Coast Steamship Service, will be s imilar to that presently effect between CF Air and CP Rail. Perhaps it should be pointed out that BCCSS does not have the facilities to issue or handle CP Air paper, and that urdiks CP Rail, who sell CP Air, bccss does not wish to participate in an arrangemeht involving the issuance by BCCSS of CP Air paper. Our original thinking, as you may recall, was that perhaps CP Air could assist BCCSS in the marketing of the "Princess Patricia" Alaska cruise spaces through CP Air's various outlets, assuming, naturally, that those inquiring for "Princess Patricia" accommodation would also be interested in utilising CP Air for their trip to Vancouver, rather than automobile or some other form of surface transportation. For this service, BCCSS suggests that CP Air be accorded up to 5% commission on all sales finalised. CP RAIL, B.C.C.S.S., PIER B, FT. BURRARD ST., VANCOUVER, B.C. October , 1975 File: 75.V/S.521.

Kelsey Bay, which will be covered later in this memorandum. Ideal situation would be to have Port McNeil the first port of call of the * seaspari Doris,"k and Port Hardy the second. These two areas are growing and are the shopping and distribution centres for NEVI. This would eliminate the present backhaul of freight to Beaver Cove, which is most undesirable and costly to consignee. There is a B.C. Ferry dock at Port McNeil which, with certain alterations, would be suitable for the " ieaspan Doris." There is no trailer parking at slip and trailers would have to be unloaded and picked up approximately five city blocks aviay at Haida Freight Terminal. The unfortunate part is that the slip is in the middle of town, and activity would be midnight to 3:00 a.m. This would be disasterous to our good will as well as to the sleep of the townspeople, and therefore is not recommended. y. ."> There IS an alternate barge Slip on MacMillan Bloedel property, approximately...threemiles south of Port McNeil; however, . it is a Jtidal; operation .and considerable sums would have to be> spe.it to ready'it for a roll-on rOll-off operation with the "Doris."

Present barge slip, and new barge slip under consideration by MacMillan Bloedel, are only accessible at high tidev Port; Hardy wharf is available at all tidesr 1 however, is not designed for a -^oil-on roll-off operation, and again, a considerable sum would be required to be spent. Also, there is no immediate area for parking of trailers, and in view of high costs would not recommend further action at this time. This could be reviewed if and when B.C. Ferries move terminal from Kelsey Bay. Consideration could then be given to approaching B.C. Ferries for use of their facility. •J CP RAIL, B.C.C.S.S., PIER B, FT. BURRARD ST., VANCOUVER, B.C.

He further stated that he would look favourably at acquiring property near Elk Falls to store trailers.

As a matter of information, B.C. Ferries charge Haida $45-50 for a 40 ft. drop trailer, Kelsey Bay to Beaver Cove. Additional time will be required to load and unload nix of rail and trailers, as some trailers will require to be loaded on the top deck. It would appear that the "Seaspan Doris'" would not be able to arrive back at Vancouver until after midnight Sunday. If she keeps present schedule; viz., ex Vancouver 2200 Sunday to Nanaimo, back Monday, Vancouver a.m. to Crofton, she will most certainly be 3-4 hours late for the regular run to Nanaimo at 2300 Monday. Our regular Nanaimo customers would be most unhappy with this service. Alternative wa are looking into is to cancel Sunday night trip of " ieaspan Doris" and run the "Carrier Princess" Monday 1000; this would please everyone.

Present indications are new highway will be completed and paved by the summer of '76, with the exception of 20 miles. When the highway is open for traffic, .vBeaver Cove ferries will relocate.their.present facility at Kelsey Bay to area now being prepared at Port Hardy. Our opinion, which is substantiated by customers we have contacted, is that when the new highway is completed there will no longer be a need for a roll-on roll-off service to NEVI. Barge service will still be required to handle freight, which does not lend itself to rubber} i.e., high, wide prefabricated pieces of machinery, etc. The major users of our service to Nanaimo have indicated that at present they are not actively interested in NEVI due to high cost of operating in the area. Haida Freight are the only trucking firm with a general licence for NEVI. The others can only deliver a full load to one consignee and pick up a full load from one consignee. To obtain business north of Nanaimo, frequency of service is very important. To reduce costs trucker must ensure eadn''"trailer is pxXly loaded, and therefore* all trailer* tJurough, Nanaino carrying general freight are loaded for several points; i.e., fiourtenay, Campbell River, Gold River. On return movement, several stops are made along route to pick up freight, and trailer arrives back at Nanaimo with full load for Vancouver. Using this method, full utilisation, of equipment is realized. Trailers carried over water to say, Beaver Cove, cannot be fully utilized by Johnston Terminals. Doraans, C.P.T., etc., and when new road is open Haida Freight will in all likelihood bring,his trailers through Nanaimo, or preferably Campbell River, in order to provide frequent service and obtain full utilization of trailers. 9*l*s Representative JDF'BB •j .

