NOT Even DURING THE BATTLE OF
ATLANTA DID GAS Service FAIL

Ten years before the beginning of the War
Between the States, and during tire Gone With
the Wind era, Wilmington families were enjoy
ing living better with gas. Even in that distant
day folks had learned to depend upon Gas for
tightening the housewives duties, and making
the family more comfortable and happy.
The tradition of unfailing service has grown
with the years. It is your best guarantee that
your Gas Company will continue to serve you
as you wish to be served, not only with Gas,
but with modern appliances that give you more
for the little that Gas costs.
Today-through modern gas appliances
every member of the family lives better, hap
pier because of Gas.
The housewife . her kitchen duties are
lighter because modern Gas Ranges are designed
to give her shorter kitchen hours. Her cooking,
baking, and broiling is better for with modern
Gas Ranges there is no guessing-every meal
comes out just as she planned it would.
Father, Sister, Brother-enjoy constant, never
failing hot water service with modern gas water
heaters. Gas service to them is so botherless-:
they never give it a thought-just how wonder
full their Gas Service really is!
Refrigeration for the family with modern Gas
Refrigerators is never failing. Every minute,
every hour, every day, week, month, year, the
Gas Refrigerator protects the family's health and
pocketbook.
The entire family enjoys living in a we'll heat-
ed, controlled heated home with Gas furnaces
or heaters.
There is a Gas Service and appliance to fill
every need and budget.

SAFETY AND HEALTH

OUR human resources are Americas greatest
resources. At all times we have too high
toll of industrial accidents and occupational dis
ease. Last year alone 5000 workers were killed
and million and quarter injured or permanently
crippled by on-the-job accidents and disease. Last
year was no exceptional year.
This year, if we do not take care, the toll may
be even more tragic. The expansion of industry
the hiring of new workers, the stress on getting
out production-all these will mean still more in.
juries (as they did during the World War; unless
workers, management and the Government dc
something about it,
We know, in most cases, what needs to be done
If we do it, thousands of lives will be saved and
hundreds of thousands of workers will be saved
from loss of limbs fingers, eyes, and from loss of
their earning capacity. They and their families
will be protected-and we will produce more and
better for the national defense.
State laws provide the chief regulation for in
dustrial safety and health. Unions and individual
workers should cooperate with State labor depart
ments for vigorous, full enforcement of these laws
Unions should also have safety committees in each
local, or at least one safety committeeman in each
plant on each shift. Unions can give their locals
and their individual members the facts on job
hazards in their industries and how to guard
against them.
To help protect workers on defense contracts
the Secretary of Labor has organized National
Committee on the Conservation of ManpOWer in
Defense Industries. Labor-union spokesmen sit
on this committee with safety experts from pri-
vate industry and government
Labor members of this committee have just
put out a timely booklet of practical hints for
workers: 'The Workers Safety and National De-
fense' It's pointers on how to make the job safe
are for all workers. whether or not they are work
ing directly on defense production.

PLANNING FOR DEFENSE

TO push the national defense program into action
as rapidly and efficiently as possible, Natl
onal Defense Advisory Commission has been
named. 1t does much of its planning as group,
but each member has special assignment. You
can tell the sort of problems the Commission deals
with by looking at the divisions assigned to it's
members.
There is an Industrial Materials Division, head
ed by Edward r. Stettnus, Jr, until recently
chairman of the board Of the United States Steel
Corporation. The Production Division is under
William S. Knudsen, formerly president Of Gen
eral Motors. An Agriculture Division is headed
by Chester G. Davis, member of the Federal Re-
serve Board and formerly head of the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration. Transportation is
under Ralph Budd president of the Chicago, Bull
lington 4 Quincy Railroad. Price stabzation is
under Leon Henderson, member Of the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
The Division of Labor and Employment is
headed by Sidney HiIlman, president of the Anal
gamated Clothing Workers of America. This Di-
vision is responsible for meeting the labor require
ments of the defense program 1t estimates pros
pective labor needs and plans for the training of
workers. 1t is responsible for seeing to it that
good labor standards and good labor relations are
maintained in defense industries
This Division is also responsible for certifying
the need Of workers in defense industries for hous-
ing, and for the maintenance of good standards in
the erection Of such housing.
A Labor Policy Advisory Committee made up
Of officials of the A. +. Of L., G.. l. O., and the Rail
road BrotherhoodS, helps formulate the policies of
this Division.
The Division of Consumer Protection is under
Miss Harriet Elliott, Of the University of North
Carolina. 1t is concerned with protecting the
standards of living and the health and welfare Of
American consumers. Most American consumers,
of course, are wage earners. And it is they who
most need protection as cOnSumcrS-bccauSe they
have small margin in the family budget, and they
cannot afford soaring prices or shoddy quality in
the things they buy. To wage earnerS consumer

