Election Will Decide

RepresentationDesired


March 13 is a significant date in the history of employee
representation at Lago It was on this date that the company
chose to review with the Lago Employee Council plans to
clarify and confirm the form of representation preferred by
Lago's staff and regular employees.
At this meeting, the LEC informed management again of its
intent to change to an independent union. Council members
stated that pending the formation of the new union they were
not prepared to negotiate a new contract. Management ex-
plained that following the expiration of the current contract
April 30, a new contract would not be bargained until a re-
presentation election has been held to determine the form of
representation preferred by eligible employees. Such a choice,
for example, might be the present type of representation, or
a different type of independent union, or an internationally
affiliated union, or no union at all.
Whatever form of representation is chosen will be recognized
for negotiating a new contract. During the period after April
30 that it takes to determine the representation preferred, the
company will continue to observe the terms of the LEC con-
tract A reasonable amount of time following the April 30
contract expiration date will be allotted interested represent-
ative groups to publicize their existence and objectives before
the representation election is held.
The recent emergence of J A Berger, formerly of the Royal
Board of Mediators in Holland, came at the invitation of the
central government in Curaqao. His appointment followed a
strike threat and government-declared mnety-day cooling off


No Biz Like Show Bis;

Aruba on TV in Gotham
There's no business like show business. This is a time-worn state-
ment in the U.S. entertainment world and it's the truth. Show business
can be the zaniest, wackiest and most confusing undertaking in the
business world. But it is organized confusion aimed at producing an
end result and it is this end result that counts.


Aruba had its first taste of big
time show business when an indepen-
dent television production company
descended on the island, en masse,
the second week in March. Stepping
into a self-created, circus-like at-
mosphere were producers, director,
stars of stage and screen, high-
fashion models, cameramen, makeup
and wardrobe personnel, video tape
technicians, sound men, lighting ex-
perts and property girls. The project
at hand was to tape electronically a
half-hour television program for the
Columbia Broadcasting System.
In three hectic days the indepen-
dent team did just that. Titled
"What Makes A Woman?," the pro-
gram was telecast the evening of
March 14 to millions of viewers in
the New York City area over CBS's
Channel 2. Put on video tape at a
cost of more than $80,000, the show
had a basic theme of introducing the
latest French and Italian fashions
contrasted against the backgrounds
of "the exciting Caribbean island of
Aruba." The quotes are from a New
York Times advertisement published
the day of the telecast which further
exclaimed that the famous stars of
stage, television and motion pictures,
Orson Bean and Rita Gam, would
headline the fashion extravaganza.
European Fashions
The plot was interwoven around
the Aruba Caribbean Hotel, eight
lovely models, Mr. Bean and Miss
Gam and $60,000 worth of Dior,
Fabiani, Simonetta and Ricci crea-
tions. Mr. Bean plays a fashion
photographer who knows next to
nothing about the profession and
Miss Gam is johnny-on-the-spot
because she just happens to run into
Mr. Bean and she just happens to
know all there is to know about
fashion photography. Woven in and
out of this fabric is an interview
with Aruba's police commissioner,
performances by local steel band and
string groups and a pool-side fashion


show. What actually survived after
cutting and splicing by tape editors
in New York is known only to New
Yorkers tuned to Channel 2 at 7:30
p.m, March 14.
The pace set by the production
people was terrific to say the least.
According to Ben Squires, who co-
produced the show with one Robert
Stivers, the situation of events was
something like this. The pair sold
their idea to CBS but had no sponsor
or location. A contact with Aruba of-

period, a succession of events that occurred so rapidly that
Lago, at one point, had little or no knowledge of what had
transpired.
The decisions that provoked a quickening of representation
activity revolved around the referendum petition submitted by
a group of employees. The referendum, which challenged the
Lago Employee Council's position as sole bargaining agent
for Lago's staff and regular employees, was submitted to In-
dustrial Relations Department representatives Jan. 3. The
referendum originally sought within the framework of the
contract to ascertain what the Petroleum Workers Federation
of Aruba-instigated and abortive strike of Nov. 18 had failed
to support: the PWFA claim that well over half of the LEC
constituency is on its dues-paying roles.
Petition Stalemate
Shortly after submitting the petition, however, the petition-
ing group made known their unwillingness to conduct the
referendum in accordance with the provisions of the contract.
The stalemate arose when the petitioning group did not with-
draw its petition, and the government indicated that it did not
wish to supply observers or otherwise participate as long as
the referendum had to be run according to the procedure set
up in the contract.
At this juncture, the board of the PWFA informed the
federal mediator Feb. 8 that the PWFA was considering a
strike proposal to its membership because Lago had not ac-
ceded to its demands to conduct the referendum in a PWFA-
suggested manner. Evidently a strike was voted by the
PWFA membership for Feb. 10, and the federal mediator
notified of PWFA intent if Lago did not comply with its
wishes. Lago read of these developments in a morning news-
paper Feb 10, and then at noon the same day heard over a
local radio station that the government (1) had declared a

