What's
new in
New York
By BILL HOSOKAWA
The New York Hilton is one of
Manhattan's premiere hotels. I
didn't realize how premiere until
I saw the rates — $235 a night for
an ordinary room. To that, add $19.38
state sales tax, $11.75 city occupa­
tion tax, $2 city room tax. Total:
$268.14 for a night's lodging. If

you make a local
telephone
call
from your room, it
costs a dollar. But
you get a free
copy of USA Today
every morning.
Prices like these
are awfully high on the hog for a
country boy from Denver. But there's
more. The Mirage room of the Hilton
lobby offers continental breakfasts
for only $10.75. You go fetch the
juice and rolls on your own. The ser­
vice consists mostly of a guy who
ambles over to pour only after you
wig-wag. When he brings the check,
it's rubber-stamped with this mes­
sage: "A gratuity of 15% is sug­
gested.”
None of this intimidates the Ja­
panese guests who seem to be all
over the place. There's a coffee
shop below the lobby that, along
with scrambled eggs and pancakes,
offers Japanese breakfasts complete
with miso soup. One morning there
were six tables of Japanese having
breakfasts just like home.
The Hilton is only a few blocks
from Rockefeller Center. I am happy
to report that although Japanese in­
terest have bought a controlling
interest in the complex, the huge
handsome buildings, the concourse
and skating rink and everything
else have not been shipped off to
Tokyo. They are still in place, be­
tween 5th Ave. and the Avenue of the
Americas, still thronged by crowds.
Workmen were installing Christmas
decorations, and a great evergreen
tree was in place waiting to be
trimmed and lighted as though
nothing had changed, and indeed
they haven' t.
But in other respects Manhattan
is indeed changing. For instance,
just off 5th Ave. on the ground floor
of the Olympic Tower Building, in
one of the city's most expensive
areas, is the Shinwa which admits
that it provides elegant Japanese
dining. Ko Shioya, editor-at-large
of the newly redesigned Business
Tokyo magazine, hosted a lunch
there to get us acquainted with
Toshimi Yamane, president of Keizaikai New York. Shinwa's exqui­
sitely appointed dining room down
a flight of stairs, we were told, is
the favorite restaurant of Japanese
movers and shakers in Manhattan.
To soothe their nerves a room-width
waterfall sighs and splashes behind
a glass wall.
Deep in the subway catacombs
one evening, two different young
men noticed our obvious confusion
and asked if they could help us.
Was New York indeed changing?
But we were jolted back to reality
the next day en route to the C. Itoh
Co.'s offices on the 23rd floor of

At the recent news conference,

EDMONTON. — Japanese
forest companies are as
serious about conservation in
other countries as they are at
home, says the country's
consul-general to Canada.
Japan tightly restricts
timber harvesting on its own
land because it fears logging
will cause problems like soil
erosion, said Tetsuo Nono­
gaki.
Nonogaki, who heads the
Japanese consulate in Ed­
monton, said Japan's giant
forest companies also follow
a strict conservation ethic in
other countries as well.
Two Japanese-controlled
companies — Daishowa and
Alberta-Pacific Forest In­
dustrles — have plans to build
pulp mills in northern Alberta.
The two projects, at Peace
River and Athabasca, have
been denounced by citizen
and environmental groups.

Y10.13 million and debts of
Y2.11 million, leaving net sav­

ing to an official survey re­
leased Sept. 22.
The average family hopes
to save 2.4 times more than
it currently has, the survey
found.
The Central Committee on

average savings level repre­
sents a 10.6 percent jump
from last year's survey.

Japanese lawyer laments
death by overwork
TOKYO. — Tokyo lawyer Hiroshi
Kawahito works 10 hours a day deal­
ing with people who work themselves
to death.
Kawahito is head of the Karoshi
Hotline — “karoshi” meaning death
by overwork, usually from heart at­
tack or cerebral bleeding.
He said it's ironic that karoshi
cases are increasing while the Labor
Ministry campaigns to reduce the
amount of time salaried employees
stay at the office.
“I think it is good the Labor Mi­
nistry continues to say that Japa­
nese people should work less. But
the working situation, altough it will
gradually change, has not actually
changed that much so far,” Kawahito

