eee ee ee Labor Reporter Of The Times The work tempo at Gen- eral Motors is on the up- swing now that many hourly-rated employees are being called back for work on .the 1966 model auto- mobiles. and trucks, So far only day workers are employed in the Osh- awa plants aithough pros- pects show that the truck line should be back onto a two-shift basis in the next week or 60. Right now about half of the 16,000 GM men are still enjoying the enforced sum- mer vacation caused by he annual shutdown for the odel changeover. The first car should roll off the line sometime next week -- both in Oshawa and at the new GM plant at Ste. Therese, Quebec. A GM _ spokesman said this week that 1966 looks as if it will be as good a year for sales as 1964-65--if not better. The war against the three daily Toronto newspapers has been carried as far as Oshawa by the Local 91, International Typographical Union and Local 5, Toronto Mailers' Union. Pamphlets asking local citizens not to buy the Telegram have been dis- tributed downtown during the past few days. Both union locals are concen- trating their fire on the Telegram in an effort to force an end to the strike which began July 9 last year. The pamphlet, which calls for the reader's help in ending the strike by refus- ing to buy the newspaper, says that the campaign is focusing on the paper... . "because all evidence indi- cates the Telegram _insti- gated and continues to lead the other papers in this all-out effort to destroy century - old respected Unions." Robert McCormick, Local 91 president, has been quot- ed as saying that the unions have singled out the Tele- gram because it is the weakest of the Metro dailies. Official sources have said that the distribution of the leaflets hasn't had much of an effect in Oshawa -- The Labor City. Local circula- tion of the Telegram has not gone down since the strike began. Workers .at the Robson Lang Leather Company are marking time while wait- ing for the result of a con- ciliation board hearing held recently. Bargaining for. a new con- , 'ALONG LABOR BEAT UAW Back To Work: ITU 'War' In City By GORDON MITCHELL tract for the 225 employees at the Whiting av. © plant began in March this year. The usual demands of more money, improved working conditions, union ~ security. and a better pension deal have been narrowed down to the pensions issue. The union and manage- ment representatives on the conciliation board, Frank Benn and Donald Houck, have helped hammer out an agreement which needs only an accord on the pen- sion plan. Local 205, Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen of North America, seeks a formula which would amalgamate the com- pany pension plan with the Canada Pension Plan which comes into force in 1966. The chairmen of the con- ciliation board, W. H. Dickie, said Tuesday that he would deliberate with the other members of the board and will make the report "as soon as possible." The delay in ending the negotiations hasn't worn the men down, according to Bill Faulds, AMCBW represen- tative. He said recently that the morale is good. "They know the score," he said, "Back in the 40's they withstood a six-month long THE ANIMATED ORATORY OF CHARLES DEGAULLE government officials in semi - annual news' confer- ence in the Elyses Palace in French President Charles de Gaulle is shown today as he addressed newsmen and By KEN KELLY OTTAWA (CP)--Selection of Nov. 8 as the date of the fed- eral election may mean no chance to vote for thousands of university students, officials Say.

In effect, says one official, many won't vote at all. At a campaign school in Van- couver last month addressed by Prime Minister Pearson, one of the study papers had this to say about Liberal party weak- nesses: "The fourth weakness has al- ready been referred to--namely a disenchantment of youth, es- pecially in the universities, as| reflected in the recent model Parliament elections."

