                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. JERRY F. COSTELLO

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, July 28, 1997

  Mr. COSTELLO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Sherwood 
Kerker's retirement from the St. Louis/Southern Illinois Labor Tribune.
  The editor of the Labor Tribune has received several awards from the 
International Labor Communications Association for journalistic 
excellence, and is acknowledged for 40 years of loyalty in serving the 
members and families of the trade union movement throughout the Greater 
St. Louis/Southern Illinois Region.
  Publisher Edward M. Finkelstein and the staff of the Labor Tribune 
will honor Sherwood Kerker at a ``We Love You Sherwood'' retirement 
luncheon to be held in St. Louis, MO, on August 28, 1997. I ask my 
colleagues to join me in commending Sherwood Kerker's unique 
contributions to labor journalism.
