A surge of widespread expansion, new development, and heavy construction, which had featured the 1956 era, continued apace. The engineering and development of electric-power sources and transportation facilities again received priority in the programme for progress in 1957, with urgent demands for additional power for industry and the needs of a growing population hastening expansion schedules in most instances. Problems of marketing and declines in world metal prices continued to beset the forest and mining industries, creating uncertain and hazardous situations for many operators. Difficulties in the lumber industries increased, with some slackening in the rate of domestic building during the year, the general situation being further complicated by heavy stock-piling, due to lower price structures, and a reduced demand for some products. While the number of domestic housing units completed was somewhat lower than during the previous year, the decrease in this direction was offset by considerable increase in other phases of the industry, including commercial construction, and the completion of many new public buildings and facilities. The downward trend of world prices for base metals was responsible for a further decline in the mining industry, with many operations suspended or curtailed, due largely to the uncertainty of the price structures. Despite unfavourable trends in world markets, and labour troubles during the latter portion of the year, the pulp and paper industry continued an extensive programme of expansion, and preparation for increased production in the future. Development of new plants and the completion of additions to existing facilities rounded out a busy year in this section. Earnings continued higher for industrial workers, the rate of increase being a little slower than noted during the previous year. The average industrial-wage figure computed for all male wage-earners included in the coverage of the 1957 survey was $76.52, an increase of $2.90 above the previous high of $73.62 reported in 1956. Industrial payroll totals continued higher in eighteen of the twenty-five classifications mentioned in the statistical section, which follows in this Report for 1957. Greatest increase during the year was again in the heavy construction industries, with payrolls increased a further $25,900,000 from the 1956 total. Second largest increase was noted in public utilities, where payroll totals were higher by some $10,500,000- Metal-trades industries reported payrolls advanced by $7,400,000, while the food-products manufacturing industries recorded payroll increases of over $4,600,000. Cartage, trucking, and warehousing operations increased, with payrolls up over $3,500,000, while ship-building and boat-building also recorded a similar advance, with payrolls up in excess of $3,500,000. Payrolls in coast shipping increased by some $3,000,000, while oil refining and distributing was higher by $2,800,000 and printing and publishing pay- * Due to the time entailed obtaining returns, it is not possible to include in the 1958 Report statistics of trades and industries for that year. Satisfies relating to 1958 will be included in the 1959 Annual Report of the Department. F 10 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR rolls showed a gain of $2,700,000. For others in order of increase see "Comparison of Payrolls " in the Report data. Employment was noticeably higher during the first portion of the year, with monthly totals increasing to a peak during the month of August, when the summary total of industrial workers employed stood at 224,130, as compared with 221,732 noted for the same month in 1956. Most significant increases in employment appeared in public utilities, pulp and paper manufacturing, printing and publishing, oil refining and distribution, food- products manufacturing, construction, and others in lesser degree. Major employment losses occurred in the forest and mining industries, due to adverse conditions experienced during the year. The trend toward a shorter industrial work-week continued in 1957, the average working-hours for all wage-earners in the 1957 survey being recorded at a new low of 41.06 hours, down from 41.36 hours for an average week during the previous year. STATISTICS OF TRADES AND INDUSTRIES F 11 Statistics of Trades and Industries The 1957 statistical section presents a cross-section of our industrial economy with respect to payrolls, employment, earnings, and hours of labour, and sets out in review the various elements of change and fluctuation which occurred during the past twelve months, and their general effects on the working force. Employers' Returns Total 9,424 Total number of industrial firms reported in active operation during 1957 was a little below the 1956 high, while compared with the previous year a considerable increase was noted in the number of firms reporting no operation, or out of business during the survey period. Survey figures were based on returns from 9,424 industrial firms in 1957, as against a high of 9,570 reporting in time for tabulation in 1956. Since many firms when reporting file returns in more than one industrial classification, the term " number of firms reporting " where mentioned in the text has reference actually to the number of returns tabulated. Industrial Payroll Totals, 1952-57 $1,000,000,000 900,000,000 800,000,000 F 12 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR Payroll Total expenditure for salaries and wages as reported by the 9,424 industrial firms filing returns in time for classification in the 1957 Report was $903,235,994, this amount being considered as representing the British Columbia industrial payroll for that year. An approximation of the entire Provincial estimated payroll, however, may be approached by the addition of supplementary figures as noted below, comprising other items of labour expenditure not already included in the industrial total. This accumulative figure, comprising the industrial summary together with supplementary items as listed, was estimated at $1,500,000,000 for 1957.

