Murray’s sug- . . gestion that the provincial lahor Jaws aye due for ‘ ee an-overhaul grows more commendable with every day j’ strike of British Columbia pulpworkers continues. Yesterday the unions decided to withdraw all secur- ity guards, maintenance men and power plant em- ployees in an effort to completely cripple the indus- |: wbhyis costly pulp and paper mill. The mill operators, i through their spopkesman said i in effect that they i couldn't care less. The pulpworkers have stated that * they are prepared for a “long, long strike.” The op- a erators have countered by indicating that they can (| keep their plants shut down for just as long. So the ‘ strike passes the two. week mark and no solution has heen found and no move to find one has been made. “Meantime production has been. at a . standstill, pay | cheques have been non- existent, bills have been piling “Re : - Therefore Mr. Murr ay’s suggestion that a court of: Jabot relations be established has a great deal of ; merit. Much has been done to improve B.C.’s labor ee jaws but there is still room for improvement. r . ‘The big lack in oux labor legislation is a means “whereby labor-management disputes can be conduct- ed within the law and still not hinder production. Halting production is undoubtedly a big stick in the unions’ hands but it is a dcuble-edged sword in as much as when a plant closes an employee ceases to work and the money for his groceries comes to an end. On the other hand, when a mill stays closed its former employees begin ‘drifting away in search of a livelihood, not in great numbers but by the time the’ plants reopen many former millworkers will be among the missing and in all probability engaged in some other form of work, Yesterday John Sherman, pulpworkers. union international representative accused the operators of not bargaining collectively. At the same time the spokesman for the operators made it clear that the companiés would not entertain any thought, of re- suming talks except on a basis of the 7/2 per cent increase recommended by the majority report of the conciliation board. _To us it. would appear that neither group is ready to bargain-in good ‘faith. In any stalemate both sides must give in a little before the other is convinced that there is a sincere desire to try to reach an agreement. A court of labor relations made up of union and company teacers, plus representatives of the govern- ment and the judiciary as Mr. Murray. suggested, could have been trying to solve the dispute all this time without production being halted and men being out of work. Thus the economy of British Columbia in general and Prince Rupert in particular would not have suffered the setback it has. Many persons not remotely connected with the pulpworkers or the mills would still have their jobs. At the same time, while such a court of lahor Ve- lations would bea hoon, one wonders if one such body would be enough. What with union contracts in every industry expiring practically every week of the year and many of them going beyond the concilia- tion hoard stage, it might be-found that we would need about a dozen courts of labor relations going full blast eight hours a day, five days a week to handle all the disputes, ' Inany case, the time has come for both the union and the mill operators to swallow their stiff-necked pride and make the first move toward settling a dis- agreeable matter that is affecting many more people Ottawa ope, ', s } rs) i Aq ! ‘ ee ee ee i i 7 " fl gE ES Be fe & z. than just themselves, Tt takes two to tango hut one of the pair always has to lead the way.

Publishers of the book an- nounce a sworn circulation cf 1,250,000, of which 900,000 are in English and 350,000 in French. Inside the front cover of the British Columbia edition are messages of introduction from Premier W. A. C. Bennett and Education Minister L. R. Peter- son, each accompanied by a pic- ture. The book contains a quantity of useful and plainly-written material about the International Geophysical Year, about B.C. and its centenary; chances for a carecr as a professional engin- eer; football; the cultural ori- gins of Canadian people; tne thines worth reading about. | Sandwiched between: these |educ ational articles are full-page /advertisements from. industrial j firms: “rE for Eveready; F for Fish from the Canadian.
