Tlie Farm Labor Problem

The luutiiciul Post comes out with a stronfl warning ttgztiiist tlic failure at Ottawa to grapple with ilu- iztrm labor problem. T11R18 l5. 11 m‘ mind.» in.- ntucriimciu, one thing more import- ant tllun bullets in this war and thatDis‘ food. \\itltout an atlcqtiate stipply of that vital com‘ “unlit; fnl‘ ourselves and our allies then the light is hopeless. But while UIIEHVH i185 d0"?- a grczii tlt-nl n» tltfrvlup an ample supply of n1uni- tioiis, 11s tutiiiule has becirdisconcertingly com- placent regarding food. Only 1n the last few weeks ha. some semblance of a co-ordinatcd production plan appeared and so far little has been done in assuring that this plan will be carried out. The Post adds editorially:

"For over s. year farmers have been warning the Dominion government that they were run- ning desperately short of help. Yet the drain of young mcn and women from the countryside I0 the armed forces and urban munition plfl-HIS ha! been allowed to continue until farms arc almost completely denuded. That drain has now been officially blocked but as statements from com- pctent farm observers indicate the move came far too late to prevent serious injury.

"To assurs even n moderate food supply for our civilian population snd our armed forces st home, and to fulfill our export quotas so Great Britain, skilled labor must be diverted back to the farms, snd st once.

“Bacon, butter, eggs, chcsse, beef snd milk do not just grow on the farm of their own accord. Thcss foods are manufactured on the farm, from hay, grain snd other rsw materials, through the medium of livestock. Labor is required every day in the ycsr in this manu- flcturing.

“If we sit around snd mlrely talk about the fsrm labor shortage until seeding is ready t0 start next spring, thsn it will be too lstc t0 avert s food shortage. We can avoid that calam- ity, but we must sct at once."

Coming from s so-callcd "big interest” psper, this is signal recognition of the seriousness of the farm labor question, snd of the need of prompt snd sdequste action.

Canada's Coal Output

During November, the lsst month for which records are svsilabls, Csnsds produced 1,618,113 sons of cosl snd imported 2,516,951 tons. This snssns that our cosl minss are supplying about 4o per cont cf shs dssnsnd of the home msrkct, In rsmsiniing 60 scat coming from abroad, fliisfly from the nfisd Stilts.

The Steel Strikes

The strike of 12,500 Csnsdisn stud workers st this time is s serious threat to the effective- ness of our whole war effort. Without attempt- ing to discuss the merits of the basic minimum wage dispute which is claimed 1o be the prime cause of the trouble, the situation can fsirly be described as absolutely inexcusable snd incom- patible either with patriotic war effort on the one side, or efficient war leadership on the other.

According to the Sydney Post-Record. which is on the scene. the conflict st Sydney has now little to d0 with the plant management-it is, in effect and reality, a conflict between the strikers and the Dominion Government. The latter, acting through one of its numerous bureaus, has assumed the rcgulstioii snd con- trol of all wage rates for the wsr‘s duration. ft also exercises directly ifs powers of taxation by conscripfing all “excess profits" for the same duration. In consequence it is not the stscl com- pany’: treasury, but Canada's, whose receipts are increased or diminished by sny changes of wages from the existing frozen standards.

On the final count, concludes the Post-Record, the responsibility is on the Dominion Govern- ment's d00r-step_ And that rmponsibility has been tremendously increased by the pottcring work of the most pathetically inefficient Ministry of Labor this country has known. The appointment by that Ministry of s board of conciliation wss s. feeble, but pstfl, dilafory

device which, the Government ought to have known, was certain to make a bad case worse. No scheme could have been more harc-braincd thsn the nomination of a special committee to discover whether the War Labor Board, from whose findings there was no appeal, was right or wrong in the judgment it had previously rend- ered on the question of steelworkers’ wage rates. In that direction lay confusion ivorse‘ confound‘ ed. For when such a special investigation had been granted the workers of one occupation, on what possible grounds, in reason or equity, could s similar concession be denied the work- crs of any other important occupation in Canada? The logical and ghastly result would be one conciliation board after another being commissioned to ascertain whether this wage triburiaL-onc of our permanent wartime bur-

caus,—-kncw its stuff and was functioning properly.

It is now the Government's task to get all the > steel plants into operation as soon

as possible. It is not immediately apparent how this dangerous situation can be cleaned up, but s way out must be found, and it is the Federal I Labor Ministiys duty to find it without iany further avoidable delay.
