FOREWORD
THIS MANUAL bas been prepared for the primary
purpose of accurately informing professional employees, especially professional engineering employees, on matters pertaining to Collective Bargaining
under the National Labor Relations Act (Wagner
Act) as it now stands on our statute books.
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.

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

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

and grievances of organized shop employees and th

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&lt;,
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.

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.

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·

hours without loss of time or pay.Ii
(3) By discrimination in regard to hire or tenure of

collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection. Other specific labor practices prohibited by the
Board will be considered in later chapters.

5. 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.

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

Jsmissal may be made to the National Board. If it

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,

which, if supported by evidence, are conclusive [Sec.'
10(e)]. 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

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

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

l
and th •

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 &amp; 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&lt;:
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 Determination of Employee
Representatives
A number of situations make it necessary for the
Board to ascertain the representatives of employees
in a given bargaining unit. 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;&gt; 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

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~

Chapter II

WHAT THE PROFESSIONAL SOCIETIES HAVE DONE
AND ARE DOING
}&gt;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

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. Membership in the "group"
~ not confined to engineers who are employees of a

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

The American Society of ClVll Engineers is parti 'patina in and supporting the work of the Com&lt;:1ttee 0~ the Economic Status of the Engineer of

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 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."

To assist members who form their own organizations to

To serve as mediators in disputes involving members

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.

(4) that it would "bend every effort to maintain for
all its members the 'right to work' and the 'right to
employment and promotion' on the basis of worth
and merit".
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. .

these discussions. 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

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

�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.

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..-&lt;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.

PROFESSI ONAL EMPLOYEES' PROPOSALS
PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYEES' PROPOSALS
Among the amendments proposed are those that
would modify Section g(b) of the Ac~, which r:l~tes
to the dcte..."llllnation of an appropriate bargauung
unit. 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.
Shoul~ this course of action be acceptable to
Co~~ess, it would place professional employees in a

In June 1945 the membership of the FAA reached
a peak of 3!!,357. The gains of about 21,000
members during the year were offset by iosscs of
a little over 16,000, so that the net gain was
slightly less than 5,000 mcmben. Almost 60 chapters were dropped during the year. These losses
were due chic8y to cutbaw after VE-day and

the policies of the Act could be better effectuated by
ranting rather than by denying the right of certifica~on to foremen. 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

th,ir duties and responsibilities arc entitled to the protect.ion of the Act through the medium of indcpende_nt,
unaffiliated organizations, and in the B. F. Goodrich
Company case (8-R-1874, 65 NLRB No. 58, Jan~ary

of America (District 50), the majority of the Board
decfared that it did not have the power to limit the
choice of foremen with respect to a collective bargaining representative to an independent, una.lliliatcd
foremen's labor union, inasmuch as the Act guarantees
to all employees (including foremen) the right to bargain collectively "through representatives of their own
choosing''. Therefore, it refused to dismss a petition
"for a supervisor's unit filed by an aBiliate of th.c labor
organization which repl'C$ented the same company's
rank and file employees".
In the Matter of California Packing Corporation
( 19-R-1558, 66 NLRB No. 180, April 3, 1946) the
majority of the Board stated that it could not "refuse
to entertain a petition filed by a supervisory auxiliary
of the local union which represents the Company's nonsupervisory employees. . . ." Accordingly, it declared
that all general foremen, department foremen, and
assistant foremen in the establishment constitute an
appropriate bargaining unit.

Chapter IV

COURSES OF ACTION WHICH PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYEES HAVE
TAKEN UNDER TIIB N.L.R.A.

l
I

UP TO THE END OF 1946 all efforts to revise the National Labor Relations Act have been unsuccessful. 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.

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

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

the propriety of the um't"•2

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

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 &lt;::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

Chapter V
TYPES OF COLLECTIVE BARGAINING ORGANIZATIONS
OPEN TO PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYEES
PROFESSIONAL E M PLOYEES who have come to the conclusion that some form of organized representation is
necessary are confronted with three questions. 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.

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

•
and professional employees.

3.

~ organizat!o~ of professional and sub-prof .

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.

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

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,

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

?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:

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&amp;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

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''.&amp; 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

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.

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

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

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

di~ of the scholastic (or equivalent) history of inVJ. ~l employees rather than on the basis of their

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

• " •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

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. In this connection ~e

It is understood, of course, that both the proposed bargaining unit and ~e sup~orting state?1ent
should be submitted for consideration and modification or approval first by the Provisional Commit~ee,
and later the full membership of the new organization. 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.

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&gt;.-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

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

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.

with the procedure followed by the Board in h~dling
representation cases. 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

Appendix A
NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS ACT
(49 Stat. 449)
D!PINfflONS

AN ACT
To diminish the causes of labor disputes burdening or obstructing interstate and foreign commerce to create a
National Labor Relations Board, and for oilier purposes.
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

This machine is of the percussi\'e type and consists of five essential parts, yiz. : 1. COLUMN.- The suppolting column is of !'-imple and : ubsfantial construction . The
length, when the screw is home, should be G in. less than the hf' ight of the earn in \\·hich
the machine is to be used. The weight Yarie:- according to len~h (a 4 ft. column weighs
120 lb,).
•

2. SEGMEN_T.-This is made in two types-the JD. and the shearing pattern. The JD.
patt~m illustrated on pages 10, 12, 26 and 28 is for holing only, and the machine cuts

3. DRILL.- The air drill is of special construction, particularly suited f_or coal cutting. It
is provided with a safety arrangement, which pre~ents _bre~k~ges m_ the even! of the
cutting bit not striking the coal or other matenal m wluch 1t 1s cutting or bormg.
The weight of the standard size of drill is 264 lb.
4. EXTENSION RODS.-Five rods, 20 in., 40 in., 60 in., 80 in. and 100 in._ long respec~h·ely
are used. The weight of a set is 115 lb. .These arc made of steel with symm~tncally
conically turned ends. One _end fits the dnll clmcl~ and the other the c_uttm_g bit. The
conical ends ensure good gnps,. and at the same time can be very easily disconnected.
To remove the e&gt;.."i:ension rod from the drill chuck, use is made of a steel drift fitting
into a slot in the drill chuck.
5. CUTTING BITS.-Weight, 5 lb. These are of 3 in. diameter, anUd adre made _of toodil-:~eel.
They are usually provided with five cutting prongs or edges.
n er certam con uons
.
.
.
it may be advisable to use bits with three or seven prongs.
To disconnect the cutting bit from the extension rod the latter 1s held 1_n an upnght
position, allowing the teeth of the bit to rest on the floor, and a sm_ar:t blow with a ha~~r
is deli\'ered on the shoulder of the cutting bit. Thro~1gl~ stoking these blows it 1s
evident that the extension rod will become dented, and 1t 1s ne~essal)'. that the dented
end of the extension rod should always be used for tI:ie cutting bit, w~lst the other ~nd
should always be inserted in the drill chuck.. To _a\'Old undue ham11;enng of_ the cuttmg
bits it is recommended to use separate cuttmg bits for each extension rod • they need
then be removed only for sharpening purposes.

ACTION OF VALVE

"§I

D D

HE diagrams on page 6 show the respectiv~ posi~ions of the piston_ and piston valve at the
moment of reversing. The compressed air which enters the cylmder d through ports_a
1
and c, drives the piston forward (as shown in section 1) or causes it to return (as shown :1
section 2). The piston valve is held in the position shown by_ means of the compressed air
which passes through the port a 1 into the annular chamber g1 , simult~neously the c?mpressed
air passes through the ports a and e into the chamber J. The surface sub1ected to the air-pr~sure
in chamber J is, however, smaller than the one in the annular chamber g1, _so that the piston
valve must remain stationary until the piston passes and opens the reversing port Ii :. \Vhen
this takes place the compressed air rushes from the ?ylinder d throu~h the ports 1z _and ~-m~o.,.tl~e
ann Iar space g, thus counteracting the pressure m g1, and the ~ir. pressure still existm_, m
11
chamber J causes the piston valve to reverse. The c?mpressed air. m f1 escapes through the
ports e l and b ; and then, together with the exhaust :ur from !he cyl~nder, th~ough the exhaust
cap k into the open, The exhaust cap k is s_o desi~ne~ that 1t admits of bemg revolved, thus
enabling the exhaust air to be given any desired direct10n.

