,

Thi$ i$ the day we SCi our tools aside and join with our fSO]ilies in

giving thanks for the many gOOd things in the life we enjoy.

Thanksgiving Day, 1976 is especially appropriate this bicentennial

year. It should bring in to clear perspective the greatness of our nation,

the inherent spiritual strength derived from its people, and the many

opportunities and benefits only possible through such a democratic form

of government of the people and by the people.

LAI lJ!'l givp. Ihflnk ~ Ihi~ ORY lor the ir1p.<lls of honor ;:lnn iflith thAt WP.

have inherited from ou r forefathers, for the decency of purpose, the

steadfastness of resolve, and the strength of will. all which those before

us possessed and passed on to their children. We must do likewise.

As citizens of this great land and as members 01 ou r hOnorable Brotherhood,

we must never forget that the highest form of expression in thanks

for wha t we have been given is not to utter eloquen t words, but instead to

live our lives as worthy examples for others to be proud to follow.

• The pre<:idential election will be over when this issue of the Journal reaches the majority of our members and other readers. However, even though the election is over the fact remains that our nation is sttll in a recession and thai millions and millions of citizens who are capable and willing to work are facing the cruel hardship of being unemployed.

Unless some changes are made through action taken immediately by both the Administration and the Congress. all indications are that the number of Jobless will continue to rise, meaning that double·digit inflation and double·digit unemployment will keep our country in the deep recession it has been suffering for the past seven and one· hal f years.

The trickle down theory and the proven fact that private enterprise Ellone cannot bring the economic situation back to normal should be reason enough for the members of Congress and the Admin ist ration to lay aside polit ica l party differences and work for the benefit of all citizens, as they have sworn under oath to do. The economic situation is not good. Our political leaders know il. They must be held responsible for the economic futUre and the welfare of the people.

During the presidential campaign, many people were lulled into believing that everything was all right. that America was getting back in good economic shape. In reality, nothing is being done to pursue positive effective policies and programs that will lead to full employment, full production and a balanced economy. In the goods·producing industries, employment is still millions below recession levels. The construction industry is still depressed with unemployment running at an average of 20 percent and some areas of the country as high as 50 percent. American jobs and technology are still being exported. The cost of farm produce and raw materials are setting new records of inflation. How can it be said we are on the way to recovery? It simply is not true.

Congress must be made to declare that any forecasts of future unemployment made by the past Administration are completely unacceptable. When they return to session, the 95th Congress must undertake an immediate and sustained campaign to reduce unemployment to a low percentage level of the total labor loree, and they must legislate programs that will keep it that way,

Be assured that organized labor will again approach Congress with goals establishing full employment as a top priority objective of a national economic policy in order to maintain a healthy economy for the benefit of all Americans.

The ISEW is in full support of the AFl,CIO, its staff, and all the state and loca l central bodies in their efforts to help legislate what is needed to achieve a true full employment economy. We have always known that there is no lack of will to work in Ameria; there is only a lack of jobs. Full employment-this has been, is now, and always will be our number one goal for all members of our Brotherhood, both in the United States and Canada.

These costs include: (billion)

Wage loss $15.4

SInce, theoretically, a worker's contribution to the wealth of the nahon is measured In terms of wages, then the total of wages lost due to ar:r:tof!nls prOVIdes a measure of thiS lost productIVity. for nonfatal Injunes, actual wage losses are used; for fatalities and permanent d,sabiltles, the figure used is the present value of all future earnings lost.

