THE PRESIDEnT'S PAGE JOHN H. LYONS General President Speech by John H. Lyons, General President of the International Association of Bridge. Structural & Orna mental Iron Workers to the National Safety Council conference awards presentation at the Pick Congress Hotel, Chicago, Illinois: I'm glad to join in this program to convey to you some of the things that are being done by the Labor Movement and within specific industries of the Labor Movement with respect to safety. The Iromvorker Un ion is not new to the subject of safety, because the erection of steel 80 years ago. and before that the erec tion of timbers, is a very hazardous occupation. So hazardous that safety alone was the greatest motivating factor that caused the Ironworker Union to come into existence as an-international union. There were, prior to its formation, quite a number of local unions of bridgebuilders in various parts of the country. Bridgemen as they were called. A bridge collapsed over a river in Kentucky some 80 or so years ago. and that bridge collapse in which 40 men lost their lives was the incentive that brought one Ironworker to the realization that local Ironworker unions had to join together to develop techniques of protecting themselves since there were no other techniques available in any other form. This interest and activity led to the formation of the Ironworker International Union by a call among local unions of various parts of the country to assemble to gether to form a union that could deal more effectively with safety, working conditions, as well as other condi tions, wages, and employment that involved Ironwork ers. So when we talk about safety, particularly that as pect of safety that relates to jobsite injuries and deaths, the issue is an issue that's been part and parcel of our organization from its very inception. The statistics, which are relatively sketchy from that time, indicate that a man who followed our trade had approximately seven working years before he suffered a disabling ac cident that forced him out of the trade, or unfortunately and more seriously the loss of his life. The efforts of our union, and since that time the efforts of other or ganizations who are equally concerned with safety, have led to the fact that our trade now, although still one of the most hazardous trades of any, has a work span parallel and equivalent to the average work span of any worker in any industry. Notwithstanding, we do have a significant number of the 2.200 deaths in the construction industry in the year 1976: 70 were members of this International As sociation and during the first seven months of 1977, 26 of our members were killed in on-the-job accidents. When you consider the fact that in the heavy construc tion industry there have been 2.200 deaths and only 70 of those were Ironworker deaths, this very hazardous trade has become a much safer trade. That, of course, is our objective, and that is obviously the objective of the National Safety Council and the panels of that safe ty council, such as the one we are participating in here today. The causes of accidents for Ironworkers are not too greatly different from the causes of accidents of all workers in the construction industry. Moving objects, falling objects, and tripping over objects are the main causes of death and disabling accidents. The Iron worker trade possibly suffers one more hazard that is not as common to other trades, and that is the disabling accidents caused by shifting loads, because of the heavy weight and awkward shapes of the construction ma terials and equipment objects that we put in place as a part of our construction responsibility and activity. Now. what have we done with respect to facing up to the responsibilities that were originally accepted by the union, as to its responsibility to protect its workers since there were no other responsibilities in the early days? They accepted that responsibility by establishing and developing what we call General Working Rules. This was a list of working rules put together, basically in a manual and distributed among all local unions, that we would not work anywhere in the United States under conditions less than is set forth in our General Working Rules. Obviously, those General Working Rules led to work stoppages, strikes, and other prob lems of construction activities involving our trade, be cause it was the Ironworkers' concept that they were responsible for the safety of the workers. We indeed welcomed, as time went on. the acceptance of the em ployers. who bit by bit. point by point, agreed with us on the issues that we felt were of greatest concern to our trade and our industry. They were accepted when the other unions, who were also following separate, in dependent safety activities within the construction in dustry, put together joint construction safety programs, and then much more recently, with the development and passage of safety regulations by law under OSHA. All of these activities have moved down the road, step by step, to improve the conditions of safety for the Ironworkers on the construction site. Now. as an International Union, what are some of these activities and what do we do within the frame work of these separate and specific activities? First, we Continued on inside back cover Continued from inside front cover with respect to requesting specific regulations to be formed in 1962 the National Ironworkers Safety Com;ttee, which was our first distinct effort as an organi sation to move away from our unilateral position of seeking to develop arid maintain our own safety regu lations. That National Ironworkers Safety Committee then was a vehicle that joined with other ongoing or ganizations to promote safety both within the frame' work of the construction industry and elsewhere as we could. This safety committee joined shortly thereafter the National Building Trades Safety Committee and has played an active role within