Policy T.> ail International Officer- and Affiliated Local Unions March 2u. !?S Dear Sir; and Brothers: Just prior to the fir-t of this >ear the National Labor Relations Board established a policy which in it; ap plication would be extremely harmful to labor organ izations and in particular to building trades locals In 1956 the Board decided the Bro^n-Olds Co. case 115 NLRB 594 and provided that the penalty ior the local union involved ior maintaining a dosed shop was to reimburse the employees of the company involved, all dues and assessments paid into the union from a date six months prior to the filing of the charge to the date of the decision. This Re-'t.-n-O/rtV decision was a departure from the Board's previous practice of requiring that the individ ual affected be reimbur?ed any damages suffered and the union he enjoined from continuing its practice. The decision of the Board was also clear that if the other employers who had signed identical agreements with the union were before the Board, their employees w. add. likewise, have to be reimbursed by the L'nion. The Board has applied this remedy in many cases -ubsequent to this decision, applying it to associations of employers as well as individual employers, but in each case has allowed the union to settle the case by paying only the damages to the employee involved. The new policy of the Board which was to be effective Jan uary 1. 1958 was that all settlements thereafter would have to include the Proii'n-Olds remedy of reimburse ment of all due; and assessments when the case involved illegal union security provisions, either in the agree ment or m actual practice, and could not be -ettled otherwise. The Legal Advisory Committee, upon which our International is represented, of the Building and Con-truction Trades Department urged that steps be taken to avert or postpone this new policy and as a result, the Department has been informed by the General Counsel of the National Labor Relation. Board, that if the em ployers and the unions which are party to illegal hiring arrangements vigorously undertake to correct these ar rangements prior to June 1. 1958; he would undertake to defer the full application ot this doctrine until that time. I have enclosed a copy of the letter of the General Counsel oi the National Labor Relations Board and a copy of the letter of President Richard Gray of the Building and Construction Trades Department dated February 20. 1958, for your information. The financial impact oi such a reined' would be to bankrupt most local unions involved and am iocai union affiliated with our International which mav have in ef fect an agreement which provides ior illegal hiring practice?, or even without such an agreement continues such practices. -hould see that the agreement and or practices are corrected at once. Our International and its local unions have been fortunate in that charges have been rarely made against them, and in most of the cases the eharges were with out foundation which prompted the dismissal of -uch charges by the Board. Although our International union provides each local union with a model form of agreement as authorized by the International Constitution there is no requirement that this agreement be used, and it is possible that some local unions may have illegal union preference clauses in their agreements. I advise that you examine your agreement immediately, and if there are such daises contained in them, that you take the necessary ;teps to have the agreement amended to delete these clau-es at once. I might point out in particular that while I don't agree with it the Board has held that the mere use oi the clause. "Member of local union------ is a viola tion of the act requiring union membership preference. Mich an expression should be removed from vour agreement. Just as the collective bargaining agreement should not provide for union preference you should also check the trust agreement of any welfare fund, vacation or pen-. ?ion plan which you may have, in order to insure that it does not. nor do the rules adopted by the trustees or the insurance contracts, certificates, or fund booklets, establish or indicate that there is any union member-hip preference in the administration of the Fund. If your local union has an attorney. I suggest that you ask him tu review your agreement in light of the Profit-Olds decision for his comments. I am advised that the model form of agreement does not provide for any illegal hiring arrangements under the law as it is interpreted today. Should any of the clauses in the agreement be challenged in this regard. I shall immedi ately inform alt local unions. I want to emphasize again very strongly, that the Board is concerned, not only with the written language oi the collective bargaining agreement, but just as much with the actual practices of the parties. In order that this International may be aware of what charges are being made against the local unions, please notify the General Office whenever charges are filed with the Board and send us a copy of them, and oi the decision rendered. I am particularly concerned with . a'C iiiicj a-v: : \ :.-\C ' penalty ;; being apmmediateiv when this Frat-.rually your?. C. \V. Sickles. Oenere.!

