While the general rate of expansion was somewhat moderated by less extensive gains in some industries, a high level of economic activity was maintained throughout the year, with export demands and domestic needs continuing to prove important factors in sustaining the general levels of production. The Provincial estimated payroll continued upward, totalling some $690,000,000 for 1949, an apparent increase of $50,004,021 over the final estimated total of $639,995,979 recorded for 1948. The construction industry forged ahead, to complete its most successful year on record, although some curtailment was noted in the lumber industries, where production was somewhat hampered under extreme winter conditions experienced during a portion of the year. Earnings remained high, with further increases noted in twenty-one of the twenty- five industrial classifications shown in this Report. The average weekly industrial wage figure for all male wage-earners included in the survey reached a new high of $49.21 (an increase of $1.91 over the preceding year) to establish an all-time record of average earnings in this group. Twenty of the twenty-five tables relating to the industrial group showed increased payroll totals for 1949. The construction industry topped all previous records to lead with the greatest increase, up over $6,500,000. Metal-trades industries gained by $4,000,000, while the total covering the group of miscellaneous trades and industries was up over $3,500,000. For others in order of increase, see " Comparison of Payrolls " in Report data. The lumber industry, which had reached an all-time high during 1948, showed decreasing payrolls in 1949, off some $12,300,000 from the peak figure established for the previous year. With the completion of work at hand, and shortages of new contracts, the ship-building and boat-building industry continued to decline, to show a further decrease of over $4,700,000 from the 1948 figure. Pulp and paper manufacturing recorded a drop of over $1,800,000, while lesser decreases were noted in wood manufacturing (N.E.S.), down some $98,000, and smelting and concentrating, off $64,000. Employment totals, which had climbed to peak levels during the previous year, receded somewhat during 1949. Although increases were apparent in thirteen of the twenty-five industrial classifications, lower levels were evident in many industries, some of which had previously shown rising totals for some years past. Decreases were noted in the lumber industries, ship-building and boat-building, pulp and paper manufacturing, oil-refining and distributing, food-products manufacturing, and other sections. The high monthly employment figure for wage-earners in 1949 was recorded at 154,753 in August of that year, compared with a high of 160,002 recorded in the same month of 1948. Little change was noted in the average weekly hours of work, with slight decreases in some industries being offset by minor gains in others. The figure representing the average weekly working-hours for all wage-earners was computed at 42.24, almost unchanged from the figure of 42.21 established in 1948, and identical with the average hours worked in 1947. L 8 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR STATISTICS OF TRADES AND INDUSTRIES Highlighting the changes in the structure of our economy, the gradual adjustment in the levels of industrial production and labour income, and the continued development of our natural resources, the 1949 statistical section records another year of definite progress in a widening field of activity. EMPLOYERS' RETURNS TOTAL 9,020 Due largely to increasing coverage of the surveys, and the co-operation of employers in prompt completion of the returns, the number of firms reporting in time for tabulation in the tables rose to 9,020 for 1949, compared with 8,736 in 1948, an increase of 284. With many firms filing reports in more than one industrial classification, the " number of firms reporting " should be properly considered as representing the actual number of reports tabulated. PAYROLL The total industrial payroll, as represented in the amount of salaries and wages reported by the 9,020 firms filing returns in time for classification in the tables, was $434,163,795 for 1949. As this total, however, is a summary of industrial payrolls only, it should not be considered as the over-all Provincial payroll without the addition of further totals which follow, to give an accumulative estimated total of $690,000,000, an apparent increase of $50,004,021 over final estimates for 1948:— Payrolls of 9,020 firms making returns to Department of Labour $434,163,795 Returns received too late to be included in above summary - 1,174,584 Transcontinental railways (ascertained payroll)— 33,998,573 Estimated additional payrolls, including employers covered by the survey but not filing returns, and additional services not included in the tables; namely, Governmental workers, wholesale and retail firms, ocean services, miscellaneous (estimated payroll) 220,663,048 Total - $690,000,000 PREVIOUS PROVINCIAL PAYROLLS Provincial payroll totals since 1928 have been estimated as follows:— 1928 $183,097,781 1939 $165,683,460 1929. _ 192,092,249 1940.— 188,325,766 1930 167,133,813 1941 239,525,459 1931 131,941,008 1942 321,981,489 1932... 102,957,074 1943 394,953,031 1933 99,126,653 1944 388,100,000 1934 113,567,953 1945... 383,700,000 1935. 125,812,140 1946 432,919,727 1936 142,349,591 1947.... 557,075,508 1937.. _ 162,654,234 1948 639,995,979* 1938 158,026,375 1949 690,000,000f * 1948 total revised since 1948 report. t 1949 preliminary total subject to revision. In preparing estimates of the Provincial payroll total for the current year, consideration is given to the increase in the numbers of firms reporting in the industrial section, and due allowance made for relative expansion and development in other payroll sections and additional services not included in the coverage of the tables. Preliminary estimated totals are subject to revision from year to year, based on additional information not available at the time of publication. The following table shows the relative percentage of the total working-force represented in each class of worker included in the survey:— 1945 1946 1947 1948 1949 Officers, superintendents, and managers Per Cent 7.95 11.62 80.43 Per Cent 9.07 12.14 78.79 Per Cent 8.75 11.37 79.88 Per Cent 8.95 11.85 79.20 Per Cent 9.29 11 85 Wage-earners 78.86 Totals 100.00 100.00 100.00 100.00 100 00 REPORT OF DEPUTY MINISTER, 1949 L 9 COMPARISON OF PAYROLLS The general trend of industrial payrolls continued upward during 1949, some levelling off becoming apparent, however, particularly in those industries wherein continued rapid expansion over the past few years had forced payroll totals to extreme heights in 1948. Increases were noted in twenty of the twenty-five industrial classifications included in the survey for 1949. Leading in the list of increases, construction payrolls advanced by $6,723,686 from the previous year's total, followed by metal trades, up $4,005,400, and miscellaneous trades and industries with an increase of $3,618,693; coast shipping increased by $1,907,747, followed by the cartage, trucking, and warehousing industry, up $1,621,346, and food-products manufacturing with a gain of $1,517,903; printing and publishing increased by $1,335,262; coal-mining, up $1,046,188; oil refining and distribution, an increase of $1,014,908; public utilities, an increase of $987,116; breweries, distilleries, and aerated-water manufacturers, up $685,712;•metal-mining, $587,906; explosives, fertilizers, and chemicals, $513,318; laundries, cleaning and dyeing, $371,951; garment- manufacturing, $330,399; leather and fur goods manufacturing, $173,255; builders' materials, $133,584; paint-manufacturing, $113,743; house furnishings, $94,551; and jewellery-manufacturing, up $49,460. Decreases were noted in five of the industrial classifications. The lumber industries, which had recorded spectacular increases in recent years, was off somewhat from the peak figure established in 1948 to show a decrease of $12,377,570 for the year under review. The ship-building and boat-building industry, continuing a downward trend, decreased a further $4,702,883 from the 1948 total, while pulp and paper manufacturing showed a drop of $1,815,183. Other industries recording lesser amounts were wood-manufacturing (N.E.S.), down $98,708, and smelting and concentrating, off $64,195. 1947 1948 1949 Industry No. of Firms Reporting Total Payroll No. of Firms Reporting Total Payroll No. of Firms Reporting Total Payroll Breweries, distilleries, and aerated-water 37 120 351 26 131 1,978 38 688 93 138 30 156 96 1,869 1,351 167 501 75 12 159 11 73 5 111 194 $3,422,059.00 5,059,252.00 2,818,491.00 5,194,610.00 16,235,547.00 49,585,762.00 5,143,880.00 29,815,029.00 2,620,570.00 3,828,243.00 629,500.00 4,232,696.00 1,553,950.00 84,746,167.00 30,393,381.00 14,924,098.00 15,341,644.00 5,556,201.00 786,731.00 8,182,551.00 14,812,129.00 13,338,436.00 9,723,200.00 27,284,938.00 10,968,089.00 34 132 435 25 127 2,078 35 658 89 137 40 195 106 1,819 1,488 152 559 67 13 153 9 82 5 109 189 $3,609,739.00 6,907,420.00 5,088,317.00 5,288,864.00 17,001,030.00 59,422,935.00 5,485,887.00 33,082,805.00 2,785,209.00 4,183,552.00 769,177.00 4,974,750.00 1,597,353.00 105,152,349.00 35,720,896.00 18,502,053.00 18,669,989.00 6,329,656.00 958,283.00 9,297,215.00 16,664,439.00 12,315,940.00 12,076,589.00 26,758,522.00 13,747,237.00 40 125 484 23 138 2,193 38 667 117 132 37 191 103 1,701 1,583 157 628 70 16 160 8 72 5 115 217 $4,295,451.00 7,041,004.00 6 709 663 00 Co al-mining 6,335,052.00 18,908 777 00 66,146,621.00 5,999,205.00 34,600,708.00 3,115,608.00 4,278,103 00 Explosives, fertilizers, and chemicals 818,637.00 5,346,701.00 1,770,608.00 92,774,779.00 Leather and fur goods manufacturing 39,726,296.00 19,089 959 00 22,288,682.00 7,344,564.00 1,072,026.00 10,632,477.00 14,849,256.00 7 613 057 00 Pulp and paper manufacturing 12,012,394 00 Street-railways, gas, water, power, tele- 27,745,638.00 13,648,529.00 Totals - 8,410 $366,197,154.00 8,736 $426,390,206.00 9,020 $434,163,795.00 . L 10 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR INDUSTRIAL DIVISIONS Industrial development within the Province is recorded under three main divisional headings, including Greater Vancouver, Rest of Province, and Vancouver Island. For purposes of annual comparison, the relative yearly percentage of the industrial payroll in each division is used to indicate the trend of industrial activity in that section, the concentration of labour force in any portion of the Province being shown by the application of the yearly percentages to the over-all estimated Provincial payroll. During 1949 the percentage of the industrial payroll attributable to the Greater Vancouver area increased to 43.82 per cent from 42.09 per cent previously recorded. The Rest of Province percentage remained almost unchanged, showing a fractional gain from 38.17 per cent to 38.91 per cent for the year under review, while the Vancouver Island percentage decreased slightly to 17.27 per cent compared with 19.74 per cent recorded for the previous year. A divisional breakdown of the ■ 1949 Provincial payroll is obtained through the application of the above percentages to the over-all estimated total, the resultant figures being shown in the following table, together with comparative data for previous years:— 1945 1946 1947 1948* 1949t Greater Vancouver Rest of Province Vancouver Island $189,662,910.00 121,210,830.00 72,826,260.00 $191,480,395.00 158,015,700.00 83,423,632.00 $223,777,232.00 219,933,410.00 113,364,866.00 $269,374,308.00 244,286,465.00 126,335,206.00 $302,358,000.00 268,479,000.00 119,163,000.00 Totals $383,700,000.00 I $432,919,727.00 $557,075,508.00 $639,995,979.00 $690,000,000.00 * 1948 total revised since publication of 1948 Report. f 1949 preliminary total subject to revision. In order to record the continued decrease in the numbers of workers employed at low wages, a percentage distribution has been made by industry to show the proportions of workers remaining in the bracket at less than $19 per week. Decreasing percentages of wage-earners in this section were noted in twenty-two of the twenty-five industrial classifications covered for 1949, the following table showing, in order of diminishing percentages, the total male wage-earners employed in each industry, together with the percentage of that number earning less than $19 per week:— Industry Printing and publishing Jewellery manufacturing and repair Leather and fur goods manufacturing Laundries, cleaning and dyeing Paint-manufacturing Miscellaneous trades and industries Wood-manufacturing (N.E.S.)