the framework of that safety committee. written within the framework of our trade, or we go to OSHA jointly and protest specific regulations that OSHA would develop in connection with our trade. I might point out. that while the Ironworkers' trade has become a safe trade, we still carry workmen's com pensation rates in dollars per one hundred dollars of payroll, approximately four times the national average for all industries and three times the national average for the construction industry. That does not necessarily mean that the Ironworkers' trade cannot be made safe, that there is no way to prevent having a greater incident of accidents. It does mean that we are jointly, con That committee is undoubtedly one of the most ef fective national organizations that the Building Trades Department has put together. It is not a committee in name only. It is an active committee that considers every question that is posed to it or brought to its atten servatively working to lower that rate so that we have a lesser ratio of accidents than we currently undergo. However, our trade cannot be completely and at all times safe. There is no way that we can erect structural steel with handrails on the beams. Our men have to tion in any manner or form. It accepts the fact that it has a responsibility to look into safe working opera tions, develop position papers, develop standing com mittees to encourage and generate consistent and on going activities, and take whatever step they deem appropriate to improve safety for all building tradesmen on construction sites. It is indeed a recognition of the fact that the safety of workers in one trade on the con struction site is indeed inter-related with the safety of ; the other workers following other trades on the same construction site. That National Building Trades Safety immittee became the vehicle, under OSHA, to proiulgate and to represent the Building Trades in a more concentrated effort at the national level, putting forth the requirements of the construction industry, j. Shortly thereafter, that committee developed the . National Building Trades Safety and Health Training .. and Education Program for the Construction Industry, . which involves both employer representatives and union representatives. That training program, now only a few ; years old, has already trained some 250 representatives of labor and management in a concentrated training walk those beams, and obviously that is a dangerous activity. We do everything we can to improve the situ ation under which they do work,-so that the walking of those beams is not totally hazardous, and is as safe as possibly can be made within the framework of erecting structural steel beams. We continuously develop and seek to develop regu lations which are applicable to all contractors, union or nonunion, with respect to tying members off at their work point, when such is practical. It's obvious, how ever, that a man moving from one point to another cannot be tied off because if he were tied off by a rope of any length, that rope itself would be more dangerous than the act of walking that beam without any re straints, such as a rope. Obviously, we can erect safety nets only under certain conditions and only in certain locations. Obviously, we can plank on certain types of buildings, at certain levels which we identify to be twostories or thirty feet. We cannot plank every situation in which an Ironworker is not over that planking, such as connecting beams to columns in the perimeter of a structure. When he is making the connection at the top program that requires four weeks of developed class beam, on a three-story column, for example, and he room programs and assignments, and, I believe, as a must swing to the outside, we put up out-rigging. How fore-runner of many more activities that would revolve ever, the erection of out-riggers is sometimes more around that general area of coordinated activities with- dangerous than the erection of structural steel itself. . in any specific industry for improving safety.

While we have many more disagreements than agree TO BE CONTINUED: General President Lyons' ments, as a matter of fact there are many subjects in remarks on occupational health hazards, apprenticeship volving the Ironworkers' trade in which we go to OSHA and training in safety, and technological developments. 1SB5C SI DIE IRONWORKER INTERNATIONAL OFFICERS Official Publication of the International Association of Bridge, Structural and Ornamental Iron Workers 1750 New York Ave., N.W,, Suite 400 Washington, D.C. 20006 Phone (202) 872-1566 Volume 78 FEBRUARY 1978 Number 2 Daniel Union-Busting Termed `Outrageous' An NLRB Judge condemns the anti-union tactics of the Daniel Construction Company, one of the nation's largest open shop operations BCTD Launches Organizing, Political Drives The AFL-CIO Building and Construction Trades Department convention delegates vote to organize non-union firms and re-examine "friends" in Congress LABOR'S NEW AGENDA AFL-CIO convention delegates in Los Angeles consider Jobs, Human Rights and Fair Trade policies Numerical Directory of Affiliated Local Unions District Councils Local Union Directory Wage Scales and Fringes of Outside Locals 8 9 11 27 Tax Tips for Ironworkers Changes in the federal income tax laws may help active and retired Ironworker families Ironworkers Assist in Long Haul Elaborate and precise rigging is required to air-ship a 40-ton magnet halfway around the globe Dam Inspection Finally Funded After many deaths and millions of dollars of damage, the White House and Congress get serious about the inspection of the nation's 50,000 dams 31 32 33 Ironworkers Balance Jobs, Pollution and Energy Ironworker-industry political action keeps EPA in line and saves three badly-needed power projects 34 DEPARTMENTS The President's Page Family Focus Local Union Activities Shanty Talk Inside Front Cover 30 35 36 EDITORIAL COMMITTEE J.

