Is the eight-hour day in
the interests of .e.1
Canadian Lake Seamen?
— a H
The Canadian Seamen's Union has announced
that it is taking a strike vote • of its members on
the.:. question of an- eight-hour day, - or ' three-
watch system, on Canadian vessels on the Great
Lakes.. For, a - nuinber of years past, certain
Canadian Steamship Companies have had ,conte
tracts with the -Union as • to. conditions of em -
Q r Is the eight-hourr day in a factory, comparable -
to -an eight -flour day aboard ship?
a There is no comparison. A worker in a fac-
tory • is constantly employed. Aboard ship,
firemen are now on an eight-hour day and
other crew members e__njo many periods of
relief and frequentperjod.s ors -Yore -leave, as—
In
s—In most trades the ship is in port from
twenty-five - to fifty percent of her time.
p ,
Q Do wages compare favourably?
A. Yes.. The seaman receives board and lodging
in addition to • his cash wage. Iffilicen§ed
personnel . on regular bulk freighters, for °a
30 -day month including board and lodging,
receive the .equivalent of the following:
Deckhand $143.60 -
CoalPasser .:. e 143.60
Watchman .. 151.10
Fireman ............ :... . 161.10
Oilers• .166.10
r.
Fist Cook Upper Laker 208.60
First, Cook Canaller ..... 198.60
Second =Cook . ....' , .......... 1461-0-
ployment and wages. The current .Agreement
::runs to July . 31st this year. :
It is impossible • in the brief space' of this Ad to -- .-
set forth fully the :Shipowner s' views on this
-question, but the, Shipowners suggest° that, ,the
following questions• and answers be considered
• carefully by members cof the Vnion in reaching
their -decision. .
Q. Is the seaman's life a healthy one?
A. Yes: Lake seamen enjoy conditions of work
which cannot be equalled in factory •employ-
ment. , The -level of physical fitness of lake
seamen compares f avourahly witJ m any other
industry.
•
Q ▪ Would grain continue -to move by Canadian
• lake vessels in the same vohnne if operating
costs and freight rates =care increased?.
A. No. Past experience 'shows that a fraction of
--a cent per bushel will divert grain to Sea-
board through any of the other competitive
routes.
(L, Can the industry provide jobs on a three- • ,watch system? system?
A. The increased costs of a three -watch system
must necessarily reflect themselves in in-
creased
freight rates. Because Lake Ship-
ping, is highly competitive, any such Increase
in rates would - inevitably rest* • in a reduc-
tion of available cargoes. The ,immediate
effect of a three -watch system would be to
markedly reduce the number of jobs ,which
the industry_ could . offer lake seamen.
If the three -watch system means less jobs for Canadian seamen, and lower
wages, why =then . is' this - Alike -vote- called? , Lakes' . ipp g Q mpaVes
ask the members of the Canadian 'Seamen's Union to consider very care-
__ fully, the effects of ,the eight-hour day . upon the availability of jobs and
y ' welfare.‘, For many years. those' Companies having Agree- •
the><r enerai w
g ;.
ments with the Canadian Seamen's Union have negotiated with tkle

Union on a friendly and co-operative basis, and to the advantage of th}e
men., C ada's Lake Shipowners are deeply. conscious of their respon-
sibilities

the glen wll k h i not in their best . interests. ti
