Little Progress Being l Made In Settlement ‘ Of Steel Strike ‘

(By Jack Williams, Canadian . Press Staff Writer) <

OTTAWA. Aug. 7—(CP)— Pat Conroy, chairman of the Canadian Congress of Labor wage commit- tee, said today he was satisfied Canadian industry could meet wage . increases of l5 cents-an-hour and‘ still leave a reasonable margin of profit.

Undergoing questioning as a witness before the Commons II'I'l dustrlal Relations Committee Mr. Conroy was asked point blank by Arthur Smith (PC-Calgary Wcsth whether he would asfﬂe l0 l-dVISP, men to go back lo work for a 10-; cent increase with assurance that. the situation would be reviewed.‘ at the parliamentary committee in; February. ‘ ‘ Mr. Conroy said the question,‘ possibly unintentionally. put labor‘ on the spot. Labor was tired of “one-sided guarantees" and he saw no reason why industry could not meet "a ls-cent increase.

The close secrecy Mr. Brocking- ton has imposed continue. but there were unofficial repor that little progress was being made in bridging the gap between the 10- cent increase proposed by the gov- ernment and offered. by Stelco at Hamilton and the l6 1-2 cents. with possible future increases if living costs increased, asked by the union. '

Sharp Criticism

Questioning of Mr. Conroy fol- lowed his presentation of a brief which contained shar criticism of Dcnald Gordon. rices Board chairman. for maintaining silence on the effect of higher wages on price control until a strike had actually taken place.

No suggestion of the figure at which a settlement should be made in the steel dispute and in other strikes which involve about 50.- 000 workers, was made in Mr. Conroy's brief.

His support for lﬁ-cent increas- es came when Mr. Smith asked him if he would not advise strikers to go back to their jobs with a IO-cent increase in steel and such differences in other industries as might be warranted. He suggest- ed that lf the situation were re- viewed in five or six Months by the committee conditions would be greatly clarified. '

Mr. Conroy said it did not fol- low that there would be a clar- lficati-on.

"I am trying to find some place today where we can get th vliheeés of industry turning." said

extract ,from a letter the C. C. L. had written the government in January urging adoption of a wage policy allowing l0-cent in- creases as the means most likely to avoid In Canada the labor dlS- turbances prevalent in the United States. -'

“That prophecy came true." Mr. Conroy commented.

"Apart from the fact that I haven't the ﬂower to send anyone back to wor acid while I admit that my advice might be respected. the appearance in the press to- morrow of the question you are putting to me, despite the pos- slble good intentions. is putting labor on the spot. We are not go- ing to be put on the spot.

“A IO-omt-an-hour voluntary offer in January would have been accepted by 95 per cent zrf the unions and we wouldn't have had three etrikes, production would have been rising and instead ui a possible break in the price line the tendency would have been the other wary because of more ‘om- modltlea being on the market. Our suggestion was not only not listened to. but treated with some contempt."

Both Mr. Gordon and Acting Finance Minister Abbott. who ~up- ported the Prices Board chairman,

ad been "going on hunches" and had failed to support their argu- ments with a single figure.

“At least 16 cenls can be paid and rofits maintained on a reas- onabe basis." Mr. Conroy said.

Reconstruction Minister Howe said- by insisting on uniform wages the Canadian steel industry la- bor was failing to take into ac- count the wide differences in the financial position o-f the compon- ies. particularly Dosco at Sydney.

Mr. Conroy said Dosco had been supported to a considerable de- sree by public funds.

The quicker ilie government takes over the plant the better," he said. "If we are going to pay the shot we should have some- thing to say about how it is run."

Mr. Conroy said he supported the idea of industrial councils as a means of getting employers and Emilio es together ln their com- mon nterest.

The relatl merits of different labor organ ations was discussed when Rev. Dan McIvor (ls-Fort William) referred to estimatis that the American Federation of Labor had gained 81.000.000.000 in wages increases for American workers without a strike while the C. I. O. had called strikes and cost the workers $750,000,000.

“Had it not been for the drive of the 0.1.0. the AIL. would have had to go on strike as well," said Mr. Conroy whose congress in- cludes 0.1.0. unions.

At an early stage of the quel- tioning P. ll. Cote (L-Verdunl asked for Mr. Conroy's views on a peacetime national labor code. Mr. Conroy said he thought the Federal Government should spon- sor such legislation leaving it to the rovinces to pass enabling legis arfron. It was likely that eventually all. grovinces would adopt the code. tron est opposi- tion hsd coma from uebec.

Mr. Conroy in his main brief had pointed criticism o-f the atti- tude adopted by Donald Gordon. Prices Board chairman. both before and since the steel strike. Mr. Conroy said Mr. Gordon had told labor representatives that. while there was something for them in the increase of $6 a ton allowed in steel rlces April 1. he gave no informaton on what the amount “'85.

The C. C. L committee made three main recommendations - establishment of a peacetime na- tional labor code, formation of industrial councils in basic inclus- tries and expansion of research facilities to make more informa- tion available to labor.

The C. C. l... official also had some comments on the report of Mr. Justice W-D. Roach, corri- mlssioner in the steel is to. who had described the nat'onal advlsor committee of the United Steel orkers of America us an "oligarchy" and “undemocratic?

"The report of Mr. Justice Roach is a hail one." Mr. Conroy said. "It is an unbalanced one for it condemns the union with u ‘inc abandon, using evidence sup lled him by the Steel Co. of Cana a to bolster its there it ls, from a judicial mind. one of the most biased and anti-labor documents that any labor com- missioner ever put on the record."
