The fact that members of the city council and the school board are willing to spend three and four hours one night weekly in regular meetings, to say nothing of committee work which takes a lot of time during the week, is an earnest of their serious and conscientious attitude toward their work. Possibly it is necessary to spend this great amount of time for a while until they get organized and familiar with the situation. However, after a little, these long-drawn out w'earisome sessions shbuld not be necessary or even efficient. After all, the purpose of bodies such as the city council and school. board is to. formulate general policy and deal with matters that concern general policy not to administer details that are supposed to be taken care of by committees or the operating staff. As all efficient executives know, to get into the rut of detail is often to lose sight of the more important, larger issues. There are many inconsequential matters that public bodies do not need to waste their time talkng about Labor Legislation and Mines ... . "The Miner," organ of the western mineral industries, published at Vancouver, in its February issue, discusses proposed labor legislation and the mining industry and sounds a note of warning against contemplated amendments to the labor laws which it fears would play into the hands of "professional union organizers and labor racketeers." Exclusive collective bargaining rights are what "The Miner" especially fears. Ihe editorial, a lengthy one, concludes as follows: "Nowiere has the partnership that exists between capital and labor been better exemplified than in the mining industry of British Columbia. The concept of common interest involving co-operative effort has been developed to a degree scarcely yet attained in any other industry on the continent. The result has been enormously to the mutual advantage. The employees have shared in the fortunes of the companies, whether the trend was upward or downward (on one occasion indeed they actually voted in 'a time of depression for a wage cut). It has necessarily, however, resulted in some inequalities in wage scales. Thus, at the copper mines, the rise and fall in wages over or below a basic rate, have been determined by metal market trends; and because of economic conditions in one coal area as compared with those of another, there has been divergence in wage scales. Again, some gold mines are in a-position to offer higher wages in the form of bonuses than are others, with lesser margins of profits. ButjJSuch arrangements are not in accord with union policies, which have no regard for the economics of industry. These policies favor the closing of undertakings wheve conditions preclude the adoption of wage scales, exactable only from the most favorably situated operations. It is safe to affirm that under union-labor domination, some of the major mines of the Province could not have remained in operation in the past. Nor, were the union objective of securing such domination to be now , attained, would these mines be able to continue operations in the future. "For thirty or more years the metal-mining industry of British Columbia has been non-unionized. It is inconceivable that this could have been the case if there had been labor unrest in the industry or any general demand by labor for unionization. Indeed there has been no need, for, speaking broadly, mine wages are the highest in Canada, and working conditions comparable with anywhere. During this period except in one or two isolated instances, there have been no demand for unionization and no strikes of any consequence. In short, few industries, either here or elsewhere, can show such a satisfactory record of labor relationships. To disturb it would be calamitous."
