It‘ is believed that he peak has been reached since most of the fishermen filed their claims in December. Local office of- ficials point out however, that more snow storm-s could ad- versely affect the situation and possibly put more men out of work. w ' The very favourable weather which continued into mid-Feb- ruary, was a big factor in keep- ing the number ‘of unemployed people down in the city of Char- lottetown. Prospects for the Spring and Summer look very encourag- ing because of a fairly lively building program. ._ The city of Charlottetown is already as- sured of several large projects, some ofrwh-ich are already un- derway, such as the new naval barracks and the Royal Bank Building. other jobs which are slated to begin later on, are the new Baptist Church on Prince Street and the $1,300,000’ exten- sion to the Prince Edward Is- land Hospital.

Cross Society. store will be erected -in Char- lottetown this summer. The details of this latter undertak- ing have not been released to the public. Of ‘a somewhat different ‘type are the improvements to be made to the Charlottetown Air- port; this job will be started at the earliest possible moment. Under provincial suplett-vision, work will be resumed on the Hillsboro River Bridge and causeway, between Southport and Charlottetown. It is also being predicted that residential building will go for- ward on a larger scale than was the case in'1957. ' - FISHING -INDUSTRY The local National Employ- ment . Office points out that many of -the unemployed are seasonally engaged in the fish- ing industry, in various proces- sing plants, such as the two plants in Souris. These people will not be going back to work until the opening of the fishing season. At that time the fisher- men as well as the workers in the various plants_ -will also commence their yearly activities and the unemployment figures will drop very quickly, as they have done annually in the past. There will also be a -resumption of work on ‘provincial highways and on federal wharves and ‘buildings. Meantime, the ‘National Em- ployment Ofifice isv“still carrying on its annual winter employ- ment campaign with its slogan “Do It Now”. ilt is believed that this‘ campaign had more impact in Charlottetown itself, than in the rest. of Kings and Queens Counties, which comprise the territory under the jurisdiction of the Charlottetown Office. At any rate, the reduction in the number of people drawing Un- employment Insurance benefits in Charlottetown as compared to last year, has encouraged the officials _of the local office, to give the campaign -some credit for this favourable trend in the city.

Page 2 The Guardian Tues., Feb. 25, 1958 Charlottetown Civil Servants Mr. Henry A. Murnaghan, Charlottetown was elected pre- sident of the P.E.I. District Council of the Civil Servants Federation a-t their annual din- ner-meeting held last evening in Sumrnerside and presided over by the retiring president, Mr. Earl Cannon. Mr. Kenneth Green, Ottawa, formerly of Albany, secretary of the National Defence Employ- ees Association was guest spea- ker and during his enlightening address told the gathering of approximately fifty civil ser- vants, that organized civil ser- vants are asking that the gov- ernment establish a system out- side of the provisions of .the Industrial Relations Act, where- by representation of employees and government can sit together and negotiate problems, such as salaries, welfare, working hours, working conditions etc. and to provide. an impartial arbitration tribunal or individual, whose judgement would be final in these cases where negotiations break down. This system is used in all other commonwealth countries. ' Mr. Green. stated that in a recent submission to the govern- ment the federation asked for an eight per cent interim in- Man Heads Federaton crease and said he would stick his neck out and say that there should be some adjustment to classified rates between now and May 1st. The guest speaker also stated that the federation asked the government for equal treatment of prevailing and classified rates regarding work- ing conditions as well as a re- quest that the officials represent- ing those receiving prevailing rates have the right to negotiate with their own department rather than the larger body. Also requested in the submis- sion, said Mr. Green, was that the advisory committee on pre- vailing rates should look into the matter of establishing fair prevailing wage rates. _ The guest speaker was intro- duced by Mr. Robert Be-tton, president of the local N.D.E.A- and thanked by the chairman. Other speakers to address the group were Mir. Sinclair Mac- Leod, provincial vice-president of the district council, Mr. George Cheverie outgoing sec- retary of the council and Mr. Betton. - Other officers elected to the council are: 1st vice-pres, R.
