JAMES, Editor. Who Speaks for Canadian Labor? The following editorial, written by Mr. John Atkins, former Ontario Paper Adminis- trator, appeared in the August issue of his jour- nal "'The Scene from Shingwauk Farm," and we consider it worthy of reprinting in these columns: Most Canadians work. They are Canadian Labor. A minority of Canadian workers is or- ganized. This minority cails itself "Canadian Labor" and presumes to speak for ail workers, although it acts, through its various organiza- tions, only for its own members, often at the ex- pense of the unrepresented majority. The unheard majority of Canadian work- ers were flot specially represénted at the hear- ings of the Industrial Relations Committee of the House of Commons. The un-organized workers of Canada cannot be represented in the committee's meetings except by their members of parliament. Equity in industrial relations rests upon clear principles, essential to demnocratie society, which it is the duty of the members of parlia- ruent to express in laws that parliament must uphold against ail lawless elements. When these vital principles are upheld by law, the rights of the otherwise unorganized workers are preserv- ed and they may not desire any other protection. As citizens they are organized in a democratic society and they rightfully expeet their organ- ization, the Parliament of Canada, to protect their rights and to safeguard their freedom. Why should the workers of aanada be obliged to multiply organizations to proteet their liberties? Associations, unions, leagues and sacieties which foster democratic progress, through the education of their members for better citizenship, are constructive but those organizations which use their compact and strategically lacated voting power to alienate, in privileges, the common rîghts of citizens, are the greatest menace to demnocracy. Members of parliament, who represent ail people and wha are the trustees of our common rights and democratic principies, must protect the majority against these predatory minorities or democracy will be lost in Canada, and soan. A Good Shirt Tale In an endeavor to increase short supplies of men's cotton dress shirts, the Civilian Pro- duction Administration in the United States had its experts define what a shirtis. And here is the answer: "Shirts, -as listed here, mean men's shirts (other than work shirts and sport shirts), made in haîf-size neck sizes (but not if made only in fuil-size gradu- ations), and marked accordingly with a but- ton and buttonhole at the collar (except on shirts for use with detachable coliars); with long sleeves (wrist lerigth); and with a min- imum length of 30 inches, measured from the tions is that advertising costs add enormousiy to the cost of living-that the manufacturer's ad- vertising dollar comes directly and painfuliy froru the pocket of the ultimate consumer, from the pay envelope of John Public. The Canadian Weekly Editor, Vancouver, a new magazine pubiished primarily for weekly newspapers in Canada has devoted some con- siderabie research to the questions and has corne up with these enlightening and samnewhat startling figures: "For instance the advertising expenditure on a popular branded line of bar soap which selis for about seven cents a cake is only one fifth of a cent; on a nationaily advertised bed sheet that normally retails for $ 1.95 the cost for advertis- ing is oniy one cent. Then, too, a company seil- ing g widely-known breakfast cereal at 15 cents a package spends oniy three-tenths of one cent per package for advertisiflg the cost on a 12-èent can of saup is oniy one-hundredth of a cent. And when you pause and refresh with a nickel glass of a popular sof t drink, do you realize that the advertisiflg cost is represented in a few drops of the contents? The cost is sa small that it runs inta a five figure fraction of one cent. Many other percentages couid be cited, cov- ering a wide range of advertised products fromn peanuts to automobiles. But these will sufice to point up the truth of the matter." The fact that the producers of nationaily advertised products do appropriate large sums for advertising each year does not belie the fact that the advertising cast for each unit is insignificant. On the other hand the experience of these producers, as borne out by their continuing the advertising appropriation year after year, shows that the increased sales obtained through their advertising dollar actualiy reduces the cost of each individual unit ta the purchaser. Old Time Workers Tell Their Success Stories With the widespread unrest right across the country occasioned by strikes in which labar and management have faiied ta get together, we have found a public reactian that has induced many ta search back inta the past and com- pare conditions then with those of today. There seems increasing concern that the public which is the vitally invoived, outside party