Odmah u pocetku usudujem se
da kazem: i zaposlenje i zaStlta
prirodne sredine.
Pod pritiskom teSklh privrednih
prilika u Kanadi, kada izmedu osta-lo- g
imamo i skoro milion nezapo-sleni- h,
sve беббе nam dolaze sa
raznih strana miSljenja, nerazum
Ijiva i 6udna, da bi trebalo povesti
racuna na prvo mesto o zaposle-nj- u, bez'bbzira na zaStitu prirodne
okoline!
Kada ovakve misli padaju na
pamet vlasnicima industrlje i od-govorn- im
predstavnicima pollt!6-kihkrugoy- a,
6ovek ne bi trebalo da
se mnogo Iz6udava. Jer, u vremeni-rfi- a
druStvenih i privrednih kriza to
je uvek i bio slu6aj. I jedni i drugi
su na svoj zaobilazni nafiin dos-tavlja- li
druStvu kako se postavljaju
suvise strogi zahtevi za zaStitu pri-rodne
sredine I unutra I izvan fabri-k- a
i drugih industrijsklh postroje-nja- ;
da to koSta rrmogo i da na
kraju presudno utide i na postoja-nj- e
tih industrija, dovodeci u pita-nj- e
i samo zaposlenje radnlka.
Ovakva miSljenja su nam se podno-sil- a
i kao neposredne pretnje da
prihvatlmo ultimatum III be se
odnosna fabrika da preseli gde
'stroga kontrola ne postoji? All
kada ovakva miSljenja dolaze i od
predstavnika organizovanih radnl-ka
Kanade, kao Sto jeglavnl blagaj-ni- k
Kanadskog radnlCkog kongresa
(Canadian Labor Congress), Do-nald
Montgomery, ne samo da je to
nerazumljlvo, nego je tude. i zato
neprihyatljivo interesima radnika,
koji bi se na-ovak-av
na6ln prlnudlli
da rade ma pod kakvim uslovlma, I
ne samo da rade ve6 i da zlve.
Govore'61 sa novinarlma na kon-ferenc- ijl
o zaposlehostl I zaStitl pri-rodne
sredine 21. februara o.g. u
Ottawi, Montgomery je rekao dos-lovc- e:
"Kada Imamo skoro mlllon
bez posia, bila bi krlminalna neod-govorn- ost da se dovede u opasnost
otvaranje radnih mesta 6ak I kada
postoje vrlo ozbiljnl zahtevi za zaS-titu
prirodne sredine".
On smatra da se od radnlka ne
moze da обекије da zrtvuju svoja
radna mesta da bl se prirodna oko-liriazaStit- iia, izuzevako bi postoja-l- a
neka vrsta naknade ilhdruga rad-na
mesta.
- Kao lek protiv ovakvog stanja
Montgomery predlaze da se stvorl
fond za naknade zbog nezaposle-nos- ti
kao posledlce mera za zaSti-tu
prirodne okoline, po ugledu na
postoje6e fondove za zaStitu radni-ka
povredenlh na poslu. Kao dopu- -
nu ovom misli da bi bllo potrebno
da se ustanove program! za preS-kolovan- je,
sticanje noylh znanja I
zanimanja I planovi za nova radna
mesta.
Teret za kako zaStitu prirodne
sredine tako I o6uvanje novlh
radnih mesta, Montgomery smatra
da bi trebalo da padne na leda
celog druStva.
U prilog svojih tvrdenja, on nam
podnosi. slu6aj INCO u Sudburyu
"za koji je i federalnl ministar-enei'glj- e
svojevremeno bio kazao
da su propisi za zaStitu od zagadi-vanj- a
sredine u sudburskom baze-n- u
prestrogi I da je to bio jedan od
razloga Sto je INCO preselio deo
svojih delatnostl u carstvo zagadl-vanj- a
indonezije I Gvatemale, na
Stetu 3.000 izgubljehlh radnih mes-ta!"
"Ovo je straSan primer kako je
zbogvzaStlte prirodne sredine izgu-blje- no
zaposlenje,' Sto daje dokaza
da ce se I u buducnosti sve ve6l
broj radnih mesta na6i ugrozen",
rekao je.
Svakako da je ovo nova teorlja
koja brani postupke korporaclja I
maltene ne okrivljuje same radnike
Sto zele bolje zivotne I radne uslo-v- e,
"osudujuci ih da zbog toga
ostaju bez poslal Montgomerylkao
da je sasvim zaboravio ili se pravi
da je zaboravio, da je u srcu toga
nezajazljiva zelja korporaclja za
profitom. Profit po svaku cenu, na
Stetu radnika i celog druStva.
Covek mora da osetl I bes i zaljenje
kada vidi da ovako jedan istaknut
radnldki predstavnik joS nema pre-6iS6e- ne
pojmove o odnosima rad-nika
I poslodavaca.
A pogotovu da nam njegoya izja-v- a
pada u vremenu kada je broj rad-nika
povredenih I obolelih na raz-ni- m
radnim mestima, u fabrikama,
rudnicima i drugde, sve ve6i; kada
je I vazduh i voda I zemlja sve
zagadenija od industrijskih izlufii-vanj- a,
uprkos postojede kontrole I
protesta javnostlv Prosto nevero-vatn- o
damu to nije poznato?
Mozda bi trebalo da on obrati
vecu i ozbiljnlju paznju baS na
samu vodukoju pijemo, koja mu je
pred samim nosoml Zar joS nije
primetio kakvu vodu plje? Kakav
vazduh udiSe? Kakvu hranu jede? I
zar da posle tolikih godina, ne,
decenija, radnifiklh napora da zlve I
rade u boljim uslovima, dozvolimo
da se sve to4Sto je postlgnuto, ma
koliko da nije 1 dovoljno, sada
razlabavi?

