Halifax Packers Charge Workers Are Inefficient

By HAROLD MORRISON Canadian Press Staff Writer HALIFAX (CP\-~A prominent

fish packer and exporter says t-he average. Halifax fish plant worker doesn't give a day’s work for a day’s pay, is inefficient and gen- erally takes no pride in his job.

In contrast, added President D. M. .\1acKenzie of Halifax Fisher- ies L i m i t e d. the Lunenburg worker was steeped and schooled In the traditions of fish packing. He took pride in “a good job well done." .

And so Lunenburg fish plant employees got more money than did those in Halifax. Halifax plants would be willing to pay more if they could get more ef- ficient workers, he told the royal commission on price spreads Thursday. But efficient workers just didn't seem to be available.

MORE ADVANCED

“You mean that there are some people like that in Halifax?" asked commission chairman Dr. Andrew Stewart of Edmonton.

“I am sorry to say there are," replied Mr. Ma.cKenzi‘e, vice-pres- ident of the Atlantic Salt Fish Ex- porters Association.

Commission member C-leve Kidd of Toronto, president of the Ontario Labor Federation, sug- gested that perhaps productivity was greater at Lunen-burg be- cause of a more advanced tech- nology there.

Mr. MacKenzie agreed that technology may be a factor but

basically he believed it was a question of whether a man was proud of the work he did and whether he was willing “to give a day’s work for a day’s pay." From time to time, Halifax plants did get some efficient workers but sooner or later most of those moved on to other jobs, attracted by higher pay.

MARKETS BLAMED

The question of efficiency arose as spokesmen for the exporters and packers outl-ined their prob- lems before the commission, arg- uing that world rnarketing diffi- culties prevented them from pay- ing fishermen as much for their catch as fishermen in the New England states are paid.

Mr. MacKenzie said that if Canada could find some way of reopen-ing the Brazilian market for salted fish, Canada's exports might rise by some 50 per cent and Canadian fishermen could get top prices for their fish since Brazil was a premium market, the biggest buyer in the western hemisphere‘.

But because of currency and other difficulties, Brazil purch- ases most of her needs from Nor- way and other sterling area coun- tries, under barter deals. Canada is virtually blocked from that

huge and lucrative market.

M-ost of the Canadian Atlantic salted fish went to the Caribbean area and here local government price ceilings hampered exporters in their drive to get a reason- able price for their product. TOP COMPETITION

Competition from other export- ing countries was keen. Recently some Newfoundland shippers had to quote prices of $14.62 a hundred pounds for salted cod-fish when the cost to the plant was about $15.80.

Jamaica got a big tariff prefer- ence in the sale of her sugar in Canada. The preference virtually paid for two-thirds of her imports of Canadian codzfish and yet Ja- maica kept a firm price ceiling on imports to the detriment of exporters.

Mr. Kidd observed that pack ers paid fishermen between 6% cents and seven cents a pound for split or boned fish and sold this for 16% or 17 cents. How was the 10 - cent price spread ab- sorbed?

Mr. MacKen7.ie estimated that codfish, after it was cleared alld dried, cost the company about $10.20 a hundred pounds. The average plant overhead was $3.75 a hundred while packaging cost another $1.50.

(Continued from Page 1) the conduct of the crime; the erime; the doors of the tax office were reportedly locked when the caretaker arrived in the morn- ing: an hourly‘police patrol of th e building is maintained throughout the night and all doors leading to the upper part. of the City Hall are kept locked from the street. The only en- trance to the building is through the Police Station where a desk man is on continual duty. - STILL ANOTHER CASE

While trying to ‘solve the City,

Hall crime, police have the double task of investigating a'sec- ond theft at the home of Tony Mamye who runs a grocery store on the corner of Dorchester and Weymouth Streets. .

Thieves here are reported to have taken $1,300 from Mr. May- me‘s home on 244 Dorchester Street. The large amount of cash on hand is acounted for by the storekeeper in view of the fact that Wednesday was payday on the C.N.R. and a number of his patrons had paid their charge accounts. ' I MONEY IN BEDROOM

The groceryman states. that he had taken the cash to the bed- room of his home and had intend- ed to deposit it in the bank on the following morning. When he arose yesterday morning the money was missing. He reported the matter to the police.
