on
the
waterfront
at
the
height
of
the
fishing
season.
A
further
conference
between
the
union
and
operators
was
begun
this
morning.
The
fact
that
the
two
parties
have
got
together
so
readily
was
seen
by
one
fisherman
as
an
indication
that
both
are
trying
to
avert
the
danger
of
a
work
stoppage
and
may
be
willing
to
compromise
on
their
initial
positions,
neither
cf
wnlch
are
ac
ceptable
to
the
opposing
party.
Union
business
agent
William
Rlgby
of
Vancouver
would
make
no
comment
on
the,
meetings
other
than
that
"negotiations
are
under
way."
Company
representatives
were
equally
restrained.
An
affirmative
strike
vote
was
taken
by
more
than
250
union
members
at
a
"stop-work"
meeting
held
in
the
Civic
Centre
auditorium
on
Saturday.
The
union
set
as
Its
original
demands:
union
security;
overtime
pay
for
hours
worked
after
5
p.m.
dally
and
on
Saturday
afternoons,
whether
or
not
an
employee
has
worked
eight
hours
on
the
day
In
question
or
44
hours
in
the
week
in
question;
wa?e
increases
covering
practically
all
category
of
fresh
fish
and
cold
storage
workers.
The
operators
have
countered
with
an
offer
of
overtime
for
time
worked
after
44
hours
weekly
and
eight
hours
daily,
and
a
wage
schedule
similar
to
that
paid
In
Vancouver.
Agree
on
Overtime
Issue
According
to
unofficial
reports
today,
the
companies
have
agreed
to
recognize
the
union's
overtime
demands,
allowing
overtime
pay
for
Saturday
afternoons
whether
or
not
41
hours
have
been
worked,
and
also
for
overtime
after
6
p.m.
whether
or
not
the
worker
has
put
in
eight
hours
during
that
day.
However.
It
is
reported,
a
company
offer
for
a
two-cent
an
hour
wage
Increase
made
this
morning
was
received
coolly
and
It
was
predicted
that
the
offer
would
be
refused
by
the
union
The
union
representatives
apparently
are
holding
out
for
an
Increase
of
two
or
three
cents
an
hour
above
the
wage
scale
prevailing
in
Vancouver.
