The lowest or any tender not necesarily accepted. H. D. Ladoucier, Head, Tenders and Contracts. Pen employees bypass stand VANCOUVER (CP) Nearly all the British Columbia Penitentiary employees who were there when Mary Steinhauser was shot tried today to keep their stories from the public.

Through a lawyer they made a mass refusal to testify before the Farris commission while it was sitting openly. The move came as the first of the hostages to be called took the stand. Tony Lewis refused to take the oath. saying: I refuse to After discussions between the commissioners and lawyers, Mr. Lewis was stood down and a second hostage called who did start to give evidence.

The day had started with law yer Walley Lightbody, for all the hostages and members of the prison tactical squad, and Derek ('ave, for the prison ad ministration. asking the com mission to hear much of the key evidence in camera, citing safety and possible danger tc life as reasons. Chief Justice John Farris, o1 the B.C*. Appeal Court, who i is heading the commission into the incident June 9 which 15 hostages were by three held" knife-wielding prisoners ruled that in principle all evidence will be held in public, subject to consideration of specific items. Mr.

Cave. representing Doug McGregor. acting regional penitentiary director. penitentiary director Dragan Cernetic, and other officers of the prison administration. gave a nine-point list of what he wanted heard in camera, including: REQUESTED names of personnel in the tactical squad and other antiriot units: -number of personnel in the tactical unit: -duties and deployment of the tactical squad: -communication system and chain command; -standing instructions to the tactical squad and- other riot personnel; -times and numbers of men involved in shift changes; -number of weapons and type used by prison personnel, tactical squad and anti-riot personnel: -use of other agencies, such as the RCMP.

Mr. Justice Farris then told him the general principle is that the proceedings will be held in public and specific reasons will be needed for in camera sessions. Mr. Lightbody, making a similar request, said he wished to call two expert witnesses on the roles played by the various people called to give evidence before the commission. He said if the evidence given by those called by the commission is in public, it will affect their future role in the prison.

The judge said this was not sufficient grounds for it to be heard in camera and added that people may have to be assigned to other duties. "The overriding public interest has to be he added.

MIRROraft The Wheelhouse Marina 1580 STEWART NANAIMO 753-2322 Henry Popp and Jack Lynch, Mr. Justice Farris repeated the ruling and said the commission was not prepared to give any direction on in camera proceedings at this stage. Mr.

Lightbody: "I want to make it very clear in some instances we are talking about lives of particular individuals involved. The judge repeated that he was not prepared to direct any evidence to be heard in camera and commission counsel John Rowan called the first witness of the day, Mr. Lewis. Mr. Lewis first talked to Mr.

Lightbody before taking the stand. When he did so, he gave his refusal to testify. The chief justice told him that the commission has certain powers and one of the things entrusted to it is to make a decision as to whether evidence will be heard in public. We have made a decision that it will be heard in public. You will have to abide by that decision.

I ask you now to reconsider. Mr. Lewis made a reply which was inaudible to reporters and Mr. Lightbody then said he had discussed this particular problem" with all his clients. I think I should advise the commission at this point my instructions-and I understand they are unanimous--are that my clients have taken the position they are rightly concerned with the lives and safety of some of them.

They are refusing to testify in public," he said. He told the commission he had advised his clients of the provisions of the Inquiries Act under which the commission draws its powers. Under the act, anyone refusing to testify is liable, on summary conviction. to a fine not exceeding $400. Mr.

Justice Farris: I take it have not advised them to do "No. It was not on my advice they took this position," Mr. Lightbody replied.

LADOUCIER Head, Tenders and Contracts Air fares move up OTTAWA (CP) Air fares will increase because of higher travel tax and fuel prices announced in Monday night's fedferal budget. Finance Minister John Turner said the air travel tax will be increased Aug.

1 to eight five per cent on travel from points in Canada to centres in Canada or the United States. At present, the tax can be no more than $5 on an individual air ticket, but the government has not yet decided what the new ceiling will be. The tax also will be boosted to a flat $10 a passenger from $5 on flights to countries outside Canada and the United States. When the five-per-cent tax was introduced last year, the airlines said the cost would be passed on to air travellers through higher ticket prices and mentioned the tax this year as one reason for raising domestic air ticket prices. SUPPORTS AIRPORTS The tax, levied on ticket prices paid by the air traveller before boarding the aircraft, is designed to help meet the cost of operating airports run by the transport department.

VANCOUVER (CP) A second union has started taking a strike vote and a third is poised to follow the same course in the deadlocked British Columbia forest industry negotiations. And, for the first time in its history, union spokesmen indicate the industry faces the prospect of a total shutdown of the wood and pulp and paper sections at the same time- as carly as 10 days from now, after the pulp and paper contracts expire at midnight, June 30. About 40 delegates of the Canadian Workers' Union from 17 locals on Saturday Paper, authorized the taking of strike votes among 7,200 members. The voting is to be completed by the July 1 holiday and shutdowns could begin right after the count, a union spokesman said.

The decision to take the vote was the CPU's response to the forest companies' proposal Friday to grant over 40,000 workers in three unions- International Woodworkers of Amerlica, and Pulp, Paper and Woodworkers of Canada-only costofliving increases this year. The offer was a joke and it was treated as said Art Gruntman, CPU's western vicepresident after meeting company negotiators in Vancouver. Reg Ginn, national PPWC president, said that union's wage caucus would meet today to decide when strike votes will be held among the PPWC's 5, 500 members. offer is nothing but a Mr. Ginn added.

"It's impossible to accomplish anything in negotiations when the situation is so BALLOT UNDER WAY The International Woodworkers of America is already conducting a strike vote, with ballots due Friday, seeking a strong mandate among about 30.000 coast members to reject the COLA-only offer. The IWA contract expired at midnight June 14. Jack Munro, IWA western regional president and chief spokesman in negotiations, said the IWA was waiting today to hear if Fred Geddes, the provincial mediator, has been able to arrange a resumption of talks with the companies. Mr. Munro warned a strike could occur because of "the completely unrealistic position" of the industry.

They are discrediting the provincial mediation branch, insulting the mediator's intelligence with their offer, and completely disregarding their employees by insisting there will be no general wage, in crease," he said. Described as their end the offer would extend the 1974 COLA clause, which would provide increases July 1, Oct. 1. and next Jan. 1 and April 1.

The payments would be based on the existing formula of, one cent an hour more for every ,35 rise in the consumer price index in each three-month period. Employees would retain the 24-cent-an-hour increase they gained from the COLA clause negotiated last year, which they have been receiving in addition to their base rates, ranging from $5.10 an hour up to $7.50 an hour for top tradesmen. Mr. Munro said the unions do not accept company statements that the industry is taxed 100 heavily in good years to be able to pay wage increases in bad years, such as 1975, when mar kets are down. DIVERSIFYING a bunch of B.S." he said the money goes is buying up other companies and diversifying into all kinds of dif ferent lines.

Forest Products has just got into the food busi ness and MacMillan Bloedel using money made in B.C. to buy similar operations. such as sawmill and planner mills in the U.S. deep Mr. Gruntman said today he was leaving for a national exec utive meeting of his union scheduled for Tuesday in Mon treal.

He said CPU's 55.000 Cana dian members were involved in negotiations all across the coun try and not just a B.C.. but a Canada-wide strike, is possible against the pulp and paper companies.
