The television transmission toW' was originally erected by member* of Local 808, Orlando, Florida^ 1969 and proved structurally sound. However, two years ago the owners decided to place a side-mount an tenna on the tower and contracted a small, non-union company to`do' the work. | For reasons that are not entirely Vice-President Robert E.

California's Oroville Dam oir Feather River has recently uiii! gone substantial modifications t< two main intake structures, work was accomplished under contracts issued by the Califo'i Department of Water Resoi PMI Corporation of Sacramei California. Iron Workers from Sacramei Local 118 performed the work 3 quired for the replacement of trashracks and stabilizer assembliei on the intake structures. Field mstallation had to be accomplish^ when the dam's 3.5 million acre feel reservoir was at optimum levels and' when the dam's power requirements^ were at the lowest load. The intake! structures are designed to protect^ the dam's vital generating units.! This meant that the old racks had] to be removed and new ones installed, one at a time, in order tii prevent debris from entering the generating units and causing dam age. The task was indeed formidable. Units were replaced above and be low water level to depths of 21" feet by Iron Worker crews. The div: ing work was especially critical ana was frequently monitored by video tape via a closed circuit system in stalled in the primary support vesj sel. Iron Worker peak crew size on the work numbered 21 men. In con-j junction with the diving work, heli copters. barge-mountt a lot of Iron Worker "know-how"M were required to get the job done.

The Union Security Fund of Locals 40, 361, and 417 of New York has published a 36-page magazine entitled "A Reason for Tears," a thorough study of drug abuse among young people. The Board of Trustees noted: "We have made this journal available to you out of our concern for the widespread abuse of drugs among young people from all walks of life." The publication was done in conjunction with H.E.L.P. Publishers of North Bergen, N.J. The initials stand for "Help Educate Loyal Parents." A second publication, IWEA JOURNAL, is a monthly newsletter published by the Iron Workers Employers Association of Washington, D.C., to establish an open line of communication between all persons involved in erection and fabrication. The four-page newsletter is edited by John J. McMahon of Beltsville, Maryland. He says: "Our object is to offer a Forum for the distribution of technical information to further the best interests of the industry; and to promote the use of the highly skilled tradesmen we employ, in harmony with all other building tradesmen." Villiams and Javits Introduce Workers' Compensation Standards W&r 'it V-: A bill designed to strengthen state workers' compensa tion programs has been introduced in the U.S. Senate as the National Workers' Compensation Act of 1975, The bill number is S.2018. Purpose of the bill is to establish a comprehensive system of workers' compensa tion benefits nationwide and to meet the need for a uniform system of minimum benefits for workers and their families who suffer work-related illnesses or deaths. The bill was Introduced by Democratic Senator Harrison Williams of New Jersey, Chairman of the r ... Si i Workers' Compensation (Continued) Senate Labor and Public Welfare Committee. RepufiJ Jacob Javits of New York, ranking minority member!) the Committee, is a cosponsor. Major standards which would be established by thf Williams-Javits bill are: Coverage: No exclusions based on number of employe! or type of employment. 'V^| Benefits: No limitations on total benefits; minin payments equal to 50 per cent of the state's averagS wage, but not more than the injured worker's waget benefits of not less than two-thirds of the worker!! wage subject to an ultimate maximum of 200 per cenlE the state's average wage. Services: Worker's choice of his own doctor; all necessary medical and rehabilitation services ; addiU tion of attorney's fees to an award where the clai has been successful in an appeal. Inflation Protection: Periodic adjustment of benefif for those already receiving benefits to reflect increases in average wages and benefit levels. Senator Williams noted in introducing the bill thal it is designed to implement the recommendations of'jtnj National Commission on State Workers' Compensation' Laws. The Commission was authorised by the Williams]! Steiger Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1971.41 Commission members surveyed state laws and found mcist state programs totally inadequate to meet the needs'^ injured workers and the families of workers killed onf the job. The bill has been referred to the Committee on Labor and Public Welfare. Germany Pledges Aid to Construction Industry Although West Germany has only one-tenth the number, of unemployed construction workers as the U.S., the German government announced that $2.3 billion would be pumped into the construction industry. A government spokesman estimated that such a massive public works construction effort would have a multi-]|j plying effect in related industries two to three times greater than the $2.3 billion. In addition, with more| construction workers earning a wage, predictions are;|| favorable that there will .be significant reductions in unemployment benefits and an increase in badly- ^ needed tax revenues. NLRB Toughens Organizing Rules Employers illegally blocking union organizing drives ;Jjjj may find their unfair labor practices costlier under^ a new National Labor Relations Board ruling. The NLRB in a 4-to-l decision ruled that remedial orders against employers found guilty of refusing to"J recognize or bargain with a union take effect the M date the unfair labor practices began. Previously, the bargaining remedy order took effect on the date of the board's decision, allowing employers to profit by continuing their unfair laborf practices during lengthy NLRB proceedings and courtf! appeals. \ C ./> 'iff E&Z&tg>t? D OF A SERIES kan Issues Forum [ontinues mphosls on ills Darlorniinn ^OV-UT/O/^ /;>6 -1916 Iron Workers continue their vr safer working conditions. ; is one historical document .aims safety is a right, not -eiv a luxury. The Declaration of ndence. which the American Forum takes up beginning '.'