Abel, I. W. Abel
Source: The Canton [Ohio] Repository; 11 Aug 1987
I. W. Abel, age 78, of 7267 Canton Rd. NW, Malvern, Passed
away Monday afternoon in his residence after an illness of four months.
He was born in Magnolia
on Aug. 11, 1908, son of the late John F. and Mary Anne Jones Abel, and resided
in the East Sparta and Canton area until 1952.
Mr. Abel, who had made his home in Sun City, AZ, for a number of years
since his retirement in 1977, had changed his residence to Malvern about a year
ago.
Mr. Abel joined the
labor movement as a young man during the Depression, when the only work he
could find was firing kilns in a brickyard for 16 cents an hour, 12 hours a day
and seven days a week. From his job in
the brickyard, Mr. Abel was, in succession, an officer and eventually President
of USWA Local #1123, which he helped organize, at The Timken Co.; a member of
the Steelworkers Organizing Committee, forerunner of the USWA; Director of
District 27 of the Union from 1942-1952, when he was elected International Secretary-Treasurer. In 1965, Mr. Abel was elected International
President of the United Steelworkers of America for the first of three
terms. He served as a Vice President of
the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations
(AFL-CIO) from 1965 until his retirement.
He was still a dues paying member of Golden Lodge Local #1123 at the
time of this death.
Mr. Abel was an advocate of community service by
Steelworkers, urging by word and deed that Union members take an active role in
civic, political and charitable works.
He himself served on many such bodies, including the National Advisory
Commission of Civil Disorders (Kerner Commission), which investigated the
disorders in American cities in 1967 and made recommendations for remedial
actions, and as an alternate delegate to the U.S. Delegation of the United Nations. Mr. Abel was
appointed as a member of the General Advisory Committee on Arms Control and
Disarmament by President Lyndon B. Johnson.
He also was appointed a member of the President's Task Force on Air
Pollution in 1969. He was a member of
the Board of Directors of the Americans for Indian Opportunity. On Oct. 22, 1971, President Nixon appointed
Mr. Abel as one of the five labor members of the the Pay Board under the
Stabilization Program. Mr. Abel, and
the other two AFL-CIO members of the Board, resigned from the Board on March
22, 1972 in protest against the Board's policies. On July 11, 1973, Mr. Abel was named a member of the 10 member
Labor-Management Advisory Committee to the Cost of Living Council under Phase
III of the President's wage-price control program.
Mr. Abel was the recipient of numerous awards, including
the Medal of Freedom presented by President Gerald Ford; honorary doctorates
from St. Vincent College in Latrobe, PA; Alliance College in Cambridge Springs,
PA; and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
He received the first labor award presented by the Martin Luther King,
Jr. Center for Social Change in 1976, which cited him for his
"contributions to the social and economic well-being of American people of all races and origins." He was named "The A. Philip Randolph
Man of the Year" in 1965 by the Negro Trade Union Leadership Council of
Philadelphia and Delaware County for his many years of dedicated service in the
cause of organized labor, civil rights, equality of opportunity and the general
welfare of the people.
In addition, the State of Israel honored Mr. Abel for
advancing the cause of democracy through exemplary leadership for working men
and women, and the Four Freedoms Foundation presented him the Franklin D.
Roosevelt Award for perpetuating the spirit and ideals of the late
President, and for helping keep alive the principles of the Four Freedoms.
Mr. Abel was the first President of the Steelworkers Organization of Active Retirees (SOAR),
which was to activate steelworker retirees similar to the enthusiasm he engendered
into the members of the USWA.
He was a member of Willowbrook United Methodist Church in
Sun City, the 79er's Lions Club, member and founder of the Union Club of Sun
City, the National Council of Senior Citizens, Mayfield Senior Center of
Canton, and was a Life Member of the Magnolia Area Historical Society.
Preceded in death by his first wife of 52 years, the former
Bernice Joseph, who died in 1982.
Survived by his wife, Mrs. Martha L. (Lowdermilk) Abel of the home; two
daughters, Mrs. Ben (Karen) Jones of Fort Washington, PA and Linda Goldberg of
