Building an America
That Works
For Everyone
• The AFL·CIO in expressing its
policy views on the major issues
facing the nation to the platform
cornrninees of both political parties
rece!llly made it very clear that
issues and not personalities should
be Ihe basis upon which the American
people determine their vote in
November. Dolh parties have been
informed that the AFL-CIO and its
affi liates expect the parties to present
their proposals factually and
honestly and that the presidential
nominee and the legislative leaders
who are elected will keep their
respective party's word as set-forth
in the platform at their party's
national convention.
The AFL-CiO in its political beliefs
forwarded to the Republican
and Democrat platform committees
conveyed the message that plat·
fo rms should unify rather than
divide and that it is performance
and not promises that should provide
the electorate the opportunity
to make a decision based on issues
rather than personalities. The AFL-
2 I IIEW J ournal
EDITORIAL COMMENT
C10 and its affiliates and the rest of
organized labor have asked both
national political parties to construct
platforms for building an
America that works for everyone.
Labor has asked for a commitment
from both political panics to
work for and promote a growing,
healthy and expanding economy.
The AFL-C10 believes that in a
democratic society it is wrong for
one group to impose lower expectations
on ,mother group, 10 demand
a degree of sacrifi ce not demanded
of all, and to permit exploitation of
some for profit of others. 11le nation
ngreed with this principle when
it enacted labor sponsored laws
prohibiting child labor and establishment
of a fair minimum wage,
sa fety and health in the work place,
protecting prevailing wages and
most importantly o( all, permilling
workers to have their own free
choice whether or not to join unions
and bargain collectively with thei r
employers.
The American trade labor movement
also believes and supports the
general welfare, of educating the
young, o( (ceding the hungry, of
providing security to the elderly and
also medical care for the poor.
Organized labor was a leader in the
struggle to eliminate segreg:lIion
and discrimination against minorities
and women and believes it is
the vital responsibility of the government
· to assure and protect the
civil rights of all its citizens.
The AFL-CIO and its affiliates
promote the ratification of the Equal
Rights Amendment to the Constitution
and has asked for support in
developing an affirmative action
program :lgainst discrimination of
handicapped individuals. Labor believes
equality should be a constitutiona[
right and should not have to
be the sum of piecemeal legi slation.
The IBEW has always supported
economic policies and programs
that promote full emp[oymelll and
balanced economic growth and
sincerely has worked with labor,
management rind the government to
provide job opportunities for its
members and all Americans. We
firmly believe thai bolh political
parties should unflinchingly promote
policies that should strengthen the
national economy by a full employ·
ment policy, Ihat both panics
should work to assure soci:l! justice
and equity in the fight against recession
and inflation, move faster toward
energy independence, rebuild
weakened industries, protect the environment
and promote interna·
tional negotiations and agreements
that will safeguard Americans but
not be II party to any reduction of
nuclear weapons or to stop strengthening
our defense systems that
would eventually weaken our nationa[
security.
As we go to press one major
political party has completed its
national convention. Until the other
political party has had a chance to
prese nt its platform. we will not
make an evaluation or comparison
between the platforms of the twO
parties. This will bc donc in forth
coming issues of the Journal.
From now on until Election Day
in November, we will be subjected
to an abundance of politicul rhetoric
through Ihe avenues of the news
media in print and on TV and radio.
Of course, all those running for
onice will claim to be a friend of
working men and women. The votmg
records o( the incumbents are
there to be judged. there can be no
doubt as to their true position on
labor matters. The background o(
the new office seekers can be used
as the guideline of just how much
can be expected of them in the
worker's interest. Again, I urge our
members to take the time to study
the records of the candidates. I am
still of the opinion that when a
union member takes a good look at
the COPE endorsed candidates a
vote will be cust for union backed
candidates.

were ph::ased out of circulation by the
ga§Olinc cngine. Now, as .... e approach
the turn of another century, it seems possible
Ih:ll, with new developments, electric
vehicles will become economically
competitive with internal combustion
machines.
The development of a new, practical
propulsion system for the clttlric vehicle
could nOI come at a more favorable lime.
for our nation is in great need of a me:lns
of transportation that i~ quiet, safe, cleanoperating,
and fuel -efficient. Two companie~
ha ... e made important strides th at
should pro ... ide the impetus for the rebirth
of the (!iectric car with its long-awaited,
but unfulfilled, promi\e.
Zinc-Chlorine Uallcry
Gulf & Western l ndu~tries had begun
work on a superballcry to allow electric
utilities to store energy at night so it
would be a ... ailable for IISC during peak
demand periods in the daytime. The cost
of research was funded in half by the
U.S. Department of Energy and the
FlecHic Power Research Institute. Along
the way, the possibility of IIsing this type
of bauery as the po .... er source for electric
... ehicles was recognized, and de ... elopment
o f the battery proceeded. As a
result, the zinc-ch lorine battery pro ... ide~
a system that could male electric cars
cheaper to run than con ... entional C:lTS.