This section is inclusive of clerks, stenographers, and salesmen, the greater earning-power of the latter occupation being largely responsible for the relatively higher averages in those industries normally employing considerable numbers of skilled sales personnel. Increased earnings were, with a few exceptions, generally apparent throughout the clerical section.

Indicating the high level of wages for workers in all industrial occupations, the computed average figure representing the weekly earnings of male wage-earners rose to $49.21 during 1949, to set a new all-time high average for industrial workers within this Province.

REPORT OF DEPUTY MINISTER, 1949 L 15 FIRMS WITH LARGE PAYROLLS For some years a record has been maintained of the larger firms reporting payrolls in excess of $100,000. While the numbers recorded are necessarily restricted to those firms reporting in time for classification, the annual comparison serves to indicate generally the proportionate concentration of the labour force in the various industries. Payrolls excluded from the coverage of this survey are those of public authorities (Dominion, Provincial, or municipal), wholesale and retail firms, transcontinental railways, and vessels engaged in deep-sea transportation. The over-all total number of firms reporting payrolls in excess of $100,000 remained at a high of 713 for 1949, unchanged from the same total recorded for the previous year. Fluctuations, however, occurred in the individual classifications. The lumber industry continued to lead with the greatest number of firms in the higher payroll bracket, showing a total of 178 for the year under review, this figure, however, being somewhat reduced from the high of 203 recorded for the previous year. In the construction industry a total of 98 was recorded, an increase of 5 over the previous figure; followed by the metal trades with 81, increased by 5; food-products manufacturing, 73, up 1; miscellaneous trades and industries, 44, unchanged; coast shipping, 31, increased by 1; metal-mining, 23, unchanged; wood-manufacturing (N.E.S.), 23, a decrease of 2; printing and publishing, 20, up 1; public utilities, 19, increased by 1; builders' materials, 17, unchanged; ship-building and boat-building, 15, unchanged; laundries, cleaning and dyeing, 13, up 1; oil refining and distributing, 13, up 1; breweries, distilleries, and aerated-water manufacturers, 9, unchanged; coal-mining, 9, an increase of 1; cartage, trucking, and warehousing, 8 (previously included with miscellaneous trades and industries); garment-manufacturing, 8, unchanged; pulp and paper manufacturing, 8, unchanged; house furnishings, 6, an increase of 1; leather and fur goods manufacturing, 6, up 1; explosives, fertilizers, and chemicals, 5, unchanged; smelting and concentrating, 3, unchanged; paint-manufacturing, 2, and jewellery-manufacturing, 1, both unchanged from the previous year. Of the 713 firms reporting in the higher brackets, seven had payrolls in excess of $5,000,000, three between $4,000,000 and $5,000,000, five between $3,000,000 and $4,000,000, twelve between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000, and thirty between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000. EMPLOYMENT Some recession was noted in the peak levels of employment during the year 1949. Although many industries continued to show increasing monthly totals, the over-all trend of general employment was lower than the record year of 1948, particularly noticeable in those industries normally employing the greatest number of workers, and especially so in industries affected by extreme winter conditions during a portion of the year. The following table shows, by industry, the variation of employment in 1949 and comparative data for the previous year, with subsequent charts presenting a graphic picture of the respective trends in the clerical section, wage-earner group, and total employment summary for 1949 and past years.

