This annual report for the year 1947, being the thirtieth issued by the Department, records a peak year of industrial development within our Province. With the strength and stability of normal progress in industry no longer seriously hampered by problems of reconversion, as in the early post-war years, fulfilment of the promised era of industrial prosperity was rapidly taking effect. The industrial wealth of the Province is reflected in the rising Provincial estimated pay-roll, which in 1947 totalled some $490,000,000, an apparent increase of $57,080,273 over the final estimated total of $432,919,727 for 1946. Heavy demands for primary products, the necessity for increased production, and a rapid growth in population brought large-scale development programmes in the lumber industries, public utilities, and construction industries. Earnings continued their uninterrupted rise throughout the year, with increases recorded in the average in twenty-two of the twenty-five tables in this report. The average weekly industrial wage figure for all male wage-earners rose to $43.49, the highest level yet recorded, and an increase of $3.62 over the preceding year. Twenty-three of the twenty-five tables relating to the industrial group showed increases in the pay-roll totals for 1947. Greatest increase was in the lumber industries (up $30,000,000). With improvement in material supplies, the construction industry moved ahead to exceed all previous pay-roll records (up $17,000,000). Public utilities gained by $8,000,000. For others in order of increase see " Comparison of Pay-rolls " in Report data. Ship-building pay-rolls, which had declined sharply in the post-war years, dropped a further $1,400,000 to constitute the only major decrease recorded. Employment levels, with few exceptions, surpassed all previous records during 1947. Extensive expansion and development programmes brought added employment in the lumber industries, construction, public utilities, and the metal trades. The high monthly employment figure for wage-earners in 1947 was recorded at 153,994 in August of that year, compared with a high of 130,631 in the same month of 1946. Continued decrease was again noted in the average weekly hours of work, which further declined in most industries. The average weekly working-hours for all wage- earners decreased to 42.24 from 43.63 noted for the previous year. STATISTICS OF TRADES AND INDUSTRIES. With extensive peace-time expansion of industry, reorganized to pace the rapid development of the post-war era, and an ever-increasing labour force, the statistical section for 1947 records a year of activity and progress unprecedented in the industrial history of the Province. EMPLOYERS' RETURNS TOTAL 8,410. The total number of firms reporting in time for tabulation in the tables was 8,410, as compared with 7,326 in 1946, an increase of 1,084. J 8 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR. Continued growth in the number of establishments reporting in the survey is largely due to the added coverage of unusual numbers of new industries and business enterprises, coupled with increasing co-operation of employers in reporting separate branches of their business as to industry and location. Inasmuch as many firms file reports in more than one industrial classification, the " number of firms reporting " may be considered as representing the actual number of reports tabulated. PAY-ROLL. The total 1947 pay-roll reported by the 8,410 firms filing returns in time for classification in the tables was $366,197,154. Inasmuch as this total, however, represents a summary of industrial pay-rolls only, it should not be considered as the over-all Provincial pay-roll unless further augmented by additional figures which follow, to show an estimated accumulative total of $490,000,000, an apparent increase of $57,080,273 over final estimates for 1946.

In estimating the Provincial pay-roll total for the current year, consideration is given to the increasing numbers of firms reporting in the industrial section and due allowance made for continued expansion and development in those additional services not included in the coverage of the tables. Revision of preliminary estimated totals is now being made from year to year, based on additional information not available at the time of publication. The percentage distribution of the total pay-roll covering each class of worker included in the survey is shown in the following table:— 1943. 1944. 1945. 1946. 1947.

J 9 COMPARISON OF PAY-ROLLS. With productive capacity in many industries expanding rapidly under the continued stimulus of foreign and domestic demand, pay-roll totals soared to new highs in most instances, registering increases in twenty-three of the twenty-five industrial classifications included in the survey for 1947. Greatest development was recorded in the lumber industries, where pay-rolls increased by $30,405,165 over the previous year, followed by the construction industry, up $17,410,564, and public utilities, with an increase of $8,257,567; metal trades increased by $7,192,704, followed by metal-mining, up $4,750,140, and miscellaneous trades and industries with a gain of $4,367,493; pulp and paper manufacturing, an increase of $3,653,439; coast shipping, a gain of $3,240,314; food products, up $2,871,- 932; printing and publishing, up $2,075,761; wood-manufacturing (N.E.S.), increased by $2,074,842; smelting and concentrating, up $1,745,159; builders' materials, up $1,294,678; oil refining and distribution, an increase of $1,242,852; explosives and chemicals up $903,290; garment-manufacturing, up $688,949; laundries, cleaning, and dyeing, up $686,132; house furnishings, $587,503; breweries and distilleries, $455,368; coal-mining, $302,770; paint-manufacturing, $194,001; leather and fur goods, $151,- 729; and jewellery-manufacturing, up $105,916. Decreases were noted in only two industrial classifications, the ship-building industry, and cigar and tobacco manufacturing. The ship-building industry, which had suffered most serious losses during the immediate post-war period, continued to decline, showing a further decrease of $1,411,667, while cigar and tobacco manufacturing was down $5,951 from the total for the previous year.

INDUSTRIAL DIVISIONS. In order that comparative statistical records may be maintained on a yearly basis, industrial advancement within the Province is segregated into three main divisions, including Greater Vancouver, Rest of Mainland, and Vancouver Island. With the redistribution of the labour force which had concentrated in the Greater Vancouver area during the war years, the percentage of the total pay-roll attributable to this division decreased slightly to 40.17 per cent, from 44.23 per cent, recorded in the previous year. Industrial expansion in other sections of the Province brought a corresponding increase in the Mainland percentage, which accordingly rose to 39.48 per cent, from 36.50 per cent, recorded in 1946, while the Vancouver Island totals also gained slightly, the percentage represented in this section rising from 19.27 to 20.35 per cent, for the year under review. A divisional breakdown of the 1947 total estimated pay-roll is obtained by the application of the above percentages, the resultant figures appearing in the following table, together with comparative data for previous years:— 1943. 1944. 1945. 1946.* 1947.T $185,153,980.93 139,655,391.76 70,143,658.31 $171,190,910.00 148,758,730.00 68,150,360.00 $189,662,910.00 121,210,830.00 72,826,260.00 $191,480,395.00 158,015,700.00 83,423,632.00 $196,833,000.00 193,452,000.00 99,715,000.00 Totals $394,953,031.00 $388,100,000.00 $383,700,000.00 $432,919,727.00 $490,000,000.00 * 1946 total revised since publication of 1946 report. t 1947 preliminary total subject to revision. The percentages of male wage-earners remaining in the lower wage brackets continued to decrease in seven of the twenty-five industrial classifications covered. The following list of industries has been arranged in order of diminishing percentages to show the total male wage-earners employed in each industry, together with the percentage of that number earning less than $19 per week.

J 11 AVERAGE WEEKLY EARNINGS BY INDUSTRIES. Average weekly earnings for male wage-earners increased in twenty-two of the twenty-five industrial classifications included in the survey, with decreases recorded in the remaining three. Due to changes in the questionnaire dealing with weekly earnings, no segregation of employees has been made according to age, as in previous years. While prior to 1947 the figures representing average weekly earnings in each industry were based on adult male wage-earners only, it should be noted that the 1947 earnings as shown in the following table are based on the totals of all male wage-earners, regardless of age. Although strict comparability is not possible under these circumstances, it is considered that little change in the averages is effected by the inclusion of the minority group. Based on the week of employment of the greatest number, the table shows the average weekly earnings for male wage-earners in each industry from 1940 to 1947.

Since 1918 the recorded average earnings of the wage-earner group has been used to indicate the trend of wages paid from year to year in all industrial occupations. The year 1947 was marked by an inflationary movement in wage structures, largely due to the combined effect of greater operating costs, steadily increasing prices, and the resulting demands of labour for commensurate advancement in existing wage-levels. During the year the computed average weekly wage for all male workers in the wage-earner group rose to $43.49, representing the highest average per capita weekly earnings yet recorded for all industrial workers in the Province. Average industrial weekly earnings from 1918 to 1947 are as follows:— 1918 $27.97 1919 29.11 1920 31.51 1921 27.62 1922 27.29 1923 28.05 1924 28.39 1925 27.82 1926 27.99 1927 28.29 1928 28.96 1929 29.20 1930 28.64 1931 26.17 1932 23.62 1933 $22.30 1934 23.57 1935 24.09 1936 26.36 1937 26.64 1938 26.70 1939 26.80 1940 28.11 1941 30.67 1942 35.24 1943 37.19 1944 38.70 1945 38.50 1946 39.87 1947 43.49 Based on the above average figures, the following chart shows the trend of average weekly earnings for male wage-earners from 1918 to 1947.

Coverage of the questionnaire dealing with industrial employment was extended during 1947 to include clerical and sales staff, in addition to wage-earners only, as previously reported. Inasmuch as the inquiry has in the past been restricted to the wage-earner group, the inclusion of the figures representing clerks, stenographers, and salesmen in the 1947 employment totals should be considered as a contributing factor in the increases which are generally apparent. Strict comparability of the 1947 figures with those of previous years is not feasible, the current totals being based on the number of employees reported on the pay-rolls as of the last day of each month, or nearest working-day, while the figures for previous years were based on the average number of employees at work during each month.

J 37 STATISTICS OF CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL WORKERS. Information contained in the statistical tables to follow has been compiled from annual returns submitted to the Department of Labour by the various cities and municipalities throughout the Province, reporting on pay-roll and employment totals of civic and municipal workers for the year 1947. While the totals shown in this section are here set aside for separate study, it should be noted that the figures have already been incorporated in other tables as a part of the total industrial pay-roll. They should therefore not be considered as in addition to totals quoted elsewhere in this report. Represented in the figures are workers engaged in public works, the construction and maintenance of roads, the operation and maintenance of waterworks, generation and distribution of light and power, and similar operations owned and operated by the city or municipality making the return. Based on 120 returns submitted by civic and municipal administrations, the total reported pay-roll was $9,182,413, an increase of $1,617,439 over the reported total for 1946. Pay-roll totals of civic and municipal workers are shown in the following table, which sets out comparative figures as reported for each class of worker covered in the survey, for the years 1945, 1946, and 1947:— 1945.

