Now the As- sociation will be able to enter into a collective bargaining _ procedure with the govern- ment, governing wages and conditions of employment. However, nothing in the bill gives the employees the right to strike. Instead, mediation procedures are outlined.

Eric Pear- son was elected the alternate delegate. It was announced at the meeting that Albert Rose, a long-time officer and member of Local 1-357, is retiring April 30. Former District President, Stu Alsbury, paid tribute to Albert’s invaluable service to the organization through the years and espe- cially his help during the 1948 crisis when he was a member of the “white bloc,” which offset the Communist take- over of the IWA. A motion to: donate $400 to the Frolek strikers in Kam- loops was overwhelmingly ap- proved by the members and was a further indication that the entire Union endorsed the militant action taken by - Regional President Jack Moore and a number of Local Union officers to stop this Mill operating with scabs. In his address to the meet- ing, Regional President Jack Moore pointed out that the Frolek strike had served one useful purpose. “It has demonstrated,” he said, “that in a crisis all dif- ferences can be laid aside for the good of the organiza- tion.” He added that it was going to ‘be necessary for the mem- bers to demonstrate solidarity on all occasions if they wish- ed to realize their objectives in next year’s negotiations. We must present a united front to the employers, he said, which means that even the luke-warm union mem- ber must be convinced by us to take his rightful place in the activities of the organiza- tion. Regional 2nd Vice - Presi - dent Jack Holst, in his ad- dres, reviewed the progress of the Interior Apprentice- ship Training Programme. He stated the Northern Interior millwrights had established that the programme works and works well. Already, he said, mill- wrights from Williams Lake, Quesnel and Prince George have received certificates from the government examining board and are now entitled to the additional twenty - one cents an hour increase in pay. He added that the Certi- ficates of Apprenticeship granted to these millwrights are approved any place in Canada and it would be folly to downgrade our tradesmen by approving the Certificate of Qualification, which would restrict them moving from job to job.
