Tree Planting Bylaw Protects Park Visitors A 1947 bylaw forbidding the| planting of certain trees on city property helps protect Osh-| awa park visitors from falling} trees "Oshawa has a bylaw which mani- trees are to be planted on city| |property including parks -- or anywhere else," says Herbert Bathe, superintendent of parks. Mr. Bathe said the bylaw was passed after considerable }maintenance problems where }roots were growing into sewers. A seven-year-old Toronto boy) twas killed and two other chil-| }dren were seriously injured this week when a playground tree, rotten from within, fell on them as they played. "We look at the outward ap- pearance of park trees every year but drill-hole _ testing (being conducted in Toronto), would cost a bit of mony," the} superintendent said. He said the age of the tree does not determine its rotten- ness and that trees of any age die of diseases. Mr. Bathe said he is positive there is no dan- ger of falling trees in Oshawa parks. He added that "nothing has warranted the need to test trees." | CITY ELECTION fairs Association was announ- jced today.

Rally Speakers Disagree Over Injunction Abolition -- Jeers and cheers were hurled last night by more than 500 persons attending the Oshawa 'and District Labor Council's iijuaction rally. ae ened ntal aalitininus and the president of the Fed- eration of Labor were among the speakers on the receiving end of the crowd's boos and applause at O'Neill Collegiate as they tackled the use of court injunctions in labor disputes. Employees of Tileo company of Peterborough, who received jail senterices of up to two months for defying a court order to restrict picketing at their strikebound plant, a cranial waloame Their plight and the recent strike at the Oshawa Times were repeatedly referred to by the four speakers who were unanimous that ex-parte injunc- tions should be abolished. ABOLITION Sacnivnd PeCeavea The speakers, however, did not agree that all injunctions should be abolished. Albert V. Walker, MPP for Oshawa and Leonard: Braith- wait, REDD fae Weerin-b. WOus, maa 20F scatGuiCGRS, sii ancwer ta 2 auestion declared they would not support the abolition of all injunctions if the issue came before the Ontario legislature. David B. Archer, president of the Ontario Federation of Labor, said abolishing court in- junctions is a political issue but She Oshawa Cimes OSHAWA, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1966 Highways are beginning to feel the weight of the Canadian- wide rail strike as manufactur- ing companies who formerly shipped by train now are scrambling to get transport truck firms to take their orders. Generally, big highway trans- portation companies are work- ing to capacity with a small backup of orders or over-stock- ing at loading and unloading terminals. Small companies are handling what they can and passing any surplus of orders they have onto bigger firms, a spokesman for a large hauling firm in Toronto said today. In Oshawa, transport com- panies seem to be able to handle their own for the moment, ac- cording to reports from several firms. They are going at a capacity rate, too, but if the rail strike is not settled soon there will be virtually no way to have an order filled in hours, let alone a full day. NO EXTRAS One spokesman for a city firm said: "We are Bob Dionne Will Coach 'Crushmen' not taking Club announced, in an official press release today, that "Bob" Dionne, well - known local hockey, enthusiast, has been named coach of the club's OHA Junior 'B' entry, Oshawa "Crushmen," fot the coming season. It was also announced that "Bob" Heard, business mana- ger of the "Crushmen" in their first season of successful opera- tion, will continue in that capa- city. "Bob" Dionne is himself a graduate of the Oshawa Minor Hockey Association and since his return from overseas, in 1945, has devoted a great deal of time to coaching teams in the local minor hockey setup. In more recent. years, he has been coach of Oshawa's On- tario Minor Hockey entries in the Midget and Juvenile ranks. He was also president of the Oshawa CYO Minor Hockey Assoc, for the past four years. Last year, Bob attended the special coaching school, con- ducted by the CAHA, at Kings- ton, where "Hap" Emms was course. Toronto Housing Shortage Critical TORONTO (CP)--Toronto is experiencing a housing shortage as critical as that during the Second World War, Controller Margaret Campbell said Wed- nesday. Her remarks were sparked by the eviction, to make way for high-rise apart- ment developments, of more tran 100 people.

A LUXURY "The lawyer's fee is a very moderate rate, in fact it's too people but "a bit of a luxury." Earl G.

