Association of SIU: The Change From One To Many A Difficult Task to replace OTTAWA (CP)--"When a un- ion'. .. has operated under one- man control for many years it is difficult to discover individ- uals capable of taking over or willing to take over." With those words the federal maritime union trustees re- ported Tuesday on their diffi- culties in cleaning up the lead- ership of the Seafarers' Inter- national Union of Canada (Ind.) The SIU elections last fall, one year after that union and four others were slapped under a federal trusteeship, returned to office the executives of the notoridus Hal Banks era. Banks himself was fired fror_ the pres- idency by the trustees last March and has since fled to the U.S. to escape a prison 'sen- tence. New boss of the union gave him a solid majority. STRESS PROBLEMS The first full annua! report of who were ap- pointed by Parliament in Octo- ber of 1963 to clean up the SIU, stressed the problems they have the trustees, encountered in searching for new and capable leadership within the union. It was tabled in the Commons without comment by Labor Min- ister MacEachen. A minority report by Charles Millard, who has had some sharp differences recently with his two fellow trustees, will be tabled later this week, "So far as the trustees have been able to determine, the members of the SIU do not ap- prove of trusteeship," the ma- jorliy report by Mr. Justice Vic- tor Dryer of Vancouver and Judge Rene Lippe of Montrealjand that Banks was a greedy admitted. labor tyrant who ran the SIU Mr. Justice Dryer resigned as|as a virtual dictatorship, his op- 15 and Judgelponents quelled by fear. chairman Dec. is Leonard (Red) McLaughlin, chief lieutenant of Banks, who took over in December after the earefully - supervised election New York City represents seven metropolitan dailies.

A memo included in the report said "'that would represent the kiss of death so far as the mem- bership was concerned." Also appended was a letter from Mr. Justice Dryer to Mr. MacEachen, dated last Sept. 8, that said the trustees '"'do not know if the persons running in opposition to the present incum- bents are any better or any worse than those they seek to displace... ." But in the same letter the judge also cautioned that the election should not be consid- ered crucial. "A union, like a nation, does not learn democ- racy overnight or in one elec- tion." The lack of democracy in the SIU was spelled out in detail two years ago by Mr. Justice T. G. Norris of Vancouver after his public inquiry into Great Lakes labor violence. He said the violence came from Banks They described a long search within the ranks of SIU mem- bers for suitable persons to re- place the Banks-linked execu- tive.

In a rare show of agreement, spokesmen for Ontario's French - speaking minority of 425,000 and 18 English-speaking professors at Carleton Univer- sity, Ottawa, told the royal com- mission on bilingualism and bi- culturalism essentialiy the same thing in separate oriefs. | Constitution public high schools concentrated.

