H. Dickie, Ontario assistant deputy minister of labor, at 1 a.m. He was expected to deliver them to management negotiators this morning. TORONTO (CP) Described by the union as a settlement position, a pared-down set of proposals was submitted early today to the mediators in the strike of 4,000 outside civic workers, including garbage collectors, which has entered its 22nd day.

Local 43 had been seeking 33 and 32 cents for each year which would mean a raise to $169.20 a week. Affected in the dispute besides garbage have been ferryboat service, street cleaning and emergency ambulance service. About 750 supervisors have maintained operations in sewage-treatment and water purification plants, also hit.
