Mr. Fulton and the justice de- partment were prepared, Mr. {De Young said, "to study pro- posed plans put forth by indus- try for the rationalization of productive facilities and to ad- vise on their position with re- spect to combines legislation." When asked what "rationaliz- ation of productive facilities" meant, Mr. De Young turned reporters' questions over to Mr. Taylor. "What the manufacturers would like to do is arrange among ourselves so that fewer of us would concentrate on one product, and bring costs down," Mr. Taylor said. Mayor S. L. Buckwold of Sa- skatoon said the council was not seeking any change in the com- bines legislation, and Mr. De Young emphasized that the pur- pose of the Productivity Coun- cil is to encourage competive- ness in the Canadian economy. The National Council, Mr. De | Young said, will work with pro- vincial productivity councils and any other interested groups in disseminating research infor- mation to industry, expediting the formation of labor - man- agement committees, promoting labor force training and re- training, and training instruc- tors in the techniques of method improvement. The 25 members representing labor, primary and secondary industry appointed G.
