There is less need for anti-strike legis to the standards I'stablished by American lation now than ever before. It is not anti judgment and American conscience. I say to you gentlempn that there is no strike legislation that is needed. It is fact agency In all our country so potent to avert finding agencies to determine the basis for and avoid strikes as the much mi~repre~ented settlement of industrial disputes.

EDITORIAL
Property The foundation not only of our economic system but of Rights Government itself in this country is the theory of indi vidual rights. The right of private property, or "prop erty rights," is fixed in our constitution and our laws. Probably, how ever, more questions are raised, more discussions indulged in, and more criticisms are leveled at what we call "property rights" than at any other institution or law in our country. It is important that we inform ourselves as American citizens and think deeply and steadily on the great issues and questions of today. The future of civilization rests with the producers, and in a democ racy it is highly important that each and every citizen have definite principles and convictions. Property is transformed labor. It is wealth created by living beings out of inanimate material. "Property rights" then are human rights-the right of a man to himself. If he catches a fish, or fells a tree, or builds a hut, or digs a garden-what his labor produces belongs to him. This is the moral sanction of property. But property means more. It means today, security. We work and save that in sickness or in old age, we may be secure from want. When "property rights" are assailed, these two great ideas, the justice and utility of them, rush to men's minds and banish the intruder. But an examination of the facts today will show that much if not most of what we call property is a denial of the fruits of his skill or labor to the worker. Much that we call property is in reality a legal right to a tax, or take toll, levied on the producers and consumers by the so-called "owners" of this so-called "property." So that the satisfaction of the demands of these so-called "property rights" de stroy entirely for the great mass of toilers any real security, and deny to them in a large measure the fruit of their toil. A book has recently appeared in this country from England, which offers a short analysis of the theory of individual rights, which we commend for careful study. A few extracts or thoughts from this book may whet your appetite for reading. The name of the book is "The Acquisitive Society." The author is R. H. Tawney. "Mr. Tawney," says the London Times, "has won the right to speak on economic and social topics. An Oxford man, he was a mem ber of the British Coal Commission, is one of the leaders of the Workers Educational Association, and has done distinguished, thor ough and careful work in economic history." This book comes then from a man connected with the most con servative educational institution probably in the world-Oxford, England. Mr. Tawney in his introductory speaks of the "practical men" who are attempting to remedy the evils which society suffers, and he says, "When they desire to place their economic life on better foundation, they repeat, like p;lrrots, the word 'Productivity,' because that is the word that rises first in their minds; regardless of the fact WORKERS AND OPERATORS 299 that productivity is the foundation on which it is based already, that increased productivity is the one characteristic achievement of the age before the war, as religion was of the Middle Ages or art of classical Athens, and that it is precisely in the century which has seen the greatest increase in production since the fall of the Roman Empire that economic discontent has been most acute." "But increased production is important. Of course it is! That plents is good and scarcity, evil-it needs no ghost from the graves of the past five years to tell us that. But plenty depends upon co operative effort; and co-operation, upon moral principles. And moral principles are what the prophets of this dispensation despise." "An institution, when all is said, is, in its essence, nothing more mysterious than a body of men associated, in various degrees of com petition and co-operation, to win their living by providing the com munity with some service which it requires." "What gives meaning to economic activity is the purpose to which it is directed." "Wealth in modern societies is distributed according to oppor tunity; and while opportunity depends partially upon talent and energy, it depends still more upon birth, social position, access to education, and inherited wealth-in a word, upon property." Property is the sleeping partner who draws the dividends which the firm produces, the residuary legatee, who always claims his share in the estate." * * * "We have a class of pensioners upon industry, who levy toll upon its product but contribute nothing to its increase, and who are not merely tolerated, but applauded and admired as though the secret of prosperity resided in them." * * * "A second consequence is the degradation of those who labor, but who do not by their labor command large rewards; that is, the great majority of mankind." . "An Acquisitive Society reverences the possession