labor Has Acted in Good Faith To Help Strengthen the Nation 's Economy

.. Only when organized labor received personal assurances from President Nixon that the Pay Board as set up under hiS stablhutlon plan Phase II would be autonomous. did the "peoples lobby" agree to serve on the tripartite committee DeSIRned by the Administration to help curb mflatlon the economic woes 01 thiS country, Phase II calls lor labor. management and the public to help by serving on Ihe control boards which will curb wages and prices after the " deep freeze" IS oller

AFl·CIO President George Meany appeared before a House Ways and Means Committee of Congress early In Sept ember of thiS year and made .1 clear that organized labor was willing to cooperate With the Administration plan for economiC stabilization If the machinery of the plan was free nf e:ovl'!rnment r.onlrnL When invited 10 the White House to express labor's views on what should happen afler November 13, PreSident Meany firmly stated that labor was agamst government dictation 01 wages and contract terms. Naturally big busmess representatives and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce took the poSition that the Cost of lIvmg CounCil modo up m:unly by admlmstratlon cabinet members should be the deCISion makers With no public sector, management or tabor, Involved.

Labor leaders met with Administration offiCial' and were bnefed on the Pay Board and Price CommiSSiOn and were given the Impression that the Pay Board would be autonomous and not sublect to the veto of the cabmet·level Cost of Llvma CounCil Labor became suspicious when Secretary of the Treasury John Connally at a later news conference Indicated th"t the Pay Board's authuroty wtJltlfJ ~ :w!JloX-t to review and its de-clslons could be vetoed by the Cost of LIVIOB CounCil of which Connally IS Chairman.

OfltdrltZed labor could not buy Connally's explanation and asked the White House for clanflcal ion before decidmg what course of action to take In the workers interests. The answer was forthcomlOg With a definite commitment from PreSident NII{on that laid It riaht on the line 10 answer to labor's doubts. COLC Will not approve, disapprove or serve as an appeal level for "'I he case deciSions made by the Pay Board and Price CommiSSiOn, and It Will not approve, revise. veto or revoke specifiC siandards Of cntena developed by the Pay Board and Pnce CommiSSion:' ThiS was the breakmR pomt that labor needed. the guarantee that labor representation was not to be used as "window dreSSing" while serving on Ihe Pay Board. Organized labor throuah President Meany has let the Whi te House, the general public and management know that labor is most willing to help curb inflallon by being a part o f President Nixon's plan to conlrol waees and prices hul Ihill lahor was contlnulni to oppose Ihe President's t all measures which give nothing 10 the workers and all 10 big bUSiness, thai watch 'doa units will be set up across the country by labor 10 momlor prices and Ihat Ihe AFL-CIO Will continue to fight for a full employment econOmy.

It was made very crystal clear to the Administration that the AFL·CIO ellpected the Pay Board to approve some of the deferred wage Increases after the ellptration of the freeze and that a no·strike pledge was not given to President Nixon and that he had not requestod ono. The AFL·CIO has not pledged th. affiliated unions of the Federation to accept any unfair ruhng thai would come from the Pay Board.

It IS hopeful that there Will be a roll back on the wage Increases that were frozen between Auausl 15 and November 13. and that rf'lrnadlvl'! Increases Will be paid. GUidelines Will soon be established and legislative proposals to Congress will be sent by Ihe Administration to back up the Phase II program of Ihe President. It IS orSl!lnlzed labor's deSire that Congress will Impose mandalory controls on Interest rates and profits and then the restraints on the Incre3!>e!; In wage!; that Ihe workerli are forced to live With Will not be so hard to take.

The White House. the Congress, the bIg bUSiness Interests. and the seneral public have heard from organized 1000bor and the pledge made on bf-half of Ihe work~rs whn live under the collective barsamins agreements IS not a false one. The umon members have a stronB deSire to help bnng normal economic conditions to themselves and thelf country. It IS up to the politiCians and those who contrOl the money to ,,,,,kll tll.m ",I!;luges and actions just as strong.

