ISEW-COPE :
Making Our
Voice Heard
In Congress
Unions advocate and firmly
believe whatever benefits the
workers and their families also
benefits the country a a whole,
thereby makmg it a better place
in which to live. Therefore, the
labor movement ha always
lought those who know no al-
legiance to anything but greed
and profit; because those who
are unscrupulous in their actions
again t workers also help to
weaken the economic and social
structure of the country.
Today the enemies of orga-
IUzed labor work very hard at
usmg antlUnion propaganda to
have the public view labor's leg·
islative goals with suspicion.
They like to imply that unions
are only a self-centered, selfish,
special-mterest group whose only
desire is to gain rugh wages and
place unreasonable demands on
employers. Those accusations are
far from the truth.
Ever ince organized labor
found it was necessary to take
an active part and rlay a leading
role in the politica arena ro pro·
teet the rights of organized work·
ers, labor has always put forth
efforts to sponsor and work for
the passage of specific legislation
designed to advance and protect
the riJdlts of all workers under
labor Taws. Therefore, when la·
bar asserts its voice through po'
litical action on behall of union
members and a victory is accom·
plished in the legislative halls,
all workers, organized and un·
organIzed, become beneficiaries.
The enemies of organized la-
bor arc continually scheming and
working to weaken and destroy
any legislation that enahles
workers to protect themselves.
The ultra-conservatives, the
right·wingers, the advocates of
"right-tO-work," and other an-
uunion groups join tOgether in
organized, nationwide political
campaigns for the purpose of de-
feating aU the friend of labor
and working very hard to elect
candidates who believe strictly
in antiunion principles. These
groups once again have already
organized Political Action Com-
mittees IPAC II to suppOrL their
candidates; and their voices will
be heard, too.
The coalition between certain
nght-wing, ultra-conservative
groups and antiunion employer
associations who claim to be
working in the best interest of
the workers and the country will,
through highly financcd propa·
ganda campaigns, hide and fal-
sify their real intentions of Trying
LO destroy the free collective bar·
gammg system so all the social
and economic gains of the work-
ers will be nullified. Contrary to
the aims and goals of labor, greed
and profi Lfor themselves alone
is their only real legislative goal.
Without a doubt, the anti-
union conservatives in Congress
who are blocking the progress of
the trade union movement must
be removed. However, to accom·
plish trus, it is necessary to elect
mends of labor; and one of the
bt:st ways for the members of
the Brotherhood and other AFL-
CIO affiliates is to support COPE
through voluntary contribu·
tions. The 1986 Voluntary Con·
tributionlBEW-COPE Books have
been mailed to the local unions.
The responsibility of the local
union officers is to contact the
mcmbersrup and ask for their
support in the COPE voluntary
contribu ti on campaign. It is a
very important congressional
election year, and labor must
help elect its friends and fight
hard to keep the antiunion forces
from gaining control of Con-
gress.
International Secretary Moore
and I urge you to participate in
IBEW·COPE. The slogan "Elect
our friends and defeat our ene-
mies" will be put to the test in
November, 1986. How success-
ful we are depends on your vi-
tally needed participation.
Your contributions to IBEW-
COPE can be thc answer for the
IBEW to help guarantee that la-
bor's candidates will win.

