TUESDAY, MAY 4, 1948 CCL Seeks Amendment To BNA Act to Allow For Model By JOHN LEBLANC Canadian Press Staff Writer Ottawa, May 4.--(CP)--The Ca- nadian Congress of Labor today proposed amending the British North America Act to enable the federal government to take juris- diction over industrial relations in all Canadian industry through its proposed labor code. In a brief sharply critical of the code as it now stands, 'the Con- gress contended it would mot bring about uniformity in labor legisla- tion under the existing constitu- tional set-up. This was a major 'goal of the government in creating the legislation. The brief -- submitted to the Commons - Industrial Relations Committee, which is considering the code -- claimed the best way of gaining uniformity would be to amend the B.N.A. Act to include labor relations in its section 95. This would have the effect of allowing the province to continue to legislate in that field, but only to the extent that they did not con travane any dominion statute. The net result, said the Congress, would be that the dominion, through its code, would set mini- mum standards that must be fol- lower nerally, while each prov- ince be free to experiment in advanced legislation, . The code, which has received sec- ond reading in the Commons, now applies only to such inter-provin- cial industry as railways, and communications, Provision is made for extending it into other fields, but only where provinces- pass legislation to trans- fer jurisdiction to the dominion. The Labor Department also ho it will serve as a model for labor laws under provincial juris- diction, Ontario, Manitoba and Nova Scotia have adopted similar legislation and New Brunswick may do so. Three Systems But the Congress declared this | still left the three main industrial provinces -- Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia -- with different systems, with three other systems operating in Saskatchewan, Alberta and Prince Edward Island. Therefore, it declared, Canada was -'3ft without the means of dealing with nation-wide indus- trial ¢'sputes concerning Canada as a whole. "Nation-wide industrial disputes in basic industries," it sad, "might paralyze the whole industrial life of the country, yet the nation's government would be powerless to intervene, A great national emer- gency would have to be dealt with by . . . perhaps seven or eight pro- "vincial governments, under varying legislation, with the national gov- ernment a helpless spectator." The 6,500-word brief, signed by C.CL, President A. R. Mosher and Pat Conroy, criticized other aspects of the code. While conceding that in some respects it was an improve- ment over the wartime labor regu- lations, the Congress said in many others it was unfavorable to labor. In this, it took the opposite view of the Trades and Labor Corigress of Canada, the other big national labor body. Percy Bengough, TL. C. President, wrote the committee last week commending the code generally. Lists 30 Complaints The Canadian Congress of Labor listed more than 30 specific com- plaints. Some of the chief objections: 1. National Harbors Board em- ployees were omitted from the code and that the government could "nullify the whole act" by exclud- ing crown companies or any other group of employers or employees, 2, The section dealing with in- dustry-wide bargaining gave a single employer power to veto a general bargaining plan. 3. The cooling-off period before a strike vote could be taken was too long, despite some reduction from the time set in last year's original draft bill, 4. The provision dealing with the enforcement of collective bar- gaining was too weak. 5. The code made no provision for writing "union security" into collective agreements, 6. Sections dealing with unfair practices by employers did not cov- er enough ground. The Congress recommended tightening. 7. The Congress described as "unnecessarily restrictive" the sec- tions declaring unions can obtain Labor Law certification K without a vote only when it shows a majority of work- ers in a bargaining unit are mem- ok . e CCL, c ed e! of industrial unions, asked -- cation of concessions granted craft unions, 9. Provision for the outlawing of company unions" was not strong enough. 10. Revocation of a unions cer- tification when it had lost a major- ity was "most objectionable" It invited " ous" employers to destroy 'a newly-organized group. 11. Employees were forbidden to strike during the term of an agree- ment, but the machinery for settl- ing disputes arising in that period were inadequate. Declares Christ's Coming Very Near 'The King is Coming" was the subject of a splendid address by J. Higgins, of London, at a meeting of the Oshawa Branch, British Is- rael Federation, on Sunday, May 2. The scripture lesson was 17 St. Matt. 1-20, the story of the Trans- figuration. "Let us realize", said the speaker, "that Christ has fulfilled the mis- sion of High Priest, and catch the more glorious vision #f a glorified Christ". The disciples when they saw the Transfiguration, were sore afraid. They were never afraid be- fore, though they had walked and talked with Christ, but the vision of the glorified Christ was too much for them. When Jesus heald the sick child, the disciples asked -why they could not do so, and were told "Because of your unbelief." Now look out on the world todav. It's a pretty sick looking world. We have tried every type of medicine, but we cannot cure it. Why? For the same reason, because of our unbe- lief. We do not believe God. His book contains a plan for the hu- man race. Many centuries ago He made a promise td one man, and made a covenant with him. When Jacob blessed his twelve sons, he told them what would befall them in the last days. (49 Gen. 1.) The sceptre was not to depart from Ju- dah until Shiloh comes. Therefore the Royal line must still be func- tioning somewhere in the world. The last king of Israel, Zedekiah, fad his sons slain, his eyes put out, and died in prison. But he had two daughters who, under the Israel law (27 Num. 8) could inherit. Jeremiah was ccmissioned by God to transplant that throne, which was to be overturned three times. Jeremiah went down into Egypt with the king's daughters, and the biblical story ends there. But an- cient Irish history records the ar- rival in Northern Ireland, about 580 B. C., of a Hebrew prophet, a beautiful princess, Baruch, a scribe, and a wonderful stone. This prin- cess married Heremon, who was crowned king of all Ireland. So the throne was overturned three times; taken by Jeremiah to Ireland, by Fergus to Scotland, and later by James VI to Westminister. There it remains, never to be overturned again, unijl He come whose right it is. On May 12, 1937, King VI was crowned upon the stone of Israel, Jacob's stone. We have found the throne and the stone, the proof of a living covenant-keeping God. On the first Easter morning, when Je- sus joined the two disciples on the road to Emmaus. He told them He would return, There are certain de- finite time-indicators as to when He will come. Why does our time begin definitely at 4,000 B.C.? Cer- tain constellations appear at cer- tain times, then disappear, It is 25826 years before they return to the same position. God has given us an astronomical world to prove He is carrying out His plans on time, The emblems of the twelve tribes are based on the signs of the zodiac. In. 2344 B.C. the date of the flood, Aquaries, the waterboy, was shining down on the scored line of the Great Pyramid. One of the greatest time-indica- tors of the ages was the deliveranle of Jerusalem, in 1017. Another was the sequenre of elevens when the Armistice wag signed on Nov. 11, 1918. God's calendar tells us that was the beginning of the eleventh hour. At midnight, the cry goes out, ONTARIO HOLIDAY upto At the top of Lake Huron, fifty odd miles east of Sault Ste.
