• A leading national magazine for homeowners has carried an

articte saying exactly what the building trades unions affiliated with
the AFL·CIO have maintained for a long time in regard to
apprenticeship and training. Setter Homes & Gardens, a most
respected periodical. which calls itself the "idea magazine for better
homes and families," examined the auto repair industry in the
United States in its February, 1972 issue. The art icle concluded that
"a great deal" is wrong with the auto repair industry and at present
"anyone capable of smearing grease on his hands can call himself
'master mechanic.' "
leading the list of suggested changes in the industry was an
apparent call for apprenticeship and training programs that would
turn out qualified automobile mechanics, thereby saving time. money,
and possibly avoiding loss of life to those persons needing repairs to
their vehicles . As an example of what can be accomplished. the
magazine stated, "Most ski lled tradesmen such as carpenters and
electricians belong to unions that impose strict standards on their
members. An electrician's Journeyman card tells you immediately how
much t raining and experience he has. Unfortunately auto mechaniCS
are not well organized .... "
The IBEW takes a very strong position that Quality electrical work
can only be performed by electricians who are thoroughly trained in
bona fide apprenticeship and skill improvement programs which give
journeyman electricians the knowledge and the skill to perform well.
Both the IBEW and the employers who are in agreement with ou r
union's philosophy realize the val ue of up·to·date high standard
t raining programs. Ou r jointly-sponsored apprenticeship and training
programs are of most valuable assistance to the individual electrician
in helping him become more skillful which in turn affords him more
job opportunities and security.
Contractors also benefit because it places them in strong
competitive positions when tn'eir electricians have the ability,
knowledge, and skill to perform high Quality standards of work.
I he customer who has the work done by contractors emplOYing
u nion electricians is assured of a fi rst class electrical installation.
The IBEW commends Better Homes & Gardens for its insight in
printing an excellent article calling for high standards and training of
skilled automobile mechanics. We think it significant that they cited
union elect ricians as an example of an assured way of obtaining
quality workmanship_

Outlook for 1972 Predicts According to officials of the National Association of

Continuing Build ing Boom Home Builders, the record - breaking housing boom of
last year, when 2 .1 million housing starts occurred,
will be continued and probably broken during 1972.
Indica t ors suggesting this prediction may he correct
include : year- end statistics indicating an unusually
large backlog of building permits that had been issued
but not yet used; the present substantial easing in
mortgage rates and the expectation of further eaSing
during 1972; high rates of personal deposits 1n
savings and loan associations, which are the major
sources of home loan s; and the hope that th e rate of
inflation will decline during 1972. The established
Dodge I ndex of construction is expected by leading
building construction economists to advance to 150
in 1972 from 145 in 1971. This is using 1967 as the
100 base period . According to the producers of the
Dodge Index, the McGraw- Hill I nformation Systems, Co • •
increased non-residential construction expec ted dur-
ing 1972 and projected hOUSing s t ar t s near 1971
levels will increase the construction contract value
by 4 per cent in 1972 .

Unemployment Insurance Because of high levels of unemployment, the National

Benefits Extended Extended Unemployment Compensation Program has become
effective . In all states, except Kentucky wh ich has
until July 1972 to enact conforming legislation,
insured unemployed workers who have used up their
regular 26 weeks of benefits . now have up to 13 addi -
tional weeks of benefits. This program became effec -
tive January 2. 1972 . A second benefit extension
plan . called the Magnuson Extended Benefit Program ,
became effective January 30, 1972 . AFL- CIO officials
believe thi s program 11'111 effect immediately or in
the near future : Alaska , California, Connecticut,
Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey , Puerto Rico. Rhode
I sland , Washington, Michigan, Nevada, New York.
Oregon , and Vermont . Additional states are expected .
The Magnuson program is a temporary measure whereby
states will pay emergency unemployment compensation
benefits to workers who have exhausted both regular
and state ex tended unemployment compensation benefits .
Benefits will be paid for 13 weeks, and no benefits
may be made after September 30. 1972 . AFL- CI O
officials are recommending that unemployed worker s ,
unsure if they are eligible for extended benefits ,
should apply nevertheless to determine their eligi -
bility . Workers are urged to contact local state
unemployment offices for complete information on
extended benefits .