FEBRUARY, 1978 5 1 / iiSrfi. 12th AFL-CIO Convention HUMAN RIGHTS From at least one foreign country came a cry for help to the AFL-CIO and a call to action. Conspicuous by their absence, six Soviet dissidents were invited to ad dress the convention in Los Angeles, but Soviet authori ties refused permission to leave. The dissidents include Nobel Peace Prize Winner Andrei Sakharov and Anotoli Marchenko, a building -radesman and author in exile in Siberia. Sakharov, in a letter to the convention smuggled out of Russia, recited a long list of human rights viola tions in Russia and called upon the American free trade union movement to push for a free, unfettered press to expose the communist violations of human rights. One Soviet exile, Vladimir Bukovsky who spent I I of his 35 years in prison for his outspoken beliefs in human rights, exposed the myth of "fictitious Soviet labor unions" which "are. not concerned with the protection of working people but with the carrying out of partygovernmental plans." He recalled a 1962 workers' strike protesting pay-cuts and higher food prices, a strike that "was met with machine gun fire" and death or long imprisonment for the survivors. As for his own detention, "it was the strength of your solidarity that swung open the doors of my priscn ceil," he told the AFL-CIO. Delegates voted to encourage free trade unionism worldwide and to support the U.S. government's foreign policy based upon human rights, which the convention defined as "the right to be rree and equal in dignity, to freedom of thought, conscience and religion, and to join and participate in free trade unions." Ironworker delegates and guests to the AFL-CIO Convention in Los Angeles included, clockwise from left, General President John H. Lyons, General Vice-Presidents Dale M. Ray and A. S. Goodwin, General Organizer William N. Coleman, Business Agent Darrell E. Shelton of Local 509 in Los Angeles, Executive Director of Ap prenticeship and Training J. W. Hardesty, General Vice-Presidents Matthew Taylor and J. W. Merritt, Executive Director of Jurisdic tion Robert L. McVay, General Organizer O. C. Yancy, Business Agent Martin T. Byrne of Local 37 in Providence, Rhode Island; General Organizer Charles R. Anding, General Vice-Presidents Thomas Clarkson and Hugh Williamson, General Secretary Juel D. Drake, General Organizer Russell B. Elliot, General Treasurer John McKean and General Vice-President Robert E. P. Cooney. America's Bridge Crisis RESOLUTION NO. 191--By Delegate Robert Georgine. Building and Construction Trades Department. WHEREAS. Both the deterioration and obsolescence of federalaid system bridges present serious safety hazards for American citizens, and WHEREAS. Structurally deficient and functionally obsolete bridges cause inconvenience, delay and substantial wastage of gasoline in circuitous route transportation, and WHEREAS. According to latest Federal Highwav Administration figures. 30.917 of the approximate 249.378 federai-aid systern bndges and an estimated one m every live non-federal systern, bridges are in need of major repair or replacement, and WHEREAS, Only $180 million per year is currently being ap propriated for federal-aid system bridge replacement when an estimated $6.7 billion program is needed, and WHEREAS. Last winter's damage to American bridges is esti mated at $1.8 billion alone, and WHEREAS. Congress failed last July to increase the funding for federal bridge repair and replacement program: therefore, be it RESOLVED: That the AFL-CIO and its affiliated unions call upon Congress and its Surface Transportation subcommittees to renew their efforts to make our bndges safer, and be it further RESOLVED: That such congressional action shall prevent re currence of such recent tragedies as the Owl Creek Bridge col lapse >n Tennessee, the bridge collapse in Winston-Salem and the Ohio-West Virginia Silver Dndge buckling which killed 46 people and injured nine others. In an emotional disoiay of trade union unity for pease, j the two leaders of the Israeli and Egyptian trade union ! j movements met cn rhe platform of the AFL-CIO con ' vention and raised their clasped hands, pledging their I { efforts to bring a asring peace to the Middle East. I President Meany said: "Our job is to encourage them I j to the greatest degree possible to bring about peace." I Domestically, the AFL-CIO pledged itself to an all-out ! j drive for Labor Law Reform to restore the human rights ' of workers who want to be represented by a union. The convention also renewed its efforts to gain on-site elec tion registration and public financing of congressional elections, patterned after the current financing of presi dential elections. "The AFL-CIO itself would like to spend less time, energy and resources on political fund raising efforts," one resolution stated, "and be able, instead, to devote its efforts to building more effective political action programs." Such a bill, H.R. 5157, is now before Congress awaiting House action, although con servative groups and fat cat contributors are mustering opposition to the plan for public financing of congres sional races. 6 THE IRONWORKER^ General President John H. Lyons escorted the Secretary of the new U.S. Department of Energy, James R. Schlesinger, to the AFL-CIO podium. Schlesinger told the delegates that "there must be adequate energy to keep our factories going," noting a link between jobs and energy. As he spoke, the U.S. trade deficit approached $30 billion for 1977, mainly because the U.S. imports almost 50 percent of the oil it uses, widening the nation's energy vulnerability and affecting foreign policy objectives. FAIR TRADE Adding to the irritation of jocessness i-. the United States nar beer, a recent uosu-ge in cneao imports and the gradual export of American :cb; anc incus'-ry. Many of the cheap imports, including fabricated steel, nave been "pumped ' on the Amer'can marks* below actual *"oduction cost, and U.S.