Union have complained that consider
able unemployment has been caused
by the drastic orders from the various
provincial governments, at the sug-
geStiOn of the Dominion government.
Regulating the beer parlorS and pack

Many hundreds of bartenders and
walters have been forced out of jobs
because of the cut in selling hours at
the beer parlorS or beverage rooms,
as they are also known. In some
provinces the hours have been cut to 5.
The action by the provincial gov

without consulting organized labor. As
a result, formal protests have been
made to the individual governments,
and conferences have been or are be
ing held or arranged to discuss the
situation.

He said the Government through

Labor Board permits wage increases
as high as - per cent in private in
dustry to cover increased living costs
since that date, but at the same time
the Government has done little or
nothing to take care of its own en-
ployees who have not received any pay

fact, the members of the union that |

in the postal service not received any

Pointing out that the law recently
passed by Congress giving overtime

plOyees or Il bonus in lieu thereof, ap-
plies to only about half of the Federal

George urged as an approach to JUS
tice for workers employed by the Gov
ernment, the prompt "enactment of n
simple law granting Government en-
plOyees Il wartime pay bonus of $500
Il year. which would expire six months
after the end of the war. This would
amount to less than $6 week for each
Government worker. Surely this is not
too much to ask or too much for the
Government to pay to its sadly neg

Mr.. Arthur s. flemming, Il member
of the Civil Service Commission and

This spirit, however, is not con-

.Wickurd Promises
Aid On Form Labor
Tells Senate Group Draft
Deferment System Will
Be Revised

Washington. - Claude X. Wickard,
Secretary of Agriculture, promised TO
revise the existing system Of draft
deferment for vital farm labor 50 az
TO enable farmers to cope more effec-
lively with the manpOwer scarcity.
Mr.. Wickard, Ma jor Gen. Hershey
director Of the Selective Service and
Chairman McNutt Of the Manpower
Commission testified before the Senate
Committee on Agriculture.
Senator Wheeler, chairman of the
committee, said:
The country is up in arms about
this manpower thing. They want to
know what you're going to do with an
army of 100000 men. How are You
going to ship the men, their food and
supplies and still raise the food and
make the war materials at home?
Senator Bankhead, leader of the
Farm Bloc, asserted that the existing
formula excludes nearly 50 per cent
Of all cotton growers and that it tend
ed to break up family-size farms which
grow only enough food for family
needs.
Mr.. Wickard defended the policy as
the best that could be devised at the
time and General Hershey testified
that since it became effective two
months ago local draft boards had
passed over about 10000 farm work
erS who otherwise would have been
inducted.
Secretary Wickard said the pro
gram had two aims, to guide draft
boards and to give farmers an incen-
tive to produce needed war crops by
making deferment hinge on production
of such items.

Labor News From Britdin

Other highly unionzed Industries
are actively planning for the future
under guidance from the Government.
Employers and Trade Unions are sit
ting down together al the suggestion Of
the Minister of Labor to consider meas
ures of reorganization for the industry
after the war. These discussions begin
at the beginning with the problem Of
apprenticeship. The Minister has asked
the industrys War Emergency Stand
ing Committee, representing both EN-
plOyers and Unions, to advise him on
the employment OF apprentices and
Juveniles in the printing trades, in CON
nection with the inquiry the Minister
has in hand on the apprenticeship
problem in all Industries.
a revised wage agreement for ap-
prentices in the printing trades is now
under consideration. The aim is to
establish progressive rates for male
learners entering the trade between
the ages of 16 and %, which will give
them at the age of 21-that is the first
year of responsible work, wage vary
ing from 62s6d. to G7sGd week ac-
cording to grade. Wages of indentured
apprentices are based on percentage
of jOurneymen's wages and fourth
i year apprentice gets the weekly rate
of 26s9d. Leaders in the printing
| trade on the Trade Union side are con
| Sidering, too, a proposal presented by
! the employers for Il Bill to be pro
noted by the industry in Parliament
embOdying Il complete scheme for self
government of the industry in the
matter of wages and workshop cOndi-
tiOnS.
1t is proposed in this Bill to EN-.
power the Minister Of Labor to make
binding on all firms in the industry by
special Order the terms of any agree
ment on wages and workshop condi
tions, including ratios of apprentices
to jOurneymen, negotiated by the EN-
plOyerS and the Trade Unions. This il
Il revival of proposals made before the
War for legaliZation of Trade Union
agreements 1t would be something pi
q new technique in industry. Unions iI
the printing trades incline to take the
view that it must be considered as
part of a general Plan for reOrganiZa
ton of the industry after the war.

