STRIKES NOT BANNED

Canada now is operating under
federal legislation to safeguard
h,r defense industry under a pro-
gram agreeable TO employers and
labor unions alike.
strikes are not banned. but the
federal labor policy defines a rea-
sonable wage.
Dominion law also prohibits the
Turing of labor from one defense
job to another with the bait of
higher pay.
To assure workers of a living
wage in spite of inevitable living
cost increases. the Dominion pro-
vides "a wartime cost of living
bonus"
Industrial employment in Wind
sor this January reached 28.508.
an increase of 4.453 over the high

Other random indications of the
Dominion's boom is the fact that

There are more men and women

than ever before in history. Simi-
lar activity is found throughout
the Dominion.
War orders totaling $50. 900 900
ar, being filled in the Border City.
Several factories are operating "a
hours a day turning out baby
tanks. trucks. airplane parts and
paints and varnishes.
Drugs. mattresses and webbing
equipment such as knapsacks and
puttees are being sent from Wind
sor factories to war zones.
But Canada sees economic pit
falls in this prosperity.
Already the Dominion has taken
legislative steps to ward off ex-
cessive living costs and wage
jumps as follow in a boom's wake
and are blamed for the imitation
which followed the World War.

MORE BUTTER, TOO

A second is the fact that Cana
dams are spreading approximately
100000 more pounds of butter
on their bread per month than
they did in pre-war days.
Wholesalers and retailers al
ready are restrained by law from
wartime profiteering on essentials.
The Dominion is sill working
out details Of the wage stabiliza-
ton policy announced last Decem-
Der Is by the Hon. Norman A.
McLarty. II recommends:
That the wages of 1869
or any point since then. which
ever is higher. in the particular
industry in question should be
the basic rates for the duration
OF the war.
THAT wartime cost of living
bonuses shall be paid to work
ers every time the cost of living
advances s per cent.
Although no figure Is agreed
upon for these bonuses. il was sug-
gested recently that Sl25 per
week would compensate each
worker for per cent increase.
The Dominion Bureau of Stats
tics reported an s per cent in
crease in the cost Of living as of
December, 1910 Unofficial esti-
mates place the jump at 10 per

Grazing Lands
In Fine Shape
Says Director

Federal Grazing Director R. H.
Rutledge said today that federal
grazing lands in the West are in
"the best condition in years" to
meet increased demands of the
defense program for beef, leather,
mutton, and wool.
Systematic range use and pre-
lection coupled with range inn
provements Of every type and
favorable weather conditions" he
said, have placed the federal
range in the West in the best con-
dition in years"
Rutledge, just back from an in
spection tour of federal range ter
ritories, reported to Secretary of
Interior Harold L. Ickes that gen
eral issuance of 10-year grazing
permits will begin on July 1.
The permits will be issued to
range users in all of the grazing
districts established by the govern
ment. Heretofore, the grazing ser
vice has issued one-year licenses
to stockmen which permitted them
to Craze their stock on federal
lands.
