THE   COVER 

A  pair  of  alert  quail  crouch  ready 
to  fly  in  a  whir  of  wings  on  our  Jan- 
uary cover.  If  their  readiness  portents 
the  future,  the  new  year  1972  is  oflf  to 
a  good  start. 

We  add  a  day  in  1972;  February 
29  is  with  us  again,  as  it  has  been 
every  four  years  since  the  time  of 
Julius  Caesar. 

In  early  history  a  lunar  calendar 
was  used,  but  when  man  settled  down 
into  communities  and  cultivated  crops, 
a  solar  calendar  which  coincided  with 
the  seasons  was  required.  This  raised 
many  problems,  as  the  time  taken  by 
the  Earth  to  complete  its  orbit 
around  the  sun  is  not  a  whole  number 
of  days.  The  orbital  period  is  365.242 
days,  or,  to  a  first  approximation. 
365.25  days.  To  account  for  the  odd 
quarter  day,  an  extra  calendar  day 
is  added  once  every  four  years. 

An  extra  day  in  the  new  year  means 
an  extra  day  of  wariness  for  our  wild- 
life. Bobwhite  quail,  for  example, 
have  an  annual  turnover  of  about 
85%!  Of  all  the  birds  produced  dur- 
ing a  summer  breeding  season — even 
if  not  a  single  shot  is  fired  by  a 
hunter — only  15%  will  be  alive  to 
reproduce  the  following  spring.  Na- 
tural predators,  the  weather,  and  even 
pesticides  now  take  their  toll. 


International  Signs 
Two  Major  Agreements 

New  Chimney,  Stack,  and  Silo  and  Cooling 
Tower  Agreements  Set  Stage  for  More  Anti- 
Pollution  Jobs  for  Three  Building  Trades 


■  Three  Building  and  Construc- 
tion Trades  Unions — the  Carpenters, 
the  Laborers,  and  the  Iron  Workers 
— recently  signed  joint  agreements 
with  major  contractors  in  chimney, 
stack,  silo,  and  cooling  tower  con- 
struction which  promise  to  open  up 
greater  job  opportunities  in  the  fight 
against  environmental  pollution. 

One  international  agreement,  cov- 
ering work  on  chimneys,  stacks  and 
silos,  takes  the  place  of  an  agree- 
ment signed  in  1968  and  known  as 
the  Reinforced  Concrete  Chimney 
Composite  Crew  Agreement.  Its 
major  change  is  the  addition  of 
standards  for  slip-form  construction, 
a  revolutionary  building  technique 
which  was  not  being  used  exten- 
sively in  North  America  when  the 
previous  agreement  was  signed. 

The  second  agreement  covers  an- 
other recent  innovation  in  North 
American  construction — the  erec- 
tion of  hyperbolic  cooling  towers. 
Such  cooling  towers  have  been  wide- 
ly used  in  other  countries,  but  the 
first  one  was  not  erected  in  the 
United  States  until  1962. 

The  two  agreements  were  signed 
at  Bal  Harbour.  Fla.,  in  November. 
The  cooling  tower  agreement  was 
applicable  to  all  projects  bid  after 
November  11.  1971.  The  Chimney, 
Stack  and  Silo  Agreement  went  into 
effect  January  1.  1972. 

Basically,  the  agreements  provide 
for  harmonious  and  compatible  re- 
lationships among  the  three  crafts 
and  the  employers.  They  eliminate 
existing  inequities  which  exist  in  lo- 
cal area  agreements  and  the  neces- 
sity of  the  employers  to  interpret 
local  agreements.  They  also  help 
to  prevent  encroachments  by  non- 
union or  open-shop  contractors  in 
this  vital  field  of  work. 


The  agreements  establish  equi- 
table, uniform  standards  of  premi- 
um pay  compensation  to  insure  the 
standardization  of  premiums  for  the 
three  crafts  involved.  They  also 
simplify  the  bidding  process  for  af- 
fected employers. 

The  new  agreements  will  super- 
cede all  "high  time",  special  skill, 
and  condition  premium  pay  clauses 
contained  in  local  agreements.  In 
addition,  the  new  pacts  include  pre- 
mium pay,  shift  schedules  and  many 
other  provisions  governing  the  work. 

Slip-form  construction  will  be  on 
a  craft  line  basis,  but  there  may  be 
exceptions  to  this  where  it  is  prac- 
tical and  essential  to  perform  this 
work  on  a  composite-crew  basis. 
Such  determination  will  be  made  in 
accordance  with  Article  3,  "Pre-Job 
Conferences,"  which  is  required 
prior  to  the  commencement  of  any 
work. 

The  two  agreements  cover  work 
in  an  area  which  is  fast  growing  in 
national  and  international  impor- 
tance. There  is  increasing  public 
demand  that  American  industry  cut 
down  its  smoke  pollution  and  its 
contamination  of  our  rivers  and 
lakes.  The  erection  of  super-tall 
chimneys  and  hyperbolic  water- 
cooling  towers  are  two  ways  scien- 
tists claim  that  pollution  problems 
can  be  licked. 

Studies  conducted  in  Great  Brit- 
ain and  the  United  States  indicate 
that  ground-level  concentration  of 
sulphur  dioxide  and  other  pollutants 
emitted  from  smoke  stacks  can  be 
reduced  drastically  by  the  erection 
of  high  chimneys.  One  enthusiastic 
researcher  concludes  that  high  stacks 
almost  eliminate  the  air-pollution 
problem  altogether.

THE    CARPENTER      ■»-. 


In  any  case,  major  power  compa- 
nies like  Commonwealth  Edison, 
Ohio  Edison,  International  Nickel, 
and  American  Electric  Power  are 
moving  up  to  higher  elevations  with 
their  smoke  stacks  to  cut  the  amount 
of  waste  products  entering  the  at- 
mosphere at  their  production  plants. 
The  world's  tallest,  to  date,  is  a 
1,250-foot  giant — the  same  height 
as  the  Empire  State  Building — which 
replaces  three  much-lower  chimneys 
and    successfully   disperses    smelter 


gas  for  International  Nickel  in  Sud- 
bury, Ontario. 

Slip-form  construction  is  a  tech- 
nique perfected  in  Germany.  Com- 
pared to  the  conventional  jump- 
forming  technique  (in  which  a  pre- 
determined height  of  chimney  is 
poured  in  concrete  forms  and  left  to 
harden  before  more  height  can  be 
added),  the  slipforming  technique 
makes  it  possible  to  build  the  chim- 
ney walls  on  a  continuous  basis,

usually  around-the-clock. 

Slipforming  uses  two  movable 
collars  which  become  the  inside  and 
outside  forms  of  the  chimney.  The 
collars,  though,  are  not  solid  rings. 
Each  collar  is  made  up  of  overlap- 
ping steel  plates  which  are  four  and 
five  feet  deep,  and,  as  the  chimney 
goes  up,  the  plates  squeeze  together 
to  create  the  necessary  taper.  Chim- 
neys are  erected  in  weeks  instead 
of  months,  which  is  an  important 
factor  in  the  fight  against  pollution. 

The  other  new  type  of  structure 
covered  by  a  joint  agreement — the 
hyperbolic  cooling  tower  —  elimi- 
nates ground  fogging,  which  is  some- 
times unavoidable  in  the  operation 
of  lower-height,  conventional  cool- 
ing towers.  They  have  a  longer 
service  life,  lower  operating  costs, 
and  they  provide  an  adequate 
amount  of  condenser  cooling  water 
at  any  site  that  has  available  only 
3%  of  the  total  water  volume  re- 
quired by  the  plant.  They  are  of 
particular  value  at  nuclear  power 
plants,  which  are  increasing  in  num- 
ber in  North  America. 

The  two  agreements  assure  that 
these  modern,  and  progressive  con- 
struction techniques  will  "bear  the 
union  label"  in  the  years  ahead.  ■

Compared  to  the  conventional  jump  forming  technique  (in  which  a  pre- 
determined height  of  chimney  is  poured  in  concrete  forms  and  left  to  harden 
before  more  height  can  be  added),  the  slipforming  technique  makes  it  possible 
to  build  chimney  nails  in  neeks  instead  of  months. 

Slipforming  uses  tno  movable  collars  which  become  the  outside  and  inside 
forms  of  the  chimney.  The  collars  are  not  solid  rings,  but  a  series  of  overlap- 
ping steel  plates.  As  the  chimney  goes  up,  the  plates  squeeze  together  to  create 
the  necessary  taper.  The  plates  are  attachd  to  yoke  assemblies.  What  holds 
up  the  yokes  and,  in  turn,  the  collars,  are  jack  rods  imbedded  in  the  concrete 
walls.  On  each  yoke  are  two  double-acting  hydraulic  jacks,  which  grip  the 
jack  rods  and  move  up  upon  them  as  the  concrete  rises. 

The  structure  is  a  homogenous  mass,  because  the  process  of  pouring  con- 
crete, reinforcing  the  structure  with  steel  reinforcing  rods,  and  moving  the 
slipforms  in  a  24-hour  operation.

Work  on  Hyperbolic 
Water  Cooling  Towers 

■  A  $180  million  nuclear  power 
plant  now  under  construction  near 
Sacramento,  Calif.,  may  be  the  fore- 
runner of  a  new  kind  of  atomic 
energy  installation — one  which  can 
bring  smog-free,  non-water-pollut- 
ing industrial  energy  to  many  inland 
communities  of  North  America. 

The  Rancho  Seco  Nuclear  Power 
Plant  near  the  California  capital  will 
be,  upon  completion  in  1973,  the 
only  large  nuclear  plant  in  the  United 
States  not  on  a  body  of  water.  It 
will  obtain  sufficient  cooling  water 
from  the  nearby  Folsom  -  South 
Canal  and  will  recirculate  the  water 
through  cooling  towers,  so  that  the 
plant  will  not  discharge  water  into 
any  streams,  and,  being  a  nuclear 
plant,  will  not  add  hydrocarbons 
to  the  atmosphere. 

Hyperbolic  cooling  towers  make 
the  inland  installation  possible.  This 
type  of  water  cooUng  only  recently 
appeared  on  the  American  indus- 
trial scene,  after  having  been  widely 
used  in  many  foreign  countries  for 
decades.  Their  advantage  is  that 
they  provide  an  adequate  volume 
of  condenser  cooling  water  at  any 
site  that  has  available  only  3%  of 
the  total  water  volume  required  by 
the  plant.  With  this  advantage, 
plant  designers  can  locate  generat- 
ing stations  near  to  the  fuel  source; 
less  real  estate  is  required,  and, 
usually,  land  cost  is  less  than  in 
areas  with  adequate  total  water 
resources. 

Hyperbolic  cooling  towers  oper- 
ate on  natural  draft,  and  no  fans  are 
required.  As  a  consequence,  oper- 
ating cost  is  minimal.  Also,  since  no 
mechanical  equipment  is  used  in  the 
tower,  maintenance  costs  are  much 
lower  than  usually  incurred  in  the 
operating  of  conventional  mechani- 
cal draft  water  cooling  towers.

and  utilization  of  construction  mate-

Twin  cooling  towers,  43  stories  tall,  are  part  of  the  913  megawatt  Rancho  Seco 
nuclear  power  plant  developed  by  Bechtel  Corporation  for  the  Sacramento,  Calif., 
Municipal  Utility  District.  Site  of  the  towers  is  23  miles  southeast  of  Sacramento, 
near  the  foothills  of  Northern  California's  famed  Mother  Lode  Country.  The  project 
employs  members  of  the  Brotherhood,  plus  union  Laborers,  Ironworkers,  Cement 
Masons,  Operating  Engineers,  and  Teamsters. 


tection  against  natural  deterioration 
assure  a  long  service  life  for  the 
tower. 

Industrial  planners  anticipate  tre- 
mendous growth  in  power  generat- 
ing facilities  in  the  years  ahead, 
doubling  every  decade.  A  growing 
demand  for  the  hyperbolic  towers 
is   expected. 

The  major  portion  of  the  work 
on  these  towers,  as  in  the  erection 
of  chimneys  and  stacks,  is  borne  by 
the  three  crafts — the  Carpenters, 
Laborers,  and  Ironworkers.  Work- 
ers are  now  covered,  for  the  most 
part,  by  the  agreement  described  on 
Pages  2,  3  and  4  of  this  issue  of 
The  Carpenter. 

The  Bechtel  Corporation  is  mas- 


ter contractor  for  the  Rancho  Seco 
Plant,  but  contractor  for  the  tower 
work  is  Research  Cottrell,  a  signa- 
tory to  the  aforementioned  agree- 
ment. The  first  pre-job  conference 
was  held  on  July  22,  1969.  Approx- 
imately 40  workers  were  employed 
at  the  peak  of  the  project — 20  Car- 
penters, 17  Laborers,  13  Ironwork- 
ers, 4  Cement  Masons,  5  Operators, 
and  1  Teamster.  It  was  a  jump-form 
installation,  each  tower  rising  600 
feet  and  running  50  feet  wide. 

A  160-acre  water  reservoir, 
called  Rancho  Seco  Lake,  has  been 
prepared  as  standby  cooling  water. 
It  has  a  40-mile  shoreUne  and  will 
be  open  to  the  public  for  recrea- 
tional use.  ■ 


JANUARY,    1972 


■  It's  hardly  news  to  report  that 
they  do  things  big  in  Texas.  A  few 
issues  of  The  Carpenter  ago  we  told 
of  the  world's  largest  and  finest  air- 
port being  built  between  Fort  Worth 
and  Dallas.  This  time,  we  tell  you 
about  the  world's  finest  football 
facility,  home  of  one  of  the  world's 
finest  professional  football  teams, 
the  Dallas  Cowboys. 

The  Cowboys  began  their  1971 
season  in  a  $15  million  open-domed 
stadium,  even  bigger  and  better  than 
the  famed  Astrodome  in  Houston. 
The  new  facility  boasts,  among 
many  extras,  65,000  contoured, 
theater-style  seats,  all  protected  by 


The  super  .sladium  is  surruunded  by  :i  vast  parking  lot  and  is  fed  by  live  express- 
ways. It  has  covered  walks  from  the  parking  areas  to  the  entrance  portals.  Sellout 
crowds  can  be  easily  accommodated.  The  partial  free-span  roof  keeps  the  spectators 
dry  in  all  weather,  but  lets  in  Texas  sunshine  for  gridiron  action.  From  58,000  to 
65,000  spectators  can  be  accommodated.

the  sidelines,  78  concession  centers, 
escalators  serving  all  concourses, 
and  a  series  of  circle  suites  which 
ring  the  stadium  and  which  were 
purchased  for  $50,000  each  as  City 
of  Irving  Revenue  bonds  by  wealthy 
Texans  and  their  private  firms. 

The  constmction  work  was  under 
contract  to  the  J.  W.  Bateson  Com- 
pany, and  hundreds  of  carpenters, 
members  of  Dallas  Local  198,  were 
employed. 


The  stadium  was  a  major  dem- 
onstration of  craft  skill  in  concrete 
forming.  Complex  prebuilt  forms, 
suppHed  by  two  companies  Economy 
Forms  Corp.  and  Symons  Form  Co. 
were  used. 

From  the  main  concourse,  which 
is  grade  level,  the  lower  deck  seat- 
ing was  poured  on  grade  down  to 
the  playing  field.  Directly  above 
the  main  concourse  are  two  levels 
of  private  boxes  (the  circle  suites), 
followed  by  the  upper  concourse 
and  the  upper  deck  seating.  To  sup- 
port the  precast  seating  of  the  upper 
deck,  96  riser  beams  were  installed 


around  the  stadium,  supported  by 
2-foot-square  columns. 

High  early  concrete  was  used  on 
riser  beams,  walkway  beams,  and  in 
other  ways  to  keep  the  work  on 
schedule. 

There  were  numerous  dowel-out 
conditions  at  varying  elevations  in 
the  columns  for  sloping  ramp 
beams.  This  was  handled  with  bolt- 
on  face  sheets  in  varying  lengths 
and  with  pre-punched  dowel  holes. 
Even  with  the  dowel  conditions  the 
column  forms  were  cycled  every 
two  days  by  five-man  crews.  This 
included  setting  the  rebars,  which 
went  up  with  the  forms.  ■ 


Symons  steel-ply  forms  are  used  on  these  circular  walls. 
With  the  forms  and  small  fillers,  a  curve  can  be  held 
with  a  minimum  of  walling  and  hracing. 


A  form  for  a  riser  beam  is  made  ready  at  the  job  site. 
The  74-foot  beams  were  formed  with  four  sets  of  plate 
girder  forms  set  on  adjustable  support  brackets.

Members  of  Dallas  area  local  unions  set  up  a  form  for  concrete

the  contractor.

ROUNDUP 


NO  LIE  DETECTORS— An  employer  cannot  discharge  a  worker  for  refusing  to  sulsmit 
to  a  polygraph  or  "lie  detector"  test  involving  questions  about  his  love  life 
or  his  union  a.ctivities,  a  trial  examiner  for  the  National  Labor  Relations  Board 
has  ruled.  The  Board  ordered  three  employees  reinstated  with  full  back  pay. 
They  had  been  discharged  because  they  refused  to  take  a  lie  detector  test  in  which 
they  would  be  required  to  answer  questions  on  whether  they  had  violated  a 
company  policy  forbidding  employees  to  date  each  other. 

SUPERTREE— A  research  geneticist  at  the  National  Arboretum  in  Washington  is  trying 
to  develop  a  new  kind  of  tree,  one  that  will  survive  the  stresses  and  pollutants 
of  an  urban  environment  of  the  1970's.  A  city  tree  seldom  dies  of  old  age, 
says  the  researcher.  He  is  cross-breeding  20  different  kinds  of  trees  in  an 
attempt  to  achieve  the  best  city  tree  possible. 

COMPUTER  LOG-CUTTING— Rep .  Julia  Butler  Hansen,  Washington  Democrat,  recently 
described  to  the  House  of  Representatives  how  computers  will  soon  invade  sawmills 
and  increase  the  amount  of  lumber  which  can  be  cut  from  each  log.  Advanced 
computer  technology  helps  to  position  each  log  for  the  critical  first  cut,  she 
reported,  then  calculates  sizes  and  amounts  of  cuts  as  the  log  continues 
under  the  saws . 

AN  AUTO'S  $11,000  BILL— The  average  American  spends  $11,000  to  operate  an  auto- 
mobile during  its  average  lifetime,  according  to  Congressman  Seymour  Halpern, 
New  York  Republican.  This  figure  covers  the  expense  to  buy  an  economical  car,  to 
park  it,  and  to  keep  it  moving.  His  study  shows  that  the  car  owner  spends 
about  $2,037  for  gasoline,  tires,  and  oil  and  about  $1,805  for  parking  and  tolls. 

ADDITIONAL  PAID-UP  Gl  INSURANCE?— A  Congressional  bill  which  provides  that  dividends 
may  be  used  to  purchase  additional  paid-up  National  Service  Life  Insurance  has 
passed  the  Senate  and  gone  to  the  President  for  signature.  "Many  veterans, 
particularly  those  of  World  War  II,  desire  to  purchase  additional  government 
life  insurance  with  their  dividends,  as  they  are  generally  permitted  to  do  with 
private, commercial  policies.  This  bill  will  make  that  option  available  to 
approximately  4.4  million  NSLI  policyholders,"  says  Sen.  Vance  Hartke  of  Indiana, 
who  pushed  the  legislation  through. 

PLENTY  OF  NOTHING— At  a  meeting  of  AFL-CIO  price  monitors  here  an  Internal 
Revenue  Service  spokesman  was  explaining  Phase  II  enforcement  to  union  members. 
He  told  them  violators  will  have  to  refund  any  overcharges  to  their  customers. 

"How  will  the  customer  know  they  have  money  coming?"  asked  one  unionist. 

"The  store  has  to  tell  them,"  said  the  technician.  "IRS  will  not  divulge 
any  information  to  a  third  party,  even  the  one  who  made  the  complaint." 

MODEL  JOB  SAFETY  LAW— The  framework  of  a  model  job  safety  law  for  states  has  been 
issued  by  the  APL-CIO  for  use  in  organized  labor's  coming  drive  in  legislatures 
across  the  country  for  enactment  of  effective  occupational  safety  and  health 
measures. 

The  working  model,  distributed  to  all  affiliated  unions  and  state  labor 
bodies,  incorporates  the  key  features  of  the  existing  federal  Occupational  Safety 
&  Health  Act,  which  could  be  diluted  by  ineffective  state  standards  and  enforce- 
ment. 

NAMED  TO  BOARD— John  A.  Penello,  regional  director  for  the  National  Labor  Rela- 
tions Board  at  Baltimore  and  a  34-year  NLRB  career  man,  has  been  nominated  by 
Pres.  Nixon  for  a  five-year  term  as  a  Labor  Board  member. 

Penello,  a  Democrat,  is  the  third  Nixon  nominee  to  the  board.   Penello 's 
confirmation  would  mean  a  board  composed  of  three  Republicans  and  two  Democrats. 
He  would  succeed  Gerald  A.  Brown. 

Beginning  as  a  field  examiner  for  the  NLRB  in  1937  at  Baltimore.   Penello 
worked  his  way  up  through  the  ranks  of  the  agency.

■  U.S.  Representative  Edith  Green  recently  at- 
tended dedication  ceremonies  for  Forest  Service  hous- 
ing facilities  built  by  Job  Corpsmen  at  Timber  Lake 
Job  Corps  Center  in  Oregon. 

Young  men  trained  in  carpentry  by  Brotherhood 
instructors  and  their  leaders  conducted  Mrs.  Green 
on  a  tour  of  the  camp  and  the  first  two  of  nine  houses 
being  built  by  the  trainees. 

It  was  a  revealing  tour  for  the  veteran  Congress- 
woman,  and  she  praised  the  cooperative  work  of  the 
Brotherhood  and  the  US  Forest  Service  in  making 
the  program  possible. 

The  camp,  near  Estacada,  Ore.,  has  been  open  since 
1968,  and  it  has  a  current  enrollment  of  60  Job  Corps 
trainees,  referred  there  by  federal  employment  offices 
throughout  the  nation. 

The  houses  dedicated  during  Mrs.  Green's  visit 
were  two  of  nine  planned  to  accommodate  Forest 
Service  personnel  who  work  in  the  Mt.  Hood  National 
Forest  out  of  the  Ripplebrook  Ranger  Station.  Corps- 
men  built  the  houses  in  training  toward  an  apprentice- 
ship in  the  building  trades. 

Coordinator  of  the  carpentry  program  is  Carl  Hen- 
dren  of  Local  1020.  Instructors  include  Earl  Mooney 
and  Norman  Buckner  of  Local  2416;  Art  G.  Izer  and 
Elmore  R.  Reese,  Sr.,  Local  226;  and  Eugene  Ben-

Brotherhood's  Job  C 


■  "Lost  and  Found,"  a  half  hour  color  film  telling 
the  story  of  the  partnership  between  the  Jobs  Corps 
and  five  building  trades  unions — including  our  own 
Brotherhood — was  shown  to  the  press  and  labor  offi- 
cials at  a  special  reception  in  Washington,  D.C.,  last 
month.  It  will  now  be  made  available  for  public  and 
union  showings. 

The  film  features  Job  Corps  trainees  learning  the 
skills  required  to  get  and  keep  a  job  in  the  construction 
industry,  and  is  narrated  by  Greg  Morris  of  T.V.'s 
"Mission  Impossible"  fame. 

The  story  narrows  down  to  a  capsule  glance  at  five 
corpsmen — first  picking  them  up  before  they  knew 
about  Job  Corps,  following  them  through  their  union 
training,  and  finally,  showing  how  they  are  dispatched 
to  high  paying  jobs  as  members  of  their  craft  unions. 

The  film  shows  classroom  instruction  and  on-the- 
job  training  in  the  trades  of  painting,  carpentry,  brick- 
laying, plastering  and  heavy  equipment  operation,  as 
well  as  providing  insight  into  other  features  of  the 
Job  Corps,  such  as  individual  counseling,  group  liv- 
ing and  athletics. 

Job  placement  of  Corpsmen  successfully  complet- 
ing their  union  sponsored  programs  has  been  94%, 
substantially  higher  than  the  placement  rate  for  non- 
union programs.  The  rate  of  trainees  completing  the 
union  program  is  also  significantly  higher,  and  aver- 
age hourly  earnings  of  union-placed  trainees  are  more 
than  50%  higher  than  those  of  other  graduates.  While 
placement  of  trainees  has  been  difficult  during  the 
past  year  because  of  the  slump  in  construction  activity, 
better  than  nine  out  of  ten  of  the  graduates  have 
found  a  new  future  working  alongside  the  nation's 
construction  craftsmen.  ■

■  Jerome  Kovis,  director  of  the  Marsing,  Idaho, 
Civilian  Conservation  Center  recently  turned  over  the 
keys  of  the  completed  comfort  station  at  Parma,  Idaho, 
to  Mayor  Fred  Newman. 

The  new  building  is  on  park  grounds  recently  re- 
claimed from  swamp  land  by  the  City  of  Parma.  It 
will  be  used  as  a  comfort  facility  for  motorists  in  the 
area,  who  will  also  be  able  to  stay  overnight  at  the 
park.  The  comfort  station  was  built  to  sustain  mini- 
mum damage  by  vandals.  It  measures  32'  x  16'  and 
is  made  with  reinforced  concrete  walls  formed  to  re- 
semble wood  planks.  The  roof  is  beam  and  timber 
deck.  The  building  is  equipped  with  dressing  rooms, 
shower  facilities  and  a  machinery-and-storage  room 
between  the  restrooms. 

Extensive  training  for  Corpsmen  in  form  work  was 
received  in  forming  and  pouring  the  reinforced  con- 
crete walls.  The  wood-grain  plank  effect  was  created 
by  applying  rough  1"  x  12"  to  the  face  of  the  outside 
concrete  forms  before  placing  the  concrete.  Corpsmen 
also  received  training  in  rough  framing  while  installing 
interior  partitions  and  the  beam  and  timber-deck  roof 
system.  Inside  finish  work  of  installing  room  partitions, 
hanging  doors  and  inside  trim  provided  training  in 
finish  work. 

The  carpentry  training  was  under  the  supervision 
of  Roger  Whitney  of  the  Brotherhood.  Kenneth 
Wheeler,  coordinator  of  the  carpenter  program  at  the 
center,  worked  with  him. 

Under  the  supervision  of  James  Loveless,  the  union 
painting  instructor,  trainees  painted  the  building  when 
the  Job  Corps  carpenters  were  finished. 

The  project  provided  a  total  of  4,960  hours  of  car- 
pentry and  painting  training  to  complete.  ■ 


B  The  first  trainee  at  Treasure  Lake  Job  Corps 
Center  to  earn  the  Brotherhood  patch — signifying  his 
successful  completion  of  training — was  a  young  man 
named  John  Waller  of  Texarkana,  Texas. 

Recently,  General  Executive  Board  Member  Fred 
Bull  and  Center  Coordinator  Arthur  W.  Rice  arranged 
for  Waller  to  be  interviewed  by  J.  W.  Jackson,  busi- 
ness representative  of  Local  977,  Wichita  Falls,  Tex., 
regarding  apprenticeship  training.  Jackson,  in  turn, 
contacted  George  Ross,  Jr.,  a  partner  of  Reid-Ross 
Construction  Company.  Waller  was  hired  and  became 
an  apprentice  under  Journeyman  John  Womack,  the 
state's  No.  2  apprentice  champ  two  year's  before. 

Womack  spoke  highly  of  his  new  apprentice. 

"I  have  never  worked  with  a  man  who  has  shown 
more  desire  to  learn  than  Johnny,"  he  said.  "I  can 
be  sure  that  he  will  complete  any  task  I  give  him 
without  constant  supervision.  He  has  retained  a  lot 
of  what  he  was  taught  in  Job  Corps.  This  is  evident  in 
his  day-to-day  work.  I  foresee  a  secure  future  for 
Johnny  in  carpentry,  and  I  cannot  praise  too  highly 
the  work  that  is  being  done  by  the  Brotherhood  in 
these  programs,  giving  young  men  a  second  chance 
to  build  good  futures  for  themselves." 

Waller  paid  a  return  visit  to  the  Job  Corps  Center 
at  Treasure  Lake,  which  is  located  in  the  foothills  of 
the  Wichita  Mountains,  25  miles  west  of  Lawton, 
Oklahoma.  He  made  a  short  speech  to  the  young  men

Republican  Governors  See  Union-Produced 
Modular  Units  Assembled  in  Demonstration 

General  President  Hutcheson  discusses  Brotherhood  housing  goals 


■  The  governors  of  more  than 
20  states  witnessed  a  demonstration 
of  the  capabilities  of  industrialized 
housing  to  meet  the  nation's  shelter 
needs,  November  19,  at  French 
Lick,  Ind. 

The  demonstration,  on  the  pro- 
gram of  the  Republican  Governors 
Conference,  was  staged  by  National 
Homes  Corporation,  the  country's 
largest  home  manufacturer,  which 
employs  approximately  2.400  Broth- 
erhood members. 

With  key  federal,  state  and  local 
officials  watching.  National  Homes 
set  the  last  of  fo\ir  12'  by  48'  3-di- 
mensional  modular  cubes  to  form  a 
townhouse  with  two  965  square  foot 
living  units.  The  cubes  were  com- 
pletely finished  and  assembled  in  the 
company's  Lafayette,  Indiana,  plant, 
by  members  of  Local  2601,  hauled 
to  the  site  on  special  carriers  and 
erected  by  crane. 

The  living  units  were  open  to  in- 
spection by  the  governors  and  their 
guests  almost  immediately  after  the 
final  cube  was  erected.  Each  living 
unit  has  a  living  room,  3  bedrooms, 
kitchen  and  I'i  baths.  The  exte-

ABOUT  NATIONAL  HOMES 

Nalional  Homes  i>>  one  of  the 
largest  employers  of  the  Carpenters 
and  Joiners  in  the  United  Slates, 
employing  approximately  2.400 
men.  Our  first  contract  was  nego- 
tiated in  June,  1941.  Local  2601 
was  formed  in  the  Lafayette,  In- 
diana plant. 

All  National  modular  homes 
and  most  of  their  mobile  homes 
carry  the  Carpenters  and  Joiners 
label.  We  have  organized  12  of 
their  plants  across  the  country.  Be- 
cause of  the  Carpenters  and  Joiners 
label  on  their  products,  the  building 
trades  handle  their  products  in  the 
entire  United  States  and  its  posses- 
sions. 

They  use  the  best  materials  and 
produce  housing  of  fine  quality.

tectural  trim.  On  the  interior,  the 
walls  are  vinyl  covered  for  easy 
housekeeping,  and  the  textured  ceil- 
ings have  an  acoustical  quality. 

The  townhouses,  which  have  steel 
floor  joists  and  wall  studs,  utilize 
construction  techniques  developed 
by  National  Homes  for  its  Opera- 
tion Breakthrough  systems.  The  ob- 
jective of  Operation  Breakthrough, 
sponsored  by  the  U.  S.  Department 
of  Housing  and  Urban  Development, 
is  to  develop  new  methods  and  ma- 
terials to  increase  the  supply  of 
quality  homes  and  to  improve  the 
life  styles  of  American  families. 

These  3-dimcnsional  modular 
homes  are  relocatable.  They  have 
since  been  disassembled  by  National 
Homes  and  moved  to  the  Operation 
Breakthrough  site  in  Indianapolis, 
where  National  Homes  is  one  of  the 
contract  builders. 

Indiana  Governor  Edgar  D.  Whit- 


comb,  host  to  the  Conference,  said 
that  "as  Governors,  we  are  keenly 
sensitive  to  the  shelter  needs  of  fam- 
ilies in  our  states. 

"We  can  subscribe,"  he  continued, 
"to  the  National  Housing  Goal — 
established  by  Congress — to  provide 
decent  housing  in  a  suitable  environ- 
ment for  every  American  family. 

James  R.  Price,  Chairman  of  the 
Board  and  Chief  Executive  Officer 
of  National  Homes  Corporation, 
said  that  the  company's  Operation 
Breakthrough  systems  include  both 
2-  and  3-dimensional  modular  units 
that  could  be  used  for  single-family 
homes,  townhouses  and  garden 
apartments. 

"I  have  been  saying — and  prov- 
ing— for  more  than  30  years,"  said 
Mr.  Price,  "that  the  assembly-line 
methods  of  modern  industry  pro- 
vide the  best  way  to  build  homes 
for  families  at  every  income  level.

THE    CARPENTER 


"From  the  very  beginning,"  he 
continued,  "our  objective  has  been 
to  manufacture  as  much  of  the  home 
in  the  plant  as  possible.  There,  un- 
der controlled  conditions,  we  are 
able  to  use  the  most  advanced  tech- 
nology, supervise  the  work  and  con- 
trol the  quality.  Certainly  the  in- 
dustrialization of  home  building  does 
make  a  substantial  contribution  to 
cutting  costs  and  conserving  skilled 
labor." 

On  August  3,  1971,  National 
Homes  delivered  its  400,000th 
home,  a  feat  without  parallel  in  the 
housing  industry.  The  company's 
20  plants  serve  more  than  2,000 
builders  in  39  states  east  of  the 
Rockies. 

Edward  Durell  Stone,  a  Fellow 
of  the  American  Institute  of  Archi- 
tects, recalled  that  he  had  worked 
successfully  with  the  National 
Homes  systems  in  developing  an 
architectural  concept  for  Operation 
Breakthrough. 

Pointing  out  that  the  National 
Homes  systems  have  "unlimited  flex- 
ibility," Mr.  Stone  added:  "We 
found  that  the  modular  system  of 
construction  applied  to  all  problems 
of  community  housing." 

M.  A.  Hutcheson,  General  Presi- 
dent of  the  Brotherhood  of  Carpen- 
ters and  Joiners,  said  our  union  is 
dedicating  its  capabilities  to  meet- 
ing the  National  Housing  Goal  of 
26  million  new  homes  over  a  10- 
year  period. 

"Members  of  the  Carpenters  Un- 
ion are  fully  aware  of  the  critical 
housing  problem  facing  our  nation 
today,"  he  said.  "We  feel,  as  do  all 
of  you,  a  great  sense  of  urgency  in 
tackling  this  problem  and  finding  a 
workable  solution. 

"Our  union  wants  its  members 
— and  all  Americans — to  have  the 
right  kind  of  ^ 
shelter  in  the 
right  kind  of  en- 
vironment. 

"What  you  see 
here  today  is  the 
beginning  of  a 
new  era  in  which 
everyone  will 
profit,"  he  con- 
cluded. ■  JAMES  PRICE

ANADIAN 


Unemployment  Rises  Higher,  Like  the 
Snow,  As  Construction  Backlog  Piles  Up 

Canadians  enjoy  a  white  Christmas 
and  the  shimmering  glow  of  fresh- 
failing  snow,  but  few  are  hankering 
for  the  weight  of  snowfalls  which  hit 
many  parts  of  Canada  last  year,  in- 
cluding the  nation's  capital,  Ottawa. 

In  most  of  the  Ottawa  Valley  snow 
drifted  as  high  as  1 5  feet,  two  stories 
of  a  house,  and  that  took  some  shovel- 


mg. 

But  that  wasn't  the  worst  disaster 
to  strike  Ottawa.  Most  Canadians  say 
it  was  high  unemployment  arising 
largely  from  misguided  economic  poli- 
cies. 

This  year  the  snow  may  not  reach 
so  high,  but  the  unemployment,  as 
these  columns  have  related,  has  risen 
higher.  This  could  make  for  a  gloomy 
winter  for  many  thousands. 

So  not  long  before  Christmas.  Prime 
Minister    Trudeau    was    scheduled    to 


visit  Washington  and  confer  with  Presi- 
dent Nixon.  The  major  subject  of  his 
talks  was  economic  relations  between 
Canada  and  the  United  States. 

A  few  days  before  he  left  he  tried 
to  say  some  cheering  words. 

He  told  the  people  of  Canada, 
through  an  address  to  a  blacktie  busi- 
ness audience  in  Toronto,  that  the 
current  expansion  of  the  Canadian 
economy  is  so  strong  "that  our  rate  of 
growth  for  1971  as  a  whole  will  likely 
exceed  that  in  every  other  major  indus- 
trial country  in  the  Western  world,  and 
even  that  of  Japan." 

He  pointed  out  that,  in  the  first  nine 
months  of  1971,  (the  latest  figures 
available  as  he  spoke)  Canada's  gross 
national  product  was  up  6.9  percent 
over  last  year,  while  the  GNP  of  the 
United  States  was  up  only  3.1  percent. 

In  employment,  258.000  new  jobs 


were  created  in  Canada  between  Octo- 
ber 1970  and  October  1971.  an  in- 
crease of  3.2  percent.  In  the  United 
States  in  the  same  period  the  increase 
was  only  1.5  percent. 

But  he  was  frank  enough  to  admit 
that  these  optimistic  figures  cannot 
cover  up  the  high  rate  of  unemploy- 
ment. In  joblessness,  we  are  leading 
the  United  Slates. 

Even  as  the  Prime  Minister  was 
speaking  the  Canadian  construction 
industry  said  it  was  worried.  Last  year 
proved  to  be  a  poorer  year  than  they 
expected,  except  perhaps  in  residential 
construction. 

The  industry  forecast  over  Si 5  bil- 
lion in  construction  in  1971  but  fell  a 
billion  dollars  short  of  the  objective. 
Spokesmen  said  that  they  don't  expect 

1 972  to  be  much  better. 

It's  not  that  the  business  is  not  there. 
It  is  just  that  businessmen  are  being 
cautious,  so  that  a  backlog  is  piling 
up    which    could    make    itself   felt    in 

1973  and  1974. 

What  the  industry  fears  is  boom- 
and-bust  cycles,  due  to  the  federal 
government  using  construction  like  a 
tap,  turning  it  down  when  business  is 
good  and  turning  it  up  when  business 
is  bad. 

Why  not,  asks  the  industry,  even 
things  out?    Year  in  and  year  out? 

Housing  construction  could  reach 
230,000  when  final  1971  figures  are  in, 
40,000  over  1970  when  the  tap  was 
turned  down.  Lower  interest  rates 
should  help  for  1972 — if  they  stay 
down. 


Contradictions  Continue  to  Plague 
Building  and  Construction  Trades 


One  headline  read  "1972  Building 
Record  Forecast  for  Canada"  while 
another  headline  on  the  same  day  in 
the  same  paper  read  "Construction 
Survey  Finds  18*;^    Unemployed." 

These  conflicting  headlines  point 
up  the  contradictions  which  continue 
to  plague  the  construction  industry. 

The  story  imder  the  first  headline 
provides  information  about  residential 
construction  which  amounted  to  210,- 
400  units  in  1969,  slipped  to  190,- 
550  in  1  970  and  is  expected  to  reach 
225.000  in    1971. 

The  1971  figure  is  10.000  below 
the  forecast  of  federal  housing  min- 
ister Robert  Andras  and  25.000  below 
needed     construction,     according     to 


Economic  Council  of  Canada  esti- 
mates. 

The  second  headline  refers  to  the 
level  of  unemployment  in  the  build- 
ing trades  current  in  the  Metro  Tor- 
onto area.  Yet,  according  to  the  story 
under  the  first  headline,  "new  build- 
ing volume  in  the  Metropolitan  To- 
ronto area  will  exceed  SI  billion  to 
capture  \SVc  of  all  Canada's  new 
construction." 

The  18%  unemployment  in  the 
Metro  area  refers  to  25.000  building 
trades  workers  in  commercial,  indus- 
trial, institutional  and  apartment  proj- 
ects, where  union  jobs  are  concen- 
trated. Only  in  a  few  areas  of  Ontario 
is   residential    construction   unionized, 


for  example,  Windsor  and  Thunder 
Bay. 

In  Metro  Toronto,  only  high-rise 
developments  are  largely  under  union 
contracts. 

Unemployment  in  other  areas  of 
Ontario  is  worse  than  in  Metro,  ac- 
cording to  Henry  Kobryn,  secretary 
Provincial    Building   Trades   Council. 

While  Sudbury,  the  INCO  city,  is 
booming,  cities  like  Hamilton  and  St. 
Catharines  where  employment  is  rel- 
atively good,  still  show  jobless  rates 
in  building  trades  unions  around  the 
18';r    level. 

But  Windsor  has  had  almost  50% 
jobless  since  the  spring,  London  has 
had  that  many  jobless  for  about  two 
years  while  Sarnia  shows  about  75% 
unemployed  over  a  two-year  period. 

The  Metro  Toronto  figures  were 
provided  by  Alex  Main,  business  man- 
auer  of  the  Toronto  Construction  and 


14 


THE    CARPENTER 


Building  Trades  Council.  His  figure 
showed  4,569  unemployed  in  their  af- 
filiates. 

The  Laborers  have  1,100  jobless, 
the  plumbers  946,  carpenters  657, 
sheet  metal  workers  214,  bricklayers 
150,  hoisting  engineers  200,  ironwork- 
ers 176,  millwrights  120,  painters  96. 
Others  had  fewer  jobless. 

The  Metro  Toronto  figures  were 
made  public  in  a  submission  to  To- 
ronto Mayor  William  Dennison's  task 
force  on  unemployment. 

CLC  Backs  Mackasey 
On  Labor  Act  Changes 

Federal  Labor  Minister  Bryce  Mac- 
kasey was  under  attack  at  the  15th 
annual  convention  of  the  Ontario  Fed- 
eration of  Labor  late  last  year  for 
yielding  to  the  pressures  of  business 
interests  in  considering  watering  down 
new  labor  act  changes. 

Among  other  things  the  changes 
would  give  organized  labor  more  voice 
at  the  bargaining  table  on  technological 
change.  This  federal  legislation  would 
affect  only  those  unions  recognized 
under  federal  legislation,  covering 
about  10%  of  the  work  force. 

The  legislation  did  not  pass  in  the 
final  session  of  1971.  Undoubtedly 
business  is  exerting  a  great  deal  of 
pressure  on  the  cabinet  to  wipe  out  all 
or  parts  of  the  proposed  changes. 

It  is  likely  that  Mr.  Mackasey  him- 
self would  like  to  see  the  amended 
legislation  pass  as  he  drafted  it.  After 
all  it  has  taken  him  six  years  to  get  it 
before  parliament. 

He  may  be  having  trouble  carrying 
his  point  of  view  in  the  cabinet  and 
the  Liberal  caucus  but  the  Canadian 
Labor  Congress  is  backing  him  strong- 

ly- 

Quebec  Federation 
Tackles  Many  Problems 

The  QFL  convention  had  before  it 
a  major  study  showing  that  last  year  a 
record  number  of  plants  simply  closed 
down,  for  a  variety  of  reasons,  leaving 
many  employees  jobless  at  a  time  of 
high  unemployment. 

The  convention  adopted  many  very 
progressive  policy  statements  on  the 
issue  from  a  shorter  work  week  to  gov- 
ernment takeovers  where  practicable, 
but  it  was  still  a  moderate  policy- 
making convention  compared  with  the 
one  which  took  place  in  Quebec  a  few 
weeks  later. 

The  Quebec  Federation  of  Labor, 


a  month  or  two  before  its  December 
convention,  joined  with  the  Confedera- 
tion of  National  Trade  Unions  and  the 
Teachers'  Federation  in  leading  a  mass 
demonstration  in  protest  at  the  failure 
of  that  province's  leading  French- 
language  newspaper,  La  Presse,  to  set- 
tle with  its  unions. 

The  big  demonstration  was  met  by 
violent  police  intervention  and  broken 
up. 

This  provided  background  for  ag- 
gressive leadership  at  the  QFL's  an- 
nual convention  from  its  President 
Louis  Laberge  who  led  the  La  Presse 
march. 

His  opening  address  put  the  QFL 
on  record  against  both  the  power  struc- 
ture in  the  province  and  the  economic 
system. 

It  involved  a  new  alignment  of  all 
forces  in  the  trade  union  movement 
for  political  action  which  in  the  past 
has  taken  Quebec  labor  in  many  direc- 
tions, to  put  it  mildly. 

The  tenor  of  the  Laberge  speech 
struck  a  sympathetic  note  with  the 
thousand  delegates  who,  before  the 
end  of  the  convention,  seemed  to  be 
marching  ahead  of  its  newly-militant 
leadership. 

This  should  not  be  surprising  when 
one  considers  that,  over  25  years,  Que- 
bec's unemployment  rate  has  been 
roughly  twice  Ontario's. 

Add  to  this,  hard-line  governments 
both  in  Montreal  and  in  the  provincial 
capital,  Quebec  City,  and  you  have  the 
elements  of  the  serious  disconent  which 
exists. 

Million  and  a  Half 
New  Jobs  by  Year  1975? 

Canada  will  need  almost  a  million 
and  a  half  new  jobs  by  1975  if  the 
growing  work  force  is  to  find  employ- 
ment. 

The  particular  emphasis  must  be  on 
the  age  25-34  group,  according  to  fed- 
eral sources.  The  Social  and  Family 
Services  Department  of  the  Ontario 
government  points  out  that  at  least 
10,000  people  aged  18  to  25  who  have 
a  high  school  education  or  better  are 
unemployed  in  Ontario. 

At  one  end  of  the  scale,  the  older 
worker  is  being  laid  off  and  often  has 
a  tough  time  finding  a  job  due  to  age, 
while  at  the  other  end  the  young 
worker  can't  find  his  first  job. 

In  the  1971  splurge  of  layoffs,  exec- 
utives have  not  been  excluded.  Many 
of  them  at  the  $20,000  a  year  level  or 
more  are  finding  out  what  it  is  to  look 
for  non-existent  employment.

THE    CARPENTER 


Early  Retirement 
Is  Union  Concern 

■  With  Social  Security,  Railroad 
Retirement,  pensions  and  other  pro- 
grams, the  trend  to  early  retirement 
is  picking  up  momentum. 

The  statistics  on  this  are  pretty 
startling. 

Among  males  over  65  in  the  1890 
Census,  68.6  percent  were  in  the  la- 
bor force,  many  of  them  in  agricul- 
ture. In  the  1960  Census,  less  than 
one-half  of  this  percentage — 30.5 
percent — were  still  working. 

This  precise  picture  cannot  be 
drawn  for  women  but  the  trend  to- 
ward early  retirement  is,  neverthe- 
less, a  fact. 

With  the  great  advance  of  medi- 
cal science,  workers  who  retire  today 
at  ages  of  50  or  55  have  some  15 
years  of  retirement  facing  them. 

The  adjustment  from  work  to  re- 
tirement at  such  a  late  age  in  life, 
for  many,  is  one  of  the  most  difficult 
changes  a  worker  has  to  face. 

The  needs  of  older  workers  in  pre- 
paring for  retirement  and  in  making 
retirement  productive  has  become, 
more  and  more,  a  responsibility  of 
the  trade  union  movement. 

Just  what  organized  labor  is  doing 
for  the  middle-aged  and  older  work- 
er in  employment  and  retirement  is 
the  subject  of  a  new  study  prepared 
for  the  National  Council  on  the  Ag- 
ing by  Leo  Kramer,  Inc.  In  addition 
to  Kramer,  the  authors  are  Ewan 
Clague,  former  Commissioner  of 
Labor  Statistics,  and  Balraj  Palli. 

They  examine  the  policies  and 
programs  of  the  AFL-CIO  and  12 
major  international  unions  in  assist- 
ing the  older  workers. 

The  study  details  the  AFL-CIO's 
fight  for  health  insurance,  for  hous- 
ing for  the  elderly  and  for  improve- 
ments in  Social  Security.  Four  basic 
programs  among  the  elderly  have 
been  urged  by  the  Federation: 

1.  Establish  active  retired  mem- 
bers' clubs  and  affiliate  them  with 
the  National  Council  of  Senior  Citi- 
zens. 

2.  Undertake  pre-retirement 
planning  courses  that  will  better  en- 
able the  worker  to  plan  for  retire-

Early  Retirement 

Continued  from  Page   17 

ment  during  his  working  years. 

3.  Work  for  retiree  centers  to 
help  meet  the  needs  of  older  people 
for  education,  retirement  activities 
and  social  relationships. 

4.  Support  national,  state  and  lo- 
cal programs  for  opportunities  for 
creative  service  to  the  community 
and  nation  and  for  political  educa- 
tion and  participation. 

It  is  the  view  of  the  AFL-CIO,  the 
study  reports,  that  the  union  "knows 
the  older  worker  personally,  at  least 
at  the  local  level,  and  is  in  a  better 
position  to  know  what  his  problems 
are.  Thus,  the  union  would  appear 
to  be  the  legitimate  agency  to  look 
after  his  needs  when  he  is  approach- 
ing retirement  and  beyond.  This 
would  be  in  accord  with  traditional 
trade  union  concern  not  only  for  the 
strictly  economic  interests  of  its 
members  but  for  other  reasons  as 
well." 

All  unions  have  long  stressed  sen- 
iority and  union  security  as  two 
basic  ways  of  protecting  the  worker 
on  the  job. 

The  approach  of  some  unions 
differs,  however.  Some  put  the  great- 
est emphasis  in  keeping  members  on 
the  job  as  long  as  possible  and  have 
negotiated  contracts  for  protections 
toward  that  end.  Other  unions  are 
pressing  for  early  retirement. 

"The  form  of  union  organization 
is  often  a  determining  factor,"  the 
authors  write.  "A  highly-skilled 
craft  union,  which  has  a  substantial 
degree  of  control  over  the  supply  of 
workers  in  the  organization,  can  take 
a  different  tack  than  can  a  large  in- 
dustrial union,  which  represents  all 
grades  of  workers  with  widely  vary- 
ing degrees  of  attachment  to  the  in- 
dustry or  to  the  firm." 

Whatever  approach,  however,  the 
authors  leave  the  impression  that  or- 
ganized labor  is  committed  to  help- 
ing resolve  the  problems  of  the  elder- 
ly, both  on  the  job  and  in  retirement.

LOCAL  UNION  NEWS 


Carpenters  Local  1596  Marks  Its  100th  Birthday 


William  Sidell,  First  General  Vice 
President  of  the  Brotherhood  was  among 
many  dignitaries  who  convened  in  St. 
Louis,  September  25  to  pay  tribute  to 
Carpenters  Local  1596,  which,  at  100 
years  of  age,  ranks  among  the  oldest 
local  unions  in  the  nation. 

A  formal  dinner-dance  highlighted  a 
three-day  celebration  of  Local  1596's 
100th  birthday,  September  24-26.  Other 
activities  included  a  two-day  open  house 
at  the  Carpenters"  Hall  for  all  carpenters 
and  members  of  organized  labor  and 
their  families  on  Friday  and  Saturday, 
September  24  and  25,  and  a  special  open 
house  and  program  for  Local  1596  mem- 
bers and  their  families  on  Sunday,  Sep- 
tember 26. 

Speaking  before  a  black  tie  audience 
at  the  Carpenters'  Hall  1401  Hampton 
Avenue,  St.  Louis,  headquarters  of  the 
Carpenters"  District  Council  of  Greater 
St  Louis,  Sidell  briefly  recounted  the  his- 
tory of  Local  1596,  noting  that  Local 
1596,  one  of  22  affiliates  of  the  District 
Council,  was  chartered  in  1871,  when  22 
cabinet  makers  met  to  form  the  St.  Louis 
Cabinetmaker  Protective  Union,  The  fol- 
lowing year  they  affiliated  with  the  Inter- 
national Cabinet  Makers  Union  of  Ameri- 
ca and  were  given  the  charter  designation 
of  Local  12. 

In  1903,  the  Cabinetmakers  Interna- 
tional Union  affiliated  with  the  United 
Brotherhood  of  Carpenters  and  Joiners 
of  America.  Local  12  became  known  as 
Cabinetmakers  and  Machine  Hands  Lo- 
cal 1596,  the  designation  it  currently 
holds. 

Originally  formed  exclusively  as  a  lo- 
cal of  cabinet  makers  Local  1596"s  1700 
members  are  now  employed  by  firms  who 
manufacture,  in  addition  to  quality  cabi- 
nets, aluminum  windows  and  storm  sash, 


truss  roofs,  prefabricated  homes,  cooling 
towers,  movable  partitions,  refrigeration 
equipment,  Venetian  blinds  and  shades, 
exhibits  and  displays,  stairs,  hardware 
and  building  supplies,  barber  shop  and 
beauty  salon  fixtures,  bars  and  church 
furniture. 

The  Germanic  origins  of  Local  1596  is 
reflected  in  the  fact  that  for  many  years 
business  meetings  were  conducted  ex- 
clusively in  German,  Sidell  said,  adding 
that  Local  1596  is  one  of  the  "finest 
examples  of  what  the  labor  movement 
and  the  country  as  a  whole  owes  to  the 
millions  of  immigrants  who  migrated  to 
America  in  the  19th  century  to  escape 
the  oppression  of  the  working  class  in 
their  native  lands."' 

Sharing  the  speaker's  table  with  Sidell 
were  John  Livingston,  retired  director  of 
organizing  for  the  AFL-CIO;  Ollie  W. 
Langhorst,  executive  secretary-treasurer 
of  the  Carpenters'  District  Council  of 
Greater  St.  Louis;  Missouri  Congressman 
Richard  Ichord;  and  Gene  McNary,  St. 
Louis  County  prosecuting  attorney. 

Among  the  many  letters  and  telegrams 
of  congratulations  received  by  Local 
1596  was  one  from  AFL-CIO  President 
George  Meany  who  extended  his  con- 
gratulations to  the  local  union  and  urged 
the  members  to  continue  their  record  of 
progress  and  accomplishments. 

Congressman  Ichord  struck  a  respon- 
sive note  when  he  told  the  more  than 
500  guests  that  he  was  the  only  mem.ber 
of  the  Missouri  Congressional  delegation 
who  has  held  an  active  working  carpen- 
ter's card.  He  hastened  to  add  that  he 
only  got  as  far  as  a  third  year  apprentice 
carpenter  "back  in  the  early  days  of 
World  War  II." 

As  representative  of  the  largest  con- 
gressional district  in  Missouri,  Ichord  said 


his  job  was  to  "try  to  strike  a  proper  bal- 
ance between  the  interests  of  Labor  and 
the  interests  of  management."  "Unfor- 
tunately," he  continued,  "there  are  ex- 
tremists on  both  sides. 

"Today,  unions  represent  the  voice  of 
labor,  not  only  to  the  government  but  to 
man.  This  is  quite  a  contrast  to  some  of 
the  totalitarian  nations  of  the  world, 
where  they  also  have  unions  but  the  un- 
ions represent  the  voice  of  government. 

"We  must,"  declared  Ichord,  "do  every- 
thing in  our  power  to  preserve  the  right 
of  free,  collective  bargaining." 

Commendation  was  given  to  the  Lo- 
cal's Anniversary  Committe  who  planned 
the  entire  three-day  affair.  They  were 
Chairman  Michael  Heilich  Jr.,  Secretary 
Walter  Fritz,  Woody  Irwin,  William 
Sleinkamp,  Edward  Haze  and  Alfons 
Doering  aided  by  Michael  Heilich,  Sr., 
Council  business  representative  from  Lo- 
cal 1596. 

Other  dignitaries  at  the  affair  were 
Sixth  District  representative  to  the  Car- 
penters' General  Executive  Board  Fred 
Bull:  Richard  Cox,  secretary-treasurer 
of  the  Missouri  State  Council  of  Car- 
penters; Raymond  Harris,  chief  legal 
investigator  of  the  St.  Louis  County 
Medical  Examiners  Office;  Greater  St. 
Louis  Labor  Council  Officers,  President 
Oscar  Ehrhardt  and  Secretary-Treasurer 
James  Meyers;  Delmond  Garst.  director, 
AFL-CIO  Region  15;  Norman  Barth, 
president.  Carpenters'  District  Council

Pioneering  Local  9,  Buffalo, 
Marks  Its  90th  Anniversary 


Local  9  of  Buffalo.  N.Y.,  a  local 
union  with  origins  going  back  to  the 
days  before  the  establishment  of  the 
Brotherhood,  commemorated  its 
90th  birthday  recently. 

The  anniversary  was  commem- 
orated by  a  host  of  General  Officers 
and  labor  and  public  officials  of  the 
New  York  area.  Among  the  guests 
was  General  Secretary  R.  E.  Liv- 
ingston, a  member  of  the  local  un- 
ion. First  General  Vice  Pres.  Wil- 
liam Sidell  was  among  the  speakers. 
He  brought  congratulations  from 
General  Pres.  M.  A.  Hutcheson. 

A  memorable  banquet  was  held 
in  Buffalo,  at  which  speakers  de- 
scribed the  early  efforts  of  carpen- 
ters in  the  area  to  form  a  union. 
Members  of  Local  9  participated  in 
the  founding  convention  of  the 
Brotherhood  in  Chicago  in  1881. 

Long  before  the  Brotherhood  was 
organized,  carpenters  of  Buffalo 
learned  the  necessity  of  organiza- 
tion. They  got  together  from  time  to 
time  and  formed  a  union,  only  to 
lapse  after  concessions  were  gained 
from  employers.  Finally,  on  August 
31,  1880,  the  Carpenters  and  Join- 
ers Union  of  the  City  of  Buffalo  was 
organized.  The  initiation  fee  was 
500  and  the  monthly  dues  150  per 


member.  Wages  at  that  time  ranged 
from  $1.75  to  $2.50  for  a  10-hour 
day. 

During  this  period  there  was  a 
movement  to  form  an  international 
union,  and  a  convention  was  sched-

veteran  member  of  Local  9,  recalls  some 
of  the  illustrious  history  of  the  local 
union.

its  90th  anniversary. 

uled  for  Chicago.  Buffalo  Carpen- 
ters were  so  anxious  to  be  chartered 
that  it  applied  for  one  on  June  7, 
two  months  before  the  convention 
was  held.  It  took  some  time,  once 
the  Brotherhood  was  formed,  for 
charters  to  be  drafted  and  printed, 
but  Buffalo  carpenters  received 
theirs  on  January  30,  1882. 

Down  through  the  years  Local  9 
fought  successfully  for  shorter  hours 
and  working  conditions  for  its  mem- 
bers, becoming  a  permanent  fixture 
in  its  home  city.  It  is  recognized  as 
the  first  local  union  of  the  Brother- 
hood established  in  the  State  of 
New  York.

THE    CARPENTER 


Veteran  Illinois  Leader  Is  First 
To  Benefit  from  State  Pension  Fund 


From  left  to  right  are  James  Bannister,  executive  secretary  of  the  Fox  Valley  General 
Contractors  Association  and  secretary-treasurer  of  the  Carpenters  Pension  Fund  of 
Illinois;  Wilbur  E.  "Duff'  Corbin;  Paul  Bolger,  president  of  the  Fox  River  Vailcy 
District  Council  and  board  member  of  the  Illinois  State  Council  of  Carpenters;  and 
Raymond  E.  Waker,  administrator,  Carpenters  Pension  Fund  of  Illinois. 


The  first  pension  check  to  be  presented 
by  the  Carpenters  Pension  Fund  of  Illi- 
nois went  recently  to  Wilbur  E.  "Duff" 
Corbin,  retired  International  Representa- 
tive. Corbin  was  initiated  in  Carpenters 
Local  916,  Aurora,  111.,  in  October,  1924, 
and  became  fulltime  business  agent  of 
that  local  union  in  1936,  serving  until 
1964.  He  was  president  of  the  Fox  River 
Valley  District  Council  of  Carpenters 
from  1936  to  1964. 

In  February,  1964,  he  was  appointed 
a  General  Representative  and  served  in 
that  capacity  until  his  retirement  on  Jan- 
uary 15,  1971.  Corbin  was  elected  vice 
president  of  the  Illinois  State  Council  of 
Carpenters  in  1958  and  served  as  vice 
president  until  1963  when  he  became 
president  of  the  Illinois  State  Council  of 
Carpenters,  a  position  he  holds  at  present. 

In  1949  Brother  Corbin  started  nego- 
tiating for  fringe  benefits  and  was  not 
successful  until  November,  1951,  at  which 
time  the  welfare  fund  for  the  Fox  River 
Valley  District  Council  of  Carpenters  was 
organized  with  payments  effective  June  1, 
1952.    He   served   as   a   member   of   the 


board  of  trustees  of  this  welfare  fund 
from  1955  to  1965.  Effective  June  1, 
1957,  the  Carpenters  Pension  Fund  for 
the  Fox  River  Valley  District  was  orga- 
nized and  Mr.  Corbin  served  as  a  member 
of  the  board  of  trustees  of  this  organiza- 
tion from   1957  until  1965. 

In  1962  the  welfare  fund  for  Spring- 
field Carpenters,  Local  16,  was  merged 
with  the  welfare  fund  of  the  Fox  River 
Valley  District  Council  of  Carpenters, 
and  these  merged  funds  formed  the  nu- 
cleus of  statewide  funds  which  are  now 
known  as  the  Carpenters  Welfare  Fund 
of  Illinois  and  the  Carpenters  Pension 
Fund  of  Illinois.  Present  participation 
in  these  two  funds  includes  approximately 
14,000  carpenter  members  in  the  Slate 
of  Illinois  with  total  contributions  of 
well  over  $8,000,000.00  per  year. 

During  the  term  that  Mr.  Corbin  served 
as  president  of  the  Fox  River  Valley  Dis- 
trict Council  he  was  instrumental  in  orga- 
nizing the  house  builders,  and  this  area 
still  continues  to  be  one  of  the  best  orga- 
nized areas  for  house  builders  in  the 
country.

Precast  Concrete 
Building  Erected 
By  Pa.  Menil^ers 

Bison  Wall  Frame  Building,  is  a 
residence  for  the  elderly  in  Jeannette, 
Pa.,  and  the  first  such  structure  of  its 
kind  in  the  United  States. 

The  project  was  furnished  to  Cross- 
gates  Inc,  of  McMurray,  Pa.,  turn- 
key developer  for  the  Westmoreland 
County,  Pennsylvania  Housing  Author- 
ity. Though  a  first  in  the  United 
States,  this  system  carries  an  experi- 
ence of  some  57,000  living  units  con- 
structed in  the  United  Kingdom  by 
the  systems  originator  Concrete  Lim- 
ited of  England,  a  firm  known  as  the 
largest  precast  producer  in  the  world. 

Dickerson  Structural  Concrete  Cor- 
poration of  Youngwood,  Pa.  acted  as 
a  subcontractor  to  AC  Schwotzer 
Construction  Company  of  McMurray, 
Pa.  to  construct  the  building. 

The  precast  components;  all  plant 
manufactured,  including  stairs,  are  as- 
sembled with  site  cast  concrete  con- 
nections and  "no-caulk,"  exterior 
joints.  Dickerson  used  members  of 
Local  462  and  Local  333  in  the  erec- 
tion and  placement  of  all  component 
parts.  Members  of  the  United  Brother- 
hood also  erected  and  dismantled  the 
crane  used  in  the  erection. 

The  photographs  indicate  how  pre- 
cast concrete  components  combine  in 
a  unique  structural  system  to  achieve 
a,  "collapse-proof,"  fully  insulated,  and 
waterproof  building  ready  for  interior 
finishes. 

Chief  components  of  the  system  are: 
sandwich  panels  comprised  of  an  ar- 
chitectural facing,  insulation  and  a 
structural  backup  used  as  external 
walls:  solid  concrete  panels  as  internal 
load-bearing  partitions,  and  prestressed 
hollow  core  plank  as  decking.  All  of 
these  component  parts  were  placed  by 
members  of  the  United  Brotherhood. 

Each  vertical  and  horizontal  exterior 
construction  joint  was  waterproofed 
with  mastic  and  vinyl,  also  installed  by 
members  of  the  Brotherhood.  All  grout 
forms  are  placed  by  Brotherhood 
members.  Dickerson  Corp.  used  Broth- 
erhood members  for  each  phase  of  the 
erection  with  the  exception  of  the 
pouring  of  the  grout  for  the  construc- 
tion joints,  this  was  done  by  members 
of  the  Laborers  Union  of  Latrobe,  Pa. 

Dickerson,  a  licensee  of  Concrete

Ten  Sure  Ways 
To  Kill  Your  Union 

1.  Don't  come  to  meetings. 

2.  If  you  do,  come  late. 

3.  If  the  weather  doesn't  suit  you, 
do  not  thinl;  of  coming. 

4.  When  you  attend  meetings,  find 
fault  with  the  officers  and 
members. 

5.  Never  accept  an  office,  as  it  is 
easier  to  criticize  than  do 
things  yourself. 

6.  If  asked  by  the  chairman  to 
give  your  opinion  regarding 
some  important  matters  tell 
him  you  have  nothing  to  offer 
on  the  subject.  After  the  meet- 
ing tell  everybody  how  it  ought 
to  have  been  done. 

7.  Do  nothing  more  than  is  ab- 
solutely necessary,  but  when 
other  members  roll  up  their 
sleeves  and  willingly  and  un- 
selfishly use  their  ability  to 
help  matters,  howl  that  the 
imion  is  run  by  a  clique. 

8.  Hold  back  your  dues  as  long 
as  possible,  or  don't  pay  at  all. 

9.  Do  not  bother  about  getting 
new  members — let  George  or 
Bill  do  it. 

10.  When  the  union  "busts  up,"  tell 
everyone  you  knew  all  along 
it  would.

Husband  and  Wife 


Mr.  and  Mrs.  Paul  Siefer  and  catch. 


Avid  angling  duo  is  Paul  E.  Siefer  of 
San  Mateo,  California,  a  member  of 
Local  1149  in  San  Francisco,  and  his 
wife.  On  a  recent  two-day  trip  to  waters 
out  of  San  Francisco  Bay,  a  friendly  but 
touch-and-go  match  for  supremacy  de- 
veloped between  the  pair.  Numerically, 
it  ended  in  a  draw  with  Paul  racking  up  a 
total  of  two  Chinook  and  the  Missus 
boating  a  small  Chinook  and  31-lb.  Hali- 
but. Here's  a  look-see  at  both  with  their 
catch. 


■   Exciting  Trap  Line  Days 

Retired  Carpenter,  E.  H.  Englund  of 
Grasston,  Minn.,  says  his  winter  days  are 
filled  with  exciting  and  ofttimes  lucrative 
days  on  the  trap  line.  Here's  a  look-in 
on  Brother  Englund,  a  member  of  Local 


386,  with  pelts  from  part  of  the  "take" 
he  made  of  red  fox  and  muskrat. 

■  BC  Waters  Praised 

Eugene  Putnam  of  Seattle.  Washing- 
ton, a  member  of  Local  2519.  tabs  the 
waters  out  of  Smithers,  British  Colum- 
bia, as  the  best  he's  ever  fished  for 
salmon.  Pic  in  files  which,  unfortunately, 
was  too  faint  to  reproduce,  nevertheless 
clearly  showed  Brother  Putnam  with  a 
pair  of  Chinook  (King)  salmon  which  I 
daresay  weighed  over  35  pounds  each. 

■  Sliark  Hunter 


£.  H.  Englund  and  Pelts 
JANUARY,    1972 


Donnelly  with  Atlantic  shark. 

Frank  Donnelly  of  Brooklyn,  New 
York,  a  member  of  the  Millwrights  Local 
740,  is  a  hunter  of  fish,  specifically  a 
hunter  of  sharks.  He's  pictured  here  with 
one  from  a  catch  which  he  and  others 
made  in  Atlantic  waters  out  of  Montauk 
Point.  He  makes  three  such  junkets  a 
year.  Frank  says  the  one  he  is  standing 
lay  tipped  the  scales  at  200  pounds,  but 
larger  ones  have  been  taken. 

■   Beaver  Barter 

The  Indians  and  early  settlers  of  North 
America  regarded  beaver  pelts  as  a  valua- 
ble item.  An  even-up  trade  in  the  early 
days  was  a  pile  of  beaver  skins  for  a 
musket,  the  pile  to  reach  as  high  as  the 
muzzle  of  said  musket.  Another  trade 
was  four  beaver  skins  for  a  wool  blanket. 


■   Fast  on  the  Draw 

Way  up  on  the  top  of  the  ladder  for 
production  and  maintenance  of  large  and 
healthy  deer  herds,  and  trophy  specimens, 
is  the  state  of  Utah.  In  order  to  keep  it 
that  way,  its  biologists — as  in  every  other 
state  where  deer  hunting  prevails — set 
seasonal  bag  limits  so  that  the  herd  will 
be  conservatively  harvested  and  kept  in 
balance. 

One  hunter  who  knows  that  is  Joe 
Mansfield  of  El  Sabranti,  California,  a 
member  of  the  Richmond  Carpenters 
Local  642.  He's  pictured  here  with  a 
moose  of  a  mule  deer  he  downed  on  a 
past  deer  opener  in  the  Beehive  State. 
Packing  a  Model  760  Remington,  30/06 
caliber,  he  nailed  it  on  the  second  shot 
as  it  came  loping  out  of  a  draw.  It 
dressed  out  at  224  pounds. 


Left,  Mansfield;  right.  Potter. 

■  A  Hunt  Near  Hunt 

Earl  Potter  Jr.  of  Houston,  Texas,  a 
member  of  Millwrights  Local  2232,  got 
his  buck,  a  whitetail,  the  hard  way  last 
season — via  the  bow  and  arrow  route. 
He's  pictured  here  with  his  prize  nailed 
during  the  archery  season  near  Hunt, 
Texas.

ELECTRIC    HINGE 

An  electric  hinge,  with  leaf  conductors 
that  carry  the  current,  was  introduced  to 
architects  and  contractors  in  January  by 
Hager  Hinge  Company,  St.  Louis. 

The  design  and  function  of  the  new 
hinge  presupposes  the  development  of  a 
companion  unit — a  lock  set  activated  by 
electrical  current  and  controlled  from  a 
central  source. 

Alert  manufacturers  have  been  working 
on  various  adaptations  of  wired  circuits 
for  security  programs.  In  most  cases,  the 
devices  developed  require  some  form  of 
electrical  current  in  the  door.  "Because 
of  the  advanced  stage  of  this  work  by 
lock  manufacturers,"  states  Clarence  H.

King,  Jr.,  A.H.C.,  Vice  President.  Market- 
ing and  Sales,  "we  at  Hager  felt  it  would 
be  helpful  to  industry  planning  to  an- 
nounce the  electric  hinge  at  this  time. 
We  are  convinced  that  electronics  is  the 
coming  trend  in  security  as  well  as  in 
providing  new  approaches  to  the  Open- 
ings Concept  now  gaining  momentum  in 
construction  methods." 

The  Hager  electric  hinge,  patent  pend- 
ing, is  a  big  departure  from  conventional 
hinge  function.  Coming  as  it  does  when 
security  is  high  on  the  list  in  commercial, 
industrial,  and  residential  planning,  the 
electric  hinge  can  make  a  valid  contribu- 
tion to  security  advancements. 

Electrical  current  moves  up  through 
the  frame  to  the  hinges.  When  the  door 
is  closed,  the  current  moves  across  the 
door  interior  by  wired  circuit  to  the  lock 
set.  When  the  door  opens  the  contact  is 
broken.  This  action  can  be  utilized  in  a 
central  signal  system. 

Because  contact  points  on  each  leaf 
serve  as  terminals,  the  door  can  be  re- 
moved when  necessary  without  disturbing 
the  wiring  inside  the  door  or  inside  the 
framing.  Because  of  intended  use  for  ex- 
tra security,  the  hinges  are  mounted  so 
the  pin  is  not  accessible  from  outside,  or 
they  have  non-removable  pins  that  dis- 
courage tampering. 

While  electronic  control  of  doors  is  a 
widely  accepted  security  measure,  most 
systems  require  rather  extensive  equip- 
ment and  sophisticated  operational  pro- 
cedures. The  direct  wired  contact  from 
hinge  to  lock  set  can  simplify  application. 


NEW  PLYWOOD   DATA 

"Plywood  Construction  Systems,"  a 
56-page  guide,  has  been  expanded  to 
include  current  plywood  performance  in- 
formation for  designing  and  constructing 
commercial   and   industrial   buildings. 

The  systems  illustrated  range  from  on- 
site  construction  to  shop-fabricated  com- 
ponents in  which  plywood's  economy, 
diaphragm  strength,  fire  safety  and  ap- 
pearance play  important  roles. 

Sidings,  sheathing,  shear  walls,  the 
APA  Single  Wall  System,  paneling,  back- 
ing and  lining  are  covered  in  the  wall 
construction  section. 

Basic  information  on  subflooring,  un- 
derlayment,  APA  glued  floors  and  a  num- 
ber of  heavy  duty  and  special  floor  sys- 
tems are  offered  in  the  brochure's  cov- 
erage of  plywood  floor  construction. 

Building  requirements,  treated  ply- 
wood and  sound  control  construction  are 
among  the  numerous  special  topics  dis- 
cussed in  this  comprehensive  publication.

TO  CUT  PARTICLEBOARD 

Everyone  who  has  worked  with  particle- 
board  has  foimd  it  difficult  to  shape  the 
exposed  edges  without  the  major  prob- 
lem of  extensive  filling  due  to  tearing 
out  of  the  particles.  Spira-Cut  Tool  Com- 
pany has  developed  a  shaper-cutter, 
called  SPIRA-CUT,  that  permits  shaping 
exposed  edges  of  particleboard  without 
tearing  out  particles.  This  reduces  and  in 
some  cases  eliminates  filling  and  sanding. 
The  precision  ground  carbide  inserts  have 
spiral  grooves,  which  cut  the  particle- 
board  without  chipping  into  it  or  pulling 
particles  from  it.  Production  runs,  be- 
tween sharpenings,  have  rangad  from 
30,000  feet  to  over  50,000  feet.  Each 
shaper-cutter  is  balanced  after  assembly 
and  machining  for  vibration-free  cutting. 
The  cutter  also  has  many  advantages  for 
curly  grain  and  end  grain  cuts  on  soft  to 
hard  woods.  Full  details  may  be  obtained

Move  For  Senior 
Citizen  Support 

The  federal  government  of  Canada 
was  still  digesting  its  Opportunities  for 
Youth  program  when  Barry  Mather,  a 
newspaperman  who  is  a  New  Demo- 
cratic Member  of  Parliament  from 
British  Columbia,  moved  a  motion  in 
the  House  of  Commons  for  a  program 
for  senior  citizens. 

He  got  immediate  support  from  Jus- 
tice Minister  John  Turner  who  told 
the  press  that,  while  the  government 
has  not  fully  assessed  its  youth  pro- 
gram, it  seems  to  have  worked  and  "if 
this  is  so,  I'm  sure  an  Opportunities 
for  the  Aged  program  would  work  just 
as  well." 

The  idea  got  support  from  senior 
citizens'  organizations  which  had  had 
a  national  convention  in  August. 
Many  of  their  spokesmen  at  the  con- 
vention, putting  it  bluntly,  pointed  to 
the  attention  young  people  were  get- 
ting these  days  compared  with  the  ne- 
glect of  older  citizens. 

One  of  their  leaders  suggested  that 
the  first  thing  the  federal  government 
could  help  finance  for  them  is  a  na- 
tional headquarters  with  a  staff  secre- 
tary. 

Since  the  organization  has  403  af- 
filiated clubs  across  Canada,  this 
might  be  a  good  thing  to  do. 

A  number  of  trade  union  retirees 
are  very  active  in  the  senior  citizens' 
organization,  and  have  really  provided 
most  of  the  know-how  to  get  it  going.

In  conclusion 


M.    A.    Hutcheson,    Genera/  President 


Will  the  18-Year-Old  Voter  Make  a  Difference? 


■  After  a  long  and  often  bitter  struggle,  legis- 
lation permitting  1  8-year-old  citizens  to  vote  has 
finally  been  written  into  law. 

At  this  point  in  time  there  is  little  profit  in 
rehashing  how  many  were  for  or  against  the  right 
of  1 8-year-olds  to  vote.  The  fundamental  fact  is 
that  18-year-olds  now  have  the  right  to  vote. 

For  a  number  of  years,  the  young  people  in 
our  colleges  and  other  institutions  have  created 
a  great  furor  over  the  fact  that  young  people 
under  2 1  years  of  age  have  had  no  voice  in  shaping 
the  destiny  of  the  nation.  Now  the  law  gives  them 
the  right  to  help  choose  who  will  call  the  signals 
in  Congress  and  the  White  House. 

Ofl'hand,  this  may  seem  like  a  great  victory  for 
the  youngsters  between  18  and  21.  However,  we 
are  inclined  to  be  a  little  skeptical  about  the  im- 
pact that  will  accrue  to  the  nation  from  reducing 
the  legal  voting  age  from  21  to  18. 

Statistics  indicate  that  only  20%  of  the  people 
in  the  21-25  age  bracket  bother  to  register  and 
vote.  There  is  little  hope  that  the  percentage  will 
improve  by  reducing  the  voting  age  from  21  to  18. 

There  was  a  time,  some  60  years  ago,  when 
woman's  suffrage  was  hanging  in  the  balance, 
when  those  who  favored  giving  the  vote  to  women 
insisted  that  war  would  become  obsolete  once 
women  had  the  right  to  vote.  Mothers  would  never 
commit  their  sons  to  war,  they  said.  Unfortunately, 
this  prediction  did  not  pan  out. 

There  are  two  areas  in  the  world  where  war  is 
a  constant  threat.  One  is  in  India;  and  the  other 
is  in  the  Middle  East.  In  both  cases,  women  are 
in  the  strategic  spots  to  determine  whether  the  fu- 
ture will  bring  war  or  peace.  In  both  cases,  it  seems 
that  the  women  who  head  the  states  in  question 


are  fully  as  belligerent  as  men  might  be. 

I  only  bring  up  this  point  to  emphasize  the  fact 
that  things  are  not  always  what  they  seem  to  be. 
It  is  fine  for  people  to  visualize  that  international 
turmoil  will  end  when  the  right  to  vote  is  extended 
to  18-year-olds  everywhere. 

However,  the  same  forces  of  national,  regional 
or  religious  prejudice  and  ethnic  loyalty  that  gov- 
ern the  thinking  of  the  old  will  undoubtedly  sur- 
face in  the  young.  The  problem  becomes  less  one 
of  giving  the  vote  to  younger  constituents  and  more 
a  problem  of  educating  people  to  vote  their  rea- 
soned judgments  rather  than  their  ethnic  or  tribal 
allegiances. 

History  records  many  brutal  and  sanguine  re- 
ligious wars  that  in  retrospect  seem  unthinkable, 
yet  more  people  have  been  slaughtered  in  the  name 
of  religion  during  the  past  30  years  than  any  time 
in  human  history.  The  Jews  in  Germany,  the  Ibos 
in  Nigeria,  llie  Moslems  and  non-Moslems  in 
Pakistan,  and  the  Catholics  and  Protestants  in 
Ireland  bear  mute  testimony  to  this  truism. 

There  is  some  evidence  that  the  youngsters  grow- 
ing up  today  are  not  going  to  be  swayed  so  much 
by  the  traditions  and  prejudices  of  the  past.  If 
this  is  so,  it  must  be  considered  a  big  plus  in  the 
advancement  of  human  progress.  Based  on  the 
record  of  the  past,  there  is  little  to  indicate  that 
extending  the  vote  to  18-year-olds  will  have  any 
immediate  impact  on  the  confused  situation  exist- 
ing in  the  nation  today.  However,  it  must  be  recog- 
nized that  the  potential  for  achieving  great  good 
is  there,  and  I  think  it  is  the  fervent  hope  of  my 
generation  that  the  vast  army  of  brand  new  voters 
will  use  their  political  muscle  to  help  bring  about 
peace  and  justice  in  the  world.  ■

DISTRICT  BOARD  MEMBERS 


Secretaries,  Please  Note 

If  your  local  union  wishes  to  list  de- 
ceased members  in  the  "In  Memoriam" 
page  of  The  Carpenter,  it  is  necessary 
that  a  specific  request  be  directed  to  the 
editor. 


In  processing  complaints,  the  only 
names  which  the  financial  secretary  needs 
to  send  in  are  the  names  of  members 
who  are  NOT  receiving  the  magazine. 
In  sending  in  the  names  of  members  who 
are  not  getting  the  magazine,  the  new  ad- 
dress forms  mailed  out  with  each  monthly 
bill  should  be  used.  Please  see  that  the 
Zip  Code  of  the  member  is  included.  When 
a  member  clears  out  of  one  Local  Union 
into  another,  his  name  is  automatically 
dropped  from  the  mail  list  of  the  Local 
Union  he  cleared  out  of.  Therefore,  the 
secretary  of  the  Union  into  which  he 
cleared  should  forward  his  name  to  the

THE   COVER 

Abraham  Lincoln  was  a  well-read 
man  by  the  standards  of  his  day. 
Much  has  been  recorded  about  his 
ability  to  cite  chapters  and  verses 
from  the  Bible,  documents,  and  texts 
in  pleading  cases  and  causes. 

The  eloquence  of  his  address  at 
Gettysburg  Cemetery  bears  testimony 
to  his  literate  background. 

The  array  of  books  with  the  framed 
Gettysburg  Address  on  our  February 
cover  usher  in  an  annual  tribute  to 
one  of  our  greatest  U.S.  presidents. 

In  February,  1861.  Lincoln  began 
his  journey  to  greatness  at  the  White 
House  in  Washington,  D.C.,  one  day 
before  his  52nd  birthday. 

On  his  trip  from  Springfield,  111.,  to 
the  nation's  capital,  he  was  greeted  all 
along  the  way  with  shouts  of  "Save 
the  Union,  Abe!"  People  took  him  at 
once  to  their  hearts.  His  homespun 
humor  and  simple  manner  delighted 
them.  They  were  happy  he  wasn't  as 
bad  looking  as  some  people  claimed, 
for  word  had  spread  the  he  was 
"awfully  ugly."  —  Photo  from  H. 
Armstrong  Roberts.

THE    CARPENTER 


■  Maurice  A.  Hutcheson,  for 
three  decades  one  of  the  towering 
figures  in  the  trade  union  movement, 
will  retire  March  1  as  General  Presi- 
dent of  our  Brotherhood,  a  position 
he  has  held  since  1952. 

In  announcing  his  unexpected  re- 
tirement, the  vigorous,  73-year-old 
President  said: 

"After  a  good  deal  of  soul  search- 
ing, I  have  reached  the  conclusion 
that  the  time  has  come  for  me  to 
step  down,  while  my  wife  and  I  are 
still  physically  able  to  do  some  of 
the  things  we  have  always  wanted 
to  do  but  were  prevented  from  doing 
by  the  pressures  of  offices." 

He  will  be  succeeded  by  William 
Sidell,  56,  a  General  Vice  Presi- 
dent since  1964,  a  member  of 
the  Carpenters'  General  Executive 
Board  since  1962  and,  for  a  number 
of  years  before  that,  one  of  the 
outstanding  labor  leaders  in  Cali- 
fornia. 

During  his  tenure  as  General 
President,  Brother  Hutcheson  ren- 
dered distinguished  service  not  only 
to  his  own  union  but  to  the  trade 
union  movement  as  a  whole. 

He  has  been  a  forceful  member  of 
the  AFL-CIO  Executive  Council 
and  also  the  Executive  Council  of 
the  Building  and  Construction 
Trades  Department,  AFL-CIO,  both 
of  which  posts  he  intends  to  relin- 
quish even  though  he  will  have  the 
title  of  President-emeritus  of  the 
Brotherhood. 

He  was  one  of  the  key  persons 
in  the  development  of  the  National 
Joint  Board  for  the  Settlement  of 
Jurisdictional  Disputes  in  the  Con- 
struction Industry  and  a  pioneer  in 
establishing  mechanisms  for  better 
labor-management  relations  in  the 
construction  industry. 

In  recent  months,  Brother  Hutch- 
eson has  been  one  of  the  main  forces 
in  a  drive  to  provide  more  and 
better  housing  for  the  nation.  The 
Carpenters,  joined  by  the  United 
Association  of  Plumbers  and  Pipe 
Fitters  and  the  International  Broth- 
erhood of  Electrical  Workers,  effec- 
tuated a  so-called  Tri-Trade  Agree- 
ment that  is  considered  a  bench- 
mark by  the  Federal  government  as 
well  as  the  industry  in  the  organiza- 
tion and  development  of  factory- 
built  housing.  The  Carpenters  alone 
have  negotiated  hundreds  of  con-

At  the  rostrum  of  a  Brotherhood 
General  Convention,  General 
President   Hutcheson   guided   the 
delegates  through  many  parliamentary 
and  fraternal  issues,  serving  as 
chairman  of  the  gatherings. 


Presidential  Candidate  Richard  Nixon 
was  assisted  to  the  podium  of  our  1960

tracts  for  the  off-site  building  of 
modular  and  pre-fabricated  resi- 
dences. 

Many   Achievements 

As  a  member  of  the  influential 
Administrative  Committee  of  the 
Building  and  Construction  Trades 
Department,  he  played  a  leading 
role  in  formulating  such  departmen- 
tal programs  as  the  gigantic  project 
agreement  to  build  Disney  World 
in  Orlando,  Florida,  entirely  union; 
the  recruiting,  training  and  appren- 
ticeship placement  of  minority 
youths  in  skilled  crafts,  the  recent 
sweeping  field  reorganization  of  the 
department,  and  the  establishment 
of  new  work  rules  and  procedures 
to  increase  productivity  in  major 
construction  projects,  including  the 
prohibition  of  work  stoppages  be- 
cause of  jurisdictional  disputes. 

He  also  participated  in  the  pre- 
liminary   discussions    which    helped 


mold  the  design  of  the  Construction 
Industry  Stabilization  Committee — 
of  which  Vice  President  Sidell  is  an 
original  member — and  the  Craft 
Boards. 

The  international  headquarters  of 
the  Carpenters  at  101  Constitution 
Avenue,  N.W.,  adjacent  to  Capitol 
Hill  and  considered  one  of  Washing- 
ton's most  beautiful  structures,  was 
built  virtually  under  his  personal 
supervision. 

Broad   Experience 

When  Brother  Hutcheson  became 
General  President  of  the  Carpenters, 
succeeding  his  late  father,  William 
L.  Hutcheson,  he  already  had  ac- 
quired 38  years  of  continuous  mem- 
bership in  his  union,  which  em- 
braced every  activity  and  experience 
from  apprentice  to  general  officer. 

On  his  seventeenth  birthday  in 
1914,  he  became  an  apprentice  but, 
before  he  could  complete  the  train- 


ing. World  War  I  was  in  full  swing. 
Laying  down  his  tools,  he  enlisted 
in  the  Navy,  served  two  years,  then 
returned  home  to  qualify  as  a  jour- 
neyman carpenter. 

Then  followed  a  period  in  which 
he  worked  at  his  trade  throughout 
the  United  States — dock  building  in 
New  York  City,  shipbuilding  in 
Brooklyn,  general  carpentry  and 
millwork  in  innumerable  cities. 

In  1928,  he  was  appointed  a  Gen- 
eral Representative.  His  assignment 
to  work  with  unions  across  the  coun- 
try gave  him  an  intimate  knowledge 
of  peculiar  problems  of  the  Brother- 
hood's subordinate  bodies. 

Then,  in  1938,  when  a  death  cre- 
ated a  vacancy  in  the  General  Office, 
Brother  Hutcheson  unanimously  was 
elected  First  General  Vice  President, 
serving  until  his  election  to  the  Gen- 
eral Presidency  when  his  late  father

resigned  after  36  years  of  service. 

Like  the  man  he  now  succeeds, 
Sidell  has  had  unusual  training  in 
the  ranks  and  in  the  leadership  of 
the  Carpenters. 

Father's    Footsteps 

Born  in  Chicago,  111.  on  May  30, 
1915,  Sidell  moved  with  his  mother 
and  father,  a  carpenter-cabinet  mak- 
er, to  Los  Angeles  County  in  1920. 
There  he  completed  his  formal  edu- 
cation and  then  followed  in  his 
father's  footsteps,  becoming  an  ap- 
prentice in  Local  721. 

The  first  office  to  which  he  was 
elected  was  warden  of  the  4,500- 
member  Local  72 1 .  Later  he  became 
recording  secretary,  organizer,  as- 
sistant business  representative,  busi- 
ness manager  and  president. 

In  1957,  Sidell  was  elected  secre- 
tary-treasurer of  the  Los  Angeles 
County  District  Council  of  Carpen-

ROUNDUP 


STRIKE  ACTIVITY- In  1971  it  was  TdsIow  1970  levels,  the  Labor  Department  reports. 
Man-days  of  idleness  due  to  work  stoppages  was  2.5  working  days  per  1,000  in  1971, 
compared  with  3.7  in  1970. 

ANTI-LABOR  LAWYERS?— The  Brookings  Institution  held  a  press  conference  to  announce 
a  new  book  advocating  a  curtailment  of  bargaining  rights  now  enjoyed  by  public 
employees.  Syndicated  columnist  John  Herling  asked  the  two  authors,  both  Yale 
University  law  professors,  what  kind  of  law  they  taught.  "We  teach  labor  law," 
was  the  response.  "Thank  you,"  responded  Herling,  "we  almost  thought  it  was 
anti-labor  law."  There  was  a  long  silence,  and  another  reporter  claimed  after- 
ward that  20  feet  away  you  could  feel  the  heat  of  the  two  professors  blushing. 

MORE  APPALACHIA  AID— Six  hundred  more  jobless  or  under-employed  persons  through- 
out Appalachia  will  get  on-the-job  training  in  a  $400,000  expansion  of  a  Labor 
Department  contract  with  the  AFL-CIO  Appalachian  Council.  The  expansion  adds 
training  slots  in  Alabama,  Georgia,  Kentucky,  Maryland,  Mississippi,  North 
Carolina,  Ohio,  Pennsylvania,  South  Carolina,  Tennessee,  Virginia  and  West 
Virginia. 

PRODUCTIVITY  UP— The  National  Labor  Relations  Board  reports  an  11%  increase  in 
productivity  per  employee  for  itself  during  the  last  fiscal  year.  NLRB  says  it 
received  10.8%  more  cases  of  all  types  from  unions,  employers  and  individuals, 
and  completed  action  on  15%  more  than  in  fiscal  1970— and  with  a  3%  smaller  staff. 

JOB  CORPS  SCREENING— The  Labor  Department's  Job  Corps  is  mounting  a  major  effort 
to  provide  diagnostic  screening  for  sickle  cell  anemia,  an  inherited  blood 
problem  which  primarily  affects  Uegroes.  It  is  estimated  that  3,000  to  3,500 
youths  entering  the  Job  Corps  next  year  will  have  the  sickle  cell  trait,  making 
it  the  most  common  medical  problem  in  the  Job  Corps. 

CAPITOL  COMMENT— As  Congress  adjourned  in  December,  union  printers  at  the  Govern- 
ment Printing  Office  did  some  toting  up  and  found  that  the  100-member  Senate  did 
nearly  twice  as  much  talking,  1,157  hours,  as  the  435-member  House  of 
Representatives . 

BLUE-COLLAR  PAY"THAWED"-The  federal  government's  650,000  blue-collar  workers  will 
be  able  to  collect  long-overdue  pay  raises  under  an  executive  order  signed  by 
Pres.  Nixon  at  the  urging  of  unions  and  Congress. 

White-collar  federal  employes  and  the  military  received  5.5%  raises  in 
January  under  legislation  passed  by  Congress.  But  the  machinery  for  adjusting 
blue-collar  rates  to  area  changes  in  private  industry  wage  scales  had  been  frozen 
since  last  summer  by  presidential  order. 

The  "thaw"  announced  by  the  President  will  permit  retroactive  payment  of 
those  wage  increases  that  were  held  up  by  the  freeze  and  resumption  of  wage 
board  surveys  to  set  new  pay  schedules  in  other  localities. 

The  presidential  action,  however,  limited  the  raises  to  the  5.5% 
pay  guideline. 

PERSONAL  INCOME— Despite  claims  of  the  Nixon  Administration  that  the  economy  has 
been  advancing,  the  rate  of  gain  for  personal  income  last  year  was  less  than 
in  1970.   The  1971  rate  of  gain  was  6.5%.  .In  1970  it  was  seven  percent.   The  1971 
gain  was  the  lowest  in  eight  years. 

Wage  and  salary  disbursements  increased  six  percent  but  the  manufacturing 
industries  showed  the  smallest  gain — only  2.5%  as  compared  with  9.5%  in  services.

SYNTHETIC 

TURF 


■  Since  the  Age  of  Synthetic 
Fibers  was  ushered  in,  after  World 
War  II,  thousands  of  mowers  of 
home  lawns  have  dreamed  of  an 
artificial  turf  which  keeps  its  color 
year  around  and  never  needs  to  be 
clipped. 

Football  coaches  who  have  seen 
their  muddy,  unrecognizable  play- 
ers bogged  down  and  slipping  in 
the  mire  of  a  rainy  weekend  grid- 
iron battle  have  prayed  for  any  kind 
of  playing  surface  but  mud. 

Finally,  in  the  early  1960's  sev- 
eral manufacturers  began  studying 
ways  and  means  of  answering  such 
prayers. 

One  of  the  leaders  in  the  develop- 
ment of  a  synthetic  turf,  The  Mon- 
santo Co.,  was  asked  by  the  Ford 
Foundation  to  intensify  its  work  to 
meet  growing  demands  for  sports 
and  recreational  facilities. 

Monsanto  had  already  begun  re- 
search work  at  a  plant  in  Decatur, 
Ala.,  and  as  a  result  of  that  research 
came  out  with  a  pioneering  prod- 
uct. In  1966,  the  Astrodome  in 
Houston,  Tex.,  received  an  indoor 
Astro  Turf  baseball  field.  In  1967, 
the  world's  first  two  outdoor  syn- 
thetic athletic  fields  were  installed 
when  Astro  Turf  went  in  at  the  Seat- 
tle, Wash.,  Memorial  Stadium  and 
the  Indiana  State  University  play- 
ing field  at  Terre  Haute.  Union 
Carpenters  worked  in  these  early 
installations. 

Astro  Turf  has  been  greatly  im- 
proved in  the  few  years  since.  It 
has  been  adapted  to  other  uses. 
There  are  specially-engineered  nylon 
surfaces  for  golf  tees,  golf  greens, 
playgrounds,  field  houses,  landscap- 
ing, and  tennis. 


A  cutaway  section  of  a  typical  AstroTurf  attiletic  field  installa- 
tion. Next  to  tlie  soil  is  a  layer  of  crushed  rock  base,  topped  by 
a  layer  of  asphalt  to  assure  proper  grade  and  drainage.  Bonded 
to  the  asphalt  is  the  white  shock  absorbing  pad  which  is  bonded 
to  the  AstroTurf  itself.  To  either  side  are  the  anchoring  devices. 
In  an  actual  installation  a  system  of  drain  tiles,  positioned  next 
to  the  anchoring  devices,  provides  for  rapid  drainage  of  surface 
water.  Each  AstroTurf  installation  is  especially  tailored  to  the 
climatic  conditions  of  the  particular  location  in  order  to  assure 
year-round  service,  proper  water  drainage  and  a  playing  sur- 
face that  is  always  uniform. 


In  fact,  manufacturers  of  syn- 
thetic turf  expect  to  make  their  "big 
money"  some  day  in  landscaping. 
They  aren't  always  making  a  profit 
on  football  fields  .  .  .  though  such 
installations  help  to  dramatize  the 
product. 

There  are  other  synthetic  turfs 
besides  Astro  Turf — Polyturf  and 
Tartan  Turf,  to  name  two — and 
these  are  installed  by  Brotherhood 
members. 

The  Brotherhood  does  not  view 
such  work  as  normal  building  and 


construction  work.  Therefore,  the 
agreement  with  management  which 
covers  such  work  was  concluded  on 
a  vertical  basis,  wherein  the  com- 
pany recognizes  the  United  Broth- 
erhood as  sole  and  exclusive  bar- 
gaining representative  for  all  em- 
ployees on  these  installations.  In 
1970  a  national  agreement  was 
signed  with  Sport  Install,  Inc.,  the 
Monsanto  subsidiary.  Though  there 
have  been  some  non-union  installa- 
tions of  competing  turfs,  union  Car- 
penters, for  the  most  part,  do  the 
work  in  this  growing  field.  ■

■  During  June,  1 97 1 ,  a  crew  of  skilled  Brotherhood 
members,  employed  by  Sport  Install,  Inc.,  laid  10,000 
square  yards  of  synthetic  turf  on  the  playing  field  of 
Soldier  Field,  Chicago.  It  was  a  smooth,  efficient  op- 
eration, typical  of  many  Astro  Turf  installations  by  the 
Monsanto  Company  subsidiary. 

Such  work  has  been  covered  by  a  national  agree- 
ment between  the  Brotherhood  and  Sport  Install,  Inc. 
since  February  1 1,  1970.  It  was  one  of  more  than  a

recent  months.

to  200  feet  long.  The  rolls  are  usually  seamed  to- 
gether on  the  marking  stripes.  The  surface  and  the 
shock-absorbing  pad  are  bonded  directly  to  an  asphalt 
base. 

Drainage  is  achieved  by  crowning  the  field  by  some 
14  to  18  inches.  The  synthetic  material  is  impervious 
to  water,  and  the  crown,  lower  than  many  natural 


grass  fields,  allows  the  water  to  drain  off  the  field  to 
the  sides. 

Monsanto  estimates  that  a  typical  Astro  Turf  sur- 
facing for  a  football  field  costs  in  the  neighborhood  of 
$250,000  FOB  factory.  The  price  varies  with  the 
cost  of  the  subsurface  work.  The  price  includes 
material,  subsurface  work,  and  installation,  with  a 
seven-foot  out-of-bounds  area  around  the  field. 

The  installation  is  highly  mechanized.  Special 
vehicles  had  to  be  designed  and  manufactured  to  speed 
and  facilitate  the  work.  Because  of  the  special  train- 
ing needed  for  many  of  the  jobs.  Sport  Install  carries 
a  crew  of  specialists  to  each  new  job,  supplementing 
them  with  local  Carpenters. 

Astro  Turf  has  been  used  on  some  outdoor  playing 
fields  for  two  and  more  seasons  with  no  fiber  deteriora- 
tion or  discoloration.  Monsanto  warrantees  the  fields 
for  five  years.  ■

To  Turf  or  Not 
To  Turf  That 
Is  the  Question 

■  There  has  been  a  controversy  mov- 
ing back  and  forth  across  America's 
sports  pages  in  recent  months  over 
whether  synthetic  turf  is  good  or  bad 
for  the  gridiron  sport.  Some  sports  writers 
suggested  that  the  Super  Bowl  was  moved 
from  Miami  back  to  New  Orleans  be- 
cause of  the  synthetic  mat  in  the  Orange 
Bowl.  Early  last  year.  Dr.  James  G. 
Garrick,  an  orthopedic  surgeon  of  Se- 
attle, claimed  that  the  injury  rate  was 
50%  higher  on  dry  synthetic  turf  than  on 
either  wet  synthetic  turf  or  grass  in  any 
condition. 

Football,  no  matter  where  it  is  played 
is  a  rugged  contact  sport,  and  injuries 
will  occur.  Synthetic  turf  is  a  dramatic 
innovation  in  sports,  and  it  has  been  the 
scape  goat  for  injuries,  slippings,  and 
abrasions.  Tests  show  however,  that, 
compared  with  plain  old  grass,  synthetic 
turf  has  many  advantages.  Alabama 
Coach  "Bear"  Bryant  says:  "I  feel  that 
the  availability  of  a  consistent  playing 
surface  in  all  kinds  of  weather  has  been 
a  great  help  to  our  program."  John  Pont, 
head  coach  at  Indiana  University,  echoes 
many  coaches:  "Our  players  simply  pre- 
fer Astro  Turf."  ■ 


HUTCHESON    RETIRES 

Continued  from  page  5 
ters,  whose  more  than  55,000  mem- 
bers make  it  the  largest  in  the 
nation.  He  was  responsible  for  main- 
taining and  protecting  the  jurisdic- 
tion of  all  phases  of  the  Brotherhood 
and  coordinating  the  operations  of 
33  local  unions  and  75  business 
organizations  throughout  Los  Ange- 
les County. 

He  was  an  executive  board  mem- 
ber of  the  California  State  Council 
of  Carpenters,  and  executive  board 
member  of  both  the  California  State 
and  Los  Angeles  County  Building 
and  Construction  Trades  Councils, 
secretary  of  the  Southern  California 
Conference  of  Carpenters — the  ne- 
gotiating body  representing  the 
eleven  southern  counties  of  Cali- 
fornia— and  vice  president  of  the 
California  Labor  Federation,  AFL- 
ClO. 

Sidell's  wide  civic  and  social  in- 
terests carried  him  to  membership 
on  the  California  Governor's  Ad- 
visory Commission  on  Housing 
Problems,  the  Los  Angeles  Mayor's 
Labor-Management  Committee;  the 


executive  board  of  both  the  Cali- 
fornia and  Los  Angeles  Committee 
on  Political  Education  and  secre- 
tary-treasurer of  the  Organized 
Labor  Voters  Registration  Service, 
Inc. 

In  1962,  Sidell  was  elected  as 
General  Executive  Board  Member 
of  the  Carpenters  for  the  Eighth 
District.  When  the  late  Finlay  C. 
Allan  moved  up  to  fill  a  vacancy 
in  August,  1964,  Sidell  was  ap- 
pointed Second  General  Vice  Presi- 
dent. Then  in  April,  1970,  follow- 
ing Allan's  death,  he  became  First 
General  Vice  President,  taking  on 
the  responsibilities  for  apprentice- 
ship and  training,  fields  in  which  he 
long  has  had  a  deep  interest. 

In  his  letter  of  resignation.  Presi- 
dent Hutcheson  commented: 

"I  have  been  a  part  of  the  United 
Brotherhood  of  Carpenters  and 
Joiners  of  America  for  a  long,  long 
time.  When  I  point  out  that  ten  of 
the  fourteen  members  of  the  General 
Executive  Board  who  are  currently 
serving  with  me  were  not  even  bom 
at  the  time  I  received  my  journey- 
man's card,  I  think  the  point  is  dra- 
matically emphasized."  ■

ARPERS  FERRY 

The  Millwright's  Town 
That  Made  History 


■  On  the  chilled  and  rainy  night 
of  October  16,  1859,  the  little  town 
of  Harpers  Ferry,  Va.,  suddenly 
leaped  into  the  pages  of  American 
history. 

The  abolitionist,  John  Brown, 
with  18  men,  attacked  the  Federal 
Armory  which  stood  below  the  town, 
near  the  junction  of  the  Shenandoah 
and  Potomac  Rivers. 

Brown  hoped  by  his  action  to 
strike  the  spark  which  would  cause 
the  slaves  to  rebel  and  the  abolition- 
ists and  their  sympathizers  to  solve 
by  force  the  moral  dilemma  which 
had  long  plagued  the  young  nation. 
Instead,  U.S.  Marines  stormed  the 
armory  engine  house,  killed  10  of 
the  raiders  and  captured  their  leader. 


Brown  was  tried  at  nearby  Charles 
Town  for  murder,  treason,  and  con- 
spiring with  slaves  to  commit  trea- 
son. Found  guilty,  he  was  hanged 
on  December  2  of  the  same  year. 

It  was  a  brief  and  tragic  encoun- 
ter in  American  history,  and  the 
story  is  retold  in  museums  and 
markers  in  a  picturesque  national 
historical  park  at  Harpers  Ferry. 

Few  visitors  know  much,  how- 
ever, of  Robert  Harper,  the  mill- 
wright for  whom  the  town  is  named, 
or  realize  that  the  town  itself  might 
not  have  come  to  be  except  for  this 
millwright's  need  for  a  new  lease  on 
life. 

The  millwright  of  the  17th  Cen- 
tury was  not  the  millwright  of  today. 


There  was  no  such  power  source  as 
electricity  or  gasoline.  James  Watt 
had  just  perfected  the  steam  engine 
and  it  was  not  yet  in  common  use. 

Water  was  the  only  natural  source 
of  power.  It  was  diverted  into  ponds, 
tunnels,  and  chutes  and  over  mill 
wheels.  In  this  period,  except  for 
a  little  help  from  windmills  and 
animals,  man  had  to  place  his  mills 
next  to  water  courses.  Power  could 
be  conducted  only  as  far  as  a  shaft 
or  a  belt  could  be  run  from  a  water 
wheel. 

Many  towns  in  colonial  America 
grew  up  around  water  courses  and 
grist  mills,  where  farmers  gathered 
to  turn  their  grain  into  flour  and 
meal,  to  exchange  news  and  gossip.

and  to  sharpen  and  repair  tools  un- 
der the  skilled  eye  of  a  miller  or  a 
millwright. 

Other  towns  sprang  up  at  ferry 
landings,  where  settlers  sometimes 
waited  for  days  and  weeks  for  sup- 
plies or  for  fellow  travelers  to  join 
them  on  long  and  arduous  treks  to 
the  frontier. 

It  was  in  such  an  era  as  this  that 
Robert  Harper,  Pennsylvania  mill- 
wright, was  able  to  bring  his  vitality 
to  bear.  Described  as  an  energetic 
man  "well  suited  to  pioneer  life,'' 
he  was  of  medium  height  but  con- 
siderable physical  strength. 

There  is  some  disagreement 
among  historical  searchers  as  to  his 
place  and  date  of  birth;  was  it  Ox- 


ford, England,  or  the  early  Quaker 
community  of  Oxford,  Pennsyl- 
vania? Was  it  in  1703  or  1718? 
His  early  life  is  somewhat  confused 
by  conflicting  family  records. 

In  his  youth  he  was  apprenticed 
to  an  architect,  house  and  mill  build- 
er, later  becoming  a  journeyman  in 
the  Philadelphia  area.  In  1738  he 
was  married  to  Rachel  Griffith.  He 
was  successful  for  a  time,  but  then 
"everything  went  wrong,"  as  he  told 
friends  later.  He  erected  a  church 
for  the  Protestant  Episcopalians  in 
Frankfort,  six  miles  outside  of  Phila- 
delphia, and  somehow  lost  money 
on  the  undertaking. 

He  decided  to  leave  the  area  and 
start  anew.    After  settling  with  his 


creditors,  he  had  about  400  guineas 
left  (gold  coins  worth  about  21 
shillings  each). 

He  wavered  between  Charleston, 
S.C.,  and  Albany,  N.Y.,  as  his  new 
home  and  finally  decided  upon 
Charleston,  making  plans  to  leave 
on  the  first  boat. 

At  the  time  he  was  preparing  to 
leave.  The  Society  of  Friends 
(Quakers)  were  holding  a  major 
meeting  in  the  City  of  Brotherly 
Love,  and  members  from  Apple  Pie 
Ridge,  Va.,  were  looking  for  a  mill- 
wright to  settle  in  their  state  and 
build  mills  for  them.  They  examined 
his  work  in  the  area  and  finally  in- 
duced him  to  come  to  Apple  Pie 
Ridge.

THE    CARPENTER 


On  March  10,  1747,  he  started 
south  as  agreed,  leaving  his  wife 
behind  until  he  could  send  for  her. 
On  the  sixth  day  he  reached  Fred- 
erick, Md. 

About  dusk  of  that  same  day  a 
German  peddler  named  Peter  Hoff- 
man arrived  in  Frederick,  riding  one 
horse  and  leading  two  others  packed 
with  goods. 

The  two  became  acquainted,  and 
Hoffman,  learning  of  Harper's  desti- 
nation and  route,  which  was  to  cross 
the  Potomac  above  Antietam  Creek, 
suggested  the  shorter  and  more 
scenic  route  through  "The  Hole," 
the  popular  name  at  the  time  for  the 
beautiful  gorge  where  the  Shenan- 
doah and  Potomac  Rivers  met  and 
flowed  southeast  to  the  sea. 

Hoffman,  according  to  one  ac- 
count, described  in  glowing  terms 
the  great  opportunity  offered  by  the 
water  power  there  to  build  mills  and 
set  up  small  industries.  Hoffman 
was  persuasive,  and  he  joined  Har- 
per in  the  journey  to  The  Hole. 

There  Harper  was  introduced  to 
the  only  resident,  Peter  Stevens,  a 
squatter  on  the  lands  of  the  colonial 
owner.  Lord  Fairfax,  and  the  opera- 
tor of  a  small  and  uncertain  ferry. 

Harper  was  awed  by  the  scenery 
and  the  potential  before  him.  He 
bought  Stevens'  cabin,  his  com  field, 
and  his  ferry  equipment.  Then,  be- 
ing concerned  with  the  legality  of  his 
transaction,  he  went  to  Greenway, 
Lord  Fairfax's  estate  downriver,  and 
obtained  a  patent  to  the  land. 

Then,  according  to  one  biogra- 
pher, he  went  on  to  Apple  Pie 
Ridge  to  build  a  mill  for  the  Quak- 
ers as  promised.  He  returned  to 
The  Hole,  brought  his  wife  from 
Philadelphia,  and  then  moved  into 
Stevens'  cabin. 

In  1748  there  was  a  great  flood 
of  the  Potomac  which  drove  the 
Harpers  from  the  cabin  temporarily. 
Then  in  1753  came  "The  Pumpkin 
Flood,"  so  called  because  great  num- 
bers of  pumpkins  which  had  washed 
away  from  the  gardens  of  Indians 
farther  up  the  rivers  came  bobbing 
in  great  numbers  into  The  Hole. 
The  house  was  flooded,  and  Harper 
decided  to  build  another  house. 

In    the    late    summer    of    1755 

Harper  made  one  of  several  trips  to 

Philadelphia,  partly  to  advertise  for

THE  HARPER  HOUSE 


The  oldest  surviving  structure  in 
Harpers  Ferry  is  The  Harper  House, 
shown  above  a  monument  to  the 
perseverance  of  the  town's  founder. 

Harper  first  hved  in  a  log  cabin 
on  the  mud  flats  near  the  junction  of 
the  rivers.  Later,  he  built  a  stone 
house  and  a  flour  mill  on  the  banks 
of  the  Shenandoah.  Floods  and  time 
destroyed  these  structures,  and, 
finally,  in  1775.  he  built  a  third  home 
high  above  all  possible  flood  levels. 

Because  of  a  labor  shortage  during 
the  Revolutionary  War,  the  house 
was  not  completed  until  1782.  Neither 
Harper  nor  his  wife  lived  in  Ihis 
house,  however,  for  they  both  died 
before  it  was  ready  for  occupancy. 

The  building  has  two  rooms  on 
each  of  three  floor  levels.  The  lower 
floors  were  heated  by  a  corner  fire- 
place in  each  room  placed  back  to 
back  with  a  central  chimney  on  the 
north  wall.  A  bench  was  cut  in  the 
rock  hillside  to  serve  as  a  foundation 
for  the  structure  using  the  removed 
stone  for  a  portion  of  the  walls.  At 
the  basement  level  were  located  the 
kitchen  and  a  storeroom.  Running 
water  was  provided  by  a  spring  that 
ran  underground  from  the  garden 
above  the  house,  through  the  kitchen 
and  out  the  other  side. 

For  a  few  years  following  Harper's 
death  the  building  was  used  as  a 
tavern.  It  was  during  this  period  that 


Thomas  Jefferson  and  George  Wash- 
ington visited  Harpers  Ferry  and 
stayed  at  the  Harper  House. 

In  subsequent  years.  Harper  House 
was  used  as  a  home  and  was  sub- 
jected to  several  alterations.  The  most 
extensive  of  these  occurred  in  1832-33 
when  the  Wager  House  was  added 
to  the  north  side  of  the  Harper  House. 
As  the  two  buildings  were  to  be  oc- 
cupied jointly,  several  doors  were  cut 
into  the  party  wall  between  the  two 
and  a  common  stairway  was  in- 
corporated in  the  Wager  House  por- 
tion. With  such  items  as  solid  silver 
door  hardware  and  expensive  wall- 
paper imported  from  France,  the 
combined  old  and  nev/  houses  were 
referred  to  by  the  townspeople  as 
"The  Mansion."  When  the  new  addi- 
tion passed  out  of  the  Wager  owner- 
ship, the  interconnecting  doors  were 
closed  off.  thus  leaving  the  Harper 
House  without  access  between  floors. 
The  problem  was  solved  by  building 
the  south  porch  with  its  outside  stair- 
way together  with  the  cellar  stairs 
opening  off  the  Public  Way.  A  bridge 
ran  from  the  second  floor  porch  across 
the  Public  Way  to  the  garden  area 
above  the  house. 

