Gender, Class and Work: The Council of Action for Equal Pay and the Equal Pay Campaign in Australia During World War II

On 22 May 1937, the NSW Clerks' Union convened an equal pay conference. Held in Sargents' Meeting Rooms in Market Street, Sydney, the opening session began in the afternoon at 2.00pm sharp. The evening session was to take place at the Sydney School of Arts. 'Equal pay for the sexes' was an issue of topical interest and the conference, the first of its kind, had generated tremendous excitement and a sense of purpose. Representatives from 53 groups and organisations were in attendance ? including the public servants', teachers', hairdressers', textile and rubber workers' unions, the United Associations of Women, the Feminist Club, the Women's Justice Association, the Communist Party, the Unemployed and Relief Workers' Association and Women Today magazine.2 The Assistant Secretary of the NSW Clerks' Union, John Hughes, took the floor and delivered a report compiled by his union's equal pay committee. It was lucid, militant and staunchly feminist. Friedrich Engels' influential work, The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State, was deferred to and informed the socialist feminist position assumed in the report.3 The report associated female emancipation with women's greater participation in social production, and argued that while unequal wage rates based on sex still existed, emancipation would be forestalled. Hughes said 'Equal pay means the establishment of economic independence for women, and provides a basis upon which they can struggle to secure the consummation of full equality.' Other arguments for equal pay were touched upon; more particularly that of women providing a cheap labour source for the capitalists.4 This was a familiar trade union argument and its underlying contradictions with regard to feminist philosophy were not apparent. The Clerks' Union report was indicative of the later politics of the equal pay lobby group, called the Council of Action for Equal Pay, that emerged from this conference. The interplay between feminist and trade unionist motives provided the early equal pay movement with its dynamic as well as with the seeds of its demise. The Council of Action for Equal Pay functioned from 1937 to 1948 as a single issue affiliate body, predominantly composed of trade unions and several women's organisations. Its primary aim was to agitate for the implementation of equal pay, and its formation heralded the advent of the first conscious equal pay movement in Australia. This immediately provided the hitherto disparate sources of equal pay agitation with a central organisational base. Originally intended as the NSW Branch of a larger federal organisation, the CAEP in Sydney was compelled to conduct campaigns for the whole of Australia. Councils were formed in Brisbane and Newcastle, but these were comparatively unsuccessful owing to the lack of committed members.5

Spectral lines: The tape (information) gap

At a recent annual technical meeting of one of IEEE's largest and most prestigious societies, several hundred attendees convened in an evening session in which several experts were about to discuss the status and future of a key electronics technology.

Diurnal differences between morning-type and evening-type subjects in self-rated alertness, body temperature and the visual and auditory evoked potential

On the basis of their score on a morningness/eveningness questionnaire 9 extreme morning-type (M-type) and 9 extreme evening-type (E-type) subjects were selected. During a morning and an evening session both groups performed a reaction-time task with a visual and an auditory warning signal. The results showed that (i) M-types have a higher self-rated activation level in the morning than in the evening, while E-types show the reverse; (ii) M-types do not differ in oral temperature between the two sessions, while E-types show an increased temperature in the evening; (iii) M-types have a larger N1-P2 amplitude of the visual and auditory AEP in the morning than in the evening, while E-types show the reverse.

Report on Summer Conferences in England: Research in Movement and the International Council on Kinetography Laban.

The week-end conference on “Research in Movement” convened August 10-12, 1973, at Nonington College, near Dover, Kent, England. Five lectures beginning with an evening session on Friday, August 10, featured the paper on “Ergonomics,” by.Dr. Nigel Corbett (Industrial Engineer, Birmingham University), which was read and discussed by Mr. S. Madeley. He oriented the assembled movement researchers to the fact that “measurement of motion” is of particular concern to physiologists and scientists since the World War II demanded immediate practical solutions (how to survive in a jungle, speed and weightlessness in flying, etc.). Now it is vital that the job be fitted and programmed to the worker. He cited research by Alberg (1968) on tests and models of tasks (52 experiments); by Spitzer & Hethinger (1970) on static work involving large body movement and force factors; by Laban (1950) as utilized in Britain by Paddy McMasters who analyzed filmed worktasks.The research at Birmingham University focused on three types of actions: weight, breath, reaction-time factors for which examples were set-up each with four tasks for eight different people. The pilot studies are continuing and yielding results, corroborating that movement actions can be successfully measured.On Saturday, August 11, the next three lectures enthralled everyone. The Principal of Nonington College, Miss Ellinor Hinks, spoke on ”Educational Gymnastics”. Her invention of special equipment created and designed for the exploration of total body movement techniques, conceived and housed in a unique space-gymnasium, is highly effective in training young people who concentrate and inventively achieve far more than pure motor skills. Two films of her work “Movement in the Making, I & II”, demonstrated her new method. As films, they superbly illustrate the physical potentialities of movement with this new type of apparatus (the films can be rented or purchased).