New York Times Survey Finds Union Members Agai nst Wage- Price Freeze

Labor Urges HEW Not To Boost Medicare Costs January 1st

Eight More Job Area s Added to "Substantial" Unemployment Listing

Increasing Education Spending Could Spur Construction

Contrary 1.0 the press statements of the Nixon Admin­istration, a nationwide survey by the New York Times has found union members generally -antagonistic and often hitter- toward President Nixon's wage- price freeze . I n the nation ' s factories and shops, corre­spondent s for the Times found, "workers were re ­peatedly crl tical of the President for not freezing profits. dividends. And interest rA tes while offering special tax concessions to husiness . n Admi nistration spokesmen had tried to make believe that union lead­ers , in critici:;ing the new Nixon economic game plan, were out of touch with their own members . But thi s s urvey by the Time s found union leaders and members very much in s~The survey particularly noted that worker disenchantmen t with the wage- price free~e was emphatic among workers who lost out on a wage increase or who se contract negotiations have been stalled by the freeze .

Medicare beneficiaries will be paying 13 per cent more in deductibles and coinsurance for hospi t al car~ beginning January I, 1972 . AFL- CrO President George Meany called the increase "t ragic M and immediately aske!l HEW Sect"etary Elliot L. Richardson to rescind it . The increase means the elderly will be paying the first $68 of hospital bills . Meany pointed out that mo s t of the elderly cannot afford the incrca~c . "For many , the choice will be between food or heal th care ," he told Richardson in a letter .

Eight more cities have been added to the list of areas suffering from "s ubs tantial " unemployment . The two major areas involved are San Francisco- Oak land in California and Gary- Hammond- East Chicago in Indiana . Their addi t ion makes 64 of 150 major areas now suffering from six per cent or more unemployment . Last month there were 62. while a year ago the number was only 35 . The six smaller areas added to the li s t were Richmond, Ind.; Ann Arbor and South Haven , Mich . ; Las Vegas , Nev . ; Westerly, R. 1., and Randolph , Ut ah .

According to the U. S . 01"t"ice or Education, Americans will spend a record Sa5 . I - billion to educate the in­creased number of students expected to fill the nation ' s classrooms thi s year .

.... A tower revamping job at T ompkins Cm'c on the Hudson River, in New York, is being pcr+ rormed as a joint venture of Chester­Donovan. The conductors were re­moved frolU a 5,200·fool span over thc Hudson River, and Ihc lOp of thc existing 440--fool tower was re­moved, down to Ihc bent leg al the 355-fool level, and is to be replaced by 113 Ions of new sleel, making the lOwer 473 feet high.

New wire to be installed wil! con­sist of 2.579-MCM aluminum with steel core-two-bumJle conductor­double circuit with four static wires.

To support the added weight, each tower leg is to be reinforced with one-inch plate steel welded to the existi ng leg. Eighteen tons of steel will be used for thi s purpose. Also, I VII-inch tack hoks. two feet apart, al! the way up. have to be welded full. To fill one I:lck hole requires 14 welding rods and 35 minutes plus three welds all the way up on each leg, which adds up to miles of weld­ing. At the present. 12 welders are on the job, three to each kg, by Ihe usc of spider web staging.

A 250-Ion P&H crane. mounted on rubber, removes the old steel and installs the new. This crane has 440 fCl't of stick. which includes 125 feet of jib. The machine has a 25-ton counterb:llance on the fronl of the truck and a 35-ton counlerbal­ance on the back of the crane house. h is equipped with seven o utriggo::rs.

Moving this m:lchine requires nine tractors and trailers. Three cranes were used to reassemble it. Because of tho:: lack of working area. the reassembly had to be done in the air. which tooK five days. This is the largest mobile cran\O in the coulltry and is operated by Charles J . IJrook s. a member of Local 1249, Syracuse. New York. The work is being supervised by Project Man­ager Dean Montgomery; Superin­tendent Jerry Stubbtkld; general forC'rn:lI1 Howard " Rip" Finch; fore­men Dave Rathburn.

Senate Trade Bill Would Restore Balance To World Trade

l abor Urges Congress To Reassert Control Over the Economy

4.000 Union Members Call on Congress To " Save Our Jobs"

•

[OnIiRESSlonAl [ABLE

A labor- backed trade bill , designed to bring an end to the expor t of American jobS and technology, as well as res t ore the balance of trade for the Uni t ed States, has been i n troduced in the Senate by Senator Vance Hartke, Democrat from Indiana . The bill would discourage American business investment abroad and limit the jOb- destroying flow of imports into the Un i t ed States . A bill similar to the Hartke Bill has been introduced in the House of Representatives by James A. Burke, Democrat of Massachusetts. The Hartke Bill would moderni ze current tax 18".'5 by ending tax incentives which now encourage U. S . firms to invest abroad ; replace the present Tariff Commission with a new independent commission; set up quotas .. 'here neces­sary; and impose strict regulations for the labeling of foreign products . or components made abroad, in­cluding advertisements for such products .

