THE REASONING PECULIAR
'When•the history of ,our century
is written two hundred years hence,
one of its most unaccountable fea-
tures will be the changes wronght in
daily living by the labor Al 011 move-
ment. It will, in all probability, be
difficult for a more •enlightened
society to understand how a eont.
partitively small group of unions
was able to dictate to entire nations
and government s,
At the present moment we are
faced with two strange spectacles.
P.ight here in Canada the employees
of the Canadian Pacific Railway
may walk off their jobs within the
next tWo weeks because of a dispute
which has been in progress for more
than a year. The railway wants to
remove firemen from yard and
freight trains which are powered by
diesel. locomotives , . the firemen
being; in these cases, merely extra
baggage.
A royal commission spent months
delving into the qnestion and decid.
e,d. that the firemen are, in truth, un-
necessary. Despite that , decision
the 'railway onion is apparently de-
termined to gd ahead with a strike
which will cost not only their own
membership, but the general palie
and the railway millions of dollars a
Month.
All this in the face of a complete-
ly legal decision by a royal commis-
sion. If a jobless kid walks into a
gr9cery store and forces the man be-

bring any more fish into the creel

Another aspect we like is the
frequency with which we find fath-

forays along the same streams. Any,
activity which tends to tighten fam-

American anion bass, that the labor
groups not demand new con-
tracts for three months with the car
manufaetnrers, but one of the con-
ditions of the delay be that the
price of cars be reduced, lIe a.dmits
quite freely, however, that When the
Contracts are negotiated there will
be a .demand for higher wage rates
and quite possiht,y for shorter hours,
If these demands are justified
there is one conehtsibn •to draw—
that the manufactinrers are making
too much profit. And there are many
people who believe that the same

of an official •statement credited

the past sin years, through 1950,
'more than 125,000,000 'bushels of
breadgrain, mostly from North
