic wtave length, that of 2537 angst reis. Phasplots art, then selected for 1-e.ponse paximum in the regiol of this wave length. Sonie liea of the econireit operation of fl u..respent Imnps, when their energy is co..,eelted into the proper' av, length, can be gaibed fromn the following graph which hans been plotted for a 15 walt I' hiaIp. (See sketches Nos, 2 and 3) In attempting to explain the action of fluorescents and in oider not to go too dee p bite the theory involved, let Is say that the action of materials which do fluores'e under the a ion .. o. ultraviolet adLinn is simply that such material absorb energy . at one ...av. Legth ard readiates it at a longer wave length in much the s.ame .anner that one ]ny say that a transformer absorbs wattag, at one voltage and current and delivers this DIwer at a different voltage and current. The c-radiated energy oF Iluorescent powders spreads over a considera-le range or continuous band of visible wave lengths. Thus we are able to prodtce lamps giving off various colors dependmig upon the particular phosphor powdher with which the tube is coated. (C(ontinued or page 155) e , nl ateria/. t i 'S ... ec ...

I TIE LIFLEBLOQD QF COMMERCE r The Journal of ELECTRICAL WORKERS and Operators 136 old %Tt REVIEWS GAINS Ay O4E Sai. R"OAd4,eOhi By JOSEPH E. ROACH, L.. U. No. 39, Cleveland, Ohio OME 40 years ago last October, I was inducted into Local 39. It ~a S mysfirst ,eperiencein a tradeunio, but not in the labor anovem..ent-three years prior to that time I had been initi ated in the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, a new lodge just organized for trainmen of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Meeting with an accident, I found a job at the Bell Telephone Company, and shortly afterwards (three months, to be exact) Local 39 was born. There was a mixed local here at that time, and with an independent telephone company building here, which brought many linemen into the city, they wanted a local of their own. They applied for , ehartr and as of July 1, 1899, Local 89 began to function. They set out to organize the three on,panies and needless to mention, met wtlh stubborn resistance. The companies used every artifice knownto stifle the union, but they were determined to mganize the new telephone company and did. After Fought for the cause and saw victory come. A pleasant valedictory a strike of several days. they won the eight-hour day and a pay increase. FEW OLD TIMERS LEFT There are only one or two of those charter memabers left. Yes, they're gonebut their work was not in vain. The old grim eaper has thinned out the ranks of the ohd timers. Time and the ravages of disease have carried them way. but those of us left have grateful renoembrailees of them and the fine example of loyalty and devotion to the cause they had instiled in their hearts, to pIromote better living conditions for themselves and their families. Perhaps we should not grieve too nmeh, for many of you lived long enough to know that the foundation you started would be successfully carried out and the education you disseminated to the mn following the trade, saw unionism rise to greater heights and better conditions fo, the men who toil and their families. HAPPY CHANGES S. now, entering the field of retirement, it does make one happy to see the change that has taken place; labor has at last taken her place alongside industry. and industry has come to the realization that labor can no longer be the pawn of selfish ..nd disgruntled employers, for in this day, the right to bargain co] /ectively is now recognized by law as is the right of labor to choose those whom it wishes to represent it. It is a power delegated to the labor leaders by the ranlk and file, and it is imperative that they see that they are not betrayed ani that they themselves do not become autocratic and abusive of the privilege assigned to thn,?. These changes I have lived to see, and if I have contributed anything o the cause, natr'ally I am happy, but now for . .e, it ia over--ani not so easy a matter, for I anu confronted with conficting nmotions: one, a feeling of relief the other, If deep reluctance. I realize fully that I shall never again enjoy the close intimate contacts of my fellow workers at the Municipal Light Plant, and I extend to them, one and all,. my heartfelt thanks and gratitude for their mllany courtesis their kindness, andi best of all. their respect. I would like to name each and every one of you here, but to do so would a!most be profane, lest I overlook seione .. . also the boys of Local 38, and the shopmen at the 41st Street plant for their many kind favors. Fellows, you were really swell to me. Good-bye to you all! IN TRIBUTE I will close with this little poem.- with apologies to Wilbur Nesbit 'As I roan] here and there e..e m.y Ju May I always find friends just as true, May Dame Fortune in kindness ,y daily path bend To a .bunch of good fellows like you. In this life I have found that ,! get what we give, We are done to, forsooth as we Io; So my prayer is that I may live. while I live With a bunch of good fellows like you. There's a glint in your eye; there's a clasp in your hand; There's a tone in your voice always new; I think paradise must be some sort of alanl With a bunch of good fellows like you. Here's a pledge to your health, to yu, joy, yuur success, For the ie of your kind are to. fAw There is something to hearten, to gladden. to bIdss In a bunch of good fellows like you."

