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

icy is altogether too glib an ans-
wer to the problems besetting the

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.

The lightning knocked off the

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

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

icy is altogether too glib an ans-
wer to the problems besetting the

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.

escaped injury - when lightning
ripped through her home during
a storm on Friday.
Extensive damage from chim-
ney to cellar was caused to the

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

Although they could scarcely
