Our November meeting was held
in the home of Connie Gricius. We
had a Chinese auction and fun was
had by all, plus some money added
to the treasury. The December
meeting will be held in the home
of Panjo Hicks, 9216 Freeport,
December 7, 7 p.m. This will be a
covered dish dinner and gifts will
be exchanged.
This is to notify each one that
there will be a Special Call Meet-
ing, Tuesday, December 8, 1970,
at 8 p.m., 1727 Young St., Room
204. We are to discuss the Health
and Welfare and to vote on
changes in the National Confer-
ence Death Fund, so be sure to
be there.
There are a good many of you
that will be suspended December 1,
1970. If this happens you will not
be allowed to work. Members in
good standing will not be allowed
to work with those members in
bad standing without being fined,
so don’t put the other members
in that kind of spot.
We have reprints of our By-
Laws in the office. The only
changes are the Dues Rates and
Initiation Fees. Be sure to ask
for a copy when in our office.
Better yet, come to next meeting,
Monday, December 7, and pick up
a copy.
THE DALLAS CRAFTSMAN
Are Kept in
"6,
Fort Smith, Ark. — Union pick-
ets have marched for eight months
outside the North American Foun-
dry Co. here while imported strike-
breakers are housed inside.
The strikebreakers, bussed from
Mexico and the border city of
Brownsville, Tex., stay for a few
weeks, move on, and are replaced
by new transients. While here
they live in virtual peonage, the
Allied Industrial Workers report.
Foundry employes voted for the
union in a National Labor Rela-
tion Board last February. They
walked out when the foundry man-
agers refused to negotiate fair
contract terms and will stay out
"as long as it takes,” according
to officers of AIW Local 548.
The last meeting between union
and management was held Nov. 6
when the company stuck to a
previous offer to raise wages 6
cents an hour in a one-year con-
tract, and persisted in denying
seniority to those who walked out
nearly nine months ago.
The major stumbling block in
the path of settlement is the com-
pany’s importation of strike-
breakers through a professional
contractor, according to George
Woods of Fort Smith, an AIW
regional representative.
Recruited on both sides of the
border, the strikebreakers are
offered $2 an hour to work in the
struck foundry. They are brought
here, housed in bunks inside the
plant, and escorted out only to
have their laundry done and do
some shopping at a store not too
far away.
Most of the imported workers
cannot speak English. Some have
told union officials that tSeir $2
hourly pay is sliced by sizable
deductions for transportation costs,
a $15 fee for a supposed physical
examination which no one can
recall getting, and for gloves and
other equipment
Business Representative Harvey
Simon asks the members to again
help him on the labor donation
project at 4422 Live Oak next
Saturday, December 5. They plan
to finish up Saturday if the other
crafts’ work does not bold them
up.
workers, some 300 to 350 men
have been brought in. They slip
out a few at a time and return
to the border.
Most of the imported workers
are unaware of the strike until
they reach the job, the union said.
One Mexican worker, Lazaro
Garza, was killed in July when a
grinding wheel broke and portions
were imbedded in his body. His
death so upset the others that
sist 26 of the unwilling strike-
breakers to return. Woods said.
Some of them told their story to
El Manana, a newspaper published
at Reynosa, Mexico, across the Rio
Grande River from McAllen, Tex.
The newspaper called their
plight “an inhuman exploitation.”
Since that time there have been
other injuries in the plant.
AIW Regional Director Boyd
Shinn said union officers have
asked federal, state and local offi-
cials to discourage the housing
of strikebreakers. He reported
these results:
• James Gutensohn, U. S. at-
torney in Fort Smith, said he is
“aware” of the situation, but fed-
eral agencies have not reported
finding any law violations in the
foundry.
• Deputy Sheriff Stan Hall of
Sebastian County has accompanied
Border Patrol officers to the plant
on visits and found all work per-
mits appear to be in order. Hall
reported seeing from 25 to 30
workers living in quarters "like an
Army barracks.”

We were shocked at the news
Saturday evening of the acciden-
tal death of Bro. Wayne Bell. He
was killed when a pistol dis-
charged accidentally. He attended
the apprentice school and was an
outstanding journeyman. His ser-
vices will be today, Tuesday, De-
cember 1, at Laurel Land. We
want to extend our deepest sym-
pathy to his father, Bro. Elmer
Bell.
We just learned this morning
of the death of Mr. Ed Fulton,
father of Bro. Lawrence Fulton.
Mr. Fulton is a former member
of Local No. 53. His brother Walter
Fulton is a Life Member of Local
No. 53.
We just learned this week that
Bro. Raymond Harkins needs
eight pints of blood. Any member
who can give can call Bro. Roy
Carpenter or go by Wadley Blood
Bank on Gaston Avenue.
Bro. Fred Wallace suffered a
hernia while lifting paint on the
job in Commerce. He will be off
work for several days.
Bro. Doris Jackson underwent
surgery this past week at St. Paul.
Bro. Thurman Swafford is still
off because of his injury on the
job. Also Bro. George Taylor is
still off because of an injury
on the job. We just had a report
that Bro. Tommy Luoma has
entered the Garland Hospital for
surgery.
Bro. H. A. (Jack) Stanley has
entered the Veterans hospital for
surgery. He will be off work for
some time.
