editorial COlnlnellt

,

• Because of the generally un· fair and incomplete reporting job done by the major ity of the news media reporting the events sur· rounding President Nixon 's ad­dress to the recent AFL-CIO Con­vention , we are reprinting on pages 8 and 9 of this issue of the Journal two articles from leading national newspapers.

I urge all our members to read these articles, for both newspaper writers had the journalistic report· ing knowhow and intestinal forti · tude to objectively tell the full and truthful story, despite the fact their publications are not exactly known as being pro- labor. The articles are fair, informative, and not misleading. We have devoted space to these newspaper ac· counts of the Convention so that our members can know the real story and what actually happened.

It becomes readily apparent from reading these two articles , and for anyone who attended the Convention in person, that the present Administration is most certain ly directly at odds with the AFL·CIO. This no doubt has re­sulted because the organized labor movement of this nation has not wholeheartedly accepted the eco· nomic policies of the Administra· tion for obvious reason s. Th is stand, however, does not give the Administration the right to con­trive a political situation under wh ich the President could claim his office was treated disrespect· fully.

The delegates to the Ninth AFL·CIO Convention were most serious in their deliberations. The

resolutions passed on the floor of the convention made it clea r that organized labor is deeply con· cerned with all facets of American l ife and intends to give particular attention to the job of righting the politica l and economical wrongs under which the country is suffer­ing today. They voted to back the AFL·CIO programs that will help bring a futl employment economy back to this country. They voted for a program to prevent the e)(· porting of more American jobs and to bring U.S. foreign trade policies back to the real meaning of "free trade." Tax reform, civil rights, a program for national hea lth insurance. and consumer legislation to protect the interests of workers and their families were among the 78 resolutions passed to assure the workers of this country that the " peoples lobby" was act ing in thei r behalf to keep peace and freedom and the Ameri­can way of life for all the citizens of our great nation.

The convent ion proved that the representatives of labor are in fu l l unity and geared to do what is best for the interests of the coun­try. despite politics.

All of organized labor has a tremendous job to do this coming year to br ing about futl protection of the workers' lifeline-the collec­t ive bargaining system. Labor is on the firing fine. From the grass roots of the rank and fi le to the top leadership, ranks must be closed and cont inued cooperat ion. understanding. and hard work must be emphasized if the goals of labor are to be realized.

Nixon the Campaigner, at His Best With a Controversial Target,

Is Focusing on George Meany for 1972 :By JAMES M. NAUGHTON

&;>oCa. I. T~. 1< .. \'0'_ TIm ..

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24-Richard Nixon hilS a1w~ys been at his best as a campaigner when he had a contro\'trsial target to attack-whether it was offici.a.\s "soft on Com­munism" in 1946 or opponents lax on law and onter in 1968.

The President has now found another target in

New. George Meany, the . crusty. 77.year-old

An,fYI" president of the American Federa­

tion of ubor and Congress of Industrial Organizations, who applitd a rreeze to the Presi­dent's appearance before the rederation convention last Fri· day in Florida. Alld most polit­iu.1 observers here would not be surprised if he remained a urget welt into the 1972 politi· cal campaign.

Despite White House ISser­tions that Mr. Nixon was unruf­fled by the chilly reception Mr. Meany a rranged for him at the A.F.L.-CJ .O. convention, White. House officials ha\'e been at­tempting ever since to ISsure that the public would charac­terize Mr. Meany IS • villain.

With in an hour aft ~r the Pr~ident spoke to the conven­tion. Devan L. Shumway and Ah'in Snyder, assistants to Hf'r­bert G. Klein, head of Mr. Nixon's communications appa­ratus, had been " briefed"-they will not say by whom-here in Washington on what the White House regarded as discourtesies to the President. And they quickly telephoned news service and television network bureau chids in Washington to make sure their correspondent! in Florida had not missed these aspects of Mr. Nixon's appear­ance.

Mr, Shumway and Mr. Sny­der pointed out that Mr. Meany had declined to provide an ort.hestra to play "Hail to the Chief" when Mr. Nixon entered the convention hall in Bal Har· bour. bd reportedly instructed the convention delegates to sit on their hands during the speech, had countenanced deri­sive laughter during the address and had gaNeled the audience to order while the President was still mingling among the delegates.

The public denunciation of Mr. Meany on the grounds of "arrogance" and "boorishp.ess"

made Monday by John B. Con· nally, SKretAry of the Treas· ury, appeared to represent merely another step in an ef· tort to establish Me. Meany. organized labor and its Demo­cratic supporters in Congress as potential blame· takers if the economy should fail to revive by Election Day, 1972.

