SAILORS SEEKING MORE
PAY, .OTHER BENEFITS
With negotiations now going
on between members of Sea-
larers International Union and
the Canadian Lakecarriers As-
sociation for a new 1956 eon -
tract, there is a possibility
that a strike maw come in
the spring which would affect
members of the crews of boats
coming into Goderich.
Numerous benefits are being
sought by the SIU negotiating
commit tee, which include pay-
ment on an hcpurly rate basis
rather than the present month-
ly rate basis. If the new pay
rate were obtained it would
amount to just about double
what is being received by
crews now, according to a
Goderich member of the SIU.

District Fanners Plan To Attend Meet
At Toronto On "Commodity Marketing"
A conference Of Ontario com-
modity groups on March 13 and 14
at the Eaton Auditorium, College
and Yonge streets,Toronto, to re,
view the entire question, of com-
modity marketing is annenneed by
V. S. Milburn, secretary-mairager
of 'the Ontario Federation of Agri-
culture. The meeting starts at
10.30 a.m. our March 13 and at
10 a.m. on Mareh 14, Mr. Milburn
made the announcement immedi-
ately following a meeting in Tor-
onto of the Ontario FederatiOn of
Agriculture directors, and direct-
ors from Ontario's 22 commodity
groups.
The secretary -manager said that
preparations will be made to ac-
commodate approximately 1,000
delegates andenembere of Ontario
farm organizations who will he
attending the marketing confer-
ence.
"Inkeeping with the Ontario
Federation of Agriculture's policy
of `self-help'," Mr. Milburn said
that "the conference was being
coiled to help clarify what were
the respective areas of responsi-
bility of Ontario fariners, the pro-
vincial government, and the fed-
eral .government in the field of
marketing."
Ontario farmers have to estab-
''A
lish clearly what their responsibil:
ities are to amake the Ontario
farm peoducts marketing programs
a success. Once having establish-
edethese responsibilities, then it
will be up to' 'the conference to
look to the future to see how these
responsibilities can be carried
out," Mr. Milburn said. "Admit;
tedly there has 'been a serious
deterioration in farm prices, and
governments have a responsibility
to formulate certain policies to
help us stem this faxm price trend,
but farmers themselves have to
shoulder some of the responsibil-
ity for clearing up this situation."
Mr. Milburn said that discussion
at the conference would likely
touch on marketing legislation, a
detailed review of specific nrob-
lems facing individual commodity
groups, and a number of resolu-
tions looking forward to a co-
ordinated plan of action by the
commodity groups for the months
ahead.
Mr. Doug McNeil, president of
the Huron County Federation of
Agriculture, held a meeting, at
Clinton on Tuesday afternoon at
which he informed the presidents
of some 16 district townships of

onto.
