We received word this Tues-
day morning that Bro. A. G. Mil-
lican had died in the Veterans’
Hospittal last Sunday night. iHs
services are to be held this after-
noon in the First Baptist Church
at Arlington. He suffered a stroke
several weeks ago and never re-
gained consciousness after being
admitted to the hospital. He join-
ed Local Union 198 in July, 1919
and held membership here most of
the time since that date. We are
not able to name his survivors
other than his wife and one broth-
er, Wm. F., a member of our local.
Bro. J. J. Zuber, who we re-
ported last week as having to re-
enter the hospital for another op-
eration, is in very serious condi-
tion at Methodist, Hospital. At
this time he can not have visitors.
Bro. John B. Fleming fell on
the Armory job at Mesquite and
broke his arm. We are not sure
but think he is now at his home.

A week later, another engineer
—also a union supporter—Cecil
Scroggins, was told he would have
to work in the cesspool as a pen-
alty for union activities.

There’s a Siberia in Dallas, Tex-
as, to which union-favoring em-
ployees of the Statler-Hilton re-
portedly can be sent when out of
favor with management.
Here’s the story, as told this
week by Kay Wyatt of the Hotel
and Restaurant Workers:
Local 353 of the Hotel and Res-
taurant Workers has been trying
to organize Texas hotels. In Oc-
tober of last year an election was
held' for employees of the Dallas
Statler-Hilton. The union lost—
because of • alleged management
pressures.
Mrs. Clara Irion, PBX operator,
veteran of 36 years with the tele-
phone company (CWA member;
life member, Telephone Pioneers
of America), and a 5%-year em-
ployee of the hotel, served as
union observer at the election.
In February of this year the
union processed unfair labor
charges against the hotel; the
Washington NLRB ordered the
hotel to cease and desist threaten-
ing employees because of union
activity. Mrs. Irion was the un-
ion’s chief witness at this hear-
ing.
On September 17, 1962—after
some months of harrassment—
Mrs. Irion was fired. The resi-
dent manager who discharged her
told her:
pers—but I am forced to let you
go."
On September 19, 1962, during
a convention of the Telephone
Pioneers, Local 353 put up an in-
formational picket Une—protesting
the treatment of Mrs. Irion.
Engineer Thomas .’ Gonzales—
who has been helping the union
inside the hotel:—walked the
picket line, on his day off. When
he went back to work the next
morning—he was assigned to

The second annual five-state
conference of Operating Engineers
opened Monday of this week in
the Danish Room of the Adolphus
Hotel for a three-day meeting.
E. L. Tedford, business repre-
sentative of Local 714, Hoisting
and Portable Engineers, intro-
duced County Judge Lew Sterrett,
who welcomed the delegates to
Dallas county. Allan L. Maley,
secretary of the Dallas AFL-CIO
Council introduced Mrs. Elizabeth
Blessing, city councilwoman, who
welcomed them to the city of
Dallas.
Others who delivered welcom-
ing addresses were Sheriff Bill
Decker and Assistant Chief of
Police, Charles Batchelor.
The conference’s president, V.
H. (Bill) Williams announced
there were some 60 or more dele-
gates, their wives and guests in
attendance.
There were delegates present
from as far away as New York
and California with the three
branches of the International
Union of Operating Engineers—
the Oil and Chemical, Hoisting
and Portable, and Stationary En-
gineers, being represented.
Paul A. Askew, assistant to
the general president, Hunter P.
Wharton and Reese Hammond,
from the general office in Wash-
ington, D. C., were in attendance.
Mr. Hammond is Education and
Research Director of the union.
Walter White of the Federal
Mediation and Conciliation Board
and Lester Graham, regional di-
rector of the national AFL-CIO,
gave addresses on the opening
day.
Mr. Askew brought a film-
an hour and a half in length—•
which showed “official” pictures
of John Glenn’s space flight.
This film was highly commend-
ed by those present.
Mr. Tedford was chairman of
the host committee.
President Ted Key of Local 714
was in attendance from the Dal-
las union.

uation, Knowles said. If the econ-
omy should rise to high levels of
employment, he said, “the total
cash flow to capital, including
both profits after taxes and de-
preciation funds, would reach
higher levels than would be need-
ed to finance the level of invest-
ment that business could main-
tain year after year without
developing excess capacity.”
These poliices, in some cases,
he noted, “have re-enforced
rather than offset the forces of
deflation originating in the pub-
lic sector (government) of the
economy.”
He predicted that it would not
be surprising, given the existing
situation and government policies,
if the gross national product and
unemployment both continued to
rise in coming months.
Taking into account existing
employment rates and figuring
in part-time joblessness as well as
the failure of th labor force to
meet growth ep e o t atio ns,
Knowles said the true current
rate was probably between 7 and
7.5 per cent of the labor force.
“There seems to be nothing in
the immediate picture, even on
the most optimistic assumptions,
which would significantly reduce
this rate.
Thfe is some reason for ex-
pecting the rate to rise in coming
months,” he declared.
Forty more welding machines
have arrived for the First Nation-
al Bank job. We have been send-
ing welders to the Republic Bank
job all last week for their test.
Some have failed to make the
test. But I don’t think this is
unusual. Any one is subject to
missing a test some- time.
I understand Fred Langston will
be in Dallas around the 15th of
October to start the First Nation-
al Bank job. Fred worked as a
foreman on the Republic Bank in
1953.
Fred has been elevated to
superintendent for several years
now. Fred runs a good job, and
is well thought of throughout the
country. This will be a much
larger building than the Republic
jured while working for F. B.
McIntire last week. He was told
by his doctor to stay in bed for
several days. W. R. Webb broke
his foot while working for Amer-
•ican Bridge. Ray Nelson hurt
his foot on the same job.
We hope these members will
not lose much time as a result of
the injuries they received.

economy in 1962 has "great un-
derlying vitality and strength”
but is “afflicted with all the
symptons of an artificially in-
duced deflation,” according to a
top government economist.
James W. Knowles, senior
economist with the Joint Econom-
ic Committee of Congress, told
the American Statistical Associa-
tion at its meeting here that pol-
icies adapted to meet the prob-
lems of the 19401b and early
1950’s are no longer pertinent
because the inflationary condi-
. tions of those periods have dis-
appeared.
The basic fault, he indicated,
was in the continuing gap be-
twee consumer income and invest-
ment income—a gap that has
been steadily widening since 1954,
when tax legislation went into
effect favoring Investment’ in-
come. The remedy, he continued,
was tax reform that would bring
the two types of income into
greater balance and bolster con-
sumer income to spur economic
growth.
Perhaps the most "significant
sympton” of the deflationary
trend is the low ratio of consumer
spending to the nation's total
spending for goods and services,
said Knowles. This weakness in
consumption, he added, can be
attributed mostly to the fact that
consumer after-tax income is too
low in relation to the economy’s
ability to produce.
' He declared that the recovery
from the 1960-61 recession "ap-
pears to be One of the weakest—
if not the weakest—since world
War I.” It is weaker than the
recovery from 1958-59, he said,
and that "was one of the weakest
■ recoveries since 1921."
There is a widening gap today,
between "potential output and
total demand which tends to re-
press prices, savings, employment
and investment." The automatic
stabilizers built into the economy
in the past 20 years, he added,
are now providing "powerful
brakes on the expansion of the
economy as well as stimulants
during contractions.”
The success of management in
reducing break-even points, to
provide insurance against cyclical
swings in demand, has resulted in