A survey of male and female civic employees in clerical occupations showed average weekly earnings in this section of $37.45 for male and $25.26 for female workers. Included in this classification were clerks, stenographers, and general office employees, exclusive of salaried officials, executives, and managerial staff. The average weekly hours of work for municipal and civic employees in the wage-earner section decreased to 41.28 from 41.99 previously reported, while for the clerical workers the average weekly figure was 38.49 hours for the year under review. REPORT OF DEPUTY MINISTER, 1947. J 39 SUMMARY OF NEW LAWS AFFECTING LABOUR. (Passed by the Legislature of British Columbia, Session 1948.) "APPRENTICESHIP ACT AMENDMENT ACT, 1948." This amendment gives the Minister of Labour authority to exempt a minor from the necessity of entering into a contract of apprenticeship where the minor is to be employed at specialized or repetitive work within a designated trade. Previously, the Minister of Labour could exercise this authority only when a minor was performing specialized or repetitive work within a designated trade in or incidental to the production or manufacture of war supplies. " COAL-MINES REGULATION ACT, 1948." The " Coal-mines Regulation Act " has been completely revised. Chapter 188 has been repealed and chapter 54 of the Statutes of 1948 has taken its place. The old Act was divided into thirteen parts—two of these parts have been combined into one in the new Act, making twelve parts instead of thirteen. These twelve parts have been rearranged so that they follow in better sequence. Part I, Inspection of Mines, sections 4 to 13, has been revised, allowing for appointment of Electrical and Mechanical Inspectors of Mines and the powers and duties of Inspectors have been more clearly defined. Part II, Employment of Managers, Overseers and Coal-miners, sections 14 to 16, has been changed very little, but a new subsection (6) of section 15 has been added to make certain that no person other than the holder of a first-class certificate of competency or a graduate mining engineer can take part in the technical management of a mine. Part III, Examination and Inquiries as to Competency, sections 17 to 29: This part of the Act has been revised to clarify the duties of the Board of Examiners, and also gives graduate mining engineers an opportunity to take the examinations for coal-mine officials with one or two years less practical experience than that of other candidates. Another new provision in Part III, section 24 (2), is an Inspector may grant a permit to a person not holding a coal-miner's certificate to work at the coal-face under the supervision of a coal-miner under certain conditions, but the permit is good only for one year or less if that person obtains a coal-miner's certificate before the year expires. Part IV, Regulation of Employment and Wages, sections 30 to 42: There has been very little change in the meaning of any of the sections in this Part, but the phrasing has been improved. Part V, Outlets, Water-covered Areas, and Divisions of Mines, sections 42 to 52: This Part has been revised for better phrasing, but the meaning changed very little. Part VI, Protection of Abandoned Mines, Plans of Mines, sections 53 to 57: The principal change.in this Part is that now the owner or manager must send the Chief Inspector an accurate plan of the mine within six weeks after abandonment of the mine. The old Act gave the owner or manager three months to prepare this plan. Part VII, Returns and Notices, sections 58 to 62: This Part has been rewritten, cutting out unnecessary sections in regard to returns which were already dealt with in other Departmental Acts. Part VIII, Arbitration, section 63: This Part has been revised for better phrasing, but very little change in meaning. Part IX, Inquests, section 64: Practically similar to the old Act. Part X, General Rules, Regulations, and Special Rules, sections 65 to 81: The General Rules governing safety in different phases of underground operations have J 40 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR. been completely revised, bringing them in line with modern mine practice. In section 65 there are ninety-eight rules; these rules have been classified under various headings dealing with particular subjects, such as ventilation, inspection of workings and machinery, explosives and blasting, machinery and haulage, timbering, etc. In section 66 there are thirteen rules dealing exclusively with precautions against coal-dust in mines. These rules have been brought in line with recent research into this subject in Great Britain. In section 67 there are seven rules dealing with precautions against coal-dust in dry-coal cleaning plants. This is an entirely new section. In section 68 there are thirteen rules governing surface coal-stripping operations. This is an entirely new section. In section 69 there are twenty-seven rules governing electrical installations on the surface and underground at coal mines. These rules have been completely revised, bringing them in line with the requirements of the Electrical Code of the Canadian Standards Association. Sections 70 to 81 deal with the methods of drawing up special rules at the various mining operations. Several improvements have been made in these sections over the old Act. Part XI, Rescue-work, sections 82 and 83: This Part is very similar to the old Act. Part XII, Supplemental, sections 84 to 93: This Part deals with offences and penalties. This has been revised and clarified. A Schedule giving an abstract from the British Table of Distances for magazines and a complete index have been added. " FEMALE MINIMUM WAGE ACT AMENDMENT ACT, 1948." Prior to this amendment, the Board of Industrial Relations was restricted in its power to issue licences to female employees. The licences, providing for the payment of minimum wage-rates lower than those payable to experienced employees, could be issued only with respect to female employees who were inexperienced and who were over 18 years of age. The amendment deletes the reference to age, it being considered that experience rather than age should be the deciding factor, and accordingly the Board may now issue licences for inexperienced female employees without regard to the age factor. The Act was further amended by requiring an employer to keep a record of the occupations of all of his employees. It is thought that a record showing the occupational classifications of the employees will facilitate the work of Inspectors when determining the appropriate minimum wage-rate that should apply in any instance. Also, certain occupations in various industries are exempt from the limitation of working-hours provided in section 3 of the " Hours of Work Act," and a record of the employee's occupation will clarify the situation for the management and the Inspectors. The employer is no longer required to keep a record of the nationality of the employee, as this information was useful only for statistical purposes. " HOURS OF WORK ACT AMENDMENT ACT, 1948." Persons holding positions of supervision or management or employed in a confidential capacity were not restricted to the hours of work provided in section 3 of the Act so long as the duties performed by them were entirely of a supervisory or managerial character and did not comprise any work or duty customarily performed by the employees. In case of dispute the Board could determine whether or not the position held by any person was such as to bring him within the scope of this provision. To overcome the problem of having to determine whether or not a dispute existed, the words " case of dispute " were deleted, and the words " any such case " substituted, REPORT OF DEPUTY MINISTER, 1947. J 41 so that regardless of any difference of opinion in connection with the application of this section the Board would have the right to finally decide whether or not the employee's duties were such as to bring him within the scope of the provisions of section 4. Provision is made in section 11 (3) of the Act for a variance of the employee's working-hours over a period of time if an agreement between the employees and the employer is confirmed by the Board. The average hours of work over the period shall not exceed forty-four per week. As this section was worded, the only variance that could be agreed to was with respect to the daily limit of work. The amendment provides for the Board's confirmation of a variance with respect to the daily or weekly, or both the daily and weekly, limit of hours of work, as experience had shown that in order to average a forty-four-hour week over a stated period of time it is often necessary to exceed the weekly hours as well as the daily hours for a part of that averaging period. A further amendment substituted the word " occupations " for the word " nationalities " in connection with the keeping of records for reasons similar to those outlined in connection with the amendment to the " Female Minimum Wage Act." " INDUSTRIAL CONCILIATION AND ARBITRATION ACT, 1947, AMENDMENT ACT, 1948." Under the original Act the Minister of Labour was charged with the performance of many duties which have now been delegated to the Labour Relations Board (British Columbia). The appointment of Conciliation Officers and Conciliation Boards, the determination of certain questions of fact, the granting of permission to prosecute for infractions of the Statute are among the duties of the Labour Relations Board. The Minister of Labour remains responsible for the administration of the Act and retains authority to appoint Industrial Inquiry Commissions. Where previously a certificate of bargaining authority was issued to bargaining representatives elected by a majority vote of the employees affected, or to a trade-union which had as its members the majority of the employees in a unit appropriate for collective bargaining, such a certificate may now be issued to a " labour organization," which may be either a trade-union or an association of employees. Decisions regarding such questions as to whether a person is an employee within the meaning of the Act, or if a labour organization is dominated or influenced by an employer, are the conclusive responsibility of the Labour Relations Board. The Act, in addition to other sections concerning unfair labour practices, now provides that if an employer illegally discharges an employee because of participation in the activities of a labour organization, he shall reinstate the employee and pay to him the wages lost by reason of the discharge; if the employer is found guilty of such an illegal discharge by a Magistrate or Justice, he may be directed to pay the employee the wages lost by reason of the discharge in addition to any other penalty imposed; if an agreement is reached as a result of collective bargaining and the parties refuse to sign or execute the agreement, they may be charged with an offence against the Act. Following a complaint that an employer, labour organization, or person acting on their behalf is committing any act of unfair labour practice, the Labour Relations Board may serve notice on the parties concerned that an inquiry will be made, and if, as a result of the inquiry, the parties are found to be committing the prohibited act, the Labour Relations Board may order that it cease. A refusal of the parties to obey this order is an offence against the Act, and a conviction thereof will not prevent prosecution in respect of any offence committed by reason of doing the prohibited act. The section dealing with the payment of union dues has been changed so that a check-off of dues must only be paid to a labour organization which is certified as a bargaining authority. J 42 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR. It is provided that where an application for certification is made by a labour organization for a bargaining unit in which the employees are employed by two or more employers, the Labour Relations Board shall not certify the bargaining authority unless the unit is appropriate for collective .bargaining in respect to all the employers and unless the majority of the employers has consented to representation by one bargaining authority. The amendments provide that at any time after a labour organization has been certified as bargaining agent for a unit of employees, the Labour Relations Board may cancel the certification if investigation discloses that the labour organization has ceased to be a labour organization, or that the employer has ceased to be the employer of the employees in the unit, or if ten months have elapsed since the certification of the labour organization and that it has ceased to represent the employees in the unit. Where an employer has separate operations in progress in different parts of the Province and an application for certification of a bargaining authority for the employees in any trade is made, the Labour Relations Board may certify a bargaining authority for all the employees in that trade in all the operations of the employer throughout the Province. The time in which certain things are to be done pursuant to the Act has been reduced. An employer must commence collective bargaining with the bargaining authority within five days after receipt of a notice from the bargaining authority instead of the ten days previously allowed. A Conciliation Officer may be appointed after collective bargaining has taken place for ten days instead of fourteen, and only by consent of the Labour Relations Board or upon consent of the parties concerned may his commission be extended beyond ten days, whereas this period had been fourteen days. Similarly, the time-limits concerning the appointment, functioning, and report of Conciliation Boards, and the period following the report of the Conciliation Board which must be observed before a strike or lockout can be legally called, are reduced. The amendments provide that the Labour Relations Board may authorize an employer, who has been notified to commence collective bargaining by a bargaining authority, or who has been a party to a collective agreement, to make an increase or decrease in wages or an alteration in any term or condition of employment. The regulations may be of general or restricted application and may prescribe the conditions to be observed by the employer to whom the authority was granted. Where previously it was provided that the report of the decision of a majority of the members of a Conciliation Board was the report of the Board and as such was sent to the interested parties, amendments now state that if the Conciliation Board's decision is not unanimous, then copies of the reports of all the members must be sent to the interested parties and may be published by the direction of the Labour Relations Board. The amendments provide that in the event of a strike or lockout and where an offer of settlement is made by either employer or employees, the Labour Relations Board may direct that the offer be submitted to a vote of the employers or employees affected, and it may make arrangements for the conduct and supervision of the vote. Sections in the original Act which provided for the appointment, duties, and powers of a Referee regarding investigations concerning unfair labour practices have been deleted. Provisions regarding the term of collective agreements have been amended. It is now provided that if a collective agreement is for a term of more than one year, then, notwithstanding any provisions contained in the agreement, either party may, after the agreement has been in operation for eight months, apply to the Labour Relations Board for permission to terminate the agreement on its next anniversary date. If the Labour Relations Board gives this consent and if the notice of termination is served REPORT OF DEPUTY MINISTER, 1947. J 43 on the party at least two months before the anniversary date, then the agreement will be terminated on that date. However, should the parties desire that the term of a collective agreement be for more than one year, they may by agreement specifically exclude the operation of the foregoing provisions, and in that event they would not be applicable. The section dealing with the qualifications of members of a Conciliation Board has been amended. No person shall be appointed to act as a chairman of a Conciliation Board who has, either directly or indirectly, any pecuniary interest in the matters referred to it or who is or has within a six-month period preceding the date of his appointment acted in the capacity of solicitor, legal adviser, counsel, or paid agent of either of the parties concerned in the dispute. It is provided in the amendments that the members of the Labour Relations Board are appointed to office for a term of five years but may be dismissed for cause. Should the chairman not be present at a meeting of the Board, the remaining members of the Board may appoint one of their number to act as chairman, and in order that routine matters may be promptly disposed of, the Board may delegate any of its functions or duties to one or more of its members. The section dealing with the powers of the Labour Relations Board has been amended so that the Board's decision is final and conclusive for the purposes of the Act in regard to certain questions arising under the Act, except in respect of any matter that is before a Court. Amendments to the miscellaneous provisions of the Act now make it obligatory for an extra-provincial company to appoint a person resident in the Province to bargain collectively with the bargaining authority and to conclude and sign a collective agreement on behalf of the company which shall be binding on it, and failure to comply with these provisions is an offence against the Act. It is provided that if employees have gone on strike contrary to any of the provisions of the Act, the Labour Relations Board may cancel the certificate of bargaining authority for these employees and may establish a procedure for negotiating a settlement of the strike. The amended Act provides that where it is necessary to serve an unincorporated organization with a summons or other Court process, service may be effected on the secretary, if available, or otherwise on any officer of the organization. It is provided in the amendments that pre-strike and pre-lockout votes will be by secret ballot and that the Labour Relations Board or its representative will supervise the taking and counting of the ballots and may make such regulations as it deems proper for supervision of the vote. The Labour Relations Board may also direct that any other vote, under the provisions of the Act, shall be by secret ballot and may exercise full power of supervision over the taking and counting of the ballots. Under amendments to the Act, the Labour Relations Board is to make an annual report to the Minister of Labour for submission to the next meeting of the Legislature. The report is to comprise statements and summaries of the work accomplished by the Board and such other information as may be requested by the Minister of Labour. For the purpose of dealing with labour relations on a Dominion or interprovincial basis in the meat-packing and coal-mining industries, the amendments provide that the Lieutenant-Governor in Council may make regulations providing for co-operation with the Dominion or any other Province, and to the extent that they are necessary to be effective these regulations will supersede the provisions of the Act. " MALE MINIMUM WAGE ACT AMENDMENT ACT, 1948." This amendment to the " Male Minimum Wage Act" provides for the members of the Board of Industrial Relations to elect one of its members to be vice-chairman of the Board, who shall have all the powers of the chairman during his absence. J 44 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR. A further amendment requires the employer to keep a record of the occupations of his employees instead of the nationalities, for reasons similar to those outlined in connection with the amendment to the " Female Minimum Wage Act." "MECHANICS' LIEN ACT AMENDMENT ACT, 1948." This amendment provides that all sums received by a contractor or a sub-contractor on account of the contract price shall be a trust fund in the hands of the contractor or the sub-contractor for the benefit of the owner, contractor, sub-contractor, Workmen's Compensation Board, labourers, and persons who have supplied material on account of the contract. Neither the contractor nor the sub-contractor shall appropriate any part of such sum to his own use until all labourers and persons who have supplied material on the contract are paid for work done or material supplied, and the Workmen's Compensation Board is paid any assessment. "METALLIFEROUS MINES REGULATION ACT, 1948." The " Metalliferous Mines Regulation Act" has been completely revised. Chapter 189 has been repealed and chapter 55 of the 1948 Statutes has been substituted. The new Act is headed by three preliminary sections followed by five parts. The preliminary part includes the title, definitions, and application of the Act. Part I, Administration, sections 4 to 19: This makes provision for the appointment of Electrical, Metallurgical, and Mechanical Inspectors and defines the powers and duties of Inspectors and the duties of owners, agents, and managers. Part II, General Rules, section 20: This Part consists of 256 general rules which apply to mines, quarries, and metallurgical works. These rules have been completely rewritten to bring about a better arrangement and conform with modern mining practices. They are grouped under various headings dealing with particular subjects, such as surface arrangements, fire-protection, explosives, hoisting, haulage, ventilation, etc. Rules covering mills and metallurgical works have been amplified and additions made to cover cranes, elevators, hoistways, etc., on the surface. Part III, Special Rules, sections 21 to 31: This Part deals with the method of drawing up special rules to make provision for covering special conditions found at any mine. Part IV, Electrical Installations, sections 32 to 37: This Part defines the extent to which the Canadian Electrical Code applies to surface and underground electrical installations at metal mines, quarries, and metallurgical works, and the powers of the Electrical Inspector and duties of owners, agents, or managers in this respect. Part V, Supplemental, sections 38 to 48: This Part deals with offences and penalties, and has been revised and clarified. It also gives the Lieutenant-Governor in Council power to make regulations for carrying out the provisions of the Act in the interests of safety. A Schedule giving an abstract from the British Table of Distances for magazines and a complete index have been added. " SEMI-MONTHLY PAYMENT OF WAGES ACT AMENDMENT ACT, 1948." Certain difficulties had been present in connection with the enforcement of this Act by reason of the fact that a " wage " had not been defined. This amendment defines " wage " or " wages " as " any compensation for labour or services, measured by time, piece, or otherwise," and is similar to that provided in the " Male Minimum Wage Act." Prior to this amendment, employees who had been engaged under a bona-fide contract, where the yearly salary or wages was $2,000 or over, were exempt from the application of the Act. The increases in wages that have taken place during the last REPORT OF DEPUTY MINISTER, 1947. J 45 seven years have added substantially to the number of employees who might be exempt from the provisions of the Act by reason of the fact that they were engaged under a bona-fide contract and were paid $2,000 or over. In order that the Act would apply to the majority of employees who worked for wages, the amendment requires that the bona-fide contract shall be in writing and that the wages of the employees shall be $4,000 or over. " SHOPS REGULATION AND WEEKLY HOLIDAY ACT AMENDMENT ACT, 1948." In Part II of the Act regarding Regulations relating to a Weekly Holiday, the definition of a " shop " is clarified by the inclusion of, with the present definition, any building or portion of a building, booth, stall, or place where goods are exposed or offered for sale by retail, or where the business of a barber or a hairdresser or the business of a shoe-shine stand is carried on, but not where the only trade or business carried on is that of a tobacconist, news-agent, hotel, inn, tavern, victualling-house, or refreshment-house, and the exclusion of pawnbrokers' shops or shops in which only second-hand goods or wares are bought, sold, or offered for sale, or premises where a barber or hairdresser is attending a customer in the customer's residence. A routine amendment is made in section 3 by substituting the word " holiday " for the word " half-holiday." " WOODMEN'S LIEN FOR WAGES ACT AMENDMENT ACT, 1948." This amendment provides that a plaintiff, on filing his statement of claim in any suit brought to enforce a lien under the " Woodmen's Lien for Wages Act," shall pay in stamps $1 on every $100 or fraction of $100 of the amount of his claim up to $1,000. "WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION ACT AMENDMENT ACT, 1948." The most important amendments to the Act, from the worker's point of view, are those that provide increased compensation to dependents. The death benefits payable to dependents were increased from $40 to $50 per month, and the allowance for each child under the age of 16 years was increased from $10 to $12.50 per month, without any limitation on the total amount that might be paid pursuant to the provisions of this section of the Act. A further amendment increases from $2.50 to $3 50 the per diem allowance the Board may make to an injured workman for his subsistence when, under its direction, he is undergoing treatment at a place other than the place wherein he resides. Still another amendment increases from $125 to $150 the amount the Board may allow to cover the necessary expenses of the burial or cremation of a deceased workman. J 46 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR.

