It Would consist of\nan equal number of executive ln\nadmlnlstatlve officials and ot miners and by - product workers\nelected by their respective organisation. Thts council would also\nInclude 2 representatives of the\npowbr nndi transport commission\nand the secretary of mines, who\nwould act as chairman. Below\nthis body would be provincial councils and pit or work committees.\nA COnsunicrs' council ls proposed\nto protect the public. It would\nconsist of representatives of employers hnd workers in the coal\nahd power-using industries, municipal authorities, co-operative societies and the body responsible\nfor etport. This council would\nconsider all matters common to\nconsumers Including prices, transport rates and methods, ahd distribution. It would meet with the\ncoal and power production council\nfrom time to time for negotiation\nof prices and wages. Concerning\nthis the federation says:\nFix Rights of Consumers' Councils\n\"With regard to wage questions\nit ls proposed that application for\nmodifications in wagee should first\ncome before the coal and power\nproduction conncil. This body,\nhowever, should not have power to\narrive at any decision. It Bhould\nCommunicate the fact that an appli.\nCation has b*n received to the\nconsumers council, and a Joint\nsession of an equal number of members ol each ol the 2 councils\nshould be held at which the case\nshould \u00E2\u0080\u0094 stated by the representatives of the workers cbhcerhbll. In\nthe event of a majority of the representatives of the 2 councils In\njoint session agreeing that a change\nshould be made, they should have\npowor to effect lt.\"\nTn case of failure to reach a\nsettlement, the federation suggests\nthe two councils might ttrtange for\na special court to make recomenda-\nHons. Prices would be mutually\nworked out tin the harts <_f ascer\ntained costs. Such provisions\neffectively answer ithe contention\nthat the workers would use nationalization of the basic industries to blend the nation.\nOutline Flnancln*; Plhhs\nDescendants of robber barons,\nwho claim a royalty on each ton of\ncoal because they own coal lands\ngranted their remote ancestors by\nformer kings, will be the only\nclaimants left out ln the ctilil by\nBritish Miners' Federation plan for\nnationalizing the industry. The\nfederation proposes compensation\nfor capital actually Invested in the\nmachinery of production and distribution as well for the persons\nwhose employment Is temporarily\ndisturbed by more economical distribution.\nCompensation for mines taken\nover, says the federation, must be\nbased on market values determined\neither by the price of mine shares\nover a period immediately preceding the appointment of the coal\ncommission or by the average annual profits ot the industry. Owners\nwould receive redeemable government stock or fixed annuities for a\nperiod of years.\nIndustry to Fay for Itself\nThe expense of buying out the\nmine owners would be charged to\nthe nationalized Industry as a part\not the cost of production. The\nminers' plan assumes that the industry will pay its way, eventually\nproviding Its own new capital for\ndevelopment. Says the federation:\n\"There wll be no question of parliament granting subsidies, and\ntherefore mismanagement will recoil on the heads of those in the\nindustry, who will suffer economically. Moreover, the consumers\ncouncil will be Interested ln the\nefficiency ot the industry and may\nhe trusted to exercise effective\npressure on the Industry to fulfill\nIts responsibilities.\"\nBritish labor's proposals include\nthe outline ot a thoroughgoing\ntonluilMl transformation of the industry along linen developed by\nAmerican super-power engineers,\naffording a striking constraat to\nthe coal operators who can propose\nnothing but longer hottrs and lower wages. The miners' federation\nemphasises:\nGo Into Power and By-Products\n\"We suggest that the coal Industry should become an organization for the mining of coal, manufacturing electrical power on a\nvery large scale, making both coke\nand smokeless fuel, and producing\nIn addition gas, fuel oils, ammonium compounds, chemical base materials from tars, and other byproducts.1'\nReturning to the big question o'f\nwho ls to get the savings from such\neconomies, the federation says:\n\"There Is a fear that In a nationalized Industry the producers may\noccupy an extremely strong strategic position which would enable\nthem to force unreasonable de.\nmands. It is clear that the producers in a publicly-owned industry\nhave a strong claim for reasonable\ntreatment, but it is equally clear\nthat the community cannot normally permit conditions of employment\nwhich the Industry cannot sustain,\nor which are unfair to consumers.\nIt has never been proposed by the\nlabor government that producers\nin a nationally-owned industry\nshould determine their own remuneration.\nTalk Wages Wtth Consumers\n\"We have taken the view thet the\nconsumers, if they can be adequately organized\u00E2\u0080\u0094as they can ln\nthe case of coal and power\u00E2\u0080\u0094might\nbe the body with whom the producers Bhould, in the first place, negotiate on questions which may In.\nvolve an Increased charge upon\nconsumers. This method is the\nmore desirable because elimination\nof waste, better co-ordination, and\nthe development ot new methods\nand processes will we believe re.\nault ln large gains, and the proportion in which thoee gains ahould\nhe allocated to the producers and\n<*\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 _n_u*_icr_ can only bo doclded by\n.considerations with which only actual producers and representatives\nof consumers can be familiar.\"\nVancouvtr Turkish Baths\nWill Cure Your Rheumatism\nLumbago, Neuritis or Bad Cold\nMASSAGE A SPECIALTY\nPACIFIC BUILDING\nlit Hast.

