FOREWORD
This bulletin has been prepared to meet the demand for detailed information on the area-wide apprenticeship program in the machinist trade in St. Louis, Missouri, and vicinity. Reproduced in the following pages are the standards governing this program, with official letters of endorsement and other pertinent data.
This program was established in 1941, just prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor, by representatives of employers and employees in this area. Notwithstanding the necessity to train workers for war production through short-term methods, long-term apprentice training adopted in St. Louis to meet the demand for all-round skilled machinists has continued. Because of the progress and success of the program, regardless of wartime conditions, those concerned with apprentice training in other localities, not only in the machinist trade but in other trades as well, have requested copies of the data set forth herein. This data is presented, therefore, as a guide to interested groups and individuals in any trade in setting up and placing in operation a thorough step-by-step system for the training of all-round skilled workers.
Since this area-wide program was established, 55 companies in St. Louis have set up apprenticeship systems in their plants in accordance with the provisions and schedules set forth in these pages. By May 1943, nearly 260 apprentices had had the advantage of this training program, which includes 8,000 hours, or approximately 4 years, of instruction and experience on the job, supplemented by 144 hours each year of classroom study. To date, 8 of these apprentices, who were granted credits for past experience have already graduated, and are now full-fledged journeymen machinists.
During 1943, five machinist apprentices were on military leave. Only four of the total number of applicants accepted for training under this system have left their employers for other than military reasons.
With the inclusion of youths 18 years old among those called for military service, a very large majority of apprentices indentured during 1943 have been in the 16- and 17-year age group. Also, the Joint Machinist Apprenticeship Committee, which conducts the program, is recommending the employment of returned soldiers, honorably discharged because of injuries, who are able to perform the work in the trade, as well as men who do not qualify for combat service because of physical handicaps and those whose entry into military service has been postponed because of dependents.
Grateful acknowledgment is made by the Apprentice-Training Service to the members of the Joint Machinist Apprenticeship Committee and other representatives of employers and employees in St. Louis, for their courtesy and cooperation in the preparation of this bulletin.
WILLIAM F. PATTERSON, Director,
Apprentice-Training Service.
JOINTLY DEVELOPED AND ADOPTED BY EMPLOYERS AND EMPLOYEES
In recognition of the fact that the machinist trade is among the most important and most highly skilled of all the trades, representatives of employers and employees in St. Louis, Missouri, and vicinity, in cooperation with the Apprentice-Training Service,1 adopted and put into operation in 1941 the standards of apprenticeship set forth in the following pages. The purpose of these standards is to develop apprentices in all the practical and theoretical aspects of the trade throughout this area; to preserve and perpetuate the skills essential to true craftsmanship, and to build up and maintain the ranks of all-round skilled machinists.
In order to carry out the purpose of these standards, the Machinist Joint Apprenticeship Committee, equally representative of employers and employees, was established. The members of this committee, the functions of which are described in the standards, are as follows:
Representing employers F. Edward O’Neil, Chairman, President, Fulton Iron fForks Co. Wm. L. Gourley, President, Lehmann Machine Company. Richard W. Upshaw, Assistant General Manager, Anheuser-Busch, Inc. Willis G. Ehrhardt, President, Ehrhardt Tool & Machine Company.

1 In 1941, when these standards were adopted, the Apprentice-Training Service, which is the administrative body for the Federal Committee on Apprenticeship, was a unit of the Division of Labor Standards, U. S. Department of Labor. In 1942, Apprentice-Training Service was transferred, by Executive order, to the War Manpower Commission.

The above is an illustration of the various work processes or machines used in general machine-tool and die shops. However, few possess all the machines here listed and, therefore, in developing work processes consideration should be given to the type of work being done and the facilities available for training. Under any circumstances, the aggregate time should be 8,000 hours.
5. Related School Instruction, (a) The Committee shall cooperate with the school authorities in the preparation of courses and in other matters relating to apprentices’ classroom work.
(6) In compliance with the standards of the Federal Committee on Apprenticeship, each apprentice shall enroll in an approved school in classes for apprentices indentured under these standards and regularly attend for at least 144 hours per year. The time spent in such classes shall not be considered as hours of work unless the apprentice is required to attend classes during his regular working hours.
(c) In case of failure, without good cause, on the part of the apprentice to fulfill his obligations as to school attendance, the Committee may suspend or revoke the agreement. The Committee shall notify the registration agency of such suspension or revocation and the reason therefor.
6. Hours of Work for Apprentices. The work day and work week for apprentices and conditions associated therewith shall be the same as that of journeymen unless specified to the contrary by a bargaining agreement.

