The opinion of the Court by Justice Brennan, goes way back in history to
conclude that Congress intended only to bar as secondary, activity in
fact carried on against an employer for its effect somewhere else. Moreover,
it is plain that the Court was sensitive to the job-decimating effect of technology.

Were the latter the case, Frouge, the boycotting

there is no evidence of any motive for this contract provision
and its companion boycott other than the preservation of that work.

This, then, is not a case of a union seeking to restrict by contract
or boycott an employer with respect to the products he uses, for
the purpose of acquiring for its members work that had not
previously been theirs.
2.

The

only

question

thus

to be

decided,

and

which

is decided,

is

whether Congress meant, in enacting Secs. 8 (b)(4)(ii)(B) and 8 (e) of
the National Labor Relations Act, to prevent this kind of labormanagement arrangement designed to fend against possible adverse
effects upon workers arising from changing technology.
3.
Because of the possibly profound impacts that the answer to this
question may have upon labor-management relations and upon other

aspects of the economy, both sides of today's division in the Court
agree that we must be especially careful to eschew a resolution
of the issue according to our own economic ideas and to find one

PRODUCTION

Renewal without the bulldozer
Novel experiment may pave the way for rehabilitating
slum dwellings without tearing them down—by renovating
the core and dropping in prefab kitchens and baths
A year ago, 635 East 5th St. was a
squalid, rat-infested tenement, simi-

lar to scores of other dilapidated
buildings on New York’s Lower East
Side. But last week No. 635 became
the proving ground for a unique construction idea aimed at reducing
the cost and the time required to
rehabilitate slum dwellings.

“Instant rehabilitation,” as the
method has been dubbed, makes it

unnecessary to raze a building. First,
an 8-ft. square hole is cut into the
roof and into each of the floors di-

rectly below. This shaft is then used
to haul out debris as the building’s
interior is renovated. When the job
is finished, the shaft is filled with
pre-assembled
kitchen-bathroom
units. Cranes

lower. the $8,100 units

into place through the roof opening,
stacking them one on top of another, sealing the shaft.
Worth the effort. No. 635 and two
other buildings are being rehabilitated by T. Y. Lin & Associates, Los
Angeles consulting engineers, whose
work has been commissioned by the

Carol W. Haussamen Foundation of
New York. Obviously, last week’s
experiment has far-reaching implications: New York has some 58,000
tenements built in the 1890s, before

modern standards for ventilation and
sanitation were adopted. Says Edward Rice, president of Conrad Engineers, a T.Y.
Lin subsidiary:
“There is such a tremendous need
for better housing in New York that
it is worth
rehabilitating
these
buildings.”
Elsewhere, private ventures simi-

Pre-assembled kitchen-bathroom unit is hoisted into renovated building in a test of “instant rehabilitation.”

also under way. Among those participating are U.S. Steel, U.S. Gypsum,

and

Dow

Chemical.

The

aim

in all cases is to rehabilitate old
buildings at approximately one-third
of what it would generally cost to
build new apartment houses from
scratch.
The federal government will draw
on the experience of the several organizations testing rehabilitation in
its plans to renovate slum areas of
Philadelphia,
Boston,
Chicago,
Cleveland, and other cities.

Other experiments. An example of
other attempts at slum renovation is
that being carried out by the KateMaremount Foundation, a Chicago
philanthropic
organization.
The
foundation has bought five buildings on which rehabilitation work is
to begin shortly. What makes its
plans unique is that the tenants involved have been organized into the
Metro North Association and are
working closely with the designers
and architects to assure that the
finished products: will satisfy their
aspirations for better housing.
The Chicago experiment has another unconventional aspect in that
none of the present tenants will be
displaced. Rather, they will continue
living in the houses when the renovation is finished. The aim is not to
reconstitute the ghetto with gleaming new touches but to provide decent housing for those who have
chosen to live there.
Last April, when Mayor John V.

Lindsay of New York demonstrated
“instant rehabilitation” with a toy
crane for the press, the whole thing
looked like child’s play. But when
the real thing was tried last week,
complications set in. For example,
when the kitchen-bathroom units

Lessons.
Nevertheless,
after
months of tests with various materials

and

methods,

and

other

ex-

periments to determine how the renovation could be made to dovetail
with existing building codes, it is
expected that work on the two other
buildings can be finished more rapidly. The second building is expected
to take six to 10 days. And by the
time the third building is aanhet it
is planned to have a 60-man crew
finish the project in six eight-hour
days—the 48-hour goal of “instant
rehabilitation.”
Already,
problems
that
have
cropped up during various renovation experiments are leading to new
products and techniques, says Rusco
Industries, Inc., a Cleveland building supply manufacturer. One example is the company’s pre-finished,
adjustable window assembly that
can be installed by two men in a
half hour. Timber Engineering Co.
of Washington, D.C., is selling metal
fasteners to reinforce sagging floor
beams, and Union Carbide has developed a plastic floor-leveling device. End

Are

Cities

Our

Dying?

by EDWARD

J. LOGUE

Administrator of Redevelopment, City of Boston

Presidents and pundits, bankers and
civil rights workers join other publicminded citizens in expressing their alarm
about the state of America’s cities. They
are right. In a society of rising affluence
too much of the inner city is sinking into pervasive decay.
Some observers despair and propose
the city be abandoned. Others suggest
panaceas, usually governmental, which
will allegedly cure urban cancer. Quite
recently suggestions have been made

that perhaps the present enterprise system should take on the job of curing the
city’s ills.

In this confusion of analysis and prescription we often seem to lose sight of
the basic purpose for which the city
exists, of how hard it is to build a great
city and how inadequate any alternative
to the city proves to be.
| have walked the streets of great cities
around the world wondering how and
why they came to be. They are marvelous in their diversity. Each city has
its own special emphasis—perhaps as a
port,

a seat

of

government,

a center

of manufacturing. Yet they all have one
thing in common—the city is a place of
exchange—of goods, of course, but
equally important, of ideas.
No suburban shopping center, no landscaped industrial park, no elegant, cloistered research center, no system of instant remote communication is going to

of our civilization. In earlier times we
accepted this and made our cities, particularly their centers, graceful and
proud. Today many deny the city the
right to be important, to be beautiful,
to be cared about.

entirely safe. Do we realize what we do
when we rule entire sections of a community off limits? Why are we surprised
when those millions thus cut off from
society decide that they do not belong
Dey
and do not care?

Technology has made it possible for the
very important people who dominate
Our economy to use only a piece of the
city quite comfortably, regardless of the
decay that is never more than a mile
from their seats of power. These powerful men are usually those who have done
least to make the city livable. As wealth
and power increasingly ignore land and
political boundaries, it is possible to
grow up, prosper and die without ever

lic aid programs, vital as they are. The

first thing we can do is to improve their

tone, decide we care, allow a concern
for the city as a whole and its future to

guide private decisions.

When banks redline a blighted area and
shut off investment they may protect
against short run risk. But there is a
cumulative loss of confidence that can

take away the primacy of the urban center where the jostling of old and new
