EXHIBIT H (Part 2 of 2) TO THE DECLARATION OF JOSETTE D. JOHNSON IN SUPPORT OF
ROUNTREE PLUMBING & HEATING, INC.’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT, OR IN THE
ALTERNATIVE, SUMMARY ADJUDICATIONSpecial Meeting of the General Executive Board

THE special mecting of the Gencral Executive Board

was called t order Thursday, Angust iG, 1967 at
10 am. at the General Office by General President
C. W. Sickles with the foliowing members responding
to roll call: International Vice Presidents Hugh E.
Mulligan, George Rider, Malcolm Detiefs, Andrew T.
Haas, Michael H. Nicols, Brooks Baker and J. Wayne
Kelly; International Assistants A. L. Hulliaghorst and
William Howell ; International Organizer John W. Hoff
and General Secretary-Treasurer Albert =. Hutchinson,

‘The Board considered problems currently of interest
to our craft locally, regionally and internationally and
the various items were taken under consideration and
policies determined in connection with same for the
guidance of our International Officers in assisting our
focal anion representatives in processing their day to
day problems as they arise.

The first issue on the agenda was the organizational
program of our craft work in the southeast and particu-
larly the Carolina's with regard to the nen-Uniow activi-
Hes of the Daniels Construction Company which, of
course, affects not only the Asbestos Worker but all
building trades crafts. International Assistant A. L.
Hallinghorst made a detailed report on his activities in
connection with the problem as per assignment by Presi~
dent Sickies, The Board after due consideration in-
structed President Sickles to continue this effart toward
the unionizing of our craft work in the area referred
2G and to take whatever steps would he found necessary,
including membership issuance to the quatified non-
Union Asbestos Workers in the area in which they
reside.

The question of certain of our employers violating
their agreement with the local unions by not abiding by
that portion of their agreement which provides for the
preparation, as well as, distribution end application, at
the job site wes discussed and the Officers were in-
structed to call this to the attention of all of the afili-
ated local unions and to advise that the General Office
is currently in a position to supply International Union
Labels for use on any of our craft work performed
away from the job site by our membership for the pur-
pose of identification,

The Board members were acquainted with several
instances where employers, signatory to the Jocal anion
Joint Trade Agreement, have been found to Sublet por-
tons of the insulation work included in their contract
to others with the result that the labor in connection

therewith was not performed by employees represente

by our local unions which, of course, constituted a vio
lation of the Agreement through mis-assignment of th:
work and ali local unions are instructed to take neces.
sary and appropriate action to deal with any repetition
of the practice.

The Board gave due consideration to the listing of
wages and fringes currently appearing in all Journa]
Publications and in view of the conuplicated listings due
to the varions forms and types of fringes, further com-
plicated by the two or three year agreements with
changes every year or in some instances every six
mouths, it was agreed that in future Journal issues, only
the total cost item per hour, which would not include
transportation and beard allowance, would be listed.

The Board considered severs? hardship cases in vari-
ous local unions where due to anemployment, the mem-
bership, including officers, found it Hevessary to accept
employment outside the territary of their home local oa
& temporary basis and the question of the officers retain-
ing their position and/or eligibility for nomination at
subsequent elections was invalved. After due considera-
tion it was voted thet members of a local, including the
officers who, under the above circumstances accept tem-
porary employment due to lack of work ia their home
territory, will not be forced to resign their office or lose
their eligibility to be a candidate in subsequent elections,
with the maximmim of three months being egreed upon
as the period of time upon which this temparary dis—
pensation would prevail. . .

The quéstiow of restoration of local autonomy to Lo-
cal No, 93, Philadelphia, Pa, Navy Yard was discussed
and on recommendation of Vice President Andrew
Haas, as a result of the assurance from the members
of Local No. 93 that they would conduct the affairs of
the local in accordance with the International Consti-
tution and By-Laws if their autonomy was restored, the
Board voted to restore the autonomy to Local No, 93
and Vice President Haas was instructed to Proceed with
the details in connection therewith.

With no further business before the Board, adjoum-
ment was declared at 4 pm. on Friday, August 11,
1961,

Respectfully submitted,
Avzeet E. Hurcainson

“Congress Asked to Protect

People Against Useless Drugs

The Administration has urged
Congress to give the American
people the same protection against
useless drugs that “we have been

giving hogs, sheep and cattle.”

Health, Education & Weilare
Sec, Abraham A, Ribicoff told the
Senate Anti-trust subcommittee that
under present law “worthless drugs
may remain on the market for
months or years until the govern
ment can get evidence to sustain a
court action ageinst thera.”

Ribicoff strongly endorsed a bill
by Subcommittee Chairman Estes
Refauver (D-Tenn.) which would
require drug manufacturers to pro-
duce evidence that new drugs five
up to their claims before they can
be approved for general use. He
said the Food & Drug Adminis:ra-

on now can keep a drug off the
market only if it is actually harmful.

Since 1913, he said, the Govern-
ment hes prohibited the marketing |
ef “worthiess” medications for use
a . Thus, he de-
cared, “we must say to the Ameri-
an pele: a hog js protected
against worthless drugs, but you are
Bot”

Amother provision of the bill,
zmed at encouraging competition
ty requiring identical drugs to be
marketed under a single common
ww generic name, was strongly en:
dorsed by the head of the Justice
Depts anti-trust division, Assistant
Atty. Gen. Lee Loevinger.

