For the last threc wecks my mail box lias been ernply, courtosy of the stri king postal workors. For alI 1 know, 1 inay nover be so lucky to receive miy mail at ail. In the last tour yoars, there have been more strikes and labor disputes then 1 care to remiembeir. To mny mind, miail delivery is an essential service. For smiall businesses the lack of mal service can put themi out of business conipletely. Then, there are thousands of Canadians who have to put up with the inconvenience whenevet posties decide to go on strike. Generally, the counitry's economy "receives a hard blow, rnainly froni a very few.people who control the postai services. These people, as you ail know, are union mon and CORPORATION 0F THE TOWN,0F WHITBY NOT ICE POLLING DAY. ADVANCE POLL.

Dissension would'only invite trouble. This kîind of situation, coupled with intimidaitions and violent threats, is deplorable and must be stopped at once. l'd go so far as to suggest that A union leaders who deliberately disrupt the country's econorny andadvocate anarchy, must be jailed without the slightest apprehiension. Thiese union leaders have gone too far. No longer common sense prevails. To them, no wage settlement is good enough. Why ask for a 10 per cen t raise if you cani get 30 or 40 per cent by inconveniencing the general public and, practically, using blackniail tactics against aIl forms of govemment. T'his type of "bargaining" bas been going on for too long and is still being tolerated by the Trudeau government. The question I'rn posing is: when will alI this end? I feel'that certain stops to ciirb the union power can be taken immediately. Firstly, the government should bring in the back-to-work legisiation. Anyone who defies the back-to-work order should be fined heavily and if necessary, jaled for a short period of timo. Secondly, the govenment Corridor Grapevine Have y ou heard about the succossful meeting recently held with the Administrative Committee dealing with the Langmaid Property, which borders onto Dundas Street, Thickson Rd.- N. and Rossland Rd.?

NOVEMBER 12,1975, PAGE 5 should serlously consider an alternate means of getting the mail rolling once again. Why not con tract the mail delivery to private companies? Thus, the government could provide somce employment for thousands of Canadians who are out of work at the present time. Delivering Miail should not be Ioo difficult a task. Anyone can read a street number, 1 presumne. .But, we ail know that the people in Ottawa have no guts and they are afraid to make such a move. In fact, they're scared to death whenever union leaders speak of retaliation. What bugs me is that the littie guy is always a loser. The non-unionized workers are suffering most during strikes and labor squabbles. The little guy can screamn at the top of his voice, but nobody is listening to his problems. Perhaps, it's higti time that the non-union people start a strike of their own and refuse to pay taxes for the services they'renot getting during labour disputes. Ah I1 do know is that some- thing must be done right away, before Canada stops existing as a viable country and trading partner amnong other industr'ialized nations of the world. Is any one listening out there? Let's hope so, before it's. too late. School gym for ail candidates and which wil be hosted by the Ratepayers Association.
