Plants Idle Next Sunday Toronto, Dec. 9--(CP)--Ontario's factories will be quiet this Sunday for the first time in over a month, following the announcement Wed- nesday by Hydro Commission chair- man Robert Saunders that industry need' no longer work on Sunday to save power. Recent rains "in the right places" and continued mild weather have brought increased output from gen- erating plants in both Ontario and Quebec, said Mr. Saunders in a speech at Kitchener. The hydro chairman said it was also likely that no increase in power restrictions would be made before the end of January, provided pres- ent favorable conditions continue. His announcement ended one part of the program of staggered work- ing hours adopted by industry at the request of the commission for better utilization of nighttime and week-end power from hydro gener- ators at Queenston and Beaukarnois and steam generators in the Buffa- lo, N.Y., area. Mr. Saunders warned that it was "absolutely necessary" to .continue the present schedule of working six days and six nights "if the present rate of production is to be main- tained." nts in nearly all industrial to and cities in. the province have operated for more than a month on night-work and week-end shifts to divert power consumption from peak consumption periods be- tween Monday and Friday. : The new arrangement will mean that Sunday 'will return to its nor- mal status, instead of being includ- ed in the working schedules of fac- tories, he said. Main opposition to the week-end shift work had come from labor leaders, who said that employees were being asked to work on week- ends without the premium pay as called for in their union contracts. Power quotas in Ontario comrmun- ities have been increased 13 per cent within the past week because of the improved power situation. Mr, Saunders warned that res- trictions must be continued on store and outdoor, lighting, and 'that vol- untary savings by householders must not 'stop.