more than 600.000 barrels of oil :1 day
by the turn of the eenlUry. lt could be
the answer to the f:lmily's need for a sec·
ond car fo r short-run trips to the ollice.
the shopping center. etc.
Chlorine and zinc arc cheap, abundant
elements that have long been realized as
providing the polential for a b:luery that
would operate Ilt a low cost while providing
plenty of energy. The corrosive and
poisonous qualities of chlorine have been
alle ... iated ..... ith the discovery that chlorine
can be stored safely .... hen mi>.:cd .... ith
chilled water, resulting in chlorine hydr:lte,
a sherbet-like slush. that .... ill yield
chlorine only when warmed lind then at
a slow and controllable rate. The chlorine-hydrate
slush is stored in an inexpensive
type of poly ... inylchloride tank in the
fronl of the ... ehicle. When the hydrate is
wanncd. it releases chlorine intO the
electrolyte, .... hich is pumped back to zinccoated
plates of inexpcnsi\ie and inert
graphite in the cell stack. ( T hi~ stack of
graphite 1'1 lites dues not shed p:lrticlcs
during the electricity-making proce" .md.
th.:!rcforc, docs not deteriorate II'> the
metal plates in a conventional battery do.
lt also appears that these graphite plate~
can be recharged indefinitely.) The
chlorine reacts ..... ith the zinc to produce
electricity and zinc chloride. The clcc+
trieity po .... ers a DC motor, w hich drive~
the wheds, and provides the energy for
the battery's pump. The amount of po ... er
is controlled by an electronic microprocessor
embedded in the ~ystem. As the
dri ....:!r
accclerates or deccJer:ltC'O. the
mieroproce~wr lells the pump to ~pccd
or to slow the flow of chlorine from the
chlorine-hydrate slush.
Charging is don.:! at II 220-... 0It AC outlet
for about six to eight hour~. During
the charging proce~~. the zinc i~ redeposited
upon the platcs ..... hile the chlorine
is pumped to the front and r ..... tored

So far, th is zinc-chlorine ballcry ')'s·

charging cydes, the equi ... alent of 200.000
miles of dri ... ing. The battery has been
\losted only in existing automobile modds

Pearl S. Buck: Citizen of Two Worlds
Her childhood .... as certainly not .... hat
one "Quid call a typical American childhood.
In her r1ulobiogmphy. Pearl S. Buck
records Ihlll she ""'ilS rcared in IWO worlds
- the "orld of her Amencan missionary
p:\rcnl~ and the world of a vast and
Cllp!iv:!linC China. She WM in the cllrioll~
position of c)lisling "in one world and
not of il. and belonging to another v.orld
and yet not of it." Ncvcrthdc~5 she continually
attempted to bridge both world~:
she "belonged as much to the onc as to
the other," according \0 her autobiography.
Even when her IwO world~ came
10 a more definite diYi~ion al the lime
when she chose 10 scllll! permanently in
the U.S .. she actually never Jert her other
c1(i~tencc far behind.
Pearl Comfort Sydcnstrickcr was born
in the United States, but was taken to
China as an infant by hcr missionary
pareOls .... here she remained until she .... as
17 years old.
During these early and adolcseent )'ears
in China. the culture of the Chinese
people WII\ indelibly ingrained into the
child's mind and imagination. She was
surrounded by Buddhi~ t temples. ornate
pagooa\, ~t:ltues of unknown gods.
strange ritllflls and rite'!. and endless taics
of Chinese ancestors and family traditions.
T he Syden~tricker~ chose not to live at
the American missionllry compound: thcy
found it too cold and aloof. Instead they
preferred to live and work among the
natives. Thlls Pearl grew up in very close
contact with Chinese people. She loved
to sit for hours and listen to their storie~
and ask countless questions. She spokc
Chinese before she spoke English, but she
came to read and .... rite English ~ooner
than Chine'le.
But Pearl's life was not completely
oriented to the East: her mother, Caroline
Sydenstricker, saw to that. She gave her
dauJ;hter considerable instruction In
Eng l i~h .... ilh frequent writing e:'(erciscs
and told her endlC\s stories about the
fami ly's relatives and ance~ t ors in
America.
Pea rl also learned abo\lt the West
throuJ;h her i nce~Slln t reading. n ecause
there were very few children's books
available, most of thc books she read
were classical English and American
t6 I 'lEW Jou.no l
novels. Often when she ran out of new
material to read. she .... ould rere:llj Dickens
or Shake~peare.
Therefore, Pearl Syden'!tricker had
quite a varied background .... hen she left
China in 1910 to attend Randolph-Macon
Womun's College in Virginia.
it is agreed on by most critic'! and
readers that the greatest .... ork of Pearl
l1uck's wriling career and the one for
which she is bc~t kno\\n is Til., Good
E(",II. publi~hed
in 19) I. Thc book, for

a lengthy narrative about the hi~tory :md
life of a Chinese peasant family.
When she ~at do .... n 10 .... rile the book.
!luek admitted that there was no plot or
plan, just the idea of a pea'!ant farm
family. But she felt she could draw on
her personnl ex pcricnce~ to .... rite a mC:Hlingful
pieee of work. She recalled the

