‘The General Executive Board iuvited all of the As-
bestos Worker delegates in the city attending the
‘Third Annual Legislative Conference to be present at
a special session of the Board open to all local union
officers on Weinesday afternoon at which time they
were made familiar with the communication from Gen-
eral Prosidem Robert Byron of the Sheet Metal Work
ers’ International in which he abrogated the two July
Agreements covering jurisdiction and as to
‘ion taken by the Gencral Executive Board to
cease work on all operations where the Sheet Metal
Worker was doing work which righthily came onder
the jurisdiction of oor Imernstional Association.

The chair called to the atiestion of the Board Mem-
hers the imerint decision arrived at by the March.
F986 Board Mecting—“The Board considered the joint
Savitation from the Southwest 2nd Sontheast States
Conferences on behalf of their affiliated local unions xo

March 16, 1957

‘The tri-annual meeting of the,
Eastern Canadian Conference of As-
estos Workers scheduled by error
for April 20 was calies! tm order by
Chairman M. HH. Nicole at. 1030
a, ml, Afarch 1G at the Sheraton-
“Mount-Rosal Hotel in Moztreal.

Delegates in attendance were:
Toronto, Local Xo. 95 Brothers
MOH. Nicols, Alex Taggart and
Herbert Lamont; Local No. 58
Montreal Brothers Edward Kane,
Joseph Laforce and Mancice Bleau;
trom the Ottawa District of Local

in attendance were Brothers Fer

nature being Gled with the Taterna-

tional Association General Execu-

tive Board which will take testi-

mons, issue verdict and suggest
alties as agreed upon,

Members of Local No. 58 Ottawa
snct Montreal are at odds becanse
their agreement still carvies the ten
hourday on “ont-of-town™ jobs
when others are on the 40-hour-
week, Their next agreement will
take care of that as the B-hour-day
will be effective everywhere a5 per
advice and instructions from the
General Office.

Ti was also brought up that those
whe work in other territories forget
to report to the business agent of the
Loeal in which they are working and
it was agreed that ietters he sent for
the purpose of reading them out at
the meetings that mea smut report
within 24 hours.

At this point it was called to the
attention of the attending delegates
thaf as long as we don’t have the
Cousitution and By-Laws translated
in French, it wil! be very hard to
have everthing worked up to the
fetter and spirit of the book. Local
No. 58 has at least 200 French Ca-
radian members and while most of
them are bilingttal a goed proportion
lo not trad English, Jt was also
suggested that Section 6. of Articis
3 should be amended to read “in
ardition to understanding, reading
and writing the Official language of
the country.” This way,
with nearly 1.000 members and still
growing, could manage to open neu
Joculs and build them strong. For
this memiers have to be educated
and you caemot penalize them for
something they do not understand.

"As suggested by President C. We
Siddes ‘at the Tast meeting and
fraught up agai this meeting, every
Canadian Loral shoud try to send
at Teast one delezate to the Conven-
tion next September and find out the
possibility of having = Canadicn