Many  of  the   numerous   occupants ' 
of  the   Harper  House  witnessed   stir- 
ring   events    that    helped    shape    the 
course    of    our    nation's    history    and

National  Transportation  Policy  Is  72 
Goal  of  AFL-CIO  Maritime  Trades  Unions 


B  The  problems  of  the  entire  North 
American  transportation  industry  were 
discussed  by  delegates  to  the  recent 
biennial  convention  of  the  AFL-CIO 
Maritime  Trades  Department.  Though 
the  maritime  trades  are  directly  con- 
cerned with  the  decline  in  shipbuilding 
and  the  problems  of  cut-rate,  runaway 
shipping,  they  felt  that  their  problems 
meshed  so  tightly  with  all  transporta- 
tion problems — land,  sea,  and  air — 
that  delegates  to  the  convention  called 
for  the  establishment  of  a  new  national 
transportation  policy  and  created  a 
special  committee  to  study  the  matter. 
Pointing  to  the  widespread  problems 
in  transportation,  the  enabling  resolu- 
tion declared  that  the  Nation  needs  a 
"national  transport  policy  that  will 
answer  many  of  the  questions  that 
face  transportation  and  that  will  bal- 


ance the  needs  and  development  of  all 
the  transport  modes  so  that  America's 
transport  modes  will  be  able  to  serve 
each   other   and   the   public   interest," 

Senator  Vance  Hartke  (D-Ind.),  in 
a  major  address  to  the  convention,  told 
the  delegates  that  the  Nation's  trans- 
portation system  is  in  danger  of  total 
collapse  unless  action  is  taken  to  cre- 
ate a  unified  network  of  water,  rail 
and  motor  transit. 

He  cited  the  "danger  signs"  of  a 
transportation  crisis — high  unemploy- 
ment, low  factory  productivity  and 
inflation. 

"Despite  its  crucial  importance,"  he 
said,  "the  American  transportation 
system  is  in  serious  trouble.  The  next 
few  years  may  bring  more  railroad 
bankruptcies,  the  demise  of  literally 
thousands    of    small    truckers    and    a 


The  Prime  Trade  Union  Weapon  to  Counter 
Low-Wage  Imports:  Union  Label  Buying 


■  The  union  label  was  unveiled  as  the 
prime  trade  union  weapon  to  counter 
low-wage  imports  at  the  recent  55th 
Convention  of  the  AFL-CIO  Union 
Label  and  Service  Trades  Department. 
The  department's  secretary-treasur- 
er, Edward  P.  Murphy,  declared,  "It  is 
ironic  that  97  years  ago  a  union  label 
was  designed  to  combat  imports.  Now 
almost  a  century  later,  we  are  faced 
with  the  same  problem." 


Brotherhood  delegates  attending  the 
convention  voiced  support  of  the  de- 
partment's efforts  to  promote  the  "Buy 
American"  slogan,  keeping  in  mind 
their  responsibility  to  bolster  the  vvel- 
fare  of  Canadian  members  with  simi- 
lar promotion  there. 

They  listened  with  interest  to  Mur- 
phy's description  of  the  growth  of 
multinational  corporations,  managed 
economics,  and  restrictive  agreements 


trend  to  increased  concentration  in  the 
inland  water  industry  that  could  put 
dozens  of  small  and  medium-sized 
barge  operators  out  of  business." 

AFL-CIO  Secretary-Treasurer  Lane 
Kirkland  told  the  delegates  that  de- 
spite the  passage  of  the  Merchant 
Marine  Act  of  1970.  "Any  hope  for 
the  future  of  this  industry  boils  down 
to  the  simple  fact  of  whether  you  get 
cargo,  or  whether  you  get  the  busi- 
ness." 

He  noted  that  "only  five  percent  of 
our  total  imports  are  carried  in  Amer- 
ican bottoms"  and  this  "pretty  well 
proves"  that  American  importers  and 
exporters  "are  unconcerned  about  the 
future  of  this  industry  or  of  this  vital 
segment  of  the  American  economy." 

Imports  and  exports,  directly  related 
to  the  entire  question  of  foreign  trade 
and  its  impact  on  U.S.  jobs,  occupied 
the  attention  of  the  delegates  for  a 
considerable  period. 

An  emotionally-packed  session  saw 
a  parade  of  union  leaders  cite  the  loss 
of  thousands  of  jobs  of  their  members 


— all  factors  which  no  longer  permit 
the  free  exchange  of  exports  and  im- 
ports. 

"We  can  no  longer  support  policies 
which  promote  a  decline  in  our  tax 
base,  a  drop  in  our  industrial  produc- 
tivity and  our  way  of  life,"  Murphy 
said. 

Said  Murphy:  "A  half  million  jobs 
lost  due  to  trade  policies  is  no  small 
matter  to  organizations  dedicated  to 
preserving  job  .security  of  working  men 
and  women." 

He  urged  that,  among  other  steps, 
union  label  agreements  should  he

as  the  convention  voted  to  launch  a 
strong  campaign  to  stop  the  drain  on 
the  the  Nation's  labor  market  of  over- 
seas imports. 

President  George  Baldanzi  of  the 
United  Textile  Workers  declared  that 
foreign  trade  legislation,  now  pending 
in  Congress,  must  be  broadened  to 
provide  retroactive  protection  to 
American  industries  and  workers  who 
have  suffered  from  the  low-cost  for- 
eign imports  for  more  than  a  decade. 

He  called  for  imposition  of  quotas 
on  foreign  textile  and  apparel  imports 
from  all  Far  Eastern  countries  similar 
to  those  negotiated  recently  with  Ja- 
pan. Baldanzi  and  President  Charles 
Feinstein  of  the  Leather  Goods  Work- 
ers have  headed  an  MTD  study  the 
last  two  years  directed  at  foreign  im- 
ports and  their  impact  on  the  jobs  of 
American  workers. 

President  Lester  Null  of  the  Pottery 
Workers  reported  that  the  pottery  in- 
dustry had  been  so  depleted  that  it  no 
longer  even  has  the  capacity  to  manu-

"If  the  14  million  AFL-CIO  mem-

down  ships  bringing  in  goods  produced 
at  low  wages  in  foreign  countries,"  he 
declared. 

Murphy  also  said  that  the  Depart- 
ment would  pursue  the  consumer  boy- 
cott in  the  future  and  that  it  is  setting 
up  boycott  machinery. 

"We  will  be  selective  in  our  boy-

ineffective  due  to  overuse,"  he  cau-

HARPERS  FERRY 

Continued  from  page  13 
"people  to  go  to  the  bush."  He  did 
this  by  erecting  a  sign  in  the  city 
square.  All  he  enlisted  for  his  trou- 
ble was  a  young  doctor  and  his 
bride,  who  accompanied  him  to 
Harpers  Ferry  and  then  traveled  on 
to  Winchester,  Va.,  to  establish  the 
young  doctor's  practice. 

Despite  these  setbacks.  Harper 
persisted  in  his  determination  to 
make  a  go  of  his  new  homesite.  His 
old  friend,  Hoffman,  became  his 
agent  in  various  pursuits.  The  Gen- 
eral Assembly  of  Virginia,  during 
its  1763-64  session,  granted  him  a 
charter  for  his  feriy.  Harper  set  up 
a  grist  mill  and  a  sawmill  on  the 
Shenandoah. 

About  1775  he  moved  out  of  the 
Stevens  cabin  and  into  his  second 
house.  Shortly  thereafter  he  began 
work  on  a  stone  residence  high  up 
on  the  hill  which  commanded  a  view 
of  the  river  fork. 

There  was  restless  change  in  the 
colonies  at  this  time,  and  in  the  late 
70's  it  erupted  into  revolution 
against  England.  At  first  Harper 
was  a  Tory  in  sympathy,  but  he 
began  to  side  with  the  colonists 
when  officers  of  the  British  crown 
in  Virginia  began  extracting  finan- 
cial aid  from  him  for  the  pursuit  of 
the  war. 

All  during  the  revolution  he  con- 
tinued to  work  on  his  third  and  final 
house.  But  craftsmen  had  gone 
downriver  to  join  General  Washing- 
ton, and  it  was  not  until  1780  that 
the  house  was  finished. 

It  is  doubtful  that  the  Harpers 
ever  occupied  their  new  home. 
Rachel  Harper  died  in  1780  after 
a  tragic  fall  from  a  ladder.  Robert 
died  two  years  later.  They  left  no 
children. 

At  Harper's  death  there  were  only 
three  houses  at  Harper's  Ferry,  but 
he  had  no  doubt  that  a  town  would 
spring  up  there.  He  set  aside  a 
parcel  of  land  farther  up  the  hill  as 
a  cemetery  and  arranged  to  have 
himself  buried  at  its  center.  He 
left  his  property  to  a  niece  and  to 
relatives  of  his  late  wife. 

Harpers  Ferry  did  grow  for  a 
time.  In  1794,  during  the  adminis- 
tration of  President  George  Wash- 
ington, Harpers  Ferry  was  chosen  as 
the  site  of  the  national  armory  for 


the  young  United  States.  It  is  said 
that  the  Father  of  His  Country  him- 
self recommended  the  site,  and  Con- 
gress bought  Harpers'  original  tract 
of  land  from  his  heirs. 

Hall's  Rifle  Works  was  built  on 
the  Island  of  Virginius,  adjacent  to 
Harpers  Ferry,  in  1817,  but  it  was 
burned  in  1861  to  prevent  its  falling 
into  the  hands  of  Confederate  troops 
during  the  Civil  War. 

The  Chesapeake  and  Ohio  Canal, 
which  was  dug  to  carry  barge  traffic 
to  Cumberland,  Md.,  finally  reached 
the  Maryland  Heights,  across  the 
Potomac  from  Harpers  Ferry,  in 
1833,  and  the  Baltimore  &  Ohio 
Railroad  reached  the  town  a  year 
later. 

After  the  Civil  War,  Harpers 
Ferry  declined,  almost  becoming  a 
ghost  town.  The  old  brick  buildings 
along  Shenandoah  and  High  Streets 
began  to  decay  and  crumble.  Floods 
came,  leaving  high-water  marks  on 
the  buildings  on  the  mud  flats. 

Finally,  in  recent  years,  Congress 
and  the  National  Park  Service, 
spurred  on  by  historians  and  tour- 
ists, turned  the  lower  section  of  the 
town  into  an  historical  park,  where 
all  may  share  the  dreams  and  joys 
of  the  wayfaring  millwright  of  two 
hundred  years  ago.  ■ 

THE  HARPER  HOUSE 

Continued  from  page  13 

they  watched  as  Harpers  Ferry 
developed  from  a  tiny  village  to  a 
highly  industrial  community.  One 
such  occupant  was  the  James  McGraw 
family  that  rented  the  Harper  House 
in  1856  for  $60.00  a  year.  The  Mc- 
Graws  later  moved  to  other  sections 
of  this  row  of  buildings  which  have 
since  been  referred  to  as  Marmion 
Row. 

Because  of  much  family  illness  and 
some  business  adversities,  McGraw 
was  forced  into  bankruptcy  in  1861. 

By  examining  an  inventory  found  in 
the  court  files  of  the  bankruptcy  sale, 
the  artists  of  the  National  Park  Serv- 
ice Museum  Laboratory  were  able  to 
delineate  the  furniture  once  owned 
by  this  upper  middleclass  family.  The 
Shenandoah  and  P)otomac  Garden 
Council  graciously  volunteered  to 
furnish  the  Harper  House  and  have 
scoured  the  Countryside  attempting 
to  duplicate  the  original  furnishings. 
So.  although  these  furnishings  may 
never  have  been  in  this  house,  they 
are  pieces  that  were  used  in.  this  area 
during  the  Civil  War  era.  The  Na- 
tional Park  Service  has  restored  the 
house  to  its  appearance  when  the 
McGraw  family  occupied  the  house.

New  Tax  Reform  Bill  Goes  Into  Effect, 
Unemployment  Insurance  Is  Improved 


Many  legislative  changes  at  all 
levels  of  government  will  be  coming 
into  effect  this  year,  almost  all  of 
which  will  affect  the  living  standards 
and  the  life  style  of  most  Canadians. 

The  most  important  measure  is  the 
hotly-contested  tax  reform  bill,  which 
became  effective  in  the  new  year.  This 
involves  changes  in  income  tax.  cor- 
poration tax.  capital  gains  and  death 
duties. 

The  new  tax  bill  will  abolish  in- 
come taxes  for  a  million  low-income 
people  and  reduce  taxes  somewhat 
for  another  four  million. 

It  will  gradually  cut  corporation 
taxes.  It  introduces  for  the  first  time 
a  capital  gains  tax  on  50%  of  the 
profit  from  sale  of  investments. 

The  NDP  opposition  wanted  a  capi- 
tal gains  tax  on  100%  of  profits  but 
got  nowhere  with  their  proposal. 

Federal  law  experts  have  computed 
the  taxes  which  will  be  paid  by  three 
different  income  levels  in  1972  com- 
pared with  1971. 

A  family  of  two  adults,  one  work- 
ing, and  two  children  under  1  6  with 
income  of  $4,000  will  pay  $71  this 
year  compared  with  $184  last  year. 

The  same  size  family  earning  $8,000 
will  pay  $1 .055  compared  with  $1 .1  87 
in  1971;  and  if  the  family  earns  $10,- 
000,  the  1972  tax  will  be  $1,618  com- 
pared with  last  year's  $1,717. 

Unemployment  insurance  changes 
will  provide  1.200,000  more  employ- 
ees with  coverage.  Up  until  the  end  of 
last  year,  only  those  earning  incomes 
of  less  than  $7,800  were  covered  and 
eligible  for  benefits.  Under  the  new 
regulations,  almost  every  employee 
will  be  covered. 

UI  benefits  go  up  to  a  maximum 
of  $100  a  week.  Coverage  now  also 
includes  sickness  and  maternity  leave 


from    employment.    But    benefits    for 
the  jobless  will  be  taxable. 

The  proposed  family  allowance 
changes  got  sidetracked  in  the  last 
session  of  parliament  but  will  be  re- 
introduced this  year  and  may  come 
into  effect  by  mid-year. 

The  main  effect  of  the  changes  will 
be  to  remove  the  upper  income  fam- 
ilies from  benefits  and  give  more  to 
lower  income  families.  At  present, 
payments  are  made  to  all  families  re- 
gardless of  income. 

The  new  plan  will  be  called  Family 
Income  Security  Plan  (FISP).  Pay- 
ments will  be  based  on  income  and 
size  of  family.  A  family  with  two  chil- 
dren under  1 2  and  income  under 
$5,000  will  receive  $30  monthly.  The 
same  family  with  five  children,  $75 
monthly. 

About  1 ,400.000  families  now  get- 
ting benefits  will  be  cut  off.  About  a 
million  and  a  quarter  will  get  maxi- 
mum payments  and  850.000  will  re- 
ceive partial  benefits. 

Changes  in  legislation  at  the  pro- 
vincial level  will  also  affect  the  tax- 
payer and  consumer. 

In  Ontario  all  people  over  65  will 
receive  hospitalization  and  medicare 
without  payment.  Premiums  under  the 
provincial  plans  will  be  reduced  for 
all  others. 

The  province  also  brought  in  a  lim- 
ited type  of  no-fault  auto  insurance 
but  has  not  gone  so  far  as  Saskatche- 
wan and  Manitoba,  both  of  which 
operate  public  no-fault  plans  of  a  com- 
prehensive type. 

But  one  cost  has  gone  up.  Effective 
at  the  beginning  of  this  year,  first 
class  postage  went  from  7  cents  to  8 
cents  for  the  first  ounce,  from  1  2  to 
14  cents  for  2  to  4  ounces.  If  the 
government  is  determined  to  put  the 
post  office  system  on  a  paying  basis, 
this  is  not  the  end  of  it. 


72  Not  to  Be  'Boom' 
Construction  Year 

Housebuilding  had  a  record  year 
in  1971,  and  the  carryover  of  unfin- 
ished houses  got  1972  off  to  a  good 
start.  But,  although  final  figures  are 
not  in  at  this  date,  the  completions 
will  still  fall  short  of  the  need  esti- 
mated at  250,000  a  year  by  the  Eco- 
nomic Council  of  Canada. 

But  it  is  industrial  and  commercial 
building  that  is  not  as  buoyant  as 
builders  would  like,  except  in  some 
areas. 

However,  a  new  ray  of  optimism 
has  filtered  into  the  industry  through 
industrial  and  governmental  expendi- 
tures for  pollution  control. 

The  anti-pollution  laws  are  getting 
tougher,  so  is  the  policing  of  pollut- 
ing industries.  This  is  forcing  them 
into  heavier  and  heavier  expenditures 
for  pollution  control  installations. 

But  predictions  are  that  1972  will 
not  be  a  boom  year  for  construction. 
Engineers  on  whose  work  the  industry 
depends  are  not  busy  and  predict  lit- 
tle if  any  increase  over  last  year's  con- 
struction volume  of  $15  billion. 

Some  large  engineering  firms  have 
expressed  a  contrary  view  and  feel 
that  the  decline  in  interest  rates  will 
encourage  new  construction  although 
the  improvement  may  not  be  notable 
until  the  summer  months. 

Floating  Canadian 
Dollar  at  U.S.  Par 

Canadians  were  relieved  by  the  re- 
moval of  the  U.S.  surcharge  against 
imports  of  manufactured  goods  from 
this  country,  and  by  the  agreement 
reached  internationally  to  allow  the 
Canadian  dollar  to  float. 

At  this  writing  the  Canadian  dollar 
is  almost  at  par  with  the  U.S.  dollar. 
But  this  is  an  increase  of  about  7% 
in  the  value  of  the  Canadian  dollar  in 
the  last  year  or  so. 

This  has  made  Canadian  exports 
more  costly  and  hit  some  big  indus- 
tries like  pulp  and  paper  badly.  Can- 
ada could  not  afford  to  revalue  its 
dollar  higher  again  and  at  a  fixed 
level.  The  government  is  likely  to 
arrange  matters  so  that  $  Can.  won't 
be  far  off  $  U.S. 

So  far  this  is  encouraging,  but  this 
has  been  tempered  with  concern  that 
the  Trudeau  administration  might  have 
to  give  away  something  for  what  it 
got;  for  example,  a  change  in  the  auto 
pact  between  the  two  countries.  The 


18 


THE    CARPENTER 


auto  pact  has  given  Canada  a  plus 
balance  of  payments  in  the  last  two 
years  or  so  after  20  years  of  running 
deficits  due  to  heavy  imports  of  cars 
and  parts. 

In  1970  Canada  ran  a  favorable 
balance  of  payments  on  merchandise 
trade  amounting  to  three  billion  dol- 
lars. This  slipped  to  two  billion  dol- 
lars last  year. 

If  export  of  dividends,  interest  pay- 
ments, shipping  costs  and  tourist 
spending  are  taken  into  account,  the 
surplus  dropped  to  $1.1  billion  in 
1971.  Still  a  lot  better  than  a  deficit. 

Canada's  sales  to  the  United  States 
account  for  two-thirds  of  total  Ca- 
nadian exports.  That  is  why  this  coun- 
try's trade  relations  with  our  Amer- 
ican friends  are  so  important. 

Canadian  sales  in  1971  to  the  U.S. 
were  up  1 1  ^  in  a  year. 

Now  1972  could  be  a  recovery  year 
in  the  United  States  leading  up  to  the 
November  presidential  election.  This 
could  again  give  a  boost  to  the  Ca- 
nadian economy,  and  encourage  the 
Liberal  government  to  call  a  federal 
election  sometime  before  November, 
say  June  or  October. 


Mackasey  Defends 
New  Legislation 

Federal  Labor  Minister  Bryce  Mac- 
kasey  has  taken  the  bit  in  his  teeth 
and  strongly  defended  his  new  labor 
legislation  against  concerted  and  or- 
ganized attacks  of  big  business  inter- 
ests. 

Speaking  in  Montreal  to  leaders  of 
industry,  labor  and  others  such  as  uni- 
versity people  involved  in  industrial 
relations,  he  charged  the  Canadian 
Manufacturers  Association  and  the 
Chamber  of  Commerce  with  back- 
wardness and  told  them  to  get  into 
the  20th  century. 

His  legislation  would  permit  unions 
to  bargain  or  strike  on  measures  in- 
volving technological  change  intro- 
duced during  the  life  of  an  agreement. 

The  legislation  did  not  pass  parlia- 
ment during  the  last  session  of  1971 
and  will  have  to  be  introduced  again 
in  the  House  of  Commons.  If  it  meets 
rough  going  from  MPs  who  oppose  it, 
it  could  be  held  up  long  enough  to  vir- 
tually wipe  it  out  until  after  the  1972 
federal  election. 


New  Homebuilders 
President  Blames  Land 

The  Toronto  Homebuilders  Associ- 
ation elected  a  new,  younger  president, 
who  wasted  no  time  in  admitting  that 
builders  today  are  producing  homes 
that  people  cannot  afford  to  buy. 

He  attributed  the  high  cost  of  hous- 
ing to  land  costs.  A  dwelling  selling 
for  $37,000,  he  said,  might  be  a 
$17,000  structure  on  a  $20,000  lot. 

He  did  not,  like  others,  blame  la- 
bor. He  said  that  the  relative  value  of 
labor  and  materials  in  homebuilding 
was  constant.  But  land  costs  and  taxes 
were  going  up  and  up. 

He  failed  to  mention  money  costs. 
Mortgage  money  at  9%  and  up  can 
leave  a  big  hole  in  any  pocket. 

Strike,  Lockout 
Time  Down  in  71 

Figures  released  by  the  federal  De- 
partment of  Labor  indicate  that  time 
lost  through  strikes  and  lockouts  in 
1971  was  well  down  from  previous 
years.  Final  figures  for  the  year  should 
be  available  next  month.

14-YEAR-OLD  STUDIES  EARTHQUAKES 

A  carpenter's  level  is  used  to  determine  the  levelness  of  anything.  Any 
apprentice  can  tell  yon  that.  A   14-year-old  boy  named  Brad  Herton.  who 
lives  in  the  San  Fernando  Valley  of  California,  about  10  miles  from  the  San 
Andreas  Fault,  has  other  uses  for  it,  however. 
He  read  in  a  newpaper  about  how  Dr.  Arthur  Sylvester  of  the  University  of 
California  at  Santa  Barbara  is  able  to  predict  earthquakes  with  an  instnmient 
based  on  a  carpenters'  level  called  a  theodolite.  So  for  his  4-H  Club  science 
project  in  school,  he  thought  he  might  by  able  to  set  up  a  simple  early-\\;irning 
earthquake  alarm  system  with  plain  old  carpenter'  levels. 
He  borrowed  five  of  the  seven  levels  which  he  uses  from  neighbors  and.  with 
his  mother's  permission,  set  Iheni  up  in  his  house  and  yard.  Then  he  be- 
gan keeping  extensive  records  of  every  movement  of  the  bubbles  on  his  levels. 
"The  first  week  I  predicted  four  aftershocks  (small  earth  tremors)."  Brad 
reports.  "Sometimes  my  levels  would  predict  a  shock,  and  I  would  have  to 
call  the  California   Institute  of  Technology   to  verify   my   prediction,   because 
it   happened  at   night.   So  far  I've  been    lOO'r    right." 
Dr.  Sylvester  and  West  Coast  seismologists  concede  that  young  Herton  has 
done  well,  but  they  also  say  he's  ideally  located  in  the  right  place  at  the  right 
time  for  such  studies.  They're  encouraging  him,  but  they'll  tell  you, 
meanwhile,  that  a  carpenter's  level  is  best  used  as  a  craftsman's  tool  and 

not  as  a  predictor  of  earthquakes.    ■ 


CAKE  MAKERS  EXTRAORDINARY 

■  The  wife  of  Henry  J.  Rottinghaiis  of  Ankeny.  la.,  likes  to  bake  so 
much  that  Henry  and  some  neighbors  sawed  a  corner  off  the  Rottinghaus 
house  a  few  years  ago  and  moved  a  four-deck  bakery    oven  into  the 
basement. 

Henry  by  trade  is  a  carpenter  and  a  member  of  Local  106,  Des  Moines, 
but  his  wife's  baking  has  turned  him  primarily  into  a  baker's  helper.  He 
spends  long  evenings  in  his  basement  workshop  shaping  strips  of  metal  and 
plastic  into  fancy  cake  cutlers  for  his  wife  and  a  growing  number  of  outside 
customers. 

Henry  doesn't  mind  this,  however.  He's  making  money  out  of  it,  in  fact. 
He  recently  obtained  a  patent  on  his  cake  cutter,  and  a  mail  order  house  is 
selling  all  he  can  turn  out. 

For  years  Mrs.  Rottinghaus  has  been  tinning  out  bread,  doughnuts  and 
decorated  cakes,  serving  as  the  family's  number  two  breadwinner,  but  now 
she  and  her  husband  dream  of  an  honest-to-goodness  downtown  business 
establishment  of  their  own.  with  cake  baking  in  the  front  and  cake  cutter 
manufacturing  in  the  back.  ■

WET  FEET  INSPIRE  INVENTOR 

■  Roy  S.  Stevenson,  a  member  of  Local  329.  Okla- 
homa City,  Okla.,  for  more  than  50  years,  has  been 
a  life-long  inventor.  On  his  74th  birthday,  Stevenson 
was  issued  a  patent  on  a  combination  boat  trailer 
and  boat  dock  which  he  had  invented.  Soon, 
he  hopes  to  find  a  company  which  will  begin 
production   on  his  new  "Travel-Dock." 

The  initial  idea  for  the  "Travel-Dock"  was 
born  because  Mrs.  Stevenson  was  constantly  getting 
her  feet  wet  trying  to  get  in  and  out  of  the  family 
boat.  With  the  new  invention,  it  is  possible  to 
back  the  trailer  and  boat  towards  the  water's  edge 
and  into  the  water  on  any  beach  or  bank  area. 
The  boat  is  launched  in  the  conventional  manner,  and 
the  trailer  then  forms  docking  means.  The  conversion 
from  trailer  to  dock  and  from  dock  to  trailer  can 
be  made  by  one  person  in  as  little  as  one  minute, 
with  the  added  luxury  now  that  everybody  stays  dry. 

Stevenson,  like  any  successful  inventor,  is  not  about 
to  quit  now.  He  is  presently  building  a  dual  engine, 
riding  mower-tractor.  Among  his  other  inventions 
have  been  a  circular  saw  attachment  for  a  tractor  for 
cutting  firewood,  a  pressure  cooker  for  canning 
fruits  and  vegetables  in  the  home,  a  windmill,  unique 
clocks,  chandeliers,  and  an  unusual  nut  cracker.  ■ 


20th  CENTURY  COACHMAN 

■  The  stage  coach  above  is  a  reproduction  of  an  early  type 
which  was  used  in  the  mail  service  between  San  Antonio,  Texas, 
and  Laredo,  Texas,  in  the  late  1880"s.  It  was  hand  crafted  from  the 
wheels  up  by  a  retired  member  of  the  United  Brotherhood  and 
Local  1266,  J.  R.  Stubbs,  who  sits  in  the  driver's  seat.    Stubbs 
reproduced  this  coach  for  an  antique  dealer  in  Austin,  and  his 
handiwork  is  now  displayed  in  front  of  the  antique  shop.  ■

WOOD  IS  HIS  STAFF  OF  LIFE 

■  When  Donald  E.  Wetzler  of  Millerstown,  Pa.,  was  only  five 
or  six  years  old  he  became  engrossed  in  the  work  of  local  wood 
craftsmen. 

"There  were  really  only  two  places  I  was  allowed  to  go — the 
shops  of  Danny  Gabel.  a  skilled  wood  craftsman,  and  Bob 
Hunter,  the  undertaker  and  casketmaker  on  the  next  corner," 
says  Wetzler.  a  member  of  Carpenters  Local  287,  Harrisburg, 

"I  was  always  fascinated  by  the  shavings  from  Hunter's 
plane.  All  the  time  I  was  at  his  workshop,  I'd  sit  on  an  old  keg 
and  keep  my  mouth  shut.  I  was  the  only  kid  allowed  there.  He'd 
throw  the  others  out  because  they'd  torment  him  so  much 
that  he  couldn't  work.'' 

Today,  Wetzler  is  a  skilled  wood  craftsman  himself,  producing 
beautiful  wooden  clocks,  tables,  and  other  objects.  In  addition, 
he  is  one  of  the  most  avid  wood  collectors  in  his  part  of  the 
country.  He  has  wood  samples  from  all  over  the  world — some  of 
which  he  collected  himself  and  some  which  came  by  swapping 
samples  with  fellow  members  of  the  Wood  Collectors'  Society. 

You  name  the  wood,  and  Wetzler  can  describe  it  for  you 
and  maybe  even  show  you  what  it  looks  like.  ■

Over  2,000  persons  celebrated  the  75th 
anniversary  of  Carpenters  Local  13  at  a

Support  Metlox  Boycott 

MANHATTAN  BEACH,  Calif. 
— Members  of  the  International 
Brotherhood  of  Pottery  and  Al- 
lied Workers  urge  you  to  give 
priority  attention  to  its  boycott  of 
the  products  of  Metlox  Manufac- 
turing Co.  of  Manhattan  Beach, 
Calif. 

The  boycott  was  brought  about 
by  management's  stubborn  refusal 
to  sign  a  contract  with  the  Potters. 

The  IBP  AW  has  the  active  sup- 
port of  the  AFL-CIO  Executive 
Council  and  other  major  elements 
of  the  national  trade  union  move- 
ment. 


ranged  the  dinner  and  was  master  of  cere- 
monies for  the  evening. 

Charles  Nichols,  General  Treasurer  of 
the  Brotherhood,  paid  tribute  to  the  role 
of  Local  13  in  the  history  of  the  Broth- 
erhood, which  was  founded  in  Chicago  in 
1881.  He  called  upon  the  members  of 
the  union  to  be  alert  to  events  in  Wash- 
ington, and  to  be  active  in  politics  to 
guard  the  gains  made  by  Local  13  and 
other  labor  organizations  in  the  past  75 
years. 

State  Representative  Thomas  J.  Hana- 
han, a  member  of  Local  13,  pointed  to 
the  tradition  of  the  union  as  the  so-called 
"Irish"  local  .  .  .  now  with  members  of 
all  races  and  many  national  origins.  Han- 
ahan called  on  the  union's  members  to 
take  an  active  role  in  the  legislative  pro- 
gram of  organized  labor. 

George  Vest,  president  of  the  Chicago 
District  Council,  said  that  Local  13  had 
helped  make  the  Chicago  area  100%  or- 
ganized in  the  union's  jurisdiction.  Wheth- 
er the  work  is  residential,  commercial, 
industrial,  or  public,  there  is  a  union 
label  on  the  project.  No  other  area  in 
the  United  States  is  so  well  organized. 


The  final  resting  place  of  the  founder 
and  first  president  of  the  American  Fed- 
eration of  Labor,  Samuel  Gompers,  is 
marked  by  the  simple  gravestone  shown 
above.  It  is  located  ui  Sleepy  Hollow 
Cemetery,  Tarrytown,  N.Y.,  and  it  was 
photographed  by  Chauncey  Dolen  of 
Local  895,  Tarrytown.

THE    CARPENTER 


INSTALLING 
LOCKSETS: 

Problems  and  Solutions 

From  The  Locksmithing  Institute 

■  Very  often,  when  you're  called  upon  to  install  a  new 
door  or  rework  an  old  one,  you  find  that  the  carpentry  is 
pretty  cut-and-dried,  but  that  the  lock  and  associated  hard- 
ware is  another  story.  It  seems  that  the  same  sort  of  prob- 
lems keep  cropping  up,  and  if  you  know  what  they  are 
and  how  to  correct  them,  you  can  add  to  your  own  income 
on  any  given  problem  job,  just  by  effecting  a  simple  repair. 
So  here  are  the  most  common  problems  that  we've  run 
across,  problems  that  anybody  can  cure. 

1.  The  lock  cylinder  will  not  stay  in  the  keyed  knob  after 
the  cylinder  has  been  removed  from  the  lockset. 

Usually  this  is  caused  by  the  cylinder-retaining  springs 
having  been  bent  too  close  together  in  removing  the  cylin- 
der. To  correct  this  condition,  simply  remove  the  cylinder 
and  spread  t4ie  springs  to  the  original  position.  If  you  want 
to  reset  the  position  of  the  springs,  if  they  are  too  short, 
scribe  the  cylinder  at  the  end  of  the  spring  to  form  a  refer- 
ence mark.  Loosen  the  spring  with  a  screwdriver,  as  shown, 
and  move  it  endwise  to  the  required  amount.  Restake  it 
with  a  hammer  and  punch. 

2.  Key  sticks  in  cylinder. 

When  this  happens,  the  key  may  be  removed  by  pushing 
the  exterior  end  of  the  plug  into  the  cylinder  and  at  the 
same  time,  pulling  out  on  the  stuck  key.  To  permanently  cor- 
rect the  condition,  remove  the  cylinder  from  the  lockset, 
remove  the  plug  clip,  and  slightly  bend  the  inward-pointing . 
end  of  each  plug  clip  arm  towards  the  cylinder,  or  put 
shims  between  the  clip  and  cylinder  to  take  up  any  exces- 
sive end  play. 

3.  Latch  bolt  does  not  retract  when  knob  is  turned. 

Disassemble  knob  from  door,  and  determine  that  the 
exterior  knob  stems  are  in  proper  engagement  with  the 
holes  in  the  latch.  If  they  are  and  the  latch  bolt  still  does 
not  retract,  press  the  latch  bolt  with  a  finger  to  make  sure 
there  is  sufficient  clearance.  You  might  have  to  reset  the 
latch-bolt  plate  to  prevent  binding,  or  make  a  larger  clear- 
ance hole  for  the  latch  bolt.  If  everything  else  is  in  proper 
order,  this  may  indicate  the  need  for  a  new  latch,  as  the 
old  one  might  be  worn  or  damaged. 

4.  Latch  bolt  does  not  align  with  strike  plate. 

This  alignment  is  something  you  should  not  do  by  eye. 
The  template  that  comes  with  the  lockset  should  not  only 
be  used  in  setting  the  lock,  but  also  in  setting  the  strike  as 
well!  If  the  alignment  is  incorrect,  remove  the  strike  plate 
and  if  you  still  have  the  manufacturer's  template,  use  it  to 
reposition  the  plate.  Chisel  the  additional  perimenter, 
remount  the  plate  and  fill  the  excess  space  with  wood 
putty. 

5.  The  lockset  assembly  is  made  for  a  standard-thickness 
door,  and  the  installation  requires  a  job  on  a  very  thick 
door.  The  spindle  won't  reach  through. 

A  spindle  extension  is  available  which  can  be  used  on 
installations  where  exceptionally-thick  doors  are  involved.

To  change  position  of  cylinder  retaining  springs: 

1.  Scribe  cylinder  at  end  of  spring  to  reference  location. 

2.  Loosen  spring  with  screwdriver  or  other  tool  as  shown. 

3.  Move  spring  .030  endwise. 

4.  Restake  with  hammer  and  punch. 


IMPROPER 
INSTALLATION 


PROPER 
INSTALLATION 


^^^ 


Locks  should  be  installed  for  key  to  enter  as  shown  in  the 
view,  PROPER  INSTALLATION.'  Improper  installation  allows 
dirt   and   moisture   to   collect   around   tumbler  pins. 


6.  In  installing  a  new  door  in  an  old  jamb,  a  strike  plate 
already  exists.  How  do  you  align  the  new  latch  with  the 
old  strike  plate? 

Start  by  hanging  the  door,  and  then  use  the  template  that 
comes  with  the  lockset.  Center  this  over  the  old  strike 
plate,  and  then  bend  it  around  the  edge  of  the  door  on  the 
high-bevelled  side.  Proceed  to  mark  and  install  the  lockset 
and  latch.   Alignment  should  be  perfect.

Installing  Lock  Sets 

Continued  from  page  25 

7.  Key  enters  cylinder  upside  down. 

The  key  should  always  enter  the  cylinder  with  the  straight 
part  of  the  key  down.  If  you  install  the  lockset  with  the 
cylinder  in  the  wrong  position,  dirt  and  dust  can  enter  the 
area  around  the  tumbler  pins,  as  can  moisture.  In  cold 
weather,  this  is  more  apt  to  cause  a  lock  to  freeze.  To  cor- 
rect this  situation,  remove  the  interior  knob,  the  exterior 
knob,  and  then  invert  and  re-install  the  lockset. 

8.  The  latch  assembly  seems  to  go  too  deep  to  align  with 
the  knob  assembly. 

The  edge  of  the  door  is  bevelled.  In  laying  out  the  temp- 
late, be  sure  that  the  template  is  placed  over  the  HIGH 
side  of  the  edge  bevel,  or  there  will  be  a  discrepancy  of  as 
much  as  1/16-inch  in  aligning  the  knob  set  with  the  latch. 
Should  this  have  happened,  a  cure  can  be  effected  by  re- 
moving the  latch  assembly  and  filing  the  clearance  holes 
for  the  knob  stem  with  a  small  round  file.  This  may  effect 
the  latch  throw  to  an  extent. 

9.  The  latch  does  not  align  properly  with  the  knob  assem- 
bly. 

There  is  usually  a  slight  bevel  on  the  edge  of  the  door. 
It  is  a  common  mistake  to  align  the  template  with  the  edge 
face  of  the  door,  with  the  result  that  drilling  into  the  edge 
for  the  latch  assembly  will  result  in  a  cocked  installation 
with  reference  to  the  door  faces.  Always  drill  for  the  latch 
assembly  in  a  direction  that  is  parallel  with  the  fuces  of  the 
door.

Extended  Jobless  Benefits, 
Broader  Coverage  Now  in  Effect 

Two  important  provisions  of  the  Federal  unemployment 
insurance  system  went  into  effect  January  1 .  All  jobless 
workers  should  be  alerted  to  these  provisions. 

The  national  extended  benefits  provision  of  the  Employ- 
ment Security  Amendments  of  1970  went  into  effect  on 
January  1,  1972,  in  all  states  for  workers  who  have  ex- 
hausted their  regular  benefits.  Under  this  provision,  up  to 
13  additional  weeks  of  benefits  will  be  available  to  insured 
unemployed  workers. 

The  Secretary  said  the  national  extended  benefits  provi- 
sion will  remain  in  effect  until  the  insured  unemployment 
rate  has  dropped  below  4.5  percent  for  three  consecutive 
months.  He  estimated  that  benefits  averaging  $75  million 
will  be  paid  each  month  that  the  provision  remains  in 
effect. 

The  second  important  provision  which  went  into  effect 
on  January  1  extended  unemployment  insurance  coverage 
to  nearly  5  million  additional  jobs,  bringing  the  total  num- 
ber covered  to  more  than  63  million. 

Newly  covered  are  2.1  million  jobs  in  nonprofit  organiza- 
tions that  employ  four  or  more  workers;  1.1  million  jobs  in 
small  firms;  nearly  1  million  jobs  in  State  hospitals  and 
State  colleges;  210,000  outside  salesmen  jobs;  190,000  jobs 
in  agricultural  processing  and  160,000  jobs  held  by  U.S. 
citizens  working  for  American  employers  outside  the 
U.S.  ■

"CLIC"  REPORT 
FOR  THE  YEAR  1971 


Local     City 


The  1971  Membership  Contributions  to  the 
Carpenters  Legislative  Improvement  Committee 


ON  THIS  PAGE  and  the  pages  which  follow  is  a  summary  of 
the  contributions  of  local  union  members  to  the  Carpenters  Legisla- 
tive Important  Committee  during  1971. 

The  1971  drive  for  membership  contributions  was  highly  success- 
ful. More  local  unions  than  ever  before  were  represented.  CLIC  is 
becoming,  more  and  more,  the  grassroots,  rank-and-file  eifort  it 
should  be.  Every  state  was  shown  to  be  active  in  our  program  of 
political  education  and  voter  action. 

THE  1972  FUND-RAISING,  membership  drive  is  now  underway. 
We  have  a  new  emblem  and  new  and  shiny  pins  to  be  worn  by  those 
who  join.  We  urge  every  member  to  participate  in  CLIC's  program 
in  this  crucial  national  election  year. 

IT'S  VOTER  REGISTRATION  time  in  many  states,  and  we  urge 
each  member  to  see  to  it  that  the  eligible  members  of  his  or  her 
family  is  registered  for  both  the  primary  and  general  elections.  Let's 
make  the  Brotherhood's  voter  strength  felt  at  the  polls  in  the  months 
ahead. 

Charles  E.  Nichols,  CLIC  Director 


NOTE:  Those  contributions  listed  at  right  which  are  marked  with  an  asterisk  include

The  first  grader  was  af  the  black-

when  the  teacher  discovered  he  was 
left-handed.  Busy  helping  other  chil- 
dren, she  left  him  alone  for  awhile, 
then  returned  to  discover  that  he  had 
switched  the  chalk  over  to  his  right 
hand.  "I  thought  you  were  left- 
handed,"  she  said. 

The  tyke  was  disgusted.  "Teacher,

"Why  are  you  complaining?"  asked 
the  husband.  "I  got  home  from  the 
union  meeting  last  night  at  a  quarter 
of  twelve!" 

"You  did  not,  you  liar,"  shouted 
his  keeper.  "I  heard  you  come  in 
when  the  clock  was  striking  three!" 

"Well,  stupid,"  replied  the  re-

She   Was  Really   Scent! 

To  give  her  a  needed  boost  after 
a  long  and  trying  day,  the  mother 
took  a  nip  from  a  bottle  of  Scotch. 
As  she  was  tucking  her  young  son  in 
bed,  the  youngster  asked:  "fHey, 
Mom;  how  come  you're  wearing  Dad's 
perfume?"

"hie  may  be  cracked,  honey,"

A  Spade's  Not  A  Spade! 

The  young  superintendent's  first  job

After  one  day,  he  was  summoned  to 
the  Sister  Superior's  office  where  he 
heard  a  complaint  about  the  language 
his  men  used. 

"But  Sister,"  he  said,  "these  are 
just  rough-and-ready  construction 
men.  They  believe  in  calling  a  spade 
a  spade!" 

"That's  the  trouble,  they  don't!" 
the  Mother  Superior  replied.  "They

Finally,  in  desperation,  she  said:  "You

My  Final  Installment: 

With  Malice  Toward  None,  Best  Wishes  To  All 


■  This  month  this  column  actually  lives  up 
to  its  name.  As  announced  elsewhere  in  this  is- 
sue. I  am  retiring  as  of  March  1,  1972.  This 
means  that  this  column  really  is  "in  conclusion." 

I  have  been  a  part  of  the  United  Brotherhood 
for  a  great  many  years.  I  have  seen  it  weather 
many  difficult  periods,  and  I  hope  that  I  have  con- 
tributed something  to  the  successes  which  our 
Brotherhood  has  achieved  over  the  past  half  a 
century. 

I  know  that  members  who  joined  our  organiza- 
tion in  the  past  few  years  are  not  too  excited  about 
the  battles  that  went  on  40  or  50  years  ago.  How- 
ever, the  past  struggles  are  a  part  of  our  heritage 
and  as  such  they  should  not  be  totally  ignored. 

History  seemingly  has  a  way  of  repeating  itself. 
In  the  58  years  I  have  been  a  part  of  our  Brother- 
hood, tremendous  changes  for  the  better  have  oc- 
cured. 

When  I  was  starting  out.  the  son  or  daughter 
of  a  carpenter  who  got  to  college  was  a  rarity 
indeed.  Today,  thousands  upon  thousands  of 
members'  children  are  making  fine  records  in 
universities  all  over  the  United  States  and  Canada. 

At  the  start  of  my  career  there  were  no  such 
things  as  negotiated  pensions.  Social  Security,  un- 
employment insurance,  group  health  insurance, 
or  any  of  the  other  protections  which  make  for 
better  and  more  secure  lives  for  working  people. 

In  all  the  many  struggles  that  took  place  in 
the  legislative  halls  and  at  the  bargaining  table 
to  secure  these  measures,  the  United  Brotherhood 
played  a  vital  role.  It  affords  me  considerable 
satisfaction  to  know  that  I  had  some  small  part 
in  these  achievements. 

However,  the  real  heroes  in  the  endless  struggle 


to  bring  about  better,  happier  and  more  secure 
conditions  for  working  people  are  the  thousands 
upon  thousands  of  dedicated  Brotherhood  mem- 
bers and  hundreds  upon  hundreds  of  hardworking 
Local  Union  and  Council  officers. 

Day  by  day,  they  have  been  on  the  firing  line, 
and  they  have  fought  the  good  fight  in  good  times 
and  bad.  The  cooperation  they  have  given  me 
and  the  General  Office  over  the  years  constitutes 
the  bricks  and  mortar  of  the  foundation  upon 
which  our  Brotherhood  rests. 

Since  this  constitutes  my  last  column.  I  want 
to  express  my  deepest  gratitude  to  everybody  con- 
cerned for  that  cooperation.  Without  the  help 
and  responsiveness  of  our  subordinate  bodies  and 
the  officers  who  head  them,  very  little  could  have 
been  accomplished. 

I  particularly  want  to  express  my  thanks  to  the 
members  of  the  General  Executive  Board  for  their 
loyalty  and  dedication.  All  of  them  are  sincere 
and  capable  men.  It  has  been  a  pleasure  and  a 
privilege  to  serve  on  the  same  team  with  them. 

Now  it  is  time  to  say  adieu.  If  I  had  my  life 
to  live  over  I  would  not  change  a  minute  of  it. 
The  half  century  I  have  spent  serving  our  great 
Brotherhood  is  filled  with  wonderful  memories 
as  well  as  great  satisfactions. 

Not  the  least  of  the  satisfactions  is  knowing 
that  the  Brotherhood  remains  in  capable,  ex- 
perienced hands.  The  Resident  Officers  and  Board 
Members  merit  your  fullest  confidence.  They  are 
seasoned  as  well  as  dedicated,  and  that  makes  an 
unbeatable  combination. 

As  I  now  pass  on  into  retirement.  I  say  good- 
bye with  malice  toward  none  and  best  wishes 
to  all.    ■

Our  new  "Super-Switch"  puts  precise  control  right 

at  your  fingertip.  Gives  you  over  30%  longer  trigger  stroke  for 

more  control  over  your  speed  range  (0-lOOORPM)  than  with 

conventional  speed  control  drills.  And  it  will  outlast  the  others 

because  it's  a  switch  designed  for  use  in  heavy  duty  applications. 

But  that's  only  the  beginning.  This  %"  pistol  grip 

reversible  speed  control  workhorse  has  an  oversized  fan  and 

cooling  system.  And  a  4  amp  rating  (none  higher  in  the  industry). 

Four  ball  bearings  deliver  the  power  to  the  working  end  of  the  tool. 

3  stages  of  heat  treated  precision  gearing  ( most  others  have  two ) , 

provide  all  the  torque  you  need  when  the  drilling  gets  rough. 

Price?  $69.00  -  lower  than  most  others  charge  for  single 

speed  heavy  duty  drills  without  reverse. 

Still  looking  for  reasons  to  buy  our  drill?  Consider 

the  welded  (not  soldered)  leads  to  protect  against  burnout.  The 

removable  3-position  auxiliary  handle  for  complete  torque  control. 

And  new  strain  relief  collar  for  maximum  protection  against 

cord  pullout.  See  your  distributor  today

THE   COVER 

The  Changing  of  the  Guard:  The 
veteran  leader  of  the  United  Broth- 
erhood of  Carpenters  and  Joiners  of 
America,  M.  A.  Hutcheson,  seated  at 
left  on  our  cover,  retired  March  1  as 
General  President  after  two  decades 
of  service  in  the  Brotherhood's  top 
post.  He  is  succeeded  by  the  man  at 
right,  the  hard-working  First  General 
Vice  President,  William  Sidell. 

General  President  Sidell  comes  well 
prepared  for  the  biggest  job  in  the 
Brotherhood.  A  story  about  him  starts 
on  the  ne,\t  page. 

As  provided  by  the  last  General 
Convention,  Brother  Hutcheson  has 
been  granted  the  title  General  Presi- 
dent Emeritus  and  continues  as  an 
EX  officio  member  of  the  General  Ex- 
ecutive Board.  He  declined  to  accept 
full  salary  for  such  service.  He  told 
the  GEB:  "I  am  only  accepting  the 
regular  pension  which  I  have  earned 
in  the  same  manner  and  under  the 
same  terms  as  all  other  retired  officers 
and  representatives."

.  .  PORTRAIT   OF   A    BUS 


■  In  a  way,  William  Sidell 
helps  to  build  an  organization  the 
way  a  carpenter  helps  to  build  a 
house. 

He's  on  the  job  early.  He's  usu- 
ally behind  his  desk  on  the  fourth 
floor  of  the  General  Offices  in 
Washington  before  7:30  a.m. 

Instead  of  blueprints,  he  has 
spread  out  before  him  the  latest 
findings  of  the  Pay  Board,  a  sum- 
mary of  apprenticeship  training 
programs  in  various  parts  of  the 
country,  actuarial  tables  on  pen- 
sion plans. 

His  tools  are  a  steadily  ringing 
telephone,  the  International  Con- 
stitution, a  sharp  pencil,  and 
plenty  of  facts  on  file.  His  helpers 
are  a  busy  office  staff. 

Like  an  experienced  journey- 
man— a  man  for  all  seasons — Bill 
Sidell  never  "loses  his  cool." 
though  he  shoulders  a  work  load 
as  heavy  as  any  man  in  the  Broth- 
erhood. 

On  March  1  he  became  Gen- 
eral President  of  the  United  Broth- 
erhood of  Carpenters  and  Joiners 
of  America,  moving  up,  under 
constitutional  provision,  to  re- 
place Maurice  A.  Hutcheson  in 
the  top  office. 

Sidell  changed  to  his  new  post 
with  ease.  He  has  worked  closely 


with  President  Emeritus  Hutche- 
son since  he  moved  to  the  Broth- 
erhood headquarters  from  Cali- 
fornia in  1 964  to  become  Second 
General  Vice  President.  In  addi- 
tion to  the  assigned  tasks  of  a 
General  Vice  President,  President 
Sidell  took  on  many  jurisdictional 
problems.  In  his  quiet  but  effec- 
tive way,  he  was  instrumental  in 
negotiating  several  industry- 
Brotherhood  agreements. 

A  sturdy,  affable  person,  com- 
petitive by  nature.  Bill  Sidell  was 
a  high  school  football  player  and 
track  man  in  Southern  California. 
He  maintains  a  steady  work  pace 
all  day.  At  the  present  time,  the 
problems  brought  on  by  the  wage- 
price  freeze  keep  him  busy  ap- 
proximately two  days  each  week 
as  he  serves  on  the  Construction 
Industry  Wage  Stabilization  Com- 
mittee. Speaking  engagements 
take  him  to  many  parts  of  North 
America  each  month. 

He  was  elected  to  the  General 
Executive  Board  from  the  Eighth 
District  in  1962  at  the  29th  Gen- 
eral Convention  of  the  Brother- 
hood, held  in  Washington,  D.C. 

He  had  a  distinguished  career 
in  the  labor  movement  of  Califor- 
nia before  becoming  a  member 
of  the  General  Executive  Board. 


THE    CARPENTER 


He  served  as  secretary-treasurer 
of  the  55,000  member  Los  An- 
geles District  Council  and  held  a 
number  of  important  posts  in  both 
the  state  federation  and  in  vari- 
ous civic  bodies. 

He  is  a  member  of  Local  721, 
Los  Angeles,  with  over  30  years 
of  membership.  Immediately  upon 
beginning  his  apprenticeship.  Bill 
showed  keen  interest  in  the  affairs 
of  his  local  union  and  was  soon 
elected  an  officer  and  continued 
to  serve  in  local  union  positions 
prior  to  his  elevation  within  the 
district  council  in  1957. 

He  assumed  his  previous  offices 
well  grounded  in  all  phases  of 
Brotherhood  activities,  and  as 
First  General  Vice  President  took 
on  the  responsibility  for  appren- 
ticeship and  training,  fields  in 
which  he  has  a  deep  interest. 

President  Sidell  is  well  known 
in  the  labor  movement  for  his 
work  on  jurisdictional  dispute 
panels.  He  was  a  member  of  the 
Jurisdictional  Appeals  Board. 

Now  living  in  suburban  Mary- 
land with  his  lovely  wife,  Frankie, 
the  Brotherhood  president  is  a 
father  of  three  and  grandfather 
of  5.  He  is  a  most  worthy  succes- 
sor to  President  Hutcheson  and  a 
man  well  suited  to  the  traditions 
of  the  craft.    ■

Building  Trades  Move  to  Counter 
Nixon.  Non-Union  Labor  Threats 


■  RestRicturing  of  the  AFL-CIO 
Building  and  Construction  Trades 
department  to  give  it  greater  effective- 
ness in  a  two-pronged  fight  against  the 
anti-labor  moves  of  the  Nixon  Ad- 
ministration and  the  in-roads  of  non- 
union labor  in  the  industry  is  now  in 
progress. 

Deeply  concerned  by  these  two  new 
factors  in  the  relationship  of  labor  and 
management  in  the  industry,  the  Ex- 
ecutive Council  of  the  Department, 
meeting  in  Florida,  is  considering  a 
number  of  steps  to  restructure  the  De- 
partment "to  meet  the  new  challenges 
and  opportunities  of  this  period." 

Among  the  new  challenges  presently 
facing  the  building  and  construction 
unions  has  been  the  Nixon  Adminis- 
tration efforts  to  weaken  the  protec- 
tions of  the  Davis-Bacon  Act  and  to 
set  up  apprenticeship  quotas  and  goals 
causing  problems  to  the  industry. 

A  second  challenge  is  the  growth  of 
non-union  contracting,  which  has 
caused  hundreds  of  millions  of  dollars 
in  lost  work  for  union  building  and 
construction  trades  members.  The 
meetings  of  the  Executive  Council 
have  therefore,  been  concerned  with 
discussions  on  productivity,  hours  and

working  conditions  as  well  as  greater 
efficiency  on  the  part  of  contractors 
to  make  union  labor  more  competitive 
with  non-union  labor. 

One  of  the  major  decisions  already 
taken  by  the  Executive  Council  here 
is  to  call  off  the  Department's  national 
legislative  conference  this  year.  Sus- 
pension of  the  four-day  session  which 
brings  to  Washington.  D.C.  nearly 
4,000  delegates  from  throughout  the 
U.S.,  "is  part  of  a  sweeping  reorgani- 
zation of  the  three  million-member 
Department  that  was  authorized  at 
the  56th  biennial  convention  last 
December." 

"We  are  taking  entirely  new  ap- 
proaches to  a  number  of  situations," 
BCTD  President  Frank  Bonadio  said. 
"The  Department  has  conducted  a  na- 
tional legislative  conference  16  times 
in  the  last  two  decades.  We  have  been 
addressed  by  Presidents  of  the  United 
States,  the  top  leaders  and  members 
of  both  parties  of  the  U.S.  Senate  and 
House  of  Representatives,  cabinet 
members,  the  president  of  the  AFL- 
CIO,  heads  of  dcoartments  and  divi- 
sions of  the  AFL-CIO  governors, 
mayors,  officials  of  governmental 
boards  and  agencies  and  outstanding 


representatives  of  the  construction  in- 
dustry. Our  delegates  have  visited  with 
the  Senators  and  Congressmen  from 
their  states  on  Capitol  Hill." 

"These  conferences  have  been  gen- 
erally highly  successful."  Bonadio  con- 
tinued, "but  the  Executive  Council 
feels  that  the  time  now  has  come  to 
consider  a  change  in  the  format,  just 
as  we  are  restructuring  a  number  of 
other  activities  to  meet  the  new  chal- 
lenges and  opportunities  of  this  period. 
It.  therefore,  seemed  practical  not  to 
proceed  with  the  legislative  conference 
at  this  time.'' 

Bonadio  said  that  this  decision  was 
unanimous. 

Members  of  the  Council  include 
Bonadio  and  Secretary-Treasurer  Rob- 
ert A.  Georgine.  Others  are  General 
presidents  M.  A.  Hucheson  of  the 
Carpenters,  Peter  Fosco  of  the  La- 
borers, John  A.  Lyons  of  the  Iron- 
workers. Hunter  P.  Wharton  of  the

THE    CARPENTER 


Rockwell  saws  are 
built  for  builders. 


Nobody  makes  as  many  power 
saws  as  Rockwell.  We  know  what 
skilled  guys  like  yourself  want  in  a 
saw  whether  it's  a  portable,  table  or 
radial  model. 

Portable  saws 

Because  Rockwell  has  13  models, 
you  can  choose  the  size,  speed,  power, 
special  features  and  price  you  want. 
There  are  8"  to  12"  extra  heavy  duty 
models,  6%"  to  IOV4"  heavy  duty 
models  and  6%"  and  IVi"  high  torque 
worm  drive  saws.  There's  even  a  4V2" 
heavy  duty  trim  saw  that's  great  for 
cutting  laminates,  plywood  and 
"problem"  materials. 

They  all  have  the  feel  and  balance 
a  pro  can  appreciate,  failure-protected 
motors  and  ball  bearing  construction. 
Most  have  unique  features  like  an 
exclusive  external  gear  lubricator. 

Table  saws 

Rockwell/Delta  tilting  arbor  saws 
have  been  proven  everywhere — in 
home,  school,  cabinet 
and  woodworking 


shops  and  on  building  sites.  They 
have  convenient,  accurate  controls, 
big  capacity,  extra  large  table 
surfaces  and  rugged  construction. 

Radial  saws 

Every  Rockwell/Delta  radial  saw 
has  up-front  controls  and  famous 
double  overarm  action  for  greater  left 
hand  miter  capacity. 

To  sum  up : 

Rockwell  makes  more  power  tools, 
for  more  jobs,  for  more  industries  than 
anyone  in  the  world. 

For  the  right  saw  or  any  other  power 
tool  for  your  job,  see  your  Rockwell 
distributor.  He's  under  "Machinery" 
in  the  Yellow  Pages.  _- .

First  International  Agreement 
With  Wall  and  Ceiling  Contractors 

PACT  EXPECTED  TO  EASE  DRYWALL-PLASTERING  JURISDICTIONAL  TENSIONS 


B  The  first  international 
agreement  between  the  United 
Brotherhood  and  the  Interna- 
tional Association  of  Wall  and 
Ceiling  Contractors  was  signed 
during  the  recent  lAWCC  con- 
vention in  Denver,  Colo. 

The  agreement  is  the  result  of 
actions  taken  by  the  General  Of- 
fice in  Washington.  D.C.,  to  ease 
the  traditional  tensions  which 
have  existed  between  the  plaster- 
ing and  drywall  industries. 

President  Emeritus  M.  A.  Hut- 
cheson,  in  a  memorandum  to  all 
construction  locals,  and  district, 
state,  and  provincial  councils,  last 
December,  pointed  out  that,  while 
the  agreement  basically  concerns 
drywall  and  acoustical  installa- 
tions, it  also  concerns  various 
forms  of  plaster  finishes,  "as  had 
been   their  traditional  back- 


Nfw  Brotherhood  President  William 
Sidell,  right,  was  a  speaker  at  the 
recent  convention  of  the  International 
Assn.  of  Wall  and  Ceiling  Contractors, 
where  the  agreement  was  consummated. 
Shown  with  him  on  the  speakers'  dais  are 
Harry  Martin,  executive  assistant  to  the 
President  of  the  International  Brother- 
hood of  Painters  and  Allied  Trades,  and 
Dale  Witcraft,  director  of  labor  relations 
for  the  Associated  General  Contractors. 


Participating  in  the  signing  of  the  first  national  agreement  with  the  lAWCC  were, 
from  left:  William  J.  Anderson  and  Frank  .1.  Krafft  of  lAWCC;  Brotherhood  Presi- 
dent William  Sidell;  J.  Munroc.  .  McNulty,  former  president  of  lAW'CC;  John  Rogers 
special  assistant  to  the  Brotherhood's  General  President;  General  Executive  Board 
Member  Patrick  Campbell;  and  Donald  Chambers  of  lAWCC. 


ground."  The  agreement  provides 
for  recognition  of  the  Brother- 
hood's jurisdiction,  the  continued 
training  of  skilled  journeymen  to 
perform  the  work,  and  provision 
for  the  settlement  of  disputes 
which  may  arise  between  contrac- 
tor members  of  the  lAWCC  and 
Brotherhood  affiliates. 

The  memorandum  from  the 
General  Office  further  stated: 
While  this  agreement  does  not  de- 
tail the  jurisdiction  of  the  United 
Brotherhood  as  contained  in  the 
Carpenter-Dry  wall  Specialties 
Agreement,  it  is  recognition  that 
Brotherhood  members  perform 
the  majority  of  work  assignments 
for  these  employers.  Your  contin- 
ued cooperation  and  efforts  will, 
we  believe,  in  the  long  run,  hasten 
the  time  when  there  will  be  no 
jurisdictional  conflict  concerning 
that  work  covered  by  the  status 
quo  agreement,  which  is  and  shall 
remain  in  full  force  and  effect 
between  the  United  Brotherhood 


and  the  Lathers  International  Un- 
ion until  you  are  otherwise  ad- 
vised. .  .  ."' 

The  agreement  with  lAWCC, 
which  was  formerly  known  as  the 
Contracting  Plasterers  and  Lath- 
ers International  Assn.,  provides 
for  the  establishment  of  a  national 
Carpenter-IAWCC  Committee, 
comprised  of  four  persons  repre- 
senting the  United  Brotherhood 
and  four  representing  the  Associ- 
ation for  the  purpose  of  meeting 
periodically  to  implement  the 
agreement. 

Signing  the  agreement  for  the 
Brotherhood  was  General  Presi- 
dent Hutcheson  and  for  the 
lAWCC  were  outgoing  lAWCC 
President  Munroe  McNulty  and 
Secretary  Frank  J.  Krafft.  Rep- 
re.senting  the  Brotherhood  during 
the  negotiations  were  William 
Sidell,  new  General  President  of 
the  Brotherhood,  and  John  Rog- 
ers, special  assistant  to  the  Gen- 
eral President.    ■

Thunk. 


You  just  heard  the  Mezurlok® 
blade  hitting  our  patented 
rubber  blade  cushion. 

A  unique  sound.  Because 
while  anybody  can  make  a 
power-return  tape,  only  Lufkin 
makes  one  with  a  blade  cushion 
to  reduce  end-hook  breakage. 
No  other  tape  has  it. 

Which  isn't  surprising, 
since  we've  been  in  the 


measuring  business  for  over  a 
century.  And  in  all  those  years 
we've  learned  that  people  are 
tough  on  tapes.  So  we're  always 
looldng  for  (and  finding)  ways 
to  make  our  tapes  tougher. 
That's  why  we  coat  our 
easy-to-read  blades  with  long- 
lasting  epoxy.  Offer  you  lengths 
from  6  to  25  feet.  Widths  of  V4, 
V2  or  %  inches.  Yellow  or  white 
blades.  Beat-the-creep  locking 
button. 


We  do  just  as  much  for  our 
folding  wood  rules  and  long 
steel  tapes.  So  they'll  do  even 
more  for  you. 

Try  the  Mezurlok  at  your 
hardware  store.  Then  try  the 
competition.  One  "thunk"  and 
you'll  know  why  nothing 
measures  up  to  Lufkin.

TON     ROUNDUP 


LUNA  TO  STIRLING  HOMEX — Charles  Luna,  President-emeritus  of  the  United  Trans- 
portation Union,  has  joined  Stirling  Homex  Corp.,  the  Nation's  largest  modular 
housing  manufacturer,  as  vice  president  and  Director  of  Transportation. 

Company  officials,  who  announced  Luna's  affiliation  with  the  firm  at  a 
luncheon,  said  he  will  be  hased  at  the  firm's  Washington  office  and  will  be 
responsible  for  direction  and  coordination  of  transportation  matters. 

NLRB  GOES  PART  WAY — The  National  Labor  Relations  Board,  which  is  struggling  with 
the  problem  of  how  to  really  hurt  a  stubbornly  anti-union  employer  who  defies 
the  National  Labor  Relations  Act,  has  taken  an  important  step  forward  but  has 
refused  to  come  through  with  a  really  basic  penalty. 

The  Board  has  imposed  serious  sanctions  on  an  anti-union  company  such  as 
requiring  it  to  meet  the  costs  of  litigation  brought  on  by  its  "frivolous"  conduct, 
but  has  rejected  the  plea  that  it  be  made  to  pay  its  workers  what  they  would  have 
gained  had  a  contract  been  negotiated. 

CANDIDATES  MUST  WAIT — The  official  position  of  the  AFL-CIO,  that  it  "does  not 
support  or  oppose  any  candidate  in  the  19  72  Presidential  election,"  has  been 
spelled  out  by  AFL-CIO  President  George  Meany. 

"Endorsements  of  Presidential  and  Vice  Presidential  candidates,"  Meany  said, 
"are,  under  our  traditional  practice,  a  matter  for  decision  for  the  General  Board 
which  meets  for  such  purposes  after  major  parties  have  chosen  their  candidates. 
The  decision  of  the  General  Board  is  always  official  and  publicly  announced." 

He  added  that  "until  this  decision,  the  political  activities  of  the  AFL-CIO 
will  include  a  vigorous  pursuit  of  our  registration  campaign,  a  major  drive  to 
inform  union  members  about  the  issues  and  the  voting  performances  of  public 
officials  and  plans  for  a  massive  get-out -the-vote  drive  on  Election  Day." 

YEAR-END  JOBLESS? — President  Nixon's  Budget  Message  held  out  little  hope  for  a 
significant  drop  in  unemployment  this  year  despite  rosy  forecasts  of  what's  ahead. 
His  Council  of  Economic  Advisers  now  reports  that  a  five  percent  jobless  rate — or 
more  than  four  million  unemployed — can  be  expected  by  the  end  of  1972. 

The  report  is  optimistic  that  the  national  economy  will  advance,  that  wages 
and  prices  will  be  held  down  and  that  jobs  will  be  created  as  a  result  of  Nixon, 
measures,  but  it  is  hedged  all  over  by  numerous  "if's". 

CREDIBILITY  GAP — President  Nixon's  track  record  as  an  economic  forecaster  is  not  the 
best.   It's  not  only  true  on  unemployment  but  on  cost-of-living  as  well  as  the 
Federal  Budget. 

In  January  1970,  he  predicted  a  $1.5  billion  surplus  in  fiscal  1971  that 
turned  out  to  be  a  $23  billion  deficit.   Last  January  he  forecasted  an  $11.6 
billion  deficit  for  fiscal  1972  that  is  proved  to  be  a  $38.8  billion  in  the  red. 

SAVED  PUBLIC  TRANSIT — Representative  Robert  N.  Giaimo  (D-Conn.)  has  been  honored  as 
"the  man  who  saved  Metro"  by  the  Washington,  D.C.  Central  Labor  Council.   Giaimo 
bucked  House  leaders  to  free  funds  for  a  public  transit  system  at  a  critical 
point. 

SANCTIONS  ON  LABORERS — AFL-CIO  Pres.  George  Meany  has  notified  all  affiliates  that 
the  Laborers'  International  Union  of  North  America  has  been  found  to  be  in  non- 
compliance with  the  decision  of  an  impartial  umpire  under  the  AFL-CIO 's  internal 
disputes  procedures  and  is  therefore  subject  to  sanctions  under  the  federation's 
constitution. 

In  addition  to  the  Laborers,  the  following  unions  are  currently  in  non- 
compliance with  an  impartial  umpire's  decision:   the  Air  Line  Pilots  Association, 
National  Maritime  Union,  International  Typographical  Union  and  International 
Printing  Pressmen.

Pay  Board,  CISC  Announce  New 
Policies  on  Construction  Wages 


■The  Pay  Board  and  the  Construc- 
tion Industry  Stabilization  Committee 
have  jointly  announced  the  adoption 
of  pohcies  under  which  the  Committee 
will  carry  out  its  wage  stabilization 
responsibilities. 

The  tripartite  construction  commit- 
tee, established  by  President  Nixon 
nearly  a  year  before  his  establishment 
of  overall  wage-price  controls,  will  ad- 
minister Pay  Board  regulations  "to  the 
extent  applicable  with  respect  to  col- 
lective bargaining  agreements  in  the 
construction  industry." 

Asked  to  define  what  this  means. 
Board  sources  said  the  Committee  will 
seek  to  apply  the  pay  panel's  guideline 
limiting  new  wage  increases  to  5.5 
percent    a    year.     However,     it     also 


pointed  out  that  the  Committee  is  "not 
fixed"  to  the  guidelines  and  retains 
almost  complete  autonomy  in  admin- 
istering collective  bargaining  settle- 
ments in  the  building  industry. 

The  policies  also  provide  for  the 
establishment  of  liaison  groups  repre- 
senting the  Board  and  the  Committee 
to  consult  with  each  other  regularly 
and  coordinate  activities  and  proce- 
dures as  far  as  possible. 

The  Committee  will  refer  to  the 
Pay  Board  any  request  for  legal  action 
by  the  Justice  Department  needed  to 
enforce  compliance  with  its  standards 
and  orders.  Significant  reports  and 
public  information  releases  of  the 
Committee  shall  be  subject  to  review 
by  the  Board.  (PAI)     ■

THE    CARPENTER 


Editor  Turns  Songwriter 

One  of  the  many  talents  of  The  Carpenters  editor, 
Peter  Terzick,  is  songwriting.  Some  of  his  hymns  appear 
in  Lutheran  hymnals.  His  ballads  and  parodies  were  sung 
during  his  college  days  in  the  Pacific  Northwest.  Since 
his  retirement  as  General  Treasurer  of  the  Brotherhood, 
last  year,  he  has  returned  to  this  avocation  in  his  spare 
time.  Three  of  his  songs,  shown  here,  were  sung  by  labor 
balladeer  Joe  Glazer,  above,  at  the  recent  convention  of 
the  International  Labor  Press  Assn.  Brother  Terzick  is  a 
former  president  of  the  ILPA.

ALMOND,  THE  RUG  MAKER 

Almond  A.  Hager  of  Keene,  N.H.,  a  past  vice  president 
of  Local  48.  Fitchburg,  Mass.,  designs  and  makes  hooked  rugs 
about  as  well  as  he  can  handle  tools  of  the  carpentry  craft. 
He  stands  beside  one  of  his  creations;  a  4'  x  4%'  rug 
bearing  the  Brotherhood  emblem. 

He  wrote  to  the  late  First  General  Vice  President  Finlay 
Allan    and    obtained    permission    to    adapt    the    Brotherhood 
emblem  to  a  rug,  and   with   information   supplied  by  General 
Representative  Richard  Griffin,  he  produced  a  small  supply 
of  stamped  burlap,  by  which  the  rug  shown  in  the  picture 
can  be  duplicated.  (He  tells  us  he  can  supply  stamped  burlap 
to  a  limited  mmiber  of  members  and /or  their  wives,  if 
they'll  write  to  him  at   126  Armory  St.,  Keene,  N.H.,  03431. 

Hager   has   been    a   member   of   the    Brotherhood    since 
1952,  a  representative  of  the  Northern   Massachusetts  District 
Council  for  six  years,  a  trustee  for  health  and  welfare  for 
eight  years,  and  a  delegate  to  many   Brotherhood   and 
AFL-CIO  state  functions.  Hooking  rugs  is  only  one  of  several 
Hager  hobbies.

THE    CARPENTER 


Bruce  Lhiska  of  Local  1433.  Detroit,  used  to  do  a  lot  of 
fishing  in  Michigan's  Upper  Peninsula,  where  he  was  born. 
He  fished  with  plugs  and  he  fished  with  feathered  jigs,  and  he 
began  to  wonder  if  he  could  catch  more  fish  by  combining  the 
plugs  and  the  jigs. 

He  began  to  experiment.  He  tried  plugs  and  spoons  with 
feathers  in  various  combinations.  Too  many  feathers  and  the 
lure   action   would   boe   down;    not   enoush    feathers    and    the 


LURE  OF  THE  FISHERMAN 


fish  didn't  seem  to  be  interested.  Models  were  carved  out  of 
cedar  and  pine,  hand  painted,  feathers  attached,  until  he 
finally  hit  upon  the  right  combination  .  .  .  which  he  has  pat- 
ented as  his  "Dolfinn." 

He's  now  marketing  the  Dolfinn  in  many  color  combinations 
for  various  types  of  fish.  Priced  at  $2  each,  they  can  be 
obtained  by  writing  Liuska  Lures,  650  E.  Troy,  Frendale, 
Michigan  48220. 


ANTIQUE  CAR  COLLECTOR 


njohn  Greenland,  of  Boston,  Mass.,  carries  around  pic- 
'    tures  of  his  antique  cars,  as  some  members  carry 
4        I    around  pictures  of  their  families.  He's  proud  of  his  1 1 
»         ■   cars,  ranging  in   age  from    1909   to    1941,   and  justly  so, 
I         ,   for  he's  known  far  and  wide  for  his  special  interest. 

If  you  saw  the  movie  about  the  Sacco  and  Vanzetti 
^g[^         ,.«'  ;   Case,  making  the  rounds  of  the  movie  houses  recently, 

^^^k       f  fc^^^    the  getaway  car  in  that  film  is  a  1923  Dodge  Brothers 
^^^|k     \  ^Hk   touring  car  belonging  to  John  Greenland..  He  won  a 

national  award  for  his  hobby  at  the  Henry  Ford  Museum 
at  Greenfield  Village  in  Dearborn,  Michigan.    His  cars  have  been  exhibited 
at  museums,  and  he  has  won  a  total  of  37  trophies. 

He  purchased  his  first  vintage  motor  car  in  1957 — the  1929  Ford  town 
car  shown  in  the  accompanying  photographs.  It  was  in  deplorable  condition, 
and  John  spent  1  Vz  years  restoring  it. 

He  estimates  he  has  approximately  $50,000  worth  of  vintage  motors  now. 
Or.  that  is,  he  did  until  a  fire  last  month  burned  his  storage  garage  and 
every  car  and  trophy  in  it.  The  story  of  the  catastrophy  was  reported  by  the 
wire  services.  Arson  is  suspected. 

The  fire  almost  caused  Greenland  to  throw  in.  his  polishing  cloths  in  despair. 
There  was  no  insurance  to  cover  the  damage,  and  Greenland  figures  he 
has  a  decade  of  work  ahead  of  him  just  restoring  the  cars  to  what  they  were. 

But  a  host  of  friends,  including  young  auto  buffs  in  the  neighborhood 
and  fellow  members  of  the  Brotherhood,  have  offered  to  help.  Greenland  is 
director  of  the  apprenticeship  and  training  committee  of  the  Boston  Carpenters 
Apprenticeship  and  Training  Fund,   and  a  group  of  apprentices  helped 
him  clean  up  after  the  fire. 

Greenland  joined  Local  40  of  Boston  as  an  apprentice  in  1953  and  received 
his  journeyman's  certificate  in   1957.  He  has  been  active  in  union  affairs 
ever  since.  His  apprentices  are  frequent  contestants  in  the  International 
Carpenters  Apprenticeship  Contest.

Rotating  Laser  Beam  is  Latest  Tool  of  Detroit  Area  Members 


A  rotating  laser  beam  on  a  tripod  re- 
places the  traditional  water  level  and  dry 
line  to  help  assure  faster,  more  accurate 
construction  of  suspended  ceilings  at  the 
new  Brandon  District  High  School  in 
Ortonville.  Mich.  The  instriunent  enables 
workmen  to  construct  ceiling  layouts  sev- 
eral hundred  feet  long  that  are  accurate 
to  1/16  of  an  inch,  according  the  manu- 
facturer. The  beam  is  intercepted  by 
small  tags  called  "targets."  which  are 
placed  where  ceiling  grids  are  being  in- 
stalled. The  resulting  blip  of  light  on  the 
target  guides  workmen  in  constructing 
the  ceiling  layouts.  The  new  equipment, 
operated  by  Brotherhood  members, 
comes  from:  Laser  Alignment,  Inc., 
6331-28th  St.,  S.E.,  Grand  Rapids,  Mich. 
49506. 


ABOVE:  One  of  the  target  tags  for  the 
rotating  laser  beam  is  held  by  Richard 
Featherstone,  owner  of  Waterford  Con- 
struction Co.,  contractor  for  the  school 
installation.  Looking  on  are  Walter 
VVilberg,  Brandon  School  inspector,  and 
Joseph  Stout,  project  architect  of  O'Dell/ 
Hewlett  &  Luckenbach,  Birmingham, 
Mich.  Adjusting  the  laser  beam  at  rear  is 
Jerry  Hansen  of  the  Milbrand  Company 
of  Warren,   Mich.,  ceiling  contractors. 

The  laser  is  sometimes  attached  to  a 
fixed  column  and  operated  from  there. 

Members  of  the  United  Brotherhood 
of  Carpenters  and  Joiners  of  America  in 
the  Detroit  area  are  employed  in  the 
work.  Completion  of  the  $2.5  million 
high  school  is  scheduled  for  early  sum- 
mer, 1972. 


In  addition  to  being  used  on  a  tripod, 
as  shown  in  the  picture  at  lower  left, 
the  rotating  laser  beam  can  be  clamped 
to  an  inside  column,  carefully  aligned 
vertically,  and  placed  in  operation,  as 
shown  above.  The  Laser  Beacon  System 
has  been  used  for  ceiling  and  interior  sys- 
tems for  almost  two  years.

4-wheel-drive  Blazers  al  New  Harbor  Beach,  Massacitiisells. 


'72  Chevy  Blazer.  Because  the  good  places  start  where  the  good  roads  end. 


Blazer  just  happens  to  be  a 
very  tough,  very  roomy,  very 
wide-tracked  runabout. 

Just  happens  to  come  from 
a  family  of  trucks  that  are 
built  to  last.  Take  a  look  at 
the  chart  at  right.  It  shows 
that  over  55%  of  Chevy's  1956 
model  trucks  are  still  working. 


No  other  make  has  even  half. 

Blazer.  Your  best  bet  for 
the  good  places.  For  a  good 
long  time.

'Ask   A    Loco    Question   .   .   .' 

The  man,  breathing  hard,  walked 
back  to  the  station  after  falling  to 
catch  his  train.  "Did  you  miss  the 
train,   sir?"   asked   a   porter. 

"Of  course  not!"  snapped  the  dis- 
appointed commuter.  "I  simply  didn't 
like  Its  looks,  so  I  chased  It  out  of 
the  station!" 

ATTEND  YOUR  UNION  MEETINGS 

And  Nun  Too  Soon.' 

Three  nuns  were  given  $100  each 
to  do  with  as  they  pleased.  The  first 
nun  put  hers  in  the  poor  box.  The 
second  gave  hers  to  a  charity.  The 
third,  preferring  to  give  hers  on  a 
personal  basis,  went  out  on  the  street 
until  she  found  a  dejected,  forlorn 
figure  of  a  man.  She  pushed  the  $100 
bill    into    his    hands    and    hurried    off. 


Puzzled,  the  man  shouted  after  her: 
"What's  this  all   about?" 

"It's  God's  will!"  shouted  back  the 
nun,  closing  the  convent  door. 

The  next  day  the  door  opened,  the 
man  rushed  in  and  started  dumping 
$10  and  $20  bills  on  a  table  before 
the  startled  nun.  "What  in  the  world 
does  this  mean?"  she  cried. 

"God's  Will!"  he  shouted.  "Hie 
came  In  first  in  the  fifth  at  100  to 
one!  This  is  your  share!" — D.  A. 
McDougall,  L.U.  1296,  San  Diego, 
Calif. 

UNIONISM  STARTS  WITH  "U" 

Two  Hot  Prospects 

Grandma  was  explaining  her  early- 
days  problems.  "I  had  two  problems 
...  Pa  and  the  fire.  Every  time  I 
turned  to  look  at  one,  the  other 
would   go   out!" 

BE  UNION— BUY  LABEL 

Protective   Coloration 

The  errant  husband  staggered  in 
through  the  kitchen  door  and  pro- 
ceeded to  tie  up  all  the  pots  and 
pans  to  a  handy  clothesline.  Then  he 
stumbled  up  the  stairs,  muttering 
happily  to  himself:  "She'll  never  hear 
me   comin'    in   over   all   thish    racket!" 

UNION  MEN  WORK  SAFELY 

She's   A   Real   Card! 

The  mother  was  shocked  and  wor- 
ried over  what  her  8-year-old  daugh- 
ter had  told  her,  so  she  decided  to 
explore  the  matter  farther.  "You  say 
you  proved  to  this  little  boy  that  you 
were  a  girl?    hlow  did  you  do  that?" 

"Easy,"  replied  the  child.  "I  showed 
him    my    Brownie    membership   card!" 

UNITED  WE  STAND 


This   Month's   Limerick 

I  once  went  with  a  girl  whose  frigidity 
Approached   absolute  cataleptic 
rigidity. 

'Til  you  gave  her  a  drink, 
Whereupon  she  would  sink 
Into  a  state  of  complaisant  liquidity. 


He   Was  Dead   Wrong! 

The  weary  traveling  man  was  told 
by  the  desk  clerk  that  there  wasn't 
another  room  in  the  hotel.  "But  I 
can  give  you  a  cot  in  the  ballroom," 
he  said.  "There's  a  lady  already  in 
there  on  the  far  corner.  But  If  you 
go  in  quietly  and  don't  turn  on  a 
light,    I'm  sure  she  won't  mind.  " 

The  traveling  man  agreed  and  left, 
only  to  come  running  out  a  few  min- 
utes later  to  blurt:  "That  woman  In 
there;  she's  dead!" 

"Yes,  I  know,"  wearily  replied  the 
clerk.  "But  how  did  you  find  out?" 

BE  AN  ACTIVE  UNIONIST 

The   Bare   Truth 

The  model  called  up  the  artist  and 
said  she  wasn't  going  to  report  for 
work  that  day.  "I  don't  feel  In  the 
nude  for  work,"  she  said.  (This  Is  why 
she  barely  made  a  living.) 

FOR  BETTER  LAWS  GIVE  TO  CLIC 


No   Kickback 

The  preacher  called  the  Board  of 
Health  to  ask  that  a  dead  mule  be 
removed  from  In  front  of  his  parson- 
age. The  young  clerk,  wanting  to  be 
funny,  said;  "I  thought  you  ministers 
took  care  of  the  dead!" 

"We  do,"  nlftled  back  the  parson, 
"but  first  we  like  to  contact  their 
relatives' 

ALWAYS  BOOST  YOUR  UNION 

Strongly   Held  View 

The  average  number  of  times  a 
modern  girl  says  "No!  "  is  once  weak- 

ly. 

IN  UNION  THERE  IS  STRENGTH! 

The   Spice   of   Life! 

If  more  than  one  mouse  is  mice  and 
more  than  one  louse  is  lice,  then  it 
must     follow     that     more     than     one

ANADIAN 
'  T     REPORT 


Trudeau  Faces  Two 
Political  Factors 

Prime  Minister  Trudeau  is  clearing 
the  decks  for  a  federal  election,  prob- 
ably in  June  or  October  this  year. 

In  political  terms,  there  are  two 
factors  he  has  to  take  into  account. 
One  is  the  contributions  of  big  busi- 
ness to  the  Liberal  campaign  funds. 
The  other  is  the  sharp  drop  in  his 
popularity  since  he  was  elected  by  a 
big  majority  in  1  968. 

Big  business  money  went  Liberal 
in  1 968  at  least  in  the  proportion  of 
60%  to  them  and  40%  to  the  other 
big  business  party,  the  Conservatives. 

For  many  months  the  business  in- 
terests have  openly  and  privately  ex- 
pressed their  dissatisfaction  with  leg- 
islation which  the  government  has 
introduced,  mainly  the  tax  reform 
which  became  effective  January  1  st; 
second,  the  competition  act  which  did 
not  pass  the  last  session:  third,  the 
changes  in  labor  legislation  which 
were  mentioned  in  the  last  two  issues 
of  the  CARPENTER. 

The  effectiveness  of  the  business 
protest  became  apparent  when  the 
prime  minister  removed  the  three  cabi- 
net ministers  responsible  for  the  three 
contentious  measures  and  shifted  them 
to  other  posts. 

As  the  CARPENTER  said  last 
month,  "the  price  of  big  business  cos- 
tributions  to  the  Liberal  Party  might 
be  Mackasey's  scalp." 

Last  month  Labor  Minister  Bryce 
Mackasey,  considered  by  many  trade 
unionists  as  Canada's  best  labor  min- 
ister ever,  was  shifted  out  of  this  port- 
folio into  Manpower  and  Immigra- 
tion. It  was  not  a  demotion,  but  it 
saved  him  from  having  his  labor  bill, 
on  which  he  had  set  his  heart,  drasti- 
cally altered  or  killed  while  he  was 
still  labor  minister. 

The  new  labor  minister  is  Martin 
O'Connell  who,  on  his  appointment, 
wasted  no  time  in  telling  the  press 
that  the  proposed  labor  legislation  will 


be  amended.  The  protection  of  work- 
ers against  technological  change  will 
be  lessened,  even  though  the  original 
bill  did  not  go  as  far  as  organized 
labor  thought  it  should. 

What  makes  the  government's  re- 
treat on  the  Bill.  C-253.  so  galling  to 
the  labor  movement  is  that  they  have 
been  waiting  seven  years  for  promised 
legislative  changes,  but  now.  gratified 
with  a  small  breakthrough,  they  find 
the  rug  pulled  out  from  under. 

It  was  seven  years  ago,  in  1965, 
that  Justice  Samuel  Freedman  wrote 
a  historic  report  which  proposed  that 
employers  be  compelled  to  negotiate 
the  introduction  of  technological 
change   with    the   unions   affected. 

The  amendment  O'Connell  pro- 
poses will  leave  technological  change 
to  collective  bargaining.  But  what  if  a 
company  refuses  to  bargain,  or  backs 
a  union  into  a  corner  where  it  has  to 
strike  for  a  new  contract  clause  on 
the  issue  even  if  the  wage  packet  is 
o.k'd?  The  pressures  to  settle  without 
strike,  with  little  or  no  protection  on 
technological  change  issues,  will  be 
heavy. 

That  is  why  unions,  and  even  the 
working  force  not  in  unions,  need  leg- 
islative protection.  That  is  why  the 
switch  in  the  labor  ministry  looks  like 
a  sell-out. 

As  for  relieving  Finance  Minister 
Benson  of  his  portfolio,  Benson  was 
glad  to  get  out.  He  has  had  a  hard 
ride  from  the  business  community, 
and  in  labor's  view,  was  so  tied  up 
with  mistaken  economic  policies  and 
incomes  policy,  that  his  going  brought 
no  tears. 

Shifting  Ron  Basford  out  of  Con- 
sumer and  Corporate  Affairs  was  the 
third  sop  to  big  business.  They  con- 
sidered him  pro-consumer  and  fought 
bitterly  against  his  competition  bill 
which  would  have  given  the  consumer 
and  taxpayer  some  protection  against 
companies  ganging  up  against  them 
for  their  own  private  gain. 

That's  part  one  of  the  pre-election 
scenario. 


Part  two  about  Trudeau's  unpopu- 
larity is  another  matter.  He  was  so 
popular  in  1968  that  the  term  "Tru- 
deaumania"  was  coined  to  describe 
that  particular  kind  of  hero  worship. 
Now  four  years  later  he  has,  according 
to  the  polls,  the  confidence  of  less  than 
409fof  the  voters. 

His  advisers  tell  him  he  needs  at 
least  44%  to  win  the  next  election.  So 
the  PR  battle  to  build  up  Trudeau's 
image  again  has  begun.  And  the  un- 
ions are  countering  by  building  up 
their  support  for  the  New  Democratic 
Party  led  by  David  Lewis.  Without 
any  control  over  the  mass  media,  this 
is  the  usual  formidable  task. 

Carpenter  Wage 
Boost  in  Manitoba 

Manitoba  is  leading  all  Canada  in 
providing  a  floor  under  wages  in  the 
construction  industry.  In  fact  the  floor 
in  this  province  is  as  high  as  the  ceil- 
ing in  others. 

Labor  Minister  Russell  Pauley  an- 
nounced last  month  that  construction 
industry  workers  in  Greater  Winnipeg 
will  receive  an  increased  minimum 
wage  effective  March  1st. 

Journeymen  carpenters  receive  a 
wage  boost  from  $5  an  hour  to  $5.50. 
Sheet  metal  workers  also  get  this  raise. 

This  is  about  the  average  in  the  new 
rate  regulations,  some  getting  more, 
some  less,  among  the  various  building 
trades. 

All  hours  worked  in  excess  of  stand- 
ard weekly  hours  must  be  paid  at  not 
less  than  time  and  a  half. 


Still  Need  For 
Public  Housing 


Now  that  final  1971  reports  show 
that  housing  starts  made  a  new  record 
with  over  230,000,  the  homebuilding 
industry  is  now  talking  about  250,000 
or  more  this  year. 

This  objective  should  be  possible. 
The  mortgage  money  is  available,  and 
interests  have  eased.  The  homes  are 
needed. 

But  the  problem  of  rising  costs  is 
still  worrisome,  with  the  majority  of 
wage  and  salary  earners  priced  out  of 
the  conventional  market. 

This  makes  it  all  the  more  impor- 
tant that  public  housing  starts  be 
increased  substantially.  Yet  in  1970. 
less  than  10%  of  housing  starts  were 
for  public  housing  with  rents-geared- 
to-income. 

This  small  proportion  of  public 
housing  in  the  total  number  built  has 


22 


THE    CARPENTER 


been  the  case  since  1946  when  federal 
housing  legislation  was  first  adopted. 

In  25  years,  low  income  housing 
with  federal  funds  loaned  to  limited 
dividend  and  non-profit  corporations 
and  for  public  housing  and  student 
housing,  represented  only  267,568 
units,  or  just  4.4%  of  the  total  housing 
stock  in  Canada  to  the  end  of  1970. 

This  figure  includes  housing  under 
federal-provincial  agreements.  Only 
Ontario  in  the  last  five  years  or  so  has 
taken  advantage  of  the  availability  of 
federal  housing  funds  to  any  great  ex- 
tent. But  other  provinces  like  Quebec 
and  Manitoba  are  now  gearing  for 
higher  public  housing  production,  to 
make  good  homes  available  to  work- 
ing people  and  to  provide  jobs. 

Minimum  Wages 
Up  in  Nova  Scotia 

The  province  of  Nova  Scotia  has 
boosted  its  minimum  wage  sharply. 

This  may  sound  courageous  in  an 
area  with  very  high  unemployment. 
Employers  usually  say  that  higher  min- 
imums  will  force  them  out  of  business 
and  create  more  unemployment. 

This  argument  has  been  proved 
false  in  other  provinces.  Saskatchewan 
increased  its  minimum  last  year,  also 
against  protests,  with  little  or  no  dis- 
location of  workers. 

At  least  two  good  arguments  favor 
the  higher  minimum  wage.  The  first 
is  that  it  helps  keep  your  working  force 
in  the  province  instead  of  moving 
away  to  areas  where  wages  are  higher. 
The  second  is  that  higher  wages  im- 
prove purchasing  power  where  it  is 
most  needed  and  where  all  of  it  is 
spent  on  essentials. 

The  Nova  Scotia  minimum  goes  to 
$1.55  for  both  men  and  women  on 
July  1st.  Persons  under  18  and  in- 
experienced workers  in  their  first  three 
months  of  employment  are  exempted. 

The  minimum  goes  up  to  $1.65  an 
hour  on  July  1,  1973.  For  those  under 
18  and  the  inexperienced,  it  will  be 
$1.40. 

The  male  minimum  is  now  $1.35, 
female  minimum  $1.20;  under  18 
minimum  for  males  $1.15,  for  females 
$1.00. 

Jobless  Rate 
Remains  at  6% 

Canada  has  had  an  unemployment 
rate  of  6%  or  more  for  more  than  20 
months,  but  some  areas  have  been  hit 
harder  than  others.

CANADIAN    REPORT 

Continued  from  page  23 

Latest  figures  show  that  British  Co- 
lumbia has  6.9%  jobless  (64.000):  the 
Prairie  provinces  just  4.3%  (64,000); 
Ontario  4.9%.  (147.000);  Quebec  7.9% 
(186,000):  the  Atlantic  provinces 
10.5%   (69,000). 

Some  government  officials  are  be- 
ginning to  say  that  Canada  will  never 
again  see  full  employment  conditions. 
Many  agree  that  the  6%  rate  will 
continue  into  1973  at  least.  But  few 
accept  the  argument  that  high  un- 
employment in  a  technological  age 
must  always  be  with  us. 

A  lot  of  these  lost  jobs  are  in  con- 
struction. In  the  Metro  Toronto  area 
where  the  building  trades  council  has 
been  taking  a  tally,  27%  of  organized 
construction  workers  were  jobless  last 
month. 

Argument  Concerns 
'Essential  Industry' 

Last  month's  strike  of  air  traffic  con- 
trollers, which  shut  down  all  air  serv- 
ices in  Canada  for  about  1 0  days, 
brought  out  the  usual  cries  of  "down 
with  strikes  in  essential  industries." 

The  argument  must  center  around 
"what  is  an  essential  industry?"  and  is 
compulsory  arbitration  a  satisfactory 
alternative  to  strikes? 

David  Archer.  President,  Ontario 
Federation  of  Labor,  commented  that 
some  of  the  best  brains  on  the  North 
American  continent  have  delved  into 
the  question  of  "essential  industries", 
but  few  have  concluded  that  compul- 
sory arbitration  provides  a  satisfactory 
alternative  to  deadlocked  negotiations. 

"After  all,"  said  Archer,  "if  once 
you  agree  that  police  and  firefighters 
and  hospital  workers  are  essential  (and 
most  of  society  does)  and  then  add  air 
traffic  controllers  and  hydro  employees 
and  gas  workers  and  milk  drivers,  and 
so  on,  what  would  you  have  left  of 
free  collective  bargaining?" 

Many  Tax  Inequities 
For  Small  Businesses 

Tax  inequities  in  business  are  also 
gross. 

In  the  last  10  years  small  business 
paid  taxes  on  90  percent  of  their  prof- 
its; wholesalers  paid  taxes  on  87  per- 
cent of  their  profits;  the  construction 
industry  on  67  percent,  manufacturers 
on  65  percent,  mining  companies  on 
13  percent  and  oil  ancl  gas  companies 
on  5.7  percent.

B    A  Touch  of  Color 

Recent  tests  at  Brown  University  by 
scientists  proved  that  fish  respond  to 
certain  colors,  a  conclusion  which  anglers 
made  a  long  time  ago  and  have  stocked 
their  tackle  boxes  accordingly. 

Some  fishermen  paint  their  own  lures, 
and  Harlan  DaflFron.  a  charter  member 
of  St.  Helens.  Oregon  Carpenters  Local 
2066  adds  a  deft  stroke  of  red  paint  to 
the  wings  of  his  green  spinglo  lure. 

"This  could  be  one  of  the  reasons  why 
Daffron  is  such  a  successful  salmon 
fishermen."  writes  Gar  Larsen.  business 
representative,  "he  has  an  impressive 
record,  and  I'm  enclosing  a  photograph 
of  him  with  his  eighth  salmon  for  1971, 
a  Chinook  which  tipped  the  scales  at  35 
pounds  and  was  caught  in  the  lower 
Columbia  River  which  forms  a  natural 
boundary  here  between  Oregon  and 
Washington."

■   Albino  Pheasant 

From  time  to  time,  we've  talked  about 
the  downing  of  albino  game — four  legged 
and  winged.  Here's  an  account  of  the 
latest  report  from  Kennewick.  Washing- 
ton. A.  J.  Kimmel  is  depicted  here  with 
two  normal-hued  ringnecks  and  an  albino 
specimen  in  the  middle. 

B    Wrens  Like  Red 

Getting  back  to  the  subject  of  color 


preference,  here's  the  result  of  a  study 
conducted  by  Dr.  Robert  A.  McCabe  of 
Wisconsin  University,  an  II -year  test  in- 
volving wrens  which  were  given  a  choice 
of  utilizing  red.  yellow,  blue,  white  and 
green  nest  boxes.  Ninety-eight  nests 
were  constructed  in  the  boxes  by  the 
wrens: 

Red    41  times 

Green    31  limes 

Blue     16  times 

Yellow     8  times 

White     2  times 

I    Wrong-Way  Mallard 

A  banded,  pen-raised  Illinois  mallard 
duck  from  the  Nilo  Farms  Shooting  pre- 
serve at  Alton,  flew  the  coop  and  con- 
tinued on  its  merry  way  across  the  coun- 
try to  the  West  Coast.  It  saw  a  lot  of 
territory  before  it  was  downed  over  a 
river  marsh  by  Oregon  hunter  Bob 
Queirolo. 

I    Half-Hour  Sail  Tussle 

One  of  the  few  fish  in  the  ocean  that 
is  almost  as  tall  as  it  is  long  is  the  sail- 
fish,  that  is  if  you'll  rate  it  from  the  tip 
of  its  magnificent  dorsal  fin  to  the  bottom 
of  its  belly.  Fred  Ernest  of  Cambridge. 
Massachusetts,  a  longtime  member  of 
Local  33.  Boston,  cherished,  for  many 
years,  a  desire  to  add  one  to  his  variety 
of  catches  and  knew  he'd  have  to  travel 
to  realize  that  ambition.  So  he  tripped 
far  south,  to  the  salty  Pacific  deep  out  of 
Acapulco,  ten  miles  off  Mexico's  south- 


west coast,  and  there  hit  the  finny  jack- 
pot. He's  pictured  here  with  his  prize,  a 
131-lb.  "sail"  which  took  over  a  half 
hour  to  land  after  he  set  the  hook. 


H    Scrappy  Florida  Snook 

If  you  want  to  know  of  a  good  fishing 
spot  in  Florida,  ask  Harry  Mangerich  of 
Chicago,  Illinois,  a  member  of  Local  275 
for  close  to  a  half  century.  On  a  recent 
southern  junket  to  Florida  waters,  he 
nailed  a  half  dozen  of  scrappy  snook 
from  the  saltchuck.  He's  shown  here 
with  a  stringer  holding  five  of  'em  which 
measured  over  18  inches  from  nose  to 
tail.  The  one  under  18  inches  was.  in 
accordance  with  the  fishery  regulations, 
returned  for  sizing.  Oh  yes.  they  were  all 
caught  on  light  spin  gear  off  the  old 
bridge  at  Punta  Gordo  on  the  west  coast.

■  Hot  Time  With  Salmon 

The  recent  pop  tune.  "When  You're 
Hot,  You're  Hot:  When  You're  Not, 
You're  Not."  might  well  serve  as  a  theme 
song  for  the  salmon  fishermen  of  the 
West  Coast.  I've  had  my  share  of  good 
days  ofl"  the  Oregon.  Washington,  and 
B.  C.  coasts  in  pursuit  of  Coho  and 
Chinook,  but  after  receiving  a  letter  and 
photograph  from  Mrs.  Donna  Coultas, 
wife  of  Gary  Coultas.  a  member  of  Local 
1752.  Pomona.  Calif..  I'm  bound  and 
determined  to  have  a  "go"  at  briny  waters 
off  the  coast  of  Northern  California, 
specifically  out  of  Crescent  City. 

On  a  recent  junket  there,  the  Coultas 
family,  accompanied  by  Gary's  dad, 
amassed  a  total  of  30  salmon  for  five 
excitement-packed  days.  Here's  a  photo- 
graph of  the  senior  Coultas  with  the 
largest  salmon  taken  on  the  trip — a  40 
pounder! 

■  Hunting-Fishing  Day 

Many  sportsman  groups  and  conserva- 
tion organizations,  at  local,  state  and  na- 
tional levels  are  urging  Congress  to 
establish  a  national  hunting  and  fishing 
day  as  called  for  in  S.  J.  Resolution  1 17 
by  Senator  Thomas  J.  Mclntyre  (N.H.). 
Mclntyre's  resolution  is  supported  by 
many  of  his  colleagues  and  it  is  this 
writers'  hope  of  seeing  it  pass  both 
houses.

THE    CARPENTER 


I  find  that,  to  date,  18  governors  have 
signed  proclamations  designating  Septem- 
ber 25  as  a  state  hunting  and  fishing  day. 

■    28-Point  Deer! 


Allbritton  and  28-point  deer. 


Brace  yourself,  you  hunt-fan  members 
of  the  Brotherhood,  we're  in  receipt  of  a 
report  of  a  buck  being  dovi'ned  in  Arkan- 
sas having  the  greatest  number  of  points 
on  its  antlers  than  any  yet  recorded  in 
these  columns.  That  is  my  conclusion 
after  word  from  J.  W.  West,  recording 
secretary  of  Local  2032  at  Bastrop, 
Louisiana.  West  reported  that  Brother 
H.  P.  (Britt)  Allbritton  of  that  local 
bagged  a  buck  deer  in  Drew  County 
which  dressed  out  at  230  pounds;  sported 
28  points  on  its  rack,  and  sent  in  the  fol- 
lowing photograph  to  back  up  his  claim. 

H   Muskies  Taken 

Muskie  anglers  will  admit  that  the 
object  of  their  finny  affections  is  the  most 
contrary  fish  flesh  in  the  world.  It's  not 
unusual  for  the  most  seasoned  veteran 
to  log  days,  weeks,  even  a  month  with- 
out as  much  as  a  strike.  In  view  of  this, 
it  seems  especially  noteworthy  to  pass  on 
information  submitted  by  Josep'n^  W. 
Kowalski,  financial  secretary  of  Local 
146,  Schenectady.  He  says  that  fellow 
local  member,  Roger  Sission  of  Wamer- 
ville,  caught  his  first  muskie  this  past 
September,  an  18  pounder  on  the  troll  in 
the  Thousand  Islands  area,  then  cam.e 
back  a  month  later  and  nailed  a  40'/4 
pounder  which  took  the  lead  in  local 
Muskie  tournament.  Here's  a  look  at 
newspaper  clipping  of  Sission  and  his 
brother  Origen,  who  was  with  him  when 
he  made  the  catch  near  Clayton  on  Octo- 
ber  16,    1971.

■  Leaders  of  the  Brotherhood's  Job

problems  that  might  exist,  their  solu- 
tions, and  ways  and  means  to  have  a 
more   successful   program   in   the   future. 

New  training  projects  were  discussed 
and  the  importance  they  play  in  the  over- 
all training  of  a  corpsman  when  he  has 
actual  on-the-job  training  to  acquire  the 
skills  needed  to  meet  the  demands  of  the 
industry.  (These  projects  are  those  that 
are  not  let  out  on  regular  contracts). 
John  Blake,  director  of  Job  Corps,  dis- 
cussed the  important  role  the  Job  Corps 
plays  in  the  training  of  America's  dis-

THE    CARPENTER 


DIAL   INDICATOR   HOLDER 


A  new  dial  indicator  holder  has  re- 
cently become  available  to  tradesmen  in 
the  United  States  and  Canada.  Drilled 
and  tapped  on  top  and  on  both  sides  to 
receive  posts  from  Lufkin  or  Starrett 
dial  indicator  kits,  the  device  has  been 
used  for  aligning  turbine  couplings  and 
smaller  type  couplings  which  were  re- 
quired to  function  as  one  unit.  It  is  not 
a  magnetic  holder.  However,  due  to  the 
trunnion  barrel  and  the  pivotal  arm,  it 
will  adapt  itself  to  any  size  shaft  without 
bending  the  tightening  bolt. 

Made  of  6051  steel  and  heat  treated 
to  withstand  pressure,  this  new  dial  indi- 
cator allows  the  workman  to  rotate  shafts 
in  order  to  check  side  alignment  at 
quarter-turns  or  half-turns,  or  to  face 
the  alignment  of  shafts.  The  device  is 
available,  with  full  money-back  guarantee 
if  the  customer  is  dissatisfied,  from  the 
Dial  Indicator  Co.,  12771  Hemmingway 
St.,  Detroit,   Michigan  48239. 

SAFETY  INSOLE 

A  new  safety  insole  intended  to  pro- 
tect the  foot  against  puncture  wounds  is 
being  marketed  by  Bar-Way  Manufac- 
turing Company. 

Known  as  Lamisoles,  they  can  be 
slipped  into  ordinary  work  shoes  or  into 
boots,  such  as  worn  by  firemen. 

Protection  is  provided  by  a  single  piece 
of  spring-tempered  stainless  steel  which 
extends  from  heel  to  toe.  Laminated  to 
the  top  of  the  stainless  sheet  is  a  latex 


foam  cushion  which  Bar-Way  claims 
makes  shoes  with  the  Lamisole  insole 
more  comfortable  than  shoes  without  the 
insole. 


Using  stainless  materials  insures  against 
rust  which  is  an  extra  hazard  in  puncture 
wounds. 

Lamisoles  are  available  in  work  shoe 
sizes  from  6  to  15  and  in  boot  sizes  from

QUIK   BRACE   LOCK 


Deal  Products,  Easton,  Pa.,  a  manu- 
facturer of  tubular  steel  scaffolding,  has 
announced  a  technical  advance  in  con- 
struction of  its  Quik  Brace  Lock  feature. 

The  notched  section  of  the  Quik  Brace 
Lock  slides  easily  over  a  fixed  stud  to 
provide  quick,  positive  seating  of  the 
bracing. 

The  new  unit  offers  modifications  to 
retainer  clip  and  Quik  Lock  Slide  as- 
sembly. The  new  retainer  clip  is  made 
of  tempered  steel  and  is  now  fastened  to 
the  upper  stud  by  means  of  a  retainer 
coupling.  The  relocation  of  the  retainer 
clip  and  the  use  of  a  harder  material 
assures    trouble-free    performance.

Labor's 

Assessment 

Was 

Correct 


■  At  its  mid-winter  meeting  in  Miami  Beach,  last  month, 
the  AFL-CIO  took  a  long  hard  look  at  the  economic  stagnation 
which  had  been  driving  unemployment  figures  upward  and  cre- 
ating an  ever-increasing  deficit  in  foreign  trade.  For  the  past 
two  years  the  Nixon  Administration  has  been  delivering  a  great 
deal  of  optimistic  rhetoric  but  very  little  in  the  way  of  action 
capable  of  moving  the  country  oflf  dead  center.  Oddly  enough, 
the  labor  movement  has  been  providing  the  administration  with 
a  program  essential  to  getting  the  job  done.  As  far  back  as  196Q 
labor  has  held  national  conferences  aimed  at  focusing  national 
attention  on  the  sad  plight  of  our  foreign  trade  situation.  It  was 
very  obvious  to  the  labor  movement  that  far  back  that  the  flight 
of  American  capital  and  American  technology  to  foreign  coun- 
tries was  heading  America  toward  a  real  economic  crisis.  When 
a  multi-national  corporation  licenses  a  product  abroad  and  when 
it  exports  American  technology  and  capital  to  back  up  that 
licensing,  the  inevitable  effect  is  a  decline  in  American  jobs. 

The  sad  fact  is  that  the  flight  of  American  capital  and  tech- 
nology to  Asia  and  South  America  continues  to  escalate.  Under 
prevailing  conditions  there  is  little  hope  for  change  until  such 
time  as  the  tax  loopholes  whereby  multi-national  corporations 
avoid  paying  regular  annual  taxes  on  their  foreign  profits  is 
closed.  General  Electric  has  factories  or  leasing  arrangements 
in  more  than  50  nations.  The  company  makes  a  profit  whether 
the  product  is  made  in  Taiwan,  Japan.  Brazil  or  America.  How- 
ever, American  workers  have  jobs  only  if  the  products  are  made 
in  the  U.S.  or  Canada. 

Consequently  the  real  scapegoat  in  the  situation  is  the  Amer- 
ican worker.  He  must  pay  for  the  schools  which  develop  the 
advanced  technology,  which,  when  exported,  robs  him  of  his  job. 

All  this  the  labor  movement  has  pointed  out  continuously  for 
the  past  three  or  four  years.  The  fact  that  our  foreign  trade  is 
showing  a  persistent  deficit  for  the  first  time  in  75  years  is 
clearcut  proof  that  organized  labor  was  not  merely  whistling 
Dixie. 

The  Miami  AFL-CIO  Executive  Council  Meeting  also  em- 
phasized that  the  current  program  of  freezing  wages  but  not 
profits  can  only  lead  to  more  woe  for  working  people.  As  an  an- 
swer for  most  of  the  problems,  the  Council  determined  that  the 
labor  movement  needs  to  intensify  its  political  efl'ectiveness. 
Since  its  very  inception  the  motto  of  the  America  labor  move- 
ment has  been:  let's  elect  our  friends  and  reject  our  enemies. 
That  motto  looms  larger  in  the  current  economic  and  political 
situation  than  ever  before. 

For  anyone  who  has  been  keeping  in  touch  with  economic 
and  political  developments  for  the  past  four  or  five  years,  it's 
obvious  that  the  labor  movement  has  been  dead  on  target  with 
its  recommended  programs.  However,  very  few  politicians  have 
been  listening  and  the  time  has  come  when  those  who  have 
failed  to  pay  any  heed  must  be  called  to  task  next  November.    ■

SYMBOLS  OF  OMIITY 


THE  LEOPARD'S  HEAD 

A  statute  of  1300  AD,  provided  that, 
no  gold  or  silver  could  be  sold  in  Eng- 
land until  it  was  tested  by  "the  Gar- 
diens  of  the  Craft"  and  struck  with  the 
Leopard's  Head — -a  hallmark  indicat- 
ing that  the  metal  conformed  to  legal 
standards. 


BETTER  GOAT'S  MILK 

Nearly  2,000  years  ago  a  goat's  milk 
merchant  in  ancient  Pompeii  used  this 
sign  bearing  a  drawing  of  a  goat  to 
identify  his  dairy. 


STONE  MARKER 

Stonemasons  during  the  Middle  Ages 
created  graphic  devices  which,  like 
a  signature,  were  used  to  identify  their 
work. 


AN  ARTIST'S  NOTATION 

Although  his  works  bore  the  unmis- 
takeable  imprint  of  his  unsurpassed 
skill  and  feeling,  Michelangelo  also 
used  this  symbol  to  identify  his  art.

THE  COVER 

April  13  marks  the  229th  anniver- 
sary of  the  birth  of  Thomas  Jefferson, 
third  President  of  the  United  States, 
author  of  the  Declaration  of  Inde- 
pendence, and  man  of  multiple  skills 
and  virtues. 

Many  tributes  have  been  paid  to 
this  great  man  and  many  memorials 
erected.  One  of  the  finest  is  the 
Thomas  Jefferson  Memorial,  which 
gleams  in  white  Vermont  marble  on 
our  April  cover. 

The  Thomas  Jefferson  Memorial 
stands  on  the  south  shore  of  the  Tidal 
Basin  in  West  Potomac  Park,  Wash- 
ington, D.C.  It  is  a  circular  stone 
structure  which  combines  the  archi- 
tectural elements  of  the  dome  of  the 
Pantheon  in  Rome  and  the  rotunda 
designed  by  Jefferson  for  the  Univer- 
sity in  Virginia. 

The  central  circular  chamber,  86.3 
feet  in  diameter,  is  dominated  by  a 
full-length  figure  of  Jefferson  which  is 
19  feet  tall. 

The  Memorial  was  dedicated  by 
President  Franklin  D.  Roosevelt  on 
April   13,   1943. 

PLEASE  NOTE:  Readers  who  wish 
a  copy  of  the  cover,  unniarred  by  a 
mailing  label,  and  suitable  for  framing 
or  display,  may  obtain  one  by  writing 
tlie  magazine,  using  tlie  Brotherliood 
address  sliown  at  lower  left.  The  me- 
chanical requirements  of  our  printer 
and  tlie  needs  of  our  back-cover  adver- 
tiser force  us  to  place  the  label  in  the 
lower  left  corner  of  the  cover. 


A  proud  forester  surveys  a  clear-cut  patch  where 
Douglas  lir  was  harvested  10  years  before  as  part  of  an 
all-purpose,  multiple-use  forest  management  plan. 
The  clearing  now  provides  food  for  wildlife  as  well  as 
sunlight  for  regeneration  of  new  trees. 


Fast-growing  suburbia  keeps  pace  with  the  nation's 
housing  needs  only  because  the  lumber  industry  is 
allowed  to  show  discretion  in  timber  management.  Vital 
timber  for  housing,  otherwise  inaccessible  in  wilderness 
areas,  will  be  lost  if  super  conservationists  take  control. 


Jobs  Threatened. . . . 

CONFLICT  IN  OUR 
NATIONAL  FORESTS 

Resource  Use?  Or  Wilderness  Preservation? 


■  The  187  million  acres  of  the 
National  Forests  managed  by  the 
Forest  Service  of  the  U.S.  Depart- 
ment of  Agriculture  contain  some  of 
America's  most  important  resources. 
By  law  their  bounty  must  provide  a 
host  of  benefits  to  the  American  peo- 
ple— timber  for  housing,  recreation, 
wildlife  welfare,  hunting  and  fishing, 
grazing,  mining,  and  water. 

In  addition  to  these  values.  Na- 
tional Forests  provide  jobs. 

These  jobs  and  the  economic  well- 
being  of  hundreds  of  thousands  of 
workers  in  communities  throughout 
the  United  States  are  threatened 
more  each  day  in  the  controversy 
over  how  much  area  of  the  National 
Forests  should  be  managed  as  Wil- 
derness Areas  and  how  much  should 
be  managed  for  timber  and  other 
multiple-use  values. 

