Peter Heenan Champions Rights of Labor TORONTO, Ont.—Proper labor relations are impossible with- out the guararitee of collective bargaining . That was the declara- tion made by Ontario's Labor Minister Peter Heenan to a meeting of the John Inglis local of the International Association of Ma- chinists this week. Declaring the right of “collective bargaining is the main issue today” in labor relations, Heenan gave the Inglis workers the asurance that his’ proposed Bill would give them that right and that the Ontario government stood behind it. With Heenan on the platform was Alex Reith, IAM Grand Lodge representative, who is leading the campaign to organize the 15,000 Inglis workers. z In a speech that dealt with many of the problems on the minds of trade unionists, the labor minister advocated the formation of labor-management production councils and declared: “I know of no better way to step up production of the tools of war than through such councils. For such cooperation we need collective bargaining. The bill will aid cooperation, morale in industry and help production. “Some people say we're ahead of schedule in this or that plant. I want to tell you that we'll never be ahead of schedule until we've produced the tools to liberate the whole world from Hitler.” Heenan also expressed satisfaction at the fact that he had been instrumental in bringing CIO and AFL organizations to- gether in consultations on the bill, because labor divided. was ineffectual. In conclusion he said: “In the name of the boys overseas I wish to thank you for the magnificent work you are doing.” On behalf of the local, president Fred Collins told Heenan, “I convey to you and your government our pledge that we will do everything possible to extend production for the victorious of- fensive against Hitler.” Ask for “GEORGE” * WEST TAXI * Cars Fully Insured — Reasonable Rates 2 Office and Stand: rs; WEST HOTEL, 444 CARRALL ST.
