THURSDAY. MARCH IB, 1986 HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE NINE Westinghouse Strike Costs For Worker, Company Told PITTSBURGH No matter how or when the prolonged West lngnouse atnke finally it settled, it may be yeara before the aver age worker gets on his feet again financially. Every day the strike rolls on now just means this "little guy" is squeezed that much harder. The best available estimate of to tal wages lost exceeds 100 million dollars. Estes Tours Minnesota ST. OLOUD, Minn. (A Sen. Ke fauver (D-Tenn) lashed out last night at Minnesota's Democratic-Farmer-Labor party lor Us en dorsement of Adlal Stevenson In the state's presidential primary Tuesday. "Outside of those in Minnesota, I've done more tot the DFL cause than anyone else,", Kefauver told an audience of about 100 here. "I came to Minnesota in 1952 on be half of the DFL candidates. "But when they gathered and selected the other candidate (Ste venson), I wasn't given a hearing or an Invitation." It was the lust time he had as sailed the DFL In his campaign swing through Minnesota. It was believed Inspired by the fast that Ray Hemenway, state DFL chair man, Tuesday ruled against a Joint appearance by Xefauver and Stevenson at a celebration In Moorhead Saturday afternoon. Hemenway said It would give the "impression that they are de bating one another," whereas, he added, regardless of the primary outcome, both "are working for a Democratic victory In November." Kefauver said, "Those who want to keep me out are not thinking in terms of the welfare of the people . . . What kind of government would we have if only one candi date was selected for the people to vote on?" In an earlier talk at Bralnerd. Kefauver told about 100 that he thought heads of government agri culture agenoles should believe in the farmers and not be "people like secretary of Agriculture Ben- son. who apparently is serving Wall street bankers." The remark after he had spoken of Benson s raising Interest rates on farm loans. . . On the other aide of the picture, the company estimated early this month the strike had cost it about 360 million dollars worth of a busi ness. Net income dropped 'more than 30 million dollars in 1955 compared with the preceding year ana much of the drop was attrib uted to the strike. It'a been nearly five months since strikers have had a nay- check: five months without a steady Income. How have they managed? "We're not living high. But we're getting along. Nobody's stsrvlng. nobody's out m the street, nobody's cold. You couldn t expect more." That capsule comment came to day from Samuel Wilkim. chief union shop steward at Westing house Electric Corp's East Pitts burgh plant, largest in the firm's far-flung system and one of 40 struck since last October. "Anyone who has been cold or hungry or in need of medical care, we've taken care of them," said Wilklns, a fitter employed by Westinghouse for 22 years. By "we" he meant the AFL- CIO International Union of Elec trical Workers and its biggest, most powerful Westinshouse unit. Local 601, At the start of the strike Oct. 17, the local counted some 10.000 members. In all, the IUE called out 44.000 workers. wilkms said he knew of no case where a Local 601 member was evicted, lost his home or had his auto repossesseo if he applied to the union for aid. Emphasising that It was only a rough guess, Wilklns said he fig ured the union baa spent about a million dollars for strike relief in the East Pittsburgh area.

He declared that inadequate bud get and bookkeeping practices have cost Congress its "control of the national purse" and are now cost ing the taxpayers four billion dol lars a year of needless spending. Civil Service reforms are equal ly urgent to prevent "government talent from being constantly grab bed by business," Hoover said In a speech to a conference called by the U S Chamber of Commerce to rally support for adoption of the year-old recommendations of his Commission on Federal Reorgani sation. Hoover said the 25 per cent turn over of government personnel- representing the loss and replace ment of 500.000 workers annually "would bankrupt any private enter prise twice a year." "Promotion and pay fall to pro duce or hold ton executive talent." he said, "and there are not enough policy-making positions today sub ject to party choice to carry out tne mandates of the electorate." He added: "Do not get scared that we are proposing a spoils system. We wish merely to change less than one-tenth 01 1 per cent ol the total number." The President, Hoover said, should have perhaps 2.000 addi tional jobs subject to his appoint ment, and nonpolitical career work ers "should not be required to make policy or to defend admin istration policy." Urging adoption of the commis sion's pay and promotion reforms: Hoover said: "If our top military officers had been chosen on the civil service basis of promotion, the deadwood at the top would have lost us two world wars. cravings for chocolates, fruits and pet animals but he can't have them.
