Association: and Audit Bureau of Circulation. 1m amete: Hear niet a) OCHS Ws A wildcat strike that buckfired could halt thé paving of this area’s much abused Highway 16. At loggerheads are Prince George tycoon Ben Ginter’s Argus Canstruction and Jimmy Hoffa‘s teamsters. The cause of contention in this bat- tle of the giants is an 18 year-old girl, The girl’s duties are to halt traffic when work is progressing. It involves waving a flag, speaking politely to the drivers, and directing the traffic, The issue apparently is that since the girl is non-union, she should be fired to keep a job open for a Teamster. If this is so, then it reveals a pitiful short sightedness on the part of union leadership. The traditional channels for settling lebor-management disputes were initially ignored, A belated move has been made by the union to attempt to justify the re- fusal of members ta work despite the fact that no strike had been called and no strike vote taken. But the fact remains that the walk- off is a wildcot strike, made in defianr~ not only of the Ginter canstruction corm- pony but also the union. One could sympathize with the union if a serlous case of injustice could be supported by facts. But to pull men off the job because management refuses to fire a young girl is a farm of arrogant stupidity that we could do without. Barrett urges penal reform Brannan lake % junior jail’ Dave Barrett was here on a mission, The Coquitlam NDP MLA hit the Skeena area to plead the case of youngsters under 12 who break the law, He also managed to support Frank Howard's bid for renome ination as Sccena Federal NDP. representative and to take a few licks at incumbent Socred MLA Dudley Littie. Barrett, a graduate social worker, has presented a Bill to the B, C, Legislature every year for the past five years, The Bill calls for better treat. ment of offenders under the age of 12 years. Currently such youngsters are sent to Brannan ake, an institution that Bar. reit labelled “a junior jail’’, The matter was tabled by the Socred Government for the first four years and last year finally went to a vote where it received a firm turndown. Barrett, in an address to the Skeena Federal NDP Nominating ,7 Convention here, said; “Even your own MLA‘ ‘(Dudley : Little) voted against it,” oe He said when ‘fia’ Bill was defeated he pledged to visit every constituency in B, C. in an effort: to publicize the matter and let constituents know how ithadbeen dealt with by the various repre. sentatives in the B, C, Legise lative Assembly, Barrett told the group he has | facilities.