Mr. Nixon withheld a de­cision on whether to address the labor convention unt il the day that Mr, Meany sharply criticized the Phase Two sys­tem of controls on the economy and brought about a conven­tion mandate for the three A.F.L.-C.I.O. mtmbers on Mr. Nixon's Pay Board to adopt a policy of noncooperation. The President pointedly reminded the convention that he knew it represented a hostile audience whose members "may be against me politically."

Find Incident Euggerated Mr. Meany's explanation that

the federation had short notice of the President's decision to address the convention and his defense or the delegates' con­duct-nobody, after &II, booed or jeered, he noted-failed to mask the discourtesy inherent in his refusal to accord Mr.

Cop ·

Nixon the musical honors and personal obeisance customary when a President is the guest

But a number of obseT\'ers here thought the incident had been blown out of proportion, and they found worthy of con­siderat ion Mr. Meany's ch3rge that the President hoped all along to provoke an encounter that might win for him the sympathy of the public and the support of some in labor's rank and file.

This theory was enhanced by Mr. Nixon's abrupt and unusual decision to return to the White House on Friday ra ther than spend the weekend in FI()rida. Hardly anyone accepted as a likely rationale his reported eagerness to attend the per­formance of a Cambodian bal­let troupe in Washington.

What the change in sch!dule did dearly accomplish W I S to f heighten the impression that Mr. Nixon was disturbed by the treatment afforded him b, the labor leaders.

At the same time, the insist­ence of his spokesmen thaI Mr_ Nixon was "not upset" enabled the President to assume the altitude of a statesman, a>ove brawling with Mr. Meany.

ATTEnTIOn

.. International Vice President F . T. Gladney. together with three other shop craft chiefs, reached a National Agreement on October 7. 1971, and it was collccthely ratified by the four organizations on November 13. 1971.

This agreement was rcached without the necessity of a Presidential Emergency Board. a strike. or the intervent ion of Congress. Consequently. we now have an agreement that goes into effect in the same year in which it was negotiated. This is an all-time record for railroad negotiations.

The result of this agrecmcnt wi ll increasc the hou rly ratc fo r journeyman elcctriei:trls from $4.28 per hour to S5.50 per hour. for an increase of $1.22 per hour over a period lxginning January I. 1971. through April l. 1973.

In addition to the largest wage increase negoti:lIcd on the railroads. thc agreement also provides addi­tional paid holidays: up to fi\"c weeks' \acalion: and. liability insurance up to $ 100.000 per individual for off-li ne of road accidents.

Also. thc four organizations negotiated the first national sick-leave rule in the railroad industry.

The following is a reprint of the entire agreement. which was ratified by an overwhelming majority of 10th District local unions.

Canadian .. .. Economically '>pc:tking. the

greatest problem facin!,! the free \\orld tOday is the quc~ti()n of in· nation. In Canada. the govcrt1nlcnl of Prime Minb.tcr rrudcau has, over the past mo years. :Idoptcd the str:lIlgC51 approach to Ihis problem yet to be seen. He CSl:lblishcd a totally ineffective Prices :lI1d In· comes COllllllis~i()n thaI lws madc ccr(;lin qllc~tiOJl;lblc recommenda­tions for a stabilization of the econ­omy. The government annoullced a tight mOIiCY polic)' which. Ihe Prime Minister agreed, could cause some unemployment. even as "igh as six percent, but \\hich would ~I(," down inOation. lie accomplished Olll.' of his objccthcs : Ill,.' crc:lled unemploy­ment of 7.5 per cenL but he did lillie to Slap innalion. v. hich j, now worse than \\hl!n thl! progr:ulI began.

-I he C:lIladian L:,bour Congress has prcst.'lltt.'d the following to the C:lnad ian govcrnmcnt. regarding the surcharge.

·'The New Economic I'olicy, an­nounced b) Pre!>ident 'Jixun on August [5th. ha~ sweeping econumic implications for Canada and the rest of the world. Whill! it is ,till too early to rn .. ke any detailed a!>scss­ment of the IXhsibk effects of this new American policy. one f:,ct has emerged vcr} clearly . With the termination (If the cOll\ertibilit y of U.S. dollars illlo gold. the free world·s monetary 'ystem. b:hed on the Bretton Woods Agrt.'t.'lllent of 1944, has been thrown into an acute crisis.

labor tion on the part of the U.S. go\crn­l1lelH prompt us. as other, around the world, to demand that no time be lost in devising a new intern a­tion<ll monetary systelll. It has for ye.lrs been knov. II that the U.S. dollar was an in:,ppropriatc curr..:nc), to underpin thi!> !>ystcm. Action in moving forward to a new monct<lry sy!>tem has been long overdue.

