The Salvation Army’s Work Shops

slave you ever wondered what

happened to that old furniture you _

gave to The Salvation Anny: the chair with the broken springs. the ‘hype-legged kitchen table and the ancient wooden bedstead?

,\. visit to any one of the ll I06- ial service industrial centers run by‘ The Salvation Anny throughout the country might give you ls clue.

The chairs springs were no doubt re-tled and the chair itself recovered with chints or tapestry found in a donation of old clothes. The mp1,; was probably fitted with it now leg. repainted or cut down to coffee-table size. Both headboard nutl footboard of the bedstead were probably used in the construction of a very smart well cupboard.

Numbers oi men-i find gainful em- pluyimfilll in The Salvation Anny’s workshops, which make a specialty of renovating, repairing and reha- hilizdttng old and discarded artic- les and pieces oi furniture. These ivorkshops unconsciously take to- wards discarded pieces of furniture the same attitude that The Salvat- ion Anny itself takes towards des- tilute humlm beings: nothing labe- yond redctmption.

From abandoned articles and furniture donated by factories, tlOl‘05 and homes, are produced eitrClBs that can be sold to low-in- tttfll‘) persons at nominal prices or

' to needy

3i ii without charge ixlnilllts.

The workmen are men of all azcs and of all degrees oi skill.

Many are physically disabled, agod, or tcmperamentally unsuited to Ilrdfllflry employment. Many men uhom society has known as out- casts find self-respect and useful- nnss in this shop work for ThQ Salvation Army.

Today many older workers who l"l\'C been skilled mechanics and ert craftsmen. artisans and {Lrvckmilifcrs are found nmong the iv kshops’ personnel. Other em- pioycrs of the Social Service Cent- ers drive trucks or collect donated material. Some handle only paper. collecting and baling newspapers nnd magazines.

in return for their work at these Stilvation Army social service ccnlres. the workmen are given a llfYllt‘ at the center. receiving bed. lodging. laundry facilities, and Fllllls of money commensurate with illikl‘ cffnrts. The centers accomp- lish the dual result of rehabilitat- ing the men, and oi doing this without calling upon tihe public for a dollpl‘ of their upkeep-

Packing Strike Issues liisoussed

TORONTO, Sept. l7 ~46?) - Represzntatives of the Unllcd Packlnghotise Workers of Amerna (CI-OJ and of the three major packing companies against which the llhlCm is conducting a nation- wide strL-ke for higher wages dis- cussed the strike situation in a rc- cent seven-minute broadcast over l CBC national network. i

President J.S. McLean of Canada Packers, speaking on behalf of ihls firm and of Swift Canadian fund Burns and C"mpany, said that

if the 12,000 striking workers an: l paid the extra S387 a year they dc-

mand, all or most of the increases twill come out of the farmer's p0:- 'ket in the fol-m of reduced prices for livestock.

t‘ Fred W. DJu-ling. Canadian di-r- ector ol the U.P.W.A., said the

9d P! P Pane!“ l“ the Pfln” foundlnnd. Mir. Agnew will be gi-eedstrike could have been nvcrled if

I the "big three" of the meat packing industry "had taken a more real- i-slnc attitude toward the problems of their employees“ and “if suit- able governmental machinery had

lbecn available to handle the dis- lpute." striki-ng

| Mr. Dowllng said the workers were "deeply aware" of the consequences of the strike. that they realized consumers socn would find it difficult i-i.’ not impossible to buy meat and were conscious that the farmer would be "hard hit." I

But hardest. hit was the individ- ual packinghouse worker who "vol- untlrlly cut off his entire income" in u strike decision which was "an act of desperation.

"The main-almost the only-is- sue lt stake is wages." said Mir. McLean. “Wages in the packing industry are not low, they are high, The average hourly rate for irnen is 88.1 ce-nts an hour. for fwomen 63.5 cents an hour. The average umbar of working hours a ' week is 42 1-2. This means that thsi average weekly take-home pay for men is $37.44. for women $25-99. ‘Ilhe average yearly take-home ply is $1,947 for men, $1,403 for wcm-

n. ' "Probably the man with the best !l’llllli to speak is the farmer. He is the man who chioily l! being pinched by the strike. He cannot} sell his livestock. ;

"But still more vital to him is the question of wages. for he fools; the bill. If the pucki-nghouse work-|

may“, paid an extra. $387 l year. ernment today included

comes out of thl federal-provincial-municipal Marmara pocket in the 10ml W N‘ ancing and it asked thl Federal Government to bear the sucih things as unemployment re-

ull or most of it duced prices for livestock."

Qtrlkerl’ Contention I l

[welfare It said municipalities can- , m“ not make future plans until they "Wm l“ m9 “t” “w day‘ pmmd‘ know what federal financial aid will be forthcoming.

Mr_ Dowllng maintllrled

itng the strike. the union was will- lng to continue negotiations and only ended them when» they were informed by the spokesman for the packers that the coonplfll! W110 lee no useful purpose in carrying on further negotiations. i

“The highest offer by two of the lunplnies durl-ng all these months of negotiations was for a five-cents- an-hour it crease. The other mall" packer had offered thrcc cents an hour but had coupled with this proposal a demand that the work- ers give up provisions in the con- tract which would have reduced the three cent: considerably. In some cases it would hlva meant l wage cut."

The wags demand-which aw‘!- agu 17 cent: lin hour-would give mule workers I minimum of S3459 l week. The plcksra had not argued their ability to ply the lncrclsr-
