S THERE ANYWHERE else in get this straight by Doug Collins King Roy isn’t God the world where a bunch of building unions would put a world fair at risk? I don’t think so. You can't imagine it happening in New York. You can’t even imagine it happening in London. We are unique. We suffer from the British Columbia disease, and what we needed was a doctor. The doctor has now ap peared in the person of Bill Bennett, and he has prescerib ed a purge It was itn conceivable, really, that he would have cancelled Expo in the face of a threat trom the geniuses of the building trades. But it was possible Now, the doctor ts about to ensure that the patient ts not tor burial The thing was) mind boggling, when you come to think of oat His Rovwal Highness Rov Gautier. King of the Building Trades, had a regal monopoly He would Rractously consent ta have unwashed non union peasan try on the Expo building site provided they are paid the same bloated rates that the roval retainers received = In short, he flaunted the roval prerogative of stopping CONstruchon TOOK HIS HEAD That's exacth the way Charles the Parst operated, and vou know what happen ed to him He couldn't ger rt into his head that he wasn't GsOd, so they took his head off tor him Doctor Bennett has announced he will Thaw take Gautier’s head off Exactly how he will do it was not clear at cHts writing but there are several ways of doing it without getting blood all over the scaffold. ‘““No one, not even a politician, wants [to make that big a fool of himself.’”’ Clearly, he will pass specia! legislation for the preserva tion of Expo. He will make wt illegal tor people to go on strike simply because non-umon workers are on the same site He might even pass right to work laws that apply only to Royal Rov’s mob, because vou can't tell me that the working people of this pro Sine would support oa general strike aun aid of the ROUTINE feather bedding building trades. Who wants tO go tO war so that guys can be paid living-out expenses when they're living at home? NECK IN NOOSE Some people thought that Bennett wanted to drop Expo on account of its costing a fot more than had been ev. pected. But that had to be a bunch of propaganda spread by the king’s men and yulli- ble media types No one, not even a politician, make that big a tool ot himself No, | believe the situation to be what Jimmy Pattison said if was the pro vince would have put its neck IN a Noose if te went ahead without an wron clad guarantee that bapo. woll open on time It would have been hostage to the king, and what we wanted was the supremacy of parlament Gautier claimed he was be Ing reasonable “Why. he sard. all innocence, agreed to let non-umion workers onto the rob All the contractors have to dois pay them the same mones as we get and we won't even de mand that they get the fringe benetits like the feather bedding © Big deal’ But he would still have had the power to shut her down You would think, (rom the wav he talked. that his whole kingdom was at stake I wasnt Ato most. -oam told.