.'ber 28. mentions safety at the : '(this key passage: hold these truths to be selfthat all men are created that they are endowed by r Creator with certain unalien< rights. that among these are . liberty and the pursuit of liap'css--That to secure these rights, cmments are instituted among deriving (heir just powers from consent of the governed, that \n ever any form of government comes destructive of these ends, it the right of the people to alter or abolish it. and to institute new '''eminent laying its foundation on wh principles, and organizing its "vers in such forms, as to them ':'ll seem most likely to effect their rety and happiness." These are rather strong words 'r us today, as two recent experi ments have shown. In a test-run sur'v in Pennsylvania, where the Decition was written and signed, ibout half the people surveyed ound it "too radical" to sign them- m "a** selves. The executive director of the Bicentennial Commission of Penn sylvania noted: "If you sit down and read it. you'll find it's a pretty revolutionary document." In another experiment, the most extensive of its kind, the People's Bicentennial Commission found that 68 percent of the Washington gov ernment workers refused to endorse a typed copy of the key passage above. One bureaucrat said: "It's from the Communist Manifesto. I read it in a history book." Another person said he couldn't sign that or anything, because he wasTn military service. Most bureaucrats found it "too radical." Of the 2.300 federal government workers surveyed, the largest per centage refusing to sign the docu ment came from the Department of Defense (79.4%) and Agriculture (78.7% ). The largest of those who did agree to sign came from Con gress (45.5% ) and the Department of Health. Education and Welfare (45.5%). Nevertheless, the Declaration of Independence remains an inspira tion of free men and women every where. Interestingly enough, the Declaration was adopted by 12 of the 13 colonies in 1776, and New York adopted it later. A brave de nunciation of slavery was deleted from the final version, due to pres sure from Southern slaveowners and Northern shippers. And it was actu ally published on July 2, not July 4. John Adams wrote: "The second day of July, 1776. will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. It ought to be commem orated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Al mighty." Now why did these people, in this land, seek independence to begin with? This month we shall be con cerned with the freedoms that the new Republic guaranteed to its citi zens and which affect our everyday lives as Americans. Or are supposed to! "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalien able rights. . . So read the Dec laration of Independence. Yet all through our history, it has proved harder than it might seem to define and defend these rights. Some of our most fundamental freedoms were not initially written into the Constitution, and even today, the exercise of our basic freedoms is a matter of debate, regularly con tested in our courts. Are some of us more equal than others? If lib erty and duty, rights and responsi bilities go hand in hand, how unfet tered can freedom be? iCTOBER, 1975 ,-I-(% INDOOR OUTDOOR RRIVIBLIlUGS "The Only Safe Iron Worker Is A Tough One" 1 Sparring with Max Baer, world heavy weight champion in 1934, Carmen Barth boxed six world champions in his career. Round Eight. Carmen Barth sud denly freshened up from the pound ing blows of Ray Actis who floored him in the second round of their "grudge'' match. Actis had won a decision from Barth in an earlier match. While Barth was seeing stars, he had a bunch of them in his corner, the likes of Clark Gable. George Raft. Mae West and Louie Prima. Barth recovered enough to floor Actis in the tenth round for a 7count and went on to win the match in Hollywood. California. One paper reported: "Barth, the dead tnan. had won the decision." That was 1937. Today. Carmen Barth is an Iron Worker from Local 17, Cleveland, proud of his past and proud of his trade. In more than 300 amateur and professional fights, he was never seriously hurt. Having won the amateur welter weight championship of Ohio, Car men Barth went on to win the Golden Gloves Middleweight Cham pionship and an Olympic Gold Medal in 1932 by knocking out a heavily-favored Argentine fighter. For the next 12 years. Carmen Barth became a leading middle weight champion contender and played roles in a number of movies, including Clark Gable's "San Fran cisco." As a favorite of many Holly wood stars, Barth worked with James Dunn, the famous actor, 'J boxing roles in movies. '! I In order to "get away from box-! ing." he joined the Navy in 1941, and developed a winning boxing- team for Alameda Naval Air Sta- tion in California. After discharge he refereed Golden Gloves boxen in Cleveland and joined Local 17. Today, he and his wife. Madeline, | have three children.

