FARMS AND FACILITIES FOR RETURNING SOLDIERS AND SAILORS.

By George .1.. Berry, President International Printing Press­

men and Assistants' Union of North America..

The Secretary of the Interior, the Hon. Franklin K. Lane, has initiat{'d and given life to the most important after-war m{'asure yet to be considered by any of the governments of the Allied Nations, flnd that bas to do with t.he subject of the reorganization of American agricul­tural life through the establishment of a system for the placing of returning sol­diers and sailors upon the farm.

The plan contemplates the establish­ment of approximately a million homes and farms for our returning soldiers and sailors who desire t6 take advantage of the proposition. It is estimated that each fGrm, the house and facilities will approximate in valuation $15,000.00, and upon this valuation it is estimated that the soldi!'!' will be required to pay not more than one or one and one-half per cent until he, through his own initiative, has reclaimed the property through sys­temme-tical payments to the government. A period of years will be given to him for payment so that he may ultimately come into sole possession of the farm and buildings and all of the facilities established by the government.

Another important feature presents itself in the fact that the community­plan scheme is to be made effective which will render possible the economic

development and the scientific operation of the farm. An expert director in agri­culture, fruit-growing and stockraising will be assigned to a given area, who will disseminate practical information to the occupant of the farm. It is intended and proposed that the states shall pro­vide the lands in addition to the govern­mental domains, and the government is to build the houses, roads and all essen­tion. tials for successful agricultural opera-

Tl-tis great and far-reaching economic scheme that means so much for the fu­ture stability of our country is the result of the untiring efforts of Secretary Lane. His sympathy for such a meritorious and humanitarian undertaking is unques­tionably largely the result of his life­long association with the International Typographical Union and his honorary membership and association with the Int.ernational Printing Pressmen and As­Rif-tants' Union.

The importance of this meaRure must be obvious to everyone. Its success will be due largely to Congressional action. Secretary Lane has the concept, but favorable consideration by Congress is of great importance. Every person in­terested in the passage of this bill that means so much to the workers of this country in the matter of the cost of liv­ing and the future prosperity of our na. tion should write to his Congressmen and Senators, urging their support of this proposal of Secretary Lane.

• EDITORIAL • COLLECTIVE BARGAINING During the past few months, a gre.at A LA ROCKEFELLER. deal of effort has been put forth by a

certain class of employers, to establish what they term "Collective Bargaining" (?) between e'mployer and em­ployee. These efforts have been given wide publicity by the manufacurers' association, and the question is being generally asked, by the uninformed­have those great corporations who have been so indifferent and hostile to their employee's welfare in the past at last experienced a change of heart? Are they beginning to realize that "Collective Bargaining" is the sane, rational and practical method of adjusting matters between capital and labor?

A study of the subject and methods proposed, discloses reasons for questioning the sincerity of purpose of those who have shown recent solici­tude for their employee's interest, and also shows a great variance of method between the system of "Collective Bargaining" proposed by this class of employers, and the system which has long been advocated by the trade union movement.

The plan adopted by certain employing interests is patterned after the so-called Rockefeller Plan, which was instituted by John D., J L, following the Ludlow :'Iassacre. The preliminary and final influence that brought about its acceptance was the leaden oratory of machine-gun fire, that shot misery, fear and death into the ranks of the employees of the Colorado Iron and Fuel Company.

However, the employers who are now trying to install the system, are using somewhat different methods. Instead of machine-guns, they are endeavoring to win their employees by gentle sophistry, deceit and vague reference to our mutual interest.

How the Plan Works.

The employer most magnanimously consents to allow the employees to select by popular election ( ?), under supervision of company agents, such as superintendents, foremen, strawbosses, etc., representatives who may take up grievances of employees with their immediate superiors. Fail­ing in adjustments, the employees' representative may then appeal in writing to the company's manager, or some other "higher up;" who will review the case; his decision to be final and binding on all.

\Vhat a beautiful chance the employee has to obtain a fair and equit­able adj ustment of any meritorious grievance. The possibility is more remote than the probability of a democratic government under Bolsheviki rule in Russia, and can only result in bringing about industrial unrest and rebellion in the ranks of the workers.

The causes that have influenced employers to such a course are many and varied. Space will not allow detailing them all. The three principle reasons are:

First-The almost universal determination of employees to' combine into labor unions, and the desir~ of employers to prevent such organization by a substitute plan they can control.

Second-The practicability, in fact the manifest necessity of collective bargaining.

Third-The violation of agreements and the disregard of governing

2.0 THE JOURNAL OF ELECTRICAL

laws on the part of unions, which have caused employers that have been dealing with their employecs through the trade union methods, to oouht the responsibility of such unions, therefore, coming- to the conclusion that some other method is necessary if industrial peace is to prevail.

It is regrettablc that those responsible for the management of somc organizations of labor have such little respect for their own laws and agreements, that they openly violate them, and as a result bring discredit upon the labor movement. Such conduct only results in weaning away from the movement, public sympathy, as well as creating suspicion and distrust in the minds of those employers who are inclined to treat fairly with their employees, and recognizc the labor movement as a suitable agency to carryon negotiations through.

Real collective bargaining can only prevail by employers dealing with their employees through responsible labor organizations. Once an agree­ment is entered into, both parties must respect its provisions in letter and spirit. If we hope for respect and sympathy from the public for the movement, we, ourselves must show respect for the obligations which our laws and agreements provide. By following such a policy, the labor movement can, and will easily discredit the advocates of the Rockefeller plan, or any of its offsprings.

Trade unionists should ever keep in mind that a violation of contract is playing into the hands of the common enemy, who in many instances schemes and plans through their underground secret agents' (who are very often the leaders you put confidence in) to cause strikes and industrial strife.

To avoid such situations, every member should realize the responsi­bility that goes with membership in a union, and they should watch over the interests of the union, and not allow some one else to do all the think­ing for them.

There is little for organized labor to fear from organizations formed by employers, as they fall of their own unfair practices.

The greatest danger confronting the movement is the failure of the individual member to display the proper interest in the organization, that stands between the toiler and industrial slavery.

The sooner the rank and file of organized labor awakens from their apathetic indifference, the quicker irresponsible leadership will be elimin­ated, industrial harmony established, and the schemes of designing employ­ers curbed.

MORE PIRATES.

N ow that the Electrical Worker has by his affiliation with the Railway Employccs' Department and through a long line of battles scc:ured somcthine- like a dccent wage scale

for the linemen and signalmen on the railroads'; we find that suddenly the 0. R. T. that had no usc for them before now arc busting their suspenders to claim jurisdiction over the telegraph linemen and repainnen and are making a ,vonderful drive on them, having nothing c!sc to do. Pretty soft, aftcr another organization has gotten the conditions for them. But the lineman or repairman should know that be is an Elcctrical \V orker no matter whcre he might go to work. But the O. R. T. card is only good on a very few railroads and no backing hehind it even therc.

The Railway Signalmcn are putting on the same drive after the 1. B. E. W., got the first real wage scalc ever obtained for signal men. The Brotherhood of Railway Signalmcn of Amcrica, a wildcat organization that secured a charter ovcr the protcst of the Electrical Worker on the plea that they wanted the mechanical signalmen. The combined cfforts of these two can not blind the lineman or the signalman as to who pro­duced the results for him, or to where he really belongs. In the 1. B. E.

I II J: 1 \

WORKERS AND OPERATORS 271

W., he has every other Electrical Worker on the system right with him and behind him with all their strength and also direct affiliation through the Railway Employees' Department of the A. F. of L., with every other mechanic of all other crafts on the system.

The O. R. T., and the signalmen are not affiliated with the Railway Employees' Department and can not look outside their own locals for support.

If the lineman chooses to be the backbone for the other fellow to lift with, that is his bad luck.

Come \vhere you belong with the 1. B. E. "V.

R. R. ELECTRICAL We have received many inquiries relative to plac­WORKERS. ing locals of Electrical Workers on railway sys­

tems without obtaining consent of existing local unions whose jurisdiction the system may pass through.

It would be manifestly impossible to organize the railroad electrical worker if no charter could be issued until consent was obtained from every local uni.on along the lines of the system.

The railroad electrical worker must look for all his support to the sys­tem federations and Railway Employees' Department, so must be in a local covering the system as part of system.. All other crafts have railroad locals and insist on the electrical worker being organized likewise.

This question has been brought up at the last two conventions of the Brotherhood and laws passed without any opposition providing for rail­road locals. The reports of officers stating such locals had been organized were approved by vote of both conventions. The laws of Railway Em­ployees' Department demand it and as there is no other course open to us we must continue to organize such locals on the various systems as the need for them is shown.

TELEPHONE The committee on wage and conditions appointed by SITUATION. Postmaster General Burleson has now made their report,

or reports as the case might be, to the Postmaster General and it is to be hoped that some action will be taken by him on the reports submitted that will provide machinery to handle labor grievances. We dare not predict at this writing the result, but it should at least indicate the course to be followed in order to arrive at a result in the future.

If your word is no good your bond will be questionable security and will sell below par.

Correspondence

L. v. 111'0. 1, S'1'. LOVIS, :MO.

Editor: Our meeting Jan. 7th was sure a regu­

lar, before the war meetings packed to the door with hardlY standing room. We will have to get a larger hall.

Local No. 1 has been swamped with traveling cards, and as Government work around St. Louis stopped the same as other places it isn't reasonable to figure that there is work here. I understand the Executive Board had notified the I. O. to insert notice in the Worker that we have many members loafing.

