and now is suing to get his Job
back. He charges that the GNU
has become q company union.
The GNU had no other
members when it obtained
bargaining rights with Upper
Lakes and does not now rep
resent employees Of any other
company.
500 STU Members Replaced
Upper Lakes dismissed its
approximately 800 STU mem
bers and replaced them with
seamen provided by the GNU.
STU called the requirements
scabs and charged that the
whole operation was a union
busting" conspiracy by the
company and rival unions.
STU struck Upper Lakes, sue
ceeding pretty well in tying up
the CMU-manned ships.
Retaliating, CLC unions
blocked passage Of STU ships
through the Welland Locks Of
the st. Lawrence Seaway. The
sc away was tied up for 80
hours in July, 1862.
This tie-up and the general
disruption Of shipping led the
Canadian government to estab-
lish a one-man commission to
investigate. The commissioner
was Justice T. G. Norris of
British Columbia.
After long, stormy hearings,
Justice Norris last July issued a
report blaming the STU for the
maritime mess and condemn
ing Mr.. Bank as "a bully.
cruel, dishonest, greedy,
power-hungry. contemptuouS
Of the law"
Union Chief Accused
The commissioner accused
Mr.. Banks Of mis- h an dim 6
union funds, making q mock
cry" of union democracy, using
violence and intimidatin 6
members. He compared the
union leader to Hitler, Stain
AL Capone and James r. Hoffa
president Of the Teamster:
Union.
Justice Norris recommended
establishment Of q government
trusteeship to run c IN a d a (
maritime unions and to remove
Mr.. Banks from office.
The STU had opposed Justice
Morris appointment as COM

report, the STU said the COM

A labor dispute over the Jobs
of 800 sailors threatens to
errupt into economic warfare
between the United States and
Canada.
Roars Of rage are growing
louder and fiercer, with only
faint signs Of hope that the
battle may simmer down.
Action at the AFL-CIO con-
Vention, now In session In New
York, win in dicate whether
these hopes are more than
wishful thinking.
The cause of the crisis Is q
strike by the Seafarers Inter
national Union (SIU Of
Canada against Upper Lakes
Shipping. Ltd. Alarmed at the
disruption Of shipping, the Ca
madam government is trying
to GUST the unions president
and has established a trustee
ship to run the union.
Court action has stymied the
strike on the Canadian side Of
the Great Lakes, but American
unions are boycotting ships Of
the Upper Lakes company in
United States ports. The Cana
dian government has demand
ed that President Kennedy
crack down In the American
unions.
Now the AFL-CIO is consid-
ering broader action to pro-
test the trusteeship. including
boycotts of some Cana dian
products.
Banks Is Storm Center
At the center Of the storm is
Hal C. Banks, president Of the
Canadian Seafarers. Mr..
Banks, an American citizen,
served a sentence in San Quen-
tin, Calf, for passing bad
checks more than 30 years ago
He was pardoned in 1851.
Mr.. Banks went to Canada in
1948 on an assignment to clean
Communists out Of the Ca
madam district of the Seafarers
International Union Of North
America. The anti-Red drive
succeeded, and the STU Of Can
ada was established with Mr.
Banks as president.
With the Communists beaten
Mr.. Banks turned to the job
Of building up his union. He
was a rough competitor
against other Canadian unions
and the Canadian Labor Con-
greSs (CLC) expelled the Sea-
farers on raiding charges in
1861.
The Seafarers started rep
resenting employees Of Upper
Lakes in 1851. Negotiations for
a new contract deadlocked In
1861. Also in 1861, the CLC es-
tablished a rival union. the
Canadian Maritime Union
(CMU.
Deadlock Report Accepted
Michael Starr. then the
Canadian Labor Minister, for
mally accepted-over protest,
by Mr.. Banks-a Cancellation
boards report Of q deadlock
Under Canadian law. a COM
pany is free to recognize an
other union when such a dead
lock develops.
That's what Upper Lakes did
signing Q c contract with ths
new GNU in April, 1862. The
STU still is challnging the le-
gality Of this move. The union
contends that the Cancellation
boards report was not valid
and that the GNU is a COM
pany union.
The GNU was established BY
the CLC with help from two
rivals of the STU in the United
States-the United Steelwork-
ers Of America and the Ma
tional Maritime Union.
Michael j. Sheehan, a former
official of the STU under Mr.
Banks, was the first president
of the GNU. Mr.. Sheehan Later

Just Like When You Over-park
Uncannily Clever CANNES
May Bring O,Oners Tickets

Ofensend said some Of Rockille's uncom-
non warden-wary dogs have perfected re-
nnarkable evasion techniques . . and appear
to enjoy It, Some permit and/or egg on the
warden to approach within six feet in any
direction then, with happy tail.flaunting zap,
take off bush-tobush. Others peer around
corners Of houses with a doubledare look
In their eyes or a definite snirk on their
elongated physiognomies.
This is not only frustrating to animal
wardens In general but is downright enervat-
Ing. AS matter of fact Ofensend said he is
about to request the city manager to request
an increased appropriation for next year so
that second warden can be employed in
order to keep up with the dog-gone work.
Ofensends decision to asked for ticket.
ing powers for animal wardens has not been
picked off bush. He has entered into cores
pondence with other municipalities across the
country In order to learn how they cope with
catching CANNES who would rather cavort
than be caught.
THE tcketing Of owners" he said, "has
been very effective In other parts Of the coun.
try and should be effective here"
The Council and the City Manager said
Ofensend's dog-catching and licensing work
has been effective in Rockville and is clearing
up the source Of the citys largest number of
complaints -. dogs!