in these disputes, ought ta move in some realistic manner ta force a showdown and get factaries running again. At any rate many are studying the wage question as neyer befare in its relation ta ability ta save under present day living costs as cam- pared with normal pre-war years. Without canvassing opinions of aid time workers we have had several cali at The States- man off ice in recerit days ta tell how they gat their start, how they continued on the job, how they raised and educated families, bought homes and paid for them, accepted their responsibil- ities as taxpaying citizens in good times and bad, paid their bis and out of their labor had compiied a competence sufficient for their aid age. In each case the visitar explained that hie had remained with the same firm throughout, the years of service ranging as high as forty or more and each was in excellent heaith. Some went ta work at a dollar a day and saved even at that iow figure. Ail found littie fauit with management that increased wages and gave promotions ta accord with menit and rising living costs. Their success appeared ta be almost soleiy due ta the saving habit. Ail own- ed their homes and ail couid retire tomorraw but they appeared simpiy ta love their work. A few are kept on by management out of a sense of affection and ioyalty. Such was the refreshing pictu're of workmen and manage- ment who recognized responsibilities. Abiiity ta save and to get aiong seemed ta be the key- note in this bit of industriai history. These virtues can be recaptured with profit in these trying times. Livestock Situation Reý'iewed In Canada Packer's Statemnent At the risk of being repetitive we return once more ta the question of the future of aur iivestock industry. We have stressed this sub- ject particuiariy since 50 many farmers of this district look upon The Statesman aimost as an agricuiturai journal. Our chief insistence has been that we ought by ail means to maintain our export position in the bacon trade with Britain that we won and maintained during the late war. None better than farmers themselves realize that this expart bacon trade is basic ta Canadian agriculture yet production has fallen swiftly and ta an alarmîng extent *ring this first year of comparative peace. We always turn with interest ta the annuai statement of Canada Packers which carnies each year a clear statement and a warning in respect of the iivestock business. We quote again the figures and opinions expressed by President J. S. McLean, former Durham county boy. He points out that hog marketings for 1946 are 54 per cent below the high of 1944. At the same time cattie siaughtered for the beef trade rase ta an ail-time high, showing an increase of 109 per cent over 1939. And hie warns what ta ex- pect for the future if this trend continues. Under present contracts and for the long future we have every assurance that we can maintain and increase aur bacon exparts pro- "'Veterans of service with the armed forces have not been responsibie for even the share of crime that couid be attributed ta them on a percentage of population basis," he said. It is possible ta trace back ta the home 99 per cent of the major crime in Canada, Coi. Bunton deciared. This does not always mean poar homes because same criminals carne from prosperous homes. Too much severity by par- ents in some cases, nat enough in others, decep- tion of children by parents, the bad example of low-principled parents and braken homes are the background factors that deveiop young crim- mnals, according ta Col. Bunton. "The home is first, the school second and the church third in the proper upbringing of the young,?" said Col. Bunton. "Home conditions are reflected in schoal conduct and where school conduct is bad there should be investigation of home conditions. Then, toa, there is nat enough church work among yaung chiidren." The Saivation Army prison department has 92 off icers across Canada engaged in full or part- time reclamation work among prisoners. Last year personai work was done with 29,787 of them and more than 2,000 individuais were handed over ta The Salvation Army by courts and prison off iciais. According ta Col. Bunton, 87 per cent of these are now going straight and efforts continue ta reciairu the others.

THE PROVINCE 0F PROMISE...0 ONTARIO'S growing gld ... ber largest cash crop ... is tobacco. Its twenty-year deveopment, from nothing to really- something, bas been due almost entirely to the phenomenol increase in fiue-cured tobacco-the most valuable of the three types grown here. The others are burley and dark-leaf. This year, a fourth type, cigar leaf-one thousand acres of it-opens rich, new Ontario possibilities. Tobacco is a delicate plant and a demanding one, needing utmost watchfulness and even handmýade encouragement during its complicated cure. Its cultivation means back-breaking, short-season wvork with bigh rewards for ail concerned.