XtIl Florida on Washington, D. C., April, 1943 Labor unionists in Florida are up in arms Make against a proposed amendment to the state constitution outlawing the closed shop in Florida. This amendment will have to be ratified by the people. The gist of the amendment is as follows: "The right of persons to work shall not be denied or abridged on account of membership or nonmembership in any labor union, or labor organization; provided, that this clause shall not be construed to deny or abridge the right of employees by and through a labor organization or labor union to bargain collectively with their employer." It is known that many states are watching the struggle in Florida with acute attention. If the reactionaries in Florida win, many states will undertake to put this same kind of amendment in practice throughout the land. This, of course, is a curious development in the general attack on labor in these United States. It comes from people who spout all the time about free enterprise and private initiative. What they mean by these terms is, of course, their free enterprise and their private initiative, and the slapping of restrictions on labor to an extreme degree. The fact that they want to make this a Constitutional amendment rather than a law is a part of the general strategy to catch labor off guard in a war year and make labor cooperation extremely difficult by Constitutional act. To be sure, the closed shop does not mean the union shop. Historically, labor has never stood for the coercive closed shop, but labor certainly should have the right to enter into voluntary closed shop agreements if employers wish such an agreement. Many instances arise in the industrial field when the closed shop is a better instrumentality for production than the looser form of union shop or the open shop. To prohibit the closed shop, therefore, is only a piece of chicanery which should be stopped at the polls. Health Insurance Health insurance is taking the center of the stage in the great national structure for a better Social Security Bill. Labor is backing a bill in Congress known as the Wagner- Murray-Dingell Bill which projects a program of universal health insurance, involving medical care and hospitalization. Reports from labor and other sections of the underlying population indicate that the people are generally for a health insurance program. Monsignor John A. Ryan, long known for his sturdy support of common causes, has this to say about health insurance: "Although millions of people who are gravely suffering from unnecessary sickness or from insufficient medical attention, can obtain adequate care only through a system of public health insurance, that proposal is stubbornly opposed by powerful agencies. "Nevertheless, a health insurance act could be framed which would not injure any legitimate group or interest and at the same time would safeguard reasonable individual liberty. The most important provisions to attain these ends would be: first, restriction of the compulsory features of the act to persons with incomes below a certain level, say $3,000 per year; second, full freedom for voluntary associated effort, such as group health projects and cooperative hospitalization. When organized groups can guarantee to their members at least as large benefits as those offered by the public system, they should be authorized to operate autonomously. This arrangement would exemplify that fundamental principle of democracy which dictates that the state should never do anything for the citizens which they can do as well for themselves. Incidentally, it would go far to refute the charge that the health insurance system involved 'regimentation'." Defeat National Service Act John P. Frey, president of the Metal rTrades Department, American Federation of Labor, had his finger on the pulse of American public opinion when he made his notable address over the Blue Network late in February. Mr. Frey hit out emphatically against the proposed National Service Act and showed conclusively that the National Service Act has no need to increase production because production has already reached fabulous levels; it would not prevent strikes, because England under much better labor conditions has had strikes with a National Service Act. Mr. Frey said in part: "There have been strikes, there have been stoppages of work on vital war production. But the essential, all important fact is that over 99% per cent of production has been carried on without any interruption through strikes. The less than one-third of one per cent of interruption has evidently stimulated the call for labor conscription or served as an excuse. Is the authority and resourcefulness of our Government so weak that it cannot deal effectively with the less than one per cent of labor which has been recalcitrant?'* * * APRIL, 139 1944 'Trhere are many vital questions to hi asked if those who are advocating conseription of Anmerican labor. To whom would it apply? Who would administer such a law, and who would make the rules and regulations affecting those conscripted? Would it give the military Complete control over civilian industrila conditions, and should it be the military, would they set np lhe hoards to hear the complaints, the grievances which dlvelop in industry? is it the intention to militarize labor? "Ifr labor conscription would be admiliistcred Ily a civilian Federal agency, wolhl lhabr be given adgquote representation?