Although some increase was noted during the war years, the record has generally shown a gradual decline in the weekly hours reported since 1930. Following are the average weekly working-hours for all employees in the wage-earner section from 1930 to 1949:— 1930 48.62 1931 47.37 1932 .- 47.69 1933 47.35 1934 47.32 1935 - 47.17 1936 _ 47.63 1937 47.25 1938 46.84 1939. 47.80 1940 46.91 1941 46.90 1942 48.12 1943 47.19 1944 .. .46.02 1945 45.59 1946 --43.63 1947 42.24 1948 42.21 1949- - 42.24 By an amendment to the " Hours of Work Act" which became effective during 1946 the legal working-hours for employees in industry was reduced from 48 to 44 hours per week, subject to certain exceptions. For the subsequent years 1947, 1948, and 1949 the following table shows the percentage of the total wage-earners covered in the survey who were reported as working up to and including the weekly limit of 44 hours, and the percentage of those in excess of the legal limit.

The percentage of the total shown as working 44 hours per week or less continued to increase, the figure reaching 81.86 per cent, while the total reported in excess of 44 hours decreased relatively to 18.14 per cent for the year under review. As in previous years, information was also requested covering the hours worked by employees in clerical occupations. Under this heading the firms reporting submitted details of some 21,698 male and female clerical workers for 1949, this total being comprised of clerks, stenographers, and salesmen, etc., but not including officials or executive staff.

The totals quoted in this section are already incorporated in other tables as a portion of the total industrial payroll, and they should, therefore, not be considered as in addition to previous employment and payroll summaries, but rather as having been further segregated and here set aside for separate study. Coverage of the tables includes workers engaged in public works, the construction 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 130 returns submitted by civic and municipal administrations, the total reported payroll was $13,073,570 for 1949, an increase of $1,825,199 over the reported total for the previous year. Payroll totals of civic and municipal workers are shown in the following table, which sets out the comparative figures reported for each class of worker covered in the survey for the years 1947, 1948, and 1949:— 1947 1948 1949 Officers, superintendents, and managers Clerks, stenographers, etc. $986,080 900,120 7,296,213 $1,074,817 1,254,191 8,919,363 $1,118,725 1,337,143 10,617,702 Totals $9,182,413 $11,248,371 $13,073,570 Extensive maintenance and repair of existing public works and the continued development of new projects under civic and municipal administration brought increased employment in this section, the survey showing an over-all total of 5,964 employees for the high month of July, 1949, as against a high of 5,585 reported in August of 1948, these figures being inclusive of both wage-earners and clerical workers. The table following sets out by sex and occupational group the 1949 civic and municipal employment totals, together with comparative monthly totals for the preceding year 1948:— Employment Totals* of Civic and Municipal Workers, 1948 and 1949 Month 1948 Wage-earners Males Females Clerks, Stenographers, etc. Males Females 1949 Wage-earners Males Females C'erks, Stenographers, etc. Males Females January February...

L 40 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR The distribution of employment in civic and municipal occupations, with relation to earnings, is clearly indicated in the following table, which shows a percentage breakdown of the male wage-earners in the various wage classifications as noted, for the comparative years 1947, 1948, and 1949:— Weekly Earnings Percentage of Employees 1947 1948 1949 Under $15 2.38 1.20 2.40 9.27 39.49 30.24 7.85 3.71 3.46 1.57 0.57 1.15 1.48 14.63 19.15 41.77 12.49 7.19 1.39 $15 to $20 0.91 20 to 25 . 1.38 25 to 30 30 to 35 — 35 to 40 40 to 45 — 45 to 50 1.92 5.02 13.72 33.18 25.44 50 and over — 17.04 Average weekly earnings for civic and municipal workers in the male wage-earner group increased to $43.84 in 1949, from an average figure of $40.59 recorded for the previous year. Increased earnings were also apparent in the section dealing with clerical occupations, the average figures representing weekly earnings increasing to $46.11 for males and $33.15 for female workers, compared respectively with $42.16 and $30.09 noted in these classifications for 1948. The clerical group is inclusive of clerks, stenographers, and general office employees, but excludes officials and executive staff. Average weekly hours worked by civic and municipal employees was slightly less in 1949 than in the previous year, the 1949 average figure for wage-earners decreasing fractionally to 41.16 hours from 41.57 previously reported, while for the clerical workers the average declined to 38.28 hours, as against 38.90 recorded in 1948. REPORT OF DEPUTY MINISTER, 1949 L 41 SUMMARY OF NEW LAWS AFFECTING LABOUR (Passed by the Legislature of British Columbia, Session 1950) "ANNUAL HOLIDAYS ACT AMENDMENT ACT, 1950" Certain amendments were made to this Act in order to clarify its application and facilitate the computation of the employees' holiday pay. A day of actual work is defined as "a period of work designated by the employer as the daily working-shift of the employee," and the definition of "employee" is clarified by making it clear that it includes an employee whether he is paid by time, piece, or otherwise. The " working year " was reduced from 250 days of actual work to 225 days of actual work. A further amendment specifically excludes employees engaged in certain occupations from the application of the Act and in general such persons as are engaged in professions, for example, architects, chartered accountants, dentists, engineers, lawyers, doctors, etc. A computation of the holiday pay to which an employee is entitled is changed from the basis of one-eighth of a day's pay to 2 per cent of the employee's total wages or salaries, and the holiday pay applies also to an employee who has worked throughout the whole calendar year but whose time was broken to such an extent that he has not worked 225 days. In such a case the employee would not have earned an annual holiday but he will be entitled to pay in lieu of a holiday at the rate of 2 per cent of his total wages or salary during the calendar year. A further amendment requires employers to keep a true and correct record, in the English language, of the amount of holiday pay paid to each of his employees pursuant to the provisions of the Act. "BOILER INSPECTION ACT AMENDMENT ACT, 1950" Amendments were made to this Statute in order that its application would include steam-boilers, hot-water boilers, and pressure-vessels. The Act was originally intended to apply only to steam-boilers and steam-plants. In view of its broader application, the name of the Act was changed to "An Act respecting Steam-boilers, Hot-water Boilers, Pressure-vessels, and the Certification of Engineers." " HAIRDRESSERS ACT AMENDMENT ACT, 1950 " Section 10 of this Act was amended to give the Hairdressers' Association authority to raise the membership fee to a maximum of $5 in order to enable the Association to carry on certain educational work. "MECHANICS' LIEN ACT AMENDMENT ACT, 1950" The " Mechanics' Lien Act" provides that where repairs are done to a motor-vehicle on credit, the garageman may file a lien with the Superintendent of Motor-vehicles. The purpose of the amendment is to cut down the amount of paper work required to be done by the Superintendent of Motor-vehicles. "SHOPS REGULATION AND WEEKLY HOLIDAY ACT AMENDMENT ACT, 1950" Section 5 of the Act regarding the passing of a by-law requiring the closing of automobile garages, etc., was amended because the previous section made it impracticable to draft a by-law in conformity with the Act which would permit of successful prosecutions for violations of the by-law. A further amendment was made prohibiting merchants from accepting orders for the delivery of goods, wares, or merchandise during the time when they were required to have the shop closed by reason of this Act. L 42 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR Section 31 of the Act provided that in the case of certain public holidays the provisions with respect to the closing of shops and the observance of a weekly holiday would not apply, but it had been found that during the Christmas season of 1949 difficulties were encountered and shops were required to stay closed for three days in the week. An amendment was made to section 31 to eliminate the possibility of such a situation arising in the future.

