IWA GAINS PRESTIGE

By STUART M. HODGSON

Woodworkers on both Coasts—East and West—are
now assured of recognition for a growing prestige. This
is shown in the national labor field by the recent appoint-
ment of-H. Landon Ladd to the Committee of International
Affairs of the Canadian Congress of Labor, in addition to
his recent appointment to the Organization Committee of
the Congress.

Wherever the IWA has repre-~
sentation on Congress standing
committees it is generally under-
stood that it would be filled by
representation from the East,
because of the distance and the
terrific expense to transport IWA
representatives from the West to
attend various committee meet-
ings that are called between sit-
tings of the Convention.

Millard’s Report

Of great interest to Executive
Council members in attendance
at the June meetings was a re-
port from C. H, Millard that Ca-
nada is in the big league as far
as the International labor field is
concerned.

‘The contribution made by the
€anadian Congress of Labor is
recognized throughout the world
as being the highest on a per
eapita basis. As recognition of
this contribution, the ICFTU is
attempting to make the neces-
* sary arrangements to have either
: their President, Sir Vincent Tew-
son, or Secretary-General Olden-
broek in attendance at the next

Congress Convention, being held
in Montreal.

ICFTU Progress

On the International field the
ICFTU generally is making good
progress. Training centres have
been established at Calcutta, and
at Accra, on the Gold Coast of
Africa.

Special attention is being given
to the organizing of land work-
ers, tea gardens, plantations, etc.
Effective progress in bettering
the score of the working people
has been made in West Germany,
Holland, and portions of Scan-
dinavia,

A number of reports were sub-
mitted to the recent meeting of
the Congress Executive, and in-
dications were that all depart-
ments are working in complete
harmony with the prospect that
the Congress is going to have its
most successful year on record.

Special attention is going to be
given to the Province of Quebec,
where thousands of workers are
waiting to be organized.

The dissension and sharp dif-

ferences of opinion that arose at
last year’s convention have been
largely resolved, and all Unions
within the Congress are striving
to make the Congress a major
force throughout the Dominion.

Preparations are under way to
ensure a complete review of the
working man’s financial position
in the economy of the country
and the major inudstries at the
coming Convention.
