COPY SHOULD BE AT THE OFFICE NOT LATER THAN THE ISTH DAY OF JANU- ARY. APRIL. JULY. OCTOBER About Your Cover America made space age history early this month when it sent Alan B. Shepard. Jr.. 115 miles into space to become the first American to blaze a trail into the cosmos. This modest first-step hailed around the world, not so much tor the magnitude of its accomplishment, but for the open-handed manner in which our country launched Its first man in space. Nothing was con cealed from the inquiring eyes of the press and thus we were willing to risk possible embarrass ment and humiliation had our efforts met with failure. This is only as it should be in a democra tic society. Our cover this month and a store beginning on page 12 describing a recent visit oi our President and Secretary-Treasurer to a mis sile base is especially timely in view of Com mander Shepard's historic 15-minute space flight. (In our cover we see another instrument in our Nations space cupboard--the TITAN missile. Currently the TITAN is performing a much less glamorous but unfortunately necessary job--that of protecting the peace. Currently the.TITAN's two-stage 380,000 thrust rocket engines are being utilized solely as America's first line of defense. At strategic locations around the country, this missile is constantly on "the ready" to launch warheads at any aggressor who threatens the safety and security of this Nation. The reason for the rockets existence is to serve notice on any potential enemy that we will destroy them if at tacked. In the language of the Cold War this missile is serving as a "deterrent" to war. If the TITAN accomplishes this mission, then it will have been worth all the tremendous amounts of money and time that has been spent on its devel opment.

INC. 17 UNION MADE PAPER From the General President SUPREME COURT The Supreme Court of the United States on April 17, 1961 handed down two decisions which vitally affect the everyday lives of all the members of this International Union. On that day the Supreme Court overruled the National Labor Relations Board's decisions in the Brown-Olds Mountain Pacific cases, thereby upsetting the powder keg on which we have been living for the past few years. Both of these cases have been the subject matter of much correspondence between the International and its affiliated local unions and were covered in previous issues of the Asbestos IVorker (April, 195S and November, 1958j. BROWN-OLDS The Brown-Olds case applied to the building trades unions the remedy which required that when found guilty of maintaining an ille gal closed shop, the union (and em ployers) must pay, not only the damages to the individual employee discriminated against, but also must refund to all employees covered by the agreement all dues, assessments and other charges collected from the period starting 6 months prior to the date a charge was filed. This extreme remedy has been harmful because it has been costly in many instances, and the mere threat of it has been a cause to settle doubtful cases because of the extreme cost in volved should the complainant be upheld. The Supreme Court, in overrul ing this doctrine in the case of Local 60 Carpenters v. NLRB, held that the order was punitive rather than remedial and, therefore, was not within the power of the National Labor Relations Board unless there is evidence that the union member ship was induced, obtained or re tained in violation of the National Labor Relations Act. Note that the remedy is not out lawed completely, but it can only apply in a case where it is shown that the individuals have actually been induced or coerced into join ing the union. MOUNTAIN PACIFIC The Mountain Pacific Case pro vided that a hiring hall agreement would be discriminatory on its face unless the agreement specifically in cludes the following: ". . . (1) Selection of applicants for referral to jobs shall be on a non-discriminatory basis and shall not be based on, or in any way affected by union membership, by laws, rules, regulations, constitu tional provisions, or any other aspect or obligations of union membership, policies or require ments. (2) The employer retains the right to reject any job applicant referred bv the Union. (3) The Parties to the agreement post in places where notices to employees and applicants for em ployment are customarily posted, all provisions relating to the functioning of the hiring arrange ment, including the safeguards that we deem essential to the legality of an exclusive hiring agreement. . . ." You will recall that the General Counsel of the NLRB added that the actual objective standards used as a basis for referral must be spelled out in the written agreement In overruling this case, the Supreme Court held, in the case of Local 357 Teamsters v. NLRB, that the Board was legislating, which it did not have authority to do, and that it could not merely use the ab sence of these safeguards to deter mine that a hiring arrangement was illegal. The collective bargaining agreement in the case before the Supreme Court had a clause in it which provided that referral lists would be maintained by the union independent of whether an employee is a member or not. The court held that this clause could not be ignored and further that it would be neces sary that actual discrimination be proven. Note the decision does not sanc tion the operation of a luring hall which discriminates based upon union membership. It is also clear that while there is no duty to follow the Mountain Pacific standards, any such hiring agreement should speci fically prohibit discrimination on account of union membership. EFFECT It is too soon to fully realize all the implications of these two deci sions, and the entire subject matter will, no doubt, be subject to further litigation in the Board and possibly in the Supreme Court. However, as this matter develops, the Interna tional will continue to inform our affiliated local unions of major developments. MAY, 1961 i General Executive Board, Annual Session THE 1961 annual session of the General Executive themselves and their activities in connection with work Board convened at 9:30 A. M. at the Willard Hotel, ing conditions and normal Union activities in a busi Washington, D. C., Monday, March 20. Those presentness-like manner. and answering roll call were: General President C. W. Business Agent C. C.

