» Castlegar News _ ociober 14, 1907 Reporters pose as ‘Scabs’ By KAREN LEWIS Canadian Press TORONTO —’ After three nights punctuated by “madcap bus tours,” Tor- onto Star reporter John Temple got his chance to work as a strikebreaker. “When the convoy fin- ally pulled through the (picket) line without inci- dent on Sunday, I was already owed $477 for hav- ing done nothing but sit on a bus,” he reported in Tuesday's Star. “For that price, hun- dreds and hundreds of people were willing to. be seabs, the term they al- ways used with no hint of shame to describe them- selves,” On one night there were too many people “so some were sent home, after being promised they would be paid anyway.” Temple and at least two other Toronto reporters have posed as strikebreak- ers in recent days. There were recurring elements in their on-the- job accounts of Canada Post's effort to keep the mail moving during the strike by inside postal workers, entering its third week today. They reported: tense moments crossing picket lines, little supervision and training, and hours spent waiting for and aboard buses. Michael Clement des- eribed the application pro- cess in the Toronto Sun on Sunday. “Nobody asks me about my current or past em- ployment,” he said. “They do ask about my health, any illness that could pre- vent me from doing ‘re- petitive work.’ ” Six days later, he lined up with hundres of others for a bus: “There's a feel- ing of tension, but no one appears to be guilty about being a ‘scab.’ Most I talk to say they're doing it for the money — $13.25 per hour. Many of them have regular full-time jobs else- where.” He reported that he got “60 seconds’ worth of in- struction” on sorting mail into pigeon holes. Rick MacInnes-Rae of CBC Radio reported Tues- day morning from the huge Gateway plant in nearby Mississauga where he worked overnight. He and about 700 others waited five hours to be bused to the sorting plant at about midnight, he said. “As one of the postal officials explained it to me, they're sort of playing cat and mouse with the union,” he said. “Their security people tell them where the union looks weakest . . . (and then) they rush the buses in.” Parrot blames Ottawa By The Canadian Press The federal government has sent an implicit message to police forces across the country to step up violence against striking postal workers, union president Jean-Claude Parrot said today. Y: Parrot, leader of the 23,000-member Canadian Union of Postal Workers, said in an interview that no direct message has gone to police. But, “I think police forces are being used,” he said at news conference in Ottawa. “The use of a riot squad in a labor dispute . . . ceptable.” is unac- A union leaflet said CUPW wants “police neutrality — not brutality — on picket lines.” Union members have planned to picket the Ottawa police department today, said Parrot. He said Harvie Andre, minister responsible for the post office, has to find reasons to support back-to-work legis- lation. “Andre is the hatchet man for the government. He is a said. union buster,” Parrot Parrot’s comments came a day after the government said it would introduce closure today in an attempt to help push the back-to-work bill through Parliament. NOT SURPRISED Parrot said he was not surprised by the government move. Canada Post and the government never had any intention to negotiate, he said. Trade debate continues By The Canadian Press In Canada, the debate over the tentative free-trade agreement centred Tuesday on energy, drugs and fish. In the United States, offi cials argued over which country gained the advan. tage in auto trade, with one congressman accusing Can ada of trying to “steal U.S. industry.” Conservative government members in Ottawa insisted that premiers had been told energy matters would be in. cluded in the agreement, although Prince Edward Is- Posties join strike SUMMERLAND B.C. (CP) — Replacement work. ers, pickets and tense times arrived Tuesday in this cor- ner of the Okanagan Valley when inside postal workers joined the national strike they'd tried to ignore. “We've got a close-knit little community here,” said shop steward Wes Campbell. “We're more community- minded than union-mixed.” Union executive members from Kelowna and Penticton arrived Tuesday to warn four local workers they faces fines if they did not join the national strike called last Friday. After a brief meeting, the four walked out, but refused to picket. “It was tense at the start because they (executive members) were mad,” said Campbell, adding he feels the out-of-towners can live with the local decision not. to picket. He also said he has no resentment against replace- ment workers. Thursday, October 15, 1987 CREDIT UNION DAY! OPEN HOUSE AT ALL BRANCH OFFICES OF KOOTENAY SAVINGS Come in to Visit with Us...

Deputy Prime Minister Don Mazankowski said senior government officials told him the premiers were briefed about energy on two oc- casions — in July and Sep- tember = as well as at other times. Ghiz complains that grant- ing the U.S. full access to Canadian energy supplies would interfere with the fed- eral government's powers to secure supplies for domestic use. However, one top business leader said the agreement poses no threats since the Americans had access to Canadian supplies in times of shortages under an inter- national agreement.

I think it's highly reasonable for the Americans to say, ‘'m going to buy from you now, I don't want you to treat me like a second-class customer as soon as there's a short. age.’ ” The federal government also denied there was any link between the free-trade deal and its controversial drug patent legislation. The opposition claims the gov- ernment has made a secret deal with the Americans. A draft document distrib- uted by the Canadian Em. bassy in Washington includ- ed a clause in which the gov- ernment promises to pass Bill C-22 to give greater patent But Finance Minister Michael Wilson insisted that the document was released by mistake and that the offending clause was never approved by the ministers who gave final approval. The government intends to pass the drug legislation, which is being held up in the Senate. Federal Fisheries Minister Tom Siddon extolled the benefits of the trade deal for fishermen on both coasts. Sidden said the removal of tariffs will give Canadian fisheries “a significant ad- vantage over Denmark, Nor- way and our other compet- itors in the U.S.” and would encourage processing of raw fish in Canada for export.

