AT THE GOLDEN GATE
St. Peter stood guard at the golden gate
With solemn mien and heart sedate.
A shrewd figure came and stood
Beside St Peter so great and good.
"Oh thou who guardeat the gate," said he.
"I have come hither beseeching thee,
To let me enter the heavenly land
And play a harp In the angel band.
"Of me. St. Peter, there is no doubt,
There is nothing in heaven to bar me out;
I've been to servies twice a week
And almost always I rise and speak.
'I've told the sinners about the day
When they'd repent fron their evil way.
talked
to
I've talked to them loud ed I've
them long,
For my lungs are good and my voice is strong.
"You see I've always been content to live
On what the conipies agreed to give.
I've never grumbled, T'e never struck
Ive never mixed with union truck.
"Hlere s a compsay's letter of recommend,
Which I hope you'll read before you send
For the angel guide to the throne of grace
It might gain for mn a higher place.
"And I ought to have a large reward
For never owning a union card,
S.o open, St. Peter, and let me in
Out of this world of sorrow and sin."
I'lve heard of you and your gift of gaba
You're what is known on ear;h as a scab,"
Thereupon he rose to his stature tall
And pressed a button upon the wail,
And he said to the imp who answered the bell,
Eacort this fellow around to hell."
But say even the devil couldn't stand tho
meell
Of a cooking scab on a griddle in hell!
"It would caus a revolt, a strike. I know,
If I send you down to the imps below.

That They don't even want a scab in hell'"

WHEN THE "OLD TIMER" LEARNED)
TO CLIMB
They didn't use safety belts, when the "ld
timer" learned to climb.
They didn't strap themselvesto poles they
couldn't take the time.
They carried the crass-arms up the poles and
lagged them in the gain.
The wires they carried up also, and burried
down again.
They didn't tarry on a pole when they hung
on, with one heel.
They dug the holes and raised the poles and
while resting bucked the reel.
Grnts didn't loaf
around the poles just to
send material up.
The lineman cheerfully did all that when"old
tinmer" was a pup.
They never heard of splicing sleeves and
gadgets we think nice.
They took the old connectors in hand and
served a Western Union splice.
The spurs they used were the western typr
that strapped outside the shin

They slng the praise of the good old days,

But we know there were no "good old days"
when "old tiner" learned to climb.

DRIFT TOWARD FASCISM
One of the astounding indications of the
drift toward fascism in the United States
is a list of the anti-labor bills introduced
in the United States Congress. The nun>
ber is 61.
The report points out:
"When this war ends the return of the
filliies in the armed forces and the
adJustnent of industry from a war to a
consumer basis will create an unemploy
nent problem never previously kimown."
A sharp attack is leveled against the
acts enacted by state legislatures Crippiing labor. The counnil rightly points
out that the "wave of anti-labor propa
ganda ill the daily press assumed dangerouIs proportions it, the past year."

When two or more industrialists in
different countries agree to exchange
technical information and to restrict the
crcumstances under which the nfo.rn.atilon each gives to the other may be used
and exploited, a "cartel" or "international
contract" is created. The word cartel hIs
acquired a sinister meaning because it
is plain that cartels are bad as a result
of at least three factors:
I1) Restrictions on raw material pro
duction contrary to the public interest.
12) Conditions or restrictions imposed
on the use or exploitation of the infermatrion
(3) A long listory of opprcssion and
exploitation of labor.

mnet. These transactions were of a global
character before the word global was
commonly used. While the aun, total of
such corporations an individuals was
relatively small, they exerted enormous
power. This power is still increasing.
DUAL-CITIZEN STATUS
The prime motive of the participants
in these deals was transaction of business
and trade. Since 1920, as international
relations of this character became closer,
the carte] managers found themselves
in a position where their paramount
interest lay in the maintenance of the
connectioa. These individinternational
uals, whether they knew it or not, had
entereld into a dual-citizenship status.

been possible for such ownership to pass
from one corporation through several
changes of ownership, making it almost
impossible to trace the course from, the
original owners. The article points out
that this has gone on until at the present
time Switz.erland has become an enormous
cartel of interna.tinal interests of all
descriptions, and that the stockholders
of these cor-porations-- American, British,
German, French-Araw dividends from
the world conflagration. This is an internationalism of a sort which the protagonists of cartels do not discuss.
An an example of how this irterie
tionalisin operates. authorizations and
licenses have been granted by cermlans
to Sohiss inustries for the sale to the
British of machine tools without which
certain parts for planes could not have
been manufactured in England. But these
sales were Iiade with the express condition that the British would pay in efined