video stars and technicians and video tape equipment. The purpose was to

ninety-day cooling off period, and (2) had named Mr. Berget
to mediate the "dispute."
Lago countered the use of the word dispute by insisting
that the majority of employees neither supported the abortive
November strike, which a Curacao newspaper labeled "a wild
unthinking action," nor lent appreciable encouragement to the
referendum endeavor of the PWFA. Mr. Berger arrived from
Holland, nevertheless, and met with Lago representatives.
Acting in good faith to its employees and aware of the in-
decision and confusion that must surround much of the recent
Lago controversy in the minds of these employees, Lago an-
nounced its decision to review with the LEC plans to seek out
the representative preference of eligible staff and regular
voters.
In association with the clamor of the world's many voices
which are being heard today, it is, perhaps, a mark of the
times that Lago has had more representative activity in the
last five months than it has had in its quarter-century of
representation dealings.
Representation Activity Increases
Prior to the November PWFA strike, Lago had experienced
a 1949 substitution of the LEC for the Employees' Advisory
Committee, a 1951 work stoppage that grew more out of mis-
understanding than discontent, and 1955 and 1957 referendums.
Beginning last November, staff and regular employees were
either aware of or involved in a rapid series of events that
included PWFA request for recognition, a strike threat, an
abortive strike, a referendum petition submitted, another
strike threat, a cooling off period, a European mediator called
in, and an LEC election twice postponed before the actual
election was held. These events were followed by the company
announcement that April 30 would terminate the present form

Oscar M. Lasser, Julius Landau
and Ralph D. Osborn have been as-
sociated with the refinery since the
early 1930's. Their careers, how-
ever, are as varied as can be. This
was revealed at a special manage-
ment staff meeting March 8 when
the three Lago employees were
given recognition for having complet-
ed thirty years of company service.
Mr. Lasser was cited for two
achievements, one outstanding and
one unique. A senior engineer in
TSD-Engineering, he was lauded by
TSD Superintendent C. R. Greene for
his on-the-spot design work that ac-
celerated the construction of the is-
omerization unit during World War
II. In a lighter vein, Mr. Greene re-
vealed that Mr. Lasser had the uni-
que distinction of being the only
Lago employee to receive all of
Lago's service emblems in the short
span of five years.

Knows Cracking Plant
Mr. Landau, process foreman in
Process-Cracking, knows the work-
ings of the Cracking Plant as well
as he knows the workings of a fine
watch. He was a watch repairman in
Oranjestad in 1930 when he decided
to join Lago. According to M. Fisk,
Process Department superintendent,
Mr. Landau knows every nut and
bolt in the Cracking Plant as a re-
sult of his close association with that
unit over a three-decade span.
Mr. Osborn, Mechanical-Pipe zone
foreman, has been a pipe craftsman
during his entire thirty-year career.
This, said Mechanical Department
Superintendent G. L. MacNutt, led to
his nickname of Ozzy the Pipefitter
many years ago, a name familiar to
most of his associates. "Ozzy married
one of Lago's best stenographers,"
Mr. MacNutt quipped, "but we got
her back so we forgive him." His
service career was interrupted in the
early Thirties when he went back to
Texas. He returned to Aruba be-
cause, in his own words, of the "nasty
wet weather in southeast Texas "
After their service histories and
personal achievements had been dis-
cussed by departmental superinten-
dents, the three were congratulated
by Vice President W. A Murray on
behalf of Lago's executive commit-
tee, board of directors and manage-
ment staff. Mr. Murray then present-
ed the long-service employees with
thirty-year certificates and emblems.
Mr. Greene told those in at-
tendence that Mr. Lasser had been
assigned a variety of jobs and duties
during his Lago tenure and had done
them all well. He went on to say that
Mr. Lasser was a good man on war-
time priorities and that a mile-post
in his career was his work on the is-
omerization unit. "Never before,"
said Mr. Greene, "had a job been
done so fast. Most of Oscar's draw-
ings were done on the spot and


