"What is it?" is the question you no doubt are asking yourself. This truly fantastic picture was taken by the Institute for Mate· rials Research, National Bureau of Standards, Washington, D. C. It shows pa rt of the double spiral tungsten filamen t from a used fluorescent lamp and was made in the National Bureau of Standards' Scanning Electron Microprobe at about 100 X magnification. The red intensity is proportional to the target current to the wire, the blue intensity to the time differential of this current. The white ridges fo rmed at the boundaries of the large recrystalized tungsten grains during service. The triple oxide coating was removed with dilute Hel prior to photograph· ing by Dr. Jurt F. J. Heinrich and Dr. Harvey Yakowitz.

New Year Presents Us with Opportunity to Reflect On the Brotherhood 's " Objects" and Further Our Cause.

~ As we begin to work and live in this new year, it seems to be a good time to pause a moment and think how, in the days. weeks, and months ahead, the progress of our Brotherhood can be further advanced to bring more security to all rSEW members. As all our local union officers and members are well aware, things are already beginning to become a little tough. There always has been a marked resistance toward letting unions achieve too much success. either at the bargaining table or by adding new members in organizing efforts. With Increased restrictions and additional anti·labor legislation all aimed at defeating organized labor's Just causes, it just isn't easy these days to make steady progress. Despite all the hindrances that might delay us slightly, there is no reason why the ISEW cannot continue to pursue its objects and goals.

First. we have to consider that we are not just an organization; we are a Brotherhood. We are a service organization morally obligated to make the ISEW, not Just the largest, but also the best union from the point of service to all the members and to the electrical industry from which we gain our livelihood. This fact should be stressed to any and all members. In 100 many local unions. we have many dedicated officers who work hard to accomplish and perform tasks With minimum help from the loyal rank and file. Surprisingly. at times. progress is made. But much more could be accom­plished if those officers received complete cooperation from JII the members. The objects fo r which the IBEW was founded are for every member to promote Ihe enti re Brotherhood so that all members and their families can have a happy li fe. Electrical workers in every segment of the industry have been the concern of our Brotherhood since 1891. Their work and welfare is most Important. and the best job we know how to do must be done in unity. Right now is the time to make a pledge that you. as a member of our great labor organization. will take a good look at the preamble of our IBEW Constitution and renew once again The "Objects" for which our Brotherhood was founded. They are just as Important to us today as they were 10 the founders of our union. Those "Objects" In our Constitution point the way to making ours a real Brotherhood. They set the guidelines for us to follow which will make our union and every member in It a tower of strength as we move forward , always striVing to better ourselves and the society in which we live.

The Labor Depar t ment has reported that a bigger-tha n­usual rise in unecployment 1n November and a drop 1n non- farm jobs, pushed the nation's jobless rate up to 5 . 8%, the highest level in seven and one- half years . In response to the latest announcement . AFL- CI O officials called the continuing rise in the jobless rate " tragic , n a nd added that "we wished that our predic t ions had not been so accurate .~ Average weekly earnings . reflecting the decline in the work week, dropped 66 cents to 5121. 07 . Over the year ended in October, the average weekly earnings were down 2% when adjusted for consumer price increases . Factory overtime also declined two- tenths of an hour to 2 . 5 hours, the loy.'est since April , 1963 . The I BEW ' s newly- produced. half-hour, color movie dealing with the problems of communications and understanding among diverse segments of American society is now ready for national distribution . Entitled, -Where TO,· it is a fast - moving movie aimed at bringing the nation together . The setting is the national monuments, parks , government buildings, and ghettos of metropolitan Washington, D. C. Any AFL- CI O union or other in t erested group can make application to receive and show the film by writing : IBEW, 1200 Fifteenth St . , N. W. , Washington, D. C. 20005 . In a s pecial letter to meobers of the U. S . House of Representatives , AFL- CIO Legislative Director Andrew J. Biemiller has urged Congress to enact a substantially- more improved food stamp bill than has been reported by a House Co~mittee, as this issue of the Journal 'A'ent to press . The letter also asked defeat of any effort to amend the bill so as to deprive needy persons on strike from obtaining stamps . The U. S . Supreme Court has agreed t o study and make a ruling on the scope of the U. S. Labor Department ' s authority to police the internal affairs of unions . Because of the 1959 Labor- Management Reporting and Disclosure Act, the Department of Labor can sue to change union vo t ing practices and certain other matters . This is after a member has not gained reform through internal union procedures and has filed 8 complaint with the Labor Depar t ment. The decision should come some ti me i n 1971. The belief that Richard Nixon migh t not win re - elec ti on is spreading in Washi ngton circles . Specifically , economic policymakers are thinking that t he state of the economy may spe ll trouble for Nixon in 1972 in terms of re - elec tion hopes . Rumors are flyi ng around the nation ' s capital t ha t monied Republican liberals are already seeking a candidat e to meet Nixon head- on in the 1972 Republican primaries . As yet , few names are be ing mentioned .

