SVOL. 24, No. 21 PUBLISHED BY LAGO OIL & TRANSPORT CO., LTD. October 19, 1963-


Provisional Recognition
Of IOWUA Withdrawn
Following Court Decision
In a letter to the IOWUA Oct. 11
Lago withdrew the provisltnal re-
cognition that had been extended to
the IOWUA board Aug. 31. Recogni-
tion was originally extended on the
basis that it would continue until the
validity or invalidity of the union
board election of Aug 26 was estab-
lished. The decision of the Cou t of
Fi-st Instance, announced Oct 7, was
that the election was null and void,
and as a result provisional lecogni-
tion of the board was withdrawn.
The judge found that the union's
constitution and bylaws had been
violated at the general meeting Aug
11, by the leqiirement that fifty
members support each nomination for
office. Because of this, he decreed,
the slate of candidates and the elec-
tion held Aug 26 were invalid
The company has informed em-
ployees that it continues to recognize
the IOWUA as sole bargaining agen-
cy for covered employees and will
continue to abide by the provisions
of the Collective Working Agiee-
ment.

Employee Medical Center


Facilities Will Be Moved


To Lago Hospital Next Year
A move of major importance to employees will occur next year when
the Employee Medical Center facilities are transferred to Lago Hospi-

will begin early next year. Completion is expected near the middle of
1964, at which time employee medical service will be moved to the
hospital.

A Right Waq
If there is a question, why not have it answered ?
This is a reasonable thought, and one practiced by all ages in all
undertakings every moment of the day. It is the only way man and
his society progress. Every now and then, though, the pattern is in-
terrupted; the brakes are applied. We choose to take things in our
own hands and decide what is right without regard for established
practices. Question of validity is ignored because of numbers of sup-
porters.
Numbers don't necessarily signify correctness, or that which is
best for an endeavor. A sudden impulse does not mean rule. That the
majority supports a group or principles does not give reason or right
to circumvent or go around those established procedures that lend
order and guides and purpose to people's actions.
Society and civilization have developed man's refinement in his ap-
proach to life, law and order. He has created checks and balances
which lead to relations and comparisons. Then he is able to establish
orderly standards and behavior adjudged to be most beneficial to the
development of man.
Our guides are within the rules set up by legally established and
popularly supported courts and governments. It is our bounden duty
to operate within these rules, or to change them through the organiz-
ed and accepted processes open to the public. To challenge the desire
to have law interpreted is to flout the respect and allegiance ol those
who support you, and those you work with. It is a requirement, really,
that those who lead or officiate over a body do so within bounds de-
terminated by the rule of law and order. To so comply gives stature
to the movement.
To seek an answer to a question of order and validity should be
welcomed. There should be no irreparable damage in an interpretation
of procedure. Supporters who are convinced of an organization's sin-
cerity and purpose will undoubtedly have their sympathies confirmed
and strengthened when there are no clouds of dissension, confusion or
impropriety to shroud endeavors.


Un Manera Corecto
Si tin un pregunta, pakico no contest ?
Esaki ta un idea razonabel, y uno cu ta worde practice pa hende di
tur edad, den tur actividad cada moment di dia. E ta e unico manera
cu hende y sociedad por progress. Di bez en cuando, sinembargo, e cus-
tumber ta worde interrumpi; e brake ta worde aplicA. Nos ta scoge di
tuma asuntonan den nos mes man y dicidi kiko ta corecto sin consi-
deracion pa e custumbernan estableci. Asunto di validez ta worde ig-
nora pa motibo di cantidad di apoyadornan.
Cifranan no ta nifica necesariamente cu algo ta corecto, of loke ta
mehor pa un empeiio. Un impulse di ripiente no ta nifica regla. Cu ma-
yoria ta apoya un grupo of principio no ta duna razon of derecho pa
traps of ignora e reglanan estableci cu ta duna orde, guia y objeto na
accionnan di hende.
Sociedad y civilizacion a desaroya door di e manera refine cu hende
ta acerca bida, ley y orde. El a sinja refrenA y balanzA su mes cual ta
dirigi su relacion y comparacionnan. E ora ei e ta capaz di establece
metodonan y conduct bon regla cu ta worde considerA mas provechoso
pa desaroyo di hende.
Nos guianan ta den reglanan cu a worde stipulA pa corte y gobierno
legalmente estableci y popularmente apoyA. Ta nos deber obligatorio
pa actua den es reglanan aki, of pa cambianan door di custumbernan
organize y acceptA cu ta na disposicion di public. Dudando interpre-
tacion di ley ta falta di respect y lealdad pa esnan cu ta apoyAbo, y pa
esnan cu ta traha cu bo. Ta necesario, en realidad, pa esnan cu ta guia
of tin puesto den un organization haci esey denter di limitenan stipula
pa regla di ley of orde.
Buscando un contest pa un pregunta tocante orde y validez mester
ta bonbini. No master tin ningun danjo irreparabel den un interpreta-
cion of regla. Apoyadornan cu ta convenci di sinceridad di un organi-
zacion y su objeto sin duda lo mira nan simpatianan confirm y for-
tificA ora cu no tin ningun sombra di desunion, desorden of improprie-
dad pa stroba nan esfuerzonan.

Toward Clarification


Certain Aspects of Recent IOWUA-Lago

Involvements Not Understood by Many
Many employees do not understand why the court declared the Aug.
26 election of the IOWUA Board invalid and not legal. Also many do
not understand why the company has not given full recognition to the
Board, and has not been willing to negotiate a new collective working
agreement.