Medical expense $ 6.2

Doctor fees, hospi t al charges, the cost of mediCines, and all other medical expenses Incurr~d as the result of acci· dentallnJlllles are inCluded_

Insurance administrative cost $ 6.3

ThiS IS the dlfferpncp hfl lween premiums paid to insur· ance companIes and claims paId out by them: it is their cost of doing bUSiness and IS a part of the accident cost total. Claims paid by insurance companres are not IdentIfied separately, as every c!alln IS compensation for lo .. ~!> such as wClges. medlcClI expense, property dam· age. eic. which are included In other categories listed here_

(billion)

Property damage in motor-vehicle Iccidents :$ 8.0

Includes the value of property damage to vehicles from moving molor·vehlcle accidents. The damage IS valued at the cost to repair the vehicle or the market value of the vehicle when damage el(ceeds Its market value. The cost of minor damage (such as scratches or dents in· curred while parking) is conSidered part of the normal wear and tear to vehicles a nd IS not included.

fire loss $ 4.2

Includes losses from bUilding Iires o j $3.6 billion alld from non-building fires, such as aircraft. crops, and non· moving motor,vehicle fires, of $0.6 billion.

This loss is conservatively estimated as equal to the sum of lost wages, medical el(pense. and Insurance adrntnlstratlve cost of work accidents.

The policy must include a national energy cOf}!tCrvalion eITorl, for Ihe days of inc'ipcnsivc energy have disappeared, at leasl for thc shortrange future. and the rc~earch lind dc\clopment ncces,nry prior to the implement.llion of ne ..... er encrgy supplies will be costly :md time-consuming.

America. which had come to rely more nnd 1Il0rc on oil !I~ one of its principal sources of energy. reeled under the hard,hips imposed by the Arnb oil embargo of three ye;L(s ago. Yet . todny. the United States is morc dependelll on foreign 011 thnn it was then. while the production of domestic oil has declined. The ntltion IIlso depend~ on foreign countries for much of it~ natural ga .. supply.

Coal. like other natural resources. docs otTer the potential it)' of altern:tle forms of cnergy. Coal can he con"'crled to s),nthetic gas or oil. v.hich would he cleaner and could he more easily and economically tran~ported. Howe\·cr. such a con,",ersion proccss .... ill require considerable research and development.

The United St:ltc~ has vast dcposit~ of oil shale (a Ijme~tonc - like rock). primarily in Ihe Rocky Mountuin states. When thIS rock is cru~hed. oil can be e.xtracted. Thus. oil shalt! cou ld become a large source of energy. but production costs arc too high now to altow its lI~C competitively. Oil \hale cannot he expected to serve as an energy supply unti l 1985 at the earliest.

The sun. historica lly the primary source of energy for the earth. pro.. vide~ n limitless ~ollTce of energy, hut man has not yet ~olved the prohlem of utilizing and controlllllg it as a constant and reliable source. A breakthrough in solar encrgy technology docs not appear imminent.

Other mllu(;11 re<;()urces that could serve as alternate encrgy supplies indude the oceans' tides and gcothermal energy.

The utilization of the~ altern:tte forms of energy is st ilt in the eMly ~tages of expcriment:ltion, which must continue; ho ..... e\'cr. large-scale de .. cIopment and usc are in the long-range future.

Hrdroelectric resources. which provide one of the clcane~ t and mo~t ellicient ways to produce energy. offer further potemialitic!>; a Federal I'ow!,!r Commission report reveals thnt only

one-third of the possible hydroelectric resources has been devcloped. Thi~ energy Mlppty also provides other benefit s-\\-ater supply, nood control, Hnd recreation .

Ntwt r Technologies

America's sources of energy be)ond the year 2000 could be dependent upon 'iOme of the newer tcchnologie~ that need to be de\'clol>cd :IS soon :" possible-the liquid-metal. fastbreeder reactor; the fast-gas reactor; and fusion, whereby the nuclei of atoms of small mass arc fused into a he: .... ier nucleus. releasing nuclear energy. These arc all promising nilcleM power concepts now undergolllg research.

Goals To Be M el

It h l!vident thai America needs energy to susl'lin ib agricultural :lOd indu~trial economics and to maintain the .... ell·being of its cilizo:ns. Energy :tn,,! the f..Ic\c!opment of all energy ~upplics are needed to provide Jobs :tnd better standards of living for :111 Americans and 10 reduce the coun· try's reliance o n foreign oil anJ ga~.

