major cause o f these s trikes is manage­ments' insistence to get back the " right to manage" their operations. Most of these so-called rights are take-awa}'5 that have been negotiated in the past and have noth­ing to do with their rights to manage.

Their fa vorite words are "big labor." Don' t dwell on how strong you are, dwell on how weal yOU are; get the message out 10 our people. Many lBEW members lIrc unemployed. Statistics don't properl~ reflect the true unemployment figurcs . Eight percent of the workers are not car­ried because they havc uscd up their un­employment benefits. Young people who have never had a job are not carried in the stlltistics. Four million ne" jobs 3rc ncedcd for each of the next four ycars. Unemplo)"cd people pay no taxes or buy goods. We support the Humphrey­Hawkins bill on unemployment. [t is im­perative that all branches of the IIlEW take interest in the construction induslry because they are the barometer. We need a new foreign trade program. Look at the junk dumped on you from other coun­tries We strongly support nuclear. coal, and breeder reactor plants.

The Nation 's Recurrent Problem-Inflation The United Siales is being swirled into

a new inflation spi ral brought about by rapidly-rising prices. especially food prices. and high interest niles. The na­tion's economic outlook is being over­shadowed by this new round of inflation. and the worker's purchasing power is being further eroded . The Carter admin­ist ration has recently revised its projected inflation rate of six percent for 1978 to belween 6.75 and seven percent.

April C PI

The Consumer Price Index (CP I) for April , the most recently-availab[e index as this article was being prepared. showed an increase equal 10 the March CP I in­crease. Across the board, prices in April were 6 .6 percent higher than a year ago. The April rise provided a compound an­nual inflation rate of 9.5 percent for the three months ended in April. If the Apnl rale alone were figured on a yearly basis. the infla tion rate would be 9.6 percent. dangerously close to doub[e-digil inna­lion again.

Food Prices

Sharply-rising food prices have pro­vided the major thrust to the increasing innation rate. Retail prices in April rose at a seasonally-adjusted annual rate of almost 10 percent. primarily because of the high prices for beef and other food items. Beef prices jumped by 6.4 percent in April , just a shade below the record of 6.5 percent set in May, 1975. and accounted for more than one-third of the rise in food costs. The revised cpr. inci­dentally. now shows a smaller ponion of expenses allocated for food.

There have also been recent, larger­than-usual increases in the prices of fresh vegetables. poultry, pork. sugar and sweets, fats and oil products, and dairy products. The increase has been noted as well in the cost of restaurant meals and snacks.

Other Cost Rises

The inflation spiral is building up also from rises in doctors and dentists' fees. medical care costs. clothing and footwear prices. the fuel cost of utilities. and home ownership costs. notably financing, taxes. insurance. and home maintenance and repair services.

APR[ L,

UNREVISED CONSUMER PRICE

Grocery prices (9.1 percent increase over the past year). medical care costs (8.3 percent increase). housing (7.9 per­cent increase). and fuel (7.3 percent in· crease) are the four expense groups that consistently account for the overall rise in consumer prices. Price increases in Ihese four areas are largely independent of labor COSts. However. price increases

PUr-chasing Power

Price increases have been keeping the worker's purchasing power below the 1972 level fo r some lime now. Over Ihe lasl five years, price increases have in­creased by 46.2 percent, while wages have been held 10 a 40.7 percent increase. As a result, workers are able to buy less today than they were able to buy five years ago. Real buying power is down by $7 .00 a week from five years ago. Wage increases in 1977 were the smallest since 1973. The increasing ralC of in flat ion will mean that there will be an additional falloff in consumer spending.

Interest Rates

Invariably, the Federal Reserve Board chooses to fight mflation by raising inter· est rates. which it recentl y did. and slow· ing down the supply of money. Invari· ably. the Fed's action speeds up Ihe rate o f inflation. Higher interest rates mean tha I the cost o f money is going up. Since the transaction of al[ goods and services involves money. higher inlerest rates in· crease the prices of everything that con· sumers buy. In o rder to have economic growth. the nation needs to have interest rates lowered and to have credit ade· quately avai lable.

