CENTRALIA, ONTARIO Plant: 235-0833 Office: 228-6961 Continued from front page The demonstration was put on by organized working women group. Supporters for the demonstration began arriving about 6:30 a.m. There were no incidents. The OPP, on fears that radicals might infiltrate the gathering increased their force with an estimated 75 to 100 officers in the immediate vicinity of the area. Spokesperson for the group, Deidre Gallagher, told the gathering that the demonstration was only a beginning and that a public meeting sponsored by the organized women designed to deal with the strike, would be held today in Toronto. Among those present at the demonstration was Beaches-Woodbine New Democratic MPP Marion Bryden. Ms. Bryden said she hoped her presence would indicate to the government that equal pay legislation needs to be strengthened. Scuffle breaks out Non-striking and striking Fleck workers had a violent confrontation on Thursday at the loading dock entrance to the Fleck plant. After about 20 non-striking workers had gained access to the plant via back roads and through the main gate, a scuffle broke out when a strike supporter blocked the closure of the electrically operated doors of the loading dock area. “Some of our people were inside the loading dock area and I didn’t want them to be trapped inside,” said a striker who refused to be identified. In the melee, boards and tires were being thrown around with two fights in­ volving four men taking place, the striker said. Meanwhile, the cost of policing the Fleck plant is still up in the air with figures presented by solicitor­ general George Kerr and Police commissioner Harold Graham differing. Kerr told the Ontario legislature that the cost is somewhere in the neigh­ borhood of $400,000. Graham told a Toronto newspaper last week that from March 6 to May 15 the force had rung up expenses of $501,974 for ac­ commodation, meals, transportation, overtime and standby time for officers sent to the strike site from detachments across southern Ontario. Kerr promised the legislature he would try to provide it with accurate figures. Cliff Pilkie, president of the Ontario Federation of Labour was expected to be at the Fleck plant this morning for another major demon­ stration.

The runners will carry batons containing a ceremonial scroll to be signed by local dignitaries in each location. Michael Gee, National Director of “The big run for little brothers” said the funds raised by the runs will be used to assist more little brothers and to expand the service to other Canadian communities. Gee said, “There are more than 400,- 000 Canadian boys without fathers. We have to expand our efforts because, to date, we have been able to reach only 10,000 of these boys with our ‘One Boy, One Man’ concept of service.” Gee said that of the funds raised on the run, 90 percent would return to the com­ munity raising the money to expand their local Big Brothers service. The other 10 percent will be used to es­ tablish new Big Brother operations in Canada. The run is the first time Big Brothers have organized a national fund-raising drive. The Hon. John Robarts, former Premier of Ontario and now the co- chairman of the Task Force on Canadian Unity, has been named the honorary chair­ man of the drive and Richard M. Thomson, chair­ man and chief executive of­ ficer of the Toronto- Dominion Bank is the cam­ paign’s honorary treasurer. Many Canadian politicians, athletes, and entertainers have given their support to the run. Celebrities backing the event include; two provin­ cial Premiers, Frank Moores of Newfoundland and William Bennett of British Columbia; hockey players, Bobby Orr, Yvan Cournoyer, Bobby Hull and entertainers Rene Simard, Dan Hill and Valdy, a long with Miss Canada 1978, Catherine Swing? Gee said the decision to stage a national fund-raising event was taken “Because the run will be a national event, Big Brothers is a national organization and the need is Canada-wide.” Rev. Wright said the local group now has six Big Brothers matched up with boys without fathers and six more youngsters on a waiting list. TENNIS ANYONE?