To the Honourable the Minister of Labour, Province of British Columbia. SIR,—We have the honour to present the fourteenth annual report of the Board of Industrial Relations for the year ended December 31st, 1947. When the " Male Minimum Wage Act" of 1934 was passed by the Legislature, provision was made in that Statute for the establishment of a board consisting of five members, to be known as the " Board of Industrial Relations." The Board was established in April, 1934, and was charged with the duties and responsibilities formerly connected with three separate boards—namely, the Minimum Wage Board, the Board of Adjustment, and the Male Minimum Wage Board. The first Minimum Wage Board of the Province, consisting of three members, had been set up in July, 1918, to administer the provisions of the " Women's Minimum Wage Act." This Board dealt with minimum wages and conditions of employment with respect to female employees. It was not until the year 1925 that legislation was passed relating to the establishment of minimum wages applying to male employees. Prior to the year 1934 the " Hours of Work Act," a Statute passed in December, 1923, had been administered by the three-member Board of Adjustment which was established in January, 1925. The Board of Adjustment also, until the "Male Minimum Wage Act" of 1925 was repealed and a new " Male Minimum Wage Act " was passed by the Legislature on March 20th, 1929, had jurisdiction over the matter of minimum wages for male employees. With the enactment of the " Male Minimum Wage Act" of 1929, a Male Minimum Wage Board was established to exercise control over the matter of minimum wages for male employees. The Male Minimum Wage Board consisted of three members and functioned during the years 1929 to 1934, when the present Board of Industrial Relations was established. The brief historical outline in the preceding paragraphs is provided to indicate that for more than a quarter of a century legislation has been in effect to protect female employees from possible exploitation by a minority of employers who, but for that legislation, may not have had any interest in the welfare of the women and girls employed by them, and that for twenty-three years legislation has been in effect giving benefits to male employees. Although this is the fourteenth annual report of the Board, it is actually the thirtieth annual record of the Department with respect to female employees. REPORT OF DEPUTY MINISTER, 1947. J 47 MEETINGS AND DELEGATIONS. During the year 1947 the Board held eighty-five sessions on forty-three different days. It convened in Victoria on thirty-one of those days and in Vancouver on twelve days. Thirty-five delegations appeared before the Board during the year under review. Certain of the delegations requested the Board to establish minimum wages and conditions of employment with respect to employees who were not at that time receiving the benefits of a minimum wage Order. Other delegations made submissions to the Board regarding proposed revisions of Orders in effect, and still other parties made representations requesting temporary amendments to certain Orders to provide time to make provision for increased personnel so that the industry would not be penalized for non-compliance with certain provisions of the Orders due to reasons which were beyond its control. In this connection representations were made by employers in the logging industry regarding the hours worked by the timekeepers in logging camps. It was claimed that during the war it had been impossible to provide accommodation for future requirements and that it would need several months before changes in personnel, etc., could be made so that the working-hours of the timekeepers could be confined within the limits provided in the " Hours of Work Act." After a complete investigation of the matter the Board made Orders Nos. Ia (1947) and lc (1947), referred to in the following section of this Report. Similar representations were made by the pulp and paper industry. It was claimed that lack of accommodation resulted in shortage of labour and made it impossible to fully comply with the weekly limit of forty-four hours. The result of this submission is outlined under the heading " Orders made during 1947." Public hearings were held in connection with the carpentry industry, automotive maintenance workers, radio technicians, sheet-metal workers, theatrical workers, and bakery salesmen. Following these hearings the Board made Order No. 58 (1947) and Regulation 17b, referred to in the following sections of this Report. ■ It has not yet been possible to complete the revision of all the Orders to which reference was made in the Annual Report for 1946, and this is due in part to the time the Board has had to devote to the preparation of proposed Orders covering employees who up to this time have not come within the application of any minimum wage Order of the Board, or who, at the present time, are covered by an industrial Order rather than an occupational Order. On July 31st, 1947, Miss Mabel A. Cameron, secretary of the Board of Industrial Relations, who had completed twenty-eight years' service with the Provincial Government, retired from the Civil Service. She had joined the Department of Labour as secretary of the Minimum Wage Board in 1919. During her twenty-eight years as a public servant Miss Cameron had taken an active part in drawing up the many Orders and regulations that are now in effect, and on her retirement the Department lost an employee whose experience and ability were recognized both by her associates in the Department and the general public. C. R. Margison, who had for the previous six months been acting as administrative assistant to the chairman of the Board, was appointed secretary to the Board oh September 1st, 1947. He had been on leave from the Department of Labour from January, 1942, to February, 1947, during which period he had been working with the British Columbia Regional War Labour Board in the administration of the Dominion Government's War-time Wages Control Order. J 48 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR. ORDERS MADE DURING 1947. During the year 1947 the Board completely revised ten of its Orders, resulting in the promulgation of the following:-— Order No. 1,1947, with respect to the logging industry. Order No. 5,1947, with respect to the personal service occupation. Order No. 25,1947, with respect to the manufacturing industry. Order No. 49,1947, with respect to the woodworking industry. Order No. 50,1947, with respect to the sawmill industry. Order No. 51,1947, with respect to the household-furniture manufacturing industry. Order No. 55,1947, with respect to the box-manufacturing industry. Order No. 58,1947, with respect to the carpentry trade. Order No. 62,1947, with respect to the shingle industry. Order No. 68, 1947, with respect to the Christmas-tree industry. In addition, an entirely new Order was made with respect to the occupation of hairdressing, Order No. 27, 1947, which occupation had previously been included in the Personal Service Order. The wage-rates and working conditions provided in the above-mentioned revised Orders substantially improved the employees' conditions of employment, but perhaps the major change made in connection with most of these Orders was the broadening of the application of all but four of them to include in their coverage both male and female employees. Previously Order No. 5 and Order No. 25 had applied only to female employees, and Order No. 49, Order No. 51, Order No. 55, and Order No. 68 had applied only to male employees. In connection with the carpentry trade, after holding a public hearing regarding the revision of the applicable Orders, the Board decided to make one Order governing this trade to apply throughout the Province instead of restricting its application to only five areas of the Province as previously. Order No. IA, 1947, and Order No. lc, 1947—Logging Industry.—Order No. Ia, 1947, amended Male Minimum Wage Order No. 1, 1947, with respect to the logging industry by removing male office employees in logging camps from the overtime provisions of that Order for the period May 29th, 1947, to December 31st, 1947. This amendment was further extended by Order No. lc, 1947, for the period January 1st, 1948, to and including April 30th, 1948. Order No. IB, 1947—Logging Industry. — This Order amended Male Minimum Wage Order No. 1, 1947, by removing employees engaged as trainees in topographic mapping in connection with the logging industry from the overtime provisions of that Order for the period June 5th, 1947, to and including September 30th, 1947. Order No. 2A, 1947—Apprentices indentured under the "Apprenticeship Act."— This Order of the Board amended Male and Female Minimum Wage Order No. 2, 1946, with respect to apprentices indentured under the "Apprenticeship Act" by deleting therefrom^ the provision that the rates of pay under the contract of apprenticeship would constitute the minimum wage payable by the employer to the apprentice. This amendment was made as the matter of the wage-rates to be paid to apprentices indentured pursuant to the provisions of the "Apprenticeship Act " is covered by the provisions of that Statute. Order No. 24A, 1947—Mercantile Industry.—This Order amended Female Minimum Wage Order No. 24, 1946, with respect to the mercantile industry by giving the Board of Industrial Relations authority to vary the daily guarantee provision in connection with experienced female employees working less than thirty-nine hours per week. I REPORT OF DEPUTY MINISTER, 1947. J 49 Order No. 25A, 1947—Manufacturing Industry.—This Order amended Male and Female Minimum Wage Order No. 25, 1947, with respect to the manufacturing industry by deleting from the application of the overtime provisions those employees in that section of the pulp and paper industry that is exempted from the provisions of the " Hours of Work Act" pursuant to the provisions of section 12 of the said Act. The Order was effective for the period August 1st, 1947, to and including April 30th, 1948. Order No. 28a, 1947—Logging and Sawmill Industries.—This Order of the Board rescinded Order No. 28, which Order had fixed the maximum price to be charged for board and lodging in the logging and sawmill industries in certain parts of the Province as set out in the said Order No. 28. Order No. 34a, 1947-—Office Occupation.—This Order amended Female Minimum Wage Order No. 34, 1946, with respect to the office occupation by giving the Board of Industrial Relations authority to vary the daily guarantee provision in connection with experienced female employees working less than thirty-six hours per week. Order No. 47a, 1946—Fruit and Vegetable Industry.—This Order amended Male Minimum Wage Order No. 47, 1946, with respect to the fruit and vegetable industry by deleting from its coverage persons holding positions of supervision or management as defined by section 4 of the " Hours of Work Act." Order No. 52a, 1947—Hotel and Catering Industry.—This Order amended Male and Female Minimum Wage Order No. 52, 1946, with respect to the hotel and catering industry by applying the minimum wage-rates provided therein to bell-boys. Orders No. 59 and 24—Mercantile Supplementary, 1947.—These Orders took care of male and female employees in the mercantile industry for the Christmas period. Temporary workers employed between December 4th and December 31st were required to be paid not less than 45 cents per hour, except that female employees working thirty-nine hours or more per week were required to be paid not less than $17 for that week. REGULATIONS MADE DURING 1947. Regulation No. 5A—Shipping Staff.—This regulation of the Board cancelled Regulation No. 5 which had permitted persons employed as members of the shipping staff in industrial undertakings, where shipping operations were of an intermittent nature, to work such hours in addition to the working-hours limited by section 3 of the " Hours of Work Act " as were necessary to surmount extraordinary conditions. In view of the cancellation of Regulation No. 5, the hours of work of the shipping staff in industrial undertakings are limited to those provided in section 3 of the " Hours of Work Act." Regulation No. 17b—Baking Industry.—This regulation cancelled Regulation No. 17a and reduced from fifty to forty-eight the number of hours per week that persons employed in the baking industry as deliverymen might work. It also limited the daily working-hours of these employees to ten. Regulation No. 32—Construction Industry.—This regulation of the Board permitted persons employed in the construction of the project known as the Pine Pass Highway to work nine hours per day and fifty-four hours per week for the period May 22nd, 1947, to and including November 15th, 1947. Regulation No. 32a—Construction Industry.—This regulation permitted persons employed in the construction of the project known as the Hope-Princeton Highway to work nine hours per day and fifty-four hours per week for the period May 22nd, 1947, to and including November 15th, 1947. Regulation No. 32b—Construction Industry.—This regulation permitted persons employed in the construction of the project known as the Princeton-Kaleden Highway to work ten hours per day and fifty hours per week for the period May 22nd, 1947, to and including November 15th, 1947. J 50 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR. The regulations with respect to the construction industry were made by the Board to facilitate the completion of the respective highways. Regulation No. 33—Occupations of Stationary Steam Engineer and Special Engineer.—This regulation of the Board added to the Schedule of the " Hours of Work Act " the occupation of stationary steam engineer and the occupation of special engineer as defined in the regulation. At the time this regulation was made, after due inquiry, pursuant to the provisions of section 12 of the " Hours of Work Act," the Board exempted stationary steam engineers and special engineers, as defined in Regulation No. 33 employed as janitor-engineers in apartment blocks covered by an Order of the Board establishing a minimum wage in the occupation of janitor, from the operation of the " Hours of Work Act." Regulation No. 34—Occupations of Bartender, Waiter, and Utility Man.—This regulation of the Board added to the Schedule of the " Hours of Work Act " the occupations of bartender, waiter, and utility man within premises covered by beer licences issued pursuant to the provisions of section 28 of the " Government Liquor Act." At the time this regulation was made, after due inquiry, pursuant to the provisions of section 12 of the " Hours of Work Act," the Board exempted the occupations of bartender, waiter, and utility man within premises covered by beer licences issued pursuant to the provisions of section 28 of the " Government Liquor Act" from the operations of the " Hours of Work Act " in the following cities, districts, and villages:— Cities: Greenwood, Kaslo, Salmon Arm. Districts: Glenmore, Oak Bay, Peachland, Kent, Penticton, Spallumcheen, Matsqui, Sumas, Summerland, Surrey, Tadanac, West Vancouver. Villages: Chapman Camp, Cranberry Lake, Tofino. Mercantile Industry—Christmas, 1947 (Temporary).—This regulation of the Board authorized certain employees in retail establishments in the mercantile industry to exceed on certain days during the Christmas season the limit of hours of work provided in section 3 of the " Hours of Work Act." (Summaries of the above-mentioned Orders and regulations, together with other existing and new Orders and regulations made prior to this Report going to press, may be found in the Appendix to this section of the Report.) STATISTICS COVERING WOMEN AND GIRL EMPLOYEES. A separate section has again been set aside to present for 1947 the annual statistical survey of women workers in the business and industrial life of the Province. Returns were received in time for tabulation from some 7,850 employers of women and girjs, who reported a total of 61,442 female workers for the year under review. This total represents a substantial increase over the 55,332 reported for the previous year and, it is gratifying to note, exceeds the previous high of 60,410 established in 1944. With the simplification of the 1947 questionnaires, some detail has necessarily been eliminated from the information here presented. The tables which follow, however, have been rearranged to give a comparative picture for the past five years relating to employment, earnings, and hours of work in those occupations and industries covered by Orders of the Board. Mercantile Industry (Female). 1947. 1946. 1945. 1944. 1943. Number of firms reporting Total number of employees Total weekly earnings 1,747 11.493 $228,446.00 $19.88 36.48 1,696 10,808 $197,691.08 $18.29 38.46 1,650 11,039 $184,838.18 $16.74 38.02 1,515 10,618 $173,346.41 $16.33 37.99 1,330 9.929 $144,067.59 $14.51 37.76 Average hours worked per week REPORT OF DEPUTY MINISTER, 1947. J 51 Firms reporting in the mercantile industry increased to 1,747 during 1947, compared with a total of 1,696 recorded in the previous year. With the increased coverage, the over-all employment total rose to 11,493, as against 10,808 reported for 1946. Total amount of salaries and wages paid to the 11,493 female employees for the week under review was $228,446, up from $197,691 reported for 1946 and representing average per capita weekly earnings of $19.88 in this industry, increased from $18.29 noted for the previous year. Due to many employers reporting the highest volume of employment during the Christmas week, in which the total working-hours were considerably less than normal, the average weekly hours of work was recorded at 36.48, as against 38.46 for this industry in 1946. Laundry, Cleaning and Dyeing Industries (Female). 1947. 1946. 1945. 1944. 1943. Number of firms reporting 206 2,881 $57,784.00 $20.06 38.23 176 2,285 $40,417.75 $17.69 39.01 181 2,332 $37,965.94 $16.28 39.88 161 2,151 $33,228.64 $15.45 38.90 138 1,830 $27,096.61 $14.81 40.49 With a total of 206 firms reporting in this section, the number of female employees engaged in laundry, cleaning and dyeing occupations was reported as 2,881 for 1947, a substantial increase over the 1946 total of 2,285. Total earnings for the week reviewed was $57,784, the 2,881 employees earning an average weekly amount of $20.06. Compared with a 1946 figure of $17.69, and $16.28 in 1945, this represents a marked increase in earnings for females employed in this industry. With the increase in employment in this section, average weekly hours for employees in laundry, cleaning and dyeing occupations decreased slightly in 1947 to show an average figure of 38.23, as against 39.01 recorded in 1946. Hotel and Catering Industry (Female). 1943. Number of firms reporting Total number of employees Total weekly earnings Average weekly earnings Average hours worked per week 1,222 10,879 $216,965.00 $19.94 38.54 1,174 9,492 $175,484.81 $18.49 38.93 1,271 9,553 $162,384.74 $17.00 40.56 1,137 1,137 9,078 I 8,879 $151,575.26 $142,331.93 $16.70 $16.03 41.01 I 41.50 I Increasing numbers of firms reporting in the hotel and catering group were responsible for rising employment totals in this section, the 1,222 firms replying to the questionnaire reporting a total of 10,879 females, increased from 9,492 reported in 1946. With a weekly pay-roll of $216,965 for the period reported, average per capita weekly earnings for the employees shown in this classification rose to $19.94 in 1947, increased from an average weekly figure of $18.49 recorded for the previous year. Average weekly working-hours for employees in hotel and catering occupations decreased fractionally to 38.54 in 1947, as against 38.93 noted for 1946. J 52 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR.

