Mr. Monteith pointed out the growing public concern on the effects of chemicals and chemi- cal products used in industry and agriculture, and the grow- ing dangers of pollution, not only of water resources but of the land as well.

Of interest in connection with the visit of the railway unions was the recent appointment of J. A. "Pee" Robertson, a for- mer railway employee, to the Senate of Canada. This appointment couid cer- tainly be considered as part of a process of democratization of the Senate, since Mr. Robert- son is probably the first work- ing representative of labor to be appointed to the august posi- tion.

The issue: A proposed $16,- 000,000 merger with McNamara Corp., Canada's second largest heavy construction company. Gunnar management announced the plan Nov. 27. | Determined to block the bid is Charles LaBine, 75, director and co-founder of Gunnar, who has teamed up with the Teck- Hughes gold mining group. Equally determined to put down any effort to take over control of the company is Jo- seph LaBine, newly - elected Gunnar president and a nephew .: Charles. A new development in the al- ready confused situation came Thursday when J. H. Shepherd, a director of Gunnar, confirmed that he has resigned from the company's board. But he said there is no connection between his resignation and the takeover movements. WITH OTHER COMPANY "It is unfortunate in timing but I have discussed it with the LaBines for some time since I am already on the board of an- other construction company," he said. He said the company is Inspiration Ltd., which took over Sterling Construction Ltd. of Montreal in August. down a bid for his own personal holdings in the company. ESTIMATE HOLDINGS Bay Street sources say pres- ent holdings of Gunnar manage- ment total about 900,000 shares. To effect the merger, the sources say management would require 600,000 to 700,000 more shares. It was understood Teck- Hughes management already controls substantial blocks of Gunnar stock.