Hulling- peared before the Board in connection with a dispute horst and William Howell; and International Or ganizer John W. Hoff. (Vice President Hugh E. Mulligan was not in attendance at the Board meeting due to illness in the family. Vice President Michael H. Nicols had been excused from the opening day session in order to attend a meeting of the National Pro ductivity Committee to which he had been named by Prime Minister Diefenbaker of Canada.) Immediately following the roll call the Board voted to recess to proceed to the Sheraton Park Hotel and attend the opening session of the Seventh Annual Legis lative Conference of the Building and Construction Trades Department at which we had a total of 48 Asbestos Workers in attendance. Following the luncheon recess of the Legislative Con ference our General Executive Board reconvened at the General Office at 2 P. M. President Dave McCoy and Business Agent Frank A. Bishop of IPW No. 2, Barberton, Ohio appeared be fore the Board and discussed the affairs of their local. President Sickles counseled with them and agreed to take up their problems with the Local No. 84 delegates at the coming Central States Conference meeting in Detroit on April 29, 1961. between the two locals and after listening to repre sentatives of both locals the case was referred to President Sickles for further investigation and decision. The Board listened to reports from the representa tives of the New York-New England and Middle Atlantic States Conferences in which they furthered their previous request for the privilege of sponsoring the next 1962 Convention of our International to be held in Atlantic City, N. J., advising that an assessment of $10.00 per member had been placed on their mem bership to defray expenses incidental thereto. As a consequence of the practically unanimous vote of all of the locals of these two Conferences the Board agreed to their request, officially designating the city of At lantic City, N. J. as the Convention City for the holding of our 20th Convention starting Tuesday, September 4, 1962. The Board considered the subject matter of "Decals" for use on all prefabricated work done in our shops by our membership and these will be available for distribu tion to all local unions in the very near future. A de tailed letter will be forwarded all local unions when same are ready for distribution. Attorney Joseph A. Sickles, on behalf of our General The Secretary-Treasurer presented his financial re Counsel Carlton R. Sickles, reported on our legal port. President Sickles recommended to the Board an problems. increase in the salary of International Assistant Howell The General Office over the past few months has been informed of certain difficulties in the Denver, Colo rado territory and the Genera] President had instructed the Business Agent to appear before the Board to answer these various charges.

It considered the daily allowance paid Board members and voted to revert back to the $35.00 per day as called for in the International Con stitution. The Board also reviewed the volume of work of the General Counsel and in light of the increase in work caused, among other things, bv the passage of the Landrum-Griffin Act, recommended to the Presi dent that the retainer of the General Counsel be in creased from $12,000 to $16,000 per year.

A request from Local No. 125, Chattanooga, Tenn. for extension of their charter was discussed and re quest was denied. The subject matter of Health Hazards was discussed and President Sickles reported on the possibility of an earlv meeting with people connected with the Medical Association for the purpose of running various tests on certain materials used by our membership in order to determine the extent of their contribution to lung can cer. silicosis, asbestosis, tuberculosis, etc. The Code of Workmanship was discussed and no changes in the current Code were recommended at the present time by the Board. The General Executive Board held a special "open house" for all local union representatives in the city attending the Seventh Annual Legislative Conference of the Building and Construction Trades Department. President Sickles reported on issues confronting our In ternational at the present time and then answered questions posed by the representatives attending this "open house." One of the issues discussed was the application of the Davis-Bacon Act for predetermining wage rates for federal construction and the delegates were advised to check in their communities and be sure to make proper filing of their agreements with the state and political sub-divisions, many of which have adopted a com parable system of setting up wage rate predetermina tions for state, county or municipal construction work.