r


Ralph D. Osborn


handed to construction men." Lago
needed the unit for its war-time
aviation gasoline program and much
of ISAR was built from vessels and
piping reclaimed from the salvage
yard.
How Mr. Lasser acquired ten-year.
twenty-year and thirty-year service
emblems and a twenty-five-year
service watch in the short span of
five years is another story. He join-
ed Lago July 11, 1932, after three
years with the parent company in-
cluding a stint in the Sales Division,
and ultimately received his ten-year
service emblem in 1940. Mr. Lasser
resigned in 1943 but returned to Lago
in 1944 and had to start his service
career all over again which made
him eligible for a second ten-year
service emblem in 1956. Then service
credit rules were revised in 1957 and
Mr. Lasser got a windfall of service
emblems. In June, 1957, he received
his twenty-year button and five
months later he was presented a
twenty-five-year service watch
Three and one-half years later came
Mr. Lasser's thirty-year service
award.
Refinery Job Promising
Mr. Landau decided in December,
1930, that refinery work was more
promising than the watch repair
business He started at Lago as a
fireman in the Pressure Stills and
ultimately was advanced to assistant
operator and then maintenance fore-
man. In 1955 he was promoted to
process foreman. Mr Fisk said that
Mr. Landau is greatly respected for
his knowledge of cracking operations
and is almost invariably successful
in pinpointing troubles. "Mr Landau
also serves as a consultant when a
watch is selected as a retiree's gift.
When he says a watch is good, you
can be sure it's good," Mr. Fisk add-
ed.


In recalling his job interview at
Lago Mr. Landau said he had been
apprehensive about seeking Lago
employment because of his limited
English. Friends told him he could
circumvent this by just sounding out
an American O.K. to any question he
didn't understand. When Bill Morris,
the hiring boss, was satisfied with
a demonstration of Mr. Landau's
mechanical ability he concluded the
interview by saying, "You've got the
job. By the way, what's your name?"
Mr. Landau's English failed him at
this moment. He didn't understand
the question so he piped up, "O.K."
A few days later the foreman ap-
proached Mr. Landou and said, "How
are you doing O.K.?" Fortunately,
the name didn't stick.
Mr. Osborn came to Lago June 10,
1930, as a pipefitter but resigned in
1936 for the Texas job. He returned
to Lago in 1937 as a tradesman first
class and progressed through various
job levels to trades foreman in Feb-
ruary, 1955. His job title was later
changed to zone foreman. Mr. Mac-
Nutt said that Mr. Osborn has been
quite a sportsman over the years and
is now interested in boating, fishing
and water skiing.
Mr. Osborn took the floor and re-
lated how foreign staff employees
were first housed in the so-called
sheepsheds, then moved to Kelly
Flats and, if they were lucky, finally
assigned to the bachelor quarters
"Those were the days of the big
Saturday night parties. We had a
nice fraternity-type life that center-
ed on our chief gripe -food It's
hard to believe that Aruba was little
more than a pumping station in the
easily days," he said Mr. Osborn
also pointed out the changes signi-
ficant to improving working condi-
tions and methods in the pipe craft.

Programmers


On IBM 141
Programming analysts from the
Departments have been learning a
the language of a new electronic cc
as part of a course twenty-six Lago
training will enable the company t
1410 computer system.
By the end of January, 1962,
Lago's present IBM 650 computer
system is scheduled to be replaced
with IBM's newly-introduced 1410
model. Lago will be one of IBM's
first customers to be issued the new
system
To help Lago prepare for the in-
stallation, course participants have
been attending classes six mornings
weekly since March 1. Under the in-
struction of S. E. Rifkin, IBM sys-
tems service representative from
New York, the programmers have
been learning the "language" of the
new computer so they can convert
all IBM 650 programs to 1410 pro-
grams. They also spent several days
at the course's outset studying the
nomenclature and function of the
different units that make up the
1410 system. Stressed, too, were ad-
vantages of the new system over the
650 system now in use with em-
phasis placed on additional accom-
plishments possible through use of a
1410 system. In addition to all this,
the men studied the system's auto-
coder, a symbolic programming de-
vice that will reduce programming
time.
The main reason behind Lago's de-
cision to change from IBM's proven
650 computer system to the new
1410 system is that the 1410 can
handle programs that are too large
for the 650 plus those that are not
economical to put through the 650
system.
The 1410 is a fully transistorized
computer. Though smaller than a 650
installation, it can do more things
and carry more facts. It is also fas-
ter and more versatile. This means
that Lago will be able to program
larger computations and get results
faster. The equipment takes up less
room, produces less heat and is said
to require less maintenance than the
650 system which uses vacuum tubes
instead of transistors.
Taking the training program are
men from such Accounting Divisions
as Systems and Programming, Tab-
ulating and Statistics, and Shipping
and Process. TSD men involved in
the program are from the Economics
and Programming group, Utilities
Engineering, Process Engineering
and from the Laboratories.
Units that will comprise the sys-
tem are the 1410 computer, six tape
units, high speed printer and card-
read-punch unit. An example of the
1410's speed is that its printer can

