The conference called on the union to tackle discrimination against women and said that rates of pay should be deter- mined by job content rather than by the sex of the work- sy doing the job. There should be just one seniority list in a plant and holding a job and upgrading should be based on length of service dependent on; 4 woman worker with seniority estab- lishing her ability to do avail- able work. The conference also called on the union’s 5,000 women members to take a more active part with men members in seeking amendments -that would strengthen the Equal Remuneration Act, Shop and Factory Act and sections of the Unemployment Insurance Act which discriminate married women against . ment curbs placed 2 Cibe cussed a res boycott are “Tabor should reply by de- - manding control of industry— control over profits, corpora- tion taxes and prices,” said . John Hayward (Street Rail- waymen.) “We expect such statements to come from the other side,” “said George Home. ‘“Let’s not be so naive as to believe what some people say, that we are living in a classless society. That is nonsense. There are still two classes, and our best answer is to make the labor movement bigger and stronger, to fight for gains more effec- tively. ‘ “Labor spokesmen who speak at Board of Trade meetings and suchlike must be careful what they say. We have a pol- icy laid down by labor—and no labor speaker has the right to go outside that policy.” ‘VLC vice-president Tom Als- pury, stung by Home’s last remark, jumped to.the micro- phone. “T agree that labor spokes- men should only state labor policy,” he said. “I suppose the reference is to statements I was reported to have made at the Vancouver Rotary Club. “J tell you I have a writ- ten copy of that speech. I was misquoted in the press. I have never once made statements outside the regular policy of the labor movement. But I intend to go on accepting invi- tations from any group to speak on labor’s problems. All I ever said was that the gov- ernment should set up a re- search council to make statis- tics available. I was misquoted in the press.” : Council passed a resolution presented by Ben Morley (Building Service Employees) that labor study and then an- swer the statements.made by the Chamber of Commerce.

Labor scores award of contract to Italy Vancouver record protesting the awardin towers to an Italian firm by city council and the senior done in this country. Bill Stewart (Marine Work- ers) said workers in Italy were getting 30 cents “an hour compared to $2 an hour union members received at Western Bridge, the B.C. firm which had bid for the job. “Even if Canadian workers took a cut of $1 an hour they couldn’t compete with this low-wage Italian labor,” he said. _ VLC vice-president Tom Als- bury, after stating that “Tm not rising to defend the BG. Hl ectric,” voiced objecions to “dealing wih such incidents piecemeal” and complained that council wasn’t taking “an overall economic view.” He said Canada is dependent on external trade to a greater ex- tent than any other country, and that one of the conditions leading o a depression is that “everybody wants to sell and nobody wants to buy.” Stewart jumped to his feet to refute this line of reasoning. “36 far as the B.C. Electric is concerned, trade to them means where they can buy cheapest, regardless of the ef- fect it might have on the econ- omy of our country,” he charg- ed. Vancouver citizens pay the BCE exorbitantly high rates and Disirict Labor Council this weeke went on g of a contract for transmission the B.C. Electric, and will press governments to have the work for gas, but workers can’t say, “Let’s buy our gas from Italy.” Ironical part of the situation is that Western Bridge is the biggest user of industrial gas in the city, said Stewart. Fail- ure to get the present contract will force the firm to lay off men. The same thing happened a couple of years ago, and the BCE gas department called on the company to inquire why they were cutting down -on their consumption of gas. ---- ‘Legitimate foreign trade means one country saying to . another, what you have and we haven’t got we'll buy, and what we have and you haven't got we'll sell,” said Stewart. “Our union intends to publish and distribute thousands of leaflets presenting the facts in. this deal, for what-he BCE is actually doing is exporting jobs to Italy.” PENDER AUDITORIUM (Marine Workers) 339 West Pender LARGE & SMALL HALLS FOR RENTALS Phone PA. 9481 enew that SUB now!