Con.\nsidered by tbe artisan as only a\ncounter Jumper and having the\nfeeling himself that he ls above the\nordinary worker In social station,\nhe has been -ground between the\nlowering of \"Actual Wages'' by the\ndistributive trades and the heightening of the price of commodities\nby Increases given to the organized trades.\nSeveral efforts have bcen made\nto organize this class of \"Tbe\n\"White Collared Proletariat'1 without auccess, fpr the reason that\nateady Jobs are\u00E2\u0080\u0094well a meal ticket\nand the clerk has become like most\nother workers are fast becoming,\na, mere automatic appendage to\nsystematic production and distribution Instead of having to slice\nbacon by hand as Wds done _0 years'\nago, a turn of the handle or a touch\no'f a button now does what could\nonly be done by experience.\n'Most of the goods handled are\nalready packed and need no weighing. Scales have tables showing\nthe exact cost of the article being\nsold thereby doing away with the\nnecessity of quickness In arithmetic. The clerk, therefore, has become what may be called, for lack\nof a better term, \"A Common Laborer.'' The sooner the clerks realize this the better It will be for\nthem.\nThat there is the makings of a\nHire organization In this class of\nworker Is evident by tbe large meeting held ln the Hotel Vancouver on\nThursday to protest against any\ninterference with the Wednesday\nHalf Holiday and the remarks of\nappreciation passed regarding the\nspeech of Dr. Lyle Telford which\nwas an appeal for advanced thought\nand closer organization.\nThe Idea seems to have taken\nroot that hours of labor are of vital\nImportance, taking procedure over\nwage conditions. This Is good for\nthe retail cleri on the\" average gets\nthe maglflcent salary of $20 per\nweek and since the necessary wage\nfor the minimum of comfort for the\naverage family in Canada is $21.30,\nIt is obvious that wages cannot be\nreduced very much further.\nThe Trades Union movement\nshould and must nurse this new\norganization for there are more\nclerks- than any other kind of\nWorkers In this city and they have\na propaganda value that cannot be\noverlooked. At the moment there\nls the desire to stay away from\norganized labor but with careful\nhandling this difficulty could be\novercome, and when It Is the clerks\nwlll be of great use to organized\nlabor. Strenuous efforts nre being\nmade to increase the membership\nand at present the outlook Is good\nand tlle powers that be are taking\nnote.\nSpecial appeal should be made to\nInterest clerks in the I.L.P. because\nof special trade conditions their\nmain hope lies In political action,\nand their mental condition at present is better suited for sowing political seed than industrial concepts.\nwhole district of the state on moit- ^.^ ___._t(._ of ,_-|(i __,,__ Bl.u.\ngage for a full term of a country ^ profcc.t1o\u00E2\u0080\u009E -,c ne*t\u00E2\u0080\u009Eer -re0 t0\nto a Punjabi capitalist In \"eu.of home ,\u00E2\u0080\u009E_ _m, (\ni -is |i:i ibUdil -Tlii- ,*\u00E2\u0096\u00A0! till ."@en .
