Disclosure
Bill
Opposed.

SN OTTAWA (CUC) — The
‘ Retail Merchants’ Association
has gone on record as opposed
to legislation that would re-
quire merchants to disclose
the interest rate they are
charging consumers for credit
purchases.

Spokesmen for the Assoc-
iation, which also sponsors
the anti-cooperative Equit-
able Income Taxation Found-
ation, appeared before the
Senate-Commons committee
on consumer credit March 16
to say they are not in favor
of disclosing credit charges
in terms of simple interest.

The RMA’s proffered rea-
son was that consumers do
not understand percentage
and prefer to be told in terms
of dollars and cents how
much the carrying charges

will be.

Compulsory Arbitration }

Ve oe

In Ontario Hospitals

TORONTO (CPA) — The
Conservative gov ernment’s
bill to ban all strikes and lock-
outs in Ontario's hospitals by
a system of compulsory arbi-
tration has been aproved in
principle despite strong op-
position by New Democratic
Party and labor spokesmen.

The vote on second reading
in the House — approval in
principle — was 77-7 with the
Liberals joining the Tory bloc
in supporting the measure.

Over the objections of NDP
members, the Legislature’s
standing committee on labor
relations reported the bill to
the House for third reading.
Several changes were made in
committee, but the substance
of the bill was unaltered.

Looking a gift carin the mouth —

- “WHAT'S UNDER THE HOOD ) >

The measure provides com-
pulsory arbitration by a three- —
man board after the parties —
have gone through all stages —

of conciliation set out in the
Labor Relations Act.

The terms of a collective
agreement worked out by an
arbitration board will be
limited to one year unless the
parties agree to a longer per-
iod. Under some _ circum-
stances, an arbitration board
may make specific terms of a
contract retroactive.

In the debate on the bill in
the House, NDP leader Don-
ald MacDonald charged that
blanket imposition of compul-
sory arbitration in hospital

disputes was a serious blow .

to free collective bargaining.

Auto Workers Fear
Job Dislocation —

WINDSOR — Concern is
mounting among Canadian
auto workers that the recent-
ly signed auto trade pact be-
tween Canada and the United
States may have serious and
unpleasant implications for
them.

Because of this, the Cana-
dian United Auto Workers
Council has asked that the
Federal Government release
more details about the pact.

So far, there have been only
suggestions of worker disloca-
tion, possible loss of jobs and
the shutting down of some
auto parts plants.

‘FLY B.C. AIR LINES’

When performance means profit. . .

Now the UAW wants facts,
and lots of them.

At the Canadian UAW
Council meeting in Woodstock
Local 199 in St. Catharines
presented a resolution asking
that the Federal Government
be requested to openly discuss
the auto trade in Parliament
so that the Canadian people
may be made aware of its de-
tails.

In supporting the resolution
the council noted that while
Canada has signed the pact,
which provides for limited
free trade in cars and car
parts, the U.S. has not and the
general public is entitled to
know all the details of the
agreement.

Pipe smokers are almost in- _

variably solid, reliable citi-

time cleaning, filling and fool-
ing with their pipes they don’t
have time to get into mischief.
