PRINTED ON UNION M ADE PAPER

editorial COlnlnellt
• All ISEW local unions in the United Slotes have received th eir
1973 AFl·ClO Committee on Political Education (COPE) voluntary
con tribution tickets. This yeor funds ore urgently needed to help
many Senators and Congressmen who ore friendly to the causes of
organized lobor in their political campaigns in 1973 and 197 ....

In past elections, a maior effort of lobor has been ge llin g our

members out eorly in the campaigns to raise funds, conduct voter
registrotion drives, attend rollies, tolk to our friends and neighbors
about lobor's candidote and the many other facets thot arc so
necessary for politico I victo ry. Election campaigns ore mos'
expensive. The literature such as brochures, leaflets, photographs,
letters to constituents, telephone and other office expenses are very,
very costly. In the majority of cases those candidates that are
unfriendly to organized labor seem to have plenty of financial
backing, in some cases untold large sums of money for eompoigning .
All of the monies raised by COPE are small in eomparison to the
huge sums raised by big business and individual greedy wealthy
people who hate to see the workers receive just and fair
legislation in Congress.

large anti· lobor funds are spread out all across the eountry to
help eandidates who would vote against lobar. To suecessfully
re-elect Senotors and Congressmen who have voted for the welfare
of the workers of this country, it will toke a great effort on the part
of all members of organized labor to overcome the serious challenges
of anti-union candidates.

I urge alilBEW local unions to start now on COPE drives. Many

locals will reach 100% in collect ions and then still continue to raise
COPE dollars. They are to be congratulated. The $2.00 contribution
that each member should make is one small way of supporting
favorable and friendly people who are not afraid to stand up for the
working class and who fight for the principles of fairness and equality
for all citizen s, rich or poor.

The ISEW has always been a great supporter of the AFl-ClO 's
COPE activities and all the officers and members can be justly proud
of the record of the Brotherhood's locals in all the branches. I know
that this year the IBEW will once again prove thot it does support
its friends and will help defeat it s enemies.

I)o~sibh. this situation has arisen be-

\lcathe r and other things beyond our
control. but we ha\e been able to keep
most of our members full} employed
during this la,'( season, The work situa-

and should improve from mont h to
month 1hroughout the coming year.
Propert}' has now been purchased for
the future home of Local 136. Located
on both 12th Avenue and 2~lh Street
Norlh. Ihis should be :111 excellent loca-

and the he:lrt of the Civic Center, It is
hoped that plan~ C,1n he completed and
work started before very long.
The Negotiatins Committee is hard at

 Not Too fine on the Powerful line
The year was '72
And 1 am hen.: 10 lell ),ou
What a hIgh vollag~ crew tried 10
do.
It WIlS foggy III switch 2740;
They were working a circuil of
4160 and 7620,
And what they did cost the
company plenty:
The circuit!) l1lenlioned above won't

l! wa~ right after dinner;
Thc forcmun !laid they will go
tog..:lher,
And I am the !.kinner,
The .. witch W,l\ open, and the

The foreman said cverything lohould

The order was gi ....:n;
The swi lch wenl clo!ol!d;
What happened Ih..:n only the good

The foreman 'laid, "God Almighl),

'Cau ~e thi ~ jll\t blows my mind."'

And Boulder w:,s thc next to go,
without u doubt.
The head ~witchl1lan in Denver was
on the linc
And ~aid things in Denvcr weren't
looking too fine.
It was a long. dark day in '72,
When ~witch 2740 blew,
Bo u lder kicked oul, like we loaid it
would;
They were trying to hold North

In the Shadow of a Cross
In my memory, h. the .. hado" of a
cross upon }on hill:
M y thoughts linger 011 ii, both so
silcnt and so still.
My mind envi~ions the re, with arms
open wide,
Someone Who sulT..:red and ~o
!tlowly died.
A halo of thorns around ll is head
lightly hound,
Spikes d riven into that ero~s in Ihe
grou nd .
lI is eyl.!s looked upward 10 il lS
Father in the ~ky,
And I lis )'oul r()~c upwurd. ewr
upward , never 10 die.
He car('d not Il is earthl)" body to
givc:
I-lis pm}.:rs wenl out to others \\ ho
live,
To other~ who \HHlld pa\\ on the
hC.lwnly wonl.
And pra)ed for churche~ thi .. world
to gird.
Then, from my mind, thb piewr.:
fade<.l away,
And with it. went the shadow of 11
cross,
Likc the coming of night and the
fadin g of clay,

My Husba nd Is a Lineman
Back \'hen I fir~1 met him,
HI! laid me what he did;
I laughe<.l and tho ughl, " He's
foo ling,
Or c[lol.! he's nipped his lid:'
1 ~aid, "Whal is a lineman?"
He smiled und said, "You'll sec."
And Ihal i ~ whal I quid.ly did
When my lineman married me.
]'ve seen him hit the high ones,
\1 y hearl up in my throat,
T o sel.! my whole life hanging
Bya piece of poly rope,
I II! tried it on the in .. i(k.
But I I..new that wouldn't do.
lie ..aid, " I ju,t don'l like it.
)'V(' had enough; I'm through,
1 "a, born a lincmun;
A lineman 1 \\111 die:
1"11 ~p"'nd the rl!\t of my da)"s,
Climbing up th..:rc in thl.! ~ky."
We ha\c two lillk daughl..:rs;
He brags them up, I'm told.
And they think their dad<.ly\ ten
feet lull
With u h:lrd h:ll mad.: of gold,
So when I 'rn ;Iskcd, "What docs
your guy do?"
I smik and think a bit;
He says. ' 'I'm a hneman,
And I'm damn proud of it!"
