The answers supplied’ Wednes-
day by: Ted. Leather, Toronto-
born member of. ‘Britain’s Par-
Nament, included. some bitter
words for. both, labor and man-
agement, :

. To the employers, he said: ‘

“The ultimate: responsibility
for good human relations .
must -rest with management,
and management has. not done
its duty unless it is continuously
exploring every: possible. means
of improving matters in its in-
dustry, In the community and if
every sjnglie company. and
factory. '

“Everything that can be done
to treal workers as a part of the
enterprise and-nog just as tools
of management must be done ,¢.
They must be given every op-
portunity to attain status and
human dignity...

“Porsonnel relations 1s not the
ultinate responsibility of some
nice young chap who stands to
atlontion and calls the presi-
dent ‘sir.’ Tt is, and can only:
successfully be, the responsibil-

 

 

 

ity of the president of the com-

‘pany himsvlf.” »

Then the outspoken Conserva-
tive MP turned to Inbor, He de-
serlbed British Columbia's rec-

ord of industrial ‘disputes as
“very nearly the worst in tho
world" and said labor leaders

“must boar the brung of the ro- -

CASTRO: REPORTED ILL
Castro had scheduled a press

but called it off with word that
he was ill. -The nature of his ill-
ness was not disclosed, but the
strenuous life he has led during
the last two weeks probably was
telling on him.

19 persons were put to death in
Camaguey, 320 miles east of Ha-
vana, for political murders and
tortures during the regime of
ousted dictator Fulgencio Ba-
tista,
