"The Y is over 100 years old. Its entire existence has been with the working of youth, now it feels that it knows how to work with youth, that it has the skills, experience and confidence." The judge mentioned the possibility of other community centers already. in districts, "I welcome community centers in any town in which we work. At present our program is to go into a town without building, just use the present facilities until we see if there is a demand for a Y building.

"Some of the maintenance men going in and out took sick and we issued new passes to others to. take their place," Mr. McGuire said. Then we discovered that all of the passes were being used instead of being turned in when the sick men recovered. â€" Immediately we called for a mass picketing. "The mass picketing continued for three weeks along three miles of picâ€" ket lines in the coldest weather, but our men‘s determination never wavâ€" ered.. In fact the tear gas had strengâ€" thened it. On January 20th a top mine official notified the Dept. of Labor that only 20 percent of the union wanted to strike and the strike would be over in a week. "The police experimented with tear gas in an effort to breaik the picket line. But the weather was too cold and the gas didn‘t rise over three feet finally blowing back in the faces of the police themselves. "A commission arrived from Otâ€" tawa and made certain propositions and proposals which we considered quite fair. However, again the comâ€" pany wouldn‘t agree," Mr. McGuire said. Holiday season cam» and went and the picket lines patrolled steadily, their families enjoying a good Christâ€" mas thanks to the help received from Timmins and other unions. "It began the morning of January with all members out on the picket line and everyone was stopped from entering the plan:. "During that time the company kept 20 odd men in the olan@t working about 20 hours a day. The committee was called to Otâ€" tawa to discuss the strike with the Department of Labor. The company again offered i0c an hour eflfective Nov. Ist and 7¢ an hour relroactive to May 16th. ‘Again the union rejected the offer. However, the chockâ€"oil seemed to be the point and again the Dept. siggested a secret vote of members which the cormpany refused. "A mine. official said that half the miners wouldn‘t know what they were voting on anyway," Mr. McGuire said. A schedule was worked out with the provincial police to allow mainâ€" tenance men to enter the mine. "We did not want the machinery to deterâ€" forate, but we did insist that producâ€" tion must completely stop," the union official said. All Funds Raised will beAdministered by the Local Y.M.C.A.

"In addition we received a desk in the medical room for the union to collect dues; a no discrimination clause; and an agreement that all men would be back to work in 14 days.