In reference to the above sequence of annual payroll totals, it should be noted that at the publication date of each year's Report and for the following twelve months the new figure is considered as strictly a preliminary estimate. As additional data become available, the current total is revised and subject to reprint in the Report issue for the following year. A distribution of the annual industrial payroll total into three main classifications of expenditure is obtained from the survey summaries, which divide the salaries and wages into three portions involving executive, clerical, and wage-earner groups. A percentage figure representing the proportion of total expended in each group is shown in the table following, with comparative figures for previous years:— 1928 $183,097,781 1943 1929 192,092,249 1944 1930 _ 167,133,813 1945 1931 131,941,008 1946 1937 102,957,074 1947 1933 99,T26,fi53 1948 1934 . . 113,567,953 1949 1935 125,812,140 1950 1936 ... _ 142,349,591 1951 1937 162,654,234 1952 1938 158,026,375 1953 1939 165,683,460 1954 1940 188,325,766 1955 1941 239,525,459 1956 1942 321,981,489 1957 STATISTICS OF TRADES AND INDUSTRIES F 13 1953 1954 1955 1956 1957 Officers, superintendents, and managers — Per Cent 9.90 12.92 77.18 Per Cent 10.85 13.20 75.95 Per Cent 10.99 12.88 76.13 Per Cent 10.56 13.30 76.14 Per Cent 11.22 13.95 74.83 Totals 100.00 100.00 100.00 100.00 100.00 Comparison of Payrolls Although heavy set-backs occurred in some basic industries, industrial payrolls were generally higher in 1957, and decreases, where noted, were easily offset by gains in other sections of the economy. Pressures of continued expansion in new industrial and commercial development pushed the over-all annual payroll total to a new high, some $52,901,595 above the 1956 figure, and representing a gain of 6.2 per cent. Most sizeable increase was again in the construction industries, where payrolls advanced a further $25,906,605 from the record high established during the previous year. Public utilities gained rapidly during 1957, with payrolls increased by $10,529,152, while the metal-trades industries was third in line, with payroll increases amounting to $7,423,349. Labour costs in the manufacturing of food products increased by $4,653,526, followed by cartage, trucking, and warehousing operations, with payrolls up $3,581,655. Ship-building and boat-building payrolls showed an increase of $3,555,224; coast shipping, a gain of $3,049,384; oil refining and distributing, up $2,828,220; and printing and publishing payrolls, an increase of $2,778,678. Miscellaneous trades and industries were ahead by $2,595,511, followed by smelting and concentrating, with payroll totals increased by $2,538,165, and pulp and paper manufacturing up $1,914,432. Builders' materials registered a gain of $1,363,558 in payroll totals; explosives, fertilizers, and chemicals, an increase of $801,569; laundries, cleaning and dyeing increased by $397,964; breweries, distilleries, and aerated-water manufacturers, a gain of $322,866; jewellery manufacturing and repair increased by $138,696; and leather- and fur-goods manufacturing, an increase of $23,617. Major decrease in labour expenditures occurred in the lumber industries, where payrolls dropped by $16,373,224, due to curtailment of production in the face of uncertain market conditions and weakening price structures. Whereas in 1956 wood- manufacturing (N.E.S.) had recorded a gain in excess of $4,700,000, 1957 payrolls in this section were lower by some $2,313,792. Lower base-metal prices throughout the world resulted in shut-down or closure of many operations in the mining industry, with a loss of annual payroll amounting to $2,120,250 in this direction. Minor decreases were also noted in the payrolls of coast shipping, house furnishings, and garment- manufacturing in comparison with 1956 figures.

Broadening of our industrial horizons northward in the exploitation of additional sources of hydro-electric power, and the widening search for mineral wealth, natural gas, and oil reserves has hastened the development of additional roads and transportation facilities, and continues to present a challenge and an invitation to future ventures of new enterprise and industry. Payrolls of the larger metropolitan areas continue to show a growing concentration of business and industry in rapidly expanding centralized sectors. With the rate of growth in these areas, the gradual merging of urban areas with close-lying municipal and inter- urban districts creates considerable difficulty in the matter of payroll segregation, and for statistical purposes these composite sectors are therefore shown under heading of " Census Metropolitan Areas." Separate industrial payroll totals are shown in the following section for the " Census Metropolitan Area of Vancouver " and the " Census Metropolitan Area of Victoria," with mention of the municipalities and districts included in the totals and comparative figures for the previous year.

The over-all increase in average weekly earnings for all industrial wage-earners included in the survey amounted to 3.94 per cent, compared with a gain of 4.47 per cent in 1956. Average weekly earnings were higher in twenty-one of the twenty-five industrial classifications relating to the wage-earner group, the minor exceptions, where noted, representing fractional decreases in the averages due to fluctuations in employment rather than to a lowering of the actual wage rate. Shown in the table immediately following are the average weekly earnings for male wage-earners, based on one week of greatest employment in each industry under survey for the years 1950 to 1957.

The inclusion of sales personnel in the totals of clerical workers used in this section is responsible to some extent for fluctuations which may be noted from year to year in some instances, where the effect of an exceptionally good year or a poor business cycle may tend to be reflected in the earnings of this class of employee. Higher earnings were generally shared by both male and female workers in the clerical section, the average for this group in all industries showing an advance of 3.2 per cent for males and a rise of 4.6 per cent for females, in comparison with previous levels. Average weekly earnings for male clerical workers in all industries under survey increased to $80.88 in 1957, up from $78.35 reported in 1956. The 1957 weekly average for female employees in this category was recorded at $50.42, increased from $48.20 previously noted. Comparative average weekly earnings for male and female clerical workers in the various industries under survey are shown in the following table for the years 1956 and 1957:— F 18 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR Industry 1956 1957 Males Females Males Females $75.72 74.09 70.94 78.75 71.44 76.39 86.42 71.62 61.54 72.80 65.42 72.26 67.65 83.23 73.94 89.97 70.33 79.87 70.65 74.83 88.85 81.50 92.47 80.76 82.32 $48.95 45.09 42.16 43.00 48.13 47.28 48.76 45.60 49.17 47.49 47.32 40.93 43.49 50.40 46.54 52.37 49.64 54.09 44.39 44.56 53.38 43.25 55.01 50.29 51.39 $75.98 80.72 72.58 79.08 74.91 79.43 89.15 75.98 59.51 74.36 66.86 72.88 75.79 85.52 76.66 92.37 74.42 83.04 74.65 77.88 91.50 84.16 92.66 81.97 84.64 $50.44 46.85 44.06 Coal-mining 42.33 50.85 50.47 52.95 47.92 48.55 48.35 43.27 42.40 45.84 52.70 48.67 52.52 51.43 58.83 51.78 Printing and publishing _ _ 47.70 55.50 46.37 55.39 Street-railways, gas, water, power, telephones, etc 52.01 51.81 $78.35 $48.20 $80.88 $50.42 Industrial Wage Income from wages and salaries in the industrial field continued to gain during 1957, supporting a high rate of consumer spending, in spite of further increases in retail price levels. Representing weekly earnings for male wage-earners in all industrial occupations, the 1957 average climbed to a new high of $76.52, an increase of $2.90 above the previous record mark of $73.62 set in 1956.

