On .Tuly 30, 1931, I vrrote Dr. Arbogast as follows: "We are in receipt of your final report of personal injury, Form 151, wherein you state that the period of disability due to the above injury extended from the 6th day of March, 1931, to the 10th day of .Tuly, 19 31. "We feel that this period of disability - 4 months and three days - is excessive for an injury of this character and we are wondering if Mr. McTee has been carried for a longer period than was actually necessary. iJ/e are aware that the infection would no doubt extend the period of disability, but our Safety Engineer, llr. Murray, is of the opinion that the amount of time lost account of an injury of this character is unusual." �-2- vre received the followin g reply from him on .Tuly 319 1931: 11-r have your inquiry the tenor of which seems to question the length of time I gave .Toe McTee temporary total disability because of the injury he received lla.rol5pl93lo You -will notice ' from your primary report that he received a contusion 9 laceration and fracture of the fourth fi nger of his right hand, which means & comp ound fracturel) c,lready infected, as are all acci dental wounds, and this means where bone is involved that the length of time that a total disability may _be incurred may be all the way from three to four months 9 until the limb is amputated depending larg ely upon the kind or type of infection and the resistance of the mano In the case of Illro McTeel) the infection Vias considerable and drained about 10 -weeks, after v,hich time it healed up but only temporarily to reopen and drain because of a rekindling of the infectiono Then after draining some three or four weeks, reheale d and after a few days he developed pain which existed almost to the time I made my final reporto The resulting pain in the latter part of his trouble was caused by _a pressure due to a partial ldndling up again of the infection as well as a congestion which is an atterr..g;)t on the part of nature to bring ab out a final healing in the Osteogenet ic process of regeneration. I did not make final report for Mr. McTee until I could be reasonably sure that there would be no recurrence of the infectiono 11 1 am sorry that you and your safety engineer :(ee.l that Mr. McTee has been extended more leniency in tenworary total disability than is usual to ·give. I feel sure that of course you are neither prompted by ulterior motives, but that your conclusion is accounted for by a complete lack of knowledge of pathology which unfortunately laymen in your position are without. I feel sure that if you and Ur. Murray could be possessed of the necessary lmowledge of pathology to understand these things you would feel entirely in ace ord with the length of disability in this case.~ Vlhen Mr. Murray instructed me to dispute: the claim, I called llr. McTee into the office and informed him regarding the stand we took in the matter and asked him as to his feeling in regard �to insisting on bein g paid for the full time of disability. He advised me that it was his intention to claim compensation for the period indicated in the doctor's final reporto I assisted him in preparing an Employee's Report and Claim, which ·was filed by him with the Clerk of the District Courto I would like your opinion as to what should be done in the matter of settlement of this claimo � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Jamee Smith and Albert Omoda were working on what le known as the m1dn1ght or early morning shift and vere assigned to transoort a motor and control panels to a recently oonetructed hoist room at No . 2 Slope, No . 7 Seam . Thi a material was 1n mine onre and an 8-ton haulage locomotive was used . man , Mr . Steven L. Unit Fore- ooompan1ed the~c men to supervise the work . After unloading the equipment at the hoist room, the men cleaned up some coal along the slope and rerockdusted the slope and hoist room which 1s above the ms1n entry parting . pproxi mately 4,000 feet Mr . Thomas Miller, Fire Bose, ¥as the first man to reach the inJured men, and reports that these men had videntl7 used the locomotive· as n means or trans~ortat1on to the outside parting at the end or the shift , and they had three loaded mine oara. They ev1dentiy failed to use auft1c1ent skids or brakes on the trip to control it and lost control of the locomotive on hich the men were riding , and the locomotive derailed pproximatel7 7Q feet above the ma1n parting or sidetrack and threw these men sga1nat the rib or coal . The three ot them were seriously injured. James M. Smith died at the Memorial Hospital on Ma7 27; the other �i - 2 - men , Steven L . Babel and Albert Oiaoda are reported to be re- oover1ng 1n good condition. A more thorough investigation will be made reg di ng this a ccid ent as soon .~ Kr .

His total length of service is approximately l month ancl. 2 weeks. Ur. Smith expired at the Memorial Hospital of ST;eet,,-ater County on ?!.ay Z1, 1950. As of this date, the other two men remain in a serious condition but are showing si~s of improvement and·we hnve hopes for their recovery. We pcraonolly investigated the accident on the morning of Uoy 25 after receipt of telephone call at approximately 7:00 A.ti. on that date advi1ing of the accident. �-2Our investigation clcvolop3d that ·i;h0 throe men v1ere assigned nork on the no .. 3 Shift reporting fN" VJOl"'k at; lli 30 '?.11. on ''icdnesday, ~!ay 24, and their shift scheduled to ond a'i:, 7 8 30 A.M. on liey 25.

'i'lie uere advised by the fire boss, Thomas l!illerl) tho.t due to tho oen not reporting at the nain pa.rting of No. 1 Slopa, r:o. 7 Seam, nt approximately 7:00 A.t. that he traveled into the main purl.in,g of No. 2 Slop3 location and found the three cars and locomotive derailed apprmd..ma·liely 75 feat fro:a the slopo s,·,itch; also that he f' ound l.:essrs. Snit.h 3 Br.hel and Omoda tlong the low rib at the pillar point in e.. semi-conscious condition and it ~as hi.a opinion that they \'lore thrO\"m i'ro:n the trip due to same being out of control nnd d.erallcc:l upon entering the r,:,n.in pn.rtine snitch. The lunch buckets of tho three men \"Tero found at tho scene of tho • accident and all indicntiona nre to the effect that they were leaving their working place ancl using tho locomotive and three cars as .rn.eans of transportetion to the no. 2 3lopo Unin Parting et the time or the P..ccidcnt. \'le there- fore conclude thot tho occident occurred at the end of the t'lorking shitt • The rules governing the operation of the motor trip at this location require the uee of t,10 shoes or ekide on the pit cors. One shoe or ekid was found in the center of the track approximatel,y 2,000 feet above �3the point of accident o observed. I1o othei" ov-idence of use of skids or· shoes rias ;ie therefore assune that, t,he rules governing the operation of the trip ·nere either not oboorvcd or tho shoe left the tJheel nnd rail du0 to excessive rate of speed 01. the ·Gz-ipo A check of the condition of ·e,!10 haulage locomotive was rrir.de immediately follo·r1ing the accident. The sanders nere full and oparating,; th0 mechanical brake and dynamic brake 20chanism 11ere also in good opera.ting condit,ion. We had hoped to ifain some further information from the injured ;:,;orknen, but due to their physical condition vie have been unable to secure ~rthine from this source. It is our opinion that tho accident was caused by violation of safety rule in employing shoes or skids to the descending trip. Due to the length of locomotive haul involved and the gradient, orders were issued on May 25 to discontinue the use of locomot,ive haulage and complete the hoist installation before ,axecuting any further devalop- ment work 1n this area.

I received your letter of November 24 with copy of Mr. Peternell 1 s report of injury to William L. Russell in D.O. Clark Mine, injured November 16, 1950. An injury of this kind appears to be so usele~s and indicates a definite lack of instructions to haulage men. I understand that there was very little coal being mined in the No. 9 Seam and the haulageway was not in any way crowded, and the'peculiar circumstances under which Mr. Russell was injured may cause an investigation by the Federal inspectors and elicit some criticism. I would sugge·s t that another campaign be put on to inform all supervisors andhirv~e them in turn to instf'uct all haulage men as to the proper handling of mine cars underground. All haulage men should bo instructed in the dangers of coupling cars while moving, or attempting to couple cars on the short side of a curve; and they should be instructed not to get on the low or close side of the tracks under any circumstances while cars are in motion. Our foremen should be instructed to keep familiar with our book of standards and book of rules. RECEIVED DEC 21950 �_______!',...- - - - - - -- Rock Springs - November 2l~, 1950 r.rr. I. N.

Welch, bony picker, at Reliance. This represents a condition that should be thoroughly investigated. It the conveyor sto.rted up without any controls being handled, then the wiring would have to be defective. If the conveyol' wae started by the use of the controls while IY:r. ;folch was in the position he was on the conveyor, handling the screening plate, it represents a lack of proper caution and, to say the least, a very dangerous practice. Suggest that you have a thorough investigation mad.e and bring this to my attention for further discussion. �Reck ~iprincs - Lo.y 21+ , 1950 �Eoc '. c Spriur;s - fja.y a . 1960 I }-----.:.,..

I An inJ.u ry of this kind appears to be so usele-ss and indicates a definite lack of instructions to haulage men. I understand that there 't1as very little coal being mined in the No. 9 Seam and the haulageway was not in any t:1ay crowded, and the peeuliar circumstances under which Mr. Russell was injured may cause an investigation by the Federal inspectors and elicit some criticism. 1 0 I would suggest that another campaign be put on to inform all supervisors andhlave them in turn to instfouct all haulage men as to the proper handling of mine cars underground. All haulage men should be instructed in the dangers of coupling cars while moving , or attempting to couple cars on the short side of a curve; and they should be instructed not to get on the low or close s ide of the tracks under any oircumstances while cars are in motion. Our foremen should be instructed to keep familiar with our book of standards and book of rules . RECEI VED DEC 21950 I �/7 ,,,/,,/ ;tock Sprin~s - November 24, 1950 .,. /1• N.

This represents a condition that should be thoroughly investigated. I ~ the conveyor sta.rted up without any controls being handled, then the wiring would have to be defective. If the conveyor waE started by the uee of the controls while ~~r . ~·lelch was in the position he was on the conveyor , handling the screening plate, lt represents a l ack of proper caution and, to say the least, a very dangerous practice.

I ts publication is sponsored by Engineers Joint Council•:~ (E.J.C.) and the National Society of Professional Engineers (N.S.P.E.). The draft was reviewed and approved by Joint Council's Committee on the Economic Status of the Engineer* on which committee N.S.P.E. has three representatives, as has each of the five societies represented •on Engineers Joint Council. The original draft was prepared by Dr. Waldo E. Fisher, Professor of Industry at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, for the Committee on Collective Bargaining and Related Matters':• of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers ( A.I.E.E.). When it was decided that the publication of such a Manual should be sponsored jointly by E.J.C. and N.S.P.E., it was suggested that the manuscript, as originally prepared for A.I.E.E., but with modifications to make it acceptable to the other five societies, should be used as the basis for the Manual. T his suggestion was promptly endorsed by A.I.E.E. Accordingly, the Committee on Collective Bargaining by Engineers in Professional Work,* a Survey Committee of the Committee on the Economic Status of the Engineer, was assigned the task of working with Dr. Fisher to make the desired modifications in the A.I.E.E. manuscript. Although the primary purpose of the Manual is to provide professional employees with accurate information pertaining to Collective Bargaining under the National Labor Relations Act as now written, 64 • Sec page 6. Chapter III examines certain proposals £or modifying the Act which have come to the attention of the several committees which have had a part in preparing the Manual. Because some of these proposals seem to be based on inaccurate or incomplete information, it was felt that it would be helpful to professional employees to have accurate information on such matters also. It is the intention of the sponsors to present in the Manual an objective analysis which should be helpful to professional employees in forming their own conclusions regarding collective bargaining, unionization and possible revisions of the National Labor Relations Act. The complete Manual is divided into three parts with appropriate Appendix sections, the three parts being: I : The National Labor Relations Act and Professional Employees Part ll: Collective Bargaining, Mediation and Arbitration Part III: The Objectives, Structure and Tactics of Labor Organizations Part In the interest of getting accurate information into the hands of professional employees at the • earliest possible date, the present issue includes Part 1 only. The manuscript for Parts 2 and 3 is being reviewed and will be released for publication just as soon as possible. FOR THE COMMITTEE ON THE ECONOMIC STATUS OF THE ENGINEER I.

BARTOW VAN NEss, JR., Chief Engineer, Safe Harbor Water Power Corp., Baltimore, Md. 7 INTRODUCTION IN THE UNITED STATES, from the beginning of the factory system until sometime after the passage of the National Labor Relations Act, the great majority of industrial employees dealt with their employers as individuals in establishing wages, hours, and conditions of employment. During this period the spirit of extreme individualism which dominated the frontier civilization of a century ago continued to prevail in the field of employer-employee relations. Organized labor failed to secure or maintain a foothold in many industries or sections of industries. Prior to 1933, it had succeeded in the industries dependent upon hand skill and in the decentralized trades and industries consisting in a large measure of small or relatively small firms or corporations. Its greatest achievements had been in the building trades, in steam railroads and electric and street railways, in the clothing industries, in anthracite and bituminous coal mining, in printing and publishing, in theatres and music, and to a lesser extent in the glass, clay, and stone industries. The transportation and building unions represented about one-half of the total union membership.1 Generally speaking, it was a movement of wage earners, but it did embrace unions of clerical workers and certain professional employees, notably actors, musicians, and teachers. After I 929 certain conditions and events brought about drastic changes in the employer-employee relationships of this country. Important among the factors which have accounted for these changes are ( I ) the prolonged depression which intensified the universal urge for economic security; (2) the National Industrial Recovery Act of 1933 which, so far as the nonagricultural industries were concerned, established industrial codes that guaranteed employees the right to organize and bargain collectively, and that sought to augment purchasing power by raising wages and to increase employment by reducing hours of work;= (3) social legislation designed to provide greater income and security for employees through the establishment of minimum labor standards and various types of social insurances as well as assistance to the needy, (4-) the National Labor Relations Act of 1935 which 1 Footnotes appear at the ,nd of each section or chapter protected the right of labor to organize and bargain collectively, (5) the resulting growth in the membership and power of organized labor, especially in the mass production industries, (6) the split in the American Labor Movement, and (7) the shortage of manpower occasioned by World War II. When the National Industrial Recovery Act was passed in June 1933, some three million workers in the United States were associated with labor organizations whose jurisdiction extended beyond the scope of a single company-well over two-thirds of them being in unions affiliated with the American Federation of Labor; another million and a quarter employees belonged to plant-wide or company-wide unions; while the remainder-some twenty million industrial workers-formulated their terms and conditions of employment by means of individual bargaining. The forces and conditions enumerated above threatened to disrupt many long-established employeremployee relationships. The adjustments which followed were accompanied with a large measure of industrial strife, which was to be expected inasmuch as the recovery legislation and the efforts of unions compressed into a few years far-reaching modifications in the relationships between employers and employed which in most countries took decades of gradual change. In the years that followed the passage ,of the National Industrial Recovery Act and especially the enactment of the National Labor Relations Act, labor unions conducted intensive organizing campaigns which, aided by Federal agencies, in particular by the directives of the National War Labor Board on the maintenance of membership, were extraordinarily successful. At the close of 1945, "about 13.8 million workers were covered by written collective-bargaining agreements".• During these years the character of the American Labor Movement underwent considerable change. This change was accentuated by the existence of two powerful competing national federations-the American Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Organizations. Of real importance, also, was the United Mine Workers of America, which played �[ 8 INTRODUCTION . 1 c.-t ;,., the formation of the CIO, later a maJor ro e, w~ ... di f d as an independent competitor of the two lea ~g e erations of labor, and more recently as an ~~ate of the A. F. of L. To retain or win leadership in the field, these organizations found it necessary to e,,-p~d . • • diction and to increase their membership. thell' J\IDS • hich Under aggressive leadership, the moveme~t (w had been confined in the main to production work• ers) spread first to clerical workers and then to professional employees. It cannot be assumed, however, that the growth of labor organizations among professional employees is due only to the activities of outside unions. A minority of engineers has shown an interest in coll~ctive bargaining through the medium of strong labor organizations. Several factors may account for this development. In the first place, the number of professional men in industry has grown substantially during the last quarter of a century. It should be noted that their role is largely that of an employee rather than a consultant, and that in many companies large numbers are engaged on specialized aspects of engineering work. A minority of these employees has revealed a deep dissatisfaction with the limited character of their work, much of which involves "routine clerical testing or other work which a competent semi-techni~ cal assistant could handle". Some of them are "generally or extremely dissatisfied" with their salaries and complain of the supervision they receive as well as the lighting, noise, and dirt on the job and the space allotted to them. Moreover, they resent the lack of opportunity to get ahead and the failure of managem~~ to keep them informed concerning company policies ~d other matters of interest and importance to professional employees.• thirtiIn the second place, the long depression of the . es has made a substantial number of professio°;l employees security minded. Large numbers of gra uates of professional schools could not find • b durin th JO s did _g ese y~rs, and the salaries paid to those who ' m many mstances, reflected the then ailin oversupply of professionally-trained em l prev U g employment was not confin p oyees. nates. A study of the en . ed _to recent college graduthe Bureau of Labor S~~~g ~rofession made by one-third 0 f th . tics disclosed that about e engmeers w time during the years ere unemployed some • 1929-1934.5 Important also has been th . upon the comparative sal e unpact of the war ary status of professional INTRODUCTION employees. Differences in overtime earnings in th . , me. cl d f o s o payment, an , m some cases, differences in the increases of the base pay of hourly-rated and f . h pro esst0na1 employees ave placed the latter at a de ·d d disadvantage. For these employees rising pric ci te gether with higher taxes have reduced the sta:a ~ of living and impaired morale. ar . This. combination of factors plus the prompt attenoon given by management to the wage demands and grievances of organized shop employees and th • d e success attaine by these workers appear to have made some professional employees wonder whether collective bargaining might not be a useful device for removing existing inequities and improving their economic status. Scope and Purpose of this Manual The demands upon professional employees to master and keep abreast with scientific theory and technological knowledge in their respective fields have become increasingly heavy. Most professional people have not had the time or the opportunity to keep informed of developments in the American Labor Movement or in legislation pertaining to labor organizations and collective bargaining. Confronted with economic factors and conditions outside of their field of specialization and uncertain of the impact of recent developments in labor relations upon their professional status, many of them turned to their respective societies for advice and assistance. As we shall see later, a number of these societies established committees to study the problem, and some of them developed programs designed to further the interests of their members. The various studies and surveys undertaken by these societies disclosed a definite need for a source book on colic<, tive bargaining for professional employees. This volume has been prepared to meet that need. Those who are responsible for its preparation have sought diligently to treat this controversial subject simply but adequately and as objectively as ~ssible. In carrying out this task they have keft. lll mind the primary objectives of professional socieb«:, namely, the advancement of the theory and techni· cal knowledge of the science or art which its memberS practice as well as of the allied arts and sciences, and the maintenance of high professional standards among members. The primary purpose of this volume ( of which this is Part I) is to give professional employees a background against which they may interpret and appraise the current developments in the field of labor relations. Part I: The National Labor Relations Act and Professional Employees, presents the essential features of the National Labor Relations Act, reviews professional society activities with respect to collective bargaining for professional employees, examines certain proposals to modify this Act, appraises the various courses of action which professional employees have taken under the Act, presents the advantages and disadvantages of the various types of labor organizations which are open to professional employees, and discusses the conditions that must be met, the steps that must be taken, and the responsibilities involved in establishing a labor organization for professional employees. Part II: Collective Bargaining, Mediation and Arbitration, deals with the purpose and content of collective bargaining, the process of negotiating and living under a contract, and the nature and place of mediation and arbitration in the settlement of industrial disputes. Pirt III treats with the objectives, structure and tactics of labor organizations. It presents a brief history of the American Labor Movement, examines the structure and functions of labor organizations, and portrays union organizing tactics and strike strategy and tactics. The appendices include the National Labor Relations Act, copies of documents and forms pertaining to labor organizations and collective bargaining, a glossary of terms, a bibliography on labor relations and related material. This manual has been prepared to give professional employees a knowledge of their rights and responsibilities under the National Labor Relations Act 9 and to inform them about the theory and practice of labor organizations and collective bargaining as they function in business and industry. The decision to organize or not to organize and the choice of a bargaining agency and a bargaining unit, to the extent permitted by the National Labor Relations Act, rest witp the professional employees themselves. The decision should be based on a knowledge of the facts of labor law and labor relations ~ well as on their personal preferences and convictions and the circumstances prevailing in a given situation. 1 Sec Wolman, Leo: Growth of American Trad, Umons, 1880 to 1923, New York, 1924, pp. 86-91 and Report of the Committee on Recent Economic Changes of the President's Conference on Unemployment: Recent Economic Changes in the United States, 1929, Vol. II, pp. 479-481. , 2 Section 7 (a) of the Act provided: ''Every code of fair competition, agreement, and license approved, prescribed, or usued under this title shall contain the following conditions: ( 1) That employees shall have the right to organize and bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing, and shall be free from the interference, restraint, or coercion of employers of labor, or their agents, in the designation of such representatives or in self-organization or _in other.

