Railway Wage Issue CANADIAN RAILWAY UNIONS, representing v. 140,000 workers, have served notice demanding a 35c an hour wage increase but it is to be con fidently hoped that once again negotiations will result in a settlement before there are any untoward developments. Canadian railway companies and unions in the past have got as far as disputes on the wage question but collective bar gaining at its best has always to date characterized negotiations and settlements have been reached within the framework of existing .labor laws and without recourse to extreme tactics which would, of course, bring nigh economic chaos to the country. Heretofore both parties to railway wage differences have realistically approached the issues involved, operators and employees of the nation's , vital communication -services consistently showing mature appreciation of their responsibilities. Their most serious disputes have been settled with a minimum of harsh words, threats or any of the other devices resorted to by less responsible labor unions. Railway unions, indeed, have plotted the course and set the example in the development of collective bargaining in Canada. On more than one occasion negotiations, have reached the point where strike has been mentioned as the next logical step but it has not been necessary in the end to resort to this extreme. Always there has been a willingness to give and take at the bargaining table which has permitted negotiated settlements. Doubtless, railway labor relations will again in thisnnstance maintain the good example 'which' they have set heretofore. WINTER IN BRITAIN IT MAY BE, and it will be no disgrace to Britain if I this proves so, that the British people will be unable to make the great productive effort demanded of them in the conditions of dreary austerity they wilPknow next winter. In that event, the North American nations will be obliged in their own interest to offer further help- Many must think that it is their duty to do so now: that the moral ano maly of great abundance and conspicuous, waste on this continent, alongside desperate poyerjy , in Western Europe, cannot 'last long. No better or more sympathetic portrayal of the case and condition could be given than this, by the internationally-minded Christian Science Monitor: "How can the bare facts, the bare figures, of British austerity be brought home as living need to American hearts and minds? How can the. family that has just driven joyfully through the glowing autumn countryside, heaped with the fruits of harvest, and has come back at chilly dusk to a warm house and an abundant meal how can such a family realize what autumn means to Britons this year ? No spin into the country for the British family; no gasoline nation. No snug relaxation before the fire afterwards; no fuel available. No jam with the bread and butter; no butter often. Just the hint oT another winter in the air, with one's clothes a little shabbier, one's work a little harder, and .years ui ausieruy growing a little grimmer." UNITED STATES CONTROLS A RETURN of rationing and price and wage controls if imposed in the United States should not necessarily lead to the resumption of recently drop- ped controls in Canada although such might bo the case. A levelling off in the United States to stop the" tide of inflation, which as President Truman says has reached dangerous proportions there, should have its indirect effect here without any compulsory measures being taken in this country. Of course, the controls are not yet back in the United States and it is even possible that the President s proposals may not be fully effected by Con press even though there may be general agreement that something must be done to check the inflation there which has been to a lesser degree reflected in Canada of late. PAYING FOR BOOMS VANCOUVER is again lamenting the fact that she has far more lots than are needed and, as a consequence, slum areas are increasing, unsightly gaps, and upkeep costs which are both annoying tand expensive for the small taxpayers. In fact, there are not less than 34,000 parcels of land that the municipality could do very well without. Like many another city, Vancouver is paying for past real, estate booms, when the years just ahead were to create miracles in the way of an influx of prosperous people and swift growth of property values. There has been development, of course but it may be spme time yet before British Columbia will find within hr borders a town with a population of a million or more. NORTHERN AND CENTRAL BRITISH COLUMBIA'S NEWSPAPER LIFE 'n r'nce uR6rt " " by BIDDER JINKS When someone Is fervently poisonous political transfusions loyal to his country that honor- from a neighboring realm.

So ' for a fjrm wnich supplied the at this moment, a sPark from j Germans. She calls "him one of the pen of Catharine Gavin has ( the "small, silent heroes." There ignited again the candle of patriotism instilled in m7 centre regions by parents and This i? a bit unusual, particularly so when her artlele deals mainly with her reasons for leaving this land of my loves-putting it not exactly in a poor light but certainly showing some dim spots as in comparison with a scarred and heroic Old World. She is going back to a battered Paris to sleep in a cold bed and eat skimpy meals after trying us jout for nine months. And while !l think that, after a brief nine 'months In any country I would still feel like returning "to where I come from" I still quiver with admiration for this woman. She Is going back to do what she can for France, the land she calls home. What can one adamant, loyal woman feven of Scotch birth!) do for a country In continual political upheaval? One thing only will she really miss on the other side food. She made the statement that never' before had she learned so significantly that men do not "live by bread alone." Although it meant all of Canada, I felt a stinplng slap. I felt shame for us who allow People, fellow Canadians, to "ping-pong" with deadly missiles at the foundation of our country's structure. I say foundation. Much has been allowed to accumulate since, like ' proud-flesh in a wound, that m not healthy, tout an attitude of perpetual criticism of everything and for everything has never yet gained anything for anybody. It is beyond my ken how anyone can take up cudgels against their own land. (Or how hotel staffs could strike during the time of the royal wedding.) Probably I was taught to feel like that but I lke rather to be ; born that wav. Long ago my f-ore'parerits MfTnaT way and became United Empire Loyalists and they had no teacher. Today, we need loyalists people who are just plain loyal like the old-timers of this city. When someone (presumably a new comer) mentions the rain within earshot they get a matter-of-fact "Well, yes, it has been wet i lately. But if It's raining here then it's worse other places , blizzards may, and cold!" Think- j ing of clearer skies, time has been when I smiled; rionethe-: less, filled brimful with admiration for these people who came here in their youth, to a youthful city, who worked and built and .gave their strength until today they are justly proud of what they have accomplished. I Which may be a clue to our country's ills. If people really give the best of themselves In whatever circles they live then thy might find rason to be proud rather than critical. Few per-son.3 find much wrong with the j work of their own hands. If they do, then it is to improvl it. which is right and good. A letter to Prince Rupert from Holland recently commented on the strike problem in other countries. Bald the writer: "We are so busy here 1n Holland, re-building, that we haven't time to think, about trikes."
