Local Scores Labour Day Message In a recent press release, Local 1-85 IWA has registered a strong objection to Labour Minister Peterson’s Labour Day message suggesting that workers are happy under present labour-man- agement relations. Mr. Peterson said in part: “The progress of labour continues to be outstanding, expansive, and, at the same time, sound. We have - reason to be gratified that in beautiful British Columbia, there is a genuine partnership between labour, management and govern- ment. This policy we re-affirm with conviction and assurance.” The Local Union’s statement said in part: “We have to disagree with the part of Mr. Peterson’s Labour Day message in which he states “We have reason to be gratified that in beautiful British Colum- bia there is a genuine partner- ship between Labour, Manage- ment and Government.” “We are sure that our members in the lumber industry in the Alberni Valley are quite aware that this is a two-way partnership between Government and Indus- TAAY ce oA “Mr. Peterson should realize that there can be no genuine partnership between Labour, Management, and Government so long as his government continues to enact the anti-labour legisla- tion requested by the employers’ groups such as the Canadian Manufacturers’ Association and the Canadian Chamber of Com- merce.” Obstacles Hamper Regier At the nominating convention which acclaimed Tommy Doug- las as the New Democratie Party candidate in Burnaby-Coquitlam, M.P.-elect Erhart Regier ex- plained the technical obstacles placed in the way of his resigna- tion as a member of the House of Commons. “Apparently, Erhart is having as much trouble getting out of Parliament as I am having get- ting into it,” wryly commented Douglas.

We worry constantly about all manner of things. In some industries, for example, workers worry about the effect of automation: will machines replace men. . At home, housewives and mothers worry about the quality of ‘the products they buy. Will the shoes she buys for little Johnny stand up like they used to. This is a question with real meaning. All this leads back to the philosophy of the Paris family: “Qnly Man can Profit by Experience, and Experience is Best Handed Down within the Family” At Pierre Paris & Sons we are happy that our third generataion is just picking up this precious thread of ex- perience. Three generations have learned to refine, to improve, to seek for an ever higher standard of quality. These are men proud of their craft, as ancient as history itself. Machines have come along since the day Pierre founded the business in 1907. Where they have proved capable of serving the family quest for higher quality, they have been accepted, But they have never displaced men. FOR NEVER IN MACHINES, ONLY IN MAN HIMSELF, RESIDES THE KIND OF PRIDE IN FAMILY AND TRADITION WHICH HAS MADE THE PARIS BRAND FAMOUS FOR NEARLY SIXTY YEARS.
