Feb. 21/57 We have had sittings of the Stand. ing Committee on Industrial Rela- tions, of which I have been a mem- ber since 1952. The purpose of the convening of this Committee at this time is to discuss certain aspects of the Unemployment Insurance Act as it applied to the recent railway strike, in which the engineers were excluded from the benefits of this Act. The Committee is helpless in this case to render any decisions, since the whole matter of some 2800 engineers is now before the Appeal Board, who are ex- pected to render a decision which wil) act as a precedent for any future in- stances which would come under the same category. It is the intention of the Committe to hear representations by Members of Parliament regarding delays in be- nefit claims, and to endeavour to eli- minate the difficulties which have agisen in the past in the variosu re. gional offices throughout Canada. Mr. Gregg, the Minister of Labour, issued .a statement recently in the House of Commons in-regard to the employment situation in the country generally this winter. This statement was the result of a question posed to him by a member of the Conservative Party. In his statement he pointed McEACHERN HAT SHOPPE New Spring Hats, Gloves, Leather Bags and Coro Jewellery a a EE aa YAN ii i A A Bn out that at January 19th, 1857, the number of persons with jobs was esti- mated at 5,393,000, which represents 162,000 less than were employed in the middle of December, but still 162, 000 more than in January a year ago. Persons without jobs and seeking work rose to an estimated 308,000, an in- crease of some 17,000 from January a year ago. He claims that the in- crease this January over January of last year 'comes primarily from such seasonal industries as construction, lumbering, logging and transporta- tion. Contributing to this unemploy- ment were bad weather, and the ef- fects of the C.P.R. strike. lo "offset this, he stated that he wished to acknowledge and commend the vigorous and co-ordinated efforts now under way in many localities ac- ross Canada to increase winter em- ployment opportunities. Without these efforts to steady employment, this winter's unemployment figures would be much higher than they are. Quite recently John Diefenbaker, the Leader of the Progressive-Conser- vative Party, stated that, if elected to form the next Government, he will enact legislation to increase and ex- tend Unemployment Insurance bene. fits, revise conciliation procedures, "and promote uniform federal-provin- ! cial labour legislation. or of A -- SR AE Nr o 2 Wise!

He believes that labour is entitled to adequate representation in all government deal- ings in which labour has an interest, and, that all national labour legisla- tion should be reviewed with certain things in mind, s¥ch as co-operation with the Provinces to promote uni- formity of lahour legislation' and, where 'labour-management difficulties are encountered in interprovincial in- dustries, to endeavour to bring such industries under a central jurisdiction, Legislatian should be enacted to pro- vide minimum wages, hours of labour, and vacation with pay for all workers under federal jurisdiction. Fair wages and hours legislation should be overhauled so that it will govern min- imum wages and working conditions in all federal government contracts, direct and indirect, and all federal government works and services. Within the past few days the Inter- provincial Fatm Union Council made a submission to the Government of Canada in the form of a brief. In this brief they stressed the difficult position that farm people have occu- pied in the past few years. They asked the Government to enact cer- tain legislation in order to better the lot of the farmer. Among their recommendations was one that Unemployment Insurance be made available to farm help. They pointed out that the farm labour for- ce had decreased from 1,066,000 in 1945 to 698,000 in November, 1956, Because of this situation the farmer finds it practically. impossible to ob- tain hired help. District Churches SCUGOG PASTORAL CHARGE We are glad that our people are reading our church news column. For there were so many enquiries when it did not appear recently. The Weekly Paper is a wonderful means of giving information, and stimulat- ing interest in "the doings of the Church. And from time to time, we must express our gratitude for this medium of communication. Our weekly papers are fulfilling a very | worthy vocation in the "life of the nation, Our Elders met last Friday in the Scugog Head Church with a very good attendance. The Session confirmed the appointment of our Counsellors for our Young People. They panned for the giving of religious instruction for Church Membership. At a meet- ing of the Young People's Counsellors and Officers, it was agreed to incor- porate thirty minutes of Bible Study and Discussion in the meetings of our P.M.S. Hi C. Club. Also provision was made for three suppers on Sunday evenings at 5 p.m. for our Young People, with a service after at 7.00 p.m. to which the parents and .others interested may come. The matter of a mid-week service for the pastoral charge was discussed. It is hoped that all our Churches will make - use of the opportunities now available. Once a month in some of our churches we have a Supper for the community. The hope is, that at the conclusion of the meal, we would all assemble in the auditorium of the church for an hour of prayer and praise. If our.four W.A."s would give this-their support, three things would happen namely: the organizations would be making some money; our congregations would meet on a week day for fellowship; and the Word of God would be spoken. Prospect thought that it would be more con- "| venient to have a dinner at noon in- stead of supper in the evening. The Session is there to give ideas and lead- ership, and the organizations can work out the details." The Session also ap- pointed Ethel Franklin, Harley John- son, Alan Martyn and Donald Lane as Leaders of Boys Work, with the way open to add to their numbers. Thanks to Murray Croxall and David Hobbs for a lovely vocal duet on Sun- day. . io "WIITEE WILLE" THERE 15 #0 8) WELL FILLED PURSE...
