(CP)-- Settlers who cut lumber to aug- ment their income and the mer-| said. chants who supply them both appear to be caught in a squeeze as company and union remain adamant im a newsprint industry contract dispute. Spruce Falls Power and Paper Company, a major em- ployer in this lumbering com- munity in northern Ontario, says it will not negotiate until 1,000 striking members of the Lumber and Sawmill Workers Union (CLC) return to work, And Joseph Laforce, president of Local 2995, says the men will not return until a new contract is signed to replace one that ex- pired last Aug. 31. The union also wamts a similar contract for another 400 strikers of a Spruce Falls subsidiary in Long- lac, Ont., Kimberley-Clark Can- ada Limited. The union seeks a two-year contract providing for a 10-per- cent general wage increase, plus a four-per-cent increase in piece work rates. The company Says because of poor market conditions it cannot afford changes in the old contract which it wants to renew for one year, There have been frequent re- ports of trouble. Union mem- bers patrol neighboring roads on a 24-hour basis to prevent independent loggers and truck- ers from delivering pulpwood to the spruce falls plant. Loggers have complained that their] trucks were stopped and- the load dumped at the roadside. 'FACE STARVATION' Mayor Norman §. Grant, him- self, a long-time employee of Spruce Falls, said Wednesday 1,000 settlers face starvation be- cause of the strike. "These settlers are gétting so 1, they face starvation for the rest of the year, Mayor Grant Many of the settlers' families use their credit from September until their first pulpwood pay- ments come in January. The mayor has called for an immediate government imvesti- gation of the situation. Rosaire Bouchard, an inde- pendent cutter and trucker from Moonbeam, said Wednes- day about 80 strikers flagged down his truck a week ago, dragged him from the cab and dumped his nine cords of wood while four provincial policemen watched. "They told me if I kept haul- ing, neither I nor the truck P would be fit to work for the rest of the year," Bouchard said. And Fernand Lallier, 32, a cutter who 'didn't want to strike because I didn't want to cause trouble," said the words "sucker" and "scab" were painted across his home during the night.

In 1957, when the Conserva. tives had a minority govern- ment as they now do, 33 days were spent discussing the spend- ing program before Parliament was dissolved for the 1958 gen- eral election with approval of the program still uncompleted.

(CP)--West- ern Canada grain farmers have won support from the Canadian Federation of Agriculture for a proposed study which may lead to a contributory self-help fund to generate increased export sales of wheat.

Resolution sponsors made it clear Wednesday, however, that such a fund would be comple- mentary to, and not a substitute on developing new and larger Britain and Europe rises fur- ther, and if the external tariff level is kept at a reasonably low level, in the long run you (Canadian agriculture) may well gain more than you will lose."