ELECTRICAL WEEK

•

"Electricity Is for People" is Iht 15th anniversary theme of National Electrical Week. As in the past. the plannrng gUIde, which is built around the 1971 theme. wrll assist the electrical industry in organizing and carrying out an effective observance. The guide, held by Mrss Mary Lou Thomure at National Electrical Week Headquarters in 51. Louis, is now being distrrbuted.

~ '"Electricity Is for People" is the theme fo r the 197 1 Na tional Elcclrical Week to be observed throughout the United Siaies and Canada from February 7th through the 13th.

Complete kits for planning local and regional obscnanccs of Na­tional Flcclrical Week have been dj'lribulcd \0 sOllie 6.500 major dis­tribution [Xlin!" in both the U.S. and Canad: .. The lit contains sample publicil) and ad\crtising. materials. proclamations. sug.g~stions for youth programs. and hundreds of ideas for e\ents ;1111.1 :lctivities that have pr()v~1I to be successful in past local :Ind regiOlwl ob~en ances. Speeches. hanncr~. decals. place mats. bal­loon... sticlers. and other helpful items can be ordered from a listing included in the pla nning guides.

Roocrt w. BaschnageL Ch'lirman of the Sponsoring Commillee. said. "Empha~is in the 1971 materials is on the industry's sen icc to the peo­ple. as expressed in the new theme. 'Electricit} h fo r People.' Nation:11 Electrical Week gi\es us a real op­portunity to join hands in making known our contributions to our communities. regions. and nations."

The planning. guides \\erc s~nt to e1ectric'll manufacturers. contr;lc­tors. distributors. utilities. I BEW local unions. and major industry suppliers. The purpose of National Electrical Week is to bring attention to the electrical indu .. try and elec­tricity's broad rung~ of services to the people in the United States and Canada.

The electrical industry is rcspon­~ible for boosting the economy by ~rnploying o .. cr thrce million people. \\hich put<; billions of dollars into circulation each year. nle industry directly cmploys people in manu­facturing. construction. distribution. \t'nice. :lIld power generation. and these branches of the industry caliSC many more people to be emplo}'~d in ;lllied industries.

National Electrical Week is the time to talc a good look at the marvelous and gigantic indust!) \\ hich plays such an importalll part in the Ihes of all or us. All IBEW local unions and its members are urged !O take an active part in the obscn ance of this important indus­try event.

Familiar Face Before Congressional Committees. Nader Issues Toy Balloon Warning

AFl-CIO Thanks Represen tative Mills for Alerting the Public On Health Crisis

Senator-Elect Hubert H. Humphrey Seeking Democratic Unity on 1972 Candidate

latest Job Injury Statistics Should Boost Chances for Job Sa fety Bill in Congress

Consumer advocate Relph Nader , a familiar face before congressional hearings, has just issued a warning t o t he government tha t billions of toy balloons may be funnelling asbestos dus t into the lungs of children. Nader said talc that is used in the inner walls of rubber balloons may be contaminated wi th asbes tos dust . Talc is used to keep the sides of the balloons from s ticking together . When thi s happen s , it is hard to blow a balloon up . "An immi­nent hazard exists for a large segment of our population, and thus , existent stocks of contaminated balloons must be destroyed, " Nader said in a letter to the F~d and Drug Administration ' s Bureau of Product Safety .

The AFL- CI O has thanked Representative Wilbur O. Mills ID- Ark . ) , Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee , for bringing to public a ttention - t he crisis of costs in the health industry . · Andrew J. Biemiller, AFL- CIO Director of Legislation, wrote Representative Mills that he made "a significant contribution by pointing out the dangers of cost - plus­~eimbursement which contributes to the escalating costs of medical care ." The labor movement, accord­ing to Biemiller, will be backing a bill to be introduced in the next Congress to establish a national heal t h insurance .

StreSSi ng that Pre sident Nixon would be no push- over in 1972 , Senator- elect Hubert H. Humphrey is pushing for the Democratic Party to unite behind a s ingle candidate for President in 1971 to avoid a party split in the 1972 presidential e lections . Humphrey saId , " I am interested in the party ' s winning in 1972 . The party is deep in deb t and has been wracked by disunity . My Democratic friendS have got to realize that we can ' t squander money, energy, and t alent in fratricidal warfare. I am a living example of this . I lost the election because of it, and I don ' t like it" .

