' Let’s talk over the Canadian strike situation. Pardon us it we ap­ pear to 'copy ail our topics of con­ versation from the largei’ and ad­ mittedly better-informed publica­ tions, but the subject in mind on this occasion is one that should be discussed in every Canadian home with the keenest On Thursday, month just past, hundred strikers melting units of the aluminum plant *at Arvida, Quebec, Canada's largest war remained in tion of the noon of the 27th. The men were only dislodg­ ed after a company of soldiers had been called to the scene, and as far as had been ascertained by the end of last week at least,, the strike had been inflamed by outside sources to such an extent that the whole occurrence is viewed by the daily press as an act of sabotage. Whether or not the sabotage was of concentration. July 34th, the a group of three seized the vital factory. The strikers possession of that sec­ plant until the after­ following Sunday, July life to the judgment of the courts: surely th© Canadian workman is’' not afraid to trust a small wage in-j crease to a similar system. And surely there are men in this country . who could be trusted to render un­ tainted justice. Canadians, just bear in mind that' the workmen in the airplane fac-s tories of France were out on strike; only a few days before the war he-; ganl The divine and hard-won rights of the French labor unions were so sacred that Fence fell about the workers' ears because they were making such a fuss over their petty rights that they didn’t hear the; storm outside. Frenchmen are no doubt now wishing that they had the right to eat, let alone to strike for higher wages and shorter hours, ..... , ... y ..; ; USBORNE COUNCIL Usborne Council met op Satur­ day, August Sth, with all members present, Minutes of July IX and July 28 were read and adopted. Correspondence was received from Ontario Department of Health, ask­ ing an , Municipalities to avail intentional, the result was. that thl x’ themselves of diphtheria toxoid for metal hardened in the grbat melt­ ing pots and by the admission of Mf. Howe, the Minister of Muni­ tions and Supply, it will take weeks to get the plant back into maximum production. It seems that the rea­ son for the’delay in clearing out the obstructors was a technicality over jurisdiction, whether the Dominion Government, the Quebec Govern­ ment or the Municipality of Arvida should call out the troops. At one period in the discussion it is, claim­ ed that the Federal Government of­ fered- as an excuse a shortage of sufficient troops to handle the strik­ ers. Isn’t that a lovely slap in .the face for the armed forces? How#in the name of . goodness are they ever going to stand up to the German -army?' And how about the much- talked-of home defence units? Ac­ tually it took only one company of troops-—about a quarter of ■ a bat­ talion—to clean out the plant, The Toronto Globe & Mail states that both the Ottawa and Quebec Houses knew that a strike was likely to oc­ cur some days before it actually took place and did nothing to 'pre­ vent it, or, more truly, did nothing to prevent the damage which re­ sulted. .As a comparison in the time element it is noted that the Can­ adian^ censor withheld'- all official information from the Canadian pub­ lic for six days. There was a lengthy account in\ the daily press on Thursday of last week of the strike at the Kitchener plant of the Dumart Packing Com­ pany. The Mayor of that city, the president of the labor union affect­ ed, the representative of the Govern­ ment concilliation board and the manager of the plant left a meeting] on Wednesday with the statement) that no progress had been made to-) ward a- settlement. Some sources I of information are inclined to blame the company and some the workers, but to Canadians and to' Britishers ‘ the difference is small The fact remains that more than forty Jftitchener workmen who should be producing foodstuffs were landed in jail and that the plant remained at a standstill. These stories are merely, news items to many of us, but it is time they became something more impor­ tant than that. Someone jn this fair Dominion has siinply got to ithink up a remedy for these troubles and think fast at that. Can’t ve realize that every hour lost in‘ a Canadian plant is five times as de­ structive and costly as a bomb drop­ ped in the heart of Toronto? While the workers of Britain are request­ ed to stretch their day from twelve ito thirteen hours, Canadian alumi­ num is hardening in its crucibles; on the same day that English women dud girls are taking their places as mechanics in the Royal Air Force and entering the London fire bri­ gades, the Canadian men who are expected to produce a small share of Britain’s food are fighting with the police on a city street, We do not stand in judgment over the workers and their companies, for all reasonable people can easily re­ cognize the unavoidable frictions in large business concerns, aggra­ vated as .they are by war conditions and rising costs of living. All we ask is that the authorities find some means of settling the disputes and permitting work to Continue at the same time.
