accepted by the International Woodworkers of America The lWA seventh ranking union in Canada with 34600 members has charged the Carpenters with raiding its ju risdiction in Newfoundland and also with violating CLC policy if found guilty the Carpenters union second biggest in Can Raids ada would be suspended from the CLC and probably expelled International officers of the Carpenters are forcing show down by lnsisting on ruling The result is prickly dilemma that seems insoluble without one or the other of the big un ions dropping out of the central labor congress WANT FEWER HOURS The 1000 or so delegates voted Tuesday for declaration the CLC unions make every effort to secure shorter work weeks with the same or higher take home pay and more holidays in their next agreements The reduction