She writes: "I feel some concern as many of your ladies may not understand what "whey" is. With the exception of those who patronize health food stores, some may have trouble find ing the dried whey in their area. For this reason I have put together a somewhat comprehensive paper which tells about whey--how to use it and why. I would like to send this to your ladies, the only charge being to cover postage and handling-- $.25. In addition to telling about whey, it includes some recipes, many of which can be used by those ladies who make their own cheese and cottage cheese and thus have their own liquid whey. The paper is titled: "Usage of Whey in Home Prepared Foods and Its Nutritional Implications." "You may be interested in this paper as it points out the gross wasteage of whey not only nation ally, but worldwide. At a time of food shortages it seems to me to be a travesty of human ignorance dumped down the drain and pour into public sewage systems, streams, or onto open grounds ] is estimated that one cheese facta producing 250,000 litres of wh per day can pollute as much w<n as a city of 50,000 inhabitants.)

Purpose of the survey, govemnent spokesmen explain, was to develop for the first time a statisti cally accurate estimate of the extent >f the fire problem in American households -- which now number about 70 million. Of the 5.575.000 arcs. 4.547.000 started in the home and the remainder occurred in vaca tion homes, automobiles, boats and other buildings on private property. NEVER hang a cord over a nail: wrap it around a pipe or bedstead, fasten it to the woodwork. Damaged insulation can cause a fire. NEVER use defective switches of any kind. NEVER permit floor lamp cords to be hidden under rugs or to be stepped on--insulation is not made for this abuse. NEVER use appliances when cords become worn and frayed. NEVER use larger than 15 ampere plug fuses for lighting circuits unless you are certain your house has been wired with larger No. 12 wire throughout. Never use larger than 20 ampere fuses in any event. NEVER use any substitute for a fuse such as a penny, tinfoil, etc.-- remember fuses protect against over load. NEVER have any electrical wiring The survey also revealed that or other repairs done except by 326.000 persons were injured in Union electricians. .ires during the year and, of that' NEVER use any type of electrical number. 141.000 were injured in appliances while in the bathtub-- residential fires. Property loss was severe shock can result. estimated at SI.5 billion. NEVER use small heaters, not in The leading ignition source was round to be appliances in 3.5 mil lion cases, including gas stoves (360,000), electric stoves (855.000), and television sets (196,000). Food and grease were involved in 1.8 million of the 3.5 million appliance fires. The next most common ignition source was electrical wiring in 435.000 cases, of which 167,000 occurred in the home. Cigarettes tended for the purpose, to vaporize inhalants. NEVER operate a switch while free hand is resting on a metal stand, pipe or other metal. NEVER string extension cords through doorways or fasten them to woodwork--injured cords are dan gerous. NEVER disconnect appliances by tugging on the cord--grasp plug firmly and pull out gently. NEVER buy unapproved appliances started fires in 365,000 of the inci or wiring--check for the Underwrit dents, and matches, in 248,000 ers Laboratories label, and also if cases. added--look for the Union label. PORTABLE POISONS IN MOM'S PURSE Mothers and doting aunts could be responsible for giving small tots access to dangerous and potentially fatal poisons. The National Safety Council reports a recent survey conducted in Brooklyn, New York revealed that nearly half of 300 women in terviewed carried medications in their handbags which could be harmful to small children. Most common medication found was aspirin. But others included nerve pills, vitamins, pain killers and diet pills. Eleven percent of the women carried more than one medi cation. DIETING DRIVERS SHOULDN'T DRINK The old advice. "If you drink, don't drive." can now be expanded to "If you diet and drink, especially don't drive." Dr. J. McLaughlan of the Cana dian Department of Health notes that most low-calories diets don't include cocktails. However, many dieters who cut down on food intake neglect to reduce their liquor con sumption accordingly. Dr. McLaughlan