VOL. 26--NO. 245 10¢ Single Copy 55¢ Per Week Home Delivered OSHAWA, ONTARIO, MONDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1967 RATIFICATION VOTE NOW AWAITED UAW Says Ford Boost Largest Ever Offered DETROIT (AP)--Officials of the United Auto Workers today prepared for a ratification vote on a new contract with the Ford Motor Co. which could cost Ford about $1,000,000,000 in the next three years. Ford executives made plans to get cars rolling off assembly lines if the strike, now in its 47th day and longest in the com- pany's history, ends some time this week. The union planned ratification votes Tuesday and Wednesday at Ford plants in 25 states which employed 160,000 work- ers. The new package, agreed to early Sunday, provides for wage increases of 454 cents an hour to 90% cents. The UAW esti- mates that 20,200 skilled trades- men at Ford will average $1.02 more hourly. Under the old contract wages ranged from $4.18 an hour for a toolmaker to $3.25 an hour for a major assembler. Union President Walter Reu- ther said the wage increase is the largest ever negotiated with a major corporation by the union. Equal pay for Canadian and American workers, one of the union's top announced demands, was "the only major thing we didn't win,'"' Reuther said. Canadian auto workers re- ceive about 30 or 40 cents less than their American counter- parts. But Reuther indicated that he would press for wage parity in contract talks with General Mo- tors and Chrysler--talks expect- ed to be based on the Ford con- tract. The Canadian settlement with Ford was complicated by the fact that Canadian Ford is not a wholly-owned subsidiary of the American company and the UAW-Ford Canada contract does not expire until December. UNITED AUTO Workers president Walter P. Reuther tells of the new contract won at Ford Motor Co. and called it "'the largest eco- nomic union's 30 Ford said the new pact will raise wages of some as package" in _ his year history.

Israeli Prime Minister Levi Eshkol called the sinking of the destroyer Elath Saturday "an act of war in open sea" and said "'this despicable attack was launched without any cause." Egypt's cabinet asserted the warship was in its territorial waters when missiles shattered it. The exchange came as Soviet Deputy Defence Minister Mar- shal Matvei Zakharov arrived in Cairo unannounced and Presi- dent Nasser called his ministers together to discuss what the semi-official newspaper Al Ahram reported were '"'the ev- entualities of the situation."
