PEAKING to the annual
meeting of the Canadian
Chamber of Commerce in

Montreal on September 21, Mr.
H. J. Clawson, vice-president of
the Steel Company of Canada,
put forward a five-point plan to
keep the trade unions in a legal
straight-jacket. The first point
in .Mr. Clawson’s plan to
strangle labor is firm opposition
to implementation of all or any
part of ‘the Freedman report,
and anyother similiar sugges-
tions for enlarging the right to
strike. (Mr. Justice Samuel
Freedman advocated the right
of unions to negotiate and, if
need be, to strike over changes
brought about through introduc-
tion of technological change
during the life of a contract.)
Mr. Clawson’s position is in line
with the Ontario Chambers’ “‘un-
alterable” opposition to labor’s
demand to eliminate injunctions
in labor disputes.

On September 22, A. A. Thorn-
brough, President of Massey-
Ferguson Ltd., threatened that
his company would pull out of
Canada if the recommendations
of the Carter Royal Commission
on Taxation is implemented.
(The Carter Commission recom-
mended a tax on capital gains.
Also that Canadian-based inter-
national companies should get
only a 30 percent credit for for-
eign tax payments) Mr. Thorn-
brough was speaking at the fall
conference of the Financial Ana-
lysts Federation in Toronto. His

farm equipment firm is based |

in Ontario (Toronto-Dovercourt)
and has plants in the United
States, Britain, France, Ger-
many, Italy, Australia, South
Africa, Rhodesia and Brazil. It
also has associated companies
with plants in India, Spain, Ar-
gentina and Mexico.

Both of the above gentlemen
are spokesman for international
monopolies based in Canada.
