“The Canadian Congress Jour-
nal’? (official organ of the Trades
and Labor Congress of Canada)

in its issue of February, 1924, has
this to say about Labor and Social
Legislation passed by the Libera}
Government:—

The British Columbia Legis-
lature is now leading Canada in
the matter or legislation bene-
ficial to the workers. It has the
honor of being the first province
to give legislative effect to the
eight hour dav convention: of the
International Labor organization,
passed at the Washington Con-
ference.in 1919. Although Labor
in British Columbia endeavored
to have this Act strengthened
and brought into effect at an
earlier date, we believe in its
present form, fairly administered,

it sets a goal for Labor in all the
other provinces to reach.

Two other Acts, reference’ to
which was made in the * Cana-
dian Congress Journal”’ for Janu-
ary, namely the Two-Platoon
System, and One Dav’s Rest in
Seven for Fire’ Fighters, have
also been enacted. and bring
‘British: Columbia. legislation in,
this respect into ‘line with On:
tario. That the Fire Fighters
appreciate the efforts of the or-
ganized workers to secure these.
beneficial measures is evidenced
by the fact that four new “locals
have been added to the Inter-
national Associatiun of Fire Fight-
ers in cities of British Columbia
during the past few months.
‘Factory legislation | has ‘also
been strengthened by an amend-
ment to the Factories Act, rais-
ing the age at which any child,
male or female, may be employed
in any factory in British -Colum-
‘bia,’ from fourteen to fifteen
years, «

The fifth measure is an n Act,
known as the Women’s and Girls’
Protection Act. Whilst the main
purposes of this Act are to pre-
vent the employment: of white
girls in restauranits,. laundries,

VARIOUS FORMS OF INSURANCE:

The forest industries of British Co- |
lumbia rank easily first as providers of
revenue to the géneral business com-
munity of the Province,
If any typical line of commercial ac-
tivity is taken, striking. illustrations
can be immediately furnished to prove
this fact. . .

For. instance, how would the in-
surance companies in. British Colum-
bia fare without the business’ they
derive from the, lumbering industries?
The products of the forests are often
insured aa many as five times between
the stump and the retailer: ;
1. IN THE Woops—Insurance of log-
"ging campa and cut timber.: ;
