of

The

was

In

The
meeting
opened
with
a
brief
address
by
Ocorgc
Stanton,
president
of
the
Boilermakers
Union,
who
Introduced
the
principal
speaker,
Malcolm
McLcod,
first
outlined
the
facts
and
circumstances
surrounding
the
causes
leading
up
to
the
forming
of
the
Shipyard
Federation,
pointing
out
that
the
main
Issue
at
stake
was
the
struggle
for
self
autonomy
In
the
administration
of
affairs
of
locals
without
Interference
by
other
bodies.
He
described
how
the
Idea
was
the
culmination
of
a
series
of
three

at
which

that

the
steps
leading
up
to
the
establishment

Mr.
McLcoa
went
on
to
give
a
description
of
the
services
that
the
Federation
can
and
intends
to
give
to
the
affiliated
locals.
The
various
advantages
of
this
consolidation
move
were
also
pointed
out.
The
many
points
elaboratcdon
were:
the
establishment
of
a
master
agreement
covering
all
the
B.C.
shipyards
so
that
all
yards
would
have
universal
working
conditions
and
wage
agreements
so
that
much
confusion
would
be
removed
as
well
as
duplication
of
efforts.
The
Federation
was
the
first
big
step
towards
the
setting
up
of
a
national
body
of
shipyard
workers
on
an
Industrial
basis.

that

The

to
do
this
Is
to

materialize.
Otherwise
this
