Varj-| ous reasons may be advanced for this | | satisfactory state of affairs. For one | | thing there is no doubt that the | [labor conference of last September, | | with its get-together spirit, exerted a | | most favorable influence. For an-| | other, the outcome of the Winnipeg | | strike and similar attempts elsewhere | to suovert. local authorily showed | the more radical element in labor's | | ranks that thers was a point beyond | which It was impossible to carry | | popular sympathy and support. This | feature, it might be pointed out, has | been emphasized by the recent civic | elections in Winnipeg, Edmonton, | Medicine Hat and other western cit I {es where the vote of the people went | strongly in favor of citizen candi | dates. Perhaps more significant, | | however, than any other influence | | tor Industriel peace has been the at- | | titude of the representatives of inter | national unionism in Canada. | These men realized the menace of | the One Big Union movement and, | thing measures to thwart its pro- | gress, naturally aligned themselves | with those forces which sought to | preserve the existing system. But 10 | { matter what the cuss of ft, the facts are that Canadian industry is | | progressing fairly smeotily at the | | present time so far as smployment | | relations are concerned and uem- : y . | ployment will net be a serious factor i ™ {this winter except in cases where it " aay be described us voluntary | been pronounced expansion in in!

There has Brit- Ish Columbia as weil and there, it | is Interesting to note, manufacturing | for export has become an important factor. So much so, that the Cana- dima' Government Merchant Marine have deen induced to inaugurate a direct service to Australia and New Zealand from Paeifle cost ports and will supplement this with a service to South Africae and services to both America. 'Ten 8,100 ton steamors, buflt in the shipyards of British Co- lumbia, will be placed=on these runs. Of course much of the freight will be derived from inland sources, but not A small part will come from the saw mills, paper mills and factories of the coast province itself. In this conmection it wHI be of in- | terest to note some of the new en- terprises being started at the present time in British Columbia. There is, for example, the Gregory Tire and Rubber Company, a branch of the in- dustry at Tacoma, who are erecting @ large plant at Port Coluitlam, near Vancouver, in which they will manu- facture automobile tires. Then there Is the Canada Western Cordage Oom- pany, who have received a govern- ment subsidy and are erecting a fac- tory in New Westminster for the The Westminster Furniture Company are also locating at New Westminster and will manufacture a product to com- pete with eastern importations. The Barrett Company, Limited, are the well-known manufacturers of roofing and paving materials, and are placing a branch plant just outside Vancou- ver to care for western business, L'Afr Liquide Society, manufacturers of compressed gas, who have a chain of plants across Canada, are completing the series with a branoh | In Vancouver. The Aetna Saw Works, Limited, are another com. |----~--- pany to locate in Vancouver. But be- | z sides these new factories, enlarge- | ments of existing plants are droceed- | ing. The Whalen Pulp and Paper bd Mills are enlarging thelr refinery at | a, pV Loco, and the Cut-to-Fit Buildings | | Company, New Westminster, are add | X & ing to their factory. In' addition, | RX quite 4 number of new saw mills are } ay being erected throughout the pro- vince. | \ The recent slump in the exchange | ALS rate on the pound sterling might be | 730 regarded, superficially at least, as | glvirg a serious set back to Canada's | oy v . Hil 200 export ambitions. With the pound at such a heavy discount as at present British importations might quite readily bé expected to fall off very | of the Canadian exporter. However, | the exchange situation is not alto- | gether the determining factor. | Just as the United States consu- mer, in spite of the abnormal decline in the value of the Canadian dollar, | is forced to buy a heavy tonnage of | newsprint from this country because domestic mills cannot meét the de- mand, so the Britieh consumer of many commodities will be compelled to buy overseas products hecause of shortage at home. So long as Great Britain is short of goods there will be no cessation of shipments from the Dominion to the British Isles and it will be the British Importer who will have to pay the nalty of the depreciated currency. Even when/the British supplies improve, it will be a quastion whether Canadian goods will not hold thelr own in that mar- ket because casts of manufacture are | steadily turning in favor of the Do- minion. Of course in commodities whers the supply is more adequaie at the present time the Canadian ex- porter will probably be driven from the market but the number of such commodities {s Iimited,~Bongard, Ryarsdn & Co.