Firms with Large Payrolls Inspired confidence in the future of British Columbia's industrial growth is graphically portrayed in the annual survey of firms reporting in the higher payroll brackets. The 1957 study of industrial firms with payrolls of $100,000 and over showed a continuation of the trend established during the previous year, with further emphasis on heavy capital investment in new industrial and commercial construction, and a continuing programme of expansion and development in power and transportation facilities. STATISTICS OF TRADES AND INDUSTRIES F 21 A proportionate distribution of the larger firms throughout the industrial coverage and a close look at the concentration of labour force in certain basic industries may be obtained in the following section, the figures, however, excluding payrolls in wholesale or retail trade, transcontinental railways, and public authorities (Federal, Provincial, or municipal). Compared with the previous year, a further increase was apparent in the number of industrial firms reporting in the upper brackets, a total of 1,241 firms showing payrolls of $100,000 or over in the 1957 survey, compared with 1,189 reported in 1956, an increase of 52. While for some years the lumber industries had maintained the lead with the greatest number of firms in the larger payroll group, the construction industry was first in 1957, with a total of 253 firms reporting in this category, an increase of 27 above the figure for the previous year. Although the lumber industry was in second place, and still high with a total of 238 firms reporting in the large payroll category, this figure represented a decrease of 33 from the previous year's high mark of 271 for this section. Metal trades followed in third position, with a total of 193 firms with larger payrolls, increased by 20 from the figure for 1956. Food-products manufacturing remained fourth in order of greatest number, with 101 firms reporting in the upper brackets during 1957, an increase of 6 from the previous year. Miscellaneous trades and industries reported 81 firms in the higher payroll classification, an increase of 2; coast shipping, 41, a decrease of 2; wood-manufacturing (N.E.S.), 38, a gain of 3; printing and publishing, 36, an increase of 9; cartage, trucking, and warehousing, 34, increased by 2; builders' materials, 30, an increase of 4; metal-mining, 24, a drop of 2; public utilities section, 22, increased by 1; house furnishings, 20, an increase of 6; ship-building and boat-building, 20, increased by 4; laundries, cleaning and dyeing, 18, unchanged from the previous year, oil refining and distribution, 16, also unchanged; breweries, distilleries, and aerated- water manufacturers, 14, a drop of 1; explosives, fertilizers, and chemicals, 14, an increase of 6; pulp and paper manufacturing, 13, increased by 1; garment-manufacturing, 11, a decrease of 2; leather and fur goods, 6, no change from the previous figure; paint-manufacturing, 6, also unchanged; smelting and concentrating, 5, up 1; and coalmining and jewellery manufacturing and repair, 4 and 3 respectively, both showing no change from figures for the previous year. The 1957 industrial survey showed a total of 122 firms with payrolls of over $1,000,000, as compared with 117 firms noted in this group during 1956. In this special classification the returns showed 25 firms exceeding $5,000,000, 6 between $4,000,000 and $5,000,000, 9 between $3,000,000 and $4,000,000, 11 between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000, and 71 between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000. Employment Employment summaries mounted rapidly during the first few months of 1957, passing the high point reached during the previous year in the month of August, when the monthly summary total for all industries reporting was 1.8 per cent higher than the 1956 figure for the same month. Further growth in population, together with the continuing high rate of new construction and industrial expansion during the first half of the year, created record employment totals in those industries affected, with increases ranging as high as 17.3 per cent during the month of greatest employment. Twelve of the twenty-five industrial classifications reported higher employment totals than previously recorded, the most important increases showing in public utilities, pulp and paper manufacturing, printing and publishing, oil refining and distribution, food- products manufacturing, construction, and others in lesser degree. F 22 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR Heaviest losses in employment were noted in the lumber and mining industries, where curtailment in production and termination of many operations due to marketing and price difficulties brought lower figures in these classifications, which normally account for a greater proportion of the total labour-supply. Of the thirteen industries recording decreases, the lumber industries reported a drop of 15.6 per cent during the month of greatest employment in 1957. Others noted were house furnishings, down 11.8 per cent; wood-manufacturing (N.E.S.), a decrease of 11.2 per cent; metal-mining, down 10.1 per cent; coal-mining, a decrease of 8.1 per cent; garment-manufacturing, off 6.8 per cent; while minor decreases also occurred in the miscellaneous trades and industries section, jewellery manufacturing and repair, smelting and concentrating, leather- and fur-goods manufacturing, and various industries in smaller degree. The high and low monthly totals noted in each industry during 1957 are shown in the following table, together with comparative data for 1956. Also following in this section are charts dealing with the over-all trends of employment for clerical workers, the wage-earner group, and total industrial employment for 1957 and previous years.

