WED AUGUST No Place For Children The employees of Sterling Drug Co at Aurora have the right by law to strike and to picket within reason some of the methods em ployed in a recent bid to publicize their viewpoint leaves something to be desired in the way of good taste The use of children carrying such signs as never gel any holidays because my daddy never gels enough pay leaves a bad taste in the mouth and Could Freddy live on my dads pay is questionable in more ways than one Freddy we would presume is probably a member of Sterling executive staff we would guarantee that the child carrying the slogan hasnt a clue who Freddy is and is equally vague about hia yearly stipend the union members rushing for a legal interpret of the directors children parading St with takes too darn long for a coffee can if they the caption break and lime There have been no signs of violence or even hints it in this Sterling strike We hope this continues and a settlement of some kind may be reached soon would suggest that the strikers involved in dispute write signs appropriate to demands and that they carry them themselves can only hope that the little girls parents will be hi a position to afford a holiday for her next year perhaps it would be loo much to hope that the salary of the other childs father would also reach the magnitude of Freddys Economy In Danger With the number of strikes which have hit the new in recent weeks with then- iciltiul impact upon many homes and Canadas economy it would appear that the word Strike will soon become a dirty word While many may be in sympathy with the respective groups of striken we must not lose sight of the fact that because of their action they may gain a fatter pay others whose wages are more or less fixed will pay the piper in terms of higher prices for commodities ll is quite evident that today the average citizen whether he bo I In the role of management or within the ranks of workers puts self above all else If such was not so the vast array of strikes which now menace the general prosperity of the country would never have been permitted On one hand is management striving often desperately to make his or her business profitable and perhaps secondary to keep production costs reasonable level Folding in the picture is the high price of money the need to pay high dividends to keep stockholders happy On the other band are workers in many categories ever striving for and demanding higher levels of income No some are justified is however the extremes on both sides which finally result in labor stoppages There is a very vital need for legislation which will safeguard against actual work when and management are to come to an agreement This is particularly true in those fields of public service be they nurses railwaymcii postmen or others At the same time these people mul he safeguarded against any employment discrimination but it should not be too much expect 4omo personal sacrifice temporarily to protect the general public of which the workers who may be involved are a part against very serious Most serious need of all is firm government leadership Unfortu nately such leadership may not be popular for human nature is ninth too inclined lo eat drink and be merry and live for without regard for the price such a way imposes 011 others and the threat to all it could hold for the future Everybody Loses
