Only 140 of the strikers Are actually affected by the dispute Over pay so that a very Small Tail appears to be wagging a very Large dog.

The political damage that May be done to the government and the trades Union c o n y r e s s roughly comparable to the Alf-c1o. Last month the govern ment in the face of implacable opposition from nearly every Quarter abandoned its attempt to push through parliament an Industrial relations Bill that would have provided a 28-Day Cooling off period in labor disputes and imposed fines on Wildcat strikers. Tie Tuc principal Backer of the labor government thought it amounted to unwarranted government interference in its affairs and forced a Compromise. The Compromise amounted to no More than a solemn and binding pledge from the Tuc to police its own movement by intervening in Wildcat strikes recommending settlements and expelling unions that failed to discipline their members. In the steel strike the Tuc through general Secretary Vic Feather has tried to impose its Wil on the Union involved but in this Case the Union itself has been unable to bring its dissidents into line. Whether the government already humiliated in its failure to pass what Many considered a mild Industrial relations Reform Bill can do any better remains to be seen. Canadian recording firms criticized by Robert Mackay Toronto up the Mckenna Mendelson mainline stink. That s the name of the most recent album released by a Canadian pop group. The Mckenna Mendelson mainline a Toronto blues group has just returned from a european tour during which it played at the utrecht pop festival in the Netherlands along with such groups As the Pink Floyd Jimi Hendrix and the pretty things. 11 also spent about six months in Britain playing in nightclubs cutting the stink album and a single from it called better watch out. The red Beard and Long blonde hair of Lead Singer and guitarist Joe Mendelson. Who stands six feel one Inch and weighs 220 pounds make him look like an ancient Viking. About a year ago he placed an advertisement in a Toronto newspaper saying he wanted to Start a blues band. Next Day he received a Call from Mike Mckenna formerly of the ugly ducklings and Luke and the Cana Dian groups which almost made the Mckenna Mendelson mainline was while in Toronto they played on the same Bill As the Fuggs. The canned heat and John Lee Hooker. They were asked to go to Detroit and Back Jeff Beck in the Grande ballroom. Why did they leave with All these things happening while they were based in Toronto Mike Harrison Bass guitarist says it was because they Canadian recording Compa Nies Haven t the Money or the interest in Hie artist that a British or american company might sign with some two bit company in says drummer Mike Nolasco and you can be no. 1 in Toronto but that s As far As you go. Maybe Hamilton and Lon Don ont. That s it. If you be got a worldwide company you can be sure that if the com Pany has the Confidence in the band to record it that your name and your album Are going to get we be got some decent studios right in Toronto but what Good is a decent studio without a decent recording company to hire asks Harrison. Says Mendelson take a Large Independent Canadian company and like they offer an entertainer or a musician or whatever you Call people in the business they offer you nothing. And you meaning us we offer them the biggest Opportunity in the world Man we offer them to become millionaires through our music. There s nothing Here for any musician who wants really to do something As a musician. If you want to work in a bar you can work in a bar in Toronto for the rest of your you want to hear about a Guy who signed with a Cana Dian company .1" Mendelson asks. Have you Ever heard of Ronnie Hawkins Ronnie Hawkins has got a lot of Talent. This Guy. If promoted properly Man could be As big As Elvis pres Ley if it was done right be cause he s got Talent and he s Good. He signed with a Cana Dian company Man and t h e y v e got him by the thumbs. He s largely responsible for the he hired them he taught them what to play he was their Leader for about seven Why then is he still Ronnie Hawkins a Toronto bar enter Tainer and they. The band he signed with a Canadian recording what did the group do in the Netherlands that could t have been done in Canada we hit people Over the head and we really hit says Mendelson. We must have sold a lot of records there he says. You can go Over big in to Ronto but if nobody comes up from the states and discovers you you la just go Back and Forth from the electric circus to the Rock pile until the kids get sick of you or until you rot in hell. There s no future Here Man. If you Don t get a record company from the United states you re going to go the group plans a tour of the United states during which it Hopes to make another recording.
