THE STEEL WORKERS
ORDERED HOUDAYS
(Rec. 2 p.m.) MONTREAL, April 29
Work holidays affecting 7000 employees in the Canadian defence industries were ordered by the steel workers' organising committee today. In their protest they alleged company violations of Board of Conciliation rulings. \
The holidays will affect two major steel companies in addition to the National Steel Can Corporation, Hamilton, and the Peck Rolling Mills (both of which are held up by strikes).
Some 3400 employees of the Algoma Steel Mills, Ontario, begin their holiday at midnight on Friday and there are 3500 employees of the Dominion Steel Company to ftake. a holiday. Workers elsewhere will follow suit.
The holidays were ordered a few hours after the Prime Minister, Mr. Mackenzie King, banned Labour debates in the House on the ground that they give this dispute significance in the enemy's eyes.—U.P.A.