ADVERTISIHO - 1976 Further to our letter of November 24th. We have had an opportunity of reading the draft rewrite of the 1976 advertising budget, which answers many of the questions raised in your letter. A copy of the final presentation will be forwarded to you as soon as available. We feel that the rewrite covers marry of the areas we took for granted, but in its presentation is representative of what we feel will contribute towards a success fill 1976 season. With reference to the copy of memorandum on the Bay of Fundy service, we wish to advise as followsi We have been turning over in our ainds in what manner we might conduct effective seminars and/or meetings with travel agents in the local area with respect to our BCCS Service. Some years ago we were involved with a seminar on board the "Princess of Vancouver," wherein approximately 20 travel agents were taken over on the noon sailing to Nanaimo, accorded luncheon, a sightseeing tour in Nanaimo, and returned on the 1600 sailing. This seminar was a combined Atlantic service, CP Ferry services, which at that time included Victoria-Seattle service and Alaska. While the time period involved might be too long for our purpose now, this is one area that has not been completely discounted, other areas of course, are breakfast meetings, •••••••• DATE: FILE: THANKSGIVING WEEKEND CRUISE - PRINCESS PATRICIA VANCOUVER/SEATTLE/VANCOUVER - OCTOBER 10-13, 1975 Dear Sir and/or Madam: We have reserved the following: If acceptable, kindly forward remittance payable to "CANADIAN PACIFIC LTD." in amount $ .

Yours very truly, Manager, B.C. Coast Steamship Services - t 2 • and depending on the work done on the "Patricia," we may even hold seminars on board ship, with luncheon possibly at the Parlour Car. These items will be considered at the turn of the year, if we feel they are practical and if the response is favourable to initial inquiries to local travel agents. We feel that tent cards contributed to the occupancy factor on our Nanaimo service, and will continue their use. Insofar as our Alaska service is concerned, we are associated next year with cp Air in a joint advertising programme, with their CP Air Holiday magazine* which will go to some 100,000 copies. We have coverage with U.T.L. and Horizon Holidays brochures without cost to us, and have coverage with every group operator merely by supplying the necessary material for their individual brochures. We are covered in Ford's Deck Plan and Cruises, and in other periodicals as listed in the 1976 advertising plan. "Princess of Vancouver" will be represented in local publications, but will not be covered in any joint advertising programme by any other concern. We feel 1975 has been a successful year for the "Princess of Vancouver," and will concentrate on improving what we did this year, with a few additions, that will also be spelled out in the ferry portion of the 1976 advertising plan. It has been our practice to ensure that all tourist outlets receive literature and information on our Nanaimo services, and will continue this in 1976. As the "Vancouver" is not used to any great extent by group organisations, there is no joint participation in this area respecting that vessel. As advised earlier, we are making arrangements with gasoline companies to show our routes on their maps to a greater extent than in the past.

We feel that when we operated the dance cruises on board the "Princess of Vancouver" ourselves, we were more successful than Granson has been in the promotion of the ship, and will therefore revert to our own means. When we were operating this service, practically every Saturday evening was used from the beginning of June through to the middle of September. This past year has seen very few dance cruises. Wo have received inquiries concerning Howe Sound cruises, and will also promote these ourselves in the new year. Our Advertising Department has lined up what we consider to be excellent coverage, except the medium of T.V. We have initiated meetings with our stewards * Department, concerning passenger and commercial policy respecting the "Princess of Vancouver," taking them to lunch following meetings, and intend to continue these meetings approximately every three months. Our Advertising Department is exploring the possibility of an Alaskan film, but we do not have any plans at the present time for the involvement of the "Princess of Vancouver," except to the point of her possible inclusion in an Alaskan film , if produced.

