Original Toronto Star caption: Picket lines such as this one at Douglas Aircraft in Malton last October would vanish from the Canadian scene if a special labor court were established that had the power to hand down binding verdicts on all labor disputes; Elwy Yost argues in this letter. Appeals could go to higher courts.