There  need  be  no  controversy  if 
the  needs  of  the  American  people 
are  properly  weighed  and  the  facts 
of  use  versus  non-use  are  understood 
by  everyone. 

Union  leaders,  professional  forest- 


ers, home  builders,  recreationists, 
the  forest  products  industry,  and 
state  and  county  officials  are  mighti- 
ly concerned  about  the  trend  toward 
a  massive  lockup  of  commercial 
forest  lands  in  the  National  Forest 
System.  It  is  on  those  lands  where 
the  present  thrust  for  Wilderness 
Preservation  is  concentrated. 

Genuine  concern  is  justified.  With- 
drawal for  Wilderness  Preservation, 
stated  simply,  means  a  nationwide 
loss  of  jobs  because  National  Forest 
timber  for  mills  will  be  in  short  sup- 
ply, as  will  finished  wood  products 
for  housing  and  general  construc- 
tion. 

The  effects  of  a  substantial  reduc- 
tion in  the  supply  of  timber  from 
the  National  Forests  are  widespread: 

•  It  means  shutdowns  or  slow- 
downs for  lumber,  plywood,  pulp 
and  other  wood  product  mills. 

•  It  means  loss  of  jobs  or  income 
for  our  members  in  both  woods  and 
mills,  as  well  as  for  carpenters  and 


other  construction  trades  because 
lumber  and  plywood  for  housing  will 
be  in  short  supply. 

•  It  means  higher  prices  for  hous- 
ing, in  what  promises  to  be  another 
record  year  for  housing,  and  disrup- 
tion of  the  national  program  to  build 
26  million  new  and  rehabilitated 
housing  units  during  the  1970\s. 

•  It  means  economic  depression 
in  forest  products  manufacturing 
areas,  as  well  as  loss  of  revenue  for 
schools  in  National  Forest  depend- 
ent counties  which  share  in  the  re- 
ceipts from  Federal  timber  sales. 

•  It  means  a  negative  environ- 
mental impact  in  the  woods  them- 
selves since  major  portions  of  the 
National  Forests  and  other  public 
lands  would  be  denied  management 
and  protection  essential  to  prevent 
wildfire,  insect  and  disease  epidem- 
ics, improve  wildlife  habitat,  and 
enhanced  water  values. 

•  It  means  that  about  tme  percent 
of  the  American  people  will  have 


THE    CARPENTER 


been  successful  in  establishing  an 
almost  exclusive  system  of  play- 
grounds for  an  elitist  minority — 
those  with  the  means,  stamina  and 
inclination  to  sample  the  wilderness 
— at  the  expense  of  recreational  op- 
portunities all  Americans  can  enjoy. 

As  defined  by  statute  in  the  Wil- 
derness Act  of  1964,  "A  Wilderness, 
in  contrast  with  those  areas  where 
man  and  his  own  works  dominate 
the  landscape,  is  hereby  recognized 
as  an  area  where  the  earth  and  its 
community  of  life  are  untrammeled 
by  man,  where  man  himself  is  a  visi- 
tor who  does  not  remain." 

The  1964  Act  immediately  placed 
some  9.1  million  acres  of  National 
Forest  lands  in  the  National  Wil- 
derness System.  Additionally,  some 
5.5  million  acres  of  Primitive  Areas 
in  the  National  Forests  were  set 
aside  for  study  for  addition  to  the 
Wilderness  System  at  some  future 
date  and  are  managed  by  the  Forest 
Service  as  if  they  already  are  Wil- 
derness Areas. 

Hearings  Held 

Currently  the  Forest  Service  is 
holding  field  hearings  in  the  West  on 
the  suitability  of  some  35  million 
acres  of  National  Forest  roadless 
areas  for  inclusion  in  the  Wilderness 
System. 

The  consequences  of  these  possi- 
ble additions  are  staggering  and  al- 
ready being  felt  by  reduced  National 
Forest  timber  sale  ofi'erings. 

The  National  Wilderness  System 
now  contains  over  9.9  million  acres 
of  National  Forests.  Adding  to  this 
the  4.5  million  acres  of  Primitive 
Areas  now  treated  as  wilderness,  a 
total  of  14.4  million  acres  of  Nation- 
al Forest  lands  (more  than  20,000 
square  miles)  have  been  withdrawn 
from  multiple-use  management  for 
those  people  who  want  what  they 
call  "the  wilderness  experience." 
The  land  area  involved  in  wilder- 
ness withdrawal  is  already  greater 
than  the  area  of  the  states  of  New 
Hampshire,  Massachusetts,  Con- 
necticut and  Rhode  Island  put  to- 
gether. 

In  addition  to  Wilderness  and 
Primitive  Areas,  where  timber 
management  and  harvesting  are  out- 
lawed, the  Forest  Service  has  classi- 
fied 90  million  of  the  187-million- 
acre    National    Forest    System    as 


"noncommercial"  and  has  classified 
over  27  million  acres  of  "commer- 
cial" forest  land  primarily  as  recrea- 
tion or  scenic  zones.  This  leaves  less 
than  70  million  acres  available  for 
high  production  timber  management 
and  harvesting  within  environmental 
and  other  multiple-use  constraints. 
About  one-third  of  this  area  is  still 
not  managed  for  high  timber  produc- 
tivity when  the  citizens  of  this  na- 
tion are  demanding  more  wood  for 
homes  than  at  any  other  time  in  the 
nation's  history. 


Government  officials  have  fore- 
cast that  unless  timber  growing  pro- 
grams are  intensified  on  the  com- 
mercial timber  areas  of  the  National 
Forests,  a  gap  of  11  billion  board 
feet  will  exist  between  timber  sup- 
ply and  demand  by  the  year  1974. 
But  the  gap  is  already  evident. 

The  use  versus  non-use  controver- 
sy, plus  the  environmental  awaken- 
ing of  the  public,  has  added  10  to 
15  percent  per  year  to  the  cost  of 
National  Forest  management. 

Forest  Service  Chief  Edward  P. 
Cliff  recently  told  a  Senate  commit- 
tee that  the  "conflicting  demands 
and  viewpoints  .  .  .  make  the  life  of 
a  Federal  forest  administrator  akin 
to  that  of  a  tightrope  walker  con- 
tinuously balancing  on   the   wire." 

The  Forest  Service  has  withdrawn 
over  two  billion  board  feet  of  timber 
from  scheduled  sales  because  of 
preservation  and  other  pressures, 
law  suits  and  real  or  imagined  en- 
vironmental problems.  Scientifically 
proved  forest  management  practices, 
recognized  as  essential  to  regenerate 
future  timber  crops,  are  under  attack 
by  the  preservationists.  Legislation 
has  been  introduced  in  the  Congress 


to  halt  all  clearcut  timber  harvesting 
on  public  forest  lands  for  a  two-year 
period  while  yet  another  study  is 
conducted. 

The  issue  for  the  working  man  to 
understand  is  how  these  controver- 
sies and  pressures  affect  him  and  his 
family.  They  do  in  both  direct  and 
subtle  ways. 

The  closest-to-home  effect  for 
woods  and  millworkers  and  carpen- 
ters is  the  threat  to  employment. 
Facts  tell  the  story. 

The  forest  products  industry  is  de- 
pendent for  two-thirds  of  its  wood 
supply  from  sources  other  than  its 
own  lands.  One-third  of  the  total 
supply  comes  from  Federal  lands, 
principally  the  National  Forests. 

But  these  facts  alone  do  not  tell 
the  whole  story.  In  the  West,  the 
situation  is  much  more  critical. 
Western  National  Forests  contain  61 
percent  of  the  timber  inventory  in 
the  region  and  42  percent  of  the  soft- 
wood sawtimber  harvest  comes  from 
these  lands. 

Many  Jobs  At  Stake 

Hundreds  of  mills  are  wholly  de- 
pendent upon  National  Forest  tim- 
ber for  their  raw  material;  hundreds, 
too,  are  partially  dependent  upon 
National  Forest  timber  to  keep  their 
mills  open.  And  the  communities 
and  counties  in  which  the  bulk  of 
these  mills  are  located  also  are  de- 
pendent in  full  or  in  part  upon  the 
forest-based  industries  for  their  eco- 
nomic viability. 

The  National  Forest  System  con- 
tains 53%  of  the  nation's  inventory 
of  standing  softwood  sawtimber. 
This  fact  alone  has  been  cited  by 
committees  of  the  Congress  and  in 
recommendations  of  a  Presidential 
Task  Force  as  the  basis  for  recom- 
mendations that  timber  management 
be  intensified  on  National  Forest 
areas  designated  for  commercial 
timber  production.  But  the  forest 
land  base  is  being  eroded.  The  great- 
est threat  is  from  those  who  call 
themselves  conservationists  while  ad- 
vocating preservation. 

The  Sierra  Club  and  other  groups 
are  encouraging  local  citizens  to 
work  for  wholesale  additions  to  the 
Wilderness  System.  From  its  wilder- 
ness policy  statement  it  can  be  de- 
duced that  the  Sierra  Club  is  work- 


APRIL,    1972 


ing  for  the  ultimate  withdrawal  of 
approximately  122  million  acres  for 
Wilderness  Preservation.  The  Club 
is  on  record  in  its  wilderness  policy 
as  advocating  that  "at  least  twice 
the  area  now  devoted  to  urban  uses 
such  as  buildings,  roads,  parking 
lots,  railroads  and  airports"  con- 
stitute an  adequate  wilderness  reser- 
vation. Government  reports  reveal 
that  13  percent  of  the  land  area — or 
61  million  acres — is  in  urban  or 
built-up  use.  Twice  this  figure  would 
put  wilderness  preservation  at  122 
million  acres. 

To  attain  the  housing  production 
called  for  by  Congress  in  the  Hous- 
ing Act  of  1968 — for  26  million  new 
or  rehabilitated  units  of  housing  by 
1978 — will  require  intensified  silvi- 
cultural  management  on  the  nation's 
public  as  well  as  private  non-indus- 
trial forest  lands. 

Brotherhood  Position 

The  United  Brotherhood  is  force- 
fully on  record  as  to  its  position  on 
housing  needs  and  National  Forest 
timber  management.  Peter  E.  Ter- 
zick,  now  retired  general  treasurer, 
told  a  Senate  committee  last  June 
that  the  nation's  housing  goals  are 
"not  vague  dreams  snatched  from 
clouds."  He  said: 

"They  represent  need — economic 
and  social.  They  represent  consumer 
demand.  The  consumer  wants  new 


and  improved  housing.  He  will  have 
the  money  to  pay  for  it.  It  must  be 
available  to  him.  And  this  can  be 
done  only  through  assurance  of  a 
continuous  flow  of  construction  ma- 
terials— wood,  the  spinal  column  of 
a  house,  in  particular." 

Even  if  jobs  weren't  threatened, 
the  nation  should  ask  itself.  "What 
does  Wilderness  provide  in  the  way 
of  recreational  opportunities?" 

It  provides  hikers  and  backpack- 
ers with  more  than  ample  room  to 
sample  nature  in  the  raw.  It  means 
no  roads,  no  restaurants,  no  motels 
or  campgrounds,  no  sanitation  ac- 
commodations. 

A  Forest  Service  survey  that  the 
typical  wilderness  visitor  is  a  college 
graduate,  usually  has  an  advanced 
degree,  is  in  the  upper-income 
brackets,  and  camps  out  for  a  week 
or  more  pursuing  a  hobby  that  often 
is  related  to  his  professional  work. 

Families  who  in  their  entire  life- 
time never  see  a  wilderness  could 
benefit  more  from  the  expenditure 
of  government  funds  for  develop- 
ment of  outdoor  recreation  areas  in 
cities  and  their  environs.  Even  for 
people  who  can  afford  trips  to 
Wilderness  Areas,  their  inaccessibil- 
ity creates  problems. 

The  very  concept  of  Wilderness  is 
restrictive,  says  Los  Angeles  attor- 
ney and  conservationist  Eric  Julber. 
"What  an  irony  that  in  Europe — the 


"I  can't  believe  they  ate  the  whole  thing!" 


old  world,  the  land  of  aristocracy — 
the  common  working  people  can  see 
the  wonders  of  Our  Creator,  while 
in  America,  land  of  democracy  the 
common  people  are  excluded." 

Julber  points  to  the  Swiss  philoso- 
phy as  being  diametrically  opposed 
to  our  purist  philosophy.  "The  purist 
says:  Keep  people  out.  The  Swiss 
ethic  says:  Invite  them  in,  the  more 
the  better." 

He  terms  wilderness  preservation 
a  "purist-conservationist"  philoso- 
phy since  the  acreage  consigned  to 
wilderness  results  in  a  600  to  1  dis- 
parity between  what  is  provided  to 
the  elite  and  what  is  provided  to 
middle-  and  low-income  Americans. 
He  says  the  practical  elTect  of  Wil- 
derness Preservation  is  to  make  the 
most  beautiful  areas  of  America  "off 
limits"  to  anyone  who  is  not  willing 
or  able  to  backpack  or  hike  into 
them. 

In  September  1971.  Julber  told  a 
Senate  committee  that  actual  Forest 
Service  figures  for  recreation  use  of 
Wilderness  and  Primitive  Areas  of 
the  National  Forests  reveal  "use  by 
less  than  one  million  persons  .  .  . 
less  than  one-half  of  one  percent  of 
our   population." 

Groups  Organizing 

Since  the  National  Forests  belong 
to  all  U.S.  citizens — not  just  an 
elitist  minority — working  men  and 
women  are  making  their  voices 
heard  in  the  debate — with  their  Sen- 
ators and  Congressmen,  at  regional 
and  local  Forest  Service  hearings  on 
additional  Wilderness  set  asides,  and 
with  their  elected  state  and  local  of- 
ficials. 

The  wives  of  woods  and  millwork- 
ers  are  organizing  too.  In  Montana 
workers'  wives  have  established  an 
organization  known  as  WOOD — ■ 
Women  Opposed  To  Official  De- 
pression. They  are  attending  hear- 
ings and  are  getting  on  record  as  to 
the  economic  consequences  that  will 
result  for  their  families  from  wil- 
derness set-asides. 

Working  men  and  women  can 
recognize  that  conservation  means 
the  "wise  use  of  the  earth  and  its  re- 
sources," not  the  preservation  of  the 
earth  and  its  resources  which  will 
provide  no  benefits  for  the  greatest 
good  or  for  the  greatest  number  of 
people.  ■

So  Long  as  It  Remains  an 
Autonomous  Tripartite  Panel 


■  After  eight  months  of  persistent 
eifort  to  make  the  Wage  Board  a  truly 
tripartite  and  viable  instrument  for 
fighting  inflation,  George  Meany, 
AFL-CIO  President,  and  three  other 
labor  members  of  the  Board  handed  in 
their  resignations  on  March  22. 

The  fact  that  wholesale  prices  in- 
creased at  an  annual  rate  of  8.4  per- 
cent during  February  while  wages  re- 
mained frozen  undoubtedly  helped  to 
precipitate  the  decision  of  the  four  out 
of  five  labor  members  on  the  Board  to 
sever  their  connections  with  the  Board 

In  announcing  his  resignation,  Pres- 
ident Meany  pointed  out  that  the  Pay 
Board  is  actually  under  the  domination 
of  the  Nixon  administration.  Tripartite 
in  theory  only,  the  Board  has  been 
dominated  by  business  interests.  It  has 
maintained  a  rigidity  in  wage  matters 
that  has  been  totally  incompatible  with 
the  failure  of  the  Price  Board  to  hold 
down  prices. 

While  prices  have  been  going  up 
steadily  and  profits  have  been  climbing 
rapidly,  workers'  wages  have  been  held 
down  within  a  rigid  formula. 

This  unhappy  situation  is  the  direct 
outgrowth  of  the  fact  that  the  ma- 
chinery for  controlling  prices  has  been 
very  ineffective,  whereas  the  wages  of 
workers  falling  within  the  purview  of 
the  Wage  Board  have  been  rigidly 
controlled. 

The  labor  members  of  the  Pay 
Board  found  this  to  be  an  untenable 
position.  Hence,  they  took  the  only 
avenue  that  was  logically  open  to  them 
— resignation  from  the  Board. 

In  contrast  to  the  miserable  failure 
of  the  Pay  Board,  the  Construction  In- 
dustry Stabilization  Committee,  the 
agency  which  deals  with  wage  matters 
in  the  construction  industry,  has  suc- 
ceeded in  achieving  flexible  and  far 
more  equitable  procedures  for  stabiliz- 
ing wages  in  construction. 


Following  the  resignation  of  the 
four  labor  members  of  the  Pay  Board, 
the  Executive  Committee  of  the  Build- 
ing and  Construction  Trades  Depart- 
ment carefully  considered  all  the  im- 
plications involved  for  building  trades 
unions,  as  well  as  all  the  alternatives 
available. 

It  was  determined  that  so  long  as  the 
Construction  Industry  Stabilization 
Committee  remains  a  truly  tripartite 
body,  and  so  long  as  it  remains  an 
autonomous  organization,  the  labor 
members  of  the  Committee  should  con- 
tinue to  serve. 

The  following  resolution  adopted  by 
the  Building  Trades  Department  spells 
out  the  position  which  will  remain  in 
effect  so  long  as  the  Committee  main- 
tains its  independence: 

WHEREAS,  it  has  been  the  con- 
sistent objective  of  the  American  labor 
movement,  including  the  Building  and 
Construction  Trades  Department,  to 
support  the  objective  of  stabilizing  the 
economy  since  the  detrimental  con- 
sequences of  inflation  are  felt  most 
severely  by  the  working  population  in 
contrast  to  the  gains  derived  from  in- 
flation by  the  owners  of  land  and  other 
property  whose  capital  values  grow  in 
proportion  to  the  excesses  of  the  in- 
flationary spiral;  and 

WHEREAS,  the  Building  and  Con- 
struction Trades  Department  together 
with  the  other  importpnt  parts  of  the 
labor  movement  are  determined  that 
any  program  for  stabilizing  the  econ- 
omy should  in  the  language  of  the 
Economic  Stabilization  Act  Amend- 
ments of  1971  "be  generally  fair  and 
equitable"  and  "call  for  generally  com- 
parable sacrifices  by  business  and  labor 
as  well  as  other  segments  of  the  econ- 
omy"; and 

WHEREAS,  the  American  labor 
movement  specified  as  an  indispensable 
requirement  of  its  participation  in  the 


wage  stabilization  program  that  the 
administrative  machinery  for  conduct- 
ing such  program  should  be  truly  tri- 
partite with  representatives  from  labor, 
management  and  the  pubhc;  and 

WHEREAS,  this  request  was  ac- 
cepted by  the  President  of  the  United 
States;  and 

WHEREAS,  the  Building  and  Con- 
struction Trades  Department  is  in 
complete  agreement  with  the  statement 
of  the  Executive  Council  of  the  AFL- 
CIO  dated  March  22,  1972,  which 
proves  indisputably  that  "The  (Pay) 
Board  is  not  tripartite.  It  is  not  inde- 
pendent and  autonomous.  The  Pay 
Board  represents  Government  control. 
It  represents  political  and  business  in- 
terests"; and 

WHEREAS,  the  Building  and  Con- 
struction Trades  Department  fully  sup- 
ports the  position  of  the  AFL-CIO 
Executive  Council  that  the  labor  mem- 
bers of  the  Pay  Board  will  not  be  "a 
part  of  the  window  dressing  for  this 
system  of  unfair  and  inequitable  Gov- 
ernment control  of  wages,  for  the 
benefit  of  business  profits";  and 

WHEREAS,  the  Construction  In- 
dustry Staisilization  Committee  includ- 
ing its  system  of  craft  dispute  boards 
made  up  of  representatives  of  man- 
agement and  labor  was  established  by 
Executive  Order  No.  11588  in  March 
1971  prior  to  the  establishment  of  the 
Pay  Board  which  was  established  Oc- 
tober 15,  1971;  and 

WHEREAS,  the  Executive  Order 
establishing  the  Construction  Industry 
Stabilization  Committee  stated  among 
other  things  that  "stabilization  of  wages 
and  prices  is  most  effectively  achieved 
when  accompanied  by  positive  action 
of  labor  and  management"  and  "this

ROUNDUP 


NIXON  PROMISE— Largely  overlooked  in  the  press  has  been  a  very  special  effort 
President  Nixon  has  made  to  reduce  the  unemployment  problem.   During  his  election 
campaign,  Nixon  promised  to  reduce  the  size  of  Lyndon  Johnson's  White  House 
staff.   He's  more  than  doubled  it.   In  fact,  one  office  alone,  Dr.  Henry 
Kissinger's  National  Security  Council,  has  more  employees,  85,  than  President 
Franklin  Roosevelt's  entire  White  House  advisory  staff  during  World  War  II.   And 
the  new  WTnite  House  Domestic  Council  has  73  employees  whose  average  salary 
is  $17,000. 

STRIKES  AT  LOW  LEVEL— The  number  of  workers  engaged  in  work  stoppages  is  currently 
at  the  lowest  level  in  more  than  three  years.   J.  Curtis  Counts,  director  of 
the  Federal  Mediation  and  Conciliation  Service,  reported  that  as  of  the  end  of 
February,  Federal  mediators  were  involved  in  161  strike  situations  involving 
30,463  idled  workers.   The  lowest  previous  figure  was  the  120  disputes  in- 
volving 27,079  workers  as  of  December  27,  1968.   The  Agency's  highest  recent 
work  stoppage  total  involved  407  disputes  with  499,723  workers  during  the  week 
of  July  21,  1971. 

INFORM  JOBLESS  ON  BENEFITS-AFL-CIG  President  George  Meany  has  urged  Secretary  of 
Labor  James  D.  Hodgson  to  require  state  unemployment  compensation  agencies  to 
inform  jobless  workers  of  the  extended  unemployment  compensation  benefits  enacted 
by  Congress  late  last  year. 

"Failure  by  the  states  to  inform  unemployed  workers  about  the  extended 
benefit  program  is  depriving  thousands  of  jobless  workers  of  extended  unemployment 
compensation  benefits  Congress  meant  them  to  have,"  Meany  wrote  Hodgson. 

DEVALUATION  of  the  dollar  through  an  increase  in  the  price  of  gold  is  acceptable 
so  far  as  it  goes,  but  much  more  is  needed  if  the  American  economy  is  to  be 
strengthened,  the  AFL-CIO  has  told  Congress. 

Comjnenting  on  legislation  that  would  raise  the  price  of  gold  to  S38  an  ounce, 
AFL-CIO  Legislative  Director  Andrew  J.  Biemiller  told  the  House  Banking  Commit- 
tee that  "devaluation  of  the  U.S.  dollar  in  itself  cannot  solve  America's 
problems. " 

Biemiller  pointed  out  that  foreign  countries  will  be  able  to  counter  this 
U.S.  move  through  manipulating  their  own  currencies  and  warned  that  international 
speculation  involving  the  export  of  billions  of  dollars  in  American  jobs,  tech- 
nology, capital  and  industrial  capacity  abroad  is  accelerating. 

2,500,000  JOBS— If  the  Nixon  Administration  really  wants  to  cut  down  on  unemployment 
significantly,  it  will  have  to  provide  between  2,500,000  and  3,000,000  jobs 
during  the  next  twelve  months,  in  the  opinion  of  the  AFL-CIO. 

And  there  are  no  indications  that  its  economic  policies  will  produce 
anywhere  near  that  number  of  jobs.   Meanwhile,  business  profits  go  up.   Corporate 
after-taxes  profits  in  the  second  half  of  1971  were  18  percent  greater  than  in 
the  same  period  of  1970. 

CORPORATION  TIES— Labor  has  charged  that  President  Nixon's  Phase  II  program  is 
shaped  to  favor  corporations  over  workers  and  consumers — and  revelations  about 
the  people  running  it  continue  to  show  a  tilt  in  that  direction. 

Leo  Perils,  director  of  AFL-CIO  Community  Services,  told  a  luncheon  meeting 
of  the  AFL-CIO  Maritime  Trades  Department  that  all  of  the  present  Price  Commission 
members  have  strong  ties  to  corporate  managements. 

Meanwhile,  an  examination  of  the  Pay  Board  shows  that  four  of  its  ten  top 
staff  people  are  from  business.   Three  are  from  government,  one  from  education, 
one  is  a  lawyer  and  one  is  a  former  Air  Force  officer.   There  are  no  key  people 
on  the  staff  with  union  backgrounds. 

OIL  IMPORTS-The  AFL-CIO  urged  passage  of  legislation  that  would  require  half  of 
all  petroleum  imported  to  the  United  States  to  be  transported  aboard 
U.S. -flag  ships.

CLC  Submission  to  Government 
Received  Quietly,  with  Little  Comment 


The  annual  submission  of  tiie  Ca- 
nadian Labor  Congress  to  the  gov- 
ernment of  Canada,  March  6,  was  a 
good  measure  of  the  progressive,  yet 
considered  and  down-to-earth,  ap- 
proach of  the  trade  union  leadership 
to  the  major  economic,  social  and 
political  problems  of  the  day 

A  summary  of  the  20.000  word 
brief  was  read  by  CLC  President  Don- 
ald MacDonald  and  was  listened  to 
by  Prime  Minister  Trudeau  and  most 
of  his  cabinet  intently  if  not  with 
enjoyment. 

The  exercise  was  not  planned  to  be 
pleasurable.  The  Prime  Minister  was 
told  in  unmistakable  terms  that  the 
measures  which  the  government  has 
adopted  and  which  have  helped  cre- 
ate such  heavy  unemployment  are 
exactly  those  which  the  CLC  warned 
the  government  against  in  its  last  two 
submissions — in  1970  and  1971. 

Not  only  has  the  government  wor- 
ried unduly  about  price  stability  in- 
stead of  unemployment  but  it  has  been 
so  slow  in  realizing  the  error  of  its 
ways  that  it  is  very  unlikely  that  the 
situation  will  improve  this  year. 

"Many  Canadian  families."  said  the 
CLC,  "will  continue  to  suffer  because 
of  past  policies,  probably  the  most 
inept,  ill-advised  and  inhuman  policies 


ever  thrust  upon  any  nation  in  mod- 
ern times." 

This  was  strong  language,  but  the 
Prime  Minister  sat,  listening  without 
offering  one  word  of  explanation  or 
reply.  What  reply  could  he  make  when 
a  month  earlier  he  had  said  publicly 
that  jobs  were  available  for  anyone 
who  wanted  one,  but  his  own  Man- 
power Department's  figures  showed 
that  there  were  only  44.300  job  open- 
ings in  all  of  Canada  for  665,000 
jobless? 

That  was  the  opening  gun.  The  CLC 
brief  then  urged  the  government  to 
ignore  management  protests  against 
revisions  to  the  national  labor  legis- 
lation which  would  give  unions  some 
protection  for  their  members  in  con- 
nection with  technological  change.  The 
new  minister  of  labor  Martin  O'Con- 
nell  replied  after  MacDonald  was 
finished,  that  the  labor  act  changes 
were  almost  ready  for  submission  to 
parliament  with  a  preamble  which,  he 
thouiiht,  trade  unions  would  like.  Time 
will  fell. 

Another  piece  of  legislation  on 
which  the  CLC  urged  the  government 
not  to  yield  to  the  pressures  of  the 
corporations  was  Bill  C-256  which 
would  help  the  consumer  and  provide 
for  more  efficient  operation  of  the  Ca- 


nadian economy.  But  on  this  point 
the  appeal  probably  fell  of  deaf  ears. 
The  bill  as  originally  planned  is  as 
good  as  dead.  The  responsible  min- 
ister Ron  Basford  has  been  shifted  to 
another  portfolio. 

The  Congress  also  severely  criticized 
the  so-called  tax  reform  bill  which 
became  effective  January  1.  It  said 
the  bill  was  so  clumsy  and  complex 
that  it  will  be  a  bonanza  for  tax  law- 
yers "if  they  themselves  are  able  to 
decipher  it." 

The  total  tax  burden  still  falls  most 
heavily  on  working  people  and  the 
lower  income  groups  due  to  a  heavy, 
regressive  sales  tax  among  other 
things. 

The  CLC  again  voiced  support  for 
a  guaranteed  annual  income  plan  and 
urged  an  increase  in  the  basic  old  age 
pension  to  $100  a  month  from  $80 
with  the  age  of  eligibility  reduced  to 
60  from  6.5". 

All  in  all  it  was  a  very  well  thought- 
out  presentation  which  deserved  a  bet- 
ter response  from  the  government  than 
it  got. 

But  this  is  an  election  year.  The 
Prime  Minister  has  put  his  foot  in 
his  mouth  so  often  that  he  decided 
to  be  cautious  about  the  CLC  presenta- 
tion. After  allowing  a  few  of  his 
ministers  to  deal  with  some  particular 
points,  he  quickly  adjourned  the 
meeting. 

BC  Building  Trades 
In  CLRA  Negotiations 

The  building  trades  are  having  a 
tough  time  in  negotiations  with  man- 
agement in  British  Columbia. 

At  a  special  meeting  called  in  Van- 
couver the  same  day  as  the  CLC  sub- 
mission in  Ottawa,  representatives  of 
the  building  trades  unions  reported 
that  the  Construction  Labor  Relations 
Association  was  not  budging  an  inch 
from  its  adamant  position  in  this 
year's  negotiations. 

CLRA  threatened  to  use  industrial 
unions  to  defeat  the  building  trades, 
but  the  meeting  heard  from  the  B.C. 
Federation  of  Labor  that  this  was  just 
nonsense.  No  unions  were  going  to 
allow  themselves  to  be  used  against 
the  building  trades. 

In  Ontario  the  province's  construc- 
tion companies  ran  large  advertise- 
ments calling  for  compulsory  arbitra- 
tion in  building  trades  disputes.  But 
one  of  the  building  industry  publica- 
tions in  which  the  advertisement  ap- 
peared said  that  this  was  just  non- 
sense. Compulsory  arbitration  would 
do  nobody  any  good.

Growing  Economy 
Despite  Jobless 

A  report  released  by  Statistics  Can- 
ada last  month  show  that  it  is  possible 
to  have  a  growing  economy  on  the 
one  hand  and  heavy  unemployment 
on  tl:e  other. 

Few  would  have  guessed  it  but  eco- 
nomic growth  last  year  was  almost 
double  1970.  Yet  unemployment  in 
1971  was  worse  than  in  the  previous 
year — 6.4%  on  an  annual  average 
compared  with  5.9%. 

Economic  output  in  1971  had  an 
increase  of  4.5%  in  1971  against  only 
2.4%  in  1970. 

Still  this  increase  was  below  the 
average  for  the  10-year  period  from 
1961  to  1970.  In  this  period  eco- 
nomic growth  went  ahead  by  5.6% 
a  year. 

These  figures  measured  real  growth, 
not  inflated  by  price  increases. 

1971  Business  Profits 
Up  18.2%  During  1971 

If  the  economy  was  statistically 
healthy  last  year  but  there  were  still 
so  many  jobless,  then  who  benefitted? 

Statistics  Canada  has  produced  an- 
other set  of  figures  which  might  pro- 
vide a  clue. 

These  figures  show  a  sharp  rise  in 
profits  in  1971  over  1970,  by  18.2% 
to  almost  $4V2   billion. 

The  evidence  is,  therefore,  that  pro- 
ductivity and  prices  went  up  more  than 
labor  and  other  costs.  The  figures  ex- 
clude agriculture,  fishing,  trapping  and 
construction. 

It  should  be  taken  into  account, 
however,  that  profits  were  down  by 
9%  in  1970  over  1969.  Still  the  1971 
profit  increase  is  impressive.  For  ex- 
ample, the  last  three  months  of  the 
year  showed  a  profit  increase  of  37% 
on  a  total  revenue  gain  of  only  14%. 

Wori(  Stoppages 
Were  Low  Last  Year 

Time  lost  through  work  stoppages 
last  year  were  well  down  from  1969 
and  1970.  Only  17  man-days  were 
lost  for  every  10,000  worked  com- 
pared with  39  man-days  lost  in  the 
previous  year  and  46  man-days  lost 
in  '69. 

This  was  the  best  record  since  1961 
when  only  1 1  man-days  were  lost  for 
every  10,000  worked. 

This  low  rate  of  time  lost  through 
strikes  and  lockouts  proves  once  again 


that  in  an  average  year  most  nego- 
tiations are  settled  peacefully. 

This  was  clearly  shown  in  the  fig- 
ures released  by  the  Ontario  Depart- 
ment of  Labor  for  time  lost  through 
work  stoppages  last  year,  down  almost 
50%   from  1970. 

And  in  1971,  94%  of  all  negotia- 
tions were  settled  peacefully  This  was 
a  splendid  record. 

Manufacturing  accounted  for  75.3% 
of  time  lost  through  strikes  and  lock- 
outs in  1971  compared  with  91%  in 
1970.  On  the  other  hand,  construction 
accounted  for  15%  of  time  lost  last 
year  compared  with  only  5.5% 
in  1970. 

The  way  1972  started,  it  is  likely 
that  time  lost  through  work  stoppages 
will  be  higher.  Three  important  strikes 
took  place  before  the  year  was  two 
months  old  and  none  were  in  manu- 
facturing or  construction. 

All  three  were  in  public  service 
organizations.  The  air  traffic  control- 
lers and  the  electrical  technicians 
struck  against  Air  Canada.  The  broad- 
Cast  engineers  and  technicians  struck 
against  the  Canadian  Broadcasting 
Corporation. 

The  feeling  is  that  the  Treasury 
Board  was  determined  to  hold  down 
wages  in  the  public  sector  and  that 
the  negotiators  in  the  public  services 
were  too  tough  or  not  well-informed 
about  what  makes  for  successful  col- 
lective bargaining. 

Knowles  Seeks  Lower 
Retirement  Age 

Member  of  Parliament  Stanley 
Knowles,  who  has  represented  the 
Winnipeg  North  Centre  seat  since 
1972,  is  the  top  parliamentary  expert 
on  parliamentary  procedure.  But  he 
has  an  even  more  important  claim  to 
fame.  He  has  worked  all  these  years 
for  a  better  deal  for  senior  citizens 
and  no  session  of  parliament  has  gone 
by  without  his  putting  forward  some 
claim  for  more  help  for  old  age 
pensioners. 

Knowles,  who  still  holds  a  typo- 
graphical union  card  in  good  stand- 
ing, is  now  campaigning  for  changes 
in  the  Old  Age  Security  Act  and  the 
Canada  Pension  Act  to  allow  em- 
ployees to  voluntarily  retire  at  age  60 
with  an  adequate  pension.  This  would 
not  only  give  oldsters  a  chance  to  live 
in  dignity  but  open  up  jobs  for 
younger  people. 

The    motion    he    put    before    the 

House  of  Commons  would  reduce  the 

pensionable   age   from   65  to   60   and

Building  Trades  Explain  Decision 
To  Cancel  '72  Legislative  Conference 


The  Executive  Council  of  the  Build- 
ing and  Construction  Trades  Depart- 
ment, AFL-CIO,  decided  at  its  regular 
quarterly  meeting  in  Bal  Harbour. 
Florida,  February  7,  8.  and  9  that  the 
Department  would  not  issue  a  Call  for 
a  National  Legislative  Conference  this 
year. 

It  was  the  view  of  the  Executive 
Council  that  the  convening  of  a  Na- 
tional Legislative  Conference  is  not  a 
routine  matter  and  that  the  expense  of 
such  Conference  to  Local  Unions.  State 
and  Local  Building  and  Construction 
Trades  Councils.  International  Unions 
and  the  Department  is  justified  only  if 
there  is  a  reasonable  anticipation  that 
practical  results  could  be  accom- 
plished. 

The  Department  and  the  Executive 
Council  are  proud  of  the  record  of  the 
National  Legislative  Conference  in  pre- 
vious years  in  aiding  in  the  enactment 
of  laws  which  are  of  direct  benefit  to 
members  of  the  building  and  construc- 
tion trades  unions,  such  as: 

The     1959    Construction     Industry 

Amendments    to    the    Taft-Hartley 

Act 

The  Fringe  Benefit  Amendments  to 
the  Davis-Bacon  Act 

The  Contract  and  Work  Hours  Stan- 
dards Act 

The  Federal  Construction  and  Safe- 
ty Act 

A  careful  review  and  evaluation  by 
the  Executive  Council  of  the  pending 
bills  which  are  of  direct  interest  to 
building  and  construction  tradesmen 
show  that  very  small,  if  any.  practical 
results  could  be  reasonably  expected 
at  this  session  of  the  Congress. 

As  an  illustration  of  this  point,  it 
was  determined  that  the  Situs  Picket- 
ing Bill  could  be  moved  through  the 
preliminary  legislative  processes  on 
Capitol  Hill  but  no  final  favorable  ac- 
tion could  he  reasonably  expected  at 
this  time. 

It  was  therefore  decided  not  to  hold 
the  Legislative  Conference. 

The  Department,  of  course,  will  con- 
tinue to  keep  close  watch  on  the  legis- 
lative moves  on  the  Hill  and  will  alert 
affiliated  unions  and  Councils  to  ex- 
press their  views  by  letter  or  telegram 
when  such  action  appears  advisable. 

Conference  Statement 

After  the  Executive  Council  had 
reached  its  decision  on  the  1972  Leg- 
islative  Conference,    President   Frank 


Bonadio  and  the  Departmental  Vice 
Presidents  felt  that  earlier  notification 
could  be  given  those  who  had  planned 
to  attend  the  sessions  if  a  statement  on 
the  action  was  immediately  released, 
without  waiting  for  the  preparation  of 
a  formal  announcement. 

This  statement  was  handed  out  to 
the  press,  some  sections  of  which  pro- 
ceeded to  give  their  own  erroneous  no- 
tions of  the  "real"  reason  for  the  can- 
cellation. Thus,  some  newspapers 
carried  stories  which  had  no  basis  in 
fact. 

The  real  and  only  reasons  for  the  de- 
cision were  those  contained  in  the  for- 
mal notification  and  the  statement, 
which  read: 

BAL  HARBOUR,  FLA.  Feb.  7— 
The  Executive  Council  of  the  Building 
and  Construction  Trades  Department, 
AFL-CIO,  today  decided  that  the  De- 
partment would  not  conduct  a  Na- 
tional Legislative  Conference  this  year. 

Suspension  of  the  four-day  session, 
which  brings  to  Washington  nearly  4,- 
000  delegates  from  thoughout  the 
United  States  to  concentrate  on  mat- 
ters of  legislative  importance  to  the 
building  and  construtclion  trades,  is 
part  of  a  sweeping  reorganization  of 
the  three-million  member  Department 
that  was  authorized  at  the  56th  bien- 
nial Convention  last  November. 

"We  are  taking  entirely  new  ap- 
proaches to  a  nximber  of  situations," 
President  Frank  Bonadio  explained. 

"The  Department  has  conducted  a 
National  Legislative  Conference  15  or 
16  times  in  the  last  20  years.  We  have 
been  addressed  by  Presidents  of  the 
United  Slates,  the  top  leaders  and 
members  of  both  parties  of  the  United 
States  Senate  and  the  House  of  Repre- 
sentatives, cabinet  members,  the  Presi- 
dent of  the  AFL-CIO,  the  heads  of  the 
departments  and  offices  of  the  AFL- 
CIO  and  outstanding  representatives 
of  the  construction  industry. 

"These  conferences  have  been  gen- 
erally highly  successful. 

"But  the  Executive  Council  feels 
that  the  time  now  has  come  to  consider 
a  change  in  the  format,  just  as  we  are 
restructuring  a  number  of  other  ac- 
tivities to  meet  the  new  challenges  and 
opportunities  of  this  period.  It  there- 
fore seemed  practical  not  to  proceed 
with  the  Legislative  Conference  at  this 
particular  time." 

Bonadio  said  that  the  decision  not 
to  hold  a  National  Legislative  Confer- 
ence this  spring  was  unanimous.

Building  Trades,  Architects  Move  For  Closer  Ties 


■  To  establish  for  the  first  time  a 
close  working  relationship  between  the 
Building  and  Construction  Trades  De- 
partment. AFL-CIO  and  The  Ameri- 
can Institute  of  Architects  in  a  num- 
ber of  construction  industry  matters,  a 
series  of  meetings  between  top  repre- 
sentatives of  the  two  organizations  has 
been  inaugurated. 

Representing  the  Building  and  Con- 
struction Trades  Department  is  the 
Executive  Council,  composed  of  Gen- 
eral Presidents  of  ten  of  the  1 7  Na- 
tional and  International  Unions  affili- 
ated with  the  3-million  member  De- 
partment, and  the  President  and  Sec- 
retary-Treasurer of  the  Department. 

Representing  The  American  Insti- 
tute of  Architects,  composed  of  24,000 
individual  architects  throughout  the 
United  States,  is  its  Labor  Liaison  Task 
Force,  headed  by  George  M.  White, 
Architect  of  the  Capitol;  Francis 
Kelly.  A. LA.  Administrator  of  Govern- 
ment Affairs:  Hillard  T.  Smith.  Jr.  of 
Lake  Worth.  Florida:  James  A.  Scheel- 
er.  Deputy  Executive  Vice  President; 


William  L.  Slayton.  Honorable  A. LA. 
Executive  Vice  President  and  William 
M.  Linscott  of  Kansas  City,  Missouri. 

"The  group  is  prepared  to  discuss 
anything  submitted  by  either  side  which 
will  be  helpful  in  creating  a  friendly 
and  constructive  relationship  between 
the  Architects  and  our  affiliated  Gen- 
eral Presidents,"  explained  Robert  A. 
Georgine,  Secretary-Treasurer  of  the 
Building  and  Construction  Trades  De- 
partment. 

White  and  Georgine  both  said  that 
the  A. LA.  long  had  worked  closely 
with  owners,  contractors,  engineers, 
practically  everyone  concerned  with 
construction.  Now  it  is  their  joint 
wish  to  have  a  closer  relationship  with 
the  people  who  actually  do  the  build- 
ing. 


"We  are  off  and  running,"  they  said 
concerning  the  meetings. 

Items  for  possible  discussion  at  the 
continuing  scries  of  meetings  will  be: 

•  Industrialization  of  the  building 
process — the  roles  of  architecture  and 
labor, 

•  A  joint  scholarship  program  for 
apprentices  or  journeymen  who  wish 
to  become  architects, 

•  Urban  housing — -craftsmanship 
required  in  the  midst  of  production 
needs, 

•  Unification  of  the  construction 
industry, 

•  A  center  for  the  joint  study  of 
building  codes  and  regulations, 

•  The  construction  seasonality 
problem, 

•  Manpower  shortages  and  appren- 
ticeship programs, 

•  Jurisdictional  disputes, 

•  Safety,  and 

•  Construction  financing  problems, 
including  the  cost  of  money.   ■

THE    CARPENTER 


William  Konyha  Is  Named 
Second  General  Vice  President 


■  William  Konyha,  General  Ex- 
ecutive Board  Member  from  the  3rd 
District,  has  been  named  new  Sec- 
ond General  Vice  President  of  the 
Brotherhood. 

His  appointment  was  announced 
April  1  by  General  President  Wil- 
liam Sidell,  after  the  General  Execu- 
tive Board  confirmed  his  nomination. 

Brother  Konyha  fills  a  vacancy  in 
the  top  leadership  of  the  Brother- 
hood which  was  created  March  1 
with  the  elevation  of  William  Sidell 
to  the  General  Presidency  and  the 
subsequent  elevation  of  Herbert  C. 
Skinner  to  the  First  General  Vice 
Presidency,  following  the  retirement 
of  M.  A.  Hutcheson. 

Bill  Konyha  has  been  active  in 
Brotherhood  affairs  for  more  than 
three  decades.  He  began  learning  the 
craft  at  the  early  age  of  1 4,  working 
beside  his  father,  a  home  builder,  on 
construction  jobs.  In  1932  he  be- 
came an  apprentice  in  Local  1180, 
Cleveland,  Ohio. 

In  1938  he  became  a  Brotherhood 
organizer  and  assisted  the  late  Harry 
Schwarzer  in  organizing  lumberyards 
and  shops  in  the  Cleveland,  O.,  area. 
He  volunteered  for  service  with  the 
Seabees  in  World  War  II  and  served 
as  a  first  class  carpenter  in  the  South 
Pacific  until  October,  1945.  when  he 
received  an  honorable  discharge. 

He  returned  to  Local  1180  and  to 
the  trade,  and  in  1947  he  became  a 
safety  representative  of  the  Cleve- 


KONYHA 

land  District  Council  and  president 
of  his  local  union. 

A  strong  advocate  of  job  safety 
practices.  Bill  Konyha  initiated  new 
safety  laws  in  construction  which 
have  become  part  of  the  safety  stan- 
dards of  the  State  of  Ohio.  His  work 
in  this  field  has  brought  him  citations 
from  the  City  of  Cleveland,  from 
Cuyahoga  County,  the  Ohio  Senate 
and  House  of  Representatives,  and 
from  other  official  groups. 

In  1952  he  was  appointed  a  Gen- 
eral Representative  of  the  Brother- 
hood, and  his  work  at  that  time  was 
directed  primarily  to  representations 
at  the  atomic  energy  plant  in  Waver- 
ly,  O.  There  were  2,000  Brother- 
hood members  employed  at  this 
project  at  the  height  of  construction, 
and  the  sound  labor  record  achieved 
there  prompted  the  U.S.  Secretary  of 
Labor  to  cite  Brother  Konyha  for 
his  work  there. 

The  new  Second  General  Vice 
President  has  served  as  president  of 
the  Ohio  State  Council  of  Carpen- 
ters since  1962.  He  helped  to  launch 
a  state  pension  program  and  a  health 
and  welfare  program  covering  most 
of  the  State  of  Ohio., 

A  vice  president  of  the  state  AFL- 
CIO,  he  is  now  president  emeritus 
of  Local  1 1 80. 

He  was  elected  as  a  member  of 
the  General  Executive  Board  at  the 
31st  General  Convention  in  San 
Francisco,  Calif.  ■

THE   CARPENTER 


First  Buyers  of 
Breakthrough  Home 

The  first  purchasers  of  homes  designed 
and  built  by  National  Homes  Corpora- 
tion especially  for  HDD's  "Operation 
BREAKTHROUGH"  Program  were  re- 
cently introduced  in  ceremonies  at 
Kalamazoo,  Mich.,  marking  the  first 
BREAKTHROUGH  units  to  be  occupied. 

National  Homes,  which  employs 
members  of  the  Brotherhood,  is  the  larg- 
est of  the  seven  producers  of  systems- 
built  housing  which  have  erected  homes 
on  the  Kalamazoo  test  site,  a  coopera- 
tive community  of  245  homes,  including 
townhouse  and  apartment  units. 

BREAKTHROUGH  test  sites  are  being 
developed  at  eight  other  locations  scat- 
tered throughout  the  country,  but  the 
Kalamazoo  development  is  the  first  to  be 
completed. 

Don  MacLaughlin,  National's  program 
manager  for  Operation  BREAK- 
THROUGH said,  "The  National  units 
are  two-story  townhouses,  with  two  or 
three  bedrooms,  full  basement,  central 
air-conditioning  and  heating.  They  are 
also  equipped  with  all  major  kitchen  and 
laundry  appliances." 

He  said  that  the  company's  Operation 
BREAKTHROUGH  systems  include 
both  two  and  three-dimensional  modular 
units  that  could  be  used  for  single- 
family  homes,  townhouses  and  garden 
apartments. 

First  occupants  of  National  Homes  at 
Kalamazoo  are  a  couple  with  one  child, 
Dr.  and  Mrs.  Tai-Shun  Lin.  Lin  is  a 
post-doctorate  research  associate  at  West- 
ern Michigan  University  where  his  wife 
is  a  student  in  the  Graduate  School  of 
Business. 

To  acquire  their  home,  the  Lins  paid 
a  $460  membership  fee  which  is  return- 
able if  they  move.  Their  monthly  pay- 
ments are  $159.00  including  all  home 
repairs,  yard  maintenance  and  their  share 


Pictured  in  the  roomy  kitchen  of  the 
National  Homes'  townhouse  they've 
selected  at  New  Horizon  Village  are  Dr. 
and  Mrs.  Tai-Shun  Lin  and  son,  Ted. 
Lin  is  a  post-doctorate  research  associate 
at  Western  Michigan  University  where 
his  wife  is  a  student  at  the  Graduate 
School  of  Business. 


of  the  interest  and  taxes  on  the  cooper- 
ative. 

National's  BREAKTHROUGH  town- 
houses  are  completely  finished  and  as- 
sembled in  the  company's  main  Laf- 
ayette, Indiana  plant,  which  is  one  of  the 
company's  18  modular  and  mobile  home 
plants  in  the  U.S.  They  consist  of  four 
three-dimensional  modules  which  form 
a  two-family  townhouse. 

Still   Going  Strong 

The  Typographical  Union  insists  that 
this  story  of  a  98-year-old  mailer  is  true: 

A  newspaper  photographer  took  his 
picture  for  an  article.  As  the  photogra- 
pher left,  he  told  the  oldster:  "I  hope 
I'll  be  right  here  taking  your  picture 
when  you're  a  100." 

"Don't  know  why  you  shouldn't  be," 
the  mailer  replied.  "You  look  healthy 
enough  to  me."  (P AI) 

AFL-CIO  Addition 

Construction  has  begun  on  an  8-story 
addition  to  the  AFL-CIO  headquarters 
in  Washington,  D.C.,  on  the  site  where 
the  old  Lafayette  Hotel  stood.  (See  pic- 
ture, top  right.)  The  House  of  Labor 
will  double  its  facilities  with  this  proj- 
ect, which  is  expected  to  take  about  18 
months  to  complete.  Members  of  the 
Brotherhood,  shown  in  the  picture  at 
right,  construct  a  barricade  for  "side- 
walk superintendents."

■  Brotherhood  members  in  Fair- 
banks, Alaska,  began  their  carpen- 
ters' apprenticeship  training  pro- 
gram 18  years  ago,  when  "the  going 
was  rough." 

Funds  for  equipment  and  supplies 
were  limited,  and  donations  were  al- 
ways needed.  The  one  instructor, 
Stanford  Stowell,  kept  the  training 
program  moving  on  schedule  only 
with  the  parttime  help  of  other 
members  scattered  through  the  ter- 
ritory. (This  was  before  statehood 
was  achieved  in  1959.) 

The  situation  changed  dramati- 
cally three  years  ago  at  the  bargain- 
ing table  when  the  Associated  Gen- 
eral Contractors  aareed  to  give — 
over  and  above  the  wage  package 
— five  cents  an  hour  for  every  Car- 
penter hour  worked  in  the  area  to- 
ward an  apprenticeship  and  train- 
ing program. 

These  additional  funds  opened 
up  many  possibilities,  including 
plans  for  a  building  to  house  the 
program.  They  also  permitted  ex- 
pansion of  training  activity  into  out- 
lying areas  and  the  bringing  of 
more  minority  trainees  into  the  pro- 
gram. (They  now  represent  more 
than  30%   of  trainees.) 

Last  December  the  Fairbanks 
Carpenters  Joint  Apprenticeship 
Committe  opened  and  dedicated  its 
new  training  headquarters,  shown 
on  the  opposite  page.  It  is  one  of 
the  most  modern  in  Alaska  and  is, 
in  fact,  one  of  the  most  complete 
apprenticeship  training  facilities  in 
the  realm  of  the  Brotherhood. 

The  new  building,  with  shops, 
classrooms,  and  an  office,  was  built 
primarily  with  donated  materials 
and  labor.  Labor  was  provided  in 
part  by  members  of  the  local  union. 
Business  representatives  from  the 
Painters,  the  Electrical  Workers, 
and  the  Sheet  Metal  Workers  Un- 
ions were  among  those  who  rolled 
up  their  sleeves  and  helped  to  get 
the  job  done. 

The  main  working  area  of  the 
facility  is  large  enough  for  the  con- 
struction of  a  complete  house,  and 
this  is  one  of  the  periodic  projects 
undertaken  by  the  students.  Upon 
the  completion  of  such  a  house, 
massive  doors  open  (See  picture,  op- 
posite page.)  and  the  house  is  moved 
outside,  where  it  is  offered  for  sale 
by  bid. 

Such  a  project  is  not  meant  to  be 
a  money-making  venture,  JAC 
leaders  state.  Instead,  it  is  intended 
as  a  means  of  reclaiming  the  bulk 
of  the  funds  expended  to  build  the 
house  and  undertake  other  student 
projects.   ■

South  Florida  Holds 
Apprentice  Contest 

The  South  Florida  Carpenters'  Joint 
Apprenticeship  Program,  sponsored  by 
both  labor  and  management,  recently 
held  its  annual  contest  to  select  the  "Ap- 
prentice of  the  Year." 

Ten  fourth-year  apprentices  competed 
in  the  contest.  These  young  men  were 
selected  by  the  Joint  Apprenticeship 
Committee  on  the  basis  of  their  overall 
school  and  work  records. 

The  apprentices  were  competing  for 
the  coveted  Arthur  E.  Stewart  Memorial 
Trophy,  which  was  initiated  by  the 
Miami  Carpenters'  District  Council  in 
memory  of  the  late  business  representa- 
tive. 

The  contest  was  won  by  David  L.  Left  to  right:  John  L.  Hickey,  .secretary-

Unions  Cover  Wide 
Area  of  Concern 

Trade  unions  are  interested  in  far 
more  than  collective  bargaining  alone- 
according  to  a  survey  on  social  action 
made  by  the  Canadian  Labor  Con- 
gress. 

Areas  of  union  involvement  include 
education  and  participation  in  citizen 
organizations,  consumer  affairs,  health 
concerns,  human  rights  and  anti- 
pollution activities. 

More  and  more  unions  are  becom- 
ing anti-pollution  advocates  and  are 
setting  up  anti-pollution  committees. 
Some  are  trying  to  get  anti-pollution 
clauses  into  their  contracts.  A  few 
have  succeeded. 


Look  for  the  union  label  when  you 
shop.  Check  for  the  union  shop  card 
when  you're  seeking  goods  and  services. 
They  are  your  assurance  of  quality  work, 
performed  under  fair  working  conditions.

FREE  BLUE  PRINTS 

have  started  thousands  toward 

BETTER  PAY  AND  PROMOTION 


That's  right!  In  all  fifty  states,  men  who 
sent  for  these  free  blue  prints  are  today 
enjoying  big  success  as  foremen,,  superin- 
tendents and  building  contractors.  They've 
landed  these  higher-paying  jobs  because  they 
learned  to  read  blue  prints  and  mastered 
the  practical  details  of  construction.  Now 
CTC  home-study  training  in  building  offers 
you  the  same  money-making  opportunity. 

LEARN   IN   YOUR  SPARE  TIME 

As  you  know,  the  ability  to  read  blue  prints 
completely  and  accurately  determines  to  a 
great  extent  how  far  you  can  go  in  building. 
What's  more,  you  can  learn  plan  reading 
simply  and  easily  with  the  Chicago  Tech 
system  of  spare-time  training  in  your  own

DICTIONARY 


This  is  the  9th  of  a  new  feature  series  pfannecf  to  keep  your  better 
informed  on  the  meoning  of  terms  related  to  collective  bargaining, 
union  contracts,  anci  union  business.  Foilow  it  closely,  and  your  union 
membership  will  become  more  meaningful,  and  your  ability  to  partici- 
pate in  decisions  which  affect  your  future  and  security  will  be  strength- 
ened. It  was  compiled  by  the  International  Labor  Press  Assn,  and  is 
used  with  permission. 


guaranteed  rate:  Minimum  rate  guaranteed  to  an  incentive  worker. 

giiideposts:  A  concept  developed  by  the  Council  of  Economic  Ad- 
visers in  1963-64  that  wage  increases,  in  general,  should  be  lim- 
ited to  the  national  rise  in  manhour  productivity,  and  that  prices 
should  be  cut  in  any  industry  whose  productivity  exceeded  the 
national  average.  The  objective  was  to  guard  against  inflation. 
The  AFL-CIO,  while  embracing  the  objective,  rejected  the  device 
as  unworkable.  Employers,  while  hailing  the  notion  of  wage 
limitations,  spurned  any  hint  of  government  influence  on  prices. 

guild:  A  labor  union,  e.g..  Guild  of  Musical  Artists,  American 
Newspaper  Guild. 

GAW:  Guaranteed  annual  wage. 

H 

hightime:  Extra  pay  for  a  worker  employed  in  high  places  above 
ground,  or  deep  places  below  ground. 

hiring  hall:  A  place  where  out-of-work  members  of  a  union  apply 
for  jobs.  There  are  legal  restrictions  on  how  such  hiring  is  con- 
ducted. Such  halls  are  run  by  unions  in  industries  where  the  em- 
ployer hires  through  the  union.  Examples  are  the  maritime  unions 
and  the  building  and  construction  trades. 

hit  the  bricks:  Go  on  strike. 

holiday  pay:  Wages  for  holidays  not  worked;  the  premium  rate 
established  for  work  performed  on  holidays.  Holidays  are 
specified  and  premium  rates  established  in  most  union  contracts. 

hot  cargo:  Goods  made  or  shipped  by  non-union  labor.  Many 
unions  refuse  to  handle  such  products,  especially  when  produced 
or  shipped  by  a  struck  company. 

hourly-rated  workers:  Those  whose  pay  is  figured  on  hours  actually 
worked  during  a  week. 

House  of  Labor:  The  AFL-CIO: 


ICFTU:  International  Confederation  of  Free  Trade  Unions,  a  fed- 
eration of  labor  movements  in  the  free  nations.  It  was  formed  in 
1949  after  it  predecessor,  the  World  Federation  of  Trade  Unions, 
fell  under  unbreakable  communist  control. 

illegal  strike:  A  strike  in  violation  of  contract,  or  one  not  properly 
voted  by  the  union  membership  or  not  authorized  by  established 
union  or  legal  procedure;  or  one  in  violation  of  a  court  injunc- 
tion.

THE    CARPENTER 


Plaques,  Certificates  Planned  for 
Locals  with  High  CLIC  Activity 


To  give  recognition  to  those  local 
unions  which  do  an  outstanding  job 
of  cooperating  with  the  Carpenters 
Legislative  Improvement  Committee, 
two  awards  have  been  instituted. 

One  is  a  bronze  plaque  which  will 
be  awarded  to  the  local  union  in  each 
district  which  showed  the  greatest  rec- 
ord of  CLIC  participation — on  a  per- 
centage of  members  making  contribu- 
tions— during  1971.  (Recipients  of 
these  plaques  will  be  announced  in  a 
later  issue  of  The  Carpenter.) 

A  special  certificate  is  also  being 
presented  to  local  unions  which  have 
shown  dramatic  improvement  in  their 
local  CLIC  programs  during  the  past 
year. 

• 

State  council  conventions  continue 
to  give  active  support  to  the  1972 
CLIC  program.  The  California  State 
Council,  which  met  in  February, 
raised  a  total  of  $3,233.00,  for  a  new 
record. 

The  Western  Council  of  Produc- 
tion and  Industrial  Workers,  which 
met  in  convention  in  Portland,  Ore., 
during  March,  also  came  up  with  a 
sizable  total.  The  delegates  to  this 
convention  contributed  $2,130.00. 


In  light  of  the  current  economic 
climate,  when  labor  is  getting  short- 
changed on  all  fronts,  the  importance 


Two  members  of  CLIC  staff  display 
certificate  and  plaque. 

of  political  action  has  never  been 
greater.  Wages  are  frozen,  but  price 
controls  are  a  farce.  Unemployment 
is  stuck  at  the  6%  level.  There  is 
inflation  and  unemployment  at  the 
same  time,  a  new  phenomenon  in 
American  economic  history.  The  solu- 
tions to  these  problems  will  come  only 
through  political  action.  Therefore,  it 
is  imperative  that  the  Administration 
and  Congress  elected  next  November 
have  a  sympathetic  understanding  of 
the  sorry  plight  existing  among  work- 
ing people.

Credit  is  Due 

CORRECTION:  In  the  final  listing  for 
1971,  we  failed  to  note  that  the  local 
unions  (#121,  393,  432,  542,  842,  1743, 
&  2098)  comprising  the  South  Jersey 
District  Council  had  contributed  a  total 
stun  of  $1,500.00. 

This  was  a  collection  taken  up  at  a 
mass  meeting  of  the  district  council,  and 
there  was  no  way  to  itemize  the  contribu- 
tions by  individual  locals. 

Also,  we  failed  to  give  credit  to  the 
district  council  for  the  1%  payroll  deduc- 
tion that  the  business  agents  and  the  Sec- 
retary-treasurer of  the  district  council 
are  making  to  CLIC.  Therefore,  the 
total  contribution  by  the  South  Jersey 
District  Council  and  its  affiliated  locals 
for  1971   is  $1,766.05. 

We  also  regret  that  we  neglected  to 
include  in  the  contributions  for  Local 
191  the  1%  check-off  of  the  business 
agent,  and  in  the  case  of  Local  1489,  the 
ITi)  contributed  by  the  business  agent  and 
the   local   union   officers. 

This  would  increase  the  contributions 
of  Local  191  to  $1,257.30,  and  that  of 
Local   1489  to  $1,626.45. 

In  the  case  of  both  of  these  local  un- 
ions, the  contributions  by  their  business 
agents  and  officers  make  them  the  top 
locals  in  each  state. 

We  deeply  regret  our  oversight  in 
these  matters.

Told   Them   The   Truth 

A  minister,  telling  his  congregation 
the  story  of  Ananias  and  Sapphiro, 
who  were  struck  dead  for  lying,  roared 
to  his  flock,  "God  doesn't  strike 
people  dead  for  lying  anymore  like 
He  used  to!  If  he  did,  where  would  1

The  congregation  began  to  snicker, 
and  the  parson  gave  them  his  "snap-

he  shouted.  "I'd  be  right  here  .  .  . 
preaching  to  an  empty  church!" —

"I    gave    her    a    lightweight    lawn-

"Does  your  husband  keep  his 
promises    from    his    courtship    days?" 

"He  certainly  does!  Before  we 
were  married  he  said  he  wasn't  good

When   she  heard  the   Mate  say; 
"Now  haul  up  the  topsheet  and

Safari,  So  Good 

The  cocktail  bore,  back  from  his 
first  African  safari,  was  relating  his 
adventures.  ".  .  .  and  right  there  on 
the  edge  of  the  village,  1  spotted  a

"Don't  be  absurd,"  replied  his 
dizzy  hostess.  "They  grow  that  way!" 

LIKE  TOOLS,  BE  SHARP  &  SAFE 

Piece  .  .   .  And  No  Quiet 

The  headshrinker  reluctantly  faced 
the  husband  and  said;  "I'm  sorry  to 
tell  you,  sir,  that  your  wife's  mind  is 
completely    gone!" 

"I'm  not  surprised,"  replied  the 
husband.  "She's  been  giving  me 
pieces  of  it  daily  for   15  years!"

B    Backcasts,  Spent  Powder 

.  .  .  Many  deer  hunters  travel  hun- 
dreds, sometimes  thousands,  of  miles  in 
quest  of  Christmas  venison  but  accord- 
ing to  note  from  Mrs.  E.  Buetnner  of 
Waterloo,  111.,  her  husband  Ed.  a  mem- 
ber of  Local  1997,  nailed  his  big  buck 
within  250  yards  of  their  back  door.  A 
head  mount  was  subsequently  fashioned 
by  fellow  local  member,  and  a  veteran 
taxidermist,   Harold    Metter. 

...  If  four-year  old  Ronald  Goforth, 
Jr.,  son  of  Ronald  Goforth,  Sr.,  Train- 
ing Director  of  New  Mexico's  Appren- 
ticeship Program,  keeps  progressing  as 
an  angler,  he's  almost  certain  to  wind  up 
with  a  world  record  catch.  He's  pictured 
here  with  two  chunky  German  brown 
trout  he  caught  this  summer  from  home 
waters.  The  trout  weighed  four  and  three 
pounds  respectively;  measured  22  and  20 
inches.  Only  help  he  had  in  landing  them 
was  net  assist  from  dad. 


Young  Ronald  Goforth 

.  .  .  Another  hunter  who  didn't  have 
to  travel  too  far  for  his  buck  is  John 
Bain  of  Landers,  California,  a  member 
of  Local  2288  for  20  years.  He  nailed 
one  at  150  yards  with  one  shot  from  his 
30-06,  Model  742  Remington.  It  was 
downed  in  a  sector  bordering  the  West 
Fork  of  the  San  Gabriel  River  in  Los 
Angeles  County,  not  too  far  from  the  big 
city.  Noteworthy,  says  Bother  Bain,  is 
that  game  department  officials  were  under 
impression  that  blacktail  was  only  species 


in  this  area.  But  the  buck  was  a  mule 
deer,  the  largest  deer  he's  ever  taken 
from  the  area. 

.  .  .  When  you're  hunting  close  to  a 
populated  area  in  the  east,  where  only 
low-velocity,  but  none-the-less  potent, 
weapons  are  allowed — such  as  shotguns, 
muskets  or  bows — you  must  get  in  close 
to  make  the  grade.  Such  was  the  prob- 
lem facing  Galen  Coughenoar,  a  mem- 
ber of  Local  9,  Buffalo,  New  York,  and 
his  hunt  partner  Rick  Guile.  Both,  tot- 
ing a  12-gauge  Browning  in  the  eastern 


part  of  New  York  State,  downed  their 
game  with  rifled  slugs,  one  at  40  yards, 
the  other  at  50  yards.  Their  game  was 
hit  on  the  run,  Galen's  buck  was  a  seven 
pointer.  Rick's  a  nine  pointer. 

H    In  My  Own  Pasture 

A  recent  fall  fishing  jaunt  to  the 
Clackamas  River  of  Oregon  with  George 
Farnsworth.  a  member  of  Portland's  Lo- 
cal 1120,  explodes 
the  theory  —  least- 
wise for  us  —  that 
the  grass  is  always 
greener  in  the 
other  man's  pas- 
ture. Both  George 
and  I  found  it 
green  in  our  own 
and  knocked  oflE  a 
limit  of  Coho  (sil- 
ver) salmon  from 
the  aforementioned 
Clackamas,  which 
is  about  30  minutes  from  my  home 
— and  flows  right  by  George's  door. 
Right;  he  lives  right  on  the  river.  Occa- 
sion was  to  test  out  a  Whitewater  drift 
boat  he  built  in  his  garage.  I  must  say 
that  his  boat  worked  fine;  his  guidesman-

■  Elk  Close  By 

One  of  the  most  treasured  of  big- 
game  species  in  the  west  is  the  elk,  other- 
wise known  as  the  Wapiti.  IVIany  hunters 
travel  thousands  of  miles  to  stalk  one  but 
not  Bill  Beaty  of  Wenatchee.  Washing- 
ton, a  member  of  Local  2205.  Mrs.  Beaty 
reports  that  Bill  got  one  less  than  an 
hour  from  their  front  door  step,  a  husk>' 
hull  elk  in  the  Clocktim  area — due  north 
of  their  home  town. 

■  Rocker-Like  Rack 

Another  outdoorsman  who  hunts  and 
fishes  near  home  base  is  Walter  E. 
Hayen  of  Sacramento,  California,  a 
member  of  Local  586.  But  he'll  also  put 
a  lot  of  miles  on  the  old  jalopy  in  pur- 
suit of  big  game  which  cannot  be  found 
at  close  range.  Recent  jaunt  to  Wyoming 
netted  a  moose-sized  mule  deer  buck  for 
Walter  which  sported  10  points:  had  a 
33-inch  spread  and  weighed  over  300 
pounds  on  the  hoof.  Here's  a  photograph 
of  Walt  with  the  rocker-like  rack.

I    Lenard  Creek  Deer 

Each  year  an  ecologically-sound  por- 
lit)n  of  deer  is  harvested  from  wildlife 
areas  over  this  nation's  far-flung  acres, 
one  in  point  being  the  Lenard  Creek  area 
of  Humbolt  County  in  the  pine  forest 
range  country  of  Nevada.  Two  hunters 
who  are  familiar  with  the  deer-lush  sec- 
tor are  Gene  Raiche  of  Reno,  a  member 
of  Local  971  for  32  years,  now  retired, 
and  his  son  Alfred,  a  member  of  the 
same  local  for  10  years.  The  nimrods 
are  pictured  here  with  a  pair  of  mule 
bucks  they  bagged  in  the  aforementioned 
area,  largest  being  a  nuxjse  of  a  mulie 
which  dressed  out  at  270  pounds  and  was 
estimated  by  Game  biologist  to  be  close 
to    12   years  of  age.

of  Local   1134  in  good  standing  for  58  years. 

Local  1889,  Downer's  Grove,  III.,  has  informed  us  of  the  death  of  Ralph 
VanDorpe.  a  past  officer  of  the  local  union  and  a  Brotherhood  member 
for  more  than  50  years. 

Local  37,  Shamokin,  Pa.,  reports  the  loss  of  William  Rhodes,  Sr.,  who 
passed  away  last  October  22  at  the  age  of  95.  Born  January  26.  1876,  he

NEW   STUD-LOCK   SCREW 


SCREW-HOLDING   DRIVERS 


The  unique  Quick-Wedge  Screw-Hold- 
ing Screwdriver  is  now  offered  in  17  dif- 
ferent sizes  of  five  basic  categories. 

First  manufactured  in  1945,  this  unu- 
usual  tool  holds,  starts,  drivers  and  sets 
the  screw  in  sizes  ranging  from  the  tiniest 
of  screws  in  size  O-80  up  to  No.  24  Sheet 
Metal  Screws.  Model  No.  1253B  for  in- 
stance, known  as  Ultra-Miniature,  has  a 
blade  diameter  of  Vs"  and  a  bit  thickness 
of  .012",  and  is  becoming  increasingly 
popular  with  persons  engaged  in  repair 
and  manufacture  of  extremely  intricate 
instruments  and  apparatus,  optical  equip- 
ment and  photographic  lenses,  etc. 

The  17-inch  long  Model  23514  can  be 
utilized  to  securely  grip  a  large  screw 
while  reaching  it  into  an  otherwise  com- 
pletely inaccessible  location.  The  same 
benefit  is  true  of  No.  17312  which  is  14 
inches  long  and  will  firmly  grip  No.  4  to 
6  sheet  metal  screws,  or  No.  4  to  7  wood 
screws  or  bolts  so  a  screw  can  be  reached 
into  an  area,  started  and  driven. 

The  shockproof,  unbreakable  Tenite  II 
handles  are  color  coded  in  green,  red  or 
blue  for  easy  identification.  For  use  .n 
circumstances  in  which  electrical  shock 
may  be  a  hazard,  these  srewdrivers  may 
be  obtained  with  a  similarly  color- 
matched  shockproof,  vinyl  covered 
tubing  which  is  effective  in  withstanding 
electrical  shock  to  the  point  of  20,000 
volts.

A  screw  with  a  new  thread  design  for 
faster  attachment  of  drywall  to  metal 
studs  has  been  introduced  by  the  Uni- 
versal Screw  Company.  The  Universal 
Stud-Lock  1-2  has  a  wide-spaced,  high- 
thread  on  the  front  portion  of  the  screw 
which  picks  up  the  board  and  delivers  it 
to  and  through  the  stud.  A  self-drilling 
point  penetrates  the  stud  and  the  high, 
wide  front  thread  taps  the  opening.  The 
final  portion  of  the  screw  has  a  double 
thread  which  seats  the  screw  securely  and 
increases  holding  power. 

Over  one-half  million  of  these  fasten- 
ers were  tested  by  contractors  across  the 
country.  They  reported  faster  driving  and 
better  holding  with  the  Stud-Lock  1-2. 
Vibration  resistance  also  is  greater,  which 
is  important  near  elevator  shafts  or  in 
high-rises  where  movement  due  to  winds 
is  significant.  In  addition  to  application 
of  wall  board  on  metal  studs,  the  Stud- 
Lock  1-2  Screw  can  be  used  on  plywood, 
pressed  board  and  particleboard.  The 
1  ',8  "  length  is  designed  so  that  the  double 
thread  portion  engages  when  used  with 
either  Vi "  or  %  "  drywall.  Thus,  only  one 
size  screw  need  be  stocked  for  these  two 
thicknesses.  Other  sizes  for  other  thick- 
nesses are  available.  For  free  sample,

SCARCE-TOOL  CATALOG 

An  expanded  48-page  catalog  which 
includes  185  new,  unusual  and  extremely 
useful  hard-to-find  tools  has  been  pub- 
lished by  the  Brookstone  Company,  Peter- 
borough, New  Hampshire. 

Brookstone  tools  are  rarely  sold  by 
industrial  distributors  or  stores  and  many 
have  never  been  offered  for  sale  before 
in  this  country.  Among  the  several  new 
items  included  in  this  unique  collection 
are:  wire  strippers,  tungsten  carbide  grit 
files,  files  and  drills  for  plastics,  side- 
action  funnels,  garnish  awls,  eight  way 
scrapers,  handsaws,  and  tenon  saws.  Also 
included  are  pruning  saws,  portable  sand 
blast  guns,  range  finders,  fire  detector 
alarms  and  nylon  vise  jaws.  Plus  hun- 
dreds of  other  versatile  hand  tools  and 
small  power  tools. 

All  are  quality  tools  and  sold  with  a 
full  money-back  guarantee.  Available  only 
by  mail.  Write:  Brookstone  Company.

HOLD-DOWN   CARRIAGES 

Hyster  Company  of  Portland,  Ore., 
announces  the  availability  of  special  new 
log  hold-down  carriages.  They  can  be 
used  on  standard  and  rough-terrain  pneu- 
matic tire  Hyster  lift  trucks  with  lifting 
capacities  ranging  from  12,500  to  25,000 
pounds. 

Constructed  of  high  strength  steel,  the 
two  basic  models  consist  of  a  set  of  pin 
mounted  72  inch  lifting  forks  on  90  inch 
carriages  with  integral,  but  hydraulically 
actuated,  hold-down  arms  that  close  in 
an  "upper  jaw"  motion  towards  the  forks. 

Capacity  of  such  a  "bite"  in  pounds 
depends  upon  the  capacity  of  the  lift 
truck.  In  terms  of  cords  of  wood,  it 
depends  upon  the  type  of  load  being 
handled.  In  most  cases,  the  two  standard 
attachments  will  handle  at  least  two  cords 
of  logs. 

The  new  carriages  are  used  in  loading 
and  unloading  small  logs,  poles,  rough 
lumber  and  railroad  ties.  The  clamping 
action  of  the  hold-down  arms  prevents 
wasteful  spillage.  In  the  fully  opened 
position,  the  arms  are  completely  out 
of  the  way  for  conventional  lift  truck 
operations. 

These  special  carriages  do  not  increase 
the  load  face  (distance  from  center  of 
front  axle  to  front  of  carriage)  in  per- 
forming their  function,  so  there's  no  loss 
of  lifting  capacity  to  a  separately  mounted 
attachment, 

Hyster  Company  can  equip  the  basic 
carriages  with  hydraulically  operated  "re- 
verse flipper  arms"  for  steadying  small 
loads.  These  flat  steel  arms  simply  come 
down  on  top  of  any  partial  load  and  sta- 
bilize it  on  the  forks.  It's  particularly 
useful  when  handling  less  than  full  loads 
of  small  logs  or  large  single  poles.  Spe- 
cial arrangements  can  also  be  made 
(through  your  Hyster  dealer)  to  have 
these  special  new  log  hold-down  car- 
riages equipped  with  various  sized  forks 
to  meet  the  particular  needs  of  any  cus- 
tomer.

WILLIAM  SIDELL,  General  President 


The  Challenges  Which  Face  Us  in  the  Years  Ahead 


■  I  suppose  nine  out  of  ten  men  who  step  into 
a  new  job  make  the  comment  that  they  have 
some  "mighty  big  shoes  to  fill."  Trite  as  the  ex- 
pression is,  I  must  make  it.  since  in  my  case  it 
happens  to  be  very  true.  I  really  do  have  some 
very  large  shoes  to  fill. 

Over  some  58  years  of  participation  in  Brother- 
hood afl'airs.  General  President  Emeritus  Hutche- 
son  acquired  experience  and  wisdom  that  made 
him  a  truly  outstanding  administrator.  His  imprint 
on  our  Brotherhood  will  endure  for  generations. 

To  follow  such  a  man  is  a  tremendous  challenge; 
I  accept  it  willingly.  However.  T  draw  great  com- 
fort from  the  fact  that  he  will  be  available  for  con- 
sultation and  advice  in  the  months  ahead. 

The  foundation  which  enabled  our  Brotherhood 
to  survive  for  almost  a  century  was  built  in  large 
part  by  General  President  Emeritus  M.  A.  Hutche- 
son  and  his  predecessor.  William  L.  Hutcheson.  It 
is  a  foundation  that  is  as  solid  as  democracy  itself. 
To  meet  the  new  challenges  we  face  it  may  be  nec- 
essary to  make  changes  in  the  framework  which  has 
been  built  on  this  foundation.  However,  the  founda- 
tion itself  will  remain  the  solid  base  upon  which 
we  build  our  future. 

The  problems  confronting  the  labor  movement 
in  general  and  our  Brotherhood  in  particular  loom 
ominously  on  the  horizon. 

The  Phase  II  efforts  to  curb  inflation  are  failing 
to  do  the  job.  Prices  keep  climbing  steadily.  On 
the  other  hand,  the  Wage  Board  continues  to  keep 
a  tight  rein  on  wage  increases.  Unemployment  is 
stubbornly  holding  close  to  the  69^   mark. 

The  trade  deficit  reaches  a  75-year  high  as 
American  (and  Canadian)  firms  export  capital  and 
technology  to  low-wage  countries  in  Asia  and 
South  America. 

The  result  is  an  ever-increasing  flood  of  imports 
from  these  low-wage  countries.  Such  goods  con- 
tribute a  great  deal  to  the  discouraging  unemploy- 
ment picture  in  the  United  States  and  Canada. 

Tax  loopholes  that  favor  the  rich  at  the  expense 


of  the  wage  earner  remain  untouched. 

All  this  adds  up  to  a  challenging  picture. 

In  our  own  industry,  jurisdictional  disputes  are 
as  frustrating  as  ever.  The  need  for  a  workable 
mechanism  for  eliminating  the  bulk  of  such  dis- 
putes has  yet  to  be  developed.  This  is  a  challenge 
the  building  trades  must  meet  if  the  growth  of  non- 
union work  is  to  be  stemmed,  or.  better  yet,  elimi- 
nated entirely. 

Not  since  the  1920's  have  the  employers  been 
so  throughly  organized  for  an  assault  on  union 
wages  and  working  conditions.  Through  the  Con- 
struction Users  Round  Table,  the  major  purchasers 
of  construction  are  enlisted  in  a  joint  effort,  in  my 
opinion,  to  strangle  the  effectiveness  of  building 
trades  unions. 

The  apprenticeship  concept  which  our  Brother- 
hood developed  over  the  years,  a  concept  that  has 
served  particularly  well,  is  threatened  by  arbitrary 
goals  and  timetables — which  are  tantamount  to  a 
quota  system  and  which  rely  on  factors  other  than 
aptitude  and  initiative  in  the  selection  process. 

I  have  merely  touched  on  some  of  the  challenges 
which  face  our  Brotherhood  in  the  years  ahead. 
While  they  appear  to  be  ominous,  they  can  all  be 
met  and  conquered,  if  we  all  work  together  har- 
moniously. 

Our  Brotherhood  was  born  in  a  period  of  up- 
heaval and  strife.  It  survived  wars,  booms,  depres- 
sions, and  anti-labor  drives  of  many  kinds.  It  suc- 
ceeded because  a  spirit  of  cooperation  and  trust 
existed  among  the  General  Officers,  the  subordi- 
nate bodies,  and  the  membership. 

I  sincerely  hope  that  this  spirit  of  cooperation 
and  trust  can  be  maintained  and,  perhaps,  even 
enhanced  in  the  years  ahead.  With  such  singleness 
of  purpose.  I  am  confident  that  nothing  can  stop  us 
from  growing,  prospering,  and  increasing  our  ef- 
fectiveness as  an  important  segment  of  the  great 
American  dream,  particularly  in  building  a  better 
standard  of  living  for  the  great  mass  of  working 
people.     ■

THE   COVER 

Postage  stamps  commemorating  the 
100th  anniversary  of  the  U.S.  Na- 
tional Parks  System  bring  color  to  our 
May  cover. 

At  upper  left  is  Mount  McKinley, 
20.320  feet,  the  highest  mountain  in 
North  America  and  the  focal  point 
of  3,030  square  miles  of  Alaskan  wil- 
derness set  aside  as  a  national  park. 
It  became  a  park  in  1917. 

Old  Faithful  Geyser  spouts  forth  to 
the  upper  right  on  an  80  stamp,  just 
as  it  has  done  for  centuries  in  Yellow- 
stone  National  Park. 

Blocks  of  four  20  stamps  combine 
to  complete  a  design  showing  Cape 
Hatteras  National  Seashore.  Each  20 
section  may  be  used  separately,  or  the 
entire  stamp  can  be  used  as  a  regular 
80  stamp.  (This  is  the  first  four-part 
stamp  ever  created  by  Uncle  Sam.) 

The  City  of  Refuge  National  His- 
torical Park  on  the  Island  of  Hawaii 
was  created  in  1955.  Until  1819, 
Refuge  was  a  sanctuary  for  Hawaiians 
vanquished  in  battle  and  those  guilty 
of  crimes  or  breaking  taboos. 

The  60  Wolf  Trap  Farm  stamp  will 
be  issued  June  26  at  Vienna,  Va. 
Wolf  Trap  Farm  Park  for  the  Per- 
forming Arts,  near  the  nation's  capital, 
is  a  new  concept  in  the  National  Park 
System.    It  opened  last  summer. 

NOTE:  Readers  who  would  like  copies 
of  this  cover  unmarred  by  a  mailing  label 
may  obtain  them  by  sending  10(j'  in  coin

It  all 
started 
around  a 
campfire 
a  century 
ago 


■  In  this  era  of  tightly-packed 
people  .  .  .  when  you  push  and 
shove  into  subways  .  .  .  when  you 
groan  and  drum  your  fingers  against 
the  steering  wheel  in  daily  traffic 
jams  .  .  .  it's  good  to  know  that 
somewhere  out  there  your  fellow 
man  has  set  aside  and  made  avail- 
able to  you  acres  and  even  miles  of 
natural  scenery  .  .  .  woods,  moun- 
tains, desert  .  .  .  where  you  might 
some  day  get  away  from  the  mad- 
ding crowd. 

One  hundred  years  ago — in 
March,  1872,  to  be  exact — Presi- 
dent Ulysses  S.  Grant  signed  a  Con- 
gressional bill  to  make  this  scenery 
available  to  you  and  to  millions  of 


US  acfion  fo  preserve  ifs 
national  heritage  stimulated 
similar  moves  in  90  other 
nations   of  the  world.

others  for  generations  to  come.  He 
signed  a  document  setting  aside 
more  than  two  million  acres  in  the 
Wyoming  and  Montana  Territories 
"as  a  public  park  or  pleasuring 
ground  for  the  benefit  and  enjoy- 
ment of  all  the  people." 

This  was  the  beginning  of  the 
US  National  Park  System,  which 
has  grown  today  to  38  national 
parks  and  more  than  240  historic 
sites  and  monuments.  Its  30-million 
acre  domain  embraces  forested 
mountains  and  vast  limestone  cav- 
erns,   volcanoes    and    hot    springs, 


famous  buildings,  battlefields,  gey- 
sers and  glaciers — man  and  nature's 
wonders. 

The  US  National  Park  System  is 
truly  something  of  which  we  can 
all  be  proud  ...  a  direct  rebuttal 
to  the  radicals  who  see  Uncle  Sam 
as  a  symbol  of  industrial  pollution 
and  corrupt  capitalism.  The  park 
system  was  unique  when  it  was 
established  in  1872.  Today  it  is 
emulated  by  90  nations  of  the 
world. 

Glacier  Bay  National  Monument, 
covering  2,803,840  acres  of  Alaska, 
is  the  largest  site  in  the  national 
park  system. 

The  smallest  is  an  old  brick  house 
that  occupies  l/20th  of  an  acre  of 


land  in  the  center  of  Washington, 
D.C.  The  mortally  wounded  Abra- 
ham Lincoln  was  carried  to  a  room 
in  this  house  after  being  shot  in 
Ford's  Theatre  across  the  street. 

The  theater,  now  restored  and 
the  scene  of  regular  stage  perform- 
ances, also  is  administered  by  the 
National  Park  Service. 

Americans    paid    some    380,000 

visits  to  the  Nation's  parks  in  1916. 

By  1941  the  number  exceeded  20 

miUion,  and  in  1955  it  reached  50

million.  Officials  anticipate  vaca- 
tioners will  pay  more  than  212  mil- 
lion visits  to  national  parks  and 
memorials  this  year. 

Commenting  recently  on  the  cen- 
tennial of  the  park  program.  Secre- 
tary of  the  Interior  Rogers  C.  B. 
Morton  observed: 

"What  began  at  Yellowstone  has 
developed  into  a  system  of  national 
parks  that  has  vastly  improved  the 
quality  of  life  for  many  Americans 
and  now  plays  a  vital  role  in  the 
effort  to  understand  and  sustain  our 
environment  .  .  . 

"When  President  Grant  signed 
into  law  the  Yellowstone  Act,  he  did 
more    than    set    aside    two    million 


acres  of  superlative  scenery  and 
natural  wonders.  He  gave  birth  to 
a  revolutionary  concept  in  the  cus- 
tody of  our  nation's  resources  and 
bequeathed  us  a  trust  of  undefiled 
land  .  .  ." 

As  open  space  in  the  United  States 
has  decreased,  the  country's  national 
parks  have  expanded. 

Slightly  more  than  a  century  ago 
it  appeared  unnecessary  to  set  aside 
public  land  for  parks.  America's 
supply  of  clear  streams  and  lakes, 
unspoiled  forests  and  beaches 
seemed  inexhaustible. 

Montana  Territorial  Judge  Cor- 
nelius Hedges  is  credited  with  ad- 


vancing the  national  park  concept 
around  a  campfire  on  September 
19,  1870.  With  14  others,  he  had 
just  spent  three  weeks  surveying  the 
scenic  wonders  of  Yellowstone. 

Several  in  the  mapping  party 
wanted  to  stake  claims.  Judge 
Hedges  proposed  the  area  be  pre- 
served for  all  to  enjoy,  and  sug- 
gested asking  the  government  to 
designate  it  as  a  public  park. 

His  companions  agreed,  but  Con- 
gress was  skeptical.  Congressmen 
felt  there  always  would  be  sufficient 
space  for  Americans  to  hunt,  hike, 
fish,  or  camp.   It  was  a  big  country. 

Nor  were  descriptions  of  Yellow- 
stone's beauty  always  believed.  One 
member  of  the  survey  group  who 


told  of  the  region's  geysers,  boiling 
springs,  and  cliffs  of  black  volcanic 
glass  was  labeled  "the  champion  liar 
of  the  West." 

Ridicule  stopf)ed  only  when  pho- 
tographer WiUiam  H.  Jackson  vis- 
ited the  area  a  year  later  and  re- 
turned with  pictures.

ROUNDUP 


PROFIT  VIOLATIONS — More  than  20%  of  the  nation's  largest  corporations  are  violating 

Price  Commission  regulations  by  raising  their  profit  margins  'beyond  permissible 
levels,  according  to  a  Nixon  Administration  official.   Donald  Rumsfeld,  director 
of  the  Cost  of  Living  Council,  said  a  review  of  105  quarterly  reports  from  firms 
with  S50  million  or  more  in  annual  sales  revealed  that  at  least  24  of  them 
"apparently  (are)  operating  at  profit  margins  in  excess  of  those  permitted  by 
the  regulations." 

UNEMPLOYMENT  climbed  back  near  the  6%  level  that  has  prevailed  for  almost  a 
year  and  a  half,  and  AFL-CIO  Pres.  George  Meany  declared  that  the  increase, 
coupled  with  a  new  rise  in  the  Wholesale  Price  Index,  reveals  "the  continuing 
economic  mess  confronting  the  American  people." 

The  jobless  rate  edged  up  to  5.9%  in  March  on  a  seasonally  adjusted  basis 
after  dipping  to  5.7%  in  February.   And  although  the  number  of  persons  with  jobs 
made  its  greatest  increase  in  nearly  five  years,  there  were  still  5.2  million 
persons  unemployed — not  far  below  the  10-year  high  of  5.5  million  reached 
last  July. 

COMPULSORY  ARBITRATION — "We  regard  compulsory  arbitration  of  emergency  disputes 
as  an  anti-labor  measure  masquerading  as  public  interest  legislation,  and  we 
intend  to  fight  it  with  all  the  strength  at  our  command." 

That  was  the  message  AFL-CIO  President  George  Meany  took  to  Congress  in 
testimony  before  the  Senate  Labor  Committee  against  two  bills  dealing  with 
so-called  emergency  strikes  that  would  affect  not  only  the  railroads  and  airlines, 
but  also  the  maritime,  longshore  and  trucking  industries. 

PUBLIC  WORKS — Strong  endorsement  for  a  Senate  bill  that  would  create  a  national 
public  works  development  program  to  meet  today's  critical  needs  for  both  jobs 
and  public  facilities  has  been  expressed  by  the  AFL-CIO. 

AFL-CIO  Legislative  Director  Andrew  J.  Biemiller  told  the  Senate  Public 
Works  Committee  that  labor  "heartily  endorses"  the  greater  Federal  commitment  to 
jobs  and  public  investments  provided  in  S.3381,  the  proposed  Public  Works  Act. 
But  he  urged  that  Congress  require  creation  of  a  Federal  Office  of  Development 
to  make  sure  that  funds  are  used  effectively  and  apportioned  fairly,  that 
regional  commissions  conform  to  national  development  goals  and  that  labor 
standards  provisions  are  enforced. 

'REVENUE-SHARING' — The  House  Ways  and  Means  Committee  has  approved  a  "revenue- 
sharing"  bill  which  is  getting  close  study  by  labor  legislative  representatives 
who  think  it  may  open  the  way  to  tax  relief  for  property  owners  rather  than 
create  new  jobs. 

The  bill  would  provide  $4.5  billion  this  year  to  state  and  local  governments 
with  a  total  of  about  $30  billion  over  five  years.   The  money  could  be  spent  on 
public  safety,  public  transportation,  pollution  control  including  sewers  and 
garbage  disposal.   The  bill  differs  from  the  original  Nixon  proposals  which 
would  have  given  more  to  the  states  and  less  to  the  cities. 

What  is  of  concern  to  organized  labor  is  that  the  measure  would  largely 
leave  the  states  and  localities  free  to  use  the  money  as  they  see  fit.   Thus  it 
could  be  used  to  carry  on  current  services  and  permit  tax  cuts  without  being 
used  for  new  and  needed  projects  that  would  create  new  jobs  at  a  time  of  high 
unemployment. 

WINDFALL  PROFITS — Obviously  stung  by  labor  criticism  that  wage  cuts  ordered  by 
the  Pay  Board  are  resulting  in  "windfall  profits"  for  employers,  the  Price  Com- 
mission now  says  that  it  is  ordering  price  cuts  in  such  situations. 

So  far,  however,  the  Commission  is  taking  action  only  in  cases  where 
corporations  boosted  prices  in  anticipation  of  paying  higher  wages  that  were  pared 
down  by  the  Pay  Board. 

ENVIRONMENTAL  CONFERENCE — Environmental  problems  affecting  labor  will  be  covered 
by  experts  at  a  four-day  conference  May  15  at  the  AFL-CIO  Labor  Studies  Center 
in  Washington.   Up  for  discussion  are  the  energy  crisis  and  nuclear  plants,  air 
pollution  and  the  Clean  Air  Act,  and  the  effect  of  the  Occupational  Health  and 
Safety  Act  on  the  job  environ.ment .

Areas  in  color  are  those  in  which  Brotherhood  members  are  covered  by  pension  reciprocity  agreements. 


National  Pension  Reciprocity: 
GROWING... But  Not 


■  The  idea  of  portable  pensions 
for  members  of  the  United  Brother- 
hood of  Carpenters  and  Joiners  of 
America  is  taking  hold,  as  the  ac- 
companying map  shows.  Many  large 
pension  funds  serving  Carpenters 
have  signed  the  Pro  Rata  Pension 
Agreement,  as  urged  in  General 
President  M.  A.  Hutcheson's  letter 
to  local  unions  and  councils  of  April 
30,  1971. 

Carpenters  can  now  transfer  em- 
ployment freely  within  the  shaded 
areas  of  the  map  without  losing  ac- 
cumulated pension  rights.  This  is 
because  their  pension  fund  trustees 
have  signed  the  National  Pro  Rata 
Pension  Agreement. 

This  is  an  important  new  develop- 
ment for  Carpenters.  It  is  needed, 
too.  Everyone  knows  that  in  the  con- 
struction industry  workers  must  go

where  the  work  is.  A  factory  exists 
to  bring  the  work  to  the  worker,  but 
construction  work  is  different  and 
often  requires  travel. 

Many  of  our  members,  of  course, 
are  fortunate  enough  to  always  find 
work  in  their  home  jurisdiction. 
Others  have  to  transfer,  as  the  work 
requires.  Still  others  move  as  a 
matter  of  choice. 

We  have  been  striving  for  a  prin- 
ciple: that  whenever  a  member 
moves,  for  whatever  reason,  it 
should  not  result  in  a  loss  of  his  pen- 
sion rights. 

Pensions  are  too  valuable  to  lose. 

Under  most  pension  plans,  a  rec- 
ord of  work  over  a  long  period  of 
time,    and   generally   covering    one 


area,  is  necessary  to  qualify  for  a 
pension.  Ten,  15,  20,  or  more  years 
of  service  may  be  required  as  a  con- 
dition of  receiving  a  pension,  de- 
pending on  the  specific  rules  of  a 
particular  plan.  Such  rules  are  nec- 
essary. They  were  established  to  en- 
able pension  plans  to  pay  adequate 
benefits  to  those  with  long  service  in 
the  industry. 

But,  we  say,  the  rights  of  some- 
one who  has  been  a  Carpenter  in 
several  jurisdictions  should  be 
greater  than  the  rights  of  someone 
who  has  only  spent  a  relatively  short 
period  of  time  in  the  craft.  The  Pro 
Rata  Pension  Agreement  is  a  prac- 
tical way  for  pension  fund  trustees 
to  recognize  this.  A  Pro  Rata  Pen- 
sion Agreement  means  that  each 
pension  fund  pays  its  pro  rata  share

Ochocki  Succeeds 
Konyha  to  Board 

Anthony  "'Pete"  Ochocki  has  been 
named  to  the  General  Executive 
Board  of  the  United  Brotherhood, 
as  Board  Member  from  the  3rd  Dis- 
trict, it  was  announced  last  month 
by  General  President  William  Sidell. 

Ochocki  fills  the  vacancy  created 
by  the  recent  election  of  William 
Konyha  as  Second  General  Vice 
President. 

He  brings  to  this  new  post  a 
wealth  of  grassroots  experience  in 
organizing,  craft  training,  and  local 
union  and  district  council  adminis- 
tration. 

Ochocki  started  working  at  the 
trade  at  an  early  age  after  being 
orphaned  and  going  to  live  with  an 
uncle,  who  was  in  the  general  con- 
tracting and  logging  business. 

He  worked  in  both  these  areas 
of  the  industry  until  going  into  mili- 
tary service  in  1942. 

Upon  returning  from  the  service, 
he  worked  on  many  of  the  commer- 
cial construction  jobs  in  Detroit,  as 
well  as  spending  some  time  in  the 
shops  and  mills. 

Active  in  Brotherhood  affairs 
since  1947,  he  served  Local  337  as 
secretary  pro  tem  in  1949  and  was 
elected  recording  secretary  in  1950. 

Appointed  business  representative 
of  Carpenters  District  Council.  De- 
troit, Michigan,  August  8,  1952,  he 
served  in  that  capacity  until  Septem- 
ber 1,  1958.  when  he  resigned  to 
take  a  position  as  business  repre- 
sentative and  organizer  for  Shop  and 
Mill  Local  1452. 

He  continued  in  this  position  until 
July  1,  1960,  when  he  took  office 
as  financial  secretary  and  business 
agent  of  his  home  Local  337.  He 
served  as  member  of  the  apprentice- 
ship committee  and  then  as  secre- 
tary of  the  committee. 

He  served  in  this  capacity  until 
he  resigned  in  late  summer,  1963, 
to  return  to  the  Carpenters  District 
Council,  Detroit,  as  administrative 
assistant  to  the  secretary-treasurer. 
He  served  one  two-year  term  as

August  1,  1969,  as  director  of  orga- 
nization. 

He  served  in  this  capacity  until 
his  appointment  as  General  Execu- 
tive Board  Member  of  the  Third 
District  April  15,  1972. 

During  the  period  of  his  employ- 
ment as  a  representative  of  the

THE    CARPENTER 


■  Our  exploding  population  keeps 
moving  closer  together.  Soon,  70  per- 
cent of  the  people  will  be  living  on 
only  10  percent  of  the  land.  And  land 
surrounding  our  largest  urban  areas 
is  running  out. 

It's  easy  to  talk  about  moving  peo- 
ple to  less  populated  areas,  but  people 
are  not  easily  shuffled  from  their 
homes  to  "colonize"  vacant  areas. 
American  builders  can  build  almost 
anything — except  more  land.  So,  it's 
impossible  to  move  the  land  to  the 
people.  What  Americans  in  increasing 
numbers  seem  to  want,  and  cannot  at- 
tain right  now,  is  a  country  lifestyle 
near  an  urban  center. 

What  are  the  solutions  to  the  land 
shortage  problem?  While  some  people 
see  the  skyscraper  apartment  building 
as  the  typical  future  dwelling,  others 
are  looking  to  history  for  guidance — 
specifically,  to  our  colonial  villages. 
In  early  American  towns,  such  as 
Williamsburg  and  Savannah,  the  dom- 
inant feature  was  a  "common"  or 
"green"  where  people  gathered  to  en- 


joy community  life.  Homes  were  clus- 
tered around  these  open  areas. 

This  cluster  idea  was  gradually  re- 
placed by  the  new  "American  Dream" 
the  single  family  detached  house,  set 
squarely  amidst  its  own  front,  back 
and  side  yards,  and  facing  streets 
which  favored  cars  above  pedestrians. 
After  World  War  II,  America's  fast 
growing  population  needed  living 
space  in  a  hurry,  so  cookie-cutter  sub- 
divisions with  row  upon  row  of  look- 
alike  houses  were  hastily  built. 

Can  this  much  lamented  suburban 
sprawl  be  halted?  The  new  interest 
in  our  environment  is  one  positive 
sign  that  builders  will  have  to  find 
different  directions.  In  the  past,  some 
developers  bought  parcels  of  land  and 
leveled  them  completely  before  be- 
ginning construction.  Trees,  hills  and 
other  "obstacles"  were  bulldozed  into 
oblivion. 

Today's  sophisticated  consumers, 
however,  no  longer  want  to  live  in 
barren  communities  where  the  only 
personality  expressed  is  in   the  color

of  a  house's  shutters.  They  want 
houses  of  distinctive  design  and  com- 
munities which  offer  a  variety  of  op- 
portunities for  recreation  and  neigh- 
borhood activities.  They  want  an  end 
to  "bedroom  communities." 

To  satisfy  these  desires,  builders 
and  developers  resorted  to  some  plan- 
ning techniques  which,  while  not  en- 
tirely new,  have  not  been  widely  used. 
They  found  they  could  provide  the 
space  needed  for  hiking  trails,  swim- 
ming pools,  tennis  courts  and  com- 
munity buildings  by  reducing  the  size 
of  individual  lots. 

The  houses  are  then  grouped  around 
cul-de-sacs  and  curved  streets,  as  op- 
posed to  the  usual  gridiron  pattern, 
with  private  patios  and  desks  replac- 
ing the  fenced-in  backyards.  The  street 
design  places  houses  away  from  traf- 
fic, providing  more  privacy  and  greater 
safety. 

Many  developers  are  now  using 
these  cluster  ideas  in  planned  com- 
munities where  land  is  treated  as  one 
overall  unit,  not  a  collection  of  indi- 
vidual identical  lots.  These  communi- 
ties include  several  different  types  of 
dwellings — single  family  houses,  town- 
houses,  apartments — as  well  as  com- 
munity centers,  churches  and  schools. 

An  important  goal  of  this  unified 
planning  is  to  keep  the  buildings  com- 
patible with  the  natural  and  existing 
landscape.  To  help  accomplish  this, 
exterior  wood  siding,  shingles  and 
roofing  have  been  used  effectively  as 
natural  materials,  so  the  housing 
blends  in  with  the  natural  settings. 

Is  the  planned  community  concept 
catching  on?  According  to  the  Ameri- 
can Wood  Council,  91  Federal  Hous- 
ing Administration  planned  communi- 
ty applications  were  approved  in  1 968. 
The  figure  in  1970  jumped  to  353. 
But,  while  many  people  are  supporting 
new  planning  concepts  and  other 
housing  innovations,  some  remain  sus- 
picious about  any  development  that 
contains   more  individual  units. 

They  forget  when  an  area  has  a 
slightly  higher  population  density, 
taxes  are  lower  and  it's  easier  to  pro- 
vide essential  services.  Even  with 
more  people,  a  planned  community 
has  a  greater  amount  of  open  space 
and  recreational  area  than  a  typical 
suburban  subdivision. 

The  goal  of  many  concerned  citi- 
zens today  is  flexible,  creative  zoning 
which  se  s  an  accepted  density  of 
housing  per  acre,  rather  than  setting 
minimum,  standardized  lot  sizes. 
Zoning  by  density,  with  provisions  for 
open  space,  could  be  achieved  by 
amending  existing  ordinances  to  allow 
for  planned  communities.  ■

First  meeting 
place  for 
Presbyterians 
in  Washington: 
a  carpenters' 
shed  on  the 
White  House 
grounds  .  .  . 


■  The  cornerstone  for  the  White 
House — a  slab  of  pale  gray  lime- 
stone from  a  nearby  quarry  in  Vir- 
ginia— was  laid  on  October  12, 
1792,  exactly  300  years  after  Co- 
lumbus sighted  the  new  lands  of 
America. 

It  was  to  be  the  first  Federal 
building  in  Washington  City  and, 
for  the  ensuing  eight  years,  it  was 
site  of  much  construction  activity. 

Called  at  that  time  "The  Presi- 
dent's Palace,"  the  building  had  the 
characteristic  features  of  an  18th- 
century  English  country  house.  Its 
principal  ornamentation  lay  in  the 
fenestration — large  windows  with 
alternating    arched    and    triangular

pediments.  A  three-story  structure 
of  more  than  100  rooms,  it  required 
the  services  of  many  stone  masons. 

It  was  these  stone  masons — pri- 
marily craftsmen  brought  in  from 
Scotland — who  founded  what  has 
become  the  National  Presbyterian 
Church  and  Center  in  the  nation's 
capital.  Lacking  a  formal  place  of 
worship,  the  masons  assembled  reg- 
ularly in  1793  in  a  wooden  carpen- 
ters' shed  on  the  White  House 
grounds.  Two  years  later  the  group 
organized  St.  Andrew's  Presbyte- 
rian Church,  from  which  the  First 
Presbyterian  Church  of  Washington 
evolved. 

The  Rev.  John  Brackenridge,  a 
26-year-old  Dickinson  College  grad- 
uate, came  from  Baltimore  to  be- 
come minister  of  St.  Andrew's,  and 
he  labored  long  and  hard  with  his 
small  group  of  workmen  to  estab- 
lish a  church.  Finally,  in  1811  the

created  the  national  church  and  re-

one  of  several  such  centers  estab-

THE    CARPENTER 


Matters  Before  The  Congress 
And  Labor's  Watchful  Eye 


BY   CHARLES   E.   NICHOLS 

General  Treasurer  and  Director  of  Carpenters  Legislative  Improvement  Committee 


■  So  far  this  year  Congress  has 
operated  with  one  eye  on  the  needs 
of  the  country  and  the  other  eye  on 
the  election  scheduled  for  November 
7.  The  result  has  been  a  great  deal  of 
rhetoric  on  important  matters,  but 
not  too  much  constructive  action. 

As  director  of  CLIC,  I  would  like 
to  briefly  summarize  some  of  the  im- 
portant matters  which  are  pending  be- 
fore the  Congress. 

There  are  a  host  of  anti-labor  bills 
in  the  hopper,  but  none  seem  to  have 
much  serious  support.  However,  it  is 
necessary  to  monitor  what  the  various 
Congressional  committees  are  doing  to 
insure  that  some  particularly  bad  leg- 
islation is  not  sneaked  through. 

A  major  concern  of  most  people  is 
the  problem  of  taxes.  Several  compre- 
hensive tax  reform  bills  are  before 
both  Houses.  We  are  exerting  all  the 
eifort  we  can  to  have  tax  reform 
brought  up  this  year. 

A  study  made  by  a  Scripps-Howard 
reporter  concludes  that  40%  of  U.S. 
corporations  escape  paying  their  full 
share  of  taxes  through  loopholes  of 
various  kinds.  He  pointed  out  that 
U.S.  Steel  paid  only  token  taxes  to  the 
United  States  on  a  net  income  of 
$150  million.  In  fact,  it  paid  four 
times  as  much  taxes  to  Venezuela  on 
its  operations  there  as  it  did  to  the 
U.S.  Treasury,  where  the  vast  bulk 
of  its  income  was  earned. 

The  chances  of  getting  through  tax 
reform  are  directly  geared  to  the 
amount  of  pressure  which  organized 
labor  can  generate  on  Capitol  Hill. 

Another  major  item  of  concern  to 
our  members  is  pension  fund  legisla- 
tion. A  number  of  bills  have  been 
introduced  in  both  Houses  to  regulate 
pension  plans  in  private  industry.  Sev- 

MAY,    1972 


eral  of  the  measures  are  very  danger- 
ous in  that  benefits  could  be  reduced. 
We  are  closely  watching  all  develop- 
ments in  pension  legislation  to  insure 
that  no  damaging  bills  are  passed. 

Last  year.  President  Nixon  vetoed 
a  bill  designed  to  pep  up  the  economy 
through  an  accelerated  public  works 
program.  A  new  bill  has  been  intro- 
duced to  increase  public  works  author- 
ization for  the  next  year  in  areas  of 
critically  high  unemployment.  We  are 
lending  our  best  efforts  to  get  this  bill 
reported  out  and  passed. 

Anti-strike  legislation,  too.  is  get- 
ting some  attentibi  from  the  labor 
foes  in  Congress.  Compulsory  arbitra- 
tion of  strikes  in  the  transportation 
industry  is  an  important  aim  of  the 
reactionary  forces  in  the  Congress. 
Labor  is  opposing  the  imposition  of 
compulsory  arbitration  in  any  form. 

Two  years  ago  the  Occupational 
Health  and  Safety  measure  was  passed 
as  a  result  of  a  great  deal  of  hard 
work  on  the  part  of  CLIC  and  the 
political  arms  of  many  other  labor 
unions.  The  bill  has  never  been  prop- 
erly funded,  with  the  result  that  the 
protective  features  of  the  Act  have 
not  been  adequately  enforced  since 
the  required  staff  of  inspectors  was 
never  hired.  One  of  our  major  roles 
is  to  get  adequate  funding  for  the 
Health  and  Safety  Act.  Of  equal  im- 
portance is  passage  of  the  National 
Health  Security  Bill,  which  has  been 
held  over  from  last  year.  The  AFL- 
CIO  considers  passage  of  the  Kennedy- 
Griffiths  Health  Security  Bill  as  a 
number  one  objective  for  1972.  Under 
the  terms  of  this  bill,  the  costs  of 
medical  care  would  be  brought  under 
control  and  the  calamitous  burdens 
which  health  care  now  places  on  work- 


ing people  unfortunate  enough  to  be 
hit  by  prolonged  illness  will  be  elimi- 
nated. 

No-fault  auto  insurance  to  reduce 
the  escalating  costs  of  automobile  in- 
surance is  another  objective  of  the 
labor  movement.  A  uniform  motor 
vehicle  insurance  bill  is  pending  in 
Congress,  and  a  great  deal  of  work 
will  be  needed  to  get  it  through  the 
committee  procedure  and  on  to  the 
floor  of  the  House  and  Senate. 

A  bill  to  establish  a  consumer  pro- 
tection agency  is  still  bogged  down  in 
committee,  and  a  good  deal  of  pres- 
sure will  need  to  be  generated  before 
it  gets  serious  consideration. 

A  new  Housing  and  Urban  Devel- 
opment Bill  passed  the  Senate  by  a 
nearly  unanimous  vote  last  March. 
However,  the  bill  is  still  before  the 
House  Banking  and  Currency  Com- 
mittee. There  are  many  members  of 
Congress  who  want  to  see  Davis- 
Bacon  provisions  eliminated  from  all 
construction.  They  see  the  Housing 
bill  as  a  place  where  they  can  start 
their  battle  to  knock  out  the  whole 
Davis-Bacon  concept.  Therefore,  it  re- 
quires eternal  vigilance  on  our  part 
to  see  that  the  Housing  bill  is  not 
used  as  a  vehicle  for  destroying  Davis- 
Bacon. 

These  are  only  a  few  of  the  matters 
which  are  pending  in  Congress  at  the 
present  time.  There  are  many  other 
matters  being  kicked  around  which 
are  of  vital  interest  to  our  members, 
and  they  are  being  watched  very  care- 
fully by  not  only  CLIC  but  also  the 
entire  labor  movement. 

For  all  these  reasons,  it  is  impor- 
tant that  CLIC  be  given  greatest  possi- 
ble support  this  year.  ■

Canadians  Say  They  Can  Have  Jobs  and  Protect  Forests,  Too 


Two  strong  and  valid  points  of  view 
clashed  when  the  Canadian  govern- 
ment expressed  its  official  view  before 
the  United  Nations  that,  as  a  choice 
between  growth  and  ecology  under 
present  economic  conditions,  growth 
must  come  first. 

This  view  clashed  with  that  of  the 
Science  Council  of  Canada  which 
said  it  had  many  reservations  about  the 
possibility  of  reconciling  growth  with 
the  improvement  of  environmental 
quality,  which  the  government  thinks 
is  possible  in  the  next  10  or  20  years. 

The  black-or-white  dilemma  which 
seems  to  face  the  nation  is  growth 
(jobs)   or  a  clean  environment. 

Woodworkers  in  British  Columbia's 
forest  industry  who  were  asked  which 
they  wanted,  jobs  or  fishing,  replied 
that  in  their  opinion  they  could  have 
both.  They  are  interested  actively 
in  "keeping  Canada  clean"  and  are 
convinced  that,  if  this  objective  is 
gone  after  in  the  right  way,  they  will 
have  their  jobs,  and  will  be  able  to 
spend  their  leisure  time  fishing  if  they 
want  to. 


The  federal  government  is  under 
heavy  pressure  of  unemployment  right 
now.  so  it  may  be  unrealistic  to  ex- 
pect them  to  publicly  take  a  longterm 
view  of  the  problem.  But  the  Science 
Council  has  a  responsibility  "to  tell 
it  like  it  is".  It  made  five  major 
proposals. 

First,  more  planning  in  all  provinces 
and  regions  of  Canada  and  establish- 
ment of  a  national  institute  of  ur- 
ban analysis. 

Second,  experimental  programs  in 
urban  transportation,  and  in  schemes 
to  make  urban  living  more  bearable. 

Third,  more  public  ownership  of 
urban  and  expansion-area  land  to 
counter  land  speculators  and  encour- 
age planning. 

Fourth,  revitalization  of  the  con- 
struction industry. 

Fifth,  a  major  study  in  waste  dis- 
posal which  should  get  top  priority. 

Not  surprisingly  the  construction 
industry  got  a  raking  over.  As  any- 
one who  knows  the  industry  is  aware, 
it  is  very  well  managed  in  some  areas 


which  can  compare  with  the  best  on 
the  continent,  but  as  a  whole  it  is 
chaotic. 

The  Science  Council  which  made  its 
views  known  in  a  report  to  the  gov- 
ernment says  that  the  construction  in- 
dustry is  fragmented,  undercapitalized, 
too  seasonal,  too  many  hazardous 
working  conditions,  and  doesn't  make 
enough  use  of  Canada's  highly  quali- 
fied manpower. 

In  short  the  industry  is  really  in- 
efficient, is  a  drag  on  the  economy, 
and  this  situation  is  aggravated  by 
the  government's  stop-and-go  policies 
with  respect  to  housing. 

The  Council  makes  a  strong  attack 
against  present  practices  in  land  own- 
ership where  land  speculators  hold 
needed  land  off  the  market  until  they 
get  the  price  they  want,  usually  a  30 
percent  net  profit  which  is  "why  land 
makes  up  a  third  of  the  purchase 
price  of  a  house". 