The international carfel in other w.ords.
is all expression of the effort to escape
from the restraints which political
nationalism imposed upon expanding industry. They represent an effort to
restrict production or parcel it out among
the domains of the great trusts. Of
course, the sponsors of the cartels wanted
to make maney, or. in the ease of the
German cartels, to prepare for war. But
the basic explanmtion of caitels is that

of apprenticeship.
In spite of wartime complications. including entry of apprentices into the
armed services, L, U. No, i10 las maintaened its apprenticeship program ard
expects to have a sufficient number inrolled to permit coltinuance of its classes
in related trade instruction it St. Pauli
Vocational High School this fall. Guit
Brissman, president of Local 110, who is
also chairman of the joint apprenticeship
committee, points out that thei action
in fostering a continuance of apprenticeship is in line withthe directire to all
locals from Ed J. Brown, international
president.
BIRTH OF SYSTEM
local Union 110 established its apprenticeship system originally in 193f. It
was then known as the Union School in
which it was necessary for youngo mei
leari. ing the electrical wiring trade t.
attend classes in supplementary instruction. Classes were run by the St. Paul
school system and funds for the instrictors were supplied by the union. At that
time there were no written standards
of apprenticeship, and the related instru'ton provided in these classes consisted
of lcture courses and a discussion of genn the job.
.
erat problems encountered
These classes later came under the p'ovisiois of the Smith-Hughes and George
Despite war conditions
trained men are inducted into
skilled roles
Dean Act.s In that way federal and local
school funds became available for payof teachers.
n
the Minnesota VoIuntaly Appreniiceship Law which follows the pattern of
federal apprenticeship standards, wa.
passed April 21, 1939. In the fall of that
year Local Union 1It appointed its nmembers of a joint apprenticeship comittee
which, together with committee uenilhers
appointed by the St. Paul el'etrical
contractor, began a study of trnthing
standards for vremen apprentices,
After more than a year of study and
work by the joint committee, the set of
writtrn slandards which the, developed
received the approval of both Local Union
110, L. B. E. W., and the St, Paul Oeetrical contractors on April 20, 1941 The
Minnesota Apprenticeship Council added
is approval on May 5, 1941- About 40
apprentices were indentured under the
program. including those who were
new
already advanced in their class work and
under the old plan. These
experienc

latter were given p.roper credit in heour
to apply on finishing their apprenticeship
iilrier the new joint standards of the in lu st Y.
INDIVID)UAL REQUIREMENTS MET

and material of the W.isconsin Schools of

hite d trade trabring, a ranged so that the
appre ntice can start in at the point where
bh ,,d s trahiirig and continue to the end
of the couIne. in this way it fits imdividual
equirenments regardless of whether one
eones. into the program with much or no
kriwledre of electrical work. This course
has proved so practical in the apprenticeship class that it is to be offered as a
regular part of the day classes at St. Pauli
Vocational High School.
Now the extension ofIpprunticeship
standards to the electrical shp rep airIlll iS under consideration. nd al delo
rical shop repairmlen in St. Paul have beconme m.embers of ,ocal 110. If this addition to the present program is successfully negotiated, it is believed it will be
the inst time in the history of the trade
indistry that training in both of
and
these branches has heen included under
one joint coremiite..
All) TO NATION
In line with the nation.s manpower
training needs and the best interests of
the electrical trade, the Joint Committee

1. B. E. W., and the St. Paul electrical
contractors, plans to continue its work
to prote apprenticeship training standands in that indusivis aciordingz to Conmittee Chairman Gust BRissman. The

of making out the work cards until I
union electriciais, and as we did no.
hit upon the idea of paying dues on the
basis of the amount of money earned
by the member. The dues of Local Union
No. 569 are $11.00 per month, and one
per cent of the member', earnings. Therefore, if the member does not work, say in
August, he will only pay the minimum
allowed by the International Office of
$3.00, when he pays his Septenbei due,.
as he pays the August earnings' percentage when paying his September dues, the
percentage being based on the previous
month's wages,
There have been meally arguments from
areawalltmembers who are now in this
Pig a flat rate per month for dues, but
all members who have become ae./uainted
with our system If dues do not want to
go back to the old system,. The percentage
is the big

