LABOUR FOR 1949
This Annual Report for the year 1949, the thirty-second chronicle of the activities
of the Department, records another year of stability and progress in the march of
industrial development which has become increasingly apparent during the past few years.
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

returns, and additional services not included in the tables; namely, Governmental
workers, wholesale and retail firms, ocean services, miscellaneous (estimated payroll) 220,663,048

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.

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.

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:—

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

CLERICAL WORKERS' AVERAGE WEEKLY EARNINGS
In addition to wage-earners, the 1949 survey was further extended to cover details
of the weekly earnings of the clerical group. 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. Representing the weekly earnings for clerical workers in all industries, L 12
DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR
the average figure for male employees increased to $50.55 in 1949 from $48.39 recorded
for the previous year, while for the female workers the average weekly earnings rose to
$31.85, as against $30 noted in 1948.
Figures representing average weekly earnings for clerks, stenographers, and sales-

INDUSTRIAL WAGE
Continued upward movement in the trend of price levels and the resultant cost of
living forced further wage increases in most industries during 1949.
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.
Average industrial weekly earnings from 1918 to 1949 are as follows:—

The above bar diagrams show the relative percentages of male wage-earners in the
various wage classifications from 1945 to 1949. 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.
The following table shows the variation of employment in each industry during the
past two years:— L 16

"HOURS OF WORK ACT"
As an indication of the trend of industrial hours of work, the Board has shown a
computed figure representing the average weekly working-hours of all wage-earners in
industry for each successive year since the " Hours of Work Act " became effective.
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:—

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.

In answer to the question regarding hours of work, the 9,020 firms reporting to the
Department of Labour submitted information concerning some 161,945 male and female
wage-earners for the year 1949. 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.

STATISTICS OF CIVIC AND MUNICIPAL WORKERS
Under this heading, statistical tables have been compiled on the basis of information submitted to the Department of Labour by the various cities and municipalities
throughout the Province, reporting on employment and payroll totals of civic and
municipal workers for the year 1949.
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:—

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

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. REPORT OF DEPUTY MINISTER, 1949 L 43

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

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.

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.

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.

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,

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.

of firms reporting increasing slightly over the previous year, with a corresponding rise in
total employment from 5,950 in 1948 to 6,120 for the year under review.
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

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

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.

Summarized in the above table are returns from 8,220 firms reporting actual figures
concerning some 61,874 women and girl employees for the year 1949.
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

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

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

The eighty-six hospitals and nursing-homes reporting in time for classification in the
above table showed a total employment of 3,473 female workers, exclusive of nursing
staff.
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

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:-—•

CONCLUSION
In March, 1949, A. M. Whisker, who had been with the Department for a number
of years and had latterly held the position of executive administrative officer, resigned
and in July, 1949, M. 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.
We have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your obedient servants,

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.

table above.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS INVOLVING THE LABOUR RELATIONS
BOARD (BRITISH COLUMBIA)
1. 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.

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.
