MacDonald said today. Mr, MacDonald, leader of the| Ontario New Democratic Party,| said in a statement: "The greatest single pocket of poverty in Ontario today is the one created by the provin- cial government among its own employees." | He said the mass walkouts of federal postal workers came) about because "there is a limit) to the frustrations" under-paid) civil servants can endure, He) said the Ontario government) has created conditions among! provincial. employees which are an 'exact parallel with} § those at the federal level." | # 'Despite all the idle prating,| provincial civil sergants have not been granted genuine col- lective bargaining rights. As a result, a scandalously high pro-, portion of them live on sub-| standard wages -- 17 per cent earning less than $3,000 a year, 35 per cent earning Jess than! $3,600 a year," he said. | He called for a basic annual minimum wage for Ontario, 'Handlers March In Montreal MONTREAL (CP) -- Striking Port of Montreal grain han- diers marched 1,000 strong! through the city Thursday fol- lowing a report from their un-| fon representative that the Na- tional Harbors Board, their em- JUST A GUEST NOW, BUT SOMEDAY...

Also involved in the strike is the Federated Associa- tion of Letter Carriers. Be- tween them the two unions rep- resent some 4,000 postal work- ers in Montreal. After the meeting of Mr. Houle and other strike leaders with Mr. Tremblay, Mr. Houle said a return to work could not be considered "until we get a concrete offer from the govern- ment that is at least close to the $660 annual increase m salary we have demanded." Mr, Tremblay arrived . 'here. Thursday night after strike leaders agreed to meet him. The 2% hour meeting was also attended by Roger Decarie, Montreal president of the Let- ter Carriers Association (CLC), Louis Laberge, president of the Quebec Federation of Labor (CLC), and Maurice Hebert, as- sistant co-ordinator for the QFL and Canadian Labor Congress. Prior to the meeting Mr. Tremblay said: 'I have come to Montreal only to explain the Are Planned' government's position and to try to establish direct communi- cations. I have no new offer to make and 'cannot make any until Judge (J. C.) Anderson makes his report." He would make no comments when the meeting ended. Judge Anderson was named by the government as a one- man commission to study' civil | service salaries for Class D employees. In this class there are 56,000 persons, 22,000 of whom are postal workers. Judge Anderson's appoint- ment came in the wake of a strike of postal workers that began July 22 in Montreal and Vancouver and spread rapidly until more than 70 per cent of the postal workers had left their jobs, including those in Toronto who voted Thursday to return to work. The issues that touched off the strike began' several months ago. Civil service association Jead- ers, including the Postal Worke ers' Brotherhood, began dig- cussing pay increases with the civil service commission and finally the treasury board, a cabinet committee headed by oe Minister Walter Gor- on. The brotherhood represents not only the postal employees' ; and letter carriers' but also' the Canadian Rail ' i Clerks Ane (CLE e commission re mended pay pitt Y annually for letter carriers, raising them to a. maximum + $4,680, and an increase of $ for most sorters, bringing them to a top of $5,040.. The treasury board agreed to these amounts. However, postal workers in Montreal and Vancouver re- fused to accept the offer and went on strike, which by last Tuesday had spread to 7 centres. Repeated calls by na- tional brotherhood officers to wait for. further negotiations with the government went un- heeded, Metro Vote Spurs Return Of All Mailmen In Ontario TORONTO (CP) -- Toronto) postal employees today led a return to: work in Ontario, end- ing in the province a series of postal walkout that began Thursday, July 22. | The return to work in Tor- onto was made on condition that a report containing favor- able recommendations is made within 14 days by Judge J.