private electric atility field.)
AST month we discussed in these pares
the tremendous growth of the private
electric powe.r industry between the
first and second World Wars, We noted
the manner in which the utility company,
the employees who work on its properties
and the comieanity which it serves all
have mrtnal stakes in each other.
We observed briefly sonm of the changes
in economic
structure and internal or-
ganization which have occurred in the inoldding Condustry as a result of the
pany Act of 1935, then turned to an examintwion of the working relationships betweeun an operating electric company and
its employees, as exemplified in a typical
labor agreement.
In the electric power and light industry
the INTERNATIONAL BROT H E R HIOO D OF
ELECTRICAL WORKERS is by far and away
the largest employee organization. The
Brotherhood embraces every phase of the
power industry, from the erection of lines
equipment, through
and installation of
the generation, transmission and distribution of current to the final billing and
crediting of customers.
In addition to its size and its all-e,bracing coverage, the 1. B. E. W,, because of its age (dating back almost to
inception of the industry itself)Col
the
of its long eperience in dealing with labor relations, is also the most stable or
ganization of workers in the electric utility field,
This month we wish to turn our attertion to the roles played in utility employer-employee relationships by three topics

Drift to The report of the Executive Council of the
Fascism A. F. of L. to the A. F. of L, convention
in Boston indicates that 61 bills have been
introduced in the United States Congress, offering
crippling restrictions on labor unions, This is only
one indication of the drift toward fascism in wartime
of this great republic. Despite the fact that everyone
who can read knows that attacks on labor unions are
an index of the state of democratic feeling in any country; and despite the fact that the United States has
viewed the spectacle of Hitler and Mussolini trampling
unions under foot, the United States Congress has
seen fit to receive 61 crippling bills.
There is something in wartime psychology that always tends to stifle freedom of speech. Men fear, and
when men fear, they tend to retreat back to old slogans
and old ways of doing things. The loud talker and the
professional patriot are given an opportunity to cut
their capers and to establish artificial and shallow
standards for the measurement of man's contribution
to his country. Because of this psychological reaction,
it is a wise nation that knows how to steer its ship
of destiny into the turbulent democratic channels and
keep it there.
The Electrical Workers Journal believes there has
been a lessening of the democratic spirit in this
country during the last three months. We fear that
this reaction will increase. We have confidence in the
heart and spirit of the American people to right itself
and return to democratic ways.
One of the reasons that the United States
was able to perform "the miracle of production" during the last two years was
our tremendous concentration of machines in industry.
But this same concentration of machines has presented
a problem of unemployment to America for the last
20 years and will continue to present that problem.
Elliott R. Sands, one of our members in Portland,
Oregon, faces this problem in the following words:
"I read with considerable interest the first two
editorials in the September Electrical Workers Journal.
These are the first articles I have read in any labor
publication which approached the subject of unem-
Machines
and Men
ploymenl, I c hological and otherwise. during and
after this war program. It ties in very well with a
recent irpo't
of the U. S. Department of Commerce
in which was pnedicted an unemployment figure of
b9,000,000 workers by 1946, due to technological development. This did not include the returned anred
forces. Corp(a'ute enterprise was unable to supply jobs
for the army of unemployed during the lean years of
1930-36 and they will be unable to supply jobs in the
postwar period, due to these same technological trends.
"I have been a member of the I. B. E. W. for approximately 25 years and have watched labor lose
the battle against technology. I feel that some solution
is needed al once. I have always considered the
I. B. E. W. the most advanced of any of the unions
and now is the time for them to really step out in
front with soric real constructive action."
The amazing transformation of the German
people into a nation of savages is dramatized
in contrast by the fact that a monument
has been built in Washington, D. C., for Baron von
Steuben, German, who gave his services to the American army as chief drill-master. He was born, of all
places, bi Prussia and came to New Hampshire in
1777, and offered his services to the United States
Congress as a volunteer. The next year at Valley
Forge, when American morale was at its lowest point,
von Steuben began to take the inexperienced soldiers
and train them into fighting men.
Von Steuben wrote a book entitled "Regulations for
the Order and Discipline of the Troops of the United
States," and sat on the court-martial which convicted
Major John Andre as a spy.
Interesting enough, von Steuben died in New York
State at Steubenville. lie was living there on a pension
granted to him by the United States Congress.
What a story this is of devotion to the ideal of
liberty. In 1777, not even Prussia had developed the
bitter anti-human philosophy that the Hitlerites now
exalt into a religion.

