Foreword
During the closing months of 1959 a co-operative arrangement was completed
between the British Columbia Department of Labour, the Dominion Bureau of
Statistics, and the Provincial Bureau of Economics and Statistics in the matter of
the collection of labour statistics within this Province. Prior to the date of this new
agreement the collection of labour statistics for the Department of Labour Annual
Report was maintained on the basis of annual industrial and business surveys covering employment, payrolls, and wage information conducted by the British Columbia
Bureau of Economics and Statistics. While these annual surveys provided continuity with previous years, as far as the British Columbia picture was concerned,
comparability of the data with that of other Provinces or Canada was not possible.
Some duplication of inquiry also resulted from Federal and Provincial surveys being
conducted within the Province at the same time. Under the agreement now in effect
the local collection of this material has been discontinued, and is replaced by the
joint collection of Provincial data through the Federal agency, and the sharing of
the information by both authorities. Under the new arrangement more timely
statistics on a monthly as well as on an annual basis can now be provided. The
1958 statistical section which was submitted in a previous Annual Report therefore
constitutes the last in an annual series which commenced with the first statistical
tables shown in the Annual Report of the British Columbia Department of Labour
for the year 1918. The statistical section which follows, covering the year 1959
and the first eight months of 1960, including historical trends, is based on data
similar to that in use by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, Ottawa.
Highlights of the 1959/60 Statistical
Report on Trades and Industries
This statistical review of the year 1959 and the first eight months of 1960
represents the forty-second in the annual series of reports issued by the Department.
From the general recession in some areas in the economy during 1958, the
year 1959 marked a period of considerable recovery, and satisfactory progress in
most instances. Recovery continued during the early months of 1960, but showed
diminishing strength as the year progressed.
A growing labour force employed at higher wages proved a strong factor in the
rise in the level of personal income, and with prices generally stable during the
greater part of 1959, consumer spending was relatively increased. Personal income
continued to rise in 1960, although consumer spending, particularly in durables and
semi-durables, was somewhat less than during the previous year.
Competitive market conditions abroad, and the difficulties of containing production costs in the face of rising wages, and labour-management problems continued to have their combined impact on the over-all economy.
Construction levels continued to decline from the high mark established in
1957, and although considerable manufacturing expansion and industrial development was evident during most of 1959, the decrease in housing construction during
the latter months of that year and in 1960 generally offset any over-all gains in
employment. Continuation of the Municipal Winter Works Incentive Programme
during the 1959-60 period, with the sharing of labour costs on approved projects
by municipal, Provincial, and Federal authorities, assisted in the over-all employment picture.
In spite of labour difficulties which hampered production during a portion of
1959, the forest industries showed increasing activity, with primary production
ahead, and considerable development noted in secondary industries, with further
plant expansion, new mills, and facilities taking shape in the programme for 1960.
The pulp and paper industry continued to expand, with further modernization
and improvement of existing plants and construction of new units. The growing
demand for pulp in world markets points the way to full utilization of all facilities
within the near future.
The production of natural gas and crude oil in Northern British Columbia
continued to grow in importance, in comparison with some sections of the mining
industry. Continued fluctuation of base-metal prices and difficulties relating to
import quotas in some instances created further set-backs in production schedules,
although the over-all value of mineral production at the year-end showed an increase
from 1958 totals. The 1960 production total has shown a further gain in base-metal
and oil and gas values.
Developments in hydro power continued apace, with construction of additional
units of generating capacity and transmission facilities under way by major utility
companies.
Average weekly hours of work showed little fluctuation from the 1958 figures,
with increases in some industries offset by decreases in other classifications. Longer
hours were apparent in the forest industries, highways, and bridge construction, and
some manufacturing industries, but were balanced by shorter working-time reported
in housing and general construction, service trades, mining, and transportation.