The main thing to understand first
is that the IOWUA is an official or-
ganization. It is recognized by the
government of the Netherlands An-
tilles as the legal representative of its
members. To gain this recognition by
the government it must have a con-
stitution lor statutes These sta-
tutes must be approved by the gov-
ernment When the government signs
the statutes they become the official
and legal rules or laws of this organ-
ization
The IOWUA is a big factor in the
lives of its members, who make up
the majority of Lago's employees
The union negotiates with the com-
pany on employees' wages and on
their working conditions. When it is
negotiating a collective working
agreement, its purpose is to gain im-
provements in these things foi all its
members. At all times it is the mem-
bers' watchdog, seeing to it that
every part of the working agree-
ment is being followed. It is the
guardian of each individual member's
rights, and the guardian of his well-
being so far as this is affected by
the collective working ag element
Important Functions
These are important functions Be-
cause they are so important, and be-
cause they affect the lives of so
many people, the law of the Antilles
says these functions must be gov-
erned and controlled by a constitu-
tion, or statutes. These statutes are
the official law of the union. They
govern how the organization will
operate, how it will conduct its busi-
ness, what its officers shall do, and
how its members' rights in the organ-
ization shall be protected
In a very real way the statutes
protect the organization's niembeis,

Revised CYI Suggestion

Form Will Be Available
) For Employee Use Nov. 1
New Coin-Your-Idea suggestion
forms will be put into use Nov. 1
The form is basically the same as
Sthe old, but certain additions make it
e easier to use, clarify its identification
Sand facilitate processing the idea it
bears. It is to be remembered, though
t that a suggestion may be submitted
on any piece of paper. A suggestion's
consideration and acceptance depends
upon its merit and not the paper or
form it is written upon.
The new form, to begin with, is
bilingual. All instructions are in Eng-
lish and Papiamento. The third sheet
of the triplicate form, which is the
suggester's copy, also carries guides
to assist the suggester. In English
and Papiamento are the Coin-Your-
Idea procedures and a list of five
non-ceditable ideas.
Each form carries a CYI number.
The number will be used as a re-
ference number, which will mean that
the suggester, his department, the
CYI office and the investigator will
be able to refer to specific suggestion
form numbers for specific ideas.
Each of the three sheets of carbon
impregnated paper is identified in-
vestigator's copy (the first and ori-
ginal sheet), the CYI office copy (the
second sheet) and the suggester's
copy (the last sheet). On the rear of
the investigator's copy is a space for
evaluation of the idea. In addition to
providing a convenience for Lhe in-
vestigator, the evaluation space will
speed up the handling of the idea.
The new forms are available
through the Storehouse. The lew old
forms that are unused will be dis-
carded.

Suction Line Marine Inhabitants Dispossesed; Crusty


Mollusk and Like Life Expo:
Six thousand or so mollusk and marine lire
associates received the shock of their salty
water lives the other day. The pipe on whicn
they and their associates nestled and thrived
was unceremoniously yanked from its under-
water location and laid out on the cement tloor
of Powerhouse No. 2. The sea life didn't know
it, but the pipe is a cast iron suction pipe and
therefore their lease on the pipe could only be
about twenty years. So it was.
Cast iron in salt water service has a life ex-
pectancy of about twenty years. About that
time, as Utilities personnel anticipate, the p.pe
surface has turned into a black, soft, rust-like
compound as a result of the reaction of salt
water and cast iron. Over the graphitized area
- the salt water-cast iron reaction is called
graphitization marine life attached itself as
an all-covering blanket.
There are tour suction lines in Powerhouse
No. 2. Three lines and their 900 horsepower mo-
tor driven pumps were installed in 1913 The
fourth was put into service ten years later. The
four descend vertically into a flue, an enclosed
passage of lagoon water which runs under the
lower, south floor of the powerhouse. Although
the water is strained as it enters the powerhouse
area, tiny marine life cannot be restrained; they
pass through, fix themselves to the outside of
the forty-two-inch pipes and grow. Marine life
cannot attach to the inside of the cement-lined
pipes. The velocity of the water in the pipes,
which is 540 feet a minute, keeps the inside
clean. Swirls at the mouth of the pipes are re-
duced by a flare or bell-like shape at the sea
water opening. Each pump forces 20,000 gallons
of service water a minute into the refinery's
cooling system.
Three new cast iron pipes and pump casings
have been ordered and will replace the present
units. Meanwhile, the lines are being pulled,
scraped clean of their marine covering and re-
turned to service The installation of the new
pipes will be coincident with the general inspec-
tion of the pumps.
The marine life was extremely thick. Not one
area of its eleven-foot length was free. The ac-
tion of the marine life was such that when the
pipe was pulled across the powerhouse floor.
it seemed as if the whole piece was a wave of
motion.
The cooling water requirements of the entire
refinery are supplied by twelve pumps of dif-
ferent sizes, four at Powerhouse No. 2 and eight
at Powerhouse No. 1. The twelve supply Lago's
needs at the rate of 135,000 gallons a minute.
Sea water leaves Powerhouse No 2 through a

pills and liquids and balms. The X-
ray, electrocardiography, audiometry
and laboratory facilities at Lago Hos-
pital will be used for employee care
when the new clinic opens.
For some employees, the trip to
the employee clinic at the hospital
will be farther than the trip to the
Medical Center. For others those
in the General Office Building and
Administration Building area the
distance is the same. For employee
convenience, scheduled transportation
will be provided through the refinery
to the hospital
The Employee Medical Center was
opened Nov. 22, 1954. Its modern,
air-conditioned 12,000 square feet of
space replaced the dispensary which
stood and served for eighteen years
south of the Main Shops.
It is anticipated that following the
1964 move to the Lago Hospital,
other uses will be made of the avail-
able space at the Employee Medical
Center.
The new employee clinic will pro-
vide, as has the Medical Center and
as did the old dispensary, day-to-day
medical attention for all company
employees and will strive to keep
healthy employees healthy.
