While it is the purpose oj this Act to provide unproved " conditions for all workers employed in., industry in this Province, it will be obvious that the provisions of the Act cannot be permitted. at this' time, to interfere with the all-out capacity effort required in producing material for war. The Industry and Labour Board, which will administer the Act, therefore, considers, in view of the present acute manpower shortage and the vital demands of war, that the applidation of the Act should be postponed and workintivonditions in force at present should not be arbitrarily changed:, • The. Board' therefore authorizes the continuance of Exist-: • ing Working Hours in all industries operating on priority • War Material in the Province of Ontario. • Industries engaged 'in Agriculture, Horticulture, Fishing and the Produc- tion of Foods and Farm Products; Dairying Industries including cheese and butter; Finns engaged in the building and upkeep of roads, con- struction, transportation, textiles and other undertakings which can be considered essential to the fuli maintenance of the war effort, shall be considered in the category of War Industries insofar as their present working hours are concerned • . • Preparation of the \ groundwork for the operation and application of the Act will go Vrward immediately but the Industry and Labour Board wishes it to be understood that,these preparations will not be permitted to inter- fere in any way with existing working conditions in vital industry as long as the present crisis exists. • 0 11014 CBA3LES DALEY .
