The VAN COT, TVER SlN: Jan. 1072 "Swond-rUtt mail. rrc tUraiioR auiulwr IJ" 4 Klan 'arrests' fail Guards occupy Strike for rights seen by teachers Quebec jails The guards charged that the TULSA, Okla. (AP) Four Tulsa men, including the grand dragon of the Oklahoma Ku Klux Klan, attempted a citizens' arrest of the cast of the musical Hair during a nude scene Sunday night. The four contended the performance violated city ordinances including laws against obscenity, profanity, sexual innuendo and perversion.

City prosecutor Jack Morgan refused to authorize police officers lo enforce the arrests on grounds the federal courts had ruled no such laws were violated by the production. The Klansmen. including Grand Dragon Lloyd French, left the theatre peacefully but with security guards at their side. The men were seated about 10 rows from the stage of the city-owned theatre, and the lights had just dimmed for UNION PROTESTS 200 city workers fired The Vancouver Civic Employees Union protested today against the firing of 200 outside workers, claiming they were being victimized because of the cost of snow removal Ibis winter. Union officials scheduled a meeting with civic officials this afternoon to discuss the firings and a unioo meeting tonight to plan future a-ion.

Union secretary David $cr tin said Ihe men were Friday and were told there was no work for them. Werlin claimed the reason is that the city has spent $700,000 in snow removal this year and now is trying to save on wages to pay that bill. He said this was unfair because the men had given up hulidays and other time off to keep traffic moving through the snow this winter and now, because there was no snow, were being fired. Werlin stressed the fired workers are nut "casuals" but men who have worked for the city for up to 15 years. He disputed the city claim there is no work to be done and said the union will draw up a list of necessary projects along the lines of the men's usual work on pavements and roads.

Pion said the occupations were not sanctioned by the union executive. "The men acted on their ow At no time, though, he said, would the guards start a full-scale strike.

"At least we understand our functions," Pion said, "and will not jeopardize the provincial penal system by irresponsible action.

B.C. HOSPITALS Mediation accepted The 14 member executive of the B.C. Hospital Employees Union decided Sunday lo go before the controversial B.C. Mediation Commission and accept its binding settlement of the union's contract with hospitals in the province. The executive of the 10.500-member union made the deci-son after days of emergency discussion during which they were split on whether to conduct an illegal strike to force a settlement outside the commission, withhold strike, action but also ignore the mediation commission, or appear before the commission.

Anticipating demands for militancy, Robertson said action would start through the process of attempting to persuade the government, members of the opposition and the general public "to consider this legislation very, very carefully." "If the government pursues its policy the teachers must reach a decision. The ultimate decision would be strike action Referring to last March 19, hen 22,000 teachers staged a one-day strike in support of demands for better pensions for teachers already in retirement, Robertson said he does not doubt that the general membership would support vigorous, aggressive and militant action. One of Ihe steps in a progressing program of militancy as required would be working to rule. Robertson said the refusal to live with the government's planned course of action means federation officers must be prepared to advise the membership to go on strike and remain on strike "until the government takes positive action." Earlier the federation president had said Brothers' plan to impose new salary increase limitations on teachers meant he could no longer counsel teachers to take a conservative, co-operative approach to the government. He said he would advise teachers not to enter arbitration proceedings.

Officers at Bordeaux were put in the prison's cafeteria Sunday during the occupation, but a spokesman for the guards said they were able to leave when they wished. A guard at the prison said Sun-day night that all the officers had left. He said all the prison's 450 guards were in the jail and those that were not on duty were in the cafeteria. Normal patrols and duties were being carried out and the prisoners were co operating, he said. The gate of the prison was blocked by trucks and no one was allowed in Sunday.

Sixty guards at the Waterloo detention centre began their occupation at about 7 p.m. Pion said Choquette had told Hie peace officers' union a year ago that the government would attend to their contract negotiations.

The Roman Catholic primate of all Ireland, William Cardinal Conway, and the Bishop of Londonderry Most Rev. Neil Farren, sent telegrams lo Heath demanding an "immediate, impartial and independent inquiry" into Sunday's incidents. The shooting began at the end of a march by thousands of people contravening a government ban on processions lo protest the government's policy of interning suspected terrorists without trial.

The marchers had intended to hold a rally in front of the Guildhall in central Londonderry but, because of heavy troop concentrations, the main body gathered instead at a Bogside street corner. Stones, bottles, chair legs and pieces of iron grating were thrown at troops, who retaliated with rubber bullets. The paratroops sent "snatch squads" through the barricades to get the ringleaders, followed by more paratroops. Then the firing broke out. more to kum Rev.

But he added: "We have made proposals for a restructuring of the bargaining process to simplify the procedure, defuse the antagonism generated at the local level by the annual confrontation, and produce a more consistent provincial pattern.

"This legislation, far from achieving these desirable objectives, has added yet another step to the complicated bargaining procedure which will certainly do nothing to improve relations between the teachers and the government, and potentially between teachers and trus.lees at Ihe local level." Smedley said the mailer is so complicated it is imperative that he receives the views of member boards. "Consequently we are conducting a survey of opinion of all school boards before deciding on a definite course of action." In an interview following Ihe introduction of his amendments, Brothers indicated raises which school boards would be able to give teachers would he tied to the government's raises to its own civil servants. Explaining why no percentage figure was contained in Ihe legislation, he said: "Say next year we only wanted to give our civil servants a five-per-cent increase, then we could change the regulations (for teachers' salaries)." In reply, Robertson says teachers will not enter into a process which pretends to give teachers bargaining rights but which in fact sets salaries by ministerial dictate or decree.

The lil-year-old executive director of the A. Philip Randolph Institute of New York was freed in his own recognizance for a hearing later today.

Fischer, accompanied by bis U.S. Chess Federation official Ed Fd-mundson, said he was tired and went straight to bed. Euwe later said Spassky had submitted a list of four countries where he wauled to play. Fischer had listed only two possible sites, and neither of these were on Spassky's list, he said.