One important th.ing that Local No. 1 took up at this meeting was to conclude arrangements with the St. Louis Brass 00., whereby uur men would return to work. The men will go back doing the same work that they were doing when they went out last April, with the increase In wages .and uvertime the other fixture houses are ,Paying. 80 this will serve as notice that the St. Louis Brass is fair again to our or­ganization. Brother always look for the label in fi1.turp~ from Rt. Louis. They should be there if not please notify Local No. 1.

A telegram was received during the .meeting announcing the death of E. V. Higgins at Petersburg, died Jan. 7th. Brother Higgins had to quit work as fore­man on the schoo. board's force se7eral years ago, and go west for his health. He 'made a hard fight and tried both Colorado :and Arizona climates, but the grim reaper 'had his say.

Local No: 1 was also called upon to mourn another brother, who was known too, and remembered for his help to many brothers now scattered over the country. .John J. Mauson served the Brotherhood for many years in many different capacities. Among them Business Agent and President of Local No.2, Business Agent of Local 1, during the split, and also president and at one time was an organizer for the Amer­ican Federation of Labor. He also had at­tended conventions as a delegate.

Jack was always ready to fight for things he thought were for the betterment of his fellow workmen, which turned out to be as it has been for many others in Local Xu. I, a bar to making a living at his trade.

Mauson's last pOSition was with the Woodward and Tierman Printing Co .. who were very oonsiderate with him until it was ne('l'ssary to send him to a health resort, wh~re he lingered for more than a year. He often wrote back hopeful letters. Mau­son sure deserved a better worldly reward and h('ritage for his bereaved wife and son. A man on the other side of the fight who would work as hard for his oorpora, tlon, spent his nights and his money for Its inter('st would have estates and insur­ance to leave his family.

We have heard of the wonderful home that the Moose have for their member!! and families. Why isn't the I. B. E. W. 'large enough to have a National Home for its mpmm,rs, who beoome unable to ''hit the ball." Probably younger In years than the majority of other walks of life.

Erue Dennison has returned home from his services with the Canadian forces over

·o!Iea. John O'Mara started over sea and was

some 200 miles out from New York when his ship was r~called. He is now back to St. Louis and discharged. Dan Murray ha. also returned. They all look fine and have put on weight.

Geo. Klutho has been transferred from Georgia to Gen Hospital No. 26, De. Moines, Iowa, as an Instructor.

Organizer O. E. Jennings is reported sick In a hospital at Rock Island, Iowa.. with 8.Il attack of appendicitis. :r. B. Hayes,

Editor: Your work is laid out for you and you

are doing well. The object of the publica­tion is being carried out by you. The L B. E. W. should be proud of their Journal. The Press Secretaries should see to It that letters arrive in time for publication. There is much news and good suggestions In the poorest letter I have read. I am so situated that, in order to earn a lively­hood I can find but little time to mix with myoid friends and brothers of No. 1. I am employed twenty-eight nights per month and as all meetings are held during my hours of service, I of neccesity am ab­l<ent. I am as proud as an old man can well be to know although out of sight 1 am not out of mind.

Many of the brothers have sent me sea­sonable greetings and from many parta of our country as well as from the war zone, I have received cordial greetings. Some were really agreeable surprises. From Washington, D. C., New York City, Boston, Denver, San Francisco, Engla.nd, France and several of the battleships. Al\ of the same terms and some of instruc­tive value. Under existing circumstances I am unable to acknowledge each as I think would be becoming. Through the Journal I desire to thank all and express myself as always ready to serve The I. B. E. W. or any member. As I have no news to impart I will end by wishing the I. B. E. W., yourself and all members a. prosperous and happy new year.

Yours fraternally. Baldy.

-------L. V. NO. 4, NEW OlloLEANS, LA.

Editor: Another year has rolled around upon our

great Brotherhood and finds us stronger and better than ever we were in our his­tory. The year of 1918 just passed has been a glorious year for our members be­cause we have made great strides in get­ting new members, and also in getting in­creased wages and better conditions all through the United States. It behooves the G. O. and the members of the Brother­hood in general to keep up the good work and not lag or let any opportunity what­ever pass us by. We can reach the highest pinnacle of success only if we continue to work in the interest of the Brotherhood in the fl!-ture as we have done in the past.

Durmg 1918 we lost many of our brave boys on the battlefields of France and Belgium. Many others of OUT Brothers in this U. S. of A. died from illness of one sort or another while still others died whilst pursuIng their occupations and In

the performance of their duties. They are gone fronl us forever never to return but, they are not forgotten and to their relatives and friends this great Brother­hood extends its sincerest sympathies on their loss which is ours also. May none of us have any S0rrows during this coming year is the wish of the writer.

At our December meeting this Local elected and installed the following officers to serve us for this term:

President, Juo. King; Vice-Pres., Ed M. Smith; Rec. Sec'y., Dan W. Mason; Fin. Sec., Geo. Larrick; Treas., .Tames Howley; Foreman, C. P. Williams; 1st Inspector, 1+'. Barback; 2nd. Inspector, J. Magner; Trustees, W. J. McCabe, C. P. Debneys, J. Meyer. Delegates to C. T. and L. CouQ.cil, R. L. Reilly, F. Bulger; _\Jternates to C. T. and L. Councll, H. Dubreys, J. Y. Mil­ler. Executive Board members are .Tnl). King, Ed M. Smith, Dan Mason, Geo. l,ar­rick, James Howley, L. Brumly, J. V. Mil­ler, F. 8pies, Ceo. Walters, Press Sec'Y. Ed M. Smith.

,"ve feel that the above officers will ~Ide us straight and true and will keep our Local in the front ranks of true Un­ionism. Now that you members of this Local have honored us so highly by electing us to these high and exalted positions we would respectfully request that you honor us with your august presence on meeting nights and also by giving us your undi­vided attention and support. Otherwise a house divided against Itself is bound to fall. So come to meeting Brothers. At our last meeting No. 4 decided to move its quarters from Maccabees Hall, 1014 Canal St. to Electrical Workers Hall, 715 Union street. No. 130 has a lease on the hall at the above address and all Locals of our Craft will meet there. It Is nicely fitted up and has all accommodations. The con­vention committee has requested of me to notify all Locals and members who wish to write them to address all mail for the convention commttee to 715 Union St., New Orleans, La. We have selected the convention committee to 715 Union St., quarters and the St. Charles Hotel con­vention hall will be used as ours during the period of our convention. So that in Sep­tember, 1919, all roads will lead to New Orleans and the St. Charles Hotel.

The writer is a member of the conven­tion committee, but has been unable to at­tend to the weekly meetings for some time back on account of not feeling so well. Brother Swor arrived in New Orleans and organized the Powerhouse men into a Lo­cal of their own. Brother Swor is a hus­tler alright and is always on the job. I am so sorr:l- I was unable to see more of Brother Swor than I did and be able to help him. I will say more of Brother Swor in lilY next letter as there is no praise too much for him for he had a real compli­cated job of It when he undertook the or­ganization of these Powerhouse men. It would have taken a lawyer to unravel the case, but Frank Swor cracked the nut and got to the kernel. We had been trying to organize these men for the past twenty years. More about the new Local later.

With best wishes to the Brotherhood and Its members, I am

Fraternally yours, Ed M. Smith,

Now fot a little news. On Thursday, Dec. 5th, we agreed to accept a proposition from the companies, that a raise of 28 per cent would be granted and that all the employees would be re-employcd at their former positions and no discrimina­tion to be Shown, which virtually meant recognition.

The employees recognized that this prop­osition meant that the unions would be intact and gladly accepted the plan, and on Friday December 6th, the Companies re­fused to allow the operators tb return to work, so the men refused to return unless all returned. So locked out we are. and the companies are doing everything In their power to break the strike, but to no avail, al!! the employees are remaining loyal to the cause. Bros. Noonan. Boyle, Broach, Slattery, Long and other G. O. men are in bere doing their best to settle the trouble, and they have the matter up with Wash­ington, so we look for a settlement here next week. The matter of finances is bother­Ing us now, as it costs so much to live and It is no small matter to tlnance about :.000 people during the kind of weather we have here. Any way we are doing our level best, and to the writer's knowledge. the people here are certainly doing all they can to aid In this trouble. I have never seen a more loyal bunch of union people, and they deserve a great deal of praise for their showing. To refer to the Post Office Department. I have learned that laws were passed for the purpose of preventlntr picketing, prevention of Inter­fering with any strike-breaker in any way, as the Federal District Attorney gave us a hearing on this law, and up to date 14 of the members have been held over to the Federal Courts and are out on $500.00 to $3500.00 bond. The Trades and Labor Assembly of both cities are planning on mixing In the matter, and we may have !I. general strike here In the near future. Well Mr. Editor I guess I have taken up a lot of space. 80 will close, with best wishes to all for a happy New Year and also with thanks to those that have as­sisted financially and otherwise In this fight.

FraternallY yours, I. I. (Casey) Woodard, Fin. Secy.

Editor: If I am not speaking out of my turll and

can gct by the censor I will depart from the usual custom of the average press Recre­tary and will put across something th~t I believe ought to interest e"ery member of this Brotherhood, and that is that we make thiR organization a Brotherhood in fact as well as theory.

I am going to suggest that we adopt a univerf'al \\"age scale, a universal initiation fee, and a unh"ersal card that iF: good in any local in this Brotherhood, whereby a man with a paid UP card by depositing same in a local union's jurisdiction, will be per­mitted to work at any branch of this trade as long as he is able to hold up his end of the job, without compelling him to run the gauntlett of an examining board. Once a man takes the obligation we should not al­low any restrictions to be thrown around him that will prevent him from working anywhere.