AFl·CIO Calls for 15 Per Cent
Boost in Social Security
JOURNAL fO~ MA~CH . 1972
[On1iRE5510nAl [ABLE
Legislation has been introduced in the 92nd Congress
proposing various changes in the existing system
of auto insurance on a nationwide basis . One concept-
no fault auto insurance-has been advanced in bills
introduced in both ~he House of Representatives and
the Senate . The Senate bill (S945) is spo nsored by
Senators Warren G. Magnuson and Philip A. Hart . The
House bill (HR I0222) is sponsored by Representatives
John E. Moss and Bob Eckhardt . If enacted, this plan
would reduce insurance costs, particularly legal
fees, and bring about improved insurance coverage for
policyholders. according to the AFL- CIO . Plans for no
fault auto insurance have been stimulated by arbitrary
policy cancellations, inordinately high premiums.
unfair eligibility requirements , and insufficient
claims compensation. The AFL- CIO, consumer groups,
and a number of insurance underwriting companies
have endorsed the no fault legislation as a responsive
alternative to the present system .
The unfinished business of the 92nd Congress over-
shadows the accomplishments of the first session in
the AFL- CIO' s annu al legisla ti ve repo rt just printed .
The ne w addi tion of "Labor Looks at Congress" pro -
vides a detailed account of the progress of major
bills . Single copies of this valuable pamphlet.
prepared by the AFL-CIO Legislation Department, are
available free from the AFL-CIO Pamphlet Division,
815 16th Street , N. W., Washington, D. C. 20006 .
Additional copies are 15 cents each or $13 . 50 for
100 . The body of the pamphlet recites the background
and s tep-by- step legislative progress of bills the
AFL- CI O supported or opposed during the 1971 con-
gressional year .
Calling today ' s average Social Security benefits far
short of what is needed to take the aged out of the
poverty level, the AFL- CIO has stated to Congress
that a 15 per cent increase in Social Security benefits
is needed . -The average Social Security benefit for
a retiring couple 1s little more than one - half the
Department of Labor ' s modest but adequate budget
for a retired couple," AFL-CIO Legislative Director
Andrew J . 8iemiller said . The AFL- CIO is urging a
minimum benefit of $150 a month for low wage workers
after 30 years of covered employment , liberalization
of the amoun t a retiree can earn while receiving
benefits, and various improvements in Medicare .

But eVCll more important tilnn
the phenomenal amounts o f mate-
rials. the innovative com.truction
Ilh.'thod ... etc .. which have gone into
the building of the center, i~ the
purpo~e for which it is being huill-
to provide a cent ra l heildquarters
where mcmbers of the world trade
community can avai l themselvcs of
an unparalleled concentration of

N~w York has lo ng n..:cded Ihe
World Trade Center. Although in-
for mation has "IW;lYS bc~'n available
to busines~men. thc locutions at
which it could be obtained were too
widely seattercd and diflicult to
reach. Amcrican busines!.l1lcn ha\.:
he~n reluctant to in\'olvc thcrnsclve;
in the world Illtlrket because of their
inability to ident ify potential buyers.
licemeclo, agentlo, o.:\r.:. and because
of the distribulion and dinicult) in
administrative processing of illler-
national shipments, Amcrican and
fore ign governmental regulationlo.
:l1ld language barriers.
These difliculties could explai n
the reason U. S. exports account for
only about four per cent of our
G ross National Product. But the
World Tr:lde Center. which wi ll
provide a "one-stop convenicnce"
for businessmen, will solve their
problems.
Through the World Tmde Infor-
mation Center's " Interfile," a coop-
erative progr:lI11 undertaken by Ihe
World Trade Centers Association,
a busi nessman in Ne\~ York will be
"ble to call UPOIl the information
resou rces of ot her trade centers in
major comillercia l citi.:s throughout
the world.
Too. the World Trad..: lmlitulc.
c!>lahlishcd by the Port of New
York Authority. will cond uct
cou rses in all aspects of world trade.
While th..: Wo rld Trade Cent('r
complex will 1I0t be compl eled until
1973, more than h'llf of the 101:11
nine-mi llion sq uare feel of office