February 20. 195S Generai Presidents National and International Unions Affiliated with the Building and Construction Trades Dept.. AFL-CIO Dear Sirs and Brothers: This is with reference to the problem of union secur ity clauses and practices in the Building and Construc tion Indust'' It has been the consistent position of the Building and Construction Trades Department that the provi sions of the Taft-Hartley Act i Labor-Management Relations Act of 194"). including those relating to union security, are unworkable and unfair in their ap plication to the building and construction industry. The Department has maintained a vigorous and continuous legislative program to educate the public and the Con gress on our grievances in this respect with the object of securing remedial legislation. That program will be continued and strengthened with the purpose of secur ing increased support to accomplish our legitimate objectives. It has also been the view of the Department that until legislative relief is secured, it is necessary, in order to safeguard the interests of the constituent unions and their membership, to comply with existing law. The Department has. therefore, advised and coun selled that the unions in the building and construction industry should effect compliance with existing law to reduce the heavy costs of litigation and to avoid ruin ous judgments and awards which would have to be paid out of union treasuries. The severity of the penalties applicable to violation of the Tait-Hartley Act is. at times, not fully realized. I believe it is generally known that a union found to have violated the union security provisions of the TaftHartley Act is subject to an order by the National Labor Relations Board requiring it to cease and desist from maintaining the illegal agreement or arrangement and. in addition, to pay such back wages award as may be made by the Board. Under this back wages penalty, substantial amounts of money have been paid out by building trades unions which have been found by the National Labor Relations Board to have violated the union security provisions of the Taft-Hartley Act. In 1956 the National Labor Relations Board decided the Brown-Olds Co., case, 115 NLRB 594 which added an even more serious penalty. In this case the Board found that the particular union involved was a party to an illegal union security agreement. The Board applied the usual requirement that the union should cease and desist from maintaining any a;vrr::-.v:: '.he uni'T -.'."'.:k make '.u ^ t:'c charging part', ror nr.-, .o-- : ay he may have -ufrereh because of the :i-cr:nm.if''u against him i'ii eJiitien the Board ordered the tuui'n to rcuttbr.r-e a.7 employees of Fr.-;en-0!ds. including members of the union who had not hied any charges, in the full amount of anv do.es and jssessiiicnts naid h\ them hack to a period of -ix months before the charge- were hied The Board made it clear that, excent tor proced ural reasons in this particular case, it would have ant'iied the so-called Brown-1 >!ds penaltv to all other emplnvees working under any similar illegal agreement between the union and anv other employer The Boar i has also stated that the Brown-t^lds penalty would in clude reimbursement of initiation fees, permit fees and -imilar pavments It is obvious that the Fro:;-n-Ot penaltv would have the most drastic effects on any union found to have violated the union security provi sions of the Act. There was no large scale application of the BrownOids penalty until the latter part of 1957 when the National Labor Relations Board instructed its held of fices that beginning January 1. 1958 settlements and orders in cases involving illegal union security agree ments or practices would have to include a Frown-Olds penalty. The Building and Construction Trades Department made vigorous representations to the Board and its General Counsel against the adoption of such policy After consideration of these representations of the Department, it has been indicated by the General Coun sel of the Board that the full application of the F'-ownOlds doctrine would be postponed from January !. 1958 to June 1. 1958. if. during a period of three months, commencing March 1. 1958. employers and unions who are party to illegal hiring arrangements, vigorously undertake to correct such arrangements by bringing them into compliance with the provisions of the Labor-Management Relations Act of 1947. A copy of the letter from the General Counsel of the National Labor Relations Board, dated February 7. 1958. is en closed for your information. The Building and Construction Trades Department has made it clear to officials of the Board that it does not agree that the Brown-Olds doctrine is legally valid and that it will support and assist litigation intended to secure a final judicial ruling on this subject. The De partment has also made it clear that the fundamental policy of the Department and its affiliated unions is to comply with existing law even though vigorous efforts are made to secure changes in such existing law through the legislative process. The Legal Advisory Committee of the Building and Construction Trades Department, which includes the General Counsel of all affiliated International Unions, has made a careful review of this matter from the legal standpoint. It is the recommendation of the Committee that the Building and Construction Trades Department notify the affiliated International Unions of the situa tion and recommend that the International Unions like wise notify their local unions. The purpose of such communication by the International Unions to the local unions would be to provide information on the BrounOlds problem and to advise such local unions as may not have brought their union security agreements and 2 THE ASBESTOS WORKER f t m. ; ' ".v '..'Ux '.v.th ,aw g, <;w l Hr ! i'.rr.r a- rite r-c-mireiii lain :: : e L^al lie 'h-pi'-itMi:. with";:: tvA v. : Ve :> \ iv.nvauw \\\'[ run \:vz . c' arnrrrca- :wwTti>c :t i- nr. -n:ni' -n run: : : t- in : hr 't-; 'nte**- rile : tumbershir, that the o.,v>' ;tiu-nt uni"!-* '-e n ,/> reimbursement remeu*. : .-ha".-- : aw; ' lb-gal hiring irrangenteir- v v'- unc-.- tv: . untn-tb. *!h' rilled to dix provision- : he \c: :uw.r z ti e fuliv inform ed a- to die -true of :h v !a\v n ::n- ` -eri'M 1 nrior v I UIlv 1, 1"58 1; \v :!! -o warm:i: ::v.

