"EVEN McLAUGHLIN SAYS TRUSTEESHIP HAS WORKED Maritime Unions -- Two Years Aiter THE OSHAWA TIMES, Friday, September 3, 1965 13 Death On The Highway: ee ee WHEN BUYING OR SELLING PROPERTY | CHEQUE CHECK NOT WORTH iT By MICHAEL BLAIR MONTREAL (CP) -- Two years ago the federal govern- ment gave a three-man board the job of restoring order among maritime unions on the Great Lakes and Pacific Coast, The Maritime Transportation Union , Trustees were to halt violent inter - union jurisdic- tional disputes and introduce democratic methods to the 8,- 000-member Seafarers Interna- tional Union of Canada (Ind.) and four other unions. How are they doing? Judge Rene Lippe, the. chair- man, says the trustees, are quickly achieving what the the SIU are Canadian Labor Congress affiliates. FEARED DOMINATION The unions and CLC com- plained at the time that the legislation was a step toward government denomination and contro! of trade unions, This complaint is still heard but the majority of union leaders ven- ture their cautious approval of trusteeship operations. The original board of trustees consisted of Mr. Justice Victor Dryer of Vancouver, who re» signed last December; Judge Rene Lippe of Montreal, a vet- eran labor mediator who suc- ceeded him as chairman, and Charles Millard, retired na- tional director of the United Steelworkers of America (CLC), The vacancy was filled early this year by Joseph MacKen- zie, director of organization for the CLL, ' | First task of the trustees was to end inter-union raiding, the main factor in clashes between the SIU and smaller CMU., The trustees thought they had a raiding incident several) weeks ago but after an investi-| gation they said they were sa-| tisfied it wasn't, Rene Turcotte, a former di-| rector of organization for the SIU, showed the trustees a let-| ter dated Aug, 3 from Jack Staples, president of the CMU,) authorizing Mr, Turcotte to ping industry is decided aboard a yacht in Brooklyn," he said, referring to a newspaper man' discovery of Banks there last fall. The trustees and Mr, Me- Laughlin say they haven't heard from Banks since his dismissal, Judge Lippe adds that rela- tions with Paul Hall have re- mained good and that the SIU of North America (which in- cludes the loosely affiliated SIU of Canada and the Canadian Maritime Officers Union)" has applied for CLC membership. Raiding is prohibited by the. CLC constitution and the trus- tees ate cautiously hopeful that CLC membership for all mari- time unions would mean a per- manent end to raiding. Their hopes were' buoyed by a recent West Coast example of inter - union co - operation-- something new. among Mari- time unions--in which SIU and rail brotherhood observers at- tended each other's sessions with management in an attempt to get equal benefits for their) members. The unions at present negoti-| ate independently with some 60] shipping companies on the lakes and several on the West Coast, The trustees would like to see) the companies negotiate to-| gether. They would also like to see} one union for licensed personnel, On the highway, death, in many disguises, awaits his victims. So commonplace has death by automobile come that it causes few ripples, It is a common af- fair, not reserved for any big holiday but part of the fabric of everyday life, The following story shows some of what happened during the 24 hours of Monday, Aug, 9. By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS So swift, so smooth, so pleas- antly the car absorbs the miles. Power surges beneath that foot pedal, The hands rest lightly on the wheel. The highway calls, The engine purrs, And then it happens--scream- ing rubber, helplessness, smashing steel and glass and death, It ay d makes Pat ore + venp| lines.

"We've had no major prob-| lems since we took over super- vision of the unions in October, 1963, and the trusteeship is moving along a steady path to its own dissolution," the judge said in an interview in_ his Montreal office. "Our program to start with| was ambitious and our progress| has exceeded expectations." Will the trusteeship be dis- solved before its term expires) Dec,. 31, 19667 | "It might end before or) after," he replied. The term can be extended by) order-in-council, ; Judge Lippe's view is par- tially shared by Leonard (Red) McLaughlin, president of the SIU of Canada, the union most affected and most bitterly op- posed to the imposition of the trusteeship. SUCCEEDED BANKS 'They have achieved their task quietly and insidiously,"' said the suave, well - dressed suecessor to Hal Banks. | Banks, whose head-knocking| methods , of union organization and blacklisting of dissidents have been blamed for much of the violence that swept through Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River ports beginning in 1961, was removed from office by the trustees last year. Later he fled to the United States to escape a five - year sentence for conspiracy to as- sault a rival union officer, a non « extraditable offence, He also forfeited $25,000 bail. "The unions under trustee- ship are co-operating now and taking a joint approach to mu- tual problems," said Mr. Mc- Laughlin. However, his union's opinion of the act that sét up the trus« teeship remained unchanged -- "a terrible piece of jlegisia- tion." When the bill was introduced, Red McLaughlin and other un- jon leaders led a seamen's march on Ottawa to protest. He was charged with leading an il- legal walkout,.a charge still be- fore the courts, Among critics of the work of the trustees and of the state of the SIU is John D, Leitch of | | \ily ousted Banks, Mr. McLaugh- Staples later said Mr.\other for unlicensed personnel, Turcotte had claimed he could. . 3 sign up many new members for the CMU, "so I gave him two weeks in which to try."

Initial steps have been taken! toward amalgamation, and on the West Coast a licensed rail brotherhood local has merged with the merchant service guild, As for making the SIU more democratic, Mr. Hope says) "plans are being made for a new constitution and we hope to see it presented to the SIU membership for ratification be- fore the end of the Great Lakes shipping season in December." The constitution is being writ- ten by Dean A. W. R. Carroth- ers of the University of West- ern Ontario, an expert on union constitutions, and by the SIU executive board and the trust- ees.

"A great Canadian, Mr. Jus- tice T. G.

"It now is possible to see a situation developing which is potentially as dangerous as that which produced the unprece- dented violence on the Great Lakes in 1961 and 1962," The 1963 Norris report de- port described the labor strife as "part of an_ irresponsible campaign to maintain one rapacious and violent man, Banks, in power as a dictator." It called for establishment of the. trusteeship and recom- mended changes in the laws to protect seamen from intimida- tion by union bosses.