"I think they understand the understand theirs," Brown said. Both sides agreed in princi- ple that any automation pact reached would call for job re- duction by attrition only--the norma] processes of death, re- tirement, resignation and. dis- charge for cause. But there the accord ended. One complication is 5,500 un- jon members who don't even work for the seven papers-- The New York Times, The Daily News, The New York Herald Tribune, The New York Journal - American, The New York World Telegram and Sun, The Long Island Press and The Long Island Star-Journal. These printers are members of Local 6's books and job branch, who work at the com- mercial printing shops and typesetting firms here. Powers said most new mem- bers of the 2,700-man newspaper printing force come from this branch and he wanted any at- trition agreement to protect this job flow. But each member publisher expressed willingness printers now employed in his plan, and then only if the new contract permits adoption of new automation equipment. "We're not trying to hang onto a fixed number of jobs,"' Powers said. 'We accept the barrier to job opportunity that attrition means for us. We accept the reduction in newspaper jobs. But we want compensation for this.' The union asked publishers to pay five per cent of the gross wages paid to newspaper print- ers until the union can restore balance in the flow of jobs. This sum was estimated at $1,- 500,000 a year and would be used to retrain printers, spur early retirements, and off-set the losses to pension funds sup- ported by per-capita payments. "Attrition will' cut down in- come into these funds right at the time we'll need them most to pay retirement benefits," Powers said. Gaherin explored this matter in behalf of the publishers, but said he made no offer concern- ing it, although he did not rule out the possibility of such a| payment. Powers said he also wanted the agreement to set the pattern for future developments in au- tomation, explaining: "Right now we're . talking mainly about computers, but that's only the beginning. Next we might see ultra-high speed photo-typesetters and machines to assemble columns of type. Eventually papers may be able to program and produce an en- tire page of type automati- cally." His reference to computers concerned a development free- ing printers from the necessity to "justify" type--that is, make lines of type come out flush with the column edge. With the development, an op- erator can punch copy into a tape. without regard to hyphe- nation and space of words and letters, This tape is fed into a computer which produces a jus- tified tape, which when fed into automatic printing machines produces the lines of type. One of the key issues is so- called "outside tape," such as used by the wire services for high-speed transmission of stock market lists, sports boxscores and other matter. A December, 1962, agreement provided that New York City newspapers could use outside tape only for setting New York and American stock exchange quotations, In return, the pub- lishers agreed to pay the union a sum which was to be deter- only to guarantee the jobs of|---- 2 Charged In $20,000 Smash Spree TORONTO (CP) -- Two boys are accused of going on a wild, destructive spree, causing what police estimated to be $20,000 damage to an elementary school in suburban Etobicoke. Richard Thompson, 16, of Tor- onto, and a 15-year-old juvenile have been arrested and charged with breaking and en- tering and malicious damage in the incident. They also face similar charges in five other township school break-ins. The school board was forced to cancel classes Tuesday as a result of the damage, but they were expected to resume to- day. Douglas Emonds, business administrator for the Etobicoke school board, said it wag the worst case of. vandalism he has ever seen in township schools. Heaviest damage occurred in the library and a room con- taining teacher - training pub- lications, Mr. Emond said it would take at least a year to re-catalogue the library which serves all teachers in the township sys- tem. THE DAY IN OTTAWA By THE CANADIAN PRESS TUESDAY, March 2, 1965 The Commons continued study of the Canada Pension Plan after tabling of two big reports and a wrangle over steel prices. The first was the white pa- per report on rules for amend- ing Canada's constitution with- out going through the British Parliament. The formula for changing the British North America Act was agreed on last year by the government and the provinces. Then came the report of the federal maritime union trus- tees outlining difficulty in cleaning up after Hal Banks. It noted that elections in the Seafarers' International Union last fall returned many of the deposed president Banks' men to office. The report noted the labor strife on the Great Lakes dur- ing 1963 did not recur in 1964. New Democrat Leader Douglas sought unsuccessfully to have the House adjourn regular business and debate proposed steel price in- creases. Speaker Alan _Macnaughton ruled the matter did not meet the test of urgency under House rules, Debate on the Pension Plan continued on the matter of us- ing social security numbers as identification for contribu-. tors. Raymond Langlois . (SC-- Megantic) sought assurance lumbermen living in Canada but working in the U.S. would be covered. Health Minister Judy La- Marsh said there would be negotiations with the U.S. on this point. : Undertakers Have Troubles QUEBEC (CP)--The Funeral Directors' Association of Can- ada was told Tuesday mem- bers are running into "difficul- ties" with insurance companies, executors, trusi companies, notaries, lawyers, accountants, mined in joint study. bank managers, "and others." veehe Oe eb yh ety ep ge pepo" By STEWART MacLEOD OTTAWA .(CP)--By skirting the contentious points, the Com- mons plodded toward the final clauses of the bulky Canada Pension Plan legislation Tues- day, but the heaviest weather still lay ahead. Many of the major clauses of the bill--those that will attract opposition amendments -- have been set aside until the less argumentative of the 125 clauses have gone through the mill, By Tuesday night, the Com- mons had reached Clause 112. But even the innocent clauses were bogging down the chamber in a mass of detailed studies. All told, nearly three hours were devoted to discussions on the method of numbering par- ticipants in the plan. The ques- tion of extending coverave to Canadian lumbermen who work across the border in the' U.S. also took up a generous slice of time. Health Minister Judy La- Marsh said federal administra- tors of the plan would be over- worked with the job of getting the complex plan in full oper- ation. They would have to write regulations and an advertising program, notify all employers and the self - employed; inte- grate the plan with private schemes, advise and assist the provinces and countless other chores. The plan was primarily for the 6,500,000 employed per- sons in Canada. After this, attempts would be made to cover the across-the- border workers "as quickly as we can." WILL BE ACCOUNTING Revenue Minister Benson, helping Miss LaMarsh pilot the legislation through the Com- mons, assured Gerald W. Bald- win (PC -- Peace Riy«r} that there would be an adequate accounting of the pension plan fund available to Parliament. The contributions would be subject to the internal audit of the revenue department and the audit of the auditor - gen- eral. Outgoing benefits would be audited by the health depart- ment and the controller of the treasury. : "I think the actual handling of the cash will be subject to a good deal of sound audit." The Commons would have an opportunity for a full examin- ation during consideration of annual estimates. Harold Winch (NDP -- Van- couver East) thought '"some- thing is definitely haywire" when the federal government will not retain any of the plan's funds for national planning. He wanted to know whether there had been a "sell-out to the provinces" when the central government was not keeping any of the money. Mr. Benson said the funds are being offered to the prov- inces as loans since the prim- ary purpose of the plan is to provide benefits to Canadians, not to accumulate funds for the federal government, WON'T REPLACE FUND Walter Dinsdale (PC -- Bran- don Souris) asked whether the fund would replace the pro- posed Canada Development Corporation and its fund. THE OSHAWA TIMES,. Wednesday, March 3, 1965 | Ottawa Plods On To Pension Plan No, said Mr, Benson. The Conservative member said it is obvious that the pen- sion plan's fund will interfere with the proposed development scheme and "'it's unfortunate the government didn't give more thought to this." Most of the discussion in- volved explanations of the highly - detailed clauses which together form the complex plan that's designed to. provide Ca- nadians with a wage - related retirement scheme. Since the Commons has dug deeply into the inner machinery, there has been little opportunity for argu- \ > herney's FURNITURE WORLD WAREHOUSE CLEAROUT ments on the broad principl of the plan. The "numbers clause" alone took up almost three 'hours Monday night and Tuesday. This involved a discussion over the identification numbers that will be assigned to each con- tributor to the plan. The numbers being used are those assigned under the social security numbering system. Those who haven't got a num- ber already will be given one when they start contributing to the plan. ARE AVAILABLE Health Minister LaMarsh told the house that a certain block of these numbers will be avail- able for use under the Quebec pension plan if that province wants to use them. However, the province could use any} numbering system it wanted. More than 6,000,000 social se- curity numbers had already been issued.

Section 133 now limits official bilingualism to Parliament, fed- eral courts and the Quebec leg- islature and courts.

Likewise, the national capital and all communities across Can- ada with a Frencn- or English- speaking minority of 12 per cent \% or more should recognize the second language in their admin- istrations and bylaws.