C., 1941. �II Chapter I THE NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS ACT EARLY IN 1935, a National Labor Relations Bill (S. 1958, 74th Congress, 1st session) was introduced in Congress. According to its sponsors the purpose of this Bill was ( I ) to remove the uncertainties which prevailed concerning the rights of employees and the obligations of employers with respect to labor organizations and collective bargaining, and ( 2) to establish effective machinery for the enforcement of these rights and obligations. It was not the intention of the framers of the Act, therefore, to add to the existing rights of employees but to have the Federal Government guarantee rights which the courts had long recognized as essential to the welfare of employees engaged in the production of goods and services. Both houses approved the Bill late in June. It was signed by the President on July 5, 1935. 1. The Objectives of the Act The National Labor Relations Act, popularly' known as the Wagner Act, does not purport to enunciate the broad principles and policies upon which a comprehensive code of industrial relations may be developed. It deals with the rights of employees and the acts of employers that interfere with the exercise of those rights. It lays down "unfair labor practices" in which employers may not engage and specifies certain basic rights which it guarantees to employees. The choice of objectives and means to be used in or• ganizing and administering unions and in conducting collective bargaining is left to the employees or their agents subject to the restraints set up by civil and criminal law, local ordinances, or under certain conditions by injunction proceedings. The following statement of Senator Wagner, the sponsor of the Act in the Senate, is of interest in that it throws light on the intended scope of this legislation: 1 "We have not gone in this bill into the field of re• lationship between employer and employee. We have been dealing only with the right of the employee to engage in collective bargaining with his employer. If an employee threatens to bum the house of a fellow employee unless he joins his Uruon, there is ample pro• vision of law to cover such a case. . . . That is a domain we have not entered into, because we are not dealing with it." a. Public Policy as Stated in the Act . _The Act declares that it is the public policy "to eliminate the causes of certain substantial obstructions to_ ~e free £low of commerce and to mitigate and eliminate these obstructions when they have occurred by encouraging the practice and procedure of collective bargaining and by protecting the exercise by ~orkers of full freedom of association, self-organization, and designation of representatives of their own choosing, for the purpose of negotiating the terms and conditions of their employment or other mutual aid or protection." b. Findings on Which Congressional Action was Based Why did Congress believe it to be desirable to encourage collective bargaining and to guarantee labor full freedom of association and related rights? The economic philosophy of Congress as expressed in the Act ( Sec. I ) is, in essence, that the denial by employers of the right of employees to organize and the refusal by employers to bargain collectively cause serious disturbances in our national economy. These actions on the part of employers give rise to strikes and other forms of industrial unrest. Since they occur in the current of commerce, strikes burden or obstruct commerce by "impairing the efficiency, safety or operation of the instrumentalities of commerce" and by "materially affecting, restraining, or controlling the fl.ow of raw materials or manufactured or processed goods from or into the channels of commerce, or the prices of such materials or goods in commerce." Work stoppages, we are told, also cause a "diminution of employment and wages in such volume as substantially to impair or disrupt the market for goods flowing from or into the channels of commerce." Interference with the employees' efforts to organize and the refusal to bargain collectively, say the sponsors of the Act, give rise to inequality of bargaining power between employees and employers, and this condition not only "substantially burdens and affects �12 THE NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS ACT the flow of commerce" but "tends to aggravate recurring business depressions, by depressing ,~age rates and the purchasll!g power of wage earners in industry and by preventing the stabilization of wage rates and working conditions within and betv,een industries." On the other hand, the framers of the Act assert, "experience has proved that protection by law of the right of employees to organize and bargain collectively'' not only "safeguards commerce from injury, impairment, or interruption" but "promotes the flow of commerce by: removing certain recognized sources of industrial strife and unrest, CI1couraging practices fundamental to the friendly adjusttnent of industrial disputes arising out of differences as to wages, hours, or other working conditions, and by restoring equality of bargaining power between employer, and employees." 2. I ndustries Covered by the Act ,., The Act applies to industries in which "the denial by employers of the right of employees to organize and the refusal by employers to accept the procedure of collective bargaining" would obstruct inter~tate commerc~ by "(c) materially affecting, restrainmg, or controlling the flow of raw materials or manufactured or processed goods from or into the channels ?f commerce, or the prices of such materials or goods m co~erce; or (d) causing diminution of employ~ent_ and wages in such volume as substantially to un~ or disrupt the market for goods flowing from or mto ~e channels of commerce." (Sec. x)2 The Act specifically excludes the following emp1oyees: 1 • Agricultural laborers. 2. Worke~ subject to the Railway Labor Act. 3· Domestic servants. 4- Any individual employed by his spouse. parent or 5. Government employees m·cluding federal, state, county, and city employees. It is apparent, therefore, that the Act . fessional employees incl d' d applies to prounless covered by the abo~e::emo~tors and lawyers, It should be noted that th p Sons. recent years has been broad . e. upreme Court in state commerce and th t enmg its concept of interreg_wation is being appl:d ~o a c~nseque_nce federal of mdwtries,a an mcreasmg number TIIE NATIONAL RELATIONS LABOR ACT an agreement, with a labor organization (not established, maintained, or assisted by any action delined in this Act as an unfair labor practice) to require as a condition of employment membership therein, if such labor orgilnization is the representative of the employees as provided in Section 9 (a) in the appropriate collective bargaining unit covered by such agreement when made.O 3. The Rights Guaranteed to Employees Section 7 of the Act protects by law rights , 'th • . d Y1 respect to seIf-orgaruzation an collective bargainin which have long been recognized by the courts. Thg Act stat~ ~at "employe~ ~hall have the right t: self-organization, to form, Jom or assist labor organ. izations, to bargain collectively through representatives of ~e-~ own choosing, and to engage in con. ~erted activities, for ~e purpose of collective bargain. mg or other mutual aid or protection" . 4. The Unfair Labor Practices To safegu_ard the righ~ guaranteed in Section 7, the Act designated certain labor practices which it declares unfair and which it forbids employers to use, By employer is meant not only the owners of a business but "any person acting in the interest of any employer, directly or indirectly." From this category are omitted the Federal Government, any state or political subdivision thereof, any person subject to the Railway Labor Act as well as labor organizations (e.xcept when acting as an employer) or anyone acting in the capacity of officer or agent of a labor organization. (Sec. 2 (2)) This definition makes the employer responsible for any violations of the Act by his foremen or executives unless he "has adequately brought home to his employees the company's neutral position in organizational matters and it appears that everything reasonably possible has been done to enforce this neutrality."• a. Labor Practices Prohibited by the Act The Act (Sec. 8) declares it to be "an unfair labor practice for an employer: ( 1) To interlcrc with, restrain, or coCl'CC employees in the exercise of the rights guaranteed in Section 1· (2) To dominate or interfere with the formation or administration of any labor organilltion or coo• tribute financial or other support to it: Provided, that subject to rules and regulations made and published by the Board pursuant to section 6(a), °!1 employer shall not be prohibited from p~t· ting employees to confer with him during workiJJg hours without loss of time or pay.Ii (3) By discrimination in regard to hire or tenure of employment or ~y term or condition of emplot ment to encourage or discourage mem~P ~ any labor organization: Provided, that nothin!

Arrangements for Effecting Public Policy (s) To refuse to bargain collectively with the representatives of his employees, subject to the provisions of Section g(a)." To ensure that the broad objectives of the Act will be achieved, provision is made for a National Labor Relations Board which is assigned the following major functions: employee because he has filed charges or given testimony under this Act. Many of the terms used in the above statement of unfair labor practices, such as to interfere with, restrain, coerce, dominate, and discriminate against, are quite vague, of a general nature and not defined in the Act. Actually they are the results or consequences of a course of action or of specific acts taken by employers or their agents. It was to be expected, therefore, that the general unfair labor practices.listed in the Act would be supplemented, over a period of years, with specific unfair labor practices laid down by the Board as the result of its application of the provisions of Section 8 to concrete cases and particular situations. b. Acts of Employers Prohibited by the Board Some of the specific acts of management which the Board has declared unfair are: 1 Advice by foremen not to join a union. 2. Malicious remarks about trade-unions uttered on the part of officials having authority to hire and fire. 3. The use of spies to report union activities and membership. . . 4. Direct employer influence over third parties, such as local pol.ice or citizens, to _persu~de workers against having anything to do with umons. 5. Solicitation of employees to return to work when such action is calculated to break the ranks of workers legitimately on strike. 6. Summoning employees to company offices for the purpose of demanding whether they approve of or belong to a union. . 7, Hiring thugs to beat union members. 8. The use of propaganda to influence workers agamst their organization. th t 9, In general, any acts tending to ~use _fe_ar,, a loss of the job will result from UIUon act1V1ty. "1. The above list is not intended to be complete but merely suggestive of the kind of action ~hi~, when engaged in by employers or persons acting m I. 2. 3. To prevent employers or their agents from engaging in "unfair labor practices". To designate the bargaining unit which is to be used as a basis for employee representation in collective bargaining, and To determine the representatives of employees whenever a dispute over representation arises. 6. The National Labor Relations Board The National Labor Relations Board consists of three public members who are appointed by the President with the approval of the Senate. To facilitate the handling of charges of unfair labor practices and representation petitions, the Board maintains 22 regional offices. In his statem~t on signing the Act President Roosevelt pointed out that the Board would serve as an independent "quasi-judicial body" and not "as mediator or conciliator in labor disputes." 7. The Procedure Followed in Handling Unfair Labor Practice Cases The Board becomes an interested party in cases involving unfair labor practices when an employee or a union files a charge with the director of one of the 22 regional offices, claiming that the employer has engaged in one or more of the unfair labor pra;tices prohibited by the Act. The charge must be m 'ting and swom to before a notary public or an r;1ent of the Board. Charges are investigated by field examiners. If the charge has a basis in fact, a settlet of the points at issue is sought through con=ces. If the charge lacks merit it will ~e ~thdrawn by the party making the charge or disaussed b the Regional Director, but an appeal from such a Jsmissal may be made to the National Board. If it ppears that the law bas been violated and the charge ~IS not adJ'usted by agreement, the Regional . . Director li normally issues a complaint. In cases mvo1vmg po cy �THE NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS ACT matters or unusual questions of law or of fact, he consults with the Board before taking action. If the Board finds that the circumstances warrant a hearing, it advises the Regional Director to issue a complaint and arrange for a hearing. If not, the charge is dismissed. In the event a complaint is issued, the Regional Director designates a time and place for a public hearing which is held before a Trial Examiner designated by the Board. Notice of the hearing is sent to all interested parties. The hearings are open to the public. The respondent is required to file an answer to the complaint within ten days, and this answer should "specifically admit or deny or ex'J)lain each of the facts alleged in the complaint, unless the respondent is without knowledge. . . ."8 If without knowledge, the respondent should state this fact in his complaint, and such a statement has the effect of a denial. If no answer is filed or if any allegation in the complaint is not specifically denied or explained, unless the respondent states in his answer that he is without knowledge, the Board is authorized to deem any or all unanswered allegations "to be admitted to be true." 9 All the parties at the hearing have the right to call witnesses, introduce testimony, cross-examine, and argue. The rules of evidence prevailing in courts of law or equity, however, are not controlling. . When the hearing is concluded, the Trial Exammer prepares his findings and recommendations on the record of the hearing. He may dismiss the case o_rder the employer to "cease and desist" labor prac~ tices that are unfair, or indicate the affirmative action the .employ~r must take to comply with the law. Copies of this report, called the Intermediate Report, are ~ent to the Board in Washington and served . upon the mt t d eres e parties. If the employer complies with the recommendations the case is closed An b • b • y su sequent ~ction y the parties must be taken up with th Board itself. e has th • h Either party . e ng · t to file a statement of exceptions to the Intermediate Report and t an oral argu bf o request m~nt e ore the Board.

It should be noted, however, that the courts have interpreted the word "evidence" to mean substantial evidence.10 The Circuit Court may dismiss modify, or uphold the decision. If the Court sustai~ the Board's decision it issues an enforcement order which the employer must obey or be guilty of contempt of court. Both the employer and the Board however, may appeal from the circuit courts to th~ Supreme Court. The Act gives the Board power to subpoena witnesses and examine pertinent records and makes persons who refuse to obey subpoenas guilty of contempt of court. Lastly, it subjects any person who willfully interferes with any member of the Board or its agencies in carrying out his duty to a fine of not more than $5, 000 or imprisonment for not more than one year, or both. It has not been necessary to enforce this provision of the Act. 8. The Procedure Followed in Handling Representation Cases Before collective bargaining can begin the employees must designate representatives to deal with their employer. In most instances such representation is obtained through the medium of some form of labor organization. Establishing such an organization gives rise to problems which become more complicated when the ranks of the labor movement are split and rival organizations seek to enlarge their member· ship as rapidly as possible in order to improve their competitive position. In representation cases the Board must determine the appropriate unit for collective bargaining and ascertain whether the bargain· ing agency for that unit has a majority representa· tion.11 If the agency represents a majority of the workers in a particular unit, the employer must ac• cept it as the exclusive representative of all the employees in the unit and bargain with it and all em· ployees in the unit must abide by the results. Where competing unions exist, the Board must also determine which of several labor organizations, if any, the majority of the employees want. Disputes of this character are classified as representation cases and should not be confused with complaint cases which THE NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS ACT . Ive charges of employer violation of the pro• labor practices. • mvo . to unfair . • of the Act relatmg visions Distinction Between a Labor Organization and a Bargaining Unit It is important to note that the Act makes a distinction ben-veen labor organizations and the bar•rung unit. As defined in the Act (Sec. 2 (5)) a gai r organization is « any orgarnzation • • f kind Iabo . o any . , any agency or employee representation comnuttee or •• or plan, in which employees parb~pate and which . exists for the purpose, in whole or m part, of dealing with employers concerning grievances, labor disput~, wages, rates of pay, hours of employment, or conditions of work." A bargaining unit, on the other hand, comprises those classifications of employ:es that ~re to be included for the purpose of collective bargaming and to be covered by the resulting contra:t. The definition of the bargaining unit may specify the classes of workers to be included or it may list those to be excluded. It may be a craft, plant, company or a sub-division thereof. (Sec. g(b)) It is pertinent to note that the Board has designated a group of professional employees as an appropriate bargaining unit.12 The Board takes the position that any employee organization has complete freedom to define i~ membership qualifications as it sees fit as long as 1t keeps free of employer domination. In other words, ili:e composition of a labor organization, even though it • i'ts mem• includes professional workers and foremen m bership, is of no concern to the Board unless t!1e organization is employer dominated. Employer initiated or dominated unions are illegal under the Act, and therefore have no standing before the Board. ' ' The bargaining unit and the membership of a labor organization need not be coextensive and fre• • need not quently are not. A:n employee orgaruzation bargain for its entire membership. Indeed it may b~gain for employees entirely outside of its membership, As a matter of fact collective bargaining for a par• ' ticular group of employees may be done by an out· side individual a small committee, a union, or some ' • • that other association. All that the Act reqwres 15 the representative or representatives be of the ployees' own choosing and be free of employer douu• nation. en:· Determining the Bargaining Unit Section g(b) of the Act states that: "The Board shall decide in each case whether, in order to insure to employees the full benefit of their right to self-organization and to collective bargaining, and otherwise to effectuate the police, of this Act, the unit appropriate for the pwposcs of collective bargaining shall be the employer unit, craft unit, plant unit or subdivision thereof. Determination of the appropriate bargaining unit becomes necessary when the Board is asked to certify the representatives of employees inasmuch as such certification must be made in terms of a bargaining unit. The appropriate bargaining unit must also be agreed upon or determined by the Board in cases involving charges that an employer has refused to bargain collectively with the representatives of bis employees. Such complaints are sustained only where the representatives have been designated by employees in a unit appropriate for bargaining purposes. As the statute indicates the appropriate unit may be "the employer unit, craft unit, plant unit or subdivision thereof". Under this authorization the Board holds that "it must decide whether the appropriate unit in the case in question is industrial, including practically all the employees of a plant; senti-indui:trial including a majority of the employees; mult:1craf; including several groups of skilled workers; craft: including one group of skilled workers; or other group including only part ~f ~e employees. It must also decide whether the urut mcludes only one plant of one employer, several or all of the plants of a company, or a group of establishments of separate .. ,, 18 and independent comparues • Confilcting claims as well as overlapping jurisof years some• clicbons which go back over a period f b • • 't times make the determination o a argammg um a difficult task. The Board has been un~g _to l~y down a set of rules for resolving issues arismg m disthis character It takes the position that its putes o£ • , ch th der the Act is to decide ' ea case on e duty un ·ts basis of all the facts and circumstances" ~d pom out that this position is made necessary_ by 'the complexity of modem industry, transportati~, and com. n·on, and the numerous and diverse forms muruca h as hich self-organization among employees ~ ,, u While it has been unwilling to establish r i ; r:i1es, it has set up a number of criteria which it �--- THE NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS ACT •de in the making of a decision. These uses as a gw .lG criteria as stated by the Board are. r. The history, extent and type of organization of employees, . . . The history of their collective bargammg,. . 2• 3. The history, extent and type of organization of employees in other plants of the same employer, or other employers in the same industry, 4. The skill, wages, work, and working conditions of the employees, 5 . The desires of the employees, 6. The eligibility of the employees for membership in the union or unions involved. 7. The relationship between the unit or units proposed and the employer's organization, management, and operation, and 8. Whether an association of separate employers is in existence exercising employer functions, and having a history of collective bargaining on a multiple-employer basis. No precise weight is given to any of the above criteria. In applying the above standards the Board seeks to bring together in a single unit those employees who have a community of interest which is likely to further harmonious organization and facilitate the aims of collective bargaining. Cases requiring the determination of an appropriate bargaining unit fall into two categories: those in which all parties agree upon the scope and composition of the unit and those in which conflicting or overlapping units are favored by one or more of the parties to the dispute. Where the parties "agree upon the scope and comP.osition of the unit, or a requested unit meets with no objection, the Board generally finds the agreed or requested unit to be appropriate". Objective standards of the kind listed above, however, "must be satisfied, otherwise the Board will not accept as appropriate the agreed or requested unit. ~ut the fact that there is no dispute usually is indica~ve 0 ~ the propriety of the unit."10 In those cases m which there is only one organization involved and the organization has been designated by approxim~tely 30 per cent of the employees in the bargaining !!111t, the Board usually will hold an election and, gener~y finds appropriate a unit of a breadth clearly m accordance with the desires of l and th • . emp oyees, . ~ll' c~~uruty of interest and extent of orgaruzation, if lt is justified by the form of . tion of the business . . . and Permitted byo~;n~:~~ Thus when the only labor organizatio . af basis, craft units are d' . n IS on a er t are industrial units w:e::\!~~;g:r.;oti~ria~e,.as dustrial".17 a on 1s m- Where overlapping organizations are requested by rival unions, the Board attaches "great weight to the relative homogeneity of the units sought and the bargaining history in the plant or industry. Unless counterbalanced by other elements, bargaining history is often a controlling factor" provided a contract, which contains fixed terms and substantive provisions and is applicable to all employees in the bargaining unit, has been negotiated.18 In those situations in which considerations fa. voring a craft unit and those favoring a more comprehensive unit are of substantially equal weight, the Board frequently applies the Globe doctrine-so named because the principle was first enunciated in the case of the Globe Machine & Stamping Company and the Metal Polishers U nion, Local No. 3, etc. The employees are permitted in a secret election to specify whether they want a separate craft unit or desire to be included with other employees in a larger bargaining unit. Usually if a majority of a given craft or related crafts vote for a craft unit, the Board rules that the craft shall be the bargaining unit, and if the majority vote for the larger bargaining unit, the Board denies separate representation. The wishes of the employees, however, are not always determinative because "the Board makes its findings of the ap• propriate unit upon the entire record, including the desires of the employees as reflected by the election results".19 As a rule, clerical and professional employees are not included in the same bargaining unit with production and maintenance employees in those instances in which objections are raised to such an arrangement. The Board, moreover, has definitely shown a willingness to exclude both professional employees and related technical employees, such as draftsmen, checkers, detailers, tracers and research assistants of various kinds from bargaining units of clerical and office workers. Professional and technical employees jointly have been excluded from heterogeneous bargaining units in well over a dozen cases. The Board has also shown a disposition to recognize "the appr<: priateness of units of professional employees". It 15 advisable, therefore, for professional employees who desire a separate bargaining unit to inform the Board of their wishes as soon as possible after the represen· tation issue arises. The rights of supervisory employees under. the Act have been subject to conflicting interpretaoons • 1·t bas on the part of the Board.

