The question as to whether
iurther action should be taken
by Council regarding results of
the recent labor lobby was de-
bated, with delegates Robert Gor-
mack and J. Hamilton irvine:
pressing for another interview
with the Hart government for
what they termed “an unsatisfae-
tory situation.” Delegate Tom
Parkin of the Aeronautical Me-
chanics disagreed, maintaining
that the government’s promise
to set up a joint labor and gov-
ernment committee had been a
distinet victory. This was con-
curred in by William Black of
the Civic Hmployees Federation.

Secretary Gervin explained
that the Trades Gouncij execu-
tive had called a meetings of local
union business agents and secre-
taries where the matter of the
labor lobby was discussed, and it
was agreed that ‘no sgood° pur-
pose would be served by seeking
a second interview.’

(It is understood that the BC:
executive of the Trades and Ta-
bor Gongress has agreed to nomi-
nate three AFI. representatives
to the joint committee proposed
by Labor Minister Pearson last
week.)