Margetts Montreal, Que. Filet T-75-10 Kindly refer to your letter of November 10th, File 103-34, under heading "Alaska Cruises." From time to tine we have been approached by individuals interested in taking groups to Alaska during the normal season and holding business meetings, lectures. Seminars, etc. on board ship en route. It has been our policy, and I think it is a good one, that our regular passengers should not be penalized by being excluded from any public area on board the "Patricia,* except during church services in the After Lounge, and at times when we, the operator, have specific activities taking place. All public areas are open areas, and to permit one group private use of any area restricts our passengers. The "Patricia" does have some limitations, and unfortunately this is one of them, as we do not have a private room of sufficient size on the ship where a group may hold a party, meeting, or any other type of gathering. For this reason it has always been mutually agreed by ourselves and the people who have consulted us, that it would not be practical to provide this type of service on board ship. The foregoing naturally refers to when the ship is in operation. With the "Patricia" now berthed in Vancouver, Mr. Reid has had the opportunity to take people over her in laid-up condition. Of course, if a group is interested in paying the cost of placing heaters on board ship, we would take this into consideration, but the vhole atmoe- - 5 - ARTICLE 4 (contd.) two dollars and fifty cents ($2.50) per day worked is paid in lieu of food and lodging, such payment will be included in the gross wages when calculating annual vacation pay. 4.6 An employee who has become entitled to a vacation with pay shall be granted such vacation within a twelve (12) month period immediately following the completion of the calendar year of employment in respect of which the employee became entitled to the vacation. 4.7 Applications for vacation from employees filed between December 15th of the previous year and January 3lst shall insofar as it is practicable to do so be given preference in order of seniority of the applicants. Such applicants will have preference over later applicants. Applicants will be advised in February of the dates allotted them, unless otherwise mutually agreed employees must take their vacation at the time allotted. 4.8 Unless othervAv.se mutually agreed, employees who do not apply for vacation prior to February 1st shall be required to take their vacation at a time to be prescribed by the Company. 4.9 An employee terminating his employment for any reason at a time when an unused period of vacation with pay stands to his credit shall be allowed vacation calculated to the date of his leaving the service as provided in Articles 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4 as the case may be, and if not granted shall be allowed pay in lieu thereof. In the case of an employee v:ho enter:* the service in the current calendar year and leaves it after more than thirty (30) days' service in that year, such employee is entitled to vacation or pay in lieu thereof in accordance with Article 4.1. 4.10 An employee who is laid off shall be paid for any vacation due him at the beginning of the current calendar year and not previously taken and, if not subsequently recalled to service during such year, shall upon application be allowed pay in lieu of any vacation due him at the beginning of the following calendar year. 4.11 An individual who leaves the service of his own accord or who is dismissed for cause and not reinstated in his former standing within two (2) years of date of such dismissal shall, if subsequently returned to the service. > > 2. phere of the ship is totally different. Carpets are removed from stairways, cardboard runners are in passageways; food services are not available, although we could aer- tainly permit catering services to be utilized, but the winterized condition of the ship does not lend itself to a seminar. The foregoing reasons are not given from a negative viewpoint to your suggestion, but from a realistic viewpoint of what we can offer on the "Patricia," both in service and when laid up. Naturally, the alternative to the foregoing is that seminars be arranged prior to the commencement of service and immediately following, when the ship is in a more presentable position, and should an opportunity occur to utilize the ship for this purpose, we will certainly use same* We have already been approached by a group interested in conducting a meeting on board the "Patricia" next spring, prior to the commencement of service, and this is being held in abeyance pending confirmation of a May 7th charter and/or a cruise to Seattle, as was done over the Thanksgiving weekend.

