For others in order of increase see " Comparison of Payrolls " in the Report data. Lower levels of employment, together with curtailment of overtime and extra shifts, and some loss of time due to labour unrest were factors in the drop in over-all total labour costs during 1958. While some improvement was noted in employment totals as the year progressed, with few exceptions, decreases were generally apparent in most classifications of the 1958 survey. The seasonal peak was again reached in August, with a total of 187,748 industrial workers shown on payroll for that month compared with a summary total of 224,130 during the same high month of 1957. The trend toward a shorter work-week was still apparent in 1958, the average working-hours for all wage-earners in the current survey being recorded at a new low of 40.61 hours, down from 41.06 hours for an average week during the previous year. F 12 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR Payroll Labour costs in terms of salaries and wages reported by the 9,307 industrial firms filing returns in time for tabulation in the 1958 summaries amounted to $851,866,103, this total representing the known industrial payroll for that year. In approximating the estimated over-all payroll for the Province, however, various supplementary items of labour expenditure not already included are added to the industrial total. The accumulative figure comprising the industrial total, together with these additional items of expenditure as noted below, was estimated at $1,465,000,000 for 1958.

For all industrial wage-earners included in the survey, the percentage increase was 2.22 per cent, as compared with a gain of 3.94 per cent in 1957. Higher average weekly earnings were noted in twenty-two of the twenty-five industrial classifications relating to the wage-earner group, and minor losses where they occurred were due primarily to a lessening of productive activity rather than to a downward trend in the actual wage rates. Shown in the table following are the average weekly earnings for male wage-earners, based on one week of peak employment in each industry covered by the survey for the years 1951 to 1958.

This separate text, however, provides a ready comparison of the current information with similar figures for previous years. Returns were received from some 148 civic and municipal administrations in time for tabulation in the 1958 summaries, the reports showing labour costs for that year amounting to $31,924,392, an increase of $3,760,798 from the payroll total of $28,163,594 noted in 1957. 1956 1957 1958 $2,595,703 3,512,842 17,273,028 $2,766,596 4,590,136 20,806,862 $3,246,533 5,578,003 23,099,856 Totals $23,381,573 $28,163,594 $31,924,392 Substantial increases in employment of civic and municipal workers was again noted in 1958, with totals higher in both the wage-earner classification and the clerical section.

In the wage-earner classification, average weekly earnings reached a new high mark of $73.15, well above the previous record of $68.06 established for this group in 1957. Increased earnings were also in evidence for clerical personnel, the average figure representative of weekly earnings in this section rising to $79.30 for male employees, compared with an average of $72.42 noted in 1957. For female workers in clerical occupations, earnings for an average week were computed at $53.61, up from the average figure of $49.09 on record for this group during the previous year. The average work-week for civic and municipal employees was a little shorter in 1958, both for wage-earners and clerical personnel. For the 6,084 wage-earners included in the survey dealing with time worked the average week was computed at 40.12 hours, just below the figure of 40.14 hours noted for a similar survey period in 1957. Working-time for the 1,458 employees in clerical occupations was also less than during the previous year, the average week for this group being recorded at 35.39 hours, down from 35.66 hours noted in the 1957 survey. F 48 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR Progressive improvement in the general welfare and standard of living for women in industry and business is again reflected in the annual survey for 1958, which is summarized in the following section, together with comparative information covering previous years. Based on one week of greatest employment each year, the tables point up the significant changes occurring in the various industrial classifications and occupational groups within the coverage of the minimum wage and hours-of-work legislation, as set by the Board) P - During the 1958 survey a total of 9,181 firms filed information concerning females employed, the reports indicating a coverage of some 74,541 women workers in all classifications of business and industry.

