EDMONTON LABOR DON'T
TAKE TO ONE BIG Union

EDMONTON. Alberta, July IT,
That the Edmonton -tades and labor
Council is entirely opposed to the
One Big Union movement and to the
activities being used to bring it about
is the statement of A. Farmilo, secre-
tary of the council, who says it is
not making for union but for disrup-
ton.
While the labor council sympathizes
with any movement which will be TO:
the advancement of labor interests,
it feels that the One Big Union would
not accomplish this. Questioned as
to how the project was being financed,
Mr.. Farmilo declined to make any
statement for publication, but said
that no funds were going from the
Edmonton labor Orga niZatio unless
possibly some were being sent by the
miners organizations.

(Co1tsnuod from Pooo ~
much time as possible TO make your
plans.
while have NO personal desire to
limit the time Of the session or the
extent to which legislation beyond
the urgent matters which make the
session necessary shall be consid-
cred, it is apparent from conference
with many members and from the
replies to my recent letter that the
general desire is to make the session
Ms brief as will be consistent with
the proper discharge OF public duty.
Il am therefore trying. in cooper
alton with the Committee on Refer
ence Of Bills and the various stand
ing committees to make such plans
az viii shorten AZ much as possible
the necessary time of the session.
Upon the recommendation Of the
Committee on Reference Of Bills an
informal session of various standing
committees will be held at Augusta
on October 14th and 18th for the pur-
pose Of drafting the necessary bills to
put the constitutional amendments
into effect. These bills will then be
printed and mailed to all members
and published in the newspapers. In
order ito give the public full oppor-
tunity to be heard the various COM
mittees will also be asked to assign
dates for public hearings on these
bills possibly on the afternoons OF
Nov. 4th and 9Th. The usual ma
chinery of committee hearings can
then be had after the session opens
without delay for advertising.
TT is now suggested with the APP
prevail of the Committee on Refer
ence Of Bills that any member who
has any other bills to present should
place them in the hands OF the
Committee on Reference Of Bills on
October 14th in order that the COM
mittee may arrange for assignment
of q date Of hea ring on each bill and
for newspaper advertising in advance
of the opening Of the session. Any
member wko has a matter in mind
but has not had the time to put II IN
form may send an outline of it to me
or to the Attorney General II ne
cares to and we will undertake to see
that it is put in form and presented
