President John McCuish, Local 1-71, stated that he rom the sentiment among the members for consolidation of the union was very high. Organizational activity in the camps has resulted in many of them achieving 100 percent organiza- tion, Committees are functio: the union shop is unanimous. He found much resentment against the action taken in con- vention under Article 1, Clauses 4B, 4C and 4D, and the petition is being fully supported. Many of the camps have estab lished functioning Political Ac- tion Committees, ana support for Nigel Morgan, Federat candidate in Comox-Alberni is warmly ex- pressed.

If they stay 39 days they get paid their fare one way, if they stay 78 days they get paid both ways. If they quit before their time they must pay their fare and $10 is deducated from their wages as well.