They're bent on busting the union,” Several players, including Washington Redskins de- fensive end Dexter Manley, New. York Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor and New England Patriots quarterback: Doug Flutie, are expected to cross picket lines today. The number of defections rose to 138 Tuesday when five more players, three Pittsburgh Steelers and two Los Angeles Raiders, joined their teams. ‘That meant about nine per cent of the 1,585 players under union jurisdiction have crossed picket lines since the strike began Sept. 22. But two teams, the Redskins and the Kansas City Chiefs, who have yet to have any players ctoss picket lines, Voted Tuesday to honor the strike for at least another week. UP TO COUNCIL Tuesday's action on the negotiating front featured volleys between Upshaw and management head Jack Donlan, but no agreement and no new date for the talks to resume.

LOUIS (AP) — Those ready to write off the St. Louis Cardinals just because they lost two straight National League playoff games must have for- gotten John Tudor’s grit. “He pitched with both his heart and his head,” catcher Tony Pena said after Tudor held off the San Francisco Giants for 7 1-3 innings of St. Louis’ tension-packed, 1-0 victory Tuesday night. “I've never seen him pitch any better. Everything he threw he was keeping low.” While advancing St. Louis to to- night’s decisive game in a playoff series tied at. three games each, Tudor escaped several San Francisco threats. “4 changed speeds and moved the around,” said Tudor, who threw 118 pitehes. “Tonight's performance really wasn't any better for me than Game 2 (a 5-0 defeat) except for 800 feet in home runs I gave up then.” The lone run Tudor needed to prevail against a power-laden Giants’ lineup came gift-wrapped in the second inning. Pena, behind on a 1-2 count against loser Dave Dravecky, hit-« leadoff line drive to shallow right field that appeared ready to be caught. But San Francisco right fielder Candy Al- donado, after first losing the ball in the lights, also lost his footing and Pena ended up with a triple as the ball bounced to the wall. “I thought I hit the ball hard, but I thought he (Maldonado) was going to catch it," Pena said. “Somebody up there .must be out- for us, because it was like a stroke of good fortune, that's for sure. “I hope He is looking out for us again in Game 7. We need all the help right-after Willie McGee grounded out to third base. “With him (Tudor) coming up, you've got to do that,” St. Louis manager Whitey Herzog said of third-base coach Nick Leyva’s decision to send Pens, who slid around catcher Bob Melvin's attempted tag at home plate, “I (always) send him in that situation. I don't care if he's out by 10 feet.” A raucous, towel-waving Busch Stadium crowd that cheered Pena’s run had moments before watched McGee put an end to a serious San Francisco threat. “I knew I was going to catch it,” McGee said of a two-on, one-out low shot off Jose Uribe's bat he speared witha running catch..“I feel in this ballpark, I should catch everything. “I got a good jump on it.

Matthews not impressed VANCOUVER (CP) — The most inferior effort in five years by the British Columbia Lions has left head coach Don Matthews grasping for reality in his attempts to restore the dignity of the Canadian Football ‘The listless Lions have lost three straight, the latest a 34-6 humiliation at the hands of the inspired Calgary with Calgary as Matthews attempts to re-assemble a contending team. “Lhave no explanations, the effort was the worst in five years, in all phases of the game,” Matthews said Tuesday at his weekly briefing. “There portance Without No: 1 quarterback Roy Dewalt, sidelined by a toe injury, and with a patchwork offensive line, the Lions resemble the Grey Cup cont which roared out of the starting gate in June. Veteran ‘safety Nelson Martin was critical of teammates for the lack of intensity against Calgary, while wide réceiver Jim Sandusky said the Lions no longer have fire in their eyes. “The only thing that turns some- thing like this around is a win,” said Matthews. “We went through a similar senario a year ago when we lost four straight.” TICATS NEXT The Lions play host to the equally “We have the ability to turn it around,” Matthews: said insistently. “We have to go out and play with the, same cocky confidence as before.” The Lions led the CFL in turnover ratio three weeks ago at a gaudy plus 28, but now find themselves at plus 11 after suffering 22 turnovers during losses “to the Saskatchewan Rough- riders (10), the Toronto Argonauts (eight) and Calgary (four). Dewalt, ranked among the top CFL passers at all season, will test his tender toe in practice this week. Matthews hopes the veteran pivot will be able to stand the pain of a dislocated (turf) toe. “For us, the playoffs start now, with four games to go,” Matthews said. “We must create an atmosphere to have the players play with the same intensity they started the season with. “We feel we have the right players, One stinker doesn't mean wholesale changes.” The five-year head coach said the Lions can still finish first by ‘winning their last four games and “the decision ours.” The Edmonton Eskimos lead the western standings by two points with a 95 record, followed by B.C.