Leevinger said the “proprietary
names” which drug mamurfacturers
use “serve’ more to confuse the
physician than to assist him.”

other operating personnel;

3.0% by bank cashiers;

7% by bank managers;

6% by bank presidents;
“6.0% by bank vice presidents.”
The arithmetic says that in the

year ending June 30, 1960, nearly
one-third of the 1,771 bauks suffer-
ing internal frauds were victimized
by their own cashiers, 531 of them,
and the cashier of a smaller bank is
the trusted chief who runs the in-
stitution.

‘The arithmetic says that during
this period approximately 152 bank
dents esnbeczled or stole from
their own hanks.

‘Mr. Miller told the Arkansas and
Ohio bankers that it is “not my pur-

___._-pose ta frighten you.” He aleo told,

Ohio bankers that if the “averages”
stood up, “about 75 Obio banks (29
Arkansas banks) will report viola
tions to the FBI this rear.”

“Tt is not beyond the realm of
reality,” said My. Miller in his ad-
dress, “to say that while some cf
you are sitting here Histening tw me
an embezzlement cau be taking
place in your bank back home.”

We think the public should know
that an obscure clause in the Lan-
dram-Griffin Act imposed ver¥
costly bonding expenses upon ardons
that are unjustified by experience.

The AFL-CIO believes that there
is no justification for the continued
imposition of exceptionally strict
and expensive bonding requirements
for trade union officers and en-
ployees—bonding prices that must
be paid, ineviably from the union
assets that could be nzed to promote
the well-being of the union members.
__The AFL-CIO believes it is en-

titled, on its record, to the ordinary
cammercial blanket bond acceptable
under the lew and ender common
practice for trustees and employees
with a fiduciary responsibility in all
other financial institutions.

If unions were allowed to develop
in cooperation with the surety com-
panies a schedule of rates for
commercial blanket fidelity bonds—
exactly the same kind of fidelity
bonds now written for banks and
other financial institutions—they
could obtain greater coverage for a
lesser rate, and the assets of the
trade union movement would be
conserved as they should be for the
benefit of the members.

The normal commercial blanket
torid is all that is needed for the
protection of union monies-—and we
look forward te the day when the
fine record of our officers in ban-
dling, investing and recording union
finances is recognized in law.

dent Baker appointed a committee

instances whereby our Insulation
Contractors were misassigning in-
salation. work to other crafts or
even failing to hid om our craft

He cautioned all locals concerning
having their newly negotiated agree-
ments check for legality br our
General Office before the final sign-
ing and acceptance. President
Sickles ieformed the delegates that
there would be no work stoppage on
muse bases or sifes due to the
tion of agreements, These
jobs would continue on a retroac-

tive basis until an agreement was
reached.

The Audit and Finance Commit-
tee reported examining the Confer-
ence hooks and finding everything
in order. The committee als rec-
ommended that each local sending
delegates to the meeting be taxed
$20.00. This fee will be used to heip
the host local defray some of the
expenses connected with the meet.
ing. This recommendation was laid
over for the afternoon session,

Meeting recessed for funch,

The Conference reconvened and
delegates were advised to disect any
questions to President Sickles for
clarification.

One delegate asked if “stress
weldivg” could be claimed by our
craft since some jobs have quife a
bit of this type of worl. President
Sicktes stated that insulation applied
for this type of work is of a fem-
porary nature and that we do not
claim same.

On the questian concerning which __
craft has jurisdiction over removing
insulation from vessels and piping,
President Sickles advised that we
do not claim the removal of insule-
tion which is to be destroyed; but
where the insulation is being sal-
vaged for reuse, then our member-
ship should do the removal of same,

On the question of members los-
ing office because of traveling,
President Sickles stated that where
a local union has an unemployment
problem, an officer could secure a
traveling card and not lose his office:
up fo a three month period, This
same rule would apply to a candi-
date rurning for office and any
meetings missed while on Traveler

would not be charged against any “|

candidate duriag the three month
period.

One of the delegates asked Presi-
dent Sickles for a ruling on juris
diction where sections of pipe cov-
ering with @ plastic jacket were
being used as a conveyor of air in-
stead of metal ducts. The pipe cov-
ering is joined at each section with
a metal sleeve and hangar. He
states we would not claim this work
Since the prime function of this,
material constituted 2 duct ‘te’ con-
vey the air conditioning through the
building.

President Sickies conchided by
reminding all delegates to honor the
1957 Agreement with the Sheet
Metal Workers and to insist that
our membership carry out this
Agreement. He also clarified the

THE ASBESTOS WORKERjurisdiction regarding our claim on
Gisulate, Vermicutite, Perlite, and
similar materials for use in connec-
tion with underground installations.

pensing with the Spring, 1962 cos-
ference meeting and holding the

Tuternational Convention reported

action and the Conference adopted
this recommendation, This action
was based on the financial expedi-
ent and in an effort to be helpful
to the affiliated local unions in send-
ing delegates, one or more, to the
Conference meeting in Atlantic

of this conference which does pay
the round trip plane fare for one
delegate from each affiliated local
union to all conference meetings.

livered an interesting talk on the
Gonference- Pension Plan: advising
that he expects 2 favorable Govern-
ment raling by the beginning of the
new Year. He further stated that
