BUT HOW
DID THEY
SHARE?

There was $938 worth of com-
modities produced in 1951 for
every man, woman and child in
Canada. This was 20% more than
the 1950 net value of production
of $784 per capita, 85% above
the 1946 figure of $507, and
nearly four times the 1938 per
capita value of $247.

PHONE GIRLS
MAKE GAINS

NEW LISKEARD, Ont. —

The Communication Workers
of America (CIO-CCL) estab-
lished a precedent when they
won the check-off of union
dues for 420 members employ-
ed by The Northern Telephone
Co. The Company, whose op-
erations spread throughout
Northern Ontario and Quebec,
is controlled by the same men
who own the gold mines where
the United Steelworkers are
currently fighting for pay in-
creases and the check-off.

CWA also won an across-the-
board wage increase of 4 cents
an hour retroactive to July 1
and another cent from next Jan-

uary 1 to the contract’s June 30

termination. Other gains include
a jointly paid-for hospital, sur-
gical and in-hospital medical pay-
ment plan for all employees, who
have the right to enroll depend-
ents at the full rate. One job
was reclassified upward.

When the previous contract
with Northern Telephone expired
June 30, CWA took the matter
before a conciliation board which
recommended a wage increase
and other improvements, but not
the check-off.

The union insisted and settle-
ment was reached at the end of
a marathon session which started
one morning and continued until
4 a.m, the next day.

Office Workers

Need Unions

TORONTO (CPA)—A com-
parison of minimum weekly
earnings of office and produc-
tion workers in eight plants
where both groups are covered
by Steelworkers Union con-
tracts shows that, on the aver-
age, office workers’ earnings
are $21.46 less than those of
the plant workers who average
an hour and two-thirds more
on the job.

While weekly hours for the
office workers varied from 36%
hours, the production workers
were all on the 40-hour week.
Minimum weekly earnings in of-
fices varied from $23.77 to $37.04
and in the plants from $47.60 to
$57.40.

In the United States, weekly

minimum for plant workers in
the U.S. Steel Corporation—also
organized in the Steelworkers’
Union—is $60.80; for office work-
ers, $55.62, which works out to
a differential of $5.18. The low-
est differential in any of the
Canadian plants referred to above
is $14.07.

One of the Union’s objectivés
for office workers, said Eileen
Tallman, who is in charge of the
Office. Workers’ Department, is
to bring their minimum to the
same level as that in the plant.

In the first half of 1953 mail
flown by Canada’s airlines weigh-
ed 8,346,346 pounds, 626,562 or
8% more than in the first six
months of last year.

CAMP 6
AIDS
STRIKE

Admiration of the struggle
being waged by IWA members
and their families on strike in
the Interior has so impressed
Camp 6, Sub-Local Women’s
Auxiliary members of Local
1-80, IWA, that they voted,
during their meeting November
26, to donate the sum of ten
dollars in aid of the Christmas
Party Fund, for the Interior
children.

The regular business of the
meeting was suspended to allow
for a full discussion of the In-
terior strike. Warm praise for the
determined effort being put for-
ward by the strikers and their
families was expressed by the
Auxiliary members.

Mrs.: “That new couple next
door seems to be very devoted.
He kisses her every time they
meet. Now, why don’t you do
that?”

Mr.: “I-don’t know her well

enough.”

Resolution approved at the
recent meeting of the Execu-
tive Council of the Canadian
Congress of Labor urged the
Canadian Government to in-
crease assistance to the United
National Technical Assistance
Fund. A statement was issued
in the following terms: ;
“The Canadian Congress of

Labor views with grave concern
the difficulties now facing the
United Nations Technical Assist-
ance Program. The success of
this praiseworthy program, de-
signed to raise technical skills
and living standards throughout
the world, is now being hamper-
ed and undermined because of
insufficient funds.

“This state of affairs is most
regrettable. The financial needs
of this world-wide humanitarian
effort are exceedingly modest.
Last year only $25,000,000 were
required for this purpose. Con-

gered.

“We have constantly stressed
the inadequacy of Canada’s con-
tribution toward the United Na-
tions Technical Assistance Pro-
gram. We welcomed the recent
declaration of the Canadian Gov-
ernment to raise its donation
from $800,000 for 1953 to $1,-
500,000 for the coming year. But,
even with this increase, Cana-
dians are paying only eleven
cents per person towards the up-
keep of United Nations Techni-
cal Assistance.

“The disappointing attitude of
the United States Government
with regard to all budget alloca-
tions for this program makes it
imperative that Canada bear, if
