Frobes, dean of students at the University of Utah, will deliver the 32nd annual Reynolds Lecture on campus next spring. She is the first woman so honored. The Reynolds Lecture annually provides a platform for an outstanding faculty member whose research or creative work merits public recognition, said Dr. H. L. Marshall, president of the Frederick William Reynolds Assn. The lecture is free to the public and is scheduled for Feb. 19, 1968 in Kingsbury Hall. Dean Frobes, a native of Salt Lake City, holds three academic degrees from the U of U. She joined the campus staff in 1953. After several years on the staff of the Ft. Douglas Veterans Administration Hospital, she returned to the campus as dean of women, associate dean of students and lecturer in psychology. She was named dean of students in 1965. The dean has been a member of many student-facult- y commit- tees, including the fraternity advisory committee, the Deans Council, the apportionment board, Un;on Board and many more. She is active in civic affairs, serving with the Young Womens Christian Assn., Neighborhood House, the Community Chest and the Civilian Defense Volunteer Office. This is probably the most honored lectureship in Utah, said Dean Frobes. Im honored to be named in company with such distinguished colleagues. newspapers and listening to the news broadcasts, the United Steelworkers of America and other unions struck approximately 90 percent of the copper mining industry, including the Utah Copper Division of Kennecott at the end of the afternoon shift July 14. Here in the Utah Copper Division more than 6,000 employees, represented by the unions, have been out of work for more than two weeks. Because Kennecotts payroll, tax payments and purchases are vital factors in the economic well being of the state, there are two key questions which can reasonably be asked: 1. Why did the Steelworkers union strike Kennecott? and 2. What are the prospects for terminating the strike? In considering these questions a discussion of the background leading to the strike should be helpful and of interest. Prior to negotiations we were very optimistic in believing that we could conclude an equitable agreement with all unions without a strike. The merger of the Steel workers union and the International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers, we believed, would eliminate serious past union rivalries and thereby simplify collective bargaining and reduce the risk of strike. Another reason for optimism stemmed from the fact that Kennecotts wage and benefit structure is considerably superior to that of other copper producers. Assuming a reasonable approach to a new contract, we believed our position as the industrys leader would be a deterrent to the strike. Unfortunately, our optimism was short lived. Following the unions presentation of demand, Kennecott, on June 7, proposed as its opening offer a three year contract at a cost of more than 50 cents an hour. This offer would have increased wage and fringe benefit costs from $4.30 to more than $4.80 per hour per employee, by way of comparison, the 1964-6- 7 three year fcontract cost the company 37 cents per hour per employee. This means that Kennecotts opening offer exceeded the last three year settlement by 13 cents per hour per our opening Moreover employee. offer exceeded the value of the 1965 steel industry settlement, which amounted to 47.3 cents an hour and was hailed by the Steelworkers as the highest wage benefit package negotiated in the steel industry since 1956. We therefore considered our opening offer a good one. The Steelworkers rejected the Kennecott offer summarily on June 8. When negotiations broke up on July 14, the company stated it was willing, and still is, to bargain upward from its opening 50 plus cents per hour per employee proposal. However, the demands of the Steelworkers, considerably in excess of $1 per hour per employee were so exorbitant and unrealistic than an agreement was impossible. Under the auspices of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, the company and union met again on July 26.

Sen.. Frank E. Moss of Utah said Thursday that Chairman William H. Tucker of the Interstate Commerce Commission has clarified the forthcoming reorganization of the ICC Denver office. Sen. Moss wrote to Chairman Tucker last week to obtain data concerning the reorganization because these contemplated changes may adversely affect the trucking industry in Utah. Sen. Moss explained that the changes are required now that the new Department of Transportation is in operation. About 435 ICC positions and more than $5 million of its anual budget went to the new cabinet agency. The changes particularly affect ICC staff operations in the field Sen. Moss was told. Under the plan, an I.C.C. field office will remain in operation in Salt Lake City, with its control shifted to the Department of Transportation. The Denver ICC office will continue to provide the same services as before, including information and other material which will be available to Utah interests without the necessity of travel or communication with the San Francisco ICC office. Even before the current realignment, Sen. Moss has been told, all managerial direction and technical directing of accounting and railroad programs for Utah, New Mexico and Colorado were provided by officials headquartered in San Francisco. This will remain unchanged. All ICC safety functoins have been transferred to the Department of Transportation, which will not at this time attempt to transfer these functions to a location which woudl be inconvenient to Utah truckers. The Department of Transportation will not, during fiscal year 1968, establish a full complement of field offices, Sen. 50 cent an hour proposal was a Moss said. bargainable one, the union refused to budge from its present position. Union demands continue to be in excess of $1 per hour per employee. In effect, the union attitude seems to be that the company must accept the union position or else. For our part, we would like to achieve a reasonable settlement so that we and our employees can get back to our business of producing copper. Reluctantly, we have to conclude that Kennecott and this community are in for a long strike. SWITCHING?