-ba-ec multinational corpora ls continue to enjoy tax aovartages cy investing or relocating overseas. Several delegates rose to the t oo- microcrones to hit upon the issue of unfair trade. Steelworke* President Lioyo McBride warned that r President Carter's new reterence pricino" program to' =*ee! irr.pcrTS does not work, the U.S. may be forceo- to re:v or steel imports in much the same way the cour-ry now relies upor oil imports. IUE President David nc'sd gradual job erosion Fabricated Steel Imports RESOLUTION NO. 181--By Delegate Robert Georgine, Build ing and Conitruction Trades Department. WHEREAS. American industry and the National Security de pend upon a healthy and competitive steel fabricating; industry, including- structural snapes, pipe, piate and related steei construc tion products, and WHEREAS. This scattered and fragile industry, comprised to a large extent of small shops bidding competitively in small geographical radii, is now impacted by increased levels of im ports often sold below actual coat: and WHEREAS. Fabricating plant closings and maasive worker layoffs are occurring on the West Coast, up the Misaiasippi and Missouri Rivers and along the Atlantic seaboards: and WHEREAS. The baaic steel producing industry is also further damaged by cut-rate unports of fabricated steel construction products: therefore, be it RESOLVED: That the AFL-CIO, and its affiliated unions call upon Congress, the White House and its Special Trade Repre sentative. the Customs Agency, The Treasury Department and the International Trade Commission to vigorously investigate the importation of fabricated steel construction products and rigidly enforce the trade laws or create new laws and policies to ensure fair trade in the steel fabricating industry, which is an integral part of the construction industry. beginning with radios in the early 1960's, then black-and- white televisions, phonographs, stereos and now color televisions being built overseas, with U.S. government relief coming "too little and too late." (His remarks came only a few days after Zenith Corp. announced it was shifting 5,000 jobs from the U.S. to overseas plants while Honda of Japan announced it would open a 300-worker assembly plant in Ohio, a trade-off of 4,700 jobs.) ILGWU President So! Chaikin pointed out that the $4 an hour average wage in the U.S. textile and apparel industry is competing heftily with wages of 32 cents an hour in South Korea and 40 cents an hour in Taiwan. Clothing and Textile Workers Vice-President Stetin calls it a "conspiracy" on the oart of "multinational corpora- Tions and their partners, the multinational banks, the insurance corDorations, to invest overseas at the expense of the American people. They export our capital, our jobs, our technology, ar.c we import products made at such scab wages" at the same prices as domestic clothing. Meat Cutters Vice President Feinglass noted that the Japanese buy up a large share of American-produced hides and turn them into exoort leather products, "but we in the United States cannot by law sell any leather oreduc-r in JaDar.." Re-a" Clerks Vice-President Mara cited a :co loss of 70.003 in the U.S. shoe industry be tween" 1968 and 1976. an.o descite a recent "orderly market agreement" with 'ow-wage shoe-producing coun ties, American shoe oroouction is still goina down. Delegates sought to access the problem of unfair trade bv resoh'inc to du* an end to tax loooholes and 'ncemives for multinatiors' firms overseas and fo abolish the Domestic Internationa1 Saies Corp. (DISC) which allows corporations to de*er, perhaos indefinitely, the major `axes on exoort as well as to abolish the Overseas Private investment Corporation which insures multinational coroorations and banks abroad and which enccurages export of American jobs. Delegates also called To- government investigation of the rapid rise of imoorfed fabricated steel. Federation Presioent Meaoy branded the Nixon-Ford concect of "free" trade a: "a joke and a myth." Meany called instead for 'fair trade--do unto others as they do to us--barrier tor bamier--closed door for closed door," adding that "fore:gr trade is the guerrilla war fare of economics--and "ight now the U.S. economy is being ambushed." Ironworker Raymond Corbett, business manager of Local 40 and president of the two miliion member New York State AFL-CIO. asked the delegates and "Almighty God. our Carpenter in Heaven, in His infinite wisdom, to allow our Plumber from She sidewalks of New York to serve at least anot'ner decade, if not more." The ap plauding 2,500 delegate:, foreign visitors and guests cneered the re-elecvcn c' Geo'ge Meany as President of the AFL-CIO. Secretary Treasurer Lane Kirkland was aiso re-elected.

Metal Trades `he AFL-CIO Metal Trades Department met in Los -naeies prior to the AFL-CIO convention, concentrating ;n membership drives and occupational health issues. MTD President Paul J. Burnsky urged "serious condderation given to the organizing of new units under the Metal Trades Council concept" for better job health crotection and full collective bargaining rights. Burnsky oointed to the Rockefeller Pay Panel Report, which calls a pay slash for federal blue collar workers, and oiced strong ODccsiticn to the government findings. The convention also expressed serious concern for the safety of those working with asbestos and welding, par-'cuiarly in shipyards. Following a report of 59 percent un' abnormalities among Bav Area shipyard workers 'ss. il story in the October 1977 `ssue of this magazine], deieoates called for improved federal crotection for /erkers and their families afflicted with job-related assestosis, lung career and mescthe:loma.

Maritime Trades Oniy a few weeks after a stinging congressional defeat of the Oil Cargo Equity Bill, the AFL-CIO Maritime Trades Department held its convention In Los Angeles. Like situs picketing, cargo equity passed Congress in 975, only to be vetoed by President Ford. Delegates called for development of a national cargo sciicy to assure a substantial share of U.S. ships in all rade routes, curbing a 30-year decline of American :h!oping. Hawaii Senator Daniel Inouve noted a 42.3 oercent U.S. share in 1950 to a 4.4 percent share today n carrying U.S. imports, warning of future embargoes Ike the one imoosed on oil shipments to the U.S. in `973. Delegates also called for an end to tax incentives 'hat allow U.S. operators to fly foreign flags such as Jberia which has no port but does issue flagships under ewer safety and construction standards. Senator Mike Gravel of Alaska made a slide presenta'icn for a proposed sea level canal iust 10 miles from the snt Panama Canal to transport Alaskan oil to the - Coast, noting that the present canal would be 'ofally useless by 1990.