N 12 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR
Earnings for industrial workers were higher in 1959, and continued to advance
in 1960. Representing the industrial composite figure for all industrial workers, the
average weekly figure of wages and salaries rose to $80.09 in 1959, as compared
with $75.88 in 1958, and reached a high point of $83.82 in June of 1960. The
index of aggregate payrolls, based on the year 1949 as 100, rose to 202.1 from the
previous high point of 200.6 established in 1957, and was considerably above the
figure of 190.7 recorded in the recession of 1958. The index continued to climb in
1960, to show a high of 218.6 for the month of June. Detailed statistics on employment, hours, and earnings in major industries follow in separate tables.
Employment by Industrial Classifications
In spite of adverse factors which developed during the year, considerable
improvement was noted generally in the over-all employment picture during 1959.
Recovery from the lower totals of 1958 was particularly apparent in forestry, with
activity in logging increased due to improved conditions, a moist summer with
increased production during the usual period of forest closure, and a somewhat
brighter outlook in the construction field during the first half of the year. The
strike affecting the lumber industry during the third quarter constituted a major
set-back in production schedules for Coastal operators, but resulted in increased
activity for firms in the Interior. The employment index for logging rose 7 points
from the low of 67.8 recorded in 1958 to 74.8 in 1959. Construction totals were
higher than during the previous year, although the increase was confined to a
2.7-point rise in the index, from 110.2 in 1958 to 112.9 for the twelve months of
1959. Employment in trade and finance increased, the index rising from 116.2
to 118.4 and from 159.8 to 165.0 respectively in these two sections. The industrial
composite index for British Columbia, based on 1949 employment figures, rose from
114.7 in 1958 to 115.1 for the year under review.
In comparison with 1958 levels, employment totals in manufacturing, transportation, and service were slightly lower in 1959, the index for manufacturing declined
fractionally from 117.4 to 116.9, while the transportation index dropped from 125.4
to 123.2 and the service group from 124.0 to 121.8.
The industrial composite index and the index figures for the major divisions
are shown in Table 1, based on 1949 totals, for the years 1950 to 1959. Also shown
are the monthly trends in the above indicators for the twelve months of 1959 and
the first eight months of 1960. The impact of the lumber strike during July and
August of 1959 may be noted in the index figures for these months in certain of
the industrial divisions mostly affected.
The industrial composite index of employment in British Columbia was higher
for the first three months of 1960 than during the first quarter of 1959, but failed
to maintain strength in the usual period of increased labour activity in April, May,
and June, due largely to the drop in domestic construction and lower employment
in some manufacturing industries. The index for June of 1960 was noted at 119.2,
a little below the figure of 121.8 recorded for the industrial composite index in June
of 1959.

The Labour Force
Monthly totals showing the trends in employment and unemployment covering
a six-year period are shown in Table 2, the figures indicating the variation in the
total labour force, employment and unemployment, from 1954 to 1959 and during
the first ten months of 1960.
The table also shows the twelve months' average for each year, and the winter
and summer averages, based on a six months' coverage of the seasonal totals in
each case.
During the six-year period shown the total labour force increased from an
average figure of 461,000 in 1954 to 562,000 in 1959, while employment averages
rose from 437,000 to 526,000 during the same period. Relative totals of unemployed varied considerably during the six-year span, the monthly figures showing
a high employment ratio during the summer of 1956, when only some 5,000 persons
were reported as unemployed, in comparison with a lower ratio of employment
during the early months of 1958, when the total in this group rose to a high of
66,000. Latest monthly totals shown in the table for October, 1960, showed the
total labour force at 584,000, an increase over the previous month, but a little below
the high of 593,000 reached during the summer peak in July. In October, 1960,
total employed stood at 539,000, while those unemployed numbered 45,000 for
the same month.
Monthly trends in terms of total labour force, employment and unemployment,
for the period 1954 to 1959 and the first ten months of 1960, are shown in Fig. 3.
The shaded section between the trend lines on the chart represents that portion of
the total labour force unemployed. A graph showing the varying percentages of
the labour force included in this latter group follows, under heading of Fig. 4.

Hours
The survey of weekly hours worked by British Columbia firms showed a slight
upward movement during 1959, with an approximate 75 per cent of the major
classifications covered reporting working-hours increased from the lower levels of
the previous year. Greatest increases in average working-time were noted in the
logging industry, where the weekly average climbed to 35.8 hours from 32.5 previously recorded, and pulp and paper mills, with average working-time increased
from 35.8 to 39.6 hours in 1959. Sawmills and other wood-manufacturing plants
showed somewhat longer hours in 1959, while smaller increases were also apparent
in highways, bridges, and street construction, ship-building, and most manufacturing
establishments. Average weekly hours for all manufacturing in British Columbia
increased to 37.9 from 37.3 during the previous year. With a few exceptions, most
increases were sustained during the first eight months of 1960, although shorter
hours were noted in some industries during the second quarter.
Shorter working-time was evident in some sections of the construction industry,
and noticeably in the service trades. Comparative average working-hours for
selected industries covered in the survey may be noted in the tables which follow,
together with similar figures for previous years.
Labour Income
The total of wages, salaries, and supplementary income received by paid
workers in British Columbia during 1959 was estimated at $1,881,000,000, an
approximate 8-per-cent increase over the figure of $1,742,000,000 for 1958.
The British Columbia figure represented some 10.6 per cent of the $17,717,-
000,000 national total for Canada in 1959.

On a monthly basis British Columbia labour payroll during 1959 rose from a
total of $143,000,000 for the month of January to a high of $169,100,000 for the
month of October. Beginning in July the monthly totals of labour income dropped
sharply during the third quarter, as a result of the loss of working-time caused by
the strike of some 27,000 forestry workers during that period. The monthly trend
of estimated labour income in British Columbia during 1959 is illustrated in Fig. 5,
together with a comparable picture of the first eight months of 1960.
High point during the first half of 1960 was reached in June, the total labour
income for that month being estimated at $172,200,000, compared with $167,-
600,000 in June of 1959. Labour income for the first eight months of 1960 was
some 6.7 per cent higher than during the corresponding period of the previous year.

