I'm not much at asking favors.
I hardly know where to start.
I'm just the lowest ranking dogfaee;
But I'm spejkilg from the heart.
I'd like to see Billy's eyes grow wide
With my stories of St. Nick.
I'd like to help Alice trim our tree;
That always gave ie a kick.
Then Christmas day with Mo., and Pop,
Our usual yearly routine.
There's nothing I own that I wouldn't give
To Ie part of that homey scene.
I'll try not to mi d missing this year,
Our job needs a little more time.
The end is insight, it won't ho toi
Till we've stampd out histry's crimI.
Eat when next this Joyous season ..o.e
And the holly wreath is hung.
I'd like to hear American children;
When Christmas carols yresung.
I hope You will hear me, consider iinplea,
Oh Ieavenly Father above,
All that I ask is next Christmas to spend
In peace, on the LIng Island I love.

The abor displacement due inetns. also ;Ill illel'eas! ill the starNltcfni-
enormou)s
to mechanization of technologcalp
grans during tie war period canl be
guessed by hloking at the record. First,
about inn-half of the national product
has beer used for war purposes without
lowering the real level of civilian con.
sumptio. in other words, the nationaI
output has bell doubled over pgacetihn
output. SecondI the number- if civilian
workers, including those producing War
goods, has increased
numerically about
25 per cent, that is, from 40 to 50 million.
It is true that the average hours of vork
per worker p1r week have increased. On
the other hand the quality, skill and
strength for the average worker have I,-
dlined by reason of the withdrawal of the
most able-bodied and skilled into military
activities, and then replacement by
women, youngsters and oldsters.
This trend indicates that the o utIUt
bas risen 200 per cent while employment
has risen to bout 125 per cent. More-
over, it is that for the same

THE LONU-IHANGE VIEW
"Any constructive plan to maintain our
stupendous wartime national income after
the war must be geared to a long range
view. But the immediate period folilwing
the collapse If Germany, for at least two
and a half tio three years, will be the
transitional period when the nation will
be readjusting itself. It is this immediate
transitional period-or the short-haul
plan-which must take first place in our
national thinking ....
"Thlre are at present about 62 million
people employed in America. which in-
eludes the II million men in the armed
forces. This labor force comprises every
type of worker, including agricultural Ia
ber and an estimated one million tempo-
rarily unemployed. It represents the high-
est total of employed the nation has ever
had.
"According to Army dembilizatihn
stimastes as given by Dr. Harold G.
Moultto,,, president of the Brookings Insti-
tute, at the Senate postwar
planning and
economic policy hearings in Washington
last May, the return to civilian life wil
he gradual and extend approximately
over a 2½-year period. This process will
begin with the end of the European phase
of the war and will continue until we
reach the limits of the final peacetime
armed force, which Mr. Moulton estimates
will be about 1'A to 2 million.
"The ultimate manpower exodus from
the Army into civilian life will be from 9
to 9% million. The demobillation phase
of the armed forces will be accompanied
by a corresponding displacement in war
industries...
NATIONAL OUTPUT
"If, in 1940, 46 million workers pro-
duced a national output in goods and serv-
ices of 97 billion dollars, then in terms
of P140 prices, the 55 million postwar
manpower army should yield a gross na-
tional product of 116 billion dollars. But
increased labor productivity and new
technological advances should make it
possible to expand the national product to
a still greater volume provided we can
maintain full employment and full indus-
trial activity. Actually, economists esti-
mate as a practical possibility a postwar
national product totaling at least 140 bil-
lion dollars at 1940 prices, or 168 billion
dollars at current prices.
"However, there are shoals ahead for
the nation if this postwar national in-
come is to be achieved on the 1940 wage
and price structure ...

OVEMBER of this year marks the
opening of the I. B. E. W. industrial
electronic course at Marquette Uni-
... sity.
Here is the et-up: The tiae is Novem-
ber 13. The course runs six days a week
for six weeks. The place is the School of
Engineering, Marquette University, 1515
W. Wisconsin Avenue, Milwaukee, Wis-
consin. Teaching staff consists of profes-
sors of engineering at Marquette Uni-
versity and prominent industrial elec-
tronic engineers representing Allis-
Chalmers, General Electric and Westing-
house Electric and Manufacturing Com-
pany. The laboratory equipment consists
of approximately 30 thousand dollars
worth of modern industrial electronic
equipment in use in the industrial plants
of America today.
The course is an intensive streamlined
training program, prepared specifically
for members of the I. B. E. W. It is
based on time-tested methods of training,
which provide knowledge and skill in the
quick, practical fashion. The course con-
centrates on the phases of the industrial
electronic industry which are useful to
our men. 1. Installation instructions;
2. Trouble shooting; 3. Maintenance;
4. Operation.
The course starts from scratch. It
refreshes the men on the fundamentals of
electricity and mathematics, which are
basic for a goo foundation
d in industrial
electronics. The men are to be well
grounded in electron tube theory, and
the themor and use of electronic test
eqaipment.
ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT
Each type of industrial electronic
equipment is explained and demonstrated
separately. In the case of photoelectric
equipment sound movies are shown on the
modern applications, There are lectures
and chalk talks on circuits and theory of
operation. In the laboratory each man
is assiged the problem of wiring, operat-
ing, trouble shooting and testing of photo-