As requested in Mr. Margetts* letter, I am pleased to show hereunder information regarding Items 1 to 9 inclusive la your letter of October 2nd* 1. The Alaska total dollar market volume is conservatively estimated at betwtaen $43 and $45 million dollars for the 1976 season. Cruise ship passengers could total 53,000, according to A.v.A. .visitor data report. 2* Wa could be facetious and say, aa in '_ha old nursery rhyme, "Tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor, rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief, doctor, lawyer, Indian Chief, " utilise our productr in other words, we have a complete cross-section of occupations and professions travelling on the "Patricia," and have bad titled people, admirals, generals, stenographers, nurses, ■'A.etc., so that you can see we appeal to just about every classification you can think of* 3* (a) Based on past two years' performance, a lower percentage appears to be using shoulder period* than in the past, but summer season continues at high percentage of occupancy. • •.. .....*•• 2 - 7 - ARTICLE 7 EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN 7.1 The Employee Benefit Plan shall be that Plan established by the Supplemental Agreement of March 16, 1965, as revised, amended or superseded, between certain Canadian Railways and The Associated Railway Unions representing non-operating employees, to which the Company and the Union are signatories. ARTICLE 8 MEDICARE ALLOWANCE 8.1 Effective October 1, 1972, all existing payments of the premiums by the Company for basic medical-surgical benefits for employees covered by this agreement shall be discontinued and will be replaced by monthly allowances to be applied against payments provided for under any government medical care program in accordance with the terms of this Article 8. 8.2 Subject to the provisions of Clauses 8.3 and 8.4 participating employees, if single shall be paid a monthly allowance of $5.50 or, if married, a monthly allowance of $11.50. Each monthly allowance will be paid bi-weekly. Married employees will be paid $5.29 in each pay period and single employees $2.53 in each pay period. 8.3 Such monthly allowances will first be used to pay any amount that the Company is, or might in the future, be required to pay for such medical-surgical benefits under any government medical care program. 8.4 If no amount is payable under Clause 8.3 or if the amount payable or to be payable by an employee or by an employee and the Company account basic medical- surgical benefits is less than the monthly allowance, the difference will be paid to the employee on the payroll and if the amount is greater, the difference will be deducted from the employee's wages. 8.5 Subject to the provisions of this Article 8, the monthly allowance will be made in respect of each participating employee provided he performs compensated service during the month for which the allowance is made. 8.6 Notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 8.5, a participating employee who does not perform compensated 8 J 2. 3. (b) During 1975 we carried 10% repeaters> however, in past years, although figures are not available* we feel percentage was higher. (c) This feature should be researched further. (d) Barriers to extended use would be adverse weather conditions to extension of Alaska service in October and winter months. Although we successfully operated a Thanksgiving weekend cruise in local waters, the extended use of this type of cruise in the fall would be dependent upon timing and the availability of sufficient number of interested passengers at that time of the year to make such a cruise under possible adverse weather conditions. You are probably aware that from the middle of October we have had torrential rains and high winds, which contribute to negative acceptance of cruising under such conditions. Therefore, the only open area is in the spring, and ws are seriously looking at the prospects of running an experimental cruise prior to commencement of our charter season May 15th, or as soon as we are able to determine the extant of our spring Alaska charters, in other words, there is still a possibility of a May 7th Alaska charter. 4. As long as our increases are on a par with other cruise operators, our relative position is maintained* In no way can ws approximate fares of other cruise operators, due to the "Princess Patricia's age, tonnage, lack of comparable public areas, specialized dining quarters, name bands, name entertainers, etc. We are unique in what we have to offer oh the "Patricia," and should maintain that basic image* 5.

