(CP) — Provincial court Judge Douglas Crowe ordered former teacher Jim Keegstra on Friday to stand trial for wilfully promoting hatred against an identifiable group, a charge that has yet to be the source of a conviction. The Alberta Attorney General's Department laid the charge in January under section 281.2, subsection 2, of the Criminal Code. There has not been a conviction since the charge was added to the Criminal Code 14 years ago, Crowe said defence. lawyer Doug Christie's argu. ment that no one acquired hate becausse of Jim Keeg: stra’s teachings is irrelevant. The actual promotion of hatred was more important than success or failure, Crowe said at the conclusion of the nine-day preliminary hearing. “Whether the conduct of the accused resulted in anyone acquiring the emotion of hate is, in my view, irrelevant,” the grey-haired judge said. Christie said during his summation that the Crown failed to prove’ Keegstra’s anti-Jewish teachings promoted hatred. “Nobody has said they acquired hatred,” said the cofounder of the separatist Western Canada Concept party. “Nobody has said they have hated as a result of what Mr. Keegstra said.” Crowe ruled that statements heard from 10 wit nesses during the hearing convinced him Keegstra was promoting hatred to his students between Sept. 1, 1978, and Dec. 31, 1982. Keegstra stands trial “There is, in my mind, no doubt that these state ments, or some of them... are capable of promoting hatred of the Jewish race,” Crowe said. “I define hatred as being an intense dislike.” REJECTS ARGUMENTS He also rejected arguments that Jews are a race and therefore not a religion. “They are a religion and therefore an identifiable group.” Crown Prosecutor Bruce Fraser said Keegstra could be arraigned July 11 but a trial wouldn't start before December. Keggsira selected trial by judge and jury during a Febrv:ary court appearance. Keegstra was fired in December 1982 from the teaching position he held for 14 years, after complaints from some parents over his views on Jews and Roman Catholics. He told students the number of Jews killed by the Jazis during Second World War was greatly exag- gerated and there was a Zionist plot to control the world. Keegstra was greeted with applause from a small group of supporters when he left the courtroom. “I don’t know if anybody should be surprised,” Keegstra, 49, told reporters \in a cold, controlled voice. “T'll defend freedom and {ruth to the bitter end,” he said, drawing cheers from a small group gathered around him. The tall, grey-haired former mayor of Eckville, Alta., a small farming community 140 kilometres southwest of Edmonton, grinned when asked if he felt like a martyr. “I don't know what a martyr should feel like.” Crowe heard students read notes dictated by Keeg: stra which said Jews provoked the French and Russian Revolutions, the American Civil War, both world wars, paid to have Abraham Lincoln assassinated and plan to control the world by the year 2000. Court also heard a Jewish-controlled group con- ducted human sacrifices and cannabilism for feasts during the French i and Franklin R i itted suicide after being told he couldn't become world president. . Keegstra gave a high mark for an essay which read: “Hitler was one of the most successful people in the world to ever go against the Jews. If people would have been listening, he could have rid the world of Jews forever.” Students said Keegstra called Jews gutter rats and money thugs, but maintained only a small segment of the Jewish population were involved in the world-domination scheme. The 60-seat courtroom was crowded by 15 reporters plus pro and anti-Keegstra supporters plus pro and anti- Keegstra supporters throughout the hearing. Several spectators nodded their heads or said “that’s right” when some of the anti-Jewish material was read. Christie, who did not ask for a publicity ban on the hearing, was bitter about the media coverage his client received. “T've never seen a more distorted view in the media in any trial I've been involved with,” he said. Keegstra only shrugged when asked if the media in- fluenced the judge's decision. “I don't think I have to paint a picture for you.” Costiews Photos by Chery!

