Those with one party residence lines will pay an extra 15 cents a month, others only 10 cents more. Business oneâ€"party lines will jump by 70 cents a month. This does not mearm a great deal to individuals, but amounts to a considerable amount over all, and many municipalities joinâ€" ed to fight the increase. The Bell Company points out that it needs the extra money to keep up its service. The increases are the first since 1952. Both the company and the 36 municipalities in Ontario and Queâ€" bec which oppose the rates rise are talking about an appeal. t is e\;x:nf that the Board of Transport Conmtmissioners are aware of the effect of rising charges on the life _of the community as a whole, and is also aware that companies seeking the rate increases are faced with rising "costs.

But something must obviously be done or the situation will certainly grow worse. Canada is not alone in this respect, but our dependâ€" ence on export trade makes it vitally important that our prices.should not get 160 far out of line with those elseâ€" where or we will be in serious trouble. We have passed the stage when inâ€" creased costs can be easily passed along to consumers. Most companies are â€"making a desperate effort to keep their costs down. Failure to do so means that they cannot sell their goods, and that results in suspended operations in genâ€" eral industry â€"and unemployment. Canâ€" ada is approaching a crisis in employâ€" ment now, with more people looking for work than at any time since the deprCssion, atcording to figures just released by the minister of labor. Part of this may result from bookkeeping changes, but the total is undoubtedly large. agencies are in a difficult position. Prices of the services and products they need are not fixed but their charges are. So they are squeezred. This may mean, as has been pointed out in the case of the railways, that their emâ€" ployees in effect subsidize other memâ€" bers of the communityâ€"which is obâ€" viously unfair. The answer lies, however, not with only the employers but the employees too. It seems a smak thing to have that ceiling replastered, or have that baseâ€" ment finished now. but all these jobs help to keep men working at this seaâ€" son. The men who make, deliver, inâ€" woiee and work with those materials are relying on their fellow workers to have that job done and to "Do It Now." Busy in Summerâ€"slack in Winter has become just a bad habit with many firms. Yeqgr after year they blindly folâ€" low the old routine ‘not stopping to question their own motives or methods, unconscious of the fact that they are contributing to unemployment and conâ€" sequently harming their own business. What adds a touch of the ridiculous to the situation is the fact that seasonal vunemployment is virtually unnecessary. Modern methods in the building trade make it possible to carry on construcâ€" tion in the winter months and many other trades are in the same position. ance. One man in three months can draw aut benefits that will take him 40 years to repay in unemployment inâ€" surance stamps. the overall average wage at only $40, this amounts to $16,000,000 that is not being earned and spent each week.
