9,000 phone workers in Canada enter third week on strike  
More than 9,000 Communications, Energy and Paperworkers members have been on strike against Bell Telephone in Quebec and Ontario since April 9. In both provinces, courts have decreed no one is to be prevented from crossing the line or to be "intimidated." Above, phone workers protest as Canadian cops force through scabs at Bell headquarters in Montreal. Bell strikers there joined locked-out workers at Bell ActiMedia in a 300-strong demonstration April 20. In Toronto Canadian Auto Workers brought lunch and firewood to the lines. On April 28 strikers from both cities picketed the Bell Canada shareholders' meeting in Ottawa.