of wealth as a Functional Society would honor, even in the person of the humblest and most laborious craftsman, the arts of creation. So wealth be comes the foundation of public esteem, and the mass of men who labor, but who do not acquire wealth, are thought to be vulgar and meaningless and insignificant compared with the few who acquire wealth by good fortune, or by the skillful use of economic oppor tunities." It is difficult to stop quoting from this book. The only security of the race against want or hunger or even famine is production, and efficiency in production. There is a great cry today going up against the waste and inefficiency in production. Is this the fault of the working man? It is not. It is primarily the fault of the present laws which permit monopoly, non-resident owner ship, royalties, exactions and tributes. We talk of efficiency in production. Is anything more destruc tive of it than the knowledge that every added blow of pick or ham mer increases the profits or the dividends paid to idle shareholders but does not necessarily increase wages nor reduce the cost to the consumer? Increased efficiency will come when' industry and production have themselves become democratized; when co-operative organiza tion and co-operative effort reward with the full product of their toil all those who labor in production whether with brain or muscle or both. The producers have a common interest. The farmer is now suffering acutely and his hard condition is fast bringing to his mind 300 THE JOURNAL OF ELECTRICAL this truth; namely, that all those who toil are primarily interested and have a common interest in getting rid of leaches, "the toll gath erers" and the vast unearned dividends going to those whose only right to any share is the right they claim because they are "owners." Mr. Tawney in his book not only makes a careful and interesting study of this whole question, but offers practical, common sense sug gestions of the way out. The book is well worth the reading and study of every intelligent American citizen. The Battle Time and again this organization has felt the curse of "Unity" of wide internal division and secessionism. It has had to pay the price for foolish, ambitious individuals breaking away and forming new organizations that lingered along for a time and then collapsed. Now we are being reminded of the bitter price being paid by the workers in the shoe and leather indus try, which for many years has been a hotbed of dual-unionism, and where the Moses-like type of leader has been permitted full play. Those assuming to be perfectionists have succeeded in tearing the shoe workers into many hostile, independent factions-all in the name of "solidarity." Almost every time they called a conference to "solidify" the forces of those workers, the usual thing happened and a new faction or organization was born. In due time, however, they heard of the movement. started in Chicago in November, 1920, to organize the so-called radicals and revolutionaries in order to gain control of the unions and then amal gamate them in their own way. So they preached amalgamation to the echo; and after much bombast and pledges of devotion to cause, they recently called a convention-with no A. F. of L. men present -for the purpose of merging and making One Big Union of the dual organizations. But when it came to actually amalgamating, when the time arrived to display some real unity-well, that's another story, a story quite different from preaching and endorsing amalgamation. So the whole scheme collapsed, the splitters split, the hated injunction was introduced, more factions were created, and a merry time was had by all. This might seem strange to some, that these kinds of men can preach in favor of solidarity, can vote for it and call conferences and conventions to bring it about, and then follow tactics just to the opposite-and when it actually comes to supporting what they have endorsed and to displaying some real unity, they become afflicted with .acute separatism-the disease from which they have long suffered. It is very easy for some men to work themselves into a glow of excitement, talking about amalgamating, about the solidarity of labor; they can forcefully tell not how good things will work out, but how bad are the unions-but when they get into a room together they can see almost everything but solidarity, and then they tear into one another and hell begins. Of course, these men could not unite and act in harmony. That was expecting too much. Men who have long been leaders of factions and dual movements cannot suddenly turn squarely around and cast off their whole make-ups; they cannot overnight discard their charac ters and theories and designs which they have entertained for years. That's impossible. After living and working in disunity for years it is inconceivable that men can suddenly display unity or lead a movement for unity. WORKERS AND OPERATORS 301 Men simply are not made that way; they do not think that way, and they certainly have never acted that way. And for this men cannot be blamed. We must blame the power that made them that way. If these men and others like them understood the real meaning of unity and honestly believed in it they could never have taken part in breakaway or dual