Representing the second largest classification of female employment, the 1958 survey in the mercantile section showed a total coverage of 14,152 female workers, considerably above the reported total for 1957, although fewer firms completed returns in that year. Earnings increased for women employed in mercantile establishments, the average weekly figure increasing to $37.69 in 1958, up from $36.53 previously reported. While employment totals are based on the greatest payroll coverage during the year, this week sometimes occurs during the Christmas period in the mercantile industry, resulting in occasional fluctuation in the averages computed for this section, due to a short week or overtime hours during the holiday period. Average working-time during the survey week in 1958 was 33.70 hours, as compared with 35.06 hours for the week under review in 1957. ~ Laundry, Clean! rig and Dyeing Industries (Female) 1958 1957 1956 1955 1954 236 2,516 $95,686.00 $38.03 36.73 260 2,741 $104,208.00 $38.02 36.55 234 2,682 $95,712.00 $35.69 37.34 236 2,797 $97,185.00 $34.75 37.69 248 Total number of employees™— — 2,604 $90,153.00 $34.62 37.46 A total of 236 firms reported in time for tabulation in the laundry, cleaning and dyeing section, the returns indicating an over-all employment of 2,516 female workers in this classification for 1958.

The 1958 level of weekly earnings and hours of work for women employed in laundries and cleaning establishments remained almost unchanged from the previous year. Average weekly earnings for female workers was computed at $38.03, compared with F 52 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR Transportation Industry (Female) 1958 1957 1956 1955 1954 Number of firms reporting Total number of employees- Total weekly earnings- Average weekly earnings Average hours worked per week~ 63 236 $10,757.00 $45.58 37.72 58 167 $6,770.00 $40.54 38.11 61 159 $6,288.00 $39.55 38.19 57 128 $4,560.00 $35.63 38.64 58 135 $4,689.00 $34.73 37.39 Women workers included in the above transportation table are engaged in delivery work, trucking, messenger services, and similar occupations relating to the transportation industry in general, and while the classification remains a relatively small one, increases in the number of women employed in this type of work have been noted for the past three years. Conditions of work and wages have also shown considerable improvement in recent surveys. Returns from the sixty-three firms reporting female employees in this type of work during 1958 showed a total coverage of 236 workers, a substantial increase from the 167 reported in 1957. Average weekly earnings for women in transportation occupations showed a sizeable increase in 1958, the average figure of $40.54 noted in 1957 rising sharply to $45.58 for the week under review in the current survey. Weekly hours of work averaged a little less in 1958 than during the previous year, the 1957 average week of 38.11 hours decreasing slightly to 37.72 hours for a similar week in 1958.

Due to the part-time and casual nature of this type of work, it should be noted that the weekly averages of earnings and hours of work in the above table are representative only of a partial week and must not be considered as full-time employment comparable with other classifications. During the 1958 survey a total of ninety-six firms completed returns in this section, the reports indicating a total of 600 women employees in occupations similar to those mentioned above. Compared with previous figures, this represents a considerable increase from the 523 female workers reported by ninety-seven firms in 1957. Average earnings computed for the representative number of hours worked during a survey week in 1958 was $25.23 in this category, the earnings being based on a part- time week of 26.15 hours. Similar averages obtained in 1957 showed the previous year earnings at $21.82 for a representative part-time week of 24.45 hours.

A total of sixty-three firms reported employees in this section, the reports listing a total of 232 female workers in all types of personal-service work. Employment coverage in the current survey was considerably greater than during the previous year for this classification. In the case of personal-service workers employed in medical offices, classification difficulties sometimes occur due to the employees being occasionally engaged in clerical duties in addition to their specialized work. The data used in the above table should therefore be considered as a sampling where possible from the returns, rather than a complete record of all persons in work of this nature. Increased earnings were apparent in this classification, although some increase was also noted in the length of the work-week. Average weekly salary for females in personal- service work increased to $53.36 in 1958, up from $48.53 in 1957. Compared with the previous year, working-hours in this section increased to an average figure of 37.49 for the survey week in 1958, up from 35.15 hours recorded in this classification during a similar week in 1957.

