PAGE EId~HT THEI CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANVILLE, ONTABIO THURSDAY, JAN. lTth, 1946 E. A. Jones Ebctsd Vice-President of District Labor Council At the January meeting of the Oshawa and District Labor Coun- cil held in Oshawa, Jan. 8, James J. Cullen, a member of the exe- cutive board during the past year, was elected president of the coun- cil for 1946, succeeding W. R. Cambers whose activities in the United Electrical, Radio and Ma- chi ne Workers union take him to Toronto. E. A. Jones, Bowman- Ville, was elected vice-president and M. J. Fenwick was re-elected secretary-treasurer by acclama- tion. In retiring from the Council, Mr. Cambers declared that 1946 would be a year of challenge and opportunity for trade unionists and he urged that the members of the movement must concen- trate on one prime objective-a better world for the masses of the people. "Opposing forces seem bent on certain things, namely forcing us back ta pre-war conditions we hope neyer to see repeated," he said, "Our greatest weapon, I be- lieve, is unity. More and more we will have to follow the example of the armed forces and set aside race, creed, color,. politics, con- centrating on one prime objective -a better world for the masses of the people." W. E. Noble, last year's vice- president, who is also retiring from the council this year, pre- sented Mr. Cambers with a token of the council's appreciation for his work in the trade union move- ment during his stay in this dis- trict.

Present good prices for major farm products should hast at least a year, and possibly two or three,i a group of informed observers told The Financial Post. Some were1 cautious and limited their obser-i vations to the present year, but « the majority estimated good re-j turns for at least two crops. Much depends on world stability and1 big recovery of world trade, most « of them cautioned, but they al agreed that the world is short of food, especially wheat and meat.

Obituary JOHN SNOWDEN John Snowden,-farmer, of Ma- ple Grave, died in Bowmanville Hospital, Jan. 2, 1946, after a brief- illness following a period of fail- ing health. His passing marked the first break in a family of six sons and one daughter born to the late Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Snowden of Darlington. The de- ceased was in his 84th year. The Snowdens were a pioneer family of the Maple Grave dis- trict, none more greatly respect- ed, few adhering more faithfully ta high citizenship, all imbued with Christian principles and life- long affiliation with church work. John Snowden had no peer in pursuing a course in active farm management and community loy- alty and his every act was in ac- cardance with the teachings of his parents and the church ta which he gave his fullest in this life. He is indeed mourned by a wide cir- dle thraughout Darlington. Until his recent illness he was a lifelong worker in Maple Grave United Church and an Elder for several decades. The floral tokens and the funeral sermon told vol- umes of the high regard he, had earned during his fine career. Predeceased by his wife in 1941, the father received every care of his daughters, Pearl, Mrs. Lau Hackin, and Gladys, Mrs. Richard Trimble who mourn his passing, together with his sister, Mary, Mrs. John Sanders, Bowmanville, and his brothers, Thomas, Sam- uel, Richard, William and Charles, and six grandchildren, five great- grandchildren. The funeral was held from the family residence, Jan. 5, with his pastar, Rev. H. C. Linstead offici- ating, prior ta burial in the fam- îily plot, Bowmanville cemetery, amidst a profusion of flowers. The bearers were Foster, Ronald, Eber and Lloyd Snowden, Ross Tren- CKEY 580 8 p.m. CJBC 1010 8Sp.m. Mrs. H. W. Jewefl, Botvmanville ---Mrs. Charles Reesor and Mrs. G.

They must be pravided with suitable jobs., Naturally, job preference and seni- ority enter the picture when we talk of providing work for aur returned men and women. As a veterans' or- ganization, the Canadian Legion has had something ta say about seniority and how unions should adjust it ta benefit the veteran. It has even hint- ed that veterans should'have an aver- ail preference regardless of seniority. Need Full Emnployment The Canadian Congress of Labor, aur parent body, is interested in the welfare of the veterans and has taken steps ta make their return ta employ- ment as easy as passible. But it recag- nizes that unless there is full employ- ment there will be veterans and civili- ans walking the streets unemployed. It has stressed ta the federal govern- ment the fact that it bas the respansi- bility of creating full employment in the national interest. The Cangress has urged and is still demanding that the government apply its war experi- ence ta peacetime production. Seniority For Soldiers It bas recommended ta its affiliated unions that ex-members of the armed forces who were previously employed in a plant or industry, and who return- ed ta it, be entitled ta preference of employment on the basis of seniority accumulated during their period of service and of any subsequent training taken by them. It further suggested that s0 far as passible such employees should be afforded the saine rights with respect ta promotion as they would have enjoyed if they had re- mained in the plant or industry con- cerned. With regard ta former members of the armed forces who, within sixc months of the date of their diseharge or the completion of any subsequent training, obtained employment in in- dustry for the first time, the Congress recommended that they be granted seniority on the same basis as if they had been employed in the industry at the time they entered the service. At that tirne also, the Congress emphasi- zed that seniority on what might be temporary employment gave littie or no protection ta an employee, and that this could only be abtained by provid- ing full employment for ail available workers, thus avoiding a competitive struggle between veterans and dis- placed civilians for an inadequate num- ber of jobs. Conadian Legion Requosi The request of the Canadian Legion for an "open door f or veterans ta se- cure employment in unionized indus- try without disturbing any basic gain made by labor during the war years," together with its commenit on the en- deavor of the Employment Service ta maintain a preference in referring vet- erans ta employers, would indicate that it desires an open preference for veter- a.s over civilian workers whenever va- cancies occur, even in cases where ci- vilian workers have seniority rights through former employment in the plant or industry. The Congress cannot' agree that such a proposai is valid or reasonable. Seniority is one of the most vital prin- ciples of the labor movement. It is of basic importance in determining pro- motion and also in determining the or- der of lay-off s, if and when such be- came necessary. Comorment Responsible The Congress believes that the pa- licy outlined above with regard ta vet- erans' seniority is fair ta bath veterans and civilians, and it again urges in the strongest passible terms that the re- sponsibility for the provision of em- ployment for every able-badied worker be laid directly at the door of the gov- ernment. The Congress further renews the of- fer which bas been made an many oc- casions in the past ta co-operate with veterans' arganizations and ahl other groups in demanding that the govern- ment take whatever steps are neces- sary ta operate industry in such a mnanner as ta provide employment and adequate incarnes for every Canadian worker. one which should be read by a gen- eratian in search ai a workable un- derstanding af human psychalogy.