Rockville owners of freerunning, fleet
footed CANNES who exhibit canny reluctance
to being caught, netted lassoed, or coaxed
into the Animal Warden's mobile impounding
vehicle, soon may be on the receiving end of
tickets" just like owners of over.parked
automobiles.
Allan J. Ofensend, assistant to Rockvilles
City Manager and impelling force behind en-
forcement Of the City's animal control regula-
TONS asked the Mayor and Council this week
to amend the regulations to allow the tickets.
Ofensend believes resorting to tickets for
owners Of dogs running free in violation Of
city ordinances is necessary in order to deal
effectively with the willy, educated, convening
CANNES at the County Seat who apparently
function to outwit the warden.
The Mayor and Council set March 25 as
the hearing date on Ofensends proposal. At
tendance is expected to be both large and
vociferous
In effect, the proposed ordinance will
allow the Animal Warden to write out ticket
onthe-spot when he witnesses running vio-
lation and has been out.witted, out.guessed
and outrun by Roaming Rover. Such notice
will impose upon the dogs owner fine Of s.
which must be paid at City Hall within four
days.

Special to the Sentinel

ANNAPOLIS - State Sen.
Gilbert Guide wants to give the
County Council veto power over
construction of lateral sewer
lines by the Washington Subur-
ban Sanitary Commission.
At present, he pointed out, the
Council can only veto extension
of main or trunk sewer lines
by the WSSC. This power
should be extended to include
lateral lines that extend off the
trunk lines, he feels.
Pending in the General AS

bill favored by the WSSC that
would extend the agency's juris-
diction over all of Montgomery
County.
If the WSSC is to be granted
such additional area, he be.
lieves, it should also be required
to submit to this additional con-
troll over its power TO extend
sewer lines that invariably
stimulate growth and develop
ment.
He said a bill he plans to in
troduce would also give the
Council veto power over smaller
pipe extension of trunk lines
which is not covered in existing
veto authority.

Council Splits
On Relaxing
Liquor Laws

A request that the County
Council take a formal stand
on a proposed bill to loosen
the County's liquor control
law failed to attain its goal
Tuesday, When Council
members couldn't agree on
the issue.
After a brief discussion of the
measure proposed by organized
restaurant operators, un d r
which the sale of mixed drinks
would be permitted in restau-
rants capable of seating at least
100 persons, Council members
agreed to send their individual
views to the Montgomery Coun-
ty delegates currently consider
ing the proposal in Annapolis.
Council members John Henry
Hiser, Kathryn Diggs, Mary
Hepburn and DR.. Thomas M.
Wilson indicated they favored
some loosening of the county's
liquor restrictions, Grover K.
Walker and Jerry T. Williams
opposed the idea, while Presi-
dent John A. Floyd said he
would take no stand on the
issue. AS a consequence, Coun.
Gil members agreed informally
it would be of little consequence
to attempt a formal position.

Council this week approved
rezoning from R-60 to IL of a

In other decisions, the Coun-
Gil denied a request by United

rezoning of four lots on Wayne

he could have obtained sewer

Vacancies
BY William H. Smith

Robert G. Tobin, jr., a &c.
year-old Republican at
torney, was appointed by the
County Council Tuesday to
fill the post of County At
torney, which becomes va
cant tonight with the resig-
nation of Alfred H. Carter,
a Democrat.
Tobin's selection conceded
with County Manager Mas son
Butchers announcement that
he has appointed James Michael
Bailey, 81, of Silver Spring, as
clerk to the Council to fill the
second of two major vacancies
created by resignation since the
Republican-controlled Counc |
assumed office last November.
The new attorneys appoint
ment, proposed by DR.. Thomas
M Wilson, a Republican, was
approved by a 60 vote. Demo
crat Grover K. Walker declined
to vote on the ground that he
was not familiar with the can
didate.
DIR. Wilson first proposed a
salary of SIS, 1888, which he said
he construed to be the starting
pay for the County Attorney,
but later withdrew his proposal
pending report by Butcher on
existing salary scales. He pro-
posed that TObin be appointed
March l, or as soon thereafter
as he can straighten out his
business affairs.
An active member OF tn e
Junior Chamber of Commerce
and the Young Republican
Club, Tobin currently is serving
as attorney to the county's leg

A graduate of the Naval

The trouble stems from the
fact that Rockville city planners
engaged in getting together an

turn Rockville's Confederate
soldier in Court House Square

this is no way to turn a boy-in-

Collection

The County Council took
under study Tuesday an extern
sive report by the Montgomery
County Revenue Authority In
which 1t proposed to take over
refuse collection services now
provided by the Suburban SAM

Under the proposal, the au-
thority would assume control
of an operation providing for
the collection and disposal Of
some 10000 tons of waste mate
rial each year and utilizing the
services Of 260 men and 81

authorities have indicated pre-

refuse collection to be "inconsis-
tent with its principal func-
TONS" devoted primarily to
water supply, sewage disposal
and storm drainage.
The new plan was outlined to
members of the County Coun-
ell Tuesday by j. Ingram Med