This is convention year and I believe that every right thinking man should look the issue square in the face and see to It that every man gets a square deal as guaranteed under the constitution. Send men to the next convention-journeymen, workmen to make laws for the men who do the work and eliminate as delegates, the profes­sional delegate, the soft paw, and lilly fin­gered element, who go for the joy ride that Is in It or to throw McNulty out or to keep him in with the result that the next three months after the convention adjourns every local in the brotherhood is trying to ratify or upset what the convention done.

The man on the job who does the actual worle is the only one who should have any­thing to say in making the laws that we should work under. This is the only way to stop the discontentment that exists, and the sooner the bonified journeyman workman wakes up to this fact the better It will be for us. These are only my opinions as to the best way to right the wrongs that I know exists and If it meets with the ap­proval or disapproval of anyone, get in the waters fine.

If this comes under the observation of Brother D. C. Bock of Philadelphia, Curtis Hays of Stockton, Calif., and Brother Felix of Seattle, just remember that lowe you a letter.

Work at present Is !!lack, although most of the brothers are working, but by all Indications expect a A"ood year.

Don't forget Hartford has the eight hlgh­e!!t office buildings In the world. The Tr!l.velers Insurance Companys' new build­Ing, 34 atories, 575 feet high. done by union labor throughout as all work of any con!!eQuence In Hartford is done.

Editor: On Jan. 7th, Local No. 38, held its annual

smoker and open meeting, and undoubtedly this was the most successful entertainment that No. 38 ever hcld. No. 38 has always held these meetings and have always had great success. but Tuesday night's affair was the greatest ever witnessed by a body of laboring men. The hall was packed and about 600 of the Brothers attended. There were several out of town Brothers, includ­ing Brothers Jones and Hughes of Loraine. Men outside the organization present were, Joseph Bowen, General organizer for the A, A. of I. S. & T. W., Brother Andrew Hughes, International President of the International Coopers Union.

A fine program was presented, including speakers of the finest talent, music and re­freshments.

Brother Hughes opened the meeting with a fine talk on organization, and urged all members to help in the present campaign in organizing the men in the Iron and Steel Industry.

Judge Manuel Levine, long recognized as the friend of the laboring man also gave us a talk and showed us how if we wanted to reap the benefits of the great struggle just finished to get the Industrial and Political Democracy that was due us, Judge Levine said in very straight-to-the-point words that if organized labor does not hang to­gether we will hang separately.

Ensign E. F. McDonald, representing the U. S. Government, and Otis and Co. Stock exchange, Mr. McDonald delivered a mes­sage from the Government and asked that the men in the Labor movement that were holding Liberty Bonds to hold on to them and if they had to sell them to get the highest price for them and he warned us against Liberty Bond sharkers that w~re preying on the Laboring man and buymg his Bonds for less than the price.

Mr. John Kline, Local No. 38 attorney and one of our best friends gave us a talk on Political Democracy.

Our old friend Max Hayes, the editor of our Cleveland Citizen Labor paper, gave us one of his best talks ever delivered. We have always lool,ed forward to the talks that Max gives us, but on this occasion the old Roman covered himself with honors.

After the ",peaker had finished refresh­ments were served by our efficient commit­teemen, and everyone expressed themselves as having been royally entertained.

Brother 'Valter Selby was the lueky man in the drawing of the Chalmers car, but we feel sorry for Brother Selby if he keeps all promise", to take his friends for a ride.

1.o('al XO 3S if; going along in the uf;ual way and things are good, only the Building Trade", at the present are a little slack, and there are a few of the Brothers out of work, bpt thif; can always be looked for at this time of the year.

The Maintenance section and the Tele­phone me'1 are growing stronger every day, Il.nd the organizing committee ~hat is working in this section at this time is putting pep into the men and they have all taken on the job of being individual organizers.

Cleveland pretty soon will start on the construction of the New Union station on

the square and that is going to make the trade pick up considerably.

Brother Frank Sweek who is working with the committee in organizing the Iron and Steel 'Yorkers has visited us several times and has made a number of friends with the boys and they all like to see him come around. His little business talks have done us a great deal of good and we only wish that the Brother will be in this sec­tion for some time to come. Brother Sweek has been instrumental in getting a number of men in the Steel Mills to join the Maintenance section of Local No. 38, and his talks at the Massachusetts meet­ings that are being held are always looked forward to as an educative lesson on Un­ionism.

'Yishing all officers and members of the I. B, E. W. a happy and very prosperous ncw year, I remain

Fraternally yours, Basil H. Ayer.

Editor: Greetings for a Happy and Prosperous

New Year to the Brotherhood at large. The annual election of officers being con­

cluded, I will first submit the results ot L. U. No. 39.

President-H. Davidson. Vice Presidept-1.. P. Morgan. Recording Sccretary-P. Eidelman. ];'inancial Secretary-H. Derolph. Treasurer-B. Sutherland. Inspectors (One)-l\L J. Flanagan. I.'oremau-'Vm. McCarty. Trustee (One)-Dick Bevington.

. Delegat('s to Cleveland Federation of La­bor (three)-H. Derolph, N. Davidson, J. A. Moore.

Press Secretary-M. W. Palmer. The meeting election night was well at­

tended which makes one wonder lit it wouldn't be of some good to have an elec­tion every week. It might produce a bet­ter attendance. Let's try it.

Conditions are not what they should be in this district owing to the lack of am­bish on thE> part of most of the organized workers.and the meekness of the unorgan­ized worl,ers. Some body has prophesied that the meek shall rule the world, but It such comes to pass it will be after the other kind get through with it and we don't want It then either, so why this meekness. Will they ever realize that all they have to lose is their chains? It looks as though the height of their ambition (if you can call it ambition) is to try and hang on long enough to get the price of a coffin, and make their get away for tho promiflcd land.

We, the F]lcctrical Workers, should be the best org,wized craft in the labor move­nlf'nt and we could if the brothers would only tnke some interest in the organiza­tion and get busy on the unorganized not for a week or month but until we have reache,l the goal of a one hundred per cpnt organization. There is too much of the "et George do it" spirit among us,

I would like to suggest that the tele­phone and telegraph proposition be taken up all over the country and a working agreement be decided on by the brother­hood at large, then submitted to officials at 'Vashington. The wage question could be submitted to cover say four different district", as we all know wages must be governed by living conditions which are not the same the country over. Let us hear from some of the other locals on this and also from the 1. O. as to what they think of the proposition. Above all let us get going while the going is good.

This being my first offense, I will ask

280 THE JOURNAL OF ELECTRICAL

you be lenient for whatever wrongs have been done. Thanking you In advance, I remain

Yours fraternally, M. W. Palmer, P. S.

L. l1. 1'1'0. 45, B'UFFALO, 1'1'. Y.

Editor: After an absence of nine months, my

being out of town working on one of the cantonments I failed to have a letter from Local 45 in the Worker, and as I have been asked the reason why by a great many of our traveling brothers, who have had their cards in this local some time or another, why don't yoU write, we miss your letters. Of course I told them being out of town I was not posted on what was going on, so as I am back in the harness again I will have at least one more letter in before my successor Is elected.

Work in and around Buffalo Is not very plentiful at present. A number of the mem­bers are walking the streets, so it would not be advisable for anyone coming this way looking for work.

Two of our members passed away with the fiu, one died of tuberculosis, and one died of disease somewhere in France. Fol­lowing are the names of our departed Brothers, Wm. Lumley, Edw. Kessler, .James Udell and Private Arthur 1. Byers.

Our meeting nights have been changed again to the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month, and we also have moved into a large and better hall. We now meet at the Engineer's hall at 667 Main street.

We will hold our annual card party and dance in this hall on .Jan. 22, 1919, full par­ticulars will be given of the dance in the next issue of the "Vorker.

It seems funny to me when any of the or­ganizers of the Brotherhood are in town they seem to forget that Buffalo has a local of linemen, or at least they fail to put in an appearance at the meeting. I wonder why? They will come in here and put in new Locals and never ask if we have any objections, but we must turn over our members to them. Why can't this new Local become a sub-local of 45. However we will see how It works out. It has been just brought to my attention that Brother Frank Derlin is very low in the hospital. Here's hoping that he will soon be around among again.

Following is a list of our new officers that will man the ship for the year 1919. Let all the members of 45 get behind them and push with a will. "Boost, don't knock.: President, Byron Earl; V. Pres., H. H. Stick­ney; Fin. Sec. and Treas., R. N. Zimmer­man; Rec. Sec., V. B. Skaggs; Foreman, .J. R. Darison; Inspectors, W. Carr and W. E. Wedgery; Trustee three years, G. E. Brock; Executive Board, W. R. McLean, A. Cun­ningham, B. Earl, M. .J. Crakley, .John Chandler, W. E. Wedgery, V. B. Skaggs; Delegates to central body, W. R. McLean, A. Cunningham, V. B. Skaggs; Business Agent, A. Cunningham, 307 Law Exchange Bldg.

On and after .Jan. 22d, 1919, our Initia­tion fee will be $25.00.

Now that the war is over I presume that Resolution No. 29 passed at the Atlantic City convention, will now be put into ef­fect. We hope so, for the sooner the Old Mother Bell is brought to her knees the better it will be for all concerned. Wish­Ing the Brotherhood every success, I beg to remain Fraternally yours,

Editor: I desire to draw attention to the fact

that Kansas City, Mo., is still on the map and comes back with a new number and

almost a new local, for those who do not know. several months ago we changed our number from 356 to 53. 'Ve are here to stay. We have taken in two hundred new members this year and still going.

