The Fighting Machinists A Century of Struggle by Robert G. Rodden Formatted and made available electronically by William LePinske Cover design by Elaine Poland and Charlie Micallef "Without machinists there could be no machines; they make the die and the basic tools from which the machines are made. From the initial blueprint the machinist fashions the original tool-the first step in the process. His is the essential skill at the core. He holds the key that unlocks the mystery of the mechanical age. He makes the miracle." Tom Tippett IAM Director of Education 1947-1956 1 God watches over Drunks, Old Ladies, Little Children and The International Association of Machinists (Old Machinists saying) ... And if he won't fight he ain't a Machinist. (Printable part of another, even older Machinists saying) 2 Dedication The history of the Machinists Union is dedicated to a unique brotherhood of roving machinists who were known as boomers. They knew each other by such names as Dutchy Bigelow, Milwaukee Bill, Fireball McNamara and Red Clifford . Texas Frank, Black Jack Roberts, Windy Lane and Silverheel Smith… Crusty Paulson, Happy Anderson, Big Nose Brennan and Steampipe McDermott . Smoky Davis, Silk Hat John Kelly, Yankee Tim Sullivan and Hard Luck Bob Carson . Gabby Cook, Shanty Frank Shannon, Pittsburgh Murphy and Highball Mooney . Kid Richardson, Deacon Hague, Pay Day Conners and Scarface Charlie. It is dedicated to these and all the other unknown, unsung, and unremembered boomer machinists who fought, cussed, drank, rode the rails . and built a union. But most of all it is dedicated to Pete Conlon…the greatest boomer of them all. 3 Author’s Foreword And Acknowledgements From the time of its founding in 1888 to the present, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) has had eleven International presidents, For almost three decades I was privileged to work as a special assistant to four of them. When my first boss, Al Hayes, finished his apprenticeship and joined the IAM in 1918 many of the early founders were still active. From Hayes and other old-timers, many of whom are now gone, I first heard the stories and legends that fired my interest in the history of the Machinists Union, In college and graduate school I took a number of courses in U.S. labor history. But I did not appreciate how much the IAM had contributed to the progress of American labor until I met and worked and became friends with Howard Tausch, Rudy Faupal, Bill Dameron, Charlie West and the many other fine old representatives who were stationed at Grand Lodge when I first began to work there. As one of the oldest unions in the United States and Canada, the Machinists have a long and proud history. And yet when I went to the union's leadership schools to talk to local lodge leaders about the struggles that built their union, I generally met a kind of institutional amnesia. Even business representatives and Grand Lodge representatives who were deeply dedicated to the IAM had little concept of the colorful richness of their union's tradition. At local lodge meetings and Grand Lodge Conventions speakers often referred to the IAM as the "Fighting Machinists" but few knew the origins of that proud expression, partly this was because those who made the union's history were usually too busy to write it. Written accounts of the union's history were not only scarce, but tended to be either self-serving propaganda or dry-as-dust academic treatises. Feeling the need for a history that steered a course somewhere between puffery and ponderousness I began to set down this story of The Fighting Machinists. Although admittedly motivated by admiration and affection for the people who built this union, I have tried to maintain a reasonable degree of objectivity. Since this history of the Machinists was written for machinists l have dispensed with source footnotes and other impedimenta that normally serve as evidence of scholarship. However, I set out to create an account that was accurate even when it was not flattering. I am satisfied that to the best of my ability I have done so. My sources consisted primarily of the Machinist Monthly Journal, published from 1889 to 1956. Proceedings of Grand Lodge Conventions, Executive Council minutes and the Machinists newspaper. But I am also indebted to many people who supplemented these sources from their own experiences or memory either orally or in unpublished written accounts. Among those I especially wish to thank are: Alice Chase, an employee at Grand Lodge from 1915 to 1965, who shared her personal impressions of the generation of leaders that included William H Johnston, Emmit Davison, Arthur Wharton and Pete Conlon. 4 George Pearlman, now deceased, a rank-and-file IAM member spent his retirement digging into the union's earliest days and uncovered persuasive evidence that the true founder of Labor Day was a machinist mate Matt Maguire. George Watkins, retired GVP, whose phenomenal memory of experience as a delegate to the 1948 grand Lodge convention contributed to the reconstruction of the off the record debates that eliminated the color bar in the ritual. Frank Heisler, retired airline coordinator, who helped to fill in the story of the early organizing days in the airline industry. Tom Tippett, the IAM's first education director, whose unpublished history of District Lodge 751, written in retirement, was essential in discussing significant events involving members employed by Boeing in Seattle. Hal Shean, retired GL R, and Neil Vander cook, editor of District Lodge 727’s American Aeronaut, for details on the early years at Lockheed in Burbank. Harold Shaw, retired district 54 business rep, for reminiscence and company brochures relating to the so-called workers’ paradise at the Jack and Heintzs company in Cleveland during World War II. Bob Brown, GLR, Great Lakes territory, who contributed to a number of sections including the Exodus from the UV, the tragedy that led to Indiana's compulsory open shop law and the successful campaign that culminated in its repeal. Joe Cott, retired district 54 business rep, for help in narrating the IAM’s role in defeating a right to work for less referendum in Ohio in 1958. Paul Brunsky, president of the AF L-CIO’s metal trades Department, for his help recreating certain dramatic events in Chicago in the 1950’s. Frank Waldner, administrative assistant to the transportation GVP and George Robinson. Director of the IAM's OSHA and community services Department, for clarifying underlying issues in the great airline strike 1966. Jean Glover, GST, and Jerry law Rawlings, machinist associate editor, who is on the spot participation contributed to the account of events at McDonnell Douglas in St. Louis in 1969. Gordon Cole, editor of the Machinists from 1947 to 1977, who helped enormously throughout the work by responding willingly and frequently to questioned about the many personalities and events with which he was associated. Oscarr Jager, veteran trade unionist, writer, editor and consultant (now retired) who’s editing undoubtedly made the manuscript more readable. 5 Janice DiPasquale, grand Lodge librarian, repeatedly and cheerfully accepted the challenge of tracking down needed materials all over Washington and who helped in so many other ways from start to finish. Judith Rodden Young, my daughter, the high school English teacher, who got more than she bargained for when she volunteered to check and correct the mistakes in grammar and punctuation. And finally, Barbara Oster, my secretary, who not only typed and then patiently retyped the manuscript through a number of revisions and editing, but said it would have gone a lot faster if she had not found it so interesting to read.

