12 THE WESTERN CANADIAN LUMBER WORKER FOURTEEN ORGANIZATIONS: COMMITTEE SET UP TO APPEAL POSTAL RATES A conference of non-profit organizations is to be held in Ottawa Nov. 12-13 in a bid ’ to persuade Parliament to re- duce postal rate increases that are hitting their periodicals. MATHER HITS PAY BOOST Members of Parliament should not have the right to increase their own indemni- ties, Barry Mather, MP. (NDP) Surrey, said in a statement commenting on ru- mors that Federal Liberals were urging such a step. “M.P.’s work and wage con- ditions should be subject to similar controls as those gov- erning other public employ- ees, The unilaterally-taken 1963 increase could be defended on the grounds that it was sev- eral years overdue. However, in my view, any further in- ’ erease in pay or expense money should be decided eith- er by the public at the next federal election or through the findings of an impartial com- mission.” Barry Mather added that the economic needs of service- men, superannuated civil ser- vants and senior citizens gen- erally require immediate gov- ernment action. He cited the 5% increase in cost-of-living index compared to the limit of 2% increase per year in old age security living cost allow- ance. Conference plans were an- nounced by the Committee for Fair Postal Rates, formed by 14 sponsoring national organ- izations. “We intend to appeal to hundreds of non-profit organ- izations to send delegates to Ottawa and make their voices heard,” said William Dodge, of Ottawa, chairman of the committee and secretary-trea- surer of the Canadian Labour Congress, one of the sponsor- ing bodies. “The postal rate increases are effectively. stifling free communication in a democra- tic society by pricing the periodicals of non-profit or- ganizations out of the market. “To right this situation, our objective is either an amend- ment to the Post Office Act granting second-class mailing privileges to the periodicals of non-profit organizations, or changes in the postal regula- tions so that the Postmaster- General will use his discre- tionary power under Section 12 of the Act to grant second- class mailing privileges to the periodicals of non-profit or- ganizations.” COURSES FOR 1-357 MEMBERS Local 1-357 IWA members interested in taking Public Speaking classes in their own community without cost. to themselves can now do so un- der a novel plan proposed by the Local Executive Board and approved by the members.