The telephone section of No. 53 Is bravely standing up under the opposition that the Telephone Company are putting in their way. The boys are a little slow in seeing the light but our worthy presi­dent and members are hammering away at them, and every meeting brings one or two new members. Some of the old members are coming back and determined to stick and good husky fighters at that. We expect to increase our membership and will make it interesting for the Tele­phone boys, and any Electrical Workers who wants to do the right thing. We are going to boost our initiation fee up ten dollars ($10.00) the first of the new year. The Brothers are tending their new meet­ings more regular and best of all they are getting so they are on time with their dues, and they always find Brother Rob­berts on hand with his hand out to re­ceive their little bit. About all of our members are up and around again after being laid up with the "Flu". At our last regular meeting fifty members being pres­ent, and it is heginning to look like the members are taking an active interest In the meetings. "Veil guess I will pull the switch with best wishes and regards to members to old 356 wherever you are from. The boys at home are trying to make conditions good for your return. Hoping this does not go to the basket route, will say good night.

Fraternally yours, C. W. Emery,

L. '0'. NO. 55, DES MOINES, IA.

Editor: Suppose the best excuse for our si­

lence at 55, is on account of the "lIu" coupled with our busy session with the Bell boys, and it seems both have done well. Several of the boys have had a siege of the lIu, but all seem to come out al­right, yet they all tell the fellow who hasn't had it to be careful for it is no com­pany for a gentleman to keep.

Brother Torkelson, who received a broken leg from a fall about two months ago, is now down with typhoid-pneumonia, and Is in a serious condition, but Ole has lots of nerve and can put up his part of the fight and we all hope he will pull through O. K.

We have initiated quite a number of Bell boys, and have some yet to get, which seems to be a hard job, yet we are still after them.

Some of the brothers went out on the Milwaukee job at Hyat, Washington, and some recently went to Camp Grant.

The government is discharging lots of soldiers at Camp Dodge every day and for this reason work around here doesn't seem over-plentiful, but Iowa claims she is go­Ing to boom after April 1st, which I think it will, and If it does men will be in good demand.

It is perfectly natural to believe that a reconstruction period must also take place at home as well as in the battle scared na­tions of Europe.

Many ut.ilities companies have done little work during the past two years on ac­count of the scarcity of men and material, but they can get the material by spring and its sure if they don't do the work that their lines won't work on the ground.

It Is my opinion that things will start in the spring and go for a long time in ver) good shape. Well anyhow business hILS picked up here. Both kids crying. See you next Worker. Fraternally,

L. IT. NO. 66, HOlTSTON, TEXAS.

Editor: The end of the war and the shutting down

of all the Government work has brought all of the members of Local No. 66 back home, and it has brought quite a few of the old timers through Houston. Word and con­ditions are just fair with the members of Local 66. The Light is working quite a bunch of men, but outside of the Light there is not much doing.

Some of the boys on the Light job called the attention of the B. A. to the fact that they had some 100 and 120 ft. poles to hil,e and they also said they should have more money for hiking them. The B. A. looked over the job and he decided he would not climb them himself and if any of the Brothers did they should have double time so he secured for the Linemen that had to climb them double time, giving the men $1.50 per hour.

All of the members that are in the ser­vice and whose address was known was remembered by Local 66 on Christmas with a box which contained eleven different ar­ticles. We hope they all received them in time for Christmas. Local 66 Is still try­ing to organize the telephone job and while they are not making much progress they are not going to stop until they are or­ganized 100 per cent. It is no easy job and the members all realize it and they have prepared themselves for a long and hard job.

The Locals in the different parts of the country should see that the Electrical 'Vorkers in the oil fields are organized into the I. B. E. W. The Oil Field Workers meet in the city of EIPaso and formed their International Union. They are going to see that every man in the field carries a card, and we should see that the Electri­cians carry an 1. B. E. W. card. For if we don't organize then the 011 Field Workers will. As this line of industry is a coming one and the Oil Companies are going to electrify all of the fields It Is up to us to do our part and get and keep what belongs to the Electrical Worker. The Headquar­ters for the 011 Field Workers is going to be located at Ft. Worth and Brother Bob Evans has been elected President.

As my time Is getting short I will close for this time wishing the .Electrlcal Workers success and a happy new year.

Editor: Local Union No. 69 wishes the Brother­

hood a happy New Year. Business Is a l!t­tIe slack at present; but we expect work to boom in It few months. The oil fields are making lots of work and we have a good job with the Western Union. That may sound funny, but the foreman says "let me see your ticket." There are only about four or five cards on the Bell job at present, but we are waking up and I ex­pect something to happen soon.

We wish Brother Broach much success In the Twin Cities. His results there will mean much to the l!nemen everywhere for the same ruler that rules there rules ev-­erywhere.

Election was held last Monday and the lineup looks fine with W. R. Clark. Pres.; W. J. Cox. Vice-Pres.; W. R. McMahan, Rec. Sec., and H. Warrington, Fin. Sec.

With best wishes to all Local Unions, I remain Fraternally.

L. IT. NO. 74, DANVILLE, ILL.

Editor: The Railroad Electrical Worker hM at

last come Into his own. after years of low wages, long hours and bad conditions of

employment. Through the efforts of Or­ganized labor he is now enjoying condi­tions that he never dreamed of.

The writer of this got into the railroad game in May 1918, and is able to see the great results obtained !;>y the wiremen, shopmen, cranemen, statIOn men, signal men and linemen.

Shortly after Supplement No. 4 was is­sued by the R. R. administration and the C. & E. I. R. R. refused to pay it to a part of their men, the writer representing the linemen, Brother Eagle representing the signalmen and Brother Lyons of the Int. office took the matter up with the R. R. company with the result that we had to place the case before Adjustment Board No.2, from whom we got a favorable rul­ing in November. This deciSion acted as a precedent for all other roads and today I suppose all signal men and linemen are working under Supplement No.4. If they are not they should at once take the mat­ter up with the International office.

The award is retrotractive to Jan. 1st, 1918, and quite a number in fact a ma­jority of our men drew their back pay In a lump sum amounting to approximatly $750.00.

This should make every man who works for a r~ilroad in the Electrical game, no matter In what department get busy and at once get into the I. B. E. W. where they be­long. Some men are going into the Broth­erhood of Railway Signalmen, but they have no chance of representation as only organizations in the Railway Department will have any chance of having their grievances tal,en care of. A word to the wise should be sufficient. Get into an or­ganization that can take care of your affairs.

Another matter that has come to my notice and that is lack of funds with which to carryon our work. We should at least increase our per capita tax 10c per month, we can all stand it and it will give us the funds with which to reach the unorgan­ized man. We have 15,000 signal men and linemen that should be reached at the earliest possible moment, so that we may be in a position to hold what we have after the railroad question is settled.

Fraternally, E. E. Hoskinson.

Editor: I do not think that anyone but the I. O.

knows that there Is such a thing as Local 76, but there is, and you can take it from me that it is some Local Union at that. ,Ve have about 275 members and the most of them are real live ones, and we have some real live officers picked fot the com­ing year, which will be installed at our next meeting. Our monthly Vice-Presi­dent will represent Local Union 76 at the conference Jan. 14, and look out boys he i~ a live wire and he is out for business and if there is any business out he is going to get it. Local Union 76 is full of those kind and we are making some progress. 'Ve are just like a big family at our meet· ings. No more rough stuff goes, we are all for one and one for. all, and we are going to use this as our motto from now on.

We are brothers and we are going to be brothers, and have a little real live union­ism in our Local Union, and I think we will be a leading star within a year, and by the way we are making plans for an educa­tional policy, which we expect to start to rolling in the near future, and we are going to educate some of our new brothers to the real fundamental principles of un­ionism. I believe that this course should be pursued in each and every Local Union in the country. Teach the new members what real unionism is and make real union men out of them.

Before I forget I want to mention that

282 THE JOURNAL

we have two fonner Brothers who have decided. to cast their lot with the only scab shipyal'u \ve have and they have a due $100.00 fine and expelled from the Brother­hood. Their names are C. G. Fralick. for­mer member of Local Union No.6. FriSCO. and LOll Juhnson of Local 1Jnion 76.

\\-ork is not so rushing here 110W as it ",-as, hut \VC have very bright prospects for the ncar future. For instance there are plans on wa~' to start a $1.000.000 Hotel within the next six or eight weeks and several other smaller buildings. also the foundation eumpany is planning on an 8-way steel yard if Uncle Sam will let them have steel. which I am sure will go through all O. K.

Thanks to the A. F. of L. for the way they rendered the decision on the Crane d.ispute. \Vo Electrical Workers of the northwest feel that it was not a square deal to us, and are not at all satisfied, but I believe that it will all come out in OUI favor a little later on. Here is hoping so. \Vhat is the matter with Local Union No. 265. Their Press Secretary must have eloj)€d with the flu. My advise is to fire, the one they have and hire him over again, and maybe he will do better.

Talking about flu, we have had flu until that is all you can hear or see, and we still have lots of it. Local Union 76 have had several members down with it and. several deaths in the families of mem­bers and it is still raging all through the northwest. \Ve were closed down for seven weeks with it, which put us behind con­siderable for it prolonged a new wage scale seven weeks, and by the time the flu ."~ttl,,d down so we could hold meetings, the armistice was signed, and the bosses said what is the matter with yoU dam fools, don't you know the war is over? You can't get eight bucks now, but we did just the same. \Vhen we all packed our little tool kits to the shops and said its all over­no pay no work, it did not take them long to pay, and everyone went back to work happy.