President Building and Construction Trade. Dept. AFL-CIO 815 16th Street. X. W. Washington. D C. Dear Mr. Gray: As you know, the Board, commencing with the Brown-Olds case. 115 XLRB 594. has held that where illegal hiring arrangements exist, either pursuant to a contract or practice, the appropriate remedy, in addition to the usual remedial provisions, requires the reim bursement of all monies, including initiation fees. dues, permit fees, assessments, "dobies." and the like, col lected pursuant to such arrangements. The purpose of the Board in applying the so-called Brown-Olds reim bursement remedy is to effectuate the policies of the Act by. among other things, prevailing upon employers and unions to correct their illegal hiring arrangements. It would be preferable, of course, if the parties took it upon themselves to correct their illegal hiring ar rangements. thereby achieving the same basic purpose sought by the Board but without the necessity of Board action. Such over-all elimination of illegal hiring arrangements, hy voluntary action, would not only help effectuate the purposes of the Act. but would clearly he an important step in the general public interest and in the furtherance of the fundamental rights of em ployees. With this thought in mind, I would like to suggest that during a period of three months, commencing March 1. 1958. employers and unions, who are party to illegal hiring arrangements, vigorously undertake to correct such arrangements bv bringing them into com pliance with the provisions of the Labor Management `On February 5. 195S. the Genera/ Pies' ten's - A-otinnal and International Unions atr.iiatcd teirh the Pudding and Construction Trades Department adopted Pic iollo'ving 10 point policy on working conditions. Following is the complete text or the letter sent to all Local and State Building and Construction Trades Councils detailing this Statement of Policy Dear Sirs and Brothers : A Committee of the Department has been studying complaints from various sources concerning certain al leged practices which have been said to he detrimental to the best interests of the Building and Construction Industry. After full and careful consideration by the Executive Council of the Department, this matter was referred to a meeting of the General Presidents held on Febru ary 5. 1958 in Miami Beach. Florida. At the General President's meeting, the following Statement of Poljcv was adopted : STATEMENT OF POLICY OF THE BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION TRADES DEPARTMENT, AFL-CIO In reviewing various conditions in the Building and Construction Industry, this Department finds that there is need for a statement of policy regarding several mat ters that seem to disturb the basic principles of sound industry-wide relationships. Accordingly, the Building and Construction Trades Department states, as its policy, the following declara tion of principles and recommends strict adherence and cooperation by all segments of the Building and Con struction Trades Industry. 1. The selection of craft Foremen or craft General Foremen, over workmen of their respective crafts, shall be entirely the responsibility of the Employer. 2. The welding torch is a tool of the trade having jurisdiction over the work being welded. Crafts men using the welding torch shall perform any APRIL. 1951 3 - T.vk- and -ita.i u, rrs kran !<.'fe'v.ar.

Following the luncheon recess of the Legi-iative Conference our General Executive Board reconvened at the General Office at 2 p.m Secretary-Treasurer Hoff read telegrams and com munications of well wishes and was instructed to make appropriate replies. Vice President A. L. Hullinghorst requested the privilege of addressing the Board which was granted, after which he did lender his resignation as a Vice President and member of the General Executive Board. President Sickles then placed before the Board the name of A. L. Hullinghorst for their approval as his assistant at a salary of S10.000 a year and exprnses actually expended, which was unanimously approved. At this point Brother Hullinghorst wa= appointed by President Sickles as the reading clerk for this session of the Board. General President Sickles then recognizing the vacancy on the General Executive Board submitted the name of Secretary Brooks Baker of Local No. 22. Houston. Beaumont. Port Arthur. Galveston.

