O.umM" 1976
• A r.:ccnt energy !olUdy by Shell
Oil is of interest to us in lhe IBEW.
While we do not have man y memo
be" at work directly in the oil
industry, the study, nonetheless, is
of intefc')l in that it explored the
o.:nlirc energy sector.
A computer model was de"eloped
ba~d on major premises lhal in ­
cluded energy prices and adjustment
ml."Chanisms. lues, conservation. resource.olicics and economic and demographic
factors.
l3ascd on input data the model
WIIS able to fo rcca

no t IlrrC51 the dl.'Clinc. Oil imports
will amount to 10 to I I million
barrel!> per day through the dl.."ClIdc
of Ihe '80s. New sources of energy
such as oil from shale, ga~ and oil
from coal, !IOlaT, and geothermal
wil1 be develo ped. Their impact will
be !;mall, amounting to less than 4
percent of the total energy dem.lIlt!
by 1990. Nuclear power while grow.
ing less than earlier estimated wil'
nevertheless be very important 10
the Nation's l'COllomy. Nuclear will
prlwidc ovcr hlllf of (lur CI.."Cl ricil Y
lind 16 percent of our 10131 energy
by 1990. Coal is expected 10 grow at
a 5 percent annual average increase
through the '80s and to supply 25
percent of 10lal U. S. energy tleOl,lOd
by 1990.
Capital investment by the energy
secto r is (Iuile large. In the case of
the ckClric utilities with which we
arc m o~ t familiur. pre~nt eapilal
~pendin g is about 26.6 billion per
y..:a r. By 1981 pr..:dictions arc that
this will inc rease to about $38.3 billion
pe r )..:ar. While Ih is dollar
figure is high whcn put in perspect
ivc or the Gro~, National Product
(GN I)) it only amounts to abo llt
1.3 percent of Ihe GNP. TOlal encrgy
",-"'ClOT il1\e:,lmcnt amounlS to about
$51.9 billion per year. This will ri!>C
10 aboul 565.5 billio n by 1981. As
a percent of the GNP tOlal energy
invl!Sllllent will remain constant :lI

arc now down to [he nitty-gritty
is)uc Ihal is of concern to us in
labor. The model predicts a hcahhy
growing economy and for us. that
means jobs. Between now and 1985
about 13 million new jobs will have
to be crealed in the labor force.
Invc!lt mc/lts by the energy SC(:tor
will directly provide half a million
of these new jobs. Half of the new
jobs in the energy sector will be
opcT!lIing and ma intenance jobs ancl
can be viewed as permanent jobs
for the life of the facilities. or
gr..:nlcr importunce is the spin-off
from new jobs being created. For
required ,!,upport services about 1.7
million jobs will be created Energy
investments which arc 2.5 percent of
the GNP will create nbolll 13 percent
of (uture jobs. [fables I and 2). High
manpower requirements in the energy
sector exist through 1990. The
highest dl!mand should peak between
1978 and 1980, two \0 four
years from now. New plant technologies
generally require higher
levels of skilled labor. Demand for
elcctrical workers is greater than
ever. In parI this is a result of sub-
stituting the usc of elcctricity for energy
rcquiremenls over other energy
forms. We in the IBEW know that
it is essential that we have a growing
economy that is capable of
providing full cmploymcnt. The Nalion
cannot afford the lingering
recession lhat we have experienced
since the oil embargo. The lBEW
continues to suppo rt energy projects
as a means to keep our vital economy
growing.

ship Program for 1977.
The IBEW offers to its members a
maximum 01 12 Founders' Scholarships
annually for full· lime, univer·
sity study leading to bachelor's de·
grees in specified fields. The number
of scholarships awarded is deter·
mined by the number of qualified
applicanls--one scholarship for each

LINEMAN SNAKE GRI PPER
Purposes of the inventIon: This invention presents a unique and
ingenious lineman pller with a snake gripper that will enable an
electrician to pull or push a snake through enclosed raceways. It is
designed to give leverage to the hand with the help of specially
designed non-slip handles making the electrician's job easier,
safer, and allowing the job to be done in less time. One of the
greatest problems confronting electricians is pulling or pushing
a snake through the degree bends of a raceway. The most com·
manly used tool for thiS chore is the jaw of an electrician's pliers.
The trouble with this tool is a lack of leverage, whereas the electrician
must squeeze the handles with great pressure and the jaws
still would slip sometimes causing injury to the hand and also con·
suming time and energy. This mvention prevents both of these
occurrences. The novel features of this invention are covered by a
patent application now pending in the United States and Canada
Patent Offices.

