At the regular monthly
meeting of the Ontario
Federation of Agriculture in
Toronto, it was decided to
approach the government to
set •upa provisional corn
marketing board to prepare
plan a vote of Ontario corn
producers on the establish-
ment of such a board. OFA
has obtained the required
number of signatures to
proceed with the petition.
This will make corn produc-
ers in Ontario eligible for
federal advance 'payments
said Merle Gunby, R. R. 1,
Dungannon, a member of the
OFA board of directors.. OFA

pended plans for the compul-
sory check -off for all farmers,
while other alternatives are
investigated. The compul-
sory check -off was to be in
the form of a tax levy to be
designated toward a speci-
fied agricultural research.
Gunby said he agreed reluct-
antly to the temporary sus-
pension because, as some
board members pointed out,
OFA must have better fun'd-
.ing. OFA has reached the
stage where a better method
of funding is necessary if
OFA is to continue the job it
is supposed to do said
Gunby.

Lockout shows
processor's control
in industry
The lock -out of Canada
Packers of some 4,000 work-
ers, in selected meat packing
plants across Canada, clearly
demonstrates the control the
giant corporate processor has
over the industry, and its
lack of compassion for work-
ers, farmers or consumers,
says Blake Sanford, Ontario
Co-ordinator, National Farm-
ers Union.
"One can only feel com-
plete disgust with the tactics
being taken by Canada
Packers in their so-called
support for Swift Packing
Co., whose 24000 workers are
•
on strike."
He said hog producers in
Ontario are experiencing
difficulty in delivering hogs
because of the lack of
slaughtering facilities, Parti-
ally because of the `Swift
strike but largely because of
the Canada Packers lock -out.
"Yet, while Canada Pack-
ers gives it to the workers,
farmers, and public they are
also shafting the Swift Com-
pany because in locations
where there are no Swift
plants Canada Packers is
operating at capacity." In
other words, "all Swift
plants are closed but just ..
some of Canada Packers."
Mr. Sanford said Schneid-
ers have been working
around the clock to fully
utilize its capacity. Burns, he
said, are apparently only
working regular shifts, be-
cause the union has refused
over -time due to the fact that
Burns would not hire any of
the locked -out Canada Pack-
ers workers.
"Surely such escapades
will clearly illustrate to those
who believe there is great
competition in the packing
industry, that the giant
makes the decisions." Mr.
Sanford said the government
should, in the interest of the
public immediately pass em-
• ergency legislation ordering
Canada Packers to resume
operations, or face stiff fines
each day they perpetuate the
collusion games.
