Long sdhraarabedd :

The strike this week by 4,500 members of the United Steel- workers of America at Cominco’s Trail and Kimberley mining and smelting operations signal the start of what is shaping up to be a very long summer of contract negotiations involving this prov- ince’s major resource industries.

Contract talks between the for- est industry and the lumber, pulp and paper unions are currently underway with little or no progress so far, And though it's still early, those forestry industry negotia- tions appear to be mirroring the now apparently-settled Cominco dispute.

But then that's really no sur- prise, because the issues facing both the mining and forestry indus- tries are basically the same. Both industries are reeling from a worldwide recession. And with

At the same time, mining and forestry unions — who have seen their memberships devastated by unprecedented layoffs — are looking to economic recovery to maintain or better their members’ position,

it seoms obvious, however, that both groups — companies and unions — risk losing everything by prolonged labor disputes. At a time when - workers and management should be joining forces to ensure Canada's place in the economic future, both are bick- ering over how to carve up the economic pie.

Instead, unions and manage-.

ment in both the mining and fores-_

try industries should be showing some flexibility and cooperation. We said it before in a May 29 edi- torial on the then-impending. Cominco strike — a new attitude of

How else would you explain why more didn't show up for thé economic forum? One answer might be that Castlegar residents, businessmen and labor leaders have what is best described as a “dam mentality"; we are waiting for the mega-project.

But it appears we're not ready for that type of thinking yet. May- be we'll only be ready for it once we realize that work on Murphy Creek won't last forever. Only then it may be too late.

Editor, Castlegar News: :

The enclosed picture shows ~ the mess the highways depart- “ment has made of roadside clearing along Broadwater Road in Robson.

The broken trees are left with sharp points, presenting a safety hazard. Pity the poor bike rider who may take a spill! All cut off branches ang trees are left behind and are an eyesore.

I do hope they'll go back to using a small crew (students perhaps?) which cleans up after - itself — and no rotating blade on the machine.
