UAW STRIKE DATE LIKELY DELAYED TO NEW YEAR DETROIT (AP) -- The United Auto Workers appeared today to be planning to "delay possible strike against General Motors Corp. until after the Christmas and New Year's holidays. The strategy was outlined at a closed door session of the un- ion's 300 member GM council representing some 380,000 work. ers of the world's largest auto- maker \ source said that Leonard Woodcock, UAW vice-president and director of its GM depart- ment, told the delegates Dec. 14 would be designated as a "tar- get date" for a new three-year contract with GM. Woodcock is reported to have stressed that the target date for settlement is not the same as a strike deadline. _ Observers believe that the un- ion's strategy is aimed at keep- ing workers onthe job until next year so they' will not Inse several million dollars in holi- day pay. Several delegates expressed objections to. the plan. The UAW and General Motors resumed negotiations on a new contract this week for the first time since Oct. 31. General Motors has indicated it is willing to write a contract with the UN that is within the limits of the economic agree- ment won for the union's 160,000 members at Ford Motor Co. and 103,000 at Chrysler Corp. Whether or not the union Makes any special demands on GM could be a key factor in causing a strike. One company source said that if the union goes for any "frost- ing" on the cake at GM, "'it will be in for a big fight." The union told the company Monday that what it called "erosion of the bargaining unit'"" by moving automated jobs out of union jurisdiction will be an important issue. Representation, specifically the company requirement that union committee men work at least an hour a day on their reg- ular jobs, is also expected to cause trouble. The union represents 380,000 workers at GM. A strike at the Detroit univer- sal division of Chrysler was averted Thursday night with a tentative agreement on local is- sues, A strike deadline set for this morning was withdrawn pending expected ratification of the contract. The 26-member UAW execu- tive board emerged from a 5\4- hour meeting Thursday with not a word of comment on what had happened at the gathering at the union's Detroit headquar- ters. There have been reports that the UAW boycott of the AFL- ClO convention at Miami Beach, Fla., next week would be the next step in a running feud between UAW President Walter P. Reuther and federa- tion President George Meany. Reuther is expected to use the GM negotiations as an excuse for not attending the convention, - Reuther has not been to Gen- eral Motors since July 10, when the 1967 bargaining began, but he usually participates in the final bargaining. In Miami Beach, Paul Hall, president of the labor federa- tion's maritime trades depart. ment, said Thursday it would be "regrettable'" if Reuther doesn't show up, and "'shameful" if he pulls his 1,500,000-member union out of the AFL-CIO.

Mr. Cameron, MP for Nanai- mo-Cowichan-The Islands and his party's chief financial ex- pert, told reporters outside the House he was disappointed that Mr. Sharp had apparently royal commission on taxation "down the drain."" The Carter report had decided properly that people should pay taxes according to their finan- cial ability. But the minister had decided to do nothing about it.

Finance Minister Sharp an- nounced the increases in his budget speech Thursday night as part of the government's anti-inflation program. The surcharge affects five of every six Canadians paying in- come tax. The other increases affect everyone who smokes or drinks. More tax increases appear to lie ahead. The minister said tax will be to fi- nance medical care insurance due to come into effect next July 1. The speech also sounded the death knell for the radical tax- system changes proposed in the Carter royal commission report on taxation. Instead, Mr. Sharp said the present tax system ,will be reformed. Presenting his fourth budget in less than two years, the min- ister made it clear that the gov- ernment is more concerned about the danger of inflation than about any economic slow- down that might result from tax increases.
