Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: No End is Seen in the 5-week-old strike by more than 700 workers at Consumers Glass Co. in Etobicoke if they follow their union executive's recommendation to reject what the company termed its final offer. They were to discuss it today. The major point of the dispute is continuation of a cost-of-living allowance in the new contract. The union has agreed to a 10 per cent wage increase over two years.
