The deposed president of the Seafarers' International Union of Canada (Ind.) has been sought for a month by a court bailiff armed with the arrest warrant, a civil law document. Banks must turn up for the Monday criminal court session so that a date can be set for the preliminary hearing of a charge that he conspired to incite sea- men to abandon ship. A court official said Banks, 56, is obliged to appear or "'be faced with the sanctions of the law." Banks is free on $1,000 bail in the case, Accused are required by law to appear at such court hear- ings and, in the case of de- fault, the prosecution normally asks that a bench warrant be issued for the arrest of the missing party. It was learned Friday the Crown will ask that a date in October be set for the hearing.

Greaves, an official of the Na- tional Association of Marine En- gineers (CLC), was assaulted in his Vancouver office in Jan. 1960. The charge that gave rise to) Monday's proceeding also in- volves 14 other SIU of Canada officials.

The contempt action was a ci- vil case, which means that Banks will remain free of prison under the conviction so long as he manages to keep out of reach of the bailiff, He incurs no extra penalty for his evad- ing of the warrant-server.