The AFL- CIO has called on Congress to -reassert con­trol over the economy· and pull back the -blank check­it gave to President Nixon because he has ·proved­unworthy of that trust . " AFL- CI O President George Meany speaking before the House Banking Committee said labor has nno confidence n that the Nixon Administra­tion can be trusted to use broad stand- by economic powers with abalance , equity . and fairness . " Presi ­dent Meany led a long list of trade union leaders who tes t ified before the House Committee in opposition to the President ' s heavy- handed economic measures . Meany summed up the new Nixon economic game plans as a $4-billion loss to workers in negotia t ed wage gains coupled with a $70- billion tax bonanza for business over the next decade .

More than 4,000 union members at the start of the AFL- CIO Industrial Union Department ' s recent conven­tion in Washington, D. C., called on Congress in person to back legislation designed to reform the nation ' s trade la,,'s . Buses delivered delegates and other union members to t he Capitol and Congressional offices where they fanned out to buttonhole their congressmen, acquaint them with t he problems facing workers as the job marke t shrinks and urging their support for the Har tke- Burke Bill . Some 2,500 were expec t ed for t he "Save Our Jobs " rally , but mo r e than 5 , 000 showed up for t he I UD- sponsored effort .

~-----------------------------------THE HECTRICAl WORICEIS'

She Heard the Cry and Answered ~ Recently, was rereading

some of the sonnets and poems of one of my favorite pocts, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and I gOi to WOI1+

dcring how many Journal readers know that her "The Cry of the Children" was wfinen as a protest against child labor. Naturally, my thoughts also turned to Mrs. Brown­ing herself, the kind of person shc was, her feelings and ideals, and about the social evils and the con­ditions of child labor in those dllYS.

Mrs. Browning, incidentally, was born in England in 1806 and died in 1861. H er poem, "Thc Cry of thc Child ren:' was published in [843. It is II highly-sentimeTltal, pas­sionate pica for social justice and did much to bring about some re­form.

In those prc-child-Iabor-Iegisla­lion days, it was not unusual for small children, some on ly six, seven, and eight years of age, to toil from dawn to dark, and even late into the night, especially in factories. Tho~e pale-faced youngsters, over­come from weariness und lhe lack of sleep, would often [all over on the job. Of course, the hours that they worked precluded their receiv­ing even the most basic education, and so they were kept in slavery, ignorance, poverty. and poor health. They were denied any chance of having what we would think of as a "normal childhood" ... no time for play or fu n. no romping in the sun­shine. no schooling; in short. no lift:.

The child labor problem, in those d<lYs, W<lS most serious in glass fac­tories, textile mills, tfuck gardens, berry fields, canneries, street trades ( newsboys, bootblacks, CIC.), and night messenger service.

JOURNAL FOR NOVEMBER, 197 1

The Kn ights of Labor proposed a national child I.lbor law in the I 880s, and certainly the need fo r such legislation was obvious to c,reryone. Thankfulty, labor It.-gis­!ation in the United States. as in England. begoll1 with the regulation of child 1:lbor. where the need for protection W.IS the most obvious.

The four most important and most-needed features of child labor legislation were a minimUIll 'Ige. a minimum of education before enter­ing cmployment, a minimum num­ber of hours for the employment of children, and protection of the children against especially-hazard­ous or unhealthful occupations.

A tremendous amount of chi ld labor legislation was passed in the states frOm 1902 until 19 J 6, when the first feder:11 child labor law was passed. It had then been 10 years since the federal regul'Ltion of child labor was first proposed in Con­gress!

With the conditions that were prevalent in those days, it is no won­der that people such as Elizabeth Burrett Browning raised their voices ,lI1d their pens in protest. Mrs. Browning, after all, had a great deal of warm-hearted pity for the op­pressed; her poetry is characterized by deep feelings and pathos.

She. who had been born to wealth, with all of its benefits, 111-

cluding a very good educalion, and who had enjoyed a delightful ch ild­hood in the country. was an invalid most of her life, fol1owing an acci­dcnl, in her teens, which injured her spine.

Read for yourself. now. her pas­sionate poem protesting the evils of child labor. And, by the way, have

a happy and gratefu l Thanksgiving Day.