Such action is taken: J. 2. When the employer refuses to recognize a union as the c.xclusivc representative for any reason but for the most part because (a) he has a doubt as to whether the representatives speak for ~e majority of the qualified employees, (b) he dis• approves of the proposed bargaining unit, ~r ~c) he desires to obtain formal B_o~d de!enrunati?n of the composition of the bargammg urut or official . . certification of the bargaining ag?3~Y• When rival unions present conflicting claims '?th respect to the right to act as the representatives of the employees or because of a disagrceme~t as to the classifications of employees that constitute an appropriate bargaining unit. With respect to disputes of this n~ture ~e Board is required to investigate the issue or ISsues m~olved, determine the choice of employee representatives by secret ballot or by other suitable means, and to c~tify the exclusive representative should one be designated by a majority of the employees voting. (See 9(c)) . . beAny person or labor organization acting on . half of employees may petition the Board for an. mvestigation of a claim to majority representation. Where two or more unions each claim to represent the same group of workers, the employer also may ask for an investigation and a determination of the issue. . d A petition must be filed with the Regional Boar in the area in which the dispute has arisen, A preliminary investigation is conducted by a Field ~ iner who ascertains ( 1) whether the employer 1;> su:; ject to the Wagner Act, (2) whether a quesoo~ representation exists and, if so, (3) the appropnateness of the proposed bargaining unit. When the facts disclose that the case has no merit or the Board has no jurisdiction the petition is either withdrawn by the filer or disxcissed by the Regional Director. If tbe petition is dismissed, the filer may appeal to the Na- tional Labor Relations Board for a review of the action. Should the investigation, however, develop that the petition has merit, an attempt is made to secure an informal adjustment. Several procedures have been developed for this purpose. Informal Arrangements. In those cases in which the interested parties agree to abide by the results of a check of the signatures on applications for union membership or other union records against the names on the payroll furnished by the company, the process of determination is known as a cross-check settlement. This procedure can only be used where an agreement has been obtained both as to the composition of the bargaining unit and the date to be used to ascretain who is eligible to vote as disclosed by reference to the company payroll. When the final disposition of the case is made by an agent of the Regional Office, it is called a consent cross-check settlement and when, at the insistence of either party, it is made by the National Board, it is referred to as a stipulated crosscheck settlement. Sometimes the interested parties agree upon both an appropriate bargaining unit and the payroll date to be used as the basis of eligibility but one of the parties is unwilling to have th_e issue determined by a cross-check. In such instances the Board's agent will usually recommend an election. If the parties voluntarily accept this procedure and agree to do so in writing, an election is conducted by a represen.tative of the Board. When the agreed-upon election erves as the basis of an informal report by the Re~onal Director and the parties auth?rize _him to make th final determination of the questions involved, the pr:cedure is called a consent election. On the other h d when the agreed-upon election becomes the banis 'of a formal decision by the Board itself and the :al determination of the issue is left to the Board, the procedure is known as a stipulated election. Of the 31,222 representation cas~ handled by th Board in the first 9 years of operaoon, about 70 e: cent were settled by informal arrangements. Of ~e cases closed in the informal stages, I I per cent were adjusted by consent cross-checks? 48 per cent by consent elections, four per cent by stipulated cro:checks and elections, and 37 per cent as the res t of WI'thdrawals or dismissals. The bulk of . the repre.,: petitions which were not withdrawn or sentauon . !l1 di missed were settled by elections. s Ordered Elections. Sometimes the ~oard's agent cannot get acceptance of any of the informal ar- �THE NATIONAL LABOR REL ATIONS ACT 20 since 1938. The second important trend is the marked increase in representation cases which means that there is a growing tendency to use elections instead of strikes to secure union recognition and the right to bargain. 10. Act Declared Constitutional On April 12, 1937 the Supreme Court of the United States in a decision involving five separate cases sustained the constitutionality of the National Labor Relations Act. The majority of the Court held that the Act may be construed "so as to operate within the sphere of constitutional authority", that "the right to organize and select their representatives for lawful purposes" was a fundamental right, and that "discrimination and coercion to prevent the free exercise of the right of employees to self-organization and representation is a proper subject for condemnation by competent legislative authority".2~ 1 Vol 79, Congressional Record No. 102, pp. 7952, 7960.

' l: ° Chapter II WHAT THE PROFESSIONAL SOCIETIES HAVE DONE AND ARE DOING }>RoFESSIONAL soCJETIES have a primary interest not only in advancing ~ e the.o ry and practice of ~e sciences or arts in which their members have acqwred a special competence but in maintaining a high professional standing among their members. Any legislation which might affect the status of professional employees becomes of necessity a matter of real concern to these societies. That concern was augmented ( 1) by a persistent effort to bring architects, chemists, engineers, and other professional employees into heterogeneous labor organizations comprising both professional and non-professional employees and ( 2) by the request of members for guidance in dealing with the situation. Confronted with a problem which fell outside the scope of their normal fields of activity, a number of societies appointed committees to study the issues involved, and, in some instances, to formulate programs which would help their members to obtain the type of employee-employer relations they desire. A brief summary of the activities of these societies is an inherent part of any discussion of collective bargaining for professional employees and should be read by those who desire an understanding of the problems confronting societies which desire to give assistance and guidance to their members. THE ACTIVITIES OF SOCIETIES A ssoCIATED WITH ENGINEERS J OINT CouNCU.. Five professional societies are represented in En· gine~rs Joint Council. Through their presidents, im· mediate past presidents, and their secretaries, they are studying common problems confronting their societies an~ exploring ways and means of coordinating their society activities. An examination of the action taken by ~ch of these societies with respect to labor organi· zations and collective bargaining for professional em· ployees follows: 1 The American Society of Civil Engineers .As early as 1937 the American Society of Civil Engineers appointed a Committee on Unionization. After a preliminary survey the Committee recommended ( 1) that the Society refrain from seeking to amend the National Labor Relations Act for the purpose of excluding professional employees, (2) that it attempt to secure an amendment, if necessary, which would clarify the position of professional and subprofessional men under the Act, (3) that it stand ready to cooperate with other Founder Societies, or with state and national professional societies, in the establishment of temporary or permanent agencies to represent engineers in collective action in a dignified, professional manner whenever necessary, and (4) that, to minimize the need for collective action by engineers as well as to assist its members in establishing and maintaining adequate and reasonable uniform compensation for the several grades of engineering employment, the Society should adopt a schedule of grades and minimum compensation. The increasing interest in collective bargaining for professional employees, as reflected by the growth of unionization among engineers and the number of disputes involving professional employees submi~ed to the National Labor Relations Board for deterIDJJ)a• tion Jed the Society in October 1941 to change ~e n~e of the Committee on Unionization to ~ommittee on Employment Conditions and broaden its ftmctions. I t also appointed a full-time staff member ~o . t the new Committee in its work. The CoIXUJllt~lS . tee carried on its investigations, including a nationwide survey of collective bargaining among p~ofessional employees2, and placed itself at the service of its employee and employer members .on. all_matters relating to employment conditions, uruoruzation, .and collective bargaining. In July 1943, the Colll.lXlltteed cd e.'<isting Jaws an blished a report wbich an al'fZ • pu . -'--A . tant decisions and rulings of Fedsunun= unpor di • d eral agencies relating to employment con tions an . • s collective bargairung. As a result of its study of the legal aspects off ctholth findings of its survey o e . . Jective bargairung, _e lo ees with labor ore>-"J>erience of profesS1o?al emp .y. and the diffiganizations and collective bargauung, �---- PROFESSIONAL SOCIETIES' ACTIONS PROFESSIONAL SOCIETIES' ACTIONS culties which some of its members encountered in securing sepai;ate bargaining units in certain of the early cases coming before the N.L.R.B., the Committee in October, 1943 recommended that the Society institute bargaining facilities for civil engineers. In order to accomplish this function, the Committee recommended the adoption of the following three-phase program as necessary in order to implement that objective; ( 1} that the constitutions of the Local Sections of the Society be amended to establish bargaining groups within the geographical limits of each Local Section area, (2) that assistance be given these groups by the employment of four field representatives, one to be operative in each of the four Zones, and (3) that an adequate definition of professionallyminded employees be adopted as the basis for the collective bargaining groups proposed. , Experience under the plan, which had been adopted by the A.S.C.E. Board of Direction on October II, 1941, led to certain interpretations of the original amendments to the constitution of Local Sections. The recommended procedure now is for the Local Section's Board of Directors to appoint an "Interim Committee on Employment Conditions" composed of employee members of the Section. This Committee assists in the formation of a "group of pro_fes.sional engineering employees"-a voluntary ass0C1ation not only of employee members of the American ~ociety of Civil Engineers, but of similar members m other branches of the engineering profession who_ reside or work in the area in which the Local ~ection has jurisdiction.

The recommendations of the A.S.C.E. Committee on Employment Conditions have been favorabl rece~ved by the membership of many of the Loc:i Sectlons. By April 1944, about 87 per cent of th members in 27 Local Sections had voted in favor 0~ them. In the fall of that year, the A.S.C.E. Board of Direction concluded that the Local Sections could appoint an "Interim Committee on Employment Conditions" to assist in the formation of a "group of professional engineering employees" without amending the Constitution of the l:ocal Section.5 As of February 1945, 30 of 64 Local Sections had amended their constitutions in accordance with the Committee's recommendations and two other Local Sections had set up "Interim Committees on Employment Conditions" without modification of their constitutions. In a statement to a Subcommittee of the House Labor Committee on July 19, 1946, the Society proposed three specific points of fundamental importance to professional engineers for consideration in drafting new labor laws: o " ( 1) any group of professional employees, having a community of interest and who wish to bargain collectively, should be guaranteed the right to form and administer their own bargaining unit and be permitted free choice of their representatives to negotiate with their employer, ( 2} no professional employees, or group of employees, desiring to undertake collective bargaining with an employer, should be forced to affiliate with, or become members of, any bargaining group which includes non-professional employees, or to submit to representation by such a group or its designated agents, and (3) no professional employee should be f?rccd, against his desires, to join any labor organiza• ti?n as a condition of his employment or to sacrifice his right to individual, personal relations with his eIIl" ployer in matters of employment conditions." . Recognizing that existing labor laws as adtoinistered are not in accord with the foregoing three fundamental principles, it is the policy of the Axneri· can Society of Civil Engineers to exert every effort modification of existing labor laws and their towar• d· tration to the end th at the foregomg • pnn• ad nunis d • • di . ciples shall prevail. fAthlso Sun _er ~x.1stin~ con ti.ans th .:pressed policy o e ociety 1s to give a11 prac. e ; assistance to its members in the field of colucative bargaining • •msof ar as funds, staff • fac1"lities, • 1ec ·11 • . . and legal limitations w1. pemut.. . The American Society of ClVll Engineers is parti 'patina in and supporting the work of the Com<:1ttee 0~ the Economic Status of the Engineer of :gineers Joint Council. ~his Committee, am~ng other activities, is engaged in a study of collective bargaining and th e formulation of a policy on labor law and labor legislation for the guidance of the Council and the cooperating societies. A major objective of the Commit tee is the development of a common approach to the problems of collective bargaining for professional employees to which all par• ticipating societies will want to subscribe. The American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers The following statement has been submitted by the Secretary of the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers: "The American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers has taken the position that as an organiza• tion it cannot properly instigate, promote, or sponsor the establishment of collective bargaining groups or units, if, for no other reason, simply because a substantial proportion of its members are either employers themselves or are definitely part of 'management'• It does not regard membership in a union by a _Professional engineer as being in any sense reprehensible; and believes that participation by an engineer-~ployee in organized collective bargaining should be decided_ by th~ individual employee on the basis of his own situation at a particular time and place. "Through its magazine 'Mining and Metallurgy' it h:u published a great deal of factual information regarding collective bargaining; and the views on th_e subject-pro and con-of dozens of its members. It is an active participant in, and ~upporter of, the wor~ of the Committee on the Economic Status of the Engineer of Engineers Joint Council". The_American Society of Mechanical Engineers In t930 the American Society of Mechanical Engineers began the first of a number of factual s~dies dealing with the economic status of the en· ~eer. During the period 1937 to 1940, unioniza· tion and the problems of collective bargaining, to the extent that they dealt with professional employees, were made matters of intensive study and reported in Mechanical Engineering, the journal of the Society.7 The Society, which played an important role in the formation of the Committee on the Economic Status of ili,e Engineer, is actively participating in and supporting the work of that Committee. The American Institute of Electrical Engineers . The impact of unionization and collective bargaining on professional engineers led the Board of Directors of the Institute to authorize the appointment of a Committee on Collective Bargaining and Related Matters on January 27, 1944. This Committee made a careful study of the National Labor Relations Act insofar as it affected professional employees as well as the factors, conditions, and issues involved, and recommended that the Institute adopt the following tentative policies and procedures: 8 Prepare a manual for members representing the essential facts about the American Labor Movement and the National Labor Relations Act (Wagner Act) and setting forth ( 1) what the Institute may and may not do and (2) the counes of action that arc open to its mcmben. 2.

The Institute also is participating and supporting all other activities of the Committee on the Economic Status of the Engineer of Engineers Joint Council. The American Institute of Chemical Engi.neers The American Institute of Chemical Engineers has not announced an official organization policy pertaining to collective bargaining for its members. That it. has an interest in these matters is indicated by its participation in and support of the work of the Committee on the Economic Status of the Engineer of Engineers Joint Council. THE ACTIVITIES OF OTHER SOCIETIES There are a number of other societies which have taken a keen interest in collective bargaining for professional employees and the rights of these employees under the National Labor Relations Act. Their activities are briefly summarized below: The American Association of Engineers The American Association of Engineers has actively opposed unionization of professional engineers since _its inception. In the period 1915-1919, when technical employees of the railroads were being absor_bed in the Chicago Local ( # 14) of the draftsmen's umon of the American Federation of Labor "the Ame~c~ ~ociation of Engineers counter-org~nized, formmg railway sections' all over the nation which were virtually chapters of the Association, and represented these groups before the U. S. Rail W Board." · way age The Association has refused to convert itself into . of a "labor organization, capable within the meaning the Act (NLRA)' of representing orgaruz·ed engm · • ll"b .. eers . d . m co ective argammg". Instead it "o . rgaruze m 1937 a National Mediation Co"'-:ttee hi h ··all" ......,.. we was ongm Y intended to do these things":& To review the work of the National L b R 1 . a or c at.ions Board in reconnaissance reports, !o assist members involved in representation proceed. mgs. To advise members as to how they may attempt to p serve their autonomy with respect to collective barga: ing. To assist members who form their own organizations to draw up contracts. To serve as mediators in disputes involving members of the Association. To suggest arbitrators when requested to do so. In 1944 the Association published T echnologists' Stake in the Wagner Act.10 This volume examines the impact of the National Labor Relations Act on scientific and engineering employees and summarizes the findings of the National M ediation Committee which for seven years had made a careful study of the decisions of the National Labor Relations Board relating to the status of professional employees. In December 1944 the National M ediation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors of the Association that it sponsor an attempt to secure an amendment of the National Labor Relations Act which would ( 1) authorize a federal agency to classify all positions in the field of technology and related mechanical arts, trades, and crafts, ( 2) require the National Labor Relations Board to accept this classification as the standard to be used in distinguishing between professional and non-professional employees, and (3) to make it compulsory for the Board, in determining an appropriate bargaining unit, to permit professional employees "to waive or exercise rights of self-organization and designation of representatives, in fully autonomous units, restricted to and con· trolled by technologists". The Association approved the recommendations and circulated a petition for the signature of persons in the professions having an interest in the matter. The petition urged the Senate Committee on Education and Labor ( 1) to recommend to the Senate the inclusion of the above recommendations as amend· ments to the Ball, Burton, Hatch Bill (S-1171) or (2) to propose such an amendment to the National Labor Relations Act should Congress reject the Ball, Burton, Hatch Bill. The National Society of Professional Engineers11 Because "the Society is 'compose~ of employers and employees alike, the legal qualification as P;0 • fessional engineering being the basis upon which membership is predicated, it cannot act as a Collec- •nmg Agency.

Shortly thereafter, the Board had an opportunity to apply its statement of principle. In the laboratory of the Shell Development Company at Emeryville, California, organizers of the Federation of Architects, Engineers, Chemists and Technicians, CIO, set out to include professional employees in their organization, in which the non-professional workers outnumbered the professional employees. The latter vigorously protested, and with the help of a competent legal counsel provided by the American Chemical Society, were able to secure a bargaining uni~ of professional employees for the purpose of elections and eventually to prevent their inclusion in a ~eterogene. . ous bargaining unit.14 The Society has consistently taken the positi~n that inasmuch as its membership includes both mdividuals and corporations and the individual m~bership comprises employers as well as emplo~ees, it as its local sections are barred from acting for as well • f its employee members as a representative or p~of collective bargaining.

As a result of these meetings, there was established a joint Committee on the Economic Status of the Engineer, whose function it was to make studies and to conduct surveys when deemed necessary. Somewhat later, the American Institute of Mining and Metallurigcal Engineers and the American Institute of Chemical Engineers joined the Committee. More recently representatives of the National Society of Professional Engineers have also joined in the work of this Committee. This joint Committee is now a comittee of Engineers Joint Council. The Committee on the Economic Status of the Engineer, at present, has three survey committees. The Committee for Survey of Practice Regarding Engineering Graduates is engaged in ascertaining, from a representative group of industrial employers, their "policies and attitudes pertaining to the selection, training, placement, advancement, guidance and professional activities of graduate engineering employees". A Committee on Survey of the Engineering Profession has undertaken "to obtain directly, through a questionnaire to about 100,000 member engineers, specific facts which reflect the economic status of engineers". I ts survey will obtain factual information ".covering educational levels, years engaged in practice, branch of engineering, field of specialization annual income and similar information". A Commit: tee on Collective Bargaining by Engineers in Professional Work is studying "the problem of collective barg~g as it affects, or may affect, engineers in professional work and in training for professional work".

