WASHINGTON (CP) -- US. Labor Secretary Willard Wirtz and Paul Hall, president of the Seafarers International Union of North America, met. secretly Thursday night to discuss the question of settling the Great Lakes labor battle through a trade union trusteeship over the SIU of Canada, it. was learned today. This proposal would involve placing the SIU of Canada un- der trusteeship of a trade union body. The Canadian government is proposing to place the SIU: and other maritime unions operat- ing in the Great Lakes under a government trusteeship. Informants here said the meeting between Wirtz and Hall took place shortly after 10 p.m. after Hall had told reporters he had no plans to see Wirtz and after continuing to maintain that the U.S. labor 'department had treated the SIU shabbily in the fight by the Canadian Maritime Union (CLC) to oust the inde- pendent SIU of Canada from the lakes. The informants said Wirtz and Hall reached no clear under- standing on how such a pro- posed trade union trusteeship would function. Hall was said to have made clear he would not be com- pletely opposed to such an ap-| ' DISCUSSED FOR Sil | SIU Chief, Wirtz Hold Secret Talk Wirtz was reported to have been quietly arranged by George Meany, president of the Ameri-, can Federation of Labor-Con- gress of Industrial Organiza- tions, Hall flew back to New York today without making any dis closures on the conferencé, Even some officials on his s were not aware of the talks. There was some question among these officials whether Hall had decided to sacrifice Banks in return for retention of control over the Great Lakes, Hall has been a strong supporter of Banks but it is understood the only staff official he took to the Wirtz meeting was a man who had been critical of Banks, The Canadian government has given notice it will seek le lation to place the Canadian SIU and other Canadian marl. time unions under a govertie ment-directed trusteeship in line with recommendations by Mr, Justice T. G. Norris that the Canadian SIU is under corrupt leadership and should be cleaned up.

Wirtz was reported as having, given Hall his ideas of how such a non-government _ trusteeship should function and Hall gave his views. Informants said there was an understanding that Wirtz would get in touch with Cana- dian labor minister Allan J.