VANCOUVER, November 14, 1975* Filet T-75-69 J. Yatee Mr. B.D. Margetts Montreal, Que. t*t are pleased to attach comparative statement indicating origin of passengers during the 1975 season of the "Princess Patricia.* In addition, we are shewing breakdown of the major Provinces and States contributing the largest number of passengers. You will note that Canadian participation has increased by 13,14:$ over 1974. This is largely made up of additional passengers from Horizon Holidays of Canada, Midnight Sun Tours of Chatham,Ontario, and Evergreen Tours, Vancouver, B.C., the former having an additional sailing over 1974, and the latter two being new Canadian tours, both of which were very successful and will be with us in 1976, with Midnight Sun Tours operating two tours. 'fa will shortly be forwarding an advance assignment position of the "Princess Patricia" with respect to tour parties utilising the 1976 sailings, which at this time Is proceed - ing very well. The Canadian postal strike has hampered confirmation to groups and the receipt of individual requests, but trust this will be remedied in the near future. B.C.C.S .3 . cc. Mr. R.A. Ferguson - Copy of comparative statement attached. Vancouver, B»C* (6) we propose to examine wage rates of semi-skilled and unskilled labour in the Vancouver area as we believe that "community comparisons" are pertinent to the issues at hand. The following are the rates of pay for semi-skilled workers in the construction industry: Classification Rate per Hour Building Labourer $1.60 Boilermakers' Helper $2.06-1/2 Plasterers' Helper (Hod Carriers) $1.90 Plumbers and Pipefitters' Helpers $1.85 Labourers (Electrical workers) $1.63 Machinists' Helpers $1.90 The above workers receive full room and board when working on out of town jobs ana therefore are strictly comparable with seamen in that they may be required to maintain a home in Vancouver or Victoria as the case may be. The comparable rate for seamen utilizing the top rate in the deck department, $210.00 per month which is $1.21 per hour. Thus the top deck rate is 40 cents per hour below that of an unskilled labourer and of the order of 60 cents per hour less than that of a semi-skilled worker. No further comment is necessary. VANCOUVER, November 14, 1975. Filet T-75-69 J. Yates Mr. J.G. Shave Vancouver* B.C. With reference to your letter of October 14th, File 2210, Has there been any further quotation on Canadian flags cr B.C.C.S.S. house flag, as suggested might be arranged by Keith Carpenter? Manager, B.C.C.S.S* RRR'BB (10) The employers have in the past, and no doubt will in the future point out that the increases in wages of seamen since 1939 has been considerable. This is not surprising when one examines the rates pf pay current in 1939. However the Union believes th. t on examination these increases in the light of those granted to other Canadians, are not e xessive, quite the reverse as a matter of fact. The present rates are $135.00 per month higher than the 1939 rates for all categories except deck boys and wipers whose increase have been somewhat lower. The Companies would have us believe that these increases are of a generous nature; the Union believes otherwise. In the Canadian Statistical Review of August, 1954 we observe that the average weekly wage for firms customarily employing 15 persons or more (Vancouver area) were $25.07 per week in 1939 and $61.17 per week in 1954 (July). This is equivalent to a monthly increase of approximately $156.40. No doubt the Companies will object to the Union comparing wages in 1939 and 1954 on a straight cents per hour basis. They will suggest that a percentage basis should be used. An examination of the rates prevailing in 1939 makes this approach tempting (from the employers point of view) hoxirever wage trends since 1939 rule out this method of approach. Examination of wage data for the years 1939 VANCOUVER, November 11, 1975. , J, Yatee Mr, M.W, Holland Montreal, _Me. With reference to your letter of October 20th, File 103-34, Contact has been made-with. .Mr* Rollins, and assignment on all 13 regular sailings of the "Princess Patricia" during 1976 is completed. Because of the postal strike wa will arrange to telex Mr. Al Rollins, subject to written confirmation upon completion of postal strike. As requested in your letter, we will keep you informed as to the progress, but do not anticipate that we will be in a position to do so until at least the end of March 1976. "' J. YATES Manager, B.C.C.S.S. RRR^BB ( 16 ) The Union is requesting that the clause be amended to provide for overtime payment at the rate of $1.50 per hour. In order to appraise the merits of the Union's request that the overtime rate be increased from $1.17 to $1.50 per hour it might not be inappropriate if we were to examine the reasons for prescribing penalty rates for hours worked in excess of a stated number. Two motivations occur to us: (1) To discourage employers from working their employees longer hours than society or custom deems advisable. (2) To encourage what is termed as "sharing the work". The Fair Labour standards Act (U.S.A.) which provides penaltj'" rates for overtime was motivated by concepts of sharing work, enjoying leisure, and promoting the economic well-being of workers. From either viewpoint the present rate is inadequate. The present overtime rate paid to seamen is lower than that paid for straight time. Thus from the viewpoint of the first criterion there is little discouragement to the employers to prevent them from working seamen unreasonable hours. It is accepted that owing to the nature of the Companies' operations the working of overtime may be unavoidable, therefore it is not suggested that the penalty rate be prohibitive. However, we believe November 14, 1975* File No. T-75-67 Mrs. Gail M. Carrie Trevel Counsellor Department of Travel Industry 1019 Wharf Street Victoria, B.C.

