McINTYRE HOOD Special to The Oshawa Times BIRMINGHAM, England -- Rover Motor Car-Company put a quick end to a go-slow and overtime ban instituted by its) - 1,000 workers in the plant. at . Solihull, Warwickshire, an ac- tion by the workers which had disrupted production at a time of high demand for the new Rover 2000 automobiles . being assembled there. It countered the go-slow and overtime ban by issuing an ultimatum to the workers that unless normal working and overtime were re- sumed forthwith, the plant would be closed. Faced with this ultimatum, the men gave up their disruptive tactics, and pro- : i : duction flowed smoothly once wt : ' ; more. 4 4 The ultimatum was issued be- F .

After a meeting at- : a atended by some 300 workers, who voted to continue their re- strictive practices, the company officials said that the position in the plant was "bordering on the chaotic". It issued this state- ment: e NOTICE OF CLOSING "Notice is now given that un- less normal working is resumed by all the Rover 2000 section on or before 7.30 a.m. tomorrow, then all! Rover 2000 -assembly sections will be closed down. Any legitimate grievance in con- nection with the engagement of new labor will be considered through the proper channels when normal working is re- sumed." A shut-down would have had the immediate effect of making 700 assembly workers and 200 others on associated production at Solihull unemployed. And within a few days, the. effect would have spread to several hundred other workers'at Rover factories in Birmingham and South Wales, making engines, gear boxes and axles for the River 2000. The ultimatum had an im- mediate result. At the allotted time, all of -the workers were back in their places, with the go-slow and overtime ban for- gotten. Veteran MP Says Silence Keeps Seat OTTAWA (CP) -- Veteran MP L. Elston Cardiff treaded gently through the Commons flag debate Tuesday night, toss- ing off homespun advice to fel- low members on how to get along with people and stay in Parliament.' "I would suggest to the younger members of the House ~--if you want to stay here dont' talk too often and then they don't know how stupid you are," he said, The 75-year-old Conservative from Huron said he has seen many members leave the Com- mons in his 24 years, 'Mind you, they were a lot smarter men than 1 and could make wonderful speeches, but when it came down to solid facts they forgot all about the people who! elected them, .; . "More people talked them- selves ,out of this House than talked themselves into it." Mr, Cardiff said he was tpeak- ing for his people when he sup- ported the Red Ensign. A farmer who is secretary- freasurer of the Huron Plow- man's Association, Mr. Cardiff} had a special theory on the) business of. getting along with! men. | "There are some men you cannot get along with... un-! less you give them a good lick- ing.
