The claim is contained in a notice the union filed Monday with the Supreme Court. The union is. seeking leave to appeal decisions by Quebec courts which allowed the Moun- ties to search SIU headquarters in Montreal last August. The motion will be heard Jan. 25, . Tt ind time in jess ifan year the has come to union headquarters armed with a search warrant, the SIU said. About 1,000 docu- ments were taken on its first visit, the union says.

Here is what the mayor rec- ommended as alternatives to a negotiated settlement: That the mediators make spe- cific recommendations for a sete tlement that a fact-finding com- mission be appointed to study, the dispute and make recome mendations; or that new proce+ dures be adopted, such as ad- visory or binding arbitration. Lindsay coupled the last two alternatives with a recommen- dation that the strikers return te work pending final settlement. Lindsay called the walkout an iliegai sirike.