'NHE right Of workers to organize into unions of
their own choosing and to bargain collectively
is protected by the National Labor Relations Act
The American way in industrial relations is
the conference table, where the labor representa-
tives sit down with management to discuss wages
and hours and working conditions. This is the
way of efficiency too, and hence of maximum pro-
duction--for defense and for all the things the
country needs.
Orderly responsible collective bargaining
makes for industrial peace. 1t prevents the inter
ruption of production, which is sometimes the
only other way to secure recognition of the union
from management.
Differences Of opinion do not disappear, of
course, when organized workers deal with manage
ment. But these differences can usually be re-
solved in an atmosphere Of mutual recognition,
mutual responsibility, and mutual respect.
For unions and management unable to reach
an agreement, the Cancellation Service Of the
United States Department Of Labor offers the ser
vices Of experienced conClllators. These men will
lend hand wherever the parties to the dispute
call them in.
In the railroad and airline industries a similar
service is provided under the National Railway
Mediation Act. There the tradition Of collective
bargaining is long established and organization of

BUILT BY COOPERATION

(From the Electrical Workers JournaD
Amazing work Of Father d. Wilfred
Soucy in building co-operatives in
Maine and rehabilitating St. John
Valley is at last getting national at
tention. Father Soucy went to st.
John as pastor ''to save souls" as he
put it, but he discovered he said, che
had to save bodies first"
st. John Valley was a dying COM
munity, when he found it, numbering
5000 families averaging six members
to a family, and starving. The COM
munity numbered expert needle work
ers among its members, but these
were operating on a one-family basis,
The valley was off the beaten track
and at one time the family shops had
been taken in and beaten by slick
city firm. Needle workers were sus-
picious.
Father Soucy first went up and
down the community talking cooper
alton, and co-operatives. He first
founded credit unions, the kind which
many local unions of the Internati-
onal Brotherhood of Electrical Work
ers have established. He built tele-
phone lines so that the far-hung units
of his flock could be brought closer
together. Little by little, he and his
reviving craftsmen built a cooperative
crocheting and knitting industry, which
did business this year of $350,O0O
and now looks forward to a $3,O00,000
year volume. Moreover, to take up
slack, the aroused workers established
cooperative creamery, which pro-
duces more than 100000 pounds of
high grade butter a year. A dying,
discouraged community of 10000 per-
sons has been given new hope and
dignity. There is an old adage that
competition is the life of trade. But
this is only cover-up for economic
war All lasting and good things are
built by cooperation, as trade union
lists we'll know.

DEFER OF NRA LOSES FIGHT
ON JOBLESS COMPENSATION

Harrisburg, Pa. QLNS).-Fred M.
Perkins, York, Pa, small manufac-
turer of batteries, who once gained
national notoriety by defying the
National Recovery Act, was overruled
by the Dauphin County Court in an
action to knock out the State Unem-
ployment Compensation Act.
Judge William M. largest decided
that the court "has no power to con-
slider" the manner and operation of
the four-year-old statute. Perkins
had objected to paying $222.61 in the
2.7 per cent wage tax claimed by the
state, arguing that it was "surren-
der" Of Pennsylvania's rights because
the Federal Government had taken
custody over $120,O00,0OO trust fund
accumulated from social security taxes.

