other workers in 10 city clubs.

beer parlor and_ cocktail

are asking for a 20 percent in-
crease.

Present wages in clubs
range from $32.50 a week for
waitresses to $68.50 for bar-
tenders.

against the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen and set up
the Canadian Trainmen’s Un-
ion. The group’s aim is to re-
place the international in
Western Canada and to gain a
membership of 3,000.

According to spokesmen for
the group, it has 100 members
in Vancouver and 25 in Kam-
loops.

The group advances as its
main grievance against the
Brotherhood the seven-day
day work week with unlimited
overtime. It is also dissatis-
fied over contracts set for all

Brotherhood officials admit
dissatisfaction among CPR and

The International Brother-
hood of Railway Trainmen is
one of the four independent
railway unions not affiliated
with the Canadian Labor Con-
gress. The new union hopes to
become affiliated with the CLC
before the international union
does. If the international be-
came affiliated first, it could

Alberta Social Credit |

turns down sales tax

EDMONTON

Despite the impassioned
pleas of Provincial Treasurer
Hinman, Aiberta Social Credit
League at its convention here,
turned down a proposed sales
tax for Alberta. To Hinman’s
plea noi to vote it down “until
they had more information on
the subject” the 200 or more
delegates gave a flat ‘no sales
tax” answer by overwhelming
vote.

Meantime, the Manning gov-
ernment is said to be prepar-
ing an attractive brochure by
which they hope to sell their
sales tax idea to Albertans.
Delegates warned the Socred
convention that such a tax
would “hit the small man” and
do great harm to Social Credit
in Alberta.
