(CP) -- A strike that would paralyse the St. Lawrence Seaway was threat- ened Thursday by the Canadian Brotherhood of Railway, Trans- port and Genera! Workers (CLC). No date was set. but the likely target is mid-June. The union's negotiating com- mittee rejected a conciliation board majority report that rec- ommended a wage increase of seven per cent this year and a further seven per cent in 1967 for the Seaway's 1,200 workers Basic rate for laborers now is $2.13 an hour. A CBRT spokesmen said the recommendation did not come close enough to the union's de- mand for a 35-per-cent boost that would put Canadian Sea way rates on a par with those paid on the U.S. side of the in- ternational waterway. He said the committee will ask all members to reject the offer when it is put to a mail vote, If two-thirds of the mem- bers did so, a strike would be called.

J, Ainsborough of Toronto and company nom- inee A. J. Bates of Montreal, PROPOSED INCREASES The union representative on the board, Francis Eady of Ot- tawa, filed a minority report proposing a 20-per-cent pay boost this year and another 20 per cent in 1967 During conciliation hearings the Seaway offered a three-per- cent wage increase in each year of a three-year contract. The union modified its original de- mand for 35 per cent in a one- year contract to: the same amount in a two-year contract, | The union spokesman said it will take at least two weeks to complete the poll of members, then a short time to set up strike machinery. This would make the middle of June the strike target. Legally, the union can strike next Wednesday night.
