Strike Begins

MONTREAL (CPl - A Great Lakes shipping strike began on schedule Thursday despite the ef- forts of a federal mediator to find a settlement at a hastily-called conference.

The strike hit two shipping com- panies but did not directly affect five other firms currently waging a contract fight with the Seafar- ers' international Union lCLCl.

Representatives of the seven companies-members of the Lake Carriers Association-were sitting in conference with SIU chiefs here when the strike deadline came at Noon. EDT. and men began walk- ing off ships from Quebec to Fort William. The two companies have 63 vessels and hire about 2.000 sc-amen.
