“WORLD PRICES UP”

In its brief, the IWA cited:
these points in favor of its wage
demands

1. World prices for Canadian
lumber have increased and show |
an upward trend.

2. Unit production costs in: ‘the
industry have been constantly
decreasing and will continue::fo
do so with the introduuction of
new equipment. :

3. Both lumber pr oduction ‘and|.
shipments increased in 1958 ‘de-
spite a contrary prediction by, the:
| companies.

“4. The demand for British -Co-'
lumbia lumber, particularly from.

crease sharply in the near future:
because “we are probably on the:
threshold of an economic boom.”

MORRIS PRESENTS BRIEF
Joe Morris, TWA district presi-
dent, presented the brief to. the
conciliation board, which com-
prises chairman George Curtis,
dean of the law faculty at the
University of B.C.; J. Bury, IWA
representative; and T.. Watt,
nominated by the companies.
“The condition of the (um-
ber) market is excellent,’ the
brief says. “There is virtually
no unemployment-in the iIndus-
try. Profits are sky-rocketing.”
The 20-per-cent increase the
union is asking would bring the
basic wage rate in the industry
to $2.06 an hour from $1.72. The
IWA is also secking a flat 20-cent
increase for tradesmen above the
20-per-cent general rise, or a
total increase for tradesmen of
63 cents above present wages of
$2.18 an huur,