Yours very truly. J. YATES Manager, B.C.C.S.S. RRR'BB ( 18) other two Companies and are asking for this increase merely to bring them up to the same standards as others in the industry. CONCLUSION The Union believes that it has shown that its requests are moderate and reasonable. It only remains to consider the effect of the increases on the Companies. In the past, and no doubt today, the Companies have argued that any addition to their costs will render an increase in their tariffs inevitable, and as a consequence, loss of business to alternative forms of transport will ensue. The Union can not resist quoting two sources on this assertion: "There lias not been anjr record of an arbitration case between a carrier and its employees in this country that the Company did not plead inability to pay." (Union spokesman Amalgamated Association of Street j2Lectric and Motor Coach Employees versus Pacific Northwest Public Service Company-Arbitrator, Paul D. Shaw) The ability to pay argument is a highly adaptable tool for supporting management in a wage Conciliation, If the Company is suffering consistent losses, inability to pay applies with particular force and poignancy - a wage increase or a refusal of a decrease may spell bankruptcy. If the Company is just breaking even, it is unable to pay since a wage increase would throw it into the loss column. If VANCOUVER, November 14, 1975. File: T-75-62 J. Yates Mr. B.D. Margetts Montreal, Que. With reference to our letter of October 16th, File T-75-69, Page 3, Item No. 4, respecting contact with Horizon Holidays. Yesterday morning Mr. Reid had the pleasure of a visit from Mr. Bernie Taylor, Vice-President of Horizon Holidays of Canada Limited, and during conversation Mr• Taylor was asked to what he attributes the success of Horizon Holidays and the manner of their marketing. In very simplified terras, Mr. Taylor said that just as we, BCCSS, specialize in the "Princess Patricia" to Alaska, so do they specialize in package tours and do an excellent job with the tours they feature. They are most particular concerning the air, land and water carriers that are utilized, and also place a very high emphasis on the calibre of their escorts. It was interesting to hear Mr. Taylor discuss the exercise the escorts are required to go through before acceptance by Horizon Holidays. Without doubt, the escorts who have accompanied Horizon Holidays tour groups are the best organized and disciplined, and most pleasant, presentable and knowledgeable of any escorted groups on our Alaska service. Mr. Reid had an opportunity of seeing the preliminary blue print of Horizon ! Holidays 1976 brochure, which will be in four colours, and it certainly does their company credit• While discussing the 1976 programme by Horizon Holidays respecting the "Patricia," shoulder period travel was mentioned, and although 1976 planning is pretty well complete, Mr* Taylor remarked that Horizon Holidays might (5) Departments, and any settlement on a substantially different basis would have serious disruptive effects," v Let us take the Companies' arguments to their logical conclusion. The Companies can choose the Union with the weakest bargaining position an i then turn around and say in effect that every other employee should accept the same settlement. The Union emphatically rejects such a line of approach. We believe that we have, and are entitled by law, the right to bargain for our own wage rates on our own merits. We arree that there are certain exceptions to the rule that Unions are entitled to bargain without regard to settlements already achieved in the industry, but these exceptions are mainly of the "tail wagging the dog" variety. Such considerations do not apply here. It should oe obvious to the Board from the foregoing that none of the three groups of personnel have historically set the "pattern" and therefore are not a compelling consideration in determining the merits of the Union's requests, . The Union apologizes to the Board for this lengthy preamble but we believe that it is essential if the Union is to do justice to the employees' case. l It is agreed by the Companies that the work performed by seamen, in most cases, is of a semi-skilled nature and therefore 2. take a look at a straight round-trip cruise in 1977, or perhaps the August 27th sailing, or one of the other shoulder periods* During the 1975 season. Horizon Holidays utilized space assigned to them on seven sailings, to the extent of 9S%. They are an excellent firm to deal with and we are pleased to have them on eight sailings during the 1976 season* Manager, B.C.C.S.S, RRR'BB ( 12 ) Further in "Economic Data Utilized in Wage Arbitration" (Jules Backman) we find the following on Page 28. "When considering changes in wages in other industries, should emphasis be given to changes in cents per hour or to percentage changes? During the war and postwar period, wage increases generally have been in terms of cents per hour. As a result, higher-income workers usually have been able to show an unfavourable status on a percentage basis even though in absolute terms they may have received wage increases as large or larger than those received by lower-income workers. In considering this question, the Presidential Board in the 1949 Steel age Dispute concluded as follows: The question then arises, which is the proper criterion for approaching the inter-industry wage-rate inequity i question-the relationship among the increases in cents per hour or in percentages of increases? The Board believes that the cents-per-hour measure is the preferable one because the increases before and after the war were given in cents rather than percentages and because, thereby, the tendency has been to give the lower-paid workers the higher percentages of increase."