A preliminary work- injury report, just released by the Labor Department , should help lobor's plea before Congress for a strong occupational health and safety law . The report , coming from the Department ' s Bureau of Labor Statistics, showed tha t , in 1969, the injury frequency rate--the number of disabling in­jurieS per million employee-hours worked--increased t o the highest level in almost 20 years . The rates for 18 of the 21 major industry groups in ma nufac­turing we re higher in 1969 than in 1968. The injury rate in contract con s truction also rose, reversing a long period of general ly- declining rates .

... The minutes of the Ilcdly manage ment and union meeling be­tween Ihe F, W, Sickles Di vi .. ion of the General Inst rument Corporat ion and IHEW Loc:.1 Union 1500. Chicopee, M assachusetts. on Au­gust 3, 11)6-1 , read as follows:

And thus bCg:Ul the Chicopee story- a ~tory that was 10 :l lert, for the nex t six years, \\urkcr\ in the electron ics indmtry of the loss of thOlls:md .. of jobs due to the trans­rer of their production lines to low-

EXPANDED As directed by the recent

29th International Convention, the ISEW has reviewed and re­vi~ed its ISEW Founders' Schol­arship Program in an effort to offer broader opportunities for college-level education to more ISEW members. The major changes for the 1971 program arc: • The age limitation has been

removed . • The continuQus-JBEW-mem­

bership-in-good-standing re o quirement has been reduced from five to four years. This is waived in the case of an original member of a local union which has been In ex­istence less than four years. ISEW members in apprenticed skilled trades shall have com-

pleted a full apprenticeship. as established in their trade and area.

• The program has been broad­ened to allow a wide choice of curricula. offering scholar­sh ips in virtudlly ev~ry Ilhd!>~ of our industry. rather than just in electrical engineering. The scholarships are worth

$2.500 a year for up to four years of study. They can be ap­plied to study toward a college degree in anyone of the ap· proved fields listed below. A maximum of 12 scholarships will be awarded In the 1971 program. on the basis of one scholarship for each 25 quail· fied applicants.

Do You Have the Right to Your Ideas? ~ The answer 10 that qucstion is

thaI you probably don"1. You may have signed away your ri£hl to O\\n­crship of patentable or cOPFight ideas. a property right so import.mt that it is provided for in the Con­sliullion of the United Statt!s. Article I. Sect ion 8 provides thaI Congress shall have the power '"To promote the progress of science and useful arts by securing. for limited times 10 authors ;lIld inventors. the cxclu­si\'l.~ right to their respective writ ings and discoveries." Many I BEW mem­bers have given away this righI-a right the Founding F:Hhcrs placed in the Constitution ahead of provisioll<; enabling Congress 10 form courls, the Army. and the Nilvy_

This right is important. not only to the individual. bUI 10 Ihc nalion. It is a major incentive for individual initiative. a concept that major cor­porations tall a great deal about but do very little to promote. In fact. corporations discourage individual initiative by requiring that cmplo}­ccs assign their patent rights.

Many employees of major cor­pormions are not even aware that they signed ;I\\ay their rights to O\\n their inventions and copyrights \\hen they were hired. The pulicy of many corporations. requiring lIfI employ­ees to sign patent and copy right <lS­signmcnt p<lpcrs, is all too common in Ihb country today. These COIl­

tracts <Ire upheld in the courts on the assumption that there was an equal­ity of bargaining. How can there be equa lity of bargaining before there has been :m invention? The em­plo)ee cannot lnow \\hat he is giv­ing up.

Before there can be equa lity of bargaining, the futurc l'mp[oyee mU51 lnow what he or shc is sign­ing. Yet. most employees sign these papers without reading or consider­ing them. I.n the rush of processing

someone into a new job. th(.: person­nel oflice usually identifies the form as a patent assignment. Ho\\c\'er. it is mixed with a number of other fo rms the new employe!! is required to sign. sueh as witholding sta te­ments. i1lSur;1IlCC forms. and medical forms. In this con fused state. the in­dividual in need of a job is not on equal bargaining terms \\ilh his fu­ture employer, so he signs Ihe "standa rd" form.

Patent waivers or assignments usually assure the employer owner· ship of allY item patented by the em· ployee. Many of these contraet~ ghc the elllplo)er ownerl.hip of thc pat­elll. whether it is related to the worl-

er's job or not. For example. a maintenance electrician might invent :t bellcr gun sight while pursuing a hobby. Under many of the:.e p~lIent assignment contracts. his employer would be able to claim property rights to his invention. even though it had nothing to do with his job.