Compared with 1957, the number of firms reporting female workers increased to 9,181 from 8,430 previously shown. With a substantial increase in the number of reports filed, over-all employment of female workers under survey reached a new high of 74,541 in 1958, up from 73,414 noted in 1957. Increases in payroll totals, higher average earnings, and a shorter work-week were also featured in the summary table for 1958. Total amount of salaries and wages paid to the 74,541 females reported in the current survey was $3,238,097 for the week under review, compared with a payroll of $3,073,795 for the 73,414 women reported employed during a representative week of 1957. Highest figure yet reported for average per capita weekly earnings was noted in 1958, with individual weekly earnings for female workers recorded at $43.44 during the week of the 1958 survey, up from an average figure of $41.87 computed for all occupations under study during a similar week in 1957. BOARD OF INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS F 55 Statistical Summary Covering Hospital-workers (Female) Concurrently with the annual surveys of women workers in business and industry, an inquiry is directed each year to all public and private hospitals, solariums, homes for the aged and infirm, and like institutions, the returns providing information relating to the employment, hours of work, and weekly earnings of female workers, exclusive of nursing staff. In the operation and maintenance of British Columbia's hospitals and institutions, vocational opportunities for female employment continue to increase. Expansion of these services in keeping with the demand for accommodation and additional facilities continues to provide a constant source of employment, not only in professional occupations closely related to hospital care, but in a wide variety of supplementary jobs most suited to female workers. A summary of occupational classifications resulting from the 1958 survey is shown in the table below, with payroll information relating to employment, earnings, and hours of work for each individual group. Where possible from the returns, all female workers were classified according to the nature of their work, with the exception of nursing staffs, which are not included in the coverage of the survey.

Employment in all hospital occupations was a little above the previous year, the 1958 survey showing a total of 6,335 women employed in all job classifications (exclusive of nursing staff), as compared with 6,306 reported during the previous year. Considerable increase was again noted in the average earnings for most job classifications in the hospital survey, while only a slight upward variation was noted in average hours worked. In order of classification mentioned in the table, laundry-workers in the employ of hospitals or institutions numbered some 662 in the 1958 survey, a little below the total for the previous year. Average weekly earnings for this group, however, increased to BOARD OF INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS F 57 Average individual weekly earnings recorded for the 6,335 female workers in all hospital occupations under survey for 1958 climbed to $41.13, increased from $38.75 listed as the average covering all occupations in 1957. The average work-week was a little longer than in 1957* the 1958 survey showing 37.0 hours, a fraction above the 36.8 hours noted for all hospital-workers during the survey week of the previous year. Statistics for Male Employees Composite tables embracing many industrial classifications under a common heading, such as " Construction," " Lumber Industries," etc., may be broken down to separate some of the larger groups of workers in various trades and industrial occupations, in such a way that comparisons may be made from year to year regarding employment, average earnings, and hours of work. Some examples of the various classifications for which separate data may be shown in comparison with previous years are contained in the tables which follow, based on payroll information reported during a representative week of peak employment.

Department cars travelled 179,777 miles in connection with the administration of the legislation. As certain employees exercised their civil rights under the Male and Female Minimum Wage Acts through the Courts without coming to the Department, it may be presumed that the amount of money paid to employees as a result of legislation administered by this Department is considerably in excess of that recorded in the following table:— Comparison of Investigations and Wage Adjustments, 1958 and 1959 1958 1959 Number of investigations 27,108 28,296 Number of Industrial Relations Officers1 25 25 " Male Minimum Wage Act "— Firms involved 124 67 Employees affected 443 379 Arrears paid $17,797.87 $10,719.14 " Female Minimum Wage Act "— Firms involved 47 36 Employees affected 151 77 Arrears paid $3,191.03 $1,624.85 " Annual Holidays Act "— Firms involved 892 749 Employees affected 2,622 1,225 Arrears paid $61,575.43 $33,096.65 Total adjustments $82,564.332 $45,440.642 1 Average. 2 In addition to the adjustments made under the Minimum Wage and Holidays Acts, 656 firms paid 838 employees $62,549.61 under the provisions of the "Semi-monthly Payment of Wages Act." Total adjustments for 1959 were therefore $107,990.25. Total adjustments for 1958 were $162,060.82. Court Cases When employers fail to co-operate with the Department in the matter of compliance with the provisions of the orders and regulations of the Board, it is necessary to resort to the Courts in order that the necessary compliance with the legislation will be obtained.

