EDITORIAL

DEFEND OUR One of the most important questions confronting JURISDICTION. our organization is the jurisdictional invasions that several organizations of labor are attempting. It is our duty to resist these unfair and unwarranted intrusions by every means at our command, the electrical field seems to hold attrac­ tions that are sufficiently inviting to induce several organizations to attempt to appropriate certain branches of our trade for themselves, the success of their efforts will depend solely upon the Brotherhood's member­ ship, if we stand idly by and permit other organizations to grab off a portion of what rightfully belongs to us, we have no one to blame but ourselves. We have no desire to quarrel with anyone. Our chief aim is to mind our own business respect the jurisdiction rights of others and not inter­ fere with other organizations in their pursuit of better wages and con­ ditions. There is a possibility-that our organization has been too indifferent in this respect and the present attitude of certain organizations rather leads us to believe they misunderstand our passiveness to the extent that they have formed the opinion that we will not defend our rights and that they can trample them under foot at their pleasure. If this is the case they are badly mistaken for we are determined to control electrical work for electrical workers no matter what the cost may be and irrespective of whom it pleases or displeases. One concrete example of our effo~ts to adjust these questions by peaceful means is shown in the patience we have dis­ played with 1. A. T. S. E. or "Stage Employees," organization. Our efforts to settle our differences with this organization extends over a period of nearly ten years. We have entered into three different agreements with them. These agreements received the approval of labors highest tribunal the A. F. of L. but not withstanding this fact each and everyone was dis­ regarded by the other party and openly violated; patience has ceased to be a virtue with us. On such matters we have long submitted to encroach­ ments by others with the hope of eventually bringing about adjustments by conferences or other conciliatory methods, but these have failed. So from now on let every member be ready and willing to fight for the rights of the Electrical Worker. Don't be afraid of hurting the other fellows feeling. Keep in mind the fact that this question is a purely business mat­ ter. Many of our members carry the opinion that our Brotherhood has agreements with some organizations that confer upon those organizations the privilege to do electrical "work. Get this out of your head immediately as there are no agreements ....:'ting which confers this right to any other organization. Our charter rights gives 'us jurisdiction over all electrical work and it is our duty to see those rights respected. The St. Paul convention took a positive position on these matters so now it is up to the general member­ ship to do likewise. We know if every member will do their duty that the near future will prove that those who are now showing contempt for. our rights will change their views and entertain a wholesome respect for the 1. B. E. VY. WORKERS AND qPERATORS. 167

"IT'S OVER." The thirteenth regular convention has closed and now stands as part of the Brotherhood's history. Fifteen days of discussion was considered necessary by those attending to dispose of the various matters up for consideration, therefore, it would seem there remains little cause for anyone to complain that they did not have an opportunity to discuss their pet propositions or that "gag" rule prevailed. Much progressive legislation was considered and will be submitted to the members for approval or rejection by referendum. Among some of the important measures proposed is the establishing of a difficulty and total disability benefit. These, if adopted, will prove to be valuable addi­ tions to our present benefits. The difficulty benefit has long been advo­ cated and experience has shown us the necessity of providing for those of our members who are called upon to resist unfair employers. The convention was as liberal as our finances would permit in voting assistance to local unions involved in difficulty. The large number of requests for aid received further demonstrates the need of a defense fund .. '" and the payment of a difficulty benefit, if the proposed establishment of this feature does not meet with the approval of the general membership. We at least can feel we are not responsible, for a sincere effort was made to place the matter in all its important phases before the convention and we are satisfied the delegates on their return will do likewise in their respec­ tive local unions. Many incidents, both humorous and serious occured to momentarily attract the serious minded delegates from the important matters they were particularly interested in, these incidents covered almost every range of action from rides in Bro. Fishers "Doc Yac" to side show attractions that some one hundred odd delegates participated in, an indeavor it is claimed to make the other fellow see the merit of certain proposed leg-islation, aside from a few unpleasant incidents, we belive the convention will be voted a success by nearly all especially the ladies who attended both as delegates and visi­ tors. Incidentally the successful candidates for office we presume con­ sider it a great success, at all events that is the way the writer feels and believes that same feeling quite accurately quotes the sentiment of his associate officials. N ow that the convention is a matter of history we hope and believe that every member will do their utmost to serve the best interest of the Brotherhood. If all officers and members do this we cannot but help to make progress during the coming two years, so let our slogan be "Boost" not "Knock."

