Stevens praises new labor approach By SINCLAIR STEVENS MP YorkSimcoe With almost threequarters million Canadians out of work it was welcome news to hear that the Canadian Labor Congress is planning to use new approach in their labor negotiations Confrontation between labor and management has been the $sence of their approach to date Each side tries to out smart and outbluff the other As result we have one of the worst per capita strike records in the world In many European coun tries labor works more in partnership with business and government Each sector sets its own goals in co peration with each other and they then move jointly to achive those goals Labor in the United States has been less demanding than in Canada yet productivity increases have been run ming higher in the United States than here As result our wages have been getting out of line with comparable wages in the United States lhis in turn has made our goods less competitive on the world market Our exprts have fallen and our trade deficit has widened ALL LOSERS We have all ended up losers labor the general public and the businessman That is why it was welcome news that the CLC plans to take more co rperative approach Labor has grievances In the inflationary upswing their share of our national in come fell from 75 per cent to 70 per cent in 1973 whereas in the United States labors share of the United States in come held at 75 per cent Much of recent wage in creases have been catchup increases bringing labor closer to the 75 per cent level of our national income Un fortunately productivity in industry has not been keeping up with these wage increases If wage and salary in ueases were to continue to grow faster than our produc tivity there is no doubt our competitive position in the world would fall still further The federal administratinr must accept great respon sibility for this international imbalance between our wage levels and particularly those in the United States BAD EXAMPLE What else does the ad ministration expect when it has chosen to give our senior bureaucrats $66500 per year compared with the highest paid government worker in Washington who earns $44000 That is more than 50 per cent more for senior bureaucrats in Canada than for their counterparts in the United States On the other end of the scale this administration has taken the lead in raising our minimum wage so that today it is 40 per cent higher than the average minimum wage in the United States Our federal minimum wage is $290 for those over 18 years of age compared with the minimum wage in for example New York State which is $215 When we have minimum wage 40 per cent higher than in the United States and our highestpaid bureaucrats are paid 50 per Star is born fromseries By LEE MARGULIES LOS ANGELES AP People who once wondered how anyone could enjoy the antics of grumpy bigoted Ar chie Bunker may now ponder another television mystery Whats the appeal of tired old police detective who has bad feet hemorrhoids chronic case of the blues and bothersome wife For such is the character of Sgt Fish in Barney Miller role that has made star of heretofore littleknown 55 yearold actor named Abe Vigoda Vigoda is recognized every where he goes these days He appears on TV game shows Someone wants him to star in Broadway play Policemen stop him on the street to request photographs to hang in the station And ABC may spin off an entire series on Fish Why this outpouring of at tention and affection for sadfaced character who is but one of handful of sup porting players in the Barney Miller precinct Max Vail costar of the series offers this explanation My belief is that people re spond to whats human The maracter is so complete so human Things like going to the bathroom or being tirede simple human thingsdAbe finds kind of poetry in them and people connect with it Hes wonderful actor VIEWERSSYMPATHIZE Vigoda himself also feels that viewers relate to Fishs vulnerability and sour resignation to lifes troubles Fish has has been on the force for 38 years Vigoda explains Hes not unhappy but he is pessimistic He knows things dont always turn out the way they should Most people think dont Are few like him TORONTO CP Russell Goodman makes comfortable living and works reasonable hours now but earlier in his ca reer he earned 25 cents an hour for an 18hour day The Toronto stainedglass artist says he will never be rich but to him work is labor of love Stainedglass art has always been poorly paid profession he says Ive reached point where the work is there because Ive spent 30 years building up my reputation and style of my own Mr Goodman learned his profession through four years of apprenticeship and says there are few competent stainedglass artists in Canada One of his jobs which took years to complete was the painting of provincial flower designs on the House of Com mons windows in Ottawa major Goodman work is at the Providence Villa Nursing Home in eastern Toronto where he spent two years designing drawing and pain ting 2000 square feet of win bws He says he did that job for love because you have to start somewhere and you have to be willing to sacrifice things in the beginning SENT FIVE YEARS The longest time he spent on single building was the five years it took to complete job at cathedral in Thunder Bay Although 90 per cent of Mr Goodmans commissions are from churches sometimes he designs and paints glass for res taurants and public buildings He says the cost of single window is between $400 and $1 DO depending on the com plexity and size of the design One thing affecting the cost stainedglass work is the gass itself Mr Goodman uses only im ported European antique glass The fact that it is handblown at time when glassblowers are decreasing is reflected in the price realize achieve the things they dream about and most people dont realize receive the justice they should have They see it going somewhere else That he can project this in sight so sympatheticully comes as no surprise to Abe He struggled 25 years as an actor earning living and playing some good roles but never receiving serious atten tion Abe Vigoda is not like Fish says Abe Vigoda He is an athlete+he plays hand ball he jogs two miles every day he feels like hes 25 But he understands Fish like nobody ever could He knows the meaning of what the man is going through Hes been throughit STARTED EARLY Born in New York City the son of poor tailor Vigoda says he knew he wanted to be an actor from the time he delivered some lines in fir stgrade play He continued to act wherever he could mostly in school and community productions but it wasnt un til after the Second World War that he was able to af ford training Vigoda landed his first professional acting job in 1947 and launched career that before long seemed certain of being limited to supporting roles innstage p1ays+and usually serious ones at that was always happy if could just make living at my chosen profession Vigoda recalls There were few appearances on television in the early dramatic productions and ons stint as regular supporting player for program starring Ed Wynn and Jimmy Duran te What finally turned things aroand for Vigoda was key role in the movie The Godfa ther He had never been in film before but director Fran cis Ford Coppola was looking for New York stage actors and cast Abe as Tessio the friend who betrays Don Corleone SUDDENLY IN DEMAND The movie was released in the spring of 1972 and Vigoda suddenly found himself in de mand rash of badguy roles followed in films and TV cop shows Then in 1974 guest appearance on The San dy Duncan Show brought him to the attention of the Barney Miller producers who were then casting their new series Now the wrinkled face and bushy eyebrows are known to television watchers throughout the country and Vigoda confides with disbelief that his income is at sixfigure level Of his new found fame he says with more than little of Detective Fishs caution Let us say its very plea sant and have grateful feeling about it But take it moderately He and his second wife Beatrice recently moved from modesh apartment to the 12th floor of luxury building with two swimming pools sauna and valet ser Vice But you see Im not buy ing Vigoda says with bright decidedly unFishiike smile Im still waiting to from modest apartment to spending all of it yet Another difference between actor and character+Abe Vi goda is an optimist Says he of success It happened in my middle age Its amazing So say to anyone whether youre an actor or lawyer or

does the administration not accept responsibility for what it now claims is problem namely that our wage levels are getting out of line with our main trading partner the United States The truth is that it is the lead of this government which has triggered this situation COOPERAIION VITAL On the business side there has been breakdown in con fidence The confusion the uncertainty and the in consistencies of recent years have made businessmen reluctant to invest the needed capital to ensure future productivity and prosperity The private sector can best produce and create the needed jobs