Ilatent assignment contracts frc­quently contain "trailer clau-.cs:· v, hich provide tlJilt the employer re· t:t ins rights to a former cmplo)ee's ideas. even after the employt'e ha'i left hi., job.

I/Ilioll. The pat~[1\ ,lssignrncl1t con­tract required of our members today is one of the :trehaic "master­servant" concepts not yet replaced by modern labor rel,ltions doctrines ilnd law.

There ar~ real inequities involved with regard to the emp loycr and the individual ell1ploy~e-jnventor. Some workers arc hir~d to be inventive; others are not, but e\en \~orkers

hired to b~ creative. sLich as engi­neers and ch~mist". receive ~ubst;ln­tially less thun any real concept of justice wou ld permit. For example, the research worker~ OIl Odl Lab­oratories who invcnled the transistor received S 1.00 each: )el. the money c:!rned by AT&T from the inven­tion stagger,> the imagination. Dell Laboratorie~' employed inven tors obvious ly r~eci\'Cd less than a fair ~hare, although they were ell1pl()yeu to be creative.

Th~ technici:Ul is 1101 employed to be cr~a!ivc in the Slime sellse a~ ,til enginee r. The ~ug­gcstion award, determined solely by the company. yielded far less than equity to this technician. Often, the

JOURNAl fOR JANUARY, 1971

worker earning less th;1I1 $5.000 per year is requ ired to sign a patent as­signlllent form . To :!rgue that he or she is be ing pa id to be creative is stretching the point beyond reason.

Suggestion Systcms

Employers frequently usc sugges­tion systems as handmaidens for patent assignments. For examplc, if you turn in a suggestion as an elll­plo)ce of Equitable Gas, the COIll­

pany reserves the paten t licen .. e. The same i!> truc of General Electric, Raytheon, RCA. Sylvani:t. Western Electric, Westinghouse, and many other employers.

There arc so m:my diffcrc-nt sug­ge .. tion plans in existence that it is hard to genemli1e, but they gen­eraJly go hand-in-glove with paten t anll/or copyright lIssiglllllellh. That is, Ihe ~ugg~stion !>ystem transfers patent ownership of ideas that arc turned in as sugg~stiolls to thl.! cor­poration. if patent a~sjgnmcnls have not alread) been obtained frOEll at! individual employees.

With few exceptions. suggc .. tion systems arc ndministcrcd solei) by nwrwgernent. Our re~eareh uncovers only three grievances involving ~ug­gestion a\~ards' going to arbitration. This is a very small number, con­~iderillg the number and nature of the ~ySlems and the unilateral de­cisions madc by management. In 1969, the I-h\ova Company re­port~d to! I awards. T he average value I)f each was $87. During 1969, Duquc~ne Light p:lid sugge .. tion ;l\~ards averaging $38 each \Cl ~iK of 1.000 employce .. eligible to par­ticipatc in the plan. The highest was only $70.

Suggestion systems arc :In area wherdn the union. through collec­tive bargaining. can make a .. ignifi­C;HIt contribution 10 its member,. 1'0 dat~, few grievances have been pur­sucd in the~e ;!reas, and few eOIl­tracts make reference to patent waiv­er!> or suggestion ~y::.tems. Yet, both ()bviotl~ly involve wor~ing condi­tion .. and. as such. arc subjcct to mandatory eolketivc bargaining. In fact. it may be argued thai the uniun ha .. a right to be present during mectings of ~ugge~tion awanl COI11-

mittecs under Section 9(;\) of the National Labor Rei:ltions Act. par­ticularly as th~se lmards relate to

te rms and conditions of employ­ment.

When bargaining on this genera l issue, local unions gene ra lly scck representation on the Suggestion S)stem Committec or seek to in­crease the size of the awards. llle cmployer Ihcn counters by offering to drop the suggeslion system alto­gdher. The company. of coursc. is more than willing to give Lip aW;Jrds. if it already has the emplo)ees' sig.n~d patent waivers.

Th~ best ])Osilion secms to be to gain p:lrticip:Hion in the opcration of the ~uggcstion sy~ tem. To en­hance the employec's barga ining po­sition. paten t :ls~ignments must be set :lsirJ~. Without patent :lssign­ment.s, the emplo)er will have to provide the worker an equitable .. e~ ward to gain patent rights over those provided by common law.

