It must be met in an intelligent and businesslike manner, it must be met squarely and on its merits. Promises of future actions by anyone are not worth the time it takes to make them and those chosen by the membership to direct the affairs of the Brother hood under the laws laid down for their guidance would be lax in their duty and recreant to the trust and confidence reposed in them by the mem bership if they did not point out to them the very apparent facts regarding the activities of those who would willingly wreck the organization to further their political or personal interests. The duty of those intrusted with stewardship is plain; the cleverly concealed pitfalls must be pointed out, if the membership, after being shown the danger, chooses to approve with open eyes, then no power can save them from the result. The facts are that a certain group within the Brotherhood are launch ing a campaign to destroy the usefulness of the Brotherhood, for at least the coming two years, for the sole purpose of creating as much dissatis faction as possible. Their political propaganda is, make things so miser able that the members will revolt. This "wobbly" propaganda is no new thing, but the success of our Bolshevikis depend on disorder and chaos. Their cry is making things so bad that the membership will cry, "give us anything but what we have," and thereby create a chance for the advocates of dissention and disruption to exploit the organization now grown big and powerful despite all their efforts for the past ten years to disrupt 'and weaken it, to make of it an organization such as the employers would delight in and take comfort from and advantge of. , All other means known to them having failed they now propose to get the support of those to whom a pennywise policy will appeal. They say, "dear brother, our policy will save you fifteen cents ($0.15) every month, and dear sister, our remedy is good and great, it will save for you ten cents ($0.10) per month, keep it and grow rich with thy frugality." Why not be consistent and tell them the same story told by the employer? Why pay dues at all, save the whole amount and grow rich more quickly, if the dear employers will do as well for you unorganized as you can force them to do by means of your organization. The proposition now put by them to the membership for vote is whether the per capita received from the male members will be reduced to twenty-five cents ($0.25) and from the female members to fifteen cents ($0.15). Cutting- the revenue received from the men thirty-seven and one-half per cent (37Yz%) and from the female members forty per cent (40%), wip ing out the defense fund and cutting down the general fund to half its present proportions, this despite the fact that they know that the general fund has never been adequate to meet the demands made by the local unions for representatives. They know this as one of the eastern represen tatives of this movement told us right after the last convention. We will cut your revenue in half that will force you to withdraw the men on the road, the little locals will then be without anyone with experience to repre- 388 THE JOURNAL OF ELECTRICAL sent them and "we'll sure raise hell then!" Surely a commendable object to strive for. They know that every successful local in the Brotherhood has been compelled to raise their dues in order to meet the increased cost of doing business; they know that every live local has forced a material raise in pay for their members to meet the increased cost of living; they know that every commodity that the Brotherhood is compelled to buy, to transact business, has increased in cost from 50 per cent to 200 per cent. They know that the revenue of the Brotherhood suffered a material cut when in the neighborhood of five thousand of our members are issued war service cards free of cost, a loss of two thousand dollars per month in revenue; they know that with a large portion of our men in the signal, radio and aero units we can expect heavy demands on our death benefit funds. As they well know that every member in the service is guaranteed continuous standing and full benefits, everyone must realize that this added to the usual death rate of the Brotherhood may any day prove a shock, that it will take all our resources to meet. \Ve know that more and more of our men will be taken for military service and that the drain will become greater rather than less, and yet the attempt is made to take away practically forty per cent of the legal revenue and then create a demand for a full measure of service from the International. But they say we will keep this money in the locals and do our own work with it, put our own representatives out and pay them. In the big local unions it would amount to a sum worthy of consideration, but what of the small locals of from twenty to one hundred members or even two hundred? The local of two hundred would save thirty dollars per month, will that pay a man in the field? And when they come to negotiate agreements or settle difficulties will the payment of this sum to anyone secure experienced service for them? And the small local is a feeder to the the big one, if their interests suffer and they have very low scales of wages it means their footloose members migrate to the big centers where the big money is and creates oversupply of labor there, which condition works to the detriment of all concerned. The International organization is exactly like the local on an enlarged scale. The local that tries to do business on a cheap scale (low dues) sel dom, if ever, becomes a potent factor for good to its members in this day and age, and the International that adopts a pennywise policy is already on the road down hill. Our underground artists" by the timely circulation of printed lies, suc ceeded in defeating all progressive legislation proposed by the convention. Also deprived our membership of a difficulty benefit in case of trouble. They figure they have the Brotherhood slowed down on an upgrade and now they propose to give it one great push backward in hopes of wrecking it completely, raise their wobbly flag over the wreck and shout, "see our power." We look for more of the "hell brew" to be poured out, but rely on the ..,i common sense of our membership. Once the danger is pointed out to them. This rule or ruin policy has made of unhappy Russia a door mat for the conscienceless Hun. The enemy without has failed to stop our progress and his only hope js the help of the wrecker within. Your organization is just as good or just as bad as you make it. The effective organization pays bigger dividends to its members on the money invested than any other investment ever made by man. A useless thing that seems cheap is dear at any price. The members have a chance to choose; express your choice by your ballot, and we don't believe that by your vote you will give this group of WORKERS AND OPERATORS 389 disruptionists the opportunity to laying the Brotherhood at the bosses' feet and say, "See, dear master, its teeth are pulled, its effectiveness destroyed, you have no more to fear, no barrier lies between you and your greed." Brothers, it's up to you. \Vhich will you choose? Agents of the big companies within our ranks are there to cause as . much confusion and distrust as possible; they are always active members. Watch them. ------.., 1 ( \" 390 THE JOURNAL OF ELECTRICAL L. U. Number. L. U. Number. L. U.