TEN HEADINGS IN A SHIFT.
HE " SISKOL " holds the wor~d's record for the grea~est number of h~ading~ cut in one
shift, i.e., ten places, averaging 10 ft. by 5 ft., which was accomplished in a 9-hour
shift at Mainsforth Colliery, Ferryhill, Co. Durham.
ThlS work was done with the assistance of a carriage fitted to the machine (see illustration
opposite). The machine was run up to the face of the heading and two chocks were placed
underneath the carriage in order to lift the wheels off the floor. The column was then fastened,
and when the cut was finished the column was slackened, the chocks removed from underneath
the carriage, and the machine was then :eady to be :nn into t~e n_cxt ? e~ding without any of
the parts having to be detached. In this way the time occupied in fhtting was reduced to a
minimum.
This carriage is a simple contrivance, can be fitted to any machine and, of course, can be
arranged to suit any gauge of rails.
The best work of a competitive machl?e, handled_b)'. the maker~' experts and '".orking under
precisely similar conditions, was the cutting of five similar places in an 8-hour shift.

T

The certificate given by the Manager of the Colliery at the time is as follows :DEAR SIRS,

RECORD SPEED FOR SINGLE HEADING.
j\T the Barlborough No. 2 Pit, belonging to Messrs. The Staveley Coal &amp; Iron Co., Ltd., one
f i "SISKOL" Coal-Cutter drove a heading 12 ft. wide in the Top Hard Seam, 4 ft. 3 ins.
thick, a distance of 66 yards in one week. The previous rate of progress by hand was
12 to 15 yards per week.
Many Colliery Managers are inclined to be dubious about this performance, but the following
particulars as to how the work was done may possibly remove such misgivings. •
It was desired to get a single heading through a pillar of coal with the utmost possible speed.
The size of coal obtained was immaterial, speed being the one essential. The seam was 4 ft.
3 ins. thick and the heading 12 ft. wide. A time table was drawn up as follows :6 to 7
Cutting.
8.40 to, 9.40 Cutting.
11.20 to 12.20 Cutting.
7 to 7.10 Shot-firing.
9.40 to 9.50 Shot-firing.
12.20 to 12.30 Shot-firing.
7.10 to 8.40 Filling.
9.50 to 11.20 Filling.
12.30 to 2

Work was carried on 3 shifts in 24 hours and the same schedule adhered to during the shifts

commencing 2 p.m. and 10 p.m.
The men engaged on the work at the face were a machine operator and his assistant, a ccllier
and two fillers. A small branch from the main air pipe enabled a filkr to bore the shot holes
whilst the Coal-Cutter was in operation, the collier and the other filler setting the necessary
timber ·and keeping .the rails up to the face. Two sets of rails were maintained. The fillers
had nothing to do but fill, an~ there was no wa.it~ng for_ tubs. If more than the _allotted time
were occupied in filling-say 1t took 1 hour 40 mmu!es mst~ad _of the schedule time of 1 ~our
30 minutes- IO minutes was taken off the next cuttmg penod m order to adhere to the timetable. Vlhilst the coal was being filled the ma.chine men were keeping the pipe range in order.
No ripping was done until the road was through the pillar.

The following certificate was given by the Manager of the Colliery:" I personally checked these times and measurements, and certify the same to be correct."
The above work was done in Bord and Pillar, and must not be confuse~ with ct_hcr per~ormanc~s _donl' on a
longwall , where it is possible to move a machine intact along the _face without d1sm'.'nthnr. This )S some 50
per cent. better than that achieved by any other Coal-Cutter working fr om a column m Bord and Pillar work.

SHEARING ON A LONGWALL FACE.

T

HE illustration on the opposite page sh0\V$ the "SISKOL"
fixed for shearing or nicking.

In seams where longwall machines are used a " SISKOL " with
a shearing segment is very useful in making vertical cuts at regc1la_r
distances along the face in order to reduce the number of shots
required, at the same time facilitating the getting of the coal and
increasing the percentage of large coal.
To change from vertical to horizontal cutting, or in fact to any
angle, it is only necessary to slacken the nut fastening the segment
(shearing type) in the cone of the sleeve or clamp which is attached to
the column.

HE "SISKOL" Coal-Cutter was tried recently for heading work in a seam
7 ft. thick, lying at a depth of about J,000 yards.

It was found that, when "holing" in the bottom, the coal would not stan~
When a depth of about 2 ft. had been reached, the coal began to sag, and it

was impossible to continue the cut.
The following method was then adopted with great success :~
.
The machine was set at the side of. the heading for vertical ~~t~m~, :
shearing. After shearing to a depth of a~out 2 ft. the :~al b~tg;:rtsta~~~g in
it did when being undercut, so the machme was stopp ~t rted to make
position. The 2 ft. of coal was then filled out_andd tthe meas:~:\~:s ~achine being

simply to tum the air on. Three shears, eac 2 • e '

STABLE HOLES FOR LONGWALL MACHINES.

\ l 7HEN working Longwall it is usually an advantage-in fact,
VV almost an essential-to keep the ends of the face in advance
of the centre.
When a Longwall machine is used and the stable holes for the
machine are made by hand, it very frequently happens that the
stable has not been made wide enough. The result is that t~e
machine starts with a shallow cut, getting to its proper depth as 1t
proceeds along the face. In this way the ends of the face soon get
behind, and all Colliery Managers wi.1~ recognise the trouble that
will ensue when the face assumes this concave shape.
By using a,., SISKOL" for stable holes
the face is kept in proper shape.

THE "SISKOL" COAL-CUTTER.
HE " SISKOL" can b~ used in_ seams from 18 in~. and upwards
in thickness. The 11lustrahon on the opposite page shows
such a machine, which has been used successfully on a longwall face
in a seam less than half a yard in thickness, with extremely gratifying results. Seven to eight yards can be holed at one fixing, after
which it is an easy matter to flit the machine intact when fixed on a
sledge or plate. In this way it is possible to hole a place 30
·yards wide with four settings of the machine, and, as _only a
few minutes are needed to loosen the column, flit the machme and
reset, practically the whole of the shift can be occupied in cutting.

ROOF RIPPING WITHOUT EXPLOSIVES.
HE " SISKOL " may be used for other purposes than cutting in coal, as vid enced by the
following extracts from the Official report of H. i\'I. Inspector of Min es for th e Card iff
district :-

T

" ROOF RIPPING WITHOUT EXPLOSIVES. - At the Great Western Coll iery Co.'
Tymawr Pit thr roof on the roads in one scam i,; ripped down without the a id of explo i\·e .
The roof, which is a hard sandy fireclay, 4 ft. thick, is cut or sheared on each side of th e road by
a ' Champion ' Channelling Machine. A hole.' is bored near tlw top of the bed and a long plug
and feather is inserted and the mass is wedgt:d dmrn, the whole of the work being don e by th e
machine, thus showing that the use of explosi\·es can be a\ oided in doing such work . Besides
doing a~\'ay with the risk attendant on the use of explosi, es, Mr. Gray is strongly of opinion that
roads npped by other means stand very much better than those ripped by explosives."
. . . In his evidence bdorc the Royal Commi::;sion on Mines Mr. F. A. Gray savs, regarding shot
1
fin'. g :-" They could do thC'ir ripping entirely with the ' Champion ' Cha~nelling Machine,
whi~h _would bore the hole and drive the \\'edge in. That was done at the Great ·w estern
Colhenes now, when there was not a shot fired in the tl

TRANSVAAL STOPE-DRILL COMPETITION.

T

HIS Competition was inaugurated_ in 1908 by the Transvaal
Govern ment and Chamber of l\fmes, and was open to the
whole world. Two prizes of £4,000 and £1,000 respectively were
oficred for t :1e two most successful drills. The competiti~n was
commenced 111 March, 1909, and the official result announced on
May 28th, 1910.
The photograph opposite illustrates the " SISKOL " Drill
u,ncler _t est a t the Surface Elimination Trials held at Johannesburg
1 ~cl~mcal College in March, 1909, when it created a record by
clnllmg at the average rate of 4·46 inches per minute. It was
pla:ed first in order of merit for drilling speed out of the 19 machines
wluch compet ed, a number of which were eliminated forthwith on
~ccuunt of their inability tu maintain an average speed of one
inch per minute.

