Canada Post talks resume

one week before strike date

OTTAWA (CP) — Talks between Canada Post and its 20,000 letter carriers re. sumed Tuesday evening with less than a week left before the union is in a legal strike position.

Canada Post is seeking a wide range of concessions from its unions as it tries to trim services and cut costs.

Those concession demands for the letter carriers range from reduced job security to a lower pay rate for new employees.

John Caines, a spokesman for Canada Post Corp., said the two sides met Tuesday evening for the first time since May 7.

The talks follow Monday's

report by federal conciliation commissioner Ken Swan who failed to bring about a set- tlement after almost four months of talks.

In his report, Swan warned of dire consequences, in. cluding violence, if a settle- ment isn't reached.

The Letter Carriers’ Union of Canada has the legal right to strike at 12:01 a.m. next Tuesday

Union president Bob Mc- Garry spent most of Tuesday in Toronto meeting his na- tional executive to discuss Swan's report, but flew back to Ottawa for the talks.

The meeting, called to set the agenda for further talks this week, ended after almost

three hours, McGarry said late Tuesday. Another ses: sion is set for today.

Asked whether there were signs of flexibility, McGarry said: “When it’s somebody's job security, you can't be very flexible. You can't be only half laid off.”

CARRY MORE

Swan said the post office wants the letter carriers to give up some job security, to carry heavier mail further and to allow more casual workers and contracting out.

The letter carriers have asked for removal of limits on severance pay and retire- ment benefits.

McGarry has said Canada will face its first major strike

Art worth thousands goes missing from bank

VANCOUVER (CP) Eight works of art, valued conservatively at about $30,000 now, are missing from the Provincial | Art Bank

Most of the missing works disappeared before 1983, when the collection was maintained by the B.C. Build ing Corp., said Richard Brownsey, acting director of cultural with the provincial government

“We have works in 100 or so locations, and so you do

run a risk when you have the number of art works in as many locations as we do,” Brownsey said Tuesday Most of the collection of 850 paintings, prints and sculptures, valued at $250,000, was bought by the NDP government from 1972 to 1975. The Social Credit government announced a purchase of 15 works in 1986 When the NDP govern ment was defeated, the col lection became the property of the B.C. Building Corp. In

1983, the collection was pass ed to the cultural services branch of the Department of Tourism, Culture and Rec reation.

Among the missing works is a major canvas by Van couver artist Alan Wood.

Wood, contacted in Eng land where he was on vac ation, said his painting, “a large free-standing canvas and collage piece,” was miss ing when the Greater Vic toria Art Gallery attempted to borrow it for a show.

While a work stoppage could begin with rotating strikes in large cities, Mc- Garry hasn't ruled out a full national strike.

Ganada Post has promised to Keep the mail moving with nomunion employees and workers hired to replace strikers.

Swan called for conces- sions on both sides and Caines said the report could form the basis for an agree- ment

In the Commons, Deputy Prime Minister Don Mazan- kowski said the government is content to let the Post Office and the union work out their differences.

“I think there's a clear in- dication from both sides that there is a desire to re- engage in negotiations,” Maz- ankowski said.

“That's the way this issue can best be settled for all Canadians and for the work- ers particularly.”

Meanwhile, ler Can- ada Post bargaining unit in Toronto reached a tentative agreement Tuesday.

Twenty-eight cleaners, members of the Canadian Unuion of Postal Workers, had been on strike since Jan. 8 in an effort to get a first contract. No terms were an- nounced.

VICTORIA (CP) — Premier Bill Vander Zalm said Tuesday the agreement in principle he thought he had with Deputy Prime Minister Don Mazankowski on a national park for the South Moresby region of the Queen Charlotte Islands may be falling apart.

“My view was that we certainly had agreed on all of the broad principles and that it was simply a matter of working out details,” Vander Zalm said Tuesday. “(But) It doesn't look too good to me today.”

At last week's meeting with Mazankowski in Ottawa, Vander Zalm said there was agreement in principle on the establishment of a. park covering approximately 140 islands in the Queen Charlotte archipelago, 100 kilometres off the northern B.C. coaast.

“I know the (park) plan is not dead,” he said. “I don't, know if it means very much that the officials ha}e not arrived in Victoria.”