movements; they could not have been factional ists for years. By taking part in dual movements they violated the very first principle of unity. They showed that they either did not understand it or did not care. If they could not realize their obliga tion and be loyal to the labor movement in the first place they cer tainly cannot be expected to be loyal to those who follow them. By first dividing the workers' ranks they proved their unfitness to amal gamate anything. And the fact that they swore allegiance to amal gamation in this case meant absolutely nothing, for they have violated such oaths before. So the splitters always split, again and again. It is quite inevi table that they should. They simply do not think in terms of unity. All labor history is filled with proof of this. One of the latest such splits occurred in January between the leaders of the United Asso ciation of Railway Employees, a dual union organized following the switchmen's runaway strike of 1920. Again the injunction was used by one group of leaders against the other, and again their "guns" were turned loose on one another. Thus the battle of unity proceeds. But perhaps some day the workers will refuse to swallow all that is dished out to them in the name of unity or solidarity; there might be a limit to the time when they can be so easily hoodwinked and betrayed. . The electrical worker has long since passed the stage. They no longer give attentive ear to the splitter, self seeker and seceder. Now It's The late change in sentiment suffered by our social Somewhat doctors and political manipulators seems almost pain Different ful. Especially is this true of their pet hand-cuff or anti-strike schemes that have created so much discus sion. Just now little is heard from them about "public opinion," "the welfare of the people," "our industries," etc. Instead most of our "statesmen" who are left are now giving sober thought to their future careers, and 1924 and its possibilities are looming up more clearly with each new day. Had the November yoting been different, they would, of course, have construed such as a "clear-cut notice" and "full authority" from the people to apply the iron heel to their heart's content. But with the fall of such famed hand-cuffers as Senators Poin dexter and Kellogg, and with the decisive repudiation of Cummins and ex-Governor Allen of Kansas-all framers of anti-strike legisla tion-the rest have no overweening desire to commit political suicide, even to please their powerful and wealthy friends. The right to strike has never needed a defense outside of the legislative halls controlled by the agents of reaction, the conferences of open shoppers and lunatic asylums. So no defense is intended here. Out-and-out ownership of men has been rather unpopular since the Civil War-except with a few. And it is these privileged few and their agents who condemn the revolts of the workers today in about the same terms as were the revolts of the slaves in ancient days; and so now, as then, their representatives keep trying to devise 302 THE JOURNAL OF ELECTRICAL schemes, camouflaged in one manner or another, to hold the rebellious workers at their tasks. But there are few working people now left in this country who claim to be even partly intelligent but what know that compulsory arbitration is one of the biggest cheats and frauds ever known. For tunately they have learned much from New Zealand, Australia and Norway. There the workers were buncoed once and that was enough.
Electrical Employers We read and hear much about employers' Form Union Shop organizations. Such institutions are usually Organization formed for the purpose of fighting labor, and bringing employees into a state of subjection. On Monday, April 30, electrical employers met in the National Capital, and formed an organization having basic fundamental prin ciples of cooperating with employees and promoting the general wel fare of the two vital elements in the industry-employer and em~ ployee-and at the same time providing efficient and uninterrupted service to the public. At the meeting there assembled a large num ber of electrical employers interested in the building construction industry. The institution created at the meeting is known as the Union Shon Section of the International Electrasdsts. formerlv the National Electrical Contractors and Dealers' Associat{on. Like all events of real importance, this occurred without any blare of trumpets, but was a business-like gathering of the foremost contractors doing business in the United States and Cana.da, men whose names stand for all that is best in the electrical construction industry, and whose operations cover the greater part of the United States and a goodly portion of Canada; men whose hearts, as well as money, are in the electrical industry, and there to stay; and who have unselfishly labored to im prove the industry and to establish a rational policy of industrial relationship. Those gathered at the meeting believe that the future of the in dustry depends upon the efforts of those engaged in it to make it a calling of pride to those who labor with the tools of the trade, as well as those who conduct the technical and managerial functions of the industry. Contrary to the usual procedure in cases where new things of