Authorized as Second Class Mail, * Post Office Department, Ottawa. AN IINDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER Why We Tried to Hait Local Strike Action The fir.st major strike in the history of Bowmanville has now been in progress for four days with no0 indication of any immed- iate settiement. To date, it is a quiet, orderly, good natured affair, featured by a picket line around the plant, by ait unusual number of idie men on the streets, by the silence of the Goodyear whistle ai-d machinery. We have been both criticized and praised because we have endeavoured to discourage strike action and have îîot been over enthus- iastie about the 7 point prograin. We shall endeavour to explain why our attitude wvas adopted. Froun conversations with the local ern- ployees, both before and after the prograin was launched, w~e concluded that the mai- ority of the workers were making higher ivages than most employees ini the town and were quite satisfied. Many are stili satisfied whÂle others have become disgrunt- led siîîce outside pressure was broughit to bear on their union leaders and subsequently on the workers to follow througli on a plait which ivas evolved by the international union in the United States. We kniew that when the local 189 înem- bers voted last January to back the ini- ternational ini this new plan ,.that most of those who voted feit they were merely giving backing to their local repréesenitative who was about to leave for a union meeting in Ulnited States. We believed that they feit a strike would îîever materialize, that the plan would either be dropped or the companies would fall over themselves ini their hurry to sigut agreements. We were aware that many members of the union were not present to vote on the subject. We knew that unany of the employees wvere building.. houses, buying cars and other commodities on time payxnents, that many, for the first tinte in ttheir lives, had built up a banik account for emergencies and that over 200 ex-serviceinen had returned to the Goodyear plant and were more than satisfied with conditions and treatinent shown themt by the company. A strike of any long dura- tion would change ail that, would sapi their savxîîgs, would niake the servieenîen won- dler if the batties t.hey lad foughit and the sac rifices thîcv made w'ere really worthwhile. Knowiug tiiese things we watchîed the grow ing elidelnic of strike.s throughiout Canada andi United States anîd studied the effect on the workers and thieeconîmunities. litnîost cases the workers r'ained about hall of their objectives but took so long doing it that tlle loss they -,tffered took ail the joy and profit ont of the smiaill gains nmade. Wlhen the rubber ndustrN iegotiations started, we coutd see no future of imîniiediate union suecess. The inaj or coinplanies l)aitl littie or nîo attentioni to thie negrotiators. it îva-s one sided negotiationi, except for a few conipanies w~ho tua(le token offers.

Ap- pareutly, the coipaîics werc uîot to be talked into tliiis iîexv plan as easilY as nait of the -workers aud lo(al union hieads liad i)eell led to l.eievce. Ev-entually, a strike hiad to cone or the unionis woiild Ihavc beca ruined completely. This wek1 it came. We hiesitate to prediet thiat this wvi11 be a prolonged strike although there are nîany indications that it il be. Frequently, when a -strike is called there has been at. ieast sorne progress toward settlýiiieit be- fore the last resort is used. lit this case This wvas the reasoning which was back ,of our recent editorials. O'ur fondest hope, is that we were wrong and that the compan- îes and the unions will corne to rapid agree- ment for the mutual b'enefit of ail. Only timae will tell ivho la correct. In the mean- Member Audit Bureau of Circulations Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association statedi thiat a new forui of govemument se- curities, Canada Savingys Bonds, would be available this fall for individual Canadians to continue personal savings as they did duriîîg wartinîe. Facilities will be made for l)ayroll deductions as ini the case of wartiîne issues but everything will be completely voluntary. The National War Finance Committee ended after the 9th Victory Loan and no such sales organization will be used for the GýSB's. The main idea is to promote personal thrift. It was pointed out by the Minister that a majority of citizens save most eadily through a govertnment investment pro- gramme of some kind, for in the wamtime savingys plans, individual savings attained record heights. To continue a plan of this nature is one of the best means-of ensuing a higli level of national security and stabil- ity. Sales of the new issue are xîot expected to cover the govemuments total bormowing requirements. Excess will be met by pub- lic offeiugs of usual types at appropriate times. The CSB 's will be issued in units of $50, $100, $500, a 'nd $1,000 purchased fmom local banks and financial institutions and regristered in the name of the owner. Few announcexuents have been made by the government~ that will meet with greater publie approval. TT-M. t-(AM73A flTAiq T 1A'I'SA 7.RO WMANVII.LE.

As Chair- man of the Advertisinoe of the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association for a num- ber of years it became part of our business, indeed almost second nature, to detect the would-be grabbers of free space and from time to tinie to warn our members against them. - Just last year certain organizations înot far renioved froni certain pohitical parties started a regular space-grabbing conspiracy. A lot of "Letters to the Editor ' ' ere coop- emed up at a central point -- form letters on different aspects of a party program -- theti the faithful were invited to write in for copies of thiese lefters which could be signed locally and given the appearanice of bona fide views of local people. Honest people buy their space and tell thieir story honestly. As customners of niews- l)apers they are appreciated and frienidly. There are others, however, who neyer buy any space and who do iîot tell their story honestly but seek to filch the publisher's costly goo0d white niewsprint "for free" to work up a propaganda by subterfuge. We ean smell a space thief a mile. awvay. For instance, quite recently there appeared an article -- an editomial if you please -- i the Herald-Tribune of Grand Prairie, Alta., which started off this way: "We are in me- ceipt of a copy of a .letter recently sent to the Hon. J. L. llsley and to ail niembers of Parliament. t vas written by a student of economics and says in part:" - and there follows a coluinn or s0 of monetary refomni l)uIk, followed in tîxmn by wrhat purports to be the newspaper editors owni editorial com- ment. We found it interesting. It aroused our suspicions, anîd we were îîot surprised when we found the saine editorial in exactly the samne words, and expressingo exactly the samne sentiments, and tnsinig exactly the saine quotations iii the Glace Bay, N.S., Gazette. Iii betweeu there two geographical extrem- ities the saine exact wordinio appeared -- also as editorials -- iii the niewspapers at Dunuii- ville, Ont., and at Perth, Ont. Now when one sees the saine words, quot- in g the saîie ationymnous aiuthority, ini a Humber of widely separated newspapers at one tixue, ail sniping from anîbusli at the saine goveruiment poli.ey iii monetary mat- ters, one cannot but suspect that the space tlîieves are at it again. The particular art- icle to which we refer got extremely wide circulation. Just who circulated it we do not pretend to know, but whoever did met with a signal defeat from an alert weekly press. The newspapers that published it could bc counted on the fingers of one band. 'The others did ilot faîl for it - but this is written iin case they are temipted. As for the "studenit of econiomies" who is said in the article to have written the letter to Mr. llsley, we have looked far enougli into the inatter to be reasoniably sure that the "stiden-t" is really a stock- l)roker. Just why he should not be honiestly described as a stockbroker instead of as a "studenit of econiomies" iu this widely dis- senlna ted inatter we do't kniow.