Harvey - Parliament Buildings, Victoria. The Honourable the Minister of Labour, Parliament Buildings, Victoria, B.C. Sir,—I have the honour to present the annual report of the Labour Relations Branch for the year ended December 31st, 1959. The Labour Relations Board met during the year on fifty-five occasions, authorized the issuance of 731 certificates, and rejected 184 applications for certification. Seventy- four applications were withdrawn. The Board entertained ninety-five applications for decertification; forty were rejected and fifty-five authorized. Administrative personnel conducted sixty-one representation votes. The Board granted applicants permission to prosecute upon fourteen occasions. Sixteen orders were made by the Board pursuant to section 7 of the "Labour Relations Act."* * This section provides that if upon inquiry it is proven to the satisfaction of the Labour Relations Board that an employer, trade-union, or person is doing any of the acts prohibited by sections 4, 5, and 6 of the Act (which include engaging in unfair labour practices, attempting to persuade employees to join or not to join a trade-union during working- hours, and using coercion or intimidation to compel or induce a person to become, or refrain from becoming, a member of a trade-union), the Board may order the employer, trade-union, or person to cease doing the prohibited act, and to rectify the act so done. F 62 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR There were 329 disputes referred to Conciliation Officers during the year. Forty- one cases, unterminated on December 31st, 1958, were carried over from the preceding year. Settlements by Conciliation Officers Of these, Conciliation Officers settled 166, and 111 cases were referred to Conciliation Boards. In twelve cases the application for the appointment of a Conciliation Officer was withdrawn or the appointment cancelled, and in fifty-four cases Conciliation Officers did not recommend Conciliation Boards. There were twenty-seven cases unterminated at the year's end. Of the 370 disputes dealt with by Conciliation Officers, fifty-four were referrals by them in conformity with the provisions of section 29 of the " Labour Relations Act"; that is, the Officer reported that it was not advisable to appoint a Conciliation Board, and therefore made recommendations concerning the matters in dispute. Nine similar cases, unterminated at December 31st, 1958, were carried forward. At your discretion, Sir, these recommendations were sent to the parties, and in each instance took the place of a report of the Conciliation Board. Of these sixty-three disputes, in fifteen instances the Officers' reports resulted in immediate settlement; there was eventual settlement, without time-loss, in thirty-seven instances, and in four instances only did time-loss result. In seven cases the decisions of the parties, upon the acceptance or rejection of the Officers' reports, had not been received at December 31st, 1959. In accordance with the provisions of the " Labour Relations Act," chairmen were named by the Minister for seventy-three Conciliation Boards. The nominees of the disputant parties selected chairmen on forty occasions. Of the 121 cases referred to Conciliation Boards, 111 Boards were appointed as the result of the recommendations of Conciliation Officers, and two Boards were appointed without prior reference to Conciliation Officers. In three instances the dispute was settled before the Board was appointed, and one application was withdrawn. In the remaining four cases, Boards had been recommended but not appointed at December 31st. Administrative personnel conducted 361 strike votes. Arbitration Boards On the requisite application, in cases where grievance procedure under collective agreements had been invoked, chairmen were named to twenty-five Arbitration Boards.

During the war years and prior to 1947 the Canadian and Provincial Governments worked jointly in the field of labour relations. Figures for 1945-47 thus show time-loss of all disputes. 6 Figures from 1948 to 1959 exclude disputes not within the scope of the " Labour Relations Act." 6 Estimate only.

It granted fourteen and rejected five. Annuo. Survey of Organized Labour Certain information is required annually from associations of industrial workers or trade-unions pursuant to the provisions of section 5 (a) 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, in this instance, to January 1st, 1959. Members over three months in arrears are not included. B 70 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR The inclusion of the name of any organization in the listing "Organizations of Employees (Labour Organizations)" does not necessarily constitute its recognition as a trade-union within the meaning of the " Labour Relations Act." The survey of organized labour in British Columbia was again conducted in cooperation with the Department of Labour (Canada), in conjunction with the Provincial Bureau of Economics and Statistics. The results of that survey are summarized in the following table. Labour Membership Figures concerning organized labour membership as shown in this year's survey may be found in Table VIII. The total membership report as of January 1st of this year numbers 219,279, a decline from the peak figure reached in 1958. Inasmuch as the total number of paid workers in British Columbia increased and trade-union membership decreased, the percentage relationship between organized labour membership and paid workers now stands at 48.2 per cent, compared with 53.9 per cent in the previous year. The chart shows the distribution of organized labour membership by major industrial groups, each local having been classified into the group in which the majority of its members are employed. It indicates those industrial fields which have the greatest number of union members. It does not, however, show which groups are most highly organized, as comparable total employment data are not available for the various categories. Services Group Again Retains Highest Membership The industrial distribution of total organized labour membership shows little basic change from 1958. The Services groups (public and personal), consisting largely of government and municipal employees, is the largest component, with 23.1 per cent of the total membership. The Wood and Wood Products group is next in size, and accounts for approximately 14.9 per cent of the total organized labour membership. The larger organizations of this group consist of the International Woodworkers of America, the International Brotherhood of Papermakers and Paperworkers, and the International Brotherhood of Pulp, Sulphite and Paper Makers. The Construction group is the third in size. The largest union in this group is the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America. Following closely is the Food Products group, of which the United Packinghouse Workers is one of the larger organizations. The Transportation group consists of two categories, one of which is the railway transportation group containing the three large independent railway unions in the running trades and the large membership of the Canadian Brotherhood of Railway, Transport and General Workers. The other Transportation group consists of all trades and occupations connected with transportation other than railroads. It includes air services, seamen, longshoremen, teamsters, chauffeurs, and warehousemen. Next in membership size is the Metals group and this component contains such unions as the International Association of Machinists and the Shipyard General Workers Union.