Administration Policy

The Carter ad ministration is concerned about the upturn in the rate of inflation. The President has decided to reduce the size of his proposed tax cU1~from S25 billion to S I5-billion-in an effon to help fight inflation. He is continuing his effons to reach full employment as a way of cu rtailing inflation. He has proposed a deceleration policy of getting corporate executives to freeze their pay~which

would amount to nothing more than a token show and would do nothing in the fight against inflation-and of limiti ng wage increases to less than the average of the past two years. As usual. it is the middle- and law·income Americans who will suffer the most from high prices. high interest rates. and moderation of wage demands.

Organized labor is strongly opposed to wage controls and wage guidelines. which interfere with the accepted and fair standard of collective bargaining. Wage inc reases are the workers' means to try to catch up with the increase in the cost of living. Cost·of-living cla uses in collec­tive bargaining agreements cover only a portion of price increases. Wage increases do not Start the inflation cycle. and all efforts at es tablish ing controls or guide·

WIT'" Y"'E LJlDIES The First First Lady

• Martha Dandridge rose from an ob­scure girl to become one of the best known women in American history. Her picture, which shows hcr as a plump litlle lady wearing a frilly cap, is a companion to that of her husband, George Washing­ton, in millions of classrooms across the country. A devoted wife, she spent win­ters with Washington when he was Gen­eral of thc Army and was by his side during his years as President. She won the hearts and udmiration of all who mel hcr, both in private and public life .

Martha, thc eldest child of Colonel John and Frances Jones Dandridge. was born on June 2. 1732. in New Kent County, Virginia. not very far from Wil· liamsburg. Her father was a landowner. and she was descended. on her mother's side, from a long line of scholars and ministers.

Martha had lillie formal education. but was trained in the social graces and do­mestic accomplishments. She also did needlepoint and played the spinel. Small of stature, with light brown hair and hazel eyes, she grew into an alt ractive young woman who became the belle of Williamsburg society.

At the age of 17, Martha married Daniel Parke Custis, a wealthy planter, 20 years her senior. They lived in ''The White House" on the banks of the York River. Their first two children died in infancy. but then clime II son Joh n Parke, and a few years later a daughter Martha.

After 10 years of happily married life, Daniel Parke Custis died, leaving his young widow with more than 17.000 acres of tobacco land and tenant f:lrms, fisheries, 150 slaves, the horne, and 30,000 pounds sterling.

During the next year, a friend of Col­onel George Washington asked him whether he wanted to meet the most beautiful and wealthy widow in the county. Washington, who was in love, at the time, with Sally Elirfax, ,I married woman. replied in the a!lirmative. Of the meeting with Martha, the friend said WaShington "was charmed-nay spell­bound-by the beauty of her pcrson and the fascinating manners ami good sense of the young widow."

In the spri ng of 1758, Martha and Washington became engaged and Wash­ington wrote to her from Cumberland the following July : " ... Since that happy hour when we made our pledge to each other. my thoughts have been continu­ously going to you as another Sclf. ... "

34 I tHEW Journat

The couple was married in Martha's home in January o f the following year. and a few months later. Washington took Martha and her two children to Mount Vernon, an estate inherited from Wash­ington's brother Lawrence.

Washington was a good father. refer­ring to young Mnnh,l and John as "the children." never "Mrs. Washington's chil­dren," and a good husband, having had John inocu lated for small pox without Martha'5 knowledge, to nvoid anxiety on her part. The stale of the children's health was M;lTthu's only worry in an otherwise happy marriHge.

WaShington oversaw the farm. and Martha directed a large sta rT of house· hold se rvants. Much cloth was spun at Mount Vernon, and :It one time she had 16 spinning wheels in operation. In spite of endless daily dulies, the couple found time to entertain lavishly and be enter­tained by their many friends.

J]ut a dark cloud hovered over the home. Seve rllecn-yeur-old Martha, who had always been delicate, ~uddenly be­came ill and died in W:lshington's :lrms.

