Legion Disease
hearing set
ATLANTA (AP) - A U.S.
Senate subcommittee has
scheduled a hearing at the na
tional Center of Disease Control
here next Wednesday to discuss
Legionnaires' disease, the
counsel for the subcommittee
says.
The purpose of the hearing by
the subcommittee on health and
scientific research is to de
termine the progress of re
search, priorities set by CDC
officials and the impact of pub
lic pressure on the investiga
tion, said counsel Robert Wing
er.
The subcommittee — made
up of Sens. Edward Kennedy, D-
Mass., Jacob Javits, R-N.Y.,
and Richard Schweiker, R-Pa.
— also hopes to hear testimony
from health officials which will
put the much-publicized disease
in perspective, he said.
“We’re not going down there
to say, ‘You’ve botched the in
vestigation because you didn’t
f|nd the bacterium that caused
Legionnaires’ disease in two
weeks,”’ Winger said.
But, he added, “hard ques
tions” will be asked because
“lots and lots of public money is
going into this.”

Members of the United Automobile Workers Local No. 10

union officials called “overloaded jobs”. Negotiations for

the General Motors assembly plant in Doraville were
scheduled to resume today. (AP)

resume talks
DORAVILLE, Ga. (AP) -
Negotiations with General Mo
tors resumed today after 4,500
production workers at the
Doraville plant walked off the
job Thursday protesting what
union officials called “over
loaded jobs.”
William H. Shafer, secretary
treasurer of the United Au
tomobile Workers Local No. 10,
said the union members had
voted to strike because “GM is
attempting to get more than a
day’s work out of people.”
Union officials, in a letter
written a week ago, set a 10 a.m.
Thursday deadline for resolving
employee complaints of
overwork.
Nail producers
seek duties
PITTSBURGH (AP) - Steel
nail producers in the United
States have asked federal offi
cials to impose special duties to
counter alleged dumping by the
Candian wire nail industry.
Eight U.S. wire nail manufac
turers, including Atlantic Steel
of Atlanta, named the Canadian
producers Thursday in an anti
dumping complaint filed with
the Commissioner of Customs in
Washington.
They charged that wire nails
from Canada, which account for
about 10 percent of the domestic
supply, are being sold in the
United States at prices 12 to 50
percent less than those charged
Canadians.
The complaint also charged
that the Canadian government
duties on U.S.-produced nails
are 10 times greater than the
equivalent duties imposed by
the United States.
Until 10 years ago, foreign
The GM bargaining comittee,
which had tried to negotiate a
settlement before the strike,
ended its meeting Thursday
when the union representatives
walked out along with the em
ployees on the assembly line.
The grievances stem from
production changes made in
July when the plant began
manufacturing medium-sized
1978 cars, including the Olds
mobile Cutlass and Chevrolet’s
Monte Carlo and Malibu.
The plant’s 500 salaried em
ployees are still on the job but
the assembly line has stopped
until the issue is settled, a GM
spokesman said.
nails accounted for less than 40
percent of the domestic supply.
Today, they account for more
than 60 percent of the U.S.
market.
Other participants in the ac
tion included Bethlehem Steel,
the nation’s second-largest steel
producer; Armco Steel, the
country’s No. 5 steelmaker;
CF&I Steel of Pueblo, Colo.;
Davis Walker Steel of Los An
geles; Keystone Steel & Wire of
Peoria, Ill.; Northwestern Steel
& Wire of Sterling, 111., and
Penn-Dixie Steel of Kokomo,
Ind.
The producers said 41,000 tons
of Canadian nails entered the
United States during the first
seven months of 1977.

Dock strike taking its toll
SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) - The
five-week old dock strike is
beginning to take its toll on this
Georgia port city, and some
companies that rely on trans
porting by containerized vessels
are laying off workers or cut
ting their pay, company offi
cials say.
Among the industries hardest
hit are railroads, trucking lines,
container repair services,
container-leasing agencies, im
port-export companies and
steamship agents.
Port officials say business is
down about 35 percent because
of the strike which has affected
containerized vessels — ships
that carry only pre-loaded trail
ers and no loose bulk cargo.
The problem is compounded,
according to shipping agents,
by the reluctance of many com
panies to ship goods for fear the
strike will expand from con
tainer type vessels to all ships.
The Georgia Ports Authority
announced two weeks ago that
175 employees had been laid off
and the remainder of its 600-
man work force had been as
signed to a 32-hour work week.
“The strike has totally
crippled us,” said John Abbott
of Brown Transport Corp, about
his container division. “We

“Some companies are hang

Cocke, terminal manager for