Well Brothers, I will not tell you all I know this time, for if I do not get fired

from my job as Press Secretary, I will want to have something to write 'next time. But at any rate if I do get fired I

wont give Local 76 any rest until they ap­point anuther one.

Here is hoping all the Brothers a happy and prosperous new year.

will try and let the boys know what Local );0. 36 is doing. ,Ve elected new officers last Tuesday night. As follows: Presi­dent, A. ~I. Baker; Vice President, J. E. B. Vincent; Recording Secretary, J. Brown; Financial Secretary, \V. P. Reynolds; Prcss Secretary, your humble servant, F. C. Pou­ell. \\'e have also changed our meeting from Friday night to Tucsday night and our hall from 1813% N. 2nd Avenue to Ben Hurr hall, 1809'% N. 4th Avenue, where all brothers will find a welcome hand if he is in good standing with the Brotherhood. Our local has made a big improvement since we changed halls. We have taken in several traveling cards, also several new members. There still are sev­eral to come, but for some reason fail to do so. There is very little work here at present and we are overrun with travcling brothers that have been turned loose on the Government works. So would not advise any brothers to COme this way expecting to work: for it is not here. \Ye are also expecting some trouble here in the near future. as it has been rumored that the contractors were going to try and cut wages, and we can't stand for that now the way living expenses are here, regardless what a man makes, it takes it all and then some to live. Our local had several brothers to leave here while there was so much Government work going on, but most of the old boys are coming back.

"Veil brothers, as I have been down sick all the past week, will have to ring off for this time, wishing all the Brother­hood a happy and prosperous New Year.

Editor: As this is the beginning of a new year,

I will endeavor to start 155 out on the right road. Owing to the outcome of elec­tion of officers here last meeting night, this will be my last article for some time, but will say that the brother elected in my place is well Qualified for the job so you may look for some interesting letters from 155 during 1919.

The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, M. R. Ga.I­lian: Vice President, Fr. \'ibite; Financial ::-'ec'retary, O. A. ""'aller; Recording Secre­t:try, Bill Nelson; Treasurer. J. O. Miller; Trustpc, C. E. Custenborder; Press Secre­tary, N. I. Sommers; First Inspector, H. A. Cha.wley; Foreman, F. S.

There is nothing of excitement going on here now. All of the boys are working.

\Vo have some real winter weather here now and a good deal of ice with it. The boys over at the street car have bcen get­ting plenty of overtime and I see Mother Bcll has some low lines laying over in the fidds out of here and very few line­mpn to pick It up. We got most of the bunch lined up and as soon as the com­pany found it out the big lay oft took place. so all they have is a few old block heads to run the school for linemen up there. they make em. while you, all the foremen have to do is place his order and the instructors gather up some youngsters

•

WORKERS AND OPERATORS 283

and take them to the pole yard where they have an 18 foot pole set and the school is open.

I believe tr.o,t now is the time the la­boring class should be getting their heads together, becau>;e with the coming recon­struction I am very much afraid capital is gOing to try some of their old tricks and we want to be prepared to come back at them strong enough to make them sit up and take n()ti~e. There is one thing certain t1H'y are not going to give in un­less we can stand pat with our' backs against Ow wall, ,;(, I<'t us unite ourservcs as we have never been before and give a r:we for their money, that will not be forgotten for some time to come.

So it is a hard fight to try and line them up.

Well I guess this is all I have on my mind for this time, so wishing I. O. and the entire Brotherhood a Happy and Pros­perous year for 1919, I remain,

of late, account of sickness in the family. The "Flu" is also taking it·s toll of the population in this part of the country. and Local 205 has had the misfortune to lose members, and relatives of members, which are mentioned elsewhere in the Journal. Other members have been sick with the "Flu" but at the present writing are back to work, and we hope the epi­demic will pass over without further in­roads. Our President, Brother Ryan, was confined to his home for some little time. but at present is O. K. again, and back on the job.

Representatives of the different cran. met at Salt Lake recently for the pur­pose of forming a Federation on the Union Pacific. Local 205 was represented by Brother Christie. Have not as yet learned what took place, but understand the meet­ing was a Sl.K!cess.

Everybody seems to be prosperous on the railroads. and we look for a good year ahead. There is considerable talk of pre­war passenger trains being returned to the service, although nothing authentic as yet.

Will close for this time. and try and let you hear again next month.

Fraternally. W. E. Smith. Press Secretary.

Editor: Bishop Potter tells of an incident that

occurred at a negro camp meeting. The presiding eWer had a voice like a fog-hom and used it to the full in exhortation. "Lord" he prayed. "give us power! Give

us, Lord. power! We want power, oh, Lord! Power I., what

we want-

More power! Give us power we beseech thee."

"Elder" came a voice from the seats, "yo' IS shuh wrong,

'Taint power what ;yo' need, bu' 101 .... " Hotten isn't it, d-rotten and old too.

I really don't think much of it myself but I also run out of ideas and had to u~e it -yes, it does help wonderfully In tillin;r, up "pace.

Any way we wish you all a Happy Ne\v Y(~a.r, and prosperous one also----:rna .. y this approaching year be to you as 01<1 1~H; wa!'! to us, chuck full of prosperity.

No douht the conditions confronting us during 1918 were general, throughout the country, due mostly to war industry.

The sudden declaration of peace (which we had all longed for and celebrated largply upon its arrival) stopped suddenly se,'eral jobs each of considerable size which were not nearly completed, much to the dissatisfaction of Quite a few visit­ing brothers who possibly had contem­plated rcmaining with us for a longer per­iod.

Our contractors are once more in the lime-light since general construction work is no longer termed non-essential. May the Lord grant some of them less power and more ideas also, especially those that solicit work at 80 eents per hour, while our scale is 68 ~~ cents with quite a num- . ber of the boys receiving 75 cents.

Speaking of peace celebration our way, can say that we left nothing undone. As old Cincy always has been and we hope will continue "Over the Top" in everything she undertakes. I met one of our boys in a certain cafe the morning on the day a.fter our main celebration-his appearance suggested he had indulged too freely, I ap­proached him and inquired as to how he felt. "Fine, fine" was the reply. "Drunk three days, yesterday. today and tomor­row."

I don·t suppose you think much of that one either-but if I ever get a hold of a real good one I will put it across, and you can tell me what you think of it.

I hate to recall momentous of by gone days, but several years ago if the close obFlerv{'r of the "\Vorker will remember we boasted quite a bit over the fact that a certain building which was then being started would at some future date be turned over to our city as our new court­house. 'Ve all appreciate that Rome was not built in a day and I suppose that ap­plies to anything under construction. We Sincerely hope when the time comes, that our grandchildren will dedicate this beau­tiful piece of work in a befitting manner, and may they bear in mind one thought above all others that it stands as a monu­ment of the efforts of our county commis­sioners who expanded every effort for the rapid completion of same.

n is with much regret that we enter in this issue a statement concerning the possible death of Brother Rus~ell Black­ham. Declared officially by the U. S. War Department as having been k!lled in ac­tion we are stUI in hopes that new!! may reach us of a mistake being made and that he is still among the living. A more defi­nite statement concerning same w!ll be pubUshed in the next issue of the Worker.

Again wishing all a bright and happy New Year, we remain.

ture. We are sorry to say that we have "lost one of our good local workers which Is Brother F. E. Proulix, for he has tak­en out a traveling card. In the past year he has held many offices and served on the Executive Board, Trustee, By-law Committee, Press Agent, and as Organ­izer. So you can easily see what a great loss the local received, but hoping that he will be as good a worker for the Brotherhood, no matter wherever he stops. Local 258 wishes him a happy New Year through the Electrical Worker.

I am very glad to say that the tele­phone employees in Rhode Island work­ing for the Providence Telephone Co., are organizing very rapidly for we are about 99 per and we expect to go over the top very soon.

With the election of officers for the new year, there is not a doubt, that things will be very interesting in the local, and AS for the new entertainment committee elected this year, just wait till they get <2Itarted for the sky is the limit and then some more.

The things in the line of work are very discouraging at the present time, but the future ahead of us looks very promising and If the things that are planned work out alright, why the little capital of the east will be a very busy place which Is Providence in little Roddie. Everybody is happy, There is no doubt about the bout, that the

Kaiser is knocked ou t For he took the count of ten For the licking given to him, By the 26th Division Men. Three cheers for the New England men.

May their names be placed on the 'rec­()rds of History for they helped to lick the Hun.

Editor: Well Wichita, Kansas and L. U. No. 271

is not asleep. We are having serious trouble with G. W. Bell Tel. Co. We have about two hundred operators on strike since December 14th and are doing all we can for them. We are paying them $10.00 per week to keep the courage up as you all know this is no trifiing affair, as you know this strike means life or death to Telephone Workers in general.

'Vork in general here is fair. 'Ve ex­pect to keep going till spring with what men we have and then we expect a rush of work. Inside men are receiving their 87% per hour. Linemen receiving $5.00 "er day and Highline work almost com­pleted. 'Vill close for this time.

L. V. NO. 292, Ml:NNEAPOLXS, MDfN.

Editor: Just a word or two to let the boys know

that 292 is still on the map. We have been taking in new members thick and fast and 292 is now better off, financially, and in membership than she ever was.

The telephone situation here has given ·a lot of concern, but we are gOing to do what we can to back the ops up. We are 'taking our hats off to Brother Couver, who is a railroad electrician in 292. This' is the boy who spent 24 hours a day lin­ing up the Railroad Electrical Workers, 'and Is bringing them in a ''Heluvarate'', ·or to use better English, he is doing some 'Very fine work, indeed, and is a very tlre-

less and ardent worker for the cause. Brother Broach has almost worked him­

self to death on the telephone situation, and if that doggone man don't let up a little bit, he will have to be taking shots in the arm pretty soon to keep him on his feet. He is almost a walking ghost from hard and tiresome work.

