The trade unions should be given a hearing before the Legis- lature in this manner. @ The sections of the Labour Relations Act which restrict trade union political activity should be deleted, as unconstitutional. @ The law should prohibit the use of injunctions against peaceful picketing during an SIONAL CONFERENCE The Speech from the Throne in the Legislature, January 24, announced that the government would sponsor a_ labour-manage- ment conference ‘to deal with the present disturbed industrial relations.

Provision should be made in this regard for the rights of those employed by contractors and sub-contrac- tors. The majority of those voting, instead of all those in the bargaining unit should be the determining factor in rep- resentation votes, as in other provinces. Provision should be made for blanket certifica- tions. @ The Act should more clearly prevent employers from terminating employment for employees on a legal strike. @ Provision should be ‘made for the appointment of a panel of competent medi- ators, more readily available for critical disputes. Provision should be made .whereby mediators would gain advant- age of conciliation under- taken by conciliation officers who recommend no concilia- tion boards. @ The section of the Act which enables the Minister to by-pass a union’s negotiating committee during a strike, should be deleted. President Moore announced his intention to gain consid- eration of these matters by the B. C. Federation of Labour and the joint liaison committee. Meanwhile, Premier Ben- nett seems in the mood to brush all such matters “under the rug.” The part-time Min- ister of Labour displays an amazing readiness to agree with the Premier on all points.

Vincent Kelly, 26, a law E student at the University = of Toronto and former president of the U of T’s Students’ Administrative Council broke with the Lib- erals over Pearson’s state- ments on nuclear arms. He said they “totally contradict previous Liberal policy.” The former Liberal can- didate in Lanark added that the new Liberal policy can- not be “justified in either political or military terms”. The demand for nuclear warheads for Canada “is an affront to logic.’ INNA A The. new Harmac sawmill will require the experienced IWA sawmill workers.

IWA certifications. workers affected should continue to have the edvantags’ of benefits negotiated for them by their own Union rn f interruption. The proposed dislocation of their union by order of the company can only lead to grave dissatisfaction. We are well aware of the company’s purpose. It intends to shelve its responsibilities toward pa. Ba dew employees and thereby reap greater profits. It intends to drive a wedge between the two largest unions certified in its ind complex before the proposed unity plans mature. This corporation would welcome certification of both unions in sawmill operations as well as in pulp mill operations. If either union becomes involved in a strike, it would then be in a position to maintain production of both lumber and pulp in a way that would smash strike action by either union, acting separately. We contend, that, for the above reasons, union jurisdic- tion in the new Harmac mill should remain with the TWA.” Now at your Dealer!