It  urges  more  public  ownership  of 
land.

A  unique  sound.  Because 
while  anybody  can  make  a

makes  one  with  a  blade  cushion 
to  reduce  end-hook  breakage. 
No  other  tape  has  it. 

Which  isn't  surprising,

That's  why  we  coat  our

We  do  just  as  much  for  our

Team  Studying  San  Fernando  Earthquake 
Calls  For  New  Construction  Methods 


■  A  destructive  earthquake  struck 
the  San  Fernando.  Calif.,  area  on  Feb- 
ruary 9,  1971,  causing  64  deaths  and 
one-half  billion  dollars  damage. 

This  Richter  magnitude  6.6  shock 
was  not  a  major  earthquake,  but  it 
occurred  in  an  area  with  a  concentra- 
tion of  large  and  costly  public  facilities 
which  sustained  severe  damage.  With- 
in 24  hours  a  team  of  specialists  from 
the  National  Bureau  of  Standards  in 
Washington  was  on  the  scene  to  re- 
cord and  report  on  structural  damages. 
Dispatched  at  the  request  of  the  White 
House  Office  of  Emergency  Prepared- 
ness, four  members  of  the  NBS  Build- 
ing Research  Division  examined  and 
photographed  homes,  schools,  hospi- 
tals, roads,  bridges,  public  services,  and 
flood-control  facilities.  A  major  re- 
port, summarizing  their  findings,  and 
including  some  recommendations  to 
minimize  future  earthquake  damage,  is 
now  available.' 

EVALUATE   PROCEDURES 

After  careful  study  of  the  San  Fer- 
nando area,  the  engineers  agreed  that 
present  procedures  used  to  update 
design  regulations  should  be  evaluated 
to  find  more  expeditious  ways  to  in-

umns, the  collapse  could  possibly  have 
been  prevented. 

The  team  recommends  that  evalua- 
tion of  the  earthquake  hazard  of  struc- 
tures built  under  old  building  codes 
should  begin  immediately.  This  is  par- 
ticularly important  for  critical  public 
buildings.  They  cite  the  collapsed  San 
Fernando  Veterans  Administration 
Hospital  buildings  which  were  built 
well  before  the  existence  of  earthquake 
requirements.  Critical  public  buildings 
should  be  scheduled  for  rehabilitation 
or  removal.  Design  requirements  of 
hospitals,  emergency  services  such  as 
fire  and  police,  utilities,  communica- 
tions, transportation  netuorks,  schools, 
and  high-occupancy  buildings  should 
reflect  the  importance  of  the  facility 
and  the  degree  of  danger  involved  in 
its  failure. 

Four  hospitals  in  the  area  of  the 
earthquake  were  unable  to  function 
because  of  datnage.  Water,  sewage, 
gas.  and  electric  facilities  were  severe- 
ly damaged  in  the  San  Fernando 
Valley  as  were  bridges  important  as 
potential  evacuation  routes.  Disrupted 
power  and  telephone  switching  equip- 


ment added  to  the  seriousness  of  the 
situation. 

Deformation  and  deflection,  as  well 
as  strength,  should  be  considered  in 
earthquake-resistant  design.  This  is 
illustrated  by  the  horizontal  and  verti- 
cal movements  which  caused  bridge 
girders  to  move  off  their  supporting 
abutments  and  piers.  Ground  displace- 
ments must  be  studied  carefully  to  de- 
termine appropriate  magnitudes  of 
movement  which  should  be  accounted 
for  in  design. 

Hazards  of  falling  light  fixtures, 
emergency  lights,  suspended  ceilings 
and  other  overhead  objects  should  also 
be  given  engineering  consideration. 

It  also  calls  for  more  adequate  tying 
together  of  units  where  large  openings 
in  walls  are  provided  for  garages  or 
entranceways,  as  this  was  found  to  be 
a  particular  weak  spot  by  the  survey- 
ors. Chimneys,  too,  should  be  ade- 
quately reinforced  and  anchored  to  the 
main  structure.  The  report  also  calls 
for  the  developtnent  of  improved  meth- 
ods for  supporting  mobile  homes. 

The  adequacy  of  present  design  re- 
quirements for  the  seismic  design  of 
dams  should  be  reviewed,  says  the  re- 
port, citing  the  near-failure  of  the  Low- 
er San  Fernando  Dam  located  above 
a  densely  populated  residential  area. 
All  existing  dams  located  close  to  a 
dense  population  should  be  examined 
for  strength  and  stability  due  to  ground 
faulting  and  acceleration. 

FLEXIBLE  JOINTS 

The  report  recommends  flexible 
joints  and  automatic  cut-off  valves  to 
forestall  seepage  of  water  and  sewage 
into  gas  lines  which  may  fracture  dur- 
ing severe  ground  movements.  Proper 
anchorage  of  heavy  electrical  equip- 
ment to  structural  elements  of  a  build- 
ing is  essential. 

Design  of  elevator  systems  should 
be  reviewed  to  insure  their  operation 
after  a  disaster.  During  the  San  Fer- 
nando earthquake,  many  elevators 
were  put  out  of  commission.  Had  the 
quake  occurred  during  hours  of  heavy 
use  instead  of  six  o'clock  in  the  morn- 
ing, lives  would  have  been  endangered. 
Had  fires  occurred,  the  passengers  of 
immobile  elevators  almost  surely  would 
have  died. 

The  report  concludes  that  an  ex- 
panded and  improved  seismograph  net- 
work should  be  installed  in  public 
buildings  in  earthquake-prone  regions 
throughout  the  United  States.  Infor- 
mation provided  by  the  strong-motion 
seismograph  is  the  single  best  source  of 
scientific  data  that  can  be  used  in  post- 
earthquake  studies  of  structure  per- 
formance.   ■

THE    CARPENTER 


Rockwell  saws  are 
built  for  builders. 


Nobody  makes  as  many  power 
saws  as  Rockwell.  We  know  what 
skilled  guys  like  yourself  want  in  a 
saw  whether  it's  a  portable,  table  or 
radial  model. 

Portable  sstvis 

Because  Rockwell  has  13  models, 
you  can  choose  the  size,  speed,  power, 
special  features  and  price  you  want. 
There  are  8"  to  12"  extra  heavy  duty 
models,  6%"  to  10V4"  heavy  duty 
models  and  6%"  and  7V2"  high  torque 
worm  drive  saws.  There's  even  a  4V2" 
heavy  duty  trim  saw  that's  great  for 
cutting  laminates,  plywood  and 
"problem"  materials. 

They  all  have  the  feel  and  balance 
a  pro  can  appreciate,  failure-protected 
motors  and  ball  bearing  construction. 
Most  have  unique  features  like  an 
exclusive  external  gear  lubricator. 

Table  saws 

Rockwell/Delta  tilting  arbor  saws 
have  been  proven  everywhere — in 
home,  school,  cabinet 
and  woodworking 


shops  and  on  building  sites.  They 
have  convenient,  accurate  controls, 
big  capacity,  extra  large  table 
surfaces  and  rugged  construction . 

Radial  saws 

Every  Rockwell/Delta  radial  saw 
has  up-front  controls  and  famous 
double  overarm  action  for  greater  left 
hand  miter  capacity. 

To  sum  up : 

Rockwell  makes  more  power  tools, 
for  more  jobs,  for  more  industries  than 
anyone  in  the  world.

THE    CARPENTER 


ANADIAN 
'  T     REPORT 

Labor  Defends  The  Public  Interest: 
Three  Prime  Examples  Are  Cited 


The  trade  union  movement  can 
point  to  tliree  examples  in  recent 
months  where  it  has  tried  to  defend 
the  public  interest  against  both  big 
business  and  big  government. 

Interestingly  enough,  each  example, 
if  taken  back  to  its  starting  point,  can 
be  said  to  have  had  a  six-year  history 
at  least. 

First  Example: 
Taxation  Report 

The  first  example  goes  back  to  the 
time  when  the  Royal  Commission  on 
Taxation  reported  in  a  memorable 
document  which  came  to  be  known 
as  the  Carter  Report.  Its  chairman 
was  not  a  radical  but  a  corporate 
chartered    accountant    named    Carter. 

In  a  nutshell  Carter  said  that  lower 
income  groups  were  paying  in  taxes 
a  higher  percentage  of  their  income 
than  the  higher  income  groups.  He 
called  for  thorough  tax  reform. 

Big  business  launched  a  terrific  on- 
slaught against  Carter's  recommenda- 
tions. The  government  introduced  a 
bill  which  didn't  go  as  far  as  Carter 
proposed,  then  modified  even  that  in 
the  tax  reform  bill  which  became  ef- 
fective January  1st  of  this  year. 

The  trade  union  movement  sup- 
ported Carter  to  the  hilt.  It  is  still 
fighting  to  narrow  the  gap  between 
rich  and  poor  through  effective  tax 
and  social  legislation. 

Second  Example: 
Labor  Amendments 

The  amendment  of  federal  labor 
legislation  provides  a  second  example. 
Over  six  years  ago  the  Freedman  Re- 
port urged  the  federal  government  to 
amend   the    labor   legislation   to    give 


the  workingman  and  his  family  some 
protection  against  technological 
change. 

The  report,  while  dealing  specifi- 
cally with  railway  run-throughs,  de- 
clared "there  is  a  responsibility  upon 
the  entrepreneur  who  introduces 
change  to  see  that  it  is  not  affected 
at  the  expense  of  his  working  force." 

This  report  was  welcomed  as  a 
rallying  point  by  the  trade  union 
movement. 

Big  business  attacked  it.  When  the 
federal  labor  department  introduced 
amendments  which  would  give  em- 
ployees in  unions  under  federal  legis- 
lation at  least  some  protection,  the 
legislation  was  bitterly  attacked  by  big 
business  and  before  the  end  of  last 
year,  was  withdrawn  from  the  order 
paper. 

The  trade  unions  didn't  think  that 
legislation  went  far  enough.  But  it 
was  accepted  as  a  step  in  the  right 
direction.  Improvements  could  be 
fought  for  later. 

Third  Example: 
Competition  Act 

The  so-called  Competition  Act  pro- 
vides a  third  example. 

In  June  1971,  the  Federal  Depart- 
ment of  Consumer  and  Corporate  Af- 
fairs submitted  proposals  which,  if 
passed  into  law,  would  give  the  public 
some  protection  against  false  adver- 
tising, the  fast  buck  salesman,  the 
false  warranty  and  various  other  de- 
ceptive practices  which  business  uses 
to  get  more  dollars  for  less  value. 

Consumer  organizations  and  the 
trade  union  movement  supported  the 
legislation. 

Again  big  business  attacked  the  bill. 
It  was  withdrawn,  temporarily  at  least. 


Is  This  a  Prelude 
To  New  Labor  Code? 

Tax  reform,  as  mentioned  above, 
has  come  into  effect  in  modified  form. 
Business  isn't  happy  because  it  is  too 
complex  and  too  burdensome.  Orga- 
nized labor  isn't  happy  because  the 
capital  gains  tax  is  only  on  50%  of 
profits  instead  of  100%  and  so  on. 

Now  labor  legislation  is  back  in  the 
picture. 

The  new  Labor  Minister  Martin 
O'Connell  has  re-introduced  labor  act 
amendments  which,  if  adopted,  really 
mean  a  new  Canada  Labor  Code. 

The  changes  will  go  before  a  par- 
liamentary committee  for  discussion 
before  going  to  parliament  for  enact- 
ment. 

It  is  a  long  document,  but  its  ini- 
tial reception  in  union  circles  has  been 
good. 

According  to  Mr.  O'Connell,  the 
legislation  is  intended  "to  protect  the 
public  interest  by  increasing  stability 
of  labor-management  relations 
throughout  the  collective  bargaining 
process." 

He  went  on  to  say  that  the  acceler- 
ating pace  of  technological  change  is 
creating  conditions  which  seriously 
jeopardize  that  stability. 

The  new  legislation  aims  at  en- 
couraging employers  and  unions  to 
reach  some  kind  of  agreement  during 
normal  contract  negotiations  on  the 
issue  of  technological  changes  which 
could  occur  during  the  life  of  a  new 
contract. 

A  weakness  is  that  the  legislation 
does  not  cover  current  agreements  and 
this  has  already  been  pointed  out  by 
the  Canadian  Labor  Congress. 

Mr.  O'Connell  proposes  to  set  up  a 
full-time  National  Labor  Relations 
Board.  It  would  have  the  power  to 
deal  with  unfair  practices,  individuals' 
rights  and  other  factors  as  well  as 
technological  changes. 

One  thing  in  particular  which  the 
CLC  likes  in  the  new  labor  legislation 
is  its  preamble,  which  states  that  the 
bill  is  written  to  strengthen  free  col- 
lective bargaining  and  to  promote  the 
constructive  settlement  of  disputes 
through  an  improved  legal  framework. 

The  arguments  pro  and  con  before 
the  parliamentary  committee  —  busi- 
ness on  one  side  and  labor  on  the 
other — will  be  worth  watching. 

When  adopted,  the  legislation  will 
cover  only  530,000  unionized  em- 
ployees under  federal  law. 

The  balance  of  the  working  force —

about  7  million — is  covered  by  prov- 
incial laws  which  will  also  bear  re- 
vision. But  the  federal  statutes  provide 
a  lead. 

Views  on  Task  Force 
CMHC  Housing  Study 

When  Robert  Andras  was  minister 
of  urban  affairs,  he  authorized  a  task 
force  study  of  low  income  housing 
through  the  federal  agency,  Central 
Mortgage  and  Housing. 

The  task  force  was  set  up  with  six 
research  groups  going  to  work  on 
different  aspects  of  housing  for  low 
income  families. 

The  research  reports  were  in  the 
hands  of  the  urban  affairs  department 
and  CMHC  last  October.  They  were 
not  made  public.  Its  chairman,  a  To- 
ronto lawyer,  was  suDPosed  to  sum- 
marize the  research  before  the  mate- 
rial would  see  the  light  of  day. 

Months  went  by  and  no  report. 

So  one  research  group  just  went 
ahead  and  made  its  own  findings  pub- 
lic. This  group  was  made  up  of  three 
University  of  Montreal  professors 
headed  by  Melvin  Charney,  professor 
of  architecture. 

The  Charney  report  charged  that 
the  federal  government  was  function- 
ing without  an  established  housing  pol- 
icy while  its  agency,  CMHC,  was  act- 
ing simply  as  a  banker  and  technical 
adviser  in  the  interests  of  the  devel- 
opers and  not  of  the  home-buying 
public. 

The  CMHC  president,  H.  W.  Hig- 
nett,  called  the  report  "a  lot  of  bloody 
nonsense,"  but  the  facts  are  that  until 
about  1970,  90%  of  the  housing 
built  with  CMHC  federal  funds  were 
for  109f  of  the  people — the  upper  in- 
come groups. 

Only  during  the  last  two  years  has 
CMHC  acted  as  though  the  lower 
income  groups  deserved  some  particu- 
lar consideration. 

Charney  proposes  that  CMHC  adopt 
a  comprehensive  policy  which  would 
include  new  construction,  rehabilita- 
tion and  maintenance  and  that  prov- 
incial and  municipal  authorities  and 
non-profit  organizations  take  over  the 
role  of  developer-builders  in  the  home- 
building  industry. 

If  matters  continue  as  they  have, 
the  housing  situation  will  get  worse, 
says  Charney. 

No  wonder  CMHC  is  sitting  on  the 
reports. 


Canada's  Inflation 
Rate  Is  Compared 

Canada  has  contained  inflation  bet- 
ter than  any  other  developed  country 
in  the  last  few  years,  but  has  paid  the 
price  in  unemployment. 

This  was  the  view  expressed  in  an 
economic  analysis  from  the  Organiza- 
tion of  Economic  Co-operation  and 
Development.  This  is  a  body  on  which 
most  of  the  major  developed  nations 
are  represented. 

Price  increases  for  all  goods  and 
services  rose  less  than  3%  last  year 
over  1970.  This  compares  with  4%  in 
the  United  States,  4.9%  in  Italy  and 
9.4%  in  Britain,  for  example. 

But  when  it  comes  to  unemploy- 
ment, OECD  says  that  Canada  had 
more  people  out  of  work  than  France, 
Germany  and  Norway  combined. 

In  the  10  years  from  1962,  Can- 
ada's inflation  rate  has  averaged  3.1%. 
The  United  States  has  averaged  3.3% 
and  France  4.2%. 

Is  Personal  Income 
Meeting  Housing  Rise? 

Real  estate  reporters  are  using  in- 
come and  cost  of  living  figures  to 
show  that  over  a  period  of  10  years, 
incomes  across  Canada  have  kept  up 
with  rising  prices  for  housing. 

Taking  1961  as  100,  the  consumer 
price  index  was  136.3  in  December, 
1971.  But  the  shelter  index  stood  at 
153.5%.  Shelter  costs  went  up  faster 
than  living  costs  in  general. 

However,  so  did  incomes.  Average 
incomes  in  the  same  period  went  up 
as  much  as  shelter  costs — 54% . 

Here  is  where  further  analysis  is 
necessary.  Not  everyone  gets  the  aver- 
age income  or  more.  Half  get  less, 
and  for  those  the  index  isn't  very 
helpful. 

In  addition,  in  some  areas  of  Can- 
ada, housing  costs  have  gone  up  far 
faster  than  incomes.  People  in  these 
areas  aren't  helped  by  the  fact  that  in 
some  areas  housing  costs  may  have 
gone  up  less  than  incomes  have. 

The  third  point  is  that  prices  of 
houses  for  sale  have  gone  up  faster 
than  rents.  The  family  that  wants  a 
single  family  home  and  not  an  apart- 
ment will  likely  be  paying  out  more 
of  its  income   than   if  it  had   rented. 

On  the  other  hand  paying  for  a 
home  entails  some  saving.  When  the 
home  is  paid  off,  it's  a  major  asset. 

Finally — housing  costs  are  still 
headed  up.  Will  incomes  rise  as  fast? 


Urban  Canada  Has 
Big  30-Year  Outlook 

In  the  next  30  years,  a  new  urban 
Canada  will  be  built  equal  in  size  to 
the  one  developed  in  the  past  400 
years. 

This  presents  a  mind-boggling  chal- 
lenge to  the  legislators,  planners  and 
developers  and  all  others  involved  in 
the  decision-making  process. 

The  job  ahead  is  of  such  immense 
proportions,  according  to  one  of  Can- 
ada's leading  architects,  J.  C.  Parkin, 
that  it  could  easily  be  botched  unless 
new  techniques  and  design  values  are 
adopted. 

He  has  in  mind  the  particular  prob- 
lems of  a  country  like  Canada,  most 
of  which  is  affected  by  cold  climate 
many  months  of  the  year. 

He  makes  a  number  of  original 
suggestions,  but  one  part  of  his  ideas 
is  worth  quoting  here: 

"On  our  side  we  have  two  things. 
One  is  the  kind  of  people  we  are — a 
quiet,  stubborn,  northern  race  with  a 
talent  that  may  be  a  genius  for  com- 
promise, a  streak  of  wry  humor  and 
a  sense  of  human  values. 

"The  other  ...  is  that  we  haven't 
yet  made  any  irretrievable  mistakes. 
Our  cities  are  still  viable;  our  air  is 
not  yet  the  air  of  death;  we  still  have 
fresh  water  and  free  land." 

Canadian  Industry 
More  Tightly  Held 

Canada's  manufacturing  industry  is 
more  tightly  held  than  its  counterpart 
in  the  United  States. 

This  was  one  conclusion  of  a  study 
by  the  Combines  Investigation  Branch 
of  the  federal  government  which  found 
the  heaviest  concentrations  of  owner- 
ship in  finance,  manufacturing  and 
mining. 

The  study  used  1965  figures  which 
showed  that  50  corporations,  each 
with  assets  of  $100  million  or  more, 
accounted  for  40%  of  total  assets  in 
manufacturing. 

Of  20,000  manufacturing  corpora- 
tions with  total  sales  of  $34  billion, 
half  of  the  output  came  from  only  453 
of  them.

Arctic  Bell  Saved 
By  Boston  Member 

A  member  of  Carpenters  Local  40, 
Boston,  Mass.,  has  anonymously  donated 
to  his  local  union  an  historic  ship's  bell 
from  the  USS  Bear,  a  wood-hulled  vet- 
eran of  48  Arctic  voyages  and  World  War 
II  service. 

The  bell,  which  had  been  on  display 
in  a  showroom  of  the  Atlantic  Marine 
Exchange  Corp.,  in  Boston,  cost  the  donor 
more  than  $2,000.  The  local  union  plans 
to  display  the  bell  at  its  headquarters.

Hanna  Heads  New  California  Program 


Charles  F.  Hanna.  former  chief  of  the 
California  State  Division  of  Apprentice- 
ship Standards,  has  been  named  director 
of  the  Northern  California  Carpenters 
Apprenticeship  and  Training  Program. 

Hanna,  who  served  as  DAS  Chief  from 
1955  until  April  1971,  recently  took  over 
the  task  of  pulling  together  two  merged 
programs  which  had  been  separately  de- 
veloped— one  in  the  five  San  Francisco 
Bay  counties  and  the  other  in  the  41 
other  Northern  California  counties. 

Hanna,  a  product  of  apprenticeship 
training  himself  who  worked  for  years  as 
a  carpenter  before  becoming  a  union  offi- 
cial, was  selected  after  the  46-County 
Board  of  Trustees  established  earlier  this 
year  to  oversee  the  merged  program  had 


interviewed  more  than  200  applicants. 

Gordon  Littman.  who  had  served  as 
director  of  the  Five  Bay  Counties  pro- 
gram, has  been  named  assistant  director. 

Littman,  who  has  worked  with  Hanna 
on  apprenticeship  problems  for  some  16 
years,  said  he  was  looking  forward  to  the 
task. 

"In  my  book  he  is  the  most  knowledge- 
able man  in  the  field  of  apprenticeship 
in  this  country,"  Littman  said,  referring 
to  Hanna. 


The  1972  liitcnialionul  Carpenters  Ap- 
prenticeship Contest  will  he  held  in  Las 
Vcaas,  New,  Aiif>.  23-26.  Your  stale  or 
province  should  be  represented. 


On-Job  Training 
Programs  Continue 

The  Brotherhood  recently  signed  a 
new  government  agreement  to  train  3,235 
jobless  and  underemployed  workers  in 
an  on-the-job  training  program  operating 
in  44  states. 

The  union  will  conduct  the  training 
through  its  joint  apprenticeship  com- 
mittees and  modular  housing  contractors 
who  have  bargaining  agreements  with  the 
union. 

Financed  with  $2,570,000  in  Man- 
power Development  &  Training  Act 
funds,  the  18-month  program  will  focus 
on  recruiting  jobless  Vietnam  era  vet- 
erans, minority  group  members  and  dis- 
advantaged  workers. 

Four  types  of  training  will  be  offered: 
pre-apprenticeship  for  525  persons,  ap- 
prentice-entry for  570.  skills  upgrading  for 
1.140  and  modular  housing  construction 
for   1.000. 

In  an  existing  training  contract  with 
the  Labor  Dept.,  the  Brotherhood  re- 
cruited 4.500  persons,  graduated  1,860 
and  have  1,950  still  in  training.

Mr.  Pert  Sez; 

Letting  the  students  decide  how  the

diaper.

Said  the  Mama  Rabbit  to  her  small

questions?

Flushed   With   Success 

The  lecturing  psychologist  had  just 
stated  that  a  superb  poker  player 
could  hold  down  any  executive  job 
when  he  was  interrupted  by  a  meek 
little  man.  "Tell  me,  professor,"  he 
asked,  "what  would  a  superb  poker 
player  want  with  a  job?" 
—Hans  Haase,  L.U.  2155,  Dix  Hills,

Po-Light   Linguist 

Said  one  drunk  to  another:  "Shay 
.  .  .  after  you  bin  drinkin'  a  lot,  does 
your  tongue  burn?" 

"I  dunno,"  replied  the  other,  "I 
ain't  never  been  drunk  'nuff  to  try  to 
light  it!" 

R  U  REGISTERED  2  VOTE.' 

Unfair   Competition 

When  the  husband  came  home  he 
was  met  by  his  wife  who  said  angrily: 
"I've  been- to  a  Women's  Lib  meet- 
ing. From  now  on,  I'm  not  catering 
to  your  whims!  I  have  my  own  life 
to  lead  and  I'm  not  going  to  be 
treated  as  an  object  instead  of  a 
real  person!  I'm  going  on  strike!" 
The  husband  silently  gathered  her  in 
his  arms  and  kissed  her  thoroughly. 
As  she  went  limp,  she  managed  to 
shudder:  "Strikebreaker!"  —  Dulcie 
Leche,   Eggnog   Branch,  Texas. 

UNIONISM  STARTS  WITH  "U" 

Example  of  Double-Think 

"I  have  to  think  twice  before  I 
can  get  out  of  the  house,"  said  a 
much-married  husband.  "First  I  have 
to  think  up  a  reason  for  going  out. 
Next  I  have  to  think  up  a  reason  why 
she  can't  go  with  me!"

This   Month's   Limerick

"Come  in  out  of  the  rain  with  that

Adding   Another   Wrinkle! 

He  had  been  made  a  vice-president 
of  his  firm  and  bragged  about  it  so 
much  that  his  wife  finally  said;  "You 
know  vice  presidents  at  your  plant 
are  a  dime-a-dozen.  Why,  at  the 
supermarket  they  even  have  a  vice- 
president-in-charge-of-prunes!" 

Furious,  the  husband  phoned  the 
supermarket  and  asked  to  speak  to 
"the  vice-president-in-cha  rge-of- 
prunes." 

"Which  kind?"  was  the  reply. 
"Packaged   or   bulk?" 


The   Worm   Turns 

Two  caterpillars  were  crawling 
across  a  leaf  when  a  butterfly  flew 
over.  One  caterpillar  nudged  the 
other  and  said:  "You  couldn't  get 
me  up  in  one  of  those  things  for  a 
million    bucks!" 

STRIKE  A  LICK— GIVE  TO  CLIC 

Uncovered  the   Cause! 

A  marriage  counsellor,  questioning 
a  wife,  asked,  "Did  you  wake  up 
grumpy  this  morning?" 

"No,"  she  replied.  "I  let  him 
sleep!"  —  Patrice  D.,  Los  Angeles, 
Calif.

too  fast  is  often  that  he  says  some- 
thing he  hasn't  thought  of  yet.

THE    CARPENTER 


U-I  Show  To  Be 
In  San  Diego 

The  world's  largest  labor-management 
exposition  will  be  in  sunny  California 
at  the  San  Diego  Community  Concourse 
from  June  9  through  14. 

The  setting  for  a  unique  exposition 
such  as  the  U-I  Show  with  over  300  ex- 
hibits and  $100,000  in  free  prizes,  et 
cetera,  is  most  appropriate.  The  host  city 
is  as  exceptional  as  the  show. 

Founded  in  1769  by  Gaspar  de  Portola, 
governor  of  Lower  California,  San  Diego 
was  named  after  Didacus  de  Alcala,  a 
Franciscan  Saint.  It  was  here  the  re- 
nowned Father  Junipero  Serra  set  up 
the  first  of  21  missions. 

The  mission  of  the  Union-Industries 
Show  is  to  display  firsthand  how  labor 
and  management  have  worked  together 
for  the  common  good. 

"Progress  thru  Cooperation"  is  the 
whole  idea  behind  the  Show  and  the 
people  of  San  Diego  are  people  with  their 
eyes  toward  the  future  and  their  feet  on 
the  ground — all  building   together. 

NATIONAL  PENSION 

Continued  from  Page  7 

of  a  pension  to  a  worker  who  quali- 
fies and  who  has  spent  his  career 
in  more  than  one  jurisdiction. 

How  it  works  can  be  illustrated 
by  citing  a  simple  example:  Suppose 
a  Carpenter  has  a  30-year  career  in 
the  trade,  and  he  works  20  years 
under  the  jurisdiction  of  Plan  A, 
and  ten  years  under  the  jurisdiction 
of  Plan  B.  When  he  retires,  Plan  A 
would  pay  his  two-thirds  of  its  $300- 
per-month  normal  pension,  or  $200 
per  month.  Plan  B,  where  the  nor- 
mal pension  is  $400  per  month, 
would  pay  one-third,  or  $133  per 
month.  Each  plan  would  apply  its 
own  rules  (with  the  exception  of  the 
Pro  Rata  Pension  rules,  which  are 
uniform).  Each  plan  would  inde- 
pendendy  determine  the  Carpenter's 
eligibility  for  benefits.  Each  plan 
would  be  operated  by  its  own  board 
of  trustees.  The  Pro  Rata  Pension 
Agreement  simply  provides  that 
each  participating  plan  will  recog- 
nize service  credits  under  other  par- 
ticipating plans  for  limited  purposes. 

A  great  deal  has  been  accom- 
plished toward  achieving  the  goal  of 
transferable  pensions.  The  United 
Brotherhood  stands  ready  to  assist, 
in  furnishing  full  information  to  trus- 
tees of  pension  funds  which  are  now 
considering  this  matter.  ■

These 

FREE  BLUE  PRINTS 

have  started  thousands  toward 

BETTER  PAY  AND  PROMOTION 


That's  right!  In  all  fifty  states,  men  who 
sent  for  these  free  blue  prints  are  today 
enjoying  big  success  as  foremen,  superin- 
tendents and  building  contractors.  They've 
landed  these  higher-paying  jobs  because  they 
learned  to  read  blue  prints  and  mastered 
the  practical  details  of  construction.  Now 
CTC  home-study  training  in  building  offers 
you  the  same  money-making  opportunity. 

LEARN   IN   YOUR  SPARE  TIME 

As  you  know,  the  ability  to  read  blue  prints 
completely  and  accurately  determines  to  a 
great  extent  how  far  you  can  go  in  building. 
What's  more,  you  can  learn  plan  reading 
simply  and  easily  with  the  Chicago  Tech 
system  of  spare-time  training  in  your  own 
home.  You  also  learn  all  phases  of  building, 
prepare  yourself  to  run  the  job  from  start 
to  finish. 


CASH   IN  ON  YOUR  EXPERIENCE 

For  over  68  years,  building  tradesmen  and 
beginners  alike  have  won  higher  pay  with 
the  knowledge  gained  from  Chicago  Tech's 
program  in  blue  print  reading,  estimating, 
foremanship  and  contracting.  Through  step- 
by-step  instruction,  using  actual  blue  prints 
and  real  specifications  of  modern,  up-to-date 
buildings,  you  get  a  practical  working 
knowledge  of  every  building  detail  —  a 
thorough  understanding  of  every  craft.  And 
as  a  carpenter  or  apprentice,  you  already 
have  valuable  experience  that  may  let  you 
move  up  to  foreman  even  before  you  com- 
plete your  training. 

Don't  waste  a  single  day.  Start  preparing

PORTABLE   GENERATORS 


The  Black  &  Decker  Manufacturing 
Company  will  market  nationally  a  new 
line  of  portable  generators  which  will 
provide  power  for  portable  electric  tools. 
The  company  has  been  selling  the  gen- 
erators in  selected  markets  since  January. 

Patrick  .T.  McDonough.  vice  president 
and  general  manager  of  the  firm's  Pro- 
fessional Products  Division,  said.  "These 
new  generators  will  permit  operation  of 
power  tools  in  areas  where  there  are  no 
existing  power  lines.  The  need  for  this 
type  of  secondary  power  source  is  partic- 
ularly great  in  construction  operations, 
and  many  types  of  maintenance." 

Powered  by  Briggs  &  Stralton  gasoline 
engines  operating  at  3600  rpm.  the 
rugged  generators  include  a  2000-watt 
model  No.  .■i620.  2500-watt  model  No. 
3625.  4000-watt  model  No.  3640  and 
5000-watt  model  No.   3650. 

All  four  of  the  Black  &  Decker  AC. 
generators  are  statically  excited  to  elimi- 
nate commiUators  and  commulalor 
brushes  and  reduce  maintenance.  They  are 
painted  brieht  orarge  for  ma^imimi 
visibility  and  are  furnished  with  vibra- 
tion  isolators   to  minimize   walking. 

The  compact  2000-watt  generator 
weighing  75  pounds  can  be  carried  by 
one  man.  The  model  No.  3620  generator 
produces  16.6  amps  at  120  volts  A.C,  from 
the  5-h('rsepouer  engine  and  a'so  has  a 
15-amp  capacity  at  12  volts  DC.  for  re- 
charging    batteries.     This     unit     features 


a  recoil  starter,  two  3-prong  grounding 
receptacles,  battery  terminals,  and  runs 
quietly  with  a  low-tone  muffler. 

The  2500-watt,  4000-watt  and  5000- 
watt  generators  are  powered  by  5,  8,  and 
lO-horsepower  engines,  respectively. 
Each  has  an  automatic  idling  control  that 
reduces  engine  speed  to  about  2000  rpm 
when  the  load  is  removed,  economizing 
on  fuel  and  extending  engine  life.  Normal 
speed  is  resumed  when  100  or  more  watls 
are  applied.  Steel  outlet  boxes  are  located 
on  top  of  the  units  for  convenient  access. 
The  model  No.  3625  generator  produces 
20.8  amps  at  120  volts  A.C,  is  recoil 
started  and  weighs  105  pounds.  Also  re- 
coil started,  the  model  No.  3640  gener-

'LIVING   WEDGE' 


A  new  patented  "living  wedge"  which 
more  permanently  locks  the  head  of  the 
hammer  to  the  wood  handle  than  the 
usual  wood  or  steel  wedge,  has  been 
announced  by  Vaughan  and  Bushnell 
Manufacturing  Company,  11414  Maple, 
Hebron,  Illinois  60034.  Specially  de- 
signed and  manufactured,  the  plastic 
wedge  is  compressed  as  it  is  installed, 
under  5,000  lbs.  hydraulic  pressure.  As 
the  moisture  in  the  wood  handle  dries 
oui  over  a  period  of  time,  the  "shrinking" 
of  the  wood  may  result  in  the  loosening 
of  the  usual  hammer  head.  The  new 
Vaughan  "living  wedge"  slowly  expands 
to  its  original  shape  as  the  wood  shrinks, 
thereby  automatically  compensating  for 
this  natural  drying-out  process  and  cre- 
ating a  permanent  handle  tightness.  The 
new  wedge  is  being  introduced  in 
Vaughan's  Value  brand  and  Double  Duty 
hickory  handled  hammers,  and  is  being 
identified  by  a  special  label  on  the  head.

directly  down  through  the  workpiece  to 
start  a  cutout,  instead  of  "tipping  in"  the 
bit.  When  the  bit  reaches  a  pre-set  depth 
of  cut,  the  motor  shaft  locks  automa- 
tically at  that  depth. 

At  the  finish  of  a  cut,  a  fingertip  touch 
of  a  release  lever  unlocks  the  motor  shaft 
which  retracts  automatically  back  up  into 
the  base,  zeroing  out  the  bit.  This  feature 
eliminates  the  danger  of  gouging  the 
workpiece  when  withdrawing  the  tjit  at 
the  end  of  a  cut.    It  also  lets  the  router

be  set  upright  on  bench  or  workpiece  even 
before  the  bit  stops  spinning. 

Another  exclusive  feature  is  a  "quik- 
change  collet"  that  is  hand  loosened  and 
tightened  simply  by  turning  a  knob  atop 
the  motor  housing.  This  makes  bit  chang- 
ing a  fast,  one-hand  operation  requiring 
no  wrenches.  The  knob  is  connected  with 
a  shaft  lock  and  can  be  loosened  only 
when  the  shaft  lever  is  in  "lock"  position. 

Also  a  "first"  for  this  router  is  the  loca- 
tion of  the  handles  on  the  motor  housing 
rather  than  the  base.  This  location  gives 
the  operator  more  positive  control  be- 
cause the  trigger  switch  is  built  into  the 
handle  and  is  less  tiring  in  continuous 
production  use. 

The  depth  adjustment  gauge  is  scaled 
in  inches  and  millimeters  for  very  fine 
depth  adjustments. 

Designed  for  the  heaviest  duty  produc- 
tion operations,  the  Stanley  90205  router 
puts  out  over  2'/i  hp.,  operates  at  21,500 
rpm.,  weighs  under  16  lbs.  The  motor 
has  all  ball-bearings,  oversized,  sealed  and 
lubed  for  life.  Oversized  fan  keeps  the 
tool  cool  in  production  applications.  Ex- 
tra length  brushes  are  provided  for  longer 
life  and  less  maintenance.  Leads  are 
welded  and  of  highly  heat-resistant  wire. 
The  power  cord  is  an  eight-foot  type  S 
rubber  cord.

WILLIAM  SIDELL,  General  President 


Spiraling  Prices  and  Profits  Caused  Labor  to  Walk  Out 


■  Organized  labor  never  has  had  a  very  good 
press.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  the  more  successful 
the  labor  movement  has  become,  the  more  anti 
the  newspapers  and  electronic  media  have  become. 

However,  the  attacks  on  labor  have  never  been 
as  vitriolic  as  they  have  been  since  George  Meany 
and  three  other  members  of  the  Pay  Board  turned 
in  their  resignations. 

The  press  seems  to  be  doing  its  best  to  create  the 
impression  that  organized  labor  is  to  blame  for  all  the 
inflation  which  has  taken  place  during  the  Nixon 
administration. 

Actually,  the  wages  of  working  people  are  lagging 
far  behind  price  increases.  The  game  plan  devised  by 
the  Nixon  administration  simply  is  not  working. 

In  the  four  months  that  the  administration's  price 
controls  have  been  in  effect  since  last  November  the 
wholesale  price  index  has  risen  at  a  yearly  rate  of  6%. 
During  the  6-month  period  immediately  oreceding 
the  imposition  of  price  and  wage  controls,  the  annual 
rate  of  increase  was  4.6%.  In  other  words,  under  the 
existing  controls,  prices  increased  much  faster  than 
they  did  before  the  control  program  was  instituted. 
The  reason  is  not  hard  to  fathom.  There  are  some 
5  million  employers  in  the  United  States.  Each  one  of 
them  is  a  controller  of  wage  rates  in  his  operation. 
His  pocketbook  dictates  that  he  resist  any  efl'orts  to 
increase  wages  in  his  plant  above  and  beyond  the 
acceptable  formula. 

On  the  other  hand,  a  few  IRS  agents  are  supposed 
to  control  prices  in  untold  millions  of  sales  outlets. 
That  their  puny  eff^orts  are  ridiculous  is  reflected  by 
the  upward  spiraling  of  prices. 

The  Community  Services  Department  of  the  AFL- 
CIO  has  been  endeavoring  to  monitor  price  increases 
in  food  stores.  Their  findings  are  solid  testimony  that 
the  efforts  of  the  Price  Board  to  control  prices  are  a 
complete  failure.  For  example; 


The  Community  Services  Committee  study  found 
peanut  butter  increasing  21%  in  a  Denver  Safeway 
Store  between  January  17  and  March  16.  In  Hono- 
lulu, in  a  chain  store,  Gerber's  baby  food  increased  by 
75%  between  January  5  and  March  9.  In  Indianap- 
olis, Indiana,  Pet  Evaporated  Milk  increased  27% 
between  February  3  and  March  13.  In  a  food  store 
in  Grand  Rapids,  Michigan,  Crisco  cooking  oil  in- 
creased 10%  in  a  35-day  period,  between  January 
and  March. 

These  are  only  a  few  out  of  hundreds  upon  hundreds 
of  examples  which  the  Community  Services  Depart- 
ment has  authenticated  by  actual  shopping. 

This  gives  some  indication  of  the  reason  why  the 
labor  members  of  the  Pay  Board  decided  to  take  a 
walk. 

The  Pay  Board  members  did  not  resign  arbitrarily. 
Rather,  the  whole  situation  was  discussed  at  a  meet- 
ing of  the  AFL-CIO  Executive  Council  on  March  22. 
After  careful  consideration,  the  meeting  determined: 
"The  Board  is  not  tripartite.  It  is  not  independent 
and  autonomous.  The  Pay  Board  represents  govern- 
ment control.  It  represents  political  and  business 
interests.  If  the  wage  stabilization  program  is  to  be 
government-controlled,  let  it  be  so,  openly  and  clearly. 
Let  the  people  who  are  exercising  the  power  take  the 
full  responsibility  for  their  decisions — without  the 
facade  of  labor  representation  and  the  pretense  of 
tripartitism. 

"We  will  not  be  a  part  of  a  window  dressing  for 
this  system  of  unfair  and  inequitable  government  con- 
trol of  wages  for  the  benefit  of  business  profits." 

In  a  situation  where  wages  are  controlled  but  prices 
are  not,  the  inevitable  result  must  be  spiraling  profits 
for  corporations  and  unemployment  for  workers  who 
do  not  have  the  necessary  purchasing  power  to  buy 
back  the  goods  they  produce.  The  result  inevitably 
must  be  more  unemployment,  more  misery  for  work- 
ing people,  and  eventual  depression  for  the  nation.   ■

THE   COVER 

The  famed  rockbound  coast  of 
Maine  is  haven  for  millions  of  tour- 
ists each  summer.  The  Pine  Tree  State 
estimates  that  tourism  brings  $540- 
million  each  year  to  its  private  and 
public  cotfers. 

One  popular  attraction  is  Acadia 
National  Park  and  its  picturesque 
Bass  Harbor  Light,  shown  on  our 
June  cover.  Established  in  1919  as 
Lafayette  National  Park,  with  head- 
quarters at  Bar  Harbor,  Acadia  Na- 
tional Park  is  the  only  national  park 
in  New  England  and  the  oldest  east 
of  the  Mississippi  River.  The  National 
Park  Service  reports  that  there  were 
2,867,000  visits  to  Acadia  National 
Park  last  year  and  that  by  1980  the 
annual  number  of  visits  there  should 
reach  almost  4,000,000. 

Other  attractions  help  to  make 
Maine  a  summer  vacationland.  Its 
beaches,  lakes,  mountains  and  resorts 
are  exciting  havens  for  outdoor  rec- 
reation. With  more  than  80%  of  its 
land  area  covered  by  forests,  the  state 
is  popular  with  campers,  white-water 
canoeists,  and  other  outdoorsmen.

Memorable  Testimonial  Dinner 

in  Washington,  D.C. 


■   Maurice  Hutcheson,  who  retired  March  1  as  General  President

AN  ADDRESS  BY  GENERAL  PRESIDENT  WILLIAM  SIDELL  AT  THE  M.  A.  HUTCHESON  TESTIMONIAL  DINNER 


■  My  tenure  as  General  President 
goes  back  to  all  of  seven  weeks,  not 
a  vei-y  impressive  statistic  from  the 
viewpoint  of  tenure.  However,  I  am 
confident  that  if  I  remain  in  office  for 
fifty  years,  I  will  never  receive  an- 
other assignment  that  will  give  me 
more  personal  pride  or  pleasure  than 
this  one. 

Tonight  we  are  honoring  one  of  the 
most  outstanding  labor  leaders  of  all 
time.  His  contributions  run  like  a 
thread  of  gold  through  more  than  a 
half  century  of  the  United  Brother- 
hood of  Carpenters  and  Joiners  of 
America's  history. 

The  United  Brotherhood  will  he  cel- 
ebrating its  91st  anniversary  come 
August  12th.  For  more  than  two- 
thirds  of  that  time  we  have  been  priv- 
ileged to  have  a  Hutcheson  at  our 
helm— William  L.  from  1915  to  1952 
and  Maurice  A.  from  1952  to  1972 — a 
glorious  twenty  years. 

Together  these  two  great  General 
Presidents  built  a  strong  and  enduring 
foundation  for  our  Brotherhood  to 
meet  the  hazards  that  lie  ahead. 
Through  wars,  booms  and  busts,  they 
kept   the    United    Brotherhood    on    an 


even  keel.  The  challenges  and  ob- 
stacles were  great  .  .  .  financial  crises, 
anti-labor  drives,  and  secessionists' 
movements.  Being  able  and  dedicated 
leaders,  they  charted  a  straight  and 
true  course  through  those  rough  and 
troubled  waters.  Bringing  order  from 
chaos,  greatness  from  despair.  A  task 
that  would  have  been  insurmountable 
for  ordinary  men. 

To  have  worked  with  our  guest  of 
honor  is  a  privilege  I  shall  never  for- 
get and  will  cherish  all  of  my  life.  I 
have  never  known  a  man  more  adept 
at  piercing  the  shell  of  rhetoric  to 
arrive  at  the  kernel  of  fact  or  truth. 
I  have  never  known  a  man  more  im- 
mune to  flatter.v,  apple  polishing  or 
personal  image  building.  I  have  never 
known  a  man  more  dedicated  to  ad- 
vancing the  common  good.  I  have 
never  known  a  man  more  deeply  com- 
mitted to  love  of  country,  the  princi- 
ples of  democracy  or  the  free  enter- 
prise system. 

I  have  never  known  a  man  more 
compassionate  and  understanding  to 
the  needs  of  the  poor,  the  neglected 
and  the  dispossessed.  I  have  never 
known  a  man  of  broader  vision,  higher 


ethics  or  more  humane  instincts  than 
Maurice  A.  Hutcheson  .  .  . 

Knowing  Maurice  Hutcheson  as  I 
do,  and  as  most  of  you  do,  it  would 
only  embarrass  him  to  cite  his  specific 
accomplishments  or  dwell  upon  his 
total  dedication  to  the  United  Brother- 
hood and  its  ideals. 

It  is  said  that  in  order  to  get  along 
you  must  make  friends,  and  you  can 
best  make  friends  by  being  honest  in 
.vour  dealings,  sincere  in  your  intent. 
Maurice  A.  Hutcheson  has  legions  of 
friends.  Look  around  you.  This  gather- 
ing, which  I  believe  is  the  largest  in 
United  Brotherhood  history,  surel.v  at- 
tests the  fact  this  has  been  his  credo 
.  .  .  and  .  .  .  this  is  just  the  tip  of  the 
iceberg. 

There  are  literally  thousands  more 
who  are  unable  to  be  here  tonight  but 
they  are,  in  absentia,  no  less  his  fast 
friends.  Our  headquarters  has  been 
overwhelmed  for  weeks  with  good 
wishes  fi'om  Maurice's  friends.  Some 
.fust  say  "thanks."  Others  spill  out 
their  emotions  in  more  eloquent  ways. 
But  always,  it's  the  same,  "thanks  for 
being  our  President,  thanks  for  a  .iob

ROUNDUP 


FAT  EXECUTIVE  PAY — Huge  management  pay  increases  have  reached  the  point  where 
the  Pay  Board  is  beginning  to  scrutinize  them  and  the  Internal  Revenue  Service, 
its  enforcement  agency,  to  study  them. 

IRS  agents,  the  Wall  Street  Journal  says,  "are  testing  Pay  Board  forms 
for  keeping  tabs  on  executive  job  perquisites  as  regular  tax  audits  are 
conducted. " 

Disclosure  has  been  made  that  the  5.5  percent  wage  increase  level  now  being 
strictly  enforced  on  ordinary  pay  increases  has  been  far  exceeded  by  management 
increases — Henry  Ford  II,  for  example,  got  a  37.8  percent  pay  increase  while 
Ford  President  Lee  A.  lacocca  jumped  48.3  percent. 

FEDERAL  INSURANCE — The  House  of  Representatives  approved  a  labor-backed  bill  to 
increase  the  Government's  share  of  the  cost  of  Federal  employees'  health  insurance 
premiums  from  40  to  55  percent. 

AIRPORT  DISASTER  CENTERS — Disaster-planning,  focusing  on  airports  as  the  center  for 
aid  in  local  area  emergencies,  was  discussed  by  a  panel  titled  "D-Day  1972"  at 
the  Air  Line  Pilots  Association  (ALPA)  Air  Safety  Forum,  May  23-25. 

Probed  were  ways  in  which  today's  airports,  with  proper  planning  and 
implementation,  can  play  a  vital  role  in  assisting  adjacent  communities  when 
disaster  strikes. 

"D-Day  1972"  also  included  disaster-planning  for  aircraft  accidents  that 
might  occur  on  or  near  airports.  With  the  advent  of  the  wide-bodied  jets,  the  need 
for  better  accident  precautions  at  airports  becomes  particularly  critical. 

FORCED-WORK  SCHEME — The  AFL-CIO  Executive  Council  has  issued  a  stinging 
criticism  of  "a  starvation-pay  forced-work  scheme"  adopted  by  the  Senate  Finance 
Committee  to  replace  the  present  public-assistance  program.  It  also  had  sharp 
criticism  on  the  first  anniversary  of  the  Occupational  Safety  and  Health  Act, 
which  has  been  roundly  criticized  by  many  labor  unions. 

On  welfare  reform,  the  Council  completely  rejected  "the  Neanderthal  approach" 
of  the  Senate  Finance  Committee,  saying  that  it  "would  force  adults,  mostly 
mothers  with  children  over  the  age  of  six,  to  accept  jobs  offered  by  private 
employers  paying  as  low  as  $1.20  an  hour  or  to  work  in  publicly-financed  make- 
work  projects  at  an  abysmally  low  wage." 

In  another  statement,  the  Council  said  OSHA's  first  anniversary  "was  an 
occasion  for  bitter  disappointment,"  and  accused  the  Nixon  Administration  of 
feeding  it  a  starvation  budget  "to  soften  the  impact  of  its  enforcement  provisions 
on  business." 

WHEN  WILL  PHASE  II  END? — There  is  speculation  in  Washington  that  President  Nixon 
might  end  Phase  II  of  his  controversial  inflation-control  program  prior  to  the 
November  election  and  then  institute  a  Phase  III  if  he's  re-elected. 

The  speculation  followed  an  Associated  Press  report  that  quoted  Robert  P. 
Tiernan,  executive  director  of  the  Pay  Board,  as  telling  a  Teamsters'  meeting  in 
San  Diego  that  he  expects  that  "since  it's  an  election  year,  the  Board  will  stop 
operations  by  December." 

Tiernan  went  on  to  say  "it  would  be  a  pretty  smart  thing  to  drop  it  with  the 
elections  coming  up."  At  the  same  time,  he  speculated  that  a  third  phase  of 
controls  would  be  likely  at  a  later  date.  A  spokesman  for  the  Board  later  said 
Tiernan  had  been  misquoted. 

Later,  at  a  press  conference.  Chairman  Herbert  Stein  of  the  Council  of 
Economic  Advisers  was  asked  about  the  possibility  of  an  end  to  Phase  II.  He  said 
it  is  "very  unlikely"  that  it  will  end  before  the , end  of  1972  but  hedged  that  he 
couldn't  "make  you  any  promises"  on  this. 


10  THE  CARPENTER 


General  President  Sidell  to  AFL-CIO  Executive  Council 


General  President  William  Sidell 
was  elected  to  the  AFL-CIO  Execu- 
tive Council,  May  2,  filling  the  va- 
cancy left  by  the  resignation  of 
General  President  Emeritus  M.  A. 
Hutcheson. 

He  joined  the  council  as  a  new 
AFL-CIO  vice  president  at  the 
same  time  as  Martin  J.  Ward,  presi- 
dent of  the  Plumbers  and  Pipe  Fit- 
ters, who  succeeded  Peter  T.  Schoe- 
mann,  president  emeritus  of  that 
international  union. 

General  President  Sidell  became 
president  of  the  Brotherhood  in 
March,  and  subsequently  was  elected 
to  the  council  of  the  AFL-CIO 
Building  and  Construction  Trades 
Department  and  to  other  represen- 
tative positions  in  national  labor 
federations.  His  election  to  the 
AFL-CIO's  main  governing  body 
gives  the  Brotherhood  full  represen- 
tation in  national  and  international 
councils. 

President  Sidell's  first  meeting 
with  the  AFL-CIO  Executive  Coun- 
cil in  Washington  was  a  busy  one. 
The  council  heard  reports  on  many 
key  domestic  and  foreign  issues. 
Among  the  actions  taken  by  the 
council  were  the  following: 

•  It  called  the  Nixon  Administration's 
Congressional  bill  to  impose  compulsory 
arbitration  in  transportation  disputes  a 
"totalitarian"  action.

session  at  May  2  meeting.  At  left,  General  President  Sidell;  at  right,  Plumbers  and 
Pipe  Fitters  President  Martin  J.  Ward. 


•  It  called  for  implementation  of  the 
Occupational  Safety  and  Health  Act 
which  is  still  lacking  adequate  funds. 

O  It  endorsed  legislation  to  permit 
unions  to  establish  group  legal  service 
plans  through  collective  bargaining  by 
allowing  the  establishment  of  joint  labor- 
management  trust  funds. 

•  It  revised  the  structure  of  the  AFL- 
CIO  Committee  on  Political  Education 
to  bring  it  in  line  with  the  new  federal 
laws  on  campaign  expenditures  and  re- 
porting and  to  allow  contributors  to 
COPE  to  take  advantage  of  new  tax  laws 
on  political  contributions. 

•  It  set  up  a  council  subcommittee 
to  work  with  the  Advisory  Committee  to 
the  Dept.  of  State  and  Local  Central 
Bodies  to  develop  a  program  for  increas- 


ing   local    union    affiliations    with    local 
bodies. 

•  It  amended  the  rules  governing  state 
and  local  central  bodies  to  prohibit  paid 
political  advertising  in  their  publications 
and  end  their  ties  with  advertising  boards, 
year-books  and  directories  that  accept 
commercial  advertising. 

•  It  adopted  a  resolution  referred  to 
it  by  the  convention  calling  for  prison 
reform  keyed  to  programs  dealing  with 
the  real  needs  of  the  inmates  and  helping 
prepare  them  for  productive  lives. 

•  It  called  on  Congress  to  improve 
educational  benefits  for  Vietnam  vet- 
erans, provide  more  jobs  programs  for 
those  not  going  to  school  and  improve 
hospitalization  and  rehabilitation  facili- 
ties for  those  wounded  or  injured. 


First  Pension  Check  For  President  Emeritus  Hutcheson 


President  Emeritus  M.  A.  Hutch- 
eson recently  received  his  first 
monthly  check  from  the  General 
Officers  and  Representatives  Pen- 
sion Fund. 

Although  the  31st  General  Con- 
vention ofl'ered  the  retiring  president 
full  salary  to  continue  as  president 
emeritus  and  as  an  ex  officio  mem- 
ber of  the  General  Executive  Board, 
he  declined  the  offer,  stating  at  the 
time:  "I  am  only  accepting  the  reg- 
ular pension  which  I  have  earned  in 
the  same  manner  and  under  the 
same  terms  as  all  other  retired  offi- 
cers and  representatives."

Bank,  administrators  of  the  fund. 


JUNE,    1972 


11 


U.S.  I^ahar  Tells  the  PalitictBl  Parties... 

THESE  ARE 


On  May  12  the  AFL-CIO  distributed  to  all  of  its 
affiliates  and  to  the  press  its  platform  proposals  to  the 
1972  Democratic  and  Republican  Party  National  Con- 
ventions. 

The  presentation  contains  organized  labor's  policy 
views  on  major  issues  facing  the  United  States. 

These  are  only  excerpts  and  highlights  in  four  cate- 
gories— housing,  occupational  health  and  safety,  inter- 
national trades,  the  national  economy  and  health.  We 
e.xpect  to  supply  information  regarding  other  proposals 
in  a  later  issue  of  The  CARPENTER. 


HOUSING 


■  The  concept  of  decent  housing  for  all  Americans 
in  viable  neighborhoods  and  at  prices  they  can  afford 
is  no  nearer  today  than  in  1949  when  the  first  major 
housing  program  was  passed. 

Housing — particularly  low  income  housing — con- 
tinues to  be  the  victim  of  fiscal  and  monetary  policy. 
Basic  shelter  needs  remain  unmet. 

While  the  Administration  talks  about  labor  costs, 
it  says  nothing  about  the  more  significant  land  and 
money  costs  which  continue  to  soar.  A  recent  FHA 
estimate  of  average  land  market  prices  for  FHA- 
insured  one  family  home  sites  indicated  that  prices  had 
increased  lOI.l  percent  from  1960  to  1970. 

The  ability  of  homeowners,  particularly  the  low 
income  minority  family,  to  obtain  financing  at  afl'ord- 
able  interest  rates  has  not  improved  markedly  and 
future  projections  are  pessimistic. 

Efforts  to  revitalize  the  central  cities  fail  repeatedly 
because  the  total  neighborhood  is  rarely  given  adequate 
attention,  preventing  even  new  housing  efforts  from 
creating  "communities." 

Housing  production  is  increasingly  impeded  by  the 
failure  and/ or  financial  inability  of  states  and  local 
government  to  provide  adequate  supportive  facilities. 
Housing  moratoriums  are  becoming  a  common  phe- 
nomenon as  a  result  of  inadequate  sewage  treatment 
facilities.  Poor  transportation  facilities  and  over- 
crowded schools  have  further  complicated  site  deci- 
sions for  new  housing.  The  failure  to  match  employ- 
ment opportunities  with  housing  availabilities  is  crit- 
ical. 

A  much  greater  commitment  to  policies  employing 
both  public  and  private  efforts  is  required  if  America 
is  to  meet  its  housing  needs  for  all  income  levels 
throughout  the  nation.  There  must  be  a  compre- 
hensive housing  program  in  which,  at  least,  the  fol- 
lowing factors  are  dealt  with: 

1.  A  basic  prerequisite  is  low  interest  rates  for 
home  building  and  home  purchasing. 

2.  Congress  should  direct  the  Federal  Reserve  Sys- 
tem to  allocate  a  significant  portion  of  available  bank 


credit,  at  reasonable  interest,  to  encourage  the  con- 
struction of  housing  and  other  socially  desirable 
construction  over  the  building  of  such  structures  as 
luxury  homes,  gambling  casinos,  etc. 

3.  Low  income  housing  programs  must  be  so  ad- 
ministered as  to  avoid  deterioration  of  projects  and 
give  occupants  a  real  sense  of  participation. 

4.  A  national  land  use  policy  should  be  pursued 
that  will  make  land  available  at  reasonable  costs. 

5.  An  urban  development  bank  should  be  estab- 
lished to  assist  in  financing  community  facilities  by 
state  and  local  governments  such  as  parks,  schools, 
recreational  centers,  day  care  centers,  etc. 

6.  There  should  be  complete  dedication  to  the  im- 
plementation of  the  full  spirit  of  the  fair  housing  laws. 
Until  we  have  fair  housing  in  fact  and  not  just  on 
the  statute  books,  America  will  never  solve  its  housing 
problems. 

7.  State  and  metropolitan  housing  authorities  should 
be  established  with  the  responsibility  for  planning 
and  implementing  programs  responsive  to  regional 
housing  and  community  needs.  ■ 

NATIONAL  ECONOMY 

■  The  chaotic  state  of  the  national  economy  poses 
serious  problems  for  today  and  for  the  future. 

The  Administration  taking  office  in  January  must 
initiate  decisive  action  to  counter  the  cumulative  im- 
pact of  economic  policies  which  threaten  the  intrinsic 
fibre  of  the  nation,  warp  the  economy  and  divide  the 
people. 

The  incumbent  Administration  has  relegated  work- 
ers, middle  income  citizens  and  consumers  to  second- 
class  economic  status.  Its  policies  have  provided  lush 
dividends  to  the  corporate  community,  banks  and 
wealthy  individuals  and  families. 

These  policies  have  fueled  the  alarming  trend  toward 
a  massive  and  unhealthy  redistribution  of  income — 
making  the  rich  richer  and  the  poor  poorer.  The  middle 
income  groups  are  in  a  major  economic  bind. 

Since  this  Administration  took  office  on  January 
20,  1969,  it  has  operated  on  the  single-minded  and 
misguided  belief  that  the  only  economic  problem  in 
America  was  inflation.  It  has  not  solved  the  problem 
of  inflation  but  it  has  created  major  new  problems 
in  the  economy,  including: 

•  Continuing  high  unemployment. 

•  The  first  increase  in  the  number  of  people  below 
the  government-defined  poverty  line  in  a  decade. 

•  The  highest  interest  rates  in  a  century. 

•  A  massive  rise  in  the  number  of  welfare  recipi- 
ents. 

•  A  drastic  slowdown  in  the  war  against  poverty, 
in  the  campaigns  to  end  urban  decay  and  to  improve

THE    CARPENTER 


THE  ISSUES  IN  1972 


America's  educational  opportunities  and  meet  social 
welfare  needs. 

•  Persistent  industrial  slack,  with  industry  operating 
at  only  75%  of  productive  capacity. 

•  Record  balance-of-payment  deficits. 

•  First  balance-of-trade  deficit  in  this  century. 

•  Record  peacetime  federal  budget  deficits  .  .  .To 
create  jobs  and  turn  the  economy  around,  we  urge: 

1.  An  expanded  and  strengthened  public-service 
employment  program — federal  grants  to  the  states, 
local  governments  and  federal  agencies  for  the  creation 
of  jobs  to  provide  needed  public  services. 

A  special  program  of  federal  financial  aid  is  required 
to  step-up  job-creating,  short-term  public  works  con- 
struction and  repairs  in  areas  of  high  unemployment. 

2.  Justice  in  the  federal  tax  structure  and  additional 
tax  revenues  can  be  achieved  by  eliminating  the  major 
loopholes  of  special  tax  privilege  for  corporations  and 
wealthy  famihes. 

3.  Congress  should  direct  the  Federal  Reserve  Sys- 


tem to  allocate  a  significant  portion  of  available  bank 
credit,  at  reasonable  interest  rates,  to  effectuate  the 
construction  of  housing  and  community  facilities. 

A  Congressional  review  of  the  entire  Federal  Reserve 
System  and  the  nation's  monetary  policy  is  long  over- 
due. America's  central  bank  must  be  brought  fully 
into  the  federal  government  structure  and  be  made 
more  representative  of  the  major  groups  of  the  econ- 
omy, including  workers  and  consumers. 

4.  Congress  must  increase  the  federal  minimum 
wage  to  S2.50  an  hour  and  extend  the  coverage  of 
the  Fair  Labor  Standards  Act  to  millions  of  low-wage 
workers  who  are  still  outside  of  the  law's  protection. 
Early  action  along  these  lines  would  improve  the  living 
standards  of  the  working  poor  and  provide  the  econ- 
omy with  high-velocity  buying  power  that  will  be 
quickly  spent. 

5.  Increases  in  the  buying  power  of  workers'  wages 
and  salaries  are  a  basic  prerequisite  for  economic 
growth — to  provide  workers  with  a  share  in  the  bene- 
fits of  economic  progress  and  to  establish  the  founda-

tion  of  the  needed  expansion  of  consumer  markets. 
Rapid  economic  growth  will  not  be  possible  without 
a  substantial  boost  of  consumer  sales,  which  account 
for  almost  two-thirds  of  national  output.  The  needed 
rise  of  consumer  expenditures  completely  depends  on 
increases  in  the  real  incomes  of  workers. 

6.  Eliminate  the  inequities  that  abound  in  the  sta- 
bilization program  and  are  undermining  public  con- 
fidence in  the  government's  ability  to  manage  the 
national  economy  on  a  fair  and  equitable  basis. 

7.  Congress  should  adopt  the  Burke-Hartke  bill 
to  stop  the  export  of  American  jobs  and  to  repatriate 
the  profits  of  American  subsidiaries  abroad.  ■ 

INTERNATIONAL  TRADE 
AND  INVESTMENT 

■  This  nation's  most  disastrous  year  in  world  trade 
was  1971. 

For  the  first  time  in  79  years,  the  U.S.  had  an 
officially  reported  trade  deficit — $2  billion.  The  deficit 
for  the  first  quarter  of  1972  was  $1.5  billion  or  at  an 
annual  rate  of  $6  billion. 

Behind  these  grim  statistics  lies  the  deterioration 
of  this  nation's  position  in  world  economic  relationships 
and  the  erosion  of  America's  economic  well-being 
through  the  export  of  technology,  capital,  productive 
capacity  and  jobs. 

International  trade  relationships  have  undergone 
fundamental  changes  in  the  years  since  the  end  of 
World  War  11.  These  changes  have  acelerated  in  the 
last  decade  and  this  nation  must  face  up  to  this  changed 
picture: 

•  Other  nations  have  managed  economics  which 
provide  direct  and  indirect  subsidies  for  exports  as 
well  as  direct  and  indirect  barriers  to  imports. 

•  American  technology  has  been  rapidly  exported 
through  the  shifting  of  American  industrial  plants  to 
other  countries  spurred  by  foreign  subsidies  of  Ameri- 
can companies  as  well  as  licensing  and  patent  arrange- 
ments with  foreign  firms. 

•  Vast  amounts  of  American  capital  have  been  ex- 
ported since  the  late  1950's. 

•  Multinational  corporations,  that  know  no  national 
loyalties,  have  been  mushrooming  in  the  past  dozen 
years. 

•  Powerful  new  trading  blocs  have  developed  in 
places  like  the  Common  Market. 

•  The  composition  of  these  imports  has  sharply 
changed  from  raw  materials  to  finished  products  and 
components. 

No  longer  do  the  old  cliches  of  the  past — "free 
trade"  and  "protectionism" — apply  to  the  world  trade 
picture.  This  nation  must  deal  with  the  new  realities 
with  new  remedies. 

Today  the  U.S.  worker  is  virtually  helpless  in  pro- 


tecting his  job  and  his  standard  of  living.  U.S.  markets 
have  been  overrun  with  imports  costing  tens  of  thou- 
sands of  U.S.  jobs  in  such  industries  as  textiles,  apparel, 
office  machinery,  shoes  and  electronics  .  .  .  Clear  leg- 
islative direction  is  necessary  to  give  the  President 
authority  to  regulate,  supervise  and  curb  the  outflow 
of  U.S.  capital.  At  the  present  time,  controls  on  for- 
eign investment  are  loose,  inadequate  and  not  related 
to  trade  and  production. 

Authority  within  the  President's  hands  should  in- 
clude consideration  for  the  kind  of  investment  that 
would  be  made  abroad,  the  product  involved,  the 
country  where  the  investment  would  be  made,  the 
linkage  of  the  investment  to  the  flow  of  trade  and  its 
effect  on  U.S.  employment  and  the  national  economy. 

The  President  should  be  granted  clear  authority 
to  regulate,  supervise  and  curb  licensing  and  patent 
agreements  on  the  basis  of  Congressionally  determined 
standards.  All  of  these  presidential  determinations 
should  be  on  the  basis  of  the  impact  of  the  U.S., 
particularly  the  impact  on  employment. 

A  "sliding  door"  concept  on  quotas  should  be  ap- 
plied to  products  and  parts  of  products  imported  into 
the  United  States,  allowing  for  a  flexible  growth  factor 
related  to  U.S.  production  of  each  item.  Only  by 
nourishing  America's  economic  base  can  this  country 
prevent  it  from  being  overrun  and  smothered. 

Exceptions  should  be  permitted,  where  a  voluntary 
government  agreement  exists  or  is  negotiated  or  where 
a  failure  to  import  the  item  would  disrupt  U.S.  pro- 
duction and/or  markets. 

A  single  agency  should  be  established  with  quasi- 
independent  authority  to  serve  the  Congress  in  all 
matters  afl'ecting  trade  and  international  investment. 

U.S.  negotiators  should  press  for  international  fair 
labor  standards  in  international  trade  agreements.  ■ 

OCCUPATIONAL  SArETY 
AND  HEALTH 

■  At  least  14,000  deaths  and  more  than  2.2  million 
casualties  are  reported  on-the-job  each  year. 

Both  the  National  Safety  Council,  which  compiled 
these  statistics,  and  the  Department  of  Labor  acknowl- 
edge that  these  estimates  are  understated.  The  full 
extent  of  on-the-job  casualities  is  really  unknown. 

And  now,  recent  scientific  studies  point  to  a  fright- 
ening relationship  between  a  number  of  occupations 
and  cancer  and  other  diseases  that  reach  beyond  the 
plant  site  and  into  the  community. 

Even  before  the  country  became  fully  aware  of 
the  dimensions  of  the  occupational  disease  problem, 
the  AFL-CIO  worked  hard  for  the  Occupational 
Safety  and  Health  Act  and  hailed  its  passage.  We 
pledged  our  full  cooperation  to  the  federal  agencies 
responsible  for  its  administration  and  programs  de- 
signed to  show  organized  labor's  responsibilities  in 
helping  make  it  work.

THE    CARPENTER 


I 


The  Act  has  been  in  effect  for  more  than  a  year. 
At  the  time  it  was  passed,  the  President  termed  it 
one  of  the  most  important  and  far-reaching  laws  of 
recent  decades.  He  promised  the  highest  priority  to 
its  enforcement  and  effective  administration. 

The  performance  came  nowhere  near  matching  the 
promises.  The  record  of  the  first  year  of  the  Act 
shows  dragging,  flabby  enforcement  and  adulteration 
of  the  specific  provisions  setting  forth  specific  rights 
and  protection  for  employes. 

The  National  Institute  for  Occupational  Safety  and 
Health  is  under  the  Secretary  of  Health,  Education 
and  Welfare.  Its  effective  functioning  is  indispensible 
to  carrying  out  the  intent  of  the  Act  by  NIOSH.  To 
date,  NIOSH  has  shown  a  callous  indifference  to  its 
role.  The  budget  does  not  provide  authorization  for 
training  needed  occupational  health  personnel  as  re- 
quired under  the  Act. 

We  urge  that  $28.3  million  authorized  for  the 
vitally  important  program  of  NIOSH  be  doubled. 
This  will  enable  more  rapid  development  of  criteria 
and  recommended  occupational  health  standards,  ex- 
panded hazards  evaluation,  and  plant  surveillance, 
and  accelerated  training  of  critically  needed  occu- 
pational health  personnel. 

The  Review  Commission,  which  is  responsible  for 
adjudicating  contested  citations  for  violations  of  the 
Act,  is  both  shorthanded,  and  faced  with  a  weekly 
rate  of  new  cases  greater  than  contested  decisions 
by  the  National  Labor  Relations  Board.  This  has 
created  a  bottleneck  to  the  entire  occupational  safety 
and  health  program. 

The  budget  request  of  $1.3  million  for  the  Review 
Commission  is  only  $220,000  over  that  of  the  pre- 
vious year.  That  is  completely  inadequate.  We  urge 
the  Congress  to  increase  it  substantially. 

We  also  urge  the  Congress  to  appropriate  the  nec- 
essary funds  and  provide  for  an  adequate  staff  to 
enforce  the  Railroad  Safety  Act  and  carry  out  the 
intent  of  that  law.  ■ 

NATIONAL  HEALTH 
SECURITY 

■  There  have  been  a  number  of  proposals  made 
to  meet  the  health  care  crisis  but  only  one  faces  up 
to  all  aspects  of  the  problem.  That  is  National  Health 
Security  which  has  bi-partisan  support  and  is  known 
as  the  Kennedy-Griffiths  bill. 

Of  all  the  proposals  offered,  only  National  Health 
Security  provides  for  equal  access  to  health  care  for 
all  people;  comprehensive  coverage,  restructuring  of 
the  health  care  system;  effective  incentives  for  quality 
and  efficiency  or  controls  on  costs  and  elimination  of 
the  middlemen — the  inadequate  private  insurance  car- 
riers. 

More  specifically,  National  Health  Security  incorpo- 
rates the  following  features: 

•   Universal  coverage  as  a  matter  of  right. 


•  Comprehensive  benefits  without  deductibles  or 
co-insurance;  no  arbitrary  cutoff  points  in  dollars  or 
number  of  days  of  coverage.  There  will  be  no  exclu- 
sion of  coverage  for  pre-existing  conditions;  no  limita- 
tions on  physical  examinations  and  other  preventive 
services  and  no  waiting  periods. 

•  Free  choice  of  physician. 

©  Financed  through  Social  Security  approach  with 
matching  contributions  from  federal  revenues. 

®  Provides  for  a  Health  Resources  Development 
Fund  to  be  used  for  health  manpower  education  and 
training,  group  practice  development  and  for  expand- 
ing and  improving  health  services. 

Effective  cost  control.  Only  National  Health  Secu- 
rity provides  health  care  directly  at  the  lowest  cost 
with  no  wastes  of  the  health  dollars  on  private  insur- 
ance carriers  as  middlemen  and  with  prior  budgeting 
to  assure  effective  control  on  all  costs. 

A  number  of  bills  have  been  introduced  into  the 
Congress  which  are  designed  to  provide  protection 
against  catastrophic  costs  associated  with  expensive, 
acute  episodes  of  illness. 

These  bills  do  not  purport  to  establish  a  national  pro- 
gram to  provide  health  services  to  all  or  a  substantial 
proportion  of  the  American  people,  but  are  designed 
to  financially  assist  those  persons  who  incur  high  med- 
ical costs. 

All  such  proposals  have  common  features: 

1.  There  is  a  sizable  deductible  that  must  be  met 
before  any  benefits  are  payable. 

2.  When  benefits  are  payable,  the  beneficiary  must 
pay  a  proportion,  usually  20  percent  of  the  total  bill. 

Catastrophic  insurance  is  a  rich  man's  program. 

A  $1,000  medical  bill  is  not  a  catastrophe  in  the 
home  of  a  corporation  president  making  $50,000  or 
more  a  year.  To  a  $100-a-week  worker  with  a  family 
to  support  a  $1,000  medical  bill  is  a  catastrophe. 

Although  large  numbers  of  people  with  relatively 
low  incomes  would  derive  no  benefit  from  the  pro- 
gram, they  would  be  subject  to  payment  of  the  Social 
Security  tax  on  private  insurance  premiums.  Thus, 
adoption  of  the  program  would  result  in  the  strange 
situation  that  low  income  people  would  be  contributing 
toward  a  program  which  would  largely  benefit  those  at 
higher  incomes.    ■

ANADIA 
'  T^     REPORT 

Ontario,  Quebec  Expected  to  Take  Action 
Against  Safety  Infractions,  Job  Hazards 


Governments  in  Ontario  and  Que- 
bec are  moving  to  tighten  up  and  im- 
prove safety  regulations  in  the  con- 
struction  industry. 

Accidents  in  construction  have  been 
continuing  at  a  high  rate  while  fatali- 
ties are  among  the  highest  in  any 
industry. 

Accidents  in  Ontario  showed  an  im- 
provement last  year  over  the  year 
before,  but  time  lost  per  accident  has 
remained  fairly  constant. 

The  average  length  of  time  a  con- 
struction worker  is  off  work  because 
of  an  accident  is  about  30  days. 

It  is  expected  by  the  industry  that 
Ontario  will  double  the  fines  for  in- 
fractions of  safety  regulations  on  con- 
struction job  sites  before  long. 

The  province  is  taking  over  the  job 
of  safety  inspection  from  the  munici- 
palities. In  the  process  it  may  reduce 
the    number    of    fulltime    inspectors, 


rely  on  more  spot  checks  and  heavier 
fines  to  reduce  the  accident  rate. 

The  Construction  Safety  Association 
believes  that  the  new  procedure  will 
put  a  bigger  burden  and  responsibility 
on  them  to  make  sure  the  industry 
does  a  better  job  in  adhering  to  strict 
safety  measures. 

The  province  of  Quebec  has  en- 
trusted a  great  deal  of  responsibility 
for  policing  its  safety  regulations  to  its 
Construction  Industry  Commission. 

The  Commission  is  a  labor-manage- 
ment body  set  up  to  sup)ervise  legisla- 
tion which  regulates  wages  and  work- 
ing conditions. 

The  same  inspectors  now  function- 
ing under  CIC  will  have  responsibility 
for  safety  standards.  There  are  at 
present  126  CIC  inspectors  at  work. 
Up  until  now  only  15  inspectors  in 
the  labor  department  dealt  with  safety 
in  this  big  province.

Steering  Committee 
May  Guide  Bargaining 

In  Ontario,  too,  the  new  minister 
of  labor,  Fernand  Guindon,  is  planning 
to  establish  a  three-way  steering  com- 
mittee to  guide  him  when  major  nego- 
tiations in  the  building  industry  in  this 
province  take  place  next  year. 

This  committee  will  be  made  up  of 
labor,  management  and  government 
personnel  for  the  purpose,  said  the  la- 
bor minister,  "of  re-examining  prob- 
lems in  the  industry  and  of  working 
toward  a  definite  program  of  settle- 
ments, not  only  during  the  periods  of 
crisis  but  on  a  continuing  year-round 
basis." 

Mr.  Guindon  seems  to  be  taking  the 
hint  from  the  federal  department  of 
labor  which  made  effective  use  of  a 
system  of  preventive  mediation  in  rail- 
way negotiations  two  years  ago  and 
in  a  longshoremen's  contract  settle- 
ment this  year. 

The  federal  department  maintains 
fulltime  staff  experts  who  become  in- 
volved in  contract-to-contract  negotia- 
tions, some  of  them  experienced  trade 
unionists. 

The  Ontario  department  intends,  if 
the  minister's  words  are  taken  at  face 
value,  to  use  the  tripartite  committee 
to  do  the  job. 

The  Ontario  labor  minister  ex- 
pressed his  confidence  in  the  present 
system  of  collective  bargaining  and  he 
is  hoping  that  his  new  committee  "will 
make  the  institution  of  free  collective 
bargaining  function  more  effectively 
with  the  least  amount  of  friction." 

MP  Urges  Changes 
In  New  Labor  Code 

Members  of  parliament  have  been 
debating  the  new  Canada  Labor  Code 
at  length. 

Some  are  attacking  the  legislation 
and  the  trade  union  movement  in  the 
process.  The  resort  to  strikes  in  indus- 
trial disputes,  and  this  year  in  the  pub- 
lic service  in  particular,  came  under 
particular  attack  as  usual  from  the 
more  conservative  members. 

A  minority  of  MPs  defended  the 
trade  union  movement  and  free  col- 
lective bargaining.  One  of  the  best 
speeches  was  made  by  Max  Saltsman, 
M.P.  for  Waterloo.  Ontario,  who  was 
a  trade  unionist,  then  a  university  stu- 
dent, then  a  businessman  and  success- 
ful civic  politician,  and  is  now  an 
NDP  member  of  parliament  and  finan- 
cial critic  for  the  party.

THE    CARPENTER 


17th  is  being  reprinted  by  the  Ontario 
Federation  of  Labor  and  is  available 
without  charge  on  request. 

Among  many  other  things,  Mr. 
Saltsman  said  that  the  best  way  to 
avoid  industrial  strife  would  be  to 
incorporate  a  clause  in  the  new  labor 
code  which  would  give  the  worker  a 
voice  in  technological  change. 

"If  you  bring  the  workingman  into 
the  picture  when  you  consider  making 
technological  changes,  there  will  be  a 
great  deal  more  labor  peace  in  the 
country  than  there  has  been  in  the 
past." 

The  new  labor  code  makes  a  move 
in  this  direction.  It  would  permit  un- 
ions to  call  for  negotiations  with  man- 
agement during  the  life  of  a  contract 
if  management  announces  technologi- 
cal changes  that  endanger  jobs. 

But  it  would  apply  to  future  con- 
tracts only  and  not  to  those  already 
signed.  Unions  want  the  bill  strength- 
ened. 

Many  Unemployed 
May  Be  Uncounted 

Even  though  Canada's  unemploy- 
ment figures  are  very  high  compared 
with  other  industrialized  nations,  the 
government  is  still  underestimating  the 
true  situation. 

This  is  the  view  of  Executive  Vice- 
President  Joe  Morris,  Canadian  Labor 
Congress,  who  charged  that  the  gov- 
ernment's figures  are  inaccurate. 

Why?  Because  they  do  not  include 
people  in  manpower  training  programs 
and  in  temporary  subsidized  projects, 
people  who  need  work  but  have  with- 
drawn from  the  work  force  through 
discouragement,  older  people  who 
can't  find  jobs,  students  who  stay  in 
school  because  they  can't  find  jobs  and 
so  on. 

Building  Tradesmen 
Locked  Out  in  BC 

The  construction  industry  in  British 
Columbia  has  locked  out  50,000  build- 
ing trades  workers  represented  by  18 
unions. 

About  800  contractors  in  the  indus- 
try are  in  the  Construction  Labor  Rela- 
tions Association  which  stage-managed 
the  lockout,  after  offering  the  unions 
a  6.35%  wage  increase  and  some 
fringe  benefits. 

The  union  spokesmen  in  the  B.C. 
and  Yukon  Building  Trades  Council 
said  such  an  increase  is  wholly  inade- 
quate.  While  the  hourly  rates  in  B.C. 


may  look  good,  the  fact  is  that  the  av- 
erage union  member  works  about  eight 
months  a  year  and  is  lucky  if  he  makes 
$8,000  to  $9,000  annually. 

Public  Service  Workers 
Still  Denied  Rights 

Speaking  to  the  59th  convention  of 
the  Ontario  Provincial  Council  of  Car- 
penters, David  B.  Archer,  President, 
Ontario  Federation  of  Labor,  said  that 
strikes  in  the  public  service  this  year 
have  re-opened  the  demand  from  some 
quarters  for  compulsory  arbitration. 

The  OFL  spokesman  has  been 
pointing  out  that  not  many  public  serv- 
ice unions  have  the  right  to  strike. 
Too  many  of  them  already  are  bound 
by  compulsory  arbitration  clauses  or 
are  simply  denied  the  right  to  strike. 

In  Ontario  unionized  hospital  work- 
ers may  not  strike  and  are  bound  to 
compulsory  arbitration  when  negotia- 
tions fail.  The  Ontario  hospital  board 
indirectly  sets  limits  on  wage  increases 
so  that  sometimes  the  results  of  arbi- 
tration are  a  foregone  conclusion. 

Up  until  recently  Ontario  civil  serv- 
ants were  not  allowed  to  join  a  union 
of  their  choice.  They  were  bound  to 
the  Ontario  Civil  Servants  Association 
which,  if  not  exactly  a  tool  of  the  gov- 
ernment, was  close  to  it. 

But  suddenly,  early  in  May,  the 
provincial  government  introduced  new 
legislation  which  will  allow  the  prov- 
ince's 53-,000  civil  servants  to  select 
a  union  of  their  own  choice. 

The  legislation  has  strings  attached. 
The  union  of  their  choice  may  not 
strike  and  when  contract  negotiations 


reach  deadlock,  compulsory  arbitra- 
tion will  come  into  effect  under  an 
Ontario  Public  Service  Labor  Relations 
Tribunal. 

This  is  the  system  used  in  the  federal 
civil  service  except  that  federally  the 
union  may  make  a  choice  between  the 
right  to  strike  on  the  one  hand  and 
compulsory  arbitration  on  the  other. 
Most  have  opted  for  the  latter. 

The  civil  service  union  will  be  able 
to  bargain  for  wages,  hours  of  work, 
overtime,  fringe  benefits,  grievance 
procedure,  promotion,  demotion  and 
layoffs,  but  will  be  denied  the  right  to 
bargain  on  a  long  list  of  items  includ- 
ing work  methods  and  procedures,  job 
evaluation,  merit  system,  discipline 
and  termination  of  employment. 

As  they  say,  it  is  a  step  in  the  right 
direction  but  .  .  . 

Job  Disabilities 
Get  New  Attention 

The  government  of  Saskatchewan 
has  adopted  new  legislation  to  protect 
the  health  and  safety  of  workers  in 
dangerous  occupations.  Construction 
is  of  course  included. 

NDP  Labor  Minister  Gordon  Sny- 
der said  that,  despite  the  improvement 
in  industrial  health,  some  conditions 
are  actually  getting  worse.  As  exam- 
ples, he  named  chronic  bronchitis,  skin 
diseases  and  mental  disorders. 

In  addition  there  are  a  whole  new 
set  of  ailments  including  neuro-muscu- 
lar  weaknesses  caused  by  vibration, 
deafness  produced  by  noise  of  ma- 
chines and  chemical  poisoning. 

Pneumatic  tools  and  mechanized 
equipment  cut  down  on  injuries,  said 
the  labor  minister,  but  they  cause  an 
increase  in  bone  damage  and  injury  to 
joints  and  muscles. 

The  know-how  to  provide  solutions 
is  available,  he  added.  What  is  needed 
is   the   determination   to   apply   them. 

He  is  setting  up  an  occupational 
health  council  which  will  include  rep- 
resentatives of  labor,  management  and 
agriculture. 

Statistics  For  1971 
Show  Labor  Stability 

In  1971  the  time  lost  due  to  strikes 
in  Canada  amounted  to  2,910,580 
man-days,  or  2/ 10th  of  1  %  of  time 
worked. 

The  time  lost  due  to  unemployment 
was  6.7%  of  total  time  worked. 

Last  year,  too,  95%  of  contract 
negotiations  ended  in  peaceful  settle- 
ments.

THE    CARPENTER 


Jim  Parker  Named 
Organizing  Director 

■  James  A.  "Jim"  Parker  has  been 
named  director  of  organization  of  the 
United  Brotherhood  of  Carpenters 
and  Joiners  of  America.  General 
President  William  Sidell  announced 
the  appointment  effective  May  1,  1972. 

Parker  fills  the  vacancy  created  by 
the  appointment  of  Anthony  "Pete" 
Ochocki  to  the  position  of  Third  Dis- 
trict Executive  Board  Member. 

He  served  as  a  representative  and 
organizer  of  the  Brotherhood  for  25 
years  and  brings  to  this  new  post  con- 
siderable experience  in  the  field  of 
organization. 

Parker  was  born  September  8,  1916, 
in  Clarendon  County,  S.C.,  the  son  of 
B.  Beauregard  and  the  late  Eva  White 
Parker.  He  started  work  at  an  early 
age  following  the  depression  of  1929, 
when  his  father  was  forced  by  eco- 
nomic conditions  to  leave  his  farm  and 
take  employment  in  a  sawmill  at 
$1.50  for  a  10-hour  day.  His  first 
job  was  that  of  a  tadder  in  a  stave  mill 
for  75^  a  day.  Later  he  obtained 
employment  in  a  furniture  manufac- 
turing plant  in  Sumter,  S.C.  and  joined 
UBC  Local  1992  during  the  organiza- 
tion of  employes  of  this  furniture  com- 
pany. Although  organizing  Local  1992 
and  negotiating  the  first  contract  was 
a  difficult  experience,  the  efforts  were 
initially  successful,  resulting  in  an  in- 
crease of  the  minimum  wages  from  10 
to  20^  per  hour.  However,  the  suc- 
cess was  short-lived,  following  a  deter- 
mined effort  by  a  hostile  management 
to  destroy  newly-organized  Local 
1992. 

Subsequently  Jim  tried  selling  in- 
surance and  afterward  entered  the 
craft  of  carpentry.  He  joined  Local 
159  in  Charleston,  S.C.  on  January  21, 
1941.  He  was  elected  recording  secre- 
tary and  served  in  this  office  and  as 
a  member  of  the  examining  commit- 
tee of  his  local  union  until  1945. 
During  this  period  he  also  served  as 
secretary  of  the  Charleston  Central 
Labor  Union.  He  also  served  as  man- 
aging editor  of  The  South  Carolina 
Labor  News  during  1944  and  1945. 

In  November,  1945,  he  was  elected 
financial  secretary  of  Local  159  and 
served  on  a  fulltime  basis  until  early 
1947,  when  he  was  appointed  as  an 
AFL  organizer  on  the  staff  of  the  late 
George  Goode,  Southern  Director  of 
Organization  for  the  American  Fed- 
eration of  Labor.  Jim  was  on  the  AFL 
staff  for  only  a  couple  of  months  when 
he   was    appointed    as    an    organizer- 


JAMES  A.  PARKER 


representative  for  the  Brotherhood  on 
May  12,  1947,  by  General  President 
Emeritus  M.  A.  Hutcheson. 

On  April  1,  1957,  Jim  Parker  was 
transferred  to  Atlanta,  Ga.  as  assistant 
to  the  director  of  the  Southern  States 
Organizing  Office,  the  late  George  L. 
Mitchell.  Following  the  death  of 
Mitchell  in  1961,  he  was  appointed 
regional  director  of  the  Brotherhood's 
Southern  States  Organizing  Office, 
where  he  served  until  his  appointment 
as  Director  of  Organization. 

Jim  Parker  attended  public  schools, 
in  Manning  and  Sumter,  S.C.  He  com- 
pleted an  extension  course  in  person- 
nel management  at  the  Citadel,  a  mili- 
tary college  in  Charleston,  S.C.  and 
during  the  late  30's  and  early  40"s  took 
several  courses  including  architecture, 
furniture  designing  and  building,  con- 
tracting and  estimating.  In  1960,  fol- 
lowing a  study  of  law,  he  was  awarded 
a  bachelor  of  law  degree  by  the  Black- 
stone  School  of  Law. 

He  is  a  life  member  of  Hammerton 
Masonic  Lodge  No.  332,  N.C.,  S.C.  ■

Memo   to   Apprentices 

In  order  to  rate,  must  you  go  through 
college?  NO.  There  are  many  roads  to 
responsible  citizenship.  Tlie  young  person 
who  feels  that  he  must  go  tlirough  college 
in  order  to  carve  out  a  respectable  future 
for  lu'mself  is  sadly  mistaken.  Our  world 
needs  good  carpenters  and  other  skilled 
craftsmen  quite  as  much  as  it  needs 
doctors,  lawyers  and  other  professionals 
for  whom  college  is  a  requisite. 

Better  to  be  a  top-notch  carpenter  who 
takes  pride  in  his  work  than  a  disillu- 
sioned school  graduate  in  the  wrong  field. 
And  every  morning  I  would  say  LORD 
help  me  to  be  a  neii'  man,  a  man  who 
remembers  my  mistakes  and  learns  from 
them.

LOCAL  UNION  NEWS 


New  York  Member 
To  Child's  Rescue; 
Also  Victim  Himself 

Maurice  Shields,  a  61 -year-old  mem- 
ber of  Local  2155,  New  York  City, 
was  on  his  way  to  a  synagogue  to 
celebrate  a  Jewish  holy  day,  one  year 
ago.  this  month. 

He  came  upon  a  13-year-old  girl 
being  abused  by  a  25-year-old  cah 
driver.  He  told  police  at  the  Coney 
Island  station  house  later  that  he  saw 
Frederick  Parasacco  fondling  and  kiss- 
ing the  girl  despite  her  protests  and 
those  of  her  six-year-old  brother. 

Shields  was  indignant  because  other 
passersby  seemed  to  ignore  the  man's 
action,  and  he  ordered  Parasacco  to 
stop.  The  cabbie  started  walking  away, 
and  Shields  followed  him,  shouting, 
"Why  did  you  bother  the  little  girl?" 

Shields  reported  that  the  cabbie 
turned  on  him  and  swung,  but  missed. 
Shields,  a  slight  man  and  four  inches 
shorter,  retaliated  and  sent  the  cabbie 
sprawling. 

A  police  officer  happened  by  in  a 
squad  car  in  time  to  arrest  Parasacco 
and  take  Shields  to  Coney  Island  Hos- 
pital, where  he  was  treated  for  a 
broken  right  hand.  The  cabbie  was 
booked  on  charges  of  sexual  abuse  on 
a  complaint  of  the  girl's  mother.  He 
was  also  charged  with  assault  on 
Shields. 

As  a  result  of  the  broken  hand. 
Shields  was  out  of  work  for  almost 
seven  weeks  and  he  incurred  approxi- 
mately $400  in  medical  expenses. 

The  State  of  New  York  has  a  Crime 
Victims  Commission  which  compen- 
sates victims  of  assaults,  etc.,  and 
Shields  applied  to  this  commission  for 
restitution  of  the  losses  incurred. 

His  application  was  turned  down 
because  he  was  not  considered  desti- 
tute, Shields  reports. 

Last  month.  Shields  appealed  this 
decision,  and  he  is  now  awaiting  the 
results  of  this  appeal. 

Shields  is  an  active  member  of 
Local  2155  and  serves  as  a  delegate 
to  the  New  York  District  Council  of 
Carpenters.

Wood  Frame  and  Finish  Featured  in  Synagogue 


Nestled  in  the  wooded  hills  of  rural 
Chappaqua,  Westchester  County,  New 
York,  sets  the  newly-completed  Temple 
Beth-El  of  Northern  Westchester. 

The  site,  a  carefully  selected  SVi-acre 
wooded  area,  has  hemlock,  white  oak, 
tulip,  dogwood  and  white  birch  trees, 
which  were  carefully  protected  to  save 
them  from  destruction  during  the  entire 
construction  period.  Diseased  elms  were 
removed  and  burned  to  stop  spread  of 
the  Dutch  elm  disease. 

A  creation  of  Architect  Louis  I.  Kahn 
of  Philadelphia,  Penna.,  the  137'  x  137' 
octagon  structure  was  built  by  Cuzzi 
Bros,  and  Singer  of  nearby  Mount  Ver- 
non, N.Y.  Framed  by  laminated  timbers, 
fabricated  by  Unadilla  Laminated  Prod- 
ucts Inc.  of  Unadilla,  N.Y.,  the  structure 
sets  on  a  foundation  and  first  floor  of 


reinforced  concrete  containing  1,250 
cubic  yards  of  concrete.  All  concrete 
forms  were  made  of  plastic  coated  ply- 
wood, with  all  concrete  surfaces  exposed, 
to  blend  in  with  the  natural  wood  and 
rock  surroundings.  A  25'  x  44'  concrete 
entrance  on  the  west  side  of  the  build- 
ing enhances  the  beauty  of  the  structure. 
The  superstructure,  framed,  in  wood 
studding,  covered  on  both  sides  with 
%-inch  plywood,  has,  on  the  outside, 
over  13,000  square  feet  of  3-inch  flush 
finish,  vertical  redwood  siding.  The  in- 
terior of  the  outside  walls,  insulated,  cov- 
ered with  plywood  and  finished  in  ver- 
tical 8-inch  flush  finished  spruce.  All  in- 
side partitions  are  wood  studded,  ply- 
wood sheathed  and  the  same  8-inch 
spruce  vertical  flush  finish.  A  total  of 
42,000  square  feet  of  spruce  y/as  used 
for  this  purpose. 


All  wood  surfaces,  both  inside  and  out, 
doors,  windows,  siding,  and  roof  plank- 
ing are  finished  in  natural  wood  finish. 

A  40'  X  40'  tower,  extending  50  feet 
from  main  floor  to  peak  of  roof  is  cov- 
ered with  double  tongue  and  grove  plank- 
ing, insulated,  cross-furred,  and  shingled 
with  fire-proofed  red  wood  shingles  ex- 
posed SVi  inches  to  the  weather.  All 
other  pitched  roofs  were  covered  the 
same  way. 

AH  carpentry  work  from  concrete 
forms  to  close-in  was  under  the  super- 
vision of  William  Amato,  a  member  of 
nearby  Local  895,  who  was  recently 
elected  as  business  representative,  replac- 
ing the  late  Frederick  Wagner.  All  other 
mechanics  were  from  the  local  area:  Lo- 
cal 1115,  Pleasantville;  Local  447,  Ossin- 
ing,  and  Local  895,  Tarrytown.

Fellow  Members  Aid  Family  of  Local  1772 
Member  Injured  by  Job  Crane  Accident 


Ladies  Give  a  Hand 


Officers  of  Local  1772, 
Hicksville,  N.Y.  present  a 
check  for  $2500.00.  col- 
lected in  six  weeks,  to 
Thomas  Ryan,  as  his  wife 
and  son  look  on. 

Left  to  right:  Joseph 
Boron;  Jack  Michaels,  chair-

Olsen,  vice  president;  Mrs. 
Ryan;  Glenn  Kerbs,  business 
representative;  Walter  Geb- 
hardt,  president,  and  Ricky 
Ryan. 


On  the  morning  of  September  27,  1971,  shortly  after  the  start  of  work,  there  was 
a  tragic  accident  on  the  job  at  a  Woodbury,  N.Y.  building  site.  A  small  crane 
swinging  a  concrete-pouring  bucket  toppled,  striking  Thomas  Ryan,  a  member  of 
Local  1772,  across  the  lower  torso  and  severing  his  right  leg  below  the  hip.  His 
partner,  Joseph  Carinha  of  Local  516  was  also  hit  by  the  falling  bucket,  killing 
him  instantly. 

First  aid  was  administered  by  men  on  the  job;  a  tourniquet  was  applied  to  the 
mangled  leg,  and  thanks  to  the  quick  response  of  the  Nassau  County  Police,  Brother 
Ryan  was  taken  to  the  Syosset  Hospital  where  emergency  treatment  was  performed, 
saving  his  life.  He  was  so  badly  injured  that  he  was  under  intensive  care  for 
several  weeks. 

At  a  regular  meeting  of  Carpenters  Local  1772,  Hicksville,  N.Y.,  it  was  decided 
to  initiate  a  drive  to  financially  help  Ryan's  family,  wife,  child  and  "another  on  the 
way."  Because  of  the  circumstances,  the  fund  grew  to  over  $500  in  a  matter  of 
days.  At  the  time  of  the  photo  $2500.00  had  been  collected  by  the  Brotherhood 
Committee,  John  Michaels,  Joseph  Boron  and  William  Hydek.  Total  amount  at  the 
time  of  the  raffle  drawing,  Dec.  9,  1971,  was  $4870.00,  a  tribute  to  the  Brotherhood 
committeee,  the  local  union,  and  to  all  who  participated.

THE    CARPENTER 


70th  Anniversary 
At  Roanoke,  Va. 

Local  319,  Roanoke,  Va.,  held  its 
70th  Anniversary  Banquet  at  Hotel 
Roanoke,  August  20,  1971. 

Local  319  was  chartered  by  the 
United  Brotherhood  of  Carpenters  and 
Joiners  of  America,  August  20,  1901, 
and  has  been  in  continuous  existence 
since.  As  near  as  can  be  determined  from 
the  old  records,  there  were  approxi- 
mately 54  members  admitted  between 
August  20,  1901  and  December  20,  1901. 
The  initiation  fee  was  $5;  dues  were  500 
per  month  for  members  admitted  under 
the  age  of  50;  dues  were  300  per  month 
for  members  admitted  after  50  years  of 
age. 

There  is  no  record  of  how  much 
the  wages  were  at  that  time  (J.  R. 
Gusler  said  "as  well  as  he  could  remem- 
ber, a  carpenter  received  $  1  per  day  for 
10  to  12  hours  per  day.")  However,  the 
records  show  that  on  December  20,  1912, 
an  agreement  was  reached  with  a  con- 
tractor for  350  per  hour  and  a  9-hour 
day  with  IVi  time  for  overtime  and 
double  time  for  Sundays  and  legal  holi- 
days. 

As  near  as  can  be  determined.  Car- 
penters Local  319  is  the  oldest  labor 
union  in  Roanoke  in  continuous  exist- 
ence. One  member,  J.  R.  Gusler,  has 
been  a  member  in  good  standing  since 
January  3,  1902.  He  was  22  years  old 
when  he  joined  the  local  union  and  re- 
mained an  active  member  until  six  or 
seven  years  ago.  He  was  hit  by  a  car 
and  received  a  broken  leg.  He  is  a  finish 
carpenter  and  cabinet  maker. 

Edgar  T.  Hobbs  has  been  a  member 
of  the  Brotherhood  48  years;  he  was 
initiated  in  Local  1207,  Charleston,  West 
Virginia,  June  3,  1923;  cleared  into  Local 
319,  May  18,  1971,  from  Local  Union 
2207,  Fort  Pierce,  Florida. 

The  following  members  have  more 
than  35  years  continuous  membership  in 
the  Brotherhood:  D.  O.  Cabaniss,  37;  O. 
J.  Cromer,  37;  J.  L.  LaBrie,  37;  H.  F. 
Robinson,  35;  O.  D.  Ross,  37;  and  Bernie 
Whitt,  35.

"Yeah,  I  finally  gave  in,"  the  young

Two  hillbillies  were  hired  to  dig  a

hitting  no  water,  they  were  moved  to 
another  location.  Rather  than  waste 
their  labors,  they  decided  to  pull  up 
the  -dry  well,  cut  it  into  three-foot

were  only   I  8!"

"It  certainly  was,"  agreed  the  sec-

"That's  all  right,"  rejoined  the  wolf, 
"I'm  not  really  a  gentleman!"

Members  listen  as  \\  illiuin  Higgins  instructs  tliem  in  the  safe  operation  of  powder- 
actuated  tools.  Almost  300  members  and   guests  attended   the  sessions. 

Illinois  Members  Receive  Training  for 
Licensed  Use  of  Powder-Actuated  Tools 


Illinois  state  law  now  requires  that 
operators  of  any  powder-actuated  tool, 
such  as  Ramset,  Remington,  Hilti, 
Omark,  and  other  trade  products,  to 
have  been  instructed  in  the  use  of  these 
tools,  and  to  know  how  to  safely  operate 
them.  .  .  .  and  to  have  in  their  possession 
when  they  use  these  tools  a  license  to 
verify  this  fact. 


The  men  behind  the  special  training 
meeting,  from  left:  William  Higgins,  in- 
structor; Sherman  Uautel,  president  of 
Local  No.  839;  and  Richard  Day,  re- 
cording secretary   of  Local  No.  839. 


Because  of  this,  the  executive  board  of 
Local  839.  Des  Plaines,  111.,  proceeded 
to  help  the  members  receive  this  instruc- 
tion and  obtain  their  licenses. 

Members  were  polled  as  to  the  differ- 
ent types  of  powder-actuated  tools  they 
are  using. 

Sherman  Dautel,  president,  and  Rich- 
ard Day.  recording  secretary,  then  began 
making  final  arrangement  for  the  train- 
ing program. 

William  Higgins,  a  representative  of 
Powder  Actuated  Tool  Company,  one  of 
the  most  qualified  people  in  the  state, 
was  asked  to  give  instructions  to  the 
members. 

Charles  Schultz,  a  state  inspector  for 
Illinois,  offered  assistance.  Members  were 
notified  of  plans  at  local  meetings  and 
by  a  special  letter.  Then,  on  March  20, 
the  special  meeting  took  place,  with  over 
285  members  and  guests  in  attendance. 

Mr.  Higgins  and  his  associates  gave 
instructions  on  both  high  and  low-veloc- 
ity tools  of  just  about  every  make,  model, 
shape,  and  color.  Along  with  this,  he 
instructed  members  on  the  rules  for  the 
safe  operation  of  these  tools,  such  as  the 
wearing  of  hard  hats  and  goggles  when 
operating  these  tools,  the  posting  of  signs 


to  let  workmen  know  when  there  are 
powder-actuated  tools  being  used  in  an 
area,  and  what  to  do  in  case  of  a  fire. 
Then  Higgins  explained  the  diflferent  pro- 
cedures on  the  upkeep  and  general  main- 
tenance of  these  tools  to  keep  them  in 
operating  condition,  along  with  the  sev- 
eral types  of  guards  and  accessories  for 
the  tools.  After  this  the  different  types 
of  shells  and  charges  for  the  tools  were 
explained,  along  with  the  various  types 
of  nails.  Higgins  explained  that  all  types 
of  tools  do  not  take  the  same  kind  of 
nails  and  shells  and  that  great  care  must 
be  taken  to  make  sure  that  the  operator 
has  the  right  shells  and  nails  for  the  tool 
he  is  using. 

Upon  completion  of  the  instruction, 
the  company  representative  gave  mem- 
bers tests  to  qualify  for  a  license.  After 
the  tests  were  given,  they  were  graded 
by  Mr.  Higgins  and  his  associates,  and 
licenses  were  issued  to  those  members 
passing  the  tests. 

By  having  training  such  as  this,  there 
can  be  a  greater  number  of  Illinois  Car- 
penters who  are  better  acquainted  with 
these  tools  and  can  operate  them  safely 
on  the  job. 

Next  year,  at  approximately  the  same 
time,  the  local  union  plans  another  eve- 
ning of  instruction.

HORSE    ANCHOR 


"!*# 


The  new  Ackerman  Johnson  Horse 
Anchor  provides  an  attractive  headed 
bolt  rather  than  the  usual  threaded  stud 
that  protrudes  from  the  surface.  It  is  a 
strong,  attractive  and  easy-to-install  fas- 
tening device  for  concrete  and  masonry. 
Once  installed,  there  is  no  need  to  as- 
semble nuts  to  effect  the  fastening. 

The  Horse  Anchor  may  be  removed 
and  reinstalled  in  the  same  pre-drilled 
hole  without  loss  of  holding  power  or 
damage  to  the  anchor.  Simply  back  out 
the  Horse  Anchor  and  remove  the  mount- 
ed unit.  These  anchors  can  be  installed 
through  the  provided  mounting  holes  in 
equipment,  fixtures  or  clamps  without 
having  to  move  these  units. 

Positive  anchoring  is  achieved  by  the 
turning  action  of  the  bolt  which  draws 
up  and  expands  the  preassembled  lock 
nut  over  the  shank  of  the  bolt,  embed- 
ding the  nut  firmly  in  the  concrete.

PORTA/GUIDE 

With  the  new  Porta/Guide,  it  is  now 
possible  to  convert  a  circular  saw  into  a 
portable  table  saw.  The  easily-assembled 
Porta/Guide  forms  a  sturdy,  adjustable 
base  to  which  the  circular  saw  may  be 
attached.  Thus,  the  saw  may  be  used 
safely  on  work  bench,  floor,  table,  etc. 
In  addition,  the  saw  may  be  easily  trans- 
ported to  any  location  desired.  The 
Porta/Guide  is  lightweight,  can  be  used 
with  any  size  or  type  circular  saw,  and 
can  cut  any  material  compatible  with  the

It's  tamperproof  and  weatherproof  too

ELECTRIC   HINGE 

A  new,  exclusive  concealed  conductor 
electric  hinge  has  the  same  appearance 
as  a  conventional  hinge,  has  no  electrical

Recently  introduced  by  Stanley  Hard-

door  it  looks  the  same  as  the  Stanley 
CB1900  hinge  with  its  neat  appearance, 
slim  barrel,  flush  tips  and  bearing.

SIDELL  ADDRESS 

Continued  from  Page  6 

well  done"  .  .  .  "May  you  and  Ethel 
enjoy  all  the  blessings  you  both  so 
richly  deserve." 

I  am  certain  history  will  record  the 
last  twenty  years  as  the  most  turbu- 
lent in  our  country's  history  with  the 
exception  of  the  Civil  War.  The  able 
leadership  of  Maurice  Hutcheson  has 
protected  and  advanced  the  best  inter- 
ests of  the  United  Brotherhood 
through  them  all.  He  has  adhered 
strictly  to  the  words  which  the  found- 
ing fathers  of  the  United  Brotherhood 
wrote  and  inscribed  in  our  first  con- 
stitution nearly  one  hundred  years 
ago:  "We  recognize  that  the  interests 
of  all  labor  are  identical  regardless  of 
occupation,  nationality,  religion  or 
color,  ...  a  wrong  done  to  one  is  a 
wrong  done  to  all." 

Wrongs  Righted 

Maurice  has  remained  untiring  in 
his  efforts  to  see  that  every  wrong  was 
righted.  He  has  been  steadfast  in  his 
determination  that  the  members  of 
the  United  Brotherhood  of  Carpenters 
and  Joiners  of  America  enjoy  their 
right  to  a  fuller  and  richer  life  in 
providing  themselves,  their  families, 
with  a  better  standard  of  living. 

He  has  been  dedicated  in  accom- 
plishing these  goals  for  all  working- 
men  and  women.  Because  Maurice 
Hutcheson  has  remained  unaltered  in 
all  these  objectives,  I  am  as  confident 
as  you  that  he  enjoys  great  personal 
satisfaction  and  personal  triumph  few 
men  ever  know.  He  has  done  this  by 
fully  utilizing  the  talents  God  had 
granted  him. 

If  a  man  has  talent  and  does  not 
use  it,  he  has  failed.  If  he  has  talent 
and  only  uses  half  of  it,  he  has  par- 
tially failed.  If  he  has  talent  and  ex- 
ploits it  to  its  fullest  potential  he  has 
indeed  succeeded  gloriously.  Maurice 
Hutcheson  is  the  latter,  he  has  the 
exceptional  talent  and  what  is  more 
important,  he  learned  to  use  it  long 
ago.  All  of  us  in  this  great  gathering 
tonight,  plus  countless  thousands  of 
others,  thank  God  he  did  so! 

I'm  sure  you  know,  as  I  know,  the 
highest  reward  a  man  receives  for 
his  toil  is  not  what  he  gets  for  it,  but 
what  he  becomes  by  it.  Maurice  A. 
Hutcheson  has  become — through  his 
honesty,  his  principles,  his  dedication 
and  hard  work — respected,  loved  and 
admired  by  all  who  know  him.  That, 
my  friends,  is  man's  highest  reward. 

President  Hutcheson  has  unfailing 
faith  in  his  fellow  man.  He  has  a 
burning  desire  to  see  every  wrong 
righted.  His  deep  thirst  for  justice 
compelled  him  to  be  honest  and  above 


all  fair  in  reaching  decisions,  without 
regard  to  consequences.  He  knows  that 
right  makes  might,  and  Maurice  A. 
Hutcheson  has  never  deviated  from 
this  principle. 

Having  been  closely  associated  with. 
Maurice  for  many  years,  I  was  con- 
tinually amazed  by  his  ability  to  see 
through  flowery  rhetoric  and  partisan 
pleadings  in  situations  which  con- 
fronted him  daily,  and  to  clearly  il- 
luminate the  core  of  a  problem.  His 
knowledge  of  the  labor  movement  is 
amazing,  his  insight  into  human  na- 
ture is  sharp  as  the  surgeon's  scalpel. 
His  counsel  and  advice  have  been 
sought  by  many,  including  Presidents 
of  the  United  States.  The  shame,  of 
course,  is  that  they  have  not  always 
followed  that  advice. 

One  thing  surfaces  above  all — his 
plain,  warm  and  humane  life-style — 
an  attitude  of  respect  for  others,  a 
feeling  for  and  a  longing  to  aid  his 
fellow  man,  and  an  inherent  sense  of 
compassion  and  gratitude  which  does 
not  allow  him  to  forget  a  kindness  or 
permit  him  to  fail  to  repay  an  obliga- 
tion, many  times  over. 

He  is  closely  akin  to  America.  As 
America  is  a  great  land,  Maurice 
Hutcheson  is  a  great  man.  He  has 
grown  with  America  and  America  has 
grown  with  him.  He  is  its  product. 

How  do  we  possibly  honor  this  man 
who  has  served  the  United  Brother- 
hood, the  trade  union  movement,  the 
United  States  of  America,  so  well. 
The  delegates  at  the  last  General  Con- 
vention of  the  United  Brotherhood 
adopted  a  President  Emeritus  resolu- 
tion which  provides  and  insures  that 
he  will  be  available  in  the  future  for 
the  guidance  and  counsel  that  we  shall 
need,  which  only  he  can  give.  For  me 
as  a  "rookie"  General  President,  you 
have  no  idea  how  assuring  that  can  be. 

It  is  not  possible  to  articulate  how 
everyone  in  this  room  feels  .  .  .  what 
thousands  of  his  fellow  men  think.  But 
we  shall  try.  I  am  privileged  at  this 
time  to  make  an  announcement  on  be- 
half of  the  officers  and  membership  of 
our  United  Brotherhood.  It  is  un- 
precedented in  custom.  It  is  a  "first" 
for  the  United  Brotherhood. 

Plaque  Planned 

I  believe  you  are  all  familiar  with 
our  beautiful  building  near  the  Cap- 
itol of  the  United  States  which  is  the 
headquarters  of  the  United  Brother- 
hood, a  structure  that  Maurice  person- 
ally helped  design  and  the  erection  he 
personally  helped  supervise.  In  its 
lobby,  gracing  one  wall,  are  four  mag- 
nificent bronze  plaques.  They  honor 
Peter  J.  McGuire,  our  Pounder; 
Gabriel  Edmonston,  our  first  General 


President;  William  L.  Hutcheson,  Gen- 
eral President  from  1915  to  1952;  and 
Frank  Duff'y,  our  General  Secretary 
from  1901  to  1948.  Four  great  Ameri- 
cans, four  great  leaders. 

Ladies  and  gentlemen,  I  am  author- 
ized to  announce  that  a  fifth  plaque  ia 
presently  being  designed  and  will  be 
installed  to  grace  that  wall — in  the 
company  of  our  organization's  found- 
ers— and  outstanding  leaders — in  trib- 
ute to  Maurice  A.  Hutcheson — a 
LIVING  example  of  the  finest  caliber 
man  the  United  Brotherhood,  or  the 
United  States,  can  possibly  produce. 

In  closing,  I'm  reminded  of  what 
S.  W.  Foss  wrote.  He  penned  it  as  if 
America  itself  were  writing  it.  I  be- 
lieve it  is  as  if  the  article  were  writ- 
ten directly  to  and  for  Maurice.  He 
wrote: 

"Bring  me  men  to  match  my 

mountains, 
Bring  me  men  to  match  my  plains — 
Men  with  empires  in  their  purpose — 
And  new  eras  in  their  brains". 