L U. I!!O!!, WA I,TIIAM, MASS.- An ell ito rinl
recently ap peared in the Bosroll G lobe, th ut
journalistic citadel of libe ral ism. It called for
II na tionwIde program to de velop Ame rica's
vaM coal reserves e,'l" 0/ the exPCll5C QI l llvi.Q"
mtn/o/ concerns. America, the Globe
argued. had to break the tyrannical grip of
OPEC whose monOpOlistic oil pOlicies have
sapped the economic strength of the Wesl, and
jeopardized prospects for the elimination of
poverty and inequality. Implicit in the editorial
wu the admission that prolress toward
social jU'lIice requires the creation of additional
wealth and not mercty its redistribution from
the more to the less fortunate. When the na.
lion's treasures arc being mortl aged to satisfy
the appetite of an insatiable cartel. liberal proarums
must be the first easuslly .
The Globe. therefore, calls for a tempOt3ry
relnntion of environmental restrictions upon
the mining and use of coal. Let us all shout
hosnnnohs in celebrntion of this happy day .
Imagine-the Globe aceeplS the obvious:
that the first imperative is lurvinl; that progress
has a price tag; an" thM liberal aspirations
arc forfeit unless the American economy is
freed from its chains. Arc we witnessing D
return of responsibility to Amcricun liberalism
which was once a marriage of hope and rwlism?
We hope so.
A dinner honoring memberl with 2S or more
years of service WOJ held J une 29 8t the Chris·
tian Formation groundS near the West Andover
I'lont. This affair since its inception hu been
a pllre delight for those who allen" and those
who serve. Wise men have nld that it is im_
possible to please everybody. We o11er this
annual dinner as proof that sometimes it is
pOSSible.
At a recent meeting PI the m EW Hall in
Waltham. our prcsident, Art Osborn, spoke of
the ominous political and economic develOpments
which have darkened prospects for the
'80s. lie stressed the need for union members
to become more aClive and more a;&1cssive in
assert in, their own interests .
lie noted thai many union members seem
contcnt to leave the struggle in the political
arena to their union officers. Such an attitude
was naive and unwi~, he warned, an" would
lead to political ehanlCS damag;nll the lives
of working people.
We have said beforc Dnd we will rel'Cat that
Ihe effectiveness of union spokesmen depends
entirely upon the perception that they speak
for someone. When thc politicians believc that
the lea"ers of labor unions speak only for
themselves, they cea~e to li~ten. Workers must
demonstrate, when called upon \0 do so, thn t
they support their unions whe n they lobby in
behalf of working people.
As the tinanci31 power of the rich gro~.
armed with so-called political petion committees
with unlimited funds, it is vital for work_
ina people to participate in the pOlitieal battles
that lie ahead. SuppOrt COPE and p!rticipale

The Good Old Ca mp Life
With houses alike all in a row,
Each with a bit of lawn to mow,
II comforts some for one to know
• The rent of same is very low.
Hooray for camp life!
Kids out yelling in the yard;
Dad complaining that he's tired;
Mom says "This life is very hard.
It's no longer fun just playing
cards!
Th is boring camp life!
When neighbors put you to the
test,
You try to ge t along your best
Wi thout involving all the fest
In one giant useless slugging fest.
Th at's part of camp li fe.
There are summers w arm and
evenings cool,
Potluck suppers at the school,
With foods to set you r mouth
adroal,
And you forget diet's rules.
The joys of camp life!
It's not all bad frOIll day to day,
Though some prefer another way,
And move to lawn with no delay,
•
While others-they just stay and
stay.
They love the camp life.
What camp life means to each of
you,
Depends upon your point of view.
But there must still be quite a few
People who pay tribute to
The good old camp life.

Conscience
There is a linle something insi de
me
That guides my every move.
It seems like something helps me,
My worth to surely prove.
When J do wrong, it prods me
And keeps me in a straight line.
I'm not sure where it comes from,
But r suspect it must be divine.
That feeling is always with me,
In everything that I do.
Thai little push to help me and
Keep my path straight and true.
That little something is my
conscience,
I know that for a fact.
If r don't follow II,
I'd really be off track.
I'm glad I have that lillIe help,
To push me through the day.
AI times it punishes me-
I wo uldn't have it any other way .
As long as I have my conscience,
I don't have to worry a bit.
Because I know I'm living right,
My record I'll submit.

A Sa lute to the Tree Trimmers
Of the Electric Companies
When the strong winds begin to
blow,
And th e phone docs ring,
It's to tell you trees are down,
And you mus t come in.
For the wife il means another
night,
Of being all alone,
And waking up now and then
To see if you are home.
You take chances no other man
would take,
You 're there to meet the task;
Knowing a fall or shock may come
And it could be your last.
You're sen I to olher sta les to do
your job,
Till all hours of the night,
But still you keep on working
Because you know it's right.
You have to take
A lot of fl ack,
You miss precious slee p
That's nol gained back.
Because you get such lillie praise
For the jobs Ihat you do;
These verses arc for all to read
To thank you for your loyal deeds.
