NEW
CONTROLS
have
now
become
essential
in
Canada's
wartime
design
for
living.
These
are:
(1)
Control
of
Prices
1
Commencing
November
17,
1941,
there
may
be
no
increase
in
the
prices
of
goods
and
services
generally
unless
absolutely
necessary
and
authorized
by
the
Wartime
Prices
and
Trade
Board.
(2)
Control
of
Wages
1
No
employer,
with
certain
limited
exceptions,
may
increase
the
basic
wage
rates
paid
to
his
employees
unless
authorized
by
a
Board
on
which
the
Government,
employers
and
employees
are
represented.
But
after
February
15,
1942,
every
employer,
with
the
same
exceptions,
will
be
obliged
to
pay
a
cost
of
living
bonus
and
.to
adjust
this
bonus
every
three
months.
)
Action
Necessary
to
Stop
Inflation
This
Government
anion
has
been
taken
to
prevent
the
inflation
we
knew
in
the
last
war,
and
its
subsequent
depression,
unemployment
and
suffering.
Every
housewife
knows
that
prices
are
rising,
and
rising
prices,
unless
controlled,
will
make
it
more
costly
and
difficult
to
finance
the
war.
Rising
prices,
unchecked,
will
spread
confusion
in
industry
and
trade;
will
hinder
production
and
proper
distribution
of
supplies;
will
make
the
cost
of
living
rise
more
rapidly
than
wages
and
salaries;
will
lessen
the
value
of
savings;
will
result
in
hardship
for
almost
everyone,
and
especially
those
with
small
incomes.
And
the
result
of
uncontrolled
inflation,
after
the
war,
when
prices
drop,
will
again
be
depression
and
unemployment.
Prices
cannot
be
controlled
without
control
of
wages.
Excess
profits
are,
and
will
continue
to
be,
under
rigid
control.
Coverage

Wages

The
Order
is
applicable
to
the
following
employers:
1

2
Every

in