To the Honourable the Minister of Labour, Province of British Columbia. Sir,—We have the honour to present the sixteenth annual report of the Board of Industrial Relations for the year ended December 31st, 1949. The Board of Industrial Relations was established in April, 1934, and was charged with the duties and responsibilities formerly connected with the Minimum Wage Board, the Board of Adjustment, and the Male Minimum Wage Board. Statistical records have been maintained by the Department in connection with the work of female employees for the past thirty-two years so that although this is only the sixteenth report of the Board of Industrial Relations it is the thirty-second annual record of the Department with respect to female employees. MEETINGS AND DELEGATIONS During the year 1949 the Board held sixty-eight sessions on thirty-four different days. It held thirty-six sessions in Vancouver and thirty-two sessions in Victoria. Public hearings were held in connection with the following:— (1) Proposed minimum wage order to apply to embalmers and undertakers. (2) Revision of minimum wage orders applying to elevator operators and starters. (3) Revision of minimum wage orders applying to the taxicab industry. (4) Proposed minimum wage order to apply to hospital institutions. (5) Proposed minimum wage order to apply to machinists. (6) Revision of minimum wage orders applying to janitors and janitresses. Following the public hearings and further deliberation by the Board, certain new minimum wage orders were made to improve the working conditions of the employees to whom the orders apply. An outline of the orders made during 1949 is provided in subsequent pages of the report. In addition to these public hearings, forty-one delegations appeared before the Board in connection with problems regarding hours of work, minimum wages, etc. ORDERS MADE DURING 1949 During the year 1949 the Board revised two of its Orders, resulting in the promulgation of the following:— Order No. 53 (1949) with respect to male and female elevator operators and starters. This Order of the Board superseded Orders Nos. 53 and 54, it being the Board's opinion that wherever it is practical to do so it is desirable to establish the same working conditions for both male and female employees. L 44 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR Order No. 24 (1949) with respect to the mercantile industry. This Order of the Board superseded Orders Nos. 24 and 59. Order No. 59, which had applied to male employees in the mercantile industry, except for the 20-per-cent increase in the minimum rates provided in General Interim Minimum Wage Order (1946), had not been revised since 1935. Order No. 59 had provided for the payment of varying minimum wages according to the ages of the male employees, and although this method of payment was desirable at the time the Order was put into effect changing conditions had made the minimum wages provided in the Order entirely unreasonable. In Order No. 24 (1949) the Board established the same working conditions for male and female employees in the mercantile industry and eliminated the principle of establishing minimum wages according to the ages of the male employees in the mercantile industry. In addition to the above, entirely new Orders were made with respect to the following:— Order No. 11 (1949) with respect to rest periods for female employees. This Order of the Board was made because it had been brought to the Board's attention that certain female employees were required to be on the job eight hours per day without having any period free from duty. Certain female employees in the mercantile industry and in the office occupation partook of their lunches during slack periods but were not permitted to leave their places of employment. This Order provides, in general, that female employees shall be given at least one-half hour free from duty after five consecutive hours of work. Order No. 14 (1949) with respect to the grass-dehydration industry. The work of employees in this industry had previously been covered by the Order establishing a minimum wage in the manufacturing industry. There were, however, certain problems inherent in the grass-dehydration industry which made it desirable to permit additional hours of work during a certain season of the year without the necessity of applying for overtime permits provided the employees were paid the usual overtime rates of pay. This Order of the Board provides for this arrangement. Order No. 13 (1949) with respect to the plumbing and pipe-fitting trade. Joint representations from the Master Plumbers' Association and the Plumbers' and Pipe-fitters' Union having been made to the Board requesting the Board to make a minimum wage order to apply to the plumbing and pipe- fitting trades, a public hearing was held and Order No. 13 (1949) was made. This Order embodies the principles provided in other minimum wage orders of the Board applying to the various trades. Order No. 16(1949) with respect to the business of operating hospital institutions, as defined by the British Columbia " Hospital Insurance Act." Late in 1947 representations had been made to the Board to have the Board make an order applying to hospitals and institutions of a similar nature, as it was considered by the applicants that such institutions should not be covered by the Minimum Wage Order which applied to the hotel and catering industry. Further representations were received during 1948 and as a result of a hearing, at which representatives of the Western Canada Institute for Hospital Administrators and Trustees and representatives of the Hospital Employees Union were present, the Board made Order No. 16 (1949) which removed certain institutions from the application of the Minimum Wage Order applying to the hotel and catering industry. This Order provides for minimum wage rates slightly higher REPORT OF DEPUTY MINISTER, 1949 L 45 than those embodied in Order No. 52 and eliminates the maximum charges which might be made for board and lodging. Order No. 15 (1949) with respect to the undertaking business. For a number of years employees engaged in this business had asked the Board to put some restriction on their hours of work. The Board had held numerous inquiries in connection with the matter but due to circumstance present at the time found it impractical to grant the applicants' request. However, following several hearings during 1949 the Board made Order No. 15 (1949) which, in general, restricts the working-hours of employees in the undertaking business in certain areas of the Province to eight in the day and forty-four in the week, and also provides for a minimum wage. There is, however, a certain amount of flexibility in the Order regarding hours of work, and for persons living on the premises arrangements can be made, with the approval of the Board, whereby the employees are permitted to work additional hours. Orders Nos. 59 and 24, Mercantile Supplementary (1949). These Orders took care of male and female employees in the Christmas period. REGULATIONS MADE DURING 1949 Regulation No. 4b—Engineers, Operators, Firemen, and Oilers or Greasers.—This regulation superseded Regulation No. 4a and provided for these employees to work one hour per day extra to perform preparatory or complementary work in addition to hours that might have been authorized pursuant to sections 3, 5, 11 (3), or 11 (4) of the " Hours of Work Act." Regulation No. 29a—Mercantile Industry.—This regulation added the City of New Westminster to the list of cities, towns, etc., wherein persons employed in the mercantile industry were not permitted to work the additional three hours per day on Saturday of each week, etc. Regulations Nos. 34b, 34c, and 34t>—Bartenders, Waiters, Utility Men.—These regulations extended to June 30th, 1950, the time during which the working-hours of bartenders, etc., working on a split shift could be confined within thirteen hours immediately following commencement of work. Regulation No. 32v.—Construction Industry.—This regulation permitted persons employed on the Pine Pass Highway and the Hope-Princeton Highway to work nine hours per day and fifty-four hours per week for the period April 28th, 1949, to and including December 31st, 1949. Regulation No. 35—Grass-dehydration Industry.—This regulation exempted employees employed in the grass-dehydration industry, other than office employees, from the operation of the " Hours of Work Act " from April 1st to September 30th, inclusive, in each year. This regulation is complementary to Order No. 14 (1949). Regulation No. 36—Hostlers in the Logging Industry.—This regulation permitted hostlers in the logging industry working on a split shift to confine their hours of work within sixteen hours immediately following commencement of work. Regulation No. 36k—Western Forest Industries, Limited.—This regulation permitted the donkey-engine fireman working on a split shift at the Gordon River Camp to confine his hours of work within thirteen hours immediately following commencement of work. Mercantile Industry, Christmas, 1949 (Temporary).