With increasing numbers of firms reporting females engaged in clerical occupations, employment totals in this section reached a new high, the 1947 figure rising to 15,368 from 14,296 recorded for the previous year. This represents the highest recorded employment figure for females in any of the occupations included in the survey. With a total of $423,571 paid in salaries and wages for the week reported, average weekly earnings for office workers increased substantially over the previous year, the 1947 figure advancing to $27.56 from $24.22 previously reported. Little change was noted in the average weekly hours of work in this occupation, the 1947 figure decreasing fractionally to 39.09 from 39.46 noted in 1946. Personal Service Occupation (Female). 1947. 1946. 1945. 1944. 1943. 152 524 $11,830.00 $22.58 39.48 144 542 $11,435.30 $21.10 40.16 149 535 $10,350.57 $19.35 39.88 134 476 $9,054.25 $19.02 40.50 134 453 $7,543.50 $16.65 39.94 The above table covering the personal service occupation includes females employed as beauty-parlour operators, chiropodists, and those engaged in similar occupations. The firms reporting in the above table are limited to those employing staff, as many firms in this business are operated by the owners without outside help, and consequently are omitted in the coverage of the survey for this reason. Although there was a slight increase in the number of firms reporting in 1947, the employment total registered little change, decreasing fractionally to 524 from 542 listed in 1946. In line with the upward trend of wages in general during the year, the total weekly amount of salaries and wages paid in this occupation increased to $11,830 in 1947, to show an average per capita weekly earnings of $22.58, compared with $21.10 reported for 1946. Average weekly hours worked in personal service occupations decreased slightly for the period reviewed, the 1947 figure declining to 39.48 from 40.16 noted for the previous year.

REPORT OF DEPUTY MINISTER, 1947. J 53 Due to changes in the questionnaire, omitting the detailed listing of all employees, it was not possible to segregate piece-workers and employees engaged in heading and filling occupations from the totals submitted by the firms reporting. Inasmuch as these occupations were previously omitted from the tables, being outside the governing Order of the Board, no direct comparison should be made in the preceding table between 1947 figures and those for previous years. The 1947 figures, however, serve to show details of the over-all picture of females engaged in this industry. With twenty-two firms reporting females in all cannery occupations, the total employment figure was 2,129 for 1947. Total amount of salaries and wages paid for the week under review was $58,775, representing an average per capita earnings of $27.61 for the period reported. Little change was noted in the weekly hours of work in this industry, the average increasing fractionally to 37.84 during 1947, as against 37.49 previously reported. Telephone and Telegraph Occupation (Female). 1946. 1945. 1944. 1943. Number of firms reporting Total number of employees Total weekly earnings Average weekly earnings Average hours worked per week 154 2,679 1,205.00 $25.46 40.08 230 2,720 $61,895.57 $22.76 40.61 221 2,096 $44,409.74 $21.19 37.78 194 2,353 $54,232.36 $23.05 40.52 I 186 2,185 $39,480.72 $18.07 40.54 I In recording the number of firms employing females in occupations relating to the telephone and telegraph section, the inclusion of offices, establishments, hotels, hospitals, etc. (wherein the operation of a switchboard places the firm in the above category) has been responsible for fluctuations in the totals of reporting firms. It is evident from the 1947 returns that many employers, particularly in office establishments, have in some cases included switchboard operators in the general totals relating to office employees, as the number of supplementing firms reporting telephone and telegraph occupations was somewhat less than in previous years. Employment totals, however, remain high in the sample obtained, a total of 2,679 female employees being reported in this occupation by the firms filing returns, as against 2,720 noted for 1946. Pay-roll for the week reported climbed to $68,205, compared with total salaries and wages of $61,895 paid for a similar weekly period in 1946. Based on the employment represented, the average weekly earnings for females employed in telephone and telegraph occupations was $25.46 in 1947, substantially increased from $22.76 reported for the previous year and $21.19 in 1945. Manufacturing Industry (Female). 1947. 1946. 1945. 1944. 1943. 794 8,983 $216,668.00 $24.12 38.19 948 8,757 $189,535.49 $21.64 39.32 1,036 14,016 $321,983.90 $22.97 40.33 849 16,221 $415,945.94 $25.64 42.35 873 14,869 $299,685.37 Total weekly earnings Although the number of firms reporting in this section was less than in the previous year, the over-all employment total gained in strength, with 8,983 females reported in manufacturing occupations for 1947, increased from 8,757 in 1946. J 54 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR. Total amount of salaries and wages paid to the 8,983 employees for the weekly period was $216,668, representing an average per capita weekly earnings of $24.12 for females employed in this group, compared with $21.64 previously recorded. In line with the general downward trend established in the post-war years, further decrease was noted in the weekly working-hours in manufacturing industries, the 1947 average declining to 38.19 from 39.32 reported for 1946. Fruit and Vegetable Industry (Female) .

