Relations By ROBERT RICE OTTAWA (CP)--A big, barrel- chested man from lowa embroiled Canada and the United States in a Great Lakes labor crisis that may force a showdown between the two countries. Hal Chamberlain Banks, 54, ex-convict, sailor, labor organ- izer and leader since 1949 of the Seafarers' International Un- ion of Canada, is at the centre of an international web of pol- itics, intrigue, violence and con- troversy. Because of him, relations be- tween Canada and the U.S. haye been inflamed. The Canadian government is taking the unprecedented step of imposing a federal trustee- ship on the Canadian SIU and four other marine unions rep- resenting 22,000 Canadian sail- ors, engineers and deck offi- cers. Parliament has approved leg- islation empowering the govern- ment to!take over and control all operations of the five unions. Proclamation by the cabniet, a step that can be taken quickly or withheld indefinitely, still is needed, PLAN DEMONSTRATION Meantime, Ottawa itself for a mass demonstration Monday against the legislation by SIU members who began leaving their ships Friday for . ' gad march on Parliament ill. While the Great Lakes crisis revolves around Banks, Ottawa observers see these disturbing implications: 1. A failure by the AFL-CI te acknowledge the autonomy its counterpart, the 1,050,000- member Canadian Labor Con- gress, in dealing with Canadian union matters. 2. Danger of the rift between the AFL-CIO and the CLC widening into open conflict, with U.S. unions boycotting Ca- nadian ships in opposition to the trusteeshp and Canadian labor braced/ |retaliating by shutting the St.;Judge Norris suggested - its Lawrence Seaway to U.S. ships.jmain job would be to dismiss 3.
