INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION Oshawa Industrial Commis- sion, instituted by city council, held its first meeting July 15, 1955 and Ald, Joseph Victor was ward H. Lombardi replied for R Union Favors Strike Action More than 7,000 Oshawa em-|noon negotiations break down. Members of Local 222, United Auto Workers' Union of Ameri- ca, jammed into the auditorium for a one and one-half hour meeting that started at 2 p.m. The rally was one of seven the union called yesterday for bargaining units at as many GM plant sites in Ontario and Quebec. Albert Taylor, president of Local 222, said in an interview today the over all Canadian vote favored by 96.8 per cent strike action if necessary to back union demands in con- tract negotiations. Mr. Taylor said the percent- age of voting in favor of strike action in Oshawa was closer to 100 per cent. UAW master and local agree- ments expire at the end of this month and Mr. Taylor says it will be up to GM to avert a strike by giving the union what it is demanding. Canadian demands include wage parity with auto workers in the United States. | "We are prepared to work as long as possible and as many days as necessary to try and reach an agreement short of a strike situation," Mr. Tay- lor said. TALKS RESUME Meanwhile, talks on a local corporation if current contract|ations. "No worker really strike. Nor does the leadership. However, when situations such as were expressed at yester- day's meeting exist then there may be no other way out." Mr. Taylor said there was an additional air of dissension at the meeting because GM is "overworking employees to try and break down the morale of the membership in general." "It should be: made clear to GM that the workers' demands for equity at the bargaining table must be met, and we hope GM realizes the workers are dead serious by their ac- tion (yesterday) to back up the leadership," Mr. Taylor said He. said if GM does not under- stand the implication of yester- day's meeting it would indicate the corporation is "looking for a_ strike." Mr. Taylor said grave con- cern was shown for many items that are subject to bargaining, but in particular, one union pro- posal for a guaranteed annual income. "The workers feel they are every bit as good as a big shot who receives his pay on a salary and annual basis. Another union official says a motion centred along the line of discontinuing overtime work within the GM plant in Oshawa was "raised, discussed and left in the hands of the top negotiat- ing committee (of Local 222)" agreement for Local 222 were scheduled to resume this after- for implementation "when and where it is deemed necessary." Night classes in Oshawa high schools start tonight, but, ac- cording to superintendent of secondary schools' G. L. Rob- erts, a number of classes at Central and R. S. McLaughlin collegiates are not filled and may have to be discontinued. He said to make the night school classes economically fea- sible, a minimum enrolment of 15 is needed. Total enrolment in the five Oshawa high schools is expected to exceed 2,500, with more than half enrolled at . §. McLaughlin Collegiate. 'Central Collegiate should leave an enrolment of about 300. H. E. Murphy, principal of Central, said there were three courses with low enrolment which were in danger of being discontinued.

Conversational French is also low. One class which has been surprisingly popular at Central is English for new Canadians. Three classes have been add- ed this year, and enrolment could reach 170, Mr. Murphy said. St. T. Finbow, principal at McLaughlin, said, "'some of the courses are down, but over-all the situation looks good."

Just over three hours later, officers went to Evans' home with a search warrant and ar- rested the youth, said Detec- tive Sergeant Kenneth Young of Oshawa police, who has been leading the investigations. Evans was charged with the illegal possession of marijuana |Ontario Provincial Police. | Sgt. Young said the probe would continue, with a three- or four-man team to try and wipe out the "widespread" use of the drug in the city. The marijuana was coming out of Toronto and it seemed youngsters were obtaining it themselves, not through a "fence," The detective appealed to parents to help stamp out the drug menace by noticing any changes in the reactions of be- havior of their youngsters in the home. Meanwhile, 'the RCMP will for the purpose of trafficking and released on $2,000 bail. An undercover survey of drug - trafficking among young- sters by Oshawa city police has revealed evidence of the men- ace among high school students. But the news has been no surprise to the city's school principals who were informed of the investigations. "It doesn't surprise me really after what we've read about what's going on in Toronto but I would be surprised if there was any 'widespread trafficking handle the prosecution of the jtwo cases now pending.

Stanley Finbow, principal of McLaughlin Collegiate and Vo- cational Institute, said he de- plored any suggestion of the use of drugs both as a school principal and a citizen, -- "The police have obviously done an excellent job in this investigation, but it doesn't sur- prise me in a community of this size."