The affair was held in conjunction with a meeting of the Central States Conference. Adding impact to both was the presence of President C. W. Sickles and Secretary-Treasurer Albert E. Hutchinson. A feature of the din ner-dance was the presentation of a 50 year diamond lapel pin to George Martens, the only known surviving charter member, who along with six other pioneers was presented the original charter for Local No. 25 on April 26. 1911. Gold pins were presented to other members, whose seniority with the local ranged from 30 to 50 years. The banquet was opened with a brief address of welcome by Mayor Louis C. Miriani following an in vocation by Father Clement Kern. President Sickles outlined the history of the Asbestos Workers, formally known as the International Association of Heat and Frost In sulators and Asbestos Workers. In addition, he congratulated Lo cal No. 25 on its glowing achieve ments over the past 50 years and added his thanks to the pioneers, who had made such progress pos sible.

AFL-CIO President George Meany told the delegates that "America's number one domestic problem today is unemployment." He added that "our nation must be the leader of the free world against the forces of despotism and slavery" but that "America must have a healthy economy if it is to exercise this leadership " The AFL-CIO leader presented to the delegates what he called the "stark, naked facts." He said that if we were merely to hold our own --and this meant keeping the 5.5 million unemployed--we must find 25,000 new jobs a week. Meany stressed that the Congress is closely divided between liberals and conservatives and that even with a liberal President "who gives even' indication of fighting for the issues he promised during the cam paign" the picture is not bright. President Kennedy has set up five top-priority economic measures: depressed areas, minimum wage, housing, education, and medical care THE ASBESTOS WORKER BCTD President Neil Haggerty congratulates AFL-CIO President George Meany after the latter ad dressed delegates.

To date two have passed both houses of Congress and several are still buried in committee. In a message to the conference, Kennedy paid tribute to the build ing tradesmen: "I deeply believe your annual conferences play a most important part in the legislative process of our government. It is, in my opinion, most timely that more than three thousand delegates ... are meeting with their respective representatives in Congress, conveying firsthand their ideas and suggestions on the legislative program presently before Congress. 'These are precarious times in the life of our nation both domestic ally and in our efforts to preserve peace, freedom and liberty through out the world. In order to be suc cessful in our efforts, it is of the utmost importance that all groups and individuals lend their assistance to the tremendous task that faces us. "I am deeply thankful that the building tradesmen throughout the United States, once again in time of crisis, have pledged their full and complete cooperation." Secretary of Labor Arthur J. Goldberg, in his speech to the dele gates, advocated an extended pro gram of apprenticeship training in the construction field. "I feel it is imperative that this program be broadened to help pro vide additional training opportuni ties for those in your field who may desire it," he said. "A more liberal and stepped-up apprenticeship train ing program for your industry is an absolute necessity." The Secretary said that it is esti mated that the level of construction activity during the 1960's is ex pected to increase 40 to 50 per cent. He predicted an increase in building trade employees by 1.2 million, for a total of 4.2 milion by 1970. Louis Sherman, general counsel of the Department, told the dele gates that the situs picketing bill is of extreme importance now. He warned that increasing amounts of work is going to nonunion contrac tors because they pay lower wages and thus can make lower bids. Unless union craftsmen have the right to strike on construction sites, he noted, they will have no weapon to combat this pressure on their wage scale. On the final day of the confer ence, delegates reported from the floor on their visits to their Con gressmen and Senators on Capitol Hill. Overall, the concensus was the labor's legislative program is now hanging in the balance in a closely divided Congress. Liberal, pro-labor members of Congress were outspoken in their support of the labor program but conservative Republicans and Southern Democrats were just as emphatic in opposition. In between lies the balance of power--Senators and Representa tives who declared: "I haven't made up my mind"; "I want to study your material a little more" and "I want to hear more from the people back home." Strongest support was expressed for the situs picketing bill and the proposed amendments to the DavisBacon Act. Of the remainder of the department's program, such is sues as minimum wage, medical care for the elderly, aid to distressed areas and housing were decidedly in the undecided category. "Your reports indicate that a great deal more work must be done if we are to have any real progress in legislation," Department Presi dent C. J. (Neil) Haggerty said. Assistant Secretary of Labor Jerry Holleman, a member of the International Brotherhood of Elec trical Workers and former president of the Texas AFL-CIO, said that the legislative picture is "extremely critical." "Let's don't underestimate our opponents or take our friends for granted," he said. "We need every single vote in the Congress." He urged the delegates to return home and have members "write letters to their Senators and Con gressmen in their own words. A letter written by hand in simple terms is worth more than a hundred letters on fancy letterheads and typed by a secretary."

