For a time it was feared that the strike would force the dis- missal of about 2,000 construc- tion workers. About 30 tons of cement is needed every 15 min- utes of the projects. The SIU members are seek- ing contracts which would give them a 40-hour week, the cut- ting out of a work spread which requires them to stand by on board ship for 24 hours while off duty and wage and fringe benefit increases.

(CP)--A coroner's jury investigating the death of an escaper from Bur- wash Industrial Farm recom- mended Thursday that inmates in provincial and federal jails have d at the same rate. The jury found the death of Francis Alphonse Ouimette, 19, of Malton, was caused by drowning due to exhaustion while escaping from Burwash. He escaped alone July 11, His employees, including grain han diers, had been laid off. Mr. Anderson said, however, that package freight moved by Canada Steamship Lines Ltd. and Clarke Steamships Ltd., two of the biggest carriers to the Maritimes, have been halt- ed, but that fhis is just a small proportion of Montreal's busi- ness.

Causes Premature! Lay-ofts MONTREAL (CP) -- The 'world's fair is being acclaimed everywhere as a tremendous|i tragic) d success but there is a side to the ture dismissal of em: who had expected to hol jobs until the fair closes. The majority of the employ- ees given notices that their jobs' have come to an end were among those hired in the spring at the opening April 27 of the six-month world exhibition in which 61 countries are partici- pating. They are among the 5,000 employees hired directly by the Canadian Corporation for the 1967 World Exhibition--com- monly referred to as Expo 67-- and most of them are not happy with the turn of events. Expo officials have described the process of releasing employees as a "'phasing out" program which means saving money for Expo if you're on one side of the fence and finan- cial embarrassment if you are on the other side. EMPLOYEES SURPRISED. The employees affected were surprised by the phasing-out program when it was announced several weeks ago because everyone had expected to stay on the Expo payroll until closing time at the end of October. In fact, prospective employ- ees had been told before being hired that they would have to be prepared to work until the end of Expo if they papeetot employment. | The initial stage of the phas- btn program began Thurs- day, with about 200 salaried Expo Gaara scheduled to be phased out by Sept. 30. prema- empl 4 will be phased poy loyees D October, including about 250 hostesses. their/tr vailable understan! working at time, xpo until closin leaving them with lots of tim to see Expo provided they: pa' regular admissions, . out have for jobs But what seems to hurt the worst is that their Expo passes are being taken eway from them as their jobs terminate-- achieved. & Of 480 candidates for a new '60-seat Senate, only 72 live out- 'side Saigon. or its suburbs.
