(CP) -- The national president of the 80,000- member Civil Service Federa- tion of Canada has suggested the body should strongly sup- port the government's proposal to give its = collective Claude "A. Bdwards told the federation's conference Monday that, whatever collective bar- gaining system the government introduces, "I hope our organ- ization and the individual mem- bers will give the procedures every opportunity to prove their effectiveness." He coupled his plea for ac- ceptance of the government lan with a warning that strikes & civil servants can do more harm than good by allenating public opinion. The question of what stand the federation will take for the next three years on collective bargaining and strikes is ex- pected to be raised repeatedly from the floor during the week- long conference. In suggesting that civil serv- without resorting to walkouts, Mr, Edwards noted the recent report of the government's com- mittee on collective bargaining for government employees rec- ommended 'establishing formal procedures for handling griev- ances -- something not now available, NOT ALL RESPONSIBLE However, not all the respon- sibility for poor working condi- tions lies with the government, he said, "T have often seen it happen that employee organizations failed to take full advantage of the averiues open to them to present their grievances, to fight injustice and to improve working conditions." He termed the recent postal workers walkout a wildcat strike and said it could result in legislation 'which removes some of the benefits we have been striving for." Mr. Edwards also gave a strong hint that he hopes the federation is on the verge of affiliation with the Canadian Labor Congress. Noting that CLC President Claude Jodoin is to address the delegates Wednesday, Mr, Ed- wards asked them to give care- ful consideration to a resolution calling for affiliation When the time came to vote) on the resolution -- probably Thursday--<delegates should do so "with the full knowledge of what the Canadian Labor Con- gress can and does do in regard to the problems of organized la- bor in Canada." UNION CLOSER He said the federation now is closer to union with the 34,000- member Civil Service Associa- tion than ever before, but warned that the present staff associations making up the na- tional bodies could be rendered ineffective under collective bar- gaining. Mr, Edwards drew his only applause when he promised the federation would never support the premise that the govern- ment cannot take the lead in paying higher wages in a de- pressed area. He called for-a review of the federation's support of a na- tional wage rate for classified employees, It would be difficult to maintain that position under collective bargaining. Bonuses could be paid to workers living in high-wage areas. Record Crop For Farmers TORONTO (CP) -- Ontario farmers are heading for record crops in corn, tomatoes, soy- beans and white beans despite a serious mid-season drought, the Ontario agriculture depart- ment reported Monday. Heavy rains and warmer weather since Aug. 1 are cred- ited with reversing the gloomy picture of June and July, which were cold and dry. The two-month drought ruined hay crops in most areas. The department said strawberries, raspberries, and cherries suf- fered from dryness because of the drought. Strawberry production. de- clined six per cent from last) year to 7,550,000 quarts; rasp-/ berries 14 per cent to 2,028,000) quarts; sour cherries 26 per) cent to 22,379,000 pounds, and) sweep cherries 12 per cent to} 10,555,000 pounds. Department officials say the province's corn yield may ex- ceed last year's record average of 81.1 bushels an acre, if warm weather continues and there is no early frost. Prospects' are excellent for higher yields in Kent County, biggest corn- and tomato - growing area in the province. MAY SET RECORDS Because of bigger acreages planted last spring, harvests of soybeans and white beans, as well as corn, are expected to) rise to records, the department} said. | Cern planting last spring was) ap 14 per cent to a record 740,-| 000 «acres.