Ladies  and  gentlemen,  Maurice  A. 
Hutcheson  has  been,  and  is,  such  a 
man.   ■

WILLIAM  SIDELL,  General  President 


There  Stiould  Be  No  Contest 


■  At  the  present  time  there  is  a  behind-the-scenes 
struggle  going  on  within  the  Social  Security  structure 
that  certainly  will  have  far-reaching  implications  for 
the  whole  Social  Security  System. 

Simply  put,  Social  Security  reserves  are  growing 
too  fast.  Up  to  now,  the  assumptions  which  the  Social 
Security  Administration  used  in  predicting  income  to 
the  fund  was  based  on  stationary  wage  rates.  In  other 
words,  in  predicting  the  amount  of  money  that  would 
come  into  the  trust  fund,  it  was  assumed  that  wage 
rates  would  not  go  up. 

This,  of  course,  proved  to  be  unrealistic.  Wage 
rates  have  gone  up  and  undoubtedly  will  continue  to 
go  up  in  the  years  ahead.  Since  higher  wages  mean  a 
higher  income  to  the  Social  Security  Trust  Fund,  the 
amount  of  revenue  accruing  to  the  Trust  Fund  is 
bound  to  grow. 

The  Social  Security  Advisory  Council  recently  made 
a  study  of  the  situation.  Based  on  this  study,  there  is 
no  doubt  but  that  Social  Security  benefits  can  be  in- 
creased substantially  without  any  increase  in  the  con- 
tribution rate.  Or,  conversely,  if  benefits  are  not  in- 
creased, the  contribution  rate  can  be  cut  back  from 
the  current  rate  of  4.6%  for  employer  and  employee 
to  about  4.2%. 

Sentiment  in  the  Nixon  Administration  seems  to 
lean  toward  leaving  benefit  schedules  as  they  are.  or 
perhaps  increasing  them  slightly,  and  instead  reducing 
the  contribution  rate  from  4.6%  to  4.2%.  In  fact,  Mr. 
Nixon's  recommendation  is  for  an  increase  in  benefits 
of  only  5%. 

On  the  other  hand,  Congressman  Wilbur  Mills, 
chairman  of  the  House  Ways  and  Means  Committee, 
recommends  an  immediate  increase  of  20%  in  the 
benefit  schedule.  His  recommendation  is  based  on 
the  findings  of  the  Social  Security  Advisory  Council. 

With  unemployment  running  at  somewhere  near  6% 
month  after  month,  it  seems  to  me  that  a  20%  increase 
in  Social  Security  benefits  is  imperative.  Such  a  boost 
would  greatly  increase  the  purchasing  power  of  our 
retirees.  More  important,  however,  is  the  fact  that 
a  20%  boost  would  raise  millions  of  retirees  from  dire 
poverty  to  something  more  closely  approaching  a 
decent  living  standard. 

There  are  nearly  25  million  poor  in  the  United 
States.    A  very  substantial  percentage  of  them  is  to 


be  found  among  the  old.  In  one  fell  swoop,  a  20% 
increase  in  Social  Security  benefits  would  enable  sev- 
eral million  old  people  to  rise  above  the  subsistence 
level. 

On  the  other  hand,  business  profits  have  sky-rock- 
eted phenomenally  in  the  first  five  months  of  this  year. 
Corporations  generally  are  more  prosperous  than  they 
have  ever  been.  They  scarcely  need  the  additional 
windfall  in  the  form  of  a  reduction  of  Social  Security 
contributions  from  4.6%  to  4.2%. 

The  way  I  see  it,  there  is  a  choice  between  making 
life  a  little  bit  better  for  our  retirees  through  higher 
Social  Security  benefits  or  fattening  the  profit  picture 
for  corporations  which  are  already  in  healthy  circum- 
stances. In  my  opinion,  there  should  be  no  contest. 

This  does  not  mean  that  there  will  not  be  one. 

Former  Secretary  of  the  Treasury  Connally  has  ex- 
pressed himself  as  being  in  favor  of  a  reduction  in  the 
tax.  So  has  presidential  advisor  George  Shultz. 
These  men  carry  considerable  weight  with  the  Presi- 
dent, and,  certainly,  the  entire  business  community 
will  throw  all  available  muscle  into  the  fight  to  reduce 
contribution  rates  rather  than  increase  benefit  sched- 
ules. 

H.R.  1,  the  measure  aimed  at  tax  and  welfare  re- 
forms, contains  a  provision  for  a  mere  5%  increase 
in  Social  Security  benefits.  The  bill  is  now  work- 
ing its  way  through  the  Committee  maze  in  the  Senate. 
It  has  already  passed  the  House.  Some  time  in  the 
near  future,  floor  action  will  be  forthcoming  in  the 
Senate. 

In  the  meantime,  another  bill  calling  for  a  much 
more  substantial  increase  in  Social  Security  benefits 
has  been  introduced  by  Senator  Church  of  Idaho  and 
has  the  backing  of  a  large  number  of  senators.  This 
indicates  there  is  a  great  deal  of  sentiment  in  the  Senate 
for  an  increase  in  benefits  of  much  more  than  5%. 

However,  in  politics,  nothing  can  be  taken  for 
granted.  I  am  sure  the  labor  movement  will  exert  all 
the  pressure  it  can  to  increase  benefits  substantially 
rather  than  give  the  corporations  an  additional  wind- 
fall in  the  form  of  reduced  Social  Security  taxes. 

The  United  Brotherhood  is  already  working  hard 
contacting  senators  and  urging  them  to  opt  in  favor  of 
people  rather  than  corporations.  We  will  continue  to 
do  so  until  victory  is  achieved.   ■

Stanley  gives 

today's  best  routers 
even  more  power 


Two  of  today's  most  popular  ball  bearing  routers 
have  been  given  even  greater  power  and  capacity. 

Model  91264  at  $77.00  now  produces  a  full  1 
h.p.;  Model  91267  at  $87.00  has  a  full  Wi  h.p. 
Each  router  will  now  accept  %"  shank  diameter  bits, 
as  well  as  Va",  using  either  of  two  collets  furnished. 
Use  of  heavier  %"  shank  bits,  however,  assures  less 
breakage  under  heavier  torques  and   feeds. 

Motors  have  welded  (not  soldered)  leads.  Microm- 
eter depth  settings  are  in  .004"  increments.  Three 
position  handles  provide  fatigue-free  operation,  bet- 

P.S.     Made  by  the  same  Stanley 


ter  control,  with  convenient  thumb  switching  with- 
out removing  either  hand.  A  switch-operated  shaft 
lock  permits  one-wrench  bit  changes.  And  only 
Stanley  routers  have  a  built-in  light  for  better  visi- 
bility for  the  operator. 

Stanley's  complete  line  of  routers  range  from 
14  h.p.  to  8  h.p.  in  electric,  air  and  high-frequency 
power  sources.  See  them  at  your  distributor.  Stan-

THE   COVER 

The  United  States  and  Canada 
share  July  commemorations  of  na- 
tional freedom.  July  4  is  the  tradi- 
tional holiday  for  United  States  citi- 
zens: July  1  is  Confederation  Day 
in  Canada. 

Our  cover  artist  has  assembled  atop 
a  map  of  our  two  nations  symbols  of 
freedom  recognized  by  each. 

The  red  and  white  maple  leaf  flag 
serves  as  a  backdrop  to  the  noble 
statue  to  Britannia.  To  the  right,  a 
portion  of  the  Parliament  Building  in 
Ottawa  is  displayed  beside  the  Mari- 
time Provinces. 

The  United  States  map  is  dominated 
by  the  head  of  the  Minuteman,  the 
Eagle  and  Shield,  and  the  tower  of 
Independence  Hall  in  Philadelphia, 
where  U.S.  freedom  was  born. 

Canada  and  the  United  States  are 
truly  neighbors  in  democracy.  They 
share  the  longest  unfortified  border  in 
the  world;  they  share,  too,  a  common 
destiny  in  the  development  of  the 
North  American  continent  and  rela-

This  fact  is  borne  out  clearly  in 
the  speeches  to  the  recent  conven- 
tion of  the  Canadian  Labor  Congress,

Today's  Ecological  Challenges 

to  Tomorrow's  Home  Builders 


Home  building  is  in  for  some  difficult  days, 
General   President  William  Sidell  told  the 
Pacific  Coast  Builders  Conference  in   San 
Francisco,  last  month  .  .  .  "How  much 
shall  progress  in  providing  decent 
housing  for  all   be  sacrified  for  a  cleaner 
environment?"  he  asked.  Here  is  the  full 
text  of  his  address. 


■  Ecology  is  a  word  nine  people 
out  of  ten  never  heard  of  20  years 
ago.  Today,  virtually  everyone  is  an 
expert  on  the  subject.  Second  and 
third  graders  talk  about  pollution 
and  the  cco-system  with  a  sophisti- 
cation that  baffles  their  parents. 

All  of  this  is  an  indication  of  how 
far  we  have  come  in  recognizing  the 
seriousness  of  the  ecological  crisis 
that  confronts  us  in  this,  the  last 
third  of  the  Twentieth  Century. 

I  am  sure  there  is  no  need  for  me 
to  belabor  the  point  that  the  ability 
of  the  human  race  to  survive  its  own 
capacity  for  making  its  air  unbreath- 
able,  and  its  cities  unlivable,  is  hang- 
ing in  the  balance. 

There  is  little  doubt  but  that  hu- 
man survival  is  a  race  against  time, 
and  time  seems  to  be  in  the  lead  at 
this  moment. 

Every  segment  of  our  society  is 
involved  to  greater  or  lesser  degree 
in  the  battle  to  bring  about  a  livable 
world.  However,  I  believe  that  more 
changes  and  more  challenges  face 
the  home-building  industry  than 
most  other  industries. 

Let  me  give  you  a  quick  rundown 
of  what  is  happening  in  the  area  of 
the  nation's  capital.  The  implica- 
tions for  home-building  are  obvious. 
T  live  in  a  suburban  community  of 
Maryland,  which  bounds  the  district 
of  Columbia  on  the  north.  It  is  only 


one  of  a  dozen  cities  which  make  up 
the  county.  The  county  is  the  basic 
unit  of  government.  The  schools, 
the  police  force,  etc.,  are  all  county 
operations.  So,  too,  are  zoning  reg- 
ulations, building  codes,  etc. 

This  particular  county  was  one 
of  the  fastest  growing  residential 
areas  in  the  nation.  Today,  however, 
it  is  slowing  down  at  an  alarming 
rate.  The  sewage  system  is  extended 
beyond  its  recognized  capacity,  and 
much  of  the  soil  is  unsuitable  for 
septic  tank  installation.  Therefore, 
the  number  of  building  permits  is- 
sued for  both  individual  dwellings 
and  apartment  houses  is  being  cur- 
tailed steadily.  Until  such  time  as 
new  sewage  treatment  facilities  can 
be  placed  into  operation,  there  is 
bound  to  be  a  continued  downward 
spiraling  in  home-building. 

Reduced  L'tilities 

On  top  of  this,  the  utility  which 
supplies  natural  gas  recently  an- 
nounced that  it  is  not  taking  on  any 
new  customers.  It  will  service  only 
those  customers  it  already  has.  This 
edict  placed  many  home  builders 
in  a  precarious  position.  Some 
switched  to  oil  or  electric  heat,  but 
these  are  not  viable  solutions.  Oil 
is  short  and  the  electric  supply  un- 
certain. 

Last   year,    brown-outs   were   the 


order  of  the  day  during  much  of 
the  months  of  July  and  August. 
There  is  little  doubt  but  that  similar 
curtailments  of  electric  power  will 
be  required  this  summer. 

The  major  atomic  generating  plant 
under  construction  nearby  which 
was  scheduled  to  go  into  operation 
in  1973,  has  been  bogged  down  by 
court  suits  brought  by  environmen- 
talists. There  is  really  no  telling 
when  this  plant  will  go  into  opera- 
tion, if  ever. 

Or  take  the  case  of  another  large 
county  bordering  on  the  District  of 
Columbia.  During  the  past  decade 
it  has  grown  steadily  at  the  average 
rate  of  31,000  new  residents  per 
year.  The  county  council  has  de- 
cided that  the  growth  rate  must  be 
held  to  15,000  per  year  because  of 
the  lack  of  adequate  utilities  and 
facilities. 

From  all  this,  1  think  it  is  logical 
to  deduce  that  home-building  is  in 
for  some  difficult  days  in  the  imme- 
diate future  in  these  counties.  Until 
such  time  as  adequate  sewage  treat- 
ment plants  are  placed  in  operation, 
the  number  of  homes  to  be  built 
each  year  is  destined  to  shrink  de- 
spite growing  needs.  Growing  short- 
ages of  gas  and  electricity  place 
further  obstacles  in  the  path  of 
home-building. 

Adequate    supplies    will    not    be 


THE    CARPENTER 


easy  to  obtain.  Electricity  requires 
power,  and  power  means  pollution, 
whether  fossil  fuels  or  atomic  fuels 
are  used.  This  means  that  environ- 
mentalists and  power  people  inevit- 
ably will  be  working  at  cross  pur- 
poses in  many  instances. 

I  think  this  struggle  highlights  the 
crux  of  our  dilemma;  namely,  how 
much  shall  progress  in  providing 
decent  housing  for  all  be  sacrificed 
for  a  cleaner  environment? 

Certainly,  we  need  both  a  cleaner 
environment  and  millions  of  new 
homes.  Balancing  the  priority  of  the 
needs  is  one  of  the  major  challenges 
of  our  time.  I  may  be  biased,  but  it 
is  my  conviction  that  the  environ- 
mentalists deliberately  endeavor  to 
stampede  the  American  people  into 
unrealistic  programs  aimed  at  curing 
generations  of  ecological  neglect  in 
one  fell  swoop.  Scare  headlines  and 
science-fiction  predictions  are  the 
modus  operandi. 

Jobs  and  Health 

Certainly,  no  one  can  deny  that 
pollution  poses  a  serious  threat  to 
the  future  welfare  of  the  nation,  but 
so,  too,  does  malnutrition.  Malnu- 
trition is  a  disease  that  stems  from 
unemployment,  and  its  efi'ects  can  be 
as  devastating  as  the  worst  of  pol- 
lution. We  need  a  cleaner  environ- 
ment, but  we  need  jobs  too.  I  believe 
we  can  have  both. 

I  think  of  the  situation  in  Everett, 
Washington.  Two  pulp  mills  there 
have  been  polluting  the  bay  for 
seventy  years.  Suddenly,  they  are 
given  drastic  orders  to  curtail  pol- 
lution almost  instantaneously.  Be- 
cause the  mills  were  old  and  com- 
paratively inefficient,  this  edict 
amounted  to  a  death  sentence. 
Thirteen  hundred  jobs  were  in- 
volved in  an  area  already  hard  hit  by 
layoffs  in  the  airplane  industry. 

The  point  I  want  to  make  is  that 
these  mills  had  a  long  history  of 
polluting  the  bay.  The  bay  naturally 
suffered,  but  it  survived  for  seventy 
years.  It  seems  to  me  that  an  or- 
derly program  for  gradually  reduc- 
ing the  pollution  might  have  kept 
the  mills  alive  for  some  time  to 
come,  and  would  have  started  re- 
versing the  seventy  year  trend. 

I  am  sure  that  no  blueprint  is 
necessary  to  pinpoint  the  implica- 
tions for  home  building  in  the  Ever- 


ett situation.  It  must  be  all  but  dead 
there.  I  think  this  is  a  small  exam- 
ple of  the  pressures  which  are  build- 
ing up  between  ecology  and  indus- 
trial progress. 

One  of  the  areas  in  which  our 
brotherhood  has  been  deeply  in- 
volved in  the  ecological  controversy 
is  in  the  management  of  national 
forest  lands.  I  do  not  think  I  need 
to  point  out  that  wood  is  a  highly 
desirable  building  material  in  the 
housing  field.  It  has  flexibility,  and 
up  to  now,  it  has  had  an  availability 
unmatched  by  any  other  building 
materials.  In  addition,  it  has  a  spe- 
cial significance  in  that  it  is  a  renew- 
able resource. 

Unlike  minerals  and  fossil  fuels, 
which  once  mined  are  gone  forever, 
wood  can  be  produced  in  an  endless 
cycle  of  new  crops.  This  is  of  major 
importance  to  the  nation  and,  for 
that  matter,  to  the  world,  which  is 
faced  with  the  tremendous  problem 
of  husbanding  inadequate  supplies 
of  basic  raw  materials. 

With  federal  lands  containing 
about  fifty  percent  of  available  mer- 
chantable timber,  the  policies  which 
the  government  pursues  on  these 
lands  is  of  considerable  importance 
to  your  members  and  to  ours.  As  a 
result  of  the  wilderness  act  of  1964, 
the  federal  government  placed  some 
9.1  millions  of  acres  of  national  for- 
est lands  in  the  national  wilderness 
system.  A  sizable  percentage  of 
these  lands  contained  valuable  tim- 
ber assets.  Some  additional  4.5  mil- 
lion acres  are  designated  as  primitive 
areas  at  this  time,  and  they,  too, 
are  withdrawn  from  any  logging 
activities. 

Forest  Contribution 

No  one  can  quarrel  with  the  idea 
that  scenic  and  spectacular  areas 
of  the  United  States  should  be  pre- 
served intact  for  the  enjoyment  of 
future  generations.  On  the  other 
hand,  lands  that  are  best  suited  to 
producing  successive  crops  of  wood 
products  ought  to  be  carefully  stud- 
ied and  evaluated  as  to  the  maxi- 
mum contribution  they  can  make  to 
the  common  good. 

I  firmly  believe  that  there  is  ade- 
quate acreage  under  federal  owner- 
ship for  both  outdoor  recreation  and 
the  continuing  supply  of  timber 
products. 


A  Forest  Service  survey  shows 
that  the  typical  visitor  to  our  wilder- 
ness areas  is  a  college  graduate  in 
an  upper  income  bracket  who  camps 
out  for  a  week  or  more,  pursuing 
a  hobby  of  photography  or  rock 
collecting,  or  something  of  that  na- 
ture. 

The  vast  bulk  of  American  citi- 
zens will  live  out  their  lives  without 
ever  visiting  a  true  wilderness  area. 
Picture  post  cards  are  about  the  only 
contact  they  will  have.  In  effect, 
what  the  wilderness  areas  achieve  is 
the  reservation  of  vast  areas  for  a 
few  hobbyists  and  outdoor  fanatics. 

Population  Change 

By  and  large,  Americans  today 
are  a  nation  of  city  dwellers.  At  the 
turn  of  the  century,  less  than  one- 
half  of  the  population  lived  in  urban 
areas.  That  figure  is  now  above 
seventy  percent  and  by  1980  it  will 
be  around  eighty  percent.  In  1900, 
the  country  had  only  seventy-five 
million  people;  now  its  population 
exceeds  two  hundred  million. 

The  urbanization  process — to- 
gether with  the  desire  for  a  more 
comfortable  life — had  led  to  a 
steadily-growing  demand  for  addi- 
tional public  facilities  and  public 
services:  schools,  libraries  and  col- 
leges; hospitals  and  clinics;  bridges 
and  tunnels;  streets  and  highways; 
storm  sewers  and  sanitary  sewers; 
airports;  recreation  centers;  muse- 
ums and  theaters;  clean  air  and 
clean  water;  police  and  fire  protec- 
tion; public  utilities  and  urban  mass 
transit. 

Some  of  these  facilities  and  serv- 
ices are  provided  by  private  busi- 
ness for  a  profit.  This  is  true,  for 
example,  with  respect  to  most  gas 
and  electric  utilities,  and  some  are 
provided  by  private,  non-profit  or- 
ganizations, as  in  the  case  of  many 
hospitals.  In  the  main,  however,  for 
most  of  these  services — and  the  fa- 
cilities they  require — the  people 
look  to  the  government  and  to  the 
investment  of  public  funds.  It  is 
quite  obvious  that  government's  ef- 
forts in  this  area  have  fallen  far 
short  of  the  need. 

I  have   only  touched  lightly  on 

some    of    the    ecological    problems 

which  I  think  are  looming  on  the

PRUITT-IGOE 

Case  History  of  a  Public  Housing 
Project  That  Went  Wrong. 


■  In  1955  the  Pruitt-Igoe  Pub- 
lic Housing  Project  in  St.  Louis  was 
acclaimed  by  architects  and  city 
planners  alike  for  its  design  and 
practicability. 

Today,  Pruitt-Igoe  is  viewed  as 
a  prime  example  of  urban  bungling 
and  ill-planning.  In  fact,  the  low- 
rent  housing  complex  is  virtually 
uninhabitable  right  now. 

The  dream  has  turned  into  a 
nightmare. 

Criminals  and  \andals  have  made 
a  haven  of  Pruitt-Igoe.  More  win- 
dows are  broken  than  remain  intact. 
Plumbing  is  ripped  out,  walls  and 
ceilings  have  gaping  holes  in  them, 
and  elevators  for  the  1  1 -story  high- 
rises  are  continually  on  the  blink  or 
filled  with  the  strench  of  urine.  Only 
wary  repairmen  and  deliverymen  en- 
ter the  area.    Even  police,  fire,  and

pletclj  surrounds  the  development.  Chil- 
dren have  often  gotten  lost  trying  to 
distinguish  the  entrance  to  their  own 
apartment  building. 


ambulance  drivers  try  to  avoid 
Pruitt-Igoe.  and  taxis  are  rarely  if 
ever  seen  near  the  premises.  Snipers 
have  been  known  to  perch  on  the 
roofs  of  one  of  the  country's  tallest 
slums. 

What  happened  to  this  "model" 
public  housing  project? 

The  main  problem  seems  to  be 
population  density.  Pruitt-Igoe  was 
designed  to  pro\ide   minimum-rent 


housing  for  about  13.000  people  in 
approximately  ten  city  blocks.  In 
other  words,  a  federally-funded  proj- 
ect created  a  relatively  large  city, 
a  vertical  slum,  in  a  tiny  area  sur- 
rounded by  blighted  homes  and 
abandoned  shops  in  St.  Louis'  near 
northside. 

Such  a  project  was  doomed  from 
the  start.  In  1955,  43  buildings 
were  constructed  at  a  cost  of  .$36,- 
000,000.  One  of  the  many  cost- 
rises,  besides  cheap  insulation  and 
saving  features  of  the  1 1 -story  high- 
wiring,  was  the  now-infamous  skip- 
stop  elevator  system.  These  under- 
sized elevators  which  stopped  only 
at  the  fourth,  seventh,  and  tenth 
floors,  were  highly  acclaimed  as  an 
architectural  economy  measure  at

narrowed  to  make  new  apartments  and  reduce  the  gantlet  area  for  residents 
trying  to  reach  apartments.  The  battered  elevators  in  each  building,  though 
they  were  completely  reconditioned,  could  not  be  changed.

older  ones.

ONTARIO  AND  NEW  JERSEY  TAKE  ACTION 

Two  State  And  Provincial  Agreements 
Supplement  Recent  Int'l  Drywall  Pact 


■  Two  recent  agreements 
strengthen  the  Brotherhood's  posi- 
tion in  drywall  and  acoustical  con- 
struction and  supplement  the  recent- 
ly-established international  agree- 
ment between  the  Brotherhood  and 
the  International  Association  of  Wall 
and  Ceiling  Contractors. 

In  mid-March  a  province-wide 
acoustical  and  drywall  agreement 
was  negotiated  by  the  Ontario  Pro- 
vincial Council  with  the  Acoustical 
Association  of  Ontario.  Shortly  af- 
terwards, the  New  Jersey  State 
Council  of  Carpenters  signed  a  hard- 
won  Carpentcr-Drywall  Specialties 
Agreement  with  the  New  Jersey 
Drywall  Contractors  Association. 

The  New  Jersey  agreement  was 
complicated,  due  to  the  fact  that  the 
Building  Code  of  New  Jersey  had 
previously  discriminated  against  the 
use  of  drywall  interiors.  Through 
the  efforts  of  the  General  Office  and 
General  Executive  Board  Member 
Raleigh  Rajoppi,  the  code  was 
amended  and  the  way  cleared  for 
drywall  agreement. 

On  May  19,  General  President 
William  Sidell  sent  a  letter  to  all 
New  Jersey  construction  locals,  ex- 
plaining the  pact. 

The  New  Jersey  drywall  agree- 
ment became  effective  on  July  1, 
1972. 

The  Ontario  agreement  has  been 
in  effect  since  March  14  and  ex- 
tends to  April  30,  1974.  It  was  de- 
signed to  "pick  up"  several  local 
agreement  terms  spelled  out  in  an 
appendix  which  each  local  union 
and  district  council  signs.  More  than 
85  companies  will  become  party  to 
the  agreement  covering  almost  2,000 
members  in  the  field  of  acoustical 
and  drywall  construction. 

Both  the  Ontario  and  New  Jersey 
agreements  provide  for  recognition 
of  the  Brotherhood's  jurisdiction  in 
wall  and  ceiling  work  assignments, 
and  each  helps  to  ease  the  tensions 
which  have  traditionally  existed  be- 
tween the  plastering  and  drywall 
industries.   ■

ROUNDUP 


REPOSSESSIONS-The  U.S.  Supreme  Court  has  struck  a  blow  for  the  consumer — ^holding 
that  creditors  cannot  seize  merchandise  purchased  on  time  payments,  when  payments 
are  in  default,  without  a  hearing. 

By  a  four-to-three  vote,  the  High  Court  struck  down  Pennsylvania  and 
Florida  laws  which  permit  creditors  to  take  the  merchandise  after  payment  de- 
faults without  giving  the  purchasers  a  chance  to  tell  a  court  why  the 
repossession  is  unwarranted. 

Almost  all  states  have  statues  similar  to  those  in  Florida  and  Pennsylvania. 

JOBLESS  YOUTH— The  numher  of  youths  in  the  school -age  work  force  this  summer — 
that  is,  in  the  16-to-24  age  group — will  he  ahout  22.4  million,  the  Lahor 
Department  estimates.  The  3.6  million  increase  from  April  of  this  year  will 
not  he  quite  as  great  as  it  was  last  year. 

YOUTH  OCCUPIED— There  were  756,100  disadvanteged  youths  enrolled  in  the  Neigh- 
borhood Youth  Corps  (NYC)  program  in,  1971,  an  increase  of  118,000  or  19%  over 
total  enrollees  for  1970,  the  Labor  Department  reports. 

MEANY  ASSISTANT— Tom  Kahn  has  been  named  an  assistant  to  AFL-CIO  President  George 
Meany.  Kahn  is  on  leave  as  executive  director  of  the  League  for  Industrial 
Democracy.  He  has  written  widely  in  the  areas  of  politics,  civil  rights  and  youth 
problems. 

MANPOWER  PROGRAMS— Labor  unions  are  participating  in  Federal  Manpower  training 
programs  amounting  to  more  than  $30,000,000  this  year  as  compared  with  less  than 
$8,000,000  in  1968,  according  to  the  U.S.  Department  of  Labor. 

More  than  53,000  workers  have  been  placed  in  jobs  by  labor  unions  since 
January  of  1969,  the  great  majority  in  the  building  and  construction" trades, 
with  an  average  starting  wage  of  $3.50  an  hour. 

THE  MESSAGE— One  of  the  most  simple,  direct  messages  to  President  Nixon  is  being 
carried  on  bumper  stickers  hereabouts.  It  reads:  "UMMPLOYMMT  ISN'T  WORKING". 

BACK  TO  THE  DRAWING  BOARD-The  last  Wholesale  Price  Index  was  something  of  a 
disaster  for  the  Nixon  Administration,  providing  some  sound  evidence  that  his 
New  Economic  Program  is  close  to  a  shambles. 

The  May  WPI  tells  us  that  prices  rose  faster  the  six  months  since  Nixon's 
wage-price  freeze — ^with  pay  controls — than  in  the  six  months  prior  to  the  freeze. 

SANCTIONS  AGAINST  HAITI — The  AFL-CIO  wants  the  U.S.  Government  and  all  inter- 
national agencies  to  impose  strict  economic  sanctions  against  Haiti  until  its  new 
regime  "translates  its  promises  into  performances  by  ending  its  despotic  denial 
of  all  human  rights  and  freedoms." 

MINIMUM  WAGE  FOR  TEENAGERS — The  Nixon  proposal  to  establish  a  substandard 
minimum  wage  for  teenagers  would  neither  create  new  jobs  for  young  workers  nor 
spur  the  economy  toward  expanded  job  opportunities  to  cut  high  unemployment,  in 
the  view  of  the  AFL-CIO. 

"Jobs  are  created  by  demand  in  the  economy,"  not  by  cutting  the  minimum 
wage,  Rudolph  Oswald  of  the  AFL-CIO' s  Department  of  Research  stressed,  in  a 
network  radio  interview.  He  noted  that  the  below-par  wage  for  teenagers  urged  by 
Administration  spokesmen  would  have  no  effect  on  "teenage  employment  and 
unemployment" — a  fact  borne  out  by  a  "detailed,  year-long  study  .  .  .  the  Labor 
Department  itself  commissioned." 

MATH  WIZARD? — Don  Cutler,  of  the  American  Federation  of  State,  County  and 
Municipal  Employees,  an  organizer  with  a  mathematical  bent  of  mind,  figured  out 
that  within  one  hour  56,700  pickets  could  march  past  any  given  picketing 
point.  (PAI)

The  June  CARPENTER  jeatiiied  excerpts 
in  five  categories  from  the  1972  AFL-CIO  plat- 
form proposals:  hoitsiiii>.  occupational  liealth 
and  safety,  international  trade,  national  health 
security,  and  the  national  economy. 

This  month,  the  important  concerns  of  man- 
power, pensions,  and  lalior  relations  are  high- 
lighted. 

These  and  otlier  AFL-CIO  policy  statements 
are  being  presented  to  the  Democratic  and  Re- 
publican national  conventions  this  summer  in 
an  effort  to  clarify  the  positions  of  organized 
labor  on  issues  affecting  every  American. 


Labor-Management  Relations 

Collective  bargaining  is  the  keynote  in  the  arch 
of  America's  system  of  economic  democracy  and 
private  enterprise. 

There  is  no  compatibility  between  effective  eco- 
nomic democracy  and  control  of  the  collective 
bargaining  process  by  governmental  fiat.  The  to- 
talitarian regimes  have  established  that  beyond 
question. 

The  national  labor  policy  established  a  gener- 
ation ago  by  the  Congress  of  the  United  States, 
with  the  passage  of  the  Wagner  Act.  recognized 
this.  Despite  successive  amendments  of  that  Act 
by  the  Taft-Hartley  and  Landrum-Griffin  changes, 
the  National  Labor  Management  Relations  Act 
still  retains,  in  its  preamble,  the  original  declara- 
tions and  intentions  of  encouraging  "the  practice 
and  procedure  of  collective  bargaining"  and  the 
preliminary  process  of  organizing  to  obtain  bar- 
gaining. 

Barriers  designed  to  circumvent  these  declara- 
tions, however,  remain  in  one  form  or  another: 

•  The  intervention  of  the  employer  into  what 
should  be  essentially  an  employe  determination 
of  whether  collective  bargaining  is  desired  has 
been  sanctioned  under  the  guise  of  the  "free 
speech"  section. 

•  Employers  have  been  able  to  distort  and  in- 
fluence the  outcome  of  representation  elections 
on  the  premise  that  words,  that  are  not  established 
as  clear  and  instant  coercive  threats,  are  not  an 
unfair  labor  practice. 

•  So-called  "labor-consultants"  are  being  hired 
by  anti-union  employers  to  advise  their  clients  on 
how  to  break  or  bend  the  law  maintaining  a  facade 
of  compliance  but,  in  effect,  violating  its  intent. 


•  The  Act  continues  to  contain  Section  14(b) 
which  permits  states  to  restrain  union  security  in 
ways  more  restrictive  than  the  federal  statute. 
This  section  is  patently  inconsistent  with  the  pur- 
pose of  the  Act. 

•  The  Act  permits  employers  to  receive  physi- 
cal and  financial  assistance  from  fellow-employers, 
individually  and  collectively,  during  labor-manage- 
ment disputes,  while,  at  the  same  time,  denying 
employes  the  right  to  enlist  the  aid  of  fellow  work- 
ers or  fellow  unionists. 

•  Workers  in  desperate  need  of  union  organi- 
zation, such  as  agricultural  workers  and  employes 
of  non-profit  hospitals,  are  excluded  from  coverage 
of  the  Act. 

•  More  adequate  remedies  are  needed  for  an 
employe  who  has  been  illegally  dismissed  by  an 
employer  in  violation  of  the  Act. 

•  Appropriate  legislation  should  be  enacted  in- 
suring state  and  local  government  employes  the 
right  to  bargain  collectively. 

The  National  Labor  Relations  Act  must  be  re- 
vised in  order  to  return  the  national  labor  policy 
to  its  original  purpose.  It  should  also  be  broad- 


ened in  coverage  so  that  no  group  of  employes, 
eligible  for  congressional  concern,  should  be  de- 
nied the  benefits  of  participation  in  the  national 
labor  policy.

THE    CARPENTER 


ISSUES  IN  1972 


Manpower  and  Training  Policy 

With  unemployment  continuing  at  critically  high 
levels,  a  meaningful  manpower  policy  must  receive 
a  special  priority. 

The  key  to  an  effective  manpower  program  is 
job  creation.  Training,  while  important  and  neces- 
sary, is  not  an  end  in  itself.  Training  must  be  fol- 
lowed by  a  job  if  it  is  to  have  any  value. 

Attainment  of  full  employment  is  the  basic  pre- 
requisite of  an  effective  and  comprehensive,  na- 
tional manpower  policy. 

When  the  regular  job-creating  channels  in  the 
economy,  both  private  and  public,  do  not  create 
enough  jobs,  the  federal  government  must  pro- 
vide sufficient  funds  for  a  large-scale  public-service 
employment  program.  Such  a  program  to  create 
jobs  for  the  unemployed  and  seriously  under- 
employed would  provide  badly  needed  services  in 
hospitals,  schools,  fire  and  police  departments, 
recreational  facilities,  sanitation,  pollution  controls 
and  other  state,  local  and  federal  government  fa- 
cilities. 

In  the  establishment  of  manpower  programs,  in 
both  the  public  and  private  sectors,  we  insist  on 
provision  of  adequate  wage  and  working  stand- 
ards. Wages,  under  these  programs,  should  be  at 
least  at  the  level  of  federal  minimum  wage  or  the 
prevailing  rate  of  pay  for  the  occupation,  which- 
ever is  higher. 

Manpower  programs  should  not  be  used  to  sub- 
sidize low-wage,  substandard  employers  and  to 
undermine  the  wage  and  working  standards  of 
other  workers,  to  aid  runaways.  .  , 


Pension  Legislation 

Adequate  income  for  retirement  has  become 
one  of  the  goals  of  the  American  labor  movement. 
Logically,  this  should  be  provided  under  the  So- 
cial Security  program,  which  organized  labor  has 
done  everything  possible  to  improve,  but  since 
Social  Security  fails  to  meet  these  needs  the  labor 
movement  has  negotiated  private  pension  pro- 
grams through  the  collective  bargaining  process. 

However,  as  private  pension  plans  have  grown 
certain  problems  have  emerged.  Many  workers 
fail  to  qualify  for  a  pension  because  of  their  in- 
ability to  meet  length  of  service  or  vesting  re- 
quirements established  under  private  pension  and 
profit  sharing  plans.  Workers  have  also  lost  their 
rights  to  a  pension  because  of  business  failures, 
mergers,  and  acquisitions.  Because  of  family  busi- 
ness failures,  as  well  as  plant  shut-downs  in  firms 
continuing  to  operate,  a  small  but  significant  pro- 
portion of  employes  covered  by  private  pension 
plans  have  lost  not  only  their  jobs  but  also  their 
earned  rights  to  pensions. 

Others  have  been  similarly  victimized  when  their 
employers  have  been  delinquent  in  making  pre- 
viously stipulated  contributions  to  pension  funds 
thereby  seriously  jeopardizing  the  soundness  and 
stability  of  the  trust.  Still  others  have  lost  their 
pension  rights  when  runaway  employers,  often  en- 
couraged by  plant  piracy  through  tax-free  indus- 
trial bonds,  have  moved  their  operations  to  other 
communities. 

Any  legislation  to  meet  these  problems,  which 
might  be  enacted  by  the  Congress,  must  take  into 
consideration  the  great  diversity  of  employe  bene- 
fit programs,  the  wide  variation  of  conditions  un- 
der which  these  plans  have  been  established  and 
the  substantial  and  varying  impact  on  costs  which 
such  regulations  might  entail.  .  .  .

Bernardino,  Calif.,  recently  installed 
the  largest  direct  current,  single 
armature  electric  motor  ever  built 
in  the  Free  World.  The  10,000 
horsepower  motor  was  installed  in 
the  Kaiser  Steel  plant  in  Fontana. 
Calif. 

The  motor  was  built  in  one  year's 
time  by  the  General  Electric  Com- 
pany's plant  in  Schenectady,  N.Y., 
and  was  shipped  to  California  by 
rail.  Four  railroad  flat  cars  were 
used  to  carry  the  \arious  compon- 
ents and  controls  of  the  motor.  The 
unit's  rotor  alone  required  mount- 
ing in  a  steel  skid  on  a  special 
widened    and    underslung    fiat    car, 


cushioned  on  44  shock  absorbers. 

After  a  28-year-old  7,000  horse- 
power motor  had  been  removed 
from  the  installation  site.  Mill- 
wrights extended  the  existing  foun-

ponent parts  of  the  motor  were 
moved  to  the  point  of  installation.

"1  have  often  admired  the  front  cover  of  our  magazine."  writes  Kenneth 
G.   Rcames,  member  of  Local   266.  Stoctvton.  Calif.      "This  time  I 
have  done  something  about  it." 

Inspired  by  the  cover  of  last  November's  Carpenier.  Reames  did 
an  oil  painting  of  the  autumn  scene  which  enhances  the  beauty  of  the 
original   color  photograph. 

Rcames  first  joined  Local  1240.  Oroville,  California,  in  1934.     He 
hopes  that  his  old  friends  will  see  what  he  is  doing  now  that  he 
is  retired  and  jixing  in  Stockton. 


PAINTING  WITH  WOOD 

Willy  Grawe's  latest  major  work  in  the  art  of  mar- 
quetry is  a  47-by-41-inch  depiction  of  the  Sermon  on 
the  Mount,  inspired  by  a  magazine  photograph  of  the 
original  painting  by  a  Danish  master.  Grawe  is  known 
as  a  "Danish  Master  Craftsman"  of  inlaid  wooden 
pictures. 

A  member  of  Millmen's  Local  1220,  Portland,  Oregon, 
Grawe  composed  the  inlaid  wood  picture  by  cutting  and 
fitting  hundreds  of  pieces  of  naturally  colored  wood 
from  all  over  the  world.  Christ's  face,  for  example, 
was  done  in  rosewood  that  came  from  Switzerland,  while 
His  red  robe  comes  from  an  African  wood.  Some  of  the 
other  woods  include  Swedish  birch,  swamp  oak,  ma- 
drone,  and  koa  from  Hawaii. 

The  picture  began  four-and-one-half  years  ago  with 
a  detailed  blueprint  of  the  subject,  each  piece  marked 
for  color.  "It  looked  like  a  paint  by  numbers  picture." 
says  Grawe.  Then  each  piece  is  cut  with  a  knife  or 
with  the  jigsaw  he  brought  from  his  homeland  of  Den- 
mark. 

The  wood  inlaid  "Sermon  on  the  Mount"  was  the 
feature  display  at  the  Western  Forestry  Center  in  Port- 
land   during   the    Easter   season    this   year.      An    earlier 


work  of  Grawe's,  a  wood  portrait  of  George  Wash- 
ington, became  the  front  cover  of  the  February,  1966, 
Cctrpenler.

MINI-COACH 

Kenneth  Keith  of  Local  669, 
Vienna,  III.,  is  the  maker  of  this 
reproduced  1884  Concord  Stage 
Coach.  Keith  followed  authentic 
blueprints  throughout  every  detail 
of  this  %  scale  reproduction,  using 
power  tools  not  even  dreamed  of 
90  years  ago. 

Two  40-inch-high  "mini-mules" 
are  used  to  pull  the  stagecoach  in  a 
fall  festival  parade.  Norman  Jones, 
the  trainer  of  the  mules,  is  the 
driver  of  Keith's  stagecoach,  and 
"Spot"  is  riding  shotgun. 

Native  walnut  is  found  through- 
out the  coach,  except  for  the  wheels 
which  are  made  of  hickory.  The 
upholstery,  luggage  rack,  and  blinds 
are  genuine  leather,  and  most  of 
the  fittings  are  brass. 


BASEMENT  FLEET 


C.  Dick  Craig  has  built  and  stored  a  fleet  of  about  25  ships — in  his  basement. 

"Building  model  ships  keeps  me  feeling  frisky,"  says  the  80-year-old  retired 
member  of  Local  1062,  Santa  Barbara,  Calif.  But  instead  of  assembling  a 
model  kit  sold  in  stores,  Craig  starts  with  a  blueprint  and  makes  every  single 
part     himself. 

His  first  efi^ort  in  model  shipbuilding  came  six  years  ago  when  he  came 
across  some  plans  for  model  ships  in  a  series  of  articles  in  Popular  Mechanics 
dating  back  to  1925.  Since  then  he  has  completed  a  number  of  models  from 
the  famous  "Flying  Cloud"  to  a  Civil  War  paddle  steamer. 

A  few  months  ago  the  Craig  fleet  was  on  public  display  in  Santa  Barbara's 
Upham  Hotel  during  the  hotel's  centennial  celebration.  One  of  the  ships 
on  display  was  Craig's  first  accomplishment,  a  model  of  Henrik  Hudson's 
"Half  Moon,"  pictured  with  Craig. 

After  joining  Local  701,  Fresno,  in  1917,  Craig  transferred  to  Local  642  in 
Richmond,  California.  He  now  lives  at  2049  Mountain  Avenue  in  Santa 
Barbara.    His  son,  Howard  "Don"  Craig,  is  an  active  member  of  Local  1062.

TURNIP 
KING 

Some  members  take  great  pride  in  catching  the  biggest  fish 
in  the  pond  or  bringing  back  the  biggest  buck  in  the  forest, 
But  L.  R.  Lord,  president  of  Local  2461,  Cleveland,  Tenn.,  takes 
great  pride  in  being  the  "turnip  king"  of  Bradley  County. 

Lord,  whose  turnip  patch  is  in  the  Tasso  community  north 
of  Cleveland,  grew  one  turnip  weighing  1 1  Vi  pounds.

ANADIAN 


U.S.  and  Canada  Share  Multi-National 
Corporation  Dilemma,  CLC  Delegates  Told 

Delegates  to  the  9th  Constitutional 
Convention  of  the  Canadian  Labor 
Congress  had  the  good  fortune  to  hear 
both  sides  of  the  story  in  the  current 
debate  going  on  in  the  trade  union 
movement  about  trade  relations  be- 
tween Canada  and  the  United  States. 

The  convention  took  place  in  Ot- 
tawa in  mid-May.  The  two  sides  were 
effectively  presented,  first,  by  Donald 
MacDonald.  president.  Canadian  La- 
bor Congress,  in  his  opening  address: 
then  by  the  AFL-CIO  fraternal  dele- 
gate. Peter  Bommarito. 

The  labor  movement  in  both  coun- 
tries is  faced  with  similar  problems, 
the  threat  of  inflation  on  the  one  hand 
and  high  unemployment  on  the  other, 
with  governments  inclined  to  put  pres- 
sure on  wages  as  a  prime  anti-inflation 
measure. 

Labor  is  being  made  the  scapegoat 
for  inflationary  trends  and  is.  as  fra- 
ternal delegate  Bommarito  told  the 
1 ,700  delegates,  being  blamed  for  the 
spread  of  multi-national  corporations 
who  are  exporting  production  facilities 
and  jobs  to  more  "labor-friendly  coun- 
tries", meaning  countries  where  wages 
arc  lower. 

The  problem  is  very  similar  on  both 
sides  of  the  border.  So  what  is  the 
argument  about? 

CLC  President  MacDonald  first 
rapped  the  federal  government  in 
Canada  for  being  largely  responsible 
for  the  continuing  heavy  unemploy- 
ment. "Disastrous  economic  policies," 
he  charged. 

Then  he  turned  to  Canadian-U.S. 
economic  relations.  Canada,  he  said, 
was  being  confronted  with  ever-rising 
protectionist  trends  in  the  United 
States  which  could  hurt  Canada. 

He  referred  to  the  Hartke-Burke 
bill  before  Congress  which  is  being 
backed  by  U.S.  unions.  This  legisla- 
tion, he  said,  would  impose  a  restric- 


tive quota  on  nearly  all  exports  to  the 
United  States  including  those  from 
Canada. 

He  also  referred  to  the  U.S.  DISC 
program,  the  Domestic  International 
Sales  Corporation,  which  in  effect  sub- 
sidizes U.S.  corporations  on  their  ex- 
port business. 

Since  many  of  these  corporations 
also  operate  in  Canada,  subsidized  ex- 
ports could  undercut  products  made 
by  these  same  corporations  in  Canada. 

For  example.  Canadians  might  be 
able  to  buy  a  car  in  the  United  States 
at  a  subsidized  price  because  it  was 
to  be  taken  north  of  the  border  for  use 
in  this  country.  The  same  car  made 
by  GM,  Ford  or  Chrysler  is  already 
more  expensive  in  Canada  due  to  com- 
pany pricing  and  Canadian  taxes. 

That's  one  side  of  the  story  in  a 
nutshell. 

Mr.  Bommarito  took  up  a  good 
part  of  his  speech  in  dealing  with 
the  multi-national  corporations  which, 
through  their  foreign  subsidiaries, 
prosper  "while  the  labor  force  of  our 
two  great  countries  suffers  from  high 
unemployment." 

Multi-national  corporations  are  the 
fastest-growing  institution  in  Ameri- 
can society,  he  told  the  delegates,  and 
the  third  largest  productive  force  in 
the  world  next  to  the  U.S.  and  Russia. 

They  know  no  boundaries.  They 
don't  care  where  they  produce,  U.S., 
Canada,  Iron  Curtain  countries  or 
South  America,  as  long  as  they  make 
money.  Jobs  are  not  important  to 
them.  Machines  are. 

He  gave  numerous  examples  of 
how  these  huge  companies  have  af- 
fected jobs  in  the  United  States.  One 
example  was  the  shoe  industry,  where 
250  shoe  factories  have  been  shut- 
down and  "the  equivalent  of  1  65,000 
U.S.  jobs  will  have  been  exported  to 
foreign  countries". 


The  U.S.  shoe  worker  whose  aver- 
age age  is  52  is  laid  off.  goes  on  un- 
employment compensation,  then  on 
public  welfare  or  the  charity  of  friends 
or  relatises  until  he  is  old  enough  to 
be  entitled  to  social  security. 

The  AFL-CIO  spokesmen  spelled 
it  all  out  \ery  well.  "Workers  lose 
their  jobs,  the  foreign  workers  work 
for  slave  wages  and  the  consumer  is 
raped." 

"'n  Canada."  he  continued,  "we 
find  the  same  story  repeated  in  the 
textile  industry,  in  the  electrical  in- 
dustry, in  auto  and  steel." 

Defending  the  position  of  the  trade 
union  movement  in  the  United  States, 
Mr.  Bommarito  was  aware  and  con- 
cerned about  workers  in  Canada  and 
elsewhere. 

"We  believe  that  no  worker's  job 
is  expendable  on  the  altar  of  increased 
profits,  whether  the  worker  be  in  the 
United  States  or  in  Canada. 

"We  beliexe  in  fair  competition  as 
far  as  wages  are  concerned,  but  we 
don't  want  to,  nor  can  we.  compete 
with  the  unrealistic  wage  level  existing 
in    Taiwan.   Spain   and   Hong   Kong." 

He  then  told  the  convention  that 
the  AFL-CIO  has  set  up  a  task  force. 
He  is  a  member  of  it.  and  both  as 
AFL-CIO  vice-president  and  president 
of  the  United  Rubherworkers  "with 
a  healthy  and  \igorous  membership 
here  in  Canada.  I  will  do  everything 
possible  to  insure  that  the  new  trade 
bill  will  provide  fair  trade  with  Can- 
ada." 

That  was  good  communication. 
More  of  it  is  needed.  Mr.  Bommarito's 
speech  and  the  Canadian  position 
should  be  published  side  by  side. 

Intelligent  dialogue  can  lead  to 
better  understanding. 

Business  Handouts 
In  Federal  Budget 

The  federal  budget  for  the  current 
fiscal  year  was  introduced  into  the 
House  of  Commons  in  May.  It  did 
what  Canadian  governments  have  been 
doing  for  many  years.  It  gave  more 
handouts  to  big  business. 

The  Trudeau  government,  through 
its  new  finance  minister.  Montrealer 
John  Turner,  is  distributing  a  total  of 
$850  million  in  two  ways:  $500  mil- 
lion is  going  to  the  manufacturing  and 
processing  industries  in  tax  write-offs 
and  cuts:  $350  million  is  going  to  old 
age  pensioners  and  disadvantaged  per- 
sons. 

As  Turner  explained  it.  the  "bo- 
nanza for  big  business"  as  the  Toronto 


16 


THE    CARPENTER 


Star  called  it,  is  supposed  to  provide 
jobs.  But  there  is  absolutely  no  assur- 
ance that  the  money  will  be  used  in 
that  way  and  not  put  into  the  pockets 
of  stockholders. 

And  why  should  a  multi-national 
corporation  like  General  Motors  get 
a  windfall  of  perhaps  $15  million 
from  the  Canadian  government? 

What  the  budget  has  done  is  shift 
more  of  the  tax  load  from  corpora- 
tions to  individuals.  As  the  corpora- 
tion tax  is  reduced,  the  personal  in- 
come tax  will  go  up,  by  3%  Jan.  1, 
1973.  The  company  tax  break  was 
made  effective  immediately. 

About  20  years  ago  the  govern- 
ment took  about  the  same  percentage 
of  taxes  from  the  corporate  sector  and 
from  individual  tax  payers.  Now  per- 
sonal income  tax  accounts  for  about 
four  times  as  much  as  corporate  taxes. 

As  for  pensioners,  they  get  little. 
Most  of  them  will  get  only  $2.88  more 
per  month  on  top  of  the  basic  pension 
of  $80.  This  is  to  make  up  for  the 
increase  in  cost  of  living  to  the  end  of 
1971. 

Pensioners  with  little  or  no  other 
income,  do  better.  The  single  person 
will  get  $1  50  a  month,  up  $1 5;  married 
pensioners,  both  over  age  65,  will  get 
$285  a  month. 

From  now  on  living  cost  adjust- 
ments will  be  made  every  April. 

One  serious  fault  in  the  plan  is  that 
a  married  couple  with  only  one  per- 
son over  65  will  get  only  a  single 
pension  of  $150  (if  they  are  virtually 
destitute). 

Another  is  that  the  pensionable  age 
has  not  been  reduced  to  60.  With 
heavy  unemployment  continuing,  a 
demand  is  growing  for  a  lower  pen- 
sionable age. 

U.S.-Canadian  Forces 
Fastest  Growing 

The  new  federal  minister  of  labor 
Martin  O'Connell  told  an  industrial 
relations  conference  that  between  1 967 
and  1980,  Canada's  population  will 
have  grown  about  3  million. 

This  will  mean  a  growth  in  the  labor 
force  of  close  to  50%  so  that  250,000 
new  jobs  have  to  be  found  every  year. 

In  comparison,  the  labor  force  in 
the  United  States  is  expected  to  in- 
crease by  29.5%  in  the  same  period; 
Britain  by  only  4%,  France  by  13.5%, 
Germany  5.5%,  Italy  1.7%  and 
Sweden  just  0.3%. 

The  fact  that  the  labor  force  in 
Canada  and  in  the  United  States  will 

JULY,    1972 


grow  faster  than  in  other  countries 
will  make  the  problem  more  difficult 
on  this  side  of  the  water. 

An  additional  factor  to  take  into 
account  is  the  increasing  number  of 
women  entering  the  labor  force. 

Job  Security 

Is  Now  Key  Issue 

Labor  Minister  O'Connell  also  told 
his  listeners,  most  of  them  experts  in 
industrial  relations,  that  unemploy- 
ment is  making  job  security  a  major 
issue  at  the  bargaining  table. 

Union  leadership  is  under  pressure 
to  include  "no-layoffs"  and  other 
schemes  for  job  protection  in  their 
demands. 

This  has  led  to  more  conflict  in 
some  areas  where  technological  change 
is  rapid  as  in  telecommunications. 

Technological  change,  said  O'Con- 
nell, may  be  good  for  the  nation,  but 
it  can  be  pretty  shattering  for  indi- 
viduals who  lose  their  jobs. 

So  the  cost  of  technological  change 
must  be  borne,  not  by  the  individual, 
but  by  those  who  stand  to  benefit 
most. 

CLC  Calls  For 
Higher  Wage  Base 

The  Canadian  Labor  Congress  con- 
vention adopted  a  resolution  which 
urged  its  affiliates  to  exert  pressure  on 
governments  for  a  $2.50  minimum 
wage  with  an  escalator  clause. 

The  federal  minimum  wage  is  now 
$1.75  an  hour.  Most  workers  are  cov- 
ered by  provincial  minimum  wage 
legislation  which  varies  between  $1.50 
and  $1.75  an  hour. 

Conservative  Hits 
Federal  Housing 

It  was  most  unusual  for  a  Con- 
servative member  of  parliament,  but 
one  of  them,  Robert  McCleave,  of 
Halifax,  condemned  federal  housing 
policies  on  one  ground:  he  said  the 
average  purchaser  of  a  $30,000  home 
in  Canada  will  have  paid  a  total  of 
$103,000  for  his  home  by  the  time  it 
is  paid  off. 

Naturally  as  a  Conservative  what 
he  didn't  say  was  this  high  cost  is  due 
to  the  exorbitant  rates  of  interest  now 
being  charged  on  mortgages.  They've 
come  down  from  10%  to  about  9%, 
but  latest  news  is  that  the  first  mort- 
gage rate  is  going  back  up — to  10%.

Wins  State  Contest 

Ronald  Bruder,  22,  won  the  statewide 
competition  for  carpenter  apprentices  at 
the  recent  Missouri  State  Council  of  Car- 
penters Meeting.  Bruder  is  a  member  of 
Local  1739,  St.  Louis. 

The  state  contest  was  sponsored  by 
the  United  Brotherhood,  the  AFL-CIO, 
Associated  General  Contractors,  and  the 
National  Association  of  Home  Builders. 
A  four-member  panel  of  carpenters  and 
contractors  decided  unanimously  on  Bru- 
der's  win. 

Competition  for  the  fourth-year  ap- 
prentices lasted  a  day  and  a  half.  The 
first  day  was  spent  in  building  a  small 
house  from  blueprints.  A  four-hour  writ- 
ten examination  was  held  the  next  day. 

Bruder  works  for  the  Emmendorfer 
Construction  Co.  in  St.  Louis.  He  is  now 
entitled  to  represent  the  State  of  Mis- 
souri in  the  International  apprenticeship 
competition  in  August.  .

THE    CARPENTER 


From  Job  Corpsman 
To  Journeyman 

BY   WILDA    HAYNES 

■  On  March  17,  1971,  Paul  Jon 
Lundberg  of  Lehigh,  Iowa,  arrived  at 
Pine  Ridge  Civil  Conservation  Center, 
Chadron.  Neb.,  as  an  enroUee  in  the 
Job  Corps  Training  program.  Today 
he  is  serving  an  apprenticeship  with 
Dilly  Construction  Company  of  Rapid 
City.  S.D.  He  is  presently  working  on 
the  Hot  Springs  Housing  Project. 

Upon  completion  of  the  orientation 
program  at  the  center,  Lundberg  chose 
carpentry  as  his  vocation  and  entered 
a  pre-apprenticeship  training  program 
of  the  Brotherhood  of  Carpenters  and 
Joiners  of  America.  During  his  Job 
Corps  training  at  Pine  Ridge  he  also 
received  his  high  school  diploma  in  addi- 
tion to  his  vocational  training.  The  cur- 
riculum inckided  almost  all  of  the  basic 
skills  of  the  trade,  plus  actual  on-the-job 
training.  He  worked  on  a  building  for  the 
U.  S.  Forest  Service  "from  the  ground 
up." 

Lundberg  scored  106.98  in  the  appren- 
ticeship qualifying  test,  the  highest  score 
to  date  at  Pine  Ridge.  At  the  time  of  his 
placement.  November  17,  1971,  he  had  a 
total  of  854  training  hours. 

In  visiting  Lundberg  at  his  new  appren- 
tice-training job,  we  found  him  happy  in 
his  work  and  enthusiastic  about  working 
with  Dale  Banck,  journeyman  from 
Rapid  City. 

Jon  attributes  his  success  thus  far  to  the 
services  available  through  the  Job  Corps 
Program  and  the  United  Brotherhood  of 
Carpenters  and  Joiners  of  America.  He 
feels  young  men  between  the  ages  of  16- 
21  who  are  unemployed  and  lacking  a 
skill  should  look  into  the  possibility  of 
Job  Corps  enlistment,  with  "an  eye  to  the 
union  carpentry  program." 

Last  December,  Jon  married  a  young 
woman  of  Chadron,  the  former  Peggy 
Hoist.  They  now  live  in  Rapid  City,  and 
Jon  is  a  member  of  Local  2027,  Rapid 
City,  S.D.  ■

THE    CARPENTER 


Ecology  Challenge 

Continued  from  Page  3 

horizon  for  the  home  building  indus- 
try. In  a  way,  the  industry  has  made 
its  own  contributions  to  the  pollu- 
tion picture  and  thereby  incurred 
the  wrath  of  environmentalists  and 
public  alike. 

Too  often  in  the  past,  a  devel- 
oper has  bulldozed  down  every  liv- 
ing piece  of  flora  on  a  development 
site.  The  result  has  been  too  much 
erosion,  which  contributed  to  the 
silting  of  streams  and  rivers.  I  be- 
lieve that  henceforth  some  prompt 
sodding  ought  to  be  required  in  situ- 
ations where  erosion  is  a  threat. 
Then,  too,  greater  consideration 
ought  to  be  given  to  saving  trees. 
While  this  may  increase  costs 
slightly,  it  ought  to  balance  itself 
out  in  respect  to  land  clearing  costs, 
as  in  some  areas  it  did  cost  five 
hundred  dollars  per  acre  for  burn- 
ing stumpage  and  trees.  Under  the 
present  requirements  of  hauling  the 
trees  out  of  the  area,  the  cost  is 
estimated  at  twenty-five  hundred 
dollars  per  acre. 

Saving  Trees 

Few  people  realize  that  saving  a 
tree  during  construction  is  a  difficult 
business  because  any  radical  dis- 
turbing of  the  topography  by  adding 
or  detracting  topsoil  often  results 
in  the  death  of  the  tree.  However, 
the  effort  to  save  trees  should  be 
made  as  often  as  possible  as  a  pub- 
lic contribution  to  a  better  environ- 
ment. 

In  the  final  analysis,  the  obliga- 
tion of  our  industry  to  making  life 
richer  and  better  for  all  Americans 
transcends  any  narrow  preoccupa- 
tion with  profits  or  jobs.  There  is  no 
doubt  in  my  mind  but  that  Ameri- 
can technology  and  know-how  which 
created  the  mightiest  industrial  em- 
pire ever  conceived  by  the  mind  of 
man  can  solve  the  problem  of  a 
livable  environment. 

For  a  hundred  years  the  inge- 
nuity and  brains  and  skill  of  our 
people  have  been  devoted  to  pro- 
ducing goods  and  consumer  prod- 
ucts that  achieved  for  us  a  standard 
of  living  undreamed  of  even  half  a 
century  ago.  All  the  emphasis  was 
on  production,  none  was  given  to 
environment. 


I  am  sure  the  same  genius  which 
created  our  mighty  record  of  pro- 
ductivity, once  it  has  been  turned 
to  environment,  can  solve  the  prob- 
lem of  pollution  in  a  relatively  short 
time. 

It  took  a  century  to  produce  the 
pollution  we  have  to  contend  with 
today.  I  am  confident  that  in  five 
to  ten  years  the  means  for  bringing 
pollution  into  acceptable  standards 
will  be  achieved,  if  the  public  can 
be  persuaded  to  accept  the  price, 
and  no  one  should  overlook  the 
fact  that  a  price  is  involved.  So 
long  as  one  can  can  drive  a  400 
horsepower  car  to  work,  there  is 
bound  to  be  pollution  beyond  the 
point  that  common  sense  dictates. 
So  long  as  we  use  three  or  four 
gallons  of  water  to  dispose  of  a  cup- 
ful of  urine,  we  can  expect  a  crisis 
in  our  water  supply  in  the  not  too 
distant  future. 

As  far  as  the  home-building  in- 
dustry is  concerned,  I  think  it  faces 
a  challenge  it  can  meet  without  too 
much  difficulty.  I  mentioned  before 
that  more  emphasis  needs  to  be 
given  to  controlling  soil  erosion  dur- 
ing construction.  There  needs  to  be 
more  attention  paid  to  saving  trees 
on  construction  sites. 

Many  constructive  steps  have  al- 
ready been  taken.  The  cluster  con- 
cept of  layout  offers  considerable 
promise  for  producing  more  livable 
communities.  It  needs  to  be  given 
additional  study. 

The  Sun's  Power 

The  use  of  solar  heat  needs  to  be 
given  additional  study.  The  more 
the  power  of  the  sun  can  be  used 
directly  to  heat  water  or  houses 
themselves,  the  less  fossil  fuels  need 
to  be  used.  Consequently,  pollution 
can  be  reduced  to  that  extent.  Better 
insulation  can  achieve  the  same  re- 
sults, and  therefore,  some  experi- 
mentation in  this  area  needs  to  be 
developed. 

In  closing,  I  believe  that  the  years 
ahead  will  dump  many  serious  prob- 
lems into  our  laps.  However,  none 
of  them  should  be  insurmountable. 
An  industry  that  can  build  two  mil- 
lion houses  in  a  single  year  cer- 
tainly can  overcome  the  problems 
presented  by  the  demands  of  the 
nation  for  a  better  environment.  ■

Pruitt-lgoe 

Continued  from  Page  5 

the  time.  Children  who  lived  on 
the  II th  floor,  however,  often  could 
not  get  home  in  time  from  the  play- 
ground and  first  floor  where  there 
were  no  toilets.  Elderly  occupants 
found  the  stairways  between  floors 
too  difficult  and  unsafe,  especially 
when  the  elevator  was  out  of  order. 
Bottom  floors  of  the  high-rise  were 
largely  uninhabited,  vandalized,  and 
boarded  up. 

Ten  years  later,  Pruitt-lgoe  was 
almost  one-third  empty.  More  than 
half  of  the  occupants  were  welfare 
recipients,  with  a  notable  scarcity 
of  adult  males.  Broken  families  were 
added  to  the  toll  of  broken  windows 
and  broken  elevators,  not  to  men- 
tion the  broken  spirit  of  Pruitt-lgoe. 
Eleven  thousand  people,  most  of 
them  children  still  cramped  for 
space,  lived  and  played  as  best  they 
could  in  a  concrete  canyon.  The 
proposed  solution  for  this  human 
misery:  federal  approval  for  a  $7,- 
000,000  renovation  campaign. 

With  more  money  being  pumped 


in,  cosmetic  repairs  were  made,  bar- 
becue pits  built,  shrubs  planted,  and 
unbreakable  lighting  installed.  The 
result:  more  and  more  people  moved 
out  until  recently  only  600  of  the 
original  2,900  housing  units  were 
occupied. 

Confronted  with  the  failure  of 
Pruitt-lgoe,  representatives  from  the 
Department  of  Housing  and  Urban 
Development  (HUD)  recently  toured 
the  deteriorated  area  with  officials 
from  the  St.  Louis  Housing  Author- 
ity. Their  first  step  was  to  launch 
a  cost  analysis  of  renovating  once 
again  the  high-rise  slums. 

A  three-prong  approach  towards 
lowering  the  population  density  of 
Pruitt-lgoe  is  currently  being  con- 
sidered. Some  of  the  structures  will 
be  totally  demolished  by  dynamite, 
as  long  as  such  a  procedure  does  not 
bring  down  adjoining  buildings  also. 
Other  buildings  will  be  renovated 
conventionally  by  workers,  retaining 
all  1 1  floors  and  eliminating  the 
skip-stop  elevators.  But  most  of  the 
high-rises  will  be  cropped  to  less 
than  half  size.  The  top  six  or  eight 
stories  will  be  removed,  possibly  by 


dynamite.  The  estimated  cost  of  this 
latest  attempt  of  renovation  exceeds 
the  origianl  cost  of  Pruitt-lgoe  by 
three  million  dollars. 

"The  Pruitt-lgoe  project  was  con- 
sidered the  ultimate  in  public  hous- 
ing, but  stands  as  one  of  the  largest 
failures  of  federally  sponsored  hous- 
ing," the  UPI  said  in  April  of  this 
year.  "Government  and  taxpayers 
are  swindled  by  get-rich-quick  spec- 
ulators, who  turn  handsome  profits 
through  'flagrant  abuses'  of  housing 
programs,  graft  and  corruption  with 
aid  of  dishonest  associates — Federal 
Housing  Administration  appraisers, 
credit  and  mortgage  people." 

Pruitt-lgoe  is  only  a  case  history 
of  what  has  happened  to  other  pub- 
lic housing  projects  in  the  past  few 
years.  Similar  problems  exist  in  New 
York,  Philadelphia,  Chicago,  De- 
troit, and  Washington.  All  of  these 
cities  are  burdened  with  thousands 
of  abandoned  housing  units. 

City  planners  and  public  housing 
advocates  are  conducting  post  mor- 
tems  on  several  high-rise  slums  and 
are  asking  themselves:  which  way  do 
we  go  now?  ■

Costs  May  Zoom 

The  Postal  Rate  Commission  in  Wash- 
ington, D.C.,  has  approved  a  series  of 
increases  in  postal  rates,  one  of  which 
is  expected  to  hurt  seriously  non-profit 
union  publications  which  use  the  second 
class  mail  service. 

While  the  total  second  class  mail  in- 
crease would  be  spread  over  a  period  of 
ten  years,  the  first  step  alone  is  estimated 
to  represent  an  almost  100  percent  climb 
in  postage  costs  for  many  union  publi- 
cations. Thus  an  eight-page  tabloid  with 
no   advertising   content,    now   mailed   at

a  minimum  per  piece  charge  of  two- 
tenths  of  a  cent  plus  a  surcharge  of  four- 
hundredths  of  a  cent,  would  be  increased 
to  a  per-copy  surcharge  of  two-tenths  of 
a  cent. 

Over  the  full  ten-year  period,  the  per 
copy  surcharge  would  rise  to  1.5  cents 
and  the  pound  rate  for  non-advertising 
matter  would  go  from  the  present  2.4 
cents  to  five  cents  per  pound. 

The  Postal  Rate  Commission  lowered 
the  increase  that  had  been  proposed  by 
the  U.  S.  Postal  Service  itself,  but  even 
with  this  modification,  the  total  postal 
increase  over  the  ten  years  would  amount 
to  750  percent. 

The  Commission's  recommendations 
must  still  be  approved  by  the  governors 
of  the  Postal  Service.  The  House  of  Rep- 
resentatives Postal  Service  Subcommittee 
also  is  planning  to  hold  hearings  on  the 
rate  increases  at  which  the  AFL-CIO  is

WILLIAM  SIDELL,  General  President 


Exploding  Technology  and  Human  Values 


■  For  the  past  eight  years  Harvard  University 
has  been  conducting  a  study  of  our  exploding  tech- 
nology and  the  implications  for  society  that  arise 
therefrom. 

Last  month,  the  committee  making  the  study 
issued  its  final  report.  When  all  the  data  developed 
by  the  study  are  pulled  together,  they  will  result 
in  some  29  books  and  164  articles  in  scholarly 
magazines. 

Many  of  the  conclusions  reached  by  the  study 
fall  in  the  category  of  nit-picking.  However,  there 
is  a  great  deal  of  food  for  thought  in  some  of  the 
findings. 

Running  through  the  report  is  one  basic  spinal 
column;  namely,  that  the  changes  brought  on  by 
technological  advances  create  problems  which  can 
be  solved  only  by  political  means. 

Technology  is  making  longer  life  possible 
through  organ  transplants.  Much  as  an  engine  can 
be  rebuilt  by  the  replacement  of  a  carburetor  or 
cam  shaft,  the  human  body  sometimes  can  be 
given  a  new  lease  on  life  by  an  organ  transplant. 

The  science  of  transplanting  organs  is  still  in  its 
infancy,  and  eventually  a  mechanical  heart  or  me- 
chanical lungs  may  be  developed.  But,  until  such 
time  as  these  man-made  devices  can  be  perfected, 
the  number  of  transplants  that  can  be  achieved  is 
limited  by  the  number  of  living  organs  available. 

This  raises  a  moral  and  sociological  problem. 
Who  should  be  given  priority  for  available  or- 
gans; those  who  have  the  ability  to  pay  or  those 
who  have  the  greatest  need  regardless  of  financial 
status? 

The  Harvard  researchers  also  found  that  tech- 
nology is  making  human  beings,  as  well  as  ma- 
chines, obsolete.  In  professions  and  industries 
which  are  in  the  forefront  of  technological  change 
people  can  no  longer  continue  to  live  off  the  intel- 


lectual capital  they  accumulated  in  high  school  or 
college,  or  even  apprenticeship  training. 

The  whole  educational  structure  undoubtedly 
will  have  to  be  revamped  within  the  next  decade 
to  take  care  of  the  growing  obsolescence  of  human 
beings  brought  about  by  technological  change. 

This  raises  another  basic  question.  Since  the 
technological  growth  is  based  almost  entirely  on 
the  drive  of  corporations  for  larger  profits,  how 
can  its  impact  on  human  beings  be  made  more 
acceptable? 

The  difficulty  is  that  the  polluters  have  more 
political  muscle  than  those  who  have  to  live  with 
the  pollution.  Until  such  time  as  the  people  who 
pay  the  price  for  pollution  without  really  deriving 
any  of  the  benefits  organize  themselves  sufficiently 
to  counteract  the  political  influences  of  the  pol- 
luters, a  serious  problem  will  exist. 

So  there  needs  to  be  a  good  deal  of  attention 
paid  to  the  economic  costs  of  eliminating  the  ad- 
verse components  of  technology.  People  must  have 
jobs.  Jobs  mostly  depend  on  power.  Power  depends 
to  a  large  degree  on  sources  that  produce  pollution. 
As  a  result,  technology  is  challenging  the  values  of 
society.  Rugged  individualism  can  no  longer  be 
given  free  rein  in  a  society  in  which  every  act  in- 
creasingly brings  about  unforeseen  consequences 
on  third  parties,  consequences  which  often  are  in- 
jurious to  health  of  people  or  beauty  of  our  sur- 
roundings. 

What  the  Harvard  study  concludes  is  that  policy 
decisions  regarding  the  applications  of  future  tech- 
nology will  have  to  be  more  broadly  based  with 
the  greatest  good  for  the  greatest  number  receiving 
paramount  consideration.  This  coincides  with  the 
aims  of  organized  labor— a  fact  that  seems  to  indi- 
cate a  major  role  for  unions  in  properly  channeling 
the  future  of  technology.  ■

Public-spirited  persons  now  can  help  to  combat  the  most  serious  of  all 

drug-related  problems — heroin  addiction.  By  calling  a  toll-free  number 

in  Washington,  D.C.,  any  person  with  information  on  the  traffic  of 

heroin  can  enable  law  enforcement  officials  at  every  level  to  seek  out 

and  eliminate  one  of  the  country's  fastest  growing  problems. 

Heroin  addiction  has  increased  to  tragic  proportions  in  recent  years. 

There  were  only  about  50,000  people  addicted  to  heroin  in  1960. 

Today  there  are  half  a  million.  Heroin  addiction  is  now  of 

epidemic  proportions. 

The  most  distressing  aspect  of  the  new  menace  is  the  spread  of 

heroin  use  to  the  young  and  the  ignorant.  Unsuspecting  persons, 

mostly  young,  have  turned  themselves  into  hardened  criminals  in  order 

to  support  a  $100-a-day  habit  which  they  cannot  break  without 

professional  assistance.  A  call  to  Heroin  Hot  Line  can  dry  up  the  user's 

source  and  force  him  to  seek  professional  aid. 

The  Hot  Line  can  also  help  to  prevent  further  addiction  to  heroin,  if  the 

trafficker  is  caught  in  time.  At  present,  no  school  or  street  in  America 

is  safe  from  the  pusher,  who  must  often  addict  others  to  support  his  own 

habit. 

Calls  to  HEROIN  HOT  LINE  are  handled  by  trained  workers  24  hours  a  day, 

seven  days  a  week.  All  information  will  be  handled  confidentially,  and 

the  caller  need  not  identify  himself.  Pertinent  information  is  then  relayed 

to  the  special  Drug  Abuse  Law  Enforcement  (DALE)  task  force  created  by 

the  President  earlier  this  year. 

At  press  time,  a  one  ton  shipment  of  heroin  from  Southeast  Asia  is 

expected  to  enter  the  country  illegally  by  various  routes,  according  to 

federal  authorities.  Whether  this  shipment  reaches  the  streets  or  not 

may  depend  on  citizen  response  to  the  Heroin  Hot  Line.

THE   COVER 

Our  cover  this  month  shows  a  few 
of  the  skills  of  carpentry  demon- 
strated at  the  1972  Festival  of  Ameri- 
can Folklife. 

The  Mall  area  (upper  left  and  right 
photos)  in  front  of  the  Smithsonian 
Institution,  Washington,  D.C.,  was 
filled  with  exhibits,  displays,  and 
shows  featuring  the  Southwest  Ameri- 
can Indians,  the  state  of  Maryland, 
and  organized  labor.  This  was  the 
second  consecutive  year  that  labor 
unions  were  featured  at  the  annual 
show,  which  always  attracts  thousands 
of  visitors. 

The  United  Brotherhood  of  Car- 
penters and  Joiners  was  one  of  five 
labor  unions  showing  the  processes 
and  products  of  their  trades.  The  bot- 
tom middle  picture  shows  Governor 
Marvin  Mandel  (right)  of  Maryland 
talking  with  Jim  Tinkcom,  Technical 
Director  of  Apprenticeship  and  Train- 
ing, and  William  Champ,  one  of  Gov- 
ernor Mandel's  constituents  and  a  con- 
testant in  the  1971  Carpenter  Ap- 
prenticeship Contest.  The  other  photos 
show  the  skilled  hands  of  prize-win- 
ning Carpenter  apprentices.

Can  the  American  Worker  Weather  the  Storm?

Legislation  is  needed  noiv  to  remove  the  tax  subsidies  and  other 
incentives  that  encourage  U.S.  companies  to  move  plants  overseas 


■  The  American  economy  is  in 
trouble  at  home  and  abroad.  The  de- 
terioration of  the  American  position 
in  international  trade  resulted  in  the 
net  loss  of  about  900,000  job  op- 
portunities from  1966  to  1971.  The 
situation  is  worsening  at  present. 
The  industrial  base  of  the  American 
economy  is  being  undermined.  .  .  . 

Merchandise  imports  were  $2.9 
billion  greater  than  exports  in  1971, 
according  to  the  Commerce  Depart- 
ment's official  accounting — the  first 
reported  trade  deficit  since  1893. 
This  deficit  jumped  to  a  yearly  rate 
of  $6.5  billion  in  the  January-March 
quarter  of  1972.  Many  more  jobs 
are  being  wiped  out  by  the  rising 
tide  of  imports  than  are  involved  in 
exports. 

Between  1965  and  1970,  there 
was  a  loss  of  122,500  jobs  in  radio, 
TV  and  electronic  component  pro- 
duction, according  to  the  industry 
association.  Scores  of  thousands  of 
additional  jobs  have  been  wiped  out 
in  a  rapidly  spreading  number  of 
industries.  Communities  throughout 
the  country  are  adversely  affected. 

Increased  Imports 

Estimates  indicate  that,  last  year, 
imports  of  autos  were  about  20  per 
cent  of  the  U.S.  market,  TV  receiv- 
ers more  than  30  per  cent,  radios 
and  tape  recorders  more  than  90 
per  cent,  sewing  machines  and  cal- 
culating machines  nearly  60  per  cent, 
cassettes  100  per  cent  and  baseball 
mitts  about  90  per  cent.  Similarly, 
large  proportions  of  U.S.  produc- 
tion of  other  industries  are  being 
displaced  —  typewriters  and  shirts, 
industrial  equipment  and  knit  goods, 
pianos  and  steel,  tires  and  work 
clothes,  shoes,  textiles,  and  glass- 
ware. 

This  process,  which  displaces 
U.S.  production  and  employment, 
often  results  in  very  little,  if  any, 
price  benefit  to  the  consumer,  who 
is  also  a  wage  or  salary  earner.  Im- 
ports are  sold  at  the  American  price 
or  close  to  it.  So  the  economy  loses 
a  growing  part  of  its  productive 
base,  workers  lose  their  jobs,  while

the  benefits  go  to  profits.  More- 
over, the  recent  devaluation  of  the 
American  dollar — which  was  loudly 
advertised  as  the  solution  to  these 
problems  —  has  actually  contrib- 
uted to  the  continuing  inflation  that 
plagues  the  American  people.  And 
the  U.S.  position  in  the  world  econ- 
omy continues  to  get  worse. 

This  deterioration  has  been  ac- 
celerated in  the  past  decade.  Im- 
ports of  manufactured  products 
more  than  quadrupled  between  1960 
and  1971  —  from  $6.9  bilUon  to 
$30.4  billion.  In  the  January-March 
quarter  of  1972,  manufactured  im- 
ports were  up  to  a  yearly  rate  of 
$35.9  billion.  Moreover,  in  1960, 
such  imports  were  only  about  half 
the  level  of  manufactured  exports; 
by  the  first  quarter  of  this  year,  the 
United  States  imported  a  greater 
volume  of  manufactured  goods  than 
it  exported.  The  major  causes  of  this 
deterioration  are  the  following: 

1.  In  the  world  of  the  1970s, 
nations  manage  their  economies. 
Other  comitries  have  direct  and  in- 
direct subsidies  for  their  exports 
plus  direct  and  indirect  barriers  to 
imports.  The  result  is  that  foreign 
products  surge  into  the  huge  Amer- 
ican market,  while  U.S.  exports  are 
often  blocked  or  their  expansion  is 
retarded. 

2.  The  export  of  American  tech- 
nology has  been  reducing  or  elimi- 
nating America's  technology  and 
productivity  leadership  in  many  in- 
dustries and  product  lines.  U.S. 
firms  have  transferred  American 
technology  and  know-how  to  their 
foreign  subsidiary  plants. 

As  a  result,  foreign  plants,  oper- 
ating with  American  technology, 
probably  are  nearly  as  efficient  as 
similar  factories  in  the  U.S.  But 
employment  costs  frequently  are  50 
to  90  per  cent  lower,  and  there  may 
be  the  additional  advantages  of 
lower  taxes  and  operating  in  mar- 


kets protected  by  foreign  govern- 
ments. 

3.  Sharply  rising  investments  of 
U.S.  companies  in  foreign  subsidi- 
aries have  been  key  factors  in  the 
export  of  American  technology  and 
the  loss  of  American  jobs.  Direct 
investments  of  U.S.  firms  in  foreign 
facilities  shot  up  from  $3.8  billion 
in  1960  to  about  $15  billion  in 
1971.  The  book  value  of  such  In- 
vestments in  foreign  facilities  rose 
from  almost  $32  billion  in  1960  to 
more  than  $78  billion  in  1971. 

Although  an  estimated  25,000 
foreign  affiliates  are  controlled  by 
about  3,500  U.S.  corporations,  the 
bulk  of  these  foreign  operations  is 
highly  concentrated  among  the  cor- 
porate giants.  Prof.  Peggy  Musgrave 
of  Northeastern  University  reports 
that,  in  1966,  "Over  80  per  cent  of 
taxable  income  which  U.S.  corpora- 
tions received  from  foreign  sources 
• . .  went  to  430  corporations  with 
asset  size  in  excess  of  $250  million." 

Foreign  Sales 
The  Chase  Manhattan  Bank's 
newsletter  reported  last  year  that 
"foreign  sales  of  U.S.  affiliates  in 
manufacturing  alone  totalled  almost 
$60  billion  in  1968  and  are  esti- 
mated at  between  $70  and  $75  bil- 
lion in  1970."  That  is  more  than 
twice  the  volume  of  exports  of  man- 
ufactured goods  from  the  U.S. 

4.  The  mushrooming  growth  of 
multinational  corporations,  most  of 
them  U.S.-based,  is  a  new  factor  in 
the  accelerating  deterioration  of  the 
American  position  in  the  world 
economy. 

A  U.S.-based  multinational  cor- 
poration can  produce  components 
in  widely  separated  plants  in  Korea, 
Taiwan  and  the  U.S.,  assemble  the 
product  in  Mexico  and  sell  the  item 
in  the  U.S.  at  American  prices,  pos- 
sibly with  an  American-brand  name. 
Or  the  item  is  produced  and  sold 
in  foreign  markets,  in  competition 
with  U.S.-made  products.

The  Metric  System: 

Is  America  Ready  For  It? 

■  Nine  out  of  ten  manufacturers  say  yes 

■  Organized  labor  has  some  reservations 


In  a  sporadic  and  piecemeal  fashion, 
the  metric  system  is  already  becoming  a 
part  of  American  society. 


■  Which  is  greater:  meter  or  yard? 
Hter  or  quart?  100  degrees  Celsius 
or  100  degrees  Fahrenheit?  one  kilo- 
gram or  one  pound? 

Americans  may  have  to  know  the 
answers  within  a  decade  if  Congress 
decides  to  "go  metric."  (The  metric 
quantities  are  greater  than  the  stand- 
ard quantities  given  above.)  At  pres- 
ent, the  United  States  and  Canada 
are  the  only  major  countries  of  the 
world  still  using  the  British  measures 
and  weights.  Even  Great  Britain  is 
abandoning  the  old  system.  Today, 
90  percent  of  the  world's  population 
uses  the  metric  system. 

The  metric  system  came  out  of  the 
French  Revolution  in  the  late  eigh- 
teenth century,  based  upon  the  natu- 
ral order  of  the  world.  A  meter,  the 
central  unit  of  measure,  was  defined 
as  an  even  fraction  of  the  earth's 
circumference.  By  1900  most  of  the 
European  countries  were  using  the 
new,  uniform  system  based  on  meas- 
ures of  10. 

The  United  States  continued  to 
use  an  ancient  system  of  measure- 
ment based  upon  barleycorns, 
wheatcorns,  and  rough  equivalencies 
to  the  human  foot,  armlength  and 
stride.  Such  a  practice  persisted 
since  colonial  days,  although  coin- 
age was  based  upon  decimal  ratios. 
Thomas  Jefferson  proposed  a  rudi- 
mentary form  of  the  metric  system 
in  the  early  days  of  the  country,  and 
John  Ouincy  Adams  urged  Congress 
to  "go  metric"  in  1821.  Neither  pro- 
posal was  acted  upon,  but  in  1866 
metric  measures  and  weights  were 
declared  legal  in  the  United  States. 
Since  then  the  two  different  systems 
were  used  and  taught  in  varying 
degrees,  and  proposals  for  a  single 
uniform  system  have  been  rejected. 


THE    CARPENTER 


When  the  Russians  launched  the 
first  satellite,  Sputnik,  in  1957,  the 
U.S.  Government  decided  to  in- 
crease the  use  of  the  metric  system, 
the  predominant  measurement  of 
science.  Now,  the  language  of  the 
military  is  metric.  Hill  505,  for  ex- 
ample, is  505  meters  high.  Troop 
advancements  are  measured  in  kil- 
ometers and  ammunition  in  milli- 
meters. Two  years  ago  the  National 
Aeronautics  and  Space  Administra- 
tion (NASA)  decided  to  issue  docu- 
ments and  reports  in  International 
Metric. 

Metric  weights  and  measurements 
are  already  a  part  of  American  life. 
Athletes  know  that  swimming  pools 
are  measured  in  meters  and  skis  in 
centimeters.  Photography  buffs  or- 
der 8  millimeter  movie  film  and  35 
millimeter  slides.  Automobile  parts, 
foreign  and  domestic,  often  specify 
metric  tools  and  instruments.  Your 
favorite  radio  station  is  registered 
in  megahertz  (formerly  megacycles) 
if  it  is  FM,  kilohertz  if  it  is  AM.  A 
doctor  measures  blood  pressure  met- 
rically, and  the  pharmacist  uses 
grams  or  milligrams  to  fill  the  doc- 
tor's prescription. 

Some  measurements  are  common 
to  both  systems.  Electric  current, 
light  intensity,  and  time  are  meas- 
ured uniformly  in  amperes,  candela, 
and  seconds.  (Experiments  with  a 
ten-hour  clock  and  a  decimal  calen- 
dar have  failed.  For  a  time  during 
the  Revolution,  Frenchmen  lived  on 
a  ten-day  week  but  soon  reverted 
back  to  "God's  time,"  the  168-hour 
week.) 

Last  year  the  U.S.  Department  of 
Commerce  and  the  National  Bureau 
of  Standards  presented  the  results 
of  a  three-year,  $2.5-million  study 
on  the  feasability  of  switching  to  the 
metric  system.  The  conclusion  of  the 
committee  is  contained  in  the  title 
of  their  report:  "A  Metric  America: 
A  Decision  Whose  Time  Has 
Come."  Some  of  the  highlights  of 
the  report: 

•  The  U.S.  should  begin  a  10- 
year  metric  conversion  period  as 
soon  as  possible. 

•  Going  metric  would  increase 
1975  exports  by  about  $600  million. 

•  A  survey  of  representative 
American  companies  shows  that 
about  10  percent  of  the  firms  already 
use  some  form  of  the  metric  system 


ATTENTION 


Foreign  imports  and  even  some 
American  automobiles  now  have 
metric  specifications. 


Metric  is  the  language  for  a  growing 
number  of  engineers  and  scientists. 


Many  machines  can  be  converted  to 
metric  by  simple  adjustment  or  a 
conversion  kit. 


involving  about  30  percent  of  their 
personnel. 

•  More  than  90  percent  of  the 
manufacturers  surveyed  favor  some 
form  of  planned  metric  conversion. 
The  majority  of  them  favor  a  man- 
datory rather  than  a  voluntary  pro- 
gram. 

•  "In  the  final  analysis,  however, 
the  important  point  is  that  it  will  be 
less  costly  and  the  benefits  will  come 
sooner,  if  the  nation  changes  to  met- 
ric by  plan  rather  than  leaving  the 
change  to  chance." 

School  children  would  probably 
benefit  most  from  the  simpler  meth- 
od of  arithmetic  based  on  the  deci- 
mal system  and  compatable  with  the 
"new  math"  techniques.  Eventually 
they  would  not  have  to  learn  a  dual 
set  of  weights  and  measurements. 
Their  textbooks,  most  of  which  con- 
tain at  least  some  metric,  are 
changed  every  few  years  anyway. 

The  hardest  hit  by  metric  conver- 
sion would  be  small  businesses  and 
workingmen.  Other  groups  would 
not  suffer  as  much.  The  Department 
of  Defense  is  expected  to  ask  for  an 
additional  $18-biOion  from  taxpay- 
ers to  cover  their  conversion  costs. 
Manufacturers  will  take  further  ad- 
vantage of  accelerated  depreciation 
for  machinery  and  investment  tax 
credits.  Multinational  corporations, 
in  addition  to  existing  tax  breaks, 
will  benefit  greatly  from  a  uniform 
measurement  system  for  their  inter- 
national sales.  "Even  under  the  pres- 
ent tax  laws,"  says  the  metric  study 
committee,  "metric  conversion  costs 
would  be  tax  deductible." 

Only  two  segments  of  society — 
labor  and  non-manufacturing  busi- 
ness— were  not  studied  closely  in  the 
"Metric  America"  report,  although 
these  two  segments  represent  the 
vast  majority  of  people  affected  by 
the  switchover  to  metric.  Nonmanu- 
facturing  businesses  account  for 
two-thirds  of  total  U.S.  employment 
in  construction,  trade,  and  services. 
A  telephone  survey  of  less  than 
3,000  non-manufacturing  businesses 
(of  a  total  11,000,000  in  the  U.S.) 
was  inconclusive,  according  to  the 
report.  No  dollar  estimates  wer6 
given  for  self-employed  or  union 
workingmen,  who  would  experience 
tangible  and  intangible  losses  in  met- 
tric  conversion.

America"  study,  the  AFL-CIO  con- 
vention in  Atlantic  City  in  1969 
passed  a  resolution  urging  the  new 
committee  to  calculate  the  economic 
and  educational  impact  of  metric 
conversion  on  the  worker.  Such  a 
study  was  not  taken,  so  the  AFL- 
CIO  once  again  urged  Congress  to 
pursue  the  matter.  In  February  of 
this  year  the  AFL-CIO  Executive 
Council  called  for  an  independent 
committee  to  study  the  "economic 
ramifications  of  the  proposed  con- 
version to  workers,  industry,  con- 
sumers and  the  American  economy 
in  general." 

On  March  1,  1972,  AFL-CIO 
Legislative  Representative  Kenneth 
Peterson  met  with  the  Senate  Com- 
merce Committee.  He  stated:  "What 
is  clearly  needed  then,  to  overcome 
the  failures  of  the  first  study,  is  a 
new  look  at  conversion  with  a  spe- 
cial emphasis  on  the  cost  of  such  a 
step  to  the  American  worker  and  his 
family.  Such  a  study,  made  by  a 
group  representing  a  true  cross-sec- 
tion of  American  society,  coud  be 
a  valuable  aid  for  the  Congress  in 
its  deliberation  over  conversion." 

Such  a  study  would  have  to  in- 
clude considerations  of: 

Tools.  New  tools  and  instruments 
based  on  centimeters  instead  of 
inches  will  be  needed  by  craftsmen 
and  mechanics.  U.S.  tool  companies 
may  have  to  compete  with  a  flood 
of  imported  tools  if  they  must  pro- 
duce two  sets  of  tools  based  on  two 
sets  of  measurements  during  the 
transition  period. 


Retraining.  Millions  of  workers 
will  have  to  be  trained  in  the  metric 
system  in  order  to  keep  their  jobs, 
resulting  in  a  loss  of  time  and  ex- 
pense. Apprenticeship  standards  and 
manuals  will  have  to  be  revised. 

"Loss  of  Experience."  The  safe, 
intuitive  sense  of  customary  weights 
and  measures  will  be  impaired  as 
the  worker  adjusts  to  a  new  system 
of  tools  and  measurements.  For  self- 
employed  craftsmen,  this  loss  of 
time,  safety,  and  experience  will 
mean  more  work  for  the  same  price. 

Hiring  Practices.  In  the  first  years 
of  conversion,  some  contractors 
would  require  one  or  the  other  sys- 
tem of  measurement.  Senior  crafts- 
men would  be  competing  with  met- 
rically-trained newscomers  to  the 
trade. 

Resources.  Most  large  companies 
have  technical,  financial,  and  mana- 
gerial resources  for  handling  a 
change  to  the  metric  system.  Small 
companies,  labor  unions,  and  indi- 
viduals have  no  such  resources. 

These  problems  have  not  yet  been 
dealt  with  by  any  agency,  govern- 
ment or  private.  Nevertheless,  Con- 
gress is  now  considering  two  major 
metric  proposals  based  on  the  in- 
complete "Metric  America"  study. 
An  Administration  proposal  calls  for 
a  voluntary  conversion  program  con- 
ducted over  a  ten-year  period  by  a 
National  Metric  Conversion  Board. 


The  proposal  states:  "the  general 
rule  should  be  that  any  changeover 
costs  shall  'lie  where  they  fall.' " 
Small  businesses  and  organized  labor 
strongly  oppose  such  a  measure. 

Another  proposal  for  metric  con- 
version was  made  by  Senator  Clai- 
borne Pell  (D-R.L).  His  "Metric 
Conversion  Act"  includes  provision 
for  financial  assistance  through  tax 
incentives  and  direct  grants  for  com- 
panies and  individuals.  The  Small 
Business  Administration  would  be 
empowered  to  make  grants  of  less 
than  $2,000  to  individuals  "to  de- 
fray non-reimbursable  expenses 
which  must  be  incurred  by  them 
for  the  purpose  of  acquiring  tools  or 
instruments  which  are  necessary  to 
their  continued  employment  in  a 
trade  or  business  and  are  required 
as  the  result  of  the  implementation 
of  the  national  plan  of  metric  con- 
version." However,  the  funds  for 
these  grants  would  have  to  be  appro- 
priated by  Congress,  and  until  a 
cost-study  is  made.  Congress  is  not 
likely  to  pass  this  measure. 

The  obvious  answer,  therefore,  is 
an  immediate  analysis  of  the  cost  of 
metric  conversion.  Once  all  the  fig- 
ures are  in,  Americans  can  decide 
better  on  the  merits  of  metric.  Mean- 
while they  can  enjoy  watching  John- 
ny Unitas  battle  with  6'5",  250- 
pound  tacklers  in  —20"^  F.  weather

over  labor-management  relations  in  the  baseball  industry  in  1969,  is  now 
considering  the  same  action  in  the  horse-racing  and  dog-racing  industries. 

The  KLRB  has  asked  the  two  industries,  the  government  agencies  involved  and 
labor  organizations,  including  the  APL-CIO,  to  comment  on  the  proposal  within 
the  next  60  days. 

TAX  LOOPHOLES— In  one  of  the  sharpest  labor  protests  against  tax  loopholes 
benefitting  the  wealthy  and  discriminating  against  the  poor,  the  AFL-CIO  has 
called  on  Congress  to  do  "tax  justice"  by  American  workers. 

So  unfair  is  today's  tax  system  that  a  family  of  four  with  an  income 
of  $10,000  would  pay  $905  in  taxes,  if  the  income  was  from  wages  or  salaries; 
$98,  if  the  income  was  from  capital  gains;  and  no  tax  at  all  if  from  interest 
on  state  and  local  bonds. 

RECORD  LOAD— The  National  Labor  Relations  Board  issued  a  record  866  decisions 
in  unfair  labor  practice  cases  in  the  fiscal  year  ending  June  30. 

The  total  compared  with  the  previous  high  mark  of  836  decisions  handed  down 
by  the  five-member  Board  in  fiscal  1971. 

In  addition,  the  Board  issued  477  rulings  in  employee  representation 
election  cases,  an  increase  of  54  over  the  total  a  year  earlier. 

U.S.  UNIT  LABOR  COSTS— Despite  the  propaganda  charges  that  American  labor  is 
pricing  itself  out  of  the  market,  the  U.S.  Department  of  Labor  now  reports  that 
during  1971  unit  labor  costs  in  the  United  State  rose  "less  than  one-third 
the  rates  of  increase  in  Canada,  Japan  and  most  European  countries." 

The  Bureau  of  Labor  Statistics  found  that  unit  costs  in  U.S.  manufacturing 
industries  rose  2.7  percent  as  compared  with  an  average  rise  of  4  percent  a 
year  during  the  five-year  period  between  1965  to  1970.   For  other  major 
manufacturing  countries,  the  rate  of  increase  averaged  more  than  8  percent. 

A  SOUR  NOTE— A  report  from  the  Department  of  Commerce  on  candy  sales  tells  a  lot 
about  the  problems  the  Nixon  Administration  has  been  having  with  the  economy. 

The  Department  proudly  announces  that  candy  sales  in  the  United  States 
exceeded  $2  billion  in  1971  for  the  first  time.   But  then  sweetness  turned  sour 
when  it  reported  that  per  capita  consumption  of  confections  declined  for  the 
third  straight  year. 

POSTAGE  HIKE— Union  publications  were  hit  with  staggering  postage  increases 
July  6  as  the  first  step  of  a  new  rate  schedule  went  into  effect  following 
approval  of  increases  for  all  categories  of  mail  by  the  governors  of  the  U.S. 
Postal  Service. 

The  first  step  of  the  program  adds  a  surcharge  .2  of  a  cent  per  copy  on 
second-class,  non-profit  publications,  the  classification  under  which  most  union 
newspapers  and  magazines  are  mailed  to  the  membership. 

The  effect  is  to  nearly  double  the  postage  bills  of  many  union  publications, 
plus  those  of  churches,  veterans  groups  and  other  non-profit  institutions. 

For  many  publications,  the  new  schedule  proposed  by  the  Postal  Rate 
Commission  and  approved  by  the  governors  could  mean  an  increase  in  postage  costs 
of  750  percent  or  more  over  the  next  10  years. 


AUGUST,  1972 


That's  Telling  'em,  Mrs.  L 


Editor's  Note:  After  reading  in  READER'S  DIGEST, 
an  article  credited  to  a  Mr.  Young  of  ENGINEERING 
NEWS-RECORD,  and  blaming  building  trades  unions  for 
most  of  the  increased  costs  of  construction,  Mrs.  Loving, 
wife  of  a  Brotherhood  member,  was  impelled  to  write  the 
following  letter: 

Mr.  Edward  M.  Young 
ENGINEERING  NEWS-RECORD 

1221  Avenue  of  the  Americas 
New  York,  N.Y.  10020 

Dear  Mr.  Young: 

I  have  just  finished  reading  your  article  entitled 
"The  Scandal  Behind  the  Soaring  Construction  Costs" 
in  the  July,  1972  edition  of  READER'S  DIGEST.  I 
felt  it  necessary  to  write  to  you  in  hopes  of  enlighten- 
ing you  on  a  few  matters  in  which  you  seem  to  have 
gotten  only  one  side  of  the  story. 

You  start  your  article  by  stating  the  earnings  of  one 
particular  craftsman.  You,  yourself,  state  that  this  is 
an  extreme  example.  I.  for  one,  believe  that  this  is  a 
gross  understatement!  You  leave  your  readers  with 
the  impression  that  all  construction  workers  are  gold- 
bricking  millionaires.  As  the  wife  of  a  union  construc- 
tion worker,  I  can  tell  you  that  this  is  not  true.  My 
husband  is  a  journeyman  carpenter  and  has  been  one 
for  over  12  years.  During  that  time  we  have  yet  to  see 
our  first  $15,000,000  a  year  salary. 

I  will  be  the  first  to  agree  that  there  are  a  lot  of 
things  wrong  with  the  union,  but  this  is  true  of  any 
type  of  organization.  I  know  of  none  that  are  without 
faults.  However,  you  seem  to  be  completely  biased 
when  it  comes  to  the  union  man. 

For  example,  you  constantly,  throughout  your  arti- 
cle, make  references  to  the  hourly  wages.  In  your 
opinion,  they  are  extremely  high  and  uncalled  for. 
What  you  fail  to  mention  is  some  of  the  reasons  for 
these  wages.  I  also  need  to  add  at  this  time  the  fact 
that  no  craft  in  this  area  makes  $10.00  an  hour  or 
more. 

For  example,  you  fail  to  mention  that  regardless 
of  weather,  construction  workers  are  required  to  work. 
As  you  wrote  this  article,  I'm  sure  you  were  sitting  in 
a  nice  warm  comfortable  office  with  a  hot  cup  of 
coffee  sitting  on  your  desk.  During  the  course  of  the 
years,  my  husband  works  outside  regardless  of  the 
temperature.  He  is  paid  to  work  in  freezing  rain  or 
boiling  sun.  I  wonder  how  quickly  you  would  be 
willing  to  climb  300  feet  in  the  air,  with  freezing  rain 
and  a  high  wind  to  build  a  scafToId  for  another  man  to 
do  his  work  on.    Or  to  eo  down  into  a  30-foot  hole 


on  a  day  when  it  is  over  95  degrees  in  the  shade  and 
no  breeze  to  shore  up  that  hole  so  it  will  not  cave  in 
on  the  workers? 

I  am  not  trying  to  gain  your  sympathy  with  these 
examples.  These  are  just  some  of  the  facts  that  a 
construction  worker  deals  with  everyday. 

Also  in  your  article  you  make  references  to  the 
number  of  rest  periods  that  the  union  requires.  On  my 
husband's  job  he  is  allowed  two  fifteen-minute  breaks 
a  day.  During  this  time  he  is  allowed  to  drink  coffee 
or/and  answer  nature's  call.  This  is  the  only  time  in 
which  he  may  do  this  other  than  his  thirty-minute 
lunch  break.  He  is  required  to  be  on  the  job  with 
tools  in  hand  at  8:30  in  the  morning  and  works  until 
4:30  in  the  afternoon.  I  wonder  how  many  days  you 
work  steadily  allowing  yourself  only  two  fifteen-minute 
breaks  and  thirty  minutes  for  lunch?  I  imagine  they 
are  few  and  far  between. 

Your  article  also  relates  the  contractor's  complaints 
concerning  "A  full  day's  work  for  a  full  day's  pay." 
I'm  sure  that  there  is  no  boss  in  the  world  that  would 
not  like  to  see  his  employees  work  harder  for  their  pay. 
Your  boss,  I'm  sure,  is  by  no  means  the  exception  to 
the  rule.  However,  you  fail  to  mention  the  fact  that 
if  one  of  his  construction  workers  is  hurt  on  his  job,  the 
contractor  neither  pays  for  the  doctor  and  hospital  bills 
nor  does  he  pay  the  man  while  he  is  unable  to  work. 

I  also  would  like  to  tell  you  that  most  union  con- 
struction workers  are  good  family  men.  They  love 
their  families  and  respect  our  country  and  what  it 
stands  for.  I  regret  the  fact  that  you  found  it  neces- 
sary in  your  article  to  leave  the  impression  with  the 
reader  that  because  of  union  construction,  our  country 
is  doomed  to  be  without  schools  and  hospitals.  Since 
you  found  it  necessary  to  smear  all  union  construction 
workers  with  this  statement,  I  feel  you  might  as  well 
have  gone  a  step  further  and  said  that  union  workers 
were  also  against  mother-love  and  apple  pie.  This 
would  have  been  in  character  with  the  rest  of  your 
article. 

I  hope  I  have  been  able  to  enlighten  you  on  a  few 
points  concerning  union  construction.  However,  I 
doubt  it  seriously.  I  hope  you  print  this  letter  and  are 
man  enough  to  admit  you  might  have  been  slightly 
biased  in  your  reporting.  If  this  letter  does  find  its 
way  into  print,  I  will  not  expect  any  payment  since 
I  do  not  belong  to  the  Writer's  Guild  (writer's  union). 

Thank  you  for  the  courtesy  of  reading  my  letter. 

Sincerely, 

Mrs.  G.  W.  (Kathryn)  Loving

Brotherhood  Craftsmen  Star  at 
1972  Festival  of  American  Folklife 


■  Three  days  of  rain  did  not 
dampen  the  folk  spirit  at  the  sixth 
annual  Festival  of  American  Folk- 
life  in  Washington,  June  30  to  July 
4.  Nearly  800,000  people  strolled 
along  the  Mall  in  front  of  the  Smith- 
sonian Institution  to  view  the  arts, 
skills,  and  crafts  that  are  integral 
to  American  culture. 

Skilled  craftsmen  demonstrated 
not  only  their  finished  products  but 
also  the  work  itself.  One  of  the  more 
popular  exhibits  was  a  gazebo  being 
built  by  Carpenters.  The  graceful 
pavilion  was  later  donated  to  the 
Smithsonian  for  band  concerts. 

Seven  award-winning  Carpenter 
apprentices,  guided  by  James  E. 
Tinkcom,  Technical  Director  of  the 
Apprenticeship  and  Training  De- 
partment, and  Charles  Allen,  per- 


formed the  work  in  front  of  hun- 
dreds of  onlookers.  All  of  the  ap- 
prentices were  contestants  in  the 
1971  National  Apprenticeship  Con- 
test and  included: 

James  Bouchard,  Local  1509, 
Miami; 

Charles  Burke,  Local  963,  Hous- 
ton; 

William  Champ,  Local  132, 
Washington,  D.C; 

Vance  Gray,  Local  626,  Wilming- 
ton; 

Anthony  Macciocca,  Local  1050, 
Philadelphia; 

Carl  Norred,  Local  720,  Baton 
Rouge;  and 

William  Schultz,  Local  101,  Bal- 
timore. 


Mill-cabinetmakers  also  demon- 
strated precision  cabinet  making, 
and  millwrights  demonstrated  the 
precision  alignment  skills  needed  in 
the  assembly  of  conveyor  systems. 

Perhaps  the  most  important  as- 
pect of  the  Festival  was  the  empha- 
sis upon  urban  and  industrial  folk- 
lore. All  too  often  the  only  Ameri- 
can folk  heroes  studied  and  dis- 
cussed are  sailors,  cowboys,  and 
lumberjacks.  The  American  Folk- 
life  Festival  saw  a  retired  Lithogra- 
pher prepare  a  litho  stone  and  pull 
prints  from  a  hand-operated  press. 
Members  of  the  Ladies'  Garment 
Workers  demonstrated  dress-mak- 
ing from  fabric  to  finished  product. 
Molders  turned  out  small  frying 
pans  through  the  almost-forgotten 
craft  of  sand-cast  molding.  Presi- 
dent George  Meany  of  the  AFL- 
CIO  rightfully  termed  the  event  "a 
living  museum." 

1972  was  the  second  consecutive 
year  that  organized  labor  was  fea- 
tured at  the  Festival.  The  series 
honoring  the  American  working- 
man  is  scheduled  to  continue  until 
it  culminates  in  the  1976  Bicenten- 
nial. Labor  historians  and  the  Amer- 
ican Federation  of  Musicians  pre- 
sented the  folklore  and  songs  which 
characterized  the  growth  of  trade 
unionism  in  America. 

The  other  main  features  of  the 
1972  Festival  included  Southwest 
American  Indians  and  the  state  of 
Maryland. 

The  Southwest  American  Indians 
conducted  discussions  of  Indian  art, 
jewelry,  weaving,  and  pottery,  and 
performed  inter-tribal  dances  and 
rituals.  The  39  Indians  from  13  dif- 
ferent tribes  ranged  from  the  agri- 
cultural Pimas,  the  village  dwelling 
Pueblos,  the  sheep  herding  Navajos 
to  the  cattle  raising  Apaches.

NAILS  STILL  HOLDING 
MAN'S  WORLD  TOGETHER 


■  Ever  since  the  earliest  carpen- 
ter mashed  his  thumb  for  the  first 
time,  man  has  had  plenty  to  say  to 
nails. 

"Goodbye!"  is  what  he  is  saying 
today — at  least  to  some  nails.  After 
5,400  years  of  holding  civilization 
together,  nails  are  being  yanked 
from  many  of  their  traditional  roles. 

Space-age  glues  and  fasteners 
made  of  plastics,  exotic  alloys,  and 
even  everyday  metals  are  replacing 
nails  in  some  old  jobs  and  taking 
on  new  ones  beyond  reach  of  the 
most  ingeniously  designed  nail,  the 
National  Geographic  Society  says. 

But  the  old  standby  is  far  from 
being  dead  as  a  doornail  (used  in 
the  Middle  Ages  to  stud  and  rein- 
force heavy  front  doors).  As  many 
nails  as  ever  are  being  made  in  the 
United  States  —  340,000  tons  in 
1971  —  with  nearly  as  many  im- 
ported —  293,000  tons  —  mostly 
from  Japan. 

Yet,  as  a  sign  of  the  times,  new 
ways  have  cast  a  shadow  of  sorts 
on  the  age-old  trademark  image  of 
house  building:  a  carpenter  shoving 
his  hand  into  a  nail  keg  for  more 
ammunition  for  his  hammer. 

Today,  nail  kegs  turn  up  only  in 
antique  shops;  nails  now  come  in 
cardboard  cartons  and  may  be 
packed  parallel  like  toothpicks  so 
their  points  won't  nick  carpenters' 
fingers. 

The  traditional  claw  hammer  is 
sometimes  replaced  by  a  power 
pounder  that  makes  its  own  nails 
from  an  attached  coil  of  wire. 

That's  a  far  cry  from  the  bronze 
nails  used  in  Egypt  about  3400  B.C. 
The  Bible  is  full  of  references  to 
nails. 

Nails  used  in  the  crucifi.xion  were 
believed  to  be  about  six  or  eight 
inches  long,  square-sided,  and 
wrought  by  a  blacksmith.  They  re- 
sembled the  seven  tons  of  nails  dug 


up  a  few  years  ago  from  a  Roman 
fort  abandoned  1,900  years  ago  in 
the  face  of  attacking  Scottish  high- 
landers,  and  sold  in  part  as  sou- 
venirs for  up  to  $7.50  each. 

Until  a  Frenchman  invented  a 
wire  nail-making  machine  in  1834, 
all  nails  were  made  by  hand,  hun- 
dreds of  thousands  by  American 
colonists  around  winter  firesides  to 
stretch  the  family  income. 

These  cut  nails,  fashioned  from 
strips  of  iron,  were  so  valuable  old 
barns  and  houses  were  once  burned 
down  to  salvage  them  from  the 
ashes.  Nails  similar  to  these  are  still 
preferred  in  laying  floors  because 
their  square  points  seldom  split 
floorboards. 

Nails  still  are  sold  in  penny- 
weight sizes.  For  instance,  a  three- 
inch   nail  was  and   is  called  a   10 


penny  because  that's  what  it  cost 
for  100  of  them. 

Today  nails  are  made  of  steel, 
aluminum,  iron,  and  copper.  Be- 
sides boards,  they  are  banged  into 
concrete  and  even  steel  by  a  nail 
gun  powered  by  .22  blank  car- 
tridges. 

They  are  designed  with  screw 
threads,  ridges,  barbs,  and  square 
edges  to  make  it  harder  for  them  to 
work  out.  They  may  be  blued  like 
a  gunbarrel,  or  galvanized  to  make 
them  rustproof. 

They  are  even  sterlized  because 
busy  carpenters  habitually  hold  nails 
in  their  mouths.  But  troubles  can 
still  come  up:  A  few  years  ago 
surgeons  investigating  a  carpenter's 
stomach  pains  discovered  he  had 
swallowed  160  nails  of  assorted 
sizes.  ■ 


Machinery  for  the  mass  production  of  nails,  once  used  by  Jones  &  Laughlin  Steel 
Corporation  at  its  Aiiquippa,  Pa.  Worlis  but  now  idled  because  of  cheap  imports. 
This  equipment  once  produced  about  1,000  different  sizes  and  types  of  nails.  The 
US  now  imports  293,000  tons  of  nails  per  year,  most  of  them  from  Japan.

AFL-CIO  Calls  for  Boycott 

Of  Struck  Farafi  Products 


The  AFL-CIO  has  called  upon 
every  union  member  and  every 
American  "who  believes  in  decency 
and  fair  play"  to  refuse  to  buy  the 
products  of  the  strike-bound  Farah 
Manufacturing  Company. 

The  boycott  of  the  firm — the 
largest  maker  of  men's  pants  in  the 
world— was  authorized  by  the  AFL- 
CIO  Executive  Council,  which  ac- 
cused the  employer  of  adopting 
"tactics  out  of  the  Dark  Ages"  in 
trying  to  break  the  walkout  by 
nearly  3,000  workers. 

The  strike  was  precipitated  by 
Farah's  firing  of  members  of  the 
Amalgamated  Clothing  Workers  for 


organizing  activities.  The  first  walk- 
outs were  in  San  Antonio  and  El 
Paso,  and  these  were  soon  followed 
by  strikes  at  plants  in  Victoria, 
Texas  and  Las  Cruces  and  Albu- 
querque, N.  Mex. 

The  Council  pointed  out  that 
Farah  "has  consistently  exploited" 
its  employees,  many  of  whom  are 
Mexican-Americans,  and  "the  strug- 
gle of  these  workers  for  economic 
justice,  dignity  and  security  is  tlie 
struggle  of  all  workers." 

The  AFL-CIO  leaders  charged 
Farah  with  using  such  tactics  as  at- 
tack dogs,  arrests  in  the  middle  of 
the  night,  unlawful  firing  of  workers 


and  intimidation — practices  that 
have  "no  place  in  20th  Century 
labor  relations." 

The  Council's  statement  urged 
unions,  state  and  local  bodies  to  im- 
mediately mount  campaigns  to  in- 
form consumers  on  the  issues  at 
Farah  and  call  upon  merchants  to 
refuse  to  sell  Farah  products.  The 
labor  press  was  asked  to  give  prom- 
inent attention  to  the  dispute. 

