Officials of the Canadian province of Ontario contacted breweries in the United States in search of beer amid a labor dispute that has shut down most production and distribution. Albert Campion of the Ontario Consumer Affairs Ministry said at least 100,000 cases of American beer may have to be imported soon. Almost 4,000 employees of the Molson, Labatt and Carling breweries, and of a company that operates 450 retail beer outlets, were locked out more than a week ago after talks broke down with two unions on pay and job security.
