Nearing The Boiling Point

By BEN WARD

OTTAWA 'CPi—A long-sim- mering labor feud linked to the upsurge of nationalism in Que- bec broke into the open in 1964 and may come to a boil in the months ahea

Antagonists are the Canadian Labor Congress, with 1.106.000 affiliated members across the country. and the Confederation of Na ional Trade Unions (CNTU! which has a member- ship of 121,500 concentrated in Quebec. i

There has been an uneasy re-‘ Iationship between the two bo- dies for several years because of membership raiding. The Quebec Federation of Labor. representing the CLC's 235,000 members in that province. be- came concerned this year about a sharp upswing in CNTU raid- ing activity.

Three months ago presidents Claude Jodoin of the CLC and Jean Marchand of the CNTU traded sharp attacks on each

public evidence of the conflict.

Mr. Jodoin, without mention- ing the CNTU by name, said some labor organizations prac- tise “religious and national seg- regation."

Mr. Marchand said this was an attack aimed at keeping the CNTU confined to Quebec so the

Canada. He warned that his or- ganization is a “Canadian un- ion movement." thus indicating that the CNTU is serious in its moves to w a rd 5 the Atlantic provinces. TALKS COLLAPSED A ew years ago the two bodies held a long and frank

nts. They agreed to the prin- ciple that Canadian labor could speak best through a single voice. but. th merger deal broke down over technical mat- ters.

Any lingering hope for a re-

other's organization, the first

CLC could dominate the rest of m ch

discussion of merger arrangc- w

policy document stated bluntly that competition between labor groups is a good thing. The CLC is dedicated to t oppOsite view. that conflict within trade union movement can only serve to hamper its advance.

Uppermost in the feud is the delicate issue of national unity. to which the CLC has devoted -u of its energy since its founding in 1956.

The CNTU originally aimed its criticisms at international unions — t ose with headquar ters in the United States. Now, the CLC says, the attack i against Canadian unions ell. A CLC spokesman put it this ay:

as

€

The CNTU used to tell work- ers they should Join a Canadian union instead of sending dues to Washington. Now their or- ganizers say: ‘Join a Quebec union, don't send your dues to Ottawa.’ "

In September a top executive

officer of the CLC conferred

the I

with a m or m fedora- tlon leaders on a plan of action against the CNTU. They assem- bled a special “task force" to watch for the development of ' d in moves and

launch counter-measures. During recent years CLC-at— filiated unions have been put- ting special emphasis on the training of French-Canadian or- ganizers for their Quebec re’

glons. BATTLE LO0MS

Raiding by both sides has so far resulted in only minor skir- mishes. But two developments on the Quebec economic horizon contain the elements of a real battle.

Plans are in the works to auto and steel plants in the province. Two CDC affiliates. the United Steel Workers of America and the United Auto Workers, intend to organize the plants. The CNTU is likely to oppose them.

This would set a crucial test of the drawing power of the CNTU's nationalistic appe 3! against the money manpower of the two biggest industrial un- ions in Canada.

For Steel. which in 1964 be.- came the first single union in Canadian history to top 100,000 in membership, a direct fight against the CNTU would be a strange turn of fate. In 1949 when the bitter asbestos strike put the CNTU on the brink of financial ruin. the Steelworkers sent a huge donation that helped the CNTU to survive.

OTTAWA (CPi—The Indus- its fiscal year Sept. 30 with ,000,000 in outstanding loans to businesses compared with 32,000,000 a ye ar earlier, president Louis Rasminsky said in his annual report toda .

It was the 20th year for the IDB, a subsidiary of the Bank of Canada. Since its inception 'n 1944 it has authorized more than 12,000 loans totalling about $600,000,000. More than half that amount was in the last three years. after the 1961 broadening of IDB powers

Mr. Rasminsky, governor oi the Central Bank. said that in the year just ended the IDB ap- proved 2,083 term loans for $88 - 100.000 compar with 1.986. loans for $80,000,000 the year} previous. ' He noted while the bank can arrange other kinds of financ- ing including the guarantee of loans from other sources, direct purchase of a company's capi- tal stock. underwriting agree- ments and so on, it receives a few proposals for such financ- ing. In the year ended Sept. 30 the ank authorized nine financing arrangements involving other than term loans However, the
