Make sure the approaches to your Not In The Publics Interest By LEWIS MILLIGAN “The Union'has offered to provide power for homes, hospitals, institutions and essen- tiol services in the event of a strike, but would blockout industrial prémises,”’ The above is a paragraph ina report in * the Toronto Globe and Mail on the negotia- tions between 10,000 members of the Hydre Employees’ Union and the Ontario Hydro Electric Commission. The, report sums up the. noture of the dispute as follows: “The Com- mission has stood by a majority report of the «conciliation board whch recommended a two- 7yeor agreement with increases of 1/2 per cent - during each of the two years. A minority re- . port. proposed BY per cent increase during - each of two years.’ The union has a perfect right to refuse «to accept the jud: the cor vboord and to insist upon its demand for the extra percentage increase. And it was legally within its rights to call a strike if its demand wos not granted. But the right to strike was never intended to vest in a union or any prop- rietary or temporary directing rights such as those assumed by organized labor in these days. The above quotation is an example. It is worth repeating: “The union has offered to provide power for homes, hospitals, institu- tions and essential services in the event of a strike, but would blackout industrial prem-' ises." house: are safe at all times for family, visitors and tradesmen, 4, Check roof and eaves often to-see that there is no danger from falling ice or snow. 5. Keep small children from playing on icy roads, : Take particular care when a cold period follows a thaw. 7. ith children spending more time indoors, guard against fey left lying on floors and stairs. In making that offer the union leaders doubtless felt they were being very generous and humanitarian in deciding to permit the Hydro Commission to supply power for the lighting and heating of the people’s homes, hospitals and other “essential services.” Pre- sumably these latter would include street lighting and street railways. But industrial premises, which are absolutely essential to the maintenance of supplies for the whole com- munity, would be blacked out. And: the work- ers in those industries, would, of course, be deprived of their means of livelihood while the strike lasted, . * Whatever merit or justice there is in the demands of the Hydro Employees’ Union, there is no common sense in the proposal to disrupt and throw into cheos the industrial life of the entire province. just because of a two per cent difference between their demand and the recommendation of. the conciliation Board. Premier Frast recently made a prize un- derstatement when he remarked that “a strike is not in the public interest.” The plain truth is that strikes are not in the interest of any section of the community — least of all the union workers who lose more by loss. of wages during the strike than they gain by the settlement.

A feliow i've always thought bright ask- ed me a suprising question tne other day. "Say," he sata, ““t see everybody's talk- ing abou: intiation. Just wnat tne neck is it. 4nd whac can | do about it?” Maybe you, too, haven‘t bothered to find oul whac intiation is, wnat causes it, and what you can do about it’ Some people are so busy at their own affairs they can‘t take time out to study such things. So here’s what | told my triens. “"1€ your wife makes soup,” | said, “and it tastes good, would you ask her. to put another gallon of water in the pot so there'd be more of it?” “Heck, no,” he said. ‘That’d spoil it.” “Well, then, you understand intlation, If she puts in more water without adding more meat and vegetables, she’s inflated your soup. She made more soup, but she deflated every bowl of it. Put money in the place of water, and goods and services in place of the meat and vegetables, and you've got a fairly good analogy.” He ‘grinned. ‘As an old soup-eater, I’ve gotcha! But nobody around our place would try to get away with watering the soup — or the whiskey, either. “Who's guilty?” “You mentioned whiskey,” | said. waters it?” “Gotcha egain,” hé said, ment, “Who . “the govern- of. course. Might have known you'd biame it‘on the government. You blame every- thing on the government.” “Not entirely,’ 1 said. blame the people who vote tor political candidates be- cause they promise to spend money all over the place, money that doesn’t produce any- thing or help get anything produced. That kind of money is like more water on the same meat and vegetables. Governments are to blame to a great extent for not having the courage to | hold the line, while they ask others to hold it.” He grinned. “What about me? How can ( fight this thief that’s eating into the value of my bankroll?” "You," 1 said, “can quit loafing.” Doa full day's work for a day's pay. Make sure. any product that comes from your hand is made as well and as quickly as you can make" it. Produce more per hour before you ask for higher hourly pay.” “Ummmmm,” he said. “Does that go for you, too?” “It goes for me, too. For everybody in Cariada. It’s the unit cost-of things that kills us, What's the use of producing plenty if it costs so much per piece that we can’t sell it? Let's get costs down and productivity up — then see how much you can buy with your pay check!” “l go along with you, pal,’’ he said. I hope you do too! “ Kingarson Rebekah Officers Installed On January 19th, in the St. Alban’s Parish Hall, the 1959 of- ficers of Kingarson Rebekah Lodge No, 75 of Castlegar were installed in the first private cere- mony of installation ever to be held by the lodge.