THE IRONWORKE Travel Pay Ruling, Changes in Tax Law 4/hat about deductions for travel sts to temporary job sites? Last year e lr `ried to rule that workers could Ic deduct their daily travel costs to remote construction projects and wanted negotiated travel allowances to be treated as wages, subject to with holding and employment tax. However, the IRS extended that rul ing several times last year, and finally withdrew Ruling 76-453 indefinitely. Therefore, subject to certain limita tions and conditions, travel pay and expenses as in the past are deductible items on 1976 federal income tax re turns. Some people like changes: others refer things the way they are. But no latter which side of the fence you're >n. one thing is certain: when you fill nil your 1977 tax return, you won't >e able to avoid the many changes in he tax law brought about through ecent legislation. You have probably heard that the andard deduction has been replaced / a zero bracket amount, which is a at S2.200 for singles and S3.200 for uarrieds. filing jointly. And there has reen quite a bit of publicity about the new tax tables with the zero bracket amount, personal exemptions, and ger tax credit built right in. 'i e changes affect most taxpay ers. but don't require you to plan . head. Because some of the new -ovisions however, do relate to preainning. it makes sense to start gath ering your records together and exam ining the tax consequences of some of >our actions. For instance, if you own capital assets, such as stock, bonds or real property that you intend to sell this year. are you aware that in order to -nullify for long term capital gain or "X treatment, you must have owned uit asset for more than nine months? 'he holding period in prior years was more than six months. Do you also know that the amount of a capital loss you can use to offset your taxable income has been in creased from $1,000 to S2.000? Both of these changes can make a significant difference in your tax bill or 1977. Suppose, for example, that ou never heard of the new nine aonth holding period, and you dis pose of a capital asset after seven months, thinking that you will have to pay tax on only one-half of your prof it. When you fill out your 1977 tax r -n you might be surprised at the jnt of tax you owe. if you have moved, or plan a move, in 1977. several changes in the tax FEBRUARY, 1978 law affect you. The distance require ment of 50 miles in order to claim moving expenses has been reduced to 35 miles. In addition, the maximum deduc tion for pre-move househunting and temporary living expenses has been increased from SI.000 to 51.500. The deduction for expenses related to buying, selling, or renting a home has been increased by. $500 to S3.000. .Make sure you have records handy to remind you of all the expenses. Here's something else new for 1977. If you are a worker under the age of 70-1/2 and do not participate in any other pension or annuity plan during the year, you may for the first time include your non-working spouse in your Individual Retirement "Arrangement (IRA). If you establish an IRA for you and your non-working spouse, you may contribute a total of 15Cr of your compensation, to a top limit of SI.750. And for 1977. you have an addition al 45 days from the end of the tax year (until February 14. 1978) in which to make vour contribution and still deduct it on your tax return. The advantage of an IRA. of course, is that contributions are not taxed until withdrawn. If withdrawn at retire ment. the individual normally would be in a lower tax bracket and would pay less tax on the amounts. Other changes that could mean a difference in your tax liability are in the areas of alimony, child support, and child care expenses. Alimony, previously an itemized deduction, is now an adjustment to income, which means that an ex spouse can claim on his or her tax return the amount of alimony he or she paid during the year without hav ing to itemize. If you make child support payments, to a former spouse, you may have to pay more money now in order to claim your children as dependents on your tax return. In prior years, if the tax exemptions were not allocated in the divorce decree, and you were the noncustodial parent, you had to con tribute S 1.200 or more for the support of one or more children in order to take the dependency exemptions. That- amount has now increased to SI.200 for each child. Expenses you pay for work-related child care may now be claimed as a tax credit. The credit is 20c7 of the amount you pay during the year for child care. The maximum amount of the credit allowed is $4<X) for one child and S800 for two or more chil dren. Again, you should have com plete records so you can take full advantage of any breaks coming to you. Older Americans who sell their homes in 1977 will be glad to learn that there has been a sizable change in the tax break available to them. Previously, anyone age 65 or over who void his or her home did not have to pay any tax on the gain if the adjusted sales price of the house was S2D.IMH) or less. The exclusion amount has now been increased so that you pay no tax on the gain from the sale if the ad justed vales price is S35.WX) or less. If the adjusted sales price is over $35,000. the tax break is prorated. Remember, the adjusted sales price of your home is the amount you re ceive after paying selling commissions and certain allowable fixing-up expen ses. such as painting part of the inte rior of your home. It's obvious there are changes in store for many Americans when they prepare their 1977 Federal tax returns. To get a head start on your taxes contact the IRS for free publications on areas that will affect your taxes. You may order the publications by filling out the order form that is en closed in the tax package you receive, or by contacting your local IRS office. 31 Magnets for Peace and Energy Ironworkers Assist in Record-Breaking Haul Local 393 of Aurora, Illinois accom plished the intricate rigging on a 40ton superconducting magnet system sent halfway around the giobe in a joint U.S.