The Cry of Ihe Children

Do yc hear the children weeping, o my brothers.

Ere the sorrow comes with years? They arc leaning their young heads

against their mothers. And ,hm cannot slOp their tears.

Th\! young lambs are blc;lIing in the meadows;

The young birds nre chirping in the nest;

The young fawns nrc playing with the shadows;

The young flowers are blowing toward the west-

But the young. young children, 0 my brothers.

They arc weeping bitterly! They arc weeping in the pl:lytime

of the others. In the country of the free.

Do you question the young chilllren in their sorrow,

Why their leal'S are falling so? The old nwn JlIay weep for his to­

morrow WIlich is lost in Long Ago;

The old tree is leafless in the forest, The old yea r is ending in the

frost. The old wound. if stricken, is the

sorest. The old hope is hardest to be losl.

But the young. )oung children, 0 my brothers,

Do you ask them why they stand, Weeping sore before the bosoms of

their mothers, In our happy Fatherland?

They look up with their pale and sunken faces.

And their looks are sad to sec. For the man's hoary anguish draws

and presses Down the checks of infnncy;

"Your old earth," they say, "'is very dreary.

Our young feet,'" they say. "arc very weak;

Few pace~ have wc taken, yet arc we:lr)-

Our grave-rest is vcry far to seek; Ask the aged why they weep, and

not the children, For the outside e[lrth is cold.

And we young ones stand without, in ou r bewildering,

And the graves arc for the old.

"

"T rue:' s:IY the children. "it may happen

T hat we die before our time: Little Alice died last year. her !,!rave

is shapcn Like a snowball, in the rime.

We looked into the pit prepared to take her;

Was no room for any \~orl in the close day!

From Ihe sleep wherl!in !>he li l!lh. none will wake her,

Crying. 'Get up. link Alice! It is day:

If you listen by that grave. in sun and shower.

With your car down. little Alice never cril!s:

Could we sec her fnce. be Mlrc we should not know her,

For a !>mile has lime for gruwi ng in her I!yes.

And merry go her mom ents. hill ed and stilled in

nle shroud by the lirl-chime. 11 i!> good when it happens:' say the

chi ldren. "That we die before our time:'

Alas. alas. the children! They arc seeking

Demh in lif.: as oc!>t to hom:: They arl! binding up thl!ir hcarts

aW:ly From breaking. \Vith :1 cerement from the gr:ne.

Go uut, children. from the minI.' ;lIld from the ci ty,

Sing out, children, as the little thru!->he~ do:

Plu ck your handful~ of the meatlow­cowslips pretty.

Laugh aloud. to feel you r fingers let them through!

But they answer. "Are your cowslips of the meadow",

Like our \~eeds anenr the mine? Leave us quiet in the darl of the

coal-shado\\s. From your pleasures fair and fine!

··For. oh," say the children. "we arc weary.

And we c:lI1not run or le<lP: If we cared for any mcadO\\s. it

were merely To drop down in them and ~Ieep.

Our knces tremble sorely in the stooping.

We fall upon our faee\. trying to go;

And. und..:rneath our heavy ~')dids drooping.

"

The reddest "ower would looJ", a, p:l le as snow.

For, all day. we drag our hurdcn tiring

Through the coal-darl under­ground;

Or. ;111 day, we drive the \\heds of iron

In the factoric~, round and round.

" For. all dOl). the whceb arc dmn­ing. turning :

Their wind comes in our faces. Till our hearts turn, our hC:I(i\. \ ... ith

pulses burning. And the walls turn in their place~:

Turns the sky in the high \\ indow. blank and reeling.

Turns the long light that limps adown the wall.

T urn the black nics that crall I along the ceiling;

All arc turning. all the (iay. and we with <ill.

And :111 day. tile iron Wlll'cls arc dron ing,

And sometimes we could pr:ly. '0 )C wheels' (breaking \Jut in a

mad moaning). 'Stop! Bc silent for today!' "

Ay. be silcnt~ Let them hear e;lch other breathing

For a moment. mouth to mouth! Lei them touch each other's hands.

in a fresh wreathing Of their tender human )outh!

Let them feci that thi!> coltl metallic motion

Is not all the life God fa~hions or reveals;

Lct them prove their living souls against the notion

T hat they live in you. Ill' under you. 0 whecls!

Stil l. all da~. the iron whed~ gil on­ward.