said.
“I think the ministry needs to prac­
tice more of what it says,” he said.
Among his other duties, Kawahito
volunteers to help families who suddenly lose husbands and fathers to
company overtime.
He believes the Labor Ministry
should recognize more families of
karoshi victims as being eligible for
government compensation.
The problem of families not being
able to receive worker's compensa­
tion from either the government or
their company due to deaths caused
by overwork is not new. But the
growing number of karoshi cases
has some people, like Kawahito,
worried.
In slightly more than a year of
operation, the Karoshi Hotline, now
established in 28 prefectures, has
received 1,500 calls from either
salaried workers or families of
workers suffering work-related ill­
nesses.
The first Karoshi Hotline opened
in Osaka in April 1988, receiving
309 calls the first day alone, Kawahito said.
“At first there were hotlines in
seven locations but we sometimes
got calls on the Tokyo hotline from
people as far away as Okinawa, so we
thought we should expand the num­
ber of hotline offices,” he said.
“I'm now working to get the
number of karoshi hotline centers
up to 47 — one for each prefecture.”
Most'calls are from women bet­
ween 40 and 60 years old who have
lost a husband or father to karoshi

A Labor Ministry spokesman said
499 applications were filed with the
government in 1987 for worker's
compensation related to heart at­
tacks or cerebral problems caused
by overwork. Twenty-one applicants
were awarded compensation for se­
rious injuries or death caused by
overwork.
No compensation is awarded un­
less the ministry can prove that the
employee died from overwork, the
spokesman explained.
Many karoshi cases reported to
the hotline concern company man­
agers or factory workers, but some
pertain to drivers and public ser­
vants, said Kawahito.

A recent Fukoku Mutual Life In­
surance Co. survey showed that
almost half of all salaried workers
think they may someday die from
overwork. Two-thirds of section head
or higher level respondents said they
feared working themselves to death.
More than 80 percent of 500 sala­
ried workers surveyed said they go
to work even if they have a cold.
Seventy-six percent described their
work as “hard”.
“Things have to change,” said
Kawahito. “Unless people take ‘work­
ing less’ more seriously, I will be
forced to work more because of the
increasing case load I am handling
these cases.”

TORONTO, ONTARIO

As of January 1,1990
you no longer pay OHIP premiums

And you are still covered
• WHEN WILL PREMIUM PAYMENTS END?
January 1,1990.
Ontario residents are responsible for paying their premiums

until the end of December 1989, for the period through
March 31,1990.

• WILL MY HEALTH CARE COVERAGE
CONTINUE?
Yes. If you were covered you will continue to be covered under
your present OHIP number.
Payment of the final premium will ensure continuous cover­
age to March 31,1990.
After April 1,1990, coverage will automatically remain
valid for all eligible residents of Ontario.
Ontario’s health care system covers all residents of the prov­
ince including students, senior citizens, retired people, people
on social assistance, people who are employed, unemployed or
self-employed.

• WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I DO NOT HAVE
AN OHIP NUMBER?
Contact your local OHIP office.

• WILL THERE BE ENOUGH MONEY TO
MAINTAIN THE QUALITY OF HEALTH CARE
WE ENJOY TODAY?
Yes. Last year nearly fourteen billion dollars, one third of the
entire provincial budget, went towards providing health care
for Ontario residents. The elimination of premiums in no way
affects the amount of money the government has committed to
health care. It simply changes one of the sources of the money.
In the past OHIP premiums only paid for a very small part
of the Ontario health care system. Most of the money for
health care came from general revenues collected through the

tax system,

• WHAT DO I DO WHEN I GO TO THE DOCTOR
OR THE HOSPITAL?
Do what you usually do. Use your OHIP number. It’s still the
same. Present your number to show that you are eligible for

health care services.

• DID WE MISS ANSWERING ONE OF
YOUR QUESTIONS?
If you have further questions here are two ways we can help
you:

• WILL THE CHANGE AFFECT PERSONAL
COVERAGE UNDER COMPANY PLANS SUCH AS
SEMI-PRIVATE COVERAGE OR COMPANY DRUG
PLANS?

1) Call your local OHIP office. You’ll find the number in the
blue pages of your local telephone directory.
or

2) Call the Ontario Ministry of Health toll-free number:
No.

• WHY DID THE ONTARIO GOVERNMENT
ELIMINATE OHIP PREMIUMS?
In the past, many companies paid all or a percentage of OHIP
for their employees. Other companies paid nothing. Many
Ontarians paid OHIP premiums on their own. Unfortunately,
many of the people who had to pay their own premiums were
those who could least afford them. The new Employer Health
Tax and the elimination of OHIP premiums will make the

system fair for everyone.
