THE WESTERN CANADIAN LUMBER WORKER sits

States MacEachen

Federal Labour Minister
MacEachen in his address to
the 23rd International Conven-
tion of the IWA in Vancouver,
stated that the government
needs the advice of labour
people,

“The present government
recognizes that economic and
social progress in today’s
world calls for a certain co-
ordination of outlook and of
effort on the part of labor,
management, the government
and other groups,” he said.

“Tt is my hope and expecta-
tion that — whatever differ-

ences of opinion we may hold
on particular issues—we will
be able greatly to improve our

techniques of consultation and

discussion.”

Saying that the government
will not hesitate to seek the

advice and aid of organized
labor, Mr. MacEachen added:

“Tt needs their active partici- ’

pation in certain programs,
notably our new economic
council.”

He said he is confident that
labor’s advice and aid will be
“freely forthcoming.”