With eighty-five firms reporting in the fruit and vegetable industry as compared with seventy-two in 1946, the employment total rose to 5,940, a record high figure in this industry and a substantial increase from 5,245 female employees reported for the previous year. With a pay-roll of $154,875 in salaries and wages for the week under review, the average weekly earnings per employee increased to $26.07, up from $22.80 in 1946 and $20.87 reported for 1945. Continued decrease was noted in weekly hours of work in this industry, the 1947 average again registering a further decline to 40.20, as against 42.97 recorded in 1946. Transportation Industry (Female).

Female workers remaining in occupations of this nature worked longer hours, but received higher wages in 1947, the average weekly earnings rising to $19.27, compared with $15.89 noted for 1946. Average weekly hours worked for the period reported was 40.74, increased from an average figure of 36.96 for workers in this occupation during the previous year. Public Places of Amusement (Female) .

J 55 This classification includes workers employed as theatre ushers, check-room attendants, and in occupations of a similar nature in connection with swimming-pools, bowling-alleys, and all such public places of amusement. With an increase in the number of firms reporting for 1947, employment in occupations of this kind rose to 500 from 283 reported for the previous year. Inasmuch as the nature of the work is such that employment in this occupation is necessarily on a part-time basis, hours of work and earnings are relatively lower than in other occupations and should not be considered as representative of a full week's work. Based on the hours worked, the average weekly earnings in this section increased to $13.58, as against $10.46 reported for the previous year. Average hours worked in this classification for the week reported was 25.47, compared with 24.76 recorded for the previous year. Summary of all Occupations (" Female Minimum Wage Act "). 1947. 1946. 1945. 1944. 1943. 7,850 61,442 $1,445,179.00 $23.52 38.33 7,882 55,332 $1,165,503.65 $21.06 39.42 8,061 59,176 $1,197,888.63 $20.24 39.94 7,289 60,410 $1,267,702.31 $20.98 40.84 6,894 Total number of employees 54,905 $989,392.74 $18.02 41.03 Summarized in the above table are returns from some 7,850 firms reporting actual figures concerning 61,442 women and girl employees for the year 1947. Aggregate salaries and wages totalled for one week during 1947 amounted to $1,445,179, an increase of $279,675.35 over the reported total for a similar weekly period in 1946. Average weekly earnings for all occupations as shown in the summary table increased to $23.52 from $21.06 previously reported, to set a new high in the record of earnings for all females included in the survey. It is again evident from the summary that the average earnings of female workers continues to exceed the highest minimum set by law. While for the period reported the legal minimum rates fixed by Orders of the Board ranged from $17, the lowest, as set for the mercantile industry, to $20.16 for a forty-eight-hour week in the telephone and telegraph occupation, it can be seen that the average earnings for female employees are well above this level. With increased employment, higher wages, and better working conditions, improvement is also noted in the average weekly hours of work. As shown in the summary table, the average figure covering the 61,442 employees reported further declined from 39.42 in 1946 to 38.33 for the year under review. Figures contained in the summary are not inclusive of domestic workers, farm- labourers, or fruit-pickers, these occupations being excluded from coverage by the provisions of the " Female Minimum Wage Act." The total 61,442 females reported is inclusive only of those workers engaged in industries or occupations for which minimum wage Orders have been set by the Board. Federal workers and bank employees are also excluded from the coverage of the Provincial legislation. J 56 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR. Table showing Comparative Relation of 1947 Earnings to Legal Minimum.

The above table includes comparative data relating to female workers in the various occupational classifications covered, showing the number of firms reporting and employment represented in each classification, together with the average weekly earnings. A comparison is presented between the legal minimum weekly wage set in each instance and the actual average weekly earnings recorded for the year 1947. The actual earnings are also expressed as percentages in excess of the legal minimum which applies in each occupation. It will be noted that the average weekly earnings for females in all the occupations covered ($23.52) was 38.35 per cent, in excess of the lowest legal minimum shown in the table. INSPECTIONS AND WAGE ADJUSTMENTS. During the year 1947 several Inspectors were added to the staff of. the Board in order that greater attention could be paid to the matter of routine inspections of pay-rolls, etc. The increase in new businesses and the high degree of employment in the Province had made it impossible for a few Inspectors in every instance to give the required attention to enforcement of the Board's Orders and regulations and at the same time keep the employers and employees advised of their responsibilities in connection with the legislation administered by the Department. Due no doubt to the increase in the inspection staff and also to the increase in the number of businesses operating in the Province, the number of investigations made during the year 1947 showed a substantial increase over those made in 1946. A summary of investigations and collections of arrears of wages owed to employees is outlined hereunder. It should be noted that during the year 1947, through the efforts of the Inspectors of the Department and with the co-operation of the employers, employees were paid in arrears of wages approximately eight times the amount paid during the year 1946.

Provision is made in the majority of the Orders of the Board for a graduated scale of wages that apply to inexperienced employees for whose employment permits in writing have been obtained from the Board. In the majority of cases there is a six months' learning period for inexperienced employees, during which period they receive periodic increases until at the expiration of the learning period they are qualified for the minimum wage payable to experienced employees. During the year 1947 there was a slight decrease in the number of special licences issued by the Department compared with those issued during 1946, but those issued in 1947 were still considerably in excess of the licences issued in 1945. During the year 1945 only 217 special licences were issued, and it is possible that one of the reasons for the substantial increase in the licences issued has been the upward revision of minimum wage-rates provided in the Board's Orders. The following table shows the number of licences issued in the various lines of work in 1947, 1946, and 1945:— 1947. Telephone and telegraph Personal service Hairdressing 6 Laundry 34 Mercantile 245 Office -. 173 Hotel and catering 231 Manufacturing 357 Household furniture 21 Totals 1,067 1946. 1945. 1 218 6 272 16 270 26 345 43 153 125 1,258 217 STATISTICS FOR MALE EMPLOYEES. Information reported in that section of the statistical tables dealing with the employment and earnings of female workers is based on a questionnaire restricted to female employees only. From industrial classifications dealt with elsewhere in this report, however, a segregation has been made to isolate male employees in occupations included in the coverage of the "Male Minimum Wage Act" for the purpose of presenting the following tables. While it has not been possible to obtain from this source separate information for all occupations covered by the male minimum wage Orders, the tables serve to show the trend of wages and employment in some of the more important occupations covered. The information presented in the tables is based on industrial returns covering wage-earners only, as reported for the week of employment of the greatest number. Baking Industry (Male).

Unless a permit has been granted to the employer by the Minister of Labour or a person duly authorized by him to issue such permits, the employment of children under 15 years of age in certain designated occupations or industries is prohibited by the " Control of Employment of Children Act."

Permits are issued only when it has been established that the child's health will not suffer, that the work will not expose the boy or girl to unsafe conditions or interfere with their standing at school. The Schedule to the Act specifies and defines the occupations or industries for which permits are required. These include:— (1) Manufacturing industry. (2) Ship-building industry. (3) Generation of electricity or motor-power of any kind. (4) Logging industry. (5) Construction industry. (6) Catering industry. (7) Public places of amusement. (8) Mercantile industry. (9) Shoe-shine stands. (10) Automobile service-stations. (11) Transportation industry.

Branch Office 570 Seymour Street, Vancouver, B.C. Senior Conciliation Officer W. Fraser. Assistant Registrar R. G. Clements. James Thomson, Esq., Deputy Minister of Labour, Parliament Buildings, Victoria, B.C. Sir,—Submitted herewith is the ninth annual report of the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Branch for the year ended December 31st, 1947. On May 15th, 1947, the " Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act, 1947," became law; the agreement between the Dominion of Canada and this Province, in effect since April 18th, 1944, concerning the administration of the Wartime Labour Relations Regulations (P.C. 1003) terminated, and the " Wartime Labour Relations Regulations Act, 1944," was repealed.* Thus ended a four-year association with the Federal authorities, during which time the staff of the Wartime Labour Relations Board (British Columbia), under the direction of the Honourable George Pearson, Minister of Labour (who discharged the functions of the Board), handled a total of 3,083 cases, which exceeded the total number of cases dealt with by all other Provinces, t This report is therefore descriptive of the activities of this Branch under the provisions of the " Wartime Labour Relations Regulations Act" from January 1st to May 15th, and under the provisions of the " Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act, 1947," from that date to December 31st. The Minister of Labour discharged the functions of the Labour Relations Board under the provisions of the new legislation. (For principal features of this legislation, see Annual Report, Department of Labour, 1946, pages 36 to 38.) WORK OF THE BRITISH COLUMBIA BOARD. The number of cases dealt with during the year is but two less than the total for 1946 (1946, 1,207 cases; 1947, 1,205 cases). There were 945 applications for certification dealt with, as compared to 1,014 in 1946. However, 672 certificates of bargaining authority were granted, as compared with 670 the preceding year. Of the total of 945 applications for certification, 672 were granted, 135 rejected, 78 withdrawn, and 60 were being investigated at the year's end. Additionally, there were 28 representative votes conducted, 163 investigations by Conciliation Officers, 30 Conciliation Boards established, 4 strike votes supervised, 8 appointments of Referees, 3 grievance procedures provided, 3 Industrial Inquiry Commissions established, and 21 prosecutions instituted. * The " Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act, 1947," was amended in April, 1948. A summary of these amendments appears upon page 41 of this Report. tin 1944, 922 cases; in 1945, 686 cases; in 1946, 1,064 cases; and in 1947, 411 cases. REPORT OF DEPUTY MINISTER, 1947. J 111 Table I. Summary of Cases dealt with. Number of applications dealt with 945 Certifications granted 672 Applications— Rejected f 135 Withdrawn 78 Being investigated as at December 31st 60 Representative votes conducted 28 Investigations by Conciliation Officers 163 Conciliation Boards established 30 Strike votes supervised 4 Referee appointments 8 Grievance procedures provided 3 Industrial Inquiry Commissions 3 Prosecutions instituted by Department 21 1,205 CONCILIATION PROCEDURE, 1947. Both the Wartime Labour Relations Regulations and the " Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act, 1947," provided for the utilization of conciliation machinery whereby an attempt might be made to settle disputes arising out of negotiations for a collective agreement, or negotiations for the renewal of a collective agreement. Both Statutes provided that the employer or bargaining representatives could apply to the Minister for the services of a Conciliation Officer if the interested parties had negotiated for a collective agreement, and believed that such an agreement could not be concluded within a reasonable time. A Conciliation Officer was thereupon instructed to assist the parties. If he failed, it was his duty to report to the Minister, and he could state that, in his opinion, an agreement might be facilitated by the appointment of a Board of Conciliation. Each of the disputant parties was thereupon required to nominate one person to membership upon the Board. These two nominees were asked to select a third member and chairman. If they were unable to agree, the appointment was made by the Minister. The Board, when constituted, was provided with a statement of the matters in dispute, and endeavoured to bring the parties together. Under the provisions of P.C. 1003, the Board reported its findings to the Federal Minister of Labour. In conformity with the provisions of the Provincial legislation, the Board reported to the Minister of Labour for British Columbia. Thereafter, these reports we_% transmitted to the interested parties. Under the provisions of both Statutes, strikes and lockouts were prohibited until the parties were given an opportunity of accepting or rejecting the report of the Board. Provision was made in the " Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act, 1947," for a pre-strike vote in the case of employees, and a pre-lockout vote in instances where more than one employer was affected, and that such votes were to be under the supervision of the Minister or his appointee. During the year there were 106 conciliation cases, involving approximately 48,894 employees and 434 employers. Fifty-eight cases were settled by Conciliation Officers, thirty-five were referred to Boards of Conciliation, and four were withdrawn. Other cases were terminated by strike action, or negotiations were discontinued at the request of the parties. In considering these figures and reading Table II following, it should be noted :— (1) A group of employers in an industry, negotiating with the same labour organization, and with the assistance of one Conciliation Officer, are listed together for convenience. J 112 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR. (2) An organization or association of employers, negotiating on behalf of more than one employer with one labour organization, is listed as one employer. The figures in parentheses indicate the number of employers represented in each instance. REPORT OF DEPUTY MINISTER, 1947.

