WORKERS' EDUCATION
THE University of Minnesota, Minneapolis,
which befmoe the wae had posmbly 10 or 12
thousand students, has 27 thousand stu-
dents on its campus this year. To take care
of these, anyy temporary buildings had to be
erected and the curriculum realranged. The
University of Minnesota is typical of all the
schools of higher learning in America. There
is a wholesale drive for higher education,
and for education of every type. America
is going to school.
At the same time, universities and col-
leges are capitaizing interest in labor by
labor and by management and by students.
More than 65 universities and colleges have
set up labor courses, or some kind of new
arrangement to serve labor in the school.
The University of Minnesota has established
an industrial center. Yale has such an insti-
tution. So does Chicago. The University of
Wisconsin, which is the pioneer of workers'
education, is still going strong in providing
various and competent courses to labor un-
ionists. Of these new institltions, some have
arisen out of the demands from labor, but
many of them arise out of the natural
evolution of ducation in this country which
has probably brought popular education to
the highest pitch of any nation in the world.
Government Guidonce
More than a year ago, the United States'
Secretary of Labor sought to provide some
ki.nd of Government guidance for this new
movement in workers' education. Confer-
ehees were held at the Labor DepIartment,
and finally an advisory committee from trade
unions was set up which has had periodic
meetings (luring the last year. A small unit
on labor extensin was set inpin the division
of standards. This unit has since been liqlui-
dated by the Conresr. However, it is not
likely that the movement will taper off or
lag duinin the next decade. The urge is too
great, and the compulsions are too insistent.
A cornnrtee of railroad, and CIO and
A. F. of L. unions, called the Committee for
th, Extension of Labor Education. 2117
Pennsylvania A nune, N. W., Washington,
D. C., has been active in serving this new
public opinion in regard to wrkers' educa-
tion. It is this committee that has prepared
a bill to introduce to the present Congress.

WASHINGTON, U. C., JULY, 1947
New bill prepared by
unions asks for Federal aid.
Why widespread interest?
to measure the causes which produce this
new interest and lemarikable dIive for work-
ers education in this country. The JOURNAL
has reduced these to four principal causes:
1. There was a dammed-up demand for
education during the war which could not
be satisfied. Millions were wrenched out of
their accustomed occupations and their ac-
customed environment and sent into jobs
which were necessary to perform incident
to waging the war. At the same time, many
young men had an opportunity to think
through problems even while fighting, aid
reached the conclusion that they needed
more education. Naturally, too, the subsidi-
zation of studentship by the Government has
permittted manty Gl's to go to school which
normally wouhl not be possible. But even
with this unusual stimulus, the demand for
workers' edi ali mn appears to be something
new and something apart from GI educa-
tion. It is the recognition of a changing
world.
This Is a New Era
2. When the, atomic bomb was loosed on
fliroshima, a new era was ushered into
world's life. Anyone who has contact with
labor, and with other citizens throughout
the country, realizes that everywhere peo-
pie are thinking about the atomic bomb,
what effect it is going to have upon war,
and upon people. It is true that th, atomic
bmnh merely arrived out of a long period
of technological change in this country,
something that labor has been aware of for
at least 25 years. Labor has been sayig that
the machine has been exalted to a position
quite beyond that of human life and labor.
The atomic bomb was an extension of cer-
tain discoveries made within the electronic
fieold and made it eontingent upon Americans
to think in a new way. Albert Einstein, the
scientist who perhaps more than, any other
made possible the atomic bomb, now says
that Americans must change their thinking
habits altogether. Those Americans who
tahe the situation seriously wish to change
their thinking habits, and know that new
knowledge is needed a strong stimulation
as
in the study of science and electronics. It
- pr

