> LABORBEAT By GORDON MITCHELL Osiiawa Times Labor Reporter THE STRIKE against Dun- lop of Canada by Local 494, United Rubberworkers, in June and July saw labor- management relations at the Whithy plant strike an all- time low. All concerned were pleased to see that blow-out patched up -- but now a sister local and the company are on the skids. Local 743, which represents some 90 white-collar employ- ees, has cut off contract nego- tiations with the company until two demands are met: That the company rescind suspension of some of the office employees; and straighten out a union-man- agement employment dispute. Some 46 office workers were suspended last week by the company for a day-and-a-half when they were late getting back to their desks following a lunch-time union meeting Dunlop refused permission to hold the meeting during work- ing hours. Later 24 employees who stayed away from the office until Monday in support of the suspended workers were docked wages for the day-and- a-half. This move got the Local 743 boys really mad. Apparently the union will wait for a con- ciliation officer meeting--ask that a conciliation board not be appointed--and the way is clear for a strike. Now the fellows are back to work but not back to the nor mal schedule at the plant Overtime was cut off by the Local 743 boys. last week Members of the sister local followed their example when the suspensions were made Overtime in the plant has been stopped until things get straightened out between com pany and union. The office employees waited outside the building for 30 minutes Monday morning until a guarantee was given that no reprisals would be made against any employees. Apart from a meeting scheduled between the com- pany and the union's top pen- sion negotiator it's no go for the rubberworkers and Dun- lop. ONE THING YOU must ad- mit about the striking print- ers in Toronto is that they have got staying power. Since July 9 last year they have picketed, paraded and protested in an effort to end the dispute with the three To- ' gases MOVE AGAINST MARRIAGE|they are (AP)--Ju- shortage of young girls to help LUSAKA, Zambia nior Minister Andrew Mutemba us cope has appealed to parents to pre-;ment." ronto dailies. Their latest tac- tic has spilled over into Oshawa. Both the Liberal Party and Progressive Conservative Party committee rooms in the city are being picketed by striking mailers and printers who want to know how the candidates will act to end the dispute. Of course, they can answer it is a provincial matter which a federal MP shouldn't tamper with, But this isn't the kind of talk the Toronto boys want to hear. . They say that more than 5,000 people are directly af- fected by the strike -- an someone should act to get the publishers and printers back to the bargaining table. Meanwhile, the strikers at General Printers Limited in Oshawa went on strike more than a month before their Toronto brothers -- and are still pounding the picket line along Simcoe st. They don't see it as a fed- eral or provincial issue -- it's a local issue, and it doesn't matter who settles it, they just want to get back to work, "IN THE EVENT that the United Auto Workers union is certified as the collective bar- gaining agent for employees at a new plant of the com- pany, doing similar or com- parable work as that done by the employees covered by this agreement, then such agree- EVERYTHING GOES WRONG Grits Finest Rally, If It Had Worked of the 'departure' was that TORONTO (CP)--The Liber-|many of them brought their own als mustered their greatest}bands, bagpipers, majorettes, rally of the election campaign|noisemakers, placard - carriers} for Prime Minister Pearsoniand.clowns, who performed Wednesday night and it might|spontaneously and _ vigorously, have been a roaring success|even when Mr, Pearson was try- had anything gone right. ing to be heard.

Mr. Thompson said the Lib- erals' proposed medical care program was drafted by "the back-room" boys, was not dis- cussed either by the Liberal caucus or Yhe_ provincial pre- miers or the legislatures, then was tossed to the provinces on a take-it-or-leave-it basis.