Earnings
Average weekly wages and salaries in British Columbia advanced by some 5.5
per cent in 1959, and continued to show higher figures during the first eight months
of 1960. Representing the major group of non-agricultural industries, the industrial
composite figure for average weekly earnings rose to $80.09 in 1959, from $75.88
in 1958, and continued to increase in 1960, showing an average of $82.83 for the
first eight months of that year.
Almost without exception, increased earnings were shared by workers in all
classifications mentioned in the tables for 1959. Percentage increase in weekly
salaries and wages was greatest in the logging industry, with average weekly earnings
noted at $95.95, up 10.2 per cent from the previous year. An 8.2-per-cent rise in
average earnings was apparent for workers in public utilities, followed by the transportation industry, with an advance of 7.4 per cent. Service trades reported earnings increased by 6.9 per cent, while in the manufacturing group average weekly
salaries and wages for food and beverage workers increased by 6.3 per cent.
Average weekly earnings for workers in all British Columbia manufacturing
establishments climbed to $83.49 in 1959, an increase of 4.7 per cent from the figure
of $79.72 for the previous year. Comparative average earnings for major classifications and individual industries are listed in tables which follow, for the years 1950
to 1959 and the first eight months of 1960.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR
Changes in the Consumer Price Index are reflected in the annual and monthly
averages of real earnings based on 1949 doUars, as shown in Table 4 and Fig. 7.
While for wage-earners in manufacturing the 1959 average weekly earnings increased to $79.39 from $75.95, up 4.5 per cent, when expressed in terms of 1949
dollars, real earnings advanced only 3.4 per cent during that period. Relative
figures representing real earnings were $60.72 in 1958, increasing to $62.77 in 1959.
Also listed in the table are similar comparative figures showing the trend of monthly
averages and real earnings during the first eight months of 1960.

The Honourable the Minister of Labour,
Parliament Buildings, Victoria, B.C.
Sir,—We have the honour to present the twenty-seventh annual report of the
Board of Industrial Relations for the year ended December 31st, 1960.
Meetings and Delegations
The Board held fifty-two meetings during the year, forty-nine of which were
held in the City of Vancouver and three in the City of Victoria.
Hearings attended by representatives of employers and employees concerned
were held in connection with the revision of the Minimum Wage Orders concerning
public places of amusement, the construction industry, the occupation of patrolman,
and the pipe-line construction, oil-well drilling and service industries. Representations were also made in connection with the application of Order No. 12 to
employees of certain irrigation districts.
Orders and Regulations Made during 1960
Minimum Wage Orders
1. Male and Female Minimum Wage Order No. 31 (1960).—This Order,
which previously applied to employees employed in what may be referred to in
BOARD OF INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS N 33
general terms as public places of amusement, was broadened in its application to
include driving-school instructors, and employees of physical culture or health
clinics and studios, charm and modelling schools, zoos, and driving-schools. It
establishes a minimum wage of 75 cents per hour for all employees covered by the
Order, except pin-setters, who are required to be paid not less than 55 cents per
hour.
2. Construction Industry—Male Minimum Wage Order No. 12 (1960).—
This Order establishes a minimum wage of $2 per hour for " tradesmen " and $1.30
per hour for " other employees." The previous rates had been $1.50 and $1 per
hour respectively. Overtime requirements are revised to provide that employees
shall be paid a multiple rate for hours worked in excess of eight in the day and forty
in the week.
3. Pipe-line Construction Oil-well Drilling and Service Industries—Male and
Female Minimum Wage Order No. 28 (1960).—The Minimum Wage Order, which
had previous application only to employers and employees in the pipe-line construction industry, has been broadened to include in its application employers and employees in the oil-well drilling and service industries, as defined therein. The Order
establishes a minimum wage of $1.30 per hour for employees in those industries,
with the requirement that a multiple rate be paid for all hours worked in excess of
eight in the day and forty in the week.
4. The Occupation of Patrolman—Male and Female Minimum Wage Order
No. 32 (1960).—-This Order rescinds the previous Order, which had been in effect
for many years, and establishes a minimum wage of $1 per hour for patrolmen
employed by a private patrol agency, as defined. Whereas the rescinded Order
did not limit the working-hours of patrolmen, this Order requires the payment of a
multiple rate for hours worked in excess of eight in the day or in excess of eight in
any one shift, and also for hours worked in excess of forty-four in any one week.
Regulations Made Pursuant to the Hours of Work Act
Regulation No. 21 (1960).—By this regulation the fresh fruit and vegetable
industry was exempt from the operation of the Hours of Work Act from June 1st
to November 30th, 1960.
Regulation No. 42 (1960).—By this regulation, employees in the pipe-line
construction, oil-well drilling and service industries, as defined, are exempt from the
operation of the Hours of Work Act.
Christmas Regulation.—This annual regulation of the Board permits employees
in retail establishments to work up to ten hours a day on any two days during the
two-week period ending December 24th, 1960.
Investigations and Wage Adjustments
During the year 1960 the Industrial Relations Officers of the Department made
29,958 investigations, and through the efforts of the Department and the co-operation of the employers, adjustments made during 1960 amounted to $162,663.14.
Department cars travelled 183,806 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:—

employees $98,260.85 under the provisions of the Semi-monthly Payment of Wages Act. Total adjustments
for 1960 were therefore $162,663.14. Total adjustments for 1959 were $107,990.25.
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. A summary of Court cases during the year 1960 follows:—