Pulp unions satisfied VANCOUVER (CP) — British Columbia's two pulp and paper unions have won a better collective agreement than the International Woodworkers of America, says 4 Canadian Paperworkers Union leader. “I personally feel we have the right to do a little crowing,” said David Coles, an executive member of the union's Crofton local and a member of the union's national council. ‘The paperworkers’ union and the Pulp, Paper and Woodworkers of Canada reached a tentative agreement with their employers Friday morning that gives them wage increases identical to the woodworkers’ agreement reached last December. But Coles said the 12,700 members of the pulp unions are ially better off in pensions. Management union Expo deal won't deter non-union firms By GARY KINGSTON “We'd hoped to bid for will mean to Kerkhoff's $4.4- would be in place next week. cs VANCOUVER (CP) — A non-union contractor who plans to bid on future con- tracts at the Expo 86 site said he is not concerned with a deal between Expo manage- ment and éonstruction unions that will require all workers to be paid union rates. Peter Falk of Falk Bros.” Industries of Abbotsford, said he couldn't speak for other nop-union firms, but “this won't deter. us in any way.” His 80 employees are paid about $3 ynder the union rate, which is $18.78 an hour for carpenters. Falk said.the deal wil) only hurt British Columbians, in that Expo will have to spend more money to meet higner Bill Kerkhoff, whose high- profile firm J.C. Kerkhoff and Sons Ltd. is the only | non-union company currently on site, said. the deal is “straight blackmail and I find it hard to understand that they (the Social Credit gov ernment) have gone for it. more . . . It’s my guess that you're net going to see many more non-union people on the site from now on.” The deal, which would also require union. manning ra tios, which provide for a cer tain number of tradesmen on various equipment and. spec ific numbers of apprentices, was. worked out by Expo Management, building trades representatives and Graham Leslie, ‘deputy minister of labor. Expo's board of dir wetors is expected to ratify the pact early next week. 1;(SIMILAR DEAL The deal is: similar one mixed earlier by the provin @al government, which now insists it's a matter between Expo and the unions. The tight construction time frame for Expo is believed respon sible for the government's ehange of position, Premier Bill Bennett said Thursday that the. govern- ment’s mandaté to’have an “open site” was still in place. It is unclear what the deal million contract to build a main gate and service tunnel. Preliminary work started Wednesday. Maarten Kerkhoff, a com. pany spokesman, said the company will be seeking to renegoiate the contract. “There's no way there can be a profit if we have to pay union rates at this price,” he said. “It's not that we have such high profits that we can still make money if we pay union wages.” Carpenters Union leaders also are angered by the agreement and have’ called their members off the site at least until Monday. President Bill Zander said he has “strong hang-ups” about Under the pact, the baild- ing trades have dropped their affiliation clauses — which allow them to refuse to work alongside non-union workers — and agreed not to strike for the construction period. In a related case, sen- tencing of the building trades council on contempt of court convictions arising out of vandal-marred union picket- ing at a Kerkhoff job site has been delayed in British Col- umbia Supreme Court. After Kerkhoff lawyer Peter Gall said he had no submissions to make on sen- tencing, Chief Justice Allan working laborers.. GAUTIER OPTIMISTIC However, Roy Gautier, building trades couneil pres- ident, said he was confident the carpenters would “ser- iously consider their moves” and that the agreement ‘hern, who indi dhe had heavy fines in mind, said he wanted the Attorney General's Ministry to speak on sentencing to balance the submission of building trades council lawyer Harry Rankin on “this very sericus mat- ter.” He said each pensioner will now receive $20 a month for each year worked in the industry. By contrast, Coles said, some woodworker retirees earn as little as $13 a month per year worked. But Bob Blanchard, first vice-president of the wood- workers’ union, said that comparing the two pension plans is like comparing apples and oranges. USES PERCENTAGE The pulp unions negotiate pensions that give the same amount to past and future pensioners, while the woodworkers’ union negotiates percentage increases. Using the percentage method, woodworker pensions can differ substantially depending on a worker's original pension at the time of retirement. Coles also said the pulp unions paid “a dear price” for the pension agreement, referring to the nine-week lockout and the provincial government's back-to-work legislation. That legislation also gave the government the power to impose a settlement. The pulp wage agreement — like the woodworkers’ — provides no increase in the first year, a four-per-cent boost in the second and 4.5 per cent in the third year of a three-year deal. Paperworkers’ union leader Art Gruntman said the agreement is a good deal. “I am totally happy with the result and it was worth- while to fight this long. I think it is a victory and I think management will also feel this way.” But Gruntman was still concerned about the way the final agreement was reached, under the shadow of the legislation. Industry negotiator Eric Mitterndorfer said the 14 pulp and paper companies are also content with the agreement and now want to get back to redressing balance sheets and beating the competition. The settlement averts a planned three-day strike set for Monday at the province's 20 pulp mills. The unions had been planning the action unless there was an agreement in place. The base rate for the pulp and paper workers, who have been without a contract for 11'1 months, is $12.96 an hour.
