Lloyd Colthorp, vice-

cablevision province-wide a
precedent may be set. “This

many programs to be seen
pravince-wide?” he said.

1 TO LABOR

Smarten up
Barrett says

VANCOUVER (CP) — The
labor movement “‘had betler
gmarten up politically before
it s too late,” Dave Barrett,
flamboyant leader of the
British Columbia New
Democratic Party, said
Wednesday.

Union members will be the
authors of their own
destruction if they stay out of
politics and permit the re-
election of the Social Credit
government in B.C,, Barrett
said in a lively speech to the
B.C. Federation of Labor's
annual convention.

Barrett said he is con-
vinced Social Credit will
bring in socalled right-to-
work legislation if it is re-
elected. Right-to-work laws,
in effect in several of the
United States, outlaw close
union shops. No such laws
are in effect in Canada.

Labor delegates gave
Barrett a standing ovation
and passed a_ policy
statement reaffirming their
support of the NDP.

However, both candidates
for the leadership of the
250,000-member federation,
said the labor movement
must always reserve the
right to criticize what it feels
are incorrect NDP policies,

Bob Donnelly of the Tele-
communication Workers
Union and Jim Kinnaird of
the International
Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers are competing for
the su
gates. Elections are Friday.

As Barrett finished his
speech, a delegate said he
only votes NDP because ‘‘it
is the lesser of three evils.”

Barrett laughed and then
clowned with a woman who

' told him she voted Social

Credit in the last election,
but will switch to the NDP.

“Hallelujah sister, you've
been saved."

Barrett's NDP govern-
ment was defeated in 1975.
He now leads the official
opposition with 18 seats in
the 55-seat B.C, legislature.

“Now look, my dear
friends, we have had some
differences in the past,”
Barrett told the Jabor
movement. But he urged
union members to “tran-
scend differences of epinion”
in order to defeat Social
Credit.

Federally, he said he is
sick of having to choose
between “Joe Trudeau and
Pierre Clark—there is no
thoice.”

Barrett said the federal
government is trying to
cloud the problems of
unemployment and slow
economic growth by ralsing
constitutional reform as a
major issue,

AUSSIE

VANCOUVER (CP) —
The Australian labor
movement has
threatened to shut down
all communication bet-
ween Canada and
Australia if penalties are
levied against Canadian
postal workers who defled
a parliamentary back-to-
work order last month.

The Australian Postal
and Telecommunication
Union sent a telegram to
Prime Minister Trudeau
Wednesday saying if any
penalty is levied against
members of the Canadian
Union of Postal Workers
(CUPW), it will “consider
the imposition of a ban on
communication between
Australia and Canada.”

The telegram, was read
to the annual convention
of the British Columbia
Federation of Labor by
Frank Walden, director of
CUPW’s Western region
and one of nine union
executives who faces
criminal charges in
connection with defiance
of the back-to-work order.

They are charged under
a criminal code provision

penalty, on conviction, is

Civil servants
condemn govt

OTTAWA (CP) — Public
service unions Wednesday
condemned new government
legislation that links public
servicesalaries with those of
private industry, saying it
deprives them of the right to

rgain.

Bill Doherty, vice
president of the 190,000-
Member Public Service
Alliance of Canada, sald his
group will continue to fight
the legislation which he said
makes a farce out of any
system of  coilective
bargaining.

Chesley Lockhart,
president of the Professional
Institute of the Public Ser-
vice of Canada, said the bill
is a dangerous version of
legislation introduced in the

t Parliament and opposed
by almost all the trade union
movement.

Doherty issued a strong
Statement Wednesday after
saying Tuesday night he was
cautiously optimistic about
the legislation, a
Modification of that of last
Parliament.

Lockhart sald it is clear
the government stil] intends
lo restrict free collective
bargaining in the public
service.

“One is left with the
distinct impression that the
government wants to reduce
the public service and the
effectivenas of its
representative unions for
sheer political expediency by
blaming the country’s
economic ills on them,

PRINCE GEORGE, B.C.
(CL) — A bankrupt auto
saleefirm has been fined
$6,000 on three counts of
fraud by provincial court
Judge George Stewart, and
now the judge wonders if all
used car dealers are

crooked.
Lawyer David Jenking,

representing P. .

it was common practice :
among car dealers to coax |
customers to accept less
than originally agreed to for
the sale of their car on |
consignment,

“Are they (used car
dealers) all crooks?"’
Stewart asked.

Stewart was lold that the
salesmen for the firm ¢on-
vinced three peretce for
agree to a lower price for
their cara by telling them
prospective buyers were
offering less than what the
original ownera sought.

Evidence showed that the
three cars involved had
already been sold for prices
ranging from $150 to $900
more than the consignees
wanted.
