We recommend that the parties agree to fix a-qualifying period before and after any Statutory Holidays. A new clause should be added to this article as follows: It is agreed between the parties that casual labor will not receive pay for Statu- tory holidays. HOURS OF WORK _ We recommend that where the parties can agree, joint application should be made to the Board of Industrial Relations for exemption from the provisions of the Fac- tories Act permitting the working of two hours or less on a Statutory holiday to complete the last shift prior to the holiday at straight time rates. ADJUSTMENT OF GRIEVANCES Clause C, Article 5, be amended by striking out the words “the same individual or”. BOARD & LODGING (Article 21) Delete the words “Where a lesser rate is in effect, that rate shall prevail”. Mr. Smeal wishes to go on record as supporting the union’s request for Union Shop and Mr. Robson similarly wishes to express his support for increased board rates in logging camps, but in the interest of unanimity both have agreed to forego these matters in the Board’s recom- mendations.

OTTAWA — Sonth of the border workers are more union conscious than their Canadian neighbors, according to a U.S. Department of Labor estimate of union membership in the United States. In the 1953 directory of labor unions, total 1952 membership in unions is placed at between 4 and 17 million, This means that one out of every 3.7 persons employed in the 61,460,000-man U.S. labor force is a union mem- CANADIAN RATIO LOW ber. Canada’s record for the same period shows that out of a total labor force of 5,200,000 union members number only 1,146,000, or one in every 4.5 of the total Canadian labor force. Union membership in both Ca- nada and the United States has increased since these figures were compiled but the ratio of union members to the total work force is believed to have remained very much the same. On July 1, 1953, the Canada Fair Employment Practices Act will come into effect, “to prevent and eliminate practices of discrimination against per- sons in regard to employment and in regard to membership in a trade union because of race, national origin, color or re- ligion’, as urged by the Ca- nadian Congress of Labor. The Act states that no em- ployer shall refuse to employ, or continue to employ, or otherwise discriminate against any person in regard to employment or any term or condition of employment, because of his race, national origin, color or religion. Further, an employer is not to use any employment agency which prac- tices discrimination against per- sons seeking employment. Employers are not to publish any advertisement relating to employment which expresses di- rectly or indirectly any limitation or preference based on race, na- tional origin, color or religion, except in cases where the prefer- ence or limitation is based on a bona fide occupational qualifica- tion. There are similar provisions against the use of application forms by an employer which ex- press such limitations. The Act also forbids discrimi- natory actions by labor unions. No labor union may exclude any- one from full membership, or expel, suspend or otherwise dis- criminate against any of its members, or discriminate against any one in regard to his employ- ment because of that person’s race, color, origin or creed. The new Act applies to em- ployers in essentially the same industries and undertakings as ZENITH.

LAW IN EFFECT does the Industrial Relations and Disputes Investigation Act. These are the undertakings which are within the legislative jurisdiction of the Parliament of Canada. It applies also to trade unions, to the extent that their operations fall within the authority of the legislation. The Act does not apply to employers of fewer than five employees, and it excludes non-profit educational, fraternal, charitable, religious and social organizations. SCIENCE GETS PAY-OFF OSLO, Norway—The Norwe- gian government has announc- ed the distribution of the nearly $2,000,000 that has been allotted to science from the 1952 profits “of the State-op- erated soccer pool. Earlier an allocation of $850,000 was made for the construction of soccer fields and other sports facilities. ‘INTERIOR’ No increase was granted the Interior woodworkers last year, although a Conciliation Board had recommended a wage in- crease of 3% cents an hour. The differential which will re- sult when the proposed settle- ment at the Coast becomes effec- tive at a base rate of $1.49 is re- garded by Coast woodworkers as a constant threat to their stand- ards. If Interior operators are permitted to produce with labor costs 19 cents an hour less than at the Coast, Coast production will be exposed to unfair and dangerous competition, it is Pointed out. BREAKAWAY TORONTO — The Retail & Wholesale Union, CCL-CIO, finally broke into the win col- umn in the Toronto area with a clear-cut victory over an in- dependent union at Silverwood Dairies.
