Public employes not ‘strike-happy’
HOUSTON (AP)—The president
of the new public employes de
partment of the AFL-CIO said
Tuesday public sector unions are
not strike-happy but will not hesi
tate to strike when necessary.
“They would rather enjoy the be
nefits of collective bargaining than
be forced to take strike action,
which is a symbol of the breakdown
ofthe bargaining process,” said Wil
liam Howard McClennan, who also
is president ofthe International As
sociation of Fire Fighters.
“But we also know that when no
agreement is forthcoming between
negotiators, and when there is no
mutually-accepted alternative to
impasse, then in this day and age,
there will be strikes.
McClennan participated in a pub
lic sector labor relations seminar at
the National League of Cities con
vention.
He said the new AFL-CIO Public
Employe Department still is in the
Israeli ships
given secret
commitment
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Isrtiel said Tuesday that Egypt
gave it a secret commitment to let
Israeli cargo pass through the Suez
Canal once the waterway is
reopened.
Israeli ships have never been al
lowed through the canal, which was
completely blocked by war debris
during the 1967 Middle East war.
Egypt says the waterway Will
reopen next year.
Foreign Minister Yigal Allon told
the Israeli Parliament in Jerusalem
that the commitment on cargo was
an unpublished part of the disen
gagement of forces agreement
signed last January.
He said Egypt agreed that ships
flying the Israeli flag would be per
mitted through the canal after a
further peace step had been
reached. But he did not say what
that step was.
Allon also said Israel would wel
come renewed diplomatic relations
with the Soviet Union and other
Communist bloc nations, but said
no feelers from those countries,
which broke with Israel during the
1967 war, have been rect^C'C'tf.'
In another development, Israel
accused Egyptians of digging chan
nels on the east bank of the Suez
Canal that could be used for launch
ing missiles.
A military spokesman in Tel Aviv
said Israel filed a complaint with the
U.N. Emergency Force and that
U.N. observers sent a team to check
it out. There was no immediate
comment from Egyptian or U.N. of
ficials.
The charge came 24 hours after
Egyptian and Soviet officials in
London reported negotiations for
the delivery of a 460-megawatt
Soviet nuclear reactor to Egypt
were nearing completion.
It also followed a declaration by
Israeli President Ephraim Katziron
Sunday that the Jewish state has the
capability of producing atomic
weapons “within a reasonable
length of time,” but would not be
the first to introduce them in the
Middle East.
Egypt’s ambassador in London,
Saad el Shazly, said in a television
interview Tuesday that no country,
Egypt included, would allow
neighbors to possess nuclear
capabilities without having the right
to build its own nuclear potential.
Under the U. S. sponsored dis
engagement signed in January, Is
rael and Egypt were to
refrain from installing long-range
artillery or missiles within 18 miles
of the cease-fire lines.

McClennan said George Meany,
AFL-CIO president, publicly re
jected the concept of strikes in the
public service not so long ago but
just last month told the new de
partment, “As far as I’m concerned,
if you treat public employes bad
enough, they’ll go on strike.
McClennan said that in the case
of firemen some strike crises result
from a belief by city management
that such workers somehow have an
obligation to subsidize city govern
ments through low wages and long
hours.
“Let me say veiy frankly that the
days are over when the fire depart
ment could be considered a nice soft
spot in the city budget,” be said.
Donald R. Weinberg, personnel
director for Washington, D. C. said
compulsory arbitration is a possible
answer to disputes involving public
employes.
“Public unions will press hard for
bread and substantial chunks of it,
Weinberg said.
“It could all result in layoffs and
prolonged strikes because of severe
budgetary problems experienced
by state, county, and local govern
ments.”
Sam Zagoria, director of the
League’s labor-management rela
tions service, said establishment of
the new AFL-CIO department is
quite significant.
“It means 25 unions have thrown
their lot together for unity in public
sector labor legislation with the full
strength of the AFL-CIO behind
it, Zagoria said.
“We are in a different kind of era,
an era of substantial change.
Zagoria added that cities are
being “eaten up” by inflation as tax
revenues decline.
"Cities undoubtedly are in very
heavy trouble,” he said.
