10 Cents An Hour Is

' Average Wage Paid Embloyes. .

(C. P. By Guardian's special Wire)

OTTAWA, Dec. kli-Bixty-flve women work ‘in l home-canning

sor districts of Ontario for an av- erage wage oi l0 cents an hour. the Royal Commission on mass buying learned today from l-l. M. Cootes, Toronto auditor. They form pait of a new system in tomato

canning, introduced last year in Ontario King and Rankin, Ltd" of Belle le.

TheJuture of the Canadian can- ning industry lies in home produc- tion, William Rankin, one of the partners of the firm. advised the commission. His company places canning machinery on the farms. buying the processed goods from the growers who supply all labor. Farmers last year were paid cents a case for two dozen cans 0f tomatoes which was 25 cents a. bushel for the raw vegetables. the prevailing price and 15 cents for canning labor.

From an examination ‘of pay- sheets written by the farmers. Cootes found the average wage paid in the individual, home can- ning plants was 10.31 cents an hour. Out of a total of 113 workers, 05 women and four men were paid l0 cents an hour.

fThat is about the lowest wage we have heard in any industry," exclaimed Norman Sommerville, commission counsel.

Sam Facto“. Lib.. TOTTDlJO West Centre interiected that here was an instance of farmers exploiting lab- or.

J. L. Ileley. Lib, Hunts-Kings. disagreed. "It is merely an indi- cation of the very low farm wages that anply all over Canada."

"That is right." agree" Alex Ed- wards, Cons. South Watedoo, add- ing he did not believe there could be any interference with a farmer processing his own crop.

The King and Rankin firm main- tain warehouses at Belleville and Riverside to label the cans proces- sed on the farms. The auditor found a man. 40-years old, paid l0 and l? 1-2 cents an hour and a. 1'!- year-old boy. 1e cents.

"rhey ere not setting a very good example -to the fanners," crmmented Sam Factor. '_

King and Rankin, Ltd., averaged $1.54 as the selling costs of the to- matoes purchased from the farm- ers for 40 cents and had a small net loss on the year. Evidence in- dieated that the 40 cents paid the farmer was made up of 5 cents a bushel for the tomatoes plus l5 cents for canning operations.

When the auditor finished his re- port. Rankin took the stand and soon had an argument with F. R. Mdintosh. an omclal of Associated Quality Canhers Ltd, o! Toronto. Rankin was manager of the Belle- ville plant oi’ Associated Canners for four years and charged fann- ers there were docked for quality while under his system there was none.

McIntosh took exception to the statement, drawing from Rankin the statement. “I ought to know. I ran‘ your plant and did the dock-

"You might have docked but the company did not," McIntosh insist- ed which prompted Rankin to say he docked on the instructions of his superintendent.

Rankin said he had seen farmers docked from five to l0 per cent on tomatoes. He did not say it was unfair, adding "some farmers would bring in anything." Dock- sge was exaggerated at the end of a season, to discourage farmers from more picking.

Prompted by Norman scanner- ville, Rankin said he was convinced the large canning companies sold tomatoes below cost because they “do not want the independent company to operate."

“Why cannot you pay more to farmers?" Sam Factor asked.

"Bees/use we

than Canadian Canners largest company in Canada). Ran- kin claimed Canadian Canners set retail prices as well as prices to growers, the other canners sitting book until they moved.

Questioned by McIntosh again, Rankin said the machinery in the home caning plant was as exten- sive as in a commercial factory. The Associated Canners official in- sisted his company had as low pri- mary costs as Kine 811d but were forced to add more be-

cause of capital charges.

Montreal Shipping Most Reassuring

(C. P. By Guardian's Special Wirel MONTREAL, Dec. 28. -— Definite indications of recovery marked the ‘ transactions of the Port of Montreal during the i034 season and the outlook for i006 is "most reas- suring," John C. Newman, President of the Board of Harbor Commission- ers of Montreal, stated here today in a review of the past. season's activi- ties and a forecast of possibilities for the coming year.

While final figures for the year's commodity tonnage had not been compiled yet, Mr. Newman predicted that total tonnage handled through the port during the past year would show a marked increase over that for severe-l years beck.

“The one featine of the barber's wank which was disappointing," he said, "was the export of grain which dropped by about 0.000.000 bushels from 1033. Approximately 12,000,000 bushels of the grain imported from foreign countries was received at the elevators and included Argentine corn, oats and flax, mdian flax, Lat- vian rye, Polish barley and rye, Rail- sian rye and South African corn."

Austrians And ' Bavarians Clash

(A. P. By Guardian's Special Wire)

FURTH, Germany, Dec. Ill-One person was killed and nine others seriously wounded in a clash here tonight between Austrian storm. troopers and native farmers of Bav- aria, in which 500 took part.

Local police attempted ineffec- tively to halt the riots which origin- ated in a cafe frequently visited by Austrian refugees and Austrian storm troopers who are eiicamped at nearby Aibling, which is 12 miles from the Austrian frontier.

The trouble began when a Bavar- ian girl declined to dance with Aus- trians.

Twenty-six in all were wounded.

‘The Austrians attacked Bavarians with knives and chairs and shouted "down with Hitler."

The Bavarians hurled beer glasses and used knives and chairs as they shouted "out with the Austrians down with Austria!"

The restaurant was dcniollshedas the police were unable to act. Street fights followed and 300 armed S. S. men were called from Dachau. The latter mastered the situation and ar- rested great numbers of participants,