Thcre cannot be a choice bctwo:en 'I,lriOU5 o:nergy supplies. No ~ing l c

.'oupply can fulfill all needs. All sup· plie~ must be de'lo:loped and utilized. Critics of energy growth arc antinuclear. anti·oil sha!e. anti-coal, antihydro, anti-o:verything. As ~incere as thcy may bc in their beliefs. their ctTorts cannot be permitted; otho:rwisc. America .... ould have a no-growth economy. Energy supplics would nOi be ~uflicienl 10 support the nceds of the countr} and its population. That WOUld. in turn. mcan fewer jobs avail· able. la)otTs, higher prices. and a further e~calation of the inflation and recession under which thc nalion h:IS been suffering for too man) years.

ECONOMIC/COLLECTIVE BARGAINING TERMS

P t - The union certilied by a national, stale, or territorial labor agency to represent a majortty 01 the employees in an appropriate bargaining unit and to be the exclUSive bargaining agent for Ihose employees.

-An agreement pro· VISIon indicating that one party to the agreement, either the employer or the union, shall have the opportUntty to shale In mOle lavOlable terms negoltated by the other party wrth anothel employer or unton.

-The telm that describes the lotal benefits which the parties agree to in collective bargaining, including wages and other cost or monetary items in the 101m of Ilinge benefits, such as Insur· ance, paid vacations, and sick leave.

PhHadelphia Local Holds Seventh Picnic

l. U_ 98, l' II1I.AO.: I. I' IIII\ , I'A.- The much-looled·for\lard-to \e\cnth picnic of Loclil 98 wa) held on Saturday, June 26, ..

3t We\! I'oint Par!. , West I>oint. I'enn .. ),\ .. IOi:l.

A~ in the pa~t. 98 \las asain hle,-..:d lO.ilh :1 henutiful day for the picnk. Chairm:.n Frank Magee, Sr., a.~ usu:tI. providc\1 98 member, and their familic, "ith n flmta"tic outing which inctudcd nice .. and ride" for the lidl and ctams and beer f\)r the adults.

The fun began \lhcn Co~hairman Jim Carrigan. :1,,-\isICd by John Heppler. AI Higginbotham. and Fred Compton. started the r:IlC\ for (III boy) and girl. frum age" t"'o to 17. Walching the\e lOts to teens churn up the green gr .. ~, provided a I,Ireat deal of Intertainmcnt for Ollr ~pectatur~,

LUter in the day John Uepplcr helped pUl together a '>Cries of softball g;IOle" v.hich indudcll \lhut looled like the o,·er-thc.hi ll gang ,tanding off the sun 'n fun crowd,

There's ~till more to c()me! Drifting around the park. one could eat hi~ fill of hOI dog~. corn on the ~ob. a,~ortment of cold cut" icc cream. raw ctum~. birch hccr. and beer. Which brings me to another in· leresting spot.

In the beer pavilion "ere rran~ Cnrolan and a hO'>I of other 98 men not onl} \e(\'ing beer, but some al'iO helped to con~ume o\er 46 half-barrel~ of beer. Olher fumili:lr facc) v. ho helped <;ene beer a\ the d:IY \I ore on ""ere Joe Spil~er, l\ob PO'don, hel Gier">ch. John Nov;I~. Bob Adllm~, I' ddic I uhr, ;lOd alone lime. the entire chore "'a, handled by fou r of the Hepplcr brothcl'o. namely, John. Chri". Skitch. and Martin .

Again John Heppler's namc tTOP\ up. John v.a~ ,ery blh} Ih :11 da). and \Ie o\le him a "pecial Ihanl~. FiNt. al the racC'i, then :It the balillame<o. and then hclpinr. to sen e I>ttr. We "'ere almO'it "tu,l \lith leflover hcer, bul. again. John pitched in 10 help eliminate thai problem.