Brother Baker was then called in and acquainted with his appointment, he was then tendered the oath of office and took his seat as a member of the General Executive Board. General Counsel Carlton R. Sickles then ap peared before the Board and briefly reviewed the legal problems that have confronted our International and many of the local unions since our last session, most of which have been disposed of. He advised as to the recent policy of the National Labor Relations Board outlining in detail the future application of the BrownOlds policy with which all of our affiliated local unions have been acquainted by series of communications from the General Office which will appear on the President's page in the April Journal issue for the benefit of our entire membership. These should be read and studied in order to avoid the pitfalls with which our locals could become engulfed should they fail to abide by the future policy of the X.L.R.B. as set forth in these communications. Organizer Ben Green appeared and made report as to our craft conditions in his region and specific assign ments which he has handled under instructions of the General President since our !a*t Board meeting.

Wood River, 111. i Oil Refinery. Maintenance Only i came before the General Executive Board on behalf of certain of the Local Xo. 56 membership to have their jurisdiction extended outside the plant and to take in building con struction, which, if complied with would have confined the territory of Local Xo. 1 to west of the Mississippi River. After the representatives of these two locals were excused the Board gave this petition further consideration and voted the charter extension be "DENIED." President Matthew J. Costello on behalf of Local Xo. 30. Syracuse. New York and Business Agent Harry W. Price. President Arlington L. Price. Jr. and Brother Joseph X'oto. Jr. of Local Xo. 38. WilkesBarre and Scranton. Pa. appeared before the Board in connection with an adjustment of territorial boundaries between these two local unions. After each side had set forth their position and the representatives excused, the Board then voted that this subject matter be referred to President Sickles for further investigation and de cision. The 10 Point Policy as adopted bv the General Presidents of the Building and Construction Trades Department was then read and discussed after which same was approved and endorsed by the Board. This 10 Point Policy will be found printed on the Presi dent's page of the April Journal issue for the informa tion and guidance of our affiliated membership on all work wherever situated. Business Agent Frank Calegory of Local Xo. 69. Salt Lake City.

Pennsylvania which had been previously denied and again submitted to the General Office by the applicants, was after due con sideration voted unanimously "DENIED" which was a reaffirmation of the position previously taken bv the General Executive Board. Business Agent Leslie Johnson of our Connecticut Local No. 33 appeared before the Board in connection with the several present day problems confronting our Connecticut local and was properly advised. He was also advised that President Sickles would, as soon after the adiourning of the Board as possible, endeavor to assist the Joint Trade Board in Connecticut, in bring ing about the signing of an agreement, and advise, and if necessary to instruct, the local as to certain member ship issuances long over-due. Business Agent James Reilly and Brother John J. Corrigan. Jr., of Local No. 3, Cleveland. Ohio came before the Board and made report of the present day conditions and problems confronting Local No. 3. in cluding a request for a detailed territorial map showing territorial jurisdiction over the city of Sandusky. The General Office has. as a consequence, had our Cartog rapher make up a special detailed map of this section of the Country and reproduced thereon the territorial lines making the dividing lines between Local No. 45 and Local No. 3 with respect to Sandusky and this map is now in the possession of these two locals. They were also advised as to the proper procedure for the purpose of constituting compliance with the N.L.R.B. which re quires the submitting of various forms to the N.L.R.B which are available from that office. I A communication of details regarding the filing of these forms will be forwarded to all local unions in the near future.! The General Executive Board on recommendation of President Sickles authorized that in the future in send ing communications of a general nature to all building and construction local unions that this information while not effecting the maintenance and naval shipyard locals directly, would also be sent to these locals for their general information. During the Board meeting General President Sickles made a report to the members on the two outstanding problems of our International, one in New England and the other in the Southeast. He reported particularly on u i."nviu':e ; m thv nr. near tuture and whig:-.. ?::cr 'he meeting t the L>-ard. ha- U-vii terminated, w::.- me -idling of an agreement with die Rhode I-land Cu\ering Contoam.

