Cracks Down on
Holdout Landlords
Hello, Bros. !
Just another word from your
Business Rep. We still have a few
of our members in tme hospital, and
they are as followsa
Bro. F. L Searcyshag an emer-
gency operation last Friday night,
so far he is doing good. He lives
at 4611 W. Amherst.
Bro. L R. Huffman is still in
V.A. Hospital. Also Bro. O. H
Grubbs and Bro. Joe Bailey for a
check up. We want to wish these
Bros, a speedy recovery,
Bro. Dan Hollon Jr. is on vaca-
tion this week, and Bro. Joe Cathey
is pinch hitting for him. Bro. Dan
and family are in "cool” Colorado.
Sure hope he is enjoying the cool
evenings, and not the heat we’ve
had here.
Bro. Roy has signed two new con-
tractors to our rolls, a Mr. Roy
Lay and Mr. James Parker. Each
one brought in some good men.
We will have to help these new
members, as we all needed help
at one time.
Bro. Monk Billups did it again.
In Amarillo, Texas, but will let him
give you more on that next week
as he wants to put some pictures
in the paper, and tell you all about
it.
Work is still good. We have
everyone working that wants to
work. As I said before, work is
good, and looks good the rest of
the year, 1971.

THE DALLAS CJA F T S M A N
Washington.—The House voted
to raise the government’s share of
the cost of health insurance for
federal employees to 50 percent
of the premium cost — approxi-
mately double what it is paying
now.
It rejected—by a 199-147 vote—
an Administration proposal to peg
the government contribution at
38 percent of the cost, substanti-
ally less than virtually all private
employers pay.
Under present law, the federal
government in its role as an em-
ployer of more than 2 million work-
ers pays a fixed dollar amount that
averages about 24 percent of the
cost of health insurance policies.
This means that federal employees
have had to pay more than three-
fourths of the cost, even though an
increasing number of workers in
private industry have the full cost
paid by their employers.
The dollar amount paid by the
government under the 10-year-old
federal employee health benefit
program initially averaged about
38 percent of the cost, but the
steady rise in health insurance
costs eroded the amount to 24 per-
cent. Federal employees have a
choice of a wide assortment of
plans to choose from, so the prem-
ium percentage represents an over-
all average.
Under the House bill, the gov-
ernment’s contribution to health
insurance premiums would be 50
percent of the average cost of the
high-option programs of the six
largest insurance plans which en-
roll about 90 percent of federal em-
ployees.
We had another very good mem-
bership meeting last night in spite
of all the special activities and
James Brown being in town. We
were able to get several things
accomplished and one we were
happy to be involved in was the
Jerry Lewis Muscular Dystrophy
Labor Day weekend. A nationwide
Labor Day Telethon televised on
KDTV—channel 39.
Making the last day completion
John A Cinquemani, executive
secretary of the Los Angeles
Building and Construction Trades
Council and one of the signers of
the agreement, told the press that
"one important ingredient is miss-
ing—jobs” and urged the council
to take “bold steps to create jobs
in the city.”
All three agreements will span
five years. The original Boston
agreement is for one year, renew-
able annually for a total of five
years overall. Denver set up an
18-month program originally, also
with extensions to five years, and
the Los Angeles agreement is for
five years with year-to-year ex-
tensions on a self-renewing basis
after that.

Our staff at this time is taking

Bro. Melvin Lee has recently con-

I plan to go to the Texarkana

Looking forward to reporting

Since the unions who have con-

Washington — Area-wide agree-
ments to bring an increasing num-
ber of black workers and other
minority-group members into the
building trades have been signed
in three more cities—Boston, Den-
ver and Los Angeles.
The plans, similar to earlier
agreements worked out in Chicago
and Pittsburgh, provide for re-
cruiting, counseling and placing
of minority-group members at all
levels of the building crafts.
All three plans call for pre-
apprenticeship training and ap-
prenticeship entry, but also for
upgrading to journeyman status
for older workers with some ex-
perience in a craft.
In each instance, the agree-
ment was signed by representa-
tives of the local Building Trades
Council, the contractors associa-
tion and representatives of minor-
ity organizations.
In Boston, the signatories in-
cluded the Workers Defense
League, one of the original groups
which set up Apprenticeship Out-
reach, a three-year-old program
which has placed over 6,000 ap-
prentices in more than 60 cities.
Outreach was subsequently ex-
panded to include upgrading to
journeyman status.
All three of the new agree-
ments established boards to over-
see the program.
In Los Angeles, the board will
consist of 20 members, four each
from the building trades and con-
structors association and 12 from
minority -group organizations.
Those 12 are broken down to four
spots for Negroes, four for Mexi-
can-Americans, three for Asians
and one American Indian.
Similarly, the Boston agreement
established a 9-man board, three
each from union, contractors and
minority groups. The Denver plan
has a 12-member board, including
six from minority organizations.
In Boston, the board in turn
created a non-profit organization
which will use a $500,000 grant
from the Dept, of Labor to ad-
minister the program. The Los
Angeles agreement calls for each
craft to establish an operations
committee which wilf classify ap-
plicants for jobs at the appropri-
ate level—apprentice, trainee or
journeyman.
The Los Angeles agreement was
signed at a meeting of the full
city council with press coverage.

New York—City officials began
cracking down on holdout land-
lords who have refused to sign
contracts negotiated with the Ser-
vice Employees.
At the request of Mayor Lind-
say, the City Corporation Counsel
went to court for restraining ord-
ers. Manhattan Supreme Court
Justice Margaret Managan issued
an injunction ordering four own-
ers’ associations an l their leaders
to stop endangering public health
and welfare by withholding essen-
tial services from apartment ten-
ants.
SEIU Local 32B, representing
maintenance and service workers,
struck more than 200 landlords
who balked at observing a con-
tract agreement reached several
weeks ago. The landlords charged
that increases voted by the City
Council for rent-controlled apart-
ments were too small.
After the strike started the city
sent notices instructing balky
landlords to reduce rents to com-
pensate tenants for lack of ser-
vices. Then it asked for court
injunctions.
In June the union negotiated a
three-year agreement with build-
ing operators represented by the
Realty Advisory Board. The con-
tract provided wagMikes of $40
a week over the contract term,
and some other benefits to 25,000
union members serving 5,000
apartment buildings in Manhat-
tan, Brooklyn and Queens.
