The board also was asked to advise Sister Audrey by N,Vednesdav night, whether the board would meet to negotiate with Mr Murphy. This telegram from the teacher, was sent in answer to done from the hoard �rvhich Sister Audrey received Tuesday morning. It said "The hoard's negotiating committee is available to meet with the local negotiating committee of the teachers to continue negotiations so that a mutually acceptable agreement can he reached."

'Concerned that the board might refuse to meet with Peter Murphy of the Ontario English Catholic Teachers' Association. The teachers agreed, in that event, to send a telegram "to rhe ministry of education requesting a mediator to settle the salary' dispute. They will then send, as well, a telegram to the board chairman requesting the board to ask for a mediator too, to settle the salary dispute. Prior to the start of the meeting, two representatives of the ministry of education met with the teachers' salary negotiating team. They ex- plained the emergency (Bill 274) which Ontario education minister Thomas Wells is proposing regarding the teachers' bargaining rights. The local negotiators ex- pressed their displeasure with Bill 274, especially the sections -that ruled that the resignations are void and forced the com- pulsory arbitration. Following this, the teachers held their meeting to discuss the legislation and the current salary impasse. The teachers elected Gary -Birmingham of Stratford, communications of- ficer for the `Huron -Perth. unit to attend the emergency meeting being held in the West- bury Hotel in -1 pronto, Satur- day. -He will express the displeasure of the teachers with Mr. Wells' emergency legislation and discuss a possible one -day walkout. The teachers questioned whether the legislation making resignations void was legal as Mr. Wells proposed. I'U1(k fllIh / Step in Fashion this Christmas with a Long Party Dress from Schaefer's.
