Free trade worries Ontario pulp workers By SUSAN YELLIN ‘The Canadian Press The steamy, sweet smell of mush wood pulp drying into rolls of greyish newsprint has an enticing air of more savory things to come: ‘*It smells money," shouts em pidyee relations” manager Wally Coulombe, his voice vying to be heard above the din of a paper machine at the Abitibi-Price plant in Iroquois Falls, Ont. But the 77-year-old mother mill that has spawned 30 forest-industry mills and plants in. the pulp-and-paper giant’s empire in North America is more than hard cash It’s the lifeblood of this industry town about 600 kilometres northwest of Toronto. But some of the workers who depend on the mill as much as the company relies on them are afraid the uncertainties of the Canada-U.S. free- trade agreement and the company’s expansion outside Canada may gnaw away at that relationship, leaving them no better off than the stumps and slash in the forests. But the company says it’s diver sifying some operations to try to lessen problems in the cyclical business and has been spending millions to upgrade machinery and plants in Canada Analysts are forecasting some gloomy years for the newsprint in- one: dustry as a glut and falling demand take hold. Toronto-based Abitibi-Price, 78- per-cént owned by the Reichmann family’s Olympia and York Develop- ments, saw its first-half profits slide 44 per cent from the same period a year ago. Abitibi-Price isn’t alone: — profits from MacMillan Bloedel and Noranda Forest have also dropped COMINCO ANNOUNCES DIVIDEND VANCOUVER — A dividend of $1 per share on the $2. exchangeable preferred-shares series ‘A’ has been declared payable on Dec. 1, 1989, to holders of record at the close of business on Nov. 7, 1989, Cominco has announced. A dividend of $1.21875 per share on the fully paid and non- assessable $2.4375 redeemable preferred-shares series ‘‘B’’ has been declared payable on Dec. 1, 1989, to holders of record at the close of business on Nov, 7, 1989, the company adds in a news release. Some plants have already had briet shutdowns. But the downturn in the newsprint cycle doesn’t have workers in Iroquois Falls too worried. That's just the way of life around here,”’ shrugs Ed Godfrey, president of the larger of two Canadian Paper- workers Union locals. Godfrey, who has been with the plant for more than 23 years, says em- ployees have managed to negotiate “*pretty good”’ settlements. But over coffee at the restaurant in the Glendale — the town’s only hotel — Godfrey says he’s worried about what free trade may mean to the 650 workers he represents. Abitibi-Price is involved in a project in Alabama, prompted by the pact, he says, as well as other ventures outside North America, “\LEVEL FIELD’ The company has suggested in preliminary meetings on contract negotiations there should be a ‘‘level playing field’? between U.S. and Canadian employees, Godfrey says. That has Godfrey concerned Abitibi-Price may soon demand Canadian workers take rollbacks to meet the lower wages of their U.S. counterparts — a condition he says will be staunchly opposed. “We'll shut the mill down (in a strike)first.’” Revolt unlikely on sales tax, analysts say OTTAWA (CP) — Canadians were angry about higer taxes imposed in the federal budget and may not welcome the new federal sales tax with open ar ms, but analysts say they don’t see a tax revolt in the making. Nancy Harley, a tax analyst with Clarkson Gordon, says as people learn more about the new levy and ‘‘if they keep an open mind about it, then a tax revolt is less likely.”” “You have to step back, look at the economy as a whole, and really try to understand how damaging the current sales tax is,"’ she said A Gallup poll released three weeks ago indicated Canadians are more concerned about government taxation than any other issue. Sixty-eight per cent of respondents said they were very concerned about tax levels, Gallup’s vice-president said Harley said the long-term benefits of the tax are complex to explain ‘‘and I am concerned that there willbe a strong negative public feeling about thetax.”” Part of the government's problem in trying to convince C ‘anadian$ of the positive elements is that many appear to be only. indirect for the individual taxpayer BENEFITS BUSINESS Even if people understand the ad- vantage in principle — for example, a more favorable competitive position for Canadian exporters — “‘they may still say ‘sure, that benefits business but what have you done for me? You're still taxing me on my consum- ption.’”” There will be at least one more budget from Ottawa and each of the provinces before the nine-per-cent federal sales tax takes effect on. Jan. 1, 1991. It replaces the current 13.5-per- cent manufacturers’ sales tax. Future budgets — especially provin- cial ones — may include more tax in- creases Information released by the Finance Department last month said federal transfer payments to the provinces will drop by $2.2 billion over the next four years. Unless the provinces reduce spen- ding, which are a decline in those payments — used to help finance education and health services — may force them to raise tax levels in future budgets. But Andy Friedman, an analyst with Peat Marwick, said even if Canadians revolt against the new sales tax, that won’t answer the question of how to replace the current tax, in effect since 1924 and widely condemned as inef- ficient. " PAY THEBILLS “*Canadians may revolt all they want but somebody has to pay the bills,”’ Friedman said. Many Canadians groaned after the April federal budget when Finance Minister Michael. Wilson dug more money out of their pockets. Wilson’s budget carried a $3.6-billion wallop in additional taxes for the current fiscal year. That meant the average family with two children would see their in- come fall by about $500 in 1990 Bill Robson, a policy analyst with the C.D. Howe Institute, said ‘It’s difficult to assess when you reach the point of ‘enough is enouth.” “But [don’t think we're there yet."” FERRARO’S Your satisfaction is our main concern cut from Canada grade ‘A’ bee! ground bee 5-81b. packages kg. 1 Ib. f° regular .86 green grapes kg. 1.30 California grown * Canada no. 1 picnic shoulder shankless kg. 2.18 Ib. aaa inspected smoked pork corn on the cob .99 B.C. grown * no. 1 51.09 Purity * all purpose white flour 10 kg. « Super Value * white * whole wheat sliced bread .88 AY K, ery $25 yoo" @ 9 erie’ .00 in groceries purchased, GET ALL4 ntitles you to Great Price get lof no name * I-ply bathroom tissue 8 roll pkg. each .99 Stack pack b burgers each of these products at these super low prices ; get * plain * iced .99 cake donuts prune plums “49 ete.,ete., ete.