"Every  American,  every  trade 
unionist  can  and,  we  believe,  shouid 
use  his  consumer  dollar  as  a  tool 
for  justice  for  Farah  workers,"  the 
Council  concluded.  (PAI)

EAELY  AMERICAN  SKILLS 

Displayed  at  Museum  of

Examples  of  early  American  craft  skills  are  displayed 
in  countless  local,  state  and  regional  museums  across 
the  country.  Usually  they're  tucked  between  exhibits 
of  flora  and  fauna  and  historical  artifacts.  A  small 
museum  in  New  York  City,  however,  is  dedicated  espe- 
cially to  displaying  the  work  of  early  American  artisans. 
It's  the  Museum  of  American  Folk  Art  at  49  West  53rd 
Street,  just  a  few  steps  from  Manhattan's  towering 
Hilton  Hotel.  Closing  this  month  to  prepare  for  its 
fall  exhibitions,  the  Museum  of  American  Folk  Art 
will  soon  present  one  of  five  annual  shows  under  a  grant 
from  the  New  York  State  Council  of  the  Arts.  One  of 
these  exhibitions  will  display  the  masterpieces  of  wood 
craftsmen.

THE    CARPENTER 


Above:  Piledrivers  at  work  on  the  new 
Metro  transportation  system  in  Washing- 
ton, D.C.  Below:  Extraction  of  steel  pile 
in  permafrost  at  Fairbanks,  Alaska.  The 
soil  was  thawed  by  advancing  a  steam 
jet  adjacent  to  and  down  to  the  depth 
of  the  pile  until  the  pile  heaved  up. 


■  For  the  past  decade,  the  Na- 
tional Bureau  of  Standards  in  Wash- 
ington, in  cooperation  with  the 
Corps  of  Engineers  and  the  Ameri- 
can Iron  and  Steel  Institute,  has 
been  sinking  pilings  into  different 
types  of  soil  all  over  the  United 
States,  leaving  them  exposed  to  the 
elements,  and  then  pulling  them  out 
for  careful  laboratory  study. 

In  a  cooperative  project  with 
Canada,  NBS  also  established,  in 
1966,  three  piling  test  sites  at  Mon- 
treal, Quebec. 

The  toughest  testing  to  date,  has 
been  done  near  Fairbanks,  Alaska, 
where  various  types  of  piles  were 
driven  into  permafrost,  the  perma- 
nently frozen  layer  of  ground  be- 
neath the  Earth's  surface  in  such 
frigid  regions  of  the  globe.  Perma- 
frost was  reached  four  feet  below 
the  surface  near  Fairbanks. 

Three  methods  were  used  in  in- 
stalling the  piles — driving,  dry  au- 
gering,  and,  m  permafrost  soils, 
steam  thawing.  Driven  piles  remain 
sturdy.  However,  with  the  dry  an- 
gering process,  it  was  necessary  to 
backfill  with  material  varying  in 
content  from  riprap,  cinders,  and 
slag,  to  combinations  of  sand,  silt, 
loam,  and  clay.  With  steam  thaw- 
ing, piles  were  installed  directly  in 
the  silt-water  slurry  formed  during 
thawing  and  needed  little  or  no 
backfill. 

To  extend  the  research,  NBS  sci- 
entists also  pulled  out  pilings  which 
were  sunk  as  far  back  as  40  years 
ago  and  compared  their  condition 
with  pilings  of  shorter-term  use. 

In  general,  the  research  showed 
no  appreciable  corrosion  of  steel 
piling  sunk  into  undisturbed  soil 
below  the  water  table,  regardless  of 
the  soil  types  or  properties  encoun- 
tered. Above  the  water  table  and 
in  fill  soils,  corrosion  was  found  to 
be  variable  but  not  serious.  All  of 
which  is  testimony  to  the  good  qual- 
ity of  US  and  Canadian  produced 
steels. 

Steel  pilings  have  been  used  for 
many  years  as  structural  members 
of  dams,  floodwalls,  bulkheads,  and 
as  load-bearing  foundations.  While 
their  use  has  generally  been  satis- 
factory, no  evaluation  of  their  dura- 
bility under  any  and  all  conditions 
had  been  made  until  these  recent 
studies  by  the  NBS.  ■

Tests  With  Pilings 
In  Permafrost 


A(  right:  Test  piles  prepared  for  inspec- 
tion after  cleaning.  Specimen  include 
A25  and  A 17,  shonn  at  extreme  left  in 
the  picture  at  right  and  in  two  of  the 
photographs  below. 


Pile  No.  A25  (a  light  beam,  8B  15.  8  in  \  4  in.  15  lb/ft),  shown 
at  right,  was  driven  into  permafrost  on  April  22.  1952.  When 
it  was  pulled  11  years  later  (July  23.  1963),  it  had  a  thin, 
uniform  hlni  of  rust  but  no  pitting,  in  the  IKi  feet  above 
ground;  small  pits  (.4  mm)  in  the  4.8  feet  immediately  below 
ground  level;  and  no  evidence  of  pitting  or  metal  attack  in  the 
4.8  feet  sunk  into  permafrost. 

Pile  No.  A 17  (a  steel  pipe  pile.  8-in  diameter,  0.272  in  wall 
thickness.  25  lb/ft),  shown  below,  stayed  in  the  same  length  of 
time  as  A25,  11  years.  Its  above-ground  surfaces  showed  no 
pitting,  just  a  light  him  of  rust;  below  the  ground  line  there  was 
slight  metal  attack  and  pitting  in  localized  areas;  no  pits  meas- 
ured greater  than  20  mils;  about  60  *>  mill  scale  intact;  in  the 
4.6  feet  of  permafrost  at  the  bottom  of  the  pile  mill  scale  was 
100%  intact;  no  metal  attack  or  pitting,  welds  were  unaffected 
by  corrosion. 

Pile  No.  C81,  right,  below,  was  a  steel  H-pile  (6WF25,  6x6 
in,  25  lb/ft)  which  stayed  in  the  Alaskan  ground  for  six  years. 
The  above-ground  surfaces  had  uniform  rust  over  50%  and 
mill  scale  intact  over  the  remaining  half,  with  no  measurable 
pits  present;  for  the  first  four  feet  below  ground  there  were  no 
measurable  pits  greater  than  10  mils  and  mill  scale  was  intact 
over  90%  of  the  surface;  in  the  4-foot  permafrost  region  mill 
scale  was  intact  over  the  entire  surface  and  the  pile  surface 
was  unaffected  by  corrosion.

Wage  and  Price  Controls  Slapped 
Back  On  Small  Lumber  Firms 


A  rapid  increase  in  the  cost  of  lum- 
ber has  caused  the  Nixon  Adminis- 
tration to  restore  wage  and  price  con- 
trols on  62.000  firms — a  flip-flop  from 
the  position  taken  less  than  two 
months    ago. 

The  Cost  of  Living  Council  an- 
nounced that  controls  would  be  re- 
imposed  on  lumber  manufacturers, 
wholesalers  and  retailers  with  annual 
sales  of  less  than  $100,000. 

The  move  followed  a  2.6  percent 
increase  in  the  price  of  lumber  in  the 
month  of  June  alone.  The  price  of 
lumber  and  related  products  has  in- 
creased 14  percent  on  the  wholesale 
index  over  the  past  year. 

However,  first-cut  logs  will  con- 
tinue to  be  exempt  from  controls  since 
the  council  defines  them  as  falling  into 
the  "raw  agricultural  goods"  category, 
which  has  been  exempted  from  all 
controls. 

The  62.000  lumber  firms  were 
among  the  U.S.  companies  of  all  types 
who    were    exempted    from    controls 


May  1,  based  on  having  60  employes 
or  less.  For  lumber  companies,  the 
exemption  was  rescinded  July  17, 
bringing  over  90  percent  of  all  lumber 
companies  back  under  controls. 

In  announcing  the  change  in  policy, 
COLC  Director^Ronald  Rumsfeld  said 
that  prices  have  been  increased  more 
sharply  by  lumber  companies  enjoy- 
ing the  exemption  than  by  those  sub- 
ject to  the   controls. 

Rumsfeld  said  that  the  2.6  percent 
Increase  in  the  price  of  lumber  in 
June  represented  almost  one-fourth  of 
the  total  increase  in  the  industrial 
commodities  component  of  the  whole- 
sale price  index. 

In  a  related  move,  the  Administra- 
tion instructed  the  U..S.  Forest  Service 
to  increase  the  supply  of  lumber  by 
releasing  more  timber  from  thinning 
and  salvage  operations  in  national  for- 
ests. Also,  the  Interstate  Commerce 
Commission  was  instructed  to  make 
sure  enough  freight  cars  are  available 
to  "speed  the  delivery  of  soft  lumber

and  plywood  to  ultimate  destination 
points." 

These  moves  are  predicated  on  the 
Administration's  contention  that  a 
short  supply  of  lumber  caused  the 
phenomenal   recent  price  increases. 

Rumsfeld  said  the  rescinding  of  the 
exemptions  in  the  lumber  industry 
should  serve  notice  to  all  smaller  firms 
that  their  exemption  might  be  lifted, 
too.  But  he  said  he  didn't  know  of  any 
other  industries  where  exempted  firms 
were  raising  their  prices  faster  than 
the  non-exempt  firms. 

Under  the  formula  designed  to  keep 
any  firm  from  enjoying  profits  higher 
than  their  average  in  the  three  months 
before  the  controls  were  instituted 
Aug.  15,  1971,  it  would  be  conceiv- 
able that  some  lumber  firms  would  be 
required  to  rollback  part  of  the  in- 
crease in  prices  since  the  May  1  ex- 
emption. 

Lumber  Pattern  Pact 
Sent  To  Pay  Board 

The  Pay  Board  has  been  asked  to  ap- 
prove a  "pattern"  settlement  between 
two  unions  and  five  major  employers 
in  the  Pacific  Northwest  forest  products 
industry. 

The  joint  submission  was  made  by  the 
Western  Regional  Council  of  the  Wood- 
wt)rkers:  the  Western  Council  of  Lum- 
ber. Production  &  Industrial  Workers, 
an  affiliate  of  the  Carpenters,  and  the 
Northwest  Forest  Products  Association. 

Highlights  of  the  three-year  agreement 
include  a  general  wage  increase  of  32 
cents  an  hour  this  year,  6  percent  raises 
in  the  second  and  third  years,  and  signifi- 
cant improvement  in  pensions,  health 
and  welfare  programs  and  other  fringe 
benefits. 

About  20.000  members  of  the  two 
unions  are  employed  by  NFPA  member 
companies — Crown  Zellerbach,  Interna- 
tional Paper,  Weyerhaeuser,  ITT-Rayon- 
icr  and  Simpson  Timber. 

.Settlements  also  have  been  reached 
with  other  industry  associations  and  in- 
dividual firms  that  employ  about  40,000 
members  of  the  IWA  and  LPIW  in  the 
western  states. 

These  contracts — with  companies  such 
as  Georgia-Pacific,  U.S.  Plywood-Cham- 
pion Papers  and  Pollatch  Forests — follow 
the  pattern  and  include  provisions  for 
joint  submissions  to  the  Pay  Board  on  a 
landeni  basis  with  the  earlier  settlement. 

While  the  new  contracts  cover  the 
hulk  of  the  two  unions'  membership,  sev- 
eral hundred  workers  remain  on  picket 
lines  at  companies  that  have  refused  to 
meet  the  same  conditions.

ANADIAN 


Construction  Union  Offices  in  BC 
Raided  in  Highhanded  Police  Action 


The  most  extensive  police  raids  on 
union  offices  in  more  than  50  years 
tooic  place  in  British  Columbia  when 
federal  police  officers  raided  construc- 
tion union  quarters  late  in  June. 

The  raids  were  ordered  after  a  num- 
ber of  construction  unions  refused  to 
order  their  members  back  to  work  in 
face  of  a  B.C.  government  back-to- 
work  order. 

The  unions  involved  protested  the 
raids.  A  senior  court  judge  ruled  that 
the  provincial  judge  who  issued  the 
warrants  for  the  raids  lacked  reason- 
able grounds  for  believing  that  the 
unions  were  breaking  the  law  when 
they  did  not  order  their  members  to 
return  to  work. 

The  purpose  of  the  raids,  almost 
50  in  number,  was  to  seek  evidence 
that  the  unions  were  contravening  the 
government  edict. 

This  inexcusable  police  action  is  the 
most  recent  in  a  long  series  of  union 
disputes  with  the  provincial  govern- 
ment since  the  B.C.  Mediation  Com- 
mission was  established. 

The  dispute  between  the  construc- 
tion unions  and  the  contractors  goes 
back  several  months. 

The  Construction  Labor  Relations 
Association  which  is  bargaining  agent 
for  about  800  building  contractors 
locked  out  the  members  of  18  unions 
representing  30,000  workers  on  April 
28th. 

The  lockout  was  lifted  June  14th 
but  most  of  the  workers  did  not  return 
to  work,  upholding  their  policy  of  "no 
contract,  no  work." 

The  B.C.  Mediation  Commission 
was  called  on  by  Labor  Minister  James 
Chabot  to  hand  down  compulsory  arbi- 
tration covering  eight  unions  which 
had  not  yet  reached  agreement. 

The  hearings  before  the  Commission 
were  boycotted  by  the  unions.  Six 
unions  which  had  not  settled  formed 


a  common  front.  They  agreed  not  to 
bargain  either  individually  or  sepa- 
rately with  the  CLRA. 

The  unions  were  the  carpenters, 
electricians,  plumbers,  heat  and  frost 
insulators,  boilermakers  and  cement 
masons. 

At  this  writing  (early  July)  the  pro- 
vincial government  claims  that  it  will 
press  charges  if  the  "evidence"  it  has 
obtained  through  the  police  is  adequate 
for  their  purposes. 

How  evidence  obtained  illegally 
could  be  used  in  court  has  yet  to  be 
explained. 

However,  the  government  has  ap- 
pealed the  court  order  quashing  the 
raid  warrants. 

For  a  parallel  in  Canadian  history, 
one  has  to  go  back  to  the  Winnipeg 
General  Strike  of  1919 — one  of  the 
few  events  in  trade  union  history  which 
the  history  books  can't  miss. 

At  that  time  unemployment  was 
high,  prices  were  high,  jobs  were  few 
and  soldiers  who  returned  from  the 
First  World  War  found  that,  while 
they  had  made  great  sacrifices,  many 
in  the  business  world  had  profiteered 
tremendously. 

When  the  unions  in  Winnipeg  found 
employers  refusing  to  bargain  for  de- 
cent wages  and  working  conditions, 
they  struck.  Almost  the  entire  working 
force  of  the  city  refused  to  work.  The 
strike  organizers  planned  to  maintain 
the  most  essential  services  and  to  con- 
duct the  strike  in  the  most  peaceful 
manner  possible. 

But  the  powers-that-be  would  have 
none  of  this.  They  saw  nothing  but  a 
diabolical  plot  by  organized  labor. 
They  raided  most  of  the  union  offices 
across  Canada  looking  for  subversive 
evidence. 

They  found  nothing. 

As  for  the  B.C.  building  trades,  the 
B.C.  Federation  of  Labor  and  the  B.C. 


and  Yukon  Building  Trades  Council 
condemned  as  totally  false  public  state- 
ments by  the  CLRA  that  the  six  united 
building  trades  unions  were  not  willing 
to  negotiate. 

CLRA.  said  a  joint  statement,  was 
not  prepared  to  negotiate  settlements 
which  cover  the  whole  industry.  "In- 
stead they  are  trying  to  pick  off  one 
union  at  a  time." 

New  Manitoba  Act 
Covers  More  Workers 

A  new  Labor  Relations  Act  for 
Manitoba  has  been  introduced  in  the 
provincial  legislature  by  Labor  Minis- 
ter Russ  Paulley. 

The  Act  extends  collective  bargain- 
ing rights  to  supervisory  and  profes- 
sional personnel  as  well  as  owner- 
drivers  of  trucks  and  other  vehicles. 

It  will  cover  all  employees  under 
provincial  jurisdiction  in  the  private 
and  public  sectors  except  school  teach- 
ers who  are  covered  by  the  Public 
Schools  Act. 

Civil  servants  and  firemen  are  cov- 
ered by  the  new  Act  but  will  still 
remain  under  the  provisions  of  the 
special  acts  which  provide  for  binding 
arbitration.  This  may  change  within 
the  year. 

Trade  unon  leaders  in  the  province 
including  Len  Stevens,  president  of 
the  Manitoba  Federation  of  Labor, 
consider  the  new  legislation  to  be  the 
most  progressive  in  Canada. 

The  bill  is  drafted  with  the  intention 
of  giving  greater  responsibility  to  em- 
ployer and  employees  to  settle  disputes 
by  negotiation  without  intervention  by 
government.  For  example,  compulsory 
arbitration  is  virtually  eliminated. 

Also  eliminated  are  special  media- 
tion procedures  for  employees  of 
crown  agencies  and  the  police.  These 
groups  now  have  the  same  bargaining 
rights  as  others  including  the  right  to 
strike. 

Notice  to  bargain  may  be  given  30 
to  90  days  prior  to  termination  of  an 
agreement.  The  parties  must  inform 
the  minister  of  the  state  of  their  nego- 
tiations at  14  days  before  they  have  the 
right  to  strike  or  lockout. 

It  is  now  easier  for  unions  to  obtain 
certification  votes.  Only  35  per  cent 
of  eligible  members  must  be  signed 
up.  Collective  agreements  signed  after 
January  1,  1973,  will  contain  compul- 
sory checkoff  provisions. 

As  for  technological  change,  a  key 
point  ifl  negotiations  today,  an  em- 
ployer must  give  at  least  90  days  notice 


20 


THE    CARPENTER 


to  the  bargaining  agent  if  he  intends 
to  introduce  technological  changes 
likely  to  affect  the  terms  and  condi- 
tions of  employment  of  a  significant 
number  of  employees. 

Where  such  notice  is  given  the  union 
may  serve  notice  to  terminate  the  exist- 
ing collective  agreement  and  have  the 
right  to  strike  on  its  termination. 

But  if  there  is  a  question  as  to 
whether  the  effects  of  change  are  sig- 
nificant, either  party  may  request  a 
decision  from  an  arbitration  board. 

Toronto  Leads  World 
In  Per  Capita  Building 

Who  is  leading  the  world  in  per 
capita  construction? 

The  Metropolitan  area  of  Toronto. 

In  1971  Metro  Toronto  had  the 
highest  per  capita  construction  expen- 
ditures in  the  world. 

It  led  the  cities  in  the  North  Ameri- 
can continent  in  industrial  growth  and 
was  second  in  the  gross  value  of  non- 
residential construction. 

Non-residential  construction  aver- 
aged $247.33  per  person. 

The  Los  Angeles-Long  Beach  area 
which  has  three  times  Metro's  popula- 
tion had  a  higher  total  value  of  non- 
residential construction — $840  million 
compared  with  $585  million  for  Metro 
— but  on  a  per  capita  basis,  the  aver- 
age was  only  $119.55. 

Chicago  was  third  with  a  gross  of 
$565  million  and  $81.07  per  capita. 
New  York  had  $520  million  and 
$45.11  per  capita. 

Other  cities  in  Canada  had  $281 
million  for  Montreal  (somewhat  larger 
than  Metro  Toronto  in  population), 
$164  million  for  Vancouver  and  $161 
million  for  Ottawa. 

One  real  estate  expert  predicts  even 
a  better  record  for  Metro  Toronto  in 
1972.  Many  huge  developments  are 
in  the  planning  stage. 

Consumer  Pays 
Real  Estate  Price 

The  real  estate  boom  means  that  the 
consumer  pays  the  price.  Land  prices 
for  residential  construction  are  among 
the  highest  on  the  continent  in  Metro. 

In  a  development  just  outside  the 
Metro  limits,  a  single  family  lot  sells 
for  $13,000;  a  lot  for  a  pair  of  semi- 
detached units  sells  for  $20,000. 

In  Metro,  a  single  50-foot  lot  would 
run  closer  to  $17,000;  in  exclusive  dis- 
tricts, $40,000  and  up. 


Prices,  Income 
Commission  Out 

The  late  unlamented  Prices  and  In- 
comes Commission  is  virtually  out  of 
business,  its  oflfices  closing. 

In  his  last  appearance  as  chairman 
of  the  Commission,  Dr.  John  Young 
exonerated  unions  as  a  factor  in  infla- 
tion. 

This  was  a  far  different  tune  than 
he  was  singing  when  he  was  an  active 
and  vocal  chairman  sounding  off  on  6 
percent  wage  guidelines  at  every  op- 
portunity. 

Safety  Responsibility 
To  Ontario  Offices 

The  Department  of  Labor  in  On- 
tario has  introduced  new  legislation 
which  devolves  more  responsibility  for 
construction  safety  in  the  provincial 
government. 

Municipalities  are  supposed  to  do 
their  own  inspection  on  work  sites  at 
the  present  time. 

With  the  provincial  government  tak- 
ing over,  additional  inspectors  will  be 
hired.  Regional  engineers  will  be  lo- 
cated in  Hamilton,  London  and  Ot- 
tawa as  well  as  in  Toronto. 

The  new  Construction  Safety  Act 
requires  that  a  contractor  provide 
various  safeguards  on  a  project  accord- 
ing to  laid-down  procedures.  Subcon- 
tractors are  also  included. 

Maximum  fines  of  $10,000  a  day 
are  provided  with  an  additional  $500 
a  day  for  failure  to  obey  an  inspector's 
order.  Terms  of  imprisonment  are  up 
to  12  months. 

Costs  of  the  inspection  service  will 
be  billed  directly  to  the  contractor 
through  a  surcharge  on  assessments 
levied  by  the  Workmen's  Compensa- 
tion Board. 

8%  Unemployed 
By  1 980  Is  Prediction 

A  dire  prediction  has  been  voiced 
by  a  former  senior  cabinet  minister  in 
the  federal  Liberal  government. 

Eric  Kierans,  an  economist,  a  self- 
made  millionaire  and  adviser  to  the 
Manitoba  government,  believes  that  if 
present  policies  are  continued,  Canada 
will  have  8  per  cent  unemployed  by 
1980. 

He  is  critical  of  rapid  resource  de- 
velopment and  heavy  capital  outlays 
with  big  tax  write-offs  to  big  business. 
This  is  no  way  to  plan  for  the  future 
and  to  make  jobs,  he  says.

M 

management:  The  group  directing  and  controlling  employees, 
including  supervisors  with  effective  power  to  hire  and  fire. 

management  prerogatives:  From  management's  viewpoint,  "the  right 
to  manage'";  the  right  of  management  to  make  certain  decisions 
and  take  certain  actions  without  notification  to,  consultation  with 
or  negotiating  with  the  union.  Such  "prerogatives,"  when  spelled 
out  in  the  contract,  are  often  a  source  of  controversy. 

mediation:  A  function  of  the  Federal  Mediation  and  Conciliation 
Service  or  other  intermediary  seeking  to  assist  in  bringing  parties 
in  a  dispute  into  agreement. 

merit  increase:  An  individual  wage  increase  in  recognition  of  su- 
perior performance  or  service,  commonly  specified  as  negotiable 
in  a  union  contract. 

merit  rating:  Periodic  rating  of  worker's  efficiency  as  basis  for  pay 
increase  and/or  promotion. 

minimum  wage:  The  lowest  allowable  rate,  by  union  contract  or  by 
law,  for  a  given  job.  The  term  is  most  widely  used  in  reference 
to  the  federal  wage-hour  law  (Fair  Labor  Standards  Act)  which 
sets  a  minimum  hourly  rate  for  all  workers  to  which  it  applies, 
and  to  supplementary  state  and  municipal  statutes. 

modified  union  shop:  One  in  which  non-union  workers  already 
employed  need  not  join  the  union,  but  all  new  employees  must 
join,  and  those  already  members  must  remain  in  the  union. 

moonlighting:  Holding  two  jobs  at  one  time.  One  is  usually  a  full- 
time  job  and  the  other  part-time. 

motion  study:  The  analysis  of  the  manual  and  the  eye  movements 
occurring  in  an  operation  or  work  cycle  for  the  purpose  of  elimi- 
nating wasted  movements  and  establishing  a  better  sequence  and 
coordination  of  movements.  Definition  approved  by  work  stand- 
ardization committee  of  American  Society  of  Mechanical  Engi- 
neers. 

multi-employer  bargaining:  Collective  bargaining  covering  more 
than  one  company  in  a  given  industry.  It  may  be  industry-wide 
(as  in  the  coal  and  men's  clothing  industries);  regional  (as  in  over- 
the-road  trucking,  lumber  and  maritime  industries);  or  limited  to  a 
city  or  a  metropolitan  area  (as  in  the  construction,  bakery  and  laun- 
dry industries).  A  related  phase  is  pattern  bargaining,  in  which  key 
terms  reached  in  one  settlement  are  closely  folowed  by  other 
companies  such  as  in  steel  and  automotive  industries.

THE    CARPENTER 


To  give  recognition  to  those  local 
unions  which  do  an  outstanding  job 
of  cooperating  with  the  Carpenters 
Legislative  Improvement  Committee, 
two  awards   have   been  instituted. 

One  is  a  bronze  plaque  which  will 
be  awarded  to  the  local  union  in  each 
district  which  shows  the  greatest  rec- 
ord of  CLIC  participation — on  a  per- 
centage of  members  making  contribu- 
tions. 

A  special  certificate  is  also  being 
presented  to  local  unions  which  have 
shown  dramatic  improvement  in  their 
local  CLIC  programs  during  the  past 
year.

THE    CARPENTER 


LOCAL  UNION  NEWS 


Oscar  Pratt 
Honored  at  Boston 
Testimonial  Dinner 

On  June  23,  1972,  Oscar  Pratt  was- 
honored  with  a  testimonial  dinner  given 
by  his  friends  and  members  of  the  execu- 
tive board  of  the  Massachusetts  State 
Council  of  Carpenters. 

Brother  Pratt's  long  and  varied  career 
in  the  labor  movement  began  back  in 
1927  when  he  was  enrolled  as  an  appren- 
tice carpenter  into  Local  624,  Brockton. 
The  son  of  Business  Representative  Wal- 
ter Pratt,  he  followed  in  his  father's  foot- 
steps and  first  became  a  local  union  of- 
ficer when  he  was  elected  a  trustee  and 
served  from  1937  to  1941.  He  was  then 
elected  business  representative  in  1941 
and  continued  in  this  capacity  until  his 
retirement  in  1972. 

His  service  to  the  labor  movement  also 
included  executive  board  member  and 
vice  president  of  the  Massachusetts  State 
Council  of  Carpenters,  vice  president  of 
the  Massachusetts  State  Federation  of  La- 
bor, board  member  of  Massachusetts  Bldg. 
Trades  Council,  secretary  and  president  of 
the  Brockton  Central  Labor  Union,  and 
trustee  of  the  Massachusetts  State  Car- 
penters Pension  Fund.  At  the  1958  Gen- 
eral Convention.  General  President  Mau- 
rice Hutchinson,  appointed  him  as 
chairman  of  the  President's  Report  Com- 
mittee, and  in  1960,  1962,  1966,  1970  he 
served  as  chairman  of  the  Constitution 
Committee. 

The  main  speaker  of  the  evening  was 
Assistant  to  the  General  President  John 
S.  Rogers,  who  brought  the  fraternal 
greetings  of  President  William  Sidell  and 
the  members  of  the  General  Executive 
Board  and  wished  Brother  Pratt  and  his 
wife  many  long  and  happy  years  in  re- 
tirement. He  spoke  of  his  long  associa- 
tion with  Oscar  on  his  frequent  visits  to 
Massachusetts  over  the  past  decade. 

General  Representative  Richard  P. 
Griffin  expounded  on  the  accomplish- 
ments of  Oscar  Pratt  and  thanked  him 
for  actively  participating  on  the  various 
committees  that  have  benefitted  the 
Brotherhood. 

The  evening  closed  with  many  presen- 
tations given  by  members  of  the  labor 
organizations  which  Brother  Pratt  served. 


With  the  honoree:  Harry  Hogan,  retired  General  Representative;  Joseph  Clarke, 
Massachusetts  A.G.C.;  John  Rogers,  Assistant  to  General  President  William  Sidell; 
Oscar  Pratt;  Fred  Hansen,  Jr.,  president,  Massachusetts  State  Council  of  Carpenters; 
and  Rev.  James  Lowery,  C.S.Y.,  Stonehill  College. 


On  the  platform,  left  to  right:  Fred  Han- 
sen, Jr.,  president,  Massachusetts  State 
Council  of  Carpenters;  Oscar  Pratt,  Mrs. 
Pratt;  John  Rogers,  Assistant  to  General 
President  William  Sidell. 

The  Right  Letters 


Business  Representative  Sam  Garcia  of 
Local  1408,  Redwood  City,  Calif.,  wanted 
to  have  license  plates  which  read:  AFL- 
CIO.  Unfortunately,  another  California 
driver  had  already  acquired  them.  Un- 
daunted, he  switched  his  order  to  "CIO- 
AFL"  and  thus  acquired  his  own  one-of- 
a-kind,  personalized  tags. 


CORRECTIONS 

On  Page  6  of  the  July  CAR- 
PENTER, we  published  a  report 
of  two  state  and  provincial  drywall 
agreements  and  indicated,  errone- 
ously, that  the  agreements  were 
tied  in  with  a  recent  agreement  be- 
tween the  Brotherhood  and  the  In- 
ternational Assn.  of  Wall  and  Ceil- 
ing Contractors. 

Actually,  the  Ontario  agreement 
is  between  the  Ontario  Provincial 
Council  of  Carpenters,  its  affiliated 
local  unions,  and  the  Acoustical 
Assn.  of  Ontario.  This  employer 
association  is  not  affiliated  as  yet 
with  any  national  or  international 
trade  association. 

The  New  Jersey  Statewide 
Agreement,  meanwhile,  is  between 
the  New  Jersey  State  Council  of 
Carpenters  and  the  New  Jersey 
Drywall  Contractors  Assn.,  which 
is  not  an  affiliate  of  any  trade  asso- 
ciation. • 

In  the  July  issue  of  The  CAR- 
PENTER, we  inadvertently  omitted 
the  name  of  Albert  L.  Walters  from 
the  Hsting  of  those  mem  "  -^■'  of  Lo- 
cal 1976,  Los  Angeles,  Calif.,  who 
recently  received  service  pins. 
Brother  Walters  received  a  25-year 
pin  and  a  certificate  showing  his 
27  years  of  service.  Our  apologies 
for  the  oversight. 


Regional  NLRB 


William  C.  Humphrey,  a  regional  at- 
torney for  the  National  Labor  Relations 
Board  in  Milwaukee  since  1964.  has  been 
appointed  Baltimore  regional  director  of 
the  NLRB.  Humphrey  takes  over  the  post 
formerly  held  by  John  A.  Penello,  now  a 
member  of  the  NLRB.

Price  Hikes  Wipe  Out  Cains 
In  Average  Family  Income 


■  Cost-of-living  increases  ate  up 
all  improvement  in  the  U.S.  median 
income  in  1971  and  left  the  average 
family  right  where  it  was  in  1970, 
the  U.S.  Bureau  of  the  Census  re- 
ported. 

For  the  first  time  in  history,  the 
median  income  for  all  families  was 
above  $10,000.  But  the  $10,290 
median  is  an  increase  of  only  4.2 
percent,  the  same  as  the  inflation 
rate. 

The  median  is  the  point  which 
has  the  same  number  of  families 
above  it  as  below  it. 

In  other  trends,  the  number  of 
families  living  in  poverty  increased 
slightly;  blacks  failed  to  gain  in  re- 
lation to  whites  and  women's  in- 
comes continued  to  trail  far  behind 
men. 

The  number  of  Americans  living 
in  poverty  increased  from  25.4  mil- 
lion in  1970  to  25.6  million  in  1972, 
which  the  bureau  calls  virtually  the 
same  because  of  the  margin  for 
error  in  its  sampling.  Inflation 
pushed  up  the  government's  defini- 
tion of  poverty  from  $3,968  to 
$4,137  in  1971  for  a  non-farm  fam- 
ily of  four.  Ten  percent  of  all  whites 
and  31  percent  of  non-whites  are  in 
families  with  incomes  below  the 
poverty  level. 

The  median  family  income  for 
Negroes  in  1971  was  $6,440,  a 
slight  improvement  over  the  $6,280 
of  the  previous  year.  But  blacks, 
like  whites,  saw  their  real  incomes 
unimproved  because  of  the  inflation 
rate.  Similarly,  their  relation  to 
whites  remained  unchanged — at  60 
percent  of  the  white  income  level 
for  both  years. 

Women  employed  year-around 
and  full-time  in  1971  had  a  median 
income  of  $5,700  compared  to  $9,- 
630  for  men  similarly  employed. 
And  with  part-time  employes  added 
in,  the  median  income  for  all 
women  was  $2,410  compared  to 
$6,900  for  men. 

For  full-time  women  workers, 
that  $5,700  income  is  an  increase 
of  4.8  percent  while  for  men  the 
increase  was  4.9  percent.  So  indi- 
vidual  workers,    like   families,    en- 


joyed almost  no  income  gain  in 
constant  dollars  when  both  are  set 
against  the  inflation  rate. 

The  census  figures  also  show  a 
direct  link  between  households 
headed  by  women  and  the  poverty 
level.  Only  12  percent  of  all  U.S. 
families  are  headed  by  women,  but 
such  families  make  up  40  percent 
of  the  total  living  in  poverty. 

Limited  to  families  in  which  the 
head  of  the  household  worked  full- 
time,  year-round,  the  1971  median 
income  was  $12,440. 

Of  the  nation's  53.3  million  fami- 
lies, the  breakdown  on  family  in- 
come is: 

•  5  percent  with  incomes  of 
more  than  $25,000. 

•  20  percent  between  $15,000 
and  $25,000. 

•  27  percent  between  $10,000 
and  $15,000. 

•  30  percent  between  $5,000 
and  $10,000. 

•  19  percent  at  $5,000  or  be- 
low. 

The  1971  figures  were  compiled 
in  March  1972  on  a  sampling  of 
47,000  households.  ■

CAN  AMERICAN  WORKER? 

Continued  from  page  3 

Foreign  Trade  and  Investment  Act 
of  1972,  which  is  aimed  specifically 
at  dealing  with  these  basic  causes 
of  America's  deteriorating  position 
in  the  world  economy. 

The  bill,  for  example,  would  re- 
move the  tax  subsidies  and  other 
incentives  that  encourage  U.S.  com- 
panies to  establish  foreign  subsidi- 
ary operations.  It  would  provide 
government  regulation  of  the  export 
of  American  technology  and  capital. 
It  would  also  set  up  a  "sliding  door" 
limitation  on  most  imports,  related 
to  the  level  of  American  production 
— -annual  import  quotas,  based  on 
the  number  of  items  imported  into 
the  U.S.  in  1965-1969,  as  a  per- 


centage of  U.S.  output.  In  that  way, 
imports  would  be  permitted  to  in- 
crease as  U.S.  production  rises. 

The  Burke-Hartke  bill's  restraints 
on  imports  and  on  the  outflows  of 
technology  and  capital  are  tailored 
to  meet  America's  needs  in  a  world 
of  managed  national  economies  and 
multinational  corporations.  The  bill 
represents  a  practical  way  of  deal- 
ing with  a  serious  economic  and 
social  problem.  ■

(1)  LOS  ANGELES,  CALIF.— On  the 
evening  of  February  24,  1972.  Millwright 
&  Machine  Erectors  Local  1607  held  a 
special  called  meeting  to  honor  "old 
time"  members  and  award  service  pins. 

Approximately  300  members  gathered 
to  honor  the  47  members  who  received 
25-year  service  pins.  Also  attending  were 
guests,  who  included  Anthony  Ramos, 
executive  secretary  of  California  State 
Council  of  Carpenters;  Chris  Lehman, 
General  Representative,  retired;  J.  Wiley 
Howard,  General  Representative,  UBCJA; 
Arthur  Eisele,  Field  Representative  of 
State  Council  of  Carpenters;  and  Pat 
MacDonald,    business    representative    of 


Los  Angeles  District  Council  of  Carpen- 
ters. 

Two  special  guests  were  John  Mac- 
Donald,  who  received  a  55-year  service 
pin  and  a  Brotherhood  watch,  and  John 
Borgland,  who  received  his  50-year  pin 
and  a  Brotherhood  watch.  Those  two 
long-term  service  pins  were  awarded  by 
Chris  Lehman,  who  had  been  the  business 
agent  under  whom  the  two  recipients 
had  worked  when  they  first  came  to  Cali- 
fornia. Brother  Lehman  was  assisted  by 
Anthony   Ramos. 

Although  Millwright  Local  1607  was 
chartered  in  1943,  the  expressions  of  ap- 
preciation by  the  younger  members  was 
very  enthusiastic  for  those  who  had 
achieved  length  of  service  greater  than 
the  age  of  the  local  union,  as  well  as  for 
all  who  had  reached  the  25-year  mark. 

In  the  photograph,  from  left  to  right: 
Chris  Lehman,  General  Representative 
(retired);  John  Borgland,  50-year  mem- 
ber; John  MacDonald,  56-year  member; 
Anthony  Ramos,  executive  secretary  of 
California  State  Council  of  Carpenters; 
James  Throgmorton,  president  of  Local 
1607. 

(2)  ASHEVILLE,  N.C.— At  a  special 
call  meeting  of  Carpenters  Local  384 
seven  members  were  presented  with  25- 
year  membership  pins.  The  presentation 
was  made  by  International  Representa- 
tive Karl  Knopf.  From  left  to  right,  Bro. 
Knopf  is  pinning  the  25-year  member- 
ship pin  on  James  H.  Garren's  lapel. 
Brother  Garren  has  served  this  local  as 


president  and  in  other  capacities  over 
the  years,  also  as  representative  for  the 
N.C.  Piedmont-Western  District  Coun- 
cil, when  it  was  active.  Following  Garren 
are  James  H.  Ingle,  Charles  Hazelrigg, 
Edward  Barnwell,  Marvin  Whitaker, 
John  Presley,  and  A.  G.  Higgins.  An- 
other eligible  member  who  was  not  pres- 
ent was  T.  A.  Tolley,  making  eight  in  all. 

(3)  COHOES,  N.Y.— Carpenter  Local 
99,  Cohoes,  N.Y.,  honored  its  members 
with  25  or  more  years"  service.  This  pic-

Forced  Arbitration 
Bill  Abandoned 

The  White  House  announced  recently 
that  President  Nixon  has  abandoned  his 
labor-opposed  compulsory  arbitration 
bill — at  least  for  this  year. 

Press  Secretary  Ronald  Ziegler  said 
the  Administration  will  seek  to  redraw 
the  legislation,  which  is  aimed  at  barring 
major  strikes  in  transportation-linked  in- 
dustries. He  told  newsmen  the  Adminis- 
tration will  "review"  the  legislation  with 
organized  labor. 

The  Administration's  original  bill, 
Ziegler  said,  "has  no  chance  of  passage 
this  year."

WILLIAM  SIDELL,  General  President 


Burke-Hartke  Points  in  Right  Direction 


■  This  month  I  focus  my  attention  on  the 
serious  problem  of  foreign  trade  deficits. 

Elsewhere  in  this  issue  there  appears  an  article 
by  Nat  Goldfinger,  AFL-CIO  Director  of  Re- 
search, which  deals  with  the  growing  foreign  trade 
crisis  in  the  United  States,  which  1  urge  you  to  read. 

Last  year,  for  the  first  time  since  1888.  the 
United  States  suffered  a  trade  deficit.  It  totaled 
better  than  two  billion  dollars.  If  the  trade  deficits 
chalked  up  during  the  first  three  months  of  this 
year  continue  for  the  rest  of  1972,  the  total  deficit 
for  the  year  will  exceed  $6  billion.  The  prolifera- 
tion of  multi-national  corporations  is  largely  at  the 
bottom  of  the  problem  and  affects  Canada  and  the 
United  States  equally. 

Some  idea  of  the  magnitude  of  the  growth  of 
multi-national  corporations  can  be  gleaned  from 
the  fact  that  American  multi-national  subsidiaries 
abroad  have  become  the  third  largest  productive 
force  in  the  world,  superseded  only  by  the  United 
States  and  Russia. 

ITT  provides  a  classic  example  of  corporate  ex- 
pansion into  many  countries  throughout  the  world. 
This  corporate  giant  has  104,262  employees  in 
some  250  American  installations.  But  it  employs 
191,398  employees  in  some  220  businesses  lo- 
cated in  26  foreign  countries. 

The  power  and  influence  of  this  corporate  giant 
raised  some  serious  questions  when  it  was  dis- 
closed recently  that  ITT  was  trying  to  influence 
an  election  in  a  South  American  country.  In  other 
words,  it  was  acting  as  its  own  department  of  state. 

Under  the  circumstances,  it  seems  illogical  that 
strong  opposition  should  exist  to  legislation  (such 
as  the  Burke-Hartke  bill)  designed  to  bring  Ameri- 
can foreign  trade  into  better  balance.  However, 
the  opposition  is  there,  and  it  is  well  organized 
and  well  financed. 

The  opponents  to  the  Burke-Hartke  bill  insist 
that  foreign  trade  is  a  major  source  of  America's 
strength.  To  interfere  with  free  trade,  they  say, 
would  stir  up  a  hornet's  nest  of  retaliatory  restric- 
tions to  the  import  of  American  goods  in  many 
foreign  nations.  Therefore,  we  dare  not  impose 
any  restrictions  of  any  kind  on  foreign  imports. 


It  is  true  that  exports  to  foreign  nations  pro- 
vided about  500,000  jobs  in  the  five-year  period 
between  1966  through  1970.  What  they  neglect 
to  point  out  is  that  during  the  same  period  govern- 
ment statistics  indicate  that  1.4  million  jobs  were 
lost  because  of  imports  of  goods  from  low-wage 
countries.  Thus,  it  is  clear  that  nearly  a  million 
jobs  went  down  the  drain  in  the  five-year  period, 
1966  through  1970,  because  of  relatively  unre- 
stricted imports  of  goods  from  low-wage  countries. 

More  and  more,  the  United  States  and  Canada 
are  becoming  exporters  of  raw  materials  and  im- 
porters of  goods  involving  substantial  labor,  which 
obviously  has  a  detrimental  effect  on  the  United 
Brotherhood's  industrial  membership  in  the  form 
of  employment  opportunities. 

On  the  financial  ledger,  for  example,  a  million 
dollars  worth  of  wheat,  coal,  hides,  or  timber  ex- 
ported to  Japan  is  a  million  dollars  worth  of  trade. 
On  the  other  hand,  a  million  dollars  worth  of 
cameras,  television  sets,  tape  recorders  and  milled 
wood  components  imported  from  Japan  also  add 
up  to  a  million  dollars  in  trade.  The  difference 
is,  the  goods  exported  to  Japan  involved  very 
little  labor.  On  the  other  hand,  the  goods  im- 
ported involved  substantial  in-puts  of  labor.  It 
is  obvious  who  comes  out  on  top  in  such  a  setup. 

I  believe  that  imports  and  exports  should  be 
measured  in  man-hours  of  work  involved  as  well 
as  in  dollars  and  cents. 

Canada  is  as  much  a  victim  of  this  process  as 
the  United  States.  In  fact,  Canada  has  to  contend 
with  a  double  problem.  The  growing  domina- 
tion of  Canadian  industry  by  U.S.  capital  is  giving 
some  concern  to  many  Canadians.  On  the  other 
hand,  purely  Canadian  corporations  are  going 
multi-national,  too.  The  same  flood  of  goods 
manufactured  in  Hong  Kong  and  Taiwan  is 
shrinking  the  Canadian  job  market  at  a  time  when 
unemployment  is  reaching  desperate  proportions. 

The  time  has  arrived  when  remedial  measures 
must  be  taken.  Burke-Hartke  may  not  be  the 
complete  answer,  but  it  does  provide  a  step  in 
the  right  direction.  ■

Stanley  gives 

today's  best  routers 
even  more  power 


Two  of  today's  most  popular  ball  bearing  routers 
have  been  given  even  greater  power  and  capacity. 

Model  91264  at  $77.00  now  produces  a  full  1 
h.p.;  Model  91267  at  $87.00  has  a  full  IVi  h.p. 
Each  router  will  now  accept  Va"  shank  diameter  bits, 
as  well  as  '/*",  using  either  of  two  collets  furnished. 
Use  of  heavier  %"  shank  bits,  however,  assures  less 
breakage  under  heavier  torques  and  feeds. 

Motors  have  welded  (not  soldered)  leads.  Microm- 
eter depth  settings  are  in  .004"  increments.  Three 
position  handles  provide  fatigue-free  operation,  bet- 

P.S.     Made  by  the  same  Stanley 


ter  control,  with  convenient  thumb  switching  with- 
out removing  either  hand.  A  switch-operated  shaft 
lock  permits  one-wrench  bit  changes.  And  only 
Stanley  routers  have  a  built-in  light  for  better  visi- 
bility for  the  operator. 

Stanley's  complete  line  of  routers  range  from

THE   COVER 

Pony  Express  mail  left  St.  Joseph, 
Mo.,  at  a  gallop.  After  a  brief  run 
across  Missouri,  the  rider  reached 
Kansas  prairies  and  arrived  at  his 
first  relay  station  in  Kansas,  Elwood, 
on  the  west  bank  of  the  Missouri 
River.  There  were  several  stops,  and 
then  he  reached  Hollenberg  on  the 
Little  Blue  River  and  crossed  into 
Nebraska. 

The  Hollenberg  Station,  restored 
by  skilled  craftsmen,  is  shown  on  our 
September  cover. 

From  April,  1860,  until  October, 
1861.  the  Pony  Express  carried  mail 
by  fast  horse  from  St.  Joseph,  Mo.,  to 
Sacramento,  Calif., — a  distance  of 
1,838  miles.  Established  by  the 
freighting  and  stagecoach  firm  of 
Russell,  Majors,  and  Waddell,  the 
Pony  Express  lasted  only  a  year  and 
a  half,  until  a  transcontinental  tele- 
graph line  was  pushed  through  to  the 
West  Coast  in  October,   1861. 

During  its  brief  life  it  dramatized 
the  role  of  the  nation's  mail  carriers. 
They  suffered  Indian  attacks,  foul 
weather,  and  other  hardships  to  get 
the  mail  through.

EARLY  DETECTION  CUTS  TRUST  FUND  COSTS,  SAVES  LIVES 


The  multi-phasic 
testing  includes  an  eye 
examination  which 
checks  for  near 
vision,   color   blind- 
ness,  nearest   point  of 
accommodation  and 
far  vision. 


Teeth  are  not  neg- 
lected by  the  exami- 
nation. Here,  Thiel 
undergoes  an  X-ray 
of  his  mouth.  Mrs. 
Bettye    Akin    operates

■  A  health  testing  program  cov- 
ering more  than  8,000  outside  Car- 
penters in  the  St.  Louis,  Mo.,  area 
has  been  launched  by  the  Carpen- 
ters District  Council  of  Greater  St. 
Louis,  and  it  could  well  serve  as  a 
model  for  other  Brotherhood  coun- 
cils faced  with  rising  medical  costs 
under  their  existing  health  and  wel- 
fare trust  funds. 

The  program  puts  a  man  or 
woman  through  a  60-foot  mobile 
health  center  administering  more 
than  100  tests  in  about  25  minutes. 
The  tests  are  then  sent  to  a  central 
laboratory  for  study  and  analysis, 
after  which  a  complete  medical  his- 
tory is  returned  to  the  person's  own 
doctor. 

The  program  is  conducted  by 
American  Health  Profiles,  Inc.,  of 
Nashville,  Tenn.,  and  it  costs  the 
individual  member  nothing.  The 
actual  $40  per  man  cost  is  borne  by 
the  council's  health  and  welfare 
plan's  trust  fund. 

The  value  of  the  plan  was  dem- 
onstrated in  the  results  of  a  test  run 
conducted  last  fall  by  AHP  in  which 
426  Carpenters  underwent  the  tests 
just  outside  the  shops  and  planing 
mills  where  they  work.  Only  109 
of  the  426  taking  part  in  the  test 
were  found  to  be  totally  healthy, 
while  I  19  had  high  blood  pressure, 
5  I  had  progressive  eye  damage,  260 
had  ear  ailments,  30  had  enlarged 
hearts,  and  12  had  tumors  or  nodes 
in  their  lungs. 

On  the  short  trip  through  the  van, 


THE    CARPENTER 


carpenters  participating  in  the  test 
program  are  screened  for  their  med- 
ical history,  measured  for  height 
and  weight,  their  blood  pressure  is 
measured,  they  are  given  an  electro- 
cardiogram, a  chest  x-ray,  a  skin 
test  for  tuberculosis,  a  lung  function 
test,  a  dental  x-ray,  eye  tests,  in- 
cluding those  for  visual  acuity,  color 
blindness  and  hand-eye  coordina- 
tion, a  hearing  test,  a  urinalysis,  a 
blood  analysis  and  for  females,  a 
breast  examination  by  a  specially 
trained  registered  nurse  and  a  smear 
test  to  check  for  cervical  cancer. 

As  a  result  of  the  initial  tests, 
those  persons  are  now  being  treated, 
according  to  Ollie  W.  Langhorst, 
Council  executive  secretary-trea- 
surer, who  has  been  a  prime  mover 
in  establishing  the  screening  pro- 
gram. 

"Initial  results  from  this  test  ef- 
fort convince  us  that  this  is  a  vital 
service  the  union  can  provide  to  its 
members,  because  in  the  long  run, 
it  will  make  them  all  healthier," 
Langhorst  said. 

"We  are  now  in  the  process  of 
discussing  the  merits  of  this  ap- 
proach with  our  employers  and 
trustees  of  our  various  health  and 
welfare  trust  funds  to  see  if  it  can't 
be  expanded  to  all  our  members," 
he  added. 

Langhorst  noted  that  the  program 
has  several  major  objectives: 

•  Provide  a  quick  and  convenient 
way  for  members  to  take  an  an« 
nual  Iiealth  checkup. 

•  To  determine  liealtli  problems  in 
their  very  early  stages  thus  alert- 
ing the  member  to  obtain  cor- 
rective medical  care  quickly 
rather  than  wait  until  it's  a  seri- 
ous problem. 

•  To  lower  the  overall  cost  of 
medical  care  for  carpenters  par- 
ticipating in  the  Health  and  Wel- 
fare Trust  thus  allowing  the 
union-negotiated  health  trust  fund 
to  provide  more  benefits  for  the 
same  dollar  amount. 

•  To  insure  employers  that  they 
have  a  healthy  work  force.  This 
will  mean  less  absenteeism  be- 
cause of  illness  and  will  be  a  di- 
rect benefit  to  their  operations. 

"We  have  known  for  sometime 
that    although   our   members   have

available  one  of  the  best  health  and 
welfare  plans  in  the  country,  the  job 
of  preventive  health  just  wasn't 
being  done,"  said  Langhorst.  "For 
example,  our  members  are  allowed 
up  to  $50  per  year  for  annual  medi- 
cal examinations  yet  we  found  that 
only  one  per  cent  avail  themselves 
of  the  benefit. 

"Because  of  this,  oftentimes  an 
illness  may  not  be  diagnosed  until 
it  has  progressed  to  the  point  where 
it  is  either  incurable  or  requires  ex- 
tensive hospitalization  and  treat- 
ment. In  other  words,  many  people 
just  don't  go  to  a  doctor  until  there 
is  a  crisis. 

"Of  course,  because  these  ill- 
nesses require  so  much  attention, 
hospital  and  doctor  fees  have  gone 
up.  This,  in  turn,  compels  unions 
to  ask  for  higher  employer  con- 
tributions to  their  health  and  wel- 
fare plans.  For  example,  in  1952 
our  union-negotiated  plan  in  the 
shop  and  mill  operations  cost  the 
employer  $4.80  a  month  per  mem- 
ber. Today,  the  plan  costs  the  em- 
ployer $20  a  month  per  member. 
In  the  carpenter  program,  it  started 
at  7'/^  cents  per  hour;  today,  it's  25 
cents  per  hour  with  another  five 
cents  in  1973  for  a  total  of  30  cents 
per  hour. 


"Now,  it  is  evident  that  employ- 
ers are  becoming  more  and  more 
reluctant  to  foot  the  entire  bill,  and 
it  is  getting  to  be  more  difficult  to 
negotiate  higher  and  higher  benefits 
in  new  contracts. 

"In  addition  to  the  human  con- 
cern of  detecting  diseases,  this  pro- 
cedure has  long-range  financial 
benefits  which  will  have  a  very  real 
impact  on  the  entire  economy," 
Langhorst  noted. 

"First,  once  the  initial  heavy 
drain  on  the  trust  fund  is  over,  that 
is,  once  all  the  health  problems 
have  been  detected  and  corrected, 
continuing  health  checkups  will 
keep  our  people  in  a  much  healthier 
state.  This  means  less  of  a  drain  on 
the  health  and  welfare  fund's  re- 
sources, which  in  turn  means  lower 
premiums,  thus  we  can  provide  even 
more  benefits  for  our  members  and 
do  it  for  a  lesser  cost  to  the  em- 
ployer. With  his  overhead  cut,  the 
employer,  in  turn,  will  hopefully 
pass  on  a  savings  to  the  public  who 
is  buying  his  product. 

"In  other  words,  a  preventive 
health  care  program  has  benefits  for 
everyone.  It's  something  we  are 
proud  to  try  because  we  feel  we  owe 
it  to  our  members  to  obtain  for  them

ROUNDUP 


HURRICANE  JOB  TOLL— Over  139,400  workers  made  jobless  by  Tropical  Storm  Agnes  in 
six  East  Coast  states  have  collected  unemployment  compensation  benefits,  and  the 
number  is  still  climbing,  according  to  the  U.S.  Labor  Department. 

Pennsylvania,  hardest  hit  of  the  six  states,  had  registered  98,913  jobless 
workers  due  to  the  flood  through  July  26  who  have  or  are  receiving  benefits. 

The  other  five  states  had  40,500  jobless  workers  who  have  or  are  receiving 
benefits:   Maryland,  14,201;  Virginia,  14,649;  New  York,  11,452;  Florida,  146; 
and  West  Virginia,  52. 

METRfC— A  bill  intended  to  bring  about  the  voluntary  conversion  of  the  United 
States  to  the  metric  system  over  the  next  10  years  was  approved  unanimously 
August  9  by  the  Senate  Commerce  Committee.   The  matter  still  has  to  go  before  the 
full  Congress. 

Under  the  measure,  the  federal  government  would  convert  to  metric  measures 
and  industry  would  be  encouraged  to  start  the  conversion  transition,  spreading 
it  over  a  period  of  years  to  ease  the  expense. 

The  metric  system  replaces  inches,  pounds  and  quarts  with  meters,  kilograms 
and  liters.   A  meter  is  equivalent  to  about  39  inches,  a  kilogram  to  2.2  pounds 
and  a  liter  to  1.01  quarts. 

TO  SPEED  CASE-HANDLING-General  Counsel  Peter  G.  Wash  of  the  National  Labor 
Relations  Board  announced  reorganization  of  his  office  in  an  effort  to  improve 
case-handling  services  at  a  time  when  unfair  labor  practice  charges  and  employe 
election  cases  are  being  processed  at  a  rate  of  40,000  a  year. 

Nash  said  the  caseload  of  the  board  has  nearly  doubled  in  the  past  10  years 
and  that  its  continued  steady  rise  represents  "the  overriding  challenge  facing 
the  NLRB  today." 

The  general  counsel  supervises  43  Labor  Board  field  offices  where  cases 
filed  by  employers,  unions  and  individuals  are  initially  processed. 

APPRENTICE  TALLY— The  number  of  minority  youths  registered  in  Labor  Dept. 
apprentice  programs  last  year  rose  13  percent,  or  2,337,  reaching  an  alltime  high 
of  20,482. 

Outreach  programs  conducted  by  AFL-CIO  Building  &  Construction  Trades 
councils,  the  Workers  Defense  League,  the  Urban  League  and  similar  organizations 
were  listed  by  the  Dept.  of  Labor  as  contributing  to  the  new  minority  totals. 

The  20,482  minority  apprentices  represent  11  percent  of  the  186,236 
apprentices  registered  on  December  31,  1971.   This  compares  to  9.1  percent  of 
those  registered  a  year  earlier,  and  7.7  percent  at  the  end  of  1969. 

The  minorit,y  apprentice  increase  occurred  even  though  the  total  number 
of  registered  ap-orentices  decreased  13,692  during  the  year — from  199,928  at  the 
end  of  1970  to  186,236  at  the  end  of  1971. 

For  those  just  starting  their  apprenticeships  in  1971,  the  minority  increase 
was  even  greater.   Although  the  number  of  new  apprentices  dropped  from  35,079 
to  33,631,  those  from  minority  groups  rose  by  one-third — from  4,089  at  the  end 
of  1970  to  5,427  at  the  end  of  1971. 

Marked  increases  also  showed  up  in  figures  for  the  construction  trades 
which  employ  over  half  of  all  apprentices.   At  the  end  of  December  1971,  of  all 
110,592  apprentices  in  the  trade,  13,372  or  12  percent  were  minority  group 
members.   This  is  an  increase  of  16  percent  over  the  11,543  at  the  end  of 
December  1970,  and  102  percent  over  the  6,603  at  the  end  of  December  1968. 

All  numbers  and  percentages  refer  to  programs  registered  and  serviced  by 
the  Labor  Dept.   The  federal  share  represents  roughly  two-thirds  of  all  registered 
programs.

Time  for  the  Pony  Express  Again 


■  The  cover  picture  on  this  month's 
issue  shows  a  way  station  which 
made  up  a  part  of  the  famed  Pony 
Express,  which  flourished  in  the  mid 
part  of  the  Nineteenth  Century. 

In  its  time  the  Pony  Express  was 
considered  a  monumental  achieve- 
ment. In  a  little  more  than  a  week, 
it  delivered  a  letter  posted  in  Sacra- 
mento, California,  to  St.  Joe,  Mis- 
souri. 

The  day  seems  to  be  approaching 
when  the  Pony  Express  will  once 
again  be  looked  upon  as  a  model  of 
efficiency.  The  post  office  system  has 
become  so  inefficient,  so  disorga- 
nized, and  so  riddled  by  bureauc- 
racy that  the  Pony  Express  looks 
good  by  comparison. 

One  time  last  year  it  took  five 
days  to  deliver  a  letter  from  a  Con- 
gressman's office  to  our  headquar- 
ters building,  despite  the  fact  that 
the  buildings  are  not  more  than 
three-quarters  of  a  mile  apart. 

Tale  of  Two  Cities 

Three-day  service  from  Baltimore 
to  Washington  is  not  uncommon, 
although  the  two  cities  are  barely  40 
miles  apart;  this  despite  the  fact 
that  the  Post  Office  Department 
was  reorganized  two  years  ago  and 
turned  into  a  quasi-government  cor- 
poration to  step  up  efficiency. 

The  Postal  Reform  Act  of  1970 
was  supposed  to  take  the  postal 
service  out  from  under  government 
domination  and  place  it  in  the  hands 
of  people  with  corporate  experience. 
The  Postal  Service  was  going  to  be 
run  gung-ho  like  any  other  free  en- 
terprise endeavor.  Results  were  sup- 
posed to  be  greatly  increased  effi- 
ciency, coupled  with  lower  costs. 
None  of  these  things  transpired.  In- 
stead, the  dreary  record  of  mediocre 
service  has  continued. 

Only  those  who  remember  the 
Post  Office  service  before  World 
War  II  can  appreciate  how  low  the 
service  has  fallen.  Before  1941  there 
were  two  home  mail  deliveries  a  day 
in  the  cities.  A  first  class  letter  need- 
ed a  30  stamp.  The  Post  Office  De- 


partment maintained  a  savings  bank 
service.  Parcel  post  was  a  cheap 
and  relatively  fast  way  to  send  pack- 
ages. 

Since  that  time  home  delivery 
service  has  been  cut  to  once  a  day. 
The  cost  of  first  class  mail  has  gone 
up  from  30  to  80,  the  savings  bank 
feature  has  been  eliminated  com- 
pletely, and  parcel  post  service  has 
become  increasingly  inefficient  even 
as  it  has  become  more  costly. 

What  efficiency  the  new  semi- 
private  post  office  administration  has 
shown  has  been  limited  to  the  area 
of  increasing  postal  rates.  There  it 
has  been  efficiency  itself. 

Second  Class  Increases 

The  Service  is  inaugurating  a 
schedule  by  which  the  cost  of  send- 
ing second  class  matter  will  be  in- 
creased 750%  in  10  years.  Labor 
publications  generally  come  under 
the  second  class  mailing  category. 
Many  of  them  will  be  forced  to  dis- 
continue publication  if  the  sched- 
uled increases  are  adhered  to. 

On  the  other  hand,  the  Post  Of- 
fice Department  has  done  nothing 
about  curtailing  junk  mail  or  re- 
quiring it  to  carry  a  responsible 
share  of  its  delivery  cost.  More  and 
more  the  Post  Office  Service  is  be- 
coming a  cheap  delivery  system  for 


detergent  manufacturers,  razor  blade 
promoters,  and  producers  of  "occu- 
pant" mail. 

Founding  Idea 

The  founding  fathers  who  set  up 
the  postal  service  never  visualized  it 
as  a  tool  for  enriching  manufactur- 
ers and  promoters  of  various  kinds. 
The  original  objective  of  the  Post 
Office  Department  was  to  make  pos- 
sible rapid  exchange  of  correspond- 
ence and  information  at  reasonable 
cost.  That  objective  seems  to  have 
gotten  lost  in  the  shuffle. 

Today,  the  originators  of  junk 
mail  seemingly  are  dominating  the 
Service  without  bearing  a  fair  share 
of  the  cost. 

The  Postal  Service  has  become  so 
inefficient  that  private  delivery  serv- 
ices are  springing  up  everywhere.  A 
so-called  Independent  Postal  Sys- 
tem of  America  seems  to  be  doing 
business  in  at  least  200  cities.  There 
are  at  least  a  dozen  other  independ- 
ent operations.  Some  of  them  are 
offering  to  deliver  Christmas  cards, 
for  50  each,  rather  than  the  80 
charged  by  the  regular  Postal 
Service. 

Like  managers  in  many  other 
walks  of  life,  the  people  operating 
the  U.S.  Postal  Service  are  endeavor- 


SEPTEMBER,    1972 


ing  to  get  the  Service  out  of  red  ink 
by  taking  it  out  of  the  hides  of  the 
postal  workers.  They  have  promul- 
gated a  freeze  on  hiring,  and  they 
are  exerting  subtle  pressures  on  old- 
timers  to  get  them  to  retire.  Efforts 
to  institute  speed-ups  are  common. 
However,  the  new  postal  legisla- 
tion gave  postal  workers  the  right  to 
bargain  collectively,  although  it 
stopped  short  of  including  the  right 
to  strike. 

Little  Expected 

Perhaps,  in  the  long  run.  the 
postal  workers,  through  their  un- 
ions, will  eventually  get  the  service 
back  on  the  track.  It  appears  that 
little  can  be  expected  from  the  cur- 
rent management  which  is  profit- 
oriented  rather  than  service-oriented. 

The  time  is  here  when  the  nation 
must  make  a  determination  as  to 
what  its  postal  service  should  be 
and  do. 

The  founding  fathers  who  set  up 
the  service  visualized  it  as  an  ad- 
junct to  education,  a  means  by 
which  books  and  periodicals,  as 
well  as  letters  between  individuals 
and  firms,  could  be  exchanged  rap- 
idly and  cheaply.  They  did  not  con- 
ceive of  it  as  a  money-making  prop- 
osition. Certainly,  that  original  con- 
cept ought  to  be  valid  today. 

Knowledge  is  expanding  so  rap- 
idly in  all  fields  it  is  vitally  essential 
that  books,  periodicals,  and  news- 
papers be  readily  exchangeable 
through  a  cheap  and  rapid  service. 
These  objectives  ought  to  trans- 
cend any  necessity  for  making 
money  on  the  postal  service.  There- 
fore, the  emphasis  should  be  on  im- 
proving and  upgrading  the  service 
rather  than  concentrating  on  show- 
ing a  profit. 

The  mobility  of  our  population, 
the  decentralization  of  business  in- 
terests, the  necessity  for  centers  of 
learning  to  communicate  with  each 
other  rapidly,  dictate  that  the  fastest 
and  most  efficient  postal  service 
possible  must  have  high  national 
priority. 

The  Pony  Express  was  organized 
and  run  by  men  of  vision,  courage, 
and  determination  to  get  a  difficult 
job  done  well.  It  ought  to  serve  as 
an  inspiration  to  the  people  running 
our  postal  service  in  1972.  ■ 


Nixon^  Trial  Lawyers  Lobby 
Bury  No-Fault  Insurance 


A  last  minute  lobbying  dri\'e  by 
the  Nixon  Administration  and  the 
trial  lawyers  helped  kill  for  this 
session  of  Congress  a  "no-fault" 
automobile  insurance  bill  that  was 
strongly  favored  by  organized  labor. 

By  a  49-to-46  vote,  the  Senate 
sent  back  to  Committee  the  bill 
which  would  have  set  up  a  national 
system  of  no-fault  insurance.  Ex- 
cept for  a  few  exceptions,  the  vote 
against  the  bill  was  largely  made  up 
of  Republicans  and  Southern  Demo- 
cratic conservatives. 

Although,  in  theory,  the  bill  can 
be  revived  during  the  current  ses- 
sion of  Congress,  it  was  generally 
agreed  by  legislative  specialists  that 
the  chances  of  it  being  reported 
back  during  the  relatively  short  time 
left  to  the  92nd  Congress  are  slim. 

Spokesmen  for  the  AFL-CIO  ex- 
pressed deep  disappointment  at  the 
Senate  action  and  declared  that  re- 
vival of  the  measure  during  the  93rd 
Congress  will  be  a  major  labor 
effort.  The  narrow  margin  by  which 
the  bill  was  sent  back  to  the  Senate 
Judiciary  Committee  was  accepted 
as  encouragement  for  passage  of  the 
bill  during  the  coming  year. 

Arguing  against  the  delay  which 
sending  the  bill  back  to  Committee 
means.  Senator  Warren  G.  Magnu- 
son,     Washington     Democrat,     de- 


clared that  automobile  insurance  is 
bordering  on  a  national  scandal  and 
that  immediate  action  should  be 
taken. 

Magnuson  pointed  out  that  Amer- 
icans paid  $14.6  billion  annually  in 
automobile  insurance  premiums,  but 
got  back  only  slightly  more  than  $7 
billion  in  benefits  annually. 

There  are  now  ten  states  that 
have  no-fault  insurance  programs, 
but  only  two,  Massachusetts  and 
Florida,  have  plans  as  strong  as 
that  in  the  Senate  bill.  President 
Nixon  has  expressed  approval  of 
the  no-fault  idea  but  wants  state 
plans  rather  than  a  national  plan. 
Labor  favors  the  national  plan. 

The  AFL-CIO  has  pointed  out 
that  the  crisis  in  auto  insurance  has 
become  greater  as  the  number  of 
automobiles  on  the  roads  increases 
year  by  year.  In  a  recent  article  in 
"The  Federationist,"  the  Federation 
said: 

"National  no-fault  auto  insurance 
is  the  only  alternative  to  the  costly, 
unresponsive,  wasteful  and  arbitrary 
system  which  the  Nation  now  has 
.  .  .  National  no-fault  insurance  will 
provide  solutions  to  the  problems 
which  have  plagued  the  accident 
victim,  policy-holder  and  consum- 
er." (PAD

Why  Do  Some  Houses 
Lose  Their  Roofs 
In  Hurricanes 

. . .  Federal  Researchers  Investigate 


^H^ 


■  Why  certain  houses  too  readily 
lose  their  roofs  in  hurricanes  is  the 
subject  of  an  investigation  being 
conducted  in  Great  Falls,  Montana, 
by  the  National  Bureau  of  Standards 
of  the  U.S.  Department  of  Com- 
merce. 

"We  wanted  to  do  this  research 
in  an  area  where  strong  winds  occur 
frequently,"  the  project  manager. 
Dr.  Richard  D.  Marshall,  says. 
■"Great  Falls  has  winter  gales  of  up 
to  70  miles  per  hour,  roughly  half 
the  wind  speed  associated  with  an 
intense  hurricane." 

Dr.  Marshall  instrumented  a 
house  to  measure  pressure,  wind 
speed,  and  wind  direction.  He  is 
seeking  to  determine  how  wind 
forces  interact  with  architectural 
features  of  the  house — shape  of  the 
roof,  length  of  overhang,  height  of 
the  roof  above  ground,  etc.  By  mea- 
suring the  loads  that  Montana's 
winds  impose  on  a  house,  it  is  pos- 
sible to  calculate  the  loads  which 
would  be  inflicted  by  hurricane 
gales.  And  knowing  (by  structural 
analysis)  what  the  house's  roof  sys- 
tem can  withstand,  it  is  possible  to 
predict  failures. 

The  project  is  a  cooperative  study 
of  the  Bureau,  the  Army,  the  Navy 
and  the  Air  Force. 

The  instrumented  house  is  at 
Malmstrom  Air  Force  Base,  just 
outside  Great  Falls.  The  instruments 
and  an  electronic  system  which 
automatically    records    and    stores

their  readings  were  installed  in  early 
November,  1971. 

The  house  is  a  one-story,  four- 
bedroom  ranch  type  with  a  pro- 
nounced roof  overhang.  Such 
houses,  common  to  both  military 
and  civilian  housing,  have  roof  sys- 
tems that  performed  less  than  de- 
sirably under  the  wind  assaults  of 
Hurricanes  Camille  and  Celia  in 
1969  and  1970. 

Lt.  Col.  C.  Y.  Holland,  Jr.,  com- 
mander of  the  341st  CivU  Engineer- 
ing Squadron,  is  cooperating  with 


Dr.  Marshall  in  the  research  project, 
and  hourly  meteorological  data 
gathered  by  the  9th  Weather  Squad- 
ron are  available  to  the  researchers. 

Readings  and  weather  data  will 
be  computer-processed  at  the  NBS 
facilities  in  Gaithersburg,  Maryland. 
These  data,  along  with  a  model  of 
the  home,  will  be  forwarded  to  Col- 
orado State  University  where  wind- 
tunnel  findings  will  be  checked  out 
for  their  simulation  of  the  real 
events  recorded  in  Great  Falls. 

Wind-tunnel  modeling  is  an  inex- 


pensive way  to  test  the  structural 
performance  of  buildings  under 
wind  loading,  but  it  is  felt  that  the 
reliability  of  results  can  be  im- 
proved. To  investigate  the  reliability 
of  tunnel  simulation  is  one  purpose 
of  the  project. 

Similar  work  to  improve  tunnel 
testing  is  underway  at  the  Gaithers- 
burg laboratories.  It  involves  a  four- 
story  NBS  building  which  has  been 
completely  instrumented  to  record 
wind  pressures.  ■

HAWAII'S 


flNCr^NT 

COME  BACK 
TO   LIFE 


The  snarling  faces  of  the  Ki'i, 
images  of  the  ancient  gods  of  Hawaii, 
guard  the  native  temple  at  the  City  of 
Refuge  on  the  Big  Island  of  Hawaii. 
Set  on  poles  above  the  palisades  of  the 
temple  compound,  they  warn  against 
intrusion  onto  sacred  groiuid.  Even 
chieftains  passed  between  them  in  fear 
and  respect. 

The  idols  have  been  recreated  by 
archeologists  and  skilled  wood  carvers 
at  the  City  of  Refuge  National  Histori- 
cal Park,  which  was  established  as  part 


of  the  National  Park  Service  in  1961. 
One  of  the  carved  figures  appears  on 
a  National  Parks  Centennial  air  mail 
stamp  issued  earlier  this  year.  (See  the 
May,  1972,  cover  of  The  Carpenter.) 
The  City  of  Refuge  is  more  proper- 
ly called  the  Place  of  Refuge  —  for 
•hundreds  of  years  a  sanctuary  to 
which  warriors,  fugitives,  and  non- 
combatants  could  retreat  in  safety  and 
from  which  they  could  return  home 
in  peace. 


Dressed  in  native  garb,  Pilipo  Springer,  a  National  Parii 
Service  employee,  sniootlies  the  surface  of  a  dugout 
canoe,  laboriou.sly  carved  and  burned  from  a  single  log. 
One  such  canoe,  is  on  display  beside  the  Royal  Fishponds, 
where  early  Hawaiian  kings  kept  their  fish  fresh. 


A  native  carver,  Anton  Grace,  Sr.,  creates  a  miniature 
figure  for  a  model  of  the  City  of  Refuge  temple  which 
will  be  displayed  in  tlie  visitor  center.  His  forebears  used 
tools  of  sharp  lava  rock  and  obsidian  to  cut  into  the 
wood.  He  uses  modem  conventional  carving  tools. 


Wood  from  the  ohia  tree,  most  common 
native  tree  of  Hawaii  and  an  evergreen 
member  of  the  myrtle  family,  is  used  to 
produce  most  of  the  carvings. 


A  hand-carved  replica  of  an  ancient 
Hawaiian  fence  post  which  stood  outside 
the  tomb-temple  of  the  Kamehameha 
Dynasty  (1795-1872)  is  moved. 


Park  Ranger  Kimo  Simmons  explains  to 
visitors  the  significance  of  the  images 
which  stand  in  the  courtyard  of  the  re- 
stored temple  of  the  City  of  Refuge.

Kansas  Unions,  Labor 
In  '8-for-8'  Campaign 

Over  8,000  Kansas  building  craftsmen 
have  reaffirmed  their  belief  in  eight  hours 
work  for  eight  hours  pay  as  part  of  a 
Kansas  Builders"  Chapter.  Associated 
General  Contractors.  AFL-CIO  Building 
Trades,   productivity  campaign. 

Their  "8  for  8"  campaign  is  an  effort 
to  inform  the  citizens  of  Kansas  that 
now  is  the  time  to  build  and  that  such 
construction  should  be  done  by  Kansas 
contractors  and  Kansas  building  trades- 
men. 

"This  '8  for  8'  campaign  is  a  matter  of 
pride,"  says  Merle  Wagner.  Topeka  con- 
tractor, "both  for  the  building  craftsmen 
and  Kansas  building  contractors.  Kansas 
construction  workers  take  more  pride 
and  put  out  more  effort  to  build  a  build- 
ing in  their  community  than  do  workers 
from  out  of  state. 

"Our  construction  work  force  feels 
Kansas  is  home  and  they  want  to  do 
everything  possible  to  enhance  the  state's 
continued    growth    and   development." 

The  "8  for  8"  campaign  has  been  en-

THE    CARPENTER 


Boston  Construction  Workers  March 
For  Jobs  and  Park  Plaza  Project 


This  was  the  scene  at  Boston's  City  Hall  Plaza  as  thousands  of  construction  workers 
and  their  supporters  gathered  for  a  march  to  the  State  House  to  demonstrate  un- 
employment problems  in  the  State's  construction  trades.  Many  protesters  had  walked 
off  their  jobs,  losing  a  day's  pay  to  participate. 


An  estimated  20,000  "hard  hats"  from 
construction  jobs  and  union  halls  all  over 
Greater  Boston,  Mass.,  recently  con- 
verged on  City  Hall  Plaza  and  marched 
to  the  Massachusetts  State  House  to 
demonstrate  for  more  jobs  and  a  revival 
of  the  Park  Plaza  redevelopment  project, 
which  had  been  turned  down  by  the 
state's  Department  of  Community  Af- 
fairs. 

The  massive  march  for  jobs  was  be- 
lieved to  be  the  largest  single  labor  dem- 
onstration in  "The  Cradle  of  Liberty." 
Thousands    of   members    of   the    United 


Brotherhood  from  the  area  joined  fellow 
building  tradesmen  in  the  demonstration. 
The  $266  million  Park  Plaza  project, 
designed  to  turn  10  acres  in  the  Park 
Square  area  of  Boston  into  a  highrise 
dwelling  and  commercial  complex,  was 
rejected  last  spring  by  the  state  agency. 
Since  the  massive  hard  hat  demonstra- 
tion, June  28.  many  civic  and  profes- 
sional groups  have  taken  the  State  As- 
sembly and  the  governor  to  task  for  not 
moving  ahead  on  the  project  and /or 
other  projects  which  are  needed  and 
would  put  people  to  work.

THE    CARPENTER 


Local  36  Names  Halls 
For  Bartalini,  Risley 


Harry  Yetter,  treasurer  of  Local  36, 
displays  the  two  large  plaques  which  he 
designed  and  constructed  to  honor  the 
late  Chester  R.  Bartalini  and  C.E.  Risley. 

Carpenters  Local  36,  Oakland,  Calif., 
will  honor  two  of  its  former  leaders,  the 
late  Chester  R.  Bartalini  and  C.  E.  Risley, 
by  naming  two  halls  at  union  headquar- 
ters after  them. 

Plaques  bearing  their  names  were  de- 
signed and  constructed  by  Local  36 
Treasurer  Harry  Yetter,  and  these  will 
be  hung  in  the  respective  halls. 

Bartalini,  who  was  executive  secretary 
of  the  Bay  Counties  District  Council  of 
Carpenters  from  1945  until  his  death  in 
1968,  was  also  president  of  the  California 
State  Council  of  Carpenters  from  1958  to 
1968. 

Risley,  who  died  in  1967,  was  business 
representative  of  Local  36  from  1921 
until  his  retirement  in  1961.  He  was  a 
member  of  the  United  Brotherhood 
for  more  than  55  years  and  was  80 
years  old  at  his  death. 

Bartalini's  plaque  will  be  hung  in  the 
main  meeting  hall,  where  he  served  as 
recording  secretary  for  many  years  prior 
to  his  election  as  executive  secretary  of 
the  District  Council. 

Risley's  plaque  will  be  placed  on  the 
wall  of  the  dispatching  hall,  where  he  held 
sway  for  many  years. 

The  redwood  burl  from  which  the 
bases  of  the  plaques  was  cut  was  origi- 
nally six  feet  wide  and  three  feet  thick. 

It  came  from  a  1,000-year-old  tree  in 
the  Point  Reyes  area.  The  letters,  spelling 
out  Risley  Hall  and  Bartalini  Hall  are 
made  of  Burmese  teak  and  carefully 
placed  against  the  highly-polished  back- 
ground of  the  redwood  burl.

New  Rockwell  saw  speeds 
through  tight  comers  with 
accuracy^  safety. 


You  grip  this  new  Rockwell 
Model  648  bayonet  saw  close  to  the 
work.  That  makes  for  greater 
control  through  cuts  and  it  also 
.  makes  the  work  you  do  less  tiring. 

Cuts  close 

This  compact  new  design 
enables  you  to  get  at  places  a  router 
won't  reach — like  counter  cut-out 
jobs.  Its  1"  straight  action  cutting ' 
stroke  lets  you  cut  accurate  90° 
corners  in  up  to  2^2"  stock. 

The  blade  clamp  is  a  revolu- 
tionary wrap  around  type  and  the 
back  up  roller  guides  never  need 
adjustment. 

Double  insulated 

The  tool  is  double  insulated 
for  safety. 

But  the  safety  features  don't 
stop  there.  The  industrial-rated 
Model  648  has  a  see-through  chip 
deflector  that  also  protects  fingers 
from  accidents.  And  there's  a  built 


in  saw  dust  blower  that  keeps  the 
line  of  cut  completely  free  of  dust 
and  chips. 

Power  for  the  Pro 

We've  put  it  all  together  in 
this  saw :  a  cool  running  high  speed 
motor  that  delivers  3200  s.p.m.,  a 
high  torque  gear  reduction  system, 
ball  and  needle  bearings  and 
helical  gearing. 

See  your  Rockwell  Distributor 
Your  Rockwell  distributor  will 
gladly  let  you  try  this  new  saw. 
("Tools-Electric"  in  the  Yellow 
Pages.)  When  you  do,  you'll  agree 
at  $85.00  it's  a  great  buy.  Or  write

Labor  Day  Prediction  For  Canada: 
Continued  Prosperity  Through  1973 


The  economic  future  is  as  unpre- 
dictable as  the  weather,  but  as  of 
Labor  Day  1972,  the  predictions  of 
reputable  authorities  is  that  Canada 
should  enjoy  a  continuation  of  pros- 
perity right  through  1973. 

People  are  buying,  business  has  been 
booming,  industrial  activity  has  been 
increasing,  construction  in  major  cities 
and  in  the  housing  sector  has  been 
well  maintained  and  new  contract 
negotiations  have  been  producing  sat- 
isfactory settlements,  even  though  some 
of  them  have  been  achieved  only  after 
very  tough  bargaining. 

Taking  a  look  at  what  has  bee  a 
happening  in  other  countries  and  other 
parts  of  the  world  makes  Canada  ap- 
pear a  wonderful  country  to  be  in. 
And  it  is — for  those  who  have  steady 
jobs. 

But  too  many  have  not,  and  that 
is  the  big  cloud  on  the  otherwise  rosy 
picture. 

The  Organization  for  Economic  Co- 
operation and  Development,  an  orga- 
nization representing  23  nations  in 
the  democratic  world,  predicts  that 
the  Canadian  economy  will  continue 
strong.  In  fact,  expansion  of  the  econ- 
omy has  been  so  rapid  that  warnings 
are  being  issued  about  another  serious 
inflation  threat. 

But  right  now  Canada's  projected 
growth  is  such  that  it  might  be  ex- 
ceeded by  no  other  nation  except 
Japan. 

So  this  country  is  experiencing  a 
high  growth  rate  and  high  unemploy- 
ment at  one  and  the  same  time.  And 
this  trend  is  likely  to  continue.  There's 
the  rub. 

Canada  has  had  good  times  for 
about  27  months  now,  yet  the  unem- 
ployment rate  across  the  country  is 
over  6%. 

If  growth  continues,  unemployment 
may  be  reduced  to  5Vi%,  but  no  one 


is  predicting  that  it  will  go  much 
below  that  figure.  And  this  is  far  too 
high. 

A  4%  unemployment  level  is  the 
maximum  which  can  be  tolerated.  But 
in  the  17-year  period  from  1953  to 
1970,  unemployment  in  this  country 
has  averaged  about  5%. 

It  is  true  that  the  federal  govern- 
ment has  taken  some  measures  to  im- 
prove the  situation.  It  has  been  pursu- 
ing an  "easy  money"  policy,  it  has  im- 
proved unemployment  insurance,  it 
has  encouraged  manpower  training 
and  has  developed  the  Opportunities 
for  Youth  program  to  help  alleviate 
unemployment   among  young  people. 

Despite  all  these  measures,  about 
600,000  people  are  out  of  work,  many 
of  them  family  men  who  haven't  had 
work  for  many  months. 

Looking  at  economic  growth  and 
wages  and  profits  and  new  social  meas- 
ures, as  well  as  steps  being  taken  to 
protect  the  environment,  Canada  at 
Labor  Day  1972  is  indeed  a  wonder- 
ful place  to  be  .  .  .  for  most  people. 

But  not  yet  for  everyone  able  and 
willing  to  work. 

Good  Government 
Spending  in  Pmiries 

Unemployment  in  the  Prairie  Prov- 
inces— Manitoba,  Saskatchewan  and 
Alberta — is  lower  than  in  the  rest  of 
Canada. 

This  is  very  unusual.  Two  of  the 
three  provinces  are  heavily  dependent 
on  agriculture,  an  industry  which  has 
been  having  price  troubles  in  recent 
years.  Even  Alberta,  despite  its  boom- 
ing oil  business,  is  still  a  good  farm 
province  when  prices  are  right. 

Agriculture  has  been  improving  for 
the  western  farmer  but  this  still  does 
not  account  for  the  very  low  level  of 
unemployment. 


Take  Manitoba.  This  has  been  a 
troubled  province  with  high  levels  of 
unemployment  and  a  slow  economy. 
Then  it  elected  a  New  Democratic 
government  which  took  its  responsi- 
bility for  creating  jobs  seriously. 

As  a  result  Manitoba's  unemploy- 
ment has  been  down  to  just  3  % . 

This  was  achieved  in  large  part  by 
intelligent  government  spending — on 
power  developments,  on  aid  to  mu- 
nicipalities and  on  long-term  capital 
construction  projects. 

The  result  is  that  this  formerly 
lagging  province  is  the  fastest  expand- 
ing province  in  Canada  with  a  growth 
rate  of  over  9  % . 

Even  Ontario,  one  of  the  wealthiest 
areas  on  the  North  American  conti- 
nent, had  unemployment  close  to  5% 
when  Manitoba's  was  down  around 
three. 

At  the  same  time  the  unemployed 
figure  in  the  Atlantic  provinces — New- 
foundland, Nova  Scotia  and  New 
Brunswick — was  over  9%,  in  Quebec 
over  8%  and  in  British  Columbia  al- 
most 8%. 

Jobless  Cost  Canada 
$5  Billion  in  1971 

The  Organization  for  Economic  Co- 
operation and  Development  referred 
to  above  says  in  1971  unemploy- 
ment cost  Canada  about  $5  billion. 

Vancouver  Food 
Prices  Among  Highest 

A  survey  of  food  prices  in  22  ma- 
jor cities  in  Canada  and  the  United 
States  showed  that,  for  a  given  food 
basket  containing  a  good  variety  of 
commonly-used  food  items,  prices 
were  lowest  in  Chicago  and  highest  in 
Cleveland.  The  highest  price  for  the 
basket  was  $24.81,  the  lowest  $20.61. 

Four  Canadian  cities  included 
ranked  from  second  highest  on  the 
list — Vancouver,  $24.34 — to  10th  low- 
est— Toronto  and  Winnipeg,  $22.28, 
with  Montreal  just  a  shade  behind 
with  a  cost  of  $22.36. 

The  survey  was  conducted  by  news- 
paper food  writers  June  29.

CANADIAN    REPORT 

Continued    from    preceding    Page 

federal  bureau  of  statistics  publica- 
tion. Statistics  Canada. 

The  bureau  compiled  basic  wage 
rates  for  14  cities  and  12  construction 
trades  ranging  from  laborers  to  steel 
erectors. 

The  rates  cover  unionized  workers 
and  do  not  include  fringe  benefits  or 
wages  paid  outside  the  major  cities. 

Based  on  the  1961  census  data. 
Statistics  Canada  found  that  carpen- 
ters account  for  about  30  percent  of 
construction  activity. 

Carpenters'  wages,  based  on  an  in- 
dex of  1961  =  100,  were  at  205.3 
last  year.  For  the  first  three  months 
of  1972.  the  index  of  carpenter  rates 
rose  to  214.3. 

The  largest  increases  were  made  in 
Ottawa  and  Saint  John.  Construction 
wage  index  in  Ottawa  last  year  was 
225.9.  The  index  jumped  to  247.1  in 
the  first  quarter  of  this  year. 

Surprisingly  the  Toronto  index  in 
1971  was  only  201.1,  yet  Metro  To- 
ronto has  the  fastest  growing  rate  of 
construction  on  the  North  American 
continent. 

The  1971  index  for  Montreal  was 
215.0,  for  Hamilton  223.4,  for  Wind- 
sor 227.8,  for  Vancouver  199.5. 

Of  course  the  index  does  not  mean 
that  the  wages  themselves  were  not 
higher  in  Toronto  than,  say,  in  Mon- 
treal. Toronto  in  1961  which  is  the 
base  year,  may  have  had  a  higher 
wage  level  than  Montreal  and  the 
differential  in  actual  wages  continues. 

Housing  'Action' 
In  Metro  Toronto 

Metro  Toronto  has  the  highest 
housing  prices  in  Canada.  The  aver- 
age home  has  been  selling  for  around 
$33,000. 

A  similar  home  in  Regina.  Sas- 
katchewan, would  sell  for  half  as 
much.  The  average  home  in  Montreal 
is  selling  for  about  25  percent  less 
than  in  Metro,  in  Ottawa  about  10  to 
1 5  percent  less. 

Last  year  about  750,000  Canadian 
families  moved  from  one  hoine  to 
another.  A  quarter  of  them  moved 
from  one  city  to  another. 

Those  that  moved  out  of  Metro 
Toronto  probably  bought  a  home  for 
considerably  less  than  the  price  they 
sold  their  home  for.  But  still  about 
25%  of  all  immigrants  settle  in  Metro 
Toronto.  That's  where  the  action  is. 


But  for  people  raising  families, 
what  about  a  home  in  a  nice  country 
town? 

Strike  Breakers 
Smash  50  Drives 

A  study  by  the  Ontario  Federation 
of  Labor  in  cooperation  with  the 
Labor  Council  of  Metro  Toronto  found 
that  50  organizational  drives  since 
1965  were  smashed  by  employers 
with  the  aid  of  strikebreakers.  48  were 
efforts  by  locals  of  international  un- 
ions. 

The  study  made  public  at  a  meeting 
of  trade  union  representatives  said 
that  Canada  is  one  of  the  few  nations 
which  tolerates  professional  strike- 
breaking activities. 

It  pointed  out  that  in  the  United 
States  the  professional  strikebreaking 
racket  is  under  some  kind  of  control 
in  40  states. 

The  300-page  report  was  particu- 
larly aimed  at  a  business  called  Cana- 
dian Driver  Pool.  This  company  is 
headed  by  a  man  called  Richard 
Grange,  whose  efforts  have  been  vig- 
orously attacked  by  several  unions 
whose  organizing  work  has  been  frus- 
trated by  Grange's  unscrupulous  meth- 
ods which  included  wiretapping. 

Grange  may  have  been  working  in 
collusion  with  local  police,  former 
police  officials  and  the  Canadian  Man- 
ufacturers Association. 

No  doubt  the  OFL  exposure  is  go- 
ing to  put  a  dent  in  the  Grange  oper- 
ations in  Ontario.  But  only  legislation 
is  going  to  eliminate  his  illegal  activ- 
ities, and  that  is  one  thing  the  700,000 
member  Federation  will  press  for. 

Construction  Unions 
Negotiate  in  BC 

The  six  construction  unions,  includ- 
ing the  Carpenters  which  held  out  for 
better  contract  terms  in  a  major  dis- 
pute in  British  Columbia  (reported  in 
the  last  issue  of  The  Carpenter, 
reached  a  settlement  with  the  construc- 
tion industry  July  31st. 

They  had  been  on  strike  or  lockout 
since  April  28th. 

The  British  Columbia  government 
tried  to  use  its  Mediation  Commission 
to  impose  a  compulsory  settlement  and 
went  so  far  as  to  order  a  return  to 
work.  The  union  membership  resisted. 

Resumption  of  negotiations  brought 
about  a  25-month  contract  for  30,000 
workers,  giving  them  a  raise  of  $1.17 
an  hour  in  wages  and  fringe  benefits.

Political  Stance 

On  August  17  the  Building  and 
Construction  Trades  Department. 
AFL-CIO,  issued  the  following 
statement  regarding  political  en- 
dorsements in  the  campaign  year: 

"The  Building  and  Constniction 
Trades  Department  of  the  AFL- 
CIO,  by  action  of  the  General  Presi- 
dents of  its  seventeen  affiliated  Na- 
tional and  International  Unions, 
strongly  supports  the  July  19  reso- 
lution of  the  AFL-CIO  Executive 
Council  and  will  at  this  time  refrain 
from  recommending  the  election  of 
either  major  candidate  for  the  of- 
fice of  President  of  the  United  States. 

"The  Building  and  Construction 
Trades  Department  also  is  in  com- 
plete agreement  with  the  decision  of 
the  AFL-CIO  to  concentrate  1972 
campaign  efforts  on  the  election  of 
friends  of  Labor  to  the  U.  S.  Senate 
and  House  of  Representatives.  It 
pledges  full  cooperation  to  efforts  to 
obtain  a  new  Congress  responsive  to 
the  interests  and  aspirations  of  work- 
ing people.  The  Department,  there- 
fore, urges  its  affiliates  to  support 
COPE  this  year  to  the  maximum  of 
their  individual  means. 

"The  Building  and  Construction 
Trades  Department  and  its  General 
Presidents  desire  to  make  it  unmis- 
takably clear  that  each  National  and 
International  affiliated  Union  is  ab- 
solutely free  to  assume  its  own  posi- 
tion in  respect  to  the  determination 
of  any  and  all  political  endorse- 
ments."

"The  next  25  years  will  he  the  most  ex- 
citing in  the  history  of  the  United  States 
and  you  must  stand  up  and  do  your  part 
to  make  sure  America  realizes  its  fullest 
potential,"  Bob  Burnes,  executive  sports 
editor  of  the  St.  Louis  Globe  Democrat, 
told  graduates  of  the  St.  Louis,  Mo.,  Car- 
penter Joint  Apprenticeship  Program.  Au- 
gust 1. 

Burnes  was  the  principal  speaker  at 
graduation  e-xercises  for  60  graduates  of 
the  apprenticeship  program  held  in  Car- 
penters' Hall,   1401    Hampton  Avenue. 

"You  are  members  of  a  proud  pro- 
fession," Burnes  told  the  graduates,  "and 
many  people  have  worked  hard  to  make 
a  better  life  for  you.  Now  it  is  up  to  you." 

There  is  something  in  a  man,  he  re- 
minded his  audience,  that  makes  him 
want  to  do  his  job  a  little  better,  caution- 
ing that  there  are  always  those  who  will 
try  to  get  the  ambitious,  industrious  man 
to  slow  down.  "Don't  listen."  Burnes  coun- 
seled. "If  you  are  to  prosper  you  must 
give  100  per  cent  all  of  the  time." 

Citing  the  exploits  of  such  famous 
sports  figures  as  Vince  Lombardi,  late 
coach  of  the  world  champion  Green  Bay 
Packers  who  demanded  and  got  100  per 
cent  from  his  players.  Burnes  advised  the 
graduates  to  go  the  extra  mile,  to  drive 
a  little  harder,  give  a  little  bit  more  than 
is  required  or  needed. 

Returning  again  and  again  to  his  cen-

the  main  ingredients  for  success.  Burnes 
said,  "it  would  be  easy  just  to  show  up 
for  a  job,  do  little  or  nothing  and  go 
home.  But  if  the  Carpenters'  District 
Council  is  to  remain  strong,  indeed,  if  it 
is  to  survive,  "young  voices"  are  needed  to 
prepare  for  leadership  roles." 

Ollie  Langhorst,  chief  executive  officer 
of  the  District  Council  and  secretary  of 
the  Joint  Apprenticeship  program,  served 
as  master  of  ceremonies. 

Langhorst  also  stressed  the  theme  of 
dedication  and  hard  work  in  extending  the 
official  congratulations  of  the  District 
Council  to  the  young  graduates.

DICTIONARY 


This  is  the  13th  of  a  new  feature  series  planned  to  keep  you  better 
informed  on  the  meaning  of  terms  related  to  collective  bargaining, 
union  contracts,  and  union  business.  Follow  it  closely,  and  your  union 
membership  will  become  more  meaningful,  and  your  ability  to  partici- 
pate in  decisions  ^hich  affect  your  future  and  security  ^ill  be  strength- 
ened. It  was  compiled  by  the  International  Labor  Press  Assn.,  and  is 
used  with  permission. 

National  Labor-Management  Relations  Act:  1935  Act,  better  known 
as  Wagner  Act,  often  called  Labor's  Magna  Carta,  guaranteeing 
workers  the  right  to  organize  and  bargain  collectively  through 
chosen  representatives.  Modified  later  by  Taft-Hartley  and  Lan- 
drum-Griffin  Acts. 

National  Labor  Relations  Board:  The  five-member  body  charged 
with  administration  of  the  Labor-Management  Relations  Act.  Its 
members  and  General  Counsel  are  named  by  the  President.  The 
board  supervises  representation  elections  to  determine  the  choice 
of  a  bargaining  agent,  and  processes  cases  arising  from  charges  of 
unfair  labor  practices. 

National  Mediation  Board:  A  body  set  up  by  the  Railway  Labor 
Act  of  1 926,  to  attempt  settlement  of  disputes  between  rail  and 
air  carriers  and  their  employees.  It  also  conducts  representation 
elections. 

no-raiding  agreements:  Agreements  between  international  unions 
not  to  persuade  workers  to  leave  one  union  and  join  another  when 
the  first  union  has  established  bargaining  relationships.  Affiliates 
of  the  AFL-CIO  have  signed  a  general  no-raiding  pact.  Several 
unions  have  bilateral  agreements  covering  the  organization  of  un- 
organized workers. 

non-communist  affidavit:  An  affidavit  by  union  officers  declaring 
they  are  not  members  of  the  Communist  Party.  Required  if  union 
is  to  be  eligible  for  NLRB  services. 

no-strike  clause:  Contract  clause  barring  strike  during  life  of  agree- 
ment. 


o 


observer:  In  collective  bargaining,  an  employee  who  attends,  with- 
out voice,  a  meeting  of  management  and  union  negotiators. 

cccupalional  disease:  Caused  by  the  nature  of  employment,  such  as 
chemical  or  radium  poisoning,  excessive  dust,  the  "bends"  in 
tunnel  boring,  etc. 

old-age  and  survivors'  benefits:  Retirement  income  and  payments 
to  survivors  of  those  eligible  under  social  security  legislation. 

open-end  agreement:  A  union  contract  with  no  expiration  date,  with 
a  provision  that  either  party  can  give  notice  of  a  desire  to  termi- 
nate. 

open  union:  One  which  admits  any  qualified  worker  on  payment  of 
initiation  fee. 

open  shop:  An  unorganized  establishment  or  one  where  union 
membership  is  not  a  condition  of  employment. 

organizer:  A  union  employee  whose  primary  task  is  to  recruit  non- 
union workers. 

out-of-work  benefits:  Union  payments  to  unemployed  members.

The   Stakes! 

•  The  Presidency — ^Who  will  occupy 
the  White  House  and  the  Executive 
Branch  of  government  for  the  next  four 
years? 

•  The  House  of  Representatives — All 
435  seats  up  for  election,  with  about 
80  key  "marginal"  races  that  will  decide 
the  balance  of  power  in  the  next  Con- 
gress. 

•  The  Senate — One-third  of  the  Sen- 
ate, 33  seats,  up  for  election. 

What   Is   cue? 

CLIC  is  the  Carpenters'  Legislative 
Improvement  Committee,  founded  in 
1966  as  the  independent  political  arm 
of  the  United  Brotherhood  of  Carpen- 
ters and  Joiners  of  America.  CLIC  col- 
lects voluntary  contributions  from  Broth- 
erhood members  and  uses  this  money 
to  support  the  campaigns  of  progressive 
legislators  who  support  labor's  goals. 


Political  campaigns  today  cost  many 
thousands  of  dollars.  One  man,  by  him- 
self, can't  do  much  to  support  the  cam- 
paign of  good  candidates.  But  joining 
together  with  thousands  of  his  fellow 
workers  across  the  country,  he  can  do 
a  lot.  That's  the  whole  idea  behind 
CLIC  .  .  .  Brotherhood  members  joining 
together  to  make  their  voice  heard  in 
Washington. 

CLIC  can  put  your  money  to  work 
where  it  will  do  the  most  good,  in  key 
contests  throughout  the  country  where 
your  dollar  can  mean  the  difference 
between  victory  and  defeat  for  a  friend 
of  labor. 

CLIC   Works   For   You! 

In  an  election  year,  hundreds  of  candi- 
dates and  groups  compete  for  your  atten- 
tion and  support.  But  only  one  group 
speaks  just  for  YOU,  as  a  member  of 
United  Brotherhood  of  Carpenters  and 
Joiners   of  America.   CLIC   is   supported

THE    CARPENTER 


mkLiM 

AROUND-CORNERS   BAR 


Someone  finally  did  it:  invented  a  tool 
bar  that  gets  into  tight  spots,  provides 
more  leverage,  and  is  stronger  than  a 
conventional  pry  bar. 

The  new  "Sweetie-Pry"  tool  bar,  just 
introduced  by  JDF  Enterprises,  Inc., 
Placentia,  Calif.,  has  a  new  twist  that 
enables  its  user  to  work  in  confined 
spaces — actually  go  around  corners — 
without  strain  or  damage  to  adjoining 
members. 

The  manufacturer  says  it  has  proven 
through  actual  bending  moment  and  tor- 
sion stress  testing  that  a  %"  diameter 
"Sweetie-Pry"  tool  bar  (the  smallest  size) 
has  two  to  three  times  the  strength  of  a 
conventional  one-inch  diameter  pry  bar. 

The  'Sweetie-Pry'  tool  bar  is  currently 
being  used  to  lift  heavy  cartons  for  pal- 
letizing or  placing  on  dollies,  for  demoli- 
tion work,  to  remove  overhead  wooden 
members  near  the  roofline  of  a  building, 
to  pull  nails  in  confined  spaces,  to  pry 
away  construction  members  between 
studs,  and  a  myriad  other  chores. 

The  tool  bar  is  offered  in  four  sizes, 
ranging  from  the  17"  long  size  through 
an  industrial  size  of  37"  and  ?4"'  di- 
ameter. 

For  more  information  and  complete 
specifications  on  the  new  tool  bar.  write: 
"SWEETIE  PRY"  Tool  Bar  JDF  Enter- 
prises, Inc.  712  Dunn  Way,  Placentia, 
CA   92670. 


NEW  TRY  SQUARE 

The  Fairgate  Rule  Company.  Inc.  of 
Cold  Spring,  New  York,  has  brought  out 
the  Retracto-Pin  Try-Square.  This  try- 
square  has  numbers  on  the  head,  and  it 
measures  in.  two  directions  in  one  opera- 


's 


tion.  The  pin  in  it,  which  springs  in 
and  out,  steadies  the  hand,  prevents  slip- 
page and  dangling,  can  be  used  for  meas- 
uring the  boards  thickness  and  layout  at 
one  glance,  for  cutting  glass,  and  keeping 
corners  perfectly  square  and  for  general 
measuring,  it  excels  all  others,  the  manu- 
facturer assures  us.  The  blade  is  dura- 
aluminum  and  the  head  is  made  of  high 
impact  material.  For  more  information 
write:  Fairgate  Rule  Co.,  Inc.,  Cold 
Spring,  N.Y.  10516. 

PICK-PROOF   PADLOCK 

For  the  carpenter  afraid  of  losing  the 
tools  from  his  toolbox,  this  padlock  offers 
an  entirely  new  concept  in  locks.  With  no 
keyhole  and  no  combination,  this  revolu- 
tionary new  padlock  operates  magneti- 
cally. Permanent  magnets  within  the  lock, 
responding  to  other  specific  magnets  in 
the  key,  operate  the  locking  mechanism. 
A  specially  arranged  magnetic  key,  coded 
to  open  only  your  lock,  fits  a  slight 
indentation  on  one  side  of  the  lock.  You 
have  the  only  key,  and  it  positively 
cannot  be  copied,  except  by  the  factory! 
With  no  combinati'on  that  a  thief  can 
break,  it  is  completely  pick-proof. 
3'/ixl'/2x'/i".  Comes  with  2  keys.  Only 
$5.98  plus  450  postage  each  lock  with 
a  full  money  back  guarantee.  It  is  avail- 
able from  Davidsons,  Dept.  480,  6727

HEALTH   TEST   PLAN 

Continued    from    Page    3 

the  very  best  in  health  care,"  Lang- 
horst  added. 

"With  this  in  mind,  the  Council 
began  searching  for  a  way  to 
economically  protect  the  health  of 
our  members,  thus  reducing  hospital 
and  doctor  costs.  After  an  intensive 
investigation,  we  contacted  Amer- 
ican Health  Profiles  and  asked  them 
to  do  a  preliminary  study.  They 
recommended  a  procedure  called 
Multi-Phasic  Health  Testing  as  the 
most  effective  way  of  accomplishing 
our  goal,"  Langhorst  said. 

The  key  to  the  AHP  plan  is  a 
fully  equipped  and  staffed  portable 
"doctor's  office,"  a  van  which  is 
trucked  to  a  worker's  place  of  em- 
ployment. 

Instead  of  taking  a  day  off  from 
work  to  have  a  physical  examina- 
tion, workers  are  given  104  tests  in 
about  20  minutes  in  the  van  which 
is  parked  right  outside  the  plant  or 


shop.  When  all  of  the  employees 
have  been  tested,  the  van  is  moved 
to  another  location.  Result?  The 
employee  receives  a  complete  phys- 
ical examination  without  ever  leav- 
ing his  place  of  employment  and 
with  no  loss  of  pay. 

The  tests  are  then  checked  at  the 
AHP  headquarters  by  a  number  of 
doctors,  each  specialists  in  their 
own  field.  John  Bransford,  Jr., 
AHP  board  chairman,  noted  that 
the  specialists  submit  their  reports 
to  an  internist  who  in  turn  reviews 
them  and  writes  a  comprehensive 
report.  This  is  sent  to  the  worker's 
own  doctor  who  can  use  it  as  the 
basis  for  any  medical  treatment.  In 
cases  where  major  problems  are  de- 
tected, the  person  is  contacted  im- 
mediately by  telephone,  Bransford 
noted. 

The  council  has  projected  that, 
based  on  similar  test  groups  of  car- 
penter members  which  were  not 
screened,  the  Shops  &  Mills  Trust 
Fund  would  have  saved   in  actual 


claims  payments  almost  $437,000  in 
a  year,  or  an  average  of  $190  for 
each  member  participating  in  the 
health  and  welfare  program,  had 
they  all  been  screened.  A  four- 
month  test  period  was  used  for  the 
projection,  comparing  actual  claims 
made  by  participants  in  both 
groups. 

"This  has  some  very  significant 
meaning  for  our  members,"  Mr. 
Langhorst  said.  "With  medical 
costs  soaring,  this  might  well  be  the 
answer  to  providing  more  services 
to  our  members  at  a  reasonable  cost 
to  the  employer  who  must  ulti- 
mately pay  the  costs  we  negotiate. 
This  could  very  well  be  the  major 
breakthrough  in  delivering  medical 
care  to  our  members  since  we  began 
a  fully  paid  health  and  welfare 
plan." 

The  district  council  represents 
more  than  1 1 ,000  carpenters  work- 
ing in  22  counties  surrounding  met- 
ropolitan St.  Louis.  ■

and  Medicaid  patients  exclusively.  Even  if  this  were 
the  case,  at  the  rate  of  $200,000  a  year,  they  received 
$100  per  hour  for  their  services,  a  figure  that  certainly 
seems  hard  to  justify. 

All  this  merely  focuses  attention  on  the  need  for 
a  comprehensive  national  health  insurance  program. 
The  Kennedy-Griffiths  approach,  because  it  is  compul- 
sory and  because  it  contains  some  reasonable  tech- 
niques for  measuring  medical  services  and  establishing 
reasonable  charges,  holds  the  only  real  promise  for 
bringing  medical  services  into  some  sort  of  balance, 
both  as  to  quality  and  to  cost. 

While  hope  is  dim  that  anything  will  be  done  about 
national  health  insurance  this  year,  there  is  some  rea- 
son to  hope  that  the  $5.2  billion  Health  Maintenance 
Organization  bill  will  get  some  action  before  Congress 
adjourns. 

Late  in  July,  the  Senate  Labor  and  Public  Welfare 
Committee  voted  out  the  bill.  The  objective  of  this 
measure  is  to  encourage  the  construction  of  health 
centers  and  the  establishment  of  regional  medical  pro- 
grams. The  bill  calls  for  over  half  a  billion  dollars  of 
construction  over  the  next  three  years  to  help  upgrade 
the  availability  as  well  as  the  quality  of  health  care. 

However,  the  most  important  aspect  of  the  Health 
Maintenance  bill  is  that  it  would  establish  an  inde- 


^^ 


pendent  and  permanent  commission  for  studying  the 
entire  health  care  system,  with  the  aim  of  devising 
and  promoting  programs  to  provide  the  quality  and 
quantity  of  health  care  that  citizens  of  the  richest 
nation  on  earth  should  have. 

However,  the  medical  dilemma  will  never  be  really 
solved  until  such  time  as  a  comprehensive  national 
health  insurance  program  is  adopted. 

Canada,  too,  suffers  from  lack  of  a  comprehensive 
national  plan.  In  some  provinces  health  care  is  fairly 
good.  In  others,  it  is  poor.  So  Canada,  too,  has  a  stake 
in  the  development  of  comprehensive  medical  care  on 
a  national  basis.  ■

WILLIAM  SIDELL,  General  President 


Uncontrolled  Medical  Costs— Xike  a  Dog  Chasing  Its  Tail' 


■  One  of  the  major  political  objectives  set  by  the 
labor  movement  for  1972  was  passage  of  a  national 
health  program  containing  all  the  features  spelled  out 
in  the  Kennedy-Griffiths  bill. 

Unfortunately,  this  major  objective  got  sidetracked 
somewhere  along  the  line,  and  there  seems  little  like- 
lihood that  Congressional  action  can  be  expected  this 
year.  This  is  sad,  indeed,  because  no  domestic  prob- 
lem causes  more  widespread  concern  among  working 
people  than  the  escalating  costs  of  medical  care.  Not 
even  a  moderately  wealthy  individual  can  cope  with  a 
catastrophic  medical  case  involving  protracted  medical 
care. 

A  story  elsewhere  in  this  issue  spells  out  the  unique 
approach  which  the  St.  Louis  District  Council  has 
instituted  in  an  effort  to  do  something  about  upgrading 
health  care  and  keeping  medical  costs  within  afford- 
able limits. 

The  St.  Louis  plan  involves  a  testing  program  giving 
members  a  thorough  periodic  medical  check  as  a  pre- 
ventive measure.  The  results  of  the  first  test  were  a 
real  eyeopener.  Some  465  men  and  women  were  given 
checkups.  Alarmingly,  only  109  were  found  to  be 
healthy  enough  not  to  require  prompt  medical  atten- 
tion, including  surgery  in  many  cases. 

This  is  a  sad  commentary,  indeed,  on  the  quality 
of  the  medical  delivery  system  currently  prevailing 
in  the  nation.  Surely,  many  of  the  465  members  ex- 
amined had  some  twinges  or  other  indications  that 
something  was  amiss.  However,  many  of  them  un- 
doubtedly failed  to  consult  a  doctor  because  of  a  fear 
of  incurring  a  substantial  bill  despite  any  health  and 
welfare  insurance  which  may  have  been  involved. 

Over  the  years,  union  health  and  welfare  plans  have 
negotiated  seemingly  liberal  contributions  into  their 
trust  funds,  but  these  contributions  seldom  proved 
to  be  adequate.  It  has  been  something  like  a  dog  chas- 
ing its  tail;  every  increased  contribution  to  the  health 
and  welfare  program  turned  out  to  generate  higher 
medical  fees. 

Even  Medicare  is  proving  to  be  totally  inadequate 
for  taking  care  of  the  full  health  needs  of  older  citi- 


zens who  depend  primarily  on  their  pensions  for  their 
livelihood. 

According  to  Sidney  Margolius,  labor's  oldest  con- 
sumer expert,  people  over  65  are  laying  out  almost 
as  much  for  medical  care  in  1972  as  they  were  in 
1966,  before  Medicare  went  into  effect. 

In  1966,  the  average  oldster  shelled  out  $234  for 
medical  bills.  In  1971,  although  he  had  Medicare, 
he  shelled  out  $225.  In  other  words.  Medicare  has 
made  a  difference  of  about  $9  on  the  average. 

Margolius  cites  an  instance  of  an  elderly  woman 
running  up  a  total  bill  of  $747  during  a  recent  illness. 
When  her  account  with  Medicare  was  settled,  she  got 
back  $426,  or  57%  of  her  actual  medical  expenses. 
The  rest  she  had  to  pay  out  of  her  own  meager  re- 
sources. 

Of  course,  it  is  logical  to  assume  that  under  Medi- 
care many  oldsters  are  getting  a  good  deal  more 
medical  attention  than  they  did  before  Medicare,  when 
too  many  simply  would  forego  needed  services  for 
fear  of  big  doctor  bills. 

At  the  bottom  of  the  problem  is  the  total  lack  of 
any  kind  of  control  of  medical  costs  by  any  effective 
agency. 

As  far  as  Medicare  is  concerned,  the  problem  is 
compounded  by  the  fact  that  insurance  companies 
oversee  and  administer  the  payment  of  benefits  in 
most  areas. 

Under  Medicare  regulations.  Medicare  pays  80 
per  cent  of  reasonable  charges  for  doctors'  services. 
That  word  "reasonable"  has  become  a  sticky  point. 

In  determining  what  is  reasonable,  the  Social  Secur- 
ity Administration  uses  two  yardsticks.  The  charge  is 
reasonable  if  (a)  it  is  no  higher  than  the  doctor  has 
been  customarily  charging  all  his  patients,  or  (b)  it 
is  no  higher  than  the  charges  made  for  that  service  in 
three-quarters  of  the  cases  handled  by  other  doctors 
in  the  locality.  Obviously,  these  are  difficult,  if  not 
impossible,  yardsticks  to  administer.  Therefore,  abuses 
by  doctors  are  rather  widespread. 

In  the  Washington  area  earlier  this  year,  there  were 
cases  uncovered  where  individual  doctors  were  col-

OOK! 