-ILS.S.R. project designed to meet future energy shortages. The Beiding Corporation, under contract with the U.S. Energy Re search and Deveiooment Administra tion (ERDA), aid the rigging and haul ing of the magnet from ERDA's Araonne National. Laboratory near Chicago to final destination at the Institute for High Temperatures near Moscow. At Argonne the $2.5 million mag net was loaded onto a three-axle air ride lowboy pulled by a four-axle Mack Tractor. The sensitive and heavy magnet was hoisted onto the trailer by hydrauiic gantry legs. The unified jacking console provided for each of the four legs to lift simultane ously, regardless of weight or pres sure differences on any one leg. Members of Local 393 then secured the magnet-to-trailer tie-downs in ac cordance with the stresses to ensure no shifting of load. Thus, the tractor and load became one integral unit for a 6,000 mile flight. Hart and Darrel of Local 393 lower the superconducting magnet system onto a platform before loading onto a nearby trailer bed. The red, white, and blue tractor, sceckled with tlagstars. made Its wav to O Hare International Airport where it was driven up a ramo into the beily of an Air Force C-5 Galaxy aircraft. Ironworker precision left only two inches of ceiling clearance for the load as the mighty aircraft "kneeled" on its 28-wheel landing gear to receive the load. Never before had such a heavy load (356 tons) travelled so far by air. Twice the gas-guzzling C-5 Gal axy had ro be refueled airborne by tanker planes with movable fuei pipes, once over the North Sea at midnight In air turbulence. Nevertheless, the magnet was greeted in Moscow by American Am bassador Malcolm Toon and other dignitaries. The patriotic truck hauled the magnet another 17 miles for un loading at the magnefohydrodynamic (MHD) power plant for two years of testing before it is returned to the United States. One ERDA official describes it "much like the Soviets supplying the chassis and body of a car and the United States supplying a new type of engine." Once in operation, the MHD gen erator is expected to operate at double the efficiency of conventional fossil fuel plants. Unlike conventional steam-turbine generators, the MHD is cooled to 453 degrees below zero F. At that temperature it becomes "superconductive" as it loses most of its resistance to electricity and operates with minimum power con sumption. When the magnet is cooled down, very hot conductive gas (4500 F.) is forced through the magnet field at the speed of sound. The resulting electricity is collected by electrodes embedded .in the walls of the ducts. This joint U.S.-U.S.S.R. energy pro ject is also expected to save three or four years of research and develop ment and hundreds of thousands of dolia rs before the technology is per fected to meet the oredicTed energy shortages worid-wide. Darrel Francis of Local 393 secured the magnet at Argonne National Laboratory for its 6,000-mile trip. -W: 32 THE IRONWORI Impending Disasters Dam Inspection Program Finally Funded Back in 1972, the National Dam Safety Act directed the U.S. Corps of Engineers to catalog and in spect each of the nation's 49,329 dams, including 20,000 which could result in loss of life and property damage in the event they collapsed. Unfortunately, the Nixon Administration did not seek funds to carry out this mission, and Congress failed to appropri ate the needed financing. As a result, less than a million dollars a year or S20 per dam was used up through 1975 for the inventory, but no federal inspections were made. Then came the dam disasters. A dam along Buffalo Creek in West Virginia coliapsed, killing 118 people downstream. In IS75, emergency Congressional authori zation of SI5 million for dam in- lection came too laie as the xiewiy-built Teton Dam in Idaho collapsed in june, killing 11 peo ple and causing $400 million in damage. Finally, after former Office of Management and Bud get Director Bert Lance continued the Nixon-Ford practice of keep ing a lid on dam inspection funds, a dam in the President's back yard of Georgia gave way-during a storm. Toccoa Falls Bible Col lege was virtually demolished and 37 people, including 18 children, were killed as a result of the Georgia dam disaster. In early December, President Carter announced a new dam safety inspection program "to help prevent further tragedies like that at Toccoa Falls." The program gets underway this month, funded at $15 million a year for an esti mated eventual cost of $70,600,000. People living downstream from he estimated 9,000 "nigh hazard potential" dams, however, must still sweat it out during rain storms. The $15 million will permit inspection of only 1,800 dams, and that does not include any of the reinforcing or replacement costs of faulty dams. In fact, according to both the National Research Council and the Bureau of Recla mation (BLM) the cost of improv ing just 13 of the 330 dams in the West built and supervised by the BLM is set at $36,500,000. The BLM has requested this funding for new piers, reinforce ment and spillways from the OMB, but a tight Congress is not ex pected to act on these 33 risky dams when 9,000 non-federal dams cry out for repair also. Congress and the Executive Branch must first confront a series of conflicts and bureaucratic problems: * the Army says that the "in spection of non-Federal dams should be accomplished by the concerned States and Territories as part of their normal responsi bilities" yet, only 18 states have an active dam inspection and repair program South Carolina, for example, says "such State programs are clearly beyond the means of most States, certainly South Carolina" the Department of Agriculture and Interior "question the ability and willingness of States to fully implement the program without Federal financial incentives" Characteristic of the Carter Ad ministration to find a "middle way," the Corps of Engineers will give priority to those States which start or improve their own dam safety inspection programs. In addition, each State must assure the federal government that they "will use all available means to take remedial measures expedi tiously in cases where hazardous conditions are found to be pres ent." In other words, the States must be willing to repair or re place those dams