CLC Rejects Offer

VANCOUVER (CP)—The Ca- nadian Labor Congress turned down a bid Tuesday to make it the supreme policeman over the jurisdictions of affiliated unions.

Delegates at the CLC policy convention voted overwhelm- ingly against a move that would give the CLC power and authority to step into jurisdic- tional scraps “in the same man- ner as though it were raiding.” ould have centralized over jurisdictions

William Dodge, CLC execu- tive vice-president, said pro lems stem’ from parallel jurisdictions must be dealt re by the unions involved—not b the CLC itself.

Membership Is Problem

Referee

The jurisdictional problem oc- curs when two unions compete for members in unorganized fields. It is complicated by the rival ambitions of craft and in- dustrial unions.

For example, the machinists union regards all machinists as being within its jurisdiction, re- gardiess of industry. The auto- workers union claims its field includes all autoworkers, re- gardiess of craft.

When a union extends its or- ganizational operations into spe cific fields already organized oy another union, then this be- comes raiding—a charge that

carries the ultimate penalty of expulsion from the congress for convicted unions.

The National Union of Public Employees sought constitu- tional change to make jurisdic- tional ‘conflicts and raiding sim- ilar crimes in labor's books of law

The 1956 merger of the Cana- dian Congress of tee and the Trades and Labor Congress ag- gravated the jurisdictional prob- \lem by bringing unions with

By ALAN DONNELLY

OTTAWA (CP)—Finance Min- ister Fleming Tuesday night spread $128,000,000 a year in in- come tax cuts among families and corporations in a pre-elec- tion budget expected to produce a $745,000,000 deficit.