During  World  War  II  a  great  football  stadium  was  the  scene  of  a  nighttime  War  Bond  rally.  To  illustrate 
COMBINED  EFFORT,  the  rally  chairman  called  on  every  individual  in  the  packed  stadium  to  take  out  a  book 
of  matches  and,  when  a  signal  was  given,  to  light  ONE  MATCH.  The  floodlights  were  turned  off,  a  bugle  blew 
one  note  into  the  jet-black  night,  and  the  more  than  30,000  people  there  each  lit  one  match.  The  stadium  was 
instantly  lighted  up  AS  BRIGHT  AS  DAY!  It  dramatically  illustrated  how  many  small  efforts,  properly  coordi- 
nated, can  yield  astounding  results! 

Now  Another  Great  Cause  ^ 

Today  organized  labor  .  .  .  and  the  United  Brotherhood  .  .  .  are  engaged  in  a  legislative  war;  fighting 
reaction,  resisting  the  assaults  of  anti-labor  forces  which  would  take  away  the  social  and  economic  gains  we 
have  achieved  through  legislation.  Every  day  we  must  carry  our  causes  to  Congress.  We  must  effectively 
support  liberal  legislators  and  defeat  our  legislative  enemies  as  Samuel  Gompers  so  wisely  counselled. 
To  do  this  requires  money.  We  need  the  COORDINATED  EFFORTS  of  all  of  our  members.  We  need  your 
voluntary  contributions  of  money.  If  everyone  does  his  and  her  part  we,  too,  can  achieve  success;  we  can 
"light  up  the  stadium"  and  illuminate  the  issues  important  to  us  as  they  come  before  Congress.  Be 
GENEROUS  when  you  are  asked  for  a  CLIC  contribution  by  your  local  union's 
Financial  Secretary  or  a  local  union  committeeman  named  to  work  in  behalf 
of  CLIC.  You  will  be  wisely  protecting  your  own  interest  when  you  do! 

The  Carpenters'  Legislative  Improvement  Committee  is  an  independent  committee  associated 
with  the  United  Brotherhood  of  Carpenters  and  Joiners  of  America.  It  has  not  been  author- 
ized by  any  candidate  to  act  on  his  behalf,  and  no  candidate  is  responsible  for  any  activity 
of  cue.  A  copy  of  our  report  filed  v/ith  the  appropriate  supervisory  officer  is  (or  will  be)

THE   COVER 

The  color  and  excitement  of  the 
annual  International  Carpenters  Ap- 
prenticeship Contest  is  evident  on  our 
October  cover. 

The  five  color  photographs  we  dis- 
play show  some  of  the  activity — a 
general  view  of  the  Convention  Cen- 
ter at  the  Las  Vegas  Hilton,  where 
the  manipulative  tests  were  held;  three 
pictures  of  the  hands  of  busy  appren- 
tices at  work — a  cabinetmaker's,  a 
carpenter's,  and  a  millwright's;  and, 
finally,  the  three  first-place  winners, 
beaming  proudly  with  their  trophies. 

To  accommodate  the  manipulative 
tests,  the  hotel  spread  vinyl  sheets 
atop  its  carpeting,  taped  them  down, 
and  created  booths  from  ropes,  pen- 
nants, and  low,  plastic  posts.  Power 
lines  dropped  from  fixtures  in  the 
ceiling,  and  the  full  hghting  of  fluor- 
escent banks  and  chandeliers  illumi- 
nated the  hall. 

There  were  44  booths  prepared  for 
the  contest,  and  nearly  all  were  filled 
on  the  two  days  of  competition,  as  41 
carpenter  apprentices,  21  millwrights, 
and   15  cabinetmakers  competed. 

After  the  contest  was  completed  on 
Friday  evening,  hotel  workers  and 
members  of  the  Brotherhood  staff 
worked  quickly  to  clear  the  hall  of 
all  tools,  projects  and  debris,  and 
prepare  the  big  room  for  the  awards 
banquet  on  Saturday  night. 


BROTHERHOOD  MAINTAINS  TRADITIONAL  POLICY 

•  •  .  will  not  endorse 
Presidential  Candidate  or  Political  Party 

The  following  is  a  statement  of  policy  adopted  by  the  General  Executive  Board  of  the  United 
Brotherhood    of    Carpenters    and    Joiners    of  America,   AFL-CIO,   at  its   recent   meeting. 


■  Since  its  founding  in  1881,  the  paramount 
political  concern  of  the  United  Brotherhood  of 
Carpenters  and  Joiners  of  America,  AFL-CIO, 
has  been  that  the  government  of  the  United 
States  be  composed  of  administrators  and  legis- 
lators anxious  and  able  to  provide  a  better  life 
for  all  the  citizens  of  the  nation — a  life  of  security 
and  dignity,  with  continually  better  education, 
better  housing,  better  health  care,  better  working 
conditions,  better  opportunities,  better  wages  for 
better  performance. 

The  active  political  participation  of  the  United 
Brotherhood  has  been  directed  to  the  achievement 
of  these  specific  goals  through  the  election  of 
individuals  who  are  dedicated  to  a  particular 
philosophy  or  objective,  not  because  they  are 
identified  with  a  particular  political  party. 

In  presidential  election  years,  it  has  been  the 
practice  of  the  General  Executive  Board,  almost 
without  variance,  to  refrain  from  recommending 
to  the  membership  the  election  of  either  major 
party  candidate  for  the  presidency  of  the  United 
States.  Instead,  the  Board  has  urged  that  the 
more  than  800,000  men  and  women  in  the  United 
Brotherhood  determine  for  themselves  which 
candidates  for  all  public  oflRce  meet  our  criteria 
for  the  achievement  of  a  more  noble  existence. 

Therefore,  it  is  the  position  of  the  General 
Excutive  Board  that  in  this  election  year  of  1972 
we  continue  the  practice  enunciated  above. 

We  again  strongly  recommend  to  each  member 
of  the  United  Brotherhood  that  he  or  she  do  every- 
thing in  his  power  to  obtain  the  election  of  those 
candidates  who  can  improve  the  quality  of  the 
life  of  every  American,  irrespective  of  color,  faith 
or  economic  station. 

That  is  the  basic  reason  that  the  members, 
through  their  own  voluntary  contributions,  have 
set  up  the  Carpenters  Legislative  Improvement 
Committee  (CLIC). 

It  is  the  local  unions,  it  is  the  individual  mem- 
bers, who,  in  the  final  analysis,  must  get  out  and 
work  for  the  materialization  of  their  hopes  and 
aims.    It  is  the  local  unions  and  the  membership 


which  should  study  the  backgrounds  and  records 
of  the  candidates  and  then  support  those  dedicated 
to  the  ideals  and  aspirations  of  America's  work- 
ing men  and  women. 

The  main  consideration  is  not  which  political 
party  solves  the  gnawing  problems  of  our  times. 
The  crucial  factor  is  that  these  difficulties  be  re- 
solved in  the  best  interests  of  all. 

In  this  year,  perhaps  more  than  in  any  year 
of  our  history,  the  problems  are  so  enormous  that 
it  will  require  an  unprecedented  effort  on  the 
part  of  each  member  of  the  United  Brotherhood 
of  Carpenters  and  Joiners  of  America,  AFL-CIO, 
if  improvement  and  progress  for  our  nation  are 
to  ensue.  This  is  the  time  for  total  political  in- 
volvement, not  observation  from  the  sidelines. 
This  is  the  moment  to  elect  those  who  endorse 
our  desires  and  defeat  those  who  would  shatter 
our  dreams.    ■ 


SAMUEL  COMPERS 
on  PoUticai  Action 

To  the  frequent  queries  as  to  my  per- 
sonal politics  I  make  this  answer: 

In  religion  I  am  a  workingman.  In  poli-

THE    CARPENTER 


General  Executive  Board  Concludes  Continued 
Operation  of  Carpenters'  Home  Is  No  Longer 
In  Best  Interest  of  Overall  Membership 


■  For  the  past  20  years  the  Gen- 
eral Executive  Board,  the  Home  and 
Pension  Committee,  and  the  dele- 
gates to  the  General  Conventions, 
have  wrestled  with  the  problem  of 
continuing  the  operation  of  the  Car- 
penters' Home.  This  has  been  a  dif- 
ficult problem  because  the  cost  of 
operating  the  Home  has  steadily  in- 
creased while,  at  the  same  time,  the 
number  of  residents  at  the  Home  has 
declined.  In  each  instance  where  the 
problem  was  wrestled  with,  the  dif- 
ficult determination  of  closing  the 
Home  was  avoided.  Sentiment  in- 
variably triumphed  over  logic.  Some 
minor  income  provisions  were  usual- 
ly made  and  the  Carpenters'  Home 
continued  to  operate. 

Recent  legislation  in  the  State  of 
Florida  brings  this  problem  to  the 
crossroads  again.  This  time,  how- 
ever, minor  income  provisions  will 
not  solve  the  problem.  To  meet  the 
facility  requirements  of  this  legisla- 
tion will  require  a  capital  expendi- 
ture of  at  least  half  a  million  dollars 
and  more  likely  a  million  dollars  or 
more.  To  meet  the  operational  re- 
quirements and  procedures  of  this 
legislation  also  will  substantially  in- 
crease the  day-to-day  operating 
costs  of  the  Home. 

The  General  Constitution  and 
Laws  does  not  provide  funds  for 
capital  expenditures  for  the  Carpen- 
ters' Home;  therefore,  there  are  no 
funds  for  this  required  remodeling 
or  construction.  Operational  costs 
at  the  Carpenters'  Home  are  now 
approximately  $20,000  per  month 
more  than  income  from  per  capita 
tax. 

For  these  reasons  continued  op- 


eration of  the  Carpenters'  Home  will 
require  a  substantial  per  member 
assessment,  or  per  capita  tax  in- 
crease, or  both. 

The  General  Executive  Board 
concludes  that  there  is  no  longer  the 
same  need  for  the  Carpenters'  Home 
as  there  was  when  it  was  originally 
estabUshed.  Therefore,  considering 
the  fact  that  the  number  of  residents 
at  the  Home  is  steadily  decHning 
and  that  the  continued  operation  of 
the  Home  would  require  placing  a 
substantial,  additional  tax  on  the 
overall  membership,  the  General 
Executive  Board  determined  that  the 
continued  operation  of  the  Carpen- 
ters' Home  is  not  in  the  best  interest 
of  the  overall  membership. 


In  any  event  the  current  occu- 
pants of  the  Home  will  be  provided 
proper  care  for  the  rest  of  their  natu- 
ral lives.  This  commitment  is  con- 
tained in  the  referendum  proposition 
itself. 

The  General  Executive  Board 
has,  therefore,  submitted  this  propo- 
sition to  the  membership  in  a  Spe- 
cial Referendum  which  will  take 
place  in  your  local  union.  The  Gen- 
eral Executive  Board  suggests  that 
you  read  this  proposition;  that  you 
attend  your  local  union  meeting  on 
this  matter;  and  that  in  the  best  in- 
terest of  the  overall  membership  you 
vote  "Yes"  on  this  proposition,  the 
text  of  which  is  reprinted  below.  ■ 


Special  Referendum 

For  the  past  forty-two  years  the  Carpenters'  Home  in 
Lakeland,  Florida,  has  been  maintained  to  provide  care 
and  comfort  for  retired  members  of  the  United  Brother- 
hood. When  first  established  the  Home  served  a  serious 
need  to  provide  for  our  retired  members  who  often  ended 
their  years  of  work  at  the  trade  without  the  financial 
ability  to  adequately  care  for  themselves  through  long 
years  of  retirement. 

As  the  years  have  passed  social  security  and  medicare 
have  been  adopted,  private  pensions  have  been  estab- 
lished and  benefits  increased,  and  the  need  of  our 
members  for  the  Home  has  correspondingly  decreased. 
In  earlier  years  it  was  common  for  the  Home  to  have 
over  300  residents;  today  there  are  only  about  200  mem- 
bers residing  at  the  Home.  Of  course,  costs  of  operating 
and  maintaining  the  Home  have  constantly  increased  and 
over  the  years  the  membership  has  carried  an  ever 
increasing  financial  burden  in  order  to  provide  for  our 
retired  brothers. 

Although  we  have  all  worked  long  and  hard  to  keep 


OCTOBER,    1972 


the  Home  in  operation,  we  arc  now  faced  with  a  crisis. 

A  decision  must  be  made  which  only  the  membership 
can  maice. 

Under  recent  legislation  in  the  State  of  Florida,  and 
Emergency  Rules  of  the  Florida  Department  of  Health 
and  Rehabilitative  Services,  Division  of  Health  which 
were  effective  in  February,  1972.  strict  new  standards 
have  been  established  with  which  facilities  such  as  the 
Carpenters'  Home  must  comply  if  they  are  to  continue 
to  operate.  Inspections  were  made  of  the  Carpenters' 
Home  by  officials  of  the  State  of  Florida  and,  by  letter 
dated  February  21,1  972.  we  were  notified  by  the  Division 
of  Health  that  in  order  to  meet  stringent  new  licensing 
requirements  the  Home  would  have  to  meet  the  Florida 
standards  for  nursing  homes  and  homes  for  the  aged. 

Through  negotiations  we  arrived  at  an  understanding 
with  the  Division  of  Health  whereby  they  agreed  that  the 
Home  was  not.  under  the  law.  either  a  nursing  home  or 
a  home  for  the  aged,  but  a  residential  home  for  retired 
carpenters  and  thus  not  subject  to  many  of  the  new 
legal  requirements.  However,  the  Division  of  Health  ruled 
that  the  hospital  facilities  maintained  at  the  Home, 
which  are  an  essential  part  of  the  Home,  would  come 
under  the  legal  requirements  and  that  extensive  remodel- 
ing or  new  construction  would  be  necessary  before 
licensing  could  be  obtained.  We  were  able  to  do  some 
minor  repair  work  with  available  operating  and  main- 
tenance funds,  and  as  a  result  were  able  to  obtain  a 
provisional  license  to  operate  the  Home  until  December 
31.  1972.  upon  our  agreement  that  action  would  be  taken 
to  meet  the  new  legal  requirements. 

We  were  given  three  alternatives  by  the  Division  of 
Health  if  we  are  to  continue  to  operate  the  Home  after 
December  31.  1972: 

1 .  Complete  remodeling  of  the  present  nursing  wing 
on  the  third  floor  of  the  Home;  or 

2.  Relocation  of  the  present  nursing  wing  on  the  first 
floor  of  the  Home;  or 

3.  Construction  of  a  new  nursing  wing. 

We  thereupon  retained  the  services  of  Renfroe-Setliff- 
Regnvall.  an  architectural  firm  in  Lakeland.  Florida,  ex- 
perienced in  hospital  construction,  and  requested  that 
they  make  a  feasibility  study  as  to  each  of  the  three  alter- 
natives with  the  understanding  that  all  changes  required 
by  the  law  and  regulations  would  be  made. 

We  received  a  report,  dated  June  20.  1972.  from 
Renfroe-Setliff-Regnvall  with  the  following  estimate  of 
probable  costs  for  each  of  the  three  alternatives: 

1 .  $539,000  to  remodel  the  present  third  floor  nursing 
facility; 

2.  $610,000  to  relocate  the  nursing  facility  on  the  first 
floor;  and 

3.  $1,300,000  to  construct  a  new  50  bed  nursing  wing. 
From  our  experience  in  the  construction  industry,  we 

assume  these  figures  to  represent  minimum  costs. 

In  the  opinion  of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  these  costs 
are  prohibitive  in  view  of  the  fact  that  the  remaining 
life  of  the  Home  will  be  limited,  even  after  the  work  is 
done,  because  its  continued  operation  for  the  small 
number  of  members  who  will  reside  at  the  Home  in 
future  years  will  become  too  much  of  a  financial  burden. 

Here  are  some  of  the  facts  which  led  to  this  conclusion 
on  the  part  of  your  Board  of  Trustees: 

1.  The    present    Home    structures    and    much    of    the 


equipment  are  over  forty-two  years  old  and  maintenance 
costs  are  constantly  increasing. 

2.  At  the  present  time  it  is  costing  approximately 
$90,000  per  month  to  operate  the  Home.  With  the 
average  number  of  residents  at  200.  this  amounts  to  $450 
per  month,  or  $5,400  per  year,  per  resident  member.  By 
way  of  contrast,  our  Pension  members  receive  $360  per 
year  in  benefits. 

3.  The  original  and  present  purpose  of  the  Home  is  to 
provide  a  resident  retirement  location  for  retired  mem- 
bers who  are  essentially  able  to  take  care  of  their  own 
needs  without  regular  institutional  care.  More  and  more, 
however,  applicants  for  the  Home  have  already  passed 
the  point  where  they  can  care  for  their  own  needs  and 
must  be  rejected  because  the  Home  simply  does  not  have 
the  facilities  to  provide  them  with  constant  hospital 
or  nursing  home  care.  Many  who  are  admitted  require 
hospital  or  nursing  care  shortly  after  arrival.  At  present 
an  average  of  50  or  more  residents,  or  25%  of  the  total 
occupancy,  are  under  hospital  care  each  day,  not  count- 
ing those  who  receive  out  patient  treatment.  It  should  be 
noted  that  the  average  age  of  the  residents  at  the  Home 
has  now  reached  approximately  82  years  of  age. 

4.  The  Home  Fund  does  not  have  the  money  to 
finance  the  extensive  remodeling  or  new  construction 
which  would  be  required  to  comply  with  Florida  law. 
It  should  be  noted  that  Section  45  D  of  the  Constitution 
and  Laws  provide  the  Home  Fund  "for  operation  and 
maintenance  of  the  Home"  and  makes  no  provision  for 
capital  improvements  such  as  remodeling  or  new  con- 
struction. Monthly  operating  costs  are  averaging  $90,000. 
Monthly  per  capita  tax  allocated  to  the  Home  Fund 
under  the  Constitution  and  Laws  and  other  income 
attributable  to  the  Home  is  approximately  $70,000.  Thus, 
we  are  presently  operating  the  Home  approximately 
$20,000  per  month  below  the  break-even  point,  without 
taking  into  consideration  any  increase  in  operating  or 
maintenance  costs.  In  order  to  finance  the  necessary  re- 
modeling and  construction  at  the  Home  it  will  be  neces- 
sary for  the  membership  to  authorize  the  levying  of  a 
substantial  assessment  or  increase  in  per  capita  tax  pay- 
able by  beneficial  members. 

5.  In  addition  to  the  remodeling  or  new  construction 
costs,  continued  operation  of  the  Home  in  compliance 
with  the  requirements  of  Florida  law  will  involve  sub- 
stantial increased  operating  costs.  Under  the  new  require- 
ments a  dietician  and  pharmacist  must  be  added  to  the 
staff,  additional  nursing  and  medical  service  must  be 
provided,  and  extensive  and  expensive  record  keeping 
and  administrative  procedures  will  have  to  be  installed. 
It  is  estimated  that  these  administrative  and  personnel 
requirements  will  add  several  thousand  dollars  to  the 
monthly  operating;  costs.  Thus,  continued  operation  and 
maintenance  of  the  Home  will  take  part  of  the  Home 
Fund  capital,  as  the  Home  will  be  operating  at  a  deficit 
(based  on  current  revenues)  even  after  the  necessary 
remodeling  or  new  construction  is  fully  paid  for. 

6.  Increasing  difficulty  has  been  encountered  in  getting 
employees  in  the  area  to  work  at  the  Home.  Reports 
we  have  received  indicate  a  substantial  increase  in  the 
problems  of  administering  the  Home  as  a  result. 

To  summarize  the  problem  with  which  we  are  faced: 

1 .  Continued  operation  of  the  Carpenters'  Home,  in 
compliance  with   the   requirements  of  Florida  law,  will

CHAMPS 

SELECTED 

AT  LAS  VEGAS 


The  wheel  of  forfune  settles 

on  n  skilled  and  educated 

fourth-year  apprentices 


■  While  thousands  of  tourists 
looked  to  the  odds  of  Lady  Luck 
for  their  fortunes  in  Las  Vegas, 
Nev.,  last  August  24  and  25.  77 
fourth-year  apprentices  from  all 
over  the  United  States  and  Canada 
laid  it  on  the  line  for  assured  fu- 
tures through  study  and  hard  work. 

Each  was  a  state  or  provincial 
champion  who  had  come  to  Las 
Vegas  after  elimination  contests 
back  home.  They  knew  what  they 
were  up  against — a  four-page  writ- 
ten examination  and  an  eight-hour 
manipulative  test — and  they  were 
competing  against  some  of  the  most 
carefully  trained  young  men  in 
North  America.  States  like  Michi- 
gan, California,  and  New  York  al- 
ways fielded  skilled  millwrights. 
Some  of  the  best  young  carpenters 
on  the  continent  come  out  of  the 
Canadian  provinces.  Winning  cab- 
inetmakers had  come  from  all  parts 
of  the  country,  and  the  chances  of 
any  contestant  were  uncertain. 

There  were  21  millwrights,  15 
mill-cabinetmen,  and  41  carpenters 
.  .  .  adding  up  to  a  magic  number 
of  77. 

Las  Vegas  gamblers  would  have 
been  hardpressed,  however,  to  pick 
the  winners  by  any  kind  of  numbers 
game.  Five  even-numbered  and  six 
odd-numbered  contestants  were 
winners. 

Winning  carpenters  were:  Con-

ing his  native  state  of  Iowa),  first

14,  Stephen  D.  Banes,  Local  2158, 
Rock  Island,  111.  (representing  his 
state  of  Illinois),  third  place. 

And,  incidentally,  for  the  benefit 
of  the  superstitious  among  us,  there 
were  no  Contestants  No.  13.  That 
unlucky  number  was  skipped,  by 
decision  of  the  contest  committee. 

The  contest  was  held  at  the  Las 
Vegas  Hilton  Hotel,  largest  hotel  in 
the  city.  The  manipulative  tests  were 
performed  in  the  big  ballroom  and 
convention  center  of  the  hotel,  and 
the  written  tests  were  taken  in  a 
nearby  conference  room. 

The  lumber  and  most  of  the  aux- 
iliary tools  and  equipment  were  con- 
tributed by  manufacturers  and  as-

sociations  of  the  building  industry. 
The  contestants  worked  with  their 
own,  personal  hand  tools.  The  work 
days  started  early,  with  the  appren- 
tices assembling  for  preliminary 
briefings  at  7  a.m.  on  the  days  they 
performed  their  day-long  manipula- 
tive tests. 

This  was  the  sixth  annual  com- 
petition since  a  Western  States  con- 
test went  international  in  Van- 
couver, British  Columbia  in   1967. 

Past  contests  have  been  held  suc- 
cessively in  Kansas  City,  Mo.;  Chi- 
cago, 111.;  Denver,  Colo.;  Detroit, 
Mich.;  and  Las  Vegas.  The  1973 
competition  is  scheduled  for  Omaha, 


Neb.,  and  already  bids  are  in  for 
1974  from  Baltimore,  Md.,  and 
other  cities  for  this  exciting  gather- 
ing of  apprentice  champs. 

Contest  officials  noted  continued 


the  contestants,  as  the  year-round 
training  programs  continue  to  ex- 
pand and  improve.  The  competition 
was  close,  and  the  judges  were  high 
in  their  praise  of  all  the  contest- 


improvement  in  the  performance  of     ants. 


THE  CONTEST  IN  THE  NEWS — First  General  Vice  President  Herbert  Skin- 
ner, director  of  the  Brotherhood's  apprenticeship  and  training  program, 
was  interviewed  by  a  newscaster  from  the  Las  Vegas  ABC  Network 
affiliate,  KSHO-TV  (above).  Vice  President  Skinner  described  the  work 
of  the  contestants,  as  a  cameraman  filmed  the  fourth-year  apprentices  at 
work  on  their  projects.  He  reminded  Las  Vegas  TV  viewers  that  the  77 
state  and  provincial  champions  represented  approximately  45,000  ap- 
prentices and  pre-apprentices  involved  in  various  labor-management 
training  programs  in  the  industry  throughout  the  United  States  and 
Canada.  He  pointed  out  that  trainees  in  these  programs  are  fully  equipped 
to  handle  all  manner  of  work  in  the  craft  following  their  graduation. 


THE  WRITTEN  TEST 


■  The  four-hour  written  test 
given  to  participants  in  the  1972 
International  Carpenters  Appren- 
ticeship Contest  was  like  similar 
tests  given  in  the  past:  tough. 

Contestants  labored  over  their  an- 
swers in  complete  quiet  in  a  confer- 
ence room  of  the  Las  Vegas  Hilton, 
with  two  men  from  the  International 
staff  serving  as  monitors. 

There  were  true-false  and  multi- 
ple-choice questions,  and,  to  check 
overall  knowledge  of  the  craft,  there 
were  math  problems. 

The  written  test  counted  for  40  "yc 
of  the  contestant's  total  score  in  the 
competition.  It  could  make  the  dif- 
ference between  winning  or  losing, 
and  contestants  were  urged  to  take 
their  time  and  check  their  work. 

Carpenters  took  their  written  test 
on  the  first  day  of  the  competition. 
Millwrights  and  cabinetmakers  took 
theirs  the  following  day.  ■ 


Contestants  engrossed  in  the  problems  presented  by  the  written  test  in  the   1972 
apprentice  competition.   The  test  was  given  in  a  hotel  conference  room. 


James  E.  Tlnkcom,  technical  director  of  the  Brotherhood,  right,  and  Henr>   Boone,

A  unique  sound.  Because 
while  anybody  can  make  a 
power-return  tape,  only  Lufkin 
makes  one  with  a  blade  cushion 
to  reduce  end-hook  breakage. 
No  other  tape  has  it. 

Which  isn't  surprising, 
since  we've  been  in  the 


measuring  business  for  over  a 
century.  And  in  all  those  years 
we've  learned  that  people  are 
tough  on  tapes.  So  we're  always 
looking  for  (and  finding)  ways 
to  make  our  tapes  tougher. 
That's  why  we  coat  our 
easy-to-read  blades  with  long- 
lasting  epoxy.  Offer  you  lengths 
from  6  to  25  feet.  Widths  of  Va, 
V2  or  %  inches.  Yellow  or  white 
blades.  Beat-the-creep  locking 
button. 


We  do  just  as  much  for  our 
folding  wood  rules  and  long 
steel  tapes.  So  they'll  do  even 
more  for  you. 

TVy  the  Mezurlok  at  your 
hardware  store.  Then  try  the 
competition.  One  "thunk"  and 
you'll  know  why  nothing 
measures  up  to  Lufkin.

CARPENTRY  CONTESTANTS 


a  Apprentices  from  37  states  and 
4  provinces  of  Canada  competed  in 
Las  Vegas  for  the  title  of  Interna- 
tional Carpenter  Champ. 

For  the  second  year  in  a  row  a 
Canadian  took  top  honors.  He  was 
Cornelius  Froese  of  Winnipeg,  Man- 
itoba. 

Contestants,  this  year,  executed 
several  tasks  in  their  manipulative 
test  which  were  designed  to  check 
the  broadness  of  their  experience: 
They  produced  a  concrete  form  with 
snap  ties  and  a  wall  section  with 
aluminum  sash,  insulation,  siding, 
and  drywall. 

As  in  the  past  contests,  they  used 
their  own  hand  tools  and,  in  addi- 
tion, were  supplied  power  saws  and 
saw  horses  to  expedite  their  work.  ■ 


Cornelius    Froese, 
wielding  a   fast   ham- 
mer at  right,  was  first 
place    winner    in    the 
carpentry  competition. 
He    is    a    member    of 
Local     343.     Winnipeg,     Manitoba.      A 
slender,   modest  young  man,   he  learned 
his  craft  skills  in  his  native  province. 


THE   JUDGES 

Six  judges  graded  the  manipulative 
work  of  the  carpentry  contestants. 
There  were  three  judges  each  for  the 
millwright  and  mill-cabinet  competi- 
tions. Overseeing  their  work  were  two 
coordinating  judges  and  General  Rep- 
resentatives on  special  assignment  for 
the  contest.  The  contest's  success  was 
assured  by  the  work  of  these  men. 


Carpenter  judges  included:  First  row,  from  left.  Art  Reed,  Winnipeg  Builders  Ex- 
change; Ray  Anderson,  Dept.  of  Manpower  and  Labor,  Edmonton,  Alta.;  Bertrum 
Rude,  Nat'l  Assn.  of  Home  Builders;  and  Gene  Baichtal,  UBC.  Second  row:  E.  A. 
Brown,  UBC,  and  J.  William  Simpson,  Amer.  Inst,  of  Architects.  In  the  rear  are 
Gen.  Rep.  Ben  Collins  and  Coordinating  Judges  Paul  Rudd  and  Richard  Hutchinson.

The  intent,  careful 
work  of  Richard  L. 
Petersen,  shown  at 
left,   paid    off.    He 
won    the     second- 
place  awards  in  the 
competition.   A   member   of   Local   253, 
Omaha,  Neb.,  he  is  active  in  construc- 
tion work  in  the  Midwest.

pentry competition.  The  General  Build-

and  the  District  Council  of  Metropoli- 
tan Philadelphia  support  the  joint  ap- 
prenticeship training  program  in  nhich 
Florkowski    learned    his    trade. 


Could  it  be  that 
beards  give  a  con- 
testant that  added 
incentive  to  win? 
Leon  C.  Fay  of  Al- 
buquerque, N.M., 
shown  at  left,  took  fourth  place  in  the 
carpentry  competition,  and  he,  like  Flor- 
kowski,  above,  sported  a  full  chin  of 
vthiskers.  Fay  is  a  tall,  lean  member  of 
Local  1319  in  Albuquerque,  and  he's  the 
first  winner  for  New  Mexico  in  the 
annual  competition.

The  Southwest  placed  two  winners  in  the  1972  carpentry 
competition.  Patricia  J.  Golue,  above,  comes  from  Phoenix, 
Arizona.  He's  a  member  of  Local  1089  in  Phoenix,  and  be- 
came the  third  carpenter  from  his  state  to  place  in  the  annual 
contest.  Previous  Arizona  winners  were:  Ricardo  Saldate,  who 
took  second  place  in  1967  at  Vancouver,  and  Richard  Holli- 
man,  who  took  fifth  place  in  Chicago  in  1969.  Gokie  completed  his  contest  project 
in  good  time,  and  the  judges  found  his  overall  score  in  the  written  and  manipulative 
tests  good.

MILL  CABINET  CONTESTANTS 


■  A  free-standing  base  cabinet 
of  flush  construction  tested  the  ma- 
nipulative skills  of  the  15  mill-cabi- 
net contestants  in  the  1972  com- 
petition. 

The  cabinet  was  designed  for  a 
single  drawer,  doweled  and  glued, 
and  two  swinging  doors. 

Power  tools  began  to  hum,  as  the 
apprentices  moved  from  blueprint, 
to  lumber,  to  tools,  and  back  again. 
They  worked  steadily  for  eight  hours 
under  the  lights  of  the  Las  Vegas 
Hilton's  big  Convention  Center,  and 
the  competition  was  keen.  Precision 
woodwork  was  called  for,  and  the 
three  judges  were  kept  busy  with 
tape  measures  and  check  sheets  as 
they  moved  among  the  contest 
booths. 

The  three  winners  were  widely 
separated  geographically  —  coming 
from  Pennsylvania,  Illinois,  and 
California.  ■ 


Mario  Venneri, 
right,  a  dark-haired, 
intense  young  man 
from  Philadelphia, 
Pa.,  came  through 
with  top  honors  in 
the  mill-cahinet  competition.  He  is  a 
memher  of  Local  359  in  the  Citj  of

On  the  evening  before  the  contest,  the  contestants  and  their  wives    were    guests    of    the    International    Contest    Committee    at    a 
festive  reception  in  the  Las  Vegas  Hilton  Hotel.  They  are  entertained  here  by  a  sleight-of-hand  artist.

Wives  of  contestants,  officers'  and  board  members'  wives,  and  guests  assembled  during  the  welcoming  reception. 


"Behind  every  man  .  .  .  there's  a 
woman."  It's  an  old  expression,  and 
the  women  liberationists  sometimes 
take  exception  to  it  .  .  .  But  in  the 
case  of  the  International  Carpenters 
Apprentice  Contest  in  Las  Vegas, 
almost  all  of  the  contestants  had 
wives  with  them  to  spur  them  on  to 
greater  achievement. 

It's  always  an  inspiration  to  the 


old  timers  in  the  trade  union  move- 
ment to  see  apprentices  "buckling 
down  to  the  business  of  life"  with 
young  wives  or  sweethearts  giving 
meaning  and  purpose  to  their  work. 
The  young  women  were  wel- 
comed to  Las  Vegas  at  a  reception 
for  contestants  and  guests  on  the 
night  preceding  the  two-day  com- 
petition. There  they  were  urged  to 


get  their  men  to  the  appointed  places 
on  time  the  following  day  but  not 
to  speak  to  them  as  they  undertook 
their  manipulative;  tests  .  .  .  They 
could  watch  .  .  .  but  no  coaching! 
Bus  tours  for  sightseeing  were 
provided  for  them,  and  they  attend- 
ed the  awards  dinner  on  Saturday 
night,  when  some  of  them  were  able 
to  beam  with  wifely  pride  in  victory. 


MILLWRIGHT  CONTESTANTS 


■  The  number  of  millwright  ap- 
prentices competing  at  Las  Vegas 
for  international  honors  was  greater 
than  ever  before. 

Twenty-one  contestants  assembled 
for  their  manipulative  test  on  Thurs- 
day morning,  August  24.  The  states 
of  Indiana  and  Washington  returned 
with  contestants  this  year,  after  a 
year's  absence.  Missouri  and  Iowa 
joined  a  list  of  17  states  which  al- 
ways send  candidates.  Iowa,  in  fact, 
came  in  with  the  first  place  winner! 

James  G.  Bone  of  Davenport, 
la.,  a  member  of  Local  2158,  Rock 
Island,  111.,  took  the  top  honors.  He 
was  part  of  a  double  victory  for 
Local  2158.  The  third  place  winner 
— representing  his  home  state  of  Illi- 
nois— was  Stephen  D.  Banes  of  Ster- 
ling, 111.,  and  also  a  member  of  Lo- 
cal 2158. 

The  1972  manipulative  project 
was  a  collection  of  gears,  belts, 
shafts,  bearings,  and  a  sprocket  and 
chain,  all  to  be  assembled  and 
aligned.  ■

rN  SINCERE  APPRECIATION 


The  annual  International  Carpenters 
Apprenticeship  Contest  depends  for  its 
success  on  the  hard  work  of  many  in- 
dividuals and  the  contributions  made 
by  many  firms  and  organizations.  The 
tools  and  materials  used  by  the  con- 
testants are  donated  by  several  inter- 
national and  local  companies.  Some 
of  the  awards  are  sponsored  by  firms 
and  associations  well  known  in  the 
industry. 

The  International  Contest  Commit- 
tee extends  to  such  supporters— pri- 
marily those  listed  in  the  poster  at 
right— its  sincere  thanks  and  urges 
Brotherhood  members  to  patronize 
these  organizations  and  manufacturers 
whenever  possible.

New  quiet,  new  luxury  inside.  Comfortable 
new  surroundings.  A  brand-new  look. 
New  flow-through  ventilation  provides 
a  steady  flow  of  outside  air. 


New  available  camper  options  include  Elimi- 
pitch  camper  steadying  package  and  rear 
stabilizer  bars.  We  think  they'll  help  make  a 
Chevy  camper  rig  behave  like  you  want  it  to. 


New  Load-Control  rear  suspension  system 
features  leaf  springs  and  repositioned  shock 
absorbers,  one  angled  forward,  one  aft.  Ride 
improvement  is  substantial. 


When  we  conceived  the  all  new  Chevy 
pickup,  we  concentrated  on  improving  things 
we  thought  you'd  consider  most  important. 

We  used  a  computer  to  design  a  new  sus- 
pension system.  Moved  our  massive  Girder 
Beam  front  suspension  forward  to  lengthen 
the  wheelbase.  Added  Load-Control  rear  leaf 
springs.  And  we  staggered  the  rear  shocks. 


Result:  a  noticeably  smoother,  stable  ride 
plus  a  dramatic  improvement  in  handling. 

Inside,  we  created  your  own  private 
quiet  zone.  With  extensive  sound  insulation 
throughout  the  cab.  And  more  head,  hip,  leg 
and  shoulder  room. 

'73  Chevy  pickups:  our  most  comfort- 
able, best  riding  and  handling  ever.

CONTEST 
PLANNING 
AND 
POSTMORTEM 


■  In  a  three-hour  session  on  the 
day  before  the  opening  of  the  1972 
International  Carpenters  Appren- 
ticeship Contest  and  in  another 
three-hour  open  meeting  of  the  Na- 
tional Carpenters  Joint  Apprentice- 
ship and  Training  Committee  on  the 
day  after  the  contest,  there  was  lively 
discussion  on  the  "blueprint  and 
specifications"  of  the  contest  itself. 

Were  there  enough  judges  to  judge 
the  large  and  growing  contest? 

Was  the  lumber  used  by  the  con- 
testants of  the  best  grade  available? 

What  tools  should  a  contestant 
use?  What  clothes  should  he  wear? 

The  directors  of  the  contest  met 
with  coordinators  and  committee- 
men in  a  seminar  on  Wednesday, 
August  23.  This  gathering  dealt 
mostly  with  the  year-round  training 
program  and  with  ways  to  encour- 
age participation  in  state  and  pro- 
vincial contests. 

On  Saturday  morning,  August  26, 
after  two  days  of  intensive  competi- 
tion in  the  Convention  Center,  next 
door,  the  National  Joint  Apprentice- 
ship and  Training  Committee  held 
an  open  session,  which  served  as  a 
postmortem  on  the  contest  itself.  ■ 


In  a  lively  Saturday  morning  session  following  the  contest,  the  National  Carpenters 
Joint  Apprenticeship  and  Training  Committee,  on  the  podium,  participates  in  a  dis- 
cussion of  what  was  good  and  what  was  not-so-good  about  the  competition.

THE    CARPENTER 


■  An  audience  of  nearly  1,000 
assembled  in  the  big  ballroom  and 
convention  center  of  the  Las  Vegas 
Hilton  for  the  Apprenticeship  Con- 
test Awards  Banquet. 

There  was  an  air  of  anticipation 
as  the  77  state  and  provincial  final- 
ists awaited  the  announcement  of 
the  contest  winners.  A  total  of 
$9,500  in  prize  money  was  to  be 
given  away,  plus  many  auxiliary 
prizes  and  trophies. 

Banquet  speakers  praised  the 
work  of  the  contestants.  First  Gen- 
eral Vice  President  Herbert  Skinner, 
who  served  as  master  of  ceremonies, 
described  the  contest  as  "labor- 
management  cooperation  in  its  finest 
meaning." 

Morris  Skinner,  regional  director 
of  the  US  Bureau  of  Apprenticeship 
and  Training  (but  no  relation  to 
the  master  of  ceremonies),  told  the 
contestants,  "You  should  have  no 
fears  for  the  future.  You're  well 
trained,  you're  well  qualified,  and 
you  are  skilled  craftsmen." 

Greetings  from  the  governor  of 
Nevada  were  delivered  by  Stan 
Jones,  state  labor  commissioner.  He 
praised  organized  labor  for  keeping 
the  state  strong  and  progressive. 

The  major  addresses  of  the  eve- 
ning were  delivered  by  James  D. 
McClary,  president  of  the  Associ- 
ated General  Contractors;  Stanley 
Waranch,  president  of  the  National 
Assn.  of  Home  Builders;  and  Gen- 
eral President  William  Sidell.  The

'Let's  Just  Face  the  Fact 
That  We  Have  a  Whale  of  a  Problem' 

An  Address  by  James  D.  McClary,  President, 
Associated  General  Contractors  of  America,  Inc. 


■  To  all  of  you,  my  congratulations 
and  the  thanks  of  the  industry  you  are 
about  to  enter. 

I  wish  that  on  this  important  night 
in  your  life  I  could  assure  you  that, 
having  come  this  far,  you  are  entering 
a  well-ordered  society;  that  all  is  well 
in  the  world  of  construction;  and  that 
all  you  need  do  to  achieve  success  in 
your  chosen  vocation  is  to  be  honest, 
work  hard,  pay  your  taxes,  and  vote 
a  straight  ticket.  Unfortunately — for 
all  of  us — that  just  is  not  the  situation. 

The  world  of  construction — indeed, 
the  whole  world — is  in  a  period  of  ad- 
justment, a  period  of  change,  a  period 
when  old  values  are  being  challenged 
— in  fact,  a  period  of  confusion  and 
downright  frustration.  Inflation  is  not 
controlled.  Each  of  us  is  rightfully  con- 
cerned about  his  own  economic  situa- 
tion, and  although  all  of  us  in  construc- 
tion are  drawing  the  highest  wages 
and  salaries  in  history,  it  some  times 
does  not  seem  to  be  enough.  Unem- 
ployment is  higher  that  it  reasonably 
should  be.  The  news  media  are  full 
of  stories  about  a  war  that  goes  on 
and  on,  a  dollar  that  may  be  facing 
further  devaluation,  wage  and   price 


controls,  an  overrun  in  federal  ex- 
penditures, a  negative  balance  of 
payments,  a  rising  crime  rate,  an  un- 
controlled drug  problem — in  short,  a 
seemingly  endless  parade  of  problems 
that  appear  to  defy  solution.  It's  the 
"silly  season"  for  the  politicians  and, 
just  to  cap  it  all,  your  favorite  ball 
club  is  probably  fourth  in  its  division! 

There  is  nothing  to  be  gained  by 
reciting  a  long  history  on  how  we 
Americans  came  to  be  in  the  unen- 
viable position  in  which  we  presently 
find  ourselves.  Let's  just  face  the  fact 
that  we  have  a  whale  of  a  problem. 
Let's  admit — at  least  to  each  other — 
that  in  some  form  or  other  we  have 
each  made  our  own  contribution. 

Now,  let's  discuss  for  a  few  minutes 
some  basic  things  that  we  must  do  if 
we  are  to  bring  back  that  great  Amer- 
ican dream  of  song  and  story.  Let  me 
share  with  you  some  of  my  thoughts. 

Most  of  us,  I  believe,  go  about  our 
affairs  in  a  forthright  manner.  We 
don't  deliberately  set  out  to  do  the 
other  guy  in  or  to  disrupt  his  little 
piece  of  the  economy.  We  pretty 
much  follow  a  "live  and  let  live"  phi-

this  report.  (President  Sidell's  are 
excerpted  in  "In  Conclusion,"  be- 
ginning on  Page  48.) 

In  his  opening  remarks,  Lee  Rice 
noted  the  absence  from  the  1972 
contest  activities  of  Ed  Wasielew- 
ski,  co-chairman  of  the  National 
Joint  Apprenticeship  and  Training 
Committee.  Illness  prevented  Mr. 
Wasielewski  from  attending  the 
awards  ceremonies  this  year. 

At  the  conclusion  of  the  addresses 
the  awards  were  presented.  In  addi- 
tion to  the  regular  craft  awards,  the 
John  R.  Stevenson  Trophies,  the 
Olav  Boen  Trophy,  and  the  Finlay 
C.  Allan  Trophy  were  presented. 

Awards  were  presented  by  Con- 
test Director  Leo  Gable  and  Contest 
Coordinators  Paul  Rudd  and  Rich- 
ard G.  Hutchinson.  ■

Home  Construction  Called 
'The  Economic  Rose  in  The  Rock  Garden' 

An  Address  by  Stanley  Waranch,  President, 
National  Association  of  Home  Builders 


■  We  in  the  National  Association  of 
Home  Builders — and  I  know  that  I 
speak  for  Jim  McCleary  when  I  in- 
clude the  Associated  General  Con- 
tractors in  this — truly  form  a  partner- 
ship with  labor,  because  without  labor 
there  can  be  no  management,  and 
certainly  in  the  democratic  process 
that  we  know  today,  unless  there  is 
management,  there  can  be  no  labor. 

After  many  years  of  agonizing,  the 
Congress  enacted,  during  a  Demo- 
cratic administration,  the  Housing 
Act  of  1968.  When  Secretary  Romney 
in  1969  appeared  before  the  Con- 
gress for  his  confirmation  as  Secretary 
of  the  Department  of  Housing  and 
Urban  Development,  he  was  asked  if 
he  subscribed  to  the  goals  established 
by  the  Congress  in  that  Act?  George 
Romney  said  that  he  did.  He  rec- 
ognized the  need  to  house  all  Amer- 
ica. And  certainly  we  in  the  National 
Association  of  Home  Builders  rec- 
ognize that  one  paramount  need.  We 
recognize  the  need  to  be  devoted  to 
God.  We  recognize  the  need  to  be 
devoted  to  family.  And  we  recognize 
the  need  that  it  all  starts  in  the  home. 

And  because  the  home,  to  me  and 


to  you,  should  be  the  central  place 
for  establishing  the  values  and  the 
goals  talked  about  by  Mr.  McCleary, 
I  say  to  you  that  you  and  I  have  a 
great  challenge  in  building  America. 
They  talked  about  the  home  building 
industry  as  being  outmoded,  archaic 
and  antiquated  when  we  were  build- 
ing about  a  million  units  a  year,  and 
they  established  the  26  million  goal. 
And  I  stand  here  before  you  proudly 
to  say  that  we,  in  industry,  produced 
last  year  2.1  million,  and  this  year  we 
will  produce  better  than  2.2  million. 

So  when  you,  who  have  been  ap- 
prentices and  have  now  become  jour- 
neymen carpenters,  go  out  into  the 
world  I  can  assure  you  that  we  have 
a  place  for  you  to  work,  in  both  man- 
agement and  labor  as  a  part  of  build- 
ing America. 

There  is  more  to  the  story  than  just 
building  America.  It  is  the  need  to 
provide  day-in  and  day-out  work.  We 
can't  build  housing  and  have  financing 
cut  off  TODAY  because  of  tight 
money  and  then  made  plentiful  TO- 
MORROW because  we  want  to  stim- 
ulate the  economy.

losophy.  Somehow,  that  hasn't  been 
enough.  It  could  appear  that  some 
force  or  agency  is  working  against  our 
way  of  life.  Even  though  that  may  be 
true,  there  are  some  things  we  do  or 
don't  do,  as  individuals,  that  have 
contributed  to  the  mess  we  have 
created. 

The  strength  and  prosperity  of 
America  can  be  attributed  to  two 
basic  facts.  There  probably  are  others, 
but  without  these  two,  no  people 
could  have  accomplished  what  we 
have  in  our  relatively  short  history. 
We  Americans  were  fortunate  to  have 
evolved  in  a  land  that  is  blessed  with 
almost  limitless  resources,  a  land  with 
abundant  water,  forests,  fertile  soil, 
minerals  and  ideal  climate.  Our  an- 
cestors were  hard-working,  forward- 
looking,  creative,  inventive  and  intel- 
ligent. They  came  to  this  land  to 
escape  from  a  number  of  autocratic 
and  tyrannical  governments.  This 
background  led  to  the  fashioning  of 
a  form  of  government  under  which, 
with  an  absolute  minimum  of  inter- 
ference, this  knowledgeable  and  pro- 
ductive people  could  use  the  bounty 
of  the  country  to  build  for  themselves 
the  kind  of  life  mankind  was  created 
to  develop  and  enjoy.  These  two  fac- 
tors— a  rich  undeveloped  land  and  a 
hard-working,  unselfish  people  came 
together — thru  chance — or  design,  if 
you  prefer — at  the  right  time  in  the 
history  of  the  world. 

Living  under  their  own  government, 
these  people  utilized  those  resources 
to  create  an  economy  that  has  never 
been  equalled  any  where  at  any  time. 

What  has  gone  haywire?  Why 
doesn't  the  greatest  of  economies 
continue  to  grow?  What  has  slowed 
the  improvement  in  the  standard  of 
living?  Why  devaluation  of  our 
money?  Why  unemployment?  Why 
poverty  in  the  midst  of  apparent 
plenty?  Why  this  tremendous  welfare 
load  on  our  economy?  Why  a  hun- 
dred other  equally  perplexing  ques- 
tions? 

The  abundant  land  is  still  here — 
virtually  untouched.  The  people  are 
still  here. 

To  my  notion,  there  are  a  few  sim- 
ple —  but  basic  —  reasons  for  the

construction  is  not  available  through  the  Home  Fund, 
which  is  established  in  Section  45  D  of  the  Constitution 
"for  operation  and  maintenance  of  the  Home." 

3.  Unless  we  are  able  to  obtain  the  necessary  funds  by 
means  of  an  assessment  upon  the  Local  Unions  or  mem- 
bers we  will  not  have  funds  to  finance  the  necessary 
remodeling  or  new  construction. 

4.  If  we  cannot  assure  the  Florida  Department  of 
Health  that  we  are  in  a  position  to  do  the  necessary  work 
before  December  31,  1972,  our  Provisional  License  will 
expire  as  of  that  date  and  we  will  have  to  discontinue 
operation  of  the  Home. 

All  of  these  facts  were  presented  to  meetings  of  the 
General  Executive  Board  and  Board  of  Trustees  held  in 
August,  1972.  The  Board  Members  discussed  the  matter 
fully  keeping  in  mind  the  welfare  and  interests  of  our 
working  members  and  members  on  the  pension  as  well 
as  that  of  occupants  of  the  Home. 

After  a  full  review  the  Board  Members  voted  unani- 
mously to  submit  to  referendum  of  the  membership  a 
Proposition  authorizing  discontinuance  of  the  operation 
of  the  Home  and  the  sale  or  encumbrance  of  the  Home 
and  real  estate  on  which  it  is  located. 


SAMPLE   BALLOT 

The  Members  of  the  General  Executive  Board  and 
Board  of  Trustees  were  unanimous  in  their  conclusion 
that  the  extensive  remodeling  or  new  construction  and 
other  expenses  necessary  to  permit  continued  operation 
of  the  Home  is  not  practical  or  feasible.  The  Board  was 
especially  concerned  over  the  necessity — if  we  continue 
to  operate  the  Home — of  a  substantial  assessment  on  or 
a  substantial  increase  in  per  capita  tax  payable  for 
beneficial  members. 

It  is  clear  that  if  we  continue  to  operate  the  Home 
a  substantial  increase  in  revenue  will  be  required. 

The  Board  Members  also  voted,  therefore,  to  recom- 
mend to  the  membership  that  they  vote  "Yes"  on  the 
following  proposition.

THE    CARPENTER 


LET'S  FACE  THE  FACT 

Continued  from  page  38 
change.  We  Americans  have  for- 
gotten how  to  work.  Too  many  of  us 
want  the  "good  life"  without  being 
willing  to  put  forth  the  effort  to  attain 
it.  If  we  can't  get  it  the  easy  way,  we 
are  demanding  that  it  be  given  to  us 
as  a  right.  If  someone  else  has  it — 
we  are  being  told  we  should  have  it, 
too — without  the  necessity  of  putting 
forth  some  of  our  own  blood,  sweat 
and  tears.  Our  country  was  founded 
on  the  belief  that  each  of  us  was 
created  equal  and  that  we  had  the 
right  to  life,  liberty  and  the  pursuit 
of  happiness.  "Pursuit"  means  you 
have  the  opportunity  to  chase  it — not 
sit  on  your  duff  and  have  someone 
else  bring  it  to  you.  The  true  under- 
privileged of  today  are  the  workers, 
the  doers,  those  who  struggle  to  make 
ends  meet  while  carrying  the  burden 
of  taxation  levied  to  provide  for  those 
who  won't  work.  How  many  genera- 
tions of  parasites  do  we  have  to  sup- 
port before  we  decide  they  ought 
to  pitch  in  to  help  themselves? 


We  have  forgotten  how  to  pro- 
duce. To  produce,  you  have  to  do 
something  worthwhile  during  the  time 
you  are  employed.  You  have  to  put 
out  something  of  more  value  than 
what  you  are  being  paid  to  make  it. 
There  are  many  people  in  this  coun- 
try whose  only  productive  act  is  ex- 
pending the  effort  to  collect  their  pay 
envelope! 

We  haven't  taken  advantage  of  our 
improved  technology  to  increase  our 
production.  We  have,  in  fact,  used 
it  to  allow  us  to  work  less  diligently 
for  more  money.  Now  our  laziness  is 
catching  up  with  us. 

We  have  lost  our  pride — pride  in 
achievement,  pride  in  craft,  pride  of 
country  and  pride  in  ourselves.  Many 
young  people  of  today  are  more  in- 
terested in  retirement  benefits  than 
they  are  in  what  they  might  accom- 
plish in  a  given  employment  oppor- 
tunity. Are  we  so  lacking  in  personal 
ambition  and  self-confidence  that  we 
want  everything  cut  and  dried  so  that 
there  is  no  responsibility  of  ever  hav- 
ing to  endure  some  hardship  or  heart- 
ache? That  isn't  living!  I  can't  be-

THE  ECONOMIC  ROSE 

Continued  from  page  37 

In  1971  and  in  1972  the  only  eco- 
nomic rose  in  the  rock  garden  was 
the  home  construction  industry.  If  it 
hadn't  been,  things  would  be  very  seri- 
ous in  this  country  today  in  terms  of 
depression  and  in  terms  of  what  would 
have  happened  with  the  unemploy- 
ment rate.  So  we  in  housing  have  said 
to  the  Congress  and  to  the  President, 
don't  turn  off  the  supply  as  you  cut 
off  the  lights.  Keep  money  there,  so 
that  those  who  need  housing  will  get 
housing,  whether  they  rent  or  whether 
they  buy.  Because  the  one  principle 
that  we  do  recognize,  in  addition  to 
the  equality  of  man,  and  in  addition 
to  knowing  the  words  of  "The  Star 
Spangled  Banner"  .  .  .  think  of  how  it 
ends.  Because  with  your  help  and  with 
mine,  and  with  the  help  of  God,  cer- 
tainly we  will  achieve  the  aim  of  pro- 
viding housing  for  all  America.  Be- 
cause in  the  words  of  "The  Star  Span- 
gled Banner"  it  says:  "America,  the 
land  of  the  free,  and  the  home  of  the 
brave."  Thank  you  very  much.  ■ 


For  Sparetime  or  Full  Time  Income,  There's  Good 

Money  In  Sharpening 


Here's  a  proven  practical  way  to  earn  extra  dollars  in  spare 
time  —  to  develop  a  money-making  repair  business  of  your 
own.  Investment  is  small.  There's  no  overhead,  no  stock  of 
goods  to  carry.  No  experience  needed,  no  canvassing.  You  do 
it  with  the  famous  Foley  Saw  Filer  that  automatically  sharp- 
ens all  kinds  of  saws  —  and  the  Modern  Lawn  Mower  Sharp- 
ener that  precision  sharpens  all  types  of  mowers. 

EARN  $3  to  $6  An  Hour  Sparetime 

Hundreds  of  people  like  yourself  are 
making  cash  like  this  —  $20  to  $30  a  week 
—  right  now  in  spare  time.  "My  spare 
time  saw  filing  business  has  made  me 
$952  these  first  ten  months"  —  says  R.  T. 
Chapman.  Many  have  built  a  complete 
sharpening  service  with  such  year-around 
profits.  You  can  too,  simply  by  follow- 
ing the  sure,  easy  Foley  Plan.

sent  for  these  free  blue  prints  are  today 
enjoying  big  success  as  foremen,  superin- 
tendents and  building  contractors.  They've

THE    CARPENTER 


A  TRUSTED 
FRIEND  OF

FOR  MORE 
THAN  A 
CENTURY! 


LET'S  FACE  THE  FACT 

Continued  from  page  41 
lieve  that  any  American  would  know- 
ingly give  up  his  right  to  life,  liberty 
and  the  pursuit  of  happiness  for  the 
slavery  that  "complete  security"  de- 
mands. 

We  are  undergoing  a  rapidly  in- 
creasing moral  degeneration.  I  don't 
mean  this  only  in  the  generally-ac- 
cepted context  of  being  moral  or  im- 
moral. The  Americans  who  built  this 
country  had  no  problem  telling  right 
from  wrong.  They  had  some  fairly 
simply  codes  of  social  behavior.  If 
someone  did  wrong,  he  knew  it — and 
if  caught,  he  was  quite  quickly  and 
very  adequately  shown  the  error  of 
his  ways.  Some  didn't  survive  the  tell- 
ing! 

Now  it  has  become  not  "Do  I  do 
it  or  don't  I  do  it."  It's  "How  do  I 
do  it  without  getting  caught  and  if  I 
do  get  caught,  how  do  I  beat  the 
rap?"  Instead  of  pointing  out  the 
error  of  our  ways  and  applying  a  suit- 
able punishment,  someone  begins  a 
long-drawn  out  investigation  of  our 
childhood  to  see  if  we  hated  our 
mother  or  had  a  less-than-gentle  first 
grade  teacher!  The  tragedy  of  this 
is  that  you  and  I  have  come  to  accept 
it. 

Only  a  "square"  knows  much  about 
our  history,  or  knows  the  words  to 
"The  Star  Spangled  Banner",  or  gets 
a  thrill  from  saluting  the  Flag  as  it 
goes  by. 

We  have  forgotten  that  this  coun- 
try was  founded  on  a  belief  in  Sod — 
and  a  trust  in  Him.  I  don't  care  what 
Supreme  Being  you  believe  exists. 
One  does — by  whatever  name  you 
call  Him.  Without  some  kind  of  faith, 
life  becomes  meaningless  and  with- 
out direction. 

That  may  seem  to  be  an  over- 
simplification of  the  problems  we 
have.  But  as  sure  as  we  are  here  to- 
night, unless  we  go  back  to  those 
basic  fundamentals  I  have  mentioned, 
things  are  not  going  to  get  better. 

It  is  not  enough  that  we  resolve  to 
change  our  ways,  or  continue  living  as 
we  are  if  we  are  already  following 
those  precepts.  As  Americans,  we 
must  practice  them  in  our  daily  lives 
and  we  have  to  work  to  see  that  others 
do  also.  We  have  to  reinstill  them  in

LET'S  FACE  THE  FACT 

Continued  from  page  43 

our  governments  at  all  levels.  We  have 
to  elect  officials  who  believe  in  them. 

Lip  service  alone  won't  get  it  done. 
We  have  to  rediscover  the  work  ethic; 
we  have  to  produce;  we  have  to  use 
our  technology  to  lower  the  cost  of 
increased  production;  we  have  to  re- 
store pride  in  what  we  do;  and  we 
have  to  shore  up  our  badly-sagging 
morals.  We  do,  that  is,  if  we  want 
America  and  all  that  it  means,  to  re- 
gain its  proper  place  in  the  sun. 

If  at  some  time  in  your  life,  things, 
in  general,  seem  a  bit  off-key  and  the 
sweet  life  that  you  thought  was  your 
heritage  turns  a  bit  sour  and  you  ask 
yourself,  'What  went  wrong?", 
please  remember  tonight.  I  have 
given  you  one  man's  opinion  of  what 
is  wrong,  with  a  fairly  simple,  but  very 
difficult  suggestion  of  what  to  do 
about  it.  Any  scheme  or  plan  that 
may  be  proposed  as  a  solution  to  our 
problems  has  not  the  slightest  chance 
of  success  if  it  is  not  built  on  the  solid 
foundation  of  these  basic  values.     ■

IN  CONCLUSION 


The  Challenge 


■  Since  most  of  our  members  earn  their  living 
either  working  directly  in  the  construction  indus- 
try or  producing  materials  or  products  which  are 
used  in  construction,  our  economic  future  is  going 
to  depend  in  large  part  on  the  future  performance 
of  the  construction  industry.  If  the  industry  does 
well,  we  will  do  well — or  at  least  we  will  have  the 
opportunity  to  do  well.  What  we  do  with  our  op- 
portunities will  depend  on  us;  and  I'll  have  some- 
thing to  say  about  that  along  the  way.  But  first 
let's  take  a  broad  look  at  the  prospects  of  the 
industry. 

The  economists  have  many  fancy  ways  of  guess- 
ing what  the  economic  future  will  bring  to  the  con- 
struction industry.  They  put  into  their  forecasts  all 
kinds  of  mysterious  economic  indicators  and  statis- 
tics, all  aimed  at  getting  answers  to  three  simple 
questions.  First,  what  demand  will  there  be  for 
the  products  the  industry  can  produce?  Second, 
will  productive  manpower  and  materials  be  put 
together  to  meet  that  demand?  Third,  will  the 
money  be  made  available,  either  by  private  or  pub- 
lic means,  to  permit  the  industry  to  satisfy  these 
human  needs  for  places  to  live  and  work? 

Of  course  there  are  no  simple  or  final  answers 
to  the  last  two  questions  which  depend  on  many 
political  and  economic  decisions  which  have  not 
yet  been  made.  But  you  don't  need  a  degree  in 
economics  to  come  up  with  a  pretty  good  an- 
swer to  the  first  one.  Just  take  a  stroll  around  the 
streets  of  any  city  you  can  think  of.  You'll  soon 
see  enough  to  convince  you  that  the  construction 
industry  will  be  the  busiest  industry  in  the  country 
— if  even  a  small  part  of  what  needs  to  be  done  is 
done. 

And  basically  what  needs  to  be  done  is  to  re- 
build the  nation's  cities.  For  the  past  two  decades 
our  cities  have  been  falling  apart,  while  much  of 
our  productive  resources  have  been  expended  in 
other  directions.  During  the  Sixties,  capital  ex- 
penditures which  could  have  gone  to  construction 
were  in  one  way  or  another  diverted  to  the  Viet- 
nam War.  And  the  War  brought  on  severe  in- 
flationary pressures  which  led  to  tight  money  and 
deep  cuts  in  Federal  non-military  spending — both 
of  which  had  a  heavy  impact  on  construction, 
which  generally  needs  either  public  spending  or 


private  lending.  Then,  too,  economic  forces  within 
the  construction  industry  itself  worked  against  the 
use  of  resources  that  were  available  to  the  industry 
for  the  increasing  needs  of  urban  reconstruction. 
The  long  stretch  of  business  prosperity  led  to  a 
strong  growth  of  industrial  and  commercial  con- 
struction, at  the  same  time  that  a  scarcity  of  credit 
was  curtailing  the  output  of  housing  and  related 
construction.  In  other  words,  we  were  building  a 
lot  of  factories,  stores  and  office  buildings,  but  not 
nearly  enough  houses,  sewers  and  subways.  We 
can  expect  that  this  basic  backlog  of  unmet  needs 
will  produce  a  greater  emphasis  on  housing  and 
related  urban  development  in  the  next  decade.  And 
I  think  we  can  expect  that  future  private,  and  in 
particular,  public  decisions  will  give  the  industry 
the  incentive  and  the  financial  backing  to  begin 
meeting  those  needs. 

For,  while  during  the  Sixties  relatively  little  was 
accomplished  in  meeting  the  needs  of  urban  re- 
construction, a  lot  of  programs  were  started.  These 
beginnings  indicate  a  growing  political  commit- 
ment to  rebuilding  our  cities.  Legislation  and  pro- 
grams for  housing,  mass  transportation,  and  en- 
vironmental pollution  are  already  on  the  books. 
What  has  been  lacking  is  the  money  to  make  these 
programs  work.  But  when  the  increasing  public 
recognition  of  the  urgency  of  these  problems  is 
combined  with  the  undoubted  power  of  the  federal 
government  to  allocate  the  resources  needed  for 
reconstruction,  it's  not  hard  to  predict  a  lot  of  new 
business  for  the  construction  industry.  Only  war 
and  inflation  have  postponed  drastic  action  on  what 
is  generally  recognized  as  a  national  priority. 

There  are  many  reasons  for  the  decay  of  our 
cities — some  economic,  some  political,  some  social. 
But  the  basic  background  has  been  provided  by  the 
growth  and  behavior  of  the  population  of  this 
country.  In  1900  there  were  only  75  million 
Americans  and  less  than  half  of  them  lived  in  urban 
areas.  Today  there  are  more  than  200  million 
Americans  and  over  70%  of  us  live  in  urban  areas. 
By  1 980  over  80%  of  our  people  will  be  concen- 
trated in  cities  and  suburbs.  Then  in  the  Fifties 
this  continuing  movement  from  country  to  cities 
was  complicated  by  a  vast  movement  of  population 
to  the  suburbs.  As  the  central  cities  have  become 


48 


THE    CARPENTER 


f  Rebuilding  America 


increasingly  over-burdened  by  a  growing  popula- 
tion, the  quality  of  city  life  has  declined  and  a 
great  variety  of  social  ills  has  multiplied.  Most  of 
those  who  could  afford  to  do  so  have  fled  to  the 
suburbs,  leaving  the  central  cities  with  a  lowered 
tax  base  and  a  declining  ability  to  provide  the  serv- 
ices and  amenities  so  desperately  needed. 

The  vast  movement  of  people  into  and  within 
urban  areas,  which  we  generally  describe  as  the 
process  of  urbanization,  has  greatly  compounded 
the  normal  problems  of  providing  decent  housing 
and  public  services  to  a  growing  population.  Along 
with  the  desires  of  a  population  of  rising  expecta- 
tions, urbanization  has  brought  a  growing  demand 
for  all  of  the  necessities  and  amenities  of  an  urban 
population — schools  and  libraries,  hospitals,  sew- 
ers, recreation  centers,  clean  air  and  water,  utili- 
ties, and  mass  transit,  just  to  name  a  few. 

It  is  quite  obvious  that  we  as  a  nation  haven't 
done  too  good  a  job  of  meeting  those  needs.  And 
this  is  true  not  just  in  the  more  spectacular  slums 
and  blighted  areas  of  our  central  cities.  Those  of 
us  who  live  in  suburbia  can  testify  that  we  have 
our  share  of  housing  shortages,  slums,  congestion, 
power  shortages,  air  pollution,  crime  and  other 
urban  ills. 

We  need  only  look  around  us  to  realize  what  a 
huge  backlog  of  demand  there  is  for  the  housing 
and  public  services  which  only  the  construction 
industry  can  produce.  There  is  no  doubt  that  the 
industry  faces  a  difficult  task — to  develop  the  ca- 
pacity to  expand  its  output  to  meet  that  demand. 
And  as  a  part  of  the  industry,  we  too  will  have  to 
develop  our  capacity  to  provide  the  men  and  the 
skills  needed  by  the  industry.  Our  reward  will  be  a 
prosperous  Brotherhood  with  a  prosperous  mem- 
bership. 

Labor  unions  are  economic  organizations;  so 
I've  naturally  tried  to  emphasize  the  effects  that 
meeting  the  urban  problem  might  have  on  the  job 
opportunities  of  our  members  and  on  the  Brother- 
hood itself.  After  all  this  is  our  first  order  of 
business.  But  from  the  viewpoint  of  our  society, 
some  urban  problems  are  extremely  critical  and 
on  a  scale  beyond  solving  in  conventional  ways. 
This  means  that  work  is  going  to  be  done  in  non- 
traditional  ways.  Sometimes  we  won't  like  it;  and 

OCTOBER,    1972 


where  our  vital  interests  are  involved,  we'll  have 
to  hang  tough.  But  if  we  want  to  be  part  of  the 
action,  we're  going  to  have  to  adapt — both  as  in- 
dividuals and  as  organizations.  It's  going  to  pay  us 
to  be  responsive  to  social  needs. 

But  beyond  economics,  labor  unions  are  com- 
posed of  human  beings.  At  least  we  think  so.  Most 
of  us  have  to  live  in  cities;  and  we  want  to  do  our 
part  in  making  them  better  places  to  live  in.  In 
rebuilding  our  cities  and  meeting  all  the  problems 
of  urbanization,  there'll  be  plenty  of  people  to 
make  speeches  and  lead  demonstrations;  but  the 
work  will  be  left  to  people  like  our  members,  who 
have  the  skill  and  the  knowledge  to  get  the  job 
done.  ■

THE   COVER 

Field  pumpkins  reach  their  pon- 
derous, golden-orange  peak  in  fall. 
Vines  are  heavy  with  Illinois  Beauties, 
Indiana  Cornfields,  Bugle  Grammas, 
Nantucket  Pies,  Quaker  Pies,  Golden 
Crushaws,  and  even  Red  Chinas.  All 
the  varieties  belong  to  the  same  spe- 
cies, Cucurbita  pepo. 

Pumpkins  originated  in  Mexico  and 
Central  America.  Centuries  before 
Columbus  reached  the  New  World, 
Indian  tribes  were  cultivating  pump- 
kins all  over  North  America. 

Captain  John  Smith  wrote  that  Vir- 
ginia Indians  grew  a  "fruite  like  unto 
a  Muske  Millon,  but  lesse  and  worse." 
The  intrepid  Englishman  apparently 
made  the  mistake  of  sampling  a  raw 
pumpkin. 

The  colonists  soon  found  that 
cooked  pumpkin  was  a  nourishing 
food.  They  made  pumpkin  soup,  stew, 
pudding,  bread,  and  griddle  cakes  as 
well  as  pie.  The  flesh  was  dried  for 
use  in  winter  and  spring. 

As  early  as  1630  a  versifier  wrote: 
"If  fresh  meat  be  wanting  to  fill  up 
your  dish./  We  have  carrots  and 
pumpkins  and  turnips  and  fish./  We 
have  pumpkins  at  morning  and  pump- 
kins at  noon,/  If  it  were  not  for  pump- 
kins we  should  be  undone."

BUSINESS 

AGENTS 

BRIEFED 

IN  FIVE-DAY 

SEMINAR 


FIRST 

ANNUAL 

GATHERING 

OF  BAs 

HELD  IN 

WASHINGTON 

HEADQUARTERS 


■  Day  by  day,  the  work  of  labor 
unions  becomes  more  complex  and 
demanding  as  government  regula- 
tions proliferate  and  technological 
changes  complicate  traditional  work 
practices. 

All  of  this  imposes  greater  and 
greater  responsibilities  on  the  busi- 
ness manager  of  a  local  union  or 
district  council.  The  newly-elected 
business  representative  finds  him- 
self faced  with  a  bewildering  array 
of  responsibilities  which  he  must 
cope  with  effectively  if  the  union  is 
to  make  adequate  progress. 


To  remedy  this  situation,  the 
United  Brotherhood  held  a  week- 
long  seminar  for  newly-elected 
business  representatives.  The  semi- 
nar was  held  at  the  general  office 
during  the  week  of  September  18. 
Some  131  actually  were  in  attend- 
ance. 

The  General  President,  William 
Sidell,  opened  the  seminar  with  a 
comprehensive  analysis  of  the  prob- 
lems which  face  our  Brotherhood  in 
particular,  and  the  whole  labor 
movement  in  general.  He  analyzed 
the  financial  structure  of  the  Broth- 
erhood and  outlined  the  need  for 
greatly  stepped-up  emphasis  on 
organizing.  He  also  stressed  the 
absolute  need  for  all  business  repre- 
sentatives having  a  complete  under- 
standing of  our  Brotherhood's  juris- 
diction so  that  it  can  be  adequately 
protected  in  all  situations. 

"Being  a  business  agent  is  a 
sacred  trust  .  .  .  one  which  requires 
attention  to  office  and  devotion  to 
duty,"  the  General  President  told 
the  assembly. 

"We're  living  in  a  new  age.  Peo- 
ple are  demanding  more  service. 
The  younger  generation  is  knowl- 
edgeable about  what  is  coming  to 
them,  and  they  expect  you  to  de- 
liver." 

He  urged  the  local  union  leaders 
to  "tell  it  like  it  is."  He  warned 
that  they  must  know  their  local 
contracts  thoroughly. 

President  Sidell  placed  much  cm-

phasis  on  strong  local  organizing 
programs: 

"We  cannot  stand  on  our  laurels, 
as  we  have  sometimes  done  in  the 
past.  To  keep  your  union  going, 
you're  going  to  have  to  provide 
some  organizational  efforts,"  he 
said. 

He  pointed  out  that  the  Brother- 
hood cannot  provide  sufficient  or- 
ganizers for  every  local  organizing 
effort,  and  that  local  unions  must 
take  on  much  of  this  responsibility 
themselves. 

He  called  organizing  the  lifeblood 
of  the  organization  and  emphasized 
that  "we  cannot  pass  up  these  non- 
union jobs." 

"This  organization  has  no  closed 
charters,"  he  stressed.  "You  had 
better  bring  those  outside  workers 
into  the  organization  or  suffer  the 
consequences." 

He  told  the  BA's:  "You'll  keep  a 


member,  if  you  treat  him  fairly. 
But  if  you  don't  offer  him  service 
through  the  union,  'he'll  beat  your 
brains  out'  on  non-union  jrbs." 

First  General  Vice  President 
Herbert  Skinner  emphasized  the 
necessity  for  expanding  and  con- 
stantly upgrading  both  the  quality 
and  quantity  of  apprenticeship 
training.  He  impressed  on  the  neo- 
phyte business  representatives  the 
need  for  paying  close  attention  to 
the  apprenticeship  programs  con- 
ducted by  their  local  unions  or  dis- 
trict councils. 

General  Secretary  Livingston 
gave  the  participants  in  the  confer- 
ence a  thorough  briefing  on  the 
need  for  local  unions  keeping  accu- 
rate and  proper  records.  While  the 
actual  keeping  of  records  may  not 
be  the  direct  responsibility  of  the 
business  representative,  he  never- 
theless needs  to  have  a  thorough 
knowledge    of    the    record-keeping 


After  two  or  three  days  of  study, 
note  pads  were  crammed  with  notes. 


Participants  in  the  seminar 
found  that  they  shared  many 
problems  . .  .  and  many  answers 
to  these  problems.

system  of  the  Brotherhood  so  that 
he  can  render  assistance  if  called 
upon. 

General  Treasurer  Charles  Nich- 
ols dwelt  at  some  length  on  the  cur- 
rent political  picture  and  the  vital 
necessity  of  local  unions  and  dis- 
trict councils  actively  participating 
in  the  election  of  men  who  have 
some  sympathy  for  the  aims  of  the 
labor  movement.  He  summarized 
the  work  which  the  Carpenters 
Legislative  Improvement  Commit- 
tee (CLIC)  has  been  doing  to  pro- 
mote beneficial  legislation  and 
stymie  legislation  which  poses  a 
threat  to  the  advancement  of  work- 
ing people. 

For  the  whole  week,  the  staff  at 
the  General  Office  covered  such 
diverse  subjects  as  collective  bar- 
gaining procedures,  organizing 
techniques,  membership  education, 
steward  selection  and  education, 
community  action,  implementation 
of  General  Office  policy,  and  en- 
forcement of  trade  jurisdiction. 

All  sessions  were  work  sessions

to  ask  questions. 

By  the  end  of  the  week,  the  par- 
ticipants in  the  conference  were 
given  a  comprehensive  insight  into 
day-by-day  problems  confronting 
the  average  business  representative 
of  a  local  union  or  district  council. 

In  any  human  endeavor,  a  vital 
ingredient  to  achieving  success  is 
knowing  one's  job  thoroughly.  As

Master  Carpenters  and  Furniture  Workers 
From  Germany  Visit  Brotherhood  Headquarters 


■  A  letter  arrived  at  the  General 
President's  office,  last  summer,  with 
the  following  statement  and  request: 

"The  'Fachverband  Holz  und 
Kunststoffe  Westfalen'  of  Germany 
(Association  for  Wood  and  Syn- 
thetic Fibers)  is  sponsoring  a  study 
tour  to  the  United  States  for  about 
30  of  its  members,  scheduled  to 
take  place  October  2-15.  1972.  .  .  . 

"While  in  this  country  the  tour 
members  will  visit  a  few  modern, 
interesting  woodworking  companies, 
cabinet  makers,  wood  furniture 
manufacturers,  furniture  exhibitions, 
producers  of  wooden  buildings, 
store  fronts,  store  interiors,  etc.,  for 
a  tour  of  the  facilities  and  an  ex- 
change of  ideas  with  their  American 
colleagues. 

"In  addition,  the  German  dele- 
gation has  expressed  the  desire  to 
include  a  meeting  with  a  representa- 
tive of  your  union  in  the  itinerary 
to  learn  about  new  trends  and  de- 
velopments in  U.S.  carpentry, 
wages,  training,  working  hours, 
working  conditions,  etc. 

"Therefore,  we  ask  whether  you 
would  be  able  to  set  up  such  a 
meeting,  preferably  for  Wednesday, 
October  1  1.  at  3:00  PM  .  .  ." 

General    President    William    Si- 


dell's  response  was  affirmative  and 
warm,  and  at  the  designated  time, 
October  1 1  a  chartered  bus  carry- 
ing the  visitors  drew  up  at  the 
Brotherhood  headquarters  in  Wash- 
ington. 

On  hand  to  greet  the  visitors  was 
General  President  Sidell.  First  Gen- 
eral Vice  President  Herbert  C. 
Skinner,  Assistant  to  the  General 
President  John  Rogers,  and  Re- 
search Director  Nicholas  Loope, 
who  had  handled  arrangements  for 
the  visit. 

The  guests  were  assembled  in  the 
main  auditorium  where,  with  the 
aid  of  an  interpreter,  they  were  offi- 
cially greeted,  and  the  Brotherhood 
leaders  answered  questions.  A  spe- 
cial packet  of  explanatory  material 
was  presented  each  guest,  and  they 
were  conducted  on  a  tour  of  the 
offices. 

The  guests  were  particularly  in- 
terested in  comparing  wage  scales 
and  working  conditions  of  US  and 
German  craftsmen. 

A  highlight  of  the  tour  was  a  visit 
to  the  fifth-floor  promenade  of  the 
General  Headquarters,  where  the 
guests  could  see  and  photograph 
many  of  the  city's  government  build- 
ings and  shrines.    ■

THE    CARPENTER 


All  new  1973  Chevy  Pickups. 
Full  of  basic  improvemeiits you  can  see. 

And  feel. 


New  quiet,  new  luxury  inside.  Comfortable 
new  surroundings.  A  brand-new  look. 
New  flow-through  ventilation  provides 
a  steady  flow  of  outside  air. 


New  available  camper  options  include  Elimi- 
pitch  camper  steadying  package  and  rear 
stabilizer  bars.  We  think  they'll  help  make  a 
Chevy  camper  rig  behave  like  you  want  it  to. 


New  Load-Control  rear  suspension  system 
features  leaf  springs  and  repositioned  shock 
absorbers,  one  angled  forward,  one  aft.  Ride 
improvement  is  substantial. 


When  we  conceived  the  new  Chevy 
pickup,  we  concentrated  on  improving  things 
we  thought  you'd  consider  most  important. 

We  used  a  computer  to  design  a  new  sus- 
pension system.  Moved  our  massive  Girder 
Beam  front  suspension  forward  to  lengthen 
the  wheelbase.  Added  Load-Control  rear  leaf 
springs.  And  we  staggered  the  rear  shocks. 


Result:  a  noticeably  smoother,  stable  ride 
plus  a  dramatic  improvement  in  handling. 

Inside,  we  created  a  spacious  and 
private  quiet  zone.  With  extensive  sound 
insulation  throughout  the  cab.  And  more 
head,  hip,  leg  and  shoulder  room. 

'73  Chevy  pickups:  our  most  comfort- 
able, best  riding  and  handling  ever.

We  Want  to  be  Known  as  a  Pro  Union  Company,  Says  Royal  Inns 


A  Royiil  Inn  Hotel  being  built  in  Salt  Lake  City. 


■  Royal  Inns  of  America,  one  of  the  nation's  fastest 
growing  hotel  and  motel  chains,  and  the  United  Brother- 
hood of  Carpenters  and  Joiners  of  America  recently  en- 
tered into  an  international  agreement. 

The  agreement  insures  that  all  new  Royal  Inns  will  be 
built  by  members  of  the  United  Brotherhood  performing 
the  traditional  jurisdiction  of  our  organization  in  accord- 
ance with  the  wages,  fringe  benefits  and  working  condi- 
tions set  forth  in  the  agreement  in  effect  in  the  area 
where  new  Royal  Inns  hotels  and  motels  are  to  be  built. 
Royal  Inns  will  employ  journeymen  referred  by  the  lo- 
cal unions  or  district  councils  having  jurisdiction. 

"We  want  to  be  known  as  a  pro-union  company," 
states  B.  H.  "Barney"'  Oldfield,  Royal  Inns  vice  presi- 
dent. "Hiring  union  help  is  good  business." 

General  President  Sidell  in  reporting  the  agreement, 
says:  "This  is  another  first  for  our  Brotherhood  in  its 
drive  to  provide  greater  employment  opportunities  for 
our  members." 

When  members  of  the  United  Brotherhood  travel  on 
business  or  vacation  they  can  be  sure  they  are  staying  in 
a  union-built  house  when  they  stop  at  Royal  Inns.  The 
photographs  appearing  on  this  page  are  but  a  sample 
of  the  concept  variety  adopted  by  Royal  Inns.  ■

Trade  Deficit  Is  Major  Threat,  Livingston  Tells  Maritime  Meet 


Growing  inequalities  in  foreign 
trade  is  the  most  serious  problem 
confronting  the  United  States  and 
its  labor  movement  today,  General 
Secretary  R.  E.  Livingston  told  the 
more  than  400  members  and  guests 
of  the  Buffalo,  N.Y.,  Maritime 
Trades  Port  Council  at  the  organi- 
zation's recent  sixth  annual  dinner- 
dance. 

"Last  year  was  the  first  time  that 


our  foreign  trade  showed  a  deficit 
(more  than  $2  billion)  in  this  cen- 
tury," Livingston  declared. 

He  blamed  the  situation  on  the 
tendency  of  some  American  firms  to 
close  down  domestic  plants — throw- 
ing thousands  of  Americans  out  of 
work  —  and  setting  up  substitute 
plants  in  foreign  lands,  where  the 
labor  force  works  for  low  wages. 
He  estimated  that  more  than  a  mil- 


lion US  jobs  have  been  wiped  out  in 
the  past  three  years  by  imports  from 
low-wage  countries. 

Livingston  called  attention  to  the 
fact  that  the  US  government  is  at- 
tempting to  retrain  workers  who 
lose  jobs  because  of  the  runaway 
plants  at  a  standby  wage  of  $87  a 
week.  But  the  stumbling  block  there, 
he  claimed,  was  the  refusal  of  firms 
to  hire  workers  35  years  old   and

older  who  are  already  trained. 

The  Brotherhood  leader  deplored 
the  fact  that  the  US  maritime  trades 
carry  only  5%  of  the  nation's  im- 
ports and  exports,  because  its  dwin- 
dling fleet  is  competing  against  ships 
made  in  foreign  lands  which  operate 
with  low-paid  crews  and  are  regis- 
tered under  foreign  flags. 

"Foreign  trade  by  American  ships 
on  the  Great  Lakes  is  almost  non- 
existent," he  declared,  "because  for- 
eign ships  move  95%  of  our  trade 
through  the  St.  Lawrence  Seaway, 
according  to  a  report  dated  August 
2,  1972." 

Following  addresses  delivered  at 
the  dinner,  the  President  of  the  Buf- 
falo Port  Council,  William  O.  Hoch, 
presented  brass  statuettes  of  a  bison 
"for  dedication  to  labor  service"  to 
General  Secretary  Livingston  and  to 
Congressman  Jack  Kemp  of  the 
39th  District  of  New  York. 

NYC  Housing  PR 
Questions  Item 

In  the  July,  1972,  issue  of  The  Car- 
penter we  published  an  article  about  the 
unsuccessful  Pruitt-Igoe  Public  Housing 
Project  in  St.  Louis,  Mo.  In  that  article  it 
was  stated: 

"Pruitt-Igoe  is  only  a  case  history  of 
what  has  happened  to  other  public  hous- 
ing projects  in  the  past  few  years.  Similar 
problems  exist  in  New  York,  Philadelphia, 
Chicago,  Detroit  and  Washington.  All  of 
these  cities  are  burdened  with  thousands 
of  abandoned  housing  units." 

This  statement  brought  disagreement 
from  Mr.  Val  Coleman,  director  of  public 
information  for  the  New  York  City  Hous- 
ing Authority. 

"No  building  unit  operated  by  the  New 
York  City  Housing  Authority  has  ever 
been  abandoned,"  he  states,  asking  for  a 
correction  of  our  statement. 

"We  at  the  Housing  Authority  take 
pride  in  the  fact  that  our  developments 
are  safe,  modern  and  wholesome  places 
in  which  to  live,"  Mr.  Coleman  continues. 
"Police  Department  statistics  show  that 
crime  within  public  housing  is  two-thirds 
less  than  those  in  non-public  housing 
areas.  This  is  just  one  indication  of  how 
well  we  are  coping  with  today's  urban 
problems." 

Perhaps  there  is  confusion  between  The 
Carpenter  and  the  NYC  Housing  Author- 
ity as  to  what  constitutes  a  building  unit. 
We  were  not  considering  an  entire  hous- 
ing project  or  development  as  a  unit. 

We  had  in  mind  partial  occupancy  of 
public  housing  structures,  due  to  vandal-

BETTER  PAY  AND  PROMOTION 


That's  right!  In  all  fifty  states,  men  who 
sent  for  these  free  blue  prints  are  today 
enjoying  big  success  as  foremen,  superin- 
tendents and  building  contractors.  They've 
landed  these  higher-paying  jobs  because  they 
learned  to  read  blue  prints  and  mastered 
the  practical  details  of  construction.  Now 
CTC  home-study  training  in  building  offers 
you  the  same  money-making  opportunity. 

LEARN   IN  YOUR  SPARE  TIME 

As  you  know,  the  ability  to  read  blue  prints 
completely  and  accurately  determines  to  a 
great  extent  how  far  you  can  go  in  building. 
What's  more,  you  can  learn  plan  reading 
simply  and  easily  with  the  Chicago  Tech 
system  of  spare-time  training  in  your  own 
home.  You  also  learn  all  phases  of  building, 
prepare  yourself  to  run  the  job  from  start 
to  finish. 


CASH  IN  ON  YOUR  EXPERIENCE 

For  over  68  years,  building  tradesmen  and 
beginners  alike  have  won  higher  pay  with 
the  knowledge  gained  from  Chicago  Tech's 
program  in  blue  print  reading,  estimating, 
foremanship  and  contracting.  Through  step- 
by-step  instruction,  using  actual  blue  prints 
and  real  specifications  of  modern,  up-to-date 
buildings,  you  get  a  practical  working 
knowledge  of  every  building  detail  —  a 
thorough  understanding  of  every  craft.  And 
as  a  carpenter  or  apprentice,  you  already 
have  valuable  experience  that  may  let  you 
move  up  to  foreman  even  before  you  com- 
plete your  training. 

Don't  waste  a  single  day.  Start  preparing 
right  now  to  take  over  a  better  job,  increase 
your  paycheck  and  command  greater  respect

.  .  .  those  members  of  our  Brotherhood  who,  in  recent  weeks,  have  been  named 
or  elected  to  public  offices,  have  won  awards,  or  who  have,  in  other  ways,  "stood 
out  from  the  crowd."  This  month,  our  editorial  hat  is  off  to  the  following: 


Studies  Center  in  Washington,  D.  C.  was 
Nicholas  R.  Loope,  the  Brotherhood's 
Director  of  Research. 

The  institute  examined  various  aspects 
of  conglomerates  and  multinational  com- 
panies. 

The  Labor  Studies  Center  is  the  labor 
movement's  first  national  full-time  educa- 
tional institution.  It  is  in  its  fourth  year 
of  operation. 

Another  Brotherhood  leader  who  re- 
cently completed  studies  at  the  AFL-CIO 
Labor  Studies  Center  was  Rodney  P. 
Bowley,  business  representative.  Local 
176,  Middletown,  R.  L 

Bowley  took  part  in  an  intensive  week- 
long  course  in  which  he  learned  spe- 
cifics of  law  as  it  pertains  to  labor- 
management  relations.  The  course  was 
taught  by  authorities  in  this  field — union 
attorneys,  AFL-CIO  staflt,  and  professors 
of  law.

SCHOLARSHIPS— Six  years  ago  Carpenters 

Local  No.  1772,  Hicksville.  N.Y.,  initi- 
ated an  effort  to  sponsor  an  annual  col- 
lege scholarship  to  deserving  high  school 
graduates.  A  committee  was  formed  and 
a  drive  to  raise  $500  was  started.  Notices 
were  sent  out  to  the  members  so  their 
children  could  compete  on  a  competitive 
basis.  Time  of  consideration  is  from  Jan- 
uary through  April  of  each  year. 

Winners  are  chosen  by  an  educator 
group  from  the  school  of  the  current  win- 
ner. As  the  years  progressed,  the  commit- 
tee decided  to  have  two  $500  scholarships. 

This  year,  award  winners  are:  Anthony 
Lach,  son  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Vitold  Lach 
of  Brooklyn,  N.Y..  and  Richard  Card- 
inale, son  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Peter  Card-

WATCH  THAT  BALANCE— The  Federal  Reserve  System  is  expanding  its  check- clearing 

machinery  throughout  the  United  States.   The  FRS  warns  "check  kiters"  that  the 
day  is  coming  when  most  checks  will  have  to  he  covered  by  cash  in  the  account 
almost  as  soon  as  they  are  deposited. 

RUBBLE  AT  PRUITT-IGOE-In  the  July  issue  of  The  CARPENTER  we  told  of  the  dismal 
failure  of  the  hig  public  housing  project  in  St.  Louis,  Mo.,  known  as  Pruitt-Igoe 
The  WASHINGTON  POST  reports  that  problems  are  not  over  there.   Two  12-story 
buildings  were  blasted  into  rubble  to  reduce  population  density,  etc. ,  and  now 
two  "mountains"  of  rubble  have  to  be  removed,  and  neither  the  City  of  St.  Louis 
nor  the  Housing  and  Urban  Development  Administration  seems  to  be  able  to  provide 
the  funds  to  do  the  job. 

PHASE  TWO  FAILURE— The  failure  of  the  Nixon  Administration's  so-called  "price 
controls"  has  discouraged  consumers  and  left  them  little  hope  for  improved  living 
standards.   The  AFL-CIO's  director  of  community  services,  Leo  Perils,  says  that 
the  government's  failure  to  protect  the  buying  power  of  tightly  frozen  wages 
while  profits  soar  bears  out  his  prediction  that  the  so-called  price  lid  would 
only  be  "the  frosting  on  the  corporate  cake." 


LABOR  PRESS  HOPE-The  fight  to  hold 
postal  rates  that  would  cripple  the 
introduction  of  similar  bills  in  bo 
non-profit  publications. 

One  bill  has  been  introduced  i 
Udall,  Arizona  Democrat,  who  is  cha 
identical  bill  has  been  introduced 
Massachusetts  Democrat. 

In  essence  the  measures  would 
copies  of  each  issue  to  two-thirds 
guarantee  that  all  future  increases 
next  July,  would  be  split  50-50  bet 


down  a  disastrous  increase  in  second  class 

labor  press  has  received  new  impetus  with 

th  branches  of  Congress  designed  to  protect 

n  the  House  of  Representatives  by  Morris  K. 

irman  of  the  House  Postal  Committee  An 

in  the  Senate  by  Senator  Edward  M.  Kennedy, 

reduce  the  postal  rate  on  the  first  250,000 
of  the  otherwise  applicable  rate  and  would 
,  including  those  scheduled  to  take  effect 
ween  the  newspaper  and  the  Federal  Government. 


NLRB  APPOINTMENTS— The  National  Labor  Relations  Board  has  announced  appointment 
of  two  new  Administrative  Law  Judges  to  conduct  hearings  and  make  findings  on 
unfair  labor  practice  cases:   John  F.  Corbley,  from  the  staff  of  Board  Member 
Ralph  E.  Kennedy,  and  James  Jenson,  an  attorney  in  NLRB's  San  Francisco  office. 

HI-JACK  SAFETY— Airline  flight  crews  are  urging  the  American  public  to  take  a 
personal  interest  in  the  rough  new  anti-highjacking  laws  now  going  through  the 
legislative  process  in  Congress. 

At  issue  is  not  whether  such  laws  are  needed,  but  how  far  the  Government 
is  willing  to  go  —  and  spend  —  to  put  "muscle"  in  them. 

In  setting  up  an  "Air  Transportation  Security  Force,"  the  bill  would  provide 
$35  million  to  focus  enforcement  work  under  the  Federal  Aviation  Administration 
(FAA)  as  part  of  its  overall  responsibility  for  air  safety. 

Backing  up  initial  screening  done  by  airline  passenger-service  agents, 
the  new  FAA  force  would  have  a  clear-cut  mandate  to  detect  and  apprehend  potential 
hijackers  among  the  500,000  passengers  who  each  day  board  U.S.  airliners. 

Internationally,  the  bill  calls  for  air-service  boycotts  and  other 
sanctions  against  nations  that  harbor  or  encourage  air  criminals.   Offending 
nations,  for  example,  would  be  denied  landing  rights  in  the  U.S.   Further  and 
of  prime  importance,  would  be  secondary  boycotts  against  nations  that  continue 
to  give  air  service  to  skyjacker  havens. 

Similar  legislation  is  presently  pending  in  the  House  of  Representatives.

THE  CARPENTER 


Chicago  Carpenters  lay  up  suspended  drywall  ceiling  by  directly  wire  hanging  the  640  Furring  System  and  continuously  screw 
attaching  around  entire  board  and  in  cross  direction.  The  system  requires  only  the  carpenter  crew  for  the  entire  installation, 
except  lighting.  It  offers  extra  strength  and  safety,  plus  more  flexibility  in  application. 


New  Chicago-Based  Ceilings  System  Proving  Popular 


■  George  Vest,  president  of  the 
Chicago  District  Council  of  Carpen- 
ters, announced  recently  that  mem- 
bers of  his  council  are  helping  to 
rbvolutionize  the  suspended  drywall 
ceilings  industry.  He  reports  the  fol- 
lowing: 

Art  Williams,  vice  president  of 
M.  Ecker  &  Co.,  a  major  Chicago 
contractor,  recognized  the  need  for 
a  better  and  easier  way  of  installing 
suspended  drywall  ceilings  without 
sacrificing  any  desirable  character- 
istics. He  reasoned  that  if  a  method 
involving   only   one    trade   for   the 


majority  of  the  installation  could 
be  developed,  the  result  would  be 
greater  quality  control  and  utiliza- 
tion of  manpower.  Mr.  Vest  fully 
agreed,  lending  his  support  to  the 
idea. 

The  traditional  method  entailed 
hanging  black  iron,  and  then  attach- 
ing furring  channel,  to  which  drywall 
panels  were  then  directly  attached 
to  the  screw  channel.  This  required 
careful  scheduling  and  cooperation 
between  at  least  two  trades.  This  is 
now  eliminated  by  modifying  the 
standard  ceiling  grid  system  com- 


ponents to  employ  the  best  advan- 
tages of  the  current  method,  while 
offering  this  new  innovation  that 
should  permanently  change  industry 
practice. 

The  new  system  is  called  the  640 
Furring  System,  and  is  comprised 
of  components  that  are  similar  to 
an  assembly  like  acoustical  ceiling 
grid.  Main  runners  are  direct  hung 
with  wire  at  4-foot  intervals  with 
snap-in  cross  tees,  with  8"  o.c.  slots 
within  the  main  runners  to  allow  for 
16"  or  24"  X  48"  configurations.

Chicago-Based  Ceilings 

Continued  from  Page  15 

Runner  and  tee  ends  are  trimmed 
as  necessary  to  fit  into  a  channel 
molding  attached  to  the  perimeter 
walls. 

With  the  firmly  anchored  wall 
molding  and  rigid  interlocking  mem- 
bers, a  uniform  and  level  suspended 
furring  system  is  achieved  that 
equals  or  exceeds  that  attainable 
with  black  iron  and  furring  channel. 
Being  direct  hung,  only  one  con- 
struction trade  is  needed,  the  car- 
penter. 

Cross-Tee  Strength 

Drywall  panels  are  then  directly 
screwed  to  the  suspension  system 
members  which  allows  for  continu- 
ous screw  attachment  all  around 
and  across  the  board.  Cross  tees 
add  extra  strength  by  giving  addi- 
tional attachment  surfaces  in  the 
perpendicular  (cross)  direction. 
With  this  greatly  increased  multi- 
directional attachment  area,  ridging 
(buckling)  of  the  board,  the  com- 
mon nemesis  of  all  drywall  ceilings, 
is  completely  eliminated. 

System  components  have  a  1%" 
face,  and  are  of  capped  double  web 
construction  to  give  a  larger  attach- 
ment surface  while  insuring  screws 
will  not  pull  out  under  load  or  stress. 
Formerly  used  furring  channel  had 
a  smaller  screw  surface  face  and  ran 
in  one  direction  only. 

Material  Costs  Low 

The  extra  strength  and  safety  of 
the  640  System,  as  well  as  ease  of 
installation,  is  obvious.  The  material 
costs  are  equal  to  or  less  than  the 
previous  method,  and,  with  the  elimi- 
nation of  a  trade,  savings  can  be 
considerable.  This  makes  it  easier 
to  sell  to  the  owner,  which  will  result 
in  increased  employment  opportuni- 
ties for  carpenters. 

This  new  system  offers  increased 
flexibility  and  a  wide  variety  of  ap- 
plications such  as  outside  entrance- 
ways,  soffits  and  driveways  of  high 
rise  buildings,  which  is  highly  un- 
usual. To  date  carpenters  have  in- 
stalled over  400,000  sq.  ft.  of  sus- 
pended drywall  ceilings  in  the  short 
time  this  system  has  been  available 
in  the  Chicago  area.  ■

THE    CARPENTER 


Early  Canadian  Carpenters  Responsible 
For  Many  Items  of  Social  Legislation 

BY   MORDEN    LAZARUS 


Canada  has  a  commendable  system 
of  social  legislation.  It  may  not  be  the 
best  in  the  world,  but  it  must  certainly 
rank  high  among  the  industrialized 
countries. 

The  trade  union  movement  in  Can- 
ada has  done  more  than  any  other  ma- 
jor group  in  society  to  bring  this  about, 
and  the  Carpenters'  Union  has  a  rec- 
ord going  back  to  the  early  part  of  this 
century  in  leading  the  fight  for  social 
justice  for  all. 

The  Carpenters'  record  can  actually 
be  traced  back  to  the  1  880s,  but  in  the 
early  1900's  when  the  old  Trades  and 
Labour  Congress  urged  legislation  "for 
the  maintenance  of  the  deserving  poor, 
old  or  disabled  citizens  who  are  unable 
to  maintain  themselves".  The  Carpen- 
ters, then  the  Amalgamated  Society  of 
Carpenters  and  Joiners,  urged  the  Con- 
gress to  press  for  super-annuation  and 
employment  benefits  which  would 
serve  as  the  beginning  of  a  national 
system  of  old  age  pensions. 

The  union's  initiative  in  this  field 
got  results  in  1912  when  the  federal 
government  appointed  a  special  com- 
mittee to  enquire  into  the  advisability 
of  such  a  plan. 

The  first  World  War  killed  discus- 
sion on  the  subject  for  half  a  dozen 
years.  But  it  was  revived  after  the  war 
by  a  handful  of  Labor  members  in  the 
House  of  Commons,  led  by  J.  S. 
Woodsworth  and  A.  A.  Heaps.  Both 
were  elected  to  Parliament  from  Win- 
nipeg soon  after  the  Winnipeg  Genera] 
Strike  of  1919. 

But  these  labor  stalwarts.  Woods- 
worth,  a  former  church  minister, 
Heaps,  a  member  of  the  Upholsterers, 
made  old  age  pensions  one  of  their 
prime  aims.  In  1926,  when  neither  of 
the  two  old  parties  had  a  majority  in 
parliament,  the  small  Labor  group  held 
the  deciding  votes.  This  gave  them 
leverage  to  force  a  promise  from  the 
Liberal  leader,  Mackenzie  King,  that 
he  would  introduce  an  old  age  pension 
plan  in  return  for  their  backing. 

So  an  old  age  pension  plan  came 
into  effect  in  1927,  paying  $20  a 
month  at  age  70  with  a  means  test, 
that  is,  a  person  could  get  the  pension 
if  he  had  virtually  no  other  income. 


Over  the  years  the  trade  union 
movement  and  its  few  representatives 
in  Parliament  have  persisted  in  their 
demands  for  a  better  social  security 
system  including  old  age  pensions. 

Now  the  old  age  pension  is  payable 
at  age  65  to  everyone  without  a  means 
test.  The  basic  pension  is  $80  a  month 
with  a  small  cost  of  living  allowance 
($2.88  a  month). 

In  addition  senior  citizens  of  limited 
means  get  a  supplement  to  a  maximum 
of  $150  a  month  for  a  single  person 
and  $285  for  a  married  couple,  plus 
free  health  services  in  almost  every 
province,  usually  excluding  dental 
care  and  drugs. 

Public  prepaid  health  services  have 
also  been  brought  about  by  the  con- 
sistent campaigning  of  trade  unionists. 

Unions  have  been  effective  in  several 
ways,  by  their  own  educational  and 
propaganda  efforts,  by  getting  fringe 
benefits  written  into  their  contracts, 
and  by  political  action. 

By  helping  elect  a  CCF  government 
in  Saskatchewan  in  1 944,  organized  la- 
bor v/on,  not  just  better  labor 
legislation  but  a  plan  of  prepaid  hos- 
pital care,  operated  by  a  government 
agency,  which  came  into  effect  in  that 
province  in  1946. 

In  1 960  that  government  introduced 
the  first  medicare  plan  in  Canada.  The 
doctors  fought  it  bitterly.  They  actually 
went  on  strike.  But  the  government 
put  the  plan  into  effect  in  1962. 

Today  hospital  care  and  medical 
care  are  part  of  the  public  health  serv- 
ices in  every  province.  In  Saskatche- 
wan, a  prominent  trade  unionist,  Wal- 
ter Smishek,  is  minister  of  health,  un- 
der an  NDP  government. 

In  Saskatchewan  the  premium  for 
hospital-medicare  on  a  very  compre- 
hensive basis  is  only  $72  a  year  for  a 
family.  In  Manitoba,  also  with  a  labor- 
backed  NDP  government,  the  premium 
is  $99.60  a  year  per  family. 

In  Ontario,  with  a  Conservative  gov- 
ernment, the  premium  for  similar 
services,  is  $309  a  year.  However, 
lower  income  families  pay  lower 
premiums  on  a  graduated  scale. 

When  in  1906  the  Carpenters'  Un- 


ion talked  about  "employment  bene- 
fits", the  union  might  well  have  been 
prophesying  the  adoption  of  unem- 
ployment insurance. 

A  national  unemployment  insurance 
plan  came  into  effect  in  1940.  Today 
the  plan  covers  all  employees  and  pays 
up  to  a  maximum  of  $100  a  week  in 
benefits. 

The  changes  in  the  legislation  this 
year  added  new  benefits  for  sickness, 
maternity  and  retirement. 

Family  allowances  were  a  very  con- 
tentious issue  in  parliament  before  it 
adjourned  July  7th. 

The  allowances  are  paid  to  every 
mother,  regardless  of  family  income, 
for  every  child.  The  amount  per  child 
per  month  isn't  large  but  it  is  cer- 
tainly helpful. 

This  year  the  federal  gevernment  de- 
cided to  change  the  family  allowance 
benefits  so  that  low  income  families 
would  get  more  per  child  but  families 
with  incomes  over  $12,000  would  be 
no  longer  eligible. 

This  raised  a  storm  as  it  included  the 
introduction  of  a  means  test  for  eligi- 
bility and  did  not  take  into  account 
increased  living  costs  and  family  size. 

The  new  legislation  failed  to  pass. 
The  original  legislation  is  still  in  effect. 

These  are  only  three  of  the  impor- 
tant items  of  social  legislation  which 
have  come  into  effect  in  Canada  since 
our  grandfather's  time. 

There  are  others.  Subsidized  public 
housing  was  late  in  being  accepted  in 
Canada.  The  legislation  has  been 
there  since  1946,  but  the  provinces  and 
municipalities  have  been  slow  to  act. 
In  the  last  few  years,  more  public 
housing  has  been  built  than  in  the  pre- 
vious 20  years.  The  need  is  still  there. 
Organized  labor  would  like  to  see 
public  housing  construction  acceler- 
ated. 

No-fault  auto  insurance  was  also 
introduced  for  the  first  time  on  this 
continent  by  the  CCF  government  in 
the  mid-40s.  and  then  by  the  Manitoba 
NDP  government  last  year.  Other  pro- 
vinces are  starting  to  do  something 
about  no  fault  auto  insurance  and 
costs,  but  the  private  companies  are 
still  influential. 

Minimum  wage  legislation  is  in 
effect  in  every  province,  ranging  some- 
where between  $1.50  and  $1.75  an 
hour.  The  new  federal  legislation  sets 
the  minimum  at  $1.90  an  hour  for 
those  employees  under  federal  legisla- 
tion. 

Community  health  centers  and  day 

care   centers   are   two   vitally   needed

ANADIAN 
REPORT 


After  the  Elections  Are  Held, 
The  Economic  Problems  Remain 


The  election  campaigns  in  both  the 
United  States  and  Canada  were  run- 
ning parallel  during  September  and 
October  and  there  were  some  inter- 
esting parallels  in  the  election  issues 
in  both  countries. 

Of  course,  both  elections — for  a 
new  federal  parliament  in  Canada  and 
for  a  new  Congress  in  the  United 
States — will  be  over  by  the  time  this 
is  read. 

But  the  basic  issues  will  remain. 
Economic  conditions  are  one  of  the 
main  issues  on  both  sides  of  the  border, 
and  for  working  people,  this  means 
employment  or  unemployment,  rising 
or  stable  prices,  the  size  of  pay  checks 
on  the  one  hand  and  profits  on  the 
other,  and  security  measures  like  pen- 
sions. 

In  Canada  the  big  headline  issue  of 
the  campaign  was  made  by  New  Dem- 
ocratic Party  leader  David  Lewis,  vet- 
eran politician  and  labor  lawyer. 

As  the  third  party  in  Canadian  poli- 
tics, the  press  in  previous  camoaigns 
has  tended  to  play  down  if  not  ignore 
the  NDP,  or  when  the  party  made  the 
news,  it  was  often  negative — for  ex- 
ample, "the  NDP  is  dominated  by 
international  unions  from  where  it 
gets  its  funds,"  and  such  nonsense. 

In  this  past  campaign,  the  labor- 
backed  (but  not  dominated)  NDP 
could  not  be  ignored.  It  had  just  won 
a  major  victory  in  a  provincial  election 
in  British  Columbia,  August  30,  a  few 
days  after  Prime  Minister  Trudeau 
called  the  federal  election  for  October 
30. 

This  win  meant  that  the  NDP  now 
holds  power  in  three  of  10  provinces, 
having  won  Manitoba  and  Saskatche- 
wan in  previous  elections.  This  is  the 
first  time  in  Canadian  history  that  a 
party  which  is  neither  Liberal  nor 
Conservative  has  held  more  than  two 
provinces  at  one  time. 


Naturally  the  B.C.  upset  victory 
gave  the  NDP  a  big  boost.  Naturally 
the  most  happy  NDP  supporters  were 
found  in  trade  union  ranks  in  B.C. 
where  organized  labor,  including  the 
building  trades,  had  been  having  a 
rough  time  with  the  ousted  big  busi- 
ness-backed Social  Credit  government. 

Premier  David  Barrett,  heading  the 
B.C.  NDP  government,  has  promised 
to  repeal  the  old  anti-labor  legislation 
and  replace  it  with  a  free  collective 
bargaining  system  which  will  include 
the  civil  servants. 

Barrett  is  a  forceful  leader  and  a 
man  to  watch. 

Federally,  David  Lewis  made  Can- 
ada's taxation  system  and  financial 
grants  to  corporations  key  issues  in  his 
campaign.  On  these  issues  he  had  the 
full  support  of  organized  labor. 

He  charged,  and  provided  figures 
to  prove,  that  the  personal  income  tax 
take  has  been  going  up  year  by  year 
as  the  corporate  tax  take  has  been 
going  down.  The  average  and  low 
income  taxpayer  has  been  called  upon 
to  carry  more  and  more  of  the  tax 
burden. 

Some  of  Canada's  biggest  corpora- 
tions, and  he  named  them,  paid  little 
or  no  taxes  over  a  period  of  years, 
while  many  others  paid  only  part  of 
the  tax  they  would  have  paid  if  they 
had  not  taken  advantage  of  special 
tax  concessions  like,  said  Lewis,  accel- 
erated depreciation,  depletion  allow- 
ances and  deferred  taxes. 

On  top  of  all  that,  the  federal  gov- 
ernment has  been  handing  out  huge 
sums  of  money  in  incentive  grants, 
presumably  to  create  jobs  in  hard  hit 
areas. 

These  grants  have  often  gone  to 
already  wealthy  corporations,  some- 
times to  build  plants  they  intended  to 
build  anyway,  at  other  times  to  build 


plants  in  one  area  which  took  away 
jobs  from  another  area. 

For  these  huge  costs,  lost  taxes  on 
the  one  hand  and  fat  grants  on  the 
other,  what  has  been  the  result?  The 
number  of  jobs  created  has  been  very, 
very  disappointing. 

Lewis  opposed  unnecessary  aid  to 
"corporate  welfare  bums,"  as  he  la- 
belled them,  and  at  the  same  time, 
urged  tax  relief  for  the  average  Ca- 
nadian taxpayer  and  heavier  expendi- 
tures for  housing,  sewage  treatment, 
day  care  centers,  muncipal  transpor- 
tation facilities  and  other  social  needs. 

By  this  time  you  know  the  result. 

Ontario  HOME 
Plan  Is  Working 

Ontario's  housing  agency,  the  On- 
tario Housing  Corporation,  is  trying 
to  keep  down  prices. 

It's  H.O.M.E.  (Home  Ownership 
Made  Easy)  has  been  functioning  well 
even  though  buying  still  isn't  as  easy 
as  H.O.M.E.  sounds. 

But  OHC  does  buy  land  on  a  large 
scale,  contracts  out  construction  to 
builders  whose  selling  prices  are  con- 
trolled. 

The  maximum  selling  prices  of 
H.O.M.E.  plan  houses  are  $15,000  for 
a  3-bedrooni  house,  $16,000  for  a 
4-bedroom  house  and  $17,000  for  5 
bedrooms. 

The  land  is  rented  by  OHC  to  the 
homebuyer  for  five  years  with  the 
option  to  buy,  or  continue  renting,  at 
the  end  of  that  period. 

Minimum  down  payments  for  OHC 
houses  are  under  $1,000  while  land 
rents  from  $27  to  $37.50  a  month. 

Only  families  with  incomes  below 
$9,000  a  year  can  purchase  under  the 
H.O.M.E.  plan. 

Land  Grabbers 
Force  Up  Prices 

When  a  politician  makes  a  state- 
ment these  days,  he  must  have  won 
public   confidence  to  be  believed. 

When  a  labor  party  politician  makes 
a  charge  which  is  in  effect  backed  up 
by  a  statement  by  an  important  busi- 
nessman, it  should  help  his  credibility. 

David  Lewis,  whose  team  of  re- 
searchers did  their  work  well,  charged 
that  major  developers  have  gobbled  up 
huge  blocks  of  land  across  Canada 
and  often  control  up  to  90  per  cent 
of  land  zoned  for  residential  construc- 
tion. 


26 


THE    CARPENTER 


This  widespread  land  speculation  by 
relatively  few  but  big  corporations  has 
been  a  major  factor  in  forcing  up  land 
prices.  Lewis  quoted  government  fig- 
ures to  show  that  between  1966  and 
1971,  the  cost  of  a  lot  for  an  average 
home  went  up  73.2  per  cent.  In  the 
same  period  construction  costs  includ- 
ing labor  went  up  only  24.1  per  cent. 

The  NDP  has  always  favored  public 
acquisition  of  land  for  residential  con- 
struction to  keep  land  costs  down. 

Now  along  comes  a  major  developer 
Elliot  N.  Yarmon  who  told  the  Society 
of  Real  Estate  Appraisers  in  Toronto 
early  in  October  that  the  federal  gov- 
ernment could  solve  Canada's  housing 
problem  through  a  program  which  in- 
cluded selective  land  acquisition  and 
subsidized  interest  rates. 

He  said  that  massive  government 
intervention  is  needed  to  ease  the  cost 
of  land  and  money. 

The  land  should  also  be  serviced  by 
the  government  and  rented  to  home- 
buyers  for  long  periods  at  low  rents. 

"I  believe  the  housing  shortage  can 
be  solved.  Every  Canadian  who  wants 
his  own  home  can  be  provided  with 
one.    But  the  price  will  be  high,  and

ing I  earned

unit  ...  it  was 
best  instruction 
one  can  set."

With  that  Lewis  and  labor  could 
agree. 