—This regulation took care of the hours of work of employees in the retail establishments in the mercantile industry during the Christmas period. (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.) L 46 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR STATISTICS COVERING WOMEN AND GIRL EMPLOYEES The following section is devoted to a statistical summary of employment, earnings, and hours of work of female workers in those occupations and industries for which Minimum Wage Orders have been set by the Board. The number of establishments reporting in this section continued to increase, some 8,220 employers of women and girls filing returns in time for classification in the tables, as compared with a total of 7,984 for the previous year. With additional firms reporting, the total reported employment of women workers stood at 61,874, to establish the highest employment total of women workers yet recorded in the history of the Department. The tables show a comparative five-year record of employment, earnings, and hours of work for female workers in various occupations and industries covered by the minimum wage regulations. Mercantile Industry (Female) Number of firms reporting Total number of employees Total weekly earnings Average weekly earnings Average hours worked per week 1949 1948 1947 1,814 12,044 $293,381.00 $24.36 38.65 1,753 12,054 $275,928.00 $22.89 37.27 1,747 11,493 $228,446.00 $19.88 36.48 1946 1,696 10,808 $197,691.08 $18.29 38.46 1945 1,650 11,039 $184,838.18 $16.74 38.02 While the number of firms reporting in the mercantile industry continued to increase, little variation was noted in the over-all employment total in this section, which remained almost unchanged at 12,044 for 1949, compared with the previous year's total of 12,054. With a total amount of $293,381 representing salaries and wages paid to the 12,044 employees reported for the week under review, average per capita weekly earnings for female workers in this industry increased to $24.36, as against an average of $22.89 recorded for 1948. A slight increase was noted in the average weekly hours of work in this industry, the 1949 figure being recorded at 38.65 hours, as compared with 37.27 noted for 1948. Some fluctuation in the average hours worked in this industry is not uncommon, however, due to many employers reporting the highest volume of employment during the Christmas week, in which the total working-hours usually vary considerably from the normal. Laundry, Cleaning and Dyeing Industries (Female) 1949 1948 1947 1946 1945 266 2,552 $64,001.00 $25.08 39.33 211 2,652 $58,367.00 $22.01 38.67 206 2,881 $57,784.00 $20.06 38.23 176 2,285 $40,417.75 $17.69 39.01 2,332 $37,965.94 $16.28 A total of 266 firms in this section reported some 2,552 female employees engaged in laundry, cleaning, and dyeing occupations during 1949. Although the total reported employment decreased slightly from the previous year, earnings remained high with a payroll of $64,001 being shown for the weekly period, as compared with $58,367 reported in 1948. Average weekly earnings in this industry increased substantially to $25.08, from $22.01 recorded for the year previous. A fractional increase was again noted in the average hours worked per week, the 1948 figure of 38.67 increasing to 39.33 for the 1949 period under review. report of deputy minister, 1949 Hotel and Catering Industry (Female) L 47 1949 1948 1947 1946 1945 1,295 10,450 $239,239.00 $22.89 38.24 1,266 10,865 $236,981.00 $21.81 38.50 1,222 10,879 $216,965.00 $19.94 38.54 1,174 9,492 $175,484.81 $18.49 38.93 1,271 Total number of employees _. 9,553 $162,384.74 $17.00 40.56 A total of 1,295 firms reported in the hotel and catering group for 1949, this figure being slightly in excess of the number reporting in this classification for the previous year. Employment totals submitted in this section were somewhat lower than in 1948, however, the 1949 figure decreasing to 10,450 from 10,865 previously recorded. Total earnings shown for the weekly period under review were $239,239 as against $236,981 reported in 1948, with an increase also in the per capita average weekly earnings for female workers in these occupations. Average weekly earnings were computed at $22.89, an increase from $21.81 shown for the previous year. Average weekly hours of work for employees in hotel and catering occupations remained almost unchanged from the 1948 figure of 38.50, the 1949 average decreasing fractionally to 38.24. Office Occupations (Female) 1949 1948 1947 1946 1945 3,468 17,137 $525,692.00 $30.68 38.65 3,405 15,721 $461,189.00 $29.34 38.47 3,349 15,368 $423,571.00 $27.56 39.09 3,261 14,296 $346,234.83 $24.22 39.46 3,274 13,790 $318,788.40 Average weekly earnings Average hours worked per week $23.12 40.43 The number of firms employing female office-workers continued to increase, with a total of 3,468 shown for 1949 as compared with 3,405 reporting in this section for the preceding year. The highest employment totals for female workers continue to appear in this classification, with the 1949 figures recording a further sharp increase in the numbers of women and girls employed in clerical occupations. Total employment reported was 17,137, as compared with a previous figure of 15,721 recorded in 1948. With a total of $525,692 paid in salaries and wages for the weekly period under review, the average weekly earnings for female office-workers increased to $30.68 from $29.34 previously reported. Little variation was noted in the weekly working-hours of office employees, the 1949 average showing a fractional increase to 38.65 from 38.47 reported in 1948. Personal Service Occupation (Female) 1949 1948 1947 1946 1945 151 402 $10,637.00 $26.46 38.81 147 446 $10,942.00 $24.53 38.49 152 524 $11,830.00 $22.58 39.48 144 542 $11,435.30 $21.10 40.16 149 535 Total weekly earnings .-. $10,350.57 $19.35 39.88 The above table is inclusive of female workers employed as beauty-parlor operators, chiropodists, and those engaged in similar occupations of personal service. While many firms in this business are owner-operated without outside assistance, the survey has been restricted to a coverage of only those establishments employing staff. L 48 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR Employment in this occupation continued to show a decreasing trend from the highest figure recorded in 1946. The total for 1949 stood at 402, as compared with a figure of 446 reported for the previous year. Weekly earnings continued to increase, however, the average per capiia earnings for the weekly period in this section being computed at $26.46, up from $24.53 recorded for the previous year. Average hours worked by employees in personal service occupations varied little from the preceding year, the average figure increasing fractionally to 38.81 from 38.49 noted in 1948. Fishing Industry (Female) 1949* 1948* 1947* 1946 1945 ■ 28 1,610 $52,832.00 $32,81 40.56 26 1,650 $49,987.00 $30.30 36.20 22 2,129 $58,775.00 $27.61 37.84 20 774 $18,194.97 $23.51 37.49 17 441 Total weekly earnings Average weekly earnings Average hours worked per week.. $9,307.73 $21.11 35.22 * 1947, 1948, and 1949 figures inclusive of all cannery occupations not previously included in the tabulations. In comparing the yearly totals in the above table, it should be noted that figures subsequent to 1946 are inclusive of all cannery occupations, some of which had previously been omitted from the tables, being outside the governing Order of the Board. No direct comparison should be made, therefore, between recent totals and those of earlier years without this consideration. The more recent years, however, provide a comparative picture of female workers in this industry. Although seasonal fluctuations are common in this industry, employment remained almost at the 1948 level, a total of 1,610 female workers being reported, as against 1,650 shown for the previous year. Earnings continued to increase for females employed in this industry, the 1949 average figure rising to $32.81 from $30.30 recorded in 1948. The average weekly hours worked for the period reviewed was, however, somewhat higher than for the previous year, increasing to 40.56 from a low of 36.20 established for the previous year. Telephone ane Telegraph Occupation (Female) 1949 1948 1947 1946 1945 203 2,999 $89,043.00 $29.69 40.07 179 2,956 $84,007.00 $28.42 40.58 154 2,679 $68,205.00 $25.46 40.08 230 2,720 $61,895.57 $22.76 40.61 Total number of employees 2,096 $44,409.74 $21.19 Included in the above table are all types of establishments employing females in switchboard work and such occupations relating to the telephone and telegraph section. Some variation of the employment figures in this section has been noted in the past, apparently due to some employers failing to segregate this class of worker from other office employees. With an increase in firms reporting in this section, employment totals continued to climb, increasing from 2,956 to 2,999 for 1949, to again set a new high mark for employment in this occupation. A total of $89,043 was paid out in salaries and wages for the weekly period, up from $84,007 recorded for a similar week during the previous year. REPORT OF DEPUTY MINISTER, 1949 L 49 Average weekly earnings in this occupation also increased over the preceding year, to show a new high of $29.69, compared with $28.42 previously reported. Although increases were otherwise generally in evidence throughout this section, the average weekly working-hours for female workers in telephone and telegraph occupations was slightly less than previously recorded, declining fractionally to 40.07 hours in 1949, as compared with 40.58 noted in 1948. Manufacturing Industry (Female) 1949 1948 1 1947 1 1946 1945 778 7,938 $230,328.00 $29.02 38.50 772 | 794 8,567 | 8,983 $234,410.00 | $216,668.00 $27.36 j $24.12 37.89 j 38.19 948 8,757 $189,535.49 $21.64 39.32 1,036 14,016 $321,983.90 $22.97 40.33 Although the number of firms reporting remained at the 1948 level, a considerable drop in employment was apparent in this section, in line with a downward trend generally noted in the manufacturing group over the past few years. With a total amount of $230,328 paid in salaries and wages for the weekly period under review, the average per capita weekly earnings, however, continued to climb, the 1949 figure being computed at $29.02, an increase from $27.36 in 1948, to again set a new high mark for earnings in this industry. Average weekly working-hours for female employees in manufacturing industries, which had declined steadily since the early post-war years to a low of 37.89 in 1948, registered a slight gain for the year under review, the 1949 average figure increasing to 38.50.