Editmo's Note: The foliow;~g report
1'as giuen by Chairman H.erzberg at the
annal ,meebtig of contracto's, Fr.e..ch
Lick, in Octobe,:
T your meeting in St. Louis, at the
Jefferson Hotel, held April 15-16,
1944, a tentative report was submitted
as to the need for over-all apprenticeship
and training standards covering our
division of the electrical industry.
In the report of the suhbcommittee sub-
mitted at this same meeting it was re-
peoted that reactionary representatives of
reactionary corporations were appearing
before Government bodies with the aim of
tearing donm the apprenticeship system
as we know it, and substitnting a make-
shift training program which cannot be
productive of first-class all-around me-
chanics, which we need in our ever-
expanding industry.
Your national joint committee knows
the danger in c onnection with this type of
activity-and proposes to do all within its
power to oppose it.
MEETINGS FOR ACTION
A number of meetings were held inorder
to be able to submit these broadened ap-
prenticeship and training standards to
the membership of NECA for their con-
sideration and action in approving the
action of your representatives on the Na-
tional Joint Apprenticeship and Training
Committee for the Electrical Industry.
Your committee at their formal meet-
ing held in Chicago, Saturday, September
9, adopted the tentative draft of stand-
ards that was before them, as amenied by
The Journal of ELECTRICAL WORKERS and Operators

A recommendation that apprentices go
to night school on their own time
. .eec.ved

mittee.
Your National Joint Apprenticeship
and Training Committee is a permanent
comittee and is charged with the re-
sponsibility of amending yeu' national
standards from time to time as experience
dictate s.
Your committee also desires to co-
operate in any way possible with existing
locaI or district joint committees, and/or
in creating such committees.
Youn committee welcoins and needs
your cooperation and support in order
that the national standards for the ele-
trical industry remain at al tnmes the
most complete, workable standards, lead-
ing all other industrics
ASSISTANCE OFFERED
Our field representatives can and will
assist in securing and organizing local or
district joint committees when called upon
for assistance.
We in this electrical industry (which is
a profession) have a great opportunity
to prove our progressiveness by getting
joint local or district apprenticeship and
training committees in operation now to
prove our sincerity in desiring to meet all
demands that may be made of us by the
public who are our clientele.
Our industry is known as a cooperative
industry employers and employees Ca-
pable of solving their own industry prob-
lems, may they be local or national--and
these industry relations should and must
exist in all parts of those United States.
Believe me when I say that the creatng
of local joint committees on apprentice-
ship and training standards is the im
mediate means of bringing this about, and
Surely is one thing that cannot be classed
by anyone-even with the greateststretch
of imagination-as collusion within an in-
dustry. The purpose in support of this
activity is to render the best possible
service to Mr. and Mrs. Public who are
our clientele and pay the bills for the effi-
cient Seiwice we render.
I
Ynduaut
These activities will give local comit-
tees who claim there is nothing for them
to do and, therefore, decide to meet quar-
terly, sufficient work to meet monthly,
every other week and, in most cases,
weekly. This will also result in the com-
mittecs really becoming interested in
their important function and responsibil-
ity; namely, seeing to it that apprentices
in our industry do get an all-around edu-
cation and knowledge of the work they
will be expected to perform when working
in this profession of ours.
THE RESPONSIBILITY
Members of local joint committees who
do not realize their responsibility or are
umiwilling to assume the responsibility
should resign and pennit others willing
and quaiified to take their place. I am
sure that some of our own boys who have
seen service, and who really appreciate
the experience and learning they have
had while in the service are qualified,
ready and willing to serve in this capacity
as members of our local or district joint
apprenticeship and training committees
for this is a very important industry
program, and one that must make more
progress than it has thus far.
The value of desirable industrial rela-
tions is one thing I am sure all of you are
familiar with. However, in order to have
and enjoy them, there must be activity in
yow district to bring it about-the proper
number of contacts are very necessary.
Where either party of our industry fails
to realize the value of desirable relations,
that should and must be the number one
objective. In some districts it may take
longer than in others to accomplish this
objective. Never let down on your efforts
to win this point-for it is the most im-
portant tool to have and it has a soothing
effect on all concerned, and perm.its the
rendering of an outstanding service to the
public. Local and district joint apprentice-
ship committees in many instances are
directly responsible for bringing about a
realization of each other's problems.
The publicity we need relative to this
activity of apprenticeship and training
should not be confined solely to articles
from your representatives on our joint
committee.
PROPER PUBLICITY
What we do need is articles covering
the activity of our local or district joint
committees. We need your cooperation in
this respect. Our joint committee should
welcome the publicity-they should have
pictures taken of special activities. With
the proper publicity they will create an
incentive for other joint committees to
take similar action.

