This was disclosed by Walter P. Reuther, UAWA international president, in an interview with The Oshawa Times today. Regarding possible dissension between some members of Local 222 UAW (CLC) and the Inter- national, he said, "1 attempted to clarify some regions, where there may have been misunder- standing, in my talks with the membership." PART OF PROGRAM Mr. Reuther, in Oshawa for the first time since 1951, said his visit had no special purpose other than as part of 2a program through which he makes periodic trips to all UAW areas "These trips are made largely to discuss problems and policies of the locals concerned," he said. He addressed wo largely- attended closed meetings of Local 222, UAW (CLC) Friday at 8.00 pm. and Saturday at 2.30 am. in the UAW Hall. Today he will address the Canadian Council of the UAW before pro- dresses to two crowded meet- ings of Local 222 at the UAW Hall Friday night and this morning.

With the loss of a weekly pay- roll amounting to about $180,000, businesses are preparing for a sharp cut in the city's purchasing power. COULD AFFECT OTHERS They say the strike could re- sult in layoffs at other plants in Sarnia's Chemical Row. Already 150 men employed by sub-con- tractors of Polymer have been laid off. Imperial Oil Limited has closed a $28,000,000 plant which produced basic materials for Polymer and the employees have been shifted to other work The Sun Oil Company Ltd., and Canada Oil Companies Ltd., re- CITY EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBERS POLICE RA 53-1133 FIRE DEPT.