Harry Van Arsdale, Jr.
T he officers and members o( LocaJ
UIDon 3 mourn the personal 10» which
we ha\lc l:xpcricnccd 1D the death of OUI
Fmanclal Secretary, our re"ered friend.
Brotber Harry Van Ar,uale, jl. Like a
parent, Ha rry was always avatlablc when
we needed him the mOM, whether it was
to see k h,s counselo r just to talk out
our frustra ti ons. Althuugh wt:' knew het-
ter, we se lfb hly hoped that Ius days
would neve r end and tbat he would
always be th ere to lend us hi s eternal
optimism when thinge; scr m cd dim or
give us words of encouragement wheD
OUI goa ls were unsllr~.
Just as a parent nur tures and guides a
growing child, so it w .. that Harry loved
and devoled himself to the labor move-
ment in ge m: ra l and the IBEW In partic-
ular. He recognized that JDISU"Us t and
skepticism woul d divide us unless we
gOt to know and understand eac h othe r
beuer. Therefore, Harry always made the
time to II slen to what someone else had
on their mmds. So It was that he came
to share thc JOys and disapPolllllnCn tS of
the many thousands of union members
and others whom he went Out of his way
to meet and talk With. Oftcn It was from
thuse CUHVClsauons that a dream was
born or a program tnlt l3ted.
Then w ll h scemlngly boundless energy
and an mdom n <lble OptimiSm, Harry
would per;o n. ll y .pend long hours, bot h
day and night, mOllvauog his 3!tSOCJatcs
to work with him to find the m eans to
bring th so drea m s Into reality. Today
many of us en joy t he fm its of his labors.
Harry's intUitive foresight man iles ts i t·
sell in the many beneficial programs that
he initiated and foste red during his 53
years a .a local unio n office r and which
permi t OUt members to enj oy so me meas-
ure of security and dlgruty in the troubled
world around us.
Harry had an un ca nny ability to seck
Out and nurtu re th e wort h while q U;lliut:.lS
wlthm eac h of us. Then by s tl mu latmg
our consclcnce, he would channel OUI
energlcs tOward hc.lpmg others. His
greatcst plcasure seemed to come (rom
watching aSSOCia tes grow and develop
II1tO respon>lble leaders and be delighted
in their personal achlcvements, but al-
ways at u dlc;tancl~ :-.0 as no t to dctraCl
from the md lvidual's ~lgru..6cance.
Harry b3W the t rade union movement
as the socia l ilnd economic con cience
of Ollr nation and the only means by
whIch Amcrlca.n workers could confi-
dently prOVIde a betler hfe fo r their fam·
llics, He also und erstood that the key to
a succcs8ful 1:t.bor o rg.mlZ3 u on was the
system atic Involvement of th e greatest
4 I IBEW JOURNAlI APRIL 1986
number of ItS members. He regarded any
member's compla cency or 3pathy to be
a personal dC£cat , and he would go out
of hiS way LO renew their interes t in the
work of the UnIon, He knew that truc
undcrsta ndlng of a problem only comcs
from active ly partlcipating in the solu-
n on; and th.:Il ~1I1 1.J-1I1Jg.h tencd member-
sh,p would then zea lously safeguord mell
union's accomplishments because they
gave 3 part of themselves to Win them.
Harry wisely recognized that member·
ship Involvement on the mynad of com·
mlttCCS Within our umon \""as also a
means for the officers and bUSiness rep·
u'scntatlvcs to know und un derstand our
mcmbe rshlp bettcr so that we can truly
rcpresent them belter. O ut of thc~e ac-
tlvities has grown II mutual respect fo r
eac h orner's integrity .nd developed the
bonds of mutual trust th at are essential
for a group of individuals to function in
harmon y 3 8 a union.
Harry looked upon educa.tion as ao-
otile! Import ant f::actor csscntia.l to ou r
local uni on 's success. He was constan tl y
urgi.ng our members to return to school
for many rea ns. In a bigh-tech industry
u h as. OU TS, education is a lifelong
commit m en l just to Slay abreast of tbe
rapid technological ch.nges tha, thre.ten
to engulf us and affect thc sccunry of
our future workopportllnlClcs Hilrry also
bell cved mat. full unde rstand ing of our
nation 's history and the developmen t of
the labor movement WithIn It was the
best assurance that pasl Illistakes would
nOt be repeated. He rcaltzed that trades·
men, with all thClf expcrtisc and prat>
tical knowledge, were consistently ex-
cluded from key posit1ons 10 our society
,f they did not also possess me necessary
academ,c credential th.t would attest
to their :1bilitlcs. He W3S a Lim] bcIJevcr
that practical m en deve loped pr3ctical,
wurkaLlc ~v luliolls w hil e th ose skI lled
on ly III theory only seemed capa ble of
promotmg theoretical solu uons to the
many senous problems Ihrcatening ou r
ociery.
FlllaUy, It "ked Harry to ",tness the
latent tale'H of otber> go undeveloped
bec.use of the Individual's distntercs! or
reluctance to gam the lonnal educ!lLton
that was required j or because no educa-
tional facility or program was available
with tbe flcx lbliHy necessary to accom-
modate the schedules of wnrkingmen
and women; or because of the bu rden-
ome COSt of educati.on It charactc.:.rizcd
H.rry 's view of his work a the oppor·
tunity to learn fr m eac h othet.
Throughout hls hie Harry shunn ed
personal rcwa rd s or £lowery accolades for
hlS many accomphsh m cn ts. In fac t, he
constantly gave all the crcdlt to others
for what in reali ty was the small part
th ey had played in bringmg forth his
dream s. I bel,eve hi s o nl y des ire for
tribu te was his (crvcnt hope that the
lesso ns that he had 3t1 cmpted to teach
uS Iu d not fallen on dea f cars and that
we wou ld not neglect the spa rk that he
had c",dull y kindled w ithin each of us.
If we truly learued th e lessoD tbat he

