Mack Munro appeared before the board to tell of: working conditions for druggists here. Ills suggestion was that conditions could best be remedied by reducing the hours of work and closing shops earlier. 1 The board was also here to in vestigate working conditions for "'nrehouinn lanltors and eleva-; tor men. There were none of these lines of work personally represen-i ted but Aid. S. D. Macdonald. president of the Trades tt, Labor Council, made a brief report of vorkihg conditions forrrwareJiouse- " rx t mert here. -' , J. D. McNiven, deptft? minister" of labor, presided over the hear- ng, a second member of the board being present in the person of. Vdam Bell of Revelstoks. Specta- "ors present included mainly mem-' '"ens of the the Trades & Labor "ouncll. : Mr. McNiven, in opening, briefly explained the object of the board's iresent investigations. As for the pharmacists, the request to lnves-fgate their working conditions, including rates of wages and hours Summer brings Its wealth of health-radiating sunshine, but it also brines a danger that casts a cloud over the heart of many a mother of a tiny bottle-fed baby. For summer is the daneer time for milk. Even in the cities where the milk supply is closely watched by the health authorities, many babies suffer from intestinal infections that come from bacteria in the milk. ThaAxni less to insure the perfect poratTrofJhe r baby's food. 'v57 5enc findt a gmrm-tr milk But now this problem, so important to countless mothers, has been solved by the discovery that there i3 a termini milk which is, at the same time, equal from every nutritional standpoint to the best bottled milk. This is unsweetened evaporated milk, which, as you probably know, is pure whole milk with part of the natural water removed, with nothing added, and with its purity absolutely insured by sterilization in air-tiihi cans. Theft can be no disease-carrying bacteria in this milk. An unopened can of it will keep its purity indefinitely in the hottest weather, without ice. The food value of this milk has been approved by some of America's greatest authorities on baby feeding. Un sweetened evaporated milk contains all the elements that make milk a perfect food. It contains all the tu-amins that any milk is depended on to supply, and the only supplements required are those now prescribed with of labor, had been made by the pharmacists themselves. Ad. Macdonald said that the visit of the board here was appreciated. There was a representative present from the druggists and he (Aid. Macdonald) had cer tain Jnojmatlon to present Jn connection rmhevarehousemen. " First Witness Mack Munro. the first witness, ' said that he received $150 per month and worked, on the average 65 hours a weelcs'' Alternate evenings and every, third Sunday ho had to work wlUjjhaU-a-day off a week, when possible, and two weeks' holidays a year with pay. In the" store in which he was employed (Orme's) there were three graduate pharmacists the pronrl- etor and two employees. Each hadi equal shifts. The whole trouble was, Mr.i Munro thought, that druggists hail; o work too long for the money! they received. He thought drug .tores should be able to close at 6 or 7 o'clock in the evening, having one of the pharmacist staff on call if necessary, to fill prescrio-1 tion work In an evening as in the whole day. This was because peb-: pie. knowing the drug stores were! open, went to see the doctor in j the evening after work. If thej knew the drug stores were not' ooen in the evenings, they Would! find time In the day to consult the j doctor and secure their prescrip-l tions. With the present long work-1 ing hours, a graduate pharmacist; only averaged 57c. per hour in pay. Mr. McNiven stated that a discussion had arisen In Vancouver! as to what the effect would be if the minimum wage for pharmacists was placed say at $1 an hour.

Because of the heat treatment that it receives it forms very fine, soft curds, almost exactly like those of mother's milk. And its but- terfat globules are broken up into such home refrigeration, the most &r?jFul?raJcrtscopicaIly tiny ones, by a process hnrrwi racfrntriratififi are often ert FralleH " nnmfwmiration ". that the baby 'js stomach assixnilates them easily. Mothers who use unsweetened evan Orated milk are delighted, not only because their babies do so well on it. but because the feedings are so easy to prepare. This milk is already sterilized. It is simply mixed cold and poured into bottles with no tedious pasteurizing, no straining, no tricky filling of hot bottles with not milk, no slow cooling off afterward. In buying evaporated milk for baby feeding it is important to choose a brand that is known to stand for highest quality such as Carnation Muk. the well-known milk "from contented cows". The unusual care which protects this milk all the way from dairy farm to grocery is the mother's guar, anty thather baby's milk is surrounded by every scientific safeguard. The Carnation Babv-Feedinz Chart will tell you more about this good milk, and your own physician will prescribe the correct formula for your baby. To obtain chart and Carnation Cook Book, address Carnation Co., Limited, 131 Abbott Street Vancouver, B.C. remember Baby's milk is always safe if it is Carnation Milk. It is free from all bacteria, high in food value, and more digestible than milk in any other form. The Safeguarded Mill; Produced la Cim! "from Contented Cows" It had been felt that the staff of licentiate pharmacists would be cut, that they would be engaged only in prescription work and that cheaper people would be engaged to wait on store. There was no doubt that the druggist was now receiving far , less wages than his profession, and the time he liactJtS put In to learn It, warrantedrTriat working hours were too long wa the general complaint. Arc Underpaid Aid. Macdonald, pointing out that common labor In this city received 57 '4c. per hour, thought that druggists were underpaid, considering the hours they worked. Mr. Munro thought that, if a minimum wage were set, something should be done to assure that the graduate pharmacist employee would receive at least six or seven hours' work a day. Otherwise, the employer might only engage him for an hour or so a day during the rush hours and he would be even worse off. I Mr. Bell -pointed out that the Board had no jurisdiction to make any such stipulation. j Aid. Macdonald saw organization of druggists as a means of rectifying the situation. By organization, the trouble of long hours might be remedied and a minimum wage agreed upon. . Aid Brown also thought that the solution lay with the men themselves through organization. In the course of discussion, it rame out that there were at present 428 licentiates of pharmacy in the province. Two employee pharmacists to three employer pharmacists, as In Prince Rupert, was a high average of employees compared with the rest of th pro vince. Aid. Black thought that th ten dency, by setting minimum wages, was to keep the wages down. Aid. Macdonald believed in the minimum wage principle and he believed it was functioning well, particularly where the craftamen were well organised. Through not beiqg,,' Jor'ganlzed, the druggists mlht, itfej- through the impost-tiqji, pf minimum wage. Mr. McNiven by no means agreed that the provision of a minimum wage had a tendency to keep wages , down. He quoted a number of figures to show that it was, rather, the tendency of employer tp reward good service and pay above the minimum wage. Jvjfcj, Miqtlonald said that things ;'erp. different here. They had to .constantly on the alert to as sure bat minimum wages were being complied with. On the whole however. Aid.

Pattulio, the city council decided to hold a contest in connection with the choosing of a crest for the city. A prize of $10 is to be offered. Tightening up by the Dominion government of Immigration regulations may, It is feared, seriously afefct the supply of labor for Grand Trunk Pacific Railway construction here. with Mr. McNiven. the setting of minimum wages had had a wonderful effect. 'Warehousemen Aid. Macdonald said that, since none were present, it might be assumed that warehousemen were satisfied with conditions under which they worked here. He gave the scale of wages followed by one Ttvhiise iMalkln's) here. They started boys of 17 or so at $80 per month. The wage then Jumped to $125 and, with increasing experience to $135 and $155. This was a good deal better than the average, Mr. McNiven said. There was a brief discussion as to Janitors in the cours" of which it was stated that In Vancouver Janitors received from $30 to $150 per month. It was a poorly palH line of work. Mr. McNiven said, but janitors were unwilling to come bcfnrp the board with their case and, although the board might be willing to help them, there was little under the circumstances that could be done for them.