THIN WALL TUBING DEBURRING TOOL
Purpose of the Invention: Thl~ debumng tool is constructed in a manner
whereby both the inner and outer surfaces of a tubing section end may be
deburred without reversi ng the tool relative to the workpiece. Further, the
deburring tool is also constructed in a manner whereby the inner and outer
surfaces of a tube section end may be simultaneously deburred, within a given
working range of the tool. Finally, the cutting blades or stays of the tool are
resi lient to the extent that they are flexed dUring operation and thereby compen·
sate for slight errors during manual use of the tool to enable even and accurate
deburring of both the inner and outer peripheries of a tubing section end. The
tool may be used without reversmg the tool rela tive to the workpiece, be used
rapidly and manually and simultaneously deburrs the inner and outer surfaces
of the tubing end. The tool is patented and available to ISEW members for
$6.00.

Local 581 Mourns Passing
Of Brother Smith
L U. 581 , MORRISTOWN, NJ .-Our local
union mourns the loss of Brother Clarenee
Smith. who died on August 2]. 1976.
Brother Smilh was born on Decemhoc:r 14.
]886. in Morris Plains. New Jer",y. and
was a life· long rnident of that to", n. He
became a member of lilt' m EW on August
17. 1907. and in tbat same month and year
became a charter member of Local 581.
Brother Smit h was thcre al the inception
of our organization and helped to establish
the foundation upon ""hich our member·
ship's way of life is buill. It is interesting
to nOte Ihal during 8rolher Smith's lifetime
he witnessed the entire development of Ihe
labor movement in our country. I' or cum·
pie. in 1907, when CIlIrence signed our
charter. I )re~ident Teddy R oo~eve1t was
forced to exclude Japllllese laborers from
the Uniled Slates to protect America n
workers. In 19 19, just afler World War I.
BrOlher Smith saw an anti·communist
mo\'ement sweep the country during which
many tabor orsanizer~ were j;liled or de·
ported.
During the Depression. he saw wages and
jobs fall by Ihe wayside. and helped our
local to elose mnLs in order to maintain
our charter and local union. In 1943. Clar·
en!;e ~w I'resident Franklin Roosevelt
freeze all ..... ages. salaries. and prke~. In
1947. he saw Congress O'l.erride President
Truman's velo of tbe Taft·llartley Act.
which ended the closed shop. Urothef Smith
also experienced Ihe developffi('nt of full
employment and rising "'ases through the
19505 until hi ~ retirement in 1957 at the
age of 71.
Not many of our members were able to
attend the services for Brother Clarence
"Doc" Smith. But there were more thefe
than in 1907 when it all began.

TEN COMMANDMENTS OF ELECTRONICS
1. Beware of the lighting that lurketh in an undischarged
capacitor, lest it cause thee to be bounced upon thy
buttocks in a most ungentlemanly manner.
2. Cause thou the SWitch that supplies large quantIties of
juice to be opened and Ihusly tagged, so Ihy days may
be long on this earthly vale of tears.
3. Prove to thyself that all cirCUits that radiateth and upon
which thou worketh are grounded, less they lilt thee to
high-frequency potential and cause thee to radiate alsO.
4. Take ca re thou useth the proper method when thou
taketh the measure of high· voltage Circuits so that thou
doth not incinerate both thee and the meter: for verily.
though thou has no account number and can be easily
replaced, the meter doth have one, and, as a conse·
Quence, bringelh much woe unto the Supply Department.
5. Tarry thou not amongst tllOse who engage in intent ional
shocks, for they are su rely nonbelievers and are not
long for this world.
6. Take care thou tampereth not with interlocks and safety
devices, for this will incur the wrath of thy sentors and
bringeth the fury 01 the safety oHicer down about thy
head and shoulders.
7. Work thou not on energized equipment. for if thou do·
eth. thy buddies WIll surely be buymg beers for thy
widow and consoling her in other ways not generally
acceptable to thee.
8. Verrly, verrly I say unto thee, never service high voltage
equipment alone, for electriC cooking Is a slothful pro·
cess and thou migt1t sizzle in t hine own fat for hours on
end before thy Maker sees fil 10 end thy misery and
drag thee into His lold.
9. Trifle thou not With radioactive tubes and substances.
lest thou commence to glow in the dark like a fr ghtmng
bug. and thy Wife be frustrated nightly and have no
further use for t hee except t hy wage.
10. Commit thou to melllory the works of the prophets.
which are written in the instruction books. which giveth
the straight dope and which consoleth thee, and thou
cannot make mistakes, sometimes, maybe.