650's speed is 150 lines. The 1410
card-read-punch unit reads 800 cards
a minute while the 650 reads just 200
cards a minute.
Lago uses an electronic computer
system to compute blending and unit
operations and in payroll, storehouse

Fashion Show Aids Cancer Fund


Exciting fashions for the beach, play-
time and the cocktail hour gave the
audience at the Princess Wilhelmnna
Cancer Fund fashion show a pre-Easter
view of what's new for 1961. The setting
for the March 11 benefit was the art-
fully decorated courts at Lago Sport
Park. More than 400 fashion fans at-
tended the show which earned the Can-
cer Fund a total of Fls. 1140.
Thirteen lovely models styled the wide
variety of swim suits, shorts, sun dress-
es and evening wear furnished by Whit-
fields. In addition, the audience was
treated to both martial and steel band
rhythms, songs styled by the youthful
Los Casinos and a graceful Samba Fan-
tasia dance. A total of fifty-two door
prizes, donated by island merchants,
were distributed to lucky ticket holders
amid the witticisms of Charles Morales.
Mrs. T. N. Griswold organized the
gala event with the assistance of Mrs.
E. M. Marteny and R. E. Goley.


FASHIONS WERE styled by thirteen lovely models. On
parade were fashions for sun and surf and the cocktail hour.

A. Berend, instrumentman A. El ta conectando tubonan individual pneumatico
pa control instrumentonan mientras e plant ta den operation.


Multi-Tubing Replaces Old Lines

Mechanical-Instrument men are in the final stages of
installing a new type instrument tubing that has all the
appearances of electrical cable protected by armored con-
duit yet transmits pneumatic signals instead of electrical
impulses. In conduit form it is called multi-tubing and a,
total of 80,000 feet of the quarter-inch polyethylene-coated
copper tubing has been installed. Work is nearly completed
at No. 10 Visbreaker, Alkylation No. 2 and No. 9 Vis-
breaker and is finished at the Cat Cracker.
Essentially, the tubing is used in a unit's pneumatic con-
trol system which is a closed loop affair. A signal (air
impulse) is transmitted through a single tube to a junction
box from which multi-tubing is carried in conduits to con-
trol house receivers. There the signal is controlled or read-
justed. The readjusted impulse is sent back to a control
valve where corrections are made to flow, pressure, tem-
perature or level, whichever is the case.
Although the coated tubing and armored conduit are
more costly than ordinary copper tubing, installation is THIS MULTI-TURING conduit holds
much easier and the new material lasts many times longer. twelve of the quarter-inch polyethylene

Another attractive feature of the new multi-tubing is
that in most cases it can be installed while a unit is in W anta epi mae

JACK BENNY, one of the most loved and best known radio and television comedians in
U.S. show business, visited Aruba in early March. With him on a tour, left, is M. Kuiperi,
Tourist Bureau head. Jack was intrigued, center, with the decorative relief designs on a
cunucu home. The comedian has risen to fame as being somewhat of a pinch-penny and a
frustrated also-ran in the Academy Awards. But in real life he is warm and gentle as this
cunucu lad, right, will attest.

REPRESENTATION
(Continued from page 1)
of representation, and that the type
of representation preferred by eli-
gible employees would be decided at
the polls.
Lago employees will always be re-
presented; the type will be of their
own choosing. These are basic with
Lago employee philosophy. Lago was
one of the first Caribbean employers
to adopt employee representation. It
did so in 1936 stemming from the
concept that an established system of
representation was necessary for its
employees and itself in the proper
conduct of business. Lago has stead-
fastly and faithfully lived up to the
pattern it set years ago for working
and living with its employees:
(a) just treatment of each em-
ployee,
(b) opportunity for development,
(c) a cooperative program for soc-
ial and economic security, and
(d) collective dealing with em-
ployee-elected representatives.
Lago has in the past made known
its preference to work with indepen-
dent labor organizations. Time and
events have not altered its prefer-
ence. Nevertheless, Lago has also
made known its decision that in keep-
ing with item four of the above stat-
ed pattern, it will recognize the col-
lective bargaining agent designated
by the employees.
