2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Fridty, February 19, 1965 Increased Hourly Wage Rejected OTTAWA (CP)-.-A bid by the New Democratic Party to write a@ $1.50 hourly minimum wage into the federal labor code was by by a wide margin in Commons Thursday night. The code would establish a thinimum wage of $1.25 hourly in the handful of industries that come under federal jurisdiction. Six Conservatives, including former labor minister Michael Starr, joined with the Liberals in voting down the $1.50 amend- ment proposed by Stanley Knowles (NDP -- Winnipeg North Centre). The standing vote was 84 to 27. Labor Minister MacEachen noted that the $1.25 rate is the most advanced on the North American continent, well ahead of provincial wage minimums and even exceeding that of the United States. Although the U.S. rate was $1.25 it was only pro- visional and not yet in effect on a national basis. He said the government had been confronted by pressure groups opposing even the $1.25 rate but had resisted them. WANT TARGET The idea was to set a target for the provinces, which control wage laws governing the bulk of industry. When they attained it, the federal government could again move ahead in this field. Mr. MacEachen quoted sam- ples of provincial minimum wage laws--$34 a week in Al- berta cities, $36 a week in Sas- katchewan and $1 hourly in the Toronto - Oshawa - Hamilton industrial region. The Alberta and Saskatchewan rates were based on 44-hour work weeks. Federal imposition of a $1.50 rate would cause "adverse em- ployment consequences and ad- verse industry consequences so that, instead of making the pace} of change more rapid, we would be making it more diffi- cult in the future to establish standards." Mr. Knowles argued that $1.25 an hour is below the rec- ognized line separating poverty and subsistence levels. He said $1.50 is a "'reasonable" figure, one advocated by the Cana- dian Labor Congress as an ab- solute minimum for working men. Eldon Woolliams (PC -- Bow River) backed the Knowles amendment and got into a hot exchange with Liberal back- benchers who said he had helped scuttle NDP minimum wage bills during the Conserva- tive regime. SAYS WAGES FROZEN He said the labor code freezes wages by its rigid con- trol of hours of work. This would force workers to resort to moonlighting--taking <a second Another NDP amendment, moved by Tom Barnett (Comox-Alberni), sought to re- vise a clause in the bill that would let firms seek permis- sion of the minister for hours beyond the 40-hour weekly max- ng and eight hours of over- e He proposed that such appli- cations be made jointly by em- Mr. MacEachen said his de- fare of the worker when study- ing such applications, He op- it would put unnecessary re- strictions on this section, The amendment motion was turned down, 79 to 52. QUOTES HOWE Middlesex West), quoted the late C. D, Howe, then Liberal trade minister, as stating re- peatedly in 1950 that eastern feed mills would not be brought under federal an amendment to the Canada |Grain Act then being debated. He argued it is wrong to con- tend that local feed mills come under federal law. Labor Minister MacEachen said Mr. Howe has been ac- cused of many things '"'but he has never been accused of be- ing a constitutional authority." | Expert opinion held that the jamendment of 1950 brought lo- cal feed mills under federal jurisdiction, INCLUDED MILLS | Mr. MacKachen also pointed out that the Conservatives themselves, when in power, had included local feed mills when they passed an act estab- lishing minimum annual vaca- tions. There had been no sug- gestion then that these mills shouldn't be covered. If the local mills were left out of labor code coverage it would leave this entire field beyond legal control in the mat- ter of labor standards. Provin- cial laws wouldn't apply, either. Mr. MacEachen said it would be a good thing for rural wage standards to apply the min- imum wage to feed mills. If the wage section would result in some hardship for mill own- ers it could be deferred for up to 18 months. An amendment was passed to allow exceptions to the code's rule of one day's rest in workers, notably lake sailors, must of necessity work longer than seven days.

The march started quietly Thursday night .at the Zion Methodist Church, About 500 demonstrators left the church and headed for the jail to protest the arrest of one of their leaders, James Orange. Police told them to disperse. "We stood there a little while and turned around," said Albert Turner, president of the Perry County Civil League. '"'One of the ministers in the group started praying. Bu that time state troopers had arrived." He said the troopers "started pushing the crowd back toward the church, but our people couldn't get in the door because it was jammed.

(CP)-- An extensive hunt is under way for a man who shot a provin- cial police constable in the arm during a routine check early today. Constable Wayne Stairs, 24, of the Oakville detachment, stopped a car on the Queen Elizabeth Way near Burlington, just outside Hamilton, because the car's rear licence plate was missing. ' When he tried to question the three men in the car, one of them shot him, As the car sped off, Const. Stairs fired three shots at it and thinks he hit it twice. He told the detachment on his radio that he had been shot and then drove himself to hospital. He was released after treat- ment and is expected to be off duty for a few days. Police said they are looking for a 1955 or 1956 Pontiac or Chevrolet, green with a white top, with no rear licence plate and possibly two bullet-holes in the trunk. However, no. contributions would be collected. To ask that students between 18--the plan's entry age--and 25 should not be required to make contributions. This would be in addition to the 20 per cent of lowest earning years contributors would be allowed to eliminate from their earn- ings base under the proposed plan, Former Conservative health minister J. Waldo Monteith said all the proposals are sim- ar to those advanced by On- tario, although "they are not quite in line." The Ontario brief also sug- gested that the 10 best years of earnings be used.as a comput- ing base for the pension plan. SUGGEST LONGER PERIOD The Conservativese said they will also suggest that the period it takes for the plan to reach maturity, now 10 years, be ex- tended. No specific time was men- tioned in a statement handed out at the press conference but Mr. Monteith said 20 years would "seem reasonable." The Ontario government also sug- gested 20 years. Quebec originally advocated SOVIET OIL The Soviet Union's production of oil now accounts for one-sixth of the world's total production. a 20-year transitional period, but the reduction to 10 was one of the points won by federal nego- tiators in compromising the federal and Quebec plans.

It suggested the questioning of MP Guv Rou- leau who then was parliamen- tary secretary to Prime Minis- ter Pearson, and of other key persons.