which are found to be dangerous. Will the new Dam -Inspection Program work? Some States may just not allow a full reservoir in a weak dam, but then come water shortages such as those on the West Coast. Dams. considered "low risk" a few years ago be came "high risk" as developers and residents move into the valley downstream, creating a need for more water supplies. Flood-con trol projects upstream put greater strains on existing dams, since nearly half of the dam failures result from floodwaters. And time itself produces progressive leak age around and beneath the dams, with fissures growing larger and larger over the years. As the chairman of a House environmental subcommittee puts it: "Some of these dams are like a loaded shotgun pointed at the people downstream." FEBRUARY, 1978 33 r ir i` Pollution, Jobs and Energy Ironworkers Achieve Balancing Act on Capitol Hill The Rockport Power Plant in Indiana will be built on schedule, thanks to the efforts of Business Agent Charles Hill of Local 103 in Evansville, plus representatives from the International Association, industry and the AFLCIO Building and Construction Trades Department. At least 300 con struction jobs were on the line as over-regulation threatened progress on the $1.3 billion, 2,600 megawatt power plant. The problem began in early Octo ber when the Environmental Protec tion Agency reversed an earlier opin ion and told the Indiana and Michi gan Power Company that it would have to install $270 million worth of scrubbers on the Rockford plant. The plant was originally designed to burn low sulphur coal from Utah and re design would amount to an 18-month delay of the project, plus added cost to the consumers and delay of muchneeded energy for the region. When Business Agent Hill became aware that EPA's ruling would cause not only a reduction in the workforce but also a reduction in work-hours from two 10-hour shifts to one eighthour shift, he contacted the General President's Office and requested International participation in a Capitol Hill meeting to explore the problem. During the meeting in Washington with the EPA, Congress man David Cornwell of Evansville and nearly 20 labor, government and industry people showed up to ex press their concern over EPA's arbi- trary shift of policy. EPA had suddenly and unfairly applied pro visions of the 1977 Clean Air Act amendments to plants already under construction, having previously ap proved plant design requirements and construction. Congressman Cornwell and Indiana Senator Birch 8ayh discovered that EPA's shift of policy also affected two other major power plant construction jobs. Both legislators mustered the suDport of representatives from Texas and Arkansas to protest the retroacrive enforcement of the new Clean Air Act, and the Environmental Pro tection Agency, within two weeks, ap proved the final construction permit for the Rockford plant. The efforts of Local 103 and the International Association, with Con gress and industry, had far-reaching effects. Similar snafus affected con struction of a coal-fired generating plant near Houston, necessary to meet anticipated 1980 energy needs, and a coal-fired 1400-megawatt power plant in Newark, Arkansas. In addition, future jobs in Indiana, Texas and Arkansas depended direct ly upon reversal of the ill-timed EPA decision, and this effort resulted in a balance between clean air and energy needs. Congressman Cornwell con cluded: "The cooperation shown by all participants in resolving this im portant problem helped to bring this matter to a speedy and successful conclusion." Japanese Fabricators In Cutthroat Bidding For Lai Bridge Job When the bids were opened last autun on the Leeling Bridge job near Ne Orleans, the results were astonishin Three contractors using American fa ricated steel were pitted against thr< using Japanese fabricated steel. Tl massive job involved some 19,000 toi of fabricated steel. The American fabricated steel can in at a competitive cost of around $ million. Under normal circumstance the Japanese steel would come in perhaps $37 million, but with thn Japanese fabricators bidding again one another, the Japanese bids can in at $20-23 million, or approximate 50 percent of domestic cost. That's "dumping" enough, but the not all. The Texas-based company th won the job with the lowest bid usii Japanese fabricated steel is going need some big rigs to do the job. T Japanese, who have gobbled up an es mated 31 percent of all fabricated ste used on bridge jobs in the U.S, i glad to oblige. Huge rigs will shipped through the canal from Jap and assembled, probably by Japane riggers. Basic Steel Producers Greet Carter Plan For "Trigger Pricing" Towards the end of the year, the Car Administration unveiled its plan to cl imports of basic steel, scheduled to into effect this month. Basically, t plan calls for the Treasury Departme to "trigger" an investigation when r steel is imported at less than an av age of $330 a ton. Industry asked foi trigger price of $360 a ton since mu foreign steel is produced with gove ment subsidies. The plan does not include impo of fabricated steel, although the St Task Force report issued by the Pre dent does state: "There are nevert less two problems which may not fully met by the proposed system. 1 system extends only to steel mill pr ucts; hence, there is some risk t! steel fabrications will substitute for more basic steel products in U.S. ports, as occurred during the quant: tive imports restrictions on the st mill products imposed in the late 196 Exporters may attempt to shift tt mix of products to the highest vail items in each product category a thus, `skim the cream' of the tn while leaving lower-valued, less prc able items to the domestic indus The Customs Service Task Force im| meeting the system will be alerted these problems. Should sales of fa cations or top-of-the-line items prov significant opportunities for evasion the intended relief of the system, propriate action will be taken." w 34 ft n New Jersey Local Honors Retiree A dinner-dance honoring retiring Financiaf Secretary Bill Chieco of Local 483 was held in Paterson, New Jersey recently at the Brownstone House in Paterson.