Change in Board Membership
During the year Mr. D. McAlister and Mr. E. Campbell resigned for personal
reasons. One of the vacancies was filled on May 3rd, 1960, when Mr. R. B.
Carpenter, James Island, was appointed a member of the Board.
Conclusion
At this time the Board would like to thank employers, trade-unions, other
organizations, and employees for the co-operation extended to its officials during
the year 1960 in the administration of the various labour laws.
We have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your obedient servants,

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) Merchantile industry.
(9) Shoe-shine stands.
(10) Automobile service-stations.
(11) Transportation industry.
(12) Laundry, cleaning and dyeing industry.

N 38 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR
Fair Employment Practices Act
During the year two complaints under section 3 of the Act were referred to
Industrial Relations Officers, who advised that the complaints had been resolved to
the satisfaction of the complainants.
Four complaints under section 5 of the Act in connection with discriminatory
questions asked in advertisements of application for employment forms were
received. All matters with respect to these four complaints were satisfactorily concluded. Where necessary, revisions were made to application for employment forms
to meet the requirements of the Act.
A complaint made to the Department in 1959 was referred to the Board of
Industrial Relations under section 7 of the Act. An employer, after voluntarily
changing the application for employment form to settle all matters involved in the
complaint except one, maintained that it was not contrary to the Statute to retain
a question regarding an applicant's place of birth. The Board, after hearing representations, made its recommendation to the Director. The Director recommended
to the Minister that no form of application for employment, used or circulated by
the employer, shall contain any reference whatsoever to the place of birth of the
applicant for employment. The Minister, on this recommendation, accordingly
issued an Order under section 7(6) of the Statute.
The above-noted reference to the Board and Order issued by the Minister were
the first made under the Act.
The Department at this time would like to acknowledge with thanks the cooperation of employers who have revised their application for employment forms
to meet the requirements of the Statute. The co-operation of the Vancouver Labour
Committee for Human Rights, and its executive secretary, Mr. W. Giesbrecht, for
bringing violations of that Statute to the Department's attention is also acknowledged with thanks.

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, 1960.
It is with sincere regret that the death of William Fraser, Chief Conciliation
Officer, must be recorded. Mr. Fraser died suddenly, September 27th, while in
attendance at the annual meeting of the Canadian Association of Administrators of
Labour Legislation in the Empress Hotel, Victoria.
Mr. Fraser had been with the Department as Conciliation Officer since July
17th, 1944, and was made Chief Conciliation Officer January 1st, 1953. Though
past retirement age, his services had been continued because of his value to the
Department.
Mr. R. G. Clements, Senior Conciliation Officer, a member of the Department
since 1936, has since been appointed Chief Conciliation Officer.
N 40 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR
During the year, Mr. D. McAlister and Mr. E. Campbell, members of the
Labour Relations Board, resigned from the Board for personal reasons. Their
resignations were accepted with regret, and the vacancies thus created were filled by
the appointments of Mr. R. B. Carpenter, Works Manager, Canadian Industries
Ltd., James Island, and Mr. J. R. Edgett, of North Vancouver.
The past year has been noteworthy in that there have been fewer man-days
lost through industrial disputes than in any other year since 1955. The time-loss as
a percentage of the estimated total working time of wage and salary earners is but
.035, which is comparable to 1950 and 1955 in which minimal losses were recorded.
The time-loss involving disputes within the jurisdiction of the Province, compared
with 1959, is approximately one-fortieth of the total for that year.
During 1960, one dispute, involving three employers in the retail-trade classification, and 605 workers, was responsible for the loss of 30,352 man-days out of
a total loss during the year of 35,848 man-days.
Of the fourteen industrial disputes within the jurisdiction of the Province,
causing time-loss in 1960, two were carried over from 1959. Of the remaining
twelve, seven occurred without prior reference to conciliation procedure.
In addition, there has been a decrease in the number of strike votes supervised
by Departmental Officers, the number of appointments of Conciliation Officers, and
the number of appointments of Conciliation Boards. Fewer applications for certification were received than in 1959. However, the number of applications made to
the Labour Relations Board, pursuant to section 7 of the Labour Relations Act, has
shown an increase.
Section 7 of the Act provides that if upon inquiry it is shown to the satisfaction
of the 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 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 from doing the prohibited act, and to
rectify the act so done.
The Labour Relations Board met during the year on sixty-nine occasions,
authorized the issuance of 458 certificates, and rejected 109 applications for certification. Eighty-two applications were withdrawn.
The Board entertained ninety applications for decertification; thirty-eight were
rejected and fifty-two authorized.
Administrative personnel conducted forty-two representation votes.
The Board considered applications for permission to prosecute upon sixty-six
occasions: Fifty were granted, seven rejected, and nine withdrawn.
Forty-five orders were made by the Board pursuant to section 7 of the Labour
Relations Act.
There were 313 disputes referred to Conciliation Officers during the year.
Twenty-seven cases, unterminated at December 31st, 1959, were carried over from
the preceding year.
Settlements by Conciliation Officers
Of these, Conciliation Officers settled 127, and ninety were referred to Conciliation Boards. In thirteen cases the application for the appointment of a Conciliation Officer was withdrawn, or the appointment cancelled, and in sixty-three
cases Conciliation Officers did not recommend Boards. There were forty-seven
cases unterminated at the year's end.
LABOUR RELATIONS BRANCH
N 41
Of the 340 disputes dealt with by Conciliation Officers, sixty-three 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. Seven similar cases, unterminated at December 31st, 1959, were carried
forward. These recommendations were sent to the parties, and in each instance took
the place of a report of the Conciliation Board.
Of these seventy disputes, in seventeen instances the Officers' reports resulted
in immediate settlement; there was eventual settlement, without time-loss, in
eighteen instances, and in thirty-five cases the decisions of the parties, upon the
acceptance or rejection of the Officers' reports, had not been received at December
31st, 1960.
In accordance with the provisions of the Labour Relations Act, chairmen were
named by the Minister for fifty-three Conciliation Boards. The nominees of the
disputant parties selected chairmen on thirty-four occasions.
Ninety disputes were referred to Conciliation Boards by Conciliation Officers,
and one case was referred to a Board without prior reference to a Conciliation
Officer. In addition, four cases in which a Board had not been appointed at December 31st, 1959, were carried forward to 1960. Of these ninety-five referrals, two
were settled before Boards were appointed, one was withdrawn, ninety others were
covered by the eighty-seven Boards appointed, and in the remaining two cases
Boards had not been appointed at December 31st, 1960.
Administrative personnel conducted sixty-four strike votes.
Arbitration Boards
On the requisite application, in cases where grievance procedure under collective agreements had been invoked, chairmen were named to thirty-five Arbitration Boards.
Various tables descriptive of the work of the Branch follow.