TO ALL IBEWMEMBERS

Dear Sisters and Brothers:

The Uni ted States Savings Bonds Program has long had the support of
this union and all organized labor. That's because Savings Bonds help protect
workingmen and women and their famil ies from financial hardship, while
also strengthening the nation's economy.

Always a good deal in the past, Savings Bonds are now better than ever
thanks to market-based interest. This interest formula gives bonds the
flexibility to keep pace with market rates, no matter how high they may
go. If rates plummet, bonds have the added protection of a guaranteed minimum
return of 7.5 percent. All bonds held at least five years are eligible
for this variable rate, including old Series E and EE Bonds and Savings
Notes.

Savings Bonds can be purchased at banks or through the popular payrol I

savings plan_ The plan provides an easy, convenient, systematic method
of accumulating financial reserves. You decide how much to set aside from
each paycheck to buy bonds; and when the purchase price is met, the bond
is issued.

Every bond you buy helps bui ld a more secure fut ure for you and for
America too. Bond sales help reduce the Treasury's need to borrow in the
open market, making more funds available for business expansion and moderniza-
tion, which creates new jobs .

Bonds are also guaranteed. If they are lost, stolen or destroyed,

they are replaced free of charge with no loss of interest.

The IBEW has been a longtime friend and enthusiastic supporter of the
Savings ' Bonds Program, and we urge you to join us in supporting the Program.
If you are presently enrolled in the payroll savings plan (or Savings Bonds,
co ns ide r increaSing your rate of saving. If you are not e nrolled in the
plan, think about how bonds can help you and your family to a more prosperou s
future, and then sign up.

Be s t wi 5 he s .

Fraternally yours,

Charles H. Pillard

 NEBF PENSION BENEFIT INCREASED

Intemational President Charles H. Pillard and Inter-
national Secretary Jack F. Moore are pleased to
announCe that the National Electrical Benefit Fund
pension benefits were Increased effective March 1,
1986
The announcement signifies that those persons who
are eligible under the NEBF Employees Benefit Agree-
ment between the IntemalionaJ Brotherhood of Elec-
trical Workers and the National Electrical Contractors
Association will receive Increased pension payments.
The National Employees Benefit Board of the NEBF
recommendod and the parties to the Agreement
approved that the NE8F normal reLJrement benefi t be
increased from $11 .00 per month to $13.00 per month
service crecM for anyone r'etinng on Or after March 1,
1986 The Board also recommended that those pres-
ently on the NEBF pension (OIlS receive a 5 percent
Increase In the amount of pension benefit which they
are presently receiving Early rotirement benefits
also be increased to $13.00 per month per service
credit minus 60/3 percent reduction for each year the
partiCipant is under the age of 65 Dlsabllity benehts
will be computed at the rate of $13.00 per service
credit with a minimum benefit of $260.00 per month.
President Pillard said, "n IS always a pleasure to
announce an Increase In benefits SUCh 05 this when
they are made rrom time to time; but it IS most
gratifying to looK back just a few short years and note
that Since July 1,1977, we have been able to increase
the base pension benefits from $3.00 per month to
$13.00 per month for each year of service credit. We
have also been able to increase the pension payments
to those already on the NEBF pension rOils by a 94
percent total accumulated increase during this same
pertod o f time "
President Pillard also noted that these substantial
improvements along with the basiC pension program
and its new level of hflneflts have prospered from the
commi tment by representatives of both NECA and
the IBEW worKing together to bring a better life to
those who retire after devoting many years to the
electrical industry.
The ISEW Board members are Intem~tional Pres!·
dent Charles H . Pillard , International Secretary Jack F.
W ill Moore, all the members of the Intematlonal Executive
Cou"cll and the Administrative Assistant to the Pres-
Ident. Anthony J . Salamone.