"We therdore urge the Canadian government to aCI, ,IS quickly th possible, in co-opemtion \dlh other member nations lIf Ihe International Monetary Fund. t(1 restore inlt.'rna­tional currency siability hy cre:,ting a new monetary s}'~tem which i .. in ~ecping with the current time. Any undue dclay in doing this \\ ill silll· ply result in fears and anxieties among all nations. \\hieh could plunge the world into a ch:,otie state reminiscent of the 19305. ·1 he inter· nation:,1 trade situation ha'> alrl'ady ocen thrl':IIened 10 a de!lrce which cannot but Ix: regarded as alarming. :IS trade transactions among nation,> arc highly dependent on :t \table in­ternation:l l monetary sy!>tcm. For a country li~c C:lI1ad:,. whose eco­nomic well-being i ~ highly depen­dent on trade. thc urgency of ta~ing swift action tow:,rd Ihe adoption of a new monetary syste m is only too clearly indicated.

"The 10 per cent surtax on U.S. imports. which unquestionably \ io­"ltes. not only the 'pirit. but the ICller of the gl'neral Agrl't.'ml'nt on T ariffs and Trade. is bound to harm the secondary manufacturing !>ector of the C:uwdian economy jf it con­tinues much longer. Thi<; arbilr;lry action by [he United St:lll's. without prior consultation with mcmlx'rs of GATL has und.:rmincd and j)o<;si­hly sct b;lck for yell,"" [he Kennedy Round. which th~ United States it'ictf hnd for )ears prolllott.'d.

··But we arc 1I;lIurally concerned with the adver!>c efTect this surlax may have on our secondary manu­f;lCturing industries. upon which W~ lIlu,t rely to a large degree. for ex­panding employment opportunities in Canllda. We can not take the caMJ:l1 attitude reflecled by some commentators that only 25 per cent of our exports to the United States will be affected by this surtax. The simple fact is that our secondary manufacturing industry is greatl) de­pcndelll on exports and that a large proportion of tho!.C exports go to the AmeriC;11l markel. While we do nOI pretend to know at this earl) dale whm unemployment effects Illay re­,u lt from the American sunax. we can be reasonably cert:,in th:lI. if thi!> import lax is continued for ,m~ length of lime. exporls of Canadian­lIIanuf:,ctured goods arc bound to oc hurt. It goes wilhout saying that. if thi, happens. unemployment­already [he Number One problem in Canada-v. ill be seriously 111-

The Canadian dollar was permitted to float 15 month~ ago :l1Id. in the process. has appreciated by ahout six per cent in relation to the Aml!ric;m dollar. We do not h:l\c an undN-valued currency. as in the ca~ with certain other cur­rl'llcies. We ha\'c no non-tariff bar· fiers against American imports.

Billion-Dollar DISC: Billion-Dollar Disaster

The t oollholc

.... Our nation is ill the mi(j.,( of a spira ling inflation--complctc with a rnultiuulc of problem". inju~liccs. and economic and emotion ,1I :.Ircsscs. MilHom of Amcricam have wife red lh0 painfu l reality of a rigidl}-cnforccd wage frcele \~hilc the price of their nccc:.si tics has COIl­

tinued to rise. Yel at :l lime when every thinking AmcriC[1Il is dcspcr­alCly trying to achieve economic ba lance :md stability, Ihe prolJlcms and inequ ities Illay be incn:ascd by the resurrection of ;1 billion-dollar tax loophole.

Last )car, Ihe Senalc Finance COIIl/nilte!! killed DISC. then part of the Trade Bill. But DISC. th o.! aCrOIl}1II given to the proposed Domc:.lic Inlcl'I1uliona l Sates Cor­poration, is again threatening us­this timc as nn imponant thou!;h little publ ici red and ks~ understood part of the J> re!)ident"~ New eco­nomic Policy. An :HJm ini·.tr:lllon lax gimmick designed 10 ~'ncourllge

American business curporalion~ tn !>to.:p up their ex port aCli\il}, DISCs would be allowed 10 dder federal income laxe., 011 prufih from ex ­porh if those prolit~ wcre "pplied to new cXporl or "exp0l'l -rdalcd" activi til's. The purpose of thl'~e DISCs. aceonJing to Pro.:siuent Nixon, i\ to !>tilllu1ate export trade and thereby help the U.S. balance of pa}lllents. Ho\\c\'cr. no proof ha~ bco.:n offered to sub"t;tntia'e tho.:\C claims, and mo~t ccOnOl1li~IS bclio.:\e that any chango.: occurring in rdation to our export / import r;lIio will be ~light ;lIld out of :111 proport ion to the revenue loss invol\'ed.