When you put your tools away,
You know you've had your day.
And though your hair's all g rey,
You can stili bend pipe.
All day and hall the night.
Show the young SQUirts how
Without a smgle, " Wow!"
Or make a run of flex
As good as th e next.
When you're sitting in the hall,
And they tell you that is all.
Well, you started way back when
They didn't halle a code.
You only knew Number ten would carry
50 much load.
They didn't have schools;
Pliers and screwdrivers were your only
tools.
Kno b and tube were good;
Your mouldmg was all wood.
As a helper, you bored holes
Till you enVied all Ihe moles.
Your boss cussed you out.
Said you were nothing but a lout.
And you didn't open your mouth.
Cleats were great,
If you put them up straight.
But they looked like hell,
II you couldn't make an ell.
As a lourneyman, you got paid,
And nothing much was said
If you were a little late-
The prellious night a date.
Now. that' s all past;
They've got you hard and fast.
So. you !ille on your pension
All the rest of your days
And wonder why
You are out of phase.

A Construction lineman
A construction lineman is a hard·
workm g man;
He bUilds power lines across our land.
long, hard hours are taken in stride,
Because he does his work Wi th pride.
Up early and off to the shop yard he
goes.
To load hiS truck With equipment and
poles;
Hard hat on his head, climbing boots
on his feet,
He is dressed for the work he's
expected to meet.
Sometimes, his job goes from place to
place,
And one sad fa ct he has to face
Is that. for certain, from time to time,
He Will halle to lealle hiS family behmd .
Over high mountams and across
deserts below,
On and on, these power lines go;
And when the job IS over, one thing he
knows:
He is always glad to get back home.

It's Up To You
life is God's gift.
Take care With a good mediC;
Bad symptoms do n'! Ignore,
For you may be no more.
Eat dally sparrngly;
You'll grow old gracefully.
Stop smokin g today,
The doctors say;
Watch out for alcohol,
Because that may be all.
Get some exercise.
If you are wise:
Be optimistic
To gai n some bliss.
Take a needed vacation
For energy compensation.
ThiS is my advice:
Follow It for a long life.

RETIREMENT TIME
The snow Is on the Chugachs,
Sun's o rbit's getting low,
The geese have Winged it southward,
And It is time for me to go.
Down to our southern forty·elght
And my beloved great Northwest,
Where I can live the life I've longed fo r
And take a good, real good rest.
For filty years, I've hi t the ball
For the other man for hire,
And now my pace has slackened some,
And It IS time I should retlfe.
I will take my httle pension,
Just to defray my hVlng cost,
And I 'll do my share 01 playmg
Without even a smgle boss.
I shall oil up my scatter gun
For pheasants, ducks, and Qual'
And keep my deep freeze loaded
Against the winter gale.
I shall polish up my fishing gear
For rainbow. b rooks, and brown,
And occasionally a limit catch
I hope to bring to town.
I'll make hand loads for my flfle
For a limit of elk and deer,
And I shall put them In cold storage;
They'lt last me most a year.
Now, it is the time to say, " Hasta
la vista,"
To my fnends In the FAA,
The swellest gang I've ever met
In the entire USA.
So, as I lealle your pleasant company,
I pray as the good easterners do
That the eternal love of Allah
Will always abide with you.
Wherever you choose to linger
Or wherever you may go,
May your hfe be filled With sunshine
And beautIful flowers grow.

 powder-Rctuated Tools
Require special precautions

Powder-actuated tools are

exten sively used in th e construc·
tion industry for fastening fix-
tures and materials to metal ,
precast, prestressed, conc rete,
masonry block , brick, stone and
wood surfaces, tightening rivets ,
and punching holes. Exploding
cart ridges provide the energy and
are ignited by means of a con ·
ventional percussion primer.
They should be treated with the
same respect as any other fire-
arms. The handling, storage and
control of explosive ca rtrid ges
for powder·actuated tools present
additional hazards. Specific
hazards include accidental dis-
charge, ricochets , ignition of
explosive or combustible atmos-
pheres, projectiles penetrating
the work , and flying dirt and
other particles. Operators must
be properly trained and qualified
and should wear adequate eye
protection and sa fety helmet
when firing the tool.