Strikes and Lockouts in British Columbia, 1960
In the following tables, strikes and lockouts are recorded together. The
term " dispute " refers to either strike or lockout.
Figures shown are inclusive of all industrial disputes involving time-loss which
have come to the attention of the Department. Methods taken to obtain this information preclude the possibility of serious omission, but revisions may be made in
the light of later information.
Estimates of time-loss are computed by multiplying the number of days a
work stoppage lasts by the number of employees directly involved in the dispute
which leads to the strike or lockout, and who are on strike or lockout and not
replaced. Summaries include only the record of time lost by these workers.
Disputes are listed by industrial classifications, and in order of the date of
their commencement.

3 Figures in this column revised in 1953 as a result of revised estimates of total working-time of wage and
salary earners.
1 Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act came into force on May 15th, 1947, and replaced the British
Columbia Wartime Labour Relations Regulations Act, 1944. During the war years and prior to 1947 the Canadian and Provincial Governments worked jointly in the field of labour relations. Figures for 1946-47 thus show
time-loss of all disputes.
6 Figures from 1948 to 1960 exclude disputes not within the scope of the Labour Relations Act.

Legal Decisions Involving the Labour
Relations Board, 1960
Western District Diamond Drillers Union, Local 1005, International Union of Mine, Mill, and Smelter Workers
(Canada),
Applicant,
and
Minister of Labour for British Columbia,
Respondent.
LABOUR RELATIONS BRANCH N 49
On or before October 1st, 1958, Local 1005 entered into a collective agreement with Boyles Bros. Drilling Company Limited for a period of two years.
The agreement provided that it might be reopened with respect to wages only,
as of October 1st, 1959.
The Union gave notice of its desire to bargain collectively; the bargaining
did not result in agreement, and a Conciliation Officer was appointed. The report
of the officer was rejected by the Union which asked that a government-supervised
strike vote be taken.
The request for the strike vote was refused upon the ground that the opening
of the agreement for the purpose of negotiating wages did not terminate it. Section
46 (2) of the Labour Relations Act was also quoted as follows:—
" No employees bound by a collective agreement, whether entered into before
or after the commencement of this Act, shall strike during the term of the collective
agreement, and no person shall declare or authorize a strike of such employees."
Counsel for the Union submitted that the Minister was without jurisdiction
to refuse the vote and asked for an order by way of mandamus requiring the Minister to direct such a vote. It was argued that the agreement had been terminated,
or, alternatively, that the parts thereof dealing with wages had been terminated and
that the agreement was severable in that respect and that the provisions of the Act
relating to collective bargaining, strike votes, and strikes are applicable pro tanto
to the parts of the agreement relating to wages.
Counsel for the respondent argued inter alia that the interpretation suggested
by the Union would frustrate the two-year provision and suggested that there was
an agreement in force, notwithstanding the fact that the wage matter was in suspense
(and even if the wage item were out entirely), the agreement is still a collective
agreement.
Mr. Justice Norris on February 2nd, 1960, found that section 46 of the Act
operates to prevent a strike and it would be meaningless to take a strike vote,
mandamus would be an empty gesture, and the Court would not make an order
which is not effective.
Elsewhere the Judge found that section 23 (of the Labour Relations Act)
endeavours to bring about a measure of stability in the duration of agreements and
sets out the conditions under which labour agreements may be terminated. There is
nothing in this section or elsewhere in the Act which provides for the termination
of agreements in part. It was clear that the proviso in article II of the collective
agreement was repugnant to section 23 of the Act, and must give way to the provisions of the section and is therefore without effect.
The application was dismissed.
The Canadian Brotherhood of Railway, Transport, and General
Workers, Local 400, and Cock, Respondents,
v.
Labour Relations Board.
On November 7th, 1960, Mr. Justice H. W. Davey rendered the judgment of
the Court of Appeal, pursuant to section 26, subsection (2) of the Court of Appeal
Act, Mr. Justice Sidney Smith having died before the hearing of the appeal and
before the judgment of the Court was delivered.
The Canadian Brotherhood of Railway, Transport, and General Workers,
Local 400, had applied to the Labour Relations Board to be certified as representatives for a unit of employees of Black Ball Ferries Ltd., then represented by the
Seafarers' International Union of North America, Canadian District. The applica-
N 50 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR
tion was based upon the claim of the Local that the majority of the employees in
the unit, namely 90 out of 135, belonged to it and were members in good standing.
