Work The entire Goodyear plant aI Bowmanviill was sulent and de- serted shortly after 2 p.m., Tues- day, May 27, 1947, when, follow- ing the walkouî of men employ- ed i the machinist and engineer- ing deparîment, other employees on shift and coming on shift, after bearing from shop stewards who conferred with the bargaining commiltee, walked out in sympa- thY. They were given off -work slips by the management which were quite in line wiub the pres- eni existing agreement. The whole stony of the grievance of machin- ists and engineers has flot yet been leanned by the local press. Wlldcat Strike According to the international constitution of the Rubber Work- ers' Union, the walkout was con- strued as no more than an unau- thorized, sponlaneous, wildcat strike. For any overall strike must be sanctioned by a regula- tion strike vote and none was laken in this instance. Immed- iately the situation developed the President of local union 189, Non- man Allison, gaI in touch with International Director Joe Mac- kenzie and laid the whole case before him. Mass Meeting The outcome was the calling of a mass meeting of ail members of the union in the Town Hall at 7 p.m. the same day. Mr. Macken- zie at once bastened to Bowman- ville and with Presider.t Allison in the chair, met the assembled employees and waited until ail grievances and questions had been fully aired. Mr. Allison -an- swered ail questions and com- plaints in a fair and reasonable mannen before cailing on Mr. Mackenzie ta state the position so far as the constitution was con- cenned. After hearing bis full statement there was almost com- piete unanimity to nelurn ta work Durham Entries Win Honors, Annual Drookliu Spring Fait Union Position Mr. Mackenzie made no bon« about it. He declared that the walkout was illegai and to remain out without officiai procedure or sanction, nu employee could quai. ify for unemploymeni insurance and could expeci nu officiai sup- port from the international union. He said that thinÉs of this kihd tended to split unity after great pains had been taken to build up a United front. He stated fiatly that the only way a stnike would be necognized was ta return imêq mediately to work, then present grievances, then lake a legilimate strike vote and if the majority wvas in favor the international body would be in position to give its sanction. Board Consulted Befone hastening 10 Bowman- ville Mr. Mackenzie conferred with the official Conciliation Board in Totonto and received assurance that its officiais would be prepared to negoliate at oncle with management and the uni on in hearing the issues in'dispute. Il is justI possible that this will be effected in case this local grie- vance cannat be camposed at the plant. It is understood that Mr. Mackenzie returned to Toronto the saine evening and wili report 10 the Conciliation Board.