Chapter III c ° AN EXAMINATION OF PROPOSALS MADE BY PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYEES TO MODIFY THE WAGNER ACT . D TUJU3ED by the efforts of labor organizations to h~:e them included in bargaining u~ts and bargain. agencies along ..,vi.th sub-professional and non~~fessional employees, professional employees, and p metimes their societies, • h ave suggestd •• e some w . . revmon of the National Laboi: R elations Act in the interest of preserving professional status. It seems advisable to examine these proposals. Five legislative proposals have been suggested. They may be st ated as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Exempt professional employees from the provisions of the Na tional Labor Relations Act. • Establish a separate tribunal for dealing with the representation and bargaining rights of profcs• sional employees. Exclude professional employees from heterogeneous bargaining groups and bargaining units. Allow professional employees to waive their rights to bargain collectively. Require the National Labor Relations Board, to permit professional groups of employees to d~c~de for themselves by majority vote the bargalillllK unit in which they shall be included as well as the bargaining agency that shall represent them. Each of these proposals will be analyzed to deter• mine the extent to which it would enable professional employees to attain their objectives. Seek Legislation Which Would Exempt Professional Employees from the Provisions of the N.L.R.A. Exemption of professional employees from the provisions of the National Relations Act does not seem ~ promising solution of the problems facing profess1onal employees. The Act applies to all employees working in establishments in or affecting interstate :mmerce. ~robably it would be very difficult to _jus· . Y exemption of professional employees, especially smce some of them might protest such action.1 It has bee~ pointed out that even if this objective could be achieved a problem would still remain. Labor organi.za. • f . tions still could and probably would accept proessional th. in· the Nati emp1oyees as members, and no mg onal Labor Relations Act would preclude such action even if professional employees were excluded from the provisions of the Act. Moreover, in those instances in which professional employees believe they need a bargaining agency to protect their interest and the employer refuses recognition, the bargaining agency for the professional employees might have to resort to strikes to obtain recognition since the exclusion of professional employees from the National Labor Relations Act would not permit certification by means of an election under the supervision of the National Labor Relations Board. The professional employees would be in exactly the same position that the foremen found themselves following the Maryland Drydock decision.2 At that time the National Labor Relations Board held that, except in industries where a histo~ of c?llective bargaining for supervisors had prevailed, 1t wou_ld not establish a bargaining unit for foremen ~':5p1t~ the fact that supervisors have the same bargammg nghts as other employees. In support of this decision, the . 'ty of the Board stated that ''we are maJon . . of the . opinion that in the present . stage of. administration and employee-organization, the establishm~t. of b~ aining units composed of supervisors exercsmg su th· will· pede the g llll • stantial managerial au onty , b • • disrupt established processes of collective ~ g , . d militate managerial and production techniques, an a . t effectuation of the policies of the Act''. ' gamsF 11 . this decision, a wave of foremen s o owing . • • b em trikes for the purpose of forcing recogrution ; th .• eir s lo ers occurred. As a result forem~, _throug p y • ation . (The F•oreman's AssOCiatton of Amer• orgaruz . 'tion and a union agreement m ica)' obtame~ recogru a To clarify the situation, the certain establishments: ard found it necessary to f the purpose of National Labor Relation~ ~o • • Detroit in 1944 or hold a heanng m the foreman question and reconsidering its position on entitled to all the of deciding whether tey w:oyed under the Narights that other ~p oyees hereafter, the Board, in tional Labor Relations Act~/th position it had taken Coro;any case. It declared a series of decisions, in the Maryland Dry r;:;; �PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYEES' PROPOSALS PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYEES' PROPOSALS that not only are foremen employees within the meaning of the Act but ( 1) that as employees they are entitled to be placed in an appropriate bargaining unit and ( 2) that they may join an auxiliary of, and be represented in collective bargaining by, a labor organization admitting to membership the rank and file employees working in the same establishment.~ Lastly, the fact that groups of professional employees now have the right to seek certification whenever such a course of action seems desirable gives them, as individuals or as a group, a potential bargaining power with their employers which many of these employees might not want to surrender. In view of the foregoing considerations, the seeking of legislature changes, which would exempt professional employees from the provisions of the National Labor Relations Act, would not seem to be a promising solution. Seek Legislation Which Would Establish a Separat~ Tribunal for p ~aling With the Repr~sentation and Bargaining Rights of Professional Employees This approach to the problem was suggested to the ~adian W~e Labour Relations Board by a co~ttee representing 14 professional organizations. This Board was created under the Canadian Wartime Labour R~ations Order-in-Council (P.C. 1003) a set of r~lations passed in February 1944 to protect Canadian employees in the exercise of their right to form labor organizations and to bargain collectively. Several w~ after these regulations went into effect, ~e Committee asked the Board to e.xclude profes~1onal employee_s from them for a six-month period m order that it may have time to consider their status under the Order. At the end of the period the Committ d ee reporte that ll f th . a ~o o err membership indicated b substantial majority that profession y a very opposed to being included in bar ~ ~ploy~ were gamingand uruts made up .largely of non-profess·ional personnel d their own agency for collective bargainin wa;te recommended that a new Order • C . g. hey which would establish S •m- ~uncil be passed f . a eparate national b d f pro essional employees onl d oar or to be included in barg • . Y an . grant them the right airung UJUts of p f • ployees even though th . ro ess1onal emIdd· ey previously had b • c u e m heterogeneous bar ainin . een mg g units. After con- ducting hearings the Board refused to establish a arate labor code fo~ prof~sional employees but pl:: them under a special section of the original Order-in. Council and provided that they be dealt with sep ately for a period of six months. ar. Order-in-Council No. 1003 was war legislati This wartime measure was extended to December ;n. 1946 under the National Emergency Transitio~ Powers Act passed by the Canadian House of Com~o~ on Dec~ber 7, 1945.5 At its nullification, leg1Slat1on concerning the status of the engineer with respect to self-organization and collective bargaining reverted to the individual provinces. A revision of the National Labor Relations Act which would bring about a separate labor tribunal for professional employees in all likelihood would be difficult to obtain. It is interesting to note that the Canadian Wartime Labour Relations Board refused to establish a separate code for professional employees because of the c.xpense involved. It should also be noted that if the National Labor Relations Board made an e.xception in the case of professional employees, it would ho.ve no assurance that similar requests would not be raised by other groups of employees. Other courses of action would seem to have a better chance of obtaining Congressional approval. Seek Legislation J,Vhich Would Exclude Professional Employees from Heteroueneous Bargaining Units ~ Instead of trying to e..-<clude employees engaged ~ professional work from the provisions of the National Labor Relations Act it has been suggested that an attempt be made to modify the Act so as to place professional employees in a separate category for pur• poses of collective bargaining. Such a modification wo~d ~alee professional employees ineligible for in· clUS1on m bargaining units of non-professional exn· ployees, but would ensure them the right under the Act to be placed in bargaining units of professional em~loyees and to be represented by representatives of their o_~ choosing. Adoption of this proposal would malce it impossible for professional employees to be repres~ted by non-professional employees or by repr~entat:ives chosen by a group in which non-prof~SIOnal employees predominated. At the same wne it would retain for them the right to bargain coUectivdY as guaranteed to other employees. This arrangexnent may well be more acceptable to many professional ctn loyees than the proposal to exempt them from the r: ~ions of the Wagner Act. It probably would be difficult to attain than a separate tribunal for pro- fessional employees. Legislation of this nature, however, would reuire Congress to modify one of the basic provisions ~£ the Act, namely, that the bargaining unit is a xnatter for Board d etermination, the bargaining agency being a matter for employee determination. The proposal to exclude professional exnployees from heterogeneous bargaining units and agencies might be criticized on the grounds that it would restrict these employees in the choice of a bargaining agency and, in those situations where the National Labor Relations Board applies the Globe Doctrine, in the choice of a bargaining unit. There is some evidence that under certain conditions professional employees may want to be included in a heterogeneous bargaining unit and bargaining agency, as for example in those situations in which all the employees of a single company wish to establish a labor organization of company employees only. Also such a provision would not appeal to those who feel that the determination of these matters should rest with the professional employees themselves and should be based upon their personal preferences under the conditions prevailing in a given situation. Seek Legislation Which Would Give to Professio7:al Employees the Right t~ Waive V ?luntanly or to Exercise Their Collective Bargaining Rights It is understood that this proposal would leave with the National Labor Relations Board the full right to determine appropriate bargaining units, but would l~ve with professional employees as individuals t!1e nght to decide whether or not they wished to be ~clu~ed in the bargaining units so established, ?err ch?ice would lie between accepting the barg~ UIUt as determined by the board and waiving the nght to bargain collectively, in which case they would d be assured the right to bargain individually. UD er th~e conditions some professional employees might w_aive their right to bargain collectively because tbey di~ not like the bargaining unit to which the~ were ~~ed, or because they did not wish to b ~ colecnvely regardless of the bargaining unit. It IS ~ sumed tha_t these professional employees could not be 29 ~equixed by employers to waive their bargaining rights m order to obtain and retain employment. This proposal bas the appeal that it would assure professional employees full freedom in their decision to bargain collectively or not to bargain collectively. The two principal difficulties which lie in the way of achieving this legislative change are: (I) It would be difficult to give this Crccdom of choice to professional employees and to deny it to other classes of employees. (2) Congress having declared it to be public policy to encourage collective bargaining may be very reluctant to permit any class of employees to ''waive'' their collective bargaining rights, even though they could not be forced to do so as a conditio.n of employment. Accordingly, even though this legislative change might be most acceptable to a majority of professional employees, it is likely to be more difficult to obtain than some such change as indicated in the immediately preceding proposal. It is obvious that a legislative change which would enable professional employees to waive their collective bargaining rights could not be expected to forestall attempts at unionization of professional employees on the part of affiliates of national unions associated with federations of rank and file employees. One would expect unions with jurisdictions restricted to professional employees to be chartered by the major federations of labor, and would expect also that such unions would ~ e the attempt to win professional employees to their membership.

Under the existing law the Board alone has the power to decide whether the ~nit shall _b~ _"the employer unit, craft unit, plant urut or sub-division thereor'. Serui.te Bill 1000 would modify this section to prevent the Board from establishing bargaining units which "embrace employees of more than one employer". Moreover, it would also add what has become known as "the craft unit amendment", :\ proposal endorsed by the American Feder:irion of Labor. This amendment would "make it obligatory on the Board to respect the right of craft groups to decide for themselves by majority vote who their bargaining representatives shall be".7 This is not a new principle of law. The proposal is similar to c.xisting provisions in the Railway Labor Act.6 The amendment "to protect the rights and integrity of craft unions" could be broadened to include professional as well as craft groups so that professional employees would be given the right to choose the b:u-gaining unit and agency they believe to be best suited to their needs. ---. The adoption of this proposal would place the determination of both the bargaining unit and the bargaining agency in the hands of professional employees-an arrangement which professional employees may prefer. Since the principle of permitting homogeneous groups of employees to choose their own bargaining unit and bargaining agency has the wholehearted support of the American Federation of Labor the possibility of obtaining Congressional support fo; an amendment to the National Labor Relations Act which would compel its observance by the Board is greatly enhanced.

This position was reaffirmed in the Matter of Packard Motor Car Company (7-C-~4~2, 6 NLRB No. 204, December 7, 1945). The maJonty the Board took the position that "the Board is dedi0 ted to encourage bargaining, and should do 60 in :c absence of any court decision, Congressional action, or statement of national policy to the contrary". It decided that foremen did con~t.itu~~ an appropri~te bargaining unit on the assumption that Congress 10tcnded the Board merely to group employees appropriately, not to exclude them from coverage of t~e Act". It decl:u-cd, therefore, that forcm~n ~nrollcd 1!1 an independent, unaffilia!c~ labo~ organization consbtutc an appropriate bargauung urut.

Accordingly, it declared that all general foremen, department foremen, and assistant foremen in the establishment constitute an appropriate bargaining unit. 1 11 Monthly Labor R,vi,w, March 1946, PP· 399-40 • o Statement of Senator Walah ( Congressional R,cortl, Fint Session, 76th Congress, Volume 84, Part I, P· 741.)

It is now evident that additional attempts will be made during the 1947 legislative session, but the nature and scope of the revisions, if any, that will actually become Jaw cannot be predicted. The Presidential veto of the Case Bill as well as the complete failure in the last decade of every effor t to modify the N.L.R.A. demonstrate the powerful opposition which confronts those who set out to attain their goals in this way. Although the outcome of any attempt to protect the interests of professional employees through legislation cannot be predicted, modifications of the Wagner Act along the lines suggested by professional employees may be a time-consuming process. In the meantime, heterogeneous labor organizations composed largely of non-professional employees undoubtedly will continue their efforts to have professional employees included in their bargaining units. Because they realize the difficulties that face those who seek revision of the Wagner Act and because they believe that the interests of professional and non-professional employees in many respects are dissimilar and that the inclusion of professional employees in heterog~e?us unions may not give them the type of bargaming agency which they want, professional employees have taken various courses of action open to them under the Wagner Act to further their interests. This chapter will examine these courses of action.

Moreover, if the employer grants the bargaining agency either a union a clos.ed shop, professional employees in the shop bargammg umt automatically must become members of the union or forfeit their jobs. ?r. No. 2 : J?o Nothing Until the Representation Issue Anses and Then Seek Exclusion from the Bargaining Unit Some professional employees have waited until the representation issue was raised and then requested the National Labor Relations Board to exclude them from the bargaining unit. Such a request to the Board is not likely to accomplish the desired results. As pointed out earlier, the National Labor Relations Act was passed to protect employees in their "right to self organization, to form, join or assist labor organizations" and "to bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing". Moreover, public policy in part, as expressly stated in the Act, is to encourage the practice and procedure of collective bargaining. In the light of these objectives, the Board has taken the position that elections are held to find out the wishes of employees with respect to a particular union or several unions.seeking certification and not 1 to help employees stay out of labor organizations. There is, of course, a possibility that professional employees may be excluded from a heterogeneous bargaining unit in those situations in which the ~ployer and the union seeking recognition agree of thCJ.l' o~ volition to exclude such employees. Under these arcumstances, the Board, in the. a~ence of a pro~t from professional employees, is inclined to accept ~ determination of the matter. "The fa:t ~a~ th.ere JS no dispute", says the Board, ''usually JS indicative of the propriety of the um't"•2 On the other hand, if the union engaged in ?ranizing the company's employees insists upon ~e ?11" ~Iusion of professional employees in the bargammg �PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYEES' COURSES OF ACTION PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYEES' COURSES OF ACTION 34 unit the issue in most cases will be placed before the B~d. The Board would then apply the criteria established by it for determining the appropriate bargain· ing unit (see pp. 15-16). If professional employees customarily have been included in a heterogeneous labor organization in other plants in the industry, the Board undoubtedly would be reluctant to disturb the prevailing arrangement. Even where such a precedent has not been established and the professional employees refuse to sign membership cards but instead request that they be excluded from the proposed bargaining unit, the petition would not receive favorable consideration. The Board has consistently maintained that elections are held to determine the wishes of employees with respect to a union or unions seeking certification. No. 3: D_o Nothing Until the Representation Issue Ames. and T~en Join a Bargaining Agency Seeking Certification Where a single bargaining agency which is acceptable. to the . professional employees is seekin'g representation this procedure raises no problem.

If he fails to do so or if twoormore a. or. orgaruzabons seek certification, the representa. tion tssue 1s placed bcfore the Board, whose duty it becomes to dete~e what the bargaining unit shall be. If the orgaruzation is free of employe.r initian· d d . . on an . orrunallon, ~e findings of the Board may support its representabon claims. On the other hand the Board's decisio~ m~y be unfavorable since it ap~lies a number of criteria among which the wishes of the employees is but one, and not necessarily the deter• mining, factor. This course of action a lso has certain shortcom• ings. It takes time to clarify issues, to educate fellow em~loyees as to their rights and obligations under the National Labor Relations Act, to consider the various cours~s o~ action that may be taken, to form a labor org~tion, to prepare a constitution, to elect rcprese~tatives and to draw up a petition, with supporting e~d~ce and data, requesting certification as a bar· gammg agency. Such petitions, if they are to have v_alue,_ must be submitted early-certainly before the Situation becomes crystallized. Moreover, professional ~ployees may be at a decided disadvantage in carr'/" 10~ on these activities when competing with the skill~ and experienced organizers who represent well· established unions. These limitations should not be taken to mean that th'15 course of action precludes successful orgaJU· • zation on the part of professional employees who find tbemselves in this situation As a matter of fact, professional employees have b;en successful in obtaining ~eir own bargaining agency in competition with out· side labor organizers. In those situations where professional employees have not had sufficient tiJne to for~ an organization, it may still be possible for tbelll to intervene and assist the Board in deterxni,ning tbe appropriate bargaining unit. To illustrate: in 1944 the professional engineers at the Victor Camden pla~t of the Rad~o <::orporati_on f America, confronted with an organizational drive 0 nductcd by the Federation of Architects, Engineers, ~emists and Technicians, CIC, established a com'ttee which was permitted to intervene and to assist :1e Regional Officer of the National Labor Relations Board in determining the appropriate bargaining unit. At the Globe election conducted by the Board, almost two out of three engineers (64 per cent) voted for a separate bargaining unit. Subsequently they formed their own organization which was certified by the Board a!ter a consent cross-check determination. It should be stressed, however, that this course of action to be cITcctive requires quick action and informed leadership. No. 5: Plan in Advance for a f.:abor Organ_ization but Withhold its Establishment until the Representation Issue Arises The shortcomings of Course of Action No. 4 may be overcome in part by anticipating the problems which would have to be faced if and when the question of representation actually arises. A group of professional employees, not engaged in supervisory work, may draw up a plan of action which could be put into effect when the need arises. Such a group would prepare in advance ( 1) a suggested constitution for a labor organization, ( 2) the publicity to be used, (3) the forms which would be needed, (4) the procedure to be followed in establishing a bargaining agency, and (5) the material to be used in petitioning the National Labor Relations Board for certification. Preliminary planning along these lines may en· able professional workers to retain the status quo and still be in a position to establish a bargaining agency of their own choosing with the minimum of delay. The Board probably would not regard this course of action to be in violation of the spirit and intent of the Act, provided, of course, the new bargaining agency had been developed in conformity with the provisions ~f the Act. It should be noted, however, that this issue has not come before the Board for a ruling, Should this plan be followed, the labor organization when established would still have to be designated as the bargaining agency, which again raises the question as to whether the desired classification of employees would constitute an appropriate bargaining unit in 35 the particular circumstances under consideration. The criteria considered by the Board and the uncertainties involved have been discussed above. No. 6: Form a Labor Organization Before the Representation Issue Arises The professional employees in an establishment, or those in closely related professions have formed their own labor organization and requested the Board for certification before heterogeneous unions raised the representation issue. The advisability of taking this course of action may be questioned by a substantial number of professional employees. Many of them may believe action along these lines to be an impairment of their profes~ sional status. A pronounced individualism and a strong urge towards independence have led some of them to oppose aggressively any efforts which would lead to organization for bargaining purposes. It must be acknowledged, however, that a certified bargaming agency of professional employees has this advantageit will assure that the desires of the professional employees will be presented to their employers by representatives who are primarily concerned with the problems of professional people and have a real desire to further their best interests.5 1 See TabardrcY Manufacturing Company Case, R-5402, 1943, 51 NLRB 246. • 2 Ninth Annual Report of the National Labor Relauons Board, 1944 Fiscal Year, P· SS· 8 Ibid., p.

Should the org~zation to be formed or joined restrict its membership to the employees of a single employer or plant, or should its jurisdiction include the employees of a wider area such as a market, trade, or industry? Should membership in the organization be limited to employees in a given profession, or should it be broadened to include other groups of employees and, if so, what groups? Should organizations of professional employees remain aloof from or join up with one of the major national federations of labor? It is the purpose of this chapter to present the pros aµd cons involved in each of these questions. Company Versus Trade or Industry · Bargaining Agencies Should membership in the organization be confined to the employees of a single employer or plant, or should some larger area such as the trade or industry be the basis of organization? Both types of bargaining agencies are legal under the Wagner Act. Both types have limitations and advantages. The former enables employees to retain the leadership in their own hands, and to deal with problems confronting themselves and their employer in terms of what is best for their own interest instead of in terms of union strategy and objectives or the general situation in a trade or industry. It gives them a free hand in negotiating a contract and permits greater flexibility in solving current controversies since its freedom of action is not limited by a national constitution or by national officers. It also eliminates the necessity of paying dues to a parent organization. On "the other hand, a union restricted to the ~cope of a· single employer or plant because of its lim1t7d jurisdiction, can do very little about industryWide problems. I t has much less bargaining power than an affiliate of a national union, especially when s~es become necessary to win demands. Except in f~ly large companies, its limited treasury will not permit the payment of strike benefits or the employment of experienced negotiators who devote their full time to furthering the organization's objectives. Organizations confined to the scope of a single company frequently serve as successful and satisfactory bargaining agencies in dealing with employers who are fair minded and have a real interest in maintaining mutually-satisfactory industrial relations. They are seldom effective in negotiating with employers who are slow to raise wages but quick to resort to wage reductions in order to effect economies, or in highly competitive industries in which labor standards tend to be undermined by ruthless price cutting. Finally, this type of labor organization does not have the benefit of advice from experienced national officers. A national organization, because of its larger membership, has more prestige. Its substantial treasury enables it to engage full-time organizers, retain a research staff, and to employ competent officers and counsel. Its organizers are at the service of employees who desire to form a labor organization and to unite with it. I ts research staff studies the industry and its problems and brings together essential information about trends in the industry and business generally which will be needed during negotiations. Its negotiators usually. have had a long C.\.-perience in ~ealing with employers and, not being on the employer s pa~roll, have greater freedom of action ~ .do neg~tiators who are. They come to the negotiations eqwpped with economic and statistical data, a broad kno~ledge of the industry and the la?o~ mark:t, ai:1d a wide experience in collective bargammg which 15 usually equal to and sometimes superior to that_ poss~ed ?Y the employer. Because the organization IS n~tional m ' t • much better qualified to deal with prob• d nv and scope, 1 is lems which are common to the trade or m us.._,. which can be dealt with effectively only o~ a na~on:11 or industry-wide basis-an important c~OS1deration m a highly competitive or over-developed industry. �COLLECTIVE BARGAINING ORGANIZATIONS .The officers of national unions, howe~er, are of . • d • • tration organnecessity concerned with uruon a Il11IllS . ! d izi.ng campaigns, union tactics, union politlcs, ant with the broader aspects of the labor mo':'emen • Sometimes they become more concerned with national politics than with union objec~ves and ?rograms. Their concern with the overall p1c~re at umes leads them to disregard situations in particular plants which require special treatment. Sometimes the desi~e for power and influence causes them to be autocratlc in the methods they use, to neglect the day;to-day aspects of collective bargaining, to concentrate on _increasing the union's membership and expanding its jurisdiction and to consolidate their hold on the national organization. Frequently they stress union security and the controversial aspects of collective bargaining and neglect those factors in the employee-employer relationship that make possible greater purchasing power and higher standards of living. Scope of Membership of the Bargaining Agency Both company and national organizations may limit their membership to a single craft or profession or may open it to other groups of employees. There are several possibilities from which professional employees may choose. At the company level these choices are: 1. An organization open to all employees in a ·ven gi plant or company. 2• Anorgamza 'tion °fclencal • and professional employees. 3. ~ organizat!o~ of professional and sub-prof . sional ( technicians, draftsmen research . es etc.) employees, • assistants, 4· 5 • An organization of all professional cmp1oyecs. Organizations. There are, of course, many ..u .......ceptions to this general tendency. I t should also be point d that local organizations often include empl e out oyees of more ~an onethcompany an~ that cooperation through !ederations at e ~ommd.uruty, state, and federal levels 1s commonly practice . Of the six types of organizations listed above th first-that is, an organization open to all employe' . e . tl esm the plant or company- is 1e most inclusive, and th last, an organization of employees in a given profes~ sion, is the least inclusive. It may be helpful to C.'C· plore the advantages and limitations of these two primary types inasmuch as the other forms of organization are intermediate types which attempt to overcome some of the shortcomings and still retain the advantages of one or the other of the primary types. Employees in a bargaining agency confined to the members of a single craft or profession have a community of interest which it is impossible to attain in an organization in which unskilled workers, production workers, clerical and professional workers are enrolled. The skilled tool-maker h as more in common with his supervisor than he has with the laborer who cleans up the shop, and the professional employee is closer in bis interests to his superior than be is to his filing clerk. The more restricted the membership, the greater the community of interest. For example, engineers are drawn together ( x) by an absorbing interest in the technical and scientific knowledge, and the principles and theories comprising the field of engineering, ( 2) by the basic desire to bring about a more effective utilization of materials, machines, human beings, and natural and mechanical forces, and (3) by a mutual concern with the maintenance of high professional standards among engineers. . The persistent demand on the part of ~y skilled craftsmen and professional employees for their own bargaining agency in part grows out of the_ ~act 6, An organization of employees • • that labor organizations are fundamentally poliacal m a given profession, such as engineering. institutions.