Some month~ I:lter, young John married Eleanor Calvert. Washington attended the wedding, but Martha. still mourning her dHughter's death. wrote a moving note to her new daughter-in-law: "God took from Me a Daughter when June Roses were blooming- He h:ls now given me another daughter, about her Age when Winter winds are blowing. to warm my heart again. "

There was an air of di~eontenlment growing throughout the Colonies, and Washington spe nt a great deal of time in Williamsburg, conferring with the new governor. Then in Septembcr. 1774. he was off to attend the General Congress in Philadelphia. Edmund Pendleton, stay­ing the night at Mount Vernon before Washington's departure. said of Martha: "I was much pleased with Mrs. Washing­ton and her spirit. She secmed rendy to make any sacrifice and was cheerful though I know she felt anxious. She talked like a Spartan mother to her son on going to b,wle. ' 1 hope you will all stand tirm-J know George will,' she said."

From Philadelphia in 1775, Wa~hing­Ion wrote to Marthn, "It h(ls been deter­mined in Congress thllt the whole army raised for the defence of the American cause shall be pul under my Care.. J should enjoy' more real happiness in one month with you at home than ... if my stay were seven times seven .... "

Thm ended private life for Martha Washington. As the wife of the Com­mander-in -Chief of the Continen tal

Army, she would become a public figure. At the "invitation" of Washingt .... n, Martha, who had never been more than 20 miles from home. would travel hun­dreds of miles to spend winters with her husband at his headquarters. Summers she would spend at Mount Vernon. su­perintend ing the plantation.

Along with her son. daughter-in-law, and a maid, Marth a set out. in a chariot drawn by four horses, for Cambridge. Massachusetts. Outside Phi1:ldelphia, a military group joined them and escorted them into the city. where Martha was entertained during a few days' rest.

Martha reached Cambridge in late De­cember and settled down in Craigie House, a fine old mansion, where Wash­ington had his offiee in one of the rooms. A charming and hospitable hostess. Marth:l entertained many prominent peo­ple during that winter. One guest. Mercy Warren, wrote of her: '" I will tell you I think the Complacency of her manners speaks at once the benevolence of her heart. and her nffability. Candor. and gentleness qllll!ify her to so ft en the hours of private or to sweeten the cares of the Hero. and smooth the rugged path of War .... "

As the wife of General Washington. Martha might easily have dressed in finery. But when her cnrriage pulled in at Washington's Morristown. New Jersey. headquarters, she was mistaken for the maid-so plainly was she dressed, in keeping with the somber mood of the time- until Washington greeted her warmry. On another occasion. some Morristown ladies called on Martha at headquarters and were embarrassed by their fine attire when they found Martha, known by then as Lady Washington, wearing an apron and mending clothes. One woman said, " Her gracious and cheerful manners delighted us all."

When Martha was at Valley Forge dur­ing that tragic winter of 1778. one ob­server said. '" I never in my life knew a woman so busy from eilrly morning until late at night as was Lady Washington, providing comfort for the sick soldiers."

In 1781. death was 10 take Martha's only surviving child. J'lck. who suc­cumbed to '"camp fever." Martha and Jack's wife were at his bedside when he died. Washington rode from Yorktown to be with them . The Washingtons adopted the two youngest ot Eleanor's and Jack's fOUf children . Eleanor Parke '"Nellie" Custis and George Wa~hinglon Parke Custi~.

Only a few days later. Martha had to put her grief aside to ride north with Washington, for the victory celebration.

The fighting had ended, but official peflce was still tWO years away, which meant two more years before the couple could return to Mount Vernon. On Christmas Eve in 17S3, there was great celebrating among the st.'rv:t nts when the couple fi­nally came home to Mount Vernon .

The Washingtons. with the two grand­children. settled down at Mount Vernon, expccting to enjoy the peace they well earned. But there was the constant enter­taining of statesmen, diplomats. soldiers. native and foreign inventors, painters, etc., who constantly visited them. Among the distinguished visitor~ was the Marquis de Lafayette.

Their time at Mount Vernon was of short duration. for in 1789. Washington was unanimously elected President by the Eleetoral College. Martha did not accom­pany him to New York City. the capital. but went some weeks Inter. accompanied by her two grandchildren. She was feted along the way. at every stop.

The uncomplaining Martha had th is 10

say as First Lady: "I live a very dull life here and know nothing thai passes in the town ... I never goc to any public place ... indeed I think I am more like a prisoner than anr.hing elsc.

During Washington's second term, in Philadelphia. Martha seemed to enjoy herself more. as she was among old friends_ The Washingtons allended balls and entertained in their home.

