i!illlll;;,i«lil SUPREME COURT JUSTICE HARRY A. BLACKMUN ON UNION SOLIDARITY D GREAT WORDS OF LABOR

"Union activity, by its very nature, is group activity, and is grounded on the notion that strength can be garnered from unity, solidarity and mutual commitment This concept is of particular importance during a strike, where the individual members of the union draw strength from the commitments of fellow members, and where the activities earned on by the union rest fundamentally on the mutual reliance." - Harry A Blackmun, Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court In December 1972, Justice Harry A Blackmun was the lone dissenter to a Supreme Court decision dealing with union members' rights to resign during a strike Long after the majority decision has been forgotten, the words of Justice Blackmun, as stated here, will live Justice Blackmun's appointment to the Supreme Court in 1970 followed more than a decade of exemplary service as judge of the U S Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit and nearly 30 years in private and public law practice in Minneapolis GENERAL OFFICERS V7\ THE INTERNATIONAL OPERATING HUNTER P.

Harry S. Truman The 33rd President 1884-1972

"The little man from Missouri" was one of the biggest friends of America's •"little people" ever \o occup\ the White House. Harr\ Truman ascended to the Presidcncs on April 12. 1945, upon the death of Iranklin D. Koosexcit Throughout the remaining term and a successive elective term, he served with integrity, courage, and lorthnghtness through one of the nation's most crucial periods. It was his decision to drop the lirst atomic bomb at Hiroshima that ended Workl War II. and it was his task to implement the peace that lollowed, both in the U.S. and around the world. On the international scene, he will go down in history for his leadership in developing the L'nited Nations, the Marshall Plan, and NATO. In the domestic area he was perhaps the first President to earnesth champion the causes of civil rights, senior citizens, and aid to education. To union membeis. he will be remembered for his opposition to the Tatt-Hartlev Act which was passed over his veto, and his unwavering respect lor the working people ol America. :YOF...

The unexpected death of l,\ndon Johnson, almost exactly four \ears after he left the White House, came as a shock on January 22. J.abor joins with other Americans in mourning the loss of a man whose "goal has been the greatest good for the greatest number." Johnson assumed oflice fol­ lowing the tragic assassination of John F. Kennedy on No\ember 22. 1^6.^. pledging to carry forward a proyrcssise JX-niociatic legislative program. And this he did. During his five \ears in olfice, more than 100 pieces ol landmaik legislation were passed as Johnson sought to build a "Cireat .Society." Under his prodding. Congress passed progr.ims est.dilishing historic breaktlmniglis in ci\il rights, m.iking inroads on poverty. pro\iding new educational opportunities, and loiging other major advances in Medicare. .Social Security, minimum wage, urban development, housing, and manpower training.
