I By JOE LAPOINTE Free Press Sports Writer The Tigers traded Steve Kemp to the Chicago White Sox Friday for Chet Lemon in the Detroit baseball club's biggest deal since its trade of Ron LeFlore to Montreal two years ago.

Kemp, considered one of Detroit's most valuable players, could become a free agent after next season. A left-handed hitting left fielder with a .284 career average, Kemp has won two salary arbitration cases with the Tigers the last one for $600,000 for the 1981 season. Currently without a contract, he will be eligible for arbitration again in the spring if he is not signed by Chicago. it 2i J- Lane Kirkland Lane Kirkland is the president of the AFL-CIO.

HE REPORTEDLY turned down a Tiger offer of $750,000 for next year, a figure denied by both Kemp and his agent, Dick Moss. "I'd definitely say money was the problem," Kemp said from his California home Friday. The whole thing stemmed from money. I think they (the Tigers) were doing what was best for their team." Lemon, a right-handed hitting center fielder with a .288 career average, also will be eligible for free agency after next season.

The other change is that occasionally, when Reagan is doing his chores or riding, a Secret Service man's walkie-talkie crackles with a message that there is an important telephone call back at the house. The Reagans have been out West since Monday, spending a Thanksgiving week at Rancho del Cielo, Spanish for Ranch in the Sky. The ranch is high in the California chaparral, which is the name given to the mountainous stretches of dried grass, scrub brush and occasional stands of live oaks throughout the middle part of the state.

When dawn breaks in the mountains here, the embers are barely smoldering in the two fireplaces in Ronald Reagan's five-room, 100-year-old adobe ranch house. At this time of year, the first order of the day for the president of the United States is not to read his national security briefing or to meet with his top aides. It is to get the fires burning again, because his house is cold.

"You'd be surprised, even in California we're up at 2,400 feet how many days there can be where you have to keep the fireplaces going all day," Reagan said in an interview. "And a cord of wood goes awfully fast when you do that." FOR REAGAN and his wife, Nancy, the routine of holidays here has not changed much in the last year, except that each tain we weren't going to be able to sign Steve, so we just wanted to get a player, and it See KEMP, Page 11A witnesses is charged From AP and UPI Soundoff asks how you feel about trade.

It's not easy for a person in my generation. But I am aware that a revolution is going on, and however limited my understanding and perception of It is, it seems clear to me that it offers some opportunities that have heretofore not existed. It's clear to me that for some years probably more so in the future this box (television) is going to dominate American life; it's where people get their Information, or what they think is information; that's, where they form their Impressions We've been shut out of that medium. Are the great victories of your movement behind you? Sometimes you see these numbers where 60 percent of Americans work, for example, for companies with less than 50 people. How do you organize that kind of thing? A We've been in a phase where the only thing growing, the only growing source of employment, is public state and local and this broad thing called "services." That, coupled with what can only be described as a revolution in the makeup of the work force, the entry of married women into the work force the relative decline of blue-collar employment and the rise of white-collar employment, all areas that have not been traditional trade union environment where you don't join as a matter of course to go into that trade, as you would if you went to sea or if you went into a steel mill.

What other areas of employment have grown? A Much of the new growth has been in part-time employment And part-time employes are inherently difficult not impossible to organize. A growth 1 industry in production has been the production of hamburgers and milkshakes the fast-food chains. I saw a figure somewhere that McDonald's has more employes than United States Steel. And all of those are high-turnover, minimum-wage Jobs. Strung out along I-95, 1-85, 1-40.

Let's assume they were a worthy target for organizing; I wish someone would kindly tell me how. What about the Idea of worker control? A I must say it has limitations. If, by that, is meant representation on boards of directors I Just don't believe that boards of directors and corporations are all that significant. I think most companies are management-controlled. The woods are full of professional board-of-directors sitters, usually people who retire and then pad out their Income by serving on this board, that board or the other board, for a stipend and Infrequent work.