After Washington refused a third term. he and Martha were finally able to retire to Mount Vernon. M:trtha wrote a friend that she was "again fairly settled down to the pleasant dUlies of an old-fashioned Virginia Housekeeper, steady as a clock, busy as a bee. and cheerful as a cricket."

Only two years later, Washington rode over his farm for several hours, in spite of snow, rain. and sleet. and became chilled. He contracted quincy and. two days later, after much blood lelling. he died, Manha accepted his death with pious resignation. saying she would soon follow him.

She moved to a small attic room over­looking Washington's grave. where she spent much time. She WIIS surrounded by her grandchildren and great grandchil­dren. and people who visited her said she remained her old cheerful self.

M:trlha died two years later, in May, IS02. after a two-week illness. The fol­lowing appeared in the Washington Fed­eralist: " Died. at Mount Vernon. on Saturday evening, the 22d ultimo. Mrs. \-Inrtha Washington, widow of the latc illustrious General George Washington. To those amiable and Christian virtues, which adorn the female character. she lidded dignity of mnnner~. superiori ty of under~tanding. :t mind intelligent and ele· vated. The silence of respectful grief is our best eulogy."

Special Hazards From Summer Heat

• Summer brings a special hazard which can't be eliminated-the scorching rays uf u hut sun! The hazard i, overexposure -gelling too much sun.

Whether a person works outdoors or indoors, the haza rd of absorbing exccs­sive heat is present. whenever he per­'iplre .. profuo;ely. -I he danger he .. 10 the loss of snit in his body. A man working against a hOI furnace has the Slime prob­lem as a worker exposed directly 10 the blistering sun. The problem. however. ca n be minimized by compensati ng for Ihi'! salt- by replacing at lca~1 part of what he lo~~ through po.!r~plration.

NUl llm1 bud) IClupcralurc i~ 98.6° F . Nature has a way of m:linlaining that balnnce up 10 a certain point. Beyond lhl1l poinl, we ofrrn haVe 10 knl! a h:md.

Heat control of the body, as we all know, is accompli~hed throuHh perspira­tion. As perspiration leave!> the pores of the body, it evaporates and carries off heat. In hot weather, when the body re­quires a lot of cooling, we perspire more than we do in cooler weather. Of CQurse. when we perspire. we lose salt, which is eSSential 10 many functions of the body. Normally, we get cnough snit to supply the body's needs from the salt we put on our foods. But in the summertime. or when we work around furnaces or in other hot places. we have to supply our bodie!l wilh sal! in larger doses. That's when we help nature OUI by taking sev­c ... 1 -.alt tahlc!!> WIth d ll "l1~ of ""aler.

Some of Ihe signs that lell us our bod­ies haven', gal enough salt arc slomach cr:tmps. a feeling of exhJustion. dim· ncss, faintness, and finally, collapse. Sun­slroke (or heal stroke) resul l ~ from any hot or humid condition under which Ihe body loses its ability 10 cool it~t'M.

The only method of conlrol is to re­duce the temperature of our ~urroundings or to mcrease the ablhty 01 the body to cool itself so that the body temperature does not rise. Working under normal con­ditions on a hot day. a worker who per­spires freely ean lose as much as 30 grams of salt. Replacement of salt through food eaten averages much less than 20 grams, sometimes as little as 10. T Im ~a l t loss may lead to a ,a ll deficiency

whic h causes fatigue. usually re~ult i ng in stom;.ch cramps and heat exhaustion.

According to how much you pe .... pire. it i~ alhi .... h1c to take from four to six ~alt lahlet~ each day. They can'l h Jrt you: the body throws off (in perspi ra tion) all it doesn't need . A wo rd of caution. how­ever, is issued to those under II doctor's care, If you have been in~tructed nOt to usc large quantities of salt. please follow your doctor's orders.

Salt tllblet~ arc like a lot of other things today: mllny improvcment~ have been made. Ju~t as you can't compare the heavy clodhopper safelY shoe of 10 years ago wilh tvJIlY'~ liglltwcight ~ufd)' ~hOt:, neil her can you compare loday's sail pill with one sold 10 YCllrs ago.