is a strong stimulation in the direction of
studying econolies. It is a strong stimula-
tion in the di.reetin of studying sociology.
Th, principal hope lies in b reaking down bar-
riers between races and between economic
groups. This cannot be done easily, and
cannot be done by sitting around talking
about it. There must be a new spirit of
nd tkand
give an td a new spirit of diplomacy
devehloped. One labor leader said:
"No one needs to be ashamed nowadays
to be uneducated. In one sellse, everybody is
uneducated. Even the scholars in the col-
leges have much to relearn."
Workers are feeling this new urge for
knowledge, and every workers' group inter-
ested in education, including the Workers
Education Bureu, has braced to do a
fuller and more competent job in the field.
Lobor-Managemennt Relations
8. One of the results of this sense of
change has been to stimulate labor-manage-
ment relations. Labor people who are aware
of the forces now at play realize that you
cannot build a world against war and carry
on wars at home. Class war, that is the war
between labol: and management, must cease
and it ceases only by new arrangements
within industry for labor-managenment com-
mittees and for cooperation. The legisla-
tion for collective bargaining within the
last 15 years has stimulated labor-manage-
ment relations. Collective bargaining means
the growth of conferences and the intensi-
fcation of negotiation. As negotiations pro-
gress, there inst be more and more use of
accurate data and industrial knowledge. Re-
search becomes necessary. And it must be
done by fitting of persons on both sides of
the table to take part intlligently in con-
ference and in negotiations. All this has
stimulated workers' education, anid in a good
way. A number of trade unions have re-
ently set up educational departments to
carry on education set up on a full-time
basis eontinu.ously as a part of the general
work of the union.
Labor Resents Injustice
4. Labor has smarted. too, ounder the un-
equal treatment given it by Govenment.
For example, with farmers, the Agriculture
Department has huge sums each year for
Federal aid to farm education. The sum
totas around 30 million dollars. Agriculture
exten.sion service is famols throughout the
nation. On the other hand, no such aid has
been given labor groups by the Department
of Labor and of course the Department
of Commerce exists primarily to serve bui-
ness men in the same way. It is because of
this lack of parity between labor and other
economic groups that the Committee for
the Extension of Labor Education was
formed and is now operated.

expect to have a ersponsile union unless
you give it the means of achieving nrsponsi-

This Restraint Is Not Fair

A law banning the closed shop ii our ii-
dlustry might have just the opposite of the
effect desired by th sponsors if anti

if enated into law, might well create chaos
in industrial relations.
Good labor relations cannot be legislated,
They must be planted in a soil fertile with
honest desire to get along the one with
the other, and tended with undelstanding
and constancy. We in the electrical eontratt-
ing industry have l,bee hail at w irk at this
job for a generat.ti o. Just n..w the crop is
commencing to bud. We ask Congress to
help us protect this crop against the blight
of a law banning the closed shop.
CLOSED SHOP
is
In 1903 and 1904 the National A ssociation
of Manufacturers, while co,,eding the right
of workers to contlact for their services in
a collective capacity. condemned the losed
shop as un-American. unconstitutional, and
eolltln to the eonspime y laws,

tained that the doors of no inlust.ry should
be "closed, against Amlriean il. knien bt,-
cause of unio. or non-unmion el windrbship.
Such a connotation was. of uroe.s,not con-
tamed in the "closed shop" as the unions
and Gomipers understood it. According to
Stockton: "In its sinplest form, the plmn-
ciple of the closed hip is embodied in the
,ile that members of a trade union shall
not work in an establishment where on-.
unionists are employed, unless such non-
uninists fall within classes exempted by
the rules of the union fromn the requirement
of membership" Stockton saw nothing un-
constitutional, un-American, or eontray to
h
the conspiracy laws in the "close.d op" as
developed and sponasoed by trade unions.
It was generally known that the, principle
of the closed shop-the spirit of exclusion
of non-members-was a guild custom which
had existed in America more than a century
before the earliest unions. It was also
known that the practice had been adopted
and used by unions whose organized actkion
courts considered contrary to the conspiracy
laws. It was known, too, that it had been
accepted by employers, large and small, until
there began a relentless and concerted drive
in the rail, mine, and steel industries against
unionism ill general and against the closed

treasurer of the National Electrical Benefit
Fund. Mr. Davis has established headquar-
ters in the Lee Sheraton Hotel in Washing-
ton, and has been busy setting up the area
boards in cooperation with the employers
and the union. The whole enterprise was
the result of an agreement signed last
September between NECA and IBEW, es-
tablishing the employees benefit fund which
provided for a one percent assessment on
the payroll for all employees in the con-
struction and allied branches of the indus-

Situation Gratifying
D. W, Tracy, International president, In-

ers, is vice chairman of the national board.
Mr. Tracy said:
"I am very much gratified at the prog-
ress made in so short a time in the directiol
of establishing a permanent industry wel-
fare fund. I urge all local unions that have
not already set up their local area boards to
cooperate with local chapters of NECA in
setting up qualified boards because this en-
terprise is of such importance to the indus-

sisting of three members from each of the branches in-
volved: inside men, outside men, and utility workers.
This committee to meet and prepare a grentrail jurisdic-
tional definition covering the work of each of the three
branches involved as outlined in the resdutinslls to change
the present Constitution and set forth in the Law Com-
mittee's report on pages 23, 24, 25 and 26. The completed
work of the committee to be referred to the Executive
Council for submission to local unions in accord with the
provisions of the C0onstitution. This miatter shall be dis-
posed of not later than July 31, 1!)47, same to be submitted
to referentdum."

