Mr. Walker said the modern teen- ager has as many challenges as the pioneer youngster had. "To become a good citizen at home, in the community and in Can- ada is the best birthday present you can give to this great coun- try of Canada in its centennial year," he said.

Ltd., today rejected the United Automobile Workers union as their bargaining agent. Results of the vote were re- vealed just after 11 a.m. today by an official of the Ontario Labor Relations Board. The vote was held at the Hotel Gen- osha. Objections may be filed with the labor relations board within seven days. The vote follows a decertifi- cation application made by Rone ald James Roberts, an em- ployee of the company. Mr. Roberts filed with his application a petition signed by 18 persons purporting to be em- ployees of the company, ex pressing support for the appli- cation. board The labor relations 23 employees of the company were eligible to vote. The eligi- bility of four persons was challenged, and although they cast ballots, they were segre- gated pending a special ruling by the board. The UAW was certified by the labor relations board, March 14, 1966, as bargaining agent for all employees of the company except foreman, persons above the rank of foreman, office and Sales staff. Contract negotiations were un- successful and, on Sept. 7, 1966, the union called a strike. The company has not resumed pro- duction operations. Five of the 28 employees who walked off Hicker immediately engaged in icketing activities but t 18 did not, ' -- who were at work Sept. 7, an- other 23 persons who had pre- viously worked for the com- pany were laid-off for an_in- definite period in June and July because of a lack of work. The board ruled, after hearing con- flicting testimony, "that em- ployment of the 23 employees laid off in June and July (and by letter Aug. 29) was termi- nated as of the end of August 1966. These 23 persons therefore cannot be considered as em- ployees of the company. for any purpose relating to this applica- tion." The board also rejected the union's submission that the company had-"'bought" the sup- port of the 18 employees listed on the petition. The company had agreed to pay the em- ) Oe Oi i ee per cent of their wages after the plant closed. The board reported that "although the 18 employees ... have not been performing serv- ices for the company (since the strike), the very fact of their continued employment with the company does have some very real value to the company. For it is common knowledge that the occupational classifications in which most of these em- ployees were employed by the company require considerable training and skill. It is also common knowledge that persons possessing these skills are in limited supply. It is reasonable fo assume that the company « '"ipates that at some time it will be able to resume its opera: lions. In order to so, how- of these employees or persons of equivalent skills and experi- ence." The board noted that, based on evidence presented, the 18 employees had never supported the union. Board member P. J. O'Keeffe did not agree with the board's decision. He said he would dis- miss the application for decer- tification because of "the pres- ence and participation of R. H. Daniels, Jr., (son of the firm's assistant manager) in the ap- plication" and because of "the undue influence exercised by management on the applicant because of the very large finan- cial contribution made by the employer to the employees in- yolved in this application."
