THE BATTALION Thursday, May 3, 1973 College Station, Texas Page 3 Era Of Peace Between Labor, Management Forseen WASHINGTON (^ — Despite one of the heaviest negotiating agendas in years, 1973 may herald a new era of peace in labor-management relations. The recent agreement between the United Rubber Workers and the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co., offers hope of an industry wide settlement without a strike for the first time in 10 years. A few weeks before the settle ment, the strike-prone railroad industry and 15 unions repre senting 500,000 workers tenta tively agreed on a new contract— nearly four months before the old agreement expired and the first time in history without stopping the trains. And then last week, two Team ster locals in New York accepted a new contract with the finan cially ailing F. & M Schaefer Brewing Co. providing no wage increase. These examples followed the unprecedented agreement between the powerful United Steelworkers union and the 10 largest steel producers on a no-strike, no lockout pledge for the next four years. The two sides agreed to submit unresolved issues in next year’s contracts talks to binding arbitration by an impartial third party. The Labor Department reports that the number of working days lost to strikes in the first quarter of the year dropped to nine-tenths of one working day per 1,000, lowest for the period since 1966. The figure for March alone— A&M Forestry Club Marks 25 Tree Species With Plaques Twenty-five species of trees on the inner University campus have been marked with identifying plaques by the Forestry Club. The club project began last year by Ben D. Jackson of Beau mont will help people notice and identify trees “which are so much a part of the aesthetics of the campus,” explained Tony King, a graduate student. They identify live, post, water and willow oaks, bald cypress, sweetgum, Texas pistache, syca more winged, cedar, Chinese and American elm, white mulberry, mimosa, reforma, Eastern red cedar, crab apple, Arizona cy press, pecan, mesquite, green ash, Oriental arborvitae and Mediterranean pine trees. Each plaque carries the club name and the tree’s common and scientific name, the latter by genus and species. King said the project was start ed by identifying and mapping trees in the center of the cam pus, between the Agriculture Building and Memorial Student Center. They were charted on a small scale map provided by Robert H. Rucker, campus land scape architect. The Forestry Club mapped 45 different tree species in the area. Robert R. Rhodes, associate pro fessor of forest science, verified identification. “Other campuses have done this as a public service,” King said. “The project was one way the club could add something to the Texas A&M campus, rather than the normal fence and run action.” The club plans a similar, fu ture project. It will consist of a self-guided tour of named trees on the campus. Forestry Club members who worked on the project include Jackson, David Fette of Muen- ster; John Powell, Lamesa; Stev en Holekamp, Comfort; Bill Car- roll, Center; King and Beach. Jackson graduated and is now with the Peace Corps in Costa Rica. Assistance was provided by Joe Goldman with ALCOA at Point Comfort and Pete Ybarra of the Physical Plant.

At the same time, the depart ment says major wage increases negotiated in the first three months of 1973 averaged 5.3 per cent, down from the 7 per cent average gain in all of 1972 and well within the Nixon adminis tration’s Phase 3 economic guide lines. However, unless prices are brought under control, labor lead ers warn, workers will demand bigger settlements, threatening both another spurt in the wage- price spiral and an undermining of the new spirit of labor-man agement cooperation. Two of the most critical bar gaining talks remaining this year involve the United Auto Workers in the fall and the Teamsters Union, which begins negotiations this week on a new national master freight agreement. Although the effect of rising prices remains an unknown fac tor, the Teamsters are expected to reach a peaceful settlement. Word is that the union, repre senting some 400,000 drivers nationwide, is prepared to submit a moderate package of wage and benefit demands. Bargaining now underway in the electrical industry is marked by the absence of strident talk from both management and labor. The last time around, in 1969-70, the unions struck General Electric for 14 weeks, longest strike in the company’s history. What brought about this new spirit of peace? AFL-CIO President George Meany said, “In the 1930’s when workers were earning 60 cents an hour, it didn’t take much in the way of financial aid to keep a family going during a strike. . . . Things are different now.” Alumni Awards To Be Given Distinguished Alumni Awards will be presented at spring com mencement to Morris Benz, Ster ling C. Evans and James M. Forsyth of Houston and Royce E. Wisenbaker of Tyler. The prominent graduates will be cited for exceptional contribu tions to society. Benz, a 1932 graduate, operates a floral design school and is a Restaurant Sells 12-Ounce Steaks For 44 Cents DALLAS hP)—It looked like a soup line from the old days, but they were handing out steaks at old days prices. It was all a gimmick by a Dal las restaurant, the T.G.I. Friday, which celebrated its anniversary by announcing it would serve 12- ounce steaks for 44 cents. The line formed in front of the restaurant from 11 a.m. Tuesday until 2 a.m. Wednesday. The normal price of the steaks is $4.45. A customer said as he walked in: “I am going to lay a $10 bill on the table and just say ‘fill her up.‘ ” Peppered Club steak, normally a regular $3.25 was selling for 36 cents. Friday’s manager Dan Scog- gin said near 3,500 steaks were sold. Talking about cost, he add ed: “We lost a bunch.” Tuesday was the third day of the second week-long meat boy cott organized by the “Fight In renown floral artist, lecturer and author.