Experiences in “Relevance” in Teaching Sociology

For twelve semesters I taught a day session course in a two year coll ge: an advance course i ind strial to enter management fields. When I taught the same course psychology, geared mainly toward young men who planned in the evening session, there were some older men and women, and some people who were in or planned to enter careers in buying and merchandising. While I taught this course, I developed a textbook and carefully worked over lesson plans and a lecture-discussion balance. If you had asked me, I would have said that the material in class was always and would have meant that I planned the material in the form of case examples all of which illustrated principles in managerial problem solving, and all of which referred to the fields in which students were enrolled and presumably vitally interested. The results so far as grades and class response were statistically the same in both sessions. But during the last four years there has been much talk about relevancy in courses offered in colleges. I too have developed other concepts about relevancy of specific courses and curricula. When I became a Dean of Students at a community college I became even more alert to the question of relevancy in courses through my readings and through first hand experience with activist students. At least in this one regard, activists appeared to me to be talking not only in their own interests but also for their more passive classmates, even though the latter went through the motions of studying any required subject and returning the material in a form acceptable to the in structor. Since my tenure at this college would be as Pro fessor of Sociology, I decided to undertake as a labor of love to teach a course in Sociology during the Summer Session. Moreover, I determined to approximate the same procedures of evaluation for tenure as my teaching col leagues faculty, and to be observed by the Dean of Faculty, by my Chairman, and by any other faculty member or administrator (such as the Dean of Summer Sessions) who cared to do so. I determined to make this course relevant to student interests, while keeping to the cur riculum as outlined by members of the faculty and as suring myself that the course would be truthful to the catalog and to the requirements of the four year colleges to which at least half of my students would be trans fering. This article reports some of my experiences. A former Dean of Faculty, now teaching Political Science, who independently is in the process of a similar approach encouraged me to write this article. I spent many hours preparing detailed notes for each of the 45 hour summer periods, covering six weeks with classes four days a week. I reread all of the material re quired and that recommended by the department, made extensive notes on all of the concepts covered, and allotted all of the concepts on the various topics to separate sessions. This gave me a deep appreciation of exactly how much work I was demanding of students in a six week period, for if it took me X hours to do this work with which I was already familiar, it would necessarily take a first or second year college student many more hours. It also provided me with a wealth of material so far as sociological concepts were concerned in a form which I could use, no matter what the students considered rele vant.

Three US proposals for heavy‐ion accelerator

A special evening session on heavyion accelerators was held during the Washington APS meeting to discuss three proposals to build such machines—at Argonne National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory. Although over the years many proposals have been put forth, the field in the US appears to have narrowed down to the three discussed at the meeting.

Records of Christianity. Volume I: In the Roman Empire ed. by David Ayerst, A. S. T. Fisher, and: History and Christianity by John Warwick Montgomery

BOOK REVIEWS 193 scientious and sincere seekers after God. Nevertheless, to one who has remained an " outsider " (insofar as he has not yet received the baptism of the Spirit) the attitudes and actions of many Pentecostals seem rather strange. We are not prepared to cope calmly with the more bizarre aspects of the " gifts," and our theological training as well as our cultural background has not equipped us to react in a non-judgmental fashion: some of us are prone to be " converted " on the spot, while others will take a very dim view of these festivities. We are quick to give negative labels to that which is alien to us or difficult for us to accept by temperament. In fact, it was a very simple aspect of the Pentecostal prayer-life which was the turning point for me in determining my present attitude toward the movement . I must confess the beginnings of a negative reaction on the second evening of the convention during which I was a concelebrant in a threeband -a-half hour marathon Mass. It was hot and humid, and it came as the evening session of an entire day spent in praying, discussing, and listening to lectures by the leaders of the movement. To me it seemed interminable; an especially disconcerting thing was their penchant for singing hymns of sixteen stanzas: when we had finally arrived at the last, they would as often as not begin singing stanza number one again, and so on all the way through. To make matters worse, when I had finally returned to the motel (praise God for air-conditioning!) and wished to slake my parched soul with a cold beer in the lounge, I was accosted by " the group " just back from the Mass, who strongly and enthusiastically urged me to accompany them to the lawn behind the motel where they were about to have a prayer-meeting. It was then that I made my decision; it was ice-cold and delicious! JAMES M. CAFONE Seton l/all University South Orange, New Jersey Records of Christianity. Volume 1: In the Roman Empire.