Conditions in Minneapolis are none too bright, and would advise fioatlng brothers to keep a few miles away from' Twin­Cities right now. 'Ve have a lot of our boys back from the Eastern Construction Camps, and quite a few of our boys are out and coming out of the service every day now. We have a bunch on the not working list so have got to hustle around and try and get things going. The out­look for next Spring looks fairly good but it is dead right now. '

We have found quite a cute little stunt for getting good attendances at meetings. Our regular dues have an extra 50 cents attached to them if a member does not attend at least one meeting a month. If one meeting Is attended the 50 cents is taken off making it straight dues.

Brother Chas. A. Anderson has been once more elected Business Agent, unanimously which speaks darned good for old "papa. Anderson" and believe me boys, he is 100 per cent on the job.

There is only one sad epistle In 292's letter, and that Is, we have lost a few of our boys in the fight for freedom and democracy, and believe me, brothers, the boys left back home, and those that come back are going- to put up the toughest fight for freedom here at home that we ever had. We have in due honor and re­spect for our fighting brothers, bought a beautiful memorial, with their names in­scribed upon it, and it will always be on display to those brothers of the present and those to come.

With best regards from No. 292. Fraternally yours,

Editor: Garment Workers Union appealed to us

tonight at our regular meeting for moral assistance, after the daily papers here re­

\fused to print a notice to the effect that they were out on strike against Unfair con­ditions.

They are absolutely justified in their grievances as we see it. Therefore the fol­lowing resolution adopted by us will be presented to the daJly papers subj.ct to their acceptance or refusal, enou~h money accompanying same to pay as advertising if possible:

Whereas. the employees of the Kahn Tailoring Co. are on strike as-ainst unfair conditions.

Whereas, the strikers In exercising their rights as American citizens in doing peace­ful picket duty, and whereas, it Us reported to us that the police have without cause assaulted and arrested two stnkers with­out provocation, and whereas, we cOD.l!ider this act on the part of the police a.s sheer brutality. Therefore be it

Resolved, By the Electrical Workers Un­ion No. 368, at their regular meeting as­sembled, though we condemn such act by the police and that we call on the city mayor to put a stop to such action by the pOlice, and be it further

Resolved, That we pledge our moral and financial support to the striking workers of the Kahn Tailoring Co.

Signed Committee: Alfred Short, E. C. Ruby, F. R. Barker, M. Birchfield.

Brothers, I believe it the duty of every organized worker to advertise these things and give any aid possible because of the

fact. an injury to one is the concern of all. We will have to put our shoulders to the wheel for one another. Every time a fel-10\\" worknlen loses, it weakens our 0\\-'11 positio!1. Everybody get a little glue and it,t us stick together.

Editor: If Ex-mayor I~e\v Shank was auctioneer­

ing the eity of Indianapolis to the highl'st bld,jpr. and TIobert 1. Todd had offerer! the high""t prioe, would the present Mayor Jew-ett? To those of you who d.on·t see the joke. I would advise you subscribe for "The IndianapQliR News," that way yQU will get a "Joke" daily.

Pardon me Brothers if I appear a bit breezy. but I just blew in-my last dollar (I paid my dues.) As I was the longest winded guy in the hall I outran the other candidate and in spite of the cigar anti cigarette smoke was elected Press Secre­tary and as such I take pleasure in intro­ducing for your approval, the chaps who are going to take the "Nap" out of In­dianapolis. but maintain the "poles" in same at what we hope to be an ample com­pensation for the clothes we wear out and skin we lose in doing it.

At the same time we wish to place In­dianapolis. Ind .• on the I. B. E. W. map in the form of Local Union No. 368 I. B. E. W., and furthermore it is .our firm inten­tion of keeping it on that map. if we have tQ move somewhere else to do it. We want to ,do something to gain notoriety besides just having the fiu.

We have practically all our fighting ahead of us yet, but as the majority of us are married and in good training we are bound to win-the single fellows all being familiar with the lock step saves time.

We have just installed new officers for the coming term, but will not bother you with a list of them this time. Will have them all rounded up in the county jail by the next letter. thereby saving separate ad­dresses.

If anyone should happen to want to know our present wage scale please notify them I only had two weeks in which to write this letter and that isn't time enough to cover all the different prices paid here just now. Hope to have a different report soon. as we have had a man here from the war board investigating our conditions. 'Ve are confident of a square deal if we have to force it.

We are having some trouble along the discriminating method. several members have suffered some inconvenience on that account-yours truly one of them, but we die hard. always a paid-up card in our pocket. Don't think v.""e are losing, we­haven't gotten our "Irish" up full height yet. The job I lost is still covered by a card ma.n. There is always a card man ready to step in and carryon the fight. We havn't got a closed shop yet. there is still some bootlegging from wet states.

Brothers. we came to you as a new and young organization, which we are. as a No. 368, but there is one thing we wish to call your attention to, as members and fellow workmen we are not young and green.

The majority of our members are war scarred veterans who have stood up and fought as well as sacrificed for the great principles involved in organized, workman­ship. and will do it again.

We hold the GoOd given privilege of con­trolling our own destinies. We maintain we are not slaves to capital, to come and go as they will it, at whatever compensation they wish to give. but we are their brothers in business-absolutely as necessary to the world'lS progress as they, and as such de­mand the recognition due our value.

Co-operation is the keynote of success.

"\Ve must at all times recognize the no:c~~­sity of having capitol and fin>tTl!'e to fiJr­ward and business. At the same time they IIlust also realIze and recuguiz.e tlH'ir ab­~·olute helplessness without labor to carry on the work.

\VI:' are not in this movC'mcnt to promot" any sel1ish ineas. but for tho bl,ttl'rment of conditions for all mankind. it is onr only J'{"()tl'cti(lu against graft, in unity thpre is :-;( r""~t h. Tht'n Brothers. let us all unite un,Jer one lr..~ader. stand firm and strong for wl1at we are justly entitled to--a home and ,,~l the necessities that go with a wcell or­dered life. and don't forget old age. But I don·t want to do all the talking. I might get ,,,"ouud up and forget 1.0 run do\\'n.

The idea I wish to convey is simply this, Loeal Union No. 368, 1. B. E. 'V .. Indianap­olis. Ind., is composed of perfectly capable members. all of whom are with you until the last dog is dead.

You may depend upon us at all times te> the extent of our ability as it is our earn­est desire and sincere aim to so live that when we come to cross the darl, river o~ d(>ath into that great mysterious beyond. all our fell"w workmen and Brothers even the undert~ker will grieve to see us go.

As thlS IS our first letter we desire te> wish you each and everyone a happy. pros­perous new year, and may all your troubles be little ones.

Editor: The Powder Plant is about a thing of the

past, but we are still doing business. 'Ve have about forty members still on the plant. In the last two months we have or­ganized the Telephone Co. here. All of the telephone men but two or three have cards and we are going to get them and make it one hundred per cent strong. We still have a membership .of over two hundred men. Work is dull here now, but it will pick up in the spring. '

We have lined some of the telegraph men up here and we are going after better conditions for the linemen for they have the worst conditions here that they have anywhere. It l.ooks like that they have wakened up from their sleep that they have been in these many years.

'Ve took in about three hundred new men last year; took in eighty Nov. 13, that was about the time that we made our one hun­dred per cent vacation on the Powder Plant. For the benefit of the men who worked on the Powder Plant, I will say that the War Labor Board has not made a decision .on the wage scale yet, but said that they thought that they would make one soon. Whenever it is handed down I will put the deCision in the ~Worker. I wii! ring .off until next month.

Editor: The members of L. U. 589 have been

looking for a letter appearing in the \Vorker from their Press Secretary for some time now and as it is again comln~ round to election of officers, I won't dis­appoint them before being fired. This lo­cal has done quite a large amount of work in the initiation line this fall having put through as many as 31 new members at one meeting and increased our member­ship by about 75 per cent or more. We also have over fifty sisters which is some­thing new for 589. Of course we had the assistance of I. V. P. Brother Ingles and to him a good bit of the credit is due. Also thanks for his assistance in organizing the telephOne men and operators, also the Inside wiremen. On Labor Day this local won the shield and first prize for the best

dressed local, (Oh no we didn't have the sisters with us then) also shield and first prize for the best float (union) in parade, also had the pleasure of refusing prize for best float (open) in parade, the boys deciding to let this go to the commer­cial end of parade. Our local meetings have been disorganized lately owing to the Flu epidemic. However we have got go­ing again. I am sorry to report the loss of three brothers, who were all taken by the "Flu", If any brother knows the next of kin to the late Bro. "Vm. Roberts, any Information along this line, will be appre­ciated by this local. The majority of the brothers were on the sick list during the last six weeks, but now that the epi­demic is about over, we are looking for a larger attendance on Friday evenings. In the November issue of the Worker, under heading "Around the Circuit" it is stated, that the linemen and metermen of No. 589 had been granted an increase by the Light & Power Co. The boys affected are not aware of it, however if the party respon­sible for statement appearing, will send on further particulars as to when same was granted, they will take much plea­sure in drawing extra rate also outstanding salary. Well as far as the city of Sas­katoon and No. 589 Is concerned, our new agreement is drawn up and has been pre­sented to the bosses, but has not come up before the Council as this doet: not usually take place until the new Council takes hold at the beginning of the year, so you will see by this, that our Increases are granted at New Years (sometimes a month after), but its a go from the 1st of January. The brother" A,nil "j'ltprs of L. U. No. 589, extend to all sisters and brothers the compliments of the season and hope all will be able to celebrate a real old time Christmas now that the world war has ended with victory for the Allies.