Another local firm, with about the same turnover of loads, said it was not under pressure now, but if the strike keeps on it will be because the head office in Toronto said it had its. trucks (650, city, highway) working at top speed. One company spokesman said from Toronto that his firm has 311 power units working the highways day in and day out and Strike Shifts Loads From Rails To Roads extras," after noting that the|there is no sign of a let up be- cause it is handling orders that smaller companies cannot cope with. Truck drivers with that company have gone to the ex- tent of giving up their holidays to fill the Ontario demand for transportation means, Before the strike the company usually logged about 450,000 miles on highways over two weeks, but in two weeks that ended Saturday it had covered 700,000 and that is expected to climb another 100,000 in the next two-week span as a result of the rail closedown, Up 500 Over Employment in Oshawa dur- ing August favored the work- ing woman and not the male employee. The National Employment Service's monthly report shows men last month 507 over July's record. For the same morith, there were 548 fewer women unemployed. A year ago in August, the mumber of wnemploved men was 8,560. This August, there were 923 additional men un- employed. However, in the past year, employment for women has improved. The number of unemployed dropped by 205 over a year span. "There was no significant change in the number of un- employed during the month of August," said J. W. A. Russell, manager of the service bureau. He said a gradual recall of industrial employees was in- dicated previous to the railway strike but he added there were still considerable numbers of employees. on layoff during the month of August. NURSES NEEDED "Female workers for sales; clerical and service occupa: tions were still in demand dur- ing August while the profes- sions including' engineers, tech- nologists and nurses showed a shortage 'of personnel," said Mr. Russell. that the number of unemployed) increased by) Male Unemployment Total July Record He said there was a de- crease in the number of new building projects that some con- struction tradesmen remained in short supply. Mr. Russell also tion workers continued te be employed on existing projects. Vacancies at the employment service are: electricians, com- machinists, sheet mechanical designers, physical therapists, child monitors, hair- bination welders, tool and die making, metal workers, @ranghtsmen, tool project engineers, dressers and nurses, Board Calls Vote At City Company Th Ontario Labor Relations Board has directed that a rep- resentation vote be held at Chambers Foods Limited, with all employees of the company at Oshawa, except office staff and 'some others, entitled to vote for or against representa- tion by the Retail, Whole- sale and Department Store Union. The Board has also directed a representation vote by the Cobourg plant employees of General Foods, Limited. Seek- ing the vote is th United Packinghouse, Food and Allied Workers. DAVID ARCHER "Law Is Stupid Ass" the real culprit is profits and dividends, He said everyone is talking of wage restraints but no one talks ef mn fle anntent Malin mame wen of profit. control. Only now are the warkare onino after the wages denied to them, he added. Mr. Archer termed the gov- ernment's proposed legislation (8 per cent pay boost) to end the nation-wide rail strike as in- adequate, unrealistic and unfair and he said it shouldn't be accepted by the railway work- ers. : The railway workers, he said, should 'no longer subsidize the economy of this country and labor as a whole should resist forced arbitration with every fibre of its being. WISHART RAPPED In attacking Attorney-General Arthur Wishart for his action in the Tilco strike Mr. Archer said: "The law in Ontario is not only an ass -- it's a vindictive and stupid ass." I. his address, Mr. Walker told the audience he was sur- prised at the severity of the sentences handed down by the court to the Tilco employees but he said he could not argue the legal aspects of the decision. He said injunctions in labor disputes are used mainly by small companies and in some cases to weaken or break a strike, "The small employer is less likely to bargain in good faith if he knows that when a strike is called he can get an in- junction against picketing which is really the backbone of the strike," he added, RESPECT COURT He said, however, he could not agree with those who would flout the order of the court. This statement brought loud boos and jeers from the crowd, mostly Labor supporters. "When a court decision has been handed down, based on the laws of our land, this decirion must, be upheld. The basic foun- dation of our society depends law and order," said Mr, Walker. Mr. Braithwaite, a under 19th century laws. said. is that ex-parte injunctions should be abolished and in- junctions in other labor matters should not be heard by the courts but by an expanded labor relations board, he said. Mr. Braithwaite said banning all injunctions in labor disputes would be simply replacing one court of law with another; in- stead of appearing in a high court strikers would appear in a magistrate's court. He advocated that the govern- ment should call a meeting be- tween top management and labor representatives to discuss on these self-same courts for "Management and labor ap- pear to be headed on a collision course. Our society has under- gone and is undergoing drastic changes but labor laws have not kept up with these changes," he The Onava MPP said no ine junction hearing, dealin, labor disputes, should be tune our courts until both sides ha' received notice and been given defence argument. The basic solution to the en- tire problem, he said, is "job security" for the striking work+ er during a lawful strike. The Hon. Ivan C. Rand, & former justice of the Supreme Court of Canada, has been aj» pointed a Royal Commissioner to investigate labor problems, = = tt said-Mr, Walker, WANTS ACTION = Donald C, MacDonald, Onta) New Democratic leader, said wants action instead of investt» gations. he "Eight years ago a sel committee of the Ontario lature unanimously recommend- ed that ex-parte injun should be abolished," he saidy "Now, eight years later, when a storm has broken out am trade unionists with regard the abuse of injunctions in labor-management disputes thp government has weakened up and has set up still another royal commission to look into the. matter." He said there is a great hue and cry among those who are more interested in order than they are in justice so that the trade union movement has held up as disrespectful of the law. : Citing the Hon. J. C. Me Ruer, former chief justice of the Ontario Supreme Court, he said, "is it a disrespect for law or a frustrated craving for justice" "Order, like law, to be ree spected must deserve respect Disrespect for an order does not deserve respect ought not to be condemned as dee generation but commended as healthy regeneration." Mr. MacDonald the trade unionists to be patient, to respect the law until it is changed but congratulated them for holding meetings such as the rally to protest in the strongest possible terms. . * Firms, Unions Travel On Collision Course Toronto lawyer, told the rally the hasic problem was that manaagement and labor are forced to bargain what changes should be made in our labor laws. AUTOMATION The advent of automation in industry is creating problems, he said, and clear ground rules are needed, Labor, he said, must be given ample advance warning of changes in automation tech- nology. The government must pro His party's (liberal) position|vide training and retraining for workers who lose jobs through automation and jobs must be available when the retraining is completed, he said. -"No longer can a man hold a job until he's 40 and retire with a gold watch," he added, Clifford Pilkey, president of the Oshawa and District Labor council and moderator for the rally, said getting three mem- bers of different parties and the leader of the labor movement in Ontario together to discuss a problem of this nature is an achievement never before ob- tained in Oshawa.
