Original Toronto Star caption: Just helping out: Five-year-old Matthew Schlauch finds his wagon comes in handy to haul garbage to this temporary dump in North York's Caribou Park yesterday as the strike by the city's civic workers drags on. Optimism that a settlement was near faded yesterday after the latest round of talks between the city and union to end the 12-day-old strike ended in failure.
