Attlee, Bevin And Party Plan To Visit Red China LONDON (Reuters) -- Former Prime Minister Attlee and Aneurin Bevan, chief of the Labor party's left-wing faction, will lead a dele- gation of eight party members on a visit to Communist China this summer. This was announced Wednesday by the party's national executive committee after it decided to ac- cept an invitation extended by the "Chinese People's Institute of For- sign Affairs." e Chinese organization said in its recent invitation the bor pa could send as many as 30 or delegates on a goodwill visit to Peiping. Others going are: Wilfred Burke, party chairman and member of parliament; general-secretary Mor- gan Phillips; Dr. Edith Summers- ill, Harry Earnshaw, Henry Franklin and Sam Watson. All ex- cept Phillips are members of the 28-member executive. The Labor pry at its annual conference at Margate last fall ac- cepted a proposal that its leaders should organize Zooawll) visits to Russia and China. Approaches were subsequently made and the Peiping invitation is a result. VISIT CRITICIZED A government spokesman said Wednesday night the foreign office was not consulted on the Labor Th4 Iroposed visit was attacked by Lord Beaverbrook's London Evening Standard as being bound to cause bitterness both in the United States and in France. "Certainly it seems ill-timed to accept an invitation at a moment when the forces of Vietminh are using Chinese tanks and guns to batter the French in Indo-China," the Standard said editorially. It added that the Labor party's decision would be, interpreted in Peiping as a suggestion that no matter what the outcome of the Geneva Sonfcrence.

Indians Can Drink July 1 TORONTO (CP) -- The Ontario cabinet Thursday passed an order- in-council requesting the federal government to give the province's 3.000 Indians equal drinking rights effective July 1.

The right of Indians to drink was recommended to the last session of the Ontario legislature by the iry. | select committee on Indian affairs.

We regret that the citizens of Oshawa have been deprived of bus service by the decision of Division 1255, Amalagamated Association of Street, Electric Railway and Motor Coach Employees of America to go on strike this morning. As patrons of the Oshawa Railway you should know the circumstances leading up to that de- cision and the Company's position in the negotid- tions that have been carried on with the Association There are two groups of employees involved in the dispute. Their work is separate and distinct, although both are represented by the some As- sociation. They total 73 motor coach employees in the bus service and 18 electric line workers, who form part of the staff servicing our electric line Negotiations, including conciliation proceed- ings under the Industrial Relations and Disputes Investigation Act, resulted in narrowing the field of dispute existing between the Association and the Company to a point where we have informed the Association that we are prepared to accept the decision of a properly appointed ' arbitrator in respect of matters involving the employees engaged solely in the bus operation. We could not, however, agree to arbitration proceedings for the 18 electric line personnel because many other electric line employees, performing similar duties, are included among the 77,000 non-operating employees of the Canadian National Railways whose wage contracts Oshawa Railay Company The Facts behind the Bus Strike have been under discussion with other unions and with whom no agreement has yet been reached. Pending such agreement, it would be impractical to deal separately with this Oshawa group of only 18 employees. We have stated, however, that, as in the past, these Oshawa electric line employees will receive the samé treatment as other electric line employees in the large main group. . .. Our Oshawa bus operators are already among the highest paid in Canada. Our bus operations in this city last year resulted in a loss of $125,000. Notwithstanding the unsatisfactory operating ex- perience and in an effort to avoid an interruption to 'an 'essential transportation service, we were willing to go to arbitration with respect to the bus employees. We are still willing to do so. Division 1255 of the Amalgamated Associa- tion of Street, Electric Railway and Motor Coach Employees of America is not striking for higher wages or changes in hours or working conditions for the bus operatars. The Company has already agreed to arbitrate these differences. It is striking to include in the arbitration proceedings a small group of 18 men who have nothing to do with your bus service, who are under the jurisdiction of the operating department of the Canadian National Railways, whose wages and working con- ditions have always been governed by those of other comparable employees and who have been promised identical treatment to that given electric railway employees performing similar work en the Canadian National Railways. ther notice.