The single figure reported below is representative of an average work-week in all industries covered by the survey, and is considered as a reliable indicator of the fluctuation in hours of work from year to year. Based on a week of normal employment in each industry during 1957, the average industrial work-week for all wage-earners reported was computed at 41.06 hours, well below the 1956 figure of 41.36, and the previous record low of 41.34 hours noted in 1955. Comparative average figures for the years 1930 to 1957 were as follows:— 1930- 1931- 1932- 1933.. 1934.. 1935- 1936- 1937.. 1938- 1939- 1940- 1941.. 1942- 1943- 48.62 47.37 47.69 47.35 47.32 47.17 47.63 47.25 46.84 47.80 46.91 46.90 48.12 47.19 1944- ... 46.02 1945 - 45.59 1946 43.63 1947 42.24 1948 . . 42.21 1949 „ 42.24 1950 .. 41.80 1951 .. - 42.01 1952 42.00 1953 _ 41.60 1954 41.37 1955 . 41.34 1956 - 41.36 1957— . 41.06 Including the years 1947 to 1957, the following table shows the total number of firms covered in the hours-of-work survey, together with the number of wage-earners reported each year, the proportion of the reported total at or below the legal maximum of 44 hours, and the percentage still remaining in excess of this limit.

Fractional decreases in working-time were noted in most instances, with approximately 65 per cent of all industrial classifications covered reporting shorter hours for both wage-earners and clerical employees. The 1957 average work-week for wage-earners was shorter in nineteen of the twenty- nine industrial classifications included in the survey, while the average working-time for clerical employees decreased in twenty of the industries covered. Increases in the working-week were noted in the construction industries, builders' materials, explosives and chemicals, smelting and concentrating, metal-mining, wood- manufacturing, and others in lesser degree, but were offset by shorter hours in a majority { HOURS OF WORK ACT ' F 41 of the industries reporting. Compared with previous figures, decreases were most marked in the ship-building and boat-building section, oil refining and distributing, coast shipping, metal trades, pulp and paper manufacturing, the forest industries, coal-mining, and various manufacturing industries. Less overtime was apparent in the fact that the proportion of total wage-earners reported at hours in excess of the 44-hour week was further reduced to 13.98 per cent, while some 86.02 per cent of the total were shown as working at or below the legal limit. Compared with the previous year, an increase was noted in the number of clerical workers reported in the section dealing with hours of work, the 1957 summary showing an over-all total of 33,280 in this classification, as against 29,811 reported in 1956. Shorter hours were apparent for most clerical employees, the average week for this entire group being computed at 37.36 hours in 1957, down from 37.75 hours shown for a similar week during the previous year.

STATISTICS OF CIVIC AND MUNICIPAL WORKERS F 43 Statistics of Civic and Municipal Workers The annual industrial survey is also inclusive of reports from cities and municipalities, the returns in this case concerning workers employed in public works, the generation and distribution of light and power, and similar operations owned and operated by the city or municipality reporting. As a portion of the total Provincial payroll, the figures which appear in this section have been included with related industrial classifications mentioned elsewhere in this Report, but are here shown separately in order to obtain a comparison with similar data for previous years. Returns were received from some 147 civic and municipal administrations in time for tabulation in the 1957 summaries, the reports showing labour costs for that year amounting to $28,163,594, an increase of $4,782,021 from the payroU total of $23,381,573 noted in 1956. Separate payroll totals covering the supervisory staff, clerical workers, and the wage- earner group are shown in the table following, together with comparative data for the two previous years 1955 and 1956:— 1955 1956 1957 Officers, superintendents, and managers- Clerks, stenographers, etc Wage-earners $2,169,471 2,613,945 16,574,939 $2,595,703 3,512,842 17,273,028 $2,766,596 4,590,136 20,806,862 Totals- $21,358,355 I $23,381,573 $28,163,594 Considerable increase was noted in the number of persons on civic and municipal payrolls during 1957, with employment totals rising sharply in both the wage-earner classification and the clerical group. The total workers reported in all departments reached a new high of 7,697 during the peak employment month of August in 1957, this figure representing an over-all increase of 11.2 per cent when compared with the total of 6,919 recorded for the high month in 1956. Monthly employment totals for both classifications of civic and municipal employees are shown in the following table, with comparative figures for the previous year:— F 44 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR Employment'Totals1 of Civic and Municipal Workers, 1956 and 1957 1956 1957 Month Wage-earners Clerks, Stenographers, etc. Wage-earners Clerks, Stenographers, etc. Males Females Males Females Males Females Males Females 4,624 4,547 4,754 4,987 5,262 5,424 5,570 5,514 5,447 5,173 5,065 4,869 63 57 63 63 114 166 187 157 67 66 67 67 658 682 683 685 706 736 746 750 752 746 753 760 379 373 370 375 392 408 416 410 410 419 420 416 4,953 4,923 5,082 5,440 5,837 6,076 6,165 6,187 6,059 5,887 5,704 5,500 79 75 91 75 132 147 169 159 87 98 92 86 796 806 813 816 857 867 873 875 876 871 869 876 422 430 424 429 451 462 July 469 476 September . 462 472 480 December 481 1 Totals represent the number of employees on payroll on the last day of each month or nearest working-date. In the wage distribution reported below, varying percentages of the total number of male wage-earners on civic and municipal payrolls are shown in their respective salary groups for the years 1955, 1956, and 1957:— Weekly Earnings Under $25.00 30.00 35.00 40.00 45.00 50.00 55.00 60.00 70.00 80.00 90.00 100.00 $25.00 - to $29.99- to 34.99.. to 39.99.. to 44.99- to 49.99- to 54.99.. to 59.99- to 69.99- to 79.99- to 89.99.. to 99.99.. and over— The percentage distribution in the various wage classifications again shows an increasing concentration of workers in the higher brackets, the 1957 segregation indicating an additional 8 per cent of the total in the groups ranging from $60 to $90 per week. For civic and municipal workers in the wage-earner classification, average weekly earnings reached a new high of $68.06 in 1957, well above the previous record of $64.08 noted for this group in 1956. Clerical staffs also benefited by increased earnings in 1957, the average figure representing weekly earnings in this section, rising to $72.42 for males during the year, in comparison with an average salary of $69.26 weekly in 1956. For female employees in clerical occupations, earnings were computed at $49.09 for an average week in 1957, up from $46.52 reported as the weekly average during the previous year. The average work-week for civic and municipal employees was a little shorter in the case of clerical employees but a fraction longer for the wage-earner group in 1957. For the group comprising some 5,951 wage-earners reported in the hours-of-work survey, average working-time was computed at 40.14 hours for the week under review, a slight advance from the record low of 39.95 hours set during the previous year. Working-time for the 1,361 employees reported in clerical occupations was a little less than previously reported, the average week being recorded at 35.66 hours, down from 36.07 hours for a similar week in 1956. SUMMARY OF NEW LAWS AFFECTING LABOUR F 45 Summary of New Laws Affecting Labour (Passed by the Legislature of British Columbia, Session 1958) " Hairdressers Act Amendment Act, 1958 " This Act increased the fee for membership in the association from $10 to $15 and the fee for special certificates from $10 to $15. It also clarified the status of persons holding non-operative certificates. Renewal fees formerly fixed by the association are now fixed by the Lieutenant-Governor in Council. "Semi-monthly Payment of Wages Act" Section 8 of this Act was amended by section 24 of the " Statute Law Amendment Act, 1958," to make it possible for the lustice to levy distress in default of payment of wages where an order is made under subsection (2) of section 8.