The books and records of the International were made available to the General Executive Board for the purpose of auditing same and were found to be in the exact amount as reriected by the financial report of the Secretary-T reasurer. White on the question of finance the Genera; Execu tive Board gave serious consideration to and did unani mously vote that beginning with the August Journal issue, a financial statement would appear therein, and each subsequent 6 month period, showing first the total receipts for the first of the year from all sources, includ ing each individual affiliated local union. Second, a statement of expenditures will be listed in detail show ing the salaries and expenses paid, starting with the General President, followed by the General SecretaryTreasurer and through the complete emplovment roster of the International Association for each six month period, as also a break-down of all disbursements and the purposes for which same were made, and the cash balance as on deposit at the end of each six month period. These financial statements will be prepared and approved for publishing by a Certified Public Account ant. Due to the time that may be required for the semi annual audit, the publishing of the above statement for Journal publication, together with other circumstances which have in the past caused delay, the Board further voted that all future Journal issues, starting with the issue following the April Journal will be known as the August. November. February and May Journal issues.- The Board further instructed the Editor of our Jour nal that beginning with this issue the detailed fringe benefits as now appear in the M age Rate listing, will not be listed in the Journal, but we will revert to the original policy of listing hourly Mechanic Wage Rates only. It was found that the listing of fringe benefits through various misunderstandings or failure of the local to properly notify us as to the method of obtaining and disbursing these benefits in detail, was creating more confusion than the advantage to be gained from the listings. Those interested in the details of any local union agreement have only to contact the local union business agent who not only can advise the fringe bene fits as listed in the agreement, but can make any inter pretations as may be desired by either other local union officers or employers requesting said information for estimating purposes. The General Executive Board reviewed the present day status of our Anchorage, Alaska, Local No. 97 and unanimously voted continuance of "probationary status" for an indefinite period. 6 THE ASftESTOS WORKER 1 j 1 TV - - i:::: :va?iv .ippoinied by the > iviati'''!'. iuterf.-if "..i. n\\ - ** 1 -'v.-ral : r . ... : -re-unmencation :o the Referred t" Fre^K1--:-.: S cls.es for m\es:: " ,v: : i.ill Lk-a'-l : the mage- >i "Health Hazard- ' ieciMon. at'.'I -it- - .-V.r ,,.th did report the re- -ui:? <: i:ir hit'kttg. t , .ia:e and the report- of ' -th the-e c< -e ::i .-eticrai i ler.ticai. that 'he materia! -;:!.:v.:fed to .|.re b\ jnr imitated local t:m..:i was -urr.cten: \ iv.m*- recomir.cn.; any definite concir.-;. and 'leci-i-n with the result that :N-e Local No I!.'.

Price, Jr. and Brother Joseph Noto, Jr. of Local No. 38, Wilkes-Barre and Scranton, Pa. appeared before the Board in connection with an adjustment of territorial boundaries between these two local unions. After each side had set forth their position and the representatives excused, the Board then voted that this subject matter be referred to President Sickles for further investigation and decision. President Sickles, after further investigation, finds that the best interest of the industry will be served by maintaining the same conditions of employment for all of our craft work performed in the area in dispute, namely, that portion of the State of New York just north of the Pennsylvania-New York boundary line with in the counties of Chemung, Tioga and Broome, and south of the Local No. 30 and Local No. 38 terri torial boundary line, which will be identical for all members of either Local No. 30, Syracuse, New York, or Local No. 38, Wilkes-Barre and Scranton, Pa. All agreemants negotiated in the future by these two locals will so provide, to wit, that all work performed in the counties of Chemung, Tioga and Broome, south of the territorial boundary line of Local No. 30 and Local No. 38 and north of the Pennsylvania-New York State Line will be performed under the highest conditions of employment, wages, transportation, board al lowance and any fringe benefits as may be in effect by agreement of either of these two locals. The juris diction over all operations performed in this area will rest with the local union in whose territory the shop executing the work is located. In instances where an employer maintaining a shop outside of the territory of these two locals is executing a contract in this area, the local union having jurisdiction over the job will be determined by the General Office.