Committee Begins its Work
The Committee met at International headquarters.
Washington, D. C., beginning Monday, .May 19, 1947.
President Tracy opened the sessions, saying that each
committee member had been appointed because of his
experielne, and knowledge-and that he recognized the
difficult task of the committee. In his desire to be helpful
he suggested that II. H. Broach act as secretary for the
committee.
The committee approved the selection of Broach. It
also named J. F. Queeney (L. U. 103. Boston) as chair-
man. Before leaving the committee to its work, President
Tracy stated the services of himself and his office would
be available whenever called upon.
Declaration of Committee
The committee conisiidered each proposal made to the
convention dealing withi, jurisdiction. The committee
agreed it had no thought or intention of recommenrding
that any work or jurisdiction be taken away from one
branch of our organization and given to another. The
committee believes that each branch should continue to
do the work it has been doing, in accord with what our
Constitution now grants to each branch.
The committee believed its duty was to simplify and
make clear the jurisdiction of each of the three branches
involvrd-inside, outside and utility-without changing
the work now covered under the jurisdiction of each.
Peace now prevails throughout our Brotherhood anld the
committee did not propose to do anything to pillset this.
All Differences Will Not End
So long as we have rivalry between individuals we
will have rivalry between groups. Therefore, this com-
mittee has no thought that its recommendations, if
adopted, will end all jurisdictional differences in this
organization. Nor that its recommendations cover in de-
tail all questions involved. Interpretations and decisions
will still be necessary, no matter what is done. But the
committee does believe its efforts to simplify and clarify
will materially reduce misunderstandings and differences.

This article came about because of a re-
cent trip to the public library. I wias doing
a little research there and was iuing the
"w" index file when I happened upon
"women." There were thrpe andi a half huge
file drawers devoted entirely to books on
wnmen--history of women, natlure of wo.ent

we women should be such a topic of interest
to so manyauthors (particularly male au-

read some of the items culled at random.
Angels or Devils?
First off, 1 want to say that most of the
authors (at least those who just made com-
ments about women, had very definite opin-
ions of us--we were either very good m
very bad, there seented to be no happy
medium. To sone, women were angels to
others they were devils.
The ancient writers had much to say about
us. As far hack as t25 B. C. Aristophanes
wrote: "There's nothing in the world worse
than a woman-save some other woman."
And another ancient philosopher, Antiph-
anes, in 350 B. C. wrote; I trust only
one thing i a woman: that she will not
come to life again after she is dead. In all
other things I distrust her." Homer in his
"Odyssey'--away back the,e in 800 B. C.
wrote such things as "No trust is to he
placed in women;" and "There is no fouler
fiend than a woman when her mind is bent
to evil."

all" came from a man (the worm) Anaceoji.