Regulations passed under the Act provide that for this purpose a member in
good standing is a person who has at the date of application for certification signed
an application for membership and has himself paid the specified union dues.
At the hearing before the Board the Local led evidence under oath that some
eighty-five employees out of the ninety had signed application cards for membership in the Local and had themselves paid the dues required by Regulation 8.
Specifically, it was testified that six Chinese, included in the eighty-five members,
had themselves paid the necessary dues, and their signed applications and the
receipts issued to them for the dues were filed with the Board. The Seafarers'
Union, in its turn, called the six Chinese and each swore that he had not paid the
dues. The Board also had before it the information elicited by its own investigation
of the application.
The Board rejected the application upon the ground that it was " satisfied
that membership in good standing has been falsely represented by the applicant. . ."
The Local, and Cock acting on behalf of its officers, then moved for writs of
certiorari and mandamus to quash the decision of the Board and require it to
certify the Local as the representative of the unit, or alternatively to order a representation vote by the employees in the unit, or to direct the Board to hear and
determine the application according to law.
It was argued that even if the six Chinese had not themselves paid the necessary
dues and were not members in good standing in the Local it still had as members
in good standing a majority of the employees in the unit, which entitled it to
certification.
The learned Judge in the Court below had upheld these objections, quashed
the decision of the Board, and had directed the Board to hear and determine the
application according to law.
The Labour Relations Board appealed.
Mr. Justice Davey in his judgment expressed the opinion that " these writs
should not be granted, even upon grounds otherwise legally sufficient, to applicants
who in the matters have committed the fraud, trickery, and apparently perjury,
found against the respondents here."
He would " allow the appeal and dismiss the motion."
Annual Survey of Organized Labour in British
Columbia, 1960
The annual survey of organized labour in British Columbia was again conducted by the Provincial Bureau of Economics and Statistics, working in conjunction with the British Columbia Department of Labour and the Federal Department
of Labour at Ottawa. On the basis of information received from trade-unions,
organizations and associations of workers reporting in the survey, details of union
membership as of January 1st, 1960, are shown in the summary table which follows
in this section, with comparative figures for previous years. A chart is also included
showing the percentage distribution of trade-union membership by industrial classifications as of the above date.
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.
LABOUR RELATIONS BRANCH
N 51
Labour Membership
Total membership reported in the 1960 survey of organized labour in British
Columbia was 215,437 as of January 1st, a decrease of 1.75 per cent from the 1959
total of 219,279. The estimate of paid workers in British Columbia was below the
revised figure for 1959 (448,000 as compared with a revised total of 452,000). At
the same time the percentage of organized-labour membership represented in relation
to the paid workers decreased from 48.5 to 48.1 per cent in 1960. A broad classification of the major industrial groupings is contained in the chart which follows Table
VIII, indicating the proportionate distribution of over-all membership.
Major Industrial Groups
Public and personal service groups were again in the lead, accounting for the
highest percentage of the total membership figure. Some 30.4 per cent of the total
union members were reported in this composite group, the classification consisting
mainly of Federal, Provincial, and municipal employees. Manufacturing industries
claimed the next largest body of union workers, with 24.9 per cent of the over-all
total included in this section. Greatest coverage of union organization in the manufacturing classification was in wood and wood products, this group alone accounting
for 13.7 per cent of membership distribution on the chart. Third largest section of
union membership was in the construction industry, which accounted for 15.3 per
cent of the total, followed by the composite group covering transportation and communications with 13.9 per cent of all union workers. Other group classifications
represented on the chart include the logging industry with 4.6 per cent of the total;
fishing workers, 3.6 per cent; trade, 2.4 per cent; public utilities, 1.3 per cent; and
all others, 0.3 per cent.
Geographical Distribution
The list of British Columbia labour organizations, which follows, is arranged
alphabetically according to location. It should be noted that in accordance with
changes in the 1960 questionnaire the designated location of the union local signifies
" the city or town where most of the members are employed," and therefore may not
necessarily agree with the post-office address of the organization or addresses of
the union officials.

