Unionists liked
Seattle show

About $100,000 worth of union
made goods were given away
free at the Seattle Union Indus-
tries Show, according to B.C.
unionists who paid a friendly
visit to the big show.

| Union butchers demonstrated
how to cut meat, then gave away
juicy steaks. Tobacco workers
were making cigars and giving
them away. Glass blowers gave
away magnifying glasses. Fire-
men gave youngsters red plastic
fire helmets. And retail clerks
| gave away shopping bags in which
'to carry the loot.

Vancouver delegates agreed it
|was the greatest promotion of
|the union label they had ever
‘seen,

Total cost of the exhibit, held
'in Seattle Civic Auditorium, was
| estimated~ at a million dollars.

ployees in the industry will be
working the 35-hour week.

Mel Kemmis, business agent of
local 468, said that “the 35-hour
week has been set for bakers in
some centres but we believe this
is the first time it has been neg-
otiated for all workers in the in-
dustry.”

Workers now on a .38-hour
week will switch to 37 hours
on June 1 this year, to 36 hours:
on June 1, 1957, and to 35 |

hours on October 1, 1957.

Wages will be increased $2.50
a week on June 1 this year and
another $2.50 on June 1, 1957.
Increase will bring the basic
weekly wage to $79.61 for men
and $62.79 for women.

The contract covers employees
of McGavins, Vancouver and
Nanaimo; and other major bak-..
ing firms including Canadian
Bakeries, Mother Hubbard, West-
ons, General Bakeries, Mrs. Will-
mans, Bryces Bakery, and Fair-
fax Bread (Safeway).

Bailey drew attention to the

need for unity to protect gains}

won over the past 12 years since

the Douglas government was first | !
; elected.

At the same time he empha-
sized the continuing differences
of opinion between the CCF and
LPP on natural resources devel-
opment policy, pointing out that
the LPP would continue to cam-
paign for election of its candidates
still in the field.

Nevertheless, he said, “we be-
lieve, in the light of the grave
threat posed by Liberal and So-
cial Credit parties, that the best
interests of the people of Sas-
katchewan can be served by re-
election, of the present govern-
ment.”
