LABOR COSTS UP The board originally voted a ceiling of $2,450,000 for the proj- ect but hadn't anticipated the in-| | creased labor costs would be as/ {high as they are. Mr. Jackson investigated a} }possible saving if the board ;were to prepare the site.

The firm changed its special number prior to Miss Wright's Whitby - Toronto call.

Bricklayers were busy on the Oshawa Shopping Construction site of the new retail liquor store this morning. The picket-line thrown up yes- terday was down today but could go up again tomorrow. Representatives of local build- ing trades manned the line yes- terday in protesting non-union labor on the project, Joseph Keleman, spokesman for Local 20, Bricklayers and Plasterers, here, said today an agreement had been reached late yesterday with the owner of Arch Construction Limited of Toronto.

FEW REACH TOP MONTREAL (CP)--The posi- tion of the working woman in |Belgium is much the same as it is in Canada, says Agnes Clarysse, there in connection with Belgium's pavilion at Expo 67 "Since the war, more and more women are going out to work, but not many take to ex- |ployees. He said it was a form Compulsory Mediation Curtails Rights: Pilkey Municipal Employees Will Be Hurt, He Says Opposition to a compulsory arbitration recommendation: was| speed voiced Tuesday by Ald. Clifford Pilkey at the annual Ontario Municipal Association conven- tion in Toronto. But, the OMA invited the pro- vincial government to employ compulsory arbitration in dis- putes involving essential muni- cipal services when all normal conciliation procedures have been exhausted. Ald. Pilkey said the associa-| tion's approval of the use of compulsory arbitration could result in a drastic curtailment of the rights of municipal ein- of discrimination. "SECOND BEST" "All civic employees should have a right to free collective bargaining,' he said. "If we go to compulsory arbitration-it is the employees who are going to come off second best."' Others attending the conven- tion from Oshawa, which ends today, are Ald. Christine Thom- as, Ald. Alice Reardon, treasur- er Frank Markson and H. G. Chesebrough, welfare admini- strator. The compulsory arbitration recommendation was contained in a report from an association special committee on municipal labor relations. "It is not attractive to the employees but when it comes to essential services, such as matters of public health, welfare and safety, then someone has to be able to do something when all else has failed," said Scar- boro Reeve A. M. Campbell, special committee chairman. "When it reaches the point of emergency it is compulsory ar- bitration, so far, that has pro- vided the only answer." "SPEED THEM UP" Ald. Pilkey said he favored some aspects of the recommen- ecutive posts," she said. ciation emphasize a need to up ¢ tion pro- cedures. "I think the convention was whistling in the dark," he said. "I don't think the government will implement the recommen- dation because it is too flexible and places too much onus on the Premier, leaving him to call the shots. He won't take on these responsibilities as it seems to me the government wants the onus on someone else."" Galt Steelies Help City Men. Financial help from a sister steel local in Galt is being re- ceived by members of Local 1817, Fittings Limited, it was learned yesterday. Harold Pennock, president of Local 4125, at Canadian Brass Limited in Galt, said any Osh- awa gains won by steelworkers would affect Galt. "Oshawa generally sets the wage pattern at the Galt plant," he said. This plant is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fittings Limited, +Fittings has been closed down since June 24 by what the com- pany -calls a walkout and the union called a lock-out. The strike has been legal since July 31. Mr. Pennock said his local is having contract problems of their own. Their contract ex- pires next March. He said the local will try for a mutual expiry (of contract) date with the Fittings local. did not rule out the possibility of a sympathy strike. Mr. Pennock admitted sym- pathy strikes are illegal but said it would be up to the dation and urged that the asso- membership to decide. PLANE RADIOS AHEAD Eagle Eye Aloft Nails S peeders A local driver's strange mean- derings on the Whitby stretch of the MacDonald-Cartier Free- way did not go unnoticed by the police. The man was stopped and charged with impaired driving. To all intens and purposes it was just another drinking case. The motorist pleaded guilty and was duly fined. What was interesting about the case was that the man walk- ed out of court with the dubious honor of being the first man in Canada to be caught by an air- borne policeman. The driver's freeway weavings were spotted by an OPP spotter plane on routine patrol along the 401 Hihway. - Inside the light single-engined plane was Constable Raymond Gallant. He radioed to a waiting eruiser, descirbed the car's an- tics and gave a description of the vehicle. Within minutes the driver had been pulled over and charged. It was the first practical de- monstration of the OPP's new weapon against. the highway speeder. "FAMILIAR THINGS" : Within a year or two air patrolling of major highways will become a famili: . thing: The first air patrgl went into action Monday on a stretch of Highway 7. By the end of the day several charges had been laid. The OPP are now renting the planes. Soon they will be as commonplace as the black and white cruisers. "One plane," said Assistant Commissioner J. L. Needham of the OPP, "'can do away with one or two cruisers. "A plane can cover a vast stretch of highway. An airborne policeman can see great stretches of road at a time. A speeding motorist can quickly be spotted and a cruiser put on his tail." Asked how soon the Whitby and Oshawa stretch of the free- way would get an air patrol, Mr. Needham could give no de- finite dnswer. "We rely on a computer at the Department of Transport," he said. "Road accident statist- ics are fed into the machine _ along with cause and effect. MACHINE CALCULATES "The machine then calculates which highway stretches need the patrols. "The first to get them will be the stretches where high speed is an accident factor. Here the \ air patrol can be of great use." The Highway 7 experiment has been carefully and exact- ly laid out so there will be no courtroom slip ups. The stretch has been laid out in quarter mile stretches. Each quarter mile is marked with a T-shaped mark on the highway. As a speeding motorist crosses the T a policeman a 1,000 feet above presses a stop- - watch. If the driver's speed is excessive over the quarter mile a radio call is made to a cruiser patrol. It is all so quick and very, very effective. Warning signs have been post- ed on Highway 7 but motorists have still to learn what it is all about. The feeling is still "it could aever happen to me",