N 72 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR
Sleport of the Factories Inspection Branch
Administrative Office - - 411 Dunsmuir Street, Vancouver 3, B.C.
Administrative Official of the Branch
Robert M. Purdie - Chief Inspector of Factories
The Honourable the Minister of Labour,
Parliament Buildings, Victoria, B.C.
Sir,—I have the honour to submit the annual report of the Factories Inspection
Branch for the year 1960.
Elevators
A slight decrease in the number of new installations was noted in the elevator
field during the year. This, however, did not ease the duties of the Inspectors in any
way as the widening of the inspection field is fast becoming a problem. We were
fortunate in 1960 to complete all elevator equipment inspections by the end of
December.
It is of interest to note that no car switch-operated elevators were installed in
the Province in 1960. While this may be bad news for licensed operators, it indicates the trend toward operatorless elevators and is another contribution to the
push-button age.
In the early part of November Mr. W. G. Ferrier, Chairman of the Canadian
Standards Association B44-1960 Safety Code for Elevators, Dumbwaiters and Escalators, called at the Department office with a view to discussing and explaining
interpretations of the Code with the Elevator Inspectors. Meetings over two days
proved of great interest and benefit to the Department. The aim of the C.S.A. is to
have all Provinces operating under a standard code for elevators. Mr. Ferrier has
been an untiring worker to this end and is ever ready to assist the various inspection
departments with any Code problems.
The B44-1960 Code was published in June, 1960. Several of the Provinces
have already adopted it and all others have adoption under consideration.
We are again proud to state that no fatal or serious accident occurred on any
elevating equipment under our jurisdiction during the year 1960.

Factories
New factory construction dropped considerably during 1960, although plans
examined for such amounted to $22,136,500. The Kootenays saw their first pulp-
mill opening before the end of the year and this multi-million dollar project was the
largest factory completed in the Province during the year.
There were only seven new multi-million dollar factories constructed during the
year, whereas the majority consisted of excellent medium-sized buildings that were
below the million-dollar figure.
During the year the Lower Mainland municipalities have rendered close cooperation with us by notifying the Branch when tenant factories occupy new or
old premises. This has enabled us to contact hundreds of manufacturers in this
category at an early date, to inform them of the factory requirements that may apply
to their particular type of industry. The results achieved from this procedure have
been gratifying in that an employer can be assured that the premises are adequate
for his employees, or that alterations can be completed in the early stages of occupation or before if possible.
The Branch, since the introduction of this reporting system, is in a position to
assist employers occupying older industrial buildings in particular. Previously we
had experienced great difficulty in determining when new tenancies of such buildings had occurred. While most industrialists now automatically submit architectural
plans of new factories to us, we particularly noticed last year the increasing number
of firms that have informed us of proposed alterations and additions to old buildings.
This would indicate that this service is also becoming better known. We trust that
it will become common knowledge because the firms have realized that our services
are of great value at this time as well as when a new factory is being built.
A few years ago in the Interior of British Columbia we completed work on the
provision of adequate heat in garages, while dealing with factories in general in this
area. However, the next step that the garages had to take was the elimination of
toxic fumes and more adequate ventilation in these shops. Actually the need was
greater than at the Coast on account of the winter weather conditions which
necessitate the closing of doors and windows. This year saw the completion of this
protection for employees. Exhaust systems have been installed in many garages,
large and small, to meet the needs of spray-painting and motor tune-up work.
N 74 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR
Factory Inspections
Factory inspections totalled 1,400; child employment investigations, 6; homework investigations, 56; office and field interviews, 525.
Homework
A local firm, as a sales-promotion scheme, started a campaign to sell sewing-
machines on the basis of the purchaser doing homework to help meet the payments
on the machine. This procedure was reported to the Factories Branch before many
people became involved and an immediate investigation by the Department was
started.
As a result of this investigation and directives issued, the firm ceased this
unauthorized homework practice without delay. Due to the efforts of the Inspectors
in this matter we feel that many householders were protected from victimization by
these unlawful tactics. This particular investigation revealed clearly to all concerned, and especially the public, that the Factories Branch duties are becoming
better known, and when contacted promptly we can quickly arrest unauthorized
practices that come within our jurisdiction.
In 1960 three large firms, by providing new factory space, were able to considerably reduce the number of homeworkers operating on permits. This not only
provided steady employment for these workers, but was the means of reducing the
number of Homework Permits to the lowest number on record.
Conclusion
We take this opportunity to acknowledge the assistance given our Branch by
other Governmental departments and the continued co-operation of members of the
staff. Also, we wish to thank all officials and employees connected with industry for
their co-operation during the past year.
Respectfully submitted.