The United Auto Work- ers' Hall on Bond st. will be jammed at 1.30 p.m., Sun- day, when the ratification meeting will be held by Dunlop of Canada Ltd. em- ployees. A ratification vote will be held following an outline of the contract negotiated by the company and Local 222, UAW. The Dunlop section of Local 222 is the second larg- est unit of the union body. The union's election com- mittee will swing into high gear to count the ballots which will be cast in ap- proval, or rejection, of the contract. More than 700 employees of the company are eligible to vote in the secret ballot. The pros and cons of the contract will be weighed up by the men after they hear explanations by the Duplate bargaining committee, the UAW international union's representative, Harry Ben- son, and Albert Taylor, Local 222's president. Although the major de- tails of the agreement were settled some two weeks ago union representatives have met with compan: men this week to hash out minor con- tract details. Sedate Discussion Erupts -- Into What Is Canadianism! By CY FOX | MONTREAL (CP)--A sedate) discussion about how the affairs of labor and management affect Canada's standing as an inde- pendent country erupted sud-| denly Thursday into a crackling exchange on a thorny and more fun ental issue, What Is Ca- nadianism? | Delegates to a_ conference sponsored by the university's in- dustrial relations centre had departed from points of pure economics to wrangle politely as to whether the residents. of individual nations should have a bigger stake in world industry. Some said that what was termed the current tendency to- ward control from one point, the United States, was a pref- erable development in. certain} respects. | But was Canada a_nation,| asked one U.S. delegate during) one verbal flurry.

Meanwhile, at party head- quarters preparations continued for the fifth election in 8% years -- more elections in a shorter period than at any time in Canadian history. Creditiste Leader Caouette held a session Thursday with his 12 Quebec colleagues of the last Parliament, Afterwards he repeated his forecast that the Creditistes will win between 35 and 50 seats. OO Prime Minister Pearson sum- moned Liberal candidates, cam- paign workers and the party's national executive to a meeting here Sept. 21 to discuss all as- pects of the Liberal campaign. Progressive Conservative and New Democrat campaign com- mittees are scheduled to meet here during the weekend. The New Democrats suffered loss of their deputy leader, Douglas Fisher, who announced in Port Arthur that he won't run again after eight years in Parliament. He said his decis- ion was a choice between his family and politics. KELLY PONDERS Another MP was mulling over his choice. Leonard (Red) Kelly, Toronto Maple Leaf star, said he hasn't decided whether it will be hockey or politics, or both. He was elected Liberal who will criss-cross the country by train, stopping to chat on station platforms. After using planes in the 1962 campaign he returned to trains in 1963. Prime Minister Pearson will continue to use planes. His offi- cial duties will bring him back to Ottawa at frequent intervals, aides say.

The specially-designed ma- | chine, set up as a one-school experiment by the city's col- legiate board, was supposed to automatically program in- dividual timetables along the lines of the college credit sys- tem. One computer backfire failed an 18-year-old youth who was supposed to enter Grade 12 this year. He found himself with a Grade 11 schedule. In another instance electronic brain moved a boy who failed Grade 11 arts and science last June into a Grade 12 technical course. A girl who failed her Grade 9 found | herself promoted to Grade 11. Thursday, the number of classless _ students had dropped to 70 and Fisher Park high Principal J. G. Enns predicted all timetables would be straightened out by the end of the week. He blamed part of the mix- up on a late start and inex- perienced programmers. The faults did not necessarily have to be the computer's, he said, and he was confident the thing would work in fu- ture, Canada enjoyed a "greater mobility" through its very lack of big-power dimensions.

SENSE DIFFERENCE H. D. Woods, dean of arts and science at McGill, said Canadi- ans have a profound sense of being different from their U.S. neighbors. 'We feel ourselves to be alien| observers, looking across the border," he said. Addressing the 100 represen-| tatives of universities, labor and management at a dinner, Michael Barkway, editor and publisher of The Financial Times, said any abolition of such political barriers as inter national borders could not af fect Canada's distinctive cha acter.

Higher duties on some items of significance to Canada were approved but the aluminum was the main case in terms of volume. . It had been watched. with some anxiety by the Canadian government and the Canadian industry. A similar attempt last year was also defeated.

Many of the top Liberals are expected to concentrate on the Prairies, in hopes of breaking through the Conservative for- tress there.

To a large extent, says a Maritime Conservative, national issues will be left to the travelling party leaders. JUST TO GET ELECTED "We'll just worry about get- ting ourselves elected," he said. This expected return to old- fashioned campaigning will also be followed, to some extent, by Opposition Leader Diefenbaker ae for York West in 1962 and Out on the hustings, Defence Minister Hellyer told a nomi- nating convention in Winnipeg the country needs a majority government with a mandate from all se¢tions to negotiate successfully with the provinces.
