Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Bumper-to-bumper traffic inches along yesterday afternoon on University Ave. south of Queen's Park as people who normally would have ridden transit downtown are forced to use their cars. As the strike by Toronto Transit Commission employees entered its 17th day today; Toronto Mayor David Crombie claims that union leaders took only seven minutes to reject Premier William Davis' five-point proposal to end the strike-a claim that the union quickly denied. Crombie revealed the plan last night while being host of a TV show.
