From page I

those who had noted recent de-
velopments in the lumber indus-
try, the consensus of opinion was
hot flatly opposed to all immigra-
tion. It was contended that im-
migration should be so planned
as to add to the working force as
required without any lowering of
standards considered acceptable
for Canadians.

It was also reported that the
officials of the Workmen’s Com-
pensation Board had, at the re-
quest of the IWA, commenced an
investigation into the alleged
violation of the accident preven-
tion regulations in the employ-
ment of men at hazardous work,
without a Imowledge of the lan-
guage required.

Camp meetings at Camp “B”,
Franklin River, and Camp 8
(Bloedels) have continued to
press for more adequate atten-
tion to safety. Main considera
tions are safety training for in-
experienced men and instruction
in the English language for new
Canadians. Laxity on the part of
supervisory officials with regard
to safe working procedures re-
ceived the most vigorous censure
from the Local Union officials.
Progress is reported.

Difficulties which arose with
respect to longshoring at Tahsis
have received the careful atten-
tion of IWA and ILWU officers
and a satisfactory agreement is
in prospect.