They were hard years. Times had never been easy for working men and women in the 19th Century. But the decades that followed the Civil War were especially brutal. These were years of massive unemployment, widespread poverty and a level of human suffering hard to imagine today. During one typical winter of the 1870's, Harper's Weekly reported that 900 people starved to death in New York.

  • Building a Battle Station Model by Russell Barnes
    Building a Battle Station Model By Russell Barnes I. Introduction The summer is usually a pretty difficult time for me to work in my workshop. Chores abound around the house and there is seemingly some-thing to do almost every day that precludes any useful time spent in the workshop. The summer of 2004 was no different. By the time late July rolled around, I was desperate. I had not made anything for over a month. Something had to be done. What to do? Then it hit me. I was looking over the latest Model Expo catalogue and saw they still offered kit models of small battle stations. Not wanting to build a kit, I saw the potential for a quick scratch built project. Over the next two weeks I built a battle station model that turned out to be quite a conversation piece. As fate would have it, that model was destroyed when Hurricane Katrina washed away the local museum. I have decided to replace the battle station model, but it occurred to me that others might benefit from my experience having built it. So, I redrew the plans, making some improve-ments, and decided to set down a guide to building the model. I am not an expert and I make no claim that my methods are the only way to build the model. Someone building from these plans should view my words as a collection of helpful hints rather than a map to follow in order to arrive at a desired result. I envision this project as an introduction to scratch building.

  • Trade-Union Policy Between the Wars the Case of Holidays with Pay in Britain*
    STEPHEN G. JONES TRADE-UNION POLICY BETWEEN THE WARS THE CASE OF HOLIDAYS WITH PAY IN BRITAIN* Most standard histories of Britain between the wars refer to the develop- ment of holidays with pay, albeit briefly. It is widely acknowledged that by the end of the 1930's the majority of the British working population benefited from a paid holiday. The crucial initiative, so it is claimed, was the Holidays with Pay Act of 1938, which gave Parliamentary approval to the principle of payment of wages during holidays.1 Clearly the growth of paid holidays is seen as yet another instance of a more affluent Britain, an integral element of the growth of leisure.2 However, there has been very little detailed discussion of the paid-holiday-policy option and the precise reasons for the formulation and implementation of that policy. This neglect is rather surprising given the popular support for this "fringe benefit", which was perceived as providing a certain degree of financial security during the annual break from the rigours of work. It is true that there has been more specialised treatment, but even this is of a general nature, with little reference to the industrial and political struggle for holidays with pay.3 * I would like to thank Dr M. E. Rose, Professor A. E. Musson and members of the Editorial Board for their helpful comments. 1 See C. L. Mowat, Britain Between the Wars 1918-1940 (London, 1955), p. 501; D. H.

The central research question concerns whether urbanisation represents a general tendency that might provide an immanent dialectical basis for a new spatial politics. I deploy the concept of class composition to address this question. In Italian Autonomist Marxism (AM), class composition is understood as the conceptual and material relation between ‘technical’ and ‘political’ composition: ‘technical composition’ refers to organised capitalist production, capital’s plans as it were; ‘political composition’ refers to the degree to which collective political organisation forms a basis for counter-power.
