to participate hi its successful prosecution through its representa tives it gave an unequivocal promlseof one hundred per cent cooperation in order that its effort would be success ful and would not be thwarted by a few irresponsible andjefiisguided indi viduals it asked that the industrial disputes investigation act be extended to cover all wartime industries in addition the accredited representatives of labor have been most diligent and moat helpful in an endeavor to iron out grievances and disputes which in less serious times might have resulted in friction and loss of time and energy through industrial strife it is perhaps too much to hope that there will not be sporadic and local labor disturbances created by the agi tation of those who do not really re present labor ut merely themselves and who leel that their existence will be tor gotten unless they can produce cme local strife but the possible act of a lew disturbing elements should not make us unmindful of the unan imity with which the canadian peo ple have engaged in the prosecution of the war and one of the reasons for this heartening unanimity is the splen- alct altltuui of labor generally in view of the cooperative attitude of labor generally it would be doubly unfortunate if any attempt were made under the guise of the necessitaes of war to eliminate or reduce those ad vantages whether in wages in hours of labor or in the general standard of living which have acrued to cana dian labor during the present century i have no doubt that this will not happen but it- must be admitted that just as labor has its irresponsible agi tators so there are still some i trust a very few employers who begrudge each advance which has been made in bettering the condltujiwof work and living of those who wluh their families depend upon wages for their dally bread both attitudes are equally ini mical to canadas war effort it is only fair to say that even with out our national emergency there was a growing realization and appreciation ot the importance of the belief that industrial life shouhnot bea contin uous struggle between capital and la bor and that a frank and complete the best for both and essential in the maintenance of our industrial struc ture this has best been demonstrat ed by the wide extension of industrial agreements including voluntary plans ior cooperation such as