We have a membership of twenty mem­bers. We have had our charter open, and have taken In quite a few new members, and there are still a few who do not un­derstand the benefits of organized labor, But we are after them, and hope to get them In the near fu ture. Some of those have been members of our local before. .

We have had some Interesting meetings. All the boys seem to be working around this neck of the woods. Brother H. Brooks, who has been stationed at Camp Dix has been honorably discharged, and will be on the job by the first of the year.

L. 11, NO. 652, LAKE C011NTY, D!fD.

Editor: Greeting for this bright and happy new

year. You notice my salutation to the brothers

and the world at large is in the positive. Yes we are growing, growing. Get in the game with us, for we want all of you to share and share alike in the "Greatest Na­tion of Nations" prosperity of the new year.

Now that our boys are coming In from over the sea as well as at the camps, you may expect some real fighting as you are well aware of the fact that they come out of a field of victory. They will therefore demand better, safe and sane conditions In a new field of victory, so get busy and get them in If they are not already carrying a card.

I am happy to say the new year already as early as we are into It, we are getting some valuable information that will serve us well In the near future. We are now quite above the 2,000 mark and each day we have a member bring in a member and have them signed up' and call for additional ap­plications, so you will readily understand why we are growing so rapidly day by day, for each member Is dOing his bit and some of our hard workers are doing his "two bits."

Our very energetic and efficient business representative, Brother W. P. Lavin, hall been fortunate In securing the services of a valuable assistant, who Is now looking after the Hammond, Ind. office and also one for the Gary, Ind.. which gives him much more time In the field, which, as we take In the entire Lake County, Is very large.

Now brothers, our boys are now begin­ning to come back from their patriotic duties over seas, It Is our duty to care for them, so get out your best smBe and !l;'ive them the glad hand of good fellowship, and you will be surprised to find what mir­acles can be worked with the above same Implements. So get busy and be ready to welcomtl their pal or even many of them, whom he has told of the good qualities of the little green card.

Now get together, one for all and all for one and lets fight the good fight and when the year has again rolled around let It not have found us wanting.

Yours Sincerely and fraternally, Press Secretary,

Editor: Just a few words for the .Tanuary Is.ue

if I am not too late, or the Editor refu.es to print the advertisement.

Old .Tack Frost Is busy In this territory now and consequently, while he I. bu.y,

some of our members are Idle, but we are In hopes that old Jack will travel farther north soon, or in some other direction, tor under the present high cost of living, It Is almost necessary for the boys to work steady in order to get the usual three-a-day and a place to flop.

At th,-· l)resent tirne I ,\'uultl not advise the Travelling Brothers to expect too much, if they happen to drop in to see us, for we have some members out of employment on account of the cold weather, and of course it iR natural for us to help the Local boys first; so all I can say is we will try to do the best we can for all, but don't expect too much.

The outlook for the coming BeaBon .. very bright in Lake County, and if the un­expected does not happen we will have a bettcr season in 1919 than we had in 1918. \\'e nearly doubled our membership In 1918, and got an increase of wages from $6.00 t<> $7.00 per day, so if we better our record this year we will still be able to say that we are among the Top-Notchers, as far as wages and conditions are concerned. We have not decided yet if we will ask an in­crease in wages this year, but if we a.sll for $1.00 per hour yOU can rest assured that we will get It, or some one will know that they have had a h-l of a fight to keep us from getting what we deserve; for we have the Mechanics who can do the work and they also are Union Men and will stick to the finish for what is right.

Now I will give you a list of the officers, r9~~: will guide 697 for the coming year

L. 11. !fO. 716, H011STOJl', TEXAS.

Editor: Having been elected again Press Secre­

tary, I will try and :!!tart the new year right. New offlcers were elected for en­:!!ulng term. Brother Smith, who ha.s served as President for the past four years de­clined to run and Brother A. V. Potter walJ elected President. Brother W. .T, Peters wa:!! elected Flnancla.l Secretary. Thera were quite a. few changes In the otflcers of Local No. 716, which :!!how In the Rooster.

Local No. 716 has had thirty-two mem­bers In the service and most ot them are over there. There has been six of the members that were In the service dis­charged and have returned home. The fol­lowing are the members that have re­turned up to date: Brothers .T. C. Bayley, Rdl!"ar Woods, R. R. Purnell, Dillon Stiles, Fred Konp, Roy Glover. They all ex­prel!llled themselves as well pleased with the treatment they received and. they said

they would not take anything for the ex­perience they have had, but they had no desire to go through it again.

The big rush is now all over and we are trYIng to aQuaint ourselves with norma.l eondltions again. Work in and around Houston is scarce and we are just holding our own. We have the J. G. White job at Matagorida lined up and we want to ad­viAe all of the brothers tha.t they will have to see the B. A. of Local 7H before they can go to work.

,Ve have noticed with Interest the action of the A. F. of L. in regards to the deei­sion rendered in favor of the Engineers. It goeA without saying that the Electrical Workers will never live UP to the decision. There has never been such an unfair deci­sion rendered and it is up to the members of the I. B. E. "-T. to sce that the engineers will never get any place with it and if it tak('R a fight to win the Electrical have got it.

There is another caRe confronting the Brotherhood and that is the case of the Ra!I1'oad sig-nal men. 'I.'hose men are or­"anizing themselves In an International known now as the Brotherhood of Rail­way Rig-nal men, one that was never heard of before the war. If there is any class of men dOing our work It is thi .. class of men and they should be In the I. B. g. 'V. This matter c1(,Rerves the attention of the Brotherhood nnd some effort should be mnd" to get them in.

Glad to say everything in Local Union No. 750 is gliding along smoothly. having elected and installed new officerR for com­ing tC'rm. Also wiRh to emphasize that for no lon;::er than we have been organized that everyone is taking sincere intprf'st in our welfare, also that the futur(' proRp"ets of No. 750 seem exceedingly bright.

L. U. NO. 755, CLARKSBURG, W. VA.

Editor: Contrary to expectation, I am going to let

the 'Vorker know 755 is on the map and able to sit up and tak!'> notice. Although the skeptic has declared we were just as good as dead. and I expect there are some people that wish we were dead. Just com­pleted election of officers, financial stand­ing is good, membership on the increase, fees raising to $25.00 in the next month or two with attendance fairly good, and am in hopes of better attendance when bylaws are passed next meeting. 'Ve have been very slow in g:!tting Our bylaws complete'! and in working order. Our working conditions are very fair; wages not the best, but bet· ter than was ever known in this section. We have one bad fault to overcome in the way of new men or apprentices abusing the working conditions that now exist. in the opinion of your humble servant if we do not live up to the present agreement we can't reasonably expect a better agreement next year without a bitter fight.

L, U. NO. 774, CXNCXNNATI, OHIO.

Editor: Just a few lines from one of the new·

comers, L. U. No. 774. Will endeavor to explain how we are getting along. No. 774 which was organized in July, and whose territory extends over the Baltimore and Ohio on all pOints west of Pittsburg, is well on the way to the 100 per cent mark. Have been taking the boys in at a pretty clip here lately and hope to have the balance under our wing within the near future. Ap· plications are rolling in at a rate of twenty or thirty at a crack, but think this would have been greatly exceeded had not the Spanish "Flu" gotten such a grip on Cin­cinnati, which is the headquarters of our local, and due to this we were unable to hold meetings for quite a while, therefore, have been delayed considerable in our work. Since LJncIe Sam haR taken over the roads the boys have fared pretty well, getting some of the justice which has been due them for a Ion;:: time. The following are the rates of pay:

FOl'!'man 7H cents per hour; 'Vireman 68 cents po,. hour; Linemen 68 cents per hour; Helpers and Apprentices first year 45 cents per hour; secoml year 53 cents per hour; third year 57 cents per hour; fourth year 62 cents per year.

TheRe rates are somewhat better than the ra tes thrtt "'cre in effect.

L. U. NO. 817, NEW YORK, N. y,

Editor: The new year has been ushered in with

a vociferous and joyous reception. Every­thing look .. bright and cheerful, and pros­pects for the working man never assumed a more powerful aspect, powerful in the sense of being cemented together by the bonds of brotherhood and friendship, and pledged to act in unity for all causes of right with never a greedy or unjust thought in their ('lean and unsullied minds.

Local Union 817 has truly grown in the first three months of its existence, for which we can fervently thank Brother Ed­ward Kloter, Organizer from the American Feceration of Labor. whose wonderful or­ganizing ability and indomitable will in­stilled in thc minds of the workers, who never knew what it meant to be under the protection of organization, the spirit of freedom. Local Union 817 will always look at Brother Kloter as being the fertile seed from which has sprung the sapling, soon to assume the sturdy proportions of a full grown and hardy tree under the branches of which all workers will find protection. Freedom and Equality shall be for all, and no unjust action will be accepted, for we have but one life to live, and let that be free ard clean from contamination, and never allow any injustices to be perpetrated on our fellow-men.

Under government control the electrical workers of the New-York Central R. R. Co., of which Local Union 817 is comprised, have been treated fairly well. They have received increases in salaries, which dated

back to Jan. 1, 1918. being paid one in July and the other in December, both of these carrying with it a nice little wad of ba<)k pay. which we can safely say came In mighty handy. Of course, some of the boys feel that thev should Rave done a little better with them. These cases no doubt will in due COurse be taken up with the of­ftcials and most likely brought to a satis­factory agreement.

