"T know that Paul Hall would be opposed to such a trustee- ship, We believe that what you! see here in the Norris report is something started by the Cana- dian Labor Congress to take over the waterfront. The CLC leaders are to blame for this, but we are not giving up the fight." | A U.S. labor department} spokesman said both Secretary! Wirtz and Mr, Meany would be €- too busy to concentrate on the Canadian for weeks, The Canadian Maritime Un. ion, which was set up by the CLC to oppose the STU, does not expect its,arch-rival to submit to regulation without a struggle "The SIU is not a trade un- ion, it's a hoodlum empire," CMU President Jack Staples said Port Colborne, Ont "It isn't going to quietly pack its bags and leave. This a lucrative business for them." He said he would support the proposal for a single maritime union, as long as it was con- trolled by Canada and. included no traces of STU influe nce But both Mr Staples and David Archer, sident + the Ontario Federation of Labor (CLC), had serious qualms about the trusteeship "I'd like to how ogi control this board jis going jhave later on and how ah authority it will have in trying integrate the unions,"' Mr.!