L. U. NO. 58. Edilor Aiiong the
DETROIT, MICH. nany irterstlng let
teos in the May Jotln-
NAt, the one by Brother C. R. Smith of Port
Arthur, Texas, attracted otteltion by his ne
count of the miany weeks of idlen esscaused by
uccessiv e strikes byidifferent cr0f s at diffrent
times, all of which meant respecting piket lines
and consequent lost time to their menmers who
were in no way involved. Brother
Smith ug-
gests that the A. F. of L. move at once tiwirds
legislation which will ensure a c..n.,O temilna-
tiont date for all enntr;wt in all eratsin til
given eommunity or. .i. of n..i.n-wide scope.
Our business manager. Frank RhIIey recntly
repurted that he aE, his ia.eu..te on the De.
troit Building Trades
('ouncil have already
omade considlerahle study and progress in this
direction; and the matter has come in for some
discussion by our executive board. This question,
like all others. has its pros and cons. It is by no
means a new one. but has been brought sharply
into focus here during the last few years because
of increased militant activity by hoth (iO anti
A. F. of L. organiaations.
The uncomfortable thought which immediately
runces to mind is regimentation. Wage, in the
Detroit area vary at iresenl fronm $1l510 to $250
er hour. Local 58, by virtue of its high tal.d-
ards and bargaiinig ability, has been a leader
in Detroit building trades wage scales. The in-
herent drawback to the skilled factory worker
is that at his bargaining rnlndtable, the matter
of wages becomes a generalization; and the
teudnrcy is towards levelling off atan ,ra./tene
wage for all. WiEh common contract dates in the
building crafts, iay come coninon bargaining
con oresenes,
Brother Smith pungently asks if we should
not do something before some inspired senator
does it for us. An.In. The horse may already be
gone. Some in.spred corporation lawyer may
pop up to inspire some judge that the on-coming
law banishing seondary iboycotts is extensive
ernough to outlaw picket-ine respect,. IB virtue
of picket-line respect, all strike atre minor
general strikes,.
The eoomni.c isiturbance to our mnembers by
succeseive piket lines over such I pro r...ted
period as Ioawl 390 has epericnci murost be
corrected somehow. 'he com.mon.contraot date
mlay be the lesser of two evils. In event of its
tinal adoption, we shall have lo keep a sharp
lookout that our local's individuality ad1 ini-
tiative e not swallouwed up by a common build-
ing trades wage scale negotiated by a central
body.
Local 58 lost three hlg-tnue menim,ers during
May. They were: Jack Barter, larselo (abanero
and John Boggs.

by us in the past."
Then followed a brief enumeration of the
high-lights in the career of Brother Moriarity,
of inioist 60 years pent in the promotion of
better labor relations in Massachusetts, as a
oilmnon miember of a labor organization, as a
labor leader and, for the past 11 years as com--
miss!ituer of labor and industry. The toastmaster
endedhis eulogy as filliow:
"Buit our special interest tonight is with you
inlividually; and whatever may be the material
increase and prosperity of the labor situation.
all this iecomes of secondary importance when
we onrsiler the hold ynu have on the hbears of
those whom you have labored for and with, and
the place you occupy ill their esteem and at-
risone. With abundant reason, therefore, do we
approach you on this happy oeeasion to tender
you our imost earliest and sincere appreciation
for what you have done for us. our congratula-
tions on your success, fellow-worker, labor
leader and commissioner, and best wishes for a
full life among us."
At the conclusion of these words of adulation
and appreciation, Brther Moriarity simply
nodded his head in acknowledgment and the
toastmaster proceeded with the duties of his
office. The first speaker of the evening was the
genial ani ever-popular mayor of Boston, the
Honorable Jaies M. Cotrley. Mayor Curley Was
introduced an the governor fist to appoint
Brother Moriarity to the high office of eaomnis-
sioler. 11e said, among other thing, that Jim
must have been a good friend to have so many
friends in attendance on him tonight. Sail
that in 19315, amid strikes and lockouts, he ap-
pointedi Brother Mariarity to the commissionerer

SPEECH
Continuted frop, pagl 267)
It rewrites the National Ia boILr itt lat]n
Act in a disguised way.
These are grave charges, but they a,,
true. The bill is tantmu ttmto a l[ lSti,l
tory ievolution in this country.
Take th dpiv against free spech and
Irie pi'Ss. (Cia.. ilned inll the Taft-Hartley
bill is a clause which fol:bids a labor unitm.
"to miake a cotributioi n or elxpllitu.e.s in
connmtion with any electionil" IfI ihent,
letd
vice president, senator or cotgressman,
This means that labor cannot issu, asp
cial edition of a labor newspaper, a Pain-
phlet, or pay for radio time in behalf if any
candidates of its choice. Mr. Taft hids
behi.nd the old principle of parity, Be de-
clares ial Ltdl. pbuth labor on a parity with
corpomrations, But he fails to poblmt out that
corporations own and control the daily piess.
In short, Mr. Taft is willing to give the
rich and poor the sa.ta right to sleep in
doorways and under bridges.
Let me read you a section of Ihie Con-
gressional Record for June 5, 947:
Senator Pepllper: Suppose a labor
felt that a candidate for office was Unlfair
to labor, and that labor union wished to
put out a pamphlet to advise its.iem.beers
about the labor r.cord of the candidate,. I
ask the Senator from Ohio whether that
would be forbidden as an expeniditure by a
labolr irganiz ation in respect to a candidate
or an eleetion, under the proposed act?
Senator Taft: Yes, I think it woulII be,.
Senlator Pepper: So a workiinil.n's om-
ganization would be depived of the ipwer
even of advising its memnberhip of the anti-
labor record of a man who might be a can-
didate for public office?
Senator Taft: Correct.
Now look at thepsecd sneak p rvision it this
bill. It makes lhe n ilon responsible for the
unlawful acts of any agent, any offIcer, aay sub-
bffirebr, any steward. This is 1ike rinkitl: M.
Taft legally respnshihle for the act of any Rle-
publcan. F...t ibaking him legally responsidua
for the acts of Senat.r Wayne Morse.
The bill virtually wipes out the Norris La-
Guardi Acl. insc-upulou s employers o-r their
ilgents, or for that matter anly Tuill, Dick lld
lorry con hale aille iito I eourt on the slight-
eat pretext. To escape this dragnet labor will
ibe forced to stay away froti accepted aeneies
of aljustanit, like the National Letlier RIla
LionBo rdl. aid carry its dispute to the nl -
playr and against the employer. Iloiled as a
inogrOm for better labor-mnnagement relations.
the bill is in truth the signal for out-aad-oni
clasa warfare, with no holds barret,. Production
will decline.
In this respect, the bill is an illnsult I every
Azerieahl who knows as well as I do ihal thi,
is a time for unity. team-play and cooperatiln,
and not warfare.