Chief Inspector of Factories.

Apprenticeship Technical Training
Technical and trade training in schools was conducted to supplement the
training supplied on the job by employers. Three categories of classes were operated—namely, evening classes in centres where the concentration of apprentices
is sufficient to set up a proper programme, daytime classes for apprentices from
areas of low industrial concentration, and for trades that do not lend themselves to
short evening sessions and pre-apprenticeship training classes.
APPRENTICESHIP AND TRADESMEN'S QUALIFICATION BRANCH N 77
Evening classes were held in Vancouver, Victoria, Kitimat, and Trail. Special
classes were conducted on behalf of the Department of Labour by the Department
of Education, the Vancouver School Board, the Victoria School Board, the Trail
School Board, and the Kitimat School Board. Training in these evening classes
was supplied to 1,236 apprentices.
Daytime classes for apprentices were conducted at Vancouver and Nanaimo.
Instruction was given to 528 indentured apprentices in this part of the programme.
Pre-apprenticeship classes were conducted at Nanaimo and Vancouver in the
trades of automotive mechanic, benchwork and joinery, boat-building, bricklaying,
carpentry, electrical work, electronics, heavy-duty mechanic, lathing, plastering,
plumbing, sheet metal, and structural steel. These courses are designed to provide
the student with basic skill and knowledge before he enters employment in a trade.
He is thus prepared to enter employment as an apprentice with the ability to
begin practising the trade at once and so progress to journeyman status much more
effectively. There were 411 persons who received training of from six to ten
months in this programme.
School Training Facilities
As in the past, the apprenticeship technical training classes were conducted for
the Department of Labour by various School Boards and by the Department of
Education. This training of apprentices is financed by the Department of Labour.
In June of 1960 the first units of the British Columbia Vocational School, Burnaby, were formally opened, and classes that had previously been accommodated
in temporary quarters at Exhibition Park and others that were dispersed in Vancouver schools were moved to the new Burnaby site. It was not possible to accommodate all of the apprenticeship classes from the Vancouver area in the new school,
but the announcement that more buildings were to be built during the coming year
is promising for the future.
Field Supervision and Promotion
Routine investigation of apprentices was conducted by the Industrial Relations
Officers of the Department, and reports of these investigations were submitted to the
Branch. In those cases where some problem existed, the matter was referred to
Apprenticeship Counsellors for attention.
The counselling staff visited the majority of the secondary schools in the Province to inform the students, counsellors, and principals of the apprenticeship and
pre-apprenticeship programme. Visits were also made to employers and organizations to promote participation in apprenticeship and to deal with the problems
encountered by employers and apprentices.
Provincial Apprenticeship Committee
The Provincial Apprenticeship Committee met four times during the year to
consider and approve new contracts of apprenticeship, transfer of apprentice between employers, cancellation of apprenticeship contracts, and the issuing of certificates to apprentices who completed their training.
The Committee considered representations submitted by industry in respect of
the heavy-duty repair trade and recommended that the trade be added to Schedule
N 78 . . .... DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR -
A of the Act. As a result of that recommendation, the trade was designated by
Order in Council on March 3rd, 1960.
The Committee also heard and considered representation from the trade-union
and employer organization in the piping industry relative to expanding the scope of
apprenticeship training for that industry and agreed that contracts of apprenticeship
would be approved for a five-year period instead of the previous four.
Federal-lnterprovincial Co-operation
Under the auspices of the Federal Government, the apprenticeship officials
of the eight Provinces which participate in the Federal-Provincial Apprenticeship
Training Agreement continued to work toward more uniform training standards.
Apprenticeship completion examinations for plumbing, electrical work, sheet metal,
and carpentry were drawn up for consideration by the eight Provinces in preparation for use in the coming year. Analyses of various trades that had been prepared
in the past were reviewed with the object of keeping them up to date.
Tradesmen's Qualification Examinations
The Examining Board for the radio-television servicing trade convened on three
occasions to examine candidates. Seventy-one persons were examined, of whom
forty-eight were successful in obtaining certificates of qualification.
In the refrigeration trade there were nine persons examined, of whom four
obtained certificates.
The trade advisory committee for the automotive trade made considerable
progress in the preparation of an examination for automotive mechanics. An examination was drawn up and tested on a group of senior apprentices and a group of
active mechanics. Amendments were made to the examination in light of these
trials. A group of mechanics was given an additional practical examination in the
automotive shop of the British Columbia Vocational School, Burnaby. The committee is now analysing the results of the written and practical trial examinations,
and it is expected that the examination will be completed in final form for use in the
very near future.

minor nature, with the exception of one which was brought to a satisfactory
conclusion.
