SABOTAGE DENIED
RECENT ALUMINIUM STRIKE IN CANADA.
(By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) QUEBEC, August 1.
The president of the National Catholic Syndicate of Aluminium Workers, Mr Alexis Daris, in an interview with the Canadian Press today, said that the recent strike of 5000 workers, in which there was serious disturbance and damage to Canadian war output, was due to five causes. They were: — First, the failure of the company to reply to the demands of the workers’ syndicate; second, the higher deductions from pay due to the rise in defence tax; third, the deductions for unemployment insurance, the first time without sufficient explanation; fourth, the heat; and fifth, the decreased bonus caused by the heat slowing down work. Mr Daris said the strike could not be attributed to sabotage, as stated by the Minister of Munitions, Mr Howe.
At Hamilton, Ontario, the National Steel Car Corporation strikers decided to resume work at 7 a.m. tomorrow.