DEFENSE AND JOBS

IN a rea! sense, all workers in the county
whether in arscnals or airpane building or ship
yards, in mining construction, in factories or on
the falmS-arc contributing to the national de-
fenSe.
Defense production opens up new Jobs. The
Government arsenals and navy yards already need
many more Workmen SO do industries like avi-
alton, shpbuilding, arms, chemicals and machine
tools. Expansion Of Jobs in these industries will
carry back to the industries which feed them ma
terials and supplies. Where they are adding to
their plants, there will be more work in con-
Struction.
OF course, new Jobs will not open up at the
same rate all around-n all lines of work or in all
communities. At the present time skilled work
Crs are in greater demand than unskilled workers
men are wanted more than women. There will be
increasing opportunity for women, especially in
Scmi-skcd jobs, as production continues to cX-
pand.

LABOR LAW INSPECTORS
good Inspector is as necessary as

" a good inspector is as necessary as a good
law" and trade unionists know this is par
ticularly true of labor laws. Today more than
it is realized that the effectiveness of gen
eral labor aws-those limiting hours Of work, set
ting minimum wages, regulating child labor, pro-
viding for collection of unpaid back wages-de-
pends on enforcement by competent, trained, SYM
pathetic inspectors.
"Qualifcations for General Labor Law In
spectOrs, just published as Bulletin No. 3S by the
Division of Labor Standards u. S. Department of

ory committee to Secretary of Labor Perkins. The
recommendations are based on the first-hand ex-
periences of the committee, composed Of state la
Dor law administrators and representatives Of or

Federation of Labor economist.
Work in the trade union movement is recog-
nized as qualifying experience for labor law in

Qualified inspectors should be kept in the pub
lie service; they should not be subject to sudden
dismissal without cause. "Defnite provision for

!. COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

IC ISpOllcu IiulISCI ISQucSl ny
Great Britain to the United States to
speed up aid to Britain by increasing
hours of work in defense industries will
meet strong opposition from the Amer
lean Federation of Labor and the Con-
gress of Industrial Organizations, as is
right. There is no ground for MAX
ing such request.
Government officials have expressed
annoyance at such a request coming
from Great Britain. Labor has been
assured that working standards would
not be altered downward by the de-
fense problem. This assurance plus it's
practical application is accountable in
large measure for the enthusiasm
of organized labor in the defense pro-
gram.
Officials of the Wage-Hour Division
of the U. S. Department of Labor in
sist that no increase in working hours
is necessary at this period Of the natl
onal defense program nor will it be
necessary in the future unless the
United States is Unexpectedly drawn
into the war.
X X X
Protests of labor against the British
request will be based on the sound
ground that Britain has no right to
dictate labor standards to workers in
the United States. Such interference
is backed up by the suspicion held by
some trade unionists that Great
Britain is doing everything possible to
draw us into the war soon.
While government officials connect
ed with the Department of Labor are
not known to hold this view, they ad-
NIT that Britain's suggestion may Gre
ate in the ranks of the workers, oppo.
sition to "all aid short of war, to
Britain"
In connection with the reported
British request, it is interesting to
see that Ernest Beven, British union
leader and Minister of Labor, predicts
that within another six months Britain
will pass Germany in munitions pro-
duction and that the "ugly regime will
crumple up in Hitler's hands,"
"Give us another six months Of in
tensive production" Bevin urged work
ers, "and we shall have passed Ger
many in production of aircraft, ships
and guns and | venture to prophecy
that, Immediately we have done that,
the world will move back to peaceful
times, reconstruction, the wiping away
of privilege and the growth of knowl
edge.
"The Hitler and Mussolini rats will
squeal and run directly their turn
comes"
If Mr.. Bevin's confidence is we'll
founded, it is difficult to see why the
British should be worrying particular
ly about American production of i'm
plements of war. There is not much
doubt about their being able to hold
out against any Navy assault for six
months and then, according to the
British Minister of Labor, they will
be in position to carry the war to
Hitler aggressively and effectively,
using weapons made in their own fac
tories.
incidentally, Bevin's confidence
should serve to lessen the fear of those
in the United States who have been
vociferously viewing with alarm for
months the alleged prospect of Hit
Ter triumph over the British Empire.