SCHENECTADY'S EIGHT The employees of the General Electric HOUR STRIKE. Co., are at the present time involved in a strike for an eight hour work day, their efforts are meeting the usual resistance displayed by employers who cannot see the advantage or justice of shorter hours of toil. Not one sound argument has been advanced by the Company against the establishment of a shorter work day, the only one is it will reduce earnings and affect dividends. Economic history shows this contention untrue and wholly without merit, but still it is the same old shop worn argument that is always trotted out with the hopes of convincing the employee that to enforce this equitable order of employment would be busi­ ness suicide. This claim is having just about as much effect today upon the American toiler as the full dinner pail campaign slogan which was so effectively used upon the voting public a few years back has in present day elections and the men and women of toil have decided to obtain for 168 THE JOURNAL OF ELECTRICAL themes elves that which is due them. No· corporation can permanently resist this just request and the General Electric Company will not prove an exception to the rule. This firm has long recognized the necessity of a short work day for their office employees who are only required to work 440 hours per week and number several thousand. V.,re are glad of this and believe the treatment accorded the office employees is proper and do not envy them their more favorable conditi'ons and the factory employ­ ees would at all times stand ready to assist them to make further improve­ ments, but at the same time believe they are entitled to equal consideration. We desire to quote the argument advanced by the company for establish­ ing better conditions for the office employees. These arguments in sub­ stance are that office work is largely brain work and that it is a universal condition for shorter hours in office than factory. Well this can be as it may but the toiler intends to establish for himself conditions second to none therefore the employees of the General Electric Company have taken the initiative in establishing a new universal order of things in the factory where brains and brawn both are necessary. Our membersship involved in this difficulty numbers about three thousand and the general membership of our organization have an oppor­ tunity of rendering valuable assistance to them, for the products of this giant electrical corporation reaches every city, village and hamlet in the country and every member of the Brotherhood' has an opportunity of giving this firms product the treatment it deserves until they show that they are entitled to favorable consideration from the labor movement. Millions and millions of dollars worth of business has reached this com­ pany on account of their Schenectady factory being organized. The company is well aware of this fact and believe that a general knowl­ edge of their present attitude will not be made public for as usual the press of the country gives a very small amount of space to the difficulty and endeavors to conceal the true facts, so if every member of organized labor will give the strike publicity we know the effect will be valuable to our members employed by this concern. This is your duty, so do it without hesitation.

WE ARE This issue will reach our readers somewhat later than usual LATE. and we hope they will bear with us and be patient as possible. Remember we are just human, we could not devote our time to routine business for the past four weeks, as all our time was taken up by conven­ tion matters which are in themselves enough to keep us very busy for some time to come, for don't lose sight of the fact that referendums must be prepared and submitted, accumulated business to be disposed of and then sandwich in sufficient time to get out an edition of our Journal. So kindly permit us to draw a little more than usual on your patience.

When the arc is pro­ moment and then drawn apart to a short duced in the air the carbons slowly burn distance, a kind of electric flame called away by oxidisation. It is observed, also, the voltaic arc is produced between the that particles of carbon are torn away pOints of carbon, and a brilliant light is from the + electrode, which becomes hol­ emitted by the white hot points of the lowed out to a cup-shape, and some of carbon electrodes. This phenomenon was these are deposited on the - electrode, first noticed by Humphry Davy in 1800, which assumes a pointed form, as shown and its explanation appears to be the fol- in Fig. 137. The resistance of the arc may vary, according to circumstances, from 0.5 ohm to nearly 100 ohms. It is also found that the arc exerts an opposing electromotive-force of its own of about 39 volts when the arc is quiet, or 15 volts when hissing. To produce an electric light satisfac­ torily a minimum electromotive-force of 40-50 volts is necessary; and as the cur­ rent must be at least from 5 to 10 or more amperes, it is clear that the internal re­ sistance of the battery or generator must be kept small. With weaker currents or smaller electromotive-forces it is imprac­ ticable to maintain a steady arc. The internal resistance of the ordinary Dan­ iell's or Leclanche's cells (as used in te­ legraphy) is too great to render them serviceable for producing electric lights. A battery of 40-60 Grove's cells (Art. 171) is efficient, but will not last more than 2 or 3 hours. A dynamo-electric machine (such as described in Art. 407 to 411), worked by a steam-engine, is the best gen­ erator of currents for practical electric lighting. The quantity of light emitted by an electric lamp is disproportionate to the strength of the current; and is, with­ in certain limits, proportional to the lowing:-Before contact the difference of s(luare of the heat developed, or to the potential bet\veen the points is insufficient fourth power of the strength of the cur­ to permit a spark to leap across even rent.
