M0ntrea| Docks Hit By Wildcat Walkout

MONTREAL ICPl-A wildcat walkout by some 1.500 long- shorcmen M o n d a y crippled Montreal Harbor but there were indications of a quick settle- ment of the dispute.

in the Commons. Labor Min- IStc r MacEachen confirmed that. Judge Lippe. was prepared to submit an interim report and said it could be the basis for a solution.

Judge Lippe, who success- fully mediated a strike last fall by the same dock workers. met with Paul Asselin. president of Local 375 of the Interna- lional Longshoremen's Associa- tion tCLC). and Leo Taylor, who heads the 400 - member cargo checkers' Local 1657.

Not all of the members of these two locals involved in the walkout took part in the work stoppage. Both union said about 1.500 were idle. The others had not been notified in

time. and remained at their jobs.

First inkling of a possible walkout occurred last Thursday when the presidents of the six longshoremen‘s locals in Mont~ real. Trois-Rivieres and Quebec City wired Mr. MacEachen pro- testing what they described as arbitrary changes in the pen- sion fund.

The longshoremen and Ship~ ping Federation of Canada es- tablished the joint pension fund which is administered by an eight-man board of trustees. four from each group.

The unions contend the trus~ tees circulated a letter last week announcing that pensions had been increased to $56 from $50. They said the trustees made the changes without con- sulting the membership and without waiting for Judge Lip- pe‘s report.

Union leaders said it was un- likely the walkout would spread immediately to Trois-Rivieres and Quebec City.

DOMINATION

Mr. Diefenbaker said an ob- jection to the maple leaf design was the domination of Parlia- ment by the executive. The gov- lernment had done this in the 'days of the pipeline debate.

Pearson

OTTAWA tCPi—Prime Min-W ister Pearson Monday night re-. jected the Canadian Red Ensign

Marine flag. I He told a crowded Commonsr

: -—ttbere was standing room only

in the galleries ~ the govern- ment's proposed three maple leaf flag design is preferable. '

As the long-heralded flag de-I bate got under way, he rejected ' the idea of holding a national! referendum federal-pro- -‘ vincial conference on the flag Issue.

Pearson said the three red maple leaves on a white background. flanked by vertical

, .blue bars. made a “striking and lbeauurui flag."

"If the government resolution is defeated. then on a mater of such major importance the government has obviously lost the confidence of Parliament," ‘the said.

WHICH FLAG?

"If an amendment is sub- mitted, as I presume there might be. substituting the Red Ensign for the maple leaf de- sign, and if It were passed. then that flag. by action of the Parliament of Canada. would the flag of Canada." opposition members commented the Red Ensign is already Canada's flag. Mr. Pearson said it is by order-in- council. until Parliament makes a decision.

"But if Parliament accepts the resolution as it is now. then the flag in the resolution. ac-

cepted by Parliament. will be submitted to the Queen for a royal proclamation. ls the proper procedure. and it be- true 'parliamentary mandate.

l His 5 - minute speeoh was studded with applause and was climaxed by several minutes of desk-thumping approval from most Liberal backbenchers.

which ended with closure, and was doing it again today.

He portrayed the maple leaf design as a symbol—something a long way from a flag that epitomizes the past and the fu- ture of a country.

“You can't force the flag on the people of Canada and se- 'cure from them that mystic . something that some ridicule as ‘ nationalism. the attitude of men

men who love their country." he said.

“A flag is not something that can be ordered by Parliament." the opposition'l side in the Commons flag de- bate, Mr. Diefenbaker asked when the Liberals ever told Ca- nadians as a whole they in- tended to bring in a Canadian flag which "had no reference to the heritage in the building of Canada of the French and the English."

He. accused Prime Minister Pearson of giving the Commons “a roll call of atnmwmity" In support of the. government. pro- posed three-maple-leaf flag de- stgn.

Mr. Diefenbaker said:

“I want the government. se- cure in its conception that it is right because it may be able to command a majority, to give Canadians the right to decide the question of the kind of flag ‘they believe will maintain and strengthen the great traditions

of Canada."