FEBRUARY. 1978 35 DOUBLESPEAK The Committee on Doublespeak of the National Council of Teachers of Eng lish gave its top award for 1976 to the U.S. Department of State for its an nouncement of plans to appoint a con sumers affairs coordinator. The coordi nator, that announcement said, will "re view existing mechanisms of consumer input, thruput and output, and seek ways of improving these linkages via the `consumer communication chan nel.' " The only foreign contender was Pres ident Idi Amin of Uganda, singled out for calling his secret police "The State Research Unit." Another candidate was Ronald Reagan's wife, Nancy. Asked, on "60 Minutes" her view of capital punish ment, she said, "I'm for it." Asked why, she replied, "Because it saves lives." Nominations for 1977? WHAT'S IN A NAME? In the late thirties, Congressman Gus Hawkins reminisced recently, when he was a state Assemblyman in California his appeal for day care centers for chil dren (so that their mothers could work) was attacked as "socialistic" by the Los Angeles Times. When World War II came along and Southern California air craft plants needed "Rosie the Rivet ers," the same newspaper suddenly discovered that day care centers were "patriotic." SWORDS INTO PLOWSHARES The Biblical prophecy that swords would be beaten into plowshares has its modem counterpart in Kansas City. Mo. Each year, Kansas City pollea gather up the handguns collected dur ing the year from persons arrested and from citizens who turn in unwanted guns and turn them over to the Armeo plant, to be melted down. The recycled steel, reports the St. Louis Labor Tri bune, is used for nails, chicken wire, cable and farm implements. Officials estimate the value of the weapons melted down this year at more than $100,000. Philosopher & Dear Editor: One trouble with the world today, it seems to me, is that"it's too full of advice.

That National Ironworkers Safety Committee then was a vehicle that joined with other ongoing or ganizations to promote safety both within the frame work of the construction industry and elsewhere as we could. This safety committee joined shortly thereafter the National Building Trades Safety Committee and has played an active role within the framework of that safety committee. That committee is undoubtedly one of the most ef fective national organizations that the Building Trades Department has put together. It is not a committee in name only. It is an active committee that considers even- question that is posed to it or brought to its atten tion in any manner or form. It accepts the fact that it has a responsibility to look into safe, working opera written within the framework of our trade, or we go to OSHA jointly and protest specific regulations that OSHA would develop in connection with our trade. I might point out, that while the Ironworkers' trade has become a safe trade, we still carry workmen's com pensation rates in dollars per one hundred dollars of payroll, approximately four times the national average for all industries and three times the national average for the construction industry. That does not necessarily mean that the Ironworkers' trade cannot be made safe, that there is no way to prevent having a greater incident of accidents. It does mean that we are jointly, con servatively working to lower that rate so that we have a lesser ratio of accidents than we currently undergo. However, our trade cannot be completely and at all times safe. There is no way that we can erect structural steel with handrails on the beams. Our men have to walk those beams, and obviously that is a dangerous activity. We do everything we can to improve the situ tions. develop position papers, develop standing com mittees to encourage and generate consistent and on going activities, and take whatever step they deem appropriate to improve safety for all building tradesmen on construction sites. It is indeed a recognition of the fact that the safety of workers in one trade on the con struction site is indeed inter-related with the safety of the other workers following other trades on the same construction site. That National Building Trades Safety )mmittee became the vehicle, under OSHA. to pro mulgate and to represent the Building Trades in a more concentrated effort at the national level, putting forth the requirements of the construction industry. Shortly thereafter, that committee developed the ation under which they do work, so that the walking of those beams is not totally hazardous, and is as safe as possibly can be made within the framework of erecting structural steel beams. We continuously develop and seek to develop regu lations which are applicable to all contractors, union or nonunion, with respect to tying members off at their work point, when such is practical. It's obvious, how ever. that a man moving from one point to another cannot be tied off because if he were tied off by a rope of any length, that rope itself would be more dangerous than the act of walking that beam without any re straints. such as a rope. Obviously, we can erect safety nets only under certain conditions and only in certain National Building Trades Safety and Health Training and Education Program for the Construction Industry, which involves both employer representatives and union locations. Obviously, we can plank on certain types of buildings, at certain levels which we identify' to be twostories or thirty feet. We cannot plank every situation representatives. That training program, now only a few in which an Ironworker is not over that planking, such years old. has already trained some 250 representatives as connecting beams to columns in the perimeter of a of labor and management in a concentrated training program that requires four weeks of developed class room programs and assignments, and. I believe, as a structure. When he is making the connection at the top beam, on a three-story column, for example, and he must swing to the outside, we put up out-rigging. How fore-runner of many more activities that would revolve ever. the erection of out-riggers is sometimes more around that general area of coordinated activities with dangerous than the erection of structural steel itself. in any specific industry for improving safety. So. these are some of the things that our committee, Shortly after our National Ironworker Safety Com as an industry, wrestles with. Both employers and un mittee was formed, the activities of our committee ions. as an industry, hopefully develop a unified posi caused our employers to come to us and say, in effect, tion. s* why can't we work together on many of the points of safety within the Ironworking industry, of which we Wav ft. cfvg<rVWl have a joint interest? We agreed to that concept, re quested that they form a committee to meet jointly with us. and the committee now meets four times a year. While we have many more disagreements than agree- TO BE CONTINUED: General President Lyons' nts, as a matter of fact there are many subjects in remarks on occupational health hazards, apprenticeship volving the Ironworkers' trade in which we go to OSHA and training in safety, and technological developments. f- l? !
