available for work on the Camp Gagetown project.

The Rcgionsl officials point art that if vacancies did exist at the camp. the idle man in New Bruns- wick of course would be first choice. -

In every town in the Maritimea, there are more than enough idle men to fill any local job which becomes vacant It is understood that tho situation in Upper Can- ada is very much the suns. Large numbers of men flock to the cities each year as the cold weather ap- proaches. and there is always a surplus of labour. during the win- ter months.

The movement of man to Inb- rador has Ibo stopped. and it is not oxpectcd that any more men will be sent in that region until next Spring.

Engineers Hold Social Evening

-The December meeting of the Prince Edward Island branch of the Erigineerlng Institute of Can- ada was held in Summerside on Wednesday evening at Howards Restaumnt and was in the nature of a social evening atterided by members of the organization from various parts of the Province. In addition to the Island members, Mr.. Eh-ic Mercer of Newfoundland was also present and acted as chairman for the evening and in- troduced the speaker, the Hon. Walter E. Darby. attorney general and provincial treasurer. who in a most interesting and informal manner gave a talk on his recent trip to the United Kingdom where he appeared as one of the attorn- eys before the Privy Council.

a case before that court centering around an appeal of the Canadian Provinces inlvolving control of trans-border traffic on Canadian

hiohwiiva.

After diemribing the procedure of the Privy Council. a descrip- tion which i.n itself was an educa- tion to those present, he went on to give his impressions of the historic sites he had been privilqad to visit while in London andPai-is. I-Ietoldofhishcur of the Tower of Ixmdon. the fa- mous school of Eton, his impres- sions of the educational system in the United Kingdom, where sou- denta with limited means, having attained a certain degree of edu- cation through their own personal merits, are enabled to obtain fin- ancial aid from the government to complete their degrees and en- ter any profession they are fitted

for.

While in England Mr. and Mrs. Darby had paid a visit to the home of Shakespeare at Stratford on Avon and also the cottage of A.nn.I-iathawny. He said they were not able to inspect the interior of these as they were closed for the season at that time of the year.

In A vivid manner he told of thsir trip to Paris where on a visit to the Louvre they had spent an all iioo lhort a time viewing the marvels in ssulpture, paintingand architecture can diqilay there.

Mir.Darbyeaiditistobsre- grettad that more peoples of the world are notable to see a.nd ad- rnrlre these great metropolitan cen- tns but at the suns time he felt a great sense of relief in hlshoine comirg and that although he had been privileged to see many great wonders of art, paiming and sculpture he had always ssaned to feel "hunched in" while there and had only lost that feeling on re- tum to his native land-Canada.

rats increase for the company and emphasised no union's feeling that the wage increase sought and the .40-hour week could be financed from the present revenues of the company.

He told of meeting Mr. Mscxay in tho labia": Halifax office and was told the local company could not grant the 40-hour week not- withstan” that it was in effect in the Maritime Telephone and Telegraph Company. He noted a complaint that Halifax employees were used hora during the cut- over to the dial system and they only worked five days while Island employees on the same job work- ed five snd one-half days.

On one point of the wage dis- aueemsnt he pointed out that an employee must work 145 months before he received top pay for his group. In other parts of Canada. he said, it was as low as 04 months while the Maritime T. and T. em- ployee: only had to work 100 months. He also compared the wage rats: received here with those of the other Maritime Provinces as well as Ontario, Manitoba. Sask- atchewan, Alberta and British Col- umbia. In addition he said all of them were on five day week.

Arbitration Boards

Mr. Tracy said there were many other employees in this city enjoy- ing the five-day week and citcd several instances. He said the union had accepted the decision of the arbitration board, but it had been turned down by Mr. MacKay. He thought the company could establish it here as it would mean adding only a small number of men to the payroll. rl-le thought that the releasing of to operators last summer indicated the financial statement as contained in the an- nual report was not a true picture at this time.

He claimed that subscriber rates here were higher than in compar- able compnnies elsewhere and the wages are lower.

Mr. Tracy also stated he had been told by Mr. Macxsy that the latter would grant a higher increase if the union would appear before the Commission in support of a rate increase. However. he said he refused as he thought it could be done on the present rates.

Mr. J. 0. C. Campbell asked briefly regarding the comparison with the lower rates in Alberta. Mr. Tracy said it was Government owned. Mr. Campbell remarked per- haps we. can expect things to be free in Alberta as it is rapidly be- coming Cariadals richest province.

Bell Telephone Co.

Mr. Campbell referred to an- other company mentioned .by the witness, Bell Telephone. and thought the reference might lead to a conclusion opposite to the one sought. He suggested that if their rates were lower than ours, in an area of denser population, it might be because that is "all the traffic can bear". He said his object was to see "that we don't impose on our farmers and fishermen more than the traffic will bear. If,wg do the, use of telephones becomes less." He added that this might tend to re- sult in deterioration of the service through loss of subscribers.

Mr. Tracy replied that in citing the Bell Company he had also said that while their rates were lower their wages were higher. Mr. Campbell suggested that perhaps the situation should be compared to that of freight rates where special ones were in effect due to the geographical position of the Maritimcs.

Mr. Campbell asked if witness would suggest that the population of Prince Edward Island in general should get a five-day week. The answer received was probably not when "we get into agriculture." but he thought that situation was the same across Canada. and added that in Ontario it was found the farm- er: were not putting in a five day week because of being snowbound in winter when thcy did nothing.

Mr. Campbell asked if Mr. Tracy thought his plant men were work- lng hsrdu than the farmers here. and reminded him that the soon- gmy of this Province and the source from which the wages of his mer. came was the pockets of the farm- ers.

Farming Conditions

Mr. A. W. Gaudet asked the wit- ness if any study of alarming con- ditions here had been made and was answered in the negative. He also liked the basis for making the wage increase request and was told it was the financial statement in the annual report of the company.

Mr. R. W. Manning inquired as to how many men it would take. added to the payroll. to put. in the five-day week. He was told the the company said five more would be 0 " but the ,' mm- oained they were five men short now. .

Mr. Tracy said the five and one- half day week was economically unsound. The run worked from 8 to in on Saturday morning and that rsvpresentsd only a waste of time as by the time they loaded the truck, went where they were going. unloaded the truck again it was time to start for home. He stated the company office workers were only working about 80 hours now."

Quouionsd on technical financial matter: he claimed the adjulunent in income taxes had made a bit difference in British Columbia where N company had been able to diqscnas with s. granted In- ereau in rates.

” Union Membership

In answer to a question by Mr. Allison Gulls he said that all men excepting office workers were elig- ible to join the union and over 90 per cent now belonged. He said they have the eheckoff systcm for coliecting dues. .

Mr. Giilis also asked relative to the possibility of an increase in rates causing subscribers to stop the service. Mr. Tracy said there might be but he was not prepared to any as-some companies used that as an argument. However. he expressed the neiisruiot moat tole- ohnnaa wars in Charlottetown and

Bummerside and not in rural areas.

Mr. Gillis also made reference to recent efforts of a shipping firm to sell its ships due to union de- mands and thought that in the end the matter had been harmful to the union.

Ming Tracy replied that "we are abiding by the laws. not breaking them." He stated the union was abiding by the decision of the arbi- tration board comprised of "three respected men of this city." He maintained that the layoff of 40 girls meant that the payroll was now not so great as before. When Mr. Giliis brought out the point that wages and income generally are lower here than elsewhere in Canada and asked if instituting I. five-dey'week in other places had resulted in higher rates he was told the witness was not sure.