Is there reason to belie'e that militarv control of ivlian lahor is advisaide in this hand of free instltutions, or that a bureaucracy centered in Washington can accomplish better results tihan thsse ecuid through ihe splendid cooperation already est aliaished between management and labor?- The Truman Committee of the United States Senate has brought a new note of policy into Congressinnal action. in a time of great change and great confusion, it undertook by investigation to ascertain the facts and to give those facts wlith attedant r,,COinmlndatioons courageously. Laurel Wreath for Truman Its latest report performs an unusual seL'ice by turining tihe face of the committee hardA against a National Service Act. The commiltee points out that the proposed national service legislation is a makeshift which tries to achieve results which could be mori effectivelv attained "by other means that would do less violence to individual fredom." The committee's report also rightfully appraises our mniacle of production during wartime, but points out that now is the time for tightening Luptby the elimbtationr of waste and the avoidance of further hbundo's. It malkes a plea for a sound civilian economy. It points out that "if the home e(nonomy is permitted to weaken and Iose the resiliency necessa3 fror quick anid suceCssCfl ConversionI to peacetimeu otCupatiolls, it will not he able to provide employment for soldier.s and war workers when they are roleased fCorn their preseni tasks." c f The committee differs sharply with the policy the War Department which wishes to tcoutntenance at the present time idle plants. The co mmittee points ttendoeny of workerqs to quit emouit that there ia ployvment in war industries because plants are idle. Civilian goods should be manufactured ait once to reemploy these people so that we will not have wartime unemployment. This will furnish a sound basis for an elficient passage from war to peacetime production. There is a stirring in the field of public opinn that looks hopeful. Out in San Diego, a great war boom city, a new daily has been launched which has the backing of all labor groups. A natiola conmmission has been set up by the Unmyersity of thicago to make a study of the frieedom of the press. Pressing the Press The h.1/b. /ic Moth1y has announced a conlest for tie best article on Ihe freedom of the mess. In short. Americans are not supine unlder the presenit news papi r situation where canined news and editorials are purveyed by corporation-cmitrolled press on a widespread scale. Inevitable, we believe, is the ultimate foutnding if a great Iatb daily hin the city of Washington by trade unions. There is 1io health in a situation where rows is a one-sied proposioh)n, and labor tPlust see to it that the infer mation that is daily received is aeMcnate, correct and out xvritt en with a bias for iig buiIsiness.

Not long ago he swam into ihternational prominence by his apparent friendship for the Duke and Duchess or Windsor. Exit Bedsex Ile had a palace near Berclhtesgade, Hi tler's lhid,away. He was close to the Nazi higher-ups. His selfinflicted death and disappearance are important only as writing finis to a career which aroused bitter olposition of the workers of all countries of the world.

They undertook to util- ize mechanical measures to squeeze the last drop ol cllelgy and ie from employees so that prolits Couli be swolhlen, so that palaces could he built i ni ou ntain fastnesses fr their own pleasure. When Bedaux ran afoul of the law, the Bedaux Company, inc., New York, began to sing a different tune.

Miss Anderson's success story is indeed'one of note. She came to the United States at the age of 16. a girl all alone, fromn her native country, Sweden, determined to make a livelihood. Then because of her great efforts to help working women everywhere, she became the first labor woman in the United States to be made head of a Federal agency.

METAL mE LABEL ADDRESS, G. M. BUGNIAZET, I. S. 1200 Fifteenth St. N. W. Washington 5, D. C. Mm Mo. Vttv ½~~~~~ I.'H -............... H.- -g n -f --.. ....--... ~. -...- The great law of Christian life is Christ's law of love of God and love oftour neighbor, The New Year summons us again to what should be our sacred duty, the fulfillment of that divine law. Like God's great mercy, Christian love is boundless; it extends to all our fellowmen. It does not ask their nationality, race or social position. Inspired by this magnanimous concept, the Constitution of our beloved country protects the personal dignity and the equality before the law of every citizen. Hence racial anta onism or lack of mutual respect of man for man offends both the precepts of the Almighty and the traditions of our beloved nation. Petty bigotry, of whatever kind, contradicts the teachings of Christ and the guarantees of the Constitution. It is the prayer of all men of good will that discord and intolerance, so alien both to the Gospel of Christ and to the democratic spirit of our country, may never gain a foothold in this land. By fidelity to its own heritage of broad understanding and harmony, our country, while fully respecting the worthy traditions of other nations, shall continue to be a blessed example to all the peoples of the earth. 4 WILLIAM CARDINAL O'CONNELL Archbishop of Boston BISHOP G. BROMLEY OXNAM For the Massachusetts Council of Churches I Highs
