‘Prices Up---Eating Down

Consumption of meat in Canada is steadily dropping as

prices go steadily upwards.

And in the past year the amount of meat eaten dropped

by more than 5,000,000 pounds.
No-one need wonder why!

SECOND strike within a year, against the Masonite Corporation, Laurel, M
fully concluded by IWA Local Union 4-443 with a 10 cents an hour wage gain, and other
substantial contract improvements.

has been success-

Announcing the victory, International Secret ary-Treasurer Carl Winn recently expressed ap-
preciation of the general financial assistance tendered by Local Unions in aid of the strikers.

DECISIVE VOTE of 664, reg-
istered an IWA victory over the
AFL at McCloud, California, in
an NLRB election. International
1st Vice-President Al Hartung
pointed out that the AFL Lumber
& Sawmill workers apparently
lack inter-union scruples in that
they prefer to raid fellow woods
unions rather than organizing the
unorganized. Time and time again
they have continued to raid estab-
lished IWA-CIO locals and time
and time again they have been
soundly defeated.

SPECIAL “CERTIFICATE of
Cooperation” has been given to
the IWA - CIO through Interna-
tional President J. E. Fadling by
Wm. C. Foster, head of the Eco-
nomic Co-operation Administra-
tion. al

The award is a “token of our
Bratitude to you for assisting
visitors from Western Europe in

gaining a better understanding of |this company to abide by provi-

the U.S. economy and thus help-
ing to make the Technical Assist-
ance program a powerful factor
in the strengthening of Western
Europe,” Foster said.

Foster said the ECA has defin-
itely played a major role in mak-
ing Western Europe “strong
enough to resist Communist ag-
gression.”

TENANTS
WORRIED

Quebec Province plans to go
into rent control on April 30, one
month after federal controls are
scheduled to expire.

In B.C. as yet, the provincial
government has made no decision
one way or the other, much to
the anxiety of harried tenants.

For the period up to August 1,
in Quebec, until machinery is set
up, it will be illegal to evict any
person—even those who did not
have security of tenure under the
federal law.

But the proposed law affords
the landlord a number of unusual
grounds for seeking recovery of
premises. Within this section, he

can, by a notice to the tenant,| —
regain possession for himself, his]

mother-in-law, father, son, daugh-

ter-in-law, son-in-law or any oth- |
er relation whose principal sup- |’

port he is.

throw the dirt.