No agreement could be reached as a result of these meetings, thus the appointment of this Board, It AGES Wage comparisons are often a compelling consideration in deciding the merits of a proposed wage increase; they can also be manipulated to cause real injustice to members of a particular Union, The dispute before the Board is an example of the latter.

Hocking ( 20 ) was highly competitive, but a loss of traffic which was formerly non-competitive, but which has now become subject to competition by reason of the aforementioned long succession of rate increases. Thus the law of diminishing returns is now, in the inexorable economic sense, beginning to assert itself. (Labour Gazette rage 825 June 1954)" Mow, at the same time at a Conciliation Board hearing between Teamsters Local 31 and the A.T.A. it was stated on behalf of the employers that any further increase in costs would result in loss of traffic to alternate modes of transport (railways). The Union is entitled to ask what would be the end result if we took these arguments seriously. Since the various carriers cannot or will not agree which mode of transport is most logical for a given type of traffic there can be only one result - A rate cutting war with the employees groomed for the unenviable role of the "man in the middle". Nor would the various carrers be any better off in the lon^ run if ability to pay were to be adjudged a compelling consideration. The Union believes in this instance that the effects on the Comapnies should be allotted little or no- priority. We ask only that the Board recommend a wage that is in proper relationship with other work of comparable difficulty in the local market. The Union has attempted to show the Board that their requests are both reasonable and justified and in conclusion we express hope that you will make your recommendations accordingly. VANCOUVER, B. C.

HIB'BB (1) HISTORY OF DISPUTE The dispute which has resulted in the appointment of the Honourable Board arises from a request for increased wages and -overtime rates submitted by the Seafarers' International Union of North America, on behalf of certain unlicensed personnel in the deck and engine room departments of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company (B.C.C.S.S.), Canadian National Steamships, and in the deck, engine room, and stewards departments of Union Sttamships Limited. The total number of persons involved in this dispute is approximately seven hundred (700). The present Agreement between the Union and the Companies involved was effective June 1st, 1953, and was for two years with a provision for reopening the Agreement after twelve months for the purpose of discussing wages and overtime rates only. xhe Union advised the Companies in accordance with the Agreement that we were desirous of reopening the Agreement to discuss revisions in wages and overtime rates. A number of meetings were held and the Union Submitted the following requests on behalf of the employees: 1.