Sir,—We have the honour to present the twenty-fifth annual report of the Board of Industrial Relations for the year ended December 31st, 1958. The activities of the Board include those formerly directed by the Minimum Wage Board, which functioned for sixteen years prior to 1934. The original Board dealt with minimum wages, hours of labour, and conditions of employment for women and girls, so this report, in so far as it relates to women workers, is the forty-first annual record of labour laws and their results in that sphere. Meetings and Delegations During the year the Board held fifty-one meetings, fifty of which were held in the City of Vancouver and the other in the City of Victoria. Hearings were held by the Board in Vancouver, B.C., in connection with the revision of Minimum Wage Orders applying to employers and employees in the laundry, cleaning and dyeing industries and employers and employees in the occupation of hairdressing. The Board heard representations from the Amalgamated Association of Street, Electric Railway and Motor Coach Employees of America, who requested that the occupation of bus operator be added to the Schedule to the " Hours of Work Act." This request of the trade-union was not opposed by the employers. A survey was conducted by the Board to determine if the scope of Minimum Wage Order No. 15 (1949), applicable to the undertaking business, should be extended to J BOARD OF INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS F 47 additional areas of the Province. The survey indicated that there was no necessity at this time to extend the application of the Order beyond its present scope, and accordingly no action was taken in this connection. Following representations from the Federation of Fruit and Vegetable Workers' Unions, which organization requested that the annual regulation extending the hours of work in the fresh fruit and vegetable industry should not be made, the Board held several hearings regarding the hours of work in the industry. Having regard to all the circumstances, the Board did not accede to the request for a reduction in the hours of work during the fruit season, and accordingly made the annual regulation, which is outlined in another section of this Report. Orders and Regulations Made during 1958 Minimum Wage Orders 1. Occupation of Hairdressing—Male and Female Minimum Wage Order No. 27 (1958).—This Minimum Wage Order increased the minimum wage applicable to employees in the occupation of hairdressing from $25 to $35 per week for full-time employees and from 65 to 90 cents per hour for part-time employees. 2. Laundry, Cleaning and Dyeing Industries—Male and Female Minimum Wage Order No. 30 (1958).—This Order, which cancelled Order No. 74 (1946), increased the minimum wage from 40 to 75 cents per hour. Learners' rates were also increased from a range of 31 to 40 cents per hour to a range of 55 to 65 cents per hour. It reduces the learning period from six months to six weeks. 3. Radio-broadcast Technicians—Male and Female Minimum Wage Order No. 8 (1948).—As it had been established that jurisdiction with respect to these employees lay with the Federal rather than Provincial authority, the Board made an Order cancelling Minimum Wage Order No. 8 (1948). Regulations Made pursuant to the " Hours of Work Act" Regulation No. 42 (1958).—This annual regulation of the Board exempted persons employed in the pipe-line construction industry from the operation of the "Hours of Work Act" from March 20th, 1958, to December 31st, 1958. Regulation No. 1 (1958).—This regulation added the occupation of bus operator to the Schedule to the " Hours of Work Act." Regulation No. 1a (1958).—This regulation permits bus operators to work such hours as may be necessary to meet the requirements of public transportation. Regulation No. 21 (1958).—This regulation exempted the fresh fruit and vegetable industry from the operation of the "Hours of Work Act" from June 1st, 1958, to November 30th, 1958. Christmas Regulation.—This regulation permitted employees in retail establishments in the mercantile industry to work up to ten hours in the day on any two days during the two-week period ending December 27th, 1958. A regulation was made by the Board cancelling Regulation No. 36a, which had been applicable to the donkey-engine fireman employed at the Gordon River Camp of Western Forest Industries Limited. (A summary of the above-mentioned orders and regulations, together with existing and new orders and regulations, may be obtained from the Department of Labour free of charge upon request.) F 48 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR Statistics Covering Women and Girl Employees Since its earliest inception, the dedicated purpose of the British Columbia Department of Labour has been to foster and develop the welfare of the worker, and in the pursuit of this ideal the well-being and material progress of female employment in industry and business has become an item of increasing importance and constant concern. The mark of successful achievement in the promotion of labour legislation is pictured in the annual record of significant changes which have occurred throughout the years, and in the gradual decrease in working-hours, the betterment of working conditions, increased wages, and improved standards of living may be seen the end result of continued vigilance on the part of this Provincial authority. For each basic classification covered in the yearly survey of women workers in occupations subject to minimum-wage legislation, a five-year summary is presented in the section which follows, the tables being based on comparative information for each year, in regard to employment and firms reporting, weekly payroll totals, average weekly earnings, and hours of work. Covering the period of greatest employment, a total of 8,430 firms completed returns in the 1957 survey, the reports indicating a sum total of 73,414 women workers on payroll during one week of that year, a considerable increase in comparison with previous surveys. Mercantile Industry (Female) 1957 1956 I 1955 1954 1953 Number of firms reporting— Total number of employees- Total weekly earnings- Average weekly earnings Average hours worked per week- 1,709 13,420 $490,241.00 $36.53 35.06 1,694 13,088 $442,336.00 $33.80 34.04 1,698 14,374 $488,771.00 $34.00 36.05 1,717 13,728 $464,712.00 $33.85 37.08 1,813 12,206 $384,169.00 $31.47 36.31 Representing the second largest classification of female employment, the mercantile section accounted for some 13,420 female workers in 1957, the total being based on returns from some 1,709 firms in all types of retail and wholesale trade. Compared with the previous year, increased employment was apparent, although the reported total was still below the high figure noted during the years 1954 and 1955 in this section. Weekly earnings were higher for employees of mercantile establishments during the year under review, the average weekly figure showing at $36.53, compared with $33.80 previously noted. Working-hours for female employees in this classification showed a slight increase over the previous year, although some fluctuation is not unusual in the averages for this section, due to the effect of peak employment cycles occurring in many establishments during the Christmas week. The average working-time during the survey week in 1957 was 35.06 hours, up from a low of 34.04 hours during a similar week in 1956.