4
Apprentices who receive credit for previous experience shall be paid, upon entrance, the wage rate of the period to which such credit advances them. When credit is granted at some time subsequent to the start of the apprenticeship, the wage rate shall be advanced to the wage rate of the period in which such credit places the apprentice.
8. Periodic Examination. The Committee may examine the work and school records of apprentices before each period of advancement or at such other times as may be determined, giving consideration to school attendance, progress in school and on the job and such other items as are indicative of the apprentices’ development and make such recommendations as it considers desirable.
9. Ratio of Apprentices to Journeymen. One apprentice may be employed for every ten journeymen.
10. Apprenticeship Agreement. The apprentice and his parent or guardian (when he is a minor) shall sign an agreement which shall also be signed by the employer and approved by the Committee.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
Realizing that it is through cooperative effort that the best results are obtained. District No. 9, International Association of Machinists, has collaborated with Representative Employers of our craft and the Federal Committee on Apprenticeship in the development of these Standards of Apprenticeship. By so doing we are carrying out one of the cherished aims of our organization. We believe that the practical application of these standards will provide for an orderly and efficient system of apprenticeship training which should insure the development of more highly skilled craftsmen.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
First as a worker in our shops and later as one of the Management group, I have always thought machinist apprenticeship procedure lacked much that could easily be included with little difficulty and no expense. This applies particularly to the education in primary principles of mechanics.
It was with considerable satisfaction that I welcomed the movement on the part of the Department of Labor, in conjunction with the International Association of Machinists, to correct what I considered a glaring deficiency.
Obviously apprentices will be immediately benefited by this, new plan of operation; however, in the long run, Management will be the real gainer.
In the future, money paid out in wages by the employer to the machinists in his plant, will purchase a tremendously increased value of service by the group of apprentices now coming on and yet to be created, for the simple reason that from now on there will be much more incentive for the apprentice to apply himself and turn out a better job because of the complete understanding he will have of his trade and the various techniques involved in the practice of it.
This new movement will open up an era of machine shop practice that will re'flect great credit to those who initiated it and perfected it, and will result in much practical benefit to the workmen in the plant and the Management in the office.

To Whom It May Concern:
At this critical time, as probably never before in the history of our country, the demand for skilled mechanics of every description far exceeds the supply.
The movement on the part of the Department of Labor, in conjunction with the International Association of Machinists, to establish machinist apprenticeship standards was therefore particularly welcome. With the adoption of this plan of operation there should, and will be, immediate benefit to the young men who have chosen, and will choose, this particular vocation. This movement will also reflect to the ultimate benefit of Management to no uncertain degree.
It has been a genuine pleasure to help in a small way to formulate these standards and to endorse them most heartily now that they have received official acceptance.
Yours very truly,
R. W. UPSHAW, Assistant General Manager.

To Whom It May Concern:
Helping to formulate these Machinist Apprentice Standards has been a great privilege and endorsing them, after their official acceptance, is done most heartily.
Twenty—five years experience of supervising skilled machinists and tool-makers and of battling with the problems some workmen present because of lack of training makes me hope that hereafter all employers of machinist apprentices will not only adopt these standards, but will also make it a part of their job to see that the apprentice finishes his training in every detail.
One of the greatest pleasures in life is to help a youth become properly trained in the vocation of his choice. I am confident that the Apprentice Standards set forth in this agreement and their practical application will raise the standards of craftsmanship in our industry and prove of unlimited help to the country at large.
Very truly yours.

Mr. Lloyd Weber, Secretary
Machinist Joint Apprenticeship Committee
c-o International Association of Machinists, District No. 9
2345 Lafayette Avenue
St. Louis, Missouri.
Dear Mr. Weber:
We have received your letter requesting approval of the standards for machinist apprenticeship developed by your committee of members of Local District No. 9 and representative employers. I am pleased to advise you that I have approved the program for the Federal Committee on Apprenticeship as of this date.
The adoption of this program is surely an event of importance, not only in the St. Louis area but nationally, for the success that is certain to follow a continuing interest in the operation of the standards will greatly influence the development of sound apprenticeship in other localities.
I feel that I should express to you my compliments on the personal interest in apprenticeship which has prompted the sacrifice of time by each member in participating in the activities of the Joint Committee, and do not doubt that in the future every member will feel that the time has been well spent.
We are pleased that our field representatives, Mr. Custer and Mr. Walker, have been able to be of service to you and wish to assure you that they, as well as our regional office and we in Washington, will be ready to provide continuing assistance in the development of your apprenticeship program.
Very truly yours,
Wm. F. Patterson

Training Assistance available through Apprentice-Training Service
The services, briefly outlined below, are provided by field representatives of the Apprentice-Training Service to industries without cost to them:
1. Training apprentices.—Assistance is given in improving or inaugurating apprenticeship programs and providing suggestions on methods and techniques relating to the operation of such programs and on adapting apprenticeship to war production needs.
2. Training advancing workers.—Advisory assistance is provided regarding the training of advancing workers. These are workers being trained for skills of more limited scope than journeymen, but which require a fairly high degree of skill. The period of training for such workers is shorter than for apprentices but the problems of training are comparable.
3. Labor relations affecting training.—Assistance is provided in dealing with labor problems encountered with the operation of on-the-job training programs. Typical problems applying to training include: seniority rights, wages, number to be trained, hours of work, establishment of training schedules and break-down of operations, establishment of shifts, standards of selection, and supervision of trainees.
4. Supplementary labor agreements.—In plants where employees are organized, assistance is provided in preparing supplements to established bargaining agreements where the existing agreement is not sufficiently flexible for the war training and employment situation.
5. General.—In many instances assistance is also provided with regard to occupational deferments, employment requirements of Federal or State laws, and problems of production as they relate to training.
