Six Provinces Cali Packinghouso Strlko Illegal

(Dy The Canadian Irena) With the two-weeks-old wages strike of pnckinghouse workers declared illegal by six Provinces and with the Prince Edward Island Government prepared to take over that Provinces one strike-bound plant Tuesday, 70 Charlottetown strikers announced flatly that they will not go back to work at their old rates.

The P. E. I. seizure announce- ment came soon after a confer- ence of Provincial Government representatives in Toronto agreed, with Saskatchewan dissenting. that the strike is “illegal in that it violates provincial law." Prince Edward Island was represented only by an observer.

Meantime, union director Fred Dowllng announced that 21 inde- pendent local unions would take strike votes this week over wage demands similar to those of U. P. W. A. locals. Affected will be three plants in British Columbia. one in Albeta, three in Saskatch- ewan, elght in Manitoba and six in Ontario.

Following the Toronto confer- ence. Labor Minister Smith of Manitoba issued a statement which said that New Brunswick, Manitoba and Alberta had united with Saskatchewan in suggesting that I... W. Brockington of Ottawa be named as 1 9e on. anti .. ator» to‘ trike-and‘. ‘e str‘ ; call- ed by the United Packinghouse Workers to enforce demands for wage increases averaging 17 cents an hour.

The statement also said that British Columbia also agreed in principle to the suggestion of a common carrier although British

Columbia was not named as con- curring in the Brockington nomi- nation. .

It thus appeared that Ontario and Quebec were unwilling to accept the proposal that one con- ciliator act for all.

Premier McNalr of New Bruns- wick said last night that his Pro- vince was not considering taking over its only strikebound meat plant, that of Swift Canadian Co. Ltd. at Moncton.

Strike Situation ls Unchanged By Gov’t Action 0n Saturday

Members of the local union of the striking United Packinghouse Workers of America will not go to work for the Provincial Govern- ment unless they are granted the increase cf 82 cents an hour de- manded by their national organ- ization, T. R. Jones’ secretary of Inca] 382, United Packinghouse Workers of America, informed the Guardian last night.

He said the passing by the Pro- vincial Government lsst Saturday morning of an order-in-council taking over the Charlottetown meat-packing plant of Canada Packers Ltd., left the situation as ii; was before so far as the strik- ing workers were concerned.

Premier J. \ alter Jones, asked last night what action the Gov- ernment proposed to take in light of the new development, had no direct reply to make other than to say: "I think the people of the Province can trust the Govern- ment."

Shortly before midnight last Thursday, the Provincial Govern- ment issued an order-in-council offering the striking Charlotte- town packinghouse workers the usual wages paid at the local plant plus 50 cents for each hog slaughtered within the next three weeks. After consultation with the headquarters of the packinghouse workers union in Toronto, ‘the

(By The Associated Prell) ‘I'm-IRAN, Seph- 28—Premier Ahmed Qavam stalked out of Parliament today under a stinging attack by an Azerbaijan deputy who assailed a proposed oil pact with the Russians as "the worst agreement in the past 100 years of Iranian history."

Emami Ahari of Azerbaijan said the Iranian people would not a- gree to Russian exploitation of the northern province “even if they are killed one by one." Abbas Massoudi, Tehran deputy, who is publisher of the semi-offi- cial newspaper Etteloat, threaten- ed to present in the Majlls (par- liament) a bill calling for form- ation of a 100 per cent Iranian company for oil exploitation. Qavam negotiated with the Russians in ISAC-when Russian troops were still in Azerbaijan- concerning formation of a Russo- I Iranian oil company to exploit oii' possibilities in the province, which borders on Russia. Any agreement must be ratified by parliament before it can be implemented.