I could go on and on about the fun Ihat Wl.S hnd by all. or the hard \lork Ihat the eommillee put into rhis picnic. Bm I thinl the real sati,faction is \I hen )UU ')CC 98 men oul enjoying thcm~eh·C\ v.ilh their familie) for a dllY of fun and rel:l\at;ol' .

HO\lc\·er. ""e ~hourd thnnl 1111 IhO'!c "'ho played an aetivc part in ma!.ini; uur picnic a Mlcee<,s. '1 here life far too muny rlnmel II> mention here. but they !.now they helped create a wunderful ou ting.

We still have over 150 BrOlhers who arc not work· ing in Jacksonville at thi s time. The work has started tu pick up some: Some of the ~maller jobs have ~iven the Brothers a chance to go tu work after bdng out of work fUT a long period of time. As the days pass we find that ~ome of the largl.'r jubs thm h:ld been un the huo .... s for a while arc ~howing signs (If finally coming around. With some re;!l gUild Iud. we might sec full emrloyment hy the early months of SIHing.

With the end of summer we lind Ihal Ihe suftball learns :lre finished. due to the fact that sn mlilly of our Brothtrs were work· ing nUl uf town. The teams had a hard time keeping rlayers. The gulf assodalinn has continued to have aboul 4U golfers shuw ur at every monthly tOllf111lmenl.

A Thanksgiving to Remember

Turk ey dinner at Thanksgiving Is tradition , so they say.

BUllhc bird that I enjoyed the most

Was the one that came my way.

I lived next to a big eSlatc Where the turkeys roamed at will.

And when I'd go out in my yard, They were ready for the kill.

Morning, afternoon or evening They'd spot me every time.

They'd chase whenever I would try To hang clothes on my Iinc.

Then olle fine day, J'd had enough And ran to my telephone. I called my neighbor \0 complain " Please keep those turkeys home!"

Days went by-no lurkeys now.

I was outside feeling frce.

Then one day a package came From the man next door 10 me.

lt was a lurkey and a note.

"Have Thanksgiving Day a n me."

And white J roasled th at old bird,

I laughed with sadistic glee.

I served that turkey proudly T o my smil ing family group.

This turkey's chasing days wcre through

For tomorrow-turkey soup!

Mrs. Ruth CotefNIn Wif" of JOMph Cole min LOCiI " 00. A$hb .... y Park, N.J .

The Sea

I watched the waves at eventide go roll ing, thundering to the shore.

In wild and restless turbulcn ts their surge would sweep thc ocean noor.

I gazed in utte r wonderment at the beauty of this place,

And shivered as her salty breath blew misty vapor in my face.

And there in awesome silence her mighty strength is stilled once more,

As in the movement or an eye a lonely piper scampers by

To glean a morsel washed ashore.

As darkness fall s and day is through, a twinkling light comes into view.

A friendly beacon casts its glow to warn of dangers far below.

The night is dark, the sky is bright, the waves become a ghostly white

That echo to the rocky shore once more become a mighty roar.

A lonely night of beauty born locked in the wealth of nature's hand.

A feeling of the greal and small a picture unrival ed by mortal man.

He rbert Taylor Me mber of Local 477 S"n Bernardino, Cal.

Energy Crisis

The time has come again we hear That Daylight Savings is drawing

near,

A man-made scheme to save some fuel

To light thc lamps, and heal our gruel.

But man should also think instead

"

About the time he goes to bed, And with the c reat ures should

arise Whcn daybreak nickers in his eyes.

The clock has ruined man's sense of time,

For he prefers some overtime.

So go to bed when twilight 's here,

And save the fuel we'll need next yea r.

John Christian Spruan Ret ired member of Local J New York, Ne w York

A Cha nge of Scene

We brought the hanging basket in.

l! was a hard decision.

November rains were pelting it ,

With rapid fire precision.

We turned the bird bath upside down,

The birds will seek the How

or a running stream, close by our home,

When falls the sleet and snow. A gloomy melancholic ai r,

Pe rvades lhe atmosphere .

Vicwing the scene, with trees so bare,

I'm ce rtain winter is here.