No Cont rols

Anolher objection, one that should nOI be d ismissed lightly, is that D ISC docs no t contain a sys-

tem of checks and balances. The Treasury. a major backer of DISC. ha" no way of checking or con­trolling how thi, windfall in ta\: hreaks would actually be u\ed. If all corporations \\ere scrupulou\ ly honest. profits from their c'<port sak s would be c.\:empt frOIll income taxes ol/Iy if their profits were uscd in export activities or loaned to thc parent-manufacturer corporation for "export-related" activities. Under ;lIlY other circulllst:t llee~. tho.: DISC would be subjoct to full laxation.

Givo.:l1 human nature. herc's \\hat might happen. First. the propo\ed "ddcrra l" would become an CXCIIII}­

lion. For any profilable cOlllpany, the pn..'scnt ,""llue of a IS-yc:lr de-

rerra1 is approximat ely equal 10 Ihe amount of the lax itsclf. And. ~inec the I' reas ury did not place any lime limit on the deferral. there is no reason to doubt Ihal mOSI com­panic!) would go.!! 11101'1.': than their moncy bilck. T hey wou ld, in effect. bc receivi ng an interest-frce loan for that period . Second. it \\ouldn', take companies long to rea lize Ihal the arrango.:lIlent which gi\'o.:~ tho.: promise of tho.: l a rge~ t winMall under this tax propo',,1 is the combination of DISCs \\ ith Foreign Intl.'nl:ltional S:llcs Corporations (FISCs ). The propos:l1 would :Jctually encourage Ihe form:llion of FISCs in such lax haven countries as Bermuda. Pall-

THE ELECTRICAL WOItKUS '

ama. the Cayman Islands, or Swit­zerland. thus se nding ever-increasi ng amounts of American money and jobs abroad . Oncc set up. multi­national corporations could export semi-fi nished goods and components to foreign plants which. in turn. would compete with U.S. go()d~. Third . it is 110t on ly possible but highly probable that DISC~ cou ld be u!.ed fo r purely domestic activi­ties and thereby compete with our less-fa\ored home-based corpor:t­tions. In short. DISCs would further reduc~ not only our export trade but the number of employed a<; \\ ell.

I-Iou .. e [)ISC Also Faull~'

The I-louse Wa) s ;md Means Committee. perhaps rccognlllng these pitfall ... has offered its own "ersion of DISC as a counterpro­posal. Instead of offering corpora­tions a 100 per ce n! tax exempt ion on all profits from exports or "cx­[>ort-rd:ued" activities. the Hou!>C suggests Ihm DISC (aX benefils be based on the amount by wh ich n corporation exceeds 75 per cent of its nporl sales of the threc prcvi­ous years.

E,cn this modified \'ersion has its faulls. First. \\hy use only 75 per cent as a base? This sti ll leaves a 25 pcr cen t windfall exemption for I..'xports. Second. the base period shou ld not remain static but should constantly move forward; otherw i~e, windf:11I exemption is granted for the growth in exports tha t normally occurs :1<; our economy and those of ot her nations expand. Third. then,: is every possibili ty that normal trade channels will be disruptcd as taxpa)ers sed.. to di\'crt their ex­ports into Tk'W organizations so as to creatc the arti fi cial cxistence of a low or 7.4ro base period. And fourth, there is a \'en' serious flaw in the idea that subsidizi ng an industry will somehow make it more competitive. Experience in other ind ustries has alre:ldy shown the opposite to be true. Subsidies make an industry morc dependent , nol more competi­tive.

Corpor:ltiollS Gnill; Workers Lose

The establishment of DISCs. in any form , will creale tax loopholes larg,;: enough to knoc k our entire tax structure out of kilter. It has been estimated that by exempting

the export industry from taxation, the federal gm'ernm cnt will lose be­tween S600-m illion and S955-mil­lion. or roughly S I-bill ion. much­necded tax doll ars.

Who makes up the loss?

If carried out. the!.e fo ur propos,lls I,ould replace the mon ... 'y lost through DISC.