this nature are brought into being, this was not in any sense the birth of an organization dual to the International Association, or a breaking away from the original organization, but came about as the result of an action of the last convention of the International Electragists, wherein new laws were adopted providing for the formation of a Union Shop Section of the parent organization. Nor was it an insti tution created to oppress and deflate labor; rather, its purposes are the exact opposite-that of cooperating with those who toil, and gen erally improving the industry, thus elevating the economic status of all interested elements. The initial requisite to membership in this organization is the conducting of a Union shop, and the subscribing to and promotion of the principles of collective bargaining and peaceable settlement of differences with employees. Thus, there will be clear and well-defined lines of demarkation between the electrical contractors who desire to conduct their busi ness on the open shop or non-union shop basis, and those who are desirous of collective bargaining with their employees, affiliated with WORKERS AND OPERATORS 303 a responsible organization that insists upon equity and fair dealing in the interests of both parties and of the industry as a whole. It is not to be assumed that all members of the International Association who now conduct Union shops are at the present time members of the Union Shop Section, but it is fair to assume that within a short time they will be enrolled as members. As in the formation of Unions, or other organizations committed to progressive measures and ideals, it was a meeting of the hardy pioneers, possessed of the necessary moral stamina to unselfishly break trail for those who will follow when the trail is well-defined, and, cleared of the obstacles that suspicious imagination infests it with. The importance in the business world, and the unquestioned standing in the electrical construction industry, of the personnel attending the formation of this organization, as well as the unanimity of all the actions taken, assure the success of this new venture, as well as its growth and usefulness, not only to the electrical but to the building industry as a whole. The officers of the Brotherhood at headquarters on the date of the meeting were guests of this convention, by invitation of its foun ders, and were deeply gratified to observe the unqualified expressions of confidence in the future of the organization, as well as the avowal by all who took part therein to give their best effort to the establish ment of peace in industry, and we were made more hopeful than ever before that our craft as a whole was increasing its speed to its long cherished goal and ultimate destiny of leadership in all matters that go to make for industrial harmony and progress. The neWs of late years has been so often interspersed with notices of the formation of employers' organizations of various kinds, whose prime purpose and full intent was the elimination of the Unions, in the industries, and the protection of the sovereign (?) American workman from his organized associates in his craft or calling, that this decided departu're from the usual custom and practice is really refreshing and wholesome news for all who are in any manner en gaged in industry of any character. It would be erroneous to assume that the aims and objects of the Union Shop Employers will not meet with opposition of almost every sort and variety. There will be many employers who will, for a time, manifest opposition. There will be members of the Brotherhood who will try to deprecate the idea that it is possible to substitute agree ment for disagreement; to have peace instead of strikes and lock outs. Some such members will voice opposition sincerely, but from a lack of understanding; being unable to put out of their mind the inconsistencies of the past; some, because labor troubles are a source of personal profit; many others, beca use they are employed by cer tain interests to do so. It should be kept in mind that cooperation and harmony in industry remove the excuse for existence of the labor spy, gunman and thug. However, opposition is the very thing that nourishes a movement that is right. Organizations, like men pursu ing a proper course, are admired and respected for the enemies they make. Those responsible for the administration of the affairs of the Brotherhood have worked diligently to improve the conditions of those they represent, and to bring them the fullest possible return for their labor. We have considered it our duty to produce results with as little loss and sacrifice to the membership as circumstances would 304 THE JOVRNAL OF ELECTRICAL permit, and with such a policy, naturally we have sought to create the best possible friendly relationship with all employers. Therefore we extend a hearty welcome to the Union Shop insti tution. We believe that such a policy is constructive and profitable, even though it does not harmonize with the views of those wedded to the conclusion that nothing is gained except by wasteful and more spectacular methods. It is not difficult to harbor such conclusions, as they require the expenditure of no mental effort-an expenditure which many most violently resent.
