CANADA TO FACE SERIOUS
LABOR PROBLEMS IN FALL
Demand on Part Of Workers Is Effective Share in Con-
troll of Industrial Processes-Employers
Are Yielding to Plan.

among the witnesses, The theories OF
collectivism or state ownership and con-
troll OF all the means OF production, OF
guild socialism or ownership by the state
and control by the workers of all tho
means of production, or syndicalism or
ownership and control by the workers
alone-all seem to have had their vague
influence on many OF those who have
spoken. The outstanding demand on
the part of the workers that can be seen
running through all the proposals is that
for an effective share for labor in the
control of industrial processes.
Employers. some OF whom have given
evidence before the commission, are be-
ginning to realize that some measure OF
joint control IL necessary. Certain OF
them are willing to 20 as far as the
Rockefeller scheme now in operation, for
instance. the Standard OIL Corporation,
which Is in the nature OF shop COM
mittee on a grand scale. This plan al
ready is being tried In the Imperial OIL
Company in Canada. 1t is open 10 two
criticisms the first, that II does not base
itself upon trade union organisation, and
il thus likely to be suspected MS tending
to weaken that organization; the sec
ond, that In small businesses agreements
arrived at with regard to such matters
as wages and hours could hardly be
made effective without some means OF
assuring that similar agreements would
be arrived at In rival Industries.
The same criticisms might be made
OF schemes which stop at the setting up
of shop committees and of such schemes
as those inaugurated by Mr.. Leitch and
set forth in his book Man TO Man"
This Is not to say that remarkable re-
suits may not be achieved, and have
not been achieved, by such schemes; and
II employers are right in stating that
organization on this continent between
employers as well as between employees
Is at present 30 imperfect that indus
trial councils cannot yet be set up TO
govern similar industries and industry
as a whole. then these schemes may
constitute the best beginnings for re-
form. At the same time II must soon
be realized that the alternatives for en-
ployere are Industrial councils on the
wider scale, or a constant succession of
strikes In the interest OF collective bar
gaining. The first alternative will mean
collective bargaining In which both par-
ties realize common responsibility and
in which bargains once made can be ad-
hered to: the second alternative means
chaos and will bring in its train n
DISCRIMINATION that will lead to the
Eravest danger.
Even IL much OF the evidence being
given before the commission Is of little
practical value. II Is serving TO impress
upon the country the need for altering
Its point Of view.
The commission is TO report In the
early part of the summer, and the in
dications are that the Government, US
ing the report and the present industrial
situation as a basis. will bring in legis-
lation or recommendation in support of
measure OF joint control in Industry.

MONTREAL PRAISES
FINANCE MINISTER
Sir Thomas White FaUored
No Section of Country.

Written especially for the Canadian Sec
tior OF THE Sun.
MONTREAL, June e.-The conservative
view Of the budgeL announcements Is
that the Minister OF Finance has faced a
difficult situation with commendable
courage. While declining TO grant any
wholesale revision OF the tariff as the
extreme free trade party of the West
wRnted-and the support OF the West Is
politically a very important matter for
the present Unionist Government-Sir
Thomas White has displayed no tendency
TO side with the standpat protectionists
of the East.
The Increase In the British preference
by removal OF the TN per cent war tax
as affecting imports from Great Britain
is considered an important step In fur
therance OF the trade within the empire
movement. The removal OF the war tax
as affecting general imports of food,
clothing, &C, 10 an attempt TO aid the
solution OF the cost OF living problem.
At the same time a general revision OF
the tariff is deferred until Parliament Is
In possession OF essential data as TO
costs of production. There Is no danger
in the moderate changes announced that
business will be disturbed during the
uncertain period OF adjustment from a
~
fort has been made to tighten the burden
OF high cost Of living.
In the continuance OF the business
profits tax and the higher tax on in
comes the Government is taking the only
course open b meet the increasing de-
mands for revenue 10 meet the costs OF
the war. The general understa nding was
that the business profits tax would lapse
with the ending of the war. but the
Minister OF Finance takes the stand that
while the actual fgnting has ended, OF.
the financial side the war is projected
for a year or so into the rehabilitation
period. In the income tax schedule small
incomes are affected to only a small en-
tent, while large incomes will have to
contribute very much more heavily to
the Treasury than under the old schedule.
All this n much as was expected and
the absence OF any declining tendency in
Canadian securities the day after the
budget speech indicated clearly enough
that business was well prepared for the
taxation announcements. The higher
taxes on incomes found moderate refiec-
ton In new prices for some OF the tax
free bonds OF the Dominion Government.