On the other hand, organizations limited to the loyees of a trade or profession, because of their emp . seIdom attam • as 1arge a ore restricted membership membership and therefore the economic and political ;ower that goes with lai:ge numbers, no: do they build up as large treasuries m as short a tune as do the more-inclusive organizations. They are also more subject to jurisdictional disputes, that is, controversies which sometimes lead to work stoppages because two craft organiz:itions each claim the right to perform a given operation or class of :,vork or to repr~e~t a given group of workers. This type of orgamzation, moveover, adds to the difficulties of the employer in that negotiations with many separate bargaining agencies are time consuming and complicate both the collective bargaining process and the task of maintaining mutually-satisfactory industrial relations. An organization whose membership is open to all employees in a plant or company also has advantages. In the first place, it is likely to have more bargaining power than the less inclusive type of labor organization. An employer might find it quite possible to replace a limited number of striking toolmakers or engineers, but he would h ardly attempt to replace his entire working force or even all of his clerical and professional personnel. He is more likely, therefore, to seek a common meeting ground and a settlement of the controversy when dealing with an all-inclusive organization than when h e is negotiating with an organization which bas a limited number of members in his establishment. Secondly, an organization open to all employees should reduce the expenses that need to be incurred per employee to secure the advantages of collective bargaining because a single group of officers will suffice for the entire plant or company, and duplication of services, which prevails where two or more organizations exist, is eliminated. In the third place, the larger membership of the more-inclusive organization will give rise to a considerably larger treasury. Such a treasury would enable the employees in a medium· 39 sized or large plant to employ a paid officer who could devote all of bis time to furthering the employees' interest. Action along these lines would place the union representative in a position which should enable him to attain competence in negotiating, interpreting, and administering wage contracts. The task of administering an all-inclusive organization is much more difficult. The lack of a community of interest among the members is more likely to give rise to internal conflicts and to hamper the adoption and attainment of common objectives and the development of union policies and programs. An important shortcoming of this type of labor organization from the point-of-view of professional employees is that it tends to give the non-professional and sub-professional employees a predominant voice in the control of the organization. Relationship of Organizations of Professional Employees to a Federation of Labor Unions Local bargaining agencies of professional employees may wish to form a national organization ~or professional employees in which case they must d~de whether the organization should or should not affiliate itself with •a national or international federation of labor unions such as the American Federation of Labor or the Congress of Industrial Organizations. Affiliation with a federation would give the new organization greater influence in labor cir~es and wo~d enable professional employees to contnbute a pomtof-view which at times has been sorely needed at labor's conference tables. The ,action. to be ta!f:en would largely be determined by the philosophy of mThey dustrial relations held by professional employees, • ti 05 and to might prefer to work with other organ.iza ? help build a unified labor movement which "".o~d deal realistically with economic, social and polio~ roblems of the day, or to "go it alone" and wor ~ut their own problems by thems~lves as ~o~e railroad brotherhoods have done since ~eir mcep Since affiliation with a national federatJ.on would n~t trict the autonomy of the local orgamnecessarilY r es . uld • • the ef.

Chapter VI eir pur. FORMING AN ORGANIZATION FOR COLLECTIVE BARGAINING 1 Slichtcr, Sumner H.: M odern Ee • Holt & Company, N. Y.1 19"1 opnom18c Society, Htn.. ~ 1 p. I 3 to 186, - , sucH FACTUAL DATA as are available make it unmis- takably clear that those engineers and scientists who find it desirable or necessary to bargain collectively prefer to do so through organization of professional employees only. The most extensive survey of the attitude of professional employees toward labor organizations and collective bargaining was conducted by a committee representing 40,000 Canadian members of 14 engineering and scientific organizations. The survey was made to determine the desires of professional employees with respect to unionization and collective bargaining under the Canadian Wartime Labour Relations Order-in-Council (PC-1003) which consisted of a set of regulations designed to protect employees in the exercise of their rights to form labor organizations and to bargain coUectively. This survey disclosed that 92 per ce.n t of the professional employees who e.xpressed their opinions were opposed to being included in bargaining units made up largely of nonprofessional personnel. Instead they expressed a desire for a new Order-in-Council which would establish a separate national board for professional employees only. "Only I per cent indicated a preference for 1 trade unions as their bargaining unit". Unfortunately, no extensive survey has been conducted to determine the desires of professional employees in the United States with respect to collective bargaining arrangements. Such evidence as is available, however, indicates that in those instances in which they desire, or find it necessary, to bargain collectively, a large majority want to be represented by bargaining agencies of professional employees. It is not surprising, therefore, that so many professional ~ployees, when faced with the possibility of being included in h eterogeneous bargaining units, have ~ed to their respective professional societies for adVIce and guidance. This chapter has been prepared to meet the steadily mounting demand on the part of professional ~ployees for information to guide them in organiz· mg a bargaining agency of their own. It is not in- tended to influence the choice of professional employees but to supply them with information not readily available in the literature of collective bar- gaining. Professional employees who are convinced that a labor organization is desirable or necessary may choose between two courses of action. They may invite a national or regional union or association or one of its affiliates to assist them in forming a local or they may form a labor organization of their own. If the first alternative is chosen, the union or association undoubtedly would assist in forming a new local. In many cases, it would also instruct its officers in their duties and responsibilities, assist them in deciding on what would seem to be an appropriate bargaining unit, assist them in getting the local certified when such action is necessary, and either assist them in contract negotiations or negotiate a contract for them.2 If the professional ~ployees of a given establishment on the other band, desire to form their own organization, the path to their objective is less easily traveled. In all probability few if any of the ~rofessional employees will have belonged to a ~on. or have had experience in establishing one. The situa~on may be complicated further by simultaneous o ~ tional activities on the part of one or more competing . having substantial resources and represented uruons di' h by experienced personnel. Under these con tions ow can professional employees keep thems~ves f_~ of heterogeneous unions should that be their d~e. If • • agenacs what they want to form their own bargairung ditions must they meet and what steps should they :e? It is with these questions that this chapter deals, Requirements for Certification by the National Labor Relations Board The immediate goal of the professional em~loy~ omes the establishment of a labor o~aon now bec aiify f ertificaaon by challenged could qu or c Board This does not which, if ' . the National Labor Relaaons • ertified in all mean that these organizations must be c �42 FORMING AN ORGANIZATION instances. Employers may recognize organizations of employees without a determination of a majority by the Board. Such a determination is usually desirable, however, especially in those situations in which a competing organization is likely to claim jurisdiction, because disputes of this character almost invariably require a determination by an agency of the Board. Since such a determination is always a possibility, the new organization should make every effort to qualify for it. A primary prerequisite for certification which every labor organization must meet is freedom from employer domination, interference, financial assistance . or other _support. Employer participation or assistance of any kind in the formation or administration of the organization should be avoided, In determining whether an organization is company dominated the Board asks c':1~ questions which may be reg~ded 8:5 tests or cntena that independent labor organiza. tions ~ust meet. In order that bargaining agencies of ?rofess1~nal em_ployees unknowingly may not engage m practices whi~ la_ter may be regarded as evidence of company ~otrunation, some of the more important of these questions are listed below: I. 2.

The above been . . acts on the part of employers have been take into consideration by the Board and have regarded as eV1"dence of employer domination and FORMING AN ORGANIZATION support, Each case, says the Board, 1?ust be "decided the basis of all the facts and circumstances in0 :Jved. It is impossible briefly to summarize all the ;onsiderations that have entered in the decisions of indivi"duaI cases"" • While professional employees cannot prevent management from engaging in any of the above practices, they can refuse to be a party to them and may quite properly call management's attention to the Board's attitude with respect to any or all of them. Particular attention is called to item 7 of the second list of criteria. In the light of the Board's attitude towards recognition without certification, professional employees should insist that the majority status of their labor organization be determined by agencies of the Board before engaging in collective bargaining. It should be recognized that the framers of the Act regarded the company-dominated union as a device of employers to forestall the formation of legitimate labor unions by their employees. Undoubtedly the Board, in dealing with the actions of employers which it regards as interference or domination, examines them in the light of their effect upon the freedom of action of employees while exercising their rights under the Act. Great care should be exercised by the bargaining agency not only in conforming with the Board's criteria but in scrupulously maintaining its real independence. It may be very difficult for an organization to establish its actual independence once the fact of company domination has been established.15 The position of the Board as summarized by itself follows: 6 "~hen an employee representation plan or company u.n1on has been dissolved, and succeeded by an ostcn• sibly independent union the Board mwt decide on the basis of the entire rcco;d whether the new union i., a genuinely different and unassisted labor organization. Identity of officers and leaders of both organizatioru, similarity in structure, by-laws and constitutions, trans• fer of 3"eU from the old to the new organization, and fav~ritism by the employer to the new organization iu against a rival union have all been found in various Ca&es to indicate continued company domination". . Attention should also be called to the Board's ruling "that a union which, in its collective bargaining con~acts and representative practices, discriminates against employees in the bargaining unit in regard to t~nure of employment, rates of pay, or other substantive condi· • of race, tions of employment on the bas1s 43 co_Ior, or creed, will not be permitted to secure or re~ ~e Boru:d's certification as a statutory represen. tati_ve • It..Pomts out that a statutory representative is obliga~ed to r~pr~e.nt all members of the unit equally and without discnmmation on the basis of race color or creed"'Th • e Board, however, "has held Ithat a' statutory bargaining agent may segregate racial groups ~thin its membership into separate but equally privileged locals or branches of its organization''.& In handling this issue the Board states that it "will scrutinize the contract and conduct of a representative organization and withhold or withdraw its certification if it finds that the organization has discriminated against employees in the bargaining unit through ii! membership restrictions or otherwise".D Informal Canvass of Attitudes of Professional Employees Having a knowledge of the requirements which a labor organization must meet in order to qualify for certification, the professional employees now may determine how their associates feel about organization and collective bargaining. The canvass may be conducted at luncheons, on street cars, bll5Ses, or automobiles going to and from work, or at the employees' homes. It should make available the names and position of eligible professional employees and their attitude towards organization and collective bargaining. The professional employees may be classified as follows: ( r ) those opposed to any form of ~~tion, (2) those favoring an independent orgaruzatJon of professional employees, (3) those sympathetic towards ~filiation with a strong national union, (4) those with no definite opinion, (5) those unwilling to commit themselves, and (6) those who because of absence from work have not been interviewed. Preparation of Statement on Collective Bargaining for Professional Employees While the canvass is being conducted, two or three interested individuals may want to p~pare a brief statement clearly setting forth the expenence of d the National Labor Reprofessional employees un er uld int out ( l) the Jations Act. The statement sho po . events which have led to the contemplated action, �FORMING AN ORGANIZATION 44 FORMING AN ORGANIZATION ( 2) the CJ..-perience of professional employees with heterogeneous bargaining units embracing sub-professional and professional employees and sometimes clerical and even production employees, (3) the advantages and disadvantages of various types of bargaining agencies, (4) the rights of professional employees under the Wagner Act, and (5) the bargaining unit and other recommendations which seem advisable under existing conditions.10 One of the recommendations should be the establishment of a Provisional Committee for the Organization of Professional Employees which should be authorized to conduct the organizing campaign and to suggest measures necessary for the protection of the interests of professional employees. Establishment of Provisional Committee on the Organization of Professional Employees The list of professional employees previously prepared should now be examined. From this list the names of supervisory and confidential employees should be removed.11 This precaution seems advisable in those instances in which an independent labor organization is being formed notwithstanding the Board's statement that "a union is not disqualified to act as the bargaining agent of nonsupervisory employees merely because it may have a few supervisory employees as members".12 It is obvious that the circumstances tend to make an independent union subj ect to more alert scrutiny than is apt to be the case with affiliates of national organizations. For this reason every effort should be made to keep the bargaining ag~ncy independent in fact. Those employees on the list who have CJ..-pressed an interest in the formation of an independent labor organization may now be invited to an informal meeting. Use of company facilities for holding or announcing the meeting should be avoided. The purpose of the meeting should be to determine whether in the opinion of those attending an effort should be made to establish an independent organization of professional employees. The material in the Statement on Collective Bargaining for Professional Employees referred to above should be helpful in presenting the case for organization. After the pros and cons have been carefully considered, those present should be given an opportunity to endorse or reject, by secret ballot, the contemplated course of action. No attempt should be made to force a favorable decision. Should the majority support the program, the next item on the Agenda would be the formation of a Provisional Committee on the Organization of Professional Employees. To preclude later charges of undemocratic tactics, it is suggested that candidates be nominated from the floor. The chairman should first point out the advantages of adequate representation for various occupational groups and departments, and a satisfactory basis of representation should be agreed upon before the nominations are opened. Unless the number of candidates exceeds the number of members desired, those present may indicate their approval by acclamation or a show of hands. The duties of the Provisional Committee are numerous. It must ( 1) work out the procedure to be followed in winning the support of those professional employees who are neutral or are opposed to an independent labor organization; (2) it must overcome the technical difficulties which arise in obtaining approval of the desired bargaining unit; (3) in the event that a competing labor organization asks the National Labor Relations Board for certification before the professional employees are organized, it must be pre~ pared to present the case of the professional employees and to seek the right to intervene at any hearings involving professional employees; (4) it should supervise the preparation of bulletins and releases for eligible employees, the first draft of a constitution and by-laws, as well as application blanks, official ballots, ~d numerous other forms needed during the organJZIDg process; and (5) prepare the N.L.R.B. petition for certification and its supporting statement. As the name suggests, the Provisional Committee is a tempor~ a~ency which will function until a going labor orgaruzation has been established. The Provisional Committee will, of course, work through subcommittees, the number of which will dep~d upon the amount of time available for organization purposes. At least three subcommittees are suggested: one on membership, one to prepare the first draft of a constitution and by-laws and a third to . d_et~e the composition of the ;roposed bargaming urut. with Regional Director of the Conference N•L.R.B. ·tuations in which a competing · lab or In those s1 • b R . h petitioned the Nat:J.onal La or e~.-.;.,auon as • b f th orgoue ore e . ns Board £or maJ' ority representation . • • latlo .. nal Committee has completed its orgaruzation Prov1s10 C rornittee should confer with the Regional O work, the ting the views of the professional emDirector, prdesenlling his attention to the organizational loyees an ca.

It should be noted that the Board has permi!ted professional employees to be represented at h:~gs by a committee which is not a labor orgaruzation within the meaning of the Act and, therefore, could not seek a place on the ballot in the event that an election is ordered.13 Such Intervenors have b_een admitted to help the Board determin~ th: appropnate unit. The importance of intervention m s":c~ proceedings is clearly revealed by a study of decmons of the National Labor Relations Board. The.Board has taken the position that it cannot be expected to look out for the interests of a particular group of emplo,y~es • raise • d du ring unless the question of those interests is • l • 'the the hearings, preferabl,y by those invo ved in proceedings. The Subcommittee on Membership Working under the general direction of . the Provisional Committee the membership subcoIOlD.lttee should prepare an o;en Letter to Professional Employees which should set forth in a terse manner the type of information contained in the Statement on Collective Bargaining for Professional Employees which was previously prepared. This letter sh~uld present not only the contemplated course of ~ctio~, but convincing reasons as to why such action 15 necessary and the measures proposed to effectuate the program. It should not be more than three or four pages in length, should be an objective statement, and as far as possible supported by facts and actual cases. 45 Following the release of the open letter, the committee, assisted by selected professional employees who wholeheartedly support the proposed program, should ·personally interview all eligible persons. A special effort should be made to win the support of professional engineers who by their competence and personal qualities have won the respect ~~ c?n• fidence of their fellow employees. The participation of these individuals may favorably influence the decisions of those who are uncertain or extremely cautious. The interviewers should exercise patience in dealing with eligible candidates who oppose ~e proposed course of action. Many of them ~ have deep-seated convictions growing out of education an~ training their experience in the past and their tempera'ment. The only hope of obtaining t:1eir s~pport is to present clearly and ~ y ~e 1SSUes mvolved what failure to take action will mean, the limitations of other courses of action, and the persons in the organization who are supporting the p~ogram, The method of the interviewer, of course,. will ~ with the type of individual with whom he J.S dealing.

It is hardly necessary to suggest that tl}e Subcommittee in drafting its constitution take into consideration the growing criticism levelled at labor organizations which have centralized great power in a single person or the executive board of the organization. Professional employees should insist upon constitutional safeguards which will ensure democratic administration of their labor organization.1 G The Subcommittee on the Bargaining Unit Unless the new organization of professional employees is recognized as the bargaining agent for the bargaining unit embracing the professional employees, it will have no practical value. In the event of a representation dispute, it will be designated as the bargaining agency by the Board only if the bargaining unit sought conforms with the requirements established by the National Labor Relations Board. Generally speaking, the Subcommittee should not expect to bring all professional employees in the establishment into one bargaining unit. This goal is usually unattainable for several reasons. In the first place, professional employees engaged in confidential or supervisory positions should be excluded. In the second place, professional employees who are employe~ on jobs for which professional training is not essential are seldom eligible for inclusion in a unit of professional employees. Lastly, bargaining units are not composed of individuals based on individual qualifications, such as education, experience, and related_ fa~tors, but classifications of employees engaged m similar or related work. . The Subcommittee therefore must think in terms A unit, says the Board, "delineated, ' • bof Jobs. . upon the di~ of the scholastic (or equivalent) history of inVJ. ~l employees rather than on the basis of their f unction• wou Id •m our op1ruon • • be unworkable and 47 inappropriate for collective bargaining purposes".10 For 1?~t reas~n the Board refused to recognize the bargamm~ umt recommended by labor organizations of professional employees in at least two instances. In the Matter of Curtiss-Wright Corporation the Board refused to include the name of the organization on the ballot, 11 and in the Matter of Southern California Gas Company it delineated a new unit on the basis of functions, placed the name of the Association on the ballot and, when it received the majority of the votes cast, certified it as the bargaining agent.18 Thus, jobs and functions and not individuals constitute the point of attack in determining a tentative bargaining unit. The position taken by the Board with respect to bargaining units for professional employees, as revealed by its decisions, may be helpful to those who have been assigned the task of determining a tentative unit. The Board has developed rules which it generally applies to the following situations: ( r) where a labor organization seeks to bring office and subprofessional employees into a unit with production and maintenance workers, ( 2) where the labor organization desires to place professional, subprofessional and clerical employees in a single unit, and (3) where the unit sought would combine professional and sub-professional employees in one bargaining unit. The Board has repeatedly expressed the opinion that "in the absence of persuasive reasons to the contrary'' clerical, (not plant clerical who work with production workers and under the same supervision) and sub-professional and professional workers "are normally segregated from production and main~ nance workers".19 It has refused to include professional employees in such units in those ~es.in w~ch they have intervened and protested their incl~1on. Cases in which the Board has included professional employees in the same unit with p~uction :'°d maintenance are the exception: usually Ill those situ· ations in which professional employees have requested such action or in which the two parties to the dispute have agreed upon a bargaining ~t and ~o group of employees in the bargaining U01t has raised formal = objections.20 bThe record discloses that professio~ and s~ professional employees have been iacl~ded ~ ing units with clerical employees p~Yth . ·t. they have not challenged their inclusion in e ~ The Board states that "in the absence of persuasive �FORMING AN ORGANIZATION ~ 49 FORMING AN ORGANIZATION reasons to the contrary . . . technical workers are usually segregated ... £rom clerical employees if any • separanon • " •21 One interested party argues for thCU' can with safety assume the same position woul~ be taken by the Board with respect to professional employees. There should be no difficulty in those instances in which professional employees seek representation in a bargaining unit which excludes production, maintenance, and clerical workers provided they intervene before the situation becomes crystallized. It should be pointed out, however, that once professional employees have been included in a heterogeneous hargaining unit, it is extremely difficult for them to withdraw from it for the purpose of establishing a separate bargaining unit of professional employees. The determination of a bargaining unit which excludes technical or sub-professional employees is a more difficult problem. The difficulty does not arise out of the unwillingness of the Board to designate a bargaining unit of professional employees only. It has done so in a number of instances. In two cases a committee representing professional employees-not a labor organization-was permitted to intervene. In both cases . the . committee demonstrated that the work of its constituents was different in function fr that of technical employees. As a result, the Bo: o~dered Globe elections so that it could determine the wishes of these professional employees.22 ~n another case, after the Board had establish d a unit of technical and professional employees but e before the ordered election had been held •• filed b th , a petition Y e employer and objections filed b of professional employees caused th Body a group sider its d • • e ar to recontechnical ecis;on and to order separate elections for ch . emp oyees on the one hand and prof • l emists and engineers on the other.!!8 ess1ona It is apparent, therefore that the diffi confronts professional empl ' . . culty which b . . . . oyees m seeking a se a.rgammg urut is not the attitud f parate one challenges its dAc:_,ti. f e o the Board, unless =iuonoab •• • obstacle which sometun · es • argaming urut.