Graduation
I looked at you Ihe other day
So grown-up in your ways,
And wondered where the time had
gone
The hours and the days.
How cou ld you grow so quickly?
When did you grow so tall ?
I try but ca n' t remember
The years when you were small.
It seems sometimes we're
st range rs;
The past so far behind;
The years when we were all there
A figment of my mind .
I can't quite understand it;
The time has gone so fast.
I often wish fo r simp le times
And hours from our past.
And the child answers. , .
But surely I remember
All Ihose childhood things.
It's just Ihat now the time
is righl
For me 10 Iry my wings.
So I ask your underSland in g
Fo r Ihe limes when I may fal l.
There was someone there to ca lch
me
AI my first step after all.
And when we walk logether,
Forgive me if I run ;
I'll lire, and I'll wait
for you;
But my new life has begun .

The Dew Drops
Some special morn in gs al sunri e
A beauliful treal awai ls your eyes,
For spa rkling diamonds of
dewdrops
Reflecl Ihe day' s sunrise.
Reflections from Ihese dewd rops
Are jusl like me and you ,
For see n from different angles
They reflect a differenl hue.
W it h all th ei r bea uty these
dewdrops
Meet a very special need,
Fo r th ey afford the moisture
Needed by some ti ny eed .
Bul jusl like uS th e e dewdrop
Are nOI PUI here 10 lasl ;
For all their spark li ng beauty,
They, too, wilher in the blast.
And we should pray that like Ihese
dewdrops
We sparkle in our Master's eye;
And like the dewdrops , nurture
Some promise befo re we die.

No Brighter Thing
There i one Ihing I rea lly love-
To feel as free as a lone dove.
To walk alone, and gaze at Ihings
Grea l MOlher Nature brings .
I love 10 si t and watch the Slars
Away from all Ihe noi e and car
And wilh Ihe sounds of nature
sweel
Of lovely things thaI ca n't
compete .
But most of all I hoose the stars
To rid me of my awful blues;
To cheer me up if I am mad ,
And 10 forge t the day I've had ,
They seem to make me happier,
And with the moon I feel sure
That all mankind can feel as 1-
The pre ttiesl thing is Ihe sky.
So dark and loneso me is Ihe nigh I,
But wilh Ihe slars iI 'S oh, so bright!
All slars show brighlness 10
mankind .
No brighter th ing will ever bli nd a
slar!

He was as full as beans as anyone;
Just anal her damned good guy.
Hi s laughte r wa so contagiou s,
And so w e've wond ered why
Things had 10 go the way Ihey
have-
A mangled , langled life
For a rugged man who work ed and
lau ghed
And loved his kids and wife.
He had real smarls. A wireman,
We'd say, a good as most.
Concentric bends, ci rcui try,
He could even boast
Of being good on service trucks,
Whi ch some avoid.
Bul wilh his keen abilities
It all could be enjoyed.
He'd been a Iramp, as we' ve all
been ,
Trying 10 make a go;
Trying 10 make it on th e road .
When things at home were slow,
His humor helped to ease Ih e load .
He seemed to sense when you
Were homesick for your wife and
kids,
When everything was blue .
He doesn't Iravel anymore;
It sta rted God knows when .
Bul all al once Ihe guy'd get 1051,
And Ihen gel 1051 again.
All the fellows Iried to help ,
But , lord , what 10 do?
It was something far beyond our
help,
But we never had a clue.
Today he is inco ntinenl ;
His loving wife does all
A human being cou ld ever do .
II' s enough to make you bawl.
He do sn't even know his kids .
Course now, we all know why,
And also whal did happen
To ruin Ihat nice guy- Alzheimers!
