(CP)The On- tario Provincial Federation of La- , bor (AFL-TLC), ended its seventh ahnual convention Sunday amidst threats of withdrawal by the Civic Workers Union unless there is a "showdown' 'on the question of pro- tection from "union raiders.' ' The three-day convention, calm and businesslike until the storm of protests broke, earlier turned a cold shoulder on its rival unionists. A motion to "offer the hand of friendship' to the rival congress of Industrial Organizations and the Canadian Congress of Lahor was referred back to the resblutions committee which earlier recom- mended the resolution be defeated. Civic Workers Union representa- tives demanded a "satisfactory solution' to their problem and sug- gested withdrawal from the TLC unless they get "protection from raiding by other unigns who con- sider certain civic workers their rightful field for organization." The federation executive ended the debate with a recommendation that the executive meet with al unions concerned and find "'a solu- tion satisfactory to all." No date for the meeting was set. Recenily, five Windsor civic em- ployées were suspended from local 82, Civic Workers Union, after they took out union cards with the National Tinian of Public Service ~mployees- (CCL). Later the local 3 / charged the CCL affiliate with '"'union raiding." Earlier the 400 delegates re- elected President A. F. MacArthur of Toronto and his three vice- presidents, William Boothroyd, Toc- onto, A, W. Godfrey, Fort William and M. Dodds, Windsor, John Handcock of Hamilton was elected secretary-treasurer. Mr. Boothroyd said the federa- tion "may not be such a happy family after all." he added: "We're certainly not going to get anywhere running away from the problem (of union raiding) and we should wake up to that fact. We should stand four-square for clean- ing our own house and never mind worrying about raiding by CIO unions or any other." The convention passed a resolu- tion seeking legislation to allow civic employees the right to sit as elected members of municipal councils. * By THE CANADIAN PRESS An eccentric 104-year-old mil- lionaire who died in the squalor of his gas-filled Toronto home, was one of 13 persons to die violently in Eastern Canada during the week-end.

IKE'S MEN Ahead WASHINGTON (AP) -- Joyous Republicans started a final round of pre-inaugural celebration today in anticipation of the solemn moment when Dwight D. Eisen« in, as Sath nited States. From every section of the country they came--top dignitaries of the incoming administration, great names of business and in- dustry, celebrities of Hollywood and Broadway, and cheerful throngs of plain Americans anxious to see Tuesday's historic event. Eisenhower came in by special train from New York Sunday night. Persons who had gathered in front of Union station applauded as a closed car bearing the President- elect, his wife and close relatives sped past on its way to the Statler Hotel. There in the presidential suite Eisenhower planned to remain un- til the hour of departure for the private service in National Presby- je 8 ui Make Merry Of Time terian Church which will open the inaugurational program. Noon Tuesday will bring the cli- max of the day Republicans have dreamed of through 20 years in the political wilderness.

A three-hour, 10-mile-long parade will follow, Officials estimated a crowd of 500,000 will swell Wash- ington's population.

Many of these dignitaries got together for the first time Sunday, at a reception for state governors and other eminent guests. | WHILE HARRY Gets Ready To Punch Out WASHINGTON (AP) -- A gray, 68-year-old Missourian, radiating cheer and voicing deep satisfaction with his stewardship, today puts in his last full day at the world's biggest job. At noon Tuesday he will become private citizen Harry S. Truman. Leaving the White House, he will see Dwight D. Eisenhower sworn in to succeed him as President of the United States. Then he will head back to Missouri. Truman will be out of a job for the first time in more years than he can remember, and ready to try his hand at loafing after work- ing about 17 hours a day for nearly eight years. He gives the appear- ance of being in excellent health. Truman will not loaf for long, however. He has already made plans to open up a private office in Kansas City, near his home at Independence, Mo., to serve as headquarters for his future under- takings, whatever they may be. Truman will get his first taste of his new freedom when he boards the White House private car -- by courtesy of Eisenhower -- at Wash- ington's Union station. There secret service protection comes to an end. And for the first time in nearly eight years, anyone who wants to can go down to Union station and right onto the platform to see Seeks Shelter, Dies In Rail Car ENGLEHART (CP) -- The body cf a Peterborough man was found during the weekend in an Ontario Northland Railway coach in tem- poraly storage in the milway yards ere.

UAW LEADER BLASTS WILSON DEFENGE JOB Hits At GM Pay While In Office In a swift and trenchant review of the labor situation in the United States and Canada and the impact of the recent American election, Emil Mazey, secretary-treasurer of the UAW-CIO, Saturday night forecast the next major demand of labor would be a guaranteed annual wage, declared the unions had won increased pay and purchasing power through coliective bargaining, and scored the prospective appointment of Charles E. Wilson, former General Motors president, as segretary of defence in the U.S. Mr. Mazey, who reached his po- ® sition as second-in-command in the powerful international union by unionism was speaking to more than 300 delegates to the third an- nual UAW-CIO Educational Con- ference at a banquet in the UAW Hall on Bond Street East, Osha- wa. Bringing greetings from Walter Reuther, president of the United Auto Workers of America, and newly-elected president of the Con- gress of Industrial Organizations, Mr. Mazey paid warm tribute to the late Philip Murray, architect and longtime president of CIO. The labor organization would not .be weakened by the change in its ex- ecutive, he said, but would con- tinue under the strong, agressive leadership of Walter Reuther. The union leader gave a brief resume of the political situation as he saw it in the USA. '""We have just come through a difficult election," he declared. 'The general elected as president is not equipped to lead a demo- cratic nation. It is a pro-business administration from top to bot- Mr. Mazey questioned the pro- priety of the proposed appointment of GM president Charles BE. Wil- son as Secretary of Defence in the Eisenhower cabinet, when he would continue to draw bonuses of $680,000 a year, an annual pension of $40,000 and owned more than $2,000,000 worth of shares in the world-girdling automebile corpora tion. When Mr. Wilson was asked by an armed services committeeman whether he could in fairness ad- minister the large defence con tracts which GM is engaged. in, he was reputed to have answered, according to Mr. Mazey: "What's good for GM is good for the na- on," The speaker cited what he term- ed "a few bright spots in the re. cent election." There was the fact that 67 per cent of the voters in Wayne County, a Detroit suburb, voted for the Democratic nominee, due to union recommendations, UAW LEADER BLASTS (Continued on Page 2) Labor Leader Hails City Union Progress After 15 years of organization in Canada, the UAW-CIO was still in the vanguard in labor education, in maintaining the rights of collec- tive bargaining and in establishing fair practises in industry-laoor re- lationship, Tom McLean, assisi- ant regional director, told delegates to the third annual UAW: Leader- Ship Conventional here on Satur- ay. * It was up to labor to lead the crusade to stop the persecution of minorities in this country, declar- ed Mr. MacLean, who spoke of the battle that had been fought to bring the CIO into this country. He congratulated the convention committee for bringing practically the entire leadership of Region 7, UAW-CIO to Oshawa to help with the concentrated educational pro- gram designed to help the union rank-and-file as well as the officers of the labor organization.

Thomas, MLA and Mayor Jack Naylor, both members of Local 222, UAW-CIO. It was looking not too far ahead to en- vision a labor man as premier of this country, he prophesied. The labor leader said much had been accomplished in the educa~ tional and recreational fields of the UAW program. Too much money couldn't be spent in such causes, he declared, if they resulted in a bet ter fraternal spirit and a strong, militant trade union. "What you have learned here in these two days.can be of immense value to union progress," said Mr. MacLean in conclusion. "Take it all back to your locals and you will achieve and accomplish more than ever.