While the 1957 totals of employment and firms reporting constituted an increase over the previous year, the employment figure did not reach the high of 2,797 recorded in 1955. Wages showed a marked increase in this classification, the average weekly earnings for females employed in laundry occupations rising to $38.02 in 1957, up from $35.69 noted in the previous survey. Shorter hours were also apparent in this section, the average work-week during the period under review being reported at 36.55 hours, a further decrease from the 1956 average of 37.34 hours, and 37.69 recorded in 1955.

Summary total of female workers reported by the 1,315 firms fifing returns in the 1957 inquiry was 12,137, as compared with a 1956 total of 11,765 women and girls in similar occupations during 1956, when fewer returns were received. Higher earnings and shorter hours were apparent in the hotel and catering business, the average figure representing weekly individual earnings for the 12,137 workers shown in the 1957 returns being computed at $32.81, increased from $31.02 recorded in 1956, and an average take-home pay of $30.44 in this group during 1955. A fractional decrease was noted in the average hours of work, the 1957 figure showing at 35.04, down from 35.11 hours previously mentioned for this group in 1956. Office Occupation (Female) 1957 1956 1955 1954 1953 3,683 24,157 $1,165,312.00 $48.24 36.89 3,519 23,050 $1,059,939.00 $45.98 37.50 3,538 21,214 $924,867.00 $43.60 37.30 3,483 20,069 $856,551.00 $42.68 37.66 3 588 19,143 $781,343 00 $40.82 37 65 The office occupation continues to provide employment for the greatest number of women workers in industry and business, and increases were again apparent in the 1957 totals in comparison with previous years. The number of firms reporting office-workers F 50 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR increased from a 1956 total of 3,519 to 3,683 in 1957, the returns indicating a total employment of 24,157 females in clerical occupations, considerably increased from the figure of 23,050 reported for the previous year. Higher salaries and shorter hours were prevalent in this section, the average individual weekly salary for office personnel increasing to $48.24 in 1957, from $45.98 previously recorded. A further decline in average hours of work was noted, the average work-week for female clerical workers showing at 36.89 hours in 1957, compared with an average of 37.50 hours during the survey period in 1956. Hairdressing Occupation (Female) 1957 1956 1955 1954 1953 97 409 $18,780.00 $45.92 38.56 92 380 $17,834.00 $46.93 38.78 95 375 $16,025.00 $42.73 38.74 97 345 $13,844.00 $40.13 38.02 97 283 $10,447.00 Average weekly earnings... $36.92 38.83 The above table relating to hairdressing and beauty-parlour establishments has been restricted to include only those establishments employing staff. Since many shops in this type of business are maintained by the individual proprietress who is the sole operator, the group of workers in the above table remains a comparatively small one and represents a sampling, rather than a total coverage of all operators in the business. While a gradual increase continued in the total employment reported in this occupation, per capita weekly earnings were not quite as high as noted during the previous year, with a corresponding relationship being apparent in the hours worked, which were also a little below the level of 1956. Average weekly earnings in the group of 409 operators during the survey was $45.92 in 1957, compared with individual average earnings of $46.93 computed for a week in 1956. A fractional decrease was noted in the work-week, the 1957 average declining to 38.56 hours, from 38.78 hours for an average week during the previous year. Fishing Industry (Female) 1957 1956 1955 1954 1953 Number of firms reporting 20 1,748 $81,224.00 $46.47 31.33 20 1,629 $70,579.00 $43.33 30.92 21 2,108 $68,449.00 $32.47 26.63 38 2,291 $106,559.00 $46.51 38.67 30 2,424 $99,940.00 $41.23 38.72 Due to conditions affecting the business from year to year, employment and earnings in the fishing industry are subject to considerable variation, and are dependent largely on the amount of fish taken, the time factor in handling and processing procedures, and various emergent situations which must be expected due to the seasonal nature of the industry. Employment for female workers in the industry showed improvement over the previous year, although the 1957 total did not approach the high figures noted for some of the previous years mentioned in the table. While the number of firms reporting was the same as in 1956, the total employment of female workers in 1957 increased to 1,748, from 1,629 previously reported. BOARD OF INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS F 51 The extensive use of piece-workers in addition to full-time employees during processing operations in this industry is responsible to some degree for higher figures noted occasionally in regard to average weekly earnings. Average earnings during the week under survey in 1957 increased to $46.47, considerably advanced from $43.33 recorded in 1956, and just short of the high mark of $46.51 established in this industry during 1954. Working-time during an average week in 1957 was a little above the previous year, the average week under survey being reported at 31.33 hours, up from 30.92 hours noted in 1956.