J anuary 29th, 1910, nine months after the start of the
Competition, when it succeeded in drilling at the rate of 4,302
inches per minute. This performance beat its own reconl (which
had stood for nine months), and was accomplished with an increase
of only 2½ per cent. in air consumption per foot drilled.
The " SIS KOL," during the Competition, held the record speed

HE minin n· interests of t he t atc of ali fo rnia ar o d iYersifieLl, and th e incln try is extenclecl over so wicle an
area, that it is diffic ult to ue cr il.Je the co nclitiou wh ic h exi ·t withou t u ·ing many pages of printed matter. For
this reason it ha. be n consiclere&lt;l p roper, in th i l amp hlet. to giyc mer ly a record of r es ults, which will show in
plain figures what is bein g a compl i bed by the min er of t, h-3 ta le. Thi record shows that some fifty-three mineral
substances are 1.J eing explo ited th e :rnnual nl natio11 of whi ch i now $55,697 949, and increasing as capital is invested
and more min es aml quarr ie ure opened. 'l'he older mine . too h::n-in g been well developed and equipped, ai·e increasing their annual output, and thus also provin g th ei r p rm anency an d valu e \\·ith depth. For the past twenty-one years
the total mineral output of aliforn ia amount to $60" 173, ~92.
'l'he clim ati c l' Oncliti ons are fayorab l • to minin g operations throughout the ' State, and means of transportation
ha,e been so improYeu as to greatly lessen costs of supp lies, etc. 'l'herc are abundant opportunities for the safe
and p'l·ofitable iuvc.st rn eut of cap ital in the va ri ous branch es of tlie industry, ?S numerous claims which have been
located haYe neYer been-properly developed or eq uipped, their own ers la ckin g the necessary means .
. The State l\[ining Bureau, maintained by State aid, provides numerous publications in the form of bulletins or
reports, giving in detail the conditions existing in gold, copper, quicksilver, petroleum, · and:au the various b~·aii6h.es
of mining. It also publishes maps of the counties which sho\l· t he location of all mines, roads; streams, etc. The
Bureau is in c:hargc of a State i\lineralogist, who has a corps of trained Field Assistants, and an office force · as:: ,vell.
There is a fine teelmical library, and a very large museum sho\\'ing specimens of all mineral products, su_itably
arranged for reference. There is also a well-equipped laboratory for the determination of minerals.
•.
•The Bureau publishes, among other things, an annual Statistical Bulletin showing by counties the ou~put and
va_l:ue of all substances mi!]-ed or quarri~d in Californi~. From 1:he latest bulletin of this character, .covering· the
calendar year 1907, figures and tables given in this pamphlet are taken, in the belief that they will give the best
idea of what the mines of the State are producing and what the miners are accomplishing.

T

�CALIFORNIA ST ATE MINING BUREAU.
Th is iustit nti on aims to be the chief source of reliable information· about the mineral resources and mining
industr i of California.
It is e1J coura 0 ·ed in its work by the fact that its publications have been in such demand that large editions are
soo n rxhaustccl. In fact, copies of them now command high prices in the market.
'l' he p ub!ica tions , as soon as issued, find their way to the scientific, public, and private libraries of all countries.

STATE MINERALOGIST.
The Cali fom ia State :i\Iining Bnrean is nuclei;_the supervision of a State Miner!llogist and Board of Trustees.
It is supported by leg islative appropriations, and in some degree performs work similar to that of the geological
8t11Tc,rs of oth er states, but its purposes and functions are mainly practical, the scientific work being clearly subordinate
to t he economic phases of the mineral field, as shown by the org!)nic law governing_the Bureau, which is as follows:

�THE BULLETINS.
The field covered by the books issued under this title is shown in t~e list of p:1blications. E a h bulletin c'.eals wi_th
only one phase of mining. Many of them are elaborately illustrated with en~ravrngs and maps.
nly a nommal price
is asked, in order that those who need them most may obtain a copy. (See list on last page. )

THE REGISTERS OF 1VIINES.
The Registers of Mines form practical1y both a State ancl a County director y of the min e of ali fornia, each
county being represented in a separate pamphlet. Those who wish to leam the essential £acts about any particular
mine are referred to them. The facts and figures are given in tabular form, and are accompanied by a topographical
map of the county on a large scale, showing location of each mineral deposit, towns, railroad • r oads, power lines,
ditches, etc.

HOME OF THE BUREAU.

The :Mining Bureau occupies the north half of the third floor of the F erry Building, in San F r ancisco. On the
same floor are the rooms of the California State Board of Trade. and an exhibition instituted by and maintained
by the Board of Trade, illustrative of agriculture, horticulture. Yiticultnre. and other industries of California. All
visitors and residents are invited to inspect the Museum, Libra~·y, and othe~ rooms of the Bureau and gain a personal
knowledge of its operations.

THE MUSEUM.

The M~eum now contains over 20,000 specimens, carefully labeled and attractiYely arranged in showcases in a
great, well-lighted hall, where they can be easily studied. The collection of ores from California mines is of course
-very extensive, and !s supplemented by many cases of characteristic ores from the principal mining districts of the
world. The educational value of the exhibit is constantly increased by substituting the best specimens obtainable
for those of less value.
These mineral collectio~s are not only interesting, beautiful, and in every way attractive to the sightsee·rs of all
classes, but are also educational. They sl1ow to manufacturers, miners, capitalists, and others the character and

THE LIBRARY.
This is the mining reforeu ce library of the State, constnntlr consulted by mrnmu- men, and co nt ain s about 5000
volumes of selected works in addition to the numerous pnblil:atious of the Bnrean ibelf. On its shelves will be found
reports on geology, mine~·alogy, minin g, etc.. published by ..tates gon .&gt; rmnent s. :m&lt;l i11 diYill11als; th e r eports of scientific societies at home and abroad ; encycloptt!dias, scieutifk papers. ancl rna gaziu i&gt;s ; minin g p nbl ieations, and the
current literature of mining eyer needed in a reference library.
1\fanufacturers' catalogues of mining and milling machinery by California firms are kept on fil e. The Registers
of Mines form an up-to-date director~· for investor and. manufodurer.

THE LABORATORY.
'l'hi department identifi es for the prospector the minerals he finds, and tells him the nature of the wall rocks
or di ke he ma? eneo nnter in his workings; but this department cloes 11 0-t do assaying nor compete with private
a sayers. 'l'h e presence of minerals is determined, but .Q.Ot the percentage present. No charges for this service are
made to any resident of t he State. Many of the inquiri es made of this department have brought capital to the
deYelopmeni of n e\\· distri cts. l\Iany technical questions have been asked and answered as to the best chemical and
mec hanical processes of handling ores and raw material. The laboratory is well equipped.
THE DRAUGHTING-ROOlVI.
In t hi room ar e prepared scores of maps, from the small ones filling only a part of a page, to the largest County
and State maps ; and the numerous illustrations, other than photographs, that are constantly being required for the
Bulletins and R egisters of Tllfines. In this roem, also, will be found a very complete collection of maps of all kinds
relating to the industries of t he State, and one of the important duties of the department is to make such additions
and cor rections as will keep the maps up to date. The seeker after information inquires here if he "'ishes to know
abo nt the geology or topography of any district"; about the locations of the new camps, or positions of old or
abandoned ones; about railroads, stage roads, and trails; or about the working drawings of anything connected
with mining.
lVIINERAL STATISTICS.
One of the f eatures of this institution is its mineral statistics. Their annual compilation by the State :Mining
Bureau began in 1894. No other state in the Union attempts so elaborate a record, expends so much labor and money
on its compilation, or secures so accurate a one.
The State Mining Bureau keeps a careful, up-to-elate, and reliable but confidential register of every producing
mine, mine-owner, and mineral industry in the State. From them are secured, under pledge of secrecy, reports of
output, etc., and all other available sources of information are used in checking, verifying, and supplementing the
information so ga ined. This ·information is published in an annual tabulated, statistical, single-sheet bulletin. showing the mineral production by both snbst,mces and counties.

