BEECHING REGINA—The Government of Saskatche- wan has asked Prime Minister Trudeau to call for an immediate end to the bombing of North Vietnam and to press the United States Government to lift its blockade of bors and the sharp escalation in bombings by the United States present a grave threat to world peace,” the letter said. Mr. Romanow urged the Canadian Gov- ernment to “assess the uses to which Cana- dian material is being put with a view to prohibiting the use of our resources in this war. We have already begun such a review in the province of Saskatchewan.” A recent delegation of 50, led by the Voice of Women and including representa- tives of the Saskatchewan Peace Council, Congress of Canadian Women, Communist Party and various other public organizations had urged this action on the government. Wehrmacht not wanted here WINNIPEG — The following statement was adopted at a pub- lic meeting sponsored by the Manitoba Peace Council on June Ist. “We protest and oppose the agreement which permits West German troops to test tanks at Camp Shilo and nearby Carberry Hills. “Military exercises by West German troops in Canada at this time is in contradiction to the federal government’s expressed support for a European Security Treaty, its limited withdrawal from NATO and its declared: interest in improving relations with the German Democratic Republic. At a time when everything needs to be done to promote de- tente and reduce tensions to promote disarmament and curb militarism, the federal govern- ment, by allowing West German troops to test tanks on Canadian soil, helps to promote and per- petuate the cold war and the arms race. “Canada is drawn into this kind of military scheme by its membership in NATO and NORAD, and by its continued support for the U.S. war of ag- gression in Vietnam. “The struggle to prevent world nuclear war breaking out in Europe means to prevent the spirit of revanchism and militar- ism, which is still alive in the West German military, from ever again menacing peace. This still is a threat since many of the top officers of the Bundes- ex-Hitler officers. When West German troops came to Shilo in 1966, the com- manding officer was a veteran of the Eastern Front and a former nazi. “We call upon the federal government to support the wide- spread _ public opposition in Manitoba to the presence and activity of West German troops to rescind the agreement which permits these troops on Cana- dian soil and to take action to prevent West German tanks from tearing up and destroying the unique and irreplaceable ecology of the Carberry Hills.” Copies were sent to the prime minister, the minister of de- fense Manitoba MP’s, and the Western Region Canadian Legion. at Westinghouse-Hamilton By RICHARD ORLANDINI HAMILTON—Before May 15, the Westinghouse plant here produced appliances under trade names including Baycrest - for Hudson’s Bay and Viking for Eaton’s. Now the plant is quiet. All of the life is now outside— on the picket lines. In the strug- gle for better wages, benefits and working conditions the members of UE Local 504 struck the plant and stopped all pro- duction. That isn’t the way Westing- house had. wanted things to go. Before the strike, the company hired about 400 new and tempor- ary workers under the assump- tion that if a strike was called the temporary workers (many of whom are students) would sway the vote for acceptance of any proposal. The company under- estimated the unity of the work- ers (temporary and full-time) and their tactic backfired on them. The temporary workers acknowledged the need for in- creased wages and benefits and voted “Yes” on the strike vote. Then production stopped and the life and excitement went to the picket lines. The picketers at Westinghouse were in good spirits. and that “bothered the company. So the corporate giant tried tactics to destroy unity and the morale of the strikers. They made a big affair out of bringing a train with five boxcars through . the company gates. But the five cars weren’t needed. One was filled at the warehouse and the others left empty. In their ef- forts to demoralize the strikers the company goofed and showed the strikers how empty their warehouses are. And the striker= ‘know that the warehouses won’t be filling up because the real producers are now outside the plants. Any, trick will do for mono- poly when it tries to break a strike, even a time-worn trick. So the company tried again, the next time with a truck. The company had contracted a unit to Sudbury and INCO sent a truck to pick it up. When the truck got to the gates the driver encountered the pickets and re- fused to cross the line. Later the driver was told to cross or be fired. He still refused. After 36 hours the company decided to send a scab in with the truck and with police protection. The workers told the company that the truck could cross but only with the man who first refused to cross the line driving it. The goods then went out, but with- out the aid of a company hired scab. = After trying their hat tricks and. failing to demoralize the strikers, the company agreed last week to negotiations with an arbitrator. The workers are prepared for a long strike if ne- cessary but they are hopeful @ Continued on Page 8 ". Frankly, sir," need more money...”