Some workers used to suffer namea when taking the old-~tyle salt pills, the re~ult of 100 much salt high in the ~tomaeh. Modern salt pills arc coated. and the CO;'l\HI!! is unaffected b)' digest ive

juices other than intest inal ones. Delayed disrolving virtually eliminates nausea.

New salt pills contain de:uro~c. which also supplies energy in combating fatigue caused by working in hot temperatures.

Here arc several hot weather tips: I. Drink plenty of waler. When you per·

spire, you lose water. and if you don't replenish the body's slore. body lem' per:tture goes up. Drink plenty of water, but 110/ ice water.

2. Wear loose, cool clothing that allows ai r to circulate and perspiration to evaporate. Don't go uncovered.

3. Go easy on heavy foods. such as ~tan:hcs, rllt~. II1cat~. ,"lll bread. T hese arc heat producers. and we don't need them in the summertim e.

Take a tip in hot weather from the cow, which doesn't have to be led to a salt block to replenish the salt lou from its hody. Ta~e the huzard of ~urnmer heat wit h a smin of ~a lt .

One o( the bes t thinp done, in my opinion. is the dforl PUI out by the Christma5 Committee. Each ChrislmM members of the local go OUI and visit the widows of all our deceased members that are still in the areD. Not only is til " done on the Brothers' own time. Ihey are also I~k;ns time awny from Iheir own families 10 share some joy with others. Our hats are off to those Il rothers who participate in these types of function5 in order to pr.-serve the Brotherhood.

The loca! has abo gone 1$ far as pUllina o n benefit dances for some of the Bralhe" who have been unable to wo rk for lona periods of tIme due 10 sickness or injury. Brotherhood? Yes, 'He have brotherhood.

I hue heard many Iccounts of how .. ·ell our Brather~ have bttn tre~ led by various members of other locals while troveling. 1 .m sure thlt lhis has been tl1c .tsult of the fricndlineM Rnd training of our local.

Local 1238 Wins Arbitration Case I..U. 113g, WILMINGTON, DEL.- In Ihe Mny \.ssue 1 reported un the case of Brother Leon Hende rson. who was accused of theft by Del­marva Power. As reporle<l, we took this case 10 lhe AIrM:rican Arbit rat,on ASSOCia tion. The fol· lowing is a synopsis of Arbitrator Morrison Ihnds.1 ker's IlllinE

Concern,ng Ihe quantum o f required proof, the arbitralor observed Ihe following: In gener,l Ihe rule of preponderance of the evidence or some s,milar standard in de~id,ng fa ct iSlues before them, including Issues presented by uHli­nary di$c,pline and discharge cases. But the arbitrarot also no ted thl t 8 his,her degree or proof frequently is requircd ... here Ihe alleled misconduct is of a kind recosnizcd and punished by Ihe criminal law. II seems reasonable and proper 10 hold that alleged misconduct of a kind which carries Ihe sligma of general soc ial di.s­nl'proval, PS well as disnpproyal under accep led canon& of planl dise,pl,ne, should be clenrly nnd convincingly cstablished by Ihe evideoce. Rea· sonable doubts raised by the proof mean that lhe employer will al limes be required. ror " 'ont o f !lUfficient proof. to withhold o r resc ind disci. pUnary actiun wlridl il) fact m~y be full y de­served, but this kind of result is inherent in nny civilized sys tem of jusliC(:.

In faci. arbitrators have often recosn'7.ed tha t proof btyQnd a reasonable doub t should be reo quired .... here the al1eged offense involv~ an el~menl of moral turpilude or CTiminal intenl Moreover .... here the offense is of Ihis type man· agement may be required 10 prove, by a hilh d~,rt!C of proof. both the commission of the ar t and Ihe ~xistence of criminal intent_

In short. there DR: a number o f troublesome mailers about Ihi , case that, in the view of the arbitrator. add up 10 u reasonable doubt aboul Brother Henderson's guil t The company did nOI prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Brother '-tenderson was guillY_ The verdict in Ih is (:lise must be the Scotti$h one of "not proven"

The company hiled to prove its Ci!SC Anfl it ~ therefore ruled IhDI there was no ju.t eaul!e f01 the suspension o f Mr. Leon Henderson. He shill be paid for the five week. los l wage'< durin& the period of the ~uspen~ion and shal1 have full ,enlority r'ght. rc:;lurc..t .