Wh atelcr lIapl)Cncd To The Ta:\: Il:eform

It I\ould be ironic if DISC be­comes the firM technical income tax Icgi~lation to pa\s Congress after the 1969 Tax Reform Act. There

is no reason to :\eccpt it in either the Treasury's "fu ll exem ption" or Ihe House's " incremental approach" form at this time, but the reasons for rejection arc many. The U.S. has al ready set in motion forces which will gre:1I1y a lt er the present currency relationships :md the future international monetary system. The competition of DISC!. added to .he ID per cent ,urchargc recently le\ il'd on impurh would fUrlhcr !>1r.lin already-tense trade relat ions.

THE ElECUICAl wanERS'

A Lineman 's Prayer

When my ha rd task on earth is done, God, gille me t ime to rest in t he sun, Rest in t he sun on a cool green hill, Where t he breath of freedom lingers

still, lingers still to caress my face, As I climb to the highest place, Highest place where content I' ll stay, Praising the lord lor each grand new

day.

For the care free rest rile neller known, Grant me a lew years to call my own, Call my own and, my sins lorgilling, Strength enough to enjoy there hlling, There lilling enjoy with greater zest, Because I halle worked and earned my

rest, Earned my rest and a place in the sun, PrOViding You lind my work well done.

Hiram W. Johns, Sr. Retired member of local l83 Lexington, Kentucky

Blessings

Each day passes, and we neller give t hought

To the wonderful r iches we own-The birds and t he trees, the lIowers

and rain, The fr iendship of people we've known, The 10lle of a man, a baby's touch, The freshness of new fallen snow: These things can never be replaced by

all t he riches we know.

Though tragedy strike, and we some· t imes feel cheated,

We get bitter and somet imes explode, We feel we are needlessly punished And are carrying a terr ible load; Then, we lash out at God, not con·

sidering All the blessings that still remain.

There are so many things to be thank· ful lor,

As you're walking down memory's lane; So, cherish what you have, dear friends, And cling to your many rewards; Be thankful and grateful for blessings, And gllle all that thanks to the Lord.

What Is Love

LOlle IS y<:Iu; Love is me; Love is flowers; Love is t rees; love is heaven and the sky That God creat ed for you and I,

For the chi ldren on the earth, For the woman who gives bi rth, For the man who will provide, For us all who will survive. Yes, that is love. Only God can do these things, For He IS the One who gllles and takes; So, let us love for HIS sake; Let' s not rum the earth and pollute

the alf; God created all 01 It for us to take care; We'll clean up the earth and clean up

the a,,; We' ll clean up the waters so they'll run

free, 'Cause God created all of it just for you

and me. Jal;kie Reynolds Wife of James l . Reynolds Local J53 South Bend, Indiana

Est imat ion When you think of a man, you seldom

thmk 01 the knowledge he has of books; You seldom think of the clothes he

wears, His habits or f aults, or looks; You seldom think 01 the car he drives Or the bonds hiS gold has bought: When you think of a man, you mostly

think Of some kindness he has brought.

You judge him not by hiS block 01 stocks,

Nor hiS power of name and pen; You Judge a man by the place he's

made In the hearts of his feUow men; You judge a man by what he's done, By the way he's faced tile stfl fe, And not the amount of the bank

account He's managed to get in hfe.

-

You thmk of the friend he's been to moo

And t he good tha t he has done; You judge the sort of man he is By the friends that he has won.

The Making of Friends

If nobody smiled and nobody cheered and nobody helped us along,

If man looked alter himself and good things went to the st rong,

If nobody cared just a l ittle for you and nobody thougllt about me,

And we all stood alone in the battle of life,

What a dreary old world this world would be.

lile IS sweet just because 01 the fnends we have made

And the things in common we share; We want to lille on, not because of our·

selves, But because of the people who care.

It's glVlllg and doing for somebody else Upon which aU life's splendor depends, And the joy of the world when we have

summed It all up Is found in the makmg of I riends.

Breakthrough

I lille in the midst of selfish men; Their greed abOunds on all sides; Their bellies won't moan of emptiness, And cold can't sat urate their hides.

Their ears grow more deaf to the suf· ferlng world ,

And their consciences in numbness burrow deeper,

As they, III one chorus and whlllmg, chant,

" Am I my brother's keeper7"

0, heed. my Lord, the prayers of those Who beg these frigid hearts awaken, To bask In the warmth 01 chafl!)' given In the name of the One they've for·

saken.

And forgive man, Lord, lor failing prey To all that the deVil begot. But, 0, my God. lorgille me first , For I am the worst of the lot.
