Will Form New Unions In City

A number of new unions among the working classes in Charlotte- town and the Province will be established as the result of meet- ings at the L.P.U. Hall during the past 'two nights. it was announced last night by Mr. John W. Bruce. 0.B.E.

Mr. Bruce. along with a number of other Trade Union representat- ives, is visiting Charlottdtown at the request of the local Trades Council. He has been a Union member for 63 years and is one of the leading authorities on labor legislation. Born in Australia he served in the Boer War. moved to Canada 49 years ago and has been very active in plumbing and union work during those years.

During the course of his address at the well attended meeting he pointed out that the labor move- ment had been very useful in maintaining democracy and had played a big part in industrial peace.

Mr. Bruce stated that criticism had been directed at the move- ment because of some of the things that happened. especially strikes. but that most people had ignored the fact that the percent- age of strikes in comparison to the number of workers employed under good working conditions was al- most infinite.

He said there were less than 20.000 men out on strike in Canada but there were practically 1.000.000 men working under good agree- ments and maintaining industrial peace. ,

He remarked that the trade un- ion movement is growing enorm- ously "audit is remrakable the co-operation we received from the great majority of leaders in indus- try in aiding us to build up an efficient labor movement."

"We are not antagonistic to em- players and industry." he stated. 'We want to see industry grow and thrive but we believe we are entitled to our fair share of the prosperity so that we may live a better life."

He spoke briefly on labor legis- lation in the Province stating that "Prince Edward Island has the moat vicious labor legislation on the North American continent. one that takes away our rights and liberties."

Mr. Bruce is a director of the Polymer Corporation synthetic rub- ber plant at Sarnia. Ontario which is government owned. He is a member of the Dominion Council of Health and during the war served on the First National War Labor Board and on the War Sup- plies Committee.

Mr. J. M. MacAlduff of Char- lottetown. who presided over last night's meeting, stated that an ex- haustive study of the labor legis- lation in the Maritime Provinces had been made during the past

year.

He stated that on December 1 a 8-.oup had presented a brief to the

vernment regarding labor legis- lation and as yet the Government had done nothing about the brief.

Labor representatives visiting the Province with Mr. Bruce include Messrs. J. H. Stafford. Trades and Labor Congress of Canada; James Dwyer, Brotherhood of Carpenters; M. W. Stevenson, International Un- ion of Operating Engineers; Art Coleman. representing tha Amm-I. can Federation of Labor.

Beef Marketing Record

,1-IAMILTON. (CP)-All-time rec- ords in the domestic marketing of beef as well as in calf marketing and movement of feeder cattle were broken last year, H. J. May- bee. acting chief of the livestock division of Canada's marketing service. said Thursday.

In an address before the 35th annual meeting of the Industrial and Development Council of Cana- dian Meat Packers. Mr. Maybee said that prospects are for a con- tinued high level of livestock prod- uction during 1955 with some sur- pluses over domestic consump- tion, despite the fact that domestic requirements are steadily increas- ing due to a growing population.

Mr. Maybee said that Canada may be faced with an overall sur- plus of pork products this year, and that "if this is the situation. Canadian prices will likely continue to be influenced by the U. S. mar- ket except during temporary per- iods of light runs in Canada."
