sd DETROIT (AP) -- Skilled tradesmen have ratified a labor contract. with Chrysler Corp. ending fears they might block the agreement through their mi- nority veto power in the United Auto Workers union. The 12,000 tradesmen Friday night accepted the agreement by a slim margin of about 55 per cent, the UAW said. Ear- lier, the union's 83,000 produc- tion-line workers at Chrysler ap- proved the three-year-pact by a reported 70-per-cent vote. The union won wage parity for Canadian workers in the agreement. It will be granted gradually during the life of the pact Balloting by the tradesmen was "nip and tuck,' a UAW spokesman said. He said skilled workers at 24 UAW locals across the U.S. ratified the pact and eight locals rejected it, with votes still to be counted in two remaining units. "Outcome of the ratification cannot be changed by the two locals whose members have not yet voted,"' said Dguglas A. Fraser, chief UAW negotiator at SLER PACT SQUEAKS Chrysler, in a statement an- nouncing the ratification. CHRYSLER SATISFIED John D. Leary, Chrysler vice- president for administration, said company officials were pleased with the ratification. The tradesmen's veto power, gained earlier this year, is ex- pected to be a questionable ele- ment again negotiations with the auto industry giant, General Motors Corp. GM is the next target of the UAW for a contract to replace the one which expired Sept. 6. The union has been working without a labor pact at GM while negotiating first with Ford Motor Co., second largest auto- maker, and then with Chrysler. BY SKILLEI Many dissident leaders of the skilled tradesmen demanded wage increases of up to $1 an hour, saying they were needed to keep pace with similar work- ers outside the auto industry, The skilled tradesmen include millwrights, electricians, plumbers and tool-and-die mak- ers The Chrysler settlement, simi- lar to that at ford, gave skilled workers pay increases of 50 cents hourly the first. year, with three per cent increases in each of the next two years. Production workers won pay increases of 20 cents hourly the first year, plus three-per-cent boosts in each of the next tyo years Veg or Under the old contracts, the average industry worker was paid $3.41 an hour in straight time wages. The UAW was on strike at Ford for 50 days to win its con- tract for 160,000 workers there. The Chrysler agreement narrow- ly averted a companywide strike, although local disputes shut some plants for awhile Pegsad " Home Newspaper Of Oshawa, Whitby, Bowman- ville, Ajax, Pickering and neighboring centres in Ont- ario and Durham Counties.

Former Conservative leader John Diefenbaker and Mr. Starr ') were two of the' prominent speakers to the weekend meet- ing which attracted some 1,000 delegates, celebrating their rise to power 50 years ago. In the parade of Soviet military might and scientific achievement there was scarcely a mention by the news media of genocide, the rape:of freedom in smaller nations, abolition of Christian. ity, forced. labér and decima- fion by starvation, all meas ures deemed necessary to the security of the Soviet system, of serving gime. Would we be here today if that were true?" Mr. Starr asked, "Would people of Ukrainian stock have travelled here to New York from the four cor- ners of the earth to testify for political freedom if their native country and fellow countrymen were not still in bondage?" He said the delegates were step philosophy of the Tartars, the Ivans, the Peters and the Catha- rines, No Tsar was ever more absolute than the men in the Kremlin today.
