The Calgary Herald, April 12, 1956
The Dominion government is now

unions' "war-chests," by providing
full unemployMent insurance bene-
fits to strikers who down their
tools in support of a majority de-
cision of an arbitration or concilia-

' This latest* bid for • increased
power in the nation is a brainchild
of the Calgary Trades -and Labor
Council, and it will present its de-
mand to the recently-organized
Canadian Labor Congress at a Con-
vention in Toronto later this
month.
It is to he hoped that the nr w
national labor organization—which
now groups together about. a mil-
lion members of the former _Trades
and Labor Congress of Canada and
the Canadian Congress of Labor—
will exercise some wise restraint
in this matter, in keeping with, the
tremendous responsibility It ., as-

Whether or not a company—or. a
labor union, for it'is one of labor's
basic freedoms too— is willing or
able to accept a ruling of an arbi-
tration or a conciliation hoard is
the basic issue at stake in. this
particular case, The ruling of .either
type of labor boards is not legally
binding upon either of the parties,
and indeed it could not be made
So -without interfering with labor's
right to strike or the company's

Say,' in-all cases, that a union is
necessarily neglecting its own in-

also not unknown in labor-manage-
anent negotiations.
The proposal, then, to have the
government authorize the payment
of full benefits under the Unern-
plOyment Insurance Act is clearly
intended to load the dice against
one of the parties to the dispute
by relieving the"union of paying
strike benefits out of its own funds
or by supplementing the union's
allowances to its strikers. •

OLD FRIENDS
REVISITED
Books,, from the point of view of
the average housewife, are pri-
marily objects that take up Space
and haVe to be dusted. If she is
cursed with a book-buying hus-
band, from time to time she has to
deliver an unitimatum, somewhat
as follows: "You mustn't buy any
more books until you've • cleared
some of the , old ones off your
shelves,"
It should he a simple task to ,
meet that order, Any' library is
likely to contain a good many
hooks 'that are outdated or that
the owner has outgrown. Why not
pick them out, send them to a vet-
erans' hospital or a,. church' rum-
mage sale and begin refilling the
vacant shelves with something
better? And it is a simple task
until the harried husband starts to'
perform it. Then it. becomes pain-
ful, if not impossible.
It's eaSy' enough 'to dedide what
hooks must be kept. Ency,clope-
dies, dictionaries, other books of
reference go on the "truist,'"Iist
automatically. Shakespeare and the
Bible belong in, every library, so
they stay, Some technical hooks re-
lating to work or hobbies must be
kept, often because of only a chap-
ter or two. But that decision has
only cleared the decks for action.
One still has to decide what to dis-
card.
How to start? There's "Gone with
the Wind" taking up the space of
three or four pocket-sized books.
Probably one will never want to
read it again. Besides, the author
lifted a good many of her charac-
ters ready-made from "Vanity
Fair" and, as she hadn't created
thein, didn't understand ' thc'm as
Thackeray had, And that reminds
one to look at "Vanity Fair" again,
although it is not slated for dis-
card. Becky Sharp and the Craw-
leys are worth revisiting for an
hour or two surely. •
Then one thinks that it is
strange how fascinating- in books
are the characters one Would•avoid
in real life. In 'the "Old Curiosity
Shop" little Nell and, her grand-
faller can be skipped without loss,
but one cannot dispense with Dan-
iel Quilp, admirable at least for be-

while these musings proceed, to
make their old friend swear, with
Mrs. Micawber, that he will never
desert them.
But revisiting has taken time,
and another 'evening has , gone

beginning has been made. One has