The first volume of the new series entitled Records of Christianity is a collection of source writings in translation attempting to illustrate various aspects of the history of the Church-especially personalities-from the reign of Nero to the pontificate of Leo I. The aim of the editors is primarily to introduce new students of the period to this material, and in fact most 194 BOOK REVIEWS of the selections are interesting and valuable from that point of view. However , some of the commentary provided by the editors tends to be theologically simplistic and even factually misleading, such as, for example, the statement on p. 188 that " the earliest Christians of Rome held their services in the catacombs." As an introduction to the history of the primitive Church this book is satisfactory, but J. Stevenson's two volumes (A New Eusebius and Creeds, Councils, and Controversies), which cover virtually the same span of time, continue to be the best available anthologies of early Christian writings in English translation both for beginners and for others. John Warwick Montgomery's slender paperback originated as two lectures , under the title of "Jesus Christ and History," which were delivered by the author at the University of British Columbia in 1968. They later became four magazine articles; these four essays, with an appendix in the form of a panel discussion, constitute the present book. The group of four essays is concerned with the Scriptural account of Jesus' activity, particularly in the light of a statement made by a previous lecturer at the University of British Columbia to the effect that 1) although ,Jesus probably did exist subsequent legends have almost totally obscured his true personality; ~) the Gospels were written long after Jesus' lifetime and are historically inadequate; and 8) Jesus' miracles as recorded in the Gospels have a very tenuous relation to reality. Montgomery's...

The Negative Approach

After we had analyzed the data, Dr. Burch, Thorpe Ray or I would write the first draft of a paper. The draft was then presented at our evening session at Dr. Burch's house. The first reaction of the other two to nearly every statement was “No.” The writer was then forced to defend his point, assuring a self-critical review by the team. Dr. Burch had taught us that if we had said “Yes,” there would be no discussion, no defense, no criticism. Thus, the negative approach guaranteed careful consideration of each statement in the second and numerous succeeding drafts of every paper prepared for publication or presentation.

Wrestling (American Style) with Proteus

NOVEL asked novelists and critics who were participating in its two-day conference at Brown on contemporary fiction to take part in an informal symposium on Friday morning, November 14, 1969, on current trends in American novel. The Friday morning session, which produced most exchanges reported here, was private and taped by NOVEL. On Friday evening panel, made up John Barth, R. V. Cassill, Leslie Fiedler, Frank Kermode, Robert Scholes and Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., was invited to pursue lines discussion that had been opened up in morning and to suggest, if possible, new critical terms or ways talking about novel. The evening session, open to public, was characterized by an interplay panel personalities which hampered useful dialogue but impressed most observers as good Absurd theatre. Robert Scholes chaired morning session and began by reading from a kind manifesto by an American writer, Ralph Ellison's address at National Book Award ceremony in 1953, called Brave Words for Startling Occasion. In his address Ellison recalled that in setting about to write Invisible Man he became aware that he had to find form and language able to render extreme fluidity and openness American life and to capture alive language swirling with over three hundred years American living. He came to feel also that except for . . . William Faulkner something vital had gone out American prose after Mark Twain, that American writers had lost their sense responsibility for condition democracy and their willingness to confront broad complexities American life. Consequently, he was to dream, he said, of prose which was flexible, and swift as American change is swift, confronting inequalities and brutalities our society forthrightly, but yet thrusting forth its images hope, human fraternity and individual self-realization. What had been missing from so much experimental writing to that time was the passionate will to dominate reality as well as laws art. Those who struggle with form and America must remember advice given to Menelaus when he was seeking his way home, that he must seize Proteus, and no matter how much Proteus struggles and what shapes he turns into, hold him fast and press him. When Proteus then finally turns into himself, he may be asked which god is angry and Menelaus will learn how he may find his way homewards.
