Belle- ville, Industrial Disputes Com- missianen wha investigated a la- bar dispute involving 10 Ontario rubber factories, has recammend- ed that negotiations be reopened on an individual plant basis, La- bar Minister Mitchell disclosed on Monday. The recommendation was con- tained in Judge Cameron's repart which the Ministen made public without comment. Judge Camer- on held a series o! conferences from May 29 ta June 21 when, he reported, it became apparent an agreement cauld nat be reached. The strike, affecting more than 11,000 workens, started June 24. His report included suggestions for the basis o! future negotia- tians. Main points in his proposais were wage increases of eight cents an hour, introduction o! a 44- hour week, and payment o! a pre- mium a! five cents an hour to workers on night shifts. The un- ion sought a 20-cent increase, 40- hour week and a 10-cent differ- ential. Hits Industry-Wide Demnands In his 3,000-word report Judge Cameron was critical of the in- sistence o! the United Rubber Workers (C.I.O.), which repre- sented the employees o! ahl the plants that negotiations shauld be on an industry-wide, nather than a plant, basis. "Notwithstanding my direction that the negotiations should con- tinue an a plant basis, it is very dlean ta me that the failure ta reach satisfactory agreements was due ta overaîl control o! each un- ion by the strategy committee," he reparted. "The bargaining committees had in effect, handed over full autharity ta the strategy com- mittee, and the evidence clearly showed that even if an off er were made by campany representa- tives, the local bargaining com- mittee had no power ta accept it or even ta negatiate an it with- out approval o! the strategy cam- mittee which was in daily ses- sion throughout." The palicy adopted by the un- ion was described as "unwise and unrealistic" and "impractical." It was alsa cantrary ta the Federal Labar Code, which requires bath the employer and union represen- tatives ta negotiate in good !aith. Varying Conditions Wide variations in the working conditions o! the plants involved, the areas in which they were la- cated and the nature o! their pro- duction made blanket recammen- dations propased by the union un- suitable-.- The commissioner not- ed that the United States Wage StabUization Board had refused to approve industry-wide patterns for the rubben industry in that country. All Canadian employ- ers were opposed ta industry-wide bargaining. The "extreme rigidity" o! the union in adhening ta its program was illustrated in the case o! one company which had negotiated a cantract with "substantial wage increases". in Februany, but the union still insisted an a funther 20-cent increase. "On the other hand, I think it fair ta say that some o! the corn- panies have not approached the negotiatians in a realistic man- ner," he continued. "The union's pragram was presented ta the companies as a basis for local ne- gotiations mare than six months aga, and in a number o! cases cancre te counter-proposals wene neyer made by management. I am satisfied that a more neasoned approach ta the problems involv- ed, rather than a mere rejection in toto o! ail the requests made, would at that stage have brought about satisfactory results on a plant basis in some cases." Throughout the industry, in- creases of from 30 ta 80 per cent have been granted since 1939, greatly exceeding the increases in the cost-of-living index. In moeiy cases injustices and inequalities had been dealt with, although some remain. Romancing With Shorthorns B3Y Jack Baker Gordon (Pete) Leask, Taunton, and Tom Baker, Jr., Solina, re- cently delivered two truck loads of Shorthorns to a Connecticut1 buyer who was so well satisfied with a previous consignment fram Durham County that he placed a repeat order. It may be of inter- est ta tell something of the deal and the trip by way of general information. The business of international trade in manufactured goods is more or less a matter o! facts and figures but the transfer of pedi- greed livestock !rom one country ta another has something of ro- mance and special interest toa ah parties connected therewith. While the export of dairy cattle ta the U.S.A. during the war and post war has been tremendous, with carloads and truck loads crassing the border almost every day, the export of beef çattle ta the U.S.A. is prohibited by aur government 50 that ail surplus beef may be sent ta starving Europe, save only for purebred registered animais of the beef breed. In this connectian we recently had occasion to purchase and de- liver ta a firm in Connecticut a consignment of registered Short- harns. Characteristic o! American business methods, the buyer calîs by long distance phone: "I am forwarding ta your bank in Bow- manville a draft for $2500. Buy what you can o! good Shortharns for delivery ta Toringtan, Conn. If they suit another arder will follow." Accordingly the purchases were all made in Durham Caunty and after fulfilling the necesary re- gulatians for expant, that o! blood tests, export certif icates and transfers from Ottawa, health charts, etc. for each animal, they were assembled at our farm and two Fard trucks, comfortably loaded with quality Shorthorns, started on the 458 mile trip at 12.01 a.m., Monday, June 17th.