Th reasons which the Board believed appear to . ~y a separate bargaining unit for professional em24 ~%yees as disclosed by an analysis of six cases are: The Subcommittee may start its dete • . . . . rnunatton of a proposed b argauung urut by preparing a Iist • on which professional employees are workin of Jobs jobs may be classified in the following mann!·: These They perform theoretical rather than manipulative work. They a re responsible for their work. They perform work requiring greater use of judgment and discretion. They require less instruction and supervision. The)" arc engaged on work that requircl higher educational qualifications, such as a college degree or equivalent e>.-perience. They a re hired through the company's central office rather than at the plant where they will work. They have greater possibilities for advancement. In general, they receive higher salaries. They :ire paid on a monthly rather than weekly b:i.sis. They have no fixed maximium or minimum wage r:ite. t . WO~. I. ll, A. Jobs • . ch which unquestionably are profess1onal m aracter. B. Borderline jobs whose functions may not be regarded as professional. or may C. Jobs which are clearly nonprofessional in character. . 4 . 5 The_ Su~co~ttee undoubtedly will include Class A Jobs m their proposed bargaining unit. After a careful study of Class B jobs, it presumably would select those jobs which in its opinion ought to be in the bargaining unit and for which a case can be made. Since job functions constitute the basis on which the bargaining unit is constructed, jobs in Class C cannot be expected to qualify for the proposed bargaining unit. This does not mean, however, that the bargaining unit as finally determined by the Board would necessarily be composed exclusively of employees in qualified jobs because the Board sometimes adds those workers, few in number who directly or indirectly assist professional employ~ and who o~envise might have difficulty in obtaining representation. It should be noted also that all employees, other than those engaged on jobs of a supervisory or confidential nature, who are working on jobs assigned to the bargaining unit must be included in the proposed unit. It is apparent from what has been said that the delineation of a bargaining unit is complicated by the fact that employees who have not met professional standards sometimes work side by side with graduates of approved educational institutions or employees who have otherwise acquired professional status, . _The Subcommittee may have to justify the bar· gaming unit which it seeks to have established, For that r~on it may be advisable to support its peti~on for certification with a statement of the reasons which explain its choice of jobs.

Lastly, the proposed bargaining unit should n~t be defined in the Constitution until the labor orgaruzation has been designated as the bargaining agency. It may be necessary to modify the proposed bargaining unit in subsequent discussions with the Board. o::u- Organization Meetings When the Subcommittee on Membership has obtained the support of a majority of the employees in the proposed bargaining unit, sooner if events make such action advisable, all eligible employees should be invited to a meeting to hear the report of the Provisional Committee on the Organization of Professional Employees. Since a copy of the Open Letter to Professional Employees has previously been mailed to all eligible voters, further e>.-planations of the purpose of the meeting should not be necessary. . At the meeting the Committee might review bnefly the problem confronting professional employees, the possible courses of action the advantages ~d ~advantages of each, and the p;oposed bargainmg urut. The findings and recommendations should then be presented. A frank discussion of all the issues should be encouraged. If deemed advisable . f , a representative o a labor organization of professional employees from a nearby establishment may b . . d to relate the experiences of his organizati e _mthvitel lecti b • • on Wl co ve _argammg and to review the steps taken by his associates in establishing th.,;. . . = association. After a full discussion of the pertinent the Chairm matters, an may suggest that action be taken on the recommendations of the Provisional CoIIlJnitte Unless objections ar~ raised, a ballot prepared in a: vance of the meeting should be distributed. Th ballot may list the possible courses of action tha~ might be taken so that voters may consider all possibilities and select the one they prefer, or it may simpl afford them an opportunity to indicate whether th/ favor the formation of an independent labor organ{. zation of professional employees and, in the event they do, whether they would join such an organization and give it their support. The ballot should request the signature, the name of the department, and the position title of each voter. Because some voters may wish to give the matter further consideration, selfaddressed envelopes should accom pany the ballots. The Provisional Committee with the assistance of two or three additional employees selected from those present at the meeting should tabulate the votes and announce the results either by mail or at the ne..xt meeting. If a majority approves the establishment of an independent labor organization, the date for the n ext meeting sh ould be set and a copy of the proposed constitution mailed with the notice of the meeting. At the second organization meeting, the proposed constitution should be the principal item on the agenda. Each provision of the constitution should be discussed and suggested modifications and additions carefully considered. Notes should be taken of the discussion so that the Subcommittee on the Constitution and By-Laws will have the information _on which to revise the constitution in accordance with .• n the wishes of those present. If a difference of opllllO arises with respect to any article or section and more than one clause or solution is suggested, all propos~ should. be included in the revised constitution an listed as possible choices from which one is to be selected.

Since membership in orgaruzat:J.ons of professional employees is in part based on education and experience the blank should provide space for reporting esse~tial information concerning the educational and job history of the applicant. Finally, the application blank may carry a statement to the effect that the applicant, if admitted, agrees to subscribe to the provisions of the constitution. Appendix E reproduces the "Application for Membership" of the Southern California Professional Engineering Association. When the membership has been determined by an examination of the application blanks filled in at the meeting, the report of the nominating committee becomes the next major item on the agenda. If elections are to be held at this meeting, an official election ballot should have been prepared in advance. If time permits, the election is frequently held by mail. Appendix F reproduces a copy of a ballot used by an association of engineers and engineering assist• ants in a Philadelphia company. When the votes cast in the election have been tabulated, the newly elected officers take over all the responsibilities of the Provisional Committee. In most instances, many of the members of the Committee Would serve as officers and representatives of the ne':"' organization. As a result, the conduct of the organization's affairs should not be materially affected. The official installation of the officers should take place at a later meeting. Determination of Majority for Representation Purposes The organization now has two immediate objectives to attain: designation of its organization as the 51 representative of the employees in the proposed bargaining unit and a collective bargaining contract with the employer. The first step to be taken is to write a letter to the employer calling his attention to the fact that the organization represents a majority of the employees in the positions and departments or divisions included in the proposed bargaining unit and requesting a meeting with an authorized representative of the Company for the purpose of negotiating a contract with respect to wages, hours, and working conditions. At this meeting the employee representatives may be able to convince the employer that they represent a majority of the employees in the unit. In that event, assuming that no other labor organization seeks to represent them, the employer may recognize the organization without majority determination by the National Labor Relations Board. Frequently, after ascertaining the composition of the bargaining unit proposed by the organization, he will_ refuse recognition until the organization has been designated by the Board. From the standpoint of the labor organization, the latter course of action is mor_e desirable. Informal recognition without a detemunation by the Board leaves the organization m?re vulnerable to a challenge on the part of a competmg organization. For that reason, the representatives of the professional employees may want t? maneuver the negotiations so that the employer ~ request a determination of majority representation by the Board. • of th A petition must be filed with the Director . e Re •onal Office of the National Labor Relatio~ gid • the area in which the establishment IS Boar m • has t done located.

In that event they may W1Sh t~ reread the description on that aspect of the Boards work in Chapter I (pp. 15 to 28, inclusive) ~d the Board's Rules and Regulations, a copy of which may 'be obtained at one of its regional offices. If another labor organization is interested in representing the professional employees, the new organization may find itself confronted with two difficulties: ( 1) challenge of the unit sought and (2) a possible challenge of the legal status of its organization on the ground that it is employer encouraged and dominated. The first difficulty can be met by carefully defining the unit in functional terms, and by a willingness to accept modifications of its proposed unit when the Board's requirements make such action advisable. A charge of employer domination is much less likely than a challenge of the bargaining unit. The status of the Central Ohio Group of Professional Engineering Employees, however, was challenged by the AFL on the grounds that the American Society of Civil Engineers-including employers as members and officers-was instrumental in its establishment. The Board never decided this question because the unit sought by the Group was found inappropriate.2 0 The Association of Industrial Scientists, at Shell Development Company, was also challenged as an employer-dominated organization by the Federation of Architects, Engineers, Chemists and Technicians c.1.0.21 ' A challenge of this nature is a serious matter b~~e the ~oard will not consider a representation F'.etition unri! the charge has been investigated, a bme-cons~g process. Fortunately, this practice is the exception and not the rule.

Be it enacted by t/ie Senate and House of Representatives of the U nited States of America in Congress assembled, PINDlNOS ANO POLICY SECTION r. The denial by employers of the right of employees to organize and the refusal by employers to ac• eept the procedure of collective bargaining lead to strikes and other forms of industrial strife or unrest, which have the intent or the necessary effect of burdening or obstructing c_ommerce by_ (a) imp~n_g the efficiency, safety, or opera• !1on of the mstrumentalittes of commerce; (b) occurring m '?~ current of c?mmerce; (c) materially affecting, re• strauung, or controlling the Bow of raw materials or manufactured or processed goods from or into the channels of commerce, or the prices of such materials or goods in com~crce; or (d) causing diminution of employment and wages m such volume as substantially to impair or disrupt the market for goods Bowing from or into the channels of commerce. The inequality of bargaining power between employees ~ho do not possess full freedom of association or actual liberty of contract, and employers who are organized in the . ~rporate or other forms of ownership association substantially burdens and affects the Bow of commerce and tends to aggravate recurrent business depressions, b; depressing ~ge rates and the purchasing power of wage earners in industry and by preventing the stabilization of competitive wage_ rates and working conditions within and between industnes. . h Experience has proved that protection by law of the : t to employees to organize and bargain collectively C~ards commerce from injury, impairment, or inter?Upti?n, and promotes the flow of commerce by removing CCrtain recognized sources of industrial strife and unrest, by encouraging practices fundamental to the friendly adjustment of industrial disputes arising out of differences as to wagalie~, hours, or other working conditions, and by restoring cqlu ty of bargaining power between employers and emp oyees. Sta It is hereby declared to be the policy of the United st tes_ to eliminate the causes of certain substantial obe:~tions to the free Bow of commerce and to mitigate and en mate these obstructions when they have occurred by ~raging the practice and procedure of collective barfre d g and by protecting the exercise by workers of full repe om of_ association, self-organization, and designation of nc ~cn_tativcs of their own choosing, for the purpose of ot~~~ating the terms and conditions of their employment er mutual aid or protection. Ste. 2.

In discussing this question, I shall feel at liberty to go far afield, and shall probably digress from the subject, but I shall endeavor to "keep Ylithin the one mile wide and one inch deep", as the standard set by a former noted State Senator f1 ·om Sweetwater County, at present a. member of thi[:; ']lub. This, I feel, will give me all the latitude I desire and if I wander quite freely, I s~all only do so as a means of correlating the several viewpoints on the subject, a.sit is extensive and presents many angles, With this in mind, I shall proceed feeling at perfect liberty to exceed the rather meagre time the Chairman has ~llotted me and continue unt ~l I have finished my pr~sentation of the subject as I notice this ia n custom qu:i;te widely followed by some of the speakers at meeting~ of this kind. Tqe question of mechanization of coal mines is a. large one, and outside of the mining fra.ternity very little understood, so it may not be out o{ plnce to sta.te briefly wha~ is meant when we talk of the mechanization of coal mine~. It mea.ns the mining, drilling und loading of coo..l by mnchinery, instead of by hand work, and the hauling of qoal with locomotives, instead of with live stock. Minin~, drilling a.nd hnuling of coal 'for years hnve b~en done extensively with machinery; for exnmp_lo, in 1900 only 3% of the coul mined in the united States uas mined by machinery; in 1926, • 7a{o wa.s so mined, . the drilling a.nd hnulipg increasing but proba.bly in r. lessor rc.tio .' on tho other ha.nd, tho loading of coa.l mechnnica.lly is of very recent origin. From 1~23 to 1925, the increa.so in loading ma.chinos in the United Sta.tea wa.s 176% nnd in a.mount of coal lo~ded 232fo. Only 1,879,726 tons were mechanically loo.dad in 1923, _during 1924, 3,495,222; in 1925, 6,243,104 tons; 1926, probably lO,i00,000 tons.

Tho business depression in Rock SprinGs lies doeper than nny question of �iua ~hanizntion. You \"lill understand this better, and I am sure you ,Jill be interest·· ed in some figures which I will give you, after you have studied these figures. The output from the Union Pacific mines is less .than it was in 1923 but t. Jli.s· is largely accounted for by the :fact that the Union Pacific Railroad Compa}?.y is pu:r.chasing quite a large tonnage from who.t o.re known as the -commercial mines, ao we may consider that the Union Pacific Ra.ilr?ad consumption of coal mined in th~s distriet is ·El.bout the so.me from year to year. One looking over th~ commercial pro- duction will see that this is where one of the chief troubles lies. A study of the State Mine Inspector's report discloses the fact that for the y~ar 1919 (appar_e ntly a year of normal · production) and for the year 1926, there is a very large decrease in prodµction for ·the period covered by these years.

Hundreds of ooal companies, both _l ar ge and small, have s ubscribed to the EDISON LAt.lP RENTAL CONTRACT. It oosta a miner six to ten cents per shift to opera.t a an open flame cap lamp. He is willing to pay the same amount for the use of a government approved oap lamp that nill give him, not only sefe but better and more uniform illumination. The usual rate charged the miner for the use of an aleotrio oap lamp is from six to ten oents per shift or fro m seventy-five oents to one dollar per pay. This is suffioient to pay all oharges age.ins t t he l amps, including rental, lamp house labor, power for charging the bat taxi es and fixed charges on lamp house structure. The JJine Safety Applio.noes Company will install EDISON LA!.1PS and charging equiplll8nt and furnish all supply parts without any capital expenditure on your part; it is only neoesaary for you to furnish a lamp house, a competent lamp tender and the proper power for oherging the batteries .

REPLY TO SAN FRANCISCO OFFICE Union Pacific Coal Co. Mr. A. W. Dickinson, Gen. Supt., Rock Springs, ~yoming. Gent.lemen: Since writing you recently a number of large corporations have standarized on the Permissible Safety Flashlight and by so doing have eliminated the possibility of accidents from Flashlights igniting combustible gases. The response and interest shown in the Eveready Approved Safety Flashlight by the large public utilities, petroleum companies and industrials, where portable Flashlights are used in combus'tible gases, proved to us that the Eveready Flashlight has a definite field and use in places of this kind. In addition to the very excellent safety features, it is the most practical Safety Flashlight for industrial work, as it is so ruggedly built having a focusing beam and carrying an extra globe in the case which enables the user to replace the burnt out globe on the job. 1'he Eveready Safety Flashlight carries both the Permissible Seal of the United States Government and the Underwriters Laboratories, and is the only Flashlight that has the above two approvals. We are very anxious to place this information before you and would be glad to give you further details and prices for immediate shipment upon receipt of your orders.

REPRINTED FROM HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW SPRING, 1936 �THE FUTURE OF THE BITUMINOUS COAL INDUSTRY BY JOHN T. RYAN, JR. I I NTERNAL problems of the bituminous coal industry have received considerable thought and extensive publicity in recent years. The depressed condition of this basic industry has been the subject of inquiries, learned and otherwise, into its many phases: social, economic, and political. From these investigations has been drawn a picture of an industry faced with overdevelopment, intense competition, labor difficulties, shifting of production centers, and large numbers of unemployed workers. Many details of this internal situation have been treated previously in the Harvard Business Review. 1 This article will attempt a discussion of the external conditions confronting the bituminous coal industry at present, and of those factors likely to prevail in the future. Knowledge of the external factors is today more of a prerequisite to an· understanding of the condition of the coal industry than wquld have been the case twenty years ago. This rise in importance of the external factors has resulted from growth of the competitive fuels-oil, gas, and hydro-electric power-which have changed the market position of bituminous coal from a virtually noncompetitive situation to one of intense competition. The total energy needs of the nation are now met by several fuels instead of coal alone as had been the case prior to the War. The major causes for this chang~ and the probable future developments, will be discussed in .this article. I Wolfe, Thomas M., "Recent Changes in the Bitua minous Coal Industry," X HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW i, January, 193:, p. 149. Growth of Competition The clearest conception of the status of the coal industry is given in Chart I. From this graph it will be seen that the total energy demand of the country has been supplied not by coal, but by increases in the use of competitive fuels, and through great efficiencies in the utilization of coal. No longer is the energy market of the United States identical with the energy market for CHART I ANNUAL SUPPLY OF ENERGY FR.Old MINERAL Fu&LS AND WATE R PowER -- ~l00 ~ l9o i8o =, !C.Oa,/ - .... .\ ]10 '- ~ bO ~ I I ~ 'E"' 50 I e . ~40 cd ]30 iS! .. ~20 "' 10 ~ Oi/and ~ e o1899 ~ OIS 1., ~~ Water p'o wer 1qoq 1913 l'IISl'rZO Year 1q25 1q30 1q34 ~::,~;u~:;!~~lt'~M!~~l.;'l:tt.~'1..lhL..½n coal, as it once was. This market is now split into segments, each of which overlaps the other, and permits widespread competition. The decline in the percentage of energy produced from coal has been due to the influence of two major factors: displacement of coal by more economical use, and displacement by Printed in U.S. ,\. �Harvard <:Business W,eview competitive fuels. \Vhen more effective utilization is made of coal, less tons of coal are needed to produce the same number of energy units, but coal is still being used. Some idea as to the significance of this factor may be gained from the graphs in Chart II, which show the effect of economies in the use of coal by railroads, central power stations, and CHART U DEVELOPAIENTS IN FUEL EFFICIENCY 200 150 - - r--.. i,...- r--. - ,..

