there is the danger that the entire

WHO'S SO STUPID?
There are many forms of snob-
bery in this world—fortunately most
ofthern being of the faintly amusing
variety. Recently we ran across one
brand which has become increasingly
,cominon in Canada since the influx
of so many immigrants has • taken
place..
A young European mechanic was
at work in our office, servicing one
piece of equipment, and the conver-
SatOn turned to the quality of work-
manship which is prevalent • in Can-
44. The young fellow was right„to
some degree, in his assertion that
uropean technicians are better
rained and much more conscientious
than their Canadian counterparts.
However, when we suggested that
SUper-high quality has its place and
:that on some occasions it can be un-
necessary—like taking your cut-
„glass to a picnic—we were scorned as
Stupid. . . ignorant of the finer
things in:life.
Later the mechanic mentioned
seine of his difficulties in reaching
Wingham from. Toronto, a trip
which had taken four and a half
,iours because he had chosen a ratite
which took him through. Hamilton

to get here, Enquiring why-he had
-come by such a round-about path we
were informed that this was the
firSt time he had travelled in-West-

Apparently reference ,to a road
map was never thought of.: By thiS
'stage, of course, we are -feeling a bit
snobbish about our ability to get
from one place to another 'Without

Any notion that the notorious
boss of 'the Teamsters' International
Union, James Hoffa, has abandoned
' his 'dream of a colossal labor monop-
oly •of all transport workers, should
be dispelled by word that the Team-
stets plan to act as 'a "coordinator
and neutral third party" between
employers and dockworkers' unions
on both the east and west coasts of
the U.S. Vurther ,evidence that
Hoffa's ambition to establish a vast
labor combine is 'meeting with some
.success comes from Hawaii, where
the Teamsters and the West Coast
Longshoremen's 'Union, run by
Harry'Bridges, plan to "coordinate"
their organizing activity.
What makes Hoffa's ambitions
frightening is the fact that in Can-
ada as• well as in the U S
obstacles stand in his way. Like
other union bosses, Mr, Iloffa does-
n't have to give a thought to the
pOsSibility of being in trouble, for
the. simple reason that unions enjoy
complete immunity from the effect
of tatisting anti-combines legislation.
It Is a tragic paradox that union
leaders of the AVL-CIO, who have
seen fit to expel Hoffes Tearnsters
from the respectable society of or-
ganited labor in the U S, should
'themselves resist legislative changes
aimed at curbing union monopoly