F 90 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR Control of Employment of Children Unless a permit has been granted to the employer by the Minister of Labour or a person duly authorized by him to issue such permits, the employment of children under 15 years of age in certain designated occupations or industries is prohibited by the " Control of Employment of Children Act." In order that the health and scholastic standing of the children will not be adversely affected by their work in industry or business, the Department works in close co-operation with the school authorities and the parents or guardians of the children. Permits are issued only when it has been established that the child's health will not suffer, and that the work will not expose the boy or girl to unsafe conditions or interfere with their standing at school. The Schedule to the Act specifies and defines the occupations or industries for which permits are required; these include:— (1) Manufacturing industry. (2) Ship-building industry. (3) Generation of electricity or motor power of any kind. (4) Logging industry. (5) Construction industry. (6) Catering industry. (7) Public places of amusement. (8) Mercantile industry. (9) Shoe-shine stands. (10) Automobile service-stations. (11) Transportation industry. (12) Laundry, cleaning and dyeing industry.

A difference in the rate of pay between a female and a male employee based on any factor other than sex is not a violation of the Act. No complaints were received under this Act during 1959. Summary of Proceedings under the " Equal Pay Act " Complaints received Totals 1954 to 1959, Inclusive Employers Complaints Involved 36i 33 Complaints referred to Industrial Relations Officers Complaints settled by Industrial Relations Officers 16 Complaints referred to the Board 17 Complaints withdrawn 1 10 7 5 2 1 1 In the case of one complaint the Act did not apply. In another case the wage differential was based on a factor other than sex and was therefore not a violation of the Act. APPRENTICESHIP AND TRADESMEN'S QUALIFICATION BRANCH F 99 trade which was prepared by British Columbia and agreed to extend that procedure to other suitable trades in the future. Apprentices completing their apprenticeship with interprovincial examination have their certificates endorsed to indicate that their standard will be recognized by the trade in other Provinces. Tradesmen's Qualification Section 19 of the Act provides for issuing certificates of proficiency to persons who have not served an apprenticeship and who wish to obtain a certificate. Section 19 of the Act places no compulsion on a person to obtain a certificate of proficiency, but does provide the opportunity for those who voluntarily submit to examination. This section has been made applicable by Order in Council to the trades of automobile mechanic, refrigeration, and radio-television servicing. Examinations were conducted in the trade of refrigeration and the trade of radio and television servicing. A trade committee has nearly completed the preparation of an examination for automobile mechanics. Fourteen persons applied for examination in the refrigeration trade, and eleven were successful in obtaining certificates. Twenty-three persons were examined in the radio-television servicing trade, and seventeen were successful in obtaining certificates. Other applications for this examination have been received for the next sitting of the examining board. Conclusion The year 1959 was one of steady activity for the Apprenticeship and Tradesmen's Qualification Branch. Considerable progress was made in improving the technical training programme for apprentices through constant revision of the training curriculum. The assistance of the Department of Education and civic School Boards contributed a great deal to this end. The co-operation of employers, employers' organizations, and trade-unions continued to make the programme effective. Respectfully submitted. Victor S. Hurrell, Director of Apprenticeship.
