hear ings open soon on the contract dispute between the big rail ways and their nonoperating employees Labor Minister Starr is ex pected shortly to set up three man conciliation board which will have the task of trying to settle one of the most complex labor disputes in railway his tory The board itself may fail to settle the dispute but it could produce report that might be basis for settlement The boards hearings will be the arena in which the railways and unions will fight out their rival contract proposals WIDE APART The 15 wow unions bar gaining for some 104000 off lrain railway workers want two year contract cent hourly pay boost plus job security plan that will protect all Workers with five years or more SEIVICE Breaking new ground the railways file counter proposai of three year con tract work security program an unspecified wage increase and other benefits in return for major overhaul of traditional seniority groupirgs without vio lating craft lines Each side balked at the others proposals Their talks collapsed last month without getting to grips on any real bargaining Now the fight shifts to the conciliation board On wages the unions are insisting that pay increases must be related to the earnings of workers in the durable goods 12 DONALD ST THE BARRIE EXAMINER SATURDAY MARCH 10¢ Skaters Thrill Stayner Fans STAYNER Special Stay ner citizens turned out to pack the

the retail automotive business since 1947 Mr Myers and his fondly will establish their home in Barrie in the near future Railmens Talks May Decide Future Of Railways Themselves industry They contend this in dustry has been established by past conciliation settlements as the yardstick for railway pay The railways reject the claim that the durable goods standard is firmly rooted They have of fered pay increase only as part of an overall economic package th at includes re vampcd work rules and new seniority rosters Farreaching changes already have taken place in the rail industry changes brought about by the need of the rail ways to streamline their entire operations in the fact of mount ing competition from other forms of transport CHANGING SCENE One result of this trend is rapid decline in the railway work force The unions want new technol ogical devices introduced in planned gradual manner tied to onepercent attrition rate in the railway work force In essence this would preserve most of the current jobs held by longservice workers even jobs that are no longer neces sary The railways dismissing this plan offered to guarantee work not specific jobsfor long service employees But the pro posal is conditional on union acceptance of consolidated seniority roster reducing the 2000 or so separate point and craft seniority groups that tend to make the nonoperating work force immobile The companies proposal wollld have provided measure of employment stability for the workers while giving the rail ways more flexible work AT YOUR SERVICE force The unions rejected the offer as little too late ANDERSONS INSURANCE AGENCY PA ssoss YOU PHONE lLL SEE YOU AT YOUR HOME wmnsc ALL CLASSES on Insurance WE STAND FOR SERVICE AND ECONOMY WE SPECIALIZE lN CONFIDENTIAL INTERVIEWS AND REVIEWS

men under him Brigadier Purves is re mote and seemingly austere figure Isolated by the barriers of rank he must maintain the role of commanding officer at all times Beneath the uniform is thoughtful and reserved man of middle age with certain dig nity which comes from the man and not the rank He is not the type of man who would stand out ings crowd He is the kind of man you would go to if you had problem and you wanted advice asked the brigadier about his job My job is lonely one he admitted have no close friends Peopleyare afraid to approach me because others might think they wanted my friendgiip for personal gain The brigadiers responsibilie ties are twofold He is both army commander and mayor of Camp Bordon As commander he is respon sible for the training discipline and physical and mental well being of every man in camp As mayor he is ruponsible for the education recreation and housing of the inhabitants of fairsized town The brlgadier is noted for his activities in the

calls in the middle of the night he says woman will call up to com plain that sha got bad chicken at the grocery store or that her husband hasnt come home when he was expected In dealing with the men un der his command the brigadier says that he has to be some thing of psychologist Patience and fair play are important qualitia in my job must give the private soldier as much consideration as the more senior ranks Any man with grievance can come to me and if he is not satisfied with my decision he can go to my lords and masters The brigadiers wife died year ago His 14yearold Camp Borden Chief Soldier llnd Mayor daughter Marilyn attends high school at camp and her main interest in life at the moment is horse riding His own spare time interests there isnt much time for them include reading sports and art His men will be interested to know that he was once PT dir ector and rugby and basketball coach at college in Regina where he was head of the school of commerce He now enloys curling golf badminton and tennis but says he is getting bit too bid for the latter two sports The brigadicr relaxes by reading detective stories Perry Mason and The Saint are two of his favorites in art he is traditionalist who likes the work of the Group of Seven and has taste for landscapes He does not enjoy abstract art dont understand it he says bluntly He is not particularly inter ested in music My mother had me take pl ano and violin lessons he says havent touched eith er for many years At the end of the interview the brigadier put on his cap picked up his swagger stick and was once again the
