The Citizen. Ottawa, Wednesday, August 29, 1979, Page 23 Firms fear small bottle regulations coming out drafting specific technical regulations under the Hazardous Products Art. In August, he announced a ban tied to the tip-test. The latest ban eliminates the tip-test and includes none of the technical regulations Lawrence had earlier said were needed. violent explosions when tipped over or dropped.

In some cases the bottles exploded spontaneously in cupboards or on store shelves. Lawrence said at the time he was asking for a voluntary ban because he did not have the power to introduce a total ban ith (From page Jumbo) Soft drink companies now are worried about Consumer Affairs Minister Allan Lawrence's plan to regulate small bottles. Lawrence announced Tuesday a federal ban on all l.S litre bottles, sending the companies scurrying for suitable replacements. A glass bottle surround ed by a plastic shield is available in some parts of the U.S., but it is not re-fillable, said Tibor Gregor, spokesman for the Canadian Soft Drink Association. The industry is working on a bottle that will go through a caustic soda washer so the bottle can be re-used." Refillable bottles are required by law in Ontario.

The soft drink association has asked the provincial cabinet to approve sale of non-refill-ables. but there has been no reply, Gregor said. Two-litre non-rcfillable plastic bottles are being sold in three provinces that allow them Quebec, Alberta and Manitoba. Coke spokesman David In yr Steele said Coke is worried by Lawrence's statement that smaller bottles will be regulated next. "Setting aside what seems to be the withdrawal of a regulation (the tip-test) simply on the grounds of Coke's ability to conform to it, the statement about regulations for other sizes is just as equal a concern.

I don't know how we or bottlers anywhere in Canada can conduct our business under that kind of a threat. Steele said he had seen no evidence that the government had been pressured to drop the tip-test because it gave Coke an advantage in the market. "But obviously there are interested groups that would be pleased at this." Lawrence asked for a voluntary ban on 1.5-litre bottles in June after reports of several injuries, including one to a child who lost an eye.

Next week's return to school by area students, about 10,000 of whom use OC Transpo, is likely to increase public demand for settlement of the strike.

The new offer still gives drivers a total increase in hourly wages of 16.5 per cent over two years, but provides for more back pay. Drouin said the proposal to offer the 1980 increase in two stages of four per cent each was not acceptable to his members. fie said he would press for a full cight-per-cent increase each year, with the second year's increase compounded on the first. This is slightly less than the union has been seeking.

Up to now, it has said it wanted eight per cent the first year and 8.S per cent, compounded, in the second year. While Transpo is now offering a full eight per cent in the first year, the second year's increase works out to a six-per-cent jump in earnings in 1980, compared with 1979. Drivers are demanding eight per cent. Chaput said eight per cent each year "is simply too much." Drouin estimated the faiiuni i "I rQ- lliiil Sr 1 PL. ix" Mm J.I "It Stanfield undecided on meet with PLO (jr (V 5 Squirrel IJostess assorted potato chips peanut butter difference between the two sides is now about $350,000, which, he said, is not very much over a two-year contract.

I am looking forward to a settlement. I think we will be able to reach some kind of a settlement. I don't think there's too much separating us," Drouin said. Chaput, while hopeful the buses will be back next week, would not commit himself on how near the two sides are to an agreement. That depends on how the rank-and-file of drivers feel, how the public feels and how regional politicians feel, he said.

Any agreement worked out by Chaput and Drouin and their respective colleagues must be approved both by the regional transit commission and the drivers themselves. Chaput said under the new offer, the drivers would make SI 00 a month more this year than last year or a total of $1,200. including $800 in back pay. Next year, he said, the drivers would earn an addititional $1,000.

The spokesman would not say whether a meeting with the PLO was ruled out or a meeting has not yet been considered. Canadian Arab Federation representatives told Stanfield last week he must speak to the PLO if he wants to hear all points of view on the government's proposal to move the Canadian embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Federation president Khalcd Mouammar said Stanfield indicated he had not decided who he would be meeting. Stanfield is scheduled to leave in mid-September.