urged the appointmenll of a representative eom-

I have listed the rcalson why labor is asking
the President to veto the lfta rfllitey bill. They
are good reason- vadlid r.eason. mut there 1s
ailthrh reaon anti it io ldrp in the public in-

LABOR BILL
(Cnlinued frozm page 267)
the powers of the nmw Natinaal Labor Rela-
tions Board by refusing funds for investi-
gatory work, or by cutting off personnel to
be used for investigatory work.
The bill takes a powerful swipe at the
United States Department of Labor by cre-
ating a Conciliation Sm'vie outside of the
l)epartment of Labor. The conciliation can
be handled by men, it is supposed, who have
no understanding of the labor problem.
The bill, in short, is
i creation of tile
enemies of labor. It has been heavily
financed from the outside and a skillful
propaganda campaign has helped to float
it ilto the press anid other vantage points
of public opinion.
In other words, by adroit advertising
methods a brand of adulterated goods has
been sold to Americans. The truth is, the
only way to get good linbor-management r,-
latis is by labor-mnag.ement cooperation
in the industrial field and by slow processes
of .n.. s tolerance, and intelligence.
IndIin,
Igislatilti cannot do it.
Thmer has been a good deal of suppressed
xcKitement in Washington during this period
wlheni the bill was being finally formuainted
and passed. There has been a great deal of
speculation as to the course of action to be
followed by the President. There is little
doubt that the Congress has ignored the re-
suits of all the by-elections since November,
These elections, Congressional, mayoralty.
and state elections, have gone against the
Congress. The Congress has ignorvd the
change of feeling in the public. The Prsi-
dent is no doubt faced with a shveri
dilmr.a. Some of hib advisors are sugost-
ing that he sign the bill, If he does, of
eoarse he cuts himself off fiom any support
of labor in 1948. He also identifies the Demo-
cratic Party with the Republican Party in
a coalition way that practically leaves the
country with a one-party system--a totali-
tarian system.. There is little doubt a great
pressu' e is being put on the President by
the National Association of Manufactuers
and its fIients. The series of advertisements
that the American Federation of Labor has
given to newspapers about the country had
been refused by the New York Heirld
Trib,,Pe and the Chistitn Science Monitor,
especialy tile one that is headed "Don't Be
A NAM Foel]" There is little doubt that
the next few weeks in Washington will make
ilhd the grataLest iste of the 1948 eampaign.

ADDRESS, G. M. BUGNIAZET, I. S.
1200 Fiftetelh St. N. W. Washington 5, D. C.
 Through the release of atomic energy, our generation has
brought into the world the most revolutionary force since pre-
historic man's discovery of fire. This basic power of the universe
cannot be fitted into the outmoded concept of narrow nationalisms.
For there is no secret and there is no defense; there is no possi-
bility of control except through the aroused understanding and
insistence of the peoples of the world.
We scientists recognize ourt inescapable responsibility to carry
to our fellow citizens an understanding of the simple facts of
atomic energy and its implications for society. In this lies our
only security and our only hope-we believe that an informed
citizenry will act for life and not for death.

-A. Einstein.
