Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - February 13, 1970, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it pleasant news vol. 92, no. 37mt. Pleasant Iowa Friday evening february 13, 1970 Price to cent these Days by John Chamberlain the lessons of the be strike the general electric strike settlement which came after some three months of rather bitter controversy will be studied for a Long time by those seeking clues to the future course of the . Economy. The questions raised by the pattern of the negotiations and the nature of the final Accord ratify in a score of directions. How inflationary was the settlement what did the strike prove about the merits of a coalition bargaining did it disrupt the be labor policy known As a Boul arism a and what is a Boulwa Rismo anyway will the workers Ever recoup what they lost in wages by three months of idleness what about gets a lost markets Over $9 million in narcotics seized new York up a Federal and City narcotics agent seized heroin and cocaine they valued at $9 million on the illegal Market in raids late thursday night that resulted in the arrests of three men. Queens District attorney Thomas j. Mackell said two of the sue Agnew places emphasis on a a aptitude trying to pin Down the answers to questions is bound to be Elus Ive but some fairly definite things May be said. The settlement was of course a bit inflationary be is committed to paying general wage and coat of living increases that could go As High As seventy four cents an hour or even More Over forty months. But the Nixon administration can be Happy that the unions did not get All they asked for the be position is that the com Pany managed to stay close to the a approximate Levels of its Early a fair and firm offers. The Settle ment is according to both Union and management spokesmen a not super inflationary in today a economic assuming that other labor settlements will be affected by the be Accord we can say that the a Cost push impetus to inflation is at least slowing Down a Little a More disturbing conclusion is that the combination of a coalition bargaining and compulsory strike benefits As paid out by the state in new York and Rhode Island serves to prolong strikes. The be workers Are represented by Many unions and it May seem reasonable at first Blush to argue that the unions must bargain As a coalition if they Are to match the economic strength of their employer. But Between big be unions As the International Union of electrical workers and the United electrical workers at one end of the scale and the Small be contingent represented by the United automobile workers 7,800 be employees and the teamsters 1,200 in be there is a vast difference. The automobile workers interest in a be settlement must be predicated largely on its effect As a precedent on next autumn a negotiations in Detroit with the big automobile manufacturers. It would be to the Auto workers advantage nationally to hold out for a bigger be settlement even to the Point of frustrating the attempt of the electrical workers unions to reach an earlier 1 Compromise. Too As for the strike benefits paid for ultimately by management and the taxpayers in new York and Rhode Island it May be Worth noting that the Syracuse and Schenectady units in new York state were less willing to endorse the final settlement than units in Cleveland Ohio and other cities where strikers Are not subsidized to remain Idle. Why a a society should compensate strikers for loss of wages yet do nothing to compensate management for its loss of markets during a strike in a mystery. Even with the new York state strike benefits the be workers lost an average of $2,000 each by being idled for three months. Multiply the $2,000 by 133,-000 strikers and you get a whopping figure of $266,000,000. Be will have to acquire Many new markets a and pay considerable overtime a for the workers to recoup what they have lost. Too As for a Boul arism a a labor policy which the be unions have said is a a rigid because it begins with a a a firm offer the be management Chicago up a vice president Spiro t. Agnew blasting a supercilious sophisticates who advocate a quota systems for admission to the nations College and universities says the Only quota should be pets arrested were members of an International narcotics smuggling ring. He said a four month investigation indicated the narcotics were smuggled into the United states from France by a ring that May Date to world War ii. Too detectives said they arrested Frank Hughes 56, of Newark n.j., in front of a Manhattan apartment. They said they picked up James Cohen 37, inside the apartment then went to Queens where they apprehended Felix Martinez 38. Mackell said More arrests May be made shortly. Too Mackell said agents and officers confiscated 19.8 pounds of pure heroin with a a a Street value of $5.4 million and la pounds of cocaine which he valued at $3.75 million on the illicit Market. They also seized some $12,000 in Cash. F i and woman arrest kidnapping suspect Whittier Calif.