Substantial increase was again apparent in the weekly earnings for female workers in this industry, a total of $203,615 being reported in salaries and wages for the weekly period, representing a per capita average weekly figure of $33.27, as against average earnings of $29.52 for a similar period in 1948. Longer working-hours were evident in the fruit and vegetable industry, the average hours for the week of greatest employment increasing to 45.79, compared with 43.59 recorded for the previous year. Transportation Industry (Female) 1949 1948 1947 1946 1945 Number of firms reporting _ Total number of employees .

Average weekly earnings in this section again increased, to reach a high of $25.46 recorded for 1949, as compared with $24.22 in 1948. Contributing factor in the higher earnings during 1949 were the longer hours noted in this occupation, the average working-time for the weekly period under review rising to 42.50 hours from 41.99 previously reported. Public Places of Amusement (Female) 1949 1948 1 1947 1946 1945 94 521 $8,108.00 105 543 $8,129.00 92 500 $6,788.00 $13.58 25.47 85 283 $2,960.63 $10.46 24.76 91 311 $3,164.58 $15.56 26.50 $14.97 26.69 $10.18 Average hours worked per week 26.12 This classification is inclusive of female workers employed as theatre ushers, checkroom attendants, and in occupations of a similar nature in connection with bowling-alleys, swimming-pools, and other such public places of amusement. Some 94 establishments reported a total of 521 employees in this classification for 1949, and it should be noted that, due to the part-time nature of the occupations covered, hours of work and weekly earnings are relatively lower than those in other occupations. The figures submitted should, therefore, not be considered as representative of a full week's work. Based on the actual part-time hours worked, the average weekly earnings for female employees in this group increased to $15.56 in 1949, compared with the previous year's average of $14.97. Weekly hours worked showed little change from the 1948 average, the 1949 figure decreasing fractionally to 26.50 from 26.69 hours previously reported.

Total aggregate salaries and wages of female workers for the one week of 1949 under review amounted to $1,719,447, compared with $1,598,616, covering 61,528 employees, during a similar week in 1948. Covering all occupations reported in the survey, the average weekly figure representing earnings rose to $27.79, to record a new high in the average for all females included in the tabulations, and establishing an increase of $1.81 over the 1948 figure of $25.98. Inasmuch as during the 1949 period the legal minimum rates set for female workers by Orders of the Board ranged from a low of $17 weekly in the mercantile industry to a high of $20.16 for a 48-hour week in the telephone and telegraph occupation, it is evident REPORT OF DEPUTY MINISTER, 1949 L 51 that the average weekly earnings of female workers in this Province continue well above the highest minimum set by law. The average weekly hours worked by the 61,874 female employees reported in all occupations for 1949 showed a slight increase over the figure for the previous year, the computed average being recorded at 39.32, up from 38.61 hours noted for the similar weekly period in 1948. Only those workers engaged in industries and occupations for which Minimum Wage Orders have been set by the Board are included in the total of 61,874 reported in the above table. The summary totals are not inclusive of domestic workers, farm-labourers, or fruit-pickers, these occupations being excluded from the coverage of the provisions of the " Female Minimum Wage Act." Bank employees and Federal workers are also excluded from the coverage of the Provincial legislation.

Comparative data covering the various occupational classifications covered in the survey is set out in the above table, which shows for each industry or occupation the number of firms reporting, total employment represented, and weekly payroll. The actual average weekly earnings recorded in each classification is shown in relation to the legal minimum wage set by the Board in each instance, and is expressed in percentages in excess of the fixed rate. It is gratifying to note that the figure of $27.79, representing the average weekly earnings of females in all occupations included in the survey, was 63.47 per cent in excess of the lowest legal minimum shown in the table. STATISTICAL SUMMARY—HOSPITAL WORKERS (FEMALE) The following summary represents a sample survey of returns received from 86 public and private hospitals and nursing and rest homes reporting to the Department of Labour for the year 1949. The data submitted is based on the week of employment of the greatest number, and shows by occupational classification the employment totals, weekly earnings, and hours worked by some 3,473 female workers, exclusive of nursing staff. L 52 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR Inasmuch as the totals appearing in identical classifications have already been incorporated in the main summary of female workers shown elsewhere in this Report, the figures herein should not be considered as in addition to the previous totals, but rather here segregated for separate study, together with other occupations not shown previously in separate tables.