In the pr evious yea r the -total product was valued at $46,776,085, so that the increase for 1907 is $8,921,864. The
most no table increases in valt1e are in petroleum, copper, asphalt, bituminous rock, cement, brick and pottery clays,
lime and lime tone, macadam and rubble. For the second time zinc appears _among the mineral products of the
tate.
The total val ue of the metalli c substances (incluiling precious metals) · for 1907 wn.s $24,896,483, which includes
gold·, ilver pyrites, qui cksilver , copper, lead, tungsten, zinc, platinum and chrome. The silver is given in commercial
value, or amount r eceived for it by the producers.
The to tal value of non-m etallic substances was $2,505,000. These substances include borax, coal, mineral waters,
alt, infusoria l ear th, gypsum, magnesite, manganese, mineral paint, fuller's earth, soda, tourmaline, and chrysoprase
and oth er gems.
The total value of the hydrocarbons· and gases was $18,029,937, an increase of $7,859,664. The hydrocarbons and
ga es in clude asplrnlt, bituminous rock; natural gas, and petroleum. The petroleum price is the average f. o. b. at
wells or stations ii1 each county. The number of barrels of oil produced was 40,311,171, valued at $16,783,9-!3, as
against 32,624,000 barrels· in 1906, valued at $9,238,020. The increase in asphalt is large for the year, it ·now being
made in the process of refining the California heavy oils·. ••
The total value of structural materials was $10,266,529, an increase of $2,407,403 from the previous year. These
mat erials include brick and pottery clays, Portland cement, lime and li~estone·, macadam, rubble and concrete rock,
•
paving blocks, marble, g1;anite, standstone, serpentine, slate, and glass-sand.
The relative value of the principal minerals of the State is as follows: First, · petroleum; second; gold; third,
copper ; fourth , clajrs and their products; fifth, cement; sixth, borax; seventh, lime and limestone.
All the asbestos produced in California in 1907 was from Placer County. Asphalt was pro·duced _in the counties
of Kern, ·Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, Alameda, San Luis Obispo, San Francisco, and Ventura. It was almost
entirely derived from the refining of petroleum·. Bituminous rock was quarried in San Luis Obispo and Santa Cruz
counties. Borax was produced in Inyo, San Bernardino, and Ventura counties. • Brick clays · were utilized in the

TOTAL GOLD PRODUCT OF CALIFORNIA-1848--1907.
.
While g~lcl i~ next to the leading mining product, according to the gold production figures of the U. S. Geolog1c~ l SnrYey its yield no longer puts the greatest gold-producing county in the first place. The copper of Shasta
County. together with its ~ther mineral products, gives it the leading place as a mineral-producing county. Gold is
more widely distributed than any other substance thus far mined in California; 35 counties out of the 58 in the
State showing a gold yield in 1907, and it i;; known to exist in several others.

° Figures for 1U06 and 1907 b)' U. S, Geologi&lt;'al Survey.

BANNER COUNTIES IN DIFFERENT lVIINERAL PRODUCTS-1907.
As far as the" banner" counties in the different mineral products are concerned. the following is the record for
1907, with the value of the material in which the county leads. It should be explaiued, ho\\'ever , that certain substances are put ~n~er th_e heading o~ "unapportionecl," which includes product of single mines, etc., in counties, sQ
as to conceal the'.r identity. For tins reason it is necessary to put under this heading borax. coal, Portland cement.
some gold and silver, and a few other substances fortnerly credited to certain counties. This causes an apparent.
( ]:! )

but not real, fallin g off in output of Alameda, Amador, Ivionterey, Inyo, Lassen, Solano, Napa, Sail.' Bernardino, Vent ura, and a f ew other counties where these " unapportioned" substances occur. If credited to the exact county, where
th ere i only a s in gle operator, private business · would be made public. Under these circumstances, the -figures of
value of output in some counties do not actually represent their relative rank in 1907, as some of the products may
be placed under ' •' unapportionecl." :Moreover, some conn ties lead in output of some substances placed in the "unapporlioned" colnmn , and these substances do not therefore appear after the name of the county, thus r~duc ing. the
•
county total.
.Alameda County leads in macadam ($461,726) • and salt ($163i127) ; Butte in gold ($2,786,840) ; Colusa in sandtone (, 7 ,259) • El Dornclo in slate ($60,000); Inyo in lead ($13,096); Kern in petroleum •($4,673,867); .Lake in
mineral waters ($130,936 ); Los Angeles in asphalt ($353,423)', brick clays ($826,831), gypsum ($50,000), and serpentine ($3,000 ) ; l\Iadera in granite ($93,372 ); Placer in asbestos ($3,500); Riverside in clay ($174,713); .San Benito
in quicksilver ($29.2,878) ; San Diego in gems ($206,336); lVIonterey in glas~-sand ($8,178); Santa Cruz in bituminous
rode ($64,707 ), and lime ($241,179); Santa Barbar~ in infusorial earth ($28,948); Shasta in copper ($5,5.68,873),
pyrites ($197,36-! ) , si lver ($370;211), and chrome ($5,200) ; Sonoma in paving blocks ($112,797) ; Stanislaus in minr ol pniut ($1,720 ) ; 'l'uolumn e in marble ($60,120). The unapportioned list includes borax, cement,- coal, tungsten, and
orne gold all d silver ; so none of these substances are considered in malting up the leading products of the individual
counties.
.
• To show the wide distribution of mineral substances in California an analysis of the statistics for 1907 proves
that gold was produced in 35 counties; asphalt in 7; chrome in 2; brick clays ·in 29; pottery clay in 7; copper in
13 ; gems in -! ; granite in 8; lead in 6; lime and -limestone in 18 ; macadam in 15; marble in• 6; mineral water in 19;
nati1ral gas in 5 ; paving blocks in 4; petroleum in 8; quicksilver in 9 ; rubble in 14; salt in 6; standstone 'iii'-4, and
si lver in 34. In certain instances other substances . are mined or quarried in· only one county.

That full justice may be giYen to all mineralized counties in California, the California . . tate ~lining Bureau
publishes, herewith, covering a series of years, for the first time. the total n1lues of and detail. of min ml proclnctiou,
giving to the several counties .their proper share of that which has been, heretofor e placed nu d er th e general heading
of "unapportioned." This new depart.me will enable all counties to use this publication. prope rly for promotion purposes, and, it is obvious, to their legitimate and large advanta ge. In the aunnal hulleti n th e u se of the " unapportioned" column is still necessary and "·ill be so always. But there is no reason why the Yarious ri chly mineralized
portions of the State should not have their mineral wealth known. as r eprescntin~ the output of a period, and it is

enlightening those who are seeking for mining investments or places in which to place their cap ital in plants for thr
production of such minerals as are common to a large majority of Californi a co miti es. The Bureau believes that the
detailed statements will prove of value to all localities and to the State of California as a \\'hole.
In 1894 th e California State Mining Bureau began to keep a record, based on the indi~ridual returns of pro·
ducers, of the annual mineral output of this Shte

What the Lungmotor Does
The Lungmotor does the very next thing
normal breathing because it suppliesechanically-the tidal volume of air each
spiration (the amount you breathe at
st)-enough ·air, but not so much as to
ossibly injure the lung tissues and the
rculation, thus not leaving the patient
pen to pneumonia.

You can supply oxygen from any kind of
ontainer ; see article on this page entitled,
Gives Air, Also Oxygen."
The inspiration and expiration and volumn
btained by the Lungmotor arc regulated
the Device-not in the Lungs, as is the
se with the other kind.
Air is always ayailable with Lungmotor.
We've run out of oxygen" need not be the
gonizing and helpless cry with the Lungotor. Keep pumping-pumping pure air.
Time is essential in resuscitation cases;
e Lungmotor is so compact and light
at a man or boy can "flip" a street car,
icycle or horse, or run to the scene of
e accident, getting there in the shortest
ossible time. The Lungmotor can be opated under any and all conditions-in a
eking boat, swaying ambulance, or while
e patient is being carried on a stretcher.
t can be operated in any altitude.
The Lungmotor is absolutely safe. The
aximum pressure on inspiration and exiration is fixed definitely so that it can do
o harm to the most delicate lung: this is
ccomplished by very simple non-movable
echanical parts which maintain only the
sential pressure.

LUNGMOTOR VS. MANUAL
METHODS.
The failure to e~tablish respiratory equibrium by any of the manual methods now
use is one of the very seriuus elements
hich contribute to their inefficiency.
The establishment of the respiratory
quilibrium and the consequent induction
to. action of the suction action of the
orax on the heart and great vessels, which
esults in increased blood 'pressure, is the
eat reason why the Lungmotor produces
esults in asphyxia which no other method
an produce.

Strong Points of the Lungmotor
You can always gh·e air.
You can give any mixture of oxygen and
ir by instant adjustment.
-You can instantly adjust from neworn to largest adult.
-You can at will increase or decrease
ei;,..;r- ·ons per minute.
ou can increase or decrease air Yolume,
r air oxygen volume per respiration.
- You can work fast or slow-give small
r large air volume-changeable at will.
-You can help in the effort to breathe
ithout taking off the face-mask.
-You can take care of all water and
ucus from the lungs in cases of apparent
rowning, without removing the face mask.
You can prevent air going into the stomch not by holding your linger on the
arynx but hy a patented throat tuhe reuiring no attention-very simple and yet
e.
-You can cause inspiration ~ithC?ut _exiration-expiration
witho~t
msp1rat1on.
This is accomplished without tracheal
ubes.)
Should a face mask become damaged or

This report issued under authority
U. S. Bureau of Mines as public document, Technical Paper Xo. ii.

