Prime', bead Peace Reached At City Plant After Meeting A tentative truce has been reached between militant trade unionists and city police who clashed for three consecutive days this week at strikebound Oshawa Engineering and Weld- ing Co. Ltd. The peace treaty was official- ly announced at a 9 a.m. emer- gency meeting at city hall to- day where Mayor' Ernest Marks, Police Chief Walter Johnston and four union offi- cials talked for almost an hour. Neither non-union company employees nor 'police showed up at the plant this morning where about 40 trade unionists were picketing. By 8:30 a.m. only about eight pickets were -demonstrating peacefully. There were reports that one or two "scabs" were in the plant. Mr. Taylor called the build- up of picketing at the plant for Monday following an _ incident Friday when three women pick- Mayor Marks said in a press ; 4 conferenc' afterwards, the po- rang Pcp il ar ey ur lice will no longer be used to nee ret escort company employees through the "'line' because Chief Johnston feels it would be beyond "public safety". Albert Taylor, president of Local 222, UAW, said in an in- terview that "there is a strong possibility that we can keep the peace in Oshawa". INJUNCTION But a. threat of revived vio- lence at the plant looms on the basis of a report the company is seeking an injunction against the Local to limit picketing, bolstered by the union since a plant incident last Friday. Ten charges, three against a About 35 pickets clashed with nine policemen Monday, as op- posed to a scuffle between some 35 picketers against 20 police Tuesday. Yesterday, police laid three charges against picketers after trade unionists and police clashed again while non-union workers were attempting to enter the plant. Mr. Taylor says the company has repeatedly refused to go to the bargaining table to end the dispute over an attempt at get- ting the first union contract for about 23 striking plant work- ers, Local 222 members. vod {1 wenn sneer ITY HALL SHU Some shuffling may take place at city hall.
