If ports meet labor terms,
bankruptcy could occur
United Press International
1 BOSTON — The president of
the Boston Shipping Association
has warned that most East and
Gulf Coast regional container
ports might face bankruptcy if
forced to meet the terms of a
national labor contract.
1 Arthur Lane said Wednesday
some 15 major seaports — not
including New York and Balti
more — “are laboring under
breakback overheads which
threaten the majority of these
ports with bankruptcy in the
coming 1983-1986 deepwater,
longshore contract period.”
1 The overhead consists of
wages, fringe benefits and
ivork-or-no-work guaranteed
annual wages” that are control
led nationally rather than by loc
al ports.
Lane, speaking at a two-day
meeting of container shipping
officials, said that five of the 15
regional ports are increasingly
dependent on a subsidy by the
container carriers called the Job
Security Program.
Under the subsidy program,
the carriers guaranteed that
they would cover all fringe be
nefit shortfalls for the port asso
ciation in a port that was de
serted by the carriers, he said.
Lane said an actuarial study
of Boston’s situation showed
that by 1986 Boston will have a
fringe benefit deficit of nearly
$5 million.
“Proportion out this shortage
on a coastwise basis and a hun
dred million dollar national
(JSP) shortfall becomes opti
mistic.”
Lane recommended that
other ports make similar studies
of their situation before nego
tiating their next longshore con
tract.
Lane pointed out that the
port of Portland, Maine, was
closed down permanently in
May.
“If Portland has gone, why
not Boston?” he asked. “Boston
among how many others?”
Lane said that Thomas W.
Gleason Jr., president of the In
ternational Longshoremen’s
Association, predicted last
March that someday there will
be only two East Coast and two
Gulf Coast ports operating be
cause of the effects of tech
nology.
With no work opportunities
at the closed ports, Lane said he
told Gleason, “The guaranteed
annual income will be out of
sight.”
Lane said Gleason replied,
“don’t worry, JSP will take care
of everything.”
However, Lane told the ship
pers one of the five carriers that
negotiated the security program
is now bankrupt, one merged
with another company and only
nine of the 17 American carriers
that existed are still in business.
Philadelphia, he said, will re
ceive $6 million this year to meet
its shortfall, Hampton Roads,
Va., has had a $2.5 million appli
cation turned down by the JSP
board and three Gulf ports are
in similar financial straits.

WASHINGTON — Despite
scientific uncertainty as well as
legal and ethical problems,
further research could make
genetic screening of workers
routine within 10 years, experts
say.
1 Witnesses and congressmen
■used questions about genetic
testing Wednesday at a hearing
by the House Science and Tech
nology’s investigations and over
sight subcommittee, which is
looking into the unique screen
ing process.
I*- In the procedure, a blood test
is taken to analyze an indi
vidual’s genes to identify those
more likely to get a disease as a
result of being exposed to cer
tain chemicals or substances.
For instance, a person more
likely to get cancer from work
ing around asbestos could be
identified and denied employ
ment.
“We're getting into a very
sticky wicket based on how accu
rate these tests are,” said Rep.
Bob Shamansky, D-Ohio. “It
seems to me it will be a long time
before we really know.”
But when subcommittee
chairman Albert Gore Jr., D-
Tenn., asked whether accurate
tests would be possible within
two to 10 years, Dr. Nanette
Newell, a geneticist who headed
a federal study on the matter,
nodded yes.
Said Gore, “It’s alternately ex
citing and terrifying.”
In a survey by Congress’
Office of Technological Assess
ment, 59 of the Fortune 500 cor
porations said they were in
terested in using genetic tests in
the next five years.
In re-checking the 59 corpor
ations, however, only four were
considering using the tests with
in five years and 55 said they
possibly would do so, Geoffrey
Karny, an OTA project director,
said.
Karny gave preliminary find
ings of a year-long study on
genetic testing. He said none of
the current genetic tests meet
established scientific criteria for
routine use.
But he said there was enough
evidence to merit further re
search, and both Gore and Sha
mansky joined in urging the
continuation of such investiga
tion.
Karny pointed out many
genetic traits occur more fre
quently among some races and
ethnic groups, and asked if the
use of the tests could result in
discrimination.
The President’s Commission
on Ethical Problems in Medicine
and Biomedical and Behavioral
Research concluded genetic in
formation should not be given to
insurers and employers without
the explicit consent of the per
son who was screened.

u "I\vas like losin' a friend the day
George Killian stopped brewin' the Redr
n old friend, if you
ask me. For nearly a
hundred years, the
lads all over this
part of Ireland knew you
could count on the Red. And
count on the Red they did.
"It was George Killians
family who brewed it. And
for five generations, they
was holdin’ true to the taste.
And. if you ever had just a
sip or two for yourself, youd
thank 'em for it, too.
"But then came the black
day George Killian stopped
brewin'the Red. Some say it
was the changin' times that
backed him to the wall.
" 'Modernize,' they said
to George.
“ 'Compromise,' George
said to them. And I'll have
none of that. Before 1 change the taste, I'll
close the doors'
"And close the doors he did—though a
few of the lads came close to tears. And
George Killian came close to tears, himself.
Or so they say.
Then something grand happened
Over in America, Coors asked George
if they could help him bring it back.
" Brew me Killian's Red?'George
asked. Aye, I'd be proud to brew
with you. If you be brewin'it my way.'
"Now George's way was never
the easy way. It means slow-roastin'
the malts. Takin' a bit more time.
And a bit more trouble.
"But that's what brings out the taste. And
that's what brings out the glorious red color
And I hear that's just the way they're
doin' it. One sip, they say, and you'll know
they're brewin' it George's way. Of course,
brewin'the Red
George’s way is just
what the lads all
expected.
They don't for
get what George
Killian always
says:" I stopped
brewin' it once.
And i can stop it
again.’"
ffMTADS
One sip and you'll know. They 're still brewin'it Georyes way.