The record for 1947 shows that though there were four more strikes than in 1946 (1946, 21; 1947, 25), the number of man-days lost, employers and employees affected sharply diminished. During the year under review there were 25 strikes, involving approximately 6,386 employees, 65 employers, and causing a loss of 153,168 working-days. In the preceding year there were 21 strikes, involving approximately 40,014 employees, 524 employers, and causing a loss of 1,294,174 working-days. Table IV. Summary of Disputes commencing in 1947.

A lockout, or an industrial condition that is undeniably a lockout, is rarely encountered, and lockouts and strikes are therefore recorded together in the statistical tables. The term " dispute " refers to either strike or lockout. The figures shown are inclusive of all disputes which have come to the attention of the Department. While methods taken to procure this information preclude the possibility of serious omission, revisions are sometimes made in the light of later information. Estimates of time lost are computed by multiplying the number of days a dispute lasts by the number of employees directly affected and not replaced. The summaries include only the record of time lost by workers directly involved. The following table shows the trend of industrial disputes from 1937 to 1947. REPORT OF DEPUTY MINISTER, 1947.

EMPLOYERS' AND EMPLOYEES' ORGANIZATIONS. Certain information has been required of associations of employees or trade-union locals pursuant to section 5a of the " Department of Labour Act." This return requires the name and address of the organization, its affiliation (if any), and its total paid-up membership to the date of return. Members over three months in arrears are not included in this figure. The inclusion of the name of any organization does not constitute its recognition as a " labour organization " within the meaning of the " Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act, 1947." Such a determination lies to the Labour Relations Board (British Columbia). Every care is taken to ensure accuracy in all returns by the Bureau of Economics and Statistics working in conjunction with this Branch in this compilation. Revisions may be made, however, in the light of later information. Table VII. Number of Employees' Organizations making Returns and Membership thereof, 1939-47. Year. Number of Organizations.

Post-office addresses of the officers are the same as the heading under which they appear, unless otherwise stated. The list of employers' organizations follows that of the employees'. Returns in this category numbered twenty-five in 1939 and 1940, twenty-seven in 1941, thirty-two in 1942, thirty-four in 1943, thirty-six in 1944, and thirty-seven in 1945, 1946, and 1947.

