"But haven't you any that have never been sick?" asked the bride. From 1906 until his death in 1946, John Fitzpatrick served as president of the Chi­ cago Federation of Labor, co­ ordinating the activities of all unions within the city and as­ suming an increasingly impor­ tant role in state and national labor movements. One close observer of the popular and selfless Irishman wrote that "Mis broad human qualities. . .justified his na­ tional reputation. An uncal- culating idealism, quite simple, bul quite determined, was in fJimN Organizationally, he spoke of "federated unionism," an approach between the ex­ clusive and fragmented craft unionism of the American Fed­ eration of Labor, open pri­ marily to skilled workers, and the completely inclusive stance of industrial unionism which placed skilled -and unskilled laborers in the same union. Politically, he supported the creation "of an independent labor party as well as a labor- owned communications system by which his reformist message could be spread. Putting these ideas into practice between 1915 and 1925 he established himself as the most progressive and effec­ tive champion of workers throughout the country. « In 1917 he began a success­ ful organizing campaign among the stockyards workers. Having worked as a blacksmith there in earlier years he authorita­ tively described it as "the blackest spot in American in­ dustry." The next year, 1918, he led an organizing drive a- mong the steel workers, por­ traying in graphic terms the way in which steel companies produced their product. "They brought over a boat load of human beings from Southern Europe, they dumped them i'1 to the st^el mills; they brought down a boat load of ore from the mines up in Michigan, they dumped that into the steel nulls; they ground them both together, they took out so much steel and out of that they took so much profit. . . grinding up human beings with ore and making steel and tak­ ing down profits." Millions of pieces of litera­ ture in many languages were distributed as workers Hooded into the new organizations. By 1920. the stockyards workers had achieved an eight-hour day. a 40-hour week, overtime pay. and equalized rates for men and woijnen. F irm opposi­ tion from management led to a steel strike called in Septem­ ber. 1919, answered by 350,000 workers -the largest strike in the nation's history to that time. To express his commitment to political action and to clar­ ify labor's political, interests in the city and state, Fitz­ patrick ran for mayor of Chi­ cago in 1919, although unsuc­ cessfully. To publicize Fitz- patrick's activities, the Chicago Federation of Labor in the same year began publishing The New Majority, a crusading labor paper which proclaimed its independence by refusing to accept advertising. A few years later a CFL resolution advocat­ ed a labor-owned radio station which, after protracted struggle with conservative lujioft and industrial interestsyfed to the establishment of/WCFL, the first labor-owned'radio station in the United States. WCFL began broadcasting in June, 1926. I- it/.patrick's program placed him between the conser­ vative .tjade unionists led by Samuel Gompers, president of the AFL, and the more radical elements represented by "Big" Bill Haywood and William Z. Foster, soon to found the Communist Party. A tragic set of forces operating in the early 1920s cut the ground from beneath Fitzpatrick's liberal, middle position within the un­ ion movement, and created a classic dilemma for him. A powerful open-shop drive, hysterical anti-radicalism, hos­ tility and jealousy from the leadership of the AFL, Com­ munist attempts to adopt him as a figurehead, and the failure of nerve or understanding among his audience, all com­ bined to force him either to shelve his ambitious program in order to stay within the main­ stream of the labor movement or to cut loose from it where his abilities would be lost to the men and women he felt called to serve. Under these pressures, the organizing drive in the steel industry collapsed, not to be revived until the appearance on the scene of the CIO and John L. Lewis in the 1930s; the conditions among the stock­ yards workers lapsed into a grimmer, earlier period; and the reformist messages of The New Majority became bland. ^-SiHI. the precedents were there to be ^studied by those who led labor's explosive growth m the 1930s; while for his Contributions during K915 to 1925 as well as the re­ mainder of a long career, John Fitzpatrick is well remembered by historians and laborers a- like. * In July 1775, John Dickinson proposed t o C o n g r e s s a resolution entitled: "Declaration of the C a u s e s a n d N e c e s s i t i e s o f Taking Up Arms" which stated that the Colonies did not de­ sire independence, but would not yield to slavery. It also hinted the Colonies might receive foreign aid against Britain. ENVIRONMENT & ECONOMICS By LESTER W. BRANN, JR. President Illinois State Chamber of Commerce Establishment of the major anti-pollution agen­ cies in Illinois --the Environmental Protection Agency, t^e Pollution Control Board,^md the In­ stitute for Environmental Quality --has brought about substantial benefits to the residents,of the state. •" We have cleaner air and cleaner water as a result of state efforts to achieve compliance with air and water quality standards. But we have paid for these benefits. We will continue to pay for them in the years to come because both government and industry have borrowed heavily to pay for equipfnent to stop pollution. The costs of running our sewage treatment facilities, our utilities and our factories have increased due to the operations of pollution control devices. In fact, we have paid much more for these bene­ fits than we originally thought we would when the first environmental laws were passed. Part of the reason for the increase in costs is that both federal and state pollution abatement programs have been expanded from their original concept. The rest of the reason lies in inflation and revised equipment needs. The federal government's Council on Environ­ mental Quality has estimated that national ex­ penditures for pollution control will amount to $325 billion for the 1973-1982 decade. The Illinois General Assembly has now taken a positive step forward in seeking an evaluation of our pollution control regulations from the stand­ point of their economic impact on local govern­ ments, agriculture, industry, commerce and each of us as citizens and consumers. The legislature's action was to approve a bill -- Senate Bill 805 --which calls for such economic- impact studies of pollution regulations. The result for the people of Illinois will be that economic considerations will be more properly balanced against the state's environmental needs, and more reasonable timetables for compliance can be established.