Much  Expected 
Of  BC  Minister 

The  new  minister  of  labor  in  the 
B.C.  NDP  government  is  a  trade  un- 
ionist. William  King,  a  locomotive 
engineer  for  25  years,  is  already  at 
work  on  revisions  to  the  Trade  Unions 
Act.  One  of  the  revisions  is  most 
likely  to  be  repeal  of  compulsory  arbi- 
tration from  the  Mediation  Act.  The 
minimum  wage  will  be  increased  and 
workers  protected  on  the  job  through 
illness  and  strikes. 

Jobless  Rate 
Is  Still  Quandary 

With  two-thirds  of  the  year  gone  by, 
the  trend  is  up — for  business  profits, 
for  prices  and  for  unemployment. 

Tlie  continuing  higher  trend  of  job- 
lessness bothered  the  government  in 
the  midst  of  the  election  campaign. 
The  election  was  called  in  expectation 
that   jobless   figures  would   be   down. 

Government  spokesmen  blamed  the 
poor  figures  on  the  preference  of  many 
jobless  to  accept  unemployment  in- 
surance rather  than  work. 

However  with  less  than  50,000  jobs 
openings  for  well  over  500,000  unem- 
ployed, this  excuse  didn't  hold  water. 

As  for  prices,  the  consumer  price 
index  was  being  pushed  up  by  food 
prices.  Meat,  fish,  poultry  and  eggs 
were  all  up  in  price  while  vegetables 
will  now  be  going  up  due  to  a  poor 
growing  season  this  past  summer. 

Corporate  profits  should  also  be  up 
this  year.  Early  reports  showed  them 
up  by  as  much  as  35  per  cent  over 
1971. 

Statistics  also  show  that  currently 
42  per  cent  of  federal  taxes  comes 
from  personal  income  and  only  15 
per  cent  from  corporation  profits. 

Housing  Starts 
May  Reach  Record 

Housing  starts  may  reach  245,000 
units  this  year.  This  would  be  a  rec- 
ord total  and  compares  with  233,000 
last  year. 

Single  family  dwellings  are  taking 
precedence  over  apartments  this  year. 
The  demand  for  homes  continues  good 
as  people  are  still  convinced  that  prices 
are  on  the  upgrade.

The  painter  finished  putting  a  coat 
on  the  house  but  the  owner  asked 
why  he  hadn't  painted  the  founda- 
tion. "It's  raw  masonry,"  replied  the 
painter.  "It  wasn't  in  the  contract, 
and  would  need  two  coats.  But,  to 
show  nny  good  will,  I'll  put  one  coat 
on  anyway,  if  you'll  stand  the  cost 
of  the  second."

When  he  died,  thousands  showed 
up,  not  to  mourn  him  but  to  make  sure 
he  was  dead.  Nobody  wanted  to  give 
the  eulogy  at  the  funeral  because  no- 
body could  think  of  anything  nice  to 
say.  They  finally  induced  one  man  be- 
cause, "You  know  his  family,  and  you 
knew  him  better  than  anybody  else. 
Maybe  you  can  think  of  one  nice  thing 
to  say  about  him." 

hie  finally  consented  and,  after 
much  thought,  declared:  "This  man

Built  a  boat  that  resembled  The  Ark. 
So  she  wasn't  astounded 
Nor  even  confounded 
When  the  crow's  nest  became  home 
to  a  lark. 

— Edward  Fors,  Chicago,  III. 


Down-to-Earth  Foreman 

The  foreman  shouted  to  one  of  his 
carpenters  about  eight  stories  up, 
who  saw  him  but  couldn't  hear  what 
he  was  saying.  "You're  fired!"  yelled 
the  foreman,  and  the  worker  only 
shrugged  his  sholders  and  cupped  his 
ears  to  show  he  couldn't  hear  above 
the  din. 

"Forget  it!"  bellowed  the  foreman. 
"I'll  fire  somebody  down  here!  " — W. 
F.  Chisam,  Braintree,  Mass. 

UNIONISM  STARTS  WITH  "U" 

Good  Reason  Why! 

The  golfer  had  hit  three  consecu- 
tive brand-new  $2  balls  into  the 
water  hazard  when  his  sympathetic 
partner  said,  "Maybe  you'd  better 
shoot  an  old  ball.' 

The  duffer  sadly  replied,  "Unfor- 
tunately,  I  don't  have  any  old  balls!" 

BE  UNION— BUY  LABEL 

Some  Eau  de  Nobody? 

The  perfume  clerk,  trying  to  make 
a  sale,  cooed  to  the  housewife,  "Let 
me  interest  you  in  something  really 
and  truly  seductive!" 

"Seductive?"  shot  back  the  haus- 
frau.  "With  six  kids  tagging  me 
around?  What  I  need  is  a  repellant!" 


For  the  Opposite  Party? 

The  suspicious  husband  started 
searching  the  house.  Sure  enough, 
when  he  ripped  back  the  shower  cur- 
tain, there  stood  a  man.  With  re- 
markable presence  of  mind,  the  vis- 
itor shouted:  "Please!  I  haven't  fin- 
ished voting  yet!" 

UNION-MADE  IS  WELL  MADE 

Brains  and  Yeggs 

The  robber  put  a  gun  to  the  rob- 
bee's  head.  "Gimme  your  money  or 
I'll  blow  your  brains  out!"  he  snarled. 

"Shoot,"  wearily  replied  the  vic- 
tim. "In  these  days,  I  know  lots  of 
people  who  can  live  without  brains, 
but  not  without  money!  "

Tradesmen  Must  Not  Forget  Consumer, 
Floor  Layers'  Leader  Warns  Apprentices 


Union  members  and  apprentices  must 
give  a  full  and  productive  day's  work 
for  a  day's  pay  or  risk  the  chance  of 
pricing  themselves  out  of  the  labor  mar- 
ket. Perry  Joseph,  business  manager  of 
Floor  Layers'  Local  1310,  St.  Louis. 
Mo.,  cautioned  apprentices  in  a  first-ever 
face-to-face  talk  which  laid  on  the  line 
the  union's  concern  over  the  future  of 
the  floor  laying  trade. 

Taking  up  a  full  night's  training  ses- 
sion, June  8,  Joseph,  accompanied  by 
labor  and  management  members  of  the 
union's  joint  apprenticeship  committee, 
stressed  that  first,  the  days  are  gone 
when  a  union  card  automatically  meant 
good  wages  whether  or  not  the  member 
did  the  best  job  possible,  and  secondly, 
the  man  who  doesn't  give  his  best  cheats 
not  only  his  employer  but  also  himself 
and   his  family.  , 

In  a  frank  and  far-ranging  talk,  Jo- 
seph stressed  that  "we  as  tradesmen  can- 
not forget  the  person  of  prime  impor- 
tance— the  consumer. 

"We  are  accountable  to  the  consumer, 
he  is  our  boss,"  he  noted.  "You  too  are 
a  consumer,  and  don't  you  forget  it.  If 
you  go  to  the  store,  you  expect  to  get 
your  money's  worth.  If  you  take  your 
car  into  a  garage  and  it's  not  fixed  prop- 
erly, you're  upset.  The  consumer  who 
is  our  boss  is  in  the  same  position.  If 
we  cheat  him,  if  we  don't  do  the  best 
day's  work  we  can  do — and  I  don't  mean 
just  being  the  finest  mechanic  in  the 
world,  I  mean  productivity  as  well — then 
we  are  cheating  everyone — our  boss,  the 
consumer,  our  wives,  our  families  and 
ourselves." 

The  union,  said  Joseph,  can  negotiate 
good  wages  and  fringe  benefits  only  if 
the  employer  is  able  to  make  a  fair  re- 
turn on  his  investment  to  pay  for  them. 

"We  cannot,"  Joseph  stated,  "run 
prices  up  to  the  point  where  the  con- 
sumer cannot  afford  to  buy  the  em- 
ployer's products  and  our  services,  be- 
cause when  we  do  that,  we  knock  our- 
selves out  of  jobs." 

He  emphasized  this  point  by  noting 
that  industry  is  constantly  seeking  ways 
to  reduce  labor  costs  by  developing 
products  which  require  little  or  no  pro- 
fessional installation,  such  as  do-it-your- 
self products.  , 

Local  1310  is  particularly  vulnerable 
to  the  ups  and  downs  of  the  market 
place,  said  Joseph,  since  virtually  every 


one  of  its  employers  depend  entirely 
upon  individual  consumers  and  not  the 
government  for  sales. 

Emphasizing  that  with  Local  1310's 
outstanding  training  program  and  its 
superb  instructors,  the  union's  appren- 
tices have  no  excuse  for  not  being  the 
very  best  in  the  business.  Joseph  urged 
them  to  become  artisans  with  skill,  pride 
and  dignity  long  a  trademark  of  Local 
1310  craftsmen.  If  a  man  has  these 
things,  Joseph  indicated,  he  owes  apolo- 
gies to  no  one  and  earns  the  wages 
and  fringes  negotiated  by  Local  1310, 
which  are  among  the  best  in  the  nation. 

"And  let  me  emphasize,"  Joseph 
added,  "this  school  is  no  game  with  us. 
You  have  the  very  best  in  instructors. 
We  go  out  of  our  way  to  find  only  the 
most  professionally  qualified  journeymen 
to  teach.  And  it  costs  our  employers 
considerable  money  on  top  of  the  wages 
and   fringes   to   keep   the   school   going." 

He  cautioned  the  young  apprentices  to 
be  wary  of  any  journeyman  whose  "bad 
habits"  won't  allow  him  to  produce  a 
full  day's  work.  Realizing  that  in  every 
trade  there  are  men  who  look  for  the 
"shortcuts",  Joseph  cautioned: 

"Be  fair  to  yourself.  When  you  find 
the  guy  who  is  always  trying  to  take 
shortcuts,  trying  to  take  advantage  of 
the  other  guy,  the  consumer,  who's  the 
boss,  don't  do  it!  Our  wages  are  such 
that  we  can't  alTord  that  kind  of  atti- 
tude. We  will  totally  price  ourselves  out 
of  the  market  and  then  we'll  be  the  only 
losers. 

"Any  journeyman  that  wants  to  go 
home  at  3  p.m.,  who  doesn't  do  the 
very  best  job  he  is  professionally  capable 
of  doing,  is  wrong  —  fundamentally, 
principally  and  morally  wrong,"  Joseph 
stressed. 

He  added  that  Local  1310  was  proud 
of  its  members,  men  who  for  years 
have  worked  hard  in  building  the  un- 
ion's excellent  reputation.  But  he  real- 
ized too.  that  there  are  those  who  don't 
always  follow  in  the  tradition  set  by 
precedent. 

He  noted  that  because  of  the  excel- 
lent wage  scales  and  the  need  today  to 
stay  competitive,  the  unions'  labor  and 
management  apprenticeship  committee 
had  agreed  to  a  new  clause  being  writ- 
ten into  the  current,  newly  signed,  con- 
tracts. 

Instead    of    apprentices    automatically 


receiving  wage  increases  when  they  are 
due,  each  apprentice  will  be  reviewed 
by  a  joint  committee  composed  of  his 
employer  and  union  and  other  manage- 
ment representatives. 

If  this  review  committee  concurs  that 
the  apprentice  has  not  progressed  in  his 
ability  to  perform  on  the  job  or  has  not 
been  giving  a  full  day's  work  for  a  full 
day's  pay,  he  will  not  be  eligible  for  the 
wage  increase. 

Joseph  said  that  this  review  procedure 
is  in  compliance  with  the  federal  laws 
and  follows  the  trend  being  used  by 
many  other  crafts. 

"We  have  brought  ourselves  right  up 
to  the  very  top,"  he  said,  "but  it  didn't 
happen  overnight."  Evidence  of  the 
status  of  the  school,  he  said  is  the  fact, 
that  flooring  material  industries  far  and 
wide  send  new  products  to  be  tested  in 
the  appernticeship  school.

programs  which  are  now  getting  in- 
creasing attention.  The  first  provide 
modern  group  practice  preventive 
care  and  reduce  hospital  costs.  The 
second  provide  working  mothers  with 
some  assurance  that  their  children  will 
be  taken  care  of  at  reasonable  cost 
while  they  are  at  work. 


With  all  this  and  more,  what  else 
is  needed? 

Two  things,  better  co-ordination  of 
services  within  the  provinces  and 
across  Canada  (for  example,  medical 
and  dental  care  in  rural  and  northern 
areas  are  often  below  par),  and  the 
introduction  of  some  kind  of  guaran- 
teed annual  income  program. 

The  labor  movement  is  actively  sup- 
porting both.

We  Backed  Water  Pollution  Control  Bill 


■  The  92nd  Congress  finally  closed  up 
shop  on  October  18  and  those  Congress- 
men running  for  re-election  lost  no  time 
in  packing  their  bags  and  heading  back 
home  for  a  few  final  weeks  of  campaign- 
ing. In  the  last  few  hectic  weeks,  with 
both  the  Senate  and  the  House  of  Rep- 
resentatives working  late  into  the  night, 
Congress  tried  to  clean  up  the  legislative 
loose  ends  they  had  left  dangling.  Sev- 
eral important  bills  were  passed  and 
others  were  either  killed  or  shelved  to 
await  action  in  the  next  Congress. 

On  the  last  day  of  the  session.  Con- 
gress passed  a  new  $24.6  billion  dollar 
water  pollution  control  bill  over  a  Presi- 


dential veto.  This  is  a  bill  which  our 
Brotherhood  worked  hard  on  for  passage. 
Most  of  the  money  will  go  for  the  con- 
struction of  water  treatment  facilities. 

Also  passed  in  the  closing  days  were 
Social  Security  amendments  (without  the 
controversial  welfare  reform  provisions), 
improvements  in  the  Federal  workmen's 
compensation  law,  and  a  stopgap  public 
works  and  economic  development  bill. 
Two  important  measures  that  failed  to 
pass  at  the  last  minute  were  the  highway 
bill,  which  would  have  allowed  some 
funds  from  the  highway  trust  fund  to  be 
used  for  mass  transit  improvement,  and 
the  spending  ceiling  limitation  bill,  spon- 


sored by  the  Administration.  The  Senate 
filibustered  to  death  two  controversial 
measures,  one  that  would  have  created 
a  new  Consumer  Protection  Agency,  and 
one  that  dealt  with  the  problem  of  school 
busing  for  integration. 

The  labor  scorecard  for  the  92nd  Con- 
gress is  mixed — some  successes  and  some 
setbacks.  Many  anti-labor  and  regressive 
bills  were  introduced  and  pushed  forward 
on  the  floor  and  in  committee.  Most 
of  these  measures  were  killed,  but  some- 
times only  after  very  tough  fights.  Broth- 
erhood representatives  led  the  fight  in 
many  of  these  struggles. 

Job  safety  became  a  key  issue  in  the 
last  half  of  1972.  Anti-labor  forces 
fought  to  cripple  enforcement  of  the 
Occupational  Safety  and  Health  Act  by 
exempting  small  businesses.  After  a 
lengthy  struggle,  in  which  we  played  a 
key  role.  Congress  finally  agreed  to  ex- 
empt, temporarily,  firms  employing  three 
or  fewer  employees.  This  was  actually  a 
victory  for  labor,  because  an  earlier  ver- 
sion approved  by  both  houses  would 
have  exempted  all  firms  employing  15  or 
fewer  employees  from  the  safety  act. 

A  number  of  legislative  battles,  with 
Brotherhood  representatives  again  in  the

Farah  Strikers 
Still  Need  Support 

The  National  Labor  Relations  Board 
in  Washington  has  certified  Clothing 
Workers  as  the  bargaining  agent  for  the 
cutting  room  employees  of  Farah  Manu- 
facturing Co.  plants  in  El  Paso,  Tex.,  al- 
most two  years  after  the  representation 
election  was  held. 

Farah  objections  to  the  conduct  of 
the  election,  held  Oct.  14,  1970,  were 
completely  overruled  by  the  NLRB. 

The  ACWA  has  been  on  strike  against 
Farah  since  May  8  after  the  company 
fired  a  number  of  employees  for  union 
organizing  activities. 

After  the  majority  of  the  200  cutting 
room  workers  voted  for  ACWA  repre- 
sentation, Farah  refused  to  consent  to 
broader  representation  elections.  This  is 
one  of  the  key  issues  in  the  strike  of 
about  3,000  workers  at  several  Farah 
plants  in  El  Paso  and  Victoria,  Tex., 
and  Las  Cruces  and  Albuquerque,  N.M. 

The  Clothing  Workers  are  pressing  a 
nationwide  boycott  of  Farah  products — 
men's  and  boys'  slacks  and  sportswear — 
with  the  full  support  of  the  AFL-CIO 
Executive  Council.

Color  Guard  at  Timber  Lake 

Carpentry  trainees  at  the  Timber  Lake,  Ore,  Job  Corps  Cen- 
ter recently  participated  in  the  Timber  Festival  Parade  at  nearby 
Estacada.  They  served  as  a  special  color  guard  in  the  colorful 
parade. 

Wallace  Beatty,  James  Bates,  and  James  Lowery,  the  car- 
pentry trainees,  joined  Corpsmen  John  Hoskins  and  Larry 
Wilkenson  to  form  the  marching  unit,  shown  above.  They  were 
trained  for  the  special  assignment  by  Carpentry  Instructor 
Robert  L.  Benham.  The  unit  was  presented  a  special  award  by 
festival  judges. 


CLIC   Report 

Continued  from  Page  32 

forefront,  were  necessary  to  ensure  that 
Davis-Bacon  prevailing  wage  protection 
was  included  in  all  major  bills  involving 
construction.  After  a  floor  fight  in  the 
Senate,  for  instance,  we  managed  to  get 
Davis-Bacon  protection  (although  with 
some  loopholes)  in  the  revenue  sharing 
bill,  which  will  dole  out  $30  billion  in 
federal  funds  to  state  and  local  govern- 
ments over  the  next  five  years. 

More  direct  attacks  on  the  Davis- 
Bacon  Act  were  launched  by  reactionary 
Congressmen  who  sought  to  repeal  the 
law  or  restrict  its  coverage.  Some  other 
anti-labor  bills  which  were  defeated  after 
difficult  fights  were  compulsory  arbitra- 
tion bills,  bills  to  prohibit  issuing  food 
stamps  to  strikers,  and  bills  to  abolish  the 
political  rights  of  unions. 


On  two  major  bills  the  92nd  Congress 
labored  long  and  produced  nothing.  A 
massive  housing  bill,  which  would  revise 
and  consolidate  existing  programs,  ran 
out  of  time  for  passage.  And  the  mini- 
mum wage  bill,  after  passing  both  houses, 
died  for  lack  of  a  compromise  satisfac- 
tory to  a  majority  of  both  houses. 

Another  major  area  in  which  no  ma- 
jor legislation  was  produced  was  public 
works.  One  major  bill,  the  public  works 
acceleration  bill,  was  vetoed  in  1971. 
The  public  works  and  economic  develop- 
ment bill,  which  included  an  accelerated 
public  works  provision,  had  to  be  wa- 
tered down  to  secure  passage  before  the 
end  of  the  session.  The  House  earlier 
voted  down  a  public  works  bill  that 
would  have  channeled  $5  billion  into 
construction  of  water  and  sewer  works. 

The  legislative  successes  we  have  been 
able  to  achieve  are  due  in  large  part  to 


the  thousands  of  Brotherhood  members 
who  have  voluntarily  contributed  to 
CLIC.  The  kind  of  laws  that  Congress 
produces  depend  on  the  kind  of  men 
and  women  sitting  in  Congress.  In  1972 
more  members  than  ever  before  contrib- 
uted to  CLIC.  By  applying  our  resources 
carefully  we  were  able  to  put  these  CLIC 
dollars  to  work  to  help  bring  proven  and 
progressive  friends  of  labor  back  to 
Washington. 

The  92nd  Congress  will  probably  not 
go  down  in  history  as  either  the  best  or 
worst  Congress.  As  always,  we  won  some 
battles  and  lost  some.  But  in  the  day-to- 
day workings  of  the  legislative  process 
we  have  endeavored  to  protect  and  ad- 
vance the  rights  and  interests  of  working 
men  and  women.  Now  that  the  92nd 
Congress  has  become  history,  we  are 
gearing  up  for  the  new  struggles  ahead 
in  the  93rd  Congress.  ■

passing  of  Paul  H,  Loper,  president  and  business  manager,  who  died  August  4,  1972 
at  the  age  of  47.  Brother  Loper  was  an  ardent  labor  man  who  served  his  members 
and  industry  equally.  His  concern  for  all  was  interlaced  with  friendship  and  under- 
standing and  his  helping  hand  was  extended  to  all. 


Local  289  of  Lockport,  N.  Y.,  Mourns  the  death  of  Martin  E.  Loftus,  who  passed 
away  on  May  18,  1972.    He  had  been  a  member  of  the  Brotherhood  for  63  years. 


Harry  French,  who  had  a  total  of  62  years  of  service  as  a  member  of  Local  184, 
Salt  Lake  City,  U.,  died  recently.  His  brothers  in  the  local  union  and  the  Brother- 
hood mourn   his  passing. 


The  last  remaining  charter  member  of  Local  403,  Alexandria,  La.,  John  J.  Michiels, 
died  June  13,  1972  after  almost  58  years  of  Brotherhood  membership.  Michiels  joined 
Local  403  on  July  8,  1914,  and  he  served  for  a  time  as  president  and  later  as  financial 
secretary. 


James   Eckiss,   who   joined   Local    1188,   Mt.   Carmel,   111.,   on   November   7,    1921, 
passed  away  last  July   18,  with  almost  51  years  of  service. 


BEQUEST  TO  THE  BROTHERHOOD 

The  United  Brotherhood  was  recently  named  a  beneficiary 
in  the  will  of  a  longtime  member  of  Local  11,  Cleveland,  O. 

George  A.  Bailey  passed  away  several  months  ago  and  left, 
under  terms  of  his  will,  a  bequest  of  $2,500  to  the  United 
Brotherhood  of  Carpenters  and  Joiners  of  America,  The  General 
President  was  notified,  early  this  year,  that  this  amount  was 
forthcoming  in  an  accounting  of  Brother  Bailey's  estate. 

Bailey  also  left  bequests  to  many  local  and  national  health 
and  welfare  organizations  under  the  terms  of  his  will.  Among 
those  receiving  funds  were  the  Ohio  Shriners  Hospital  for  Crip- 
pled Children,  the  New  Britain,  Conn.,  Chapter  of  the  American 
Red  Cross,  the  Connecticut  Division  of  the  American  Cancer 
Society,  the  Ashland,  O,,  Chapter  of  the  Salvation  Army,  the 
Ashland  Samaritan  Hospital,  Father  Flanagan's  Boys  Home, 
four  other  health  agencies,  and  several  personal  friends.

What  Brought  A 


■  If  there  is  one  phrase  in  our  language  which 
is  overworked,  it  is  "affluent  society."  Writers, 
speakers,  commentators,  are  constantly  referring 
to  America  as  the  "affluent  society." 

In  terms  of  automobiles,  washing  machines, 
bathtubs,  etc.,  we,  indeed,  are  an  affluent  society 
— affluent  almost  beyond  the  capacity  of  many 
parts  of  the  world  to  understand. 

However,  in  terms  of  breatheable  air  and  drink- 
able water,  we  are  something  less  than  affluent.  By 
the  time  we  achieve  clean  air  and  pure  water,  our 
affluence  may  be  diminished  considerably.  But  that 
is  another  story. 

Not  since  the  heyday  of  the  Roman  Empire, 
2000  years  ago,  has  one  nation  achieved  the  eco- 
nomic dominance  which  we  in  the  United  States 
and  Canada  enjoy  today. 

The  United  States  and  Canada  jointly  occupy 
some  14  or  15  percent  of  the  world's  land,  and 
our  population  accounts  for  no  more  than  7  or  8 
percent  of  the  world  total;  yet,  we  enjoy  some  45 
or  50  percent  of  the  world's  goods. 

In  many  undeveloped  nations  the  average  an- 
nual income  of  workers  does  not  equal  one  week's 
pay  for  the  average  American. 

What  brought  about  this  mighty  productive 
miracle  that  is  America?  T  have  pondered  this  ques- 
tion many  times,  and  I  usually  come  up  with  an 
answer  that  gives  me  considerable  pride. 

First,  I  ask  myself  can  our  greatness  be  attrib- 
uted to  the  fact  that  we  have  tremendous  material 
resources?  Resources,  of  course,  are  part  of  the 
answer.  Without  our  vast  resources  of  coal,  iron, 
oil,  and  millions  upon  millions  of  acres  of  fertile 
land,  we  would  not  have  been  able  to  achieve  the 
productive  might  that  undergirds  our  entire  system. 

But  then  I  remember,  there  are  many  other 
countries  in  the  world,  Russia  and  Brazil,  to  name 
but  two,  which  have  resources  equal  to  or  better 
than  ours.  Yet,  they  are  far  behind  us  in  providing 
the  good  things  of  life  for  their  citizens.  So  natural 
resources  alone  are  not  the  answer. 


Next,  I  ask  myself,  have  we  achieved  what  we 
have  because  we  are  smarter  than  other  people?  A 
little  bit  of  reflection  knocks  this  theory  in  the 
head,  too. 

We  are  made  up  of  peoples  from  every  part  of 
the  world.  There  is  not  a  race  or  creed  or  color 
which  has  not  contributed  something  to  our  cul- 
ture and  our  economic  life.  Since  we  are  made  up 
of  people  from  all  parts  of  the  world,  it  is  impos- 
sible for  us  to  be  smarter  than  anybody  else.  So 
our  progress  cannot  be  ascribed  to  superior  in- 
tellect. 

So  next  I  ask  myself,  is  it  because  we  work 
harder  than  any  other  people?  Again,  I  believe  the 
answer  is  no.  We  work  shorter  hours  and  fewer 
days  of  the  week  than  any  other  people  on  the  face 
of  the  earth.  We  have  longer  vacations  and  shorter 
workdays  than  anybody  else.  So  hard  work  is  not 
the  complete  answer  either. 

If  abundant  resources,  high  intelligence,  or  hard 
work  are  not  the  answer,  what  is? 

I  believe  that  a  major  part  of  the  answer  can  be 

found  in  the  wisdom  which  our  founding  fathers 
displayed.  They  eschewed  titles  and  special  priv- 
ileges based  on  inheritance.  Instead,  they  opted  for 
equal  opportunity  for  all.  For  the  first  time  in  hu- 
man history,  men  were  given  an  opportunity  to 
move  as  far  and  as  fast  as  their  ambitions  and 
talents  could  take  them  in  any  field  they  chose. 

The  age-old  concept  that  the  miner's  son  should 
be  a  miner  or  a  tradesman's  son  should  be  a  trades- 
man was  discarded.  An  educational  system  was 
devised  to  afford  a  clear  shot  at  any  goal  any 
youngster  aspired  to. 

In  the  main,  however,  the  ability  of  most  people 
to  move  freely  within  the  economic  structure  of  the 
country,  the  ability  of  young  people  to  aspire  to 
any  goal,  provided  the  brains  and  the  drive  that 
were  needed  to  build  the  kind  of  economic  empire 
we  now  enjoy.  Many  of  today's  top  scientists,  ad- 
ministrators, and  professional  people  sprang  from 
the    lowliest    backgrounds — backgrounds    which 


40

out  America's  Miracle? 


would  have  denied  them  opportunities  in  many 
other  parts  of  the  world. 

As  a  result  of  the  freedom  to  move  freely  within 
the  economic  structure,  there  grew  up  in  the  United 
States  and  Canada  a  free  and  independent  labor 
movement  which  has  contributed  greatly  to  the 
economic  growth  which  has  been  ours. 

Through  the  labor  movement,  the  wealth  of  the 
nation  has  been  more  equitably  distributed  than  in 
any  other  place  in  the  world.  The  miracle  of  Gen- 
eral Motors  is  not  that  it  can  produce  8  or  10  mil- 
lion cars  per  year.  Other  nations  have  the  skills 
and  the  know-how  to  do  the  same  thing.  The  real 
miracle  is  that  General  Motors  can  sell  10  million 
cars  per  year  in  the  United  States  and  Canada  be- 
cause the  labor  movement  elevated  the  economic 
status  of  so  many  workers  to  the  point  where  they 
can  afford  an  automobile. 

In  the  final  analysis,  the  labor  movement  really 
constitutes  the  keystone  in  the  arch  of  our  eco- 
nomic structure.  It  has  done  more  to  eradicate 
poverty  and  promote  financial  stability  than  all  the 
economic  planners  and  social  workers  added  to- 
gether. 

The  labor  movement  is  the  lobby  for  the  poor, 
the  underprivileged,  and  the  dispossessed.  It  played 
the  key  role  in  the  estabhshment  of  unemployment 
insurance,  the  minimum  wage,  social  security,  and 
all  the  other  social  legislation  which  has  made  life 
less  hazardous  and  more  stable  for  millions  of 
Americans,  both  union  and  non-union. 

Currently,  it  is  the  labor  movement  which  is 
carrying  the  brunt  of  the  battle  for  a  more  realis- 
tic minimum  wage,  a  comprehensive  health  pro- 
gram, and  meaningful  tax  reform. 

None  of  these  things  are  exclusive  items  for 
union  members.  They  apply  to  all  citizens  alike. 
Therefore,  I  think  those  of  us  who  work  in  the 
labor  movement  have  some  reason  for  taking  pride 
in  what  we  do. 

If  we  are  an  affluent  society,  we  are  such  be- 


cause many  generations  of  working  people  orga- 
nized unions  and  gave  them  the  tools  to  conduct 
an  unceasing  fight  against  exploitation,  poverty, 
and  economic  uncertainty. 

Technological  change  may  have  altered  the  na- 
ture of  the  battle,  but  the  labor  movement  is  still 
engaged  in  ongoing  efforts  to  eliminate  the  dangers 
and  shortcomings  which  still  plague  too  many  of 
our  citizens  on  the  bottom  rungs  of  the  economic 
ladder.    ■

THE   COVER 

The  warm  glow  of  candlelight  adds 
an  aura  of  reverence  to  the  holiday 
scene  in  countless  homes  around  the 
world.  The  candles  on  our  cover  are 
our  way  of  wishing  you  a  Merry 
Christmas. 

Once  displayed  as  solitary  sentinels 
in  Christmas  wreathes  and  frosted 
windows,  candles  of  many  colors  are 
now  grouped  in  rows  and  clusters  on 
thousands  of  festive  boards  and  are 
offered  in  an  endless  variety  of  de- 
signs to  Christmas  shoppers. 

Candlemaking  has  become  a  craft 
hobby,  and  shops  now  offer  paraffin 
wax  in  many  colors,  molds,  and  wicks 
so  that  you  may  produce  your  own. 

Candlemaking  was  a  domestic  pur- 
suit for  many  centuries.  Candles  are 
depicted  in  relief  on  ancient  Egyptian 
tombs.  The  Greeks  and  Romans  had 
candles  and  tapers  made  of  tallow 
and  wax. 

During  the  Middle  Ages  candle- 
making became  a  fulltime.  skilled 
craft.  Candle  molds  for  tallow  ap- 
peared in  the  15th  century,  but  it 
was  not  until  the  mid-1 9th  century 
that  the  development  of  paraffin  wax 
made  candlemaking  the  simple,  crea- 
tive joy  it  is  today.

Membership  Decides 

to  Discontinue 

Operation  of  tiie 

Carpenters'  Home 


■  During  the  month  of  October 
the  membership  by  general  vote  de- 
cided the  issue  of  continuance  of  the 
Carpenters'  Home.  The  membership 
votes  have  now  been  cast  and  tabu- 
lated and  the  tabulation  shows  that 
the  membership  by  over  two  to  one, 
59,480  to  24,049,  decided  to  discon- 
tinue the  operation  of  the  Home. 

In  the  October  issue  of  THE 
CARPENTER,  the  General  Execu- 
tive Board  advised  the  membership 
that  they  concluded  that  the  contin- 
ued operation  of  the  Carpenters' 
Home  was  no  longer  in  the  best  in- 
terest of  the  overall  membership. 
The  decision  and  recommendation 
of  the  General  Executive  Board  was 
a  most  difficult  one,  not  a  difficult 
decision  based  on  these  facts:  (]) 
steadily  decreasing  use  of  the  Home 
by  the  membership;  (2)  steadily  in- 
creasing cost  of  operating  the  Car- 
penters' Home;  (3)  the  original  pur- 
pose and  need  of  the  Carpenters' 
Home  no  longer  exists  to  a  justifiable 
degree;  (4)  substantial  cost  of  nec- 
essary remodeling  to  meet  Florida 
Health  Department  regulations;  but 
a  difficult  decision  based  on  senti- 
ment. 

It  is  difficult  to  recommend  bring- 
ing to  a  dose  a  facility  which  has 
become  an  institution,  an  institution 
which  has  become  a  legend.  How- 
ever, as  in  all  walks  of  life,  as  in  all 
organizations,  public  and  private, 
those  facilities  which  have  become 
institution  and  those  institutions 
which  have  become  legend  with  the 
passage  of  time  and  change  of  cir- 
cumstances become  history.  So  it  is 
with  the  Carpenters'  Home.  The 
membership  has  spoken  and  the 
Carpenters'  Home  is  now  part  of  the 
history  of  the  United  Brotherhood. 

First  Obligation 

The  proposition  submitted  to  the 
membership  contained  a  provision 
to  provide  proper  care  for  all  pres- 
ent occupants  of  the  Carpenters' 
Home.  In  carrying  out  the  decision 
of  the  membership  to  phase  out  the 
Carpenters'  Home,  the  first  obliga- 
tion of  the  General  Executive  Board 
is  to  explore  the  various  possibilities 
of  making  such  arrangements  for 
the  present  occupants. 

Because  the  individual  condition 


THE    CARPENTE  R 


of  the  various  present  occupants  var- 
ies from  those  who  are  hale  and 
hearty  to  those  who  are  presently  in 
the  Home  hospital  and  will  have  to 
be  transferred  to  other  facilities  in 
the  Central  Florida  area,  the  making 
of  arrangements  will  not  be  a  simple 
matter.  The  exploration  of  possible 
accommodations  and  the  actual  de- 
termination and  implementation  of 
workable  arrangements  will  of  ne- 
cessity take  considerable  time. 

Perpetual  Care 

The  General  Executive  Board  is 
desirous  of  providing  perpetual  care 
for  the  cemetery  of  the  Carpenters' 
Home  and,  if  such  is  not  possible, 
will  provide  for  other  appropriate 
care  for  the  remains  of  the  deceased 
occupants.  The  General  Executive 
Board  is  now  exploring  possible  ar- 
rangements for  perpetual  care. 

The  proposition  submitted  to  the 
membership  also  authorized  the  Gen- 
eral Executive  Board  to  sell,  convey 
or  encumber  the  Home  and  the  real 
estate  on  which  it  is  located.  The 
General  Executive  Board  realizes 
that  this  property  has  substantial 
value.  Therefore,  all  possible  meth- 
ods of  disposing  of  this  property 
must  be  explored  so  that  maximum 


value  is  received  from  the  disposition 
of  this  property.  Such  exploration, 
determination  and  actual  disposition 
of  the  property  will  of  necessity  take 
considerable  time. 

While  the  membership  has  in- 
structed the  General  Executive 
Board  to  discontinue  the  operation 
of  the  Carpenters'  Home  and  dispose 
of  the  property,  the  actual  phasing 
out  and  the  disposing  of  the  proper- 
ty for  all  of  the  above  reasons  will 
take  a  considerable  amount  of  time. 

It  is  realized  that  during  this 
phase-out  period  the  cost  of  oper- 
ating the  Home  will  continue.  This 
is  true  because  not  only  must  the 
present  occupants  be  cared  for  at 
the  Home  while  suitable  future  ar- 
rangements are  being  made  for  them, 
but  also  the  building,  grounds  and 
facilities  must  be  serviced  and  main- 
tained until  they  are  disposed  of. 

Immediate  Costs 

As  the  membership  was  advised 
in  the  statement  which  accompanied 
the  general  vote,  the  monthly  cost 
of  operating  the  Carpenters'  Home 
currently  exceeds  monthly  Home  in- 
come. It  also  must  be  realized  that 
the  cost  of  providing  suitable  accom- 
modations for  the  present  occupants 


might  for  the  immediate  future 
amount  to  a  greater  cost  than  the 
present  cost  of  operating  Carpenters' 
Home. 

It  is  the  obligation  of  the  General 
Executive  Board  to  provide  for  prop- 
er care  of  present  occupants  of  the 
Carpenters'  Home.  Accordingly,  it 
may  become  necessary  to  apply  pro- 
ceeds of  the  Home  property  to  pay 
for  the  cost  of  providing  care  for 
the  present  occupants. 

Proceeds  Uncertain 

Because  of  all  of  the  various  costs 
and  other  factors  involved,  the  mem- 
bership must  realize  that  any  pro- 
ceeds which  will  result  from  the  dis- 
position of  the  property  is  at  this 
time  unknown.  Likewise,  because 
of  the  time  it  takes  to  make  proper 
arrangements  for  present  occupants 
and  the  time  it  takes  to  dispose  of  the 
property  in  a  manner  which  will  as- 
sure maximum  value  to  the  United 
Brotherhood,  the  membership  must 
realize  that  it  will  be  a  considerable 
length  of  time  before  any  such  pro- 
ceeds are  realized  and  available  to 
the  United  Brotherhood  for  use  for 
such  purposes  as  are  permitted  by 
the  Constitution  and  Laws  of  the 
United  Brotherhood.  ■

ROUNDUP 


NIXON  CONTROLS— Wholesale  prices  climbed  at  a  faster  pace  in  the  first  year  of 
the  Nixon  Administration's  "economic  stabilization  program"  than  they  did  in 
the  year  before,  according  to  the  Bureau  of  Labor  Statistics. 

The  report  prompted  AFL-CIO  Pres.  George  Meany  to  call  on  Congress  to  abolish 
the  entire  controls  program  "unless  the  Administration  really  controls  prices." 

In  the  12  months  ended  in  August,  all  commodities  on  the  Wholesale  Price 
Index  rose  4.4  percent.   But  in  the  12-month  period  before  Pres.  Nixon  imposed 
wage-price  controls,  the  index  rose  only  4.0  percent,  the  BLS  noted. 

NEW  TITLE  FOR  EXAMINERS— Trial  examiners  who  do  the  preliminary  work  in  cases 
brought  before  the  National  Labor  Relations  Board  have  a  new  title  now — 
Administrative  Law  Judges. 

The  new  title,  decreed  by  the  Civil  Service  Commission  for  examiners  in  all 
administrative  agencies,  is  designed  to  upgrade  the  status  of  the  examiners 
and  generally  reduce  the  workload  of  the  various  commissions  and  boards 
themselves . 

In  line  with  this  upgrading,  the  NLRB  now  calls  the  Division  of  Trial 
Examiners  the  Division  of  Judges  while  the  old  "trial  examiner's  decision"  now 
has  been  changed  to  the  simple  word  "decision." 

Otherwise,  the  NLRB  says  that  the  new  terminology  really  doesn't  change 
anything.   The  five-member  NLRB  still  has  the  authority  to  uphold,  reverse  or 
modify  the  "decisions"  of  the  board's  "judges." 

JOBLESS  FUNDS— AFL-CIO  President  George  Meany  has  called  upon  Labor  Secretary 
James  D.  Hodgson  to  urge  Congress  to  restore  $45  million  cut  from  funds  earmarked 
for  administering  the  Federal-state  unemployment  benefits  program. 

The  slash  was  made  at  the  request  of  the  Administration  prior  to  passage 
of  the  Labor-Health,  Education  and  Welfare  appropriations  bill  which  President 
Nixon  vetoed  in  August. 

In  a  letter  to  Hodgson,  Meany  expressed  the  Federation's  "deep  concern 
for  the  additional  hardships  millions  of  jobless  workers  and  their  families  may 
suffer"  if  the  funds  are  not  restored  in  a  revised  bill.

Label  &  Service  Trades  Dept.,  has  announced. 

The  show  scheduled  for  the  Minneapolis  Auditorium  has  already  signed  nearly 
250  exhibitors  for  about  500  booths.  Murphy  said. 

He  predicted  that  attendance  at  the  Minnesota  exhibition  of  union  products 
and  services  would  at  least  match  the  240,000  turnout  at  the  1972  show  held  in 
San  Diego.

A  SAMPLING  AT  RECENT  SEMINAR   REVEALS  SOME  FACTS  ABOUT  HIM 


■  More  than  a  hundred  local  union  business  agents 
assembled  at  General  Headquarters  in  Washington, 
D.C.,  recently  for  a  week-long  seminar  on  the  prob- 
lems of  their  offices. 

They  came  from  small  local  unions  in  the  Ozark 
Mountains  and  the  resort  areas  of  Florida,  from  the 
plains  of  Texas  and  the  thickly-populated  areas  of 
New  York. 

They  typified  the  Brotherhood  business  agent  of  the 
1970's — alert,  informed,  experienced,  and  prepared  to 
fight  for  the  causes  of  the  working  member. 

We  asked  each  participant  in  the  seminar  to  fill  out 
a  brief  questionnaire  about  himself.  This  is  what  we 
found: 

•  The  average  age  of  the  business  agent  is  44.3 
years. 

•  He  has  a  high  school  education  plus  special  craft 
training.  (The  average  educational  level  is  11% 
grades.) 

•  He  has  been  a  member  of  the  United  Brother- 
hood for  16.4  years. 

•  There  were  11  business  agents  present  between 


26  and  30  years  of  age  .  .  .  evidence  of  the  growing 
interest  in  union  affairs  among  the  younger  members. 
Twelve  participants  were  between  31  and  35,  and  19 
between  36  and  40. 

•  More  than  60%  had  been  through  a  Brother- 
hood apprenticeship  training  program. 

When  a  man  is  elected  business  agent  in  his  local 
union,  he  does  not  become  eligible  for  stock  dividends, 
retirement  benefits,  and  year-end  bonuses,  as  is  often 
the  case  if  he  is  a  business  administrator  or  an  execu- 
tive in  industry. 

Instead,  he  collects  ulcers,  bunions,  and  vast  ex- 
perience. 

In  addition,  he  sometimes  collects  the  abuse  of  a 
few  impatient  members  who  think  they  can  do  a  better 
job. 

The  men  who  participated  in  the  first  annual  Broth- 
erhood business  agents'  seminar  appear  to  be  equipped 
to  handle  such  a  job. 

The  seminar  added  to  their  preparedness.  Said  one 
business  agent:  "The  knowledge  I  received  at  those 
sessions  would  have  taken  years  to  acquire  by  the  old 
trial  and  error  method."  ■

'73  Construction  Expected  to  Equal  1972's  Record; 
Major  Shifts  in  Market  Composition  Forecast 


■  Contracting  for  new  construc- 
tion work  thoughout  the  nation  in 
1973  will  totaf  $88.5  billion,  the 
same  as  the  record  level  expected 
this  year,  but  it  will  have  a  signifi- 
cantly different  makeup. 

That  was  the  recent  forecast  of 
the  McGraw-Hill  Information  Sys- 
tems Company,  a  leading  authority 
on  the  construction  market  known 
for  its  Dodge  Reports  on  construc- 
tion activity  and  Sweet's  Catalogs  of 
building  product  information. 

According  to  George  A.  Christie, 
the  company's  chief  economist,  who 
prepared  the  forecast,  the  season- 
ally-adjusted Dodge  Index  (1967  = 
100)  will  be  holding  steady  at  160 
in  1973. 

In  his  forecast,  Christie  said  that 
residential  building  in  1973  will 
come  off  its  two-year  boom,  settling 
back  about  10  percent,  to  a  contract 
value  of  $38.7  billion.  This  will 
be  more  in  line  with  the  continuing 
demand  for  shelter. 

Biggest  stimulus  to  next  year's 
expanding  and  changing  construc- 
tion market  will  come  from  the 
much-improved  business  environ- 
ment.   This  will  have  greatest  im- 


pact on  industrial  construction, 
stores,  shopping  centers  and  electric 
power  facilities.  Led  by  these  cate- 
gories, nonresidential  building  and 
nonbuilding  construction — the  two 
other  major  construction  compo- 
nents— will  show  gains  of  eight  and 
12  per  cent,  respectively.  This  will 
just  about  balance  1973's  expected 
housing  decline,  Christie  pointed 
out.  A  total  of  $28.5  billion  in 
contracts  is  anticipated  for  the  non- 
residential segment  and  a  value  of 
$21.3  billion  for  the  nonbuilding 
construction  component  next  year. 

The  construction  forecast  includ- 
ed an  analysis  of  present  economic 
conditions  and  also  examined  con- 
struction markets  in  the  Northeast, 
Midwest,  South  and  West. 

Christie  said  that  the  1973  fore- 
cast was  contingent  on  the  economic 
priorities  to  be  established  by  the 
Administration.  On  the  assumption 
that  the  Nixon  Administration  will 
remain  in  office,  Christie  observed 
that  "past  performance  tells  us  that 
this  Administration  is  not  reluctant 
to  make  sudden  and  sweeping  re- 
versals of  economic  policy.  The 
decision  to  begin  shifting  economic 


policy  from  expansion  to  austerity 
has  already  been  reached,"  Christie 
feels,  "and  needs  only  to  be  imple- 
mented." 

Christie  noted  that  "after  two 
years  of  large  back-to-back  gains 
which  raised  1972's  contract  value 
30  per  cent  above  the  1970  level, 
the  construction  industry  now  faces 
a  period  when  the  most  important 
changes  will  be  in  the  composition 
of  construction  demand  rather  than 
in  its  total  size."  According  to 
Christie,  "These  changes  will  be 
moving  construction  markets  toward 
a  more  normal  balance  of  residen- 
tial and  nonresidential  shares,  and 
away  from  their  presently  distorted 
relationships." 

He  pointed  out  that  the  residen- 
tial portion  of  total  construction 
next  year  will  be  shrinking  from  the 
extraordinary  49  per  cent  share  it 
now  holds  to  a  more  normal  43 
per  cent.  Nonresidential  buildings, 
30  per  cent  of  the  mix  in  1972,  will 
increase  to  33  per  cent.  Nonbuilding 
construction,  now  only  21  per  ce*it 
of  the  total,  will  grow  to  24  per 
cent  in  1973. 


THE    CARPENTER 


KEY  AREAS  IN  THE  1973  CONSTRUCTION  MARKET 


COMMERCIAL  BUILDING.  A  surge  in  store/ 
shopping  centers  will  soon  take  up  wliere  the  office 
boom  left  off  in  the  1960's,  reflecting  a  normal  lag 
between  homebuilding  and  the  development  of  shop- 
ping centers.  Contracts  for  stores,  warehouses  and 
other  commercial  buildings  will  increase  another  12 
per  cent  to  a  total  of  $6.7  billion  in  1973. 

INDUSTRIAL  CONSTRUCTION.  A  very  large 
part  of  1972's  increase  in  capital  spending  lias  gone 
into  machinery  and  equipment,  with  only  a  sliglu 
advance  in  contracting  for  new  industrial  buildings. 
With  more  of  those  funds  being  channeled  into  struc- 
tures in  1973,  tliere  is  potential  for  a  gain  of  30  per 
cent  in  industrial  construction  next  year. 

INSTITUnONAL  BUILDING.  For  tlie  past  sev- 
eral years  school  construction  lias  been  slipping,  while 
hospitals  and  other  health  facilities  have  been  gaining. 
More  of  the  same  is  anticipated  for  1973,  with  Iios- 
pital  and  liealth  facilities  up  another  12  per  cent,  and 
educational  facilities  down  another  notch. 


HOUSING.  Tlie  housing  boom  of  1972  readied 
its  peak  before  the  year  was  over.  Contract  value  of 
residential  buildings  in  1973,  including  new  hotels, 
motels,  dormitories  and  other  non-fiousekeeping  resi- 
dential structures,  is  estimated  at  $38.7  billion.  This 
is  a  10  per  cent  decline  from  1972's  $43.1  billion 
peak,  which  is  likely  to  stand  as  the  record  for  several 
years  to  come. 

UTILITIES.  Construction  of  sewer  and  water  fa- 
cilities, whicli  depend  on  federal  funding,  totaled  $4.2 
billion  in  1972 — double  the  annual  total  of  only  five 
years  ago.  With  public  money  a  little  Iiarder  to  come 
by  in  1973,  contracts  for  sewer  and  water  facilities 
are  expected  to  advance  10  per  cent  to  $4.6  billion. 
A  better  balance  is  evolving  in  tlie  emotion-charged 
conflict  between  power  and  ecology  interests.  In 
1973,  a  total  of  $4.8  billion  in  contract  value  of  elec- 
tric, gas  and  communications  construction  is  expected, 
a  sharp  rebound  from  the  1972  depressed  level  but 
still  short  of  197 1's  record  high. 


THE  1973  REGIONAL  CONSTRUCTION  OUTLOOK 


In  1972,  the  center  of  gravity  of  the 
nation's  construction  market  shifted  fur- 
ther southward,  where  the  biggest  gains 
were  scored.  Construction  improved  in 
the  West  but  showed  a  slower-than- 
average  growth  in  the  Midwest  and 
Northeast.  The  pattern  is  expected  to 
be  maintained  in  1973.  The  forecast  for 
each  region: 


SOUTH— Most  of  the  1972  housing  surge 
centered  in  this  region.  The  southern 
housing  market  has  been  buoyed  up  by 
migration  that  shows  no  signs  of  letting 
up.  It  will  be  able  to  maintain  its  cur- 
rent share  of  housing  in  next  year's 
decHning  market — also  benefit  from 
growth  in  commercial/ industrial  build- 
ing. Over  all,  the  South  will  maintain  its 
current  one-third  of  total  national  con- 
struction, with  contracts  in  the  region 
totaling  $29.4  billion  in  1973,  the  same 
as  1972. 


NORTHEAST— Office  building  outlook 
is  anything  but  promising.  The  region 
will  be  hard  pressed  just  to  maintain  its 
current  level  of  office  contracting  through 
1973.  Total  construction  contracts,  at 
20.3  billion,  will  be  2%  below  1972. 


MIDWEST — Expanding  industrial  pro- 
duction plus  recovery  in  electric  gener- 
ating plant  construction,  will  have  extra 


benefits  for  the  Midwest  in  1973.  Con- 
struction will  total  $21.2  billion,  a  6% 
increase  over  1972.  Excess  manufactur- 
ing capacity  is  being  mopped  up  at  a 
good  rate,  as  the  expansion  of  industry 
production  hastened  the  shift  back  toward 
the  "plant"  component  of  plant  and 
equipment  spending.  The  region  will  be 
gaining  back  part  of  the  market,  share 
lost  during  recession  years. 


WEST — Improvement  in  the  aerospace 
market  expected  next  year  will  not  be 
strong  enough  to  keep  the  West  from 
slipping  1  or  2%  in  its  construction  mar- 
ket share.  Gains  in  nonresidential  build- 
ing will  be  more  than  offset  by  a  sharp 
drop  in  housing.  Of  all  the  regions,  the 
west  is  expected  to  record  the  biggest 
losses  in  next  year's  housing  decline. 
Christie  forecasts  total  construction  con- 
tracting at  $17.7  billion,  a  four  per  cent 
drop. 


DECEM  BER,    1972 


New^  small^  light-weight 
and  heavy. 

Heavy  on  performance. 


Tradesmen  like  you  told  us 
to  make  a  drill  like  this.  The 
Rockwell  Model  666  %"  drill  is 
small  and  compact  with  a  side 
handle  so  the  motor  is  on  top  for 
really  great  handling  ease.  Yet  this 
baby  has  plenty  of  power  (the 
motor  has  a  full  4.0  amps),  the 
finest  chuck  going  and  ball  and 
needle  bearings  for  dependable, 
heavy  duty  work. 

Loaded  with  features 

The  guys  we  talked  to  also 
told  us  to  build  all  these  features 
into  the  Model  666: 

Variable  speed — so  you  can 
drill  in  any  material  and  do  special 
jobs,  like  driving  screws. 

Reversing  action — so  you 
■  can  remove  screws  and  ease  out  of 
tough  drilling  jobs. 

Double  insulation — there's 
no  three  prong  plug  and  grounding 
to  bother  with.  Yet,  this  Rockwell  ' 


drill  operates  safer  anywhere  you 
need  to  drill. 

A  really  strong  housing — 
so  we  made  ours  out  of  super  tough 
glass  filled  Nylon. 

Priced  right  too 

The  Model  666  is  just  $79. 
And,  if  you  don't  need  that  much 
capacity,  there's  a  V4"  version. 
Model  664,  for  only  $70.

Charges  against  union  hard  hats  in  Reader's  Digest 
article  draws  further  ire  from  wives,  members,  and  locals 


■  "It's  easy  to  sit  in  an  aircon- 
ditioned  or  centrally-heated  office, 
making  twice  the  salary  of  a  con- 
struction worker,  and  say  that  these 
men  :do  not  deserve  their  pay,"  com- 
ments Mrs.  Marilyn  Sharp,  wife  of 
a  Hampstead,  Md.,  carpenter.  "One 
day  I  was  in  a  barber  shop  with  my 
son,  and,  as  I  waited  our  turn,  the 
conversation  got  around  to  con- 
struction workers  and  their  salaries. 
Most  of  those  present  thought  it 
was  disgraceful  that  hard  hats  earn 
so  much  money.  They  did  not  know 
that  I  was  a  hard  hat's  wife,  and 
when  I  casually  asked,  'Would  you 
do  their  work  for  $8.00  an  hour?' 
everyone  of  them  replied  with  an 
emphatic,  No!" 

Mrs.  H.  S.  Kosson  of  Bovey, 
Minn.,  wife  of  another  Carpenter, 
agrees.  Says  she:  "The  general 
public  only  looks  at  the  hourly  wage. 
There's  so  much  inclement  weather, 
when  work  is  impossible.  Most  car- 
penters are  not  guaranteed  a  40- 
hour  week. 

"We  have  yet  to  see  a  $12,000 


a  year  salary,  let  alone  $15,000," 
she  caustically  adds. 

The  comments  by  Mrs.  Sharp  and 
Mrs.  Kosson  are  only  two  of  several 
resulting  from  a  recent  article  pub- 
lished in  Reader's  Digest,  entitled, 
"The  Scandal  Behind  Soaring  Con- 
struction Costs."  The  article,  cred- 
ited to  Edward  M.  Young  of  Engi- 
neering News-Record,  blamed  con- 
struction unions  for  most  of  the 
increased  costs  of  construction. 

Still  the  repercussions  come  in. 
We  have  a  letter  from  Mrs.  Burton 
R.  Diemert  of  Seattle,  Wash.,  who 
suggests  that  Reader's  Digest  should 
publish  an  interview  with  a  construc- 
tion worker. 

"It  might  shed  some  light  on  what 
really  happens  .  .  .  not  the  way  the 
office  man  sees  it." 

General  President  William  Sidell 
has  received  a  letter  from  the  sec- 
retary-treasurer of  the  Lake  County 
District  Council  of  Carpenters 
(which  covers  parts  of  Indiana  and 
Michigan),  in  which  he  reports  a 
recent  council  action  asking  Read- 


er's Digest  for  a  retraction  or  rebut- 
tal. 

"In  the  past  contract  negotiations 
this  article  was  used  by  the  con- 
tractors against  the  Carpenters," 
reports  Secretary-Treasurer  James 
Donella.  "It  was  another  stumbling 
block  to  overcome." 

His  council  called  upon  all  mem- 
bers to  cancel  their  subscriptions  to 
the  magazine  and  urged  other  local 
unions  and  district  councils  to  take 
similar  action. 

Mrs.  Sharp,  a  newspaper  column- 
ist and  free  lance  writer,  whom  we 
quoted  at  the  beginning  of  this 
report,  prepared  an  article  to  refute 
some  of  the  charges  leveled  at  un- 
ion hard  hats.  Reader's  Digest 
turned  it  down  with  this  statement: 

"Be  assured  that  your  strong  de- 
fense of  tradesmen  has  had  a  mind- 
ful reading,  but  we  cannot  use  it 
in  the  magazine." 

Her  views  deserve  more  attention. 
We  publish  them,  in  part,  on  the 
following  page: 


DECEMBER,    1972 


A  One-Sided  View  of  Construction  Workers 

Continued  from  Page  9 

I  AM  THE  WIFE  OF  A  CONSTRUCTION  WORK- 

ER  and  feel  that  I  can  tell  it  like  it  is  for  the  hard  hat's 
family.  Sure  .  .  .  my  husband  is  one  of  those  men  who 
earn  $8.00  per  hour,  with  extra  pay — usually  50(*  per 
hour — for  more  dangerous  work,  such  as  work  at  extra- 
ordinary heights,  work  with  crescote-coated  materials 
that  cause  skin  burns,  or  work  with  any  other  dangers 
not  present  on  the  usual  job.  .  .  .  There  aren't  any 
"safe"  construction  jobs. 

My  husband  is  a  carpenter  and  welder  with  Local 
101  out  of  Baltimore,  Maryland. 

I  spend  my  days  cleaning  house,  taking  care  of  chil- 
dren, shopping,  just  as  any  other  housewife  does.  But 
always  in  the  back  of  my  mind  is  the  fear  that  this 
may  be  the  day  that  the  phone  rings  and  someone  says, 
"Come  to  the  hospital.  Your  husband  was  hurt  today." 

I  don't  even  let  myself  think  of  the  other  call  that 
might  come  .  .  .  that  came  to  my  mother  when  1  was 
just  16  years  old  and  my  brother  9,  that  said,  "Come 
to  the  morgue  and  identify  your  husband's  body.  He 
fell  80  feet  today  and  was  DOA  at  the  hospital." 

When  he's  doing  carpentry  work,  I  wonder  if  he'll 
fall.  When  he's  welding,  I  wonder  if  his  rubber  boots 
will  protect  him  from  the  electrical  charges  that  would 
fry  his  body,  if  he  didn't  ground  properly,  or  if  he  will 
fall  from  a  girder  as  he  drags  200  pounds  of  welding 
cables  behind  him,  welding  high  in  the  sky  and  wearing 
a  shield  that  prevents  him  from  seeing  anything  other 
than  that  blue  flame. 

When  we  met,  he  was  working  on  the  Patapsco  Tunnel 
that  would  give  water  to  Baltimore  City;  17  miles  of 
tunnel  with  the  slogan,  "A  man  a  mile."  They  lost  17 
men  before  it  was  finished.  One  man  had  nine  children. 
He  was  a  black  man.  well  liked  by  the  crew,  and,  when 
the  men  came  for  the  next  shift,  they  worked  in  mud 
spattered  with  blood.  Brutal  and  not  nice  to  think 
about?  Yes  .  .  .  but  it's  true,  and  it's  time  someone  told 
it  brutally  frank,  as  it  really  is. 

A  wage  of  $8.00  an  hour  sounds  great,  until  you  realize 
the  danger  these  men  confront  each  and  every  minute 
of  their  lives. 

Since  their  work  is  seasonal,  they  do  not  make  as  much 
per  year  as  it  seems:  take  off  time  missed  for  rain,  snow, 
icy  girders,  and  layoffs  between  jobs.  The  pay  goes  down 
sharply,  so  that  $9,000  per  year  is  what  the  man  actually 
brings  home,  if  he's  lucky.  There  are  years  when  he 
makes  more,  but  many  more  when  he  does  not. 

Pay  for  show  up  time?  Yes,  they  get  two  hours  pay 
when  they  show  up,  and  there  isn't  any  work  for  them 
due  to  job  conditions.  And  why  not?  They  do  not  receive 
sick  leave,  and.  even  though  they  get  vacation  pay,  they 
do  not  receive  time  off  for  a  vacation.  They  use  the  time 
between  jobs  for  a  vacation.  No  one  can  really  enjoy 
a  so-called  vacation  when,  in  reality,  he's  out  of  a  job 
and  wonders  if  he'll  get  another  soon  enough  to  keep 
his  home  and  car.  The  vacation  pay  that  these  men  re- 
ceive is  a  check  sent  to  them  once  a  year  for  a  certain 
percentage  of  their  pay  that  has  been  withheld  the  pre- 
vious year.  No  one  is  really  "giving"  them  vacation  pay. 
It  is  their  own  money  returned  to  them. 

Many  construction  workers  live  in  mobile  homes  or 
apartments.  Those  who  want  to  own  their  own  home 
must  commute  many  miles  to  the  job  site,  because  each 
job  is  in  a  different  location,  perhaps  five  miles  from 
home,  perhaps  80  miles  from  home.  Some  live  in  motels 
all  week,  or  the  backs  of  pick-up  campers  and   come 


home  on  weekends.  Their  children  see  them  two  days 
out  of  every  week.  Every  woman  wants  a  home  to  call 
her  own,  and  it  is  the  right  of  every  family  to  have  a 
place  with  roots. 

Job  expenses  are  high  in  other  areas  too:  special  shoes 
with  soles  that  do  not  slip  as  easily  on  girders  and  toes 
that  are  reinforced  with  metal  to  prevent  crushed  feet 
cost  $30.00  per  pair  and  last  two  or  three  months.  Warm 
outdoor  clothing  comes  high,  and  a  man  must  have  sev- 
eral changes  of  clothes.  Special  welding  gloves,  work 
uniforms  that  are  burned  full  of  welding  spark  holes 
within  two  weeks,  tools  for  his  carpenter's  jobs.  These 
must  all  be  paid  for  from  his  "fabulous"  salary. 

WORKING  CONDITIONS:  blazing  summer  sun  that 
shimmers  and  dances  off  hot  concrete  to  the  tune  of 
102  degrees  while  the  men  wear  heavy  protective  clothing 
and  hard  hats  that  drench  them  in  perspiration.  They 
wear  a  foam  rubber  sweatband  on  their  forehead  that 
they  wring  out  every  fifteen  minutes  to  keep  perspiration 
from  running  into  their  eyes  and  blinding  them.  In  winter 
they  work  cold,  bone  chilling,  numbing  cold  that  seeps 
into  a  man's  vitals  and  gives  him  arthritis  by  age  40. 
When  they  come  home  in  winter,  they  cannot  get  warm 
because  the  cold  has  entered  them  deeply,  and  they  hud- 
dle near  radiators,  or  wear  heavy  sweaters  and  cannot 
really  feel  warm  even  if  the  thermostat  is  turned  to  80 
degrees. 

RESTRICTED  WORK?  I've  wished  that  there  was 
a  restriction  on  the  amount  of  work  that  my  husband 
is  allowed  to  do  in  a  day's  time.  There  isn't.  There  is  only 
a  hard-ridden  crew  boss,  who  yells  his  voice  hoarse  all 
day  as  he  prods  the  men  to  greater  and  greater  effort, 
because  someone  is  prodding  him,  because  his  company 
has  promised  that  the  job  will  be  done  by  a  date,  and  it 
must  be  done  by  then  or  the  company  may  pay  a  pen- 
alty for  each  day  after  the  date  promised.  I've  talked  to 
hundreds  of  hard  hats  and  never  found  one  who  was 
restricted  in  the  amount  of  work  he  could  do,  from 
carpenter  work  to  bricklaying.  If  someone  will  tell  me 
where  these  jobs  are,  I'll  move  tomorrow  so  that  my 
husband  won't  fall  asleep  at  the  dinner  table  from  sheer 
exhaustion. 

THOSE  LONG  COFFEE  BREAKS  must  be  fun 
for  someone.  The  hardhats  that  I  know  haven't  had  any 
of  those  either  except  around  Christmas  time  when 
everyone  is  in  a  mellow  mood,  and  the  men  are  allowed 
to  drink  their  coffee  sitting  down  instead  of  standing  up. 
Pulled  tendons  and  hernia  are  common  among  construc- 
tion workers.  When  a  man  works  that  hard,  isn't  he 
entitled  to  a  little  longer  coffee  break,  if  he  can  get  it? 
I  worked  in  the  office  of  one  of  our  nation's  largest 
companies  and  saw  men  who  sit  at  desks  all  day  take 
half-hour  coffee  breaks,  and  they  didn't  even  need  them! 

When  the  construction  worker  is  off  with  a  job-related 
injury,  he's  lucky  if  he  doesn't  lose  everything  he's  worked 
for.  Job  related  injuries  are  common  in  work  that  is  so 
dangerous.  Whatever  he  manages  to  save  from  his  salary 
is  eaten  up  from  being  injured,  laid  off,  or  any  personal 
misfortune  he  may  undergo.  We  can't  spend  all  of  that 
lovely  money  every  week.  Summer  lasts  such  a  short 
time,  and  we  must  save  as  much  as  possible  to  meet  ex- 
penses over  the  winter,  when  we  may  get  weeks  of  no 
work  or  maybe  one  day  per  week.  By  spring  we're  pray- 
ing that  the  rainfall  will  be  slight  so  that  we  will  have 
a  full  pay  to  buy  shoes  for  the  kids  and  can  replace 
the  trousers  that  have  holes  in  the  knees.

THE    CARPENTER 


Carpenter  Presented 
Three  ILPA  Awards 

The  Carpenter,  your  official 
Brotherhood  magazine,  won  three 
commendations  from  the  judges  of 
the  1972  International  Labor  Press 
Association  Journalistic  Awards 
Contest. 

The  awards  list,  announced  Oc- 
tober 19,  gave  an  honorable-men- 
tion certificate  to  The  Carpenter  for 
"general  excellence"  among  publi- 
cations with  100,000  or  more  cir- 
culation. The  judges  called  The  Car- 
penter "clean  and  attractive  format, 
with  stories  going  well  beyond  the 
confines  of  the  trade  and  showing  a 
proper  appreciation  of  the  extent 
and  influence  of  the  labor  move- 
ment in  general  ...  a  professional 
looking  product." 

The  Brotherhood  journal  also  re- 
ceived separate  certificates  for  two 
feature  articles  published  in  recent 
months.  One  was  the  cover  story  of 
October,  1971,  entitled,  "Noah:  The 
World's  Most  Famous  Wooden  Ship 
Builder."  The  other  was  another 
cover  story  called  "Last  of  the 
Great  Whitewater  Sawlog  Drives." 
It  appeared  in  July,  1971. 

Judges  in  the  competition  com- 
mended union  pubhcations  generally 
for  coverage  of  the  "massive  and 
unexpected  upheavals  in  public  pol- 
icies related  directly  to  the  labor 
movement." 

Glen  Frail,  Former 
Auditor,  Passes  Away 

Glen  A.  Prall,  for  29  years  an  auditor 
for  the  United  Brotherhood  of  Carpenters 
and  Joiners  of  America,  passed  away  in 
Indianapolis,  Ind.,  October  18.   1972. 

Mr.  Prall  began  his  service  to  the 
Brotherhood  on  May  1,  1938,  and  worked 
continuously  until  his  retirement  on 
August  1.  1967. 

As  auditor,  Mr.  Prall  visited  many  lo- 
cal unions  and  district  councils.  Few  men 
knew  the  workings  of  the  organization 
better  than  he,  and  his  knowledge  helped 
many  subordinate  bodies  to  solve  the 
complex  problems  of  record  keeping. 

Mr.  Prall  was  a  warm  and  outgoing 
personality,  and  this  enabled  him  to  make 
a  host  of  friends  throughout  the  Brother- 
hood. 

Prior  to  going  to  work  for  our  organi- 
zation, he  was  employed  by  a  major  rail- 
road. He  is  survived  by  a  wife,  Marie, 
and   a  married  daughter.

ANADIAN 
'      r     REPORT 

Construction  Industry  Hurt  by  Federal 
Stop-And-Go  Policies,  Say  Building  Trades 


A  recent  report  to  the  Provincial 
Building  and  Construction  Trades 
Council  of  Ontario  dealt  with  impor- 
tant issues  which  are  of  concern 
throughout  Canada. 

The  key  issue  is  the  stop-and-go 
policies  of  the  federal  government 
which  uses  the  construction  industry 
as  an  economic  lever.  It  encourages 
construction  when  the  economy  is  on 
the  downturn,  thus  creating  jobs  in 
the  building  industry,  the  forest  in- 
dustries, the  furniture  and  home  fur- 
nishing industries  and  dozens  of 
others. 

On  the  other  hand,  it  depresses  con- 
struction when  the  economy  is  on  the 
upturn  to  the  point  where,  in  the 
government's  opinion,  inflation  is 
threatened  or  real.  This  cuts  down  on 
jobs  all  along  the  line. 

The  construction  industry  has  re- 
peatedly protested  this  policy  and  is 
now  joined  by  the  building  trades 
unions  which,  in  the  Ontario  Council 
report,  say  that  the  result  has  been 
"enormous  hills  and  valleys  in  con- 
struction activity,  with  resultant  short- 
ages and  surpluses  of  both  skilled  and 
semi-skilled  workers." 

Not  only  is  this  disruptive  of  the 
living  standards  of  the  building  trades 
members,  but  it  is  opening  the  door 
to  the  increasing  use  of  non-union 
labor. 

The  report  states  that  the  rates  of 
pay  in  construction  are  reasonably 
good,  but  the  instability  of  the  indus- 
try is  a  bugbear.  "A  fairly  large  hourly 
wage  rate  multiplied  by  zero  hours 
of  work  still  comes  out  to  a  big  fat 
nothing  in  the  pay  packet." 

The  Council's  report  called  for  a 
minimum  of  40  weeks'  work  a  year. 

Apart  from  federal  economic  pol- 
icies being  a  drag,  the  weather  in 
Canada    is    also     a     problem     even 


though  some  improvement  in  building 
procedures  has  been  made  in  recent 
years. 

The  report  urges  that  more  work 
be  scheduled  during  the  winter 
months.  Spending  money  to  provide 
heat  for  projects  would  pay  off  in 
savings  on  unemployment  insurance 
as  well  as  in  income  tax  collections 
from  higher  payrolls. 

Haythorne  Proposes 
Guaranteed  Work  Plan 

That  the  construction  industry  needs 
help  is  acknowledged  by  a  former 
deputy  minister  in  the  federal  labor 
department,  George  Haythorne,  who 
was  a  key  member  of  the  Prices  and 
Incomes  Commission. 

Haythorne  proposed  a  guaranteed 
employment    program    for    the    con- 


struction industry  which  would  be 
financed  by  an  industry-supported 
fund.  Permanent  employees  in  the  in- 
dustry would  draw  from  the  fund 
during  slack  periods. 

Such  a  plan,  he  said,  would  require 
agreement  from  both  industry  and 
unions  on  the  level  of  employment 
which  should  be  guaranteed.  Accord- 
ing to  the  Ontario  building  trades 
council  report,  the  unions  would  go 
for  a  guaranteed  40  weeks"  work. 

Haythorne  sees  this  proposal  as  a 
Step  toward  stability  in  the  industry. 

However  he  is  not  very  optimistic 
about  the  chances  of  the  federal  and 
other  governments  changing  their  pol- 
icies until  they  realize  more  than  they 
do  now  that  these  policies  have  re- 
sulted in  serious  economic  and  social 
consequences,  with  "potential  explo- 
sive political  effects." 

CMHC  Needs  Shift 
To  Low-Cost  Housing 

Central  Mortgage  and  Housing  Cor- 
poration is  the  federal  government's 
agency  for  carrying  out  its  housing 
policies. 

In  the  past  the  agency  has  been 
criticized  for  paying  too  much  atten- 
tion to  housing  the  better-off,  and  not 
enough  to  housing  for  working  peo- 
ple and  the  lower  income  groups. 

CMHC  policies  have  changed  some- 
what in  the  last  year  or  two.  Low- 
cost  housing  has  been  getting  more 
priority.    But    the    agency    has    done 


New  Canadian  Labor  Congress  Headquarters 


Work  has  begun  on  a  new  Canadian  Labor  Congress  headquarters  building  in 
Ottawa.  Scheduled  for  completion  early  next  year,  the  brick  and  glass  structure 
will  be  four  stories  high  and  will  occupy  a  site  near  the  Confederation  Heights 
section  of  the  Canadian  capital,  overlooking  Mooney's  Bay  park.  The  present 
Congress  building  at  100  Argyle  Ave.  has  been  sold  to  an  Ottawa  realty  company 
with  occupancy  deferred  until  next  year.

relatively  little  in  two  main  areas: 
lowering  land  costs  and  interest  rates. 

As  a  matter  of  fact,  it  may  have 
been  a  factor  in  keeping  interest  rates 
lip. 

CMHC  is  one  of  the  biggest  corpo- 
rations in  Canada  and  a  good  money- 
maker. 

In  fact  if  it  paid  less  attention  to 
making  money  and  more  attention  to 
lowering  interest  rates,  it  would  have 
been  a  much  more  effective  agency 
than  it  has  been. 

In  1971  the  agency  turned  over 
$17,617,000  to  the  federal  treasury 
in  profits  and  taxes.  In  1970  it  turned 
over  $21  million. 

What  CMHC  should  have  done,  say 
union  sources,  is  to  use  its  profits  to 
reduce  interest  payments  on  the 
money  it  lends  for  housing. 

If  it  had  done  this,  it  could  have 
saved  borrowers  as  much  as  three 
percent  on  annual  interest  charges. 

In  effect  this  would  have  meant  a 
saving  of  about  $425  a  year  to  hold- 
ers of  National  Housing  Act  mort- 
gages. 

On  top  of  its  profits,  CMHC  has  a 
reserve  fund  of  over  $321,000,000. 

Both  unions  and  industry  believe 
that  CMHC  should  be  a  non-profit 
organization  dedicated  to  the  produc- 
tion of  enough  homes  for  Canadians 
at  prices  and  rentals  they  can  afford 
to  pay. 

Federally-Acquired 
Land  Banks  Proposed 

A  major  real  estate  developer  says 
that  the  federal  government  could 
help  solve  the  housing  problem  by 
buyine  up  land  and  subsidizing  inter- 
est rates.  Elliot  Yarmon  of  Van- 
couver says  eovernment  intervention 
is  needed  in  both  these  areas. 

He  said  that  buying  land  would 
have  to  be  supplemented  with  a  com- 
mitment to  service  the  land. 

Not  manv  big  developers  will  pub- 
licly advocate  that  the  government 
should  build  up  land  banks  for  hous- 
ing and  rent  the  land,  not  sell  it,  to 
homebuyers. 

NDP  Now  Party 
in  Political  Middle 

The  federal  election  in  Canada  Oc- 
tober 30  resulted  in  a  stalemate. 

Both   the   Liberal    government  and 

the  Conservative  opposition  won  109 

seats  each  and  are  sitting  at  each  end 
of   a   teeter-totter. 


David  Lewis,  leading  the  New 
Democratic  Party,  which  won  30 
seats  for  a  gain  of  eight  seats  over 
the  1968  election,  is  the  man  in  the 
middle. 

He  ran  a  very  well-thought-out,  ag- 
gressive campaign.  His  attack  on 
"corporate  welfare  bums,"  the  big 
corporations  which  are  continually 
getting  tax  concessions  and  financial 
grants,  gave  him  front-page  headlines 
right  across  Canada. 

But  when  the  votes  were  counted, 
it  was  the  Conservatives  who  made 
the  biggest  gains,  winning  for  example 
every  seat  of  1 9  in  Alberta,  and  cut- 
ting down  the  Liberals  from  155  seats 
to  a  minority  government. 

How  long  Prime  Minister  Trudeau 
will  be  able  to  hold  on  to  power  with 
just  109  seats  out  of  264  remains  to 
be  seen. 

NDP  Leader  Lewis  said  he  will 
support  any  government  which  deals 
effectively  with  unemployment,  in- 
creasing prices  and  taxation. 

Canada  should  know  by  year's  end 
if  the  Trudeau  administration  will 
mend  its  ways.  The  votes  showed  that 
a  majority  of  Canadians  are  browned 
off  with  economic  and  social  policies 
which  allowed  both  prices  and  unem- 
ployment to  increase  and  both  poor 
and  old  to  suffer. 

British  Columbia  gave  the  NDP  11 
seats  out  of  23,  more  than  any  other 
party. 

BC-Yukon  Leader 
Hits  Overtime  'Plague' 

Overtime  work  should  be  elimi- 
nated, according  to  the  president  of 
the  British  Columbia  and  Yukon 
Building  Trades  Council.  He  called 
overtime  work  '"a  plague  in  industry" 
and  said  that  in  the  next  round  of 
bargaining,  the  unions  will  go  for  a 
guaranteed  income  and  work  week. 

Strikesbreakers 
Lengthen  Strikes 

The  use  of  professional  strikebreak- 
ers increases  the  length  of  strikes,  the 
16th  annual  convention  of  the  On- 
tario Federation  of  Labor  was  in- 
formed. The  OFL  prepared  a  book- 
length  report  on  strikebreaking  activ- 
ities. 

Part    of    the    study    showed    that, 

where  strikebreakers  were  used,  strikes 

lasted  an  average  of  50  days.  Where

The  OFL  proposed  a  minimum

NDP  Actions  in  BC 
Are  Good  for  Labor 

The  people  of  British  Columbia 
made  no  mistake  in  electing  an  NDP 
government  in  August,  headed  by 
Premier  David  Barrett,  a  former  social 
worker. 

At  a  special  session  of  the  B.C. 
Legislature,  this  government  did  three 
things  it  had  promised  to  do  and 
which  helped  it  get  elected:  first,  it 
amended  the  labor  legislation  which 
eliminated  the  Mediation  Commission 
against  which  the  trade  union  move- 
ment had  been  fighting;  second,  it 
increased  the  minimum  wage  to  52.00 
an  hour  and  will  step  it  up  to  $2.25, 
then  to  $2.50  within  two  years;  third, 
it  guaranteed  old  age  pensioners  a 
monthly  income  of  $200  (which  would 
mean  as  much  as  $400  a  couple). 

The  amendment  to  the  labor  legis- 
lation also  did  away  with  the  com- 
pulsory arbitration  feature  of  the  act. 

Mortgage  Interest 
Rates  Still  Too  High 

Interest  rates  on  prime  first  mort- 
gages on  homes  with  the  money  guar- 
anteed by  the  federal  government's 
housing  agency  are  too  high. 

A  prominent  real  estate  broker  says 
that  the  agency,  CMHC,  is  to  blame 
for  the  continuing  high  rates. 

Brian  Magee,  speaking  to  a  real 
estate  convention  in  Vancouver,  said 
that  the  agency  borrows  money  from 
the  government  at  7  per  cent  or  less 
and  then  lends  it  out  to  homebuyers  at 
9  to  91 2  per  cent. 

This  is  holding  up  interest  rates, 
he  charged.  A  gross  profit  of  over  2 
per  cent  a  year,  year  after  year  is,  he 
believes,  unfair  for  a  government 
which  purports  to  be  concerned  with 
the  plight  of  low  income  families. 

The  government  has  lowered  down 
payments  and  lengthened  the  term  of 
mortgages  to  35  and  40  years,  but  it 
would  be  better  just  to  lower  interest 
rates.

The  new  Seabee  Memorial  to  be  dedicated  next  spring  at  its  Washington,  D.  C,  site. 

Seabee  Memorial  to  be  Erected; 
Scholarship  Program  Underway 


Through  the  efforts  of  the  nation's 
building  trades  unions,  construction 
firms,  and  the  military  sector,  a  Sea- 
bee Memorial  Association's  monu- 
ment commemorating  the  loyalty, 
sacrifice,  and  humanitarian  spirit  of 
the  Naval  Construction  Force  will 
soon  become  a  reality. 

A  graphic  representation  depict- 
ing all  facets  of  the  construction  in- 
dustry has  been  created  by  the  man 
who  designed  the  Iwo  Jima  Memo- 
rial to  the  Marine  Corps,  Felix  de 
Weldon.  It  is  expected  that  the  mon- 
ument will  be  dedicated  in  the  Wash- 
ington area  about  March,  1973.  The 
President  of  the  United  States  re- 
cently signed  a  bill  for  the  use  of 
public  lands  for  the  voluntarily-fi- 
nanced memorial. 

The  huge  monument  is  only  a 
small  part  of  the  tribute  planned  for 
the  men  who  exemplified  the  "We 
Build/We  Fight"  spirit  since  the 
early  days  of  World  War  II.  Funds 
received  from  unions  and  businesses 
will  help  build  the  monument  and 
are  also  being  channeled  into  the 
perpetual  "Seabee  Memorial  Schol- 
arship Fund,"  which  seeks  to  aid 
present  and  future  generations  of 
Seabees,  active  and  reserve,  and 
their  children,  and  the  children  of 
people  who  have  served  on  active 
duty  with  the  Seabees  in  the  past, 
through  direct  grants  for  higher  ed- 
ucational purposes.  This  college 
year,  six  scholarships  have  been 
awarded,  and  by  the  next  college 


term  that  number  is  expected  to 
increase  significantly. 

Unions,  businesses,  and  individ- 
uals who  contribute  sufficient  funds 
for  an  invested  scholarship  will  have 
that  scholarship  named  after  them. 
The  total  contribution  required  for 
this  honor  has  been  established  at 
$20,000.  In  other  words,  any  local 
union  that  donates  $20,000  will 
have  a  scholarship  named  as  it  may 
designate.  In  addition,  all  contribu- 
tions by  all  local  unions  in  an  in- 
ternational union  will  be  added  to- 
gether; and  if  $20,000  is  totaled, 
then  a  scholarship  will  be  named  as 
the  International  Union  may  desig- 
nate. 

The  1972  scholarship  total  of  $4,- 
200  went  to  six  recipients  who  are 
eligible  for  continued  support  for 
the  next  four  years.  The  first  grant, 
named  after  Admiral  Ben  Moreell, 
the  "Father  of  the  Seabees,"  totals 
$1,000  and  went  to  Thomas  R. 
Richards,  Jr..  of  Kennesaw,  Geor- 
gia. Richards  will  attend  the  Uni- 
versity of  South  Carolina. 

The  other  $  1 .000  award  was  giv- 
en to  Miss  Scharleen  Phelps  of 
Broderick,  California.  Termed  the 
RMK-BRJ  Memorial  award  in  the 
name  of  Bert  Perkins,  the  grant  will 
enable  Miss  Phelps  to  attend  the 
University  of  California  at  Davis.

■    The  Farah  Manufacturing  Company  is  one 
of  the  largest  pants  manufacturers  in  the  United 
States,  with  wide  distribution  to  department 
stores  and  men's  specialty  stores  throughout 
the  country. 

The  Farah  Manufacturing  Company  operates 
9  plants  in  Texas  and  New  Mexico;  El  Paso, 
4  plants;  San  Antonio,  2;  Victoria,  1,  and  in 
New  Mexico:  Albuquerque,  1;  and  Las  Cruces, 
1.  They  employ  about  10,000  workers,  a  large 
majority  of  whom  are  Mexican-Americans 
living  in  or  near  the  cities  where  they  work. 

The  strike  started  on  May  3rd  when  workers 
in  the  San  Antonio  plant  left  their  jobs  in 
protest  of  the  company's  unfair  labor  practices, 
which  included  the  firing  of  several  workers  who 
had  engaged  in  legal  union  activities. 

The  strike  protesting  these  and  other 
unfair  labor  practices  rapidly  spread  to 
other  Farah  plants.  Nearly  3,000 
workers  are  on  strike  and  the  strike  is 
continuing  to  gain  momentum. 


The  Farah  Company  has  attempted  to 
replace  the  strikers  with  workers  from  Mexico; 
the  United  States  Department  of  Labor  has 
certified  the  strike  which  now  prohibits  the 
company  from  importing  strike  breakers. 

Despite  peaceful  and  orderly  picket- 
ing, the  company  has  obtained  a 
temporary  restraining  order  of  the 
most  stringent  nature.  One  of  the 
provisions  of  the  restraining  order  was 
that  picketers  must  remain  50  feet 
apart  at  all  times,  which  makes  it  almost 
impossible  to  maintain  a  normal  picket 
line. 

In  addition,  nearly  700  of  the  strikers  have 
been  arrested  despite  the  fact  that  there  has 
been  no  violence  or  unlawful  activity.   Many 
of  the  strikers  were  arrested  at  their  homes  in 
th  middle  of  the  night  and  held  in  the  exorbitant 
bail  of  $400  a  person.  The  usual  bail  for  local 
citizens  charged  with  similar  trivial  mis- 
demeanors in  this  area  has  been  $25. 

In  addition  to  numerous  unlawful 
discharges  because  of  union  activity 
on  the  Amalgamated  Clothing  Workers' 
behalf,  and  other  actions  of  intimidation, 
coercion,  and  restraint  against  the 
workers,  the  company  has  also  utilized 
guards  patrolling  with  vicious  police 
dogs  in  an  effort  to  further  intimidate 
the  strikers. 

The  Mexican-Americans  employed  in  the 
Farah  plants  are  being  exploited  in  the  worst 
possible  way  by  the  company.  The  company's 
interference  with  the  workers'  efforts  to  establish 
a  union  is  a  deliberate  step  to  prevent  these 
Mexican-Americans  from  achieving  a  better  way 
of  life  .  .  .  with  dignity  and  security. 

...Until  the  Company 
Discontinues  Its 
Unfair  Practices  and 
The  Strike  Is  Settled

Christmas   Pun   Fun 

A  Communis+  named  Rudolph  was 
arguing  with  his  wife  about  whether 
the  precipitation  was  rain  or  sleet. 
He  held  it  to  be  rain,  while  she  in- 
sisted it  sounded  like  sleet.  Finally  he 
clinched  the  argument:  "Rudolph  The 
Red  knows  rain,  dear!"

The  little  girl  was  taken  to  the 
department  store  for  the  first  time

most  was  the  escalator.  She  asked: 
"Mommy,  what  happens  when  the

collapsed  in  a  pile  of  splinters.  With- 
out losing  his  sense  of  humor,  he

Hairy  Octopus  Joke 

A  sideshow  operator  acquired  an 
octopus  that  could  play  both  the 
piano  and  the  piccolo.  But  he  wanted 
him  to  be  even  more  talented  and  left 
a  bagpipe  in  the  octopus'  tank.  When 
the  animal  didn't  respond,  the  train- 
er said,  "Haven't  you  learned  to  play 
that  thing  yet?' 

"Play  it?"  asked  the  puzzled  octo- 
pus. "I  was  going  to  ask  you  if  we

Safety  Lesson 

Many  carpenters  suffer  injuries 
when  driving  nails.  They  miss  and  hit 
their  thumbs.  These  on-the-job  in- 
juries cost  much  in  time  and  suffering. 
There  is  a  simple  method  of  avoiding 
such  injuries:  let  your  wife  hold  the 
nail. — Howard  Bennett,  Local  1275, 
Clearwater,    Fla.

A  Taxing  Situation  Everywhere 

An  American  visiting  in  Norway 
was  reminded  by  his  host  that  the 
Norwegian  flag  contained  the  same 
colors  as  the  American  flag.  "And  I 
think  of  the  colors  at  tax-time,"  said 
the  Norwegian.  "I  see  red  when  I 
get  the  bill,  the  amount  makes  me 
turn  white  in  the  face  and  I  feel  blue 
when  I  make  out  my  check." 

"I  feel  the  same,"  replied  the 
American,  "but  in  addition,  I  see 
stars!" — Ludvig  Knutsen,  Woodside, 
N.Y.

Just   Horsing   Around? 

The  wife  told  her  husband  that  she 
had  a  terrible  dream  in  which  she  was 
chased  by  a  stallion  breathing  fire 
from  his  nostrils. 

"That  was  no  stallion,"  niftled  back 
the  husband.  "That  was  a  nightmare!"

The  centenarian  told  the  Interview-

old  age  to  eating  only  red  meat,  no 
drinking,  no  smoking,  regular  exer- 
cise and  eight  hours'  sleep  every 
night. 

"But  I  had  an  uncle  who  followed 
the  same  system  and  he  died  at  82. 
How  do  you  account  for  that?"  asked 
the  newsman. 

"All  I  can  say,"  replied  the  old- 
ster, "is  that  he  didn't  keep  it  up 
long  enough!"

CLIC  Supported  Many  Winning  Candidates; 
Your  72  Contribution  Was  Good  Investment 


Almost  all  the  results  are  now  in 
and  we  are  happy  to  report  that 
CLIC  had  a  very  successful  day  on 
Election  Day.  1972.  Of  the  160  can- 
didates for  the  U.S.  Senate  and 
House  of  Representatives  to  whom 
CLIC  gave  financial  support,  134 
won  and  26  lost  (for  a  success  rate 
of  84%). 

Most  of  the  134  winning  candi- 


dates we  supported  arc  proven  vet- 
erans. Others  are  outstanding  new- 
comers. All  are  able,  dedicated  men 
and  women  who  will  fight  for  pro- 
gressive legislation  and  the  rights  of 
working  people. 

The  new  93rd  Congress  will  have 
roughly  the  same  progressive-lean- 
ing cast  as  the  old  Congress.  The 
election  was  a  dramatic  setback  for 


those  who  hoped  for  a  major  shift 
toward  the  reactionary,  anti-labor 
end  of  the  political  spectrum. 

A  large  share  of  the  credit  for  this 
election  victory  goes  to  the  thou- 
sands of  Brotherhood  members  who 
contributed  to  CLIC.  Through  Oc- 
tober 31,  CLIC  raised  more  than 
$100,000  in  voluntary  contributions 
in  1972.  With  the  help  of  a  balance 
on  hand  we  were  able  to  contribute 
more  than  $130,000  to  the  cam- 
paigns of  deserving  candidates. 

Our  sincerest  thanks  go  to  those 
who  have  helped  make  our  1972 
CLIC  effort  successful.  We  are  plan- 
ning for  an  even  more  vigorous 
CLIC  program  in  the  future.  If  you 
contributed  to  CLIC  in  1972  you 
can  be  satisfied  that  you  made  a 
wise  investment  in  your  own  future 
and  in  the  future  of  your  family  and 
your  country.

.  .  .  those  members  of  our  Brotherhood  who,  in  recent  weeks,  have  been  named 
or  elected  to  public  offices,  have  won  awards,  or  who  have,  in  other  ways,  "stood

plorer athletic  teams  competing  at  Fort 
Collins. 

The  young  men  are  active  in  Explorer 
Post  604,  Oklahoma  City,  Okla.,  which 
is  sponsored  by  a  local  firm,  Underwater 
Sports,  Inc.  Theirs  is  a  scuba-diving  post 
with  84  members.  Post  604  was  first  in 
an  annual  statewide  Junior  Olympics, 
and  25  members  of  the  post  were  thus 
qualified  to  compete  in  the  National 
Explorers  Olympics.  The  post  placed 
third  in  Colorado  and  joined  posts  from 


Portland,  Ore.,  and  Temple  City,  Calif., 
in  the  winning  trip  to  Germany. 

They  flew  over  in  the  same  planes  as 
the  US  Olympic  team  and  enjoyed  the 
thrill  of  watching  the  international  com- 
petition. 

The  young  men  were  guests  of  the 
German  Olympic  Committee,  lived  in  a 
Youth  Village,  and  did  much  sightseeing 
as  part  of  the  winning  trip.

Plan  For  a  Floating  City 
In  Hawaii  Nears  Reality 

Cities  afloat  on  the  sea,  considered  one  answer  to 
the  nation's  overcrowding,  may  be  closer  at  hand  than 
you  realize. 

A  phm  is  in  the  works  to  build  a  floating  city,  an 
"Atlantis  of  the  Pacific,"  which  would  rise  from  the 
ocean  three  miles  out  of  Honolulu. 

In  this  floating  city  men  and  women  would  live, 
work  and  play  in  a  self-contained  community. 

It  all  started  last  fall  when  the  Department  of  Com- 
merce's National  Oceanic  and  Atmospheric  Adminis- 
tration approved  an  $85,000  Sea  Grant  for  an  engi- 
neering feasibility  study  of  floating  community  design 
concepts. 

So  a  123rd  Hawaiian  Island  begins  to  take  shape — 
in  men's  minds,  on  the  drawing  board,  in  the  model 
tank — and  suddenly  it  doesn't  seem  a  fantastic  notion 
envisioned  by  science  fictionists. 

The  man  behind  this  project  is  John  P.  Craven, 
dean  of  marine  programs  at  the  University  of  Hawaii 
and  marine  coordinator  for  Governor  John  A.  Burns. 
He  has  been  asked  to  come  up  with  plans  for  an  inter- 
national exposition  that  will  span  two  celebrations — 
the  1976  bicentennial  of  the  nation's  founding  and  the 
1978  bicentennial  of  the  Hawaiian  Islands,  discovered 
by  Captain  James  Cook. 

Dr.  Craven  believes  the  exposition  could  be  set  up 
on  a  huge  floating  platform.  It  would  be  a  self-con- 
tained city  at  sea  linked  to  the  mainland  by  highspeed 
hydrofoils,  container  barges  and  other  water  transport. 
The  city  would  also  have  a  heliport  to  provide  helicop- 
ter service  back  and  forth. 

There  is  endless  speculation  as  to  how  such  floating 
platforms  can  be  utilized  in  community  planning.

New  Generation  of  Atomic  Reactors  Employ  Journeymen  of  Several  Locals 


After  a  slow  start,  atomic  power 
is  winning  the  race  to  solve  the  na- 
tion's growing  energy  crisis. 

In  1954,  privately  operated  power 
plants  using  nuclear  energy  were 
merely  bright  dreams  on  paper.  Now 
30  commercial  nuclear  plants  are 
operable  in  the  United  States,  5 1  are 
under  construction,  and  another  72 
are  on  order. 

Union  carpenters  from  several 
local  unions  are  employed  at  the 
construction  sites. 

When  all  the  new  plants  are  com- 
pleted, they  will  add  more  than  30 
percent  to  the  Nation's  370-million- 
kilowatt  total  capacity,  the  National 
Geographic  Society  says. 

A  growing  shortage  of  inexpen- 
sive uranium  fuel  threatened  to 
dampen  enthusiasm  for  atomic  pow- 
er, but  a  major  new  development 
promises  to  make  nuclear  plants  a 
prime  source  of  energy  in  the  next 
century. 


The  Atomic  Energy  Commission 
and  the  power  industry  are  moving 
rapidly  to  develop  new,  fast  breeder 
reactors  for  commercial  use  in  the 
1980's.  The  fast  breeder  creates 
more  fuel  than  it  consumes  and  sug- 
gests the  ancient  alchemists'  dream, 
because  it  changes  one  element  into 
another. 

In  a  fast  breeder,  pins  holding 
uranium  238  are  placed  in  a  blanket 
around  the  reactor's  core. 

As  the  atoms  split  in  the  core, 
they  give  off  heavy  nuclear  particles 
called  neutrons,  which  bombard  the 
uranium  in  the  core  and  in  the  blan- 
ket. Some  of  these  atoms  absorb 
neutrons  and  are  converted  to  plu- 
tonium  239,  which  will  fission. 

The  mixture  of  uranium  and  plu- 
ttonium  can  be  used  as  a  nuclear 
fuel.  After  its  energy  is  depleted,  it 
can  be  reprocessed  and  returned  to 
the  breeder,  and  still  more  fission- 
able fuel  will  be  produced. 


The  process  can  be  repeated  until 
up  to  40  times  as  much  energy  has 
been  extracted  from  the  raw  ma- 
terial as  can  be  produced  in  a  pres- 
ent reactor. 

The  breeder  will  offer  other  ad- 
vantages. It  is  more  efficient  than 
the  conventional  reactor,  because  it 
converts  more  nuclear  heat  into  elec- 
tricity, resulting  in  less  heat  loss  and 
radioactive  waste.  The  breeder  also 
operates  at  much  lower  pressure,  re- 
ducing the  chance  of  leakage  of  ra- 
dioactive gases. 

Commonwealth  Edison  of  Chi- 
cago, the  Tennessee  Valley  Author- 
ity, and  a  major  reactor  manufac- 
turer hope  to  complete  the  first  dem- 
onstration breeder  plant  near  Oak 
Ridge,  Tennessee,  by  1980.  If  it  is 
successful,  commercial  power  from 
breeders  could  be  lighting  lamps  as 
early  as  1985. 

The  breeder  theory  was  tested  on

Local  Unions  Warned 
Of  Non-Union  Bibles 

Many  local  unions  make  it  a  practice 
to  present  memorial  Bibles  to  the  wid- 
ows and  widowers  of  union  members  or 
to  present  Bibles  to  retired  members. 

We  have  received  a  memoraiidimi 
from  Edward  P.  Murphy,  secretary- 
treasurer  of  the  AFL-CIO  Union  Label 
and  Service  Trades  Department,  advis- 
ing that  several  firms  are  promoting  the 
sale  of  non-union  Bibles  directly  to  lo- 
cal unions  and  that  purchasers  of  Bibles 
should  look  for  a  bona  fide  AFL-CIO 
printing  trades  label. 

Murphy  states  that  the  latest  compa- 
ny to  enter  the  field  is  Heirloom  Bible 
Co.  of  Wichita,   Kansas. 

"To  the  best  of  our  knowledge,  this 
firm,  per  se,  is  completely  non-imion  and 
has  no  contract  with  any  AFL-CIO 
labor  organization,"  Murphy  reports. 
"The   Bibles   they   sell   do  not   bear  any 


bona  fide  label  of  any  AFL-CIO  orga- 
nii^ation.  One  particular  Bible  being  of- 
fered is  utilizing  an  invalidated  union 
label  of  an  AFL-CIO  union.  Another 
edition  is  allegedly  printed  at  the  no- 
toriously anti-union  Donnelley  Printing 
Company.  The  prt)motional  literature 
bears   no   union   label." 

NEW  GENERATION 

Continued  from  Page  29 

December  20,  1951.  In  a  lonely 
laboratory  on  a  windswept  lava  plain 
near  Arco,  Idaho,  electricity  from  a 
fast  reactor  with  a  core  not  much 
larger  than  a  two-pound  coffee  can 
lighted  four  200-watt  bulbs. 

It  was  the  world's  first  nuclear 
reactor  to  generate  electric  power 
and  the  first  breeder.  Within  two 
years,  it  had  proved  that  it  could 
produce  more  fuel  than  it  consumed.

These  men  are  craftsmen  who  spend  years  learning 
their  job  and  work  for  much  less  while  learning.  They 
have  to  learn  their  job  well  because  slipshod  methods 
just  won't  do  when  the  lives  of  other  people  hang  on 
the  job  they're  doing.  When  they  build  a  dock  for 
ships,  it  must  be  strong  and  able  to  take  daily  pounding 
of  water,  ships  accidentally  hitting  it,  huge  cargo  loads 
being  unloaded  on  it.  Public  buildings  must  withstand 
wind,  water,  people.  Whatever  they  build  is  built  for 
the  use  of  people  and  must  be  the  best  possible.  It 
makes  sense  to  pay  these  men  for  a  good  job. 

They  are  the  best  in  their  fields:  a  half  baked  welder 
can  get  a  job  where  his  welding  is  not  subject  to  too  much 
strain,  but  the  men  who  weld  in  construction  jobs  pass 
rigid  tests  given  by  the  city  or  state  they  work  in,  as 
well  as  the  company  that  they  work  for.  Many  people 
can  pick  up  a  welder  and  throw  a  weld  on  metal.  How 
many  can  stand  on  a  moving  pontoon,  fashioned  of 
styrofoam,  floating  in  the  Chesapeake  Bay  and  weld  so 
that  the  weld  is  strong,  passes  inspection  and  looks  good? 

Hospitalization  and  health  and  welfare  plans  depend 
on  the  days  a  man  works  in  a  given  period:  when  a  man 
is  off  too  long  his  health  and  welfare  run  out  and  he  is 
without  protection  for  himself  and  his  family  in  case  of 
sickness,  a  hospital  emergency  or  maternity  for  his  wife. 
Some  take  out  plans  over  and  above  the  one  that  the  union 
offers.  This  means  an  added  expense  for  the  hard  hat. 

When  a  construction  worker's  wife  grocery  shops  she 
cannot  buy  some  of  the  money-saving  items  that  the  office 
worker's  wife  buys  .  .  .  her  man  is  big,  though  Tve  never 
seen  a  fat  construction  man,  and  he  has  a  big  appetite, 
because  he  works  so  hard.  Most  hard  hats  eat  a  breakfast 
that  is  more  than  the  office  man  eats  for  dinner.  He  must 
cat  to  strengthen  himself  against  the  elements  and  the 
back  breaking  work  he  faces  each  day.  His  lunch  is  gar- 
gantuan, and  dinner  is  not  spaghetti  and  meatballs  or  soup 
and  salad.  Those  are  just  side  dishes  to  the  hard  hat.  He's 
a  meat  and  potatoes  man  and  wants  plenty  of  it.  Be- 
cause they  use  up  so  much  energy  they  arc  constantly  in 
search  of  something  sweet  to  eat.  The  hard  hat's  wife 
spends  much  more  at  the  grocery  store  than  most  other 
wives. 

There's  more:  I've  skimmed  the  surface  of  life  as  a 
construction  wife  but  this  is  enough  to  convey  the  idea 
that  $8.00  per  hour  isn't  all  gravy.  And  those  extra  men 
that  are  on  the  job  "doing  nothing"  are  usually  there  for 
the  sake  of  safety.  I  thank  God  and  the  construction  com- 
panies that  they  have  these  men  employed  to  give  my 
husband  a  little  better  chance  of  reaching  retirement 
age  in  one  piece  ...  or  simply  a  chance  to  reach  it  at  all. 

Next  time  you  read  of  the  hard  hat's  wonderful  salary 
and  fcatherbedding,  look  up  a  few  of  these  men  and  their 
families  and  let  them  tell  you  how  it  is.  It  isn't  all  beer  and 
skittles.  ■

Contest  Director 
Leo  Gable  Dies 

Journeymen  and  apprentices  through- 
out North  America  knew  him  as  the  man 
who  headed  up  one  of  the  finest  appren- 
ticeship contests  in  the  country:  as  In- 
ternational Carpenters  Apprenticeship 
Director  Leo  Gable. 

He  was  also  coordinator  for  the  Broth- 
erhood's apprenticeship  and  training  pro- 
grams, and.  until  March,  1972.  he  was 
Technical  Director  of  the  Brotherhood. 

A  man  with  intense  interest  in  his  work, 
Leo  Gable  was  a  moving  force  in  the 
1972  International  Apprenticeship  Con- 
test in  Las  Vegas.  Nev.,  last  August. 

He  died  November  3.  at  the  age  of  67. 

A  member  of  Local  710.  Long  Beach, 
Calif..  Gable  was  initiated  into  the  Broth- 
erhiHid  on  February  26,   1937. 

In  1948  Gable  became  a  member  of  a 
five-man  National  Committee  on  Ap- 
prenticeship appointed  by  the  General 
['resident.  From  this  committee  developed 
the  11-ManuaI  System  of  Instruction  for 
Apprentices  which  is  still  in  use.  Gable 
was  instrumental  in  writing  most  of  the 
material  for  these  manuals.  He  worked  in 
this  capacity  through  the  50's  and  60's. 
The  program,  w  hich  had  operated  strong- 
ly in  the  West,  gradually  spread  eastward. 

In  1966  the  30th  General  Convention 
passed  a  resolution  which  created  the 
Apprenticeship  and  Training  Department 
at  the  General  Office,  under  the  direction 
of  the  First  General  Vice  President.  Leo 
Gable  was  appointed  as  coordinator  of 
the  program  and  later  was  made  Techni- 
cal Director  of  the  Apprenticeship  and 
Training  Department,  which  was  set  up 
at  Headquarters  in  March.  1967. 

Gable  was  instrumental  in  negotiating 
contracts  between  the  United  Brotherhood 
and  government  Agencies  for  training 
potential  apprentices  in  the  field  of  car- 
pentry and  the  Transition  Program  which 
is  offered  to  .servicemen,  who  are  nearing 
their  discharge  date  and  wish  to  enter  the 
field   of  carpentry. 

He  was  working  in  the  capacity  of  Ap- 
prenticeship and  Training  Programs  Co- 
ordinator at  the  time  of  his  death,  having 
resigned  the  position  of  Technical  Dir- 
ector in  March,  1972.

For  Sparetime  or  Full  Time  Income,  There's  Good 

Money  In  Sharpening 


Here's  a  proven  practical  way  to  earn  extra  dollars  in  spare 
time  —  to  develop  a  money-making  repair  business  of  your 
own.  Investment  is  small.  There's  no  overhead,  no  stock  of 
goods  to  carry.  No  experience  needed,  no  canvassing.  You  do 
it  with  the  famous  Foley  Saw  Filer  that  automatically  sharp- 
ens all  kinds  of  saws  —  and  the  Modern  Lawn  Mower  Sharp- 
ener that  precision  sharpens  all  types  of  mowers. 

EARN  S3  to  S6  An  Hour  Sparetime 

Hundreds  of  people  like  yourself  are 
making  cash  like  this  —  $20  to  $30  a  week 
—  right  now  in  spare  time.  "My  spare 
time  saw  filing  business  has  made  me 
$952  these  first  ten  months"  —  says  R.  T. 
Chapman.  Many  have  built  a  complete 
sharpening  service  with  .such  year-around 
profits.  You  can  too,  simply  bv  follow- 
ing the  sure,  easy  Foley  Plan.

IN   CONCLUSION 


The  Growing 

Threat  of 

Non-Union 

Competition 


COLORS  PROSPERITY 
PICTURE  FOR  1973 


■  Christmas  1972  seems  to  be  one  of  consider- 
able hope  and  promise.  Peace  in  Southeast  Asia 
appears  to  be  imminent. 

As  this  is  being  written,  the  two  Koreas  are  on 
the  verge  of  being  unified.  The  efforts  of  Willie 
Brandt  to  build  better  understanding  between  East 
and  West  in  Europe  gets  overwhelming  support 
from  the  voters  of  Germany.  Even  in  the  near 
East,  tensions  seem  to  be  easing  ever  so  slightly. 

So  Christmas,  a  holiday  dedicated  to  peace  and 
love,  appears  to  be  coming  into  its  own  this  year. 
Certainly,  the  yearning  for  peace  transcends  all 
other  considerations  in  the  human  drama. 

War  brutalizes  human  beings,  destroys  lands 
and  ravishes  nature  and  the  good  earth.  I  am  sure 
it  is  the  fervent  hope  of  all  of  us  that  no  Christmas 
will  ever  again  find  one  nation  warring  with 
another. 

AS  1972  PASSES  INTO  HISTORY  there  is 
every  reason  to  feel  that  1973  will  be  a  year  of 
continued  prosperity.  Elsewhere  in  this  issue  the 
Dodge  forecast  is  published.  It  shows  construction 
activity  for  next  year  remains  strong  in  most  cate- 
gories. 

However,  how  prosperous  1 973  turns  out  to  be 
for  Brotherhood  members  will  depend  to  consider- 
able degree  on  how  much  effort  our  members  put 
forth  in  building  the  influence  of  our  Brotherhood. 

For  too  long  a  time  apathy  has  been  spreading 
throughout  our  organization.  Meetings  are  no 
longer  well  attended.  It  is  becoming  increasingly 
difficult  to  get  members  to  serve  on  committees  or 
to  volunteer  for  special  projects  initiated  by  local 
unions  or  district  councils.  There  is  little  zeal  for 
organizing,  despite  the  fact  that  organizing  is  the 
life  blood  of  the  labor  movement. 

As  a  result  of  this  kind  of  apathy,  open  shop  and 
non-union  contractors  are  successfully  bidding  on 
an  ever-growing  volume  of  construction  work. 

This  certainly  should  engender  real  concern  on 
the  part  of  our  officers  and  members  alike.  We  can 
make  progress  only  in  direct  relation  to  the  amount 
of  work  which  is  covered  by  our  contracts. 

The  more  that  non-union  work  proliferates,  the 
harder  it  will  become  to  keep  our  members  em- 
ployed steadily.  Whenever  one  contractor  who  has 
operated  union  for  any  length  of  time  switches  to 
non-union,  he  sets  an  example  that  too  often  leads 
other  contractors  to  follow  suit. 

A  major  complaint  of  most  contractors  who 
sever  their  relations  with  organized  labor  is  that 
jurisdictional  strikes  impede  the  orderly  progress

THE    CARPENTER 


of  the  work.  A  second  complaint  is  that  productiv- 
ity of  union  workers  is  not  always  what  it  should 
be.  Prolonged  coffee  breaks,  earlier  quitting  and 
later  starting  are  practices  they  cite  as  being  detri- 
mental to  the  progress  of  keeping  the  job  on  sched- 
ule. 

How  widespread  such  abuses  may  be  I  have  no 
way  of  telling.  However,  I  do  advise  those,  if  any, 
who  may  be  practicing  them,  to  take  a  long,  hard 
look  at  where  such  practices  can  lead. 

One  thing  in  my  opinion  must  be  set  straight. 
Many  stories  have  been  written  about  the  high 
cost  of  construction,  stories  which  primarily  lay 
the  blame  at  the  doorstep  of  the  skilled  craftsman. 
He  is  made  the  scapegoat. 

This  theory  needs  to  be  set  straight  because  a 
great  proportion  of  the  high  cost  of  construction 
has  to  be  laid  at  the  doorstep  of  management. 
There  is  no  doubt  in  my  mind  that  management 
must  assume  its  share  of  the  responsibility,  as  it 
is  certainly  evident  in  many  cases  that  poor  super- 
vision, poor  production  planning  and  material 
scheduling  significantly  deter  productivity.  Fur- 
thermore, escalating  land  costs,  sky-high  finan- 
cing, endless  design  changes,  and  many  other  fac- 
tors also  contribute  substantially  to  the  high  cost 
of  construction. 

When  taken  in  total,  these  things  are  the  most 
significant  contributors  to  the  overall  high  cost  of 
construction.  The  individual  workman  who  may 
not  be  producing  to  capacity  only  contributes  a 
small  percentage  of  the  overall  productivity  factor. 
That,  however,  does  not  relieve  him  of  his  share  of 
the  responsibility. 

The  union  contractor  can  stay  in  business  paying 
union  wages  only  so  long  as  he  can  compete  with 
the  non-union  builder.  If  his  bid  is  too  high,  he 
does  not  get  the  job.  If  his  bid  does  win  the  job,  but 
productivity  does  not  meet  accepted  standards,  he 
fails  to  make  a  profit  and  eventually  he  goes  out  of 
business.  Either  way,  the  market  for  union  crafts- 
men shrinks  by  this  process. 

IT  SHOULD  BE  POINTED  OUT,  also,  that 
the  non-union  contractors  have  banded  themselves 
into  growing  associations.  Through  these  associ- 
ations, they  are  able  to  combine  their  efforts  to 
combat  unionization  of  their  jobs.  They  set  up 
their  own  training  programs  and,  according  to 
several  news  stories,  they  are  investigating  the 
idea  of  instituting  computerized  hiring  halls. 
Through  computers  they  would  have  a  line  on 
every  person  who  had  worked  for  one  of  the  as- 


sociation members.  They  would  know  exactly 
what  the  man  could  do  and  perhaps  even  what 
his  feelings  might  be  towards  unionization.  This 
easily  could  become  blacklisting  in  reverse. 

Against  this  kind  of  sophisticated  operation,  it 
is  becoming  increasingly  difficult  to  organize. 
However,  continuing  organizing  is  the  foundation 
upon  which  the  vitality  of  our  Brotherhood  rests. 

I  sincerely  hope  that  1973  will  see  a  decline  in 
the  apathy  which  has  prevailed  in  far  too  much  of 
our  organization.  We  cannot  rest  on  our  laurels  or 
on  the  valiant  accomplishments  of  the  past. 

There  needs  to  be  developed  a  new  awareness  of 
the  part  which  our  Brotherhood  plays  in  upgrading 
the  living  standards  of  those  who  follow  the  craft 
of  carpentry.  There  needs  to  be  developed  a  new 
spirit  of  enthusiasm  which  can  regain  some  of  the 
zeal  which  existed  in  days  gone  by. 

Let  us  make  1973  the  year  to  start  heading  in 
this  direction.    ■

Stanley  gives 

today's  best  routers 
even  more  power 


Two  of  today's  most  popular  ball  bearing  routers  have 
been  given  even  greater  power  and  eapacity. 

Model  91264  at  $80.00  now  produces  a  full  1  li.p.; 
Model  91267  at  $90.00  has  a  full  1  Vi  h.p.  Each  router 
will  now  accept  %"  shank  diameter  bits,  as  well  as  Vi", 
using  either  of  two  collets  furnished.  Use  of  heavier  %" 
shank  bits,  however,  assures  less  breakage  under 
heavier  torques  and  feeds. 

Motors  have  welded  (not  soldered)  leads.  Microm- 
eter depth  settings  are  in  .004"  increments.  Three  posi- 

P.S.  Made  by  the  aiinw  Stanley 


tion  handles  provide  fatigue-free  operation,  better 
control,  with  convenient  thumb  switching  without  re- 
moving cither  hand.  A  switch-operated  shaft  lock  per- 
mits one-wrench  bit  changes. 

Stanley's  complete  line  of  routers  range  from  V4  h.p. 
to  8  h.p.  in  electric,  air  and  high-frequency  power 
sources.  See  them  at  your  distributor.  Stanley  Power
