editorial COlnlnellt • All ISEW local unions in the United Slotes have received their 1973 AFl·ClO Committee on Political Education (COPE) voluntary contribution tickets. This yeor funds ore urgently needed to help many Senators and Congressmen who ore friendly to the causes of organized lobor in their political campaigns in 1973 and 197 .... In past elections, a maior effort of lobor has been gelling our members out eorly in the campaigns to raise funds, conduct voter registrotion drives, attend rollies, tolk to our friends and neighbors about lobor's candidote and the many other facets thot arc so necessary for politico I victo ry. Election campaigns ore mos' expensive. The literature such as brochures, leaflets, photographs, letters to constituents, telephone and other office expenses are very, very costly. In the majority of cases those candidates that are unfriendly to organized labor seem to have plenty of financial backing, in some cases untold large sums of money for eompoigning. All of the monies raised by COPE are small in eomparison to the huge sums raised by big business and individual greedy wealthy people who hate to see the workers receive just and fair legislation in Congress. large anti·lobor funds are spread out all across the eountry to help eandidates who would vote against lobar. To suecessfully re-elect Senotors and Congressmen who have voted for the welfare of the workers of this country, it will toke a great effort on the part of all members of organized labor to overcome the serious challenges of anti-union candidates. I urge alilBEW local unions to start now on COPE drives. Many locals will reach 100% in collections and then still continue to raise COPE dollars. They are to be congratulated. The $2.00 contribution that each member should make is one small way of supporting favorable and friendly people who are not afraid to stand up for the working class and who fight for the principles of fairness and equality for all citizens, rich or poor. The ISEW has always been a great supporter of the AFl-ClO's COPE activities and all the officers and members can be justly proud of the record of the Brotherhood's locals in all the branches. I know that this year the IBEW will once again prove thot it does support its friends and will help defeat it s enemies. , 18fW Journal
