A ro-raiding pact was signed in late August, and the USWA convention authorized a full merger. An American Mine> Mill convention is expected to follow suit, with the absorption the bigger union snatched away the 15,000-member International Nickel Company of Canada certification three years ago in a rough and expensive fight, Steel's bid for the certification covering 2,400 Falcon bridge workers subsequently fell through WON'T BE ADJUNCT "We are determined," Pros- ident Smith says, 'to maintain our Mine-Mill union in Canada, based on our Canadian constitu: tion, We don't need to be an adjunct to the steel industry or to be second-class members in the steel union, which constitu: tionally and in every other way is run from the U.S," Harvey Murphey, national vice-president and boss of the big Srittsh Columbia segment Of Mine-Mill's 90.000 Canadians adds: "We here in Canada: have no OUEEN'S PARK Provinces Left To Raise Own Money? By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--There's one ke point to watch for in the fed- eral-provincial conference cury rently underway in Ottawa, This ts whether it ends up that the provinces will have to raise most of their own money, At the last meeting some weeks ago the course seemed headed in that direction, Finance Minister Mitchell Sharp indicated to the premiers and provincial treasurer he felt they should impose their own Havennal lnnama tay sad sthes wise raise their own money. The discussion didn't go much havand thie naint And " mae not reach a point of final de- cision at this conference, But it is the most important underlying issue under discus. sion between the two levels of overnment, At question is whether we abandon what can be well des- cee as the 'begging' sys- em, This is the system under which the federal government collects most of the income taxes. and then hands back a share to the provinces. For a number of years this mes a straight hand-out proposi- ion, Recently the provinces for- mally have been establishing their own income tax rates, But this has really been very largely only a formality, For the federal government has done the collecting, and in effect has set a ceiling on the rate the provinces can impose, PREMIERS RESIST? From the tone of Mr, Sharp's proposal one would gather the finance minister would like to see an end to the masquerade this involves, One would also gather that he would like to see the provinces imposing their own taxes, And in such a way that the tax - payer knew how much he was eing taxed by whom. Whether he will be able to put across this ideal, however, is a large question, The provinces can be ex- pected to resist for at least two reasons: 1, That under the present sys- tem the taxpayer doesn't have much appreciation of how much money he actually js paying into the provinces, And also the provincial governments are get» ting a lot of credit for gome programs such as hospital insurance -- which actually are largely supported by federal money, 2. They would be faced with the possibility of perhaps one day having to set up their own tax collection machinery, which would be both complex and ex- pensive, And in view of the muddled situation regarding taxing pow: ers--which level of government can tax on what and where if the provincial leaders da want to hold out they can prob ably put up quite a battle, Particularly if Prime Min- ister Pearson is still exercising the conciliatory mood he has shown towards the provinces in the past, as on a Intention of becoming hand maidens to the Steelworkers, What the officers of Mine-Mill do in the U.S. Is their own business," Larry Sefton, director of the USWA's District 6, extending from the Quebec-Ontario border to the West Coast and taking in territory where Mine-Mill has most of its membership, said his union will continue to drive for "unity" in the metal-mining industry. "Canadian members of Mine Mill will make the final decision and I think they want: unity," he added. "The difference between here and the U.S. is that we have a national question," he adds.