Thomas C, Blaisdell, Jr., formerly of
the National Resources Planning
Board, now with the War Production
Board, writes in the New York Times:
"While preparation for rapid conversion is essential
so that unemployment can be reduced to a minimum,
there is no doubt that the need for an integrated
system of social insurance will be accentuated during
this period. Even during the full employment provided
by war there are millions of civilians who are dependent on public provision for their daily bread. The
major risks of life-old age, unemployment, disability
and sickness, and family dependency-can all be provided for by ato adequate system of social security.
Attacks on
Social Security
NOYEMBER,
1943
When the costs of fighting a e ar have been Iif ed rorn
the backs of the people, they can better afford lt
security than at any other time. The advance provision
of an adequate systerm adjusted to p1oph1 retu rndng to
civilian life from the artmed fores an(d to those released from war industry is still to he aet> nplished."
Despite the reason that lies behind Ibis Imint of
view and despite the need for social in stamc ib a
ctIuntry where technological advancemnt m'
nejui ¢
rapidly, clandestine attacks are going forwardl ever?
day against sociat security as it now exists i order
to head off any reforms Of the system. These attacks
are uSually based upon half-truths or quarter-trutis.
For instance, one chain of newspapers is insphling
fear by claiming that the wage records kept by the
government might invalidate pension benefits to those
covered I5 the insurance plan. There is, of course, no
truth in this statement whatsoever but the unwarranted attacks have caused hundreds of thousands of
inquiries at the Social Security Board offices.
Physicians, too, have organized to create the impres-
sion that any health insurance program as advocated
by the American Federation of Labor will fasten state
medicine upon the United States. This, too, of course,
is an effort to deceive and defraud working people who
need insurance coverage.
About
Strikes
It takes time to catch up with lies. The inpression created by the daily press that
American labor was engaged in sabotage in
the war program with strikes is being slowly dissipated by facts. For example the Corps of Engineers,
Army Service Forces, reports that on its six-billiondollar construction program during the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1943, strikes amounted to only 2 100
of one per cent. Can any other section of the con,munity match this record of labor in this particular
field? In all of 1942 the ratio of strike man-hours lost
to hours worked was only 6100 of one per cent, which
is almost nothing. This was under the voluntary ilO,strike pledge.
l)espite this magnificent record the Smith-Connally
bill was enacted to prevent strikes and it certainly has
had the opposite effect.
National
Just as there has been confusion in the
Service Act public mind about the effect of strikes
in war production. there has been confusion in the public mind on shortage of labor. Actual
facts cannot be produced to prove that there has been
a total shortage of labor in the United States,. It is
true there has been, a shortage of certain crafts. It is
true there has been a shortage of men in certain war
production areas. Indeed the true issue behind the
497
so-called inlnpower shortage is One of poor managetrent on lhe part of the natioual War Manpower
Commission and not an actual shortage.
The danger, of coupse, in thi; hotched painting of
the War ManpTo wer Comminssion is, it is going to be
used jo inroeduce in Congress a bill for a national
service act. Labor does not want a national service
act for niatry reasons, chief of wh ich is, it is not needed.
At no time in the last two years has there been danger
or an invasion in this country. The United Stales has
a margin of time in military operations that Great
Britain has never had.
The Four
Decencies
For some time labor in the United States
has felt that there could be an implementation of the four freedoms in terms of
nations, states and regions. Now the British Trade
Union Congress has undertaken to do this with British
labor under tle term "the four decencies."
According to a dispatch by David Anderson to the
New York Times the four decencies are a little closer
to the average man than the loftier four freedoms.
"The average Briton wants a decent home, a decent
job, decent education, decent social security which
means cash to pay the doctor and an independent old
age."
Mr. Anderson goes on to report that what the
British people want is as plain as day. On the question
of the four decencies there is to he no compromise.
Incentive
Taxation
A resolution has been sent to the American
Federation of Labor convention which is of
interest to all American citizens. It is on
incentive taxation: "The federation recommends the
principle of levying higher taxes on corporations and
individuals who leave their money idle and lower taxes
on those who promptly use it to provide employment
as an incentive to full postwar employment by private
enterprise."
It has been frequently pointed out in this Journal
that the American taxation system is in a hopeless
muddle. There has never been a social philosophy
underlying our taxation syslem. It has been a patchwork thing reflecting somewhat the changes of public
opinion over a period of generations. The trend has
been largely away from taxes on real estate and
property toward taxes on income. The incentive taxation plan originated by Clarence Ilazelett, an electrical
engineer, does take a social point of view. Mr. Hazelett
undertakes to apply the principle of single tax to
money. People who hoard money in banks ought to
be taxed heavily. People who invest money or put it
to work to give employment are to have lighter taxes.

