Two Big Companies Now
Control Most of Bread
Making In Canada

By International Labor News Service
Montreal, Sept. 1.-The staff of lift
in Canada is rapidly getting away
from that condition of competitor
that used to be described as the NE
of trade. A few weeks ago a big
merger of bakeries in eastern CANADA
was formed; now comes the announce
ment of merger of the most lmpof-
tant bakery concern in the three
prairie provinces.
The announcement further says that
the new merger will not compete WIN
the western branches of the Canada
Bread Company, which has Its head-
quarters in Toronto.
The companies entering the Wesa, odo
ern merger now produce l,4VV'VVV
leaves of bread per week. The Cana
da Bread Company produces Just over
/ 600. 900 loavs ner week: All Can- ,-
ada has a population Of less than
Q 900 900. So these two concerns al.
ready control a considerable portion
of the staff of life of the people
The controlling interests of the two
concerns are almost identical In chat
acter. and therefore there Will be d
wotking alliance precluding. any pos
sibiiitv Of damaging competition, say,
tho announcement intended to lnteIes'
investors. No promise of fed9e'lo''

movement of Illinois to have this done,
and to bring home to the membership
of the labor movement i'm Illinois, and
those friendly who may not be in the
labor movement, the need for con-
tinuously functioning activity to keep
the people informed of the decisions
of the judges in our courts, their
meaning with relation to justice and
our form of government, so that in
the primary and general elections We
may be able to secure the nomination
and election as judges in all of our
courts all of the time of men who are
competent, honest and fair. who be-
lieve in our American government,
and whose sympathies are with hu-
manity."
President Walker says that he has
had no complaints in reference 10
competition from convict-made goods
manufactured in Illinois, but that
there have been many complaints con-
eerning such competition from other
states.
Sees Industrial Outlook Dark
As to present industrial conditions
| in Illinois and the outlook for the inn
mediate future, President Walker's
views are at wide variance with the
published optimistic reports emanat-
ing from the Department of Labor al
Washington. President Walker has
the following to say on this subject;
''The past year has been marked by
great unevenness in the distribution OF
prosperity or the lack of ii among the
working people of this state. Some
trades which are not greatly depend
ent upon the swing of the business
pendulum, such as the ianitors and the
milk wagon drivers, have successfully
| fought off any encroachment upon
their wage rates and are more pros
porous than ever before. The building
tradesmen have been through another
boom year, and, except in those areas
lwhkhs were isldustIially saenressed
building workers have had about al
the work they could do. That, how
ever, states all there is to be found OF
the bright side. The coal mines of ILL,
nois have been through the worst
year they have ever experienced. Un'
employment in this industry has beer
rule without many exceptions.

At Atlantic City recently the MIN
