PENSIONS MAJOR GOAL

TORONTO — The annual
policy conference of the 120,-
000-member Canadian wing
of the United Steelworkers of
America endorsed a call by
its national director for a bar-
gaining program aimed at
providing major pension
gains.

William Mahoney, the un-
ion’s national director, in his
report to nearly 400 delegates

urged as a goal a total retire-
ment income of 75 percent of
best earnings for an employee
with 30 years of service.

The conference called for
total retirement benefits at
this level payable as early as
age 60 and at a lower age
after fewer years of service
for those forced into retire-
ment because of disability
and for survivors.

GOOD
QUESTION

“When there is only 3 cents
worth of wheat in a loaf of
bread, why should the loaf re-
tail for 23 cents? Why should
the cartons containing a few
carrots or tomatoes cost more
than the farmer received for

the carrots or tomatoes in the
first place?”
—W. W. Warnock in the
Commonwealth, Regina, Sask.