The terrible conflict that tore at the

290 THE JOURNAL

vitals of the world is soon to be brought to a close, the active fighting having ceased In November past. Peace will soon be made and as the one end pavor of the Na­tions of the 'Vorld seems to be to make r~ a IDsting peace. one that will he impervi­ous to the hand that wishes \Var, just so, It::t there be a lasting peace bptween em­ploo'er and employee. Let th"re be no grieYance, no matter how small but what it cannot be brought UP in conference and properly adjuste<1, for as Presid"nt \Yilson said in hi" speech made . at l\lanchest€'r, England, "That makes it neepssary to make some g!'eat effort to have with one another an easy and constant method of conference, so that troubles may be taken when they are little anr! not allowed to grow until they are big." Truer words w"re never spoken. How many labor disturbances could haye bN>n 3.\'oided. if only a confer­(:,nce could Iw ve been h('hl. \vhc'n a griev­ance was small and was not allowed to as­Slane ~<-:. J'g-t' I'J"opol'tions?

The flow of returning ~oldiers is now un­der way, and let us hope that whf,n they arp. nlu~t('red out of servi<'0 and find them­seh'es back in the channds of civil life every effort will be marIe to replace them in tht~ir old pOBitions. "here by uf)ing so it \vnl not lrwan the (1islodgf'nlt~nt uf a fellO""­man. :-\0 flo1.1l)t. there "'ill he rounl fur them all, anil if not. placeR mUf't be f(mnd for thf'Tn. thp. boys \yho sacrificed nlore than ,,~e "'yin p\-('r kno\y. It's up to u.s. the ones \\--ho sta:~'(:ll at hOlne, Hot thruu~~h choice, but thl'oug-h necessity, to look after theSE> brave chaps, and see thf'm p"operly lo­cated, if not on their old job>;, on ones just as "ood. So, we must make it our husiness to lreep our eyes and ears open. and do all ,v(' can for tll(~ hn:.·s ,,·ho ('OHh--- back bring­in)" with them glory and honor.

The p0rio(1 of r0construction means a lot to th" entire world. Not only to the war deyustated c<)lmtries of Europe, but also to every civilized country docs this work of recon>;truction carry ,,-ith it enlighten­m<>nt and nf'W ideas. The reconstruction of labor conditions alone is something that will proye of great advantage to the work, ing man. Think of the poor individual who is without the support of an organized body. Look at his rate of pay and then compare it with one who is under the pro­tection of organization. So, you can read­ily see there is much room for improve­ment. and let us hope the hand of recon­struction reaches far and gathers within its scope thc many thousand" of unorgan­ized labor and brings them together under their differcnt branches, welding them into a solid mass, and showing them the bene­fits they can reap out of life if only they are treated humanly. How many of us have enjoyed an increase In salary suffi­ciently large enough to offset the high in­crease in the cost of HYing? True, many ot us have receiyed increases. but then look at the number of workers who have not. How have they been able to make ends meet? Only by denying themselves many of the necessities of life and merely living a hand-to-mouth existen!'e. Something must be done to aid these fellow-men in getting together, and something will be done, and the year 1919 is the time to do it.

Let us rise and wish with fervor a happy and prosperous New Year for all branches of Organized Labor, and that Loc"-l Union 817 hy this time a year hen('e ,vill really and truly haye become a pillar of the Temple of Labor.

Fraternally yours, C. H. de Santo.

A few lines to you an<l the Brotherhood at large from one of the m-embership a long way from home. I oftf'n wonder how things are drifting along back in God's country. I had the plca,sure of attend­Ing a meeting of L. 11. No. 20 at N. Y. <:ity, also taking in the Xew York and Brooklyn Labor Day parade just before le::n~ing" for oyer here. I ,,'as g-ivcn an 1. B. }~, 'V. pennant from th" Marine 1.0-eal, from the ship Y'lI'dq which is touring l'r:m"e with me and is sure good to look at \vhen a person docs not see many un­ion labels not c\"cn on made in ..:'--lnerica rJl~ndll('ts. \Vell thp hi.~ ~}1(P"V is n(1"\V oypr and the Hun is on the run but we still have censorship. So will have to confine myself to things non-militaty.· I would like to know how many days they hav'" in a year that it docs not rain in this part of the old world, for it sure has been worldng overtime since I have been on this side of the pond. There are quite a few of the boys of the I. B. E. 'V. in this Battalion from different parts of the coun­tI':", and none have seen a \vorker since "m !cave been here. Sure would he an enjoyment hard to heat to get hold of one. I see by the papers that some 10,000 Amer­ican Soldiers ha,-e married here in France and some of them will not return to the States. Funny how the climate will effect some people's mind. Must all been hitting the vin Blanc tn hArd. If I ever thought that this country had anything on the U. S. A .. I have seen enough of It to change my mind. I see the fall elections are over now and I am still wondering what kind of powders they slipped in some of the voters drinks to make them elect. Some men that they did, also I see the prohi­bition fanatics have been getting in some of their best work. Since so many wet votes are over doing their bit, while they sit back home and warm the chairs and vote the country dry. 'Ve may not be all dry in the army or all wet, but a good A mp:rif'8n gla.ss of beer would go pretty good to many over here, when they get back. ,Vould be glad to hear from any of the boys back there especially around Peoria, Ke,\vanee and Galesburg, also Au­rorn..

I am with the Canadian Engineers, but I think we will change that to Yankee Engi­neers as they are the majority in this unit. Am using a 'Yorker for a writing pad which was sent to me from Local 39 to which I belong and it is the second one I have received since I have been in the service, some one is very slack.

I kind of envy the boys back home when I hear of the jack they are making, but I suppose there will be some left when we get back. Forty francs a month ,is what we get out here a few drinks and it is gone. no chance to get drunk. A franc is about 20 cents of our money.

Have read a brothers letter about in­dentification dises for the brothers in the service just tell him any "Fritzio" will malt" one for a package of "fags"

As the first step In the direction ot putting an end to the flagrant suppres­sion of the right of assembly In tne towns along the 110nongahela River, where the city officials, to help check the campaign to organize the iron and steel industry, have prohibited all labor meetings, Presi­dent Gompers has sent the following letter to the mayor of McKeesport, Pa.:

"Washington, D. C., Dec. 4, 1918. "After my return from Europe, where

with others I undertook a mission in the , performance of a duty in the interest of the common cause in 'which our country and our allied countries were engaged, and meeting then with the representa­tives of the Central and South American countries, where the effort ".'as marie to estab!ieh and maintain more f~'iendly reo lations among the people of all the American republics, I come to the office of the American Federation of LD,hor. and here a committee of representative labor men-men of standing in their respective comIDunitie'3-come to me with the in­formation that you have refused them permission to hold a meeting or meetings in the halls of McKeesport,

'''rbey placert befm'e me tv:o clippin,'s from the Ditt2burp:h Lcn!1o" 0f Dcc(,::1lber 1,;t ~nfl frfJ:nJ. thc :\Ic:,vec'morl: Daily of ::\ovem1'er 20. 19j.R. bnth of ".-hiGh news­papers co,:ta:n acco::n7S oi FIe a'1near­ap.ce cf the ",'c::ltle:nJ.en v;hom I hn,ve in mild Q"ld ()tl~ers, of a meetir.g h()l~l \;-ith the city CCJll!'cil of ).IcT\:ceqport, the pu!'­po~e 0: tl:e hen;ri1'!g b"in:J; to obtalr an expref'sion of Opl:'llOn from the city council that public lawful mcetin!,s mi!':ht be held, and that you declared that you would not change your attitude or your course; that you would p!'o~ibit the meetings as already indicaterl.

"P'!rmit me to say that the meetings

contemplated to be held and permission for which was asked, were to be meetings of working men, inviting other men to participate and to discuss questions at importance affecting their interests, their welfare, and to dif'cUSS them in a manner always recognized as purely American. The laws of our land not only permit, but ~uarantee, the right of the holding of such meetings. I can readily under­stand that when our country was at war, when our cause might be endangered by reason of certain classes of meeting that as a matter of war necessity a stricter interpretation and action might find some seeming justification; but for all practi­cal purpoRes the war is over. We have won a glorious victory and labor has con­tributed no mean part to that result. But in any event, meetings of the character contemplated to be hela in McKeesport are of a nature permissible, whether we are at war or at peace.

"It is the lawful and the moral right for working men to meet in McKeesport or elsewhere. In this instance it is con­templated to lay before the workerR ot your city the advisabilit.y of their asso­ciating themselves for their mutval and common interests and for the uplift of their material, economic, moral and po­litical standards, that such gatherings are not only lawful and constitutional, but aT'e based upon high moral grounds and contributing to the welfare of our people. The contemplated meetings are the normal American method 'of discuss­ing, citizen with citizen, man with man, the manner and method by which rights may be attained ani! wrongs remedied.

"The Amerkan Federation of Labor, under whose am;pices these meetings are sought to be undertaken, has demon­strated its services to our government and to our people, not only during the periods of international peace, but dur­i"rIg the cruci~l time ot the war. We have the ri~ht to have ~coori!ed to 01.l!' Fede,('­tiOl], tl) our organizations and to our men the ordinary guaranteed right"! en­joyed by other ~oups and asso'clatiolllil ot lleonte in the United States.

"View!!]!! t.he sitl!ation in manv lands today, I ~nbm!t that this, of all periods, is not the time when a"y autocratic dom­j:oee:rin~ attitude shou l ,' be a~'Hlmer! by r.ry ~o~!ernnW7't or nubIle offie!al.

and a warehouse like Noah's Ark, has resulted in low operating cost, and
