    TORONTO (CP)—A major im-
    pact on the Canadian economy is
    likely to result if wage increases
    are won in a labor dispute at the
    Steel Company of Canada plant
    at nearby Hamilton.

    How? The résulting effect on
    the recession is viewed differ-
    ently from opposite sides of the
    fence.

    The United Steelworkers of

    America (CLC) argues that
    higher wages would mean. in-
    creased spending power to ease
    the recession.
    Steleo angues that higher. wages
    would mean higher prices which
    in turn would mean reduced con-
    sumer spending.

    Both appear to be standing
    firm.

    With last-ditch talks scheduled
    for Monday by Ontario Labor
    Mister ‘Charles Daley, the com-
    pany has offered to extend the
    old two '- year contract with its

    average wage of $2.30 an hour

    and . the ' plant’s 8,000 workers
    have set a strike deadline of 7
    a.m. Tuesday to back their de.
    mands for a package 33-cent-an-
    hour increase. 5

    CHIEF PRODUCER

    Stelco is the leader in the Ca-
    nadian steel industry, producing
    46 per cent of an annual produc-
    tion estimaited at 4,350,000 tons
    Ns _Worth ‘more than $550,000,-

    Steleo’s labor contract usually
    sets the! pattern for negotiations
    at the two other major plants,
    Algoma Steel Corporation Lim-
    ited in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont.,
    and Dominion Steel and’ Coal
    Corporation in Sydney, N,S,

    In addition, Steleo has already
    announced wage increases would
    “call for consideration of an in-
    crease in steel prices’ and any
    increases could ‘filter down to a
    host of items ranging from cars
    to crankicases.

    The company’s position has
    won support from two members
    of a three-man conciliation board.
    In a ‘majority report released a
    ago, they recommended
    against wage increases at the
    Hamilton plant.

    The report said: “Tt would be
    detrimental to Stelco employ-
    ees and the economy to increase
    employment Poi a year of
    recession and un loyment.

    The minority report, signed by
    union yominee Andrew Andras of
    Ottawa, recommended a 25- cent
    increase for a two-year contract

    “The so-called hold-the-line pol-
    icy is altogether too glib an ans-
    wer to the problems besetting the

    In. its submission to the concil-|.
    dation board, Stelico said:

    Shower Held For!
    Mr..&-Mrs, Brown}

    the R.C.A.F. and stationed with a

    duction of virtually everything
    used by modern society at all
    levels, the effect of a further
    wage-price spiral in the’ steel in-
    dustry would be all-pervasive and
    highly inflationary.

    “In a very real sense, there-
    fore, the secondary industries of
    Canada together with all other
    Canadians, are looking over our
    shoulders in these proceedings,’
    Stelco argued that steel prices
    had risen: 48 per cent since 1949
    while wages rose 89 per cent. In
    the United States during the
    same period, prices had risen’ 61
    per cent and wages 68 per cent.
    EARNINGS LAGGED

    The union countered by claim-
    ing that earnings have lagged be-
    hind output, with production per
    man-hour rising 228.5 per cent in

    Steel Hike Might Have
    Big Effect On Economy

    a 10-year period while wagesircse
    136.5 per cent.

    The union also contended that
    much of Stelco’s big post-war ex-
    pansion has been at the expense
    of labor and the consumer. Stel-
    co’s steel - making capacity has
    been increased by 1,240,000 tons;
    production last year was 2,178,215
    tons at 92.6 per cent of capacity
    and during the first quarter of
    1958 was 90 per cent of capacity.

    Sielco had sales of $275,000,000
    last year. Its tax bill was $21,000,-
    000 and employment costs $76,-
    000,000. Cost of the wage in-
    creases proposed by the union
    would be nearly- $6,000,000.

    Stelco’s last strike — its only
    major one—was in 1946 when a
    country - wide walkout by 36,000
    workers ended after 81 days with
    a 13-cent-an-hour inerease.

    A break at the Canada Packers

    A Carleton woman, Mrs. John
    Stewart, and two grandchildren
    escaped injury - when lightning
    ripped through her home during
    a storm on Friday.

    Extensive damage from chim-
    ney to cellar was caused to the
    home located’ between Borden
    and Seven Mile Bay districts.

    The lightning knocked off the
    top of the chimney, ripped a
    path through shingles on the roof,
    splintered a rafter, smashed out
    windows in one end of tthe house,
    raced through several rooms
    tearing paper and plaster from
    three; ripped the stove pipe from
    the chimney, tore a large hole in
    a fur coat and melted buttons on

    Carleton Residents Escape
    As Lightning Rips Up House

    another coat hanking in. the same
    closet, and goughed a hole in a
    hard wood floor at ground level.

    Mrs. Stewart, together with a
    young grand-daughter and a baby
    grandson, were alone in the
    house,and while they .momen-
    tarily appeared to be enveloped
    in a ball of fire when the lightn-
    ing struck, they felt no heat from
    the blast, and escaped. any injury
    apart from the shock of the ex-
    perience.

    Although they could scarcely
    see through the thick haze that
    was throughout the house im-
    mediately after, no fire resulted

    despite the extensive damage
    that was done by the lightning.

    Group Captain J;' E. Creeper,
    who took ever command of RCAF
    Station Summerside on Wednes-
    day, held his first press confer-
    ence with Island newsmen on
    Friday afternoon.

    The new commanding officer,
    who with his wife and family
    have taken up residence in Sle-
    mon Park, expressed hope and
    pledged his co-operation in con-
    tinuing the very excellent relat-
    ionship between the RCAF stat-
    ion and the people of this pro-
    vince.

    In informal discussion with
    newsmen, group captain Creeper
    declined to reveal when the first
    Argus aircraft would begin to be
    based at Summerside, but indica-
    ted that the need for new hangar
    construction planned for the
    Summerside air station is one of
    the factors that has to. be con-
    sidered,

    According to previous annbunce-
    ments, tenders for the corstruct-
    ion new hangar facilities
    should be called for soon.

    Summerside in the training role

    of Maritime operational training,
    has gained in importance as the
    threat from potential enemy
    submarines has inereased, and
    the’ location of the: Summerside
    station, together with the modern
    anti-submarine hunting improve-
    ments made in aireraft detection
    and destruction devices, gives
    the Summerside station the flex-
    ible ability to eover a wide area
    of the Atlantic Ocean in a ‘pos.
    sible wartime role of. protecting
    shipping -and destroying enemy
    submarines. ‘

    Group Captain Creeper who
    came here from Norfolk, Virginia

    viously was stationed at Sum-
    merside from August 1954 to

    admiration on the progressive
    improvements ‘that have since
    taken place in appearance, both
    at the Summerside air __ station
    and throughout P.E.I.

    On the excellent record of
    flight safety in this operational
    training unit station which he’
    now commands, Group Captain
    Creeper said that the ‘outstanding
    calibre of RCAF personnel doing
    check-out and training, is reflect-
    ed in the fact. that there has
    never yet been a fatal crash of
    any kind since the O.T.U. has