warns that it takes only one and half ounces of liquor to make a low-calorie dieter too drunk to drive. LEAVING THE "-HOUSE FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME? Use this check list to save on utility bills. __ Turn off water heater. If you have an electric unit, you can disconnect by throwing circuit breaker to "off." If gas water heater, you can put it on "pilot" as this prevents the water from heating. __ Turn off the thermostat to be sure neither heat or central air condition ing will cut on. __ Unplug window airconditioners. __ Unplug television sets. "Instant on" models use energy 24 hours a day even when off. __ If an extended period, maybe you will want to clear out the refrigera tor and tum it off.

''if - : *y -: * yt Safety Nets in 1915 Members of Local No. 1 served as deputies in 1915 to enforce Illinois' new construction safety law, dubbed "a new departure in the erection of steel structures, a device for the protection of and safety of iron workers and other mechanics on high arched buildings where a slip or some other unforeseen accident is liable to cause a man to fall and be injured or killed. There have been many accidents of this nature in the past and there will be many more unless contractors are com pelled by law to make such safety provisions." -ft m j.-nued from inside front cover ^niiuee and to coordinate safety activities * emailv .ithin our industry. Retired General 'easurer Cole was the first chairman of this \monai Iron Worker Safety Committee. This ..mmittee. which in addition to the above on v National Committee includes General Orr.mzers Clarkson and Puchalski. became in.ej>ingi- active each succeeding year in devel op..* a: _ promoting methods, material and T-xadurjj tor the improved safety of our trade. Five years ago. it was decided not only to a\e our committee continue its previous ac uities but to serve as the representative of our rcanization with a similar committee of iron worker ;~.pioyers for the structural, ornamen~i. rige:.'.; and reinforced steel portions of our ruustr.. One of the activities of the Committee to assist in our ability to deal with the ques tion of safety by studying the number and types '( on-the-job accidents reported to us each nonth. In looking over the reports of on-the-job xcider.ts of Iron Workers. I find that the ma:rity outside workers who lost their lives in tne pa^c twelve months died as a result of slips ttfid falls. Other major causes of death included *ron Workers being killed by falling material ^nd electrocution. In the shop division, it ap pears that most deaths are caused in the han ging of materials, machine guarding and elec trocution. The disability claims over the past twelve ^onths show much the same patterns. The ma)nty of disabling injuries for outside Iron Workers resulted from slips and falls. Falling objects also resulted in a significant number of ^juries. These reports are distressing to anyone con^rned about life and limb, especially in a trade where danger is a constant enemy. Although we cannot eliminate the hazards of the work place. each and every one of us can minimize these dangers through constant vigilance and thorough knowledge of safety procedures. Those local unions which have set up sepa rate safety training programs for the purpose of teaching safety to job stewards have found our apprenticeship safety training manuals invalu able. We have been urging all local unions to set up safety training committees, to design courses of safety instructions and to coordinate and implement those courses in whatever is deemed the most appropriate method. While these are effective ways for improving safe job conditions, the safety consciousness of each in dividual Iron Worker still remains the most ef fective way to avoid injuries or death. While the Occupational Safety and Health Adminis tration can indeed protect the rights of individ ual workers through their job steward to de mand safe working conditions without fear of discrimination or retaliation, it should in no way minimize the fact that safety consciousness of each individual Iron Worker remains the high est priority. Safety consciousness means not only to avoid risks to one's self but to continu ously keep in mind that each Iron Worker has the potential of causing a serious disabling in jury or death to other Iron Workers or other building tradesmen. i !!