Crane of Local Xo. 83; Tames Criliey and William Horn berger of Local Xo. 85; Francis L. Joinville and Joseph F. Parker of Local Xo. 88 and being in order were accepted and the delegates seated. The Secretary reported having received the annual assessment from Local Xo. 11. 14. 38. 42. 83. 85, S9 and 100. Delegate Mansfield of Local Xo. 2 reported a membership of 129 Mechanics and 66 Improvers. The entire membership is working aug mented by 85 Travelers. Present work load very good and with a continued volume coming along, the future outlook is very good. Agree ment negotiations have been con cluded with a 40c package increase for one year including a vacation plan. Delegate Zinser of Local Xo. 11 reported a membership of 179 Me chanics and 41 Improvers. Due to adverse weather conditions the pres ent work load is slow. The future outlook is good with hospitals, power houses, schools, apartment houses and the expansion program at Sparrows Point listed for this sear. A new copper refinery is also being erected and will be ready for our craft in 1959. He also reported having difficulty with the metal worker over the welding of studs on tanks for the retention of insula tion and metal protective covering. Our craft is now proceeding with this work. Delegate Haas of Local Xo. 14 reported a membership of 252 Me chanics and 72 Improvers. Present conditions are only fair with two oil jobs carrying the work load. Yerv little commercial work is go ing on at present. Full employment for the next quarter is expected as a pinion of commercial vmmg off the hooks Delegate Hovle of Local X" 2reported a membership of 155 Me chanics and 34 Improver-. Pre-ent conditions are fair to good. The weather has been a factor in their employment. The future projects look good with a number of govern mental projects, some commercial work and two power houses coming along. Delegate Springie of Local Xo 32 reported a membership of 225 Mechanics and 75 Improvers Pres ent work load is very good with 52 Travelers supplementing the mem bership. The future outlook for the next six months seems good but a slow-up may then be experienced due to a slow period by the related crafts in the area. Picket lines as established by other crafts in the area have also effected the member ship to a degree. Delegate U'ardel! of Local Xo. 42 reported a membership of 60 Me chanics and 20 Improvers Present conditions are only fair with nothing of any size listed for the near future. Some additional work at the Tide water Oil plant is expected about May and this will improve condi tions somewhat. He also repotted that the "Right to Work" bill in committee in the State Legislature has been tabled and it will necessi tate eighteen votes to bring this bill out of committee. Delegate Gotwalt of Local Xo. 65 reported a membership of 34 Mechanics and 8 Improvers. Pres ent conditions slow as the large jobs are rapidly nearing completion. A large portion of construction work in the area is going non-union and this condition will be a deter mining factor in their future em ployment. A power house job in Hagerstown. Maryland is expected in a few months. Also in the distant future a power house at Brunners Island is expected. He also reported that a school in the area is being heated electrically. Delegate Price of Local Xo 38 reported a membership of 20 Me chanics and 7 Improvers. Present work load good although mostly of the small type variety. Enough of a work load is expected for the future to keep their membership at work for the balance of the vear.

Various problem? were discussed relating to individual locals. It seem; that each local has problems that vary considerably from its sister locals. On the basis that our problem; must be brought before management to help eliminate the cause of these problems, a motion was made, seconded and carried that the secretary write to the Presi dent of the Associated Insulation Contractors of the Western States and call upon them to be more in sistent that the work of our trade get the proper assignment when specifications and contracts are drawn which involve our trade. The discussion involved the fol lowing parts of our trade: Z-crete. Gilsulate. accoustical duct lining, exterior lining of ducts, under ground insulation problems relative to waterproofing and the BurgessManning system of overhead radiant heat. The health hazards of the trade' were discussed and Local No. 16 presented its case relative to the "vital capacity tests" given through its health and welfare program. This "vital capacity test" system was introduced by Brother Av of Local No. 20 two years ago at our meet ing in Seattle. The results are verv startling and should be the concern of each member of our trade. The possibilities of getting a pen sion program set up on a Confer ence basis was discussed at great length. Several of the Conference locals have done a lot of prelimi nary work on pensions. It was felt that each local should gather all of its information and wishes of its members by September 1. 1958, and then send this information to the Conference Secretary.

A motion was made, seconded and passed allowing the Host Local S500 toward the expense of the Conference: this is to include the present conference. A motion was made, seconded and passed raising the wages of the Secretary and Treasurer to S100 per year. A motion was made, seconded and passed that the conference retain its present officers. Brother Earl Kirkland was nominated to fill the vacancy of the Second Vice President. Brother Kirkland re ceived a unanimous vote. The officers of the Western States Conference of Asbestos Workers are as follows: Chairman. A. E. Hutchinson; first Vice President, Frank Calegory; second Vice Presi dent. Earl Kirkland: Treasurer, Webster Av: and Secretarv, I. W. Kelly. A motion was made, seconded and passed that if an officer of the conference vacates his chair, the seniority clause be put into force. Delegate Morse of Local No. 16 requested the privilege of being host for our next conference meet ing. There being no objection, San Francisco will be the city in which the next conference will be held. At this time the members present stood in silence for our departed Brothers.

