TORONTO — ‘The price of
bread may be in for a one-
cent increase per loaf. This
was the hint given by Oliver
Hancocks, president of the Na-
tional Council of the Baking
Industry, to that group’s an-
nual conference recently.

Hancocks, who is president
of Consolidated Bakeries Ltd.,
Toronto, said he believed the
price per loaf would be raised
| form 23 to 24 cents. He said
' makers across the country are
finding their profit margins
are too low.

But the same conference was
told by Peter Pirrie, engineer-
iing editor of Bakers Weekly,
that automation is tripling out-
‘put per manhour in leading
bakeries in Canada and the
United States.

In spite of the employers’
legal threats, the violent de-
nunciation of the strikers by
the daily press and the grow-
ing attacks of the police, the
strike is rapidly growing into
a general strike of the con-
struction trades — with the
defeat of the union-busting
Labor Act as one of its objec-

tives.

||Football stars speak up

for B.C. freedom rider

Sports expressed its internationalism last week in
support of the Freedom Riders in the southern United
States.

Four of Canada’s top foot-
ballers joined with others in
letters to the Edmonton Jour-
nal in support of Michael
Audain, a student at the Uni-
versity of British Columbia,
arrested for joining the Free-
dom Riders in Mississippi. The
Journal had termed his actions
“meddling of the most unhelp-
ful kind.”

The four included Negro
stars Rollie Miles, Art and Joe
Walker and Johnny Bright.

In the U.S. Archie Moore,
following the successful de-
fense of his light heavyweight
title, told the television audi-
ence that he was donating $1,-
000 to the freedom riders and
purchasing a $500 life member-

Colored People.

They also observed:

“We were, at first, startled

Straitjacket on labor
aim of new Quebec bill

By MACK MACKAY

The Quebec government has sneaked a shocking anti-,
labor bill through the Legislative Assembly, railroading:
through the anti-strike Bill 78 in two days with little:

discussion.

This bill outlaws strikes dur-
ing the life of a contract and
also outlaws strikes by non-
recognized unions. All griev-
ances may go to compulsory
arbitration but the employer
can even block this procedure
by obtaining injunctions
against unions through the
courts.

Recognized by whom? Many
long-established unions in Que-
bec came into being long be-
fore the Quebec Labor Rela-

eee

tions Board was set up.

This body was such a stooge
organization for the Duplessis ~
regime that it didn’t certify
many of these unions who con- ©
tinued to represent the work- |
ers.

The fact that the Union Na-
tionale opposition didn’t say
one adverse word about this |
bill and that it was not pub- |
licized fully in the press shows |
that it is fully supported ‘by!
all the forces-of reaction. 4
