Rev. Olafur Jens Sigurdsson, said in a religious broadcast Dial Fischer, the American challenger for the world championship here, was guilty nf the "sin of greed" and Soviet tilleholder. Spassky the "sin of anger." Fischer was asleep In his quarters; Spassky had gone fishing. The two are scheduled to meet Tuesday in the fust game of their match for the world chess championship. The clergyman's reference to Kischer's alleged "greed" recalled the America n's threat to wreck the 2-1 game series unless the Icelanders gave him more iimne y.

Spassky's anger was shown in Ihe world champion's threat lo alk out unless he got an apology from Lischer for delaying Ihe match over money. Hie match is the talk of Ice-laud, with sentiment mostly favoring Spassky. Fischer's behavior appealed to have eroded his early position as the popular favorite in a place where the Russians aren't well liked. In addition lo resentment at Fischer's demand for money, some Icelanders don't like Ihe fact that he reipiires a police guard and tends to slay out of blL-lit Fischer's favorite chair arrived by air freight from New Yoik Sunday In help assure ids American's comfort in the match, Fischer, who has only once been in the ball wiieie the match is to be piaytd, complained about a number of things, including Ihe (hairs, Ihe light and the board.

A Saturday plebiscite of this Fraser Valley community's i 25, 51)0 residents recorded a 5U.5 per-cent vole in favor uf cocktail lounges and the sei v- I ing nl beer, wine and liipinr in restaurants. A 55 per cent ma- 1 jority was needed tu pass.

Haynes said the CLRA was using the Kamlnops issue as an excuse to hold up the talks until Ihe mediation coininis-sion brings down a binding settlement. "The mediation commission decision can only precipllate a major confrontation," he said. Ihe six unions are united in Iheir opposition to the Mediation Commission and cnmpul. suiy arhilralinn. The iiniuns are supported by the entire labor movement." "The only method of resolving this dispute is through the process of free collective bargaining he added.

"The sooner Ihe eniplovcis and the government recntmue this, the sooner this major dispute will be settled and full construction underway." Charles J. Connaghan. pres ident of Ihe CLHA, later issued a statement saying the di.ipule over Ihe Kamlnnps local was a "pioy" on Ihe part ol the unions. He said the inlernatinnal iilliciliiinil Llectncal Workers had insisted that the Knnilonps local he left out of the agreement. He said the local had signed agreements with independent contractor!) In the Kamloops area, but had not siyned with any CLHA members.

"This is impossible," he said. "There is no way we are going to reach an agreement with part of a union." "The electrical workers' union seems to be trying lo call the shots," Connaghan added "What's right for the rest of the province Is right for Kamlnnps. There is no way it ran be regarded as a separate enclave." The CLRA president said Ihe assncialinii remains ready to resume iiegotialinns individually or collectively wilh any of the six unions, which include the carpenters, plumbers, cement masons, heat and 1 insulators ami boiler makers. Meantime, a CI IU spukes-riiaii said the refusal of Ihe six unions lo return to Work lias foiled a slowdown on must iii.iui- conslruciioii projects in the pi mime. how long it will be before Matsqni outlets will lie licensed, "but when the community is officially declared wet, we will apply fur licensing immediately."