Many of these economies have benefited the coal industry through enabling coal to compete on a cost basis with the competitive fuels, and have thus maintained a market for coal which would have gone in some measure to other fields. Competitive F1tels. Displacement of coal by competitive fuels results in the loss of large amounts of coal tonnage, since the entire marke t for coal is lost through such displacement rather than the amount of coal requ ired being decreased, as in the case of econom ical utilization of coal. When the displacement is by coke, manu factured gas, or some other coal derivative, the market is not entirely lost to coal, although some decrease in demand may take place as the result of more economical application of these coal-derived fue ls. Gross coal tonnage is redu ced when coal is displaced by competitive fuels, and is likely also to be cu rtailed through more economical use. Some increase in gross tonnage might result througli the more effective utilization of coal in those cases in which the cost of coal is an appreciable element of the total cost of the product, so that reductions in the cost of coal through economies in use permit a lowering of the selling price of the product. If the demand for the product is an elastic demand, an increase in volume of production may result, and this would be transmitted into an increase in the gross tonnage of coal. The conditions above are not typical of most industries using coal, since the fuel cost is usually a small proportion of the selling price, or else the industry using coal is one operating under conditions of monopoly and government regulation, such as the utilities and the railroads, in which price changes are made slowly. These two aspects of declining coal consumption, economies in use and the shift to competitive fuels, are h~t the results of complicated and interacting forces that have prevailed in the coal industry. Two major influences have; acted to bring about this changed situation: high prices prevailing from �The Future of the <:Bituminous Coal Industry 1916 to 1923 and the breakdown in the traditional limits of fuel markets. Prices of Coal. The fluctuations in the average value per ton of coal at the mine can be followed in Chart III. It should be remembered that actual consumer prices varied above these prices by widely fluctuating amounts, so that in times of car shortages or strikes the consumer prices were above $10 a ton. This price situation could not be met by the industrial consumer until large, low-priced supplies of natural gas and fue l oil came on the market to furnish a s ubstitute for coal. There was little demand for substitute fuels in the period from 1899 to 1915 (when the price for coal was rather constant at $r.15 a ton at t he mine), and coal maintained its leadership in the fuel market, 92.0% of the total energy demand being met by coal in I 899 and 87 .1 % in 1913. This decrease over that period was slight compared with the declines after the War. During t his period, the markets for the various fuels were rather rigid. Bituminous coal was used for transportation, manufacturing, and coke production, while anthracite found its chief use in domestic heating. Natural gas was used for lighting and cooking, and fuel oil was but little used. There was very little overlapping of the fields of use for the various fuels. In the succeeding period, however, the entire energy demand situation became complex. The price for coal, beginning in I 915, began to rise because of war needs, and the setting of high prices for coal during the war period served to attract large amounts of capital into the industry with attendant overdevelopment. Car shortages and labor difficulties following the War led to a continuation of high prices for coal 32 7 which brought large profits to the operators, but also resulted in high fuel costs for consumers. The high cost of fuel and the technological advances in coal utilization and substitute fuels were causing fundamental changes beneath this apparently prosperous picture of the industry. The former tight compartments served by each fuel in the energy market were being broken down. Fuel oil began to encroach on coal in industrial heating, CHART III B ITUMINOUS COAL PRODUCTION AND VALUES AT THE MINES bOO ., ; 500 ; ;hoo V l1 Pro<{tJC tion I l ; C 100 I I - 0 ,qoo I ' ... l;400 ~ I\ n ~ ~ t- Jzoo lb 4 ; I V ' I "' 2j V 0 C I .

The total energy demand was no longer the demand for coal alone, but became a demand for coal, fuel oil, natural gas, and electricity produced by water power. This breakdown of previously assured markets for coal was obscured by the prevailing high price of coal and large profits. The full significances of the changes taking place in the market did not become clearly visible until after the break in coal prices in 192r. From that period, despite the drastically lowered coal prices, demand for coal exhibited a horiz~mtal or declining trend. Equipment for using substitute fuels, and for more economical use of coal, which was installed during the period of high coal prices, continued in use despite the sudden shift in the price structure. The �Harvard <:Busr.'ness ~r.'ew costs of the new equipment, fear of higher coal prices in the future, danger of shortages due to car shortage oi labor difficulties, and the advantages for some users of competitive fuels served effectivel y to prevent any change in the declining curve of coal consumption. In addition to the high prices of coal from 1916 to 1922 1 which gave a large initial stimulus to the growth of substitute fuels, there were many reasons, important to large groups of consumers, for the use of fuels other than coal. Eas~ of handling other fuels as compared with coal, and the assurance of a dependable supply free from interference by labor troubles and transportation difficulties, were important for household consumers and some industries. Maintenance of a more constant quality standard for the competitive fuels, the progress in the adaptation of gas and fuel oil to many industrial uses, and the lessened bulk relative to energy value of the substitute fuels were important advantages for many industrial users. It is likely that advantages such as these were more significant in the change from coal to substitute fuels after the initial period in which relative price was important. The coal industry in this period had to face its competition at a time when it was in no condition internally to wage an effective battle. The development of new fields in southern West Virginia and Kentucky, and these newer sections then operating under low wagerate, non-union conditions, brought about a major cleavage in the industry which prevented united action against the external conditions. Price competition, as between producing sections and between individual concerns, demanded a far greater proportion of the managements' attention than did the development of plans for meeting the external competition in the m arket. Thus t he depression for the coal industry may be said to have begun in the ea rly twenties. Present Sit1tation An appraisal of t he present position of coal in the competitive fuel market requires a detailed ana lysis of the relative amounts of the v arious fuels used by consumers in the U nited States, and a determination for each of the major consuming groups as well as the major geographical regions of the amounts of fuel oil and natural gas directly competitive with coal. The production figures for the various fuels do not give this necessary pict ure of t he com petit ive situation, since much of the oil and natural gas is noncompetitive wit h coal either through t he nature of the use o r the geographical position of the user with respect to the oil fields or coal fields. Such a detailed study was made recently by the National Industrial Conference Board and the following estimates are taken from their report. 2 Displace111e11t of Coal by Competitive Fuels. Fuel oil, the report estimated, had in 1929 been responsible for the displacement of about 24 million tons of coal directly. The influence of this fuel was felt largely in the Appalachian coal region because of the presence of large oil refining centers along the Atlantic seaboa,r d and in the Pittsburgh region. The oil fields along the Pacific Coast contributed toward the displacement of much coal in that area. Natural gas in the same year, it was estimated, displaced 20 million tons of coal directly. This competition was important in the prairie states west of the Mississippi and in the . Rocky Moun2 Tnr CompttiJioe PoJition of Coal in thr U11itd Stairs. New York: National Industrial Conference Board, 193:i. �'The Future o.f the <:Bz"tuminous Coal Industry tains. This natural gas competition has been increasing since 1929 as a result of the continued development of pipe lines to supply natural gas to the larger industrial centers in the East, where it Con.suming Group Ener gy Producing, Converting, and Distributing Industry England. On the Pacific Coast its competition is more directly with fuel oil.

The coal equivalent of the 33 billion kilowatt hours of hydro-electric power produced in 1930 was 27 million tons, but not all of this energy was competitive directly with coal, since fuel oil and natural gas have also felt this influence. Water power competes to a great extent with coal in the Southern Appalachian States, New York, and New forms of energy by consuming groups in the United States for 1929. Profits and Costs. Turning now to the internal condition of the industry at present, one £nds a situation as to profits not unlike that of the past few years, in that some producing sections show a small profit per ton and others a corresponding loss, with the total profit margin for the industry being but a few cents a ton. The most recent report on �Harvard ~usiness ~view costs in the bituminous coal industry is that compiled by the Division of Research and Planning, Bituminous Coal Section, National Recovery Administration.

The percentage of the mines reporting varies from district t o district, with a bout t wo-thirds of the total production being represented . A summary of t he complete cost report is giv en in Table I I. The average figure in this table is a weighted average of each of the producing section s in the report. The total net tons produced were used to weight t he margin and compensation insurance figures. Asample section of the repo rt, giv ing the figures in detail for the ·western Pennsylvania section, is given in T a ble III. The total margin for t he indu stry, based on costs and selling prices at t/14 -mine for the ten-months period given, was 2.7 cents a ton. The margins r anged from 5.79 cents a ton loss in the Eastern Subdivision to a profit of 9.38 cents a ton in Southern Number I District. That this condition is not just a recent one is shown by United States Treasury Departmentstatistics for 1929,a yearof greatest profit for many industries, in. which 1,437 bituminous coal companies, producing 46% of the total output, operated at a loss, and their deficits exceeded those of the profitable companies so that there was a net loss for the industcy as a whole in 1929. . Although too many conclusions cannot be drawn from these cost tables, since they represent average figures for the industry, thus including mines of all sizes and levels of efficiency, yet they do give a picture of the industry as one having but a small margin of profit per ton at the mine, as compared with margins reaching into the dollar figures during the War and for a short period afterward. These figures do point out the necessity for consideration of the small margin with which the operator has to work at present, and give an idea of the division of total cost into labor and fixed ano variable expenses. �The Future of the <:Bitum£nous [oaf Industry The bituminous coal code under the NRA served to strengthen the price structure in some measure, and gave great incentive to the unionization of the southern West Virginia and Kentucky fields. As a result of the virtual 100 % organization of the miners into the Unit ed M ine Workers of America, there has been a demand for equalizat ion of wage schedules in all competing coal fields which would result in a raising of the wages in these southern fields. T he implications of this union strength will have to be considered in any analysis of internal condit ions in the industry, for the next few years at any rate. Future Demand P rospects A consideration of the prospect s for fu t u re changes in the demand for coal involves studies and estimates as to which of the competitive fuels will be involv ed, how much coal production will be a-ffected by the change, and in what indust ries and in what regions the demand changes will be noticeable. The problem of competitive fuels may be subdiv ided as follows: Competitifle with Coal Primary Fuels Secondary F1tels Natural Gas Fuel Oil Crude Petroleum Kerosene Hydro-electrical Energy Non-competitifle with Coal P rimary Fuels Secondary Fuels None Coke from Coal Ma~ufactured Gas Coal-generated Electrical Power The two major competitive fuels facing coal in the market are fuel oil and natural gas, since they account for the largest amount of coal displaced by substitute fuels. Expansion of hydro- 33 1 electrical power generation is limited by power sites available, length of economical power transmission, and by the more efficient performance of coal using power plants. Little, if any, private development of water power is foreseen at present, and the effect of government development in view of the legal and political uncertainty is at present unpredictable. Kerosene and crude petroleum do not account for much of the competition of substitute fuels.Fuel oil is a by-product of the gasoline manufacturing industry and the expansion of the supply from this source depends upon the demand for gasoline and the supply of crude oil available. As long as the consumption of gasoline increases and there are abundant supplies of crude oil, there will be little incentive to recover from the crude oil any greater percentage of gasoline than at present, so that additional fuel oil will be placed on the markeF to compete with coal. As gasoline production is likely to be maintained, the important factor will doubtless be the supply of crude oil. If no major discoveries of new pools are made, the supply of crude oil will begin to decline, and there will be greater incentive for the refiners to convert a larger portion of the crude into gasoline and reduce the fuel oil supply. With coal on a competitive price basis with fuel oil, and with effective selling effort, improved quality, and consuming economies, the competition from fuel oil is not likely to increase, and may decrease. Natural gas has been increasing as a competitor of coal because of expansion of pipe lines for the transportation of surplus gas from the producing regions to large centers of population and industry. There is a limit, however, to the extension of pipe lines, since it would not be economical to extend �33 2 Harvard 'i3usiness 7.v!.,view these lines to any but the larger areas of population. Following the completion of these major pipe lines, expansion of gas consumption will take place within the areas served by the existing lines. This expansion will also have to meet the challenge furnished by coal through its economical use, improved quality, and competitive price. The National Industrial Conference Board in 193 r estimated displacement of 20 million tons of coal as probable by natural gas, and this in regions west of the l\liississippi rather than east. Reduction in coal tonnage through additional economies in utilization will be discussed in more detail under the individual industrial groups, but in general it is likely that additional economies will not affect gross coal tonnage to the extent that they have in the past, since the level of efficiency is much higher now, and less percentage improvement is to be expected and less grt>ss tonnage is affected. Demands from the Chief Conswmers. An analysis of the future demands for coal in the major consuming industries involves an estimate as to the direction and extent of changes in the future in the fuel needs of these industries. It can be perhaps stated generally that unless the relation between coal prices and competitive fuel prices changes there will not be the great incentive for industrial users to change from coal to other sources of fuel that existed in the early twenties. However, advances in the design and construction of stokers and furnaces will take place with a view toward economy in use of coal, and the replacement of obsolete, inefficient combustion units with newer units will also tend t o reduce coal consumption. In electric power production, one of the large coal markets, the economies in use will probably come from two sources: mechanical design of equipment, and concentration of electrical production in the larger, more efficient plants. To what extent local and national governmental policies may tend to offset this shift toward larger generating units is problematica l at present. Rate reductions may increase the demand for electrical energy and th is will be reflected in larger consumptio n. In general, coal consumption by the electrical industry is likely t o increase somewhat in the future. The demand for coal from t he railroads will be influenced to a large measure by the future prospects for increased railroad traffic, and an estimate of the future is difficult at present until the rate problem and competitive influences are adjusted. Some influences upon the railroad coal demand can be discussed, such as fuel oil competition, economical utilization of coal, and electrification. Fuel oil competition in this field is not likely to increase, since the greatest percentage of fuel oil is consumed by the railroads in two areas, the Southwest and the Northwest. Its use is generally restricted to regions close to the source of supply, and extension of its use into the East and Middle West is not likely. Any extensive modernization program by the railroads would involve a decreased demand for coal as the newer locomotives would be of high efficiency and use less coal per ton-mile. The new Diesel types of locomotives may involve some decreased use of coal, but the great bulk of the railroad traffic will continue to be hauled by steam, coal-burning locomotives. Utilization of coal by the manufacturing industries in the future will be influenced largely by shifts to electric power and by economies in the use �The Future of the :Bituminous (oal Industry of heat and fuel. This analysis leaves out the effect of future trends in manufacturing output, which are difficult to estimate. The use of electric power is likely to grow in the manufacturing industries and this shift from private industrial power plants or steam engines to the larger central power stations will result in a lessened demand for coal in view of the larger economies in coal utilization realized in the larger cent ral power plants. In so far as this shift is to hydro-electric power, the effec t o n the coal demand will be materially greater. Increased attention to possibilities for utilization of waste steam and heat in industrial plants will also decrease the coal consumption of this g roup of industries. In the iron and steel industries, it is believed that the major economies have already been felt as regards utilization of coal with the development of the byproduct coke oven, utilization of a larger percentage of scrap steel instead of iron in the open-hearths, and in use of waste gases around the steel plant. There is not likely to be much reduction in demand from this source, and any increases will be dependent upon the rate of increase in steel production. Bituminous coal and coke will probably increase at the expense of anthracite coal in the domestic heating market. The development of suitable stoker arrangements for the use of small-size coal, and suitable ash removal devices, will enable coal to compete with fuel oil and gas in this market. Natural gas in the large cities will continue to be a vigorous competitor of coal as the natural gas lines have in recent years been extended to large mid-western and Middle Atlantic states cities. Coke and manufactured by-product gas from coal will furnish competition for ant hracite coal in the larger eastern cities. Coal 333 will face its greatest competition in those areas where surplus gas production exists or areas into which this surplus gas is piped, in regions around crude oil refineries, and in those areas remote from coal, gas, and oil where all three can be on a competitive price basis. Domestic demand for energy is likely to increase, but the competition among the fuel sources will also increase. The future demand prospects for bituminous coal, in general, are not discouraging at present, since the effect of competitive fuels has already made its greatest impact, future economies in utilization are not likely to cause such a decrease in gross tonnage as in the past, and the industry has awakened to the realization that it is highly competitive. No large increases in coal demand, other than those due to the general business cycle, are in sight, but this conclusion is in itself encouraging when viewed in the l,i ght of the previously declining trend. That these prospect s may be realized, however, requires the maintenance of a price for coal competitive with that of gas and fuel oil, and of quality and service standards in line with those of competitive fuels. Fut1tre Marketing Prospects The marketing side of the coal industry will receive increasing attention in the future as it becomes necessary to sell coal aggressively in the face of severe competition with natural gas and fuel oil. Informed, modern marketing policies, such as those of the Essa Marketeers, in selling oil burners and fuel oil, will have to be met by equally aggressive selling. Although the price aspect will still be important, the consumer will demand more from coal than its B.t.u. content. The engineering developments would seem to lie in the direction of a suitable, clean, simple, �334 Harvard ~us£ness ~view and efficient stoker and furnace. This will i-nvolve a consideration of all the factors desired by the domestic consumer in a fuel. Such an analysis was given in a recent paper before the American Institute of M ining and Metallurgical Engineers. 3 The factors were divided into those of cost and those of convenience, as follows: Cost 1. Cost of the potential heat in the fuel z. Efficiency of combustion a nd heat transfer 3. Fixed charges a. Interest b. Depreciation c. Maintenance 4. Power costs for operation 5. Handling cost for ashes and refuse Convenience I. Attention and flexible control z. Dirt 3. Noise of handling and operation 4. Ease of handling both fuel and refuse A marketing program which began with the development of suitable devices to insure the domestic user of a convenience in use comparable to that of fuel oil and natural gas, and followed up by aggressive selling effort, would do much to enable coal to compete effectively with gas and fuel oil. Io industrial marketing, coal will have to be sold less as a bulk commodity and more as a specialty fuel. Engineering analysis of industrial steam plants to determine the best type of coal to use, and an analysis of the coal seams in the mine to produce that particular type of coal go hand in hand. Preparation of coal bas made great advances in the past ten years, and will have to continue its progress as the customer demands more energy ' Sherman, Ralph A., Transiution.r, Coal Dioi.sion., Amerieao Institute of Mil)ing itnd Metallurgical Engineers, 1934- content per ton of coal. The con tinued development o f the economical utilization of coal in la rge as well as in sm aU installations will have to cont inue. The result of all these developmen ts may be to decrease consumption, but a small decrease is better t han a complete displacement of many important uses for coal by t he competitive fuels. Research Developmt:nts Processes are at present available for the production of gasoline and f ucl oil from coal, but a t such a cost as to be prohibitive at present price levels for these fuels. It a ppea rs likely t hat the oil reserves of this country a re sufficient for a considerably longer period than twenty years. E stimates of oil reserves cannot take into account with any accuracy the amount of undiscovered oil deposits in the country, the amounts of oil that might be profitably recovered from existing £elds by new processes of extraction, and the rate and direction of the advance i.n oil technology in the next twenty years. The generation of oil from coal is not likely to play any part in the coal industry for a considerable time. Research in coal will be most profitably directed in the future toward the use of coal as a source of heat and power. The use of coal as a source of chemicals, such as ammonia and methanol, could account for only a small prop_ortion of the total coal production at the present stage of demand from the chemical industries. Coal as a raw fuel is manifestly uneconomic, since only a small percentage of the energy in the raw coal is converted into useful work. Research is at present under way both in this country and abroad on methods of converting raw coal into liquid or highly pulverized forms suitable for use in direct competitioo•with �The Futur e of the <:_Bituminous (oaf In.d ustry fuel oil from a standpoint of convenience and simplicit y in use. l 11ternal Condition, Any program of aggressive marketing, widespread research, or intelligent mining and prepa ration work in the coal industry, will require a more stable and p rofitable industry than exists a t present. T he p resent is not, howc,·er, an unusual stage in the history of t he coal industry in this country. ~J!en long experienced in the coal industry have often expressed the view that the coal ind ustry has only been p rofitable .,,,hen externaJ , artificial factors entered in to t he demand or supply situation. U nder this heading are listed labor disputes, either here or abroad, ra ilroad ca r s ho rtages, and war demands. There has always been a more t ha n adequate supply of coal, and overcapacity has been a factor in the industry even prior to this century. As long as demand was increasing, however, the effect of this overcapacity was not as severe as at present, when demand is stationary or falling. It is evident from the NRA figures quoted previously that no large margin of profit exists for the industry as a whole. Yet large-scale reduction of operating costs is not feasible. Overhead charges are likely to increase rather than to decrease with the continued emphasis on mechanization-and preparation. Labor efficiency may be improved but some additional equipment would be required to aid in this development. This emphasis on mecnanization gives rise to a situation in which the mechanized mine can produce coal at less cost per ton, but only when operations can be carried on in some continuous and regular fashion. This regularity of operation is difficult to obtain in the coal industry, with the 335 intense price competition among different producing regions and among concerns in the same region. Labor costs, although 65% of the cost of coal at the mine, are certainly not a place for reduction when, under present conditions of irregular operation and the oversupply of miners, the annual wage per worker is not sufficient to provide a minimum standard of existence. Although the wage rate may appear high in the coal industry, the situation is quite like that of the construction industry, in that work is provided for only part of the year in periods of two or three days at a time. To provide anything approaching an adequate income to the worker under these conditions, a high daily or tonnage rate is necessary. :M ore regularity of work would alter this situation, of course. A larger a1inual income for the worker should be the goal, through higher wage rates or equalized production spread over the year among fewer mines to provide regular operation. Reduction in royalties is not likely in view of the large number of individual contracts that would have to be reopened, and the difficulties in reaching new agreements. Taxes, especially those on coal reserves, are a major problem for those concerns.with large undeveloped coal lands. Adjustment of these rates is also difficult as much of the income of the various local government agencies in the coal regions, such as school boards, is derived from this source, and alternate sources are lacking if mining is the major industry of the region. One fertile field for the reduction of cost lies in the area of safety. Reference to the NRA figures given in Table II, page 329, will show that the weighted average of compensation costs for the industry was recently �, Harvard c.Busz'ness 'R..f..,vz'ew 4.9 cents a ton, with a range from 3.12 cents to 8.6 cents among the districts. This amount in itself may not seem significant, but in comparison with an average margin of 2.7 cents a ton it assumes larger proportions. Plainly stated, compensation costs for the industry as a whole are almost twice the profit per ton of coal produced. This item is assuming increasing im- sive mine managements. There are other places for economy, but many of these require large expenditures which the coal industry is unable to make under present conditions. Political measures for the aid of the coal industry's ills have not been considered, since much of the discussion regarding such proposals is conditioned TABLE IV ColtPAlllSON OP ACCIDENTS AND COMPENSATION CosTS I930 Tons Mined Total Cost of All Accidents Cost per Ton I93I r932 1933 1934 764,580 722,490 616,811 532,702 617, 7~6 $61,570.48 $11,727.33 $12, 307.63 $3,868.37 $4, 815 .87 0.081 0.016 0.019 0.007 0.007 portance for an industry that has now to think in cents per ton instead of dollars per ton, as was once the custom. . The experience of one large coal mining company in western Pennsylvania in reducing compensation cost is given in 'Table IV. In the reduction of compensation cost from 8.1 cents a ton in 1930 to 0.7 cents a ton in 1934, this company has established the fact that such costs are capable of great reductions, and that such savings appear in the profit column, since the cost of accident prevention is usually small. Here is a source of cost reduction that will be utilized more often in the future as .the industry becomes more conscious of the radical change fr~m dollars per ton· margins to cents per ton margins. This is given as one example of efficiency that could be utilized by aggres- by one's own ideas as to t he relations possible between government and industry, politics, and economics. It is important, however, that any such measures face the existing problems in a realistic manner, and that they should be discussed on that basis. Any measures taken, whether by operators, miners, or the government, must face the real fact that coal is now a competitive fuel. It roust meet in the market the competition of natural gas and fuel oil. A program for the industry which neglects this fundamental fact is doomed to failure. Couple this external situation with the internal situation of excess capacity, severe competition among companies and regions, and an operating loss for the industry generally, and we have placed the problem of the coal industry in a realistic perspective. �-- No. 10 -------OMAHA, NEBRASKA 7/u BUllElln BORR.D Bright Season Ahead For f=scori:ed Tours • In SCIENCE AND MECHANICS April issue, there is o feature article by Stanley A.