The U. S. Government Bureau of l\Iines, after the issuance of these reports, stopped
using Pulmotors and removed them from all mine rescue cars and stations, and after
nineteen months of careful investigation by its technical experts and physicians. has
just bought Lungmotors to take their place.
•
The Lungmotor met, physiologically and mechanically, eYery requirement and test
of these commissions.
Ko device ever received closer scrutiny bv reason of the universal interest in, and the
importance of the subject, which culminated in the reports oi these two commissions.
Thus, securing the order, (which means approval) gives the Lungmotor a tremendous
victory.

The Infant Lungmotor

ANYONE CAN- USE IT.
Lungmotor always aYailable, because a~ybody can use it. In the recent N &lt;!w York
City subway fire it was used successfully
by persons who had never seen the instrument before.

"Now let us

Conserve Human Life."

The Infant Lungmotor was designed with
but one idea in mind-to give the medical
profession a deYice technically perfect, yet
light in weight, simple in construction and

easy of operation, which can be placed in
the obstetrical bag and cause no inconvenience. Constructed upon the same basic
principle as the large Lungmotor, which
has performed so many remarkable resuscitations.
The Infant Lungmotor delivers a volume
of air corresponding to the air breathed in
the first hour after birth by three sizes of
infants, namely:
(Small) premature infant. ....... 2.5 cu. in.
(Medium) size infant ............ 5.2 cu. in.
(Large) infant........ . .......... 8. cu. in.
It is intended that the deYice be worked
about 60 times a minute, as this is the rate
of breathing inaugurated by the new-born
ir.fant. This falls to about 40 at the end of
the first hour.
The Infant Lungmotor operates by hanJconYenient for obstetrician or nur;e to
handle-very simple in construction-very
light (4 pounds) including conYenient brass
box in which the instrument can be boiled.
Me~surement over all 2¼x5xl0 inches.
By simply unscrewing nut ''E" with two
fingers it is disassembled and can be thoroughly sterilized. It is so constructed th:it
it is impossible for any one to reassemble 1t,
except in the right way.
Price complete. in hinged brass case,
2J4x5x!O inches , . , ... . .......... . $32.50

Cities, Towns, Hospitals, Industrial Corporations, Mines, Bathing
Beaches, Parks, Drug Stores, Physicians, Ambulances,
Etc., that are equipped to save human life
are repaid a thousand fold.

The Lungmotor
Outfit Complete

READ THE STORY
ln February, 1914, after a demonstration of th e Lungmotor, an outfit
was deliver ed to Be llev ue Hospital,
ew York City, " on trial." After 30
days' ust! th e A llied Hospitals (Gouverneur, Fordham and the Bronx) were
s upplie d o ne each "on trial" and Bellevu e req uested anot her one.
No effo rt was made by us to influence the purchase of Lungmotors, because we were satisfied if they were
actually us ed they wou ld by the ir effic ie ncy justify voluntary acti on by the
Hosp ital Superi nt end en ts to pla ce formal orde rs.
The orde r did come (Decenibe r,
1914) a lmost nin e months after practi ca l tr ial in many cases.
Now comes further proof of Lu ngmotor success:March 19, 1915, Be ll e\'ue Hospital
sent in a n order fo r two more Lun gmot ors-making seven (7) in al l.
April 15 another order came for the
Dru g Dept.-making· eight (8) in all.
Plainly, here is a case wherc it was
not simply bu"yin g "anything that
looks good." They tried out Lungmotors for months before placing
their order and then, justified by

Procrastination i~E Thief of Life

The entire outfit for every emergency
consists of the following securely packed
in a special strong carrying case:
The Lungmotor with pre:ssure and suction tubes, two sizes face-masks, tl1roat
tube, head strap, mouth gag and wedge,
tongue forceps, tongue depressor and
tracheal tube. Oxygen Generator complete
with safety valve-gauge, connecting tubes,
also gas bag. Oxygen compound in two
cans, each containing six cakes oxygen.
Weighs complete, 33 ½ lhs. Price .... .. $150
The Lungmotor (without Oxygen Generator) with pressure and suction tubes,
face mask, head strap and other small accessories, All Ready to Give All Airwi th gas bag and connections for attaching
t7&gt; any oxygen container. 1.Veighs, in carrying case, but 18½ lbs., size 23x9½x5½
lnch e..

actual, practical experience, they order more Lnngmotors.
Here is proof that is proof.
Bellevue Hospital knew what mechanical respirators were before the
Lungmotor was shown them.
They were in the best possible position to judge-they had owned the
"other kind." They did judge-they
bought Lungmotors when they needed
additiona l respirators.
Begin saving lives with the Lungmotor in your hospital in cases of:Collapse during anaesthesia; asphyxia new-born.
Asphyxiation by gas, fumes and
smoke.
Apparent drowning, mining accidents, electric shock.
Suffocation, pneumonia, diphtheria.
Positive test of death, etc.
We send Lungmotors on inspection.
vV c long ago got beyond the "trial
order stage." The safety, success,
availability _and adaptability of the
Lungmotor have been proved hundreds of times.
Let us send you one to look atkeep it a week-get acquainted with
it-you'll not send it back.

They Bought Lungmotors
At a state Medical Society Meeting, the
other day, _the Lungmotor and "the-otherkind" were shown side by side. The Mayor
and Health Commissioner said: "'0le will
buy what the Meeting thinks is the best."
They bought Lungmotors.
The Police Department of one the largest cities in the world wanted eleven mechanical resuscitating devices. The other
kind and the Lungmotor were brought before the Surgeons and officials. They could
have had four of "the other kind" for
nothing, but they bought eleven Lungmotors, and Lungmotors are the only ones
they use. They wanted the kind that didn't
get ont of motive powf!r-the kin,\ ;inyon~
could use and the kind that can always supply air at a safe prcssur&lt;:.
More Lungmotors have ueen bought by
the hospitals of New York, Chicago, Pittsburg and Washington, D. C., during the
past few months than "the other kind" has
ever sold to hospitals in these cities.

HY sterilize water? To make
it safe to drink. To render
it harmless. To make sure
that individuals drinking the
water will not be exposed to typhoid fever or some similar
disease which water may carry.
A polluted water supply causes disease. Many diseases are known to be
caused by bacteria or germs. Before
the inception of a disease the patient
in some way or other must become infected by the particular germ which
causes the disease in question.
There are many diseases that can
be transmitted by water, and of these
typhoid fever, dysentery, and cholera
are the best known. The germs
causing these diseases are found in
sewage from patients infected with
the sickness. As most refuse is discharged into or is ultimately carried
away by water, it is easy to see how
the water may become polluted.
Typhoid fever can only be contracted by swallowing the typhoid
bacillus. Unpleasant as is the thought
that sewage entering a water supply
ultimately reaches the consumer, it is

.'

a fact which must be appreciated. If
in such sewage there are 'germs' from
persons sick with typhoid fever, every
person drinking the water is exposed
to the disease and unquestionably
some of them will con tract it.
Now the mere fact that a water supply is not definitely known to be polluted by sewage; the fact that there
are no direct pollutions does not remove the potential danger. The nature of typhoid fever is such that a
person ill with the disease usually does
not become sufficiently ill to remain
at home until from ten to fourteen
days after infection. During this period of incubation (as the time between infection and confining illness
is termed) the patient is an active
carrier of the disease germs. There
is also a type of typhoid known as
'walking typhoid' in which persons
are infected with typhoid fever, but
owing to their high vital resistance or
to the mildness of the attack are not
confined by the illness. In addition,
patients who have recently suffered
from typhoid fever may possibly carry
in their systems the typhoid bacillus
for a considerable period after they
@)

have sufficiently recovered to be up
and about. Persons in any of these
classes going more or less about their
normal daily duties, but at the same
time being infected by the typhoid
bacillus, are termed 'typhoid carriers'.
The real danger in the pollution of a
water supply is from the typhoid carrier. It has come to be recognized as
almost criminal to knowingly permit
untreated, polluted matter to be discharged into a water supply without
treating the water supply so as to
overcome the effects of the pollution.
It has been said, "Every death from
typhoid fever should and might soon
be a proper subject for investigation
by a coroner's jury."
With most water supplies, however,
there is nothing to prevent a typhoid
carrier who goes hunting and fishing
from polluting the supply. There are
cases on record where such pollution
remaining under the snow and ice
during the winter periods has been
washed into the water supply by the
heavy spring thaws and rains. There
are other epidemics of typhoid fever
traceable to pollution .from typhoid