particularly those under I6. ate in j.ib:
that are not essential to the war effort
and offer little training for usefuless
after the war.
It is quite easy to understand why so
many of our children are anxious to work,
In the first place they feel that they arie
helping in the war effort, and in th second, they are filfilling a normal dieslire to
earn their own money (which eincentally

bright and promising, but what of tomorrow? That picture is not so inviting- a
scarcity of jobs and a great niany young
persons, untrained and uneducated, will
he cla oring for those that are available.
Times will have changed and tlhe employers' natural reaction will be, "Sorry,
things are different now. No education
no job." Mothers, think what a, tremendous price your children may have to pay
far a couple of years' good employment
at good wages-a lifetime of inseurity
and frustration overpowered always with
the feeling of being a misfit. The brief
present-weighed against all the rest of
their lives, That is a snbject not to be
passed over lightly. There are other considerations to the problem also. It has
often been said that education is the most
can envaluable gift with which parents
dow their children. You may not have
blessed theni with good physical appearance; you may not have money to ,eave
them, but these things are passing after
all, and if you ,e, that they get a good
education, you will have given themn a gift
that no nan can take from them and
,omething that will probably enable themi
to get out of life the most of the things
that really count. Another point--keeping

] sometimes wonder. after Ilisteln, to these
heated
qlieussions
at
labor
ceun'etII~hns,
i[
we re not wasting
our erley
g andI breath by
eIttcizirig the eleted re-preseatliLi'es in

ain nly blffers
hjetween the people wh actually coIItruol the

people who try o work amil

The
we
,ooner
turn our attention Tf the
ita nnfactares' asso.iations and
hnardsof
trade anld seruthinze with gre. Ilr car, their
"siggebtlons" to our rhv~tfiflefts the sooner
we will win this war and prevent any fur
the, massacres in the future. Of course this
igilante will ha.e t< Ihe
inIitaileil tile
world ever because capital, as we have known
it, neve- had any fixed natiouMity or Iligi..
Another feature of the cuntctat.i)a
that
ilipre'%ed [lmewas the difference of op'nlio..lU
between the old French Can.alilLa dilegates
antI the younger generation of habitant
declegates.
Various
roenaluiens
wore
iniu
ducid b3 orgniiatiot
outsiide of Quebe
with a view to raising the standard of living
of French-Canadian workers. The nitfrence
that their living eonditi..s were a.n
worse
than Ihla f man'y other parat of Canada
was protested by the older residents while
i wa
oneur'red in by their younger oI..
foresl.
Both sides agreed, however, that in
the niatter o organization Quebec had plelty
of rool. for ipcroemer.t. I think tile other
plrayImoe< will agree that in this respect they
could all put a greater effort i lto rn ggin
the unorganized.
I again had the pleasure of

Editor: It seeIs that Presidet Curt Due
ain of Local 1214 (Mandan- Bimarekn is the
owner of a steam roller. Perhlmp~s the reade rs
are
Indnlering wh.t a steam roller i ldoing
in the ranks of the I,. I. E W.' It's a long
story, but we will try to condneot
t, steam-roller is tot the hi l used to
pack pavement or roadbeds, lJut ihe kinl used
to make some poor Brother the goat when
it conIes to paying the check. (Perhaps we
,h.uld get Brother Chernich to epaini.i
When, we hav a new 'nenIber all sinied up.
we have a steak feed bI .ur tit .e.thlig
thereafter. This is where the steam-roller
comes in. It takes ear. of the ititiation
and the check.
The same method wat tHrId on Brother
laosn aind yours truly for a fish dinner
after we retturne fron our vacation to the
lakes. It looked e though it had filfleId an
Brother C(ur had a saIvage coIlector giv
him an estimate on the contraption. How
ever, we did give them the fish
feel.and a
very nice one at that, hut not until another
Brother promisen a pheasant feast luring
hunting season. (By the way. Brother Curl
had to have his jaw reaet, It dropped a f.nt
when he saw the fish.)
Perhaps we can give out
aime 'ery good
news in the not-too-distant future. We liave
several ]itt]e matters in the fire that should
materialize very so
One

At the close of the trainling period the apprerntice is examined by the examination

board also ineludes a representative of the

NOTICE!
HE tremendous gains made against
Ttuberculosis are in danger of being
wiped out. Crowded housing, abnormal
eating conditions, overwork, and all the
other by-products of war can give the
dread TB a new lease on life. We found
this out in the last war. Your help is
needed, urgently. To carry on the year's
fight against TB, we rely on your purchase of Christmas Seals. Please send in
your contribution today, as much as you
can give.
