Members of Local 6571, United Steelworkers of America, voted 80 per cent in favor last week of accepting the contract ham- mered out in conciliation pro- ceedings at Toronto. Keith Ross, international rep- resentative and chief union bar- gaining man in contract talks, estimated today that the nego- tiated agreement will cost LASCO, about .78 cents an hour (per man). The threat of a strike was re- moved last Friday as he recom- mended, along with other bar- gaining officials, that the mem- bership approve the package deal which gives all workers a .20-cent-an-hour increase dated back to Feb. 28. The old two-year contract ex- pired then. Under the initial wage crease, the new low rate will be $2.35 an hour and the high, $3.60 Effective March 3, 1968, there will be a minimum increase of three cents an hour. Additional- ly,,a co-operative wage study program between the company and union goes into effect. It will involve job-evaluation to establish future rates for each LASCO. job in proper relation with one another. in-} On: March 2, 1969, another minimum raise of .10 cents an hour will be applied in connec- tion with the CWS program which by then will be setting a 7.7 cents an hour difference be- tween working classifications. At the outset of the CWS pro- gram, March 3, next year, the allowance between classifica- tions will be 7.5 cents. Mr. Ross says the 7.7 difference will be three cents lower than the classification Company of Canada works in Hamilton -- where steelworkers enjoy one of the richest con- tracts in America. PREMIUMS LASCO workers have also won a two-cent-an-hour increase in afternoon and night shift pre- miums, bringing them to nine cents and 11 cents respectively. A Sunday-work premium has been increased from .15 cents an hour to .25 cents. The company now will pay 75 |per cent of a welfare program, while the workers foot the balance, Under the last agree- ment, it was a 50-50 split. The old agreement amounted to a low pay of $2.15 an hour and a high of $3.40. Mr. Ross says he could not begin to esti- mate theyhigh under the new cofitract because the CWS pro- gram will play a prominent part in the juggling of wages.

(Staff) -- Bowmanville Provincial Police are investigating an assault and attempted robbery after a "good Samaritan" reported the incident Saturday night. Ralph Cochrane, 21, of RR 2, Burketon, told police he was driving east on the 4th Con- session of Clarke Township, east of Highway 35, when he Saw a person lying in the ditch on the roadside. He stopped to give assistance, and was pulled out of the car by a second person who suddenly appeared. Mr, Cochrane said the man lying down then got up and went to the other side of his car. Cochrane was then as- saulted and ordered to give his money to the two men. Police were informed that Mr. Cochrane threw his wallet into his car and managed to escape with some of his cloth- ing torn.

City Should WHITBY (Staff) "East Whitby Township, in my opin- ion, is dying as a result of the southern part being annexed by Oshawa," said Mayor Desmond Newman of Whitby, at a Whitby Township Ratepayers' Association meeting Sunday. About 100 persons attended the public meeting at Dr. Rob- ert Thornton School, Garrard Road, at which the association attempted to acquire informa- tion on the proposed amalga- mation of Whitby and Whitby Township. Mayor Newman, in his refer- ence to East Whitby Township, drew a parallel between the case of that township, and the "corridor area" of Whitby |Township, (the southern part of {the township, mainly industrial land, bordering on Lake On- |tario from Oshawa to Whitby). "Oshawa can't afford to annex the whole of Whitby |Township,' said Mayor New- |man; "and they are only inter- Jested in the 'corridor area' as lit is the only piece of land in \the township with any potential jright now." | "Oshawa," said Mayor New- {man, "should. have more re- sponsibility for the northern part of East Whitby Township." (Oshawa annexed the southern portion in 1951.) DENIAL Told by Robert White, rate- payer's association spokesman, that Whitby needs Whitby town- ship in order to develop, the mayor denied the allegation. "The township needs us," |said Mayor Newman.

Mayor Newman said regional government in the area is pre- mature and will not come for five to 10 years, at which time the county may be re-aligned or a larger government formed. "And you must realize," said Mr. Newman, "that when it is so difficult for two well-match- ed municipalities to join to gether, it's going to be a lot harder to unite six," Mayor Newman told the rate- payer's association that infor- mation will be made public as |soon as it is available. | In Whitby Township council, only Reeve Heber Down and Councillor James P. Brady have publicly spoken in favor of public meetings with rate- |payers to inform them of pro- jgress in the amalgamation.