REPORT OF DEPUTY MINISTER, 1947. J 147 INSPECTION OF FACTORIES. Vancouver, B.C., June 14th, 1948. Mr. James Thomson, Deputy Minister of Labour, Parliament Buildings, Victoria, B.C. Sir,—I herewith submit the annual report of the Factories Inspection Branch for the year 1947. The decline in heavy production, from record heights established during the war years, while still in effect in some degree, was rapidly being overcome by increasing industrial activity, stimulated by the demand of a peace-time economy. The many large expansion programmes designed by large industrial concerns, to overcome the demands created by war-time shortages, brought added employment in the construction, food-products manufacturing, and lumber industries. While these production demands had necessitated an unprecedented volume of employment in many essential industries during 1947, a gradual decrease in both male and female employment was evident, particularly in the heavy construction industries, ship-building, metal trades, and industries of a like nature. Aside from these temporary adjustments, the outlook was promising for 1948, and optimism was reported to prevail amongst business-men in general, who did not foresee any recession in 1948 according to the most recent survey, although a general shortage of labour and skilled mechanics at least as great as that during 1947 was expected to prevail. The department of factory inspection is charged with the inspection of all factories as defined in Schedule A of the " Factories Act," all passenger and freight elevators wherever located, and all laundries operated for profit regardless of whether anyone is employed or not. When we visit a plant, it is not usually by appointment, as we desire to observe the average working conditions. Whether our visits will prove beneficial to both employer and employees will depend largely on the amount of interest shown in the adoption of our recommendations. The knowledge acquired through interviews with the employees and executives respecting the causes leading to an accident enables us to explain to the management of a plant of a like nature just how an injury was received by a workman in another plant, in order that corrective measures may be taken to prevent a similar accident. It should be remembered that the workmen in industrial occupations have no voice in the location of a plant, the sort of machinery to be used, the tools they are supplied with, the form of lighting, etc. These matters are controlled by the management. It is only reasonable then to expect the management to discharge its responsibilities to its employees by seeing that the equipment installed is properly protected before being placed in operation. INSPECTIONS. During the year 1947, 1,481 inspections and reinspections of factories were made. ACCIDENT-PREVENTION. The increase in industrial activity has led to corresponding increase in the interest taken in industrial accident-prevention. Adjustments of the labour market to a peace-time basis continued during the year, as married women in large number withdrew from the labour force, and many single women, upon the completion of demobilization, finding themselves being replaced by ex-service men, married and turned to the establishment of homes. J 148 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR. Confidence prevails, but lack of equipment has been the major delaying factor in launching many additional expansions which had been contemplated in the field of industrial activity. As this equipment becomes available, much of the out-of-date or worn-out equipment, including buildings, will be replaced, which will mean additional employment in factories, mills, and workshops. The prevention of factory accidents has very properly focused attention on their principal causes — ignorance, carelessness, unsuitable clothing, insufficient lighting, defective machinery and structure, absence of safeguards, etc. Ignorance can never be entirely overcome, and this applies with equal force to carelessness, which, of course, can never be wholly eradicated from human behaviour. At the same time the ill results of both ignorance and carelessness can be largely diminished by means suggested if they are consistently and persistently applied. The old saying that " familiarity breeds contempt " nowhere finds greater proof than in the carelessness arising from daily proximity to machines, or conditions involving risk. A man working in a factory day after day places himself unconsciously in numerous situations involving chances of accident, which he would take pains to avoid except that he has become so used to his environment that he hardly gives it a thought. The evil effects of this condition of mind can be held to the lowest limits, largely through the action of the employer, in furnishing rules and caution signs, and also in supplying, in many instances, simple protective arrangements, which may serve chiefly to call attention to the existence of danger. Such an arrangement may not prevent the careless workman from ever going to the danger spot, but its presence there is apt to reawaken his mind to the danger every time he approaches, with the result that he is more careful than he otherwise would be to avoid an accident. Although there are parts of working machinery that cannot be safeguarded by any known appliance and though the employees engaged in operating machinery know of these unguarded parts, some of them will nevertheless perform their labours in a way that borders on criminal negligence. To place a ladder upon a revolving shaft and mount thereon to adjust a belt, to crawl under machinery in motion, to reach across dangerous parts of machinery in motion, to work in baggy sleeves or with flying tresses of hair about dangerous gearing and shafting, to adjust belts upon rapidly revolving wheels, to carelessly hook up or bend weighty objects about to be lifted, to speed overhead cranes, giving no danger signal to their fellow workmen, are fair samples of oft-repeated acts of negligence upon the part of employees. Rings, bracelets, and wrist-watches also worn by workers are a source of danger and should be discouraged, particularly around electric or mechanical equipment, as many minor accidents have resulted in severe injury when these adornments have prevented a quick release of the hands. The wearing of unsuitable clothing is a matter which is largely within the control of the employer, and to which he should give his serious attention. This is particularly essential in the case of female employees. Regulations re female factory employees became law in this Province on the 11th day of May, 1945; with the great increase in the number of women employed in manufacturing plants during the war, the real need for appropriate female apparel became apparent. Although basically similar in materials, to the protective clothing for men, full safety and comfort for women in industry demanded that clothes be designed for their physical characteristics and requirements. The end of the abnormal war-time conditions has resulted in an exodus of the feminine contingent from war-credited jobs. However, there still remains in industry the great number of women who have traditionally formed a part of manufacturing personnel, and those who have demonstrated during the war years their special aptitudes for certain types of work. For these working-women the war-borne REPORT OF DEPUTY MINISTER, 1947. J 149 awareness of their needs remains, and with it the readily available equipment which can better protect them from injury, discomfort, and fatigue. One of the most significant developments is protective head-gear. Women's hair, because of its length and the fullness of hair-do styles, is especially susceptible to becoming entangled in rotating machinery or moving belts and to being ignited by stray sparks or flames. Women's caps consequently should be designed to enclose the hair completely and hold it compact. The head-gear should not interfere with the wearing of shields, goggles, respirators, or other safety equipment, and should be tightly woven to exclude dust and dirt. In cases other than handling of explosive materials, a wider mesh net may be satisfactory if the air is not contaminated by particular matter. Other equipment which has been devised for the protection of women, or specially adopted from men's styles of clothing, include breast-protectors, hard hats, gloves and mittens, foot-guards, safety-clothing, and safety-shoes. Accidents due to defects of machinery and structure cannot be entirely prevented, for things will wear out or give way unexpectedly, but they can be reduced very much by frequent inspection and prompt repairs whenever such are necessary. Insufficient lighting, insufficient room, and uncleanly conditions or bad housekeeping are all important essentials for a well-regulated factory, as accidents are far more frequent in crowded factories than those which are roomy; especially should there be plenty of room around machinery notoriously dangerous, and around vats, pans, etc., containing dangerous material such as is used in chemical and many other works. The practice of allowing waste material or tools to litter the floor where there is danger of employees tripping over them or being injured by a fall or being thereby precipitated into dangerous spots, which otherwise he could have avoided, when floors must necessarily be slippery, firm footing should be secured to employees by means of sand or suitable mats. It is perhaps needless to lay stress on the advisability of an abundant supply of good air in an industrial plant; not only is this necessary from the standpoint of the employee's health, but it is essential to the prevention of accidents. Workmen who labour in an unhealthful atmosphere cannot help thereby suffering a loss of the alertness, both mental and physical, which would be an invaluable aid to them in avoiding accidents or lessening its ill results. The loss is similar, and in only less degree, to that caused by the fatigue due to overwork, which statistics have proved to be a cause of accidents; every effort should be made by systems of ventilation as well as by methods of construction to ensure the presence of plenty of pure air in all places where industrial operations are carried on. We now come to perhaps the most important thing which an employer can do to make his workmen as safe as possible—the providing of adequate safeguards for specific operations and conditions which are dangerous. As all machinery is to a greater or less degree dangerous, so long as machinery is used, which will be to the end of time, accidents will occur in connection with it. The employer is the custodian of the person of his employ during such time as the latter is engaged in his service, and it is the employer's duty to protect his employees from injury as far as possible and by all reasonable means. It must be taken for granted that the employee will become careless at times. No one is infallible. But the number of accidents due to carelessness can be very materially diminished if the machinery and surroundings are made safe. The best time to provide safeguards for a machine is while the machine is being manufactured or built, and in this regard, we are pleased to note, with the increasing appreciation of the need for safeguarding operators, many machine-builders have incorporated safety devices as integral parts of their products. There is an ever- J 150 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR. increasing trend in this direction. Where machinery is not so guarded, it falls upon the user to make it safe by patented devices or by home-made safeguards; the case is rare where some home-made guard cannot be devised which will be thoroughly effective. The important thing is, does the protector protect? If it does, the requirement is filled. For these reasons there can be no relaxation of safety precautions. Instead, there should be an increase in safety measures—better education of all workers on this important subject and an increase in the use of adequate safeguards on machines. The furnishing of safeguards will not assure the prevention of accidents unless the employees co-operate fully, willingly, or otherwise in the effort to protect them. Employees should feel that whatever is done in the way of providing safeguards is designed for their benefit, and they should not be permitted to remove or wilfully destroy them, nor should they consider that the provision of safeguards for machines which they have been accustomed to operate unguarded is a reflection on their ability or skill, or is an interference with their work. A great number of safeguards must necessarily be removed for the purposes of adjusting, cleaning, or oiling, and it should be insisted that they be replaced immediately after the completion of such work. If a safeguard is provided for a dangerous machine and work is then done without the safeguard in place, there might just as well be no safeguard. It is not sufficient to provide guards. Their proper use must be enforced, and all workers should be educated in matters relating to industrial safety. New workmen should be taught how to do this work efficiently and safely, and all workmen should be kept constantly aware of the accident-prevention regulations applicable to their particular work. Instructing workmen how to do their work safely is part of the work of the superintendent, supervisor, foreman, or other person in charge of each group of workmen; by virtue of their knowledge, their position as leaders, and their close contact with their workmen, they can give each workman direct instruction and supervision in everyday safety practice that apply to individual tools, machines, and processes, and should be responsible by the employer for the enforcement of the regulations and the elimination of dangerous practice. The person in charge of work should be chosen with regard to his ability to organize, supervise, and educate his workmen in the principles of safety, and individual workmen should be assigned to jobs to which they are physically and mentally suited. By following a policy of rigid adherence to safety rules and safe practices, you will reduce the number of accidents, which means a reduction in cost of compensation, medical aid, material, and damaged equipment. The development of a safety consciousness amongst workmen is one of the most important factors in accident-prevention in employment, in which an accident- prevention committee is required, and the members of that committee should be given every encouragement to foster safety in industry. As few accidents result from faulty equipment, greater stress should be placed on safe working methods and the inculcation of safe working practices. Successful accident-prevention work in industry depends on the interest created in safety by the supervising personnel. Information on safety matters can be imparted effectively to workmen, and this is important if maximum effectiveness is to be secured, by safety-signs, inserts in pay-roll envelopes, articles in plant publications, short addresses, and greater use of the bulletin-board, and by using visual aid in promoting safety education by the use of moving pictures and slide films. " Seeing is believing ": to see something makes a much more direct impression than to hear about it or to read about it; if the two senses " seeing " and " hearing " are used to supplement each other, greater attention and understanding are secured. REPORT OF DEPUTY MINISTER, 1947. J 151 The use of moving pictures and sound slide films for the imparting of knowledge and instructing is to show safe and proper methods of procedure in various industries and occupations, adequate measures for safeguarding machinery, and in general to impart knowledge of the principles governing safe methods of work. Facts and figures, including information as to the causes of the accidents in any plant, are useful in bringing home to workmen how accidents occur, and how they can be avoided. An interested management, co-operating with a live accident-prevention committee or with the persons charged with accident-prevention matters in the plant, can do much to stimulate constant vigilance on the part of every workman. The Inspectors of the Factories Inspection Branch, Department of Labour, who inspect plants from time to time, should be regarded as friendly advisers, endeavouring to assist employers and workmen in curtailing the needless human suffering and waste resulting from industrial accidents. LIGHTING FOR SAFETY. Industrial operations are now performed at closer tolerance than ever before, imposing a greater visual task upon the eyes, with the result that much more illumination is necessary for a job if good quality and quantity is to be safely achieved. Blindfold even the most skilled mechanic and he is practically helpless. Any piece of work he attempts to do will doubtless be spoiled, and furthermore he may injure himself or some other worker. Workers in poorly lighted factories are, in effect, practically blindfolded. Many manufacturers who supply their employees with the best of tools and equipment fail to consider the importance of the worker's eyes and the handicap of poor lighting. The efficiency of the worker determines the efficiency of the machine, and adequate illumination is an essential factor both in high operating efficiency and preventing accidents. Eye-strain, ease and speed of vision are important, and poor illumination influences production more than illness. Good lighting not only increases production efficiency and decreases the hazard of accidents, but also has a great deal to do with the worker's health, comfort, and happiness. There are definite factors of health to be considered in the problem of illumination. Too little light or too much light both lead to eye-strain and fatigue. Many chronic headaches may be due to working under poor lighting conditions. The relation of poor illumination to fatigue and ill-health is best appreciated by analysing strain and initiative caused by work under glare or insufficient light. The cost of poor lighting is significant too. It appears in the form of slowed production, excessive spoilage, poor and uncertain inspections, and an increased accident-frequency. Adequate daylight illumination properly applied is the ideal light. Diagonal light from above is generally better than from side windows only. Skylights and monitor windows should be provided whenever possible. Saw-tooth roofs with window areas facing the north are usually less glaring than flat sklights if processes are arranged so the workers do not face window area. Large window areas equipped, where necessary, with awnings, window shades or blinds, and diffusive or reflective glass, when not in direct line of vision, together with light-coloured interiors, are desirable in every work-place. Artificial light is required in factories and shops about 20 to 50 per cent, of the total working-hours, not including overtime or night-work. When night-work is carried on, the artificial lighting problem must receive added consideration, and with the many new improvements and developments in illumination, it is now possible to J 152 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR. obtain satisfactory lighting in any industry with equipment that is economical, reliable, and safe. The basic requirements are adequate illumination for every man in the shop, with lighting equipment selected and installed to avoid eye-strain, with lights placed to avoid sharp shadows on important parts of work, and lamps equipped with reflecting and diffusing devices to soften shadows and avoid glare. An installation giving a general distribution of illumination throughout the area wherever possible thereby avoids the use of individual lights, except where the severity of the visual task dictates their use. Industrial lights must fit the particular job; fixtures installed here and there by maintenance-men without knowledge of illumination factors may defeat their own purpose by producing glare or sharp contrasting zones. The evenness of illumination from an overhead system is governed almost entirely by the relation of the spacing between units to their height above the floor. The location of outlets determines how uniformly the light will be distributed over an area. Laying out of outlets should be governed by the arrangements of columns, beams, and other construction details, always keeping within the limits of spacing as dictated by the ceiling-height or height at which the lamps may be mounted. Since the walls and ceilings receive a great amount of light from reflectors, it is important that these surfaces be finished in a light flat colour, so that the illumination is diffused and reflected where it will reach the working area in the shop. Dark colours, such as dark green, reds, or oak shades, absorb a large percentage of light. Where such finishes exist, faulty designing of lighting system is frequently and unjustly blamed for insufficient illumination. To get most of the useful light from a system, the surface above eye-level should be covered with a good flat white paint. One should avoid the use of high glosses or enamels, as they produce glare and eye-strain. To renew the painted surface, the walls should be washed with a sponge, using plenty of cold water and soft soap; starting at the top and working downward, the surface should be washed evenly and thoroughly to avoid streaking. This also applies to windows and skylights in factories and shops, as these in time become covered with dirt and dust, and the natural light is often decreased below the level needed for safety and efficiency. Thus regular window-cleaning should be a part of the routine of every establishment. FACTORY CONDITIONS. Outstanding progress has been made during the past year in providing many fine factory buildings to house some of the industries of this Province. The modern trend developed in these new factories is a credit to management, from not only a production standpoint, but a milestone has been reached in providing excellent working conditions for the employees. Some of the features that constitute definite improvement in modern factory design are worth noting. You find a flood of natural light, and sunshine at times, pouring through ample, well-placed windows. Between this and improved ventilation, which is also receiving scientific attention in modern factories' architecture, an outside atmosphere is being introduced into the working area of factories. It is to be noted that the washing facilities for workmen are also showing marked improvement in design. Household wash-basins are being replaced with modern industrial spray trough-basins. Consequently employees need not wait in line for a wash before lunch and before leaving the plant in the afternoon. Where large crews are employed, necessary speed-up has long last been made possible by practical designing of the factory. Time will no doubt see these and many other new features that could be mentioned introduced into our factories. But in the meantime if continued progress REPORT OF DEPUTY MINISTER, 1947. J 153 is made in introducing the methods already available for ventilation, sanitation, heating, and catering in more plants, better working conditions will abound for the benefit of all concerned. EMPLOYEES' WELFARE. As industries are very often located a considerable distance from the homes of workmen, and as shorter lunch-hour periods are becoming more prevalent, the lunch- carrying container is much in evidence. Not long ago it was not unusual to see the workmen eating their lunch beside the machines they operated and in an environment anything but appealing. The progressive employer of to-day has, at considerable expense, constructed dining-rooms for both male and female employees, where hot meals are served at a nominal charge for those who desire them. The worker who brings his or her lunch is privileged to use the dining-room and consume the homemade lunch to the accompaniment of music or news broadcasts. Morning and afternoon rest periods throughout many industries have now become the general practice. The Factories Inspection Branch of the Department of Labour has, over the years, been instrumental in securing improved conditions for the employees, and we note with pleasure, between inspection visits, each succeeding year has witnessed voluntary (employer) improvement in connection with their welfare activities, as it is now generally recognized that good working conditions increase efficiency and do much to improve employer and employee relations. PERSONAL HYGIENE AND SANITATION. Wash-room Sanitation. Adequate sanitary facilities are a primary requisite for all industrial establishments and also for all types of buildings where people work or live for any length of time. These facilities help maintain high health standards and may counteract to a large degree the unhealthful or hazardous working conditions to which personnel may be exposed. Equally important is the lift to morale produced by this demonstrated awareness of management responsibility for the welfare of the employees. This Department is vitally concerned with those facilities which should be provided for the workers during their non-productive time spent at the place of employment; it includes not only those items necessary for biological or sanitary reasons, such as toilets and lavatory devices, but also those facilities which add to the comfort and convenience of workers which are deemed essential by the nature of the occupation, such as lockers and shower-room equipment. It should be noted that persons exposed to toxic, caustic, or explosive materials should be supplied with double lockers, and that in addition to the above group, persons exposed to heat should have adequate shower facilities. If, however, wash-, locker-, and shower-room facilities are not maintained in a clean attractive manner, employees will be discouraged from taking advantage of them, and the very purpose of the installation will have been defeated. Equipment and supplies for the maintenance of these areas should also attract the attention of progressive management. Plant and Building Maintenance. Unclean and insanitary conditions in any part of a building are much more serious than being simply disagreeable. Wash and toilet rooms offer an excellent opportunity for the spread of infectious diseases among personnel. Ordinary dust also contains an abundance of germs and can aggravate pulmonary diseases. Health and morale maintenance are not the only considerations which demand good building maintenance. Dust and grime constitute a serious fire-hazard, especially in the presence of electrical machinery. In hazardous locations the mere presence of a J 154 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR. dangerous atmosphere may be the cause of an explosion. Plant-maintenance materials are not adequate measures alone for the control of explosive dusts, but neither should the necessity for using these materials be overlooked in providing safe protection. Aside from the deteriorating effects of dust in machinery, the psychological factor involved in plant cleanliness must not be disregarded. Clean surroundings encourage similar good housekeeping in the use of tools and equipment and care in the actual working operation. On the negative side, neglect of thorough cleaning may lead to the employees also disregarding their responsibilities, resulting in a loss of production and increase in the accident-rate. Floor-maintenance materials and equipment are used for the preservation of sound, clean, and safe underfoot conditions. The advantages of scientific and thorough maintenance are reflected in increased efficiency, economy, production, and serviceableness of the plant or building. No less important factors are those concerned with personal and general safety. Most maintenance equipment, such as brooms, brushes, mop, sweeping or maintenance machine, cleaner, resurfacer, sealer, etc., is intended as a means of keeping floor surfaces clean. They thereby contribute to the physical well-being of personnel by eliminating breeding-places for germs and vermin by removing unhealthful or nuisance dusts, by providing a lighter working area, and by removing harmful materials. Of still greater importance is the reduction in accidents, which the use of these materials promotes. Floor maintenance prevents the falls caused by broken, worn, slippery, wet, or oily surfaces. It eliminates the possibility of bodily injury from contact with sharp or caustic materials hidden in dust, dirt, or litter, and it reduces the hazard of truck- loaded materials being jarred loose by uneven flooring surfaces. The general maintenance equipment, and also the specialized materials like oil absorbents and conductive coatings, contributes to the reduction of fire-hazards by removing unnecessary inflammable substances or the means of igniting necessary inflammable materials. Finally, lane-marking machines promote safety by clearly defining the working, storage, and traffic areas. CHILD EMPLOYMENT. War-time conditions that may have shown a trend toward the development of child employment have now subsided, it would appear, to a negligible number of authorized children working during the year. Before a child's employment in a factory is authorized, the conditions of employment are investigated in order that the child's safety and health will not be endangered. In the cases investigated during 1947, it has been gratifying to note the genuine interest taken by employers to ensure that young applicants are well placed, and their safety has, in all cases dealt with, been given primary importance by this Department. It is not a matter of the actual job being safe, but ensuring that the operation as a whole does not present any hazards that may affect the child's safety or health. As our " Public Schools Act " requires boys and girls to remain at school until they become 15 years of age, we work in close co-operation with the educational authorities in checking applications for employment of children, especially when they are seeking jobs while school is in session. Some are usually for a few hours after school and on Saturday, although the odd request is received for full-time work. It is in the latter case that a most searching inquiry is made. In some very few instances, where it is deemed by the school officials that the child would be better off at work than at school, employment permits have been issued. When parents and children are interviewed, every effort is made to induce them to have the boy or girl carry on with his or her education to, or beyond, the compulsory school age. Fortunately, most parents realize the advantage of giving their children this important start in life. REPORT OF DEPUTY MINISTER, 1947. J 155 Employers appear in no way prone to take advantage of child labour, but take considerable pains to fully acquaint the applicant with his or her assignment by personal interest and instruction. This, to a good degree, ensures not only the likelihood of building up the requisites of good workmanship, but also goes a long way in providing the child with the prospects of longer service, thereby decreasing the possibility of becoming an industrial casualty at a young age. We desire to record our appreciation of the generous co-operation extended by industry in general, parents and children, the school authorities, the Unemployment Insurance Commission, the interested public, and all those who have assisted in the enforcement of an Act to control the employment of children. INDUSTRIAL HOME-WORK. Since legislation was drawn up covering home-work pertaining to industry, generally employer and home-worker make application to our Department for authorization before engaging in this. In addition to making yearly reinspections in connection with renewal applications (employer and home-work permits expire each calendar year), we also make additional inspections and investigations as requests are received. In most cases when making a home investigation and inspection, we are questioned as to the necessity of our regulations. We explain that if this work were permitted without approval and permission, there would be no control over hours, wages, conditions, etc. In this way the home-worker could easily be exploited, unfair business competition would result, and the public would not have the same protection as if an article were made in our modern up-to-date factories where healthy working conditions are known to prevail. When the hourly factory wage was recently increased, the home- workers received the benefit accordingly. In order to be sure, we contacted each employer and received definite assurance of this. During the year 1947, as materials became more plentiful for drapery and loose- cover work, it became increasingly difficult for employers to procure skilled operators, and we then received several requests to employ home-workers. In view of this shortage, which was general, a number of permits were issued, after thorough investigation, to women who had previously done this work in factories, and who for some special reason could not leave their homes. One woman who could not leave her home, and to whom we issued a permit, had learned this work when well along in years and was able to augment the small income of the family in this manner. We sometimes receive a request for permission to have work performed in a home which cannot very well be done in the factory, such as some types of hand-sewing, painting, etc. In this connection we have issued several permits, and a young artist to whom we issued a permit to paint on china, glassware, etc., managed to further her musical career through her earnings. One woman who could not leave the home for a special reason was issued a permit to carry on until such time as arrangements could be made whereby she might return to work. We understand that she has now returned to the factory, and, strange to say, it is the factory which was developed by reason of our refusal several years ago to issue an employer's permit together with our suggestion that the work be performed in a factory. This is now one of the largest and most up-to-date of its kind in the Province, and the brand name has become famous all over America. In practically every instance during the past year, investigation revealed the home to be clean, bright, and airy, and the worker a healthy person. There is usually a particular room in the home set aside for this work, fitted up with the necessary equipment, etc. The fullest co-operation is always extended by employer and home-worker, and the necessary information gladly given. J 156 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR. During the year 1947 seven employer and twenty-two home-worker permits were issued. ELEVATORS. Inspection of Freight and Passenger Elevators. There is probably no vehicle of conveyance so indispensable as the elevator. In high public buildings and large mercantile and manufacturing establishments it may be considered an absolute necessity for the transportation of both passengers and freight. An elevator, briefly defined, is a hoisting and lowering mechanism, equipped with a car or platform which moves in guides in a substantially vertical direction. The "Factories Act" being entitled "An Act for the Protection of Persons employed in Factories," the titular expression would indicate that its provisions extend only to persons employed in and around factories. I do not think the public, generally, realize that certain sections are embodied therein delegating to the Department of Labour, through the Factories Inspection Branch, the responsibility of subjecting all passenger- and freight-elevator equipment to a very rigid inspection in order to safeguard the many thousands of persons using this form of conveyance daily, and the enormous amount of freight which must be moved from one level to another. As the rapid skyward growth continues, the importance of the elevator in comparison with other features of the building equipment will become even more marked. Many thousands of persons use elevators every day, and they have a right to assume that all necessary provisions have been made for ensuring safety. Under proper conditions an elevator is safe and reliable for the transfer of freight and passengers, and it does its work with dispatch and smoothness. Serious accidents are frequent, however; some of these result from breakage of defective parts, some from poor or inadequate equipment, some from negligence in the supervision and operation, and some from carelessness on the part of those who ride or who handle the material that is transported. The majority of these accidents may be avoided by the exercising of a reasonable amount of care by the builder, the owner, and the public, as many of those who own and operate elevators, as well as the persons who use them, show a noticeable lack of attention to the things that tend to ensure safety. Once installed, an elevator becomes a fixed feature of the building, and remains in service for a long term of years, usually until the building itself is removed. When a poorly arranged installation has to be considered, much can be accomplished by eliminating its hazardous features and improving the existing appliances before approval is granted, as before new freight elevators, passenger elevators, escalators, or dumbwaiters are installed, or extensive alterations are made to present installations, plans and detailed information shall be submitted to the Chief Inspector of Factories. The plan shall show the following:— (1) Street address of building where elevator is to be installed. (2) Type of elevator. (3) Speed, both " rated " and " maximum." (4) Capacity. (5) Size of car platform. (6) Distance between edge of car platform and landing threshold. (7) Type and manufacture of car-holding safety device. (8) Type and manufacture of governor. (9) Rise of elevator in feet and number of landings or floors. (10) Distance from top landing to under-side of overhead structure. (11) Size and height of pent-house. (12) Size and weight per foot of overhead beams. (13) Distance between supports of overhead beams. (14) Diameter of sheaves and drums. (15) Number, size, and material of cables. (16) Method of roping. (17) Depth of pit. (18) Type of bumper. From this information, specifications are made and placed on file for further reference pending final inspection when installation is complete, if approved. When contemplating the erection of a new building, the elevator problem should be considered at the very outset, even before the first plans are drawn, as it is obviously far more satisfactory and economical to provide suitable standard parts when new equipment is being arranged for. We would strongly urge that owners and architects give careful attention to the subject of security and safety before installing the elevator. The number of persons that will probably have to be served should be estimated on a liberal basis, and the elevator capacity determined with a view of taking care of the full traffic, without undue crowding, and without having to run the elevator at a higher speed than good practice would suggest. The possibility of increasing the height of the building at some future time should also be considered, and provisions should be made in advance for any reasonable change of this kind. It is not easy, as a rule, to put additional elevators in a building that was not designed or constructed with reference to such additions; experience has shown that elevators of moderate speed, sufficient in number to take care of the traffic without crowding, afford the best solution of the problem, and that accidents are more likely to occur when elevators are run too fast. It is only by avoiding errors and defects (that have proved disastrous in the past) that the elevator equipment of the future can be ultimately perfected, and in this connection we wish to state that the adoption of high-grade machinery and shaft-way construction is advisable from every point of view. It is, of course, safer, and it will also result in a saving ultimately, because of the reduced cost of maintenance and repairs. While passenger-elevators are operated by licensed operators, required to first pass a written examination as to their competency, the manner of performing certain operations in connection with the elevator depends to a large extent upon the human element, such as to closing the hoist-way doors and car-gates. Before the licence is issued, we endeavour to make the candidate realize the responsibility of the position and the hazards in connection with the operation of elevators. In order to prevent accidents attributable to many of the unsafe practices which in past years proved a prolific cause of persons receiving major and fatal injuries, mechanical devices in the form of interlocking equipment have now been installed on all hoist-way doors and car-gates of passenger-cars and the hoist-way door or gates of freight-elevators, in compliance with rules and regulations issued under Order in Council, February, 1935. This mechanical device has eliminated at least 80 per cent, of the causes of elevator accidents, and will continue to function as an effective accident-preventive device, as it prevents the operator from moving the car unless the hoist-way doors or gates are closed and in the locked position; if properly maintained and not purposely rendered inoperative, this device has contributed largely to making vertical transportation one of the safest forms of travel. Each succeeding year, additional modern passenger- and freight-elevator equipment is being installed throughout the Province. This is almost exclusively of the traction type, which has safety features not possessed by the drum-type machine which they replace. All elevator installations are required to comply with the standards as specified in the regulations governing installation, operation, and maintenance of freight and J 158 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR. passenger elevators in this Province. It is one of the responsibilities of this Department to periodically inspect this equipment in the interest of the safety of the large number of persons using this form of conveyance. While mechanical safety devices are provided in connection with the installation of any elevator, they are effective only if properly maintained. Inspections reveal at times that very important safety devices have been deliberately rendered ineffective by persons with limited knowledge as to the importance of this safety equipment. However, freedom from accidents in connection with both old and new equipment depends largely on proper maintenance and operation after installation. Inspections at regular intervals have long been recognized as essential to safe operation, and this service is valuable, not only in connection with accident-prevention, but also in providing economy of operation. During the year under review we have, because of the installation of additional passenger-elevator safety provisions, willingly installed by the agent or owners of the building, been able to assist disabled veterans in obtaining employment as licensed elevator operators. We are pleased to report that no fatal or serious injuries were received by any person while being transported on passenger or freight elevators during the year. Elevator Operators' Licences. During the year 1,136 renewal operators' licences were issued and 680 temporary and 539 permanent licences. New Elevator Installations. During the year forty-six plans and specifications relating to the installation of modern elevator equipment were approved. Elevator Inspections. During the year 1,406 inspections and reinspections of freight and passenger elevators were made. CONCLUSION. We wish to take this opportunity of thanking all officials and employees connected with industry for their co-operation with us during the year. Respectfully submitted. R. D.