Grinding life down from its mark: And the children's souls. which God

is calling sunward. Spin on blindly in the darl.

Now tell the poor young children. o my brothers,

To look up to Him and pr;I)':

So the blessed One who blesseth all the others.

Will bless them anothcr day. They answer, "Who is GO<.! that He

" He is speechle'iS as a stone: And the} tell us. of His image is the

Dark, wheel-like, turning c1o\ld~ afe all we find.

Do not mock us: grid h<ls made u~ unbelicving;

Do you hear the children I\cl!ping :md disproving.

INTERNATIONAL BROTHERHOOD OF I<: LECTRICAL WORKERS

WASHINGTON, I). C.

REI'ORT FOR TU E FISCAL YEA R ENDED J UNE 30. 197 1

August 31. 1971 International Executive Council International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Washington, D. C.

Gentlemen:

We have examined the accounts and records of International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers for the fiscal year ended June 30. 1971. and submit here· with the following e'(hibits, schedule. and comments:

Ex hibit "A"-Balance Sheet As at JUlle 30, 1971.

Exhibit " B"-Analysis of Fund Accounts For the Fiscal Year Ended J une 30.1971.

Exhibit "C'-Statement of Cash Receipts and Disbursements For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30. 1971.

Schedule ., I "--Cash Asat June 30. 1971.

COMMENTS

Cash on deposit was reconciled with the balances verified by direct correspondence with the depositories. Undeposi ted receipts were tmeed into banks in deposits made subsequent to June 3D, '971.

All stocks, bonds, and notes were verified by direct correspondence with the custodians or malers thereof. by inspection. or b) examination of the records showing the d isposit ion thereof. We did nO[ attempt to ascerta in the suffic iency of the value of real estate or coll ateral securing notes receivable.

Loa ns. advlll1ces, and deposits were checked with the dcwiled accounts, but were not confirmed.

Furnitu re and cqu ipment is stated at cost, less pro-­ceeds of furn iture and equipment sold and reserve for depreciation accumulated to June 30. 1971.

"Suspense Account" (Fonnerly "Unallocated Collections") is the control account of the e.'(ccss of unallocated receipts from and o\ierpayments by local unions o\er amounts due from local unions for amounts which have been included in "Receipts Allocated:' Dur­ing thc conversion to a computer system. which is still in progress. the detail of items included in this account had not been effecti\icly maintained. We were. there· fore. unable to \erify the accuracy of the balance in the account.

No funds collected from contractors for the pay· men! of pensions arc included in this report. as sllch funds arc controlled by trustces in accordance wit h the employees' benefit agreement and arc not includable in the accounts of International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.

This rcport is preparcd on a cash basis and does not reOcct prepaid or accrued items.

We examined the method of recording receipts and made tcst·checks of various transactions. All disburse· men ts were checked to supporting vouchers and / or to cllllcelled checks ~igned by the sccr.:tary and the treas· Ufer.

In our opinion. the accompanying balance sheet. prepared on a ca~h basis, and related statement of cash receipts and disbursements, subject to the foregoing comments. present fairly the financial condition of In­ternational Brotherhood of Electrical Workers as at J une 30, 197 r. and its cash transactions for the fiscal year then ended, in conformi ty wilh generally accepted accounting princ iples consisten tly applied.

Respcctfully submitted.

NO HOME IS COMPLETELY FIRE SA FE

Have An Escape Plan " Planning your household's escape in case of fire at home isn't jus t a good idea-it 's a duty and responsi­bility . ..

The National Fire Protection Association suggests these points in an escape plan. It notes that family drills can be the difference between a t ragedy and getting everyone out safely. Right now. think how your family can escape from each room . especially the bedrooms at night.

Make your plan now-1. Carefully figure out at least two routes to the outside from

every room in the house. Remember, fire may block usual stairway or hall exits.

2. From upper floors. use porch and garage roofs , ladders, or trees as ways to safety .

3. Instruct each person how to reach the planned exit. Provide specia l help for invalids and infants.

4. Be sure you sleep with hall or bedroom doors closed ... to help hold back fire.

5. Agree on signal (whistle. horn. etc .)-may be needed to alert people in other rooms.

6. Pick an outside meeting place where the family will gather. Have rule-"once out-stay out'''.

7. Plan to notify Fire Department quickly after entire family is out of house.

8. THEN PRACTICE! Avoid a panic tragedy by having everyone familiar with your emergency fire escape plan.