SI-lD~T cl~cLlITS From Done to Do

Yesterday, I voiced appreciation And what I've said before )'11

say again. You were and shall remain my

inspiration, My fortune or my c hallenge now

and then. Today let's say I 'm rushing in

and Qut The sounds and signs I make

don't fllways fit. Worrisome details lie all about.

I might as well just fold my arms and sit.

Tomorrow is a hope-may never come.

So c rowded with the things that ought to be

All my dreams and fantasies in one Extra vaga nt and charmed

complexity.

Tomorrow Is Upon Us The fun and noise,

Oh , the smiles that they bring. Th e laugh ter and sights

As the ocean birds si ng. The sand and the sun

The moon and its waves Cannot compare to

The memories we save. The time we were running

and swimming all free. The night on the town

with you beside me. The good and the bad

Like yesterday's fuss. The tear of memories

When tomorrow comes upon us. The fun and the noise,

Th e moon and the waves, Are all like a tear

Wh ich our memory saves. Are all worth a million

Yes, even the fuss. They will not be sold

Tomorrow is upon us.

Extra Extra Evcn though he won't admit it,

I can attest to th '.! fact He was proud from his ha t

to hi s shoes. For there he was a-grinnin'

Like a C hes hire cat On the front page of the T ipp

City News. There was his face

Right in the spot Usually reserved for presidents

and ki ngs And for pictures of tornadoes,

Automobile wrecks, fires, an d other importa nt things.

But. th a,'s my dad,

And he's just as important as the President and kings you sec;

We need the heads of state to make the laws of the land

And they need my dad for thei r electricity.

God put each of us here to do a job.

Each with a vcry special purpose.

And I think deep down inside Just once in our lives we wish

everyone would take notice.

Well, one way to do it I ~ to get your pictures in the

paper

Like my dad and that other guy. Even if it's just for local town

folk to enjoy

And not sent out by the UPI.

Summer Heat

When tiger lilies bloom across the land.

And red hibiscus open at tbe dawn.

I know Ihe hcat of su mmer is at hand,

And tend with lovi ng care, the trees and lawn.

The purple clematis is full of bloom

And live fo rever, green beneath the trees.

When ti ck le grass and dandelion loom

Th ey fl ourish in the heat of summer breeze .

Small boys and girls go dashing on thei r way,

With swimming suits and shouts of merry glee.

They do not mind the heat of summer day,

And always take the time to wave at me.

A happy time of year fo r youth, lind those.

Who bloom with heat, beside the sum mer rose.

Wedding Day Combi ned they will become

Th e fo ur seasons. Spring

She brings to him a sweet softness, a quiet time.

Summer He brings to he r a rich

blushness, a brilJance of color.

Fall Together they must I:!am 10

Share the gold of wealth The brown of despair.

Winter Together they'll know

Th at thru winter"S bleakness, Their roots have combined and

grown strong. That they can be assu red of a new

spring greeness.

• Thousands of l ives are lost each year because people are thrown against windshields or out of car doors by the impact of crashes. You r chances of being killed in an accident are five times grea ter if you are thrown from the vehicle. Your seat bell will help keE'p you in the ca r. • Contrary to popular noti on, seat belts offer great protection at moderate speedS. More than half of the accidents causing injury or death involve speeds 01 less than 40 miles an hour. Your seat belt can prevent or lessen injury in an accident and may save your lile. • Many people mistakenly believe that they don 't need seat bells because they drive mostly in their own communities and seldom lake long trips. But the ligures show that two out of three traffic deaths

CAN MAKE YOUR VACATION A HAPPY EVENT INSTEAD OF A TRAGIC ONE

occur within 25 miles of home. Your seat belt can protect you in town as well as on the highway. • Less than one per cent 01 all injury-producing accidents involve lire or submersion to any deg ree. Contrary to widely held beliefs, seat bells grea tly improve your chances 01 surviving even such an accident. A seat belt can be unfastened in an instant with one hand. Your seat bell can increase your chances of remaining conscious, so you can get clear 01 a submerged or burning car.