�carriers made from trains passing over
the water shed.
Not only surface water supplies
become polluted but sub-surface and
well-water supplies are also subject to
pollution. A well supply is obtained
from water which has passed through
porous strata of earth. If the water
on the surface has been subjected to
pollution, and if in its passage through
soil strata it is subject to pollution
from cesspools or privies, the water in .
the well probably will show indications of pollution.
Nor should too great reliance be
placed upon filtered water. To be
sure, a filter cleanses a water. It removes the dirt and the color, making
the water more palatable. It removes
some of the bacteria or germs, but
filters are not always reliable. They
may not be operated at their highest
state of efficiency. There may be periods when polluted water will find
its way through the filters into the distributing mains, and many such cases
·are matters of record.
Typhoid carriers can pollute almost
any water supply, and every water

supply should be so treated as to overcome the effects of such pollution.
The only sure way to accomplish
this is to sterilize the water, and that
means to kill the bacterial or germ
life. Sterilization , disinfection, fumigation, vaccination, the use of antitoxins, etc., are all means of either
destroying the germs before they can
get into the human system, or forestalling their activity if they do get in.
There are many ways of sterilizing
water, but the most efficient and least
expensive is to chlorinate the water.
When a water is chlorinated, minute
quantities of chlorine are added which
absolutely destroy the germs in the
water, but do not alter the chemical or
physical characteristics of the water
in the least. The difference between
a water that has been chlorinated and
one that has not been so 'treated is
that in the first case the germs are
destroyed, but in the second case they
are not destroyed and remain in the
water to cause possible disease.
In 1908 the process of chlorination
actively began on a large scale in this
country by the use of a chlorine compound commonly known as chloride of

lime. For the last few years pure
chlorine, commercially known as 'liquid chlorine', has come to be used for
water sterilization, and its marked increased efficiency coupled with its
economy and the ease of application is
bringing it daily into more favor
among watenvorks men. Liquid chlorine was well known in 1908 when the
first large scale use of chloride of lime
was made in the sterilization of water,
and it was known for a long time before that. It was not available for use
in the field of water purification, however, because its application to water
could not be controlled. Either too
much was added, causing trouble, or
not enough was added to destroy the
germs, and so the object in view was
not attained. Chlorine, valuable as it
is in the field of water sterilization,
serving as it does to protect the
health of so many million people, is,
at the same time, so active that it is
necessary that it be properly controlled, in order to insure its proper
application.
This company specializes in apparatus for the control of chlorine. We

tured, and installed over two thousand
installations of chlorine control apparatus at this writing (May, 1919).
We have fifteen types of apparatus,
which control the application of liquid ·
chlorine, applying the chemical to the
water that it is desired to sterilize with
absolute reliability-just the amount
of chlorine desired, not a bit more and
not a bit less.
Our apparatus has been developed
for the practical waterworks man.
It can be operated by any competent
waterworks attendant or pumping
station engineer. Our equipments are
now operating day after day, treating
nearly three billion gallons of water
per twenty-four hours on installations
scattered from the northern parts of
Canada to the Canal Zone, and from
the trenches in France to the Philippine Islands. The cities of New York,
New Haven, Hartford, Albany, Trenton, Baltimore, Richmond, Scranton,
Wilkes Barre, Charleston, Birmingham, Chicago,· Indianapolis, Dallas,
Austin, Minneapolis, Duluth, Salt
Lake City, Butte, Cleveland, Detroit,
Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Toronto,
Ottawa, and Calgary are but a few of

the better known cities protecting the
health of their consumers by vV. &amp; T.
apparatus. Day after day these installations of ours are on the job sterilizing
water, protecting the health of the
water consumers.
The cost of the process of chlorination is insignificant. The average
water supply can be sterilized so that
the ever present danger from polluting
material will be eliminated for a total
average cost of twenty cents per million gallons. Twenty cents per million
gallons to protect the health of every
water consumer! Twenty cents per
million gallons-about one ten-thousandth of a cent per day, one cent in
twenty-five years, for each man, woman, and child drinking the water.
Pretty cheap insurance.
Men in charge of.waterworks have a
great responsibility. Their consumers
rest assured in the belief that they are
doing their utmost in taking every
precaution to see that the water delivered to them is pure and free from
organisms creating disease. Practically every up-to-date waterworks ~as
its chlorinator, and at every large filter

plant the water is chlorinated after
filtration as a further safeguard.
One of our types of chlorina tors is
applicable to your waterworks. Undoubtedly this little booklet has presented to you the necessity, economy,
and desirability of sterilizing your
water supply. If you desire the opinion of our technical staff of trained
sanitary engineers on your particular
problem, without incurring the least
obligation, the necessary data can be
furnished on the enclosed mailing
card and sent to our New York office.
We have a series of technical publications describing and discussing in
detail our various types of apparatus
and the process of chlorination. Any
of this literature will be gladly sent
upon request. May we co-operate
with you in securing a safe water supply for your co·mmunity?

NTIL 1921 the only light portable coal-cutting machine for
headings and other narrow work ,Nas the Percussive Machine
driven by compPssed a ·r, and electrically equipped mines when in need
of such a machice had to install an Lf'l-bye air compressor. This
necessitated 1 ot only a high first cost b t a high running cost, as an
in-bye air compressor large enough to drive one Percussive Coal-Cutter
required an ~lectric motor of from 25 to 30 h.p. to drive it.
This necessity no longer exists, as the " SISKOL " Electric Header,
which is illustrated and described in the following pages, will, with a
3-h.p. motor, do the same work as the Percussive Machine which
requires a 30-h.p. motor at the air compressor.

the "SISKOL" Compressed-Air Machine but, whereas in the latter machine the
primary motion is percussive, in the Electric Machine it is rotary.
All gears are of steel with machine-cut teeth and are enclosed in an oil-tight box,
each part receiving a copious supply of lubricant independent of gradient.
A new type Chuck has been designed to ensure speedy changing of the
extension rods.

Headings or Bards up to 20 ft. wide X 5 ft. deep can be cut by this machine
from one setting of the column.

flameproof direct current motor. At this colliery the "SISKOL"
cuts regularly 4 places 12 ft. wide x 5 ft. 6 in. deep per shift, while
at another colliery in the same district it cuts 6 places per shift, each
place averaging 14 ft. wide x 6 ft. deep.
There are now in ~se several hundred " SISKOL " Electric Headers,
working chiefly in headings and on bord and pillar work. They are
also being used to advantage in heading round falls on long-wall

ABOVE is a skeleton view of the main and interm~diate shafts with ne~essary g~ar ~heels.

.fl. The main shaft has a speed of 400 r.p.m. while the speed of the intermediate 1s 80_0.
The gears can be made to deal "".ith a motor spee~ of between l, I00 and 1,700 r.p.m. while
still keeping the speed of the mam shaft at approximately 400 r.p.m.
A specially designed c~m is secu~ed to the mai? shaft_ and as_the latter ro!ates, the cam,
passing between the twm rollers, imparts the rec1procatmg motion to the mam shaft, on the
screwed end of which the chuck for carrying the cutting rods is attached.
The pinion engaging the gear wheel on the main shaft is broad enough to keep this wheel in
mesh during its lateral movement.

HE illustration on this page shows
t~e quadrant, the principal parts
of which are a malleable iron connecting arm and a hinged steel sector.
The former has a casing provided
for carrying the steel worm which
engages in the machine cut teeth of
the sector. It is also provided with
two arms through which-as shown on
page 4-slide the guide rods which
connect the motor end of the machine
with the front gear box. A clearance
hole is provided in the arm of the
quadrant through which passes the
intermediate shaft connecting the
motor with the gear box. The hinged
sector is clarp.ped ·to the column, but
as the arm is free to move, the operator
by turning the handle on the end of the worm is able to impart the necessary radial motion
to the frame of the machine. This is rendered easy by the fact that the cutter, on the
backward stroke of the main shaft, comes clear of the coal.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ERECTING AND OPERATING
THE "SISKOL" ELECTRIC HEADER.
TYPE "B"

ERECTING MACHINE.
In erecting the supporting column of the machine in position it is
necessary to use a wooden block underneath the base of the column and
a hard wood block on the top of the screw head. If the floor is hard
the wooden block between the base of the column and the floor need not be any
thicker than 1 in., and need only be of medium hardness, but should be at least as
broad as the base of the column. The block on the top of the column should be
of hard wood and not less than 3 in. in thickness, otherwise there is danger of the
block splitting. Before tightening up the screw, care should be taken to see that the
base of the column is lying evenly on the wooden block ; which means the column
must be at right angles to the floor. The position for fixing the column should be
the middle of the heading and about 4ft. 6 in. back from the coal face.

OILING.

Before starting up the machine, care should always be taken to see that the
gearbox is not less than half full of oil. Thin lubricating oil only should be used.
If there is a leakage tighten the glands slightly.

INTERNATIONAL CHANNELLING MACHINES Ltd.