Hamilton Crisford Director of Apprenticeship. Arthur H. Dugdale Assistant Director. Mr. James Thomson, Deputy Minister of Labour, Parliament Buildings, Victoria, B.C. Sir,—I herewith submit annual report on the development of apprenticeship in British Columbia for the calendar year 1947. On December 31st, 1947, the standing and distribution of apprentices in the various trades and occupations was as follows:— Trade or Occupation. Year of Apprenticeship BEING served. Total Number First. Second. Third. Fourth. Fifth. Apprentices. 69 60 6 10 2 113 2 27 2 30 2 13 1 52 1 4 3 6 2 88 11 18 20 26 1 4 4 105 11 9 30 7 132 1 9 41 14 27 17 2 73 1 5 2 25 8 9 18 24 49 17 46 3 6 4 8 35 5 8 25 5 41 12 56 12 2 1 3 8 4 10 28 26 2 1 4 1 16 11 4 14 13 1 4 4 35 15 6 1 2 9 7 5 13 3 2 16 3 88 2 8 1 12 13 225 71 31 52 9 284 1 16 138 17 57 2 49 7 304 2 36 13 35 23 114 33 60 114 124 8 g 14 13 577 703 289 165 143 1,877 J 160 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR. The occupational distribution of those who have successfully completed their apprenticeship under our present form of regulation stood at the end of the year approximately as follows:— Number fully Occupation covered. trained to Date. Automobile maintenance 192 Boiler-makers 49 Barbers 143 Carpenters 164 Electricians 132 Hairdressers 169 Machinists and fitters 373 Moulders 89 Pharmacists 127 Plumbers 86 Sheet-metal workers 85 Miscellaneous trades 329 1,938 Now that the training of ex-service men under apprenticeship contract is coming to an end and a new system of vocational schools has been approved under which selected lads will obtain pre-apprenticeship training, it will be possible to pay a great deal more attention to trade standards and tests, and it is hoped by this method, with the co-operation of all parties concerned, to raise the standard of competency at the end of a completed period of apprenticeship. It is also hoped that a more careful selection can be maintained of those entering the trades, as considerable difficulty has been encountered in the past in trade training owing to a lack of sufficient basic education. It is anticipated that a number of vocational schools will be in operation in the Province in the year 1949 and that these will be adequately equipped to co-operate in the apprenticeship programme. In this regard and in the general apprenticeship training programme we are receiving strong support from the various industries concerned and from organized labour, and it is fully recognized that the shortage in most trades is the skilled craftsman and that the only way in which these can be produced in sufficient numbers is in the industries themselves under adequate apprenticeship training programme.

Sir,—I herewith submit annual report of the Trade-schools Regulation Branch for the calendar year 1947. The year passed without any major complaint in regard to the operation of registered schools, and all schools have complied with the general regulations under which they are allowed to operate. The following is the list of registered schools:—■ Alexander Hamilton Institute, Ltd., 54 Wellington Street West, Toronto, Ont.: Business training.
