Big Hamilton Steel local ‘rejects support for raid The Steelworkers Union appears to be in deep trouble ; A specially called member- for support for the raid. An overflow meeting on Wed., ‘Noy. 22, the largest since the 1958 strike, voted by five to one against a resolu- tion submitted by the Steel- workers leaders including Wm. Mahoney, USWA National Di- rector, Larry Sefton, District Director and S. Cook, Hamil- ton Supervisor, calling for membership support behind their raiding. This action along with simi- lar moves by.

Londridge, National Secretary of the Mine union, said in a statement this week. At the same time the Cana- dian Labor Congress Can Workers Union, Local 354 in Hamilton, rapped both the Steel Union and the Congress leadership over the Mine Mill raid. A wire from the’ local to Claude Jodoin, President of the CLC stated, “The same steel union has tried to take over membership of Can Workers Union, even though we are af- filiated’ with the CLC. We know their methods well from close observation in Hamilton and want no part of the Steel Union.

We strongly urge you stop your — efforts to destroy the union built by Mine Mill and give constructive attention to your own members.” ? e : President Gillis, central fig- ure in the attempted split away, called a morning shift meeting last week which was attended by 1,000 workers. He informed the workers INCO refused to open negotia- tions and when those present suggested that this was be- cause of the sell out of his executive to the Steel union and called for the resignation of the present executive, he adjourned the meeting. Gillis then called off two similar shift meetings schedul- his recognition that the mem- his splitting policies. TED HARRIS 757 East Hastings St. Vancouver 4, B.C.