Dear Ray: Further to meeting held in your office and subsequent dis cus s loli regarding movement of " live" trucks between Vancouver and Vancouver Island, We have reviewed and taken action with respect to avail- able space in our vessels. Our present schedule is shown below, indicating passenger and non-pass enger sailings. There are some explanatory footnotes included. Vanoouver-Nanaimo , Vessel Depart Arrive "Pr. of Vancouver" (Passenger) 0400 0630 (Daily) "Carrier Princess" (Non-Passenger) 1000 1230 (Tues.-Fri.) "Pr. of Vancouver" (Passenger) 1200 1430 (Daily) "Pr. of Vancouver" (Passenger) 2000 2230 (Daily) "Seaspan Doris" (Non-Passenger) 2315 0245 (Sun.-Fri.) Nanaimo-Vancouver "Seaspan Doris" (Non-Passenger) 0500 0330 (Mon.-Sat.) "Pr. of Vancouver" (Passenger) 0800 1030 (Daily) "Carrier Princess" (Non-Passenger) 1330 1530 (Tues.-Fri.) "Pr. of Vancouver" (Passenger) 1600 1830 (Daily) "Pr. of Vancouver" (Passenger) 2400 0230 (Daily) (5) Departments, and any settlement on a substantially different basis would have serious disruptive effects." Let us take the Companies' arguments to their logical conclusion. The Companies can choose the Union with the weakest bargaining position and then turn around and say in effect that every other employee should accept the same settlement. The Union emphatically rejects such a line of approach. We believe that we have, and are entitled by law, the right to bargain for our own wage rates on our own merits. Vie agree that there are certain exceptions to the rule that Unions are entitled to bargain without regard to settlements already achieved in the industry, but these exceptions are mainly of the "tail wagging the dog" variety. Such considerations do not apply here. It should be obvious to the Board from the foregoing that none of the three groups of personnel have historically set the "pattern" and therefore are not a compelling consideration in determining the merits of the Union's requests. The Union apologizes to the Board for this lengthy preamble but we believe that it is essential if the Union is to do justice to the employees' case. It is agreed by the Companies that the work performed by seaaen, in most cases, is of a semi-skilled nature and therefore ■*• 1 J>f z am % am Vanccuver-Swertz Bav Vessel Depart __}r__jyve "Carrier Princess" "Trailer Princess" "Carrier Princess" (Non-Passenger) 1730 2100 0145 (Passenger) t wartz-Bav-vancouver "Trailer Princess" (Non-Raasenger) 0230 "Carrier Prineees" (Passenger) 0530 "Carrier Prineees" (Non-Passenger) 2200 2030 (Man.-Fri.) 0130 ( " " ) 0445 (Tues.-et.) 0700 (Tues.-Sat•) 0830 ( " " ) 0100 (Mon.-Fri.) It will be noted that the "Carrier Princess" is shown alternately as "Passenger" and "Non-Passenger." This vessel ia licensed for passengers but we,elected to carry passengers on certain sailings only, due to staffing required. This is always subject'.'to'review. If it is found that "live" or powered units are offering, we can advertise that sailing far them. The sailing which may be the most helpful for the heavy Horseshoe Bay-Departure Bay route would be our 0400 sailing daily of the "Princess of Vancouver." While wa are quite heavy on this sailing, we can and are prepared to operate an additional sailing with a chartered vessel in order to open the 0400 sailing of the "Princess of Vancouver" for powered units. Our train concern is to determine the users of the early morning sailings from Horseshoe Bay. Kan 8t rat ford is assisting in obtaining this information, and anything you can do in this regard will be appreciated. We are contacting as many as possible and will use our marketing methods to reach as many as possible. In the meantime, Ray, we should keep in touch, and X shall be pleased to provide any further information required. Please refer any enquiries direct to us. Thank you for your assistance Ray. Yours very truly. Manager, B.C.C.S.S. JY'BB (7) Before going on to make comparisons with the rates of pay of unskilled workers in the Vancouver area the Union would like to make the following observation. We submit that if a man is to make a career of seafaring then his wages, exclusive of board, should be sufficient to support some form of a home ashore, unless we are to presume that seafaring is a celibate profession. Therefore we submit that we are entitled to compare the wages received by the seamen with those of workers ashore. The following are the hourly rates of pay received by semi-skilled and unskilled taken at random from the files of the Vancouver Trades and Labour Council: Dock and Shipyard Workers Local 120/t. Labourers Handy Hen Boiler Scalers VANCOUVER ENAftEL WORKERS __________ UNION Local 291 Helper $1.51 per hour. Crater AL.51 per hour. Truck Driver &1.58 per hour.

If fair dividends and capital expansion have been regular, a wage increase would cause earnings to drop below the accepted level, and, since the stock-holders are never allowed to earn more than about 6%, it is argued that they should have a reasonable guarantee of that amount. Furthermore, the terms "exorbitant" and "smaller profits" do not rest easily on a 6% or smaller profit figure, nor can jubilation be engendered among employees over the prospect of dividing part of it into wages. The "ability to pay" criterion has strategic versatility of a high order from a management point of view. The "loss of traffic to alternate modes of transport" argument particularly intrigues the Union. In the report of the Board in the dispute between C..S.R, and C.P.R. and sixteen International Railway Brotherhoods we find the following: "As a result of these recent rail traffic trends, we are now more strongly than ever of the opinion that the long succession of general freight increases, mainly due to added costs of labour which is the largest single factor and to increased costs of materials, has brought about a loss of traffic by the railways to competing modes of transport not only of traffic which the railways form.rly regarded as vulnerable because it / i November 6, 1975.