Meany Discounts `Cheery' Forecasts AFL-CIO Pres. George Meany has discounted the expected "cheery predictions that the economic weath er will improve as rapidly as the temperature climbs." Warning that there will be no automatic "thaw," Meany said "that only thoughtful legislation promptly enacted can get the job [of solving the unemployment problem] started. In a signed editorial in the May edition of The American Federationist. official monthly publication of the AFL-CIO, Meany said that official reports reflecting more people working and fewer people idle "just because the weather has improved," will tempt some to "think the worst is over." He warned that continued mass unemployment is a "practical, im mediate and universal problem." The text of Meany's editorial fol lows : "With the arrival of spring, we can expect to read cheery predic tions that the economic weather will improve as rapidly as the temper ature climbs. But will it really im prove ? "One thing is sure, however, the memories of this bitter winter re cession weather, with growing un employment in an ever-increasing number of industries and geograph ical areas, will not soon fade away. "Certainly the official reports of the Dept, of Labor will reflect more people working and fewer people idle --just because the weather has im proved. Those with jobs will be tempted to think the worst is over. "But we in the labor movement must be more realistic. "Even if the Dept, of Labor's figures are more favorable than ex pected, they will still show that some 65 out of every 1,000 American workers cannot find jobs. They will show a continuing "hard core" of close to 2 million workers who have been idle for 15 or more weeks. They will offer little indication that our economy can absorb an addi tional 1.25 million workers a year, on top of the undigested surplus we now have. "Over the last decade we have failed to find jobs for a work-force that has increased by 800,000 a year. What will happen when the annual increase nearly doubles as it will shortly ? What will happen as auto mation continues to put one buttonpusher in the place of 50 or 500 wage earners? "This is no academic problem. It is practical, immediate and uni versal. It concerns the proudest craftsman, smug in his conviction that no machine can touch him; for even if he's right, who will hire his skill ? It concerns the most arrogant industrialist, sure he will be first with the best equipment; for who will buy his products? It concerns the most unworthy scientist, technicians or professional men, for they cannot survive without the backing of a prosperous community. "The day has passed when we can have `aristocrats' safe from the economic disaster of others. Unless our society works it will collapse; and it cannot work unless there is work for all. "There are no islands of security for the favored few, no economic bomb shelters for anyone. We are in this together; and together we must grope our way toward a real and lasting solution. "The rising temperatures will not thaw our economic problem. Only thoughtful legislation, promptly en acted, can get the job started. "And the Congress is not going to act unless it feels a sense of urgency. An aroused citizenry, demanding action from its representatives, is the answer for America today." May. 1961 II President C.