While female staff engaged in switchboard occupations is now subject to coverage of the legislation which applies to all other office personnel, for purposes of comparison regarding earnings and hours of work the above table has been continued, to include this group in addition to firms in the actual business of communication. Some 333 firms reported female employees in occupations relating to the telephone and telegraph industry, the total employment reported in the 1957 returns increasing to a new high of 4,656 workers, up from 4,233 noted in 1956, and well above the previous high employment totals of 1953 and 1954. Average weekly earnings reached their highest figure for this group in 1957, the current survey showing an increase in the weekly average to a high of $43.22, advanced from $42.60 recorded in 1956 and $41.88 in 1955. Little change was apparent in the working-hours for employees in telephone, telegraph, and switchboard occupations, the 1957 average week showing only a fractional increase to 37.78 hours, in comparison with 37.47 hours listed for a similar week during the previous year.

Returns from 732 firms in this classification showed an over-all total of 8,237 female workers employed, increased from 7,916 shown for the previous year. For the week of the survey the payroll for the 732 firms reporting amounted to $383,437, or a per capita average weekly salary of $46.55 for the 8,237 female workers F 52 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR employed. Compared with the previous year, the 1957 average represented an increase of $2.54. A fractional increase was, however, apparent in the work-week, which advanced slightly in 1957 to 38.12 hours, from 37.91 hours previously noted.

While the number of returns received in time for tabulation was not as high as in previous years, employment showed considerable improvement from the previous year, the returns indicating a total of 5,047 women and girls employed in the processing establishments, compared with 4,685 reported in 1956. Average earnings for fruit and vegetable workers were higher in 1957, the weekly pay-cheque increasing to $40.56 during the current survey, in comparison with $39.36 shown for the average week in 1956. Reported working-hours during the survey week averaged 41.46 in 1957, representing a shorter week in this industry than was experienced in 1956, when the average was 42.61 hours.

A further increase was noted in average earnings for women employed in transportation occupations, the average weekly salary for 1957 rising to $40.54 in this group, up from $39.55 reported for the previous year. Little change was noted in working-time for transportation-workers, the average hours worked per week showing at 38.11 for the year under review, down slightly from the average of 38.19 hours recorded in 1956.

Employment totals tabulated in this section are inclusive of various occupations, such as theatre ushers, attendants of swimming-pools, sports centres, bowling-alleys, dance-halls, and workers in all such establishments providing a service to the public for which an admission charge is made. Due to the casual and part-time nature of such occupations, it should be noted that the weekly averages of earnings and hours of work as shown in the above table are representative only of a partial week, and should not be considered as full-time employment or comparable to other types of work. On the basis of a part-time week amounting to an average of 24.45 hours, the 1957 figure representing individual weekly earnings for females in this classification was $21.82, considerably below the 1956 figure of $24.86, when the average was higher, due to a somewhat longer work-week, amounting to 27.40 hours.

Where such employment occurs in medical offices, some difficulty in proper classification of this occupation may arise due to the employee sometimes being engaged in clerical duties in addition to personal service. For this reason the above data should be defined as a sampling where possible from the returns submitted, rather than an entire coverage of this type of work. Average weekly earnings for female workers in personal-service occupations gained slightly over the previous year, the 1957 average being computed at $48.53, a slight increase from $48.23 in this category during 1956. Average working-time was a little above the previous level, the 1957 average week showing at 35.15 hours, up from a low of 34.79 hours recorded for the week of the survey during the previous year.

In comparison with the 1956 summary, increases were general in 1957, with employment and earnings well ahead of previous figures. The average work-week was also somewhat shorter for most female workers in occupations covered by minimum- wage legislation, as set by the Board. The total payroll for the survey week in 1957 amounted to $3,073,795, representing wages and salaries paid to some 73,414 female staff employed, compared with a payroll of $2,792,541 for the 70,299 women employees shown on the returns during a similar week in 1956. A new high in average weekly earnings was apparent in the current figure representing the per capita weekly wage for female workers in all occupations included by the survey, the 1957 average being computed at $41.87, the highest yet recorded in the summary data for this section of the Report. During 1957 the basic range of weekly salaries established by Minimum Wage Orders for female workers was from a low of $17.60 to a high of $33 in one instance. As the 1957 average figure (mentioned above as representing weekly earnings for all occupations under survey) was recorded at $41.87, it is evident that the actual earnings of female workers in British Columbia continue at a much higher level than the legal minima set by the Board. A further decline in the average work-week was apparent in the summary of hours worked by all female employees listed in the survey, the 1957 figure decreasing to an average 36.53 hours for the period of the survey, the lowest figure yet recorded for hours of work in the summary table. The 73,414 female workers reported in the summary for 1957 are inclusive only of those workers in occupations and industries subject to minimum-wage legislation as set by the Board, and the totals therefore do not include farm labour, fruit-pickers, or domestic servants, these occupations being exempt from the provisions of the " Female Minimum Wage Act." Bank employees and Federal workers are also excluded from coverage under the Provincial legislation.