This suggestion was placed in the form of a motion, motion carried.

The Conference meeting re, ---el at 12.30 for luncheon tendered y Tampa Local No o7 Mawr Xuk Kuccio of Tampa was a Tuner guest and gave the delegate.- ami visitors of the Southeast States c-in ference a verv cordial welcome to Tampa. He gave a verv brie: re port on the potentiality nt- future construction work irt Tampa, and invited each one back at some future date along with their famines as visitors are nlwnvs welcome in Tampa. Conference meeting reconvened at 1 :30 p. m. Several locals invited the Con ference to have our next meeting in their cities, but it was decided that as Atlanta was probably the most centrally located city that we would have at least every other meeting there, so the next Southeast States Conference meeting will be held in Atlanta. Ga. President Sickles reported there was S4.296.93 left over in the As bestos Workers Convention Fund from our International Convention and inquired as to what our Con ference wanted to do with their share of the money. It was finally decided that the money would be prorated and given to each local ,n accordance with the number of men on whom the assessment was paid. The General Office who has since the dose of the Convention been custodian of the fund will make up and send checks to each of the affili ated local unions in the exact amount of refund to which they are entitled and a complete statement of the disposition of the fund will be mailed to the Conference Secretaries for their files and future reference. It is recommended by delegates of the Conference that this money he set aside by the local to start a fund for delegates' expenses to the next Convention. President Sickles gave a very in teresting talk on some of the prob lems that'are confronting our locals over the country, particularly the laws pertaining to the hiring and laying off of men, stressing the seri ousness of this and that we should use every precaution in our dealing with this problem, in order that we might not find ourselves in a lawsuit.

Delegates from Local Xo. 10 re ported work good at present with need for a few Travelers: future looks good but a little uncertain; also reported on Improver problem and was advised by President Sic kles. Delegates ironi Local Xo. 21 re ported that work had held up fairly well during usually slack season with work fair at the present; future seems fair, depending on how work breaks rather than the amount of work. Delegates from Local Xo. 22 re ported work very good at the pres ent with many Travelers used ; work may level off shortly, however, and an impending strike by other crafts makes it necessary for Travelers to call the local before showing up for employment. Delegates from Local Xo. 53 re ported work very good at the pres ent with many Travelers used; fu ture also looks very good with sev eral multi-million dollar projects to start, some of which are Board and others Travel jobs; Local X'o. 53 is now negotiating on contract.

South west Conference concurred with this idea unanimously. President Sickles illustrated the need tor having Brother Hullinghorst to help him by giving a de tailed account of several serious troubles developing in different parts of the country at the same time. He said that the time required to do these problems justice made it impossible for him to handle the jobs alone. He added that, although his office seldom contributes to cre ating a bad local problem, he is forced at times to make decisions which are unpopular even to him in order to avert a more unpleasant situation in the long run. Business Agent. Kelly of San Francisco drew a word of praise front President Sickles for his most complete submission of facts on a jurisdictional case. He said that the presentation of our claim was great ly aided by Brother Kelly's excel lent report. The AFL-CIO ten point policy recently adopted was explained by President Sickles as related to our craft. He further emphasized the necessity of our strict compliance with the ten point program as well as all laws of the land. He dwelt at length on the dangers to labor as posed by the Brown-Olds case.

Oil the question of duct lining the ke\ phrase "primary purpose" should prevail on settling an\ dif ference which may arise. It was made clear that the Gen eral Office will support any proven charges concerning inferior work manship hut that any petty or un warranted charges will not be sup ported. Charges of this nature should go before the Joint Trade Board. Several delegates with problems peculiar to their locals were in structed to confer with President Sickles after the meeting.

The youngsters are on their own: and so, after twenty-odd vears, are you! Now is the time to think of yourselves--your pleasures, your security, your eventual retirement. A good time to start putting part of your savings away in safe, sure, United States Savings Bonds. Where nothing can touch your principal. And where your money earns 3'A^c when bonds are held to maturity. Series E Bonds grow in value, year by year--and Series H Bonds pay you interest twice a year. Whichever you choose, start your bond program today! When financial independence counts, count on U. S. Savings Bonds! U IU V t il i. A | | | i I ft L The L\ S.