LOndOn.-In the last war the prin-
cipal permanent gain of the British
workers was the establishment Of the
standard 4S-Hour Week. This is the
considered opinion of such authorities
on economic history as Professor A. j..
Bowley In the present war industry's
ma .jor gain, in the opinion Of competent
Trade Union leaders, at least, is the
Guaranteed Week.
The importance of the Guaranteed
Week to the building trade workers,
for example, is emphasized by their
leader Luke Fawcett He has recently
pointed out that among many changes
in the working and living conditions
of building trade workers is the de
caSualiZatiOn" of employment in the
industry. Before the war, he told me,
in discussing these changes, that build
ing trade operatives We're practically
nothing but a huge army of casual
workers. There was no stability in their
employment. They were taken ON, or
stood off, at any time on any day of
the week. Working on Il day basis,
they sold their labor by the hour. The
employer could dismiss them, or they
could leave their employer, by giving
or taking an hours notice.
This state Of affairs persisting
amongst highly skilled operatives was
demoraliZing. Luke Fawcett reminded
me that the men who live by casual
| /, hD r.; fnn of
hours notice, We're beset by anXieties
and hardships which no other body Of
workers had to face.
Guaranteed Time Payment
Many factors conspired to make en-
ployment in the building industry
casual and fortuitOus. Not only was
there the haphaZard incidence of build
ing, but there We're seasonal handi-
| caps In bad weather the building
| trade operative lost time and pay. It
| was Il common experience for him to
be "rained off, or frozen OUT and to
go home with half empty pay packets.
Such conditions have been changed.
since the war started, through the
| Governments exercise of an increas-
ngy direct and intimate control of
building trade operatives. Under this
control the industry has been steadily
decasualized. First there came the
Uniformity Agreement. BY this the
general principle of a guaranteed pay
ment for 80 hours weekly was estab-
lished. This left big loopholes how
ever. An operative could still lose
working time through weather condi-
tiOns.
The Essential Work Order applying
to the building and civil engineering
trades extended the principle of guar
anteed payment. 1t stipulated guar
antted time payment of Al hours. And
thus Britain's building trade operatives
are ensured for the first time in the
industry's history of full weeks pay
for Il full weeks work regardless of
weather or other conditions which pre-
viously played havoc.
1t is the most beneficial thing for
building workers attained in more than
Il century, Luke Fawcett said.

Electrician7

To have or not to have an electrician
that is the question Yes, that is
often the question of the operator of
the smaller mine or industrial enter
prise Now that electricians are scarce
we might review the situation without
appearing to be plugging for more or
less electricians.
The modern mine, mill or industrial
plant, in general, requires the unified
operation of many machines, just as
many links are required to form a
chain. These several machines may
be driven by small motors OF large
motors, but regardless of size, failure
of any one motor may cause complete
stoppage of production.
Now supposing that we have a com
petent electrician ON the job in charge
of mill. He is very conscientious
about oiling and cleaning motors, keeps
the motor starter contact smooth and
the starters clean, keeps proper heater
elements in the starters, keeps the
switch and fuse contacts clean. All of
this he does without shutting down the
mill, by being alert and making good
use of the time when the mill must
be down for refining the ball mill
and other repairs and changes. He
makes whatever new installations are
required in a first class manner and
keeps improving and maintaining the
complete installation in order to avoid
shutdOwns.
As "a result of his careful planning
he is seldom bustling around trying to
repair breakdowns, and eventually his
boss may feel that an electrician can
not be justified because there is in
sufficient electrical work Actually
this electrician is locking the barn
door before the horse is stolen. He is
preventing costly breakdowns that to-
day might result in the permanent
shut-down of the mill
Montana Kilowatt is fully aware
that this discretion does not answer
the question, "To have to not to have
an electrician"
However, if it has been called to
your attention a few points to think
about when you answer that question
for yourself, a contribution to the war
effort may result, because now, more
than ever before, we must keep the
wheels of production turning.