Thc Comlllun L:IW

Even without patent assignmcnt forms. Ihe employee's right 10 hi .. own idea" is sevcrcly limited by cOlllmon law and the ··!>hop-right" doctrine. COlllmon law gene rally t reat~ the employee-inventor in the follo\\ ing manner: If the employee creates ;1Il in\'ention independent of his job. on his o ..... n time, with his own facilities and equipment. and \\ ith\lIJt the help of his employer or a!>sistance of co-workers, the inven­tion belongs to him exclusively. On the ClIher ~xtr~me. if he i~ hired 10 invent :lIld the work he \~a!> cm­plo)ed to do rclat~s to the ill\ention. th~ invention belongs exclusively to the employer.

The middle ground. or the shop­right doctrine. is the imposing con­sideration. If the invention is made b) an employee who was not hired to invent but who used company idea,>, information. equipment, and facilities. the common-law concepl give!> the employer free license to lise the invention in his bu~ i nl:ss. The employee-inventor is beller off und~r common law. than if he Iws signed a p.llent waiver. but he still has sc-rious problems, even if he 1m" not waived his rights by signing a contract.

The rl:alilies of the situation arc that most worke rs cannot afford 10 pursue their rights under common law. As a rcsult, thc cconomics of

"

thc lcgal pu~uit of his rights oftcn forcc thc worl.ing inventor 10 acccpl lcss·than·a·fair rcward for his abi lity. That is. hc usually mtl~t sell his invention at less than its worth or give it to his employer. Thus, simply nullifying thc patcnt a~sign­mcnt fo rms and turning to the cl)urts will not :I\sure the \\orl.ing irl\cntor cquitable treatmcnt, lIor \\ ill il pro· vide him thc inccnti\e thi" mllion was built Oil.

Only in the fiNt situation docs the invention belong enti rely to the employee. The sill1ilari ty 10

United States common law is re· marl.able.

nle most imporlant and different a~pcct of Ihe Swedish law is that the cmployee"", reward is determined by 1111 Industrial Arbitration Board or 111\ ofikial bo:m.l. Thesc tribunals base the employee's reward on the economic value of the invention. the nature of his employment (the abovc fou r c:ucgories). thc cmployee's sal­ary. and the inventors expense. Usc of these crite ria by the tribunals gives the employed inventor a COIl­

siderably-better chance of a fair re­ward for his ideas than he b apt to receive unJer United St:lte .. com­Illon law.

LOVE HATH FOUR SEASONS

I love you in the earty spTlng, When all of hfe seems to awaken ; The flowers bloom. and the birds sing Our beaut llul song of love unspoken.

I love you m the warmth of summer. The wannth I've found m your every

kiss; It·s made my heartbea t stop in wonder That we should share such perfect

bliss.

I love you In the autumn splendor, When leaves have t urned to COlors gay: You have my heart In sweet surrender, Forever In your care. I pray.

I love you In the winter cold, That wonderland of ice and snow; My love in tender arms enfold. Together aware of thiS treasure we

THE LINEMAN'S TREE

And fills the n'ght Wi th 11Isslng tlfes, A tree which drops lis leaves to rake, When we might picnic by the lake. When hfe's full drama has been played.

SILENT SNOW

The sky IS filled With snowflakes That fall without a sound; The earth IS wrapped In whltene.s. As the snow falls upon the ground. The mountains are filled With ma'esty: Their heads are crowned With while: The plains and tundra, drab and gray, Are soon ht up bright. The earth is all covered With snow; What a peaceful place to be. While snow. when you melt away. Please, won't you leave your serenity?

Some live it: Some give it.

GREED

Mercy flees from Its doorsteps crymg, Ane! charity win not dille at Its table.

For, greed blows out the lamp of truth To keep conscience chamed in

It freezes the heart Into ice, And love choke:; on Its blUer dust.

Beauty cannot walk beSide It. Nor can kindness hold ItS hand.

NATURE

Trees and flowers. vines and shrubs, Are Nature's way of showmg love. To those who walk on lulls and fields. At times, these th mgs look very unreal.

Crocuses on a spring· like day Lift thelf heads while children play; Daffodils sway III the breeze; Buds begm to grow on trees.

Animals also are a part Of nature's very generous heart. She wants to share her precIous

Frostbite, un like most injuries, can cause tragic loss of fingers, toes, and even entire limbs, before its victim becomes aware of any threat. An intense "biting" discomfort and a following loss of sensation and an odd stiffness are the earliest symptoms of frostbite. The affected area may turn glossy white or grayish-yellow. Frostbite, if recognized quickly and given the modern treatment of gradual rewarming in lukewarm water, may do no serious harm. However, severe frostbite requires immediate professional medical attention by doctors in a hospital.
