Labor Law CHANGE,
Sought 10 Ban Strikes
Such as MonireaI's
~ the Associated press.

.
MONTREAL, Dec. i6.-Provincial
labor law amendment was in pros
pect today to outlaw such strikes as
the 14-hour walkout of Montreaps
5000 policemen, firemen and public
works employees.
Premier Adelard Godbout told a
press conference In Quebec last
night he would call the Legislature
soon and ask 1t to enact legislation
to prevent q recurrence of such
difficulties"
The strike was settled early yes
terday when the provincial govern
ment ordered its municipal COM
mission, which has been operating
Montreal since the city failed to
meet It's financial obligations, to rec
ognize the Canadian Congress of
Labor as bargaining agent for the
three departments. Such recogni-
ton was the sole point at issue.
Two thousand City Hall white
collar workers presented new strike
threat last night, but were told to
expect a favorable answer to de-
mands for recognition of the Ma
tional Syndicate of Municipal Work
ers as their bargaining agent as well
as wage increases before today's :
pm. deadline.
New Strike Threat Seen.
There also was hint Of possible
future difficulties for the city from
trolley and bus workers. These en-
ployes, affiliated with the Gel, are
negotiating new contract and have
intimated they might resort tc
strike action, but 1t was pointed out
the present contract binds them
until the last of February.
Explaining the Governments stand
and the reasons prompting it to
stipulate recognition of the Gel to
bring about a settlement in the
strike of the Montreal civic en-
ployes, Premier Godbout said last
night:
The views of the government on
the propriety of allowing the guard
fans of law and order to join unions
affiliated with federations embracing
workers of all categories are well
known. On the other hand, would
it not be bordering on disaster If
the government itself were to use
force to set aside the decisions Of
tribunals duly constituted under our
present laws?"
Considerable dissatisfaction al
ready has become evident over the
settlement.
designations Reported Offered.
L. E. Potvln, chairman of the
Municipal Commission, and Honore
Parent, director of Montreal serv-
ices and the commissions repre-
sentative in the Montreal executive
body, were said to have offered to
resign, but this could not be con-
firmed.
j. O. Asselin, chairman Of the
Montreal Executive Committee. said
the settlement meant complete dis
credit" for the Municipal Committee.
Only skeletonized police and fire
protection was provided in Montreal
during the strike period. Fire Di-
rector Raymond Pare announced
last night that the flre-alarm system
was tampered with shortly after the
strike began.
Paul Marquette, c. c. L. organizer,
declared that the strikers we're not
responsible for the sabotage.
On the basis of the settlement,
Mr. Marquette said the union would
present proposed contract provid-
iOp for I1DiOp recoppjfiop and also
annual pay increases of $500.
