They had voted 339 to four to strike. The strike is neither illegal nor "wildcat," Watson said. It has been authorized by the U.AW.-CIO. international executive board. !He charged that the Ontario gov- ernment had refused to conduct a Rand formula strike vote in the plant, causing the workers to con- duct their own. Local Cadets (Continued from Page 1) will be of a sporting or recreational nature, The youthful cadets, who range | in age from 14 to 18, will be quar- tered in army huts, and special provision has been made for their health, safety and welfare. A hos- pital, complete with medical officer and staff, will be set up to take care of any sickness, and every cadet will be given a medical ex- amination on arrival at camp. Special attention is being given to: food, and a mew ration scale, containing considerably more milk and fruit juice than the regular army diet, will be provided. Both Protestant and Roman Catholic chaplains will be in attendance to conduct church services and carry out other duties. + All Activities Supervised All training, sports and recre- ational activities will be supervised 'by. the camp staff, Evenings will be taken up with movies, competitions and games. Prizes will be awarded | to winners of the various track and field events which have been plan- ned, and certificates of proficiency for swimming and water safety will also be presented.

Tascherau, officer in charge of Cadet Training at- Army Headquarters, Ottawa. Apart from the mormal cadet activities at Ipperwash, an experi- mental six-week trades training course will be conducted. Two hun- dred cadets from Ontario Technical Schools have already been selected for this course, and will be given practical training in the electrical and automotive fields of qualified army instructors, The .army hopes that by this means a greater in- terest will be created in the service, and that the training will develop trades skills needed in the Active or Reserve Forces, should the ca- dets decide to join the army at some later date. On conclusion of the actual cadet training on July 9, some 150 Cadet Instructors will attend qualifying, promotional and refresher courses from July 11 to 31.

First evidence that the strike wave is reaching Paris came Wed- nesday when 4,000 railway workers at Villeneuve-Triage staged a 30- minute sympathy walk-ouf. The town is 10 miles from the French capital. Similar demonstrations were sta- ged at Colmar, at the textile mills of Roane and at the government ar- senal at Limoges.

The strikes also spread through the towns of Tarbes, Belfort, Metz, Strasbourg, Saint Eloy, Brassac, St. ai.
