Speaking of conditions in 13mg- land, Major Gormley saw little change since the war. Food, if anything was just as scarce and the variety limited.

The people themselves were, on the whole. bearing up well, but were resigned to thefact that it would be years before they would obtain a position comparable to that Brlloyed in pro-war years.

The Bisle-y team was command. ed by Lti-Coi. H. Sioman of Ot- tawa. The Adjutant was Capt. AG. Gunter of saint John. N15.

Aussie Mining Town is Worker's iieaven

4 __ (c?) ._ This lead-mining town o; 30,000 inhabitants in western New South i/Voles i5 iii! one industrial ICW" i" Aimiraiia where strikes are almost unkndwli-

In the last 28 years there has been only one strike. It was on June 15 this year when miners su-“Ck fm- Ong day hCCEUSC the mine management refused to pay an extra (34 cents a week to in- gtructorg training rehabilitation trainees.

This unique tranquility in the turmoil of industrial unrest in Australia today is because of a bonus paid to all employees above and below ground according to fluctuations in the price of lead on the world markets.

The bonus at present amounts to $112 a. month to each worker, but it is to rise to $120 shortly. The basic wage t0 a mine!‘ amounts to sud a month. contract miners work much harder and, at. times, receive n pay envelope 0i over $600 a month.

Not Inventive Wages

The mine management do not pay the bonus as incentive wages but as part o-f a profit. sharing system under which the men re- ceive their share in. the present high price of lend.

Eight cents g shift is paid when the price of lead is s51 a ton. I-"rom then on the bonus rises by eight cents a shift for every three dol- lars a ton.the price of lead rises. The current price or lead is $292.80 a ton.

The unions and the mine man- agement depart from the usual custom of arbitration and discuss their grievances at a round-table conference. So for the system has been successful.

But. wiithell the benefits in the workers there is no surplus labor in the town.

The miner's union and the management see to that. by putting s qualification on employment. An employee must have resided in Brcken Hill for at least seven years or been born or educated in the town.

Should a dispute break out that could not be settled without re- sorting to a strike or "go-slow" tactics the bonus to all wwvrkers would stop immediately.

The Newfoundland statesman hastened to assure The Guardian that he has no affiliation what- ever with any Canadian political party and that his present visit to Uttawa- where he will be a guest o1 the Liberal Party at its Na tzonal Convention is “absolutely free" from any partisan political tinge.

Attending Liberal Convention

"As a matter of fact I- came to Canada this time for a rest after our rather strenuous referendum campaigns. I was in Toronto for n time and since a National Col.- vention of the Liberal Party was being held in Ottawa, decided l would like to attend as an ohsnrw er to see how such conventions are run. If opportunity afforded. I would also have attended the CCF Convention or the Progres- sive Conservative convention at. the end of September."

Mr. Smallwood is attending the current National Liberal Conven- tion e guest. of Senator A. N. Mc- Lean. and expects to have a talk on mattcrs of’ mutual interest wit... J. Wason MacNaught.
