Probe By Norris -- Former Labor Minister Michael Starr today denied charges he worked "hand in glove" with the Upper Lakes Shipping Company in its fight with the Seafarers International Union and assisted the Norris family "with their labor-busting attempts"'. The charges were contained in a report prepared by Harold C: Banks, SIU Canadian leader, and submitted to the SIU North American convention. "The charges are entirely false," Mr. Starr said today. "His remarks may be prompted by results (from the Norris hearings) which he expects bu knows he won't like." Mr. Starr said he set up the Norris Commission on the insis- tence of the Canadian Labor Congress, "The CLC threw the SIU out of Canada, then competed for membership, first on the West Coast and later on the Great Lakes. "The resulting strife couldn't continue; the hearing was need- ed. Mr. Justice Norris' report will be submitted soon and it will be up to the government to take action."

"But there's got to be an un- derstanding that non-raiding be applied to all the unions--not just the SIU," the burly, Ohio- born union boss added 'n an in- terview. Asked whether he would be prepared to withdraw from Can- ada if this became a point in settling differences with the CLC, Banks said he has been with the SIU for 28 years "and you don't walk off the job in this kind of fight." He said he has no intention of leaving Mont real. Arriving to attend the SIU North American biennial con- vention, Banks said his union report on the Great Lakes fight likely will come before the con- vention today. He said the Upper Lakes company hired private detec- tives, "labor goons and scabs" in order to attempt to smash the SIU. He denied the SIU had initiated physical violente in picketing and boycotting com- pany ships.

"We are prepared for this and have planned appropriate steps," the Ohio - born Banks told the convention in relating his version of two years of un- ion strife on the Great Lakes rooted in the rivalry between the Canadian Maritime Union, supported by the Canadian La- bor Congress, and the SIU which had been expelled from the CLC for union raiding. Claiming that the Upper Lakes Company. of Toronto is controlled by the Norris Grain Company of Chicago, the SIU said it has no doubt that Starr, labor minister in the previ- ous Diefenbaker administration, worked to assist the Norris fam- ily "'with their labor-busting at- tempts."' Earlier, Banks said that the Great Lakes shipping fight can only be resolved if the Upper Lakes Company rehires an esti- mated 300 SIU men who lost their jobs when the Toronto company signed a contract with the CMU.