In the segregation of workers by occupation, only one employee was reported as engaged in the mercantile classification, receiving $38 for a 44-hour week. Laundry- workers numbered some 442, and received an average wage of $24.05 for the week under review. Employees engaged in the housekeeping and catering section numbered 1,730, their average weekly earnings being $23.38. Office-workers totalled 448, and were paid an average salary of $31 a week. Female employees in switchboard occupations under the telephone and telegraph section were 50 in number, receiving an average wage of $29.46 for the weekly period. Workers engaged in manufacturing occupations numbered 30, their average earnings being computed at $27 for the week. Only one employee was reported in the section under transportation, this worker receiving $29 for a 44-hour week. Next to the housekeeping and catering group, the greatest number employed were reported as nurses' aids, this section totalling 649 for the period reviewed, with average weekly earnings of $23.43. Technicians, inclusive of X-ray and laboratory departments, numbered 109, their average earnings for the week being computed at $41.89, the highest recorded. A group of 13 physiotherapists and occupational therapists were reported as receiving an average weekly salary of $36. Average weekly earnings for the total 3,473 female employees reported in all hospital occupations, exclusive of nursing staff, was $25.21, the average working-week for all workers being computed at 39.8 hours. STATISTICS FOR MALE EMPLOYEES The following tables serve to indicate the general trend of employment'and earnings in some of the more important occupations covered by the Male Minimum Wage Orders. In order to show this type of information by occupation, a segregation has been made from industrial classifications dealt with elsewhere in this Report to isolate male employees in various occupations within the coverage of the " Male Minimum Wage Act." While separate information for all occupations covered by the regulations is not obtainable from this source, the selected occupations shown will provide a comparative study covering employment and earnings in some of the more important groups of male workers during the past four years.

L 58 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR SPECIAL LICENCES 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 1949 there was a further decrease in the number of special licences issued by the Department, compared with those issued during 1948 and 1947. The following table shows the number of licences issued in the various lines of work in 1949, 1948, 1947, 1946, and 1945:-—• 1949 1948 1947 1946 1945 3 6 47 22 41 40 136 2 10 17 81 66 61 190 2 6 34 245 173 231 357 21 218 272 270 345 153 1 6 16 Office 26 43 Practical nurse (students) 125 Household furniture... 297 427 1,067 1,258 217 During the year 1949, 129 Part-time Employment Permits were issued.

H. McGeough, supervisor of the Vancouver Office, was retired on superannuation after many valuable years of service. The Board wishes to express its thanks for the excellent manner in which these employees carried out their duties and responsibilities. Before concluding this report, the Board would like to express its appreciation to all those persons who have assisted the Board in its work during the year, and extend to the officials of the Department and the employers and employees of the Province its thanks for their co-operation during the year 1949.

Fraser. .570 Seymour Street, Vancouver. Assistant Registrar R. G. Clements . ..570 Seymour Street, Vancouver. To the Honourable the Minister of Labour, Province of British Columbia. Sir,—We have the honour to present the Second Annual Report of the Labour Relations Board (British Columbia) for the year ended December 31st, 1949. Industrial organization continued apace during the period under review, and an upward trend in the work of the Board and its staff was apparent. The Board held fifty-two full Board meetings during the year 1949; eighteen of these meetings were held in Victoria and thirty-four were held in Vancouver. As explained in the Annual Report for 1948, the Board, to expedite its work, arranged that there shall be a Vancouver Committee of the Board (two members) and a Victoria Committee (the Chairman and two members). These Committees have held 401 meetings, of which 16 meetings were held at several points in the Okanagan, Quesnel, Wells, Kamloops, Prince George, Alberni, and Courtenay. The Board and Committees of the Board have therefore held a total of 453 meetings during the year. In accordance with the practice established by the Board in 1948, and with a view to continuing the maintenance of harmonious employer-employee relations, the Board and Committees of the Board have accorded interested parties every opportunity for personal appearances, and in consequence a total of 1,109 delegations were heard, when the parties were given every opportunity of submitting their representations. During the same period in 1948 the Board held 47 full Board meetings, 167 Committee meetings, and heard 639 delegations. Much of the work of the Board and Committees thereof has been devoted to mediation, with a view to averting strikes when all other efforts have failed, and in this respect the Board feels that it has rendered some considerable service to management, labour, and also the public. This was particularly so in the cases of the disputes in the lumber industry throughout the Province, Okanagan fruit-packing industry, wooden-boat yards in Vancouver, various foundries in Vancouver, various glass companies, lithographers in Vancouver, plumbing and steam-fitting industry, various garages in the Okanagan, cold-storage plants in Prince Rupert, and many others. L 108 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR The Board was also instrumental in bringing to satisfactory settlement strikes in the lathing trade; the sign-painting trade; at the Kelowna Exploration Company, Limited, at Hedley; and at the Western Crown Manufacturing Company, manufacturers of brooms, wash-boards, and woodenware, in Vancouver. The Chairman and members of the Board addressed meetings of the following organizations: Victoria Police Union; University of British Columbia, Department of Commerce, Personnel Management Class; British Columbia Building Contractors' Association; Vancouver Board of Trade Free Enterprise Club; Victoria Women's University Club; International Brotherhood of Bookbinders, Victoria; Kimberley Board of Trade; Quesnel Board of Trade; Duncan Chamber of Commerce; Campbell River Chamber of Commerce; Kamloops Board of Trade; Trail Board of Trade; Courtenay-Comox Chamber of Commerce and Alberni Chamber of Commerce; Prince George Board of Trade; Nanaimo Board of Trade; Northern Interior Lumbermen's Association; Okanagan and District Trades and Labour Council; International Association of Machinists; Kelowna Auto Workers' Union; United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, Kelowna; Saanich Municipal Employees' Association; James Island Chemical Workers' Union; Kelowna Board of Trade; Victoria and District Trades and Labour Council; International Woodworkers of America, No. 1-423, Kelowna; Kinsmen Club, Victoria; Vernon Rotary Club; Kelowna Rotary Club; British Columbia Provincial Council of Carpenters; International Union of Mine, Mill, and Smelter Workers, District Council Convention. So that employer and labour organizations may be kept informed of the work of the Board, publication of a Weekly Summary of Activities has been instituted, with a mailing- list of 215. This Summary sets out the appointment of Conciliation Officers, reports of Conciliation Officers, appointments of Conciliation Boards, reports of Conciliation Boards, and certificates of bargaining authority. On several occasions during this year the Summary has included Court decisions, and has been sent to all labour organizations of record. That the procedure of the Board has been successful in averting time-loss in industry is apparent when labour disputes beginning during the year are analysed. Eight such disputes commenced in 1949, involving 15 employers, 625 employees, and causing a time-loss of 14,772 man-days. Loss from strikes commencing in 1948, but terminated in 1949, brought the man-day loss to a total of 15,592. There was an additional strike-loss caused by a dispute in the fishing industry of 16,100 man-days. However, this dispute was not one that was within the jurisdiction of the Labour Relations Board. In terms of time-loss, the total for the year is the smallest since 1945. If the time- loss is compared as a percentage of the estimated total working-time of wage and salary earnings, the low figure for the year under review (0.034) has not been equalled since 1941. During the year the Board dealt with a total of 1,330 cases. There were 757 applications for certification, of which 594 were granted, 95 rejected, and 68 withdrawn. Thirty-nine others were being dealt with at December 31 st. In addition, there were 119 strike votes supervised and 80 representation votes conducted, 246 Conciliation Officers named, 97 Conciliation Boards appointed, 7 permissions to prosecute granted, and 12 grievance procedures provided. The 246 references to Conciliation Officers resulted in the settlement of 108 disputes. One hundred cases were referred to Boards of Conciliation; two were terminated at the request of the parties involved; four references were revoked; one withdrawn; and, in one instance, negotiations were completed, but the agreement had not been received at the year's end. Thirty cases were outstanding at December 31 st. One hundred cases were referred to Boards of Conciliation, but only 97 Boards were appointed. The discrepancy is explained by the fact that 15 references did not result in REPORT OF DEPUTY MINISTER, 1949 L 109 Boards in 1949. Two of these references resulted in but 1 Board. Ten Conciliation Boards established during the year under review resulted from recommendations by Conciliation Officers in 1948. Three Boards were established without prior referral to Conciliation Officers. Summaries of (I) Cases dealt with, (II) Conciliation, (III) Boards of Conciliation, (IV) Industrial Disputes, (V) Analysis of Industrial Disputes in British Columbia, 1935-49 (with graph), and (VI) Analysis of Disputes by Industries in British Columbia, 1949, follow.

