The council to be created under the Act will comprise seven mem- -bers of the Association, with power to establish rules and rel-- ulatiosis defining the qualifica- tions of membership, setting up s. plumbing code, etc, such rules to be subject to the approval of the Lleutenant-Govornor-in-Council and published in the Royal Gazette. The bill also makes it unlawful for persons to engage in the plumbing and heating trades for others unless registered under the Act, “provided that this does not infringe upon the trade of well- digging and the cpnnection of wells or pumps to existing water systems by well diggers." ~Mr. llughed Complaint Mr. William Hug/hes, Fifth King's, complained that the bill .181“: DUB I'm!

Ho “Nod that the Bill should be carefully ex- amined. but maintained that its principle was sound. He would like to be assured as to whether the Association would give the right to ali_ persons now actively engaged n plumblns to become members. Mr. Hughes said there was an- other angle. Under the Act a man can work for a master plumber for three years, and qualify with- out any technical training, he may only be acting as helper carrying wrenches and other tools in that time. "What is tho good ,of s technical training school at all if it only counts for six months in his apprenticeship training?" he asked. "If by act of this Leg- islature we render the vocational schools practically useless, they might as well close up altogether. Mr, Hughes agreed that the principle of protection to the pilbu lic was sound. "but we must rec- ognize men who are now actively engaged in the trade, otherwise it is a closed shop. Wo should also consider men who are just getting out of the schools. The idea of vocational training schools is that a. man can learn much faster by attending them." Qualified Service Men Hon. GJ-I. Barbour said he had did not give sufficient protection to young men who had taken technical training with some prac-i tical experience, and had invest-‘ ed in plumbing tools and equip- ment and started in business for| themselves. Many or these yonng. men were war veterans. Mr. Keir Clark also took ex- Wlllilm- H9 v- the deletion of the clause requiring e. master plumbing diploma for all persons as ol ‘J and heating contractors. Mr, D14. Mathleson, 5th Queen's, said apparently it was intended to permit those now engaged to he registered, but the wording of e section was not desa- 01a this point. “It looks like a closed shop," Mr. Clerk said. Mr. rum" Phillipe, 2nd Prince, said those who had taken tech. nical training deserved more om. sideration. He instanced the trade 01 Pllilflfllx. The old days when oiasterers served their trade has zone by. Young men with tech- nical training were being turned out quite competent to do the work. Ml‘. 01w.

Now we have the plumbers. Are we going to have a Mr. the Pick and Shovel Asodairion?" Mr. D.L. Mathieeon mused the hill before this House closes for“ some work done by a young man who had taken brick-laying in the vocational school, "Ho built the chimney and fireplace and I didn't like to take a chance on him doing the plastering, but af- terwards I saw a Job done on an- other house by him, and it was a better Job than was done "on mine. What I am afraid of in these years when there is e. great deal of plumbing. plastering and carpentry work to be done, is that we might be interfering with a lot of service men who have qualified themselves by technical courses. compelling them to work for the plumbers’ at very much less than if they were working for then:- eelves." ' Mr. 0.0. Baker. 4th Prince, said he could not see why an Act of this kind was necessary in this Province. In country districts there are part-time plumbers who help out with what e. farmer re- quires. ‘Thls legislation would compel them to engage highly priced men. which might be all right on big oontractbi but not so far as the ordinary farmer was concerned. _.

He agreed, however. that the Bill was not clearly drafted. Ho"! ‘llrlill Bill Mr. Keir Clark moved that the Speaker- take the chair. Hon, Dr. MacMillan said this motion. if carried. would kill the hill, Be thought it too important a matter to dismiss in this man- ner. He approved of the attitude of the Health Minister. He wish- ed to know. however, whet would happen in the case of a farmer who had to install a water system in his blfll. "Would he have to employ e member of this regis- tered Association?” Mr. MacKinnon: "I think so." Dr. McMillan said he did not approve of going that far. Mr. Clark's motion being put. it was defeated on a standing vote. Messrs. Russel and Keir Clark, air. Stewart ‘supported, the mo- on. Mr. Seville said it appeared from the bill that a man would actually have ‘to serve six years before he becnne a master plumbn. ‘it looks as if these, people are gets ting themselves incorporated be- bause they don't like the ’i‘rade Union Act." he added. Mr. Hughes said his position was that no man now engaged in the Plumb is business who had act- ually purchased his equipment and ll doing business should be ex- cluded from enambersihip, also that very serious consideration should be Blvvq to men who have taken a vocational course. With the consent oi the House. Mum. David L. MacKiinnon and Leith Bevin, representing the Plumbers’ Association, were per- mitted to sit in to assist the pro- motes. Asked by Mr. Seville how many years a man would have to be in the plumbing business to qualify under thp Act, Mr. hiiacKlnnon said e. lifetime was required ‘to learn the business. There were over 97,000 different fittings, and it took a long time even to learn what those fittings were for. When a man has served his apprentice- ship he cannot go on a Job unless he l.s a certified Journeyman. Af- ter he has served three years he must take an examination to qualify; then he must serve three years as a journeyman before qualifying as a. master plumber. In his opinion a man should have ten years experience before being accepted in the latter category. Premier Jonas’ Conunents Premier Jones said it would seem from this hill that plumbing was a vuy difficult trade. The examiners are appointed by the council of the Association and‘ he wondered if the bill was not giv- lng them too much authority. In the case of electricians the Gov- ernment looks softer the situation by providing an assistant to the TOP ROW-LEFT TO RIGHT: llandrehan; Sadie Mellon-is. "I never corssldered that plumb- ing was such a hizhly i-Bfihnlllfll thing," Premier Jones added. "We do a little plumbing on t-he farm and we intend to do it. Ii.’ we arc not able to under this Act we will do it Just the same and 1 will be looking for an amendment to it next year." - Mr. Hughes; "Perhaps I misun- derstood the Premier's rurnarks. but my understanding is that even ii the bill passes, he doesn't intend to follow it; he intends to do his own plumbing regardless oi what the Act says. That coming from trho Premier of this Province is igolng pretty far." (Laughter). Premier Jones: "You have your own tools and you are solos to do your own repairs. Do you think l would be tied up in the storm with my plumbing out of order, and 1 wanted to do it myself?" Mr. Cox: "Surely a little work around the farm is allowed." Mr. Phillip Maihcson: “You can't do it according to Section l1." Definition Needed- Mr. Hughes suggested that what was needed was a definition of the word plnrnblng. It was not con- tained in the bill. Mr. F20. Ramsay said that if a farmer got his own work dGlle and it was not satisfactory he was himself the loser. He recalled having some work done by a. man whose job proved so unsatisfact- the Junior memiber for Char- lottetown (Mr. Mathieson) that the Act was necessary for the pro- tection of the public.

Mr. Large: “it is suggest- ed that this Act should apply only to the lIlCOTPOPQlBd towns." Mr. Bevin said it was not the intention to prevent people in the country from doing work for themselves. Similar acts. he said. were in force in all other Provin- ces. Mr. John MncLesn suggested that the Act should apply only to Charlottetown and Summerside. Hon.