He Died Every day there is evidence that the elce-
on the Job trician's trade is hazardous. With death
all around us in a world of war, these daily
accidents are overlooked and lost sight of. However,
we have before us a moving letter from Mrs. Helen
Hendrickson, Des Moines, Iowa, describing the death
of her young husband, a lineman for the Iowa Power
and fight Company. He received a 2,300-volt electric
shock from a wire in that city at 3:45 p. m. His
brother unionists and fellow workers fought for 11
hours to save his life and to bring him back from the
vestibule of death. Young Hendrickson's heart was
paralyzed from the start by the heavy shock. But he
was young and strong, six feet one inch tall, and he
seemed to be vibrant with lire even though his heart
was paralyzed. It was a task for his young fellow
workers to administer artificial respiration and they
did not cease until all hope was gone and they them-
selves were almost exhausted.
The wife of the unfortunate victim of the shock
writes: "Credit should go not only to the men whose
names were mentioned in the newspapers but to those
also who kept him warm by rubbing his limbs, apply-
ing external beat and administering hundreds of little
devices designed to save him. He was taken out of the
2,300-volt wires at about 3:45 in the afternoon and
they worked I1 hours, only to have to cover his lifeless
body and to tell me I had lost the dearest man on
earth."
A dramatic moment occurred in the very beginning
when doctors who had been called said the case was
hopeless and the man was already dead. His union
brothers did not give in and fought manfully nearly
half a day to bring him back.
Cal Hendrickson was an enthusiastic worker and
an enthusiastic union man. He always accepted emer-
gency assignments eagerly. Mrs. Hendrickson said:
"Even on regular work clays when the almrII clock
rang (it stopped the day he was killed) he was ready
to go to work without a complaint."
He was buried with the I. B. E. W. emblem erected
over his grave. All of this is recounted because it
records dramatically a saga of the wires.

The World Moving with a strong tide in the indus-
Does Move trial world, the University of Chicago
has established an industrial relations
(enter. The object of this agency is to promote har-
monious relations between management and labor.
It will serve union leaders, business men, government
oflicials, faculty members and students.
Related to the work of the center will be courses in
industrial relations, courses in business and law, eco-
nomics, sociology, political science, education, psy-
chology and psychiatry. This sounds like the entire
curriculum but it merely illustrates how complex and
deep is the labor problem. Two men who have had
wide experience in education and government will
head the center,
At Harvard the courses for trade union leaders and
business men have acted upon each other in much the
same way as the University of Chicago intends them
to interact at the labor center.
Cornell University has also established a labor rolae
tions agency at that university.
Essentials No thinking American was pleased with
the tone of the election campaign just
passed. It suggests the fact that Americans haven't
grown up yet in their approach to economic problems.
Name-calling does not take the place of thinking, analy-
sis and reasoned conclusions,. Perhaps Americans can
look forward to a time when issues can be more ration-
ally treated and more rationally solved. However, it
is a great tribute to American democracy that in the
midst of the most devastating war in history, it was
strong enough to fulfill the requirements of our Consti-
tution and hold a vigorous election, which divided our
people, and survive.
One important coenlusion was reached through this
campaign and that was that foreign policy should be
a non-partisan matter. This is a distinct gain. How-
ever, we believe that other questions should be non-
partisan matters-the question of full employment,
for instance, cannot be solved by politics. It must be
solved by clear thinking, shrewd analysis and nation-
wide cooperation. We believe that the future of a suc-
cessful democracy should move in the direction of
widening the area of questions which are to be solved
on a non-partisan basis, narrowing the area of ques-
tions solved by passion aid name-calling.
Industry The I. B. E. W. Electronics School opened
Unity successfully in Milwaukee on November 13.
This represents a great step and advance in
union techniques. One of the gratifying facts about
the success of this school is the widespread coopera-
tion with the I. B. E. W. of every segment in the in-
dustry. The Brotherhood has had the cooperation of
the National Electrical Contractors Association, an
employer organization, and the great corporations