Men toured TITAN missile base complex in vicin ity of Marysville, California. President Sickles and Secretary Hutchinson Tour Titan Missile Base Site CIXTEEN officials of the Building and Construction Trades Department, including President C. W. Sickles and Secretary-Treasurer Albert E. Hutchinson recently vis ited Air Force TITAN' ICBM sites in the vicinity of Beale AFB, Marysville. California. The purpose of the visit was to familiarize the labor leaders with the problems in volved in bringing a missile site into .being. The visit included a tour of TITAN emplacements presently un der construction and briefings by Major General Thomas P. Gerrity, Commander of AMC's Ballistic Missile Center and other key Air Force officers responsible for the management of missile site activa tion. The TITAN is the second Air Force ICBM now in development. An accelerated development and testing phase is nearing successful completion and the first TITAN squadron will become operational next year. Based on flexible design that al lows for future improvement and refinement. TITAN will have a range of at least 6.325 statute miles and a speed of at least 15.000 MPH. The missile is being developed by an integrated Air Force-scientificindustrial team. When the TITAN testing pro gram is completed and the missile becomes operational within the Strategic Air Command, it will be emplaced in underground launching sites which afford maximum protec tion against nuclear attack. First of these sites will be on the Lowry Air Force Base bombing range southeast of Denver. Colorado. Other TITAN sites now under going construction are located at: Larson AFB, Moses Lake, Wash ington; Ellsworth AFB, Rapid City, South Dakota; Mountain Home AFB, Boise, Idaho; Davis-Monthan AFB, Tucson, Arizona; Little Rock AFB, Little Rock, Arkansas; Mc Connell AFB, Wichita, Kansas; Griffiss AFB, Rome, New York. The TITAN was recommended as a second ICBM (Atlas was first) program in 1955 by the Strategic Missiles Evaluation Committee un der the chairmanship of Dr. John von Neumann. Purpose of the TITAN program was to provide a two-stage ICBM, based on projected technical advances, that would carry the heaviest possible payload over the greatest distance. TITAN is being developed by the Air Research and Development Command's Air Force Ballistic Mis sile Division, commanded by Major General Osmond J. Ritland. The Air Materiel Command's Ballistic Missile Center under Major General Thomas Gerrity is responsible for procurement, production, logistics planning and site activation. The Air Force is also developing an advanced model of the TITAN ICBM, capable of carrying a heavier load and with a greatly re duced reaction time. Known as the "TITAN II", this improved weapon system will be equipped with a larger missile which may be launched directly from its 12 THE ASBESTOS WOIKEI Far beloir ground, C. E. Thomp son, Local 16, points to insula tion that surrounds piping in TITADi missile base personnel tunnel. Shown are SecretaryTreasurer Albert E. Hutchinson and Staff Member. underground silo, only a few sec onds after the order to fire is given. This advancement results from the development of a TITAN which can be fueled with storable liquid propellants. Storable liquids will permit the advanced TITAN to be fueled and kept in a ready-firing condition for long periods of time. In addition to these advancements, TITAN II will be directed to its target by a self-contained, all-inertial guidance system. This sys tem. which cannot be jammed by any known method, provides the capability of launching the entire TITAN II force in "salvo". In operation, the rocket engine of the first stage boosts the TITAN to altitude and then shuts off. The first stage then separates from the rest of the missile. The second stage fires next and continues to push the payload to greater altitudes and distances. When the second stage finishes its job, it also separates, from the re-entry vehicle or nose cone The latter follows a ballistic trajectory to its destination. The first flight test TITAN was launched successfully on February 6. 1959. Less than 90 days later, after two more completely favorable test flights, the first attempt to separate the first and second stages in flight was also successful. In the space of less than two years, the TITAN has progressed testwise from the initial flight arti cles to the operational prototype missile with all major subsystems Letter at right teas sent to Presi dent Sickles congratulating him for his part in signing historic directive issued by Building Trades Department which aims at reducing work stoppages at vital missile base construction sites.

At the conclusion of the delegates' reports Secretary Hutchinson spoke on some of the things of interest to our craft which were brought to his attention during his assignments away from the General Office. President Sickles was given the floor and spoke at length advising the delegates on several subjects. He advised that the local union; should check with the General Office for advice on the language to be used in their Agreements in con nection with vacation and pension funds. Also, they should be sure and notify Federal and State Medi ation agencies 30 to 60 days before their Agreements expire to protect the right to strike if such action becomes necessary. He suggested that one way to protect the payment of wages and fringe benefits would be to insert a clause in the Agreement requiring employers to take out a bond cover ing such payments as recommended at the March, 1960 General Execu tive Board session. He stated that it was his con sidered opinion that collective bargaining should be conducted be tween the interested parties from within our industry and lawyers should be called in only to help with the language after the Agreement has been reached. Union officers, he stated, should make sure that the words "prepara tion and distribution of materials" be included in the Article in the Agreement covering our jurisdic tion. Unions should beware of any proposal which would, in effect, limit the Agreement coverage.to a 30 mile radius. A suggestion along these lines, he warned, could be a trap. Several of our locals have been talked into making changes in the model form of Agreement much to their sorrow. He requested that anyone with specific information relative to molded fittings and/or pressed metal covers for fittings, send samples and literature to the Gen eral Office. He made a report on the progress made to date in the talks with the Sheet Metal Workers International. A general discussion was held with various affiliated local delegates out lining their unsatisfactory experi ence in manning jobs for the Buck eye Insulation Co. of Columbus, Ohio. All delegates agreed that they would pay particular attention to future operations being performed by this company and the manner in which they are being executed. It was moved and supported that Local No. 47's request to be the host Local for the Spring, 1962 Conference meeting be granted, this meeting to coincide with their 25th anniversary. Motion carried. The next semi-annual meeting of the Central States will be in the Fall of 1961 in Evansville, Indiana. The exact date will be determined later. There being no further business the meeting adjourned at 1 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Malcolm Detlefs, Secretary P.S. The delegates wish me to ex tend to Local No. 25 their thanks for a most enjoyable evening spent as guests of Local No. 25 at the Local's Fiftieth Anniversary Banquet. 26 THE AStESTOS WONCEt f OFFICIAL DIRECTORY INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF HEAT AND FROST INSULATORS AND ASBESTOS WORKERS Room 505, Machinist* Building HEADQUARTERS 1300 Connecticut Avenue, N.