Average weekly earnings in each occupational classification of female workers for 1957 are shown in the above table, in relation to the established legal minimum rate in effect during that year. A percentage column also shows the extent by which the 1957 actual earnings exceed the basic minimum in each case. With reference to the average earnings for all occupations within the coverage of the 1957 survey, it is worthy of note that the actual figure of $41.87 as shown in the summary was 137.9 per cent above the lowest legal minimum then in effect. Statistical Summary Covering Hospital-workers (Female) The operation and maintenance of British Columbia's hospitals and institutions continues to provide an abundant source of vocational opportunities for female workers. In addition to regular staff requirements with respect to professional help, these establishments must also employ large numbers of workers in various supplementary occupations, many of which by the very nature of the work itself are most suited to female employment. The progressive development of health and welfare services in keeping with our growing population and the need for additional facilities, space, and accommodation in hospitals and institutions have created new jobs and increased employment opportunities for women in this line of endeavour. I. F 56 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR Subsequent to the annual survey of women in industry and business, an inquiry was completed relating to the employment, hours of work, and weekly earnings of female workers on hospital payrolls, the returns requesting information based on a week of peak employment during 1957, and coverage of the survey extending to public and private hospitals, nursing and rest homes, solariums, homes for the aged and infirm, and like institutions. A summary of the occupational classifications resulting from this survey is shown in the following table, together with payroll information relating to employment totals, earnings, and hours of work for each individual group. Although nursing staffs are not included in the inquiry, all other female workers were classified where possible from the returns, and are shown according to the nature of their work:— Occupational Classification Number Employed Total Weekly Earnings Average Weekly Earnings Average Weekly Hours Laundry Housekeeping and catering- Office Hairdressing Telephone and telegraph- Manufacturing- Personal service Transportation Technicians, X-ray- Technicians, laboratory Technicians, miscellaneous- Technicians' helpers— _ Pharmacists .

Employment in hospital occupations showed a marked increase for female workers in 1957, the survey showing a total of 6,306 women employed in all classifications (exclusive of nursing staff), as compared with 5,895 reported during the previous year. With the increase in employment, some reduction in working-time was apparent, although average earnings were generally higher than in 1956, due to increased wage rates in some classifications. While the greatest single employment group continues to appear in housekeeping and catering occupations, employment in this classification and also in the laundry section was a little below the high level of the previous year. Earnings for laundry-workers, however, increased to an average of $35.88 per week in 1957, up from $33.44 reported in 1956, while the average for housekeeping and catering occupations was $34.51, a little below the previous year's high, as a result of shorter working-time apparent in this section. Office and clerical occupations showed a considerable increase during 1957, the hospital returns reporting a total of 945 women in this category, up from 826 shown for the previous year. Average weekly earnings for female office-workers climbed to $46.39, as compared with $42.75 weekly in 1956, while the working-hours in this section remained almost at the level previously noted. One institution reported a female worker in the hairdressing occupation, this employee being employed at $62 for a 40- hour week, and unchanged from the previous year. An increase was again noted in switchboard occupations relating to the telephone and telegraph classification, a total of 102 women being reported in this type of work, increased from ninety-three shown in BOARD OF INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS F 57 1956. With slightly longer hours in this section, average weekly earnings for switchboard operators were computed at $43.83, up from $43.13 recorded during the previous survey. Little change was apparent in a small group of female employees engaged in manufacturing occupations, the working-hours in this section remaining the same as in 1956, while average earnings increased a fraction to $38.58 per week, from $38.44 previously noted. One female worker employed in transportation work for the hospitals was reported as earning $46 for a 40-hour week. In actual occupations closely related to the work of hospitalization, separate tabulations were completed where possible from the reports, and are noted in the following text. Personal-service workers in a small group of various specialized occupations averaged $53.64 per week in 1957, compared with earnings of $42.09 weekly in 1956. The number of technicians shown in most hospital returns again increased considerably over the previous year, the total reported in all departments increasing to 278, from 260 previously reported. Of this number, ninety-eight were shown as X-ray technicians, with average weekly earnings of $62.66 for the week under review, compared with $55.86 weekly in this department during 1956. Laboratory technicians increased in number, but average earnings in this group were a fraction below the high of 1956, showing at $53.89 weekly, compared with $54.21 previously recorded. Technicians comprising a small group of twenty-two workers in miscellaneous specialized departments were shown as averaging $45.73 per week, while technicians' helpers were earning an average of $37.64 weekly during the same period. A small sampling of five women employed in pharmacy work were reported as averaging $63 each for the week of the survey. A total of forty-five dieticians were reported in the returns, the average weekly figure for earnings in this occupation being computed at $59.73 in 1957, a little below the high of $60.68 for this group in 1956, due to shorter average working-time. Average weekly hours in this section were computed at 37.3 in 1957, down from 39.0 hours previously reported. Separate classification in the case of therapy-workers was difficult from the returns, as many workers in this category are included in the composite personal-service group mentioned elsewhere in the text. A sampling of eight physiotherapists, however, showed average earnings for this occupation almost at the level of the previous year, the average figure being recorded at $58.38, a fraction down from the $58.45 computed for this group during 1956, although a considerable drop was also noted in the average working-time during the week of the survey in 1957. Occupational