FOR REMEMBRANCE
We stress again. to, on this year's
Christmas page. the importance of
Christmas to our children. I inemember as
a child how I woul look forward for
months to that great day how I would
count the lays and even the hours as
Christmas Eve grew near. And the mem-

church on Chrisbtas morning - the
breathtaking excitement of opening the
Christmas stocking and the time I found
the little gold ring with the red set in the
very bottom. They are good memoris
and today's children must have them, too
-in spite of war and the sadness that has
invaded so many homes. For them these
Christmases will not come again and the
ecstasy of Christmas at the age of seven
is not the same at seventeen and there-
forI not one must be lost.
The balance of this page which is nee

AND THE TABLE
The Christmas dinner.t able

an interesting, different one and the chil-
dren will love helping to make it so,. There
are many inexpensive ways of doing this.
Try red oI green or gold cellophane
over your white table cloth and carry out
accessories in sietilr or contrasting
colors,
Try pasting vanoios sized stars to your
cloth or use colored Chritlas seals.
Try a wide ribbon of dold or silver
paper down the center of the tald aend
place oin it caidles of different heights
with greens between.

Imagine the novelty of sewing a few
tiny bells along the hem of your cloth so
that there is a sound of tinkling as the
diner's nlo ve.
CRAZY CIRCUS
The children could make strange little
figures of fruits, nuts and guin drops to
be us fored place favors. A large prune
stuffed with a marshmallow with a raisin
for a head adalaonds for feet makes a
penguin. Andidid you ever let the, make
allorangeelephant? Cut round flaps for
cras and blng, narrow strips for hrind
and tail Cloves moake the eyesand four
flaps are rut for legs which cover tooth
picks for support.
For an attractive Santa, use a big red
apple for the body, a marshmallow for
the bead, cloves for eyes and nose. At
sorbent cotto. makes a belt. whiskers, and
hair and covers the toothpick arm and ,
legs. A little red tissue-paper cap tops
the marshmallow face.
THE GINGERBREAD BOY
Then there's the Christmas cooking
Thbee never was a child who didn't want
to "help Iammlna ook,." Let them make
Gingerbread Men. They make fine Christ-
nias cookies, they're fine to hang on the
tree and they also make pleasant little
remembrances for your children to tie up
in fancy paper and give to little neighbor-
hood friends as gifts.

I wish there were time for more Christ
iss ideas but I've come to the end of my
page. I'll just make one
more suggestion.
On Christmas Eve just before the chil-
(ren go to bed, why not place a igblued
candle in your front window in the tradi-
tieordway "to light the Christ Child,"
and then gather your family around and
rend aloud the Chritmna story. It in,-
presses the realmeaning and love of
Christmas upon them in a way they will

on subjects vitally affecting not only the indi-
vidual's ever y life, but the labor move
meat as a whole, the first of a series of
meetings was heId in the Albany tlotel, Or
sober 19, in Denver, under the sponsorship
of the Educational Committee of the State
Federation of Labor.
Discussion was general and it was decided
to report back to the progressive organize-
tions represented, the purpose of these meet-
ings. and to ask for a representative commit-
tee to be appointed with the original delegate
as chairman. A tentative
program
was out-
lined which was received very well by the
delegates, but enthusiosti, response was
tempered by the knowledge that full stomachs
and a few bonds tend to falsely make us be-
lieve our economic position is secure. How-
ever, it was recognized that a great deal of
hard and thankless work is necessary to pry
the collective minds of the laboring people
out of the state of inertia in which it now
rests,
It was also recognized that the unions, as
a whole, were inl manner
some and for some
reason failing in doing the things for all their
members that the-y are supposed to d0 and
in so doing are undermining the very foun-
dation upon which organized labor
is built,
namely, brotherhood.
The delegates were agreed that since so
many new material things would be out
after the war to make for better living and
since new trends of thought are now be-
ginning to make a definite pattern for better
understanding, and if we desire worldwide
peace, it is essential that we have peace
with the employer, the public, and ourselves,
ind.lividlutally and collectively.
Therefore, if labor believes it has an
inherent right toleadership in civic affairs and
business, it is up to the laboring class to
attain a higher intellectual level. If we are
to retain or command the respect to which all
respectable
craftsmen are entitled, the ildi-

TWINS OF DEATH
· HAND IN HAND go War and
Tuberculosis - the dread disease
that since Pearl Harbor has exacted
a toll of 145,000 civilians.
Wartime conditions - worry, over-
work, abnormal eating and housing
- are the allies of TB.
Yet Tuberculosis can be controlled.
The annual sale of Christmas seals has
helped cut the death rate by 75%!
But the current death rate shows that
the battle is far from won - that your
dollars are needed now, urgently.
Please, send in your contribution today.