when he was president of 1he
United Mine Workers.
I think the American public
does not understand the Ameri-can
mine worker and never
wlJI. it doesn't understand how
a coal miner thinks or why he
thinks that way. it doesn't
understand why he stops work
or why he decides to go to work.
We find that the average citizen
has a lot of academic sympathy
for the abstract coal miner. But
that is as far as it goes.
From the standpoint of effi-ciency
of operation loyalty of
membership, and mobility of
action, under difficult cond-itions,
there has never been a
union like the United Mine
Workers of America.
They will
They will
start. They will
stay stopped.
And public
doesn't know
why they stop
or start. The
public

Life in mines is naked and
elemental1. Relations are not
cushioned with sophistry. Min-ing
is the only labor Is
performed underground. It re-quires
the ability to withstand
noxious gases which exude,
from the, earth; the absence
sunshine—the 'absence the
violet rays essential to health—
because the miners go to work,
most of the year before they see
the and they come out when
the sun's power has ended.
Mining is
labor. It Is a laborious industry
which requires the exercise of
great thews and sinews and the
ability to withstand fatigue.
Mining Is also a task that re-quires
skill, knowledge and
training. Men never mnks effi-cient
miners If thay first enter
the mines as adults. They have
go in at an age when they
absorb the psychology of the
industry, when their reactions,
nervous and physical, are such
that they can adapt themselves

that training.
But every man In tno Indus
try must die or be inlurod every
six years and if one escapes it'
moans another man. has bsen
iniurod twice. That is tho
mathematical record of the
industry. It is appalling. It is
the worst In the civilized world.
The mining industry continues
to be a mortician's paradise. .
These hazards not only bear
on the men In the mines, who,
after all, become calloused to a
certain degree and become
inured to the danger of death
thcit comes every day, but they
also bear heavily on his family.
There is not a woman in a
mining town In this country, who
does not gasp every morning
when her man leaves to go to
the mines, because she has no
assurance that she will ever see
him again.
Be it known to you that, aside
from the hazards, the occupa-tional
diseases of the mining
industrV are a terrible scourge.
An investigation conducted
some years ago by the Bureau
of Mines, the United States
Public Health Service, and the
UMWA revealed that In our an-thracite
Industry one man In
every four was afflicted with
silicosis, a progressive, malig-nant
ailment from which men
die and for which medical men
have evolved no adequate
counter-protectio- n, and one
man In every four dies that
way, because he works In an
industry essential to public re-quirements.
And, In addition to the haz-ard-s,
in addition to the
diseases, In addition to the la-boriousn- ess,
in addition to the
degree of skill required in this
industry, comes the social
indignity and humiliation and
constant baiting visited upon
the mine workers every time
they ask for redress.
The public does not know that
a man who works in a coal mine
is not afraid of anything except
his God; that he Is not afraid of
injunctions, or politicians, or
threats, or denunciations, or
verbal caseations, or slander
—that he does not fear death.
