L 3 2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wedngrley, Febrwory 15, 1961 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN BIG LOCAL 222 YVOTY, IN MAY Malcolm Smith snd CHtf Pilkey sre not i6iting the Eris grow under their feet They know, as they stand in the wings and view the turimilent scone in the political world of the Cans adian UAW, thet they are due soon ta lock horns again in & titanic test of strength, one thi cold have wide repercussions (inside and out of Oshawa), The important elections for 10ne eommitieernen we due in March, but Smith and Pilkey sleo have thelr eyes sel on another important event The upcoming Mey election for the 16 top executive posts of Loert 222, UAW-CIO (the }1500-member unit thet includes GM, DuFiste, Houdsille Industries, Coulter Mig, Ontario Steel, Fabricated Metals and Hobbs Class.) is traditionally one of the mest important voles held in the city, not excluding the municipal election, EAS A oki SMITH PILKEY Smith and Pilkey are leaders of opposing factions in a bitter struggle for inter-Locsl supremacy hi de cisive win for either group could boost the leader's political stock to an unprecedented high, Pilkey slso has far higher ambitions--say, the job held by George Burt ss Canadian director of the UAW, 1069 ELECTION I8 RECALLED Pilkey desperately needs a victory for himself (in the presidential race), for his party (in the executive section), if he is to retain his positon ss "The Most Influential Critie of the UAW in Canada' (as Reporter Wilfred List has tabbed him), if he is to press his fight for more Canadian autonomy, If he is to add more fuel and tire to the "Hate<George-Burt" eampaign, of which he is one of the prime instigators Smith needs a decisive victory for himself and his executive candidates if he is to put a evimp in the up surge of Pilkey's powerful, self-styled Democratic Right Wing Group (that usually draws, strangely enough, the bull of its strength from the left and far left) Pilkey was defeated by Bmith for the presidency in 1060 by 204% votes to 4617 (after Pilkey had held the post for two years), but Pilkey won a moral vietory in that campaign in that his DRWG slate of eandidates swept seven of the top 10 executive seals As a further indication of Plikey's power behind the scenes, his supporters from the GM bargaining eommit« tee and control the Oshawa and District Labor Council (of which he is president) Pilkey has long been a thorn in the side of the In« ternational UAW, but, by the same token, Bmith has long been the greal articulate ehamplon of the Inte national in the ranks of Local 222, has effectively barred Pilkey's way ta a complete domination of the Local Pilkey is a glib, polished political performer, but Smith has a habit of coming up with a big viclery when It is maokt needed by his forces, Smith, the ff-year-old Local 223 president who fist learned his trade unions ism as a youth in the Boettish coal mines, has played a key role in the Local's political affairs almost sinee Its inception in the mid-1080's UNION DISHARMONY IS RECORDED As leader of the Unity Group and the pro-Reuther forces, Bmith usually draws the bulk of his support from the middle and right-wing factions, They usually re #peet his cool, conservative approach te controversial unlen problems, his sound administration record, and desire to eurh intersunion strife As president of the Local, with a predominant DRWG executive, Smith has operated under a heavy iandieap, He gave some indication of the extent of the ntersunion rivalry in the Canadian UAW while writing in Fehruary 2 edition of The Oshaworker, Smith paint od out that the recent District Counell meeting in St Catharines didn't secomplish much In the way ef coming yp with solutions te big problems hecause most of the time wan taken up with "politioal hassles" Wrote Smith; "Canadian Director Burt had a lengthy report In which he soundly castigated the splinter groups whe submitted hriefs to the Bladen commission in opposition tn the brief submitted on behalf of the vast majority of delegates to the counell, This eritleam did not ait well on the shoulders of the people at whom it was di« rected, and the result was that hours were spent going aver issues that have been adequately covered not once, but several times, It got so bad that several delegates stated that if we could not get something more constructs ive to discuss, we might as well dishand the Counell als together," There was also a resolution passed eondemning three newspapers published hy the Communist Party The Canadian Tribune, On«The«line and The Spark, for making "unwartanted and untrue statements against the leadership of aur union" THE QUESTION OF AUTONOMY One of the favorite war ehants of the DRWG is for "mare Canadian autonomy," but Smith believes such needs are grossly exaggerated and saya that the Interna tional UAW allows Local 282, and sister Canadian local's Yeamplete freedom" in administering their affairs, He adds that the International UAW has spent far more money here than it ever teak out, Pilkey's supporters claim that Walter Reuther, uns disputed leader of the 1,100,000-member UAW, came ta Oshawa in April of 1880 for the special purpose of doing "a hatchet Joh" an CUI in his bid for the Loeal 228 presidency, alsa tea squeleh the antisInternational feeling whipped up by some af the Oshawa members Although the fued never reached the point where wecesalon fram the International endangered, Mr, Reuths er's visit here emphasized the importance of the oveass ion, also that 4 Local 222 executive vote Is of extreme importance In distant offices of the UAW There could he a third group In the executive race this year=-one led hy William Werry-=hut, nevertheless, it will more than likely be an exeiting, free-swinging event with the result of importance to thousands of peo ple, inside and out of the Local 222 political world, HIGH VALENTINE | ly today to find this giant | Ontario | valentine nailed 12 feet up in roused | 8 tree, Preity Linda Cronk | third-year arts student from | Port Rowan, knew straight away it was for her and ehimh ed up to claim H (CF Wirepholn) Women students wt a Uni | versity of Western sorority house were hy sounds of hammering ear Federal Rail Policy Fires Commons Clash OTTAWA (CP) French: "blowing is top" and hoasting neaking MPs from opposite that the 80-mile Mattagaml line of the Commons clashed inaugurates a new natlongl pol Puesduy night aver federal rall- ley, From 1081, under the Lib wiy policie orels, Parliament had author In the centre of the tempest ized almost 700 miles nf rail ny {Aonel Chevrier, former way Liberal transport minister Martin!