INSTRUCTIONS-continued

OPERATING.
The _operator ~rom his p~sitio~ behind the column should see that the
machme
· b · runs
·11 ·m · a clockwise
. direction
.
• The angle of th e prongs on t he
~uttmg ~t w1 md1cate the direction of rotation. The extension rods should be
msert:d m the. chuck and turned round against and under the head of the two
faste~mg bolts ~n such a way that these bolts will prevent the extension rods from
t~rnmg round_ m the chuck when the machine is cutting. These bolts should be
~ghten~d up m such a way as to secure the tapered end of the extension rod
tightly mto_the chuck: Start up the machine and feed forward by means of the feed
ha1:dle until the. cuttmg bit comes in contact with the coal at the nearest point.
Swmg the machme _slowly across the face by means of the operating handle. At
the end of each swmg advance the machine a suitable distance depending on the
nature of the holing. By this means a continuous channel is made in the coal.
When the machine has been advanced the full distance of the extension rod the
~ext longer rod is placed in position and fed in the same manner. This operation
1s repeated until the cut is the required depth.

�M ECHAN IZATIO N of A merican coal mining has made, and is still making, rapid pro,
gress. No one needs to waste time stating its mer,
its. Economic pressure will compel the abandon,
ment of manual methods in coal production wher,
ever mechanization is physically possible. . Econo,
mic pressure will also provide the incentive needed
to insure progress in the improvement of machines
and mining sy tems. I submit, however, that it is
entirely possible to make very rapid progress along
strictly technological lines and at the same time to
make much slower progress in approaching maxi,
mum productivity and efficiency. As a background
for what I have to say, I wish to raise the question
- how efficient are our mechanized mines, and to
what extent is productivity affected by the mental
attitude of management and workers?
T he output of any piece of mining equipment is
controlled by psychological factors. The work at,
titude of the machine operator and the other work,
men; the state of mind of the foreman and the in,
telligence and disposition of top management all af,
feet production. The question is - how much?
Each instance, of course, requires its own answer.
In every case, however, the answer is obtainable.
If the answers are not obtained and if the psycho,
logical problem is ignored, it is very likely that
technical studies and mechanical alterations will
fail to produce results. The machinery salesman
may suggest that by discarding your present equip,
ment and installing his machine, you can solve your
production worries. Sometimes his solution works
-often it doesn't. In the successful instances not
infrequently the improvement is the result of an
accidental correction of some psychological factor

simultaneously with the change in eq ui pment. I am
all for more and better machinery, bu t I have been
disappointed often enouah to make me careful to
avoid over-simplification of my problems by attempting to reduce them all to mechanical terms.

port of this statement, the following examples are
cited :

In the manufacturing indu tries the effect of work
attitude on production is widely recocrnized. Some
manufacturers have made outstanding progress a
a result of giving very special attention to psychological factors in production. T hese factor have a
more marked effect on the productivity of a mechanized coal mine than they do in mo t manufacturing industries. This is largely the re ult of the fact
that mechanized mining does not consist of a mere
routine of pushing buttons and pulling levers. A
printing press or an automatic crew machine practically does its own thinking. V ery few mining
machines have this capacity built into them. Constant alertness and initiative on the part of the operator are required at all times. H e must be able and
willing to adapt himself to a •et of un predictable
conditions. His productivity depend , fo r the most
part, upon his skill and work attitude. I f he feels
that he is producing too much coal, and that he is,
therefore, working himself out of a job; if he thinks
the Company is making too much money; if he dislikes his foreman ; if his wife happened to spend
three days' wages for a new hat the day befor~he may have a "what's the use" attitude, resultmg
in a voluntary or involuntary slow-down. On some
jobs, such as loading machine operator, the attitude
of the workman influences not only his output, but
also has a substantial effect on the men in various
other related jobs. This situation is what makes it
so easy for the slow-down to become chronic. On
many jobs in the mine the worker's thinking may
influence his prnductivity 50% or more. In sup-

Time studies prove that the modern mounted
coal cutter has more than twice the cutting capacity
of the conventional shortwall machine. It is quite
common to find, when shortwalls are discarded in
favor of mounted machines, that two men, with a
fan cy cutter costing three times as much as their
old shortwall actually cut Jess coal- why?-usua.lly
because at th time the change in equipment was
made the two machine men changed from piece
work to hourly rates. On the other hand I have
experienced instances where two men, with an old
time shortwaJI consistently got the maximum output
from the machine whi le working under hourly
rates. In this case they produced effici ently simply
because someone was smart enough to make them
want to do so. In many mines one of the produc,
tion bottlenecks is drilling. I have seen one man,
with a post-mount d electric drill , consistently aver,
age seventy-five holes per shift without over-exerting himself. I have een mines in similar conditions,
with two men operating the same type of machine,
average less than sixty holes per shift-why didn't
they drill more?-they didn't want to. I have seen
a mine where the section tracklayers averaged lay,
ing three 40-16. switches each, per seven-hour day,
again without any undue exertion. I have seen
other instances where it was very difficult to get a
tracklayer, under similar conditions, to lay one 4016. switch in one eight-hour shift; as 'a matter of
fact, it has been demonstrated that a good track,
layer, by exertina himself, can lay such a switch in
one hour. . Similar instances could be multiplied
but these w ill serve to illustrate the point. It might
be suggested that such differences in worker effi,
ciency resulted from the varying amounts of pres-

2

�sure applied by management to force the workmen
to speed u p. In none of the instances cited were
the results obtained by slave-driving methods. Every,
one responsible for mine outp ut today knows that
the hard taskmaster method does not produce re,
suits. T oday high worker efficiency is accompanied
by a cheerful friendly attitude on the part of both
the worker and management ; whereas low efficiency
is usually accompanied by poor morale and bitter
quarrelsome relations all around.
It is evident that responsibility and ini tiative in
the field of worker efficiency must lie with mine
management. Only by recognition of this fact and
by careful factual analysis in each individual case
can success be achieved. I wi ll attempt here to
outline some of the general problems that must be
faced in any attempt to improve the ability of a
management organization to influence the work at,
titude of the mine worker :
First, it is necessary fo r mana0 ement to know
accurately the maximum potentialities of men and
machines. This information is not always easy to
obtain. I am not a golfer, but I presume that one
of the first things I would want to know 1': ap,
proaching a strange course wou\d be the established
par score. Likewise, the estabhshme~t of_ par production performance in mine operation IS _ a goo?
way to approach the problem o_f product10n eff1,
ciency. If conceptions about this par fi~e ?ave
been allowed to develop accidentally there 1s likely
to be a very great error in the accepted .figure-fa~
example :- At one particular property 1~ was gen
erally believed that 400 tons in one shift from a
loading machine represented peak performance
subsequently pr_o duction of over 11~0 _t~ns was ~n:
tained on a senes of test runs. This 1s not an

6

4

usually great error in popular conceptions about
mine perfo rmance. The proper initial approach to
the establishment of par performance for most operations is the intelligent application of careful time
studies. A ccurate time studies are not easy to get,
nor is it easy to accurately interpret them, but both
of these things must be done as a preliminary step
to the achievement of efficient production. The
principal value of such information, once obtained,
is p ychological. Mine management has no hope of
success until it knows of what success consists. If
people believe implicitly that they can do something
- they usually can. Once top management becomes
aware of the potentialities of the job, the next step
is to effe tively and convincingly establish this in,
fo rmation in the minds of the supervisory personnel.
Here agai n, this is usually no easy or simple task,
but it can be done in every case and it must be
done before results can come. As soon as possible,
and by whatever means necessary, the accuracy of
the theory being developed should be demonstrated.
If time studies show that a machine can produce
150 tons per hour, the machine should be made to
produce this amount at whatever cost and by what,
ever means.
Second, the will to produce ~ust ~e develoJ.?ed
within management personnel. This attitude of mmd
should be a permeating enthusiasm throughou~ th_e .
whole management organization. I am afraid 1t
can never be produced by suspending a threat over
each supervisor that he will lose his i?b, or be other,
wise penalized, in the event he fails to produce.
This is a weapon, which may, of course, be used
on proper occasion, but if it is relied upon as ~he
primary incentive, it becomes a boomerang tendmg
to Jestroy sound relationships throughout an org3:n,
ization. The foreman should be made to realize

