Modifications in the Trade Union Act passed in the Legislature last March will be introduced at. the next session, Premier J. Walter Jones intimated in an addzess last evening. The requirement for licensing of labor organizations will be modified, and it is likely also that the prohibition nvlth re- spcct to. non residents will be le- penled.

The Premier stated it was never the intention of the Government or Legislature to prevent local lab- or groups from affillating with national or international organiz- ations. "But," he added, “we be- lieve such affiliations should stop short of control."

He defended the restrictive measures passed following the packing plant strike last year.

stating that these had vindicated the rights of the people of this Province. Now that the crisis had passed. it. was felt that modificat- ions could be made, the provisions above mentioned being "not im- portant enough in offset the feel-l ing in some quarters that one; class is being set against anothcrf’: (The ‘Pi-ode Union Act as passecil provides that each trade union inf the Province shall be "autonomonsil that. no action or decision of n1 trade union shall be controlled lay! any other nerso-r o": group of per-I sons and that all tnembers of i‘. shall be employees: also that the 7C0nlinued on Page 5 Col. 3i
