lied shop, do not realize the eff
fort that unions have put forth
to gain good working conditions.
Some of the newer employees
think that the companies, out of
the kindness of their hearts, have
handed the unions good working
conditions on a silver platter.
This is not true. 1t has taken
long hard hours, weeks, months
and years to make the gains la
Dor has now. The kids, as they
are sometimes referred to, do
not seem to realize what it took
to put over our program. We
should not be fooled there is
much to be done yet along this
line.
Perhaps, we as a union are to
blame for the thinking of the
younger generation as they enter
the shop for a career, or tenn
porary work Tor lew years, un-
til they can "get something bet
ter. We have not done too
good publicity and educational
job.
But back of this whole atti-
tude, in my mind, is the bad
publicity we have received in
the press of the nation. Too
many young people have only a
"press" knowledge of labor un-
ions. Little by little we are over
coming the poor publicity and a
larger percentage of young and
new workers in organized shops
are beginning to realize the fight
labor has put up for many years.
Labor unions have an ever
lasting publicity job to perform
and it is to our advantage that
we find a much better method
than we have now. 1t may be
good idea for all labor to attack
the problem Jointly.

Looking at the labor move
ment as a whole, all of us
must recognize the fact that
as far as working conditions
are concerned we have per-
formed a very presentable
job. There still remains much
for us to do; this is especially
true in the field of safety. In
the last 10 years gigantic
strides have been made in
Bringing about more ideal
working conditions. War pro-
duction was an impetus in
our favor; rest periods prop
erly spaced; increased pro-
duction and brought about a
better mental attitude for the
worker.
The non-production worker is
far better off today than the pro-
duction worker in comparing
working conditions. Much can be
done in mass production indus
try to take the drudgery out of
jobs. The line worker still has
a pretty stiff job-if you doubt
this, it is too bad that you can
not have a whirl at line job
for a few days, then you will
realize what / mean.
Gradually the older worker is
forced to leave the shop for a
altitude of reasons, old age,
Wury, ETC., and he is being re-
placed by the younger worker
just starting out. This has always
been the case, it is life itself. But
thereby lies a problem for or
ganized labor.