Pollock, Manager of the Depa rtment of Tours of the Chicago & Nor th Western- Union Pacific. • If your patrons are to be shortvisit tourists in Salt Lake, it is suggested that they take advantage of the Gray Line Motor Tours to see romantic and historic points of the city. Many popular tours hove been scheduled for between train visitors because of the expected heavy weste rn tTavel this year. Mr. Pollock bases his prediction not only on the natural desire of Americans to see the scenic wonderlands of the West, but also on the fact that all the tours operated by the North Western-Union Pacific ore, by actual comparison, lower in price than those of 1938. Then, too, t~ere's the Golden Gote International Expasition at Son Francisco. For this outstonding event the Deportment of Tours hos added a special series of tours.

The number of mines reporting was 233, average number of days worked in the four months was 69.2, and the average number of/ / men employed "9.688. The Spanish government has decided that in or• der to control the national production to nationalize all lhe collieries and allied interests in the Republican portion of Spain. Coal deposits on the Faroe Islands that are expected one day to be of great importance to Denmark and her colonies (reliable estimates fixing them at 100 million tons} are to be opened up and a port of shipment is now being laid out. Russian anthracite coal from the Donetz Basin entered the United States in 1936 lo the extent of 4-03,193 tons through New England ports.

Union Pacific New Streamlined Stea m Locomotive Pictured below is the Union Pacific Railroad's first all-streamlined steam locomotive and one of three different types of experimental streamlined steam-powered locomotives. No. 2906 is n ot just a regular steam locomotive with a streamlined jacket, but is an engine which has been entirely redesigned for high speed service. Its operating speed with a normal train will be approximately 100 miles per hour, although the 2906 has already run at speeds in excess of this. No. 2906 is painted similar to the distinctive color scheme used on the Streamliners: leaf brown, Armour y ellow, scarlet and gold striping and with bright metal chromium plated trimmings. On account of speeds at which this locomotive will operate, the conventional plain bearings have been replaced with roller bearings. The main rods and side rods are made of a special hi gh strength steel and fitted with roller bearings. The Donetz Basin of Russia holds the large5t coal reserves of Europe estimated at 68,167,000,- r-: 000 tons, 39 billion ton-, , of which is anthracite, A '· U.S. Department of Com• merce bulletin gave out r. the information that in (!, . 1930 the total Russian coal reserves of all types were estimated at 471,673,000,000 tons, the largest portion of which were said to be in Siberia.

While riding through the state of Indiana re. cently, the home of James Whitcomb Riley, who wrote much old-fashioned poetry, we picked up a local newspaper, finding therein the poem repro• duced below. This verse, which carries little of real poesy, will prove interesting to many of our reade rs, representing, as it does, a fine example of frontier Ii terary balladry. That we who live in a more sophisticated age still like to read and hear old-time ballads, however primitive, is born out by the fact that a continuous stream of selections of this character, in• eluding "The Lonesome Cowboy," "Home on the Range, "The End of the Trail", etc., are yet looked for and listened to. As a matter of fact, all "Charlotties" are beautiful, hut we doubt very much whether this "gal" who "Jived on a mountain top in a bleak and lonely spot'', ever attempted to accompany her swain on a fifteen-mile drive on a fearsome night, protected by a silken cloak and scarf. As an example of high pressure sentiment and tragedy, the story of Charlottie and her Charles is worth while. W ITH FROZEN GIRL Charlottie 1ived on a mountain top in a bleak and lonely spot, There were no other dwellings there except her father's cot; And yet, on many a wintry night, young swains were gathered there; Her father kept a social board and she was very fair. On a New Year's eve, as the sun went down, far looked her wishful eye Out from the frosty window pane a merry sleigh dashed by. At a village fifteen miles away was to be a hall that night, And though the air was piercing cold her heart was warm and Jight. How brightly gleamed her laughing eye, as a wellknown voice she heard, And. dashing up to the cottage door her lover's sleigh appeared. "Oh, daughter, dear," her mother cried, "This hlan. k!lt 'round you fold; Tonight is a dreadful one, you'll catch your death of cold." "Oh, nay, oh, nay!" Charlot tie cried, as she laughed like a gypsy queen, 305 ,t ''To ride in blankets muffled I never would be seen; My silken cloak is quite enough, you know 'tis lined throughout, And there's my silken scarf to twine my head and neck about." Her bonnet and her gloves were on, she leaped into the sleigh, And swiftly they sped down the mountain side and o'er the hills away. With muffled beat so silently five miles at length were passed, When Charles with few and shivering words the silence broke at last: "Such a dreadful night I never saw, the reins can scarcely hold"; Charlottie faintly then replied, "l am exceeding cold." He cracked his whip, he urged his steed much faster than before; And thus five other weary miles in silence were passed o'er. Said Charles: "How fast the shivering ice is gathering on my brow." And Charlottie then more faintly cried, "I'm grow. warmer now." mg Thus on they rode through frosty air and tl1e glit• tering cold star-light, Until at last the village lamps and the ballroom came in sight. They reached the door and Charles sprang out; he reached his hand to her, "Why sit you there like a monument that has no power to stir?" He called her once, he called her twice, she answered not a word; He asked her for her hand again, but still she never stirred. He took her hand in his-'twa.s cold and hard as any stone; He tore the mantle from her face, the cold stars o'er it shone. Then quickly to the lighted hall her lifeless form he bore: Charlottie's eyes had closed for aye, her voice was heard no more. And there he sat down by her side, while bitter tears did flow, And cried, "My own, my charming bride, this you may never know." He twined his arms around her neck, he kissed her -, marble brow; His thoughts flew hack to where she said, "I'm growing warmer now." -Author Unknown. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

PROX Circular 340 BITS LIFETIME GUARANTEE Every Prox cutter chain is guaranteed for life against breaking and any broken part will be replaced without time limit. Invincible ToolSteel Chain HOW IT WORKS Quick and reliable operation is apparent from the design. The circular back of the ToolSteel bit is perfectly embraced by the tool post, with its flat front face wedgelocked against an inclined surface ahead. The Mac-It screw "steps on the toe" of the toolpost forcibly, and working forces simply help tighten up this wedgelock, yet bit may be changed quickly. Once locked, neither the bit or toolpost can lose out, nor can the bit be improperly set, insuring absolutely uniform bit gauge. The toolpost may be removed by turning the screw several times, no "bite" of screw being required to keep it in, insuring positive locking action without back straining effort. The invaluable feature of compactness is retained in the Invincible-ToolSteel chain. It was not necessary to make it a lot larger to make it stronger. There is no massive or overhanging link or bit holder structure, consequently drag, leverage, and cutterbar and machine upkeep is reduced. The toolpost is squarely behind the ToolSteel bit and is cut to fit the circular back of the bit, so that under extremely abrasive conditions the toolpost is capable of wearing down to a stub without losing bits. �, STR ONGEST HARDEST BIT This ToolSteel bit is formed with a full circular back edge-the strongest possible design-not sawed straight line with slender angle. It is made by a new patented multiple forging process, of fine alloy tool steel, then scientifically hardened in modern controlled heat treating furnaces to an extreme hardness closely approximating that of High Speed (tungsten) steel and possesses high shock resistance. It is an ideal cutting tool for mining machine service. The Invincible ToolSteel Chain NO BIT IS CHEAPER When all costs are considered, along with savings and advantages obtained with ToolSteel bits no other bit is cheaper to use. The ToolSteel bit gives you saving in power, increased tonnage, decreased machine upkeep, and gets the job done on time. E ach of these ToolSteel points cuts at least as much as a hard tipped ordinary mine bit, and many times as much as usual treated mine bits. At small added cost the ToolSteel bits can be supplied from factory tipped with Borium or Hastellite, and some mines also tip them. NO BIT IS QUICKER ToolSteel bits are quicker and easier to set than usual mine bits. There is only one holder, no hard "bite" of the screw is required, and no time is lost in gauging. Yet all bits are as evenly gauged in the chain as teeth on a saw, and they can't lose out. It is only natural that upkeep costs for mining machines using this chain and bit should be much less. DEPENDABLE SER VICE Every part is drop forged-no castings used. The nickel-chrome-molybdenum steel used in these chains is a very fine alloy specification also used in aircraft engines. That is why Invincible chains with ToolSteel bits have set such new high records as 700,000 tons in IIlinois hard cutting conditions, and raised a former average of 16 places to a new average of 28 places cut per 7 hour shift, with a high record of 36. STANDS THE PUNISHMENT ToolSteel Bit Actual Size Any chain will do if the cutting is easy, but the Invincible chain shows its superiority in the meanest cutting conditions a mining machine is ever required to meet. The patented Interlocked and triple-riveted design is a feature afforded on no other chain. Of course the bits will not cut sulphur balls -no steel will do it. But this chain and bit will stand the racket, get the work done, and give a good account of itself. It is a fact that the ToolSteel bit and its holder protect the chain against coring so that the chain life in extreme hard cutting is often doubled. The Interlocks act as little rakes to bring out the cuttings and leave a clean kerf. �' TIME PROVE N A good many ideas about bits and holders have exploded against an unseen sulphur ballthe requirements are extremely trying. The Invincible-ToolSteel chain and bit meets all these requirements and has four years of fully proven highly satisfactory experience to its credit in a great many mines. You are not asked to experiment-the advantages this equipment offers you went through several years testing and changing prior t o placing it on the market four years ago. PROX CHAINS AND BITS ARE MADE IN THIS MODERN SPECIALLY EQUIPP ED PLANT ON THE BANKS OF THE WABASH RIVER , • EXTRE M E SIMPLICITY AND CONVENIENCE You can use the Invincible-ToolSteel chain and bits on your mining machine wit hout changing the usual sprocket or cutterbar in any · way-nothing special is required. Th'e single bit holder has a one inch round shank, it is drop forged and completely machined. Seated against its front face, and protecting it, is the ToolSteel bit. Acting on its "toe" to wedgelock the bit is a ¼" Mac-It screw. No hard pressure of the screw is needed, for working force on the bit simply tries to tighten this wedgelock. Cores coming between bits are bumped off by the slanting sides of the holder before injury can be done, and the holder head may be worn half way to the chain block without losing bits. The bits are aiways easy and quick to change, and holder cannot lose out because of the screw down upon its toe. THE F ULL SOLUTION The ToolSteel bits arrive at your mine in sealed steel convenient containers of 500, and they completely supplant your old bit program. No more forges, sharpening machines, hard facing equipments, or collecting or distributing of bits through the mine. This container of bits represents your entire cost for the cutting obtainable with 1000 scientifically hardened alloy tool steel cutting points each exactly uniform in hardness, toughness, shape, clearance, gauge and cutting power-things you could never obtain with your old bit program. - YO U CAN'T LOSE If you contact us next time you need a cutter chain, we will be glad t_o ~end you ~omplete information, if you will mention the type and length undercut. of your mmmg ffl:achmes.

Balance is essential between the various machines making up a mechanical mining uni to If your loader can put out 400 to 700 tons in a shift and your· cutter can provide only 300 to 400 tons ... the result invariably is a reduction in possible output per man and higher cost.

A Growing Menace in Factory, Mine, Home and Garage Many hundreds of lives are lost annually in the various industries and in the home from gas asphyxiation, smoke suffocation or from respiratory failures due to other causes. Many more are only partially overcome but are subjected to doubtful and often dangerous treatments, due to the lack of proper knowledge and facilities for handling such cases. Carbon Monoxide is one of the chief health hazards around blast furnaces and Fresno (Cal.) Fire Dept. in mines in case of fire or explosion. Givini:thevictimeverypossiblccbance Every stove in a dwelling house is a ' potential hazard. It is one of the dangers every city fireman faces . . Men who work in garages are almost daily subjected to partial poisoning by carbon monoxide. To meet the constantly growing demand for more knowledge on the subject of Asphyxia, a commission, formed at the request of the American Gas Association, began investigations to determine the best means of treating individuals overcome by gas, smoke, fumes, etc. THE COMMISSION REPORTED: MECHANICAL DEVICES OFFER NOTHING that Manual Respiration can not offer, and strongly recommends that the prone method be employed. INHALATION TREATMENT APPROVED-consisting of the inhalation of a mixture of oxygen and carbon dioxide, which causes a rapid ventilation of the lungs, quickly removing toxic gases from the blood. H-H INHALATOR EXAMINED AND APPROVED for the administering of the inhalation treatment. C.lia.ll'Lber ofCo.n,.merce .B/lig. • .P.ins..burg.h, Pennsy/vanza �No. 801 _;n;;,e uafety App/lances Co. PAGE 3 The Principle of the Inhalation Treatment A victim of gas asphyxiation, smoke suffocation, etc., who is still breathing, is for the time deprived of the power to transport sufficient oxygen from the air thru the lungs to the blood. Theoretically, oxygen inhalation is the obvious method for overcoming the asphyxia. Practically how• ever, the inhalation of oxygen alone does not fulfill its theoretical promise. An auxiliary agent is needed. The breathing of a normal man or animal, as is now well known, is largely regulated by the carbonic acid gas (CO,) produced in the muscles and organs and carried by the blood to the respiratory center in the brain. Carbonic acid is the natural stimulus to this center and thus regulates normal breathing. The supplying of enough carbonic acid gas mixed with oxygen has been found to serve as an immediate stimulus to spontaneous breathing by the patient, thus drawing oxygen in and washing the poisonous gases out of the tissues. Carbogen is the trade name of the correct mixture of oxygen and carbon dioxide to produce normal stimulation and the maximum absorption of O"")'gen. The H-H Inhalator is a d evice • for administering Carbogen to the patient. When respiration has stopped, artificial respiration by th e manual prone pressure method should be employed to start spo n• taneous breathing. This effort should be assisted by administering Carbogen simultaneously from the H-H Inhalator. Carbogen, by causing full ventilation of the lungs, rapidly eliminates poisonous gas from the blood and thus terminates the co ndition of asphy,da. The treatment is highly effective, inducing ra pid an d com• plete recovery if applied early enough.

Deer Mr. Segrave; Your letter of Ju11e 21st at hand. Wish to state in re~l;; th[tt ns you said in your letter, newspapers u:sua.11.y tell of the ~·,ork of the pullmotor i11 gas disasters, but ,for ;rour information the kin'ti of oxygen machines that ,·,ere used at the time were the H~H Inhalator. We succeeded in completely restoring the lives of ·two men wr. o were taken out of the Power Plant apparently dead by the Prone Pressure metPod of resuscitation in connection with the lnhalator. Regarding the details of the die aster, I can say no1;h ing more than the exue.ssi ve gas pressure vh ich was thrown into the lines b r oke thru the water seal and gas escaped i1Jto a basement room in which two electricians were at work. The gas fumes were so dense that the remaining six men v.ho we re partially over come were those who rusbe d into the building for rescue \.Ork. The two men that were restored to life by resuscitation am the lnhalator were placed in a hospital on Sunday and one was dismissed on Tuesday and the other on Wednesday and are now back at work. The remaining ,,.,ho were partially overcome by gas lost no time with the exception of one man who lost a cou:ple o-f days which was due to stomach disorders. I need not state that the li-H Inhalator measures up to all that is claimed for there is no better recoIIlllendation can be given than the fact that I have placed an order for another Inhalator which we expect to use and along with the two that we alreadY have ivill be used exclusively for rese=ue warle.

The Inhalator has been borrowed by various hospitals on cases which have nothing to do with gas asphyxiation° The police departments of l?awtucket and Central Falls have also called for the Inhalator on various cases of electrical shocks, drownings, etc. During the past year we have had several calls for the Inhalator due to attempt at suicide by gas. In all these cases the application of the Inhalator has been successful and the persons fully recovered from effects of the gas poisoningo One woman at Central Falls having been overcome for some little time before her case ·was known. One call of some little interest was made at Woonsocket where three men had been confined in a gas filled bedroom for many hours. The initial use of the Inhalator prolonged the lives of the victims as they lived two days after being resuscitated, but due to other symptoms outside of the gas it was impossible for the men to live . . We have also had many small cases where the patient was only partly overcome by gas and the Inhalator hastened their recovery and prevented a great d~al of the after sickness. We have also used the Inhalator in demonstrating first aid at public exhibitions.

Mr. George B.

On hearing a report similar to a heavy bottom shot they stopped work. In a few seconds the air became hazy and Johns knew something serious had happened. He and his buddy decided to take the motor which was standing nearby and run out to the main heading whioh was the main haulage on the intake. They had only gone a short distance when the motor ran onto a fall. By that time Johns and Beltti were groggy and Johns having his Self-Rescuer with him put it on and started with his buddy to walk. They had only gone a short distance when Beltti was overcome and Johns went on alone. On reaching the main heading be met William Harper who was bringing a trip from the outside and be told Harper where Beltti had fallen some distance in the 7th left heading. Harper took the Self-Rescuer from Johns (the main heading and haulage ventilation not being damaged) and went back into the 7th left, with the motor 1 located Beltti and brought him outside unconscious, although later he came around in good shape. Raymond Johns was one of the few who believed in carrying the Self-Rescuer or, •tin can", as some of the miners named it, and he said that had it not been for the Rescuer he would have lost his life. Beltti also owes his life to the fact that Johns carried the Self-Rescuer. The bulletin attached shows several methods of installation. If you will be kind enough to fill in and mail the enclosed card to us, one of our representatives will gladly arrange a demonstration for you at your mine in actual carbon monoxide gas - of course without any obligation whatsoever. very truly, PLIANCES COMPANY, I, ,.,,_f!M -...... , .....1....__ BBl'.:LB B.

There's a feeling of security wearing a Hard Boiled Hat, and this tends to raise the morale of the wearer. Hard Boiled Hats weigh only 7 ounces, so the men are equally strong for them from a convenience angle. In commenting on the experiences of his mine safety department, Mr. W. D. Brennan makes the statement at the Fourth Annual Convention of Practical Operating Men under auspices of the American Mining Congress, held at Cincinnati, Ohio, from May 16th to 20th, 1927, that: "Hard Boiled Caps are one of the safety precautions used by the under-ground workers on the properties under Mr. Brennan's direction, and Coal Age for May 26th, 1927, reports him to say that 'Now the Company (Phelps-Dodge Corporation) is insisting on the use of Hard Boiled Caps in the coal mines. Where they have been installed in one of the metal mines of the same Company they have practically prevented the occurrence of head accidents from the falling of _rock. They have unquestionably saved several lives during the present year.'" Two Styles 1. Special processed fiber, water and acid froof, non-conductor o electricity, blow resisting. 2. Air space, allowing free circulation of air. 3. Ventilating holes. 4. Lining adjusting cord, adjustable to fit head comfortably. 5. "Hammocking" effect of lining distributes blow equally. 6.