Vander Zalm said federal offitials were preparing a “sevised submission” for the cabinet today in Ottawa.

Van Dusen refused comment on the details of the cabinet submission, but said he didn't know if it could be considered as a new plan.

Last week, Environment Minister Bruce Strachan said there was agreement in principle on:

— Expanded park boundaries which would include Lyell Island, the scene of confrontations between Haida Indians and loggers two years ago, as well as three other islands;

— Compensation for loggers, logging contractors and forestry based on an estimate by an independent

The premier told the e that assured him that officials would be here Monday or Tuesday to work out details of the agreement, but no one has arrived.

“One of the difficulties I have at the moment is that it has always been historically the job of the federal government in establishing national parks that they negotiate with third parties (for compensation),” Vander Zalm said. “I get the impression that perhaps maybe.we are becoming the ‘sxoeption and certainly we don't want to see that happen . . . There's no need for the federal government to try to sazecse this thing to the point where it's all give on the part of British Columbi:

In an interview from Ottawa, Mazankowski’s press secretary Tom Van Dusen said: “I don't know if that was fair to say that there was an agreement in principle. But I do know that both sides got closer to an agreement last week.”

Van Dusen also said he didn't know anything about a plan to have federal officials meet in Victoria Monday or Tuesday.

Break-ins

accounting firm;

— Money for tourism development, including docks, coast guard stations and lighthouses; and,

— A trust fund to compensate British Columbians for lost forestry revenue.

The cost of the province's package has been estimated at $170 million with the $100 million trust fund being paid out over 10 years.

The provincial government has said its major concern is for loggers on Lyell Island and other people in the Queen Charlotte Islands who depend on logging for their livelihood. It has estimated that logging on Lyell Island alone produces $40 million annually.

“We're getting very frustrated with all of the delays from Ottawa,” Vander Zalm said, adding that if the federal government doesn’t move quickly, British Columbia will turn the area into a p1 park with i smaller boundaries.

political?

TORONTO (CP) — A se- nior Conservative party worker and close friend of Prime Minister Brian Mul- roney says he believes two break-ins in Montreal in 1984 were conducted by the RCMP looking for politically damaging material.

Roger Nantel says con- versations with Mounties led him to believe the break-ins were the work of a group within the RCMP working on the assumption that “there was dirty money behind Bria:

In a story published today in the Toronto Globe and Mail, Nantel says one break- in was in his office and the other, three days later, was at the nearby Conservative party headquarters for Que- bec.

Nantel is the senior part- ner in the public relations firm Nantel et Associes Inc., and former associate director of communications and ad- vertising for the Conserva- tive party.

Stressing that he has no proof, he said his allegations stem from conversations he has had with two members of the RCMP whom he consid- ers friends.

The Mounties told him the break-ins were “camouflaged to look like ordinary bur- glaries.”

“They found nothing be- cause there was nothing,” Nantel said.

RCMP Supt. John Bentham said Tuesday he was unfam- iliar with the circumstances of the Montreal break-ins.

Company recalls faulty condoms

OTTAWA (CP) — Julius Schmid of Canada Ltd. is re- calling three lots of condoms that don’t meet federal leak age standards, the Health Department said Tuesday.

The brands, lot numbers and package sizes

— Ramses Sensitol, lubri- cated, lot PK32, EXP 0592, sold in packages of three, 12, 15 and 36.

— Ramses Nuform, lubri- cated, lot PK10, EXP 0592, sold in packages of 3, 12, 15 and 36.

— Fetherlite, lot PK10, EXP 0492, sold in packages of 12.

The Health Department said consumers should return those condoms to retailers. Retailers should return their stock to the company’s head office in Scarborough, Ont. A department spokesman said the faulty condoms were discovered as a result of

“But if Mr. Nantel really believes that the force is res- ponsible, I suggest he come to the RCMP immediately.”

Solicitor General James Kelleher said Tuesday he re- calls the break-ins but knows nothing about any RCMP in- volvement.

The two break-ins were in- vestigated at the time by the Montreal city police and the RCMP. No suspects were identified and stolen files were never found.

The first break-in occurred the night of Sept. 26, 1984, at the offices of, Nantel et As- socies in Old Montreal.

It was “a very professional jol said Montreal police Det. Yvon Giroux, who in- vestigated the case.