�7

th at he is the guardian of productivity and shou ld
be taught _to regard this responsibility as a sacred
tru:;t. This calls for some study of sound economic
principles and the discussion _of such princip les
sho uld have a place 111 the bus111ess of every mine
management organization. S_u rprisincrly few people
have ever taken time to tlunk about such thi ncrs
much_ less to study them c_a~efully. _ The averag~
Amencan foreman 1s suff1c1ently mtelligent and
honest to appreciate these ideas and to absorb them
if they are properly pre ented . It seems to me that
the whole problem of industrial p ychology must
rest upon a foundation of the u nder tandincr0 of a
few basic economic facts. T here is now, in all
quarters, a greater awareness of the importance of
productivity in modern life than ever before. The
part American production played in the war has
awakened the entire world to the outstanding
achievements made by American industry. It has
also awakened our own public to some realization
of the fact that the fo undation of what we call
"prosperity" is industrial productivity. We are all
excited by the economic confusion over wages, profits and social systems, but underneath all this we
possess a fund amental realization of the unrivaled
importance of productive efficiency. The American
economic and industrial system has provided the
incentive and the means for making the most of the
expenditure of human energy app,lied to industrial
production. Immigrant workers from any other
land multiply their productivity and lessen the physical exertion they are accustomed to when they
take a job in the United States. A Welsh or Sc?tch
coal miner increases his usefulness about five trrnes
when he accepts a job in one of our coal mines. We
are justly proud of these achievements, we ~re
aware as never before, of their importance. If m6

dustria l management fails to capitalize on th.is fav,
arable trend in public thinking, it will be guilty of.
a serious breach of duty-it will have failed to util,
ize a tool which might have been used to great advantage in the carrying out of its responsibilities.
Every member of a management organization should
be characterized by a phi losophy based upon an
awareness of tl1ese simple economic facts.
T hird, every member of management should be
made to realize his obligation to ownership. He
should understand that ownership has entrusted to
him the operation of its busi ness and its hope for
profits; furthermore, th at his own personal prosper,
ity depends upon the success of the business. These
tlungs seem so si mple as to hardly require stating
in a discussion of tlus kind . I am convinced, how,
ever, that we take entirely too much for granted
about the th.in king of the average foreman. It is
unlikely that he will get these ideas straight in lus
mind and adopt the proper mental attitude unless
somebody takes time to present them to him in a ~
convincing and acceptable way.

Fourth, we Americans believe in the profit motive
-we know it to be an effective means of establish,
ing the will to produce. Every member of manage,
ment has a right to expect that acluevement on his
part will be rewarded by an increase in his compensation. It is my belief that a Company policy, assuring him that such recognition of his achievements
will be forthcoming, should be stated emphatically
to him and should, of course, be carried out promptly when results have been achieved. In connection
with this point, it is highly desirable that the fore,
man should have a clear understanding of the Com,
pany's financial position. He should be informed
regarding costs, profits, competition, and general
business prospects. An understanding of these
7

�things will teach him how vital he is to the successful operation of the business. It will help to keep
his thinking straight.
Fifth, work attitude within a management organization requires more than the understanding of certain theories and principles. The delicate balance
of human relationships does not maintain its equilib,
rium without special effort on the part of someone,
and general cooperation by everyone. N o manage,
ment is on safe ground unless the superior officials
have the respect and liking of their subordinates
and unless the subordinates have the trust and confidence and moral support of their superiors. This
is too large a field to attempt to discuss in detail
here. All sorts of excellent printed in fo rmation on
the subject are available. Any management organi,
zation that fails to make use of this info rmation will
fall short of' its true possibilities.
Sixth, the eye must be kept on the ball. It is
very easy to permit the diversion of attention from
productivity to other problems. Good housekeeping
is extremely important, but it is possible to make a
fetish of it and to have everything in order to a
nicety and at the same time experience low production performance. On the other hand, in almost
every case high productivity is accompanied by
good housekeeping. Safety is of extreme import,
ance. It is possible, however, to allow safety programs, incentives, and awards to be over-emphasized
and thereby divert attention from production. Here
again good production performance is almost invar,
iably accompanied by an excellent safety record.
One of the tricks of those who oppose high produc,
tion is to suggest that it is obtained by a speed-up
system that maims and kills men. Bad management
will produce accidents in any case. It takes good
management to get production and a management
8

rganization capabl e of making a mine produce is
~!ways capable of making it safe and as suggested
above in most instances the measures taken t? produce efficiency will si multaneously reduce acodents.
When management has produced within it~elf
the proper concepts and attitude, . the psycholog1cal
problem is only half solved. It _1s the at titude of
the workman that finall y deternunes the degree_ of
success to be achieved. The second half of the Job,
however is usually much easier to accomplish . Noth,
incr is m~re infectious than enthusiastic sincerity. If
th; rnanacrement organization has indeed become
enthusiasti°c abo ut its job, this spirit will be caught
by the workmen. This does not mean . th~t ~i~h
productivity will not be opposed by certau~ md1v1d,
uals, but if management makes a determined and
intelligent effort, the influence of the opposition can
be effectively neutralized. The ideas behind the
attitude of managem ent are so fundamentally sound
and so understandable that it is possible to transmit
them to the workmen.
If the thinking of the workmen is to be favor,
ably influenced this must be done by the workmen's
immediate superior. The section foreman and other
final representatives of management must perform
the task of morale building amongst the men. If
these foremen are incapable of doing this, they are
incompetent for their jobs. Here the leadership
ability of the foreman is of primary importance. If
he is truly a leader, his influence will guide the
thinking of his men as well as their physical activi,
ties.
The foreman must sell himself, and his Company,
to his men; he must win their loyalty; he must know
how to obtain their active cooperation, at the same
time maintaining their respect.

�The coal miner is characteri zed by a very strong
sense of pride in his work. This trait should be
encouraged as it will prove a powerful influence
toward increasing productivity. Friendly production rivalry among workmen can also be used to
great advantage.
I am not going to make any effort here to cover
fully the relations between the supervisor and the
workman. Much has been written on the subject,
abundant printed help is available. My primary
purpose is to emphasize the relation of the mental
attitude of management to the psychology of the
worker. The miner is highly susceptible to the influence of the foreman, he is going to be iniluenced
one way or the other. If the thinking of management is straight, if its convictions are clear and
strong, a response will manife t itself among the
workmen. The character of this response will be
much more desirable than anyth.i11g that can be pro,
duced by paternalistic social bettennent schemes, or
attempts to play '\vet nurse" to the miner by interferincr in his personal and fami ly affai rs. T he worker re;ents this type of approach as he does not fail
to sense that it has a detrimental effect on his self
respect.
In the coal industry, p1;or to the advent of mech,
anization, we relied upon piece-work rates to provide the incentive for a large part of the production
personnel. That this incentive 9idn't work very
well is evinced by the fact that worker productivity
reached a static level, or tended to decline. Wage
incentive rates always have a tendency to associate
themselves with low production rather than high
production. This is particularly true in the mining
industry due to the nature of the work which is
characterized by factors affecting production that
10

are altogether beyond the control of either manage,
ment or labor. In hand mining, tonnage rates were
elevated to protect the income of the miner work,
incr under handicap of adverse natural conditions.
In° this way the whole hand loading industry has
become penalized by excessive tonnage rates. I am
opposed to piece work or worker bonus incentives
of any kind in mechanized mining because I am
sure that it would have t he same effect there. Unquestionably piece work rates are a powerful incen,
tive, and in some industries where they can be ef,
fectivcl y designed and controlled, they greatly sim,
plify the production problem. It is regrettable that
they cannot be used more effectively in our indus,
try. I am convinced that the only guarantee of
worker efficiency and consistent progress in pro,
ductivity in mechanized mining lies in the ability of
the supervisor to develop work enthusiasm among
his men.
Another pitfall on the road to efficiency lies in
the temptation to permit machines to be operated
far below their potential capacity. It is sometimes
argued that it is more economical to operate mach,
ines at low capacities in order to integrate their per,
formance with other operations in the production
cycle. The economies imagined are usually ficti,
tious, but even if they were real, the demoralizing
effect of permitting low productivity from any unit
usually offsets any other advantages.
If worker psychology has such a marked effect
on productivity, it follows that progress in mechanization will be greatly retarded by any failure to
recognize this factor. The merits of any piece of
machinery, any method of procedure, or any system
of operation cannot be measured unless real effi.,
ciency is first established. It follows, therefore,

�►-

that selection of equipment and methods will be on
a haphazard basis where proper standards of productivity have not been developed.
In conclusion, let me attempt to brief the answer
to the question I r;,ised at the beginning, by saying
that our mechanized mines are not as effi cient as
they would be if we could gain the whole-hearted
cooperation of the workmen and such cooperation
can be obtained when management produces within
itself the proper mental approach to its job. High
productivity has its origin in ideas- it must begi n
in the imagination of alert minds.
