6 . THE WESTERN CANADIAN LUMBER WORKER

they tell us they have the
right to decide
how much we earn

next they'll be telling us
how to spend it

It’s one thing for a government to be concerned about inflation. But when
they demand the right to decide to limit how much we can earn without
doing anything about controlling prices, that’s going too far, Because wage
controls affect only wage earners. People whose only hope to keep up with
the steeply rising cost of living is a salary increase. And a government that
demands control over wages should also require control over prices, profits,
rents and interest . . . all the things that wages have to be spent on.

Sometimes it seems as if “everyone” is on strike. That labour problems will
never be solved. That everyone is unhappy. And that’s bad. There are solu-
tions to B.C. labour problems, and it is up to the government to find them.
Dave Barrett and the NDP are willing and able to help find proper solutions

to these problems. And fight to see them through. It’s time to get serious :
about what’s important to this province.

tell them enough is enough

B.C. needs
a new deal for people