In 1949 there were four arbitral tribunals (see section 26, "Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act") and one mediation committee (see section 27, "Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act"). All are designated as Boards of Conciliation in the table above. t The appointment of referees is no longer authorized by the provisions of the " Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act."

Application by the International Woodworkers of America to the Supreme Court On February 17th, 1949, the International Woodworkers of America applied to the Supreme Court of British Columbia for an order to restrain the Labour Relations Board of British Columbia from certifying any local of the Woodworkers' Industrial Union of Canada on various grounds, including the ground that the Woodworkers' Industrial Union of Canada had illegally attempted to disaffiliate the various locals of the International Woodworkers of America from the parent body and was improperly retaining the moneys and records of the International Woodworkers of America. The Court refused the application on April 1st, 1949. 2. Application by the Woodworkers' Industrial Union of Canada to the Supreme Court An application was made by the Woodworkers' Industrial Union of Canada asking the Supreme Court to direct that the Labour Relations Board certify the union as bargaining agent in certain operations. The Board claimed that it could not make decisions in respect of these applications until it had access to various records and documents that had been removed from the custody of the International Woodworkers of America. The Court upheld the position taken by the Board. 3. Application by the Bakery and Confectionery Workers' Union to the Supreme Court The Bakery and Confectionery Workers' Union, Local No. 468, applied to the Labour Relations Board to be certified for the employees of Scott-Bathgate, Limited. The application was refused on the ground that the union, by the terms of its constitution, could not accept the employees of Scott-Bathgate, Limited, as members of the union. Subsequently, an application was made for certification for the same employees by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Warehousemen and Helpers. The Bakery and Confectionery Workers' Union then applied to the Supreme Court alleging that the Labour Relations Board had no right to inquire into the question of jurisdiction and asking the Court to order the Labour Relations Board to certify the Bakery and Confectionery Workers' Union. At the same time the union asked the Court to prohibit the Labour Relations Board from adjudicating upon the application made by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Warehousemen and Helpers. The Court upheld the Labour Relations Board in its rejection of the Bakery and Confectionery Workers' Union as bargaining authority for the employees of Scott- REPORT OF DEPUTY MINISTER, 1949 L 141 Bathgate, Limited, and the Bakery and Confectionery Workers' Union withdrew its application to prohibit adjudication by the Board of the application by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Warehousemen and Helpers for certification. 4. Application by the Vancouver Island Drivers' Division (C.B.R.E. and O.T.W.) to the Supreme Court The Vancouver Island Drivers' Division, No. 234, of the Canadian Brotherhood of Railway Employees and Other Transport Workers applied to the Supreme Court on August 17th, 1949, for an order to compel the Labour Relations Board to cancel its certificate of the General Truck Drivers' and Helpers' Union, Local No. 31, as bargaining authority for employees of Schofield & Malpass, Limited, Nanaimo, on the ground that there was in existence a collective agreement of which ten months had not expired. The Board claimed that the action of the Board could not be reviewed by way of a mandamus. The position taken by the Board was upheld by the Court. SUMMARY OF PROSECUTIONS FOR 1949 There were no charges laid during the year by the Labour Relations Board (British Columbia). However, the Board gave consents to the prosecution of eleven charges. Nine of these charges were not proceeded with; one charge was dismissed in Police Court; and one charge has not been reported upon. Respectfully submitted. J. Pitcairn Hogg, Chairman. M. F. Macintosh. F. W. Smelts. G. A. Wilkinson. H. Strange. EMPLOYERS' AND EMPLOYEES' (LABOUR) ORGANIZATIONS Certain information is required annually from 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 December 31st, 1949. 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." Such a determination lies to the Labour Relations Board (British Columbia). Every care is taken to ensure accuracy in all returns which are compiled by the Labour Division of the Bureau of Economics and Statistics working in conjunction with the staff of the Labour Relations Board. Revisions may be made, however, in the light of later information. Organizations which have been established since December 31st, 1949, are not included in this report, but will be shown in 1950. Table VII shows that organized labour membership has continued to grow during 1949, from 142,989 in 1948 to 146,259 in 1949. This represents an increase of 2.29 per cent over the 1948 membership. Since December 31st, 1939, the reported membership was increased by 225.98 per cent, the membership in that year being 44,867 compared with 146,259 in 1949. In 1949 the reported membership of labour organizations represents 32.94 per cent of the estimated total labour force in British Columbia. L 142 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR Chart I is an attempt to portray the distribution of trade-union membership by major industrial groups. The various locals have been classified into the category in which the majority of their members are employed. It indicates what industrial fields have the greatest number of union members. It does not, however, show which groups are the most highly organized, as total employment data were not available for each category. The following indicate the most important unions in the leading categories:— The " services " group, consisting largely of municipal and Provincial employees, is the largest category, containing 23.35 per cent of the total membership. Two of the largest organizations represented are the British Columbia Provincial Government Employees' Association and the British Columbia Teachers' Federation. Another organization of considerable size included in this category is the Hotel and Restaurant Employees and Bartenders' International Union. Closely following the " services " group in size is the " wood and wood products " • group, with 20.96 per cent of the total membership. The International Woodworkers of America is the largest union in this group. Others are the International Brotherhood of Pulp, Sulphite and Paper-mill workers, the Woodworkers' Industrial Union of Canada, and the International Brotherhood of Paper Makers. The " other transportation " group consists of all trades and occupations connected with transportation other than railway unions. Seamen, longshoremen, electric and motor coach employees, teamsters, chauffeurs, and warehousemen are represented in this category. The largest union in the " construction " group is the Carpenters and Joiners of America. The remainder includes other " craft" organizations whose members are chiefly or solely engaged in the building or construction industries. The " mining and quarrying " group is largely composed of the United Mine Workers of America and the International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers. The " steam-railway transportation " group includes the four large independent railway unions, as well as the large membership of the Canadian Brotherhood of Railway Employees and Other Transport Workers. The " metals " group contains such unions as the Sheet Metal Workers' International Association and the Shipyard General Workers Federation of the Province.
