Long Strike Indicated
Among5,000Asbestos
Workers in Quebec
By the Associated Press

MONTREAL, Mar. 31.-Work-
ers who mine about two-thirds Of
the worlds asbestos are on strike.
It looks like a long siege"
The strikers number about
5000. The principal mines of the
asbestos country in Quebec's east
ern townships are affected. Two
of the biggest are the United
States-connected Johns Manville
and the Asbestos Corp. of America.
Others include the johnson Co.,
Ltd. Flintkote Mines Ltd. and
Nicolet- t-Asbestos.
A number of the smaller mines
of the district still operate un-
hampered. But estimated produc-
ton has been cut to about one
fourth of the areas normal
$50 900 tons yearly. which consti-
tutes about 80 per cent OF the
world production.
Began in February.
The strike began February IA.
First of all, the workers want
more pay. They want 81 an hour
base pay instead of the IS cents
an hour now paid for an eight
hour day. They want two weeks
vacation with pay after two years
with the company instead Of after
five years as now provided.
The workers also want more
time off on holidays like Easter
and Christmas, and improved
pension and welfare programs!
And they want the companies to
promise they'll try to eliminate
the lung-irritating dust which is
an occupational hazard.
Not all the mines were struck
at the same time. And business
men fear the strike may spread
! further.
A group of merchants, profes-
sional men and members of the
chamber of commerce at the town
of Asbestos tried a few days age
to get strikers and mine manage
ment together for a quick settle
ment there. But the move failed.
/ Solution Complicated.
From there on the story is more
complicated. The strikers are
mainly French Canadians. They
belong to the Canadian and Cath
olic Confederation of Labor. This
is Quebec Province French
union which enjoys the approval
of the Catholic church.

what it calls exploitation Of
French Canadian workers by
United States or other corpora
tions. And 1t also opposes the
policies of Quebec's Premier,

violence. The tracks Of a Johns.
Manville private railway line were
dynamited and 10 or IL persons
have been arrested on charges OF
intimidation. The Quebec pro-
vincial government has declared
the strike illegal because 1t was
started without first being sub
mitted to arbitration.
But one of the leaders of the
Catholic syndicate, Jean Mar
chand of Quebec, has said this
doesn't worry the strikers. Fur
thermore, he added, the Catholic
syndicate strikers have the back

dian Congress of Labor and the
Trades and Labor Congress OF
Canada. They correspond to the

and patience, many homes have
been held together by the restora-
ton of the mind. Persons who have
accomplished such skills should be
honored among the Great, whether
they be doctors, ministers, or plain
peace makers. They are truly Won
derful people.
Appreciation makes us extremely
happy, because we are receiving
what we have sent out. You re-

that God has gone away, He just

and in everybody. Regardless of
your condition He is with you,

realize that, then we will know real
and everlasting happiness, over

find it then we give it to some

of Arizona turned back its $4,000
to the bowl committee. Out of that
was taken enough money to pay
the teams actual expenses, the rest

The local bowl is one of two bowl
