CANADA UNIONS
INCREASE 1858
DURING ONE YEAR
Membership Report for
1927 is 290,282

Canadian gains by the Int. Associa-
ton of Machinists and the Brother
hood of Carpenters & Joiners were
chiefly responsible for the 1858 in
crease in the membership of Canadi-
an unions reported for 1927 to the
Canadian department of labor. The
international union group as a whole
showed smaller gains. The independ-
ent All-Canadian Congress of Labor,
including the One Big Union and the
Canadian Brotherhood of Railroad
Employees, appears as lusty young
rival to the Trades & Labor Congress
of Canada, affiliated with the Amer
lean Federation of Labor
Total membership of Canadian Ia
Dor unions in 1927, as reported to the
department, was 290,282. This COM
pared with 1882 in 1911 when the
department began gathering statistics
and with 1879 in 1918, the last pre-
war year. In 1919 Canadian trade
union membership reached a peak
with 378,047. But the sharp deflation
of the postwar years brought it down
to 260,643 in 1924. Since thai year
the total membership has been slowly
rising.
The growth of the socalled interna-
tional trade union group has not kept
pace with the progress of the Canadi-
an movement. This group is COM
posed of unions centering in the Unit
ed States, chiefly those affiliated with
the A. F. of L. and the railroad broth
erhoods. In 1911 these international
unions had 119,415 members, or about
80 per cent of all the organized work
ers in Canada. In 1927 their member
ship had increased 81 per cent to
180,755 but this represented only 81
percent of the total membership of
Canadian unions. In the interval the
number of Canadian trade unionists
had increased 118 percent.
The Canadian membership reported
by leading unions in 1922 and 1927
was:

HOOVER SEES INDUSTRY

The increasing practice Of American
industry in general and the building
trades in particular to eliminate the
traditional Winter slump" is noted
approyingly by Herbert Hoover in his
annual report as Secretary OF Com
merce. made public recently.
While a large number Of agencies
continue to abide by the exploded!
theory that construction IN Winter Is
botl. inadyisable and prohlbitlye. there
is a definite trend toward utilization q
the Winter months for construction OF
every type, II is stated.
The seasonal fluctuations IN build
ing and other construction operations.
says NJ Hoover. have been decidedly
less marked III the last three or four
years than previously. Contractors, the
owners of buildings and other groups
connected with construction have put
forth serious efforts TO keep building
activity more nearly even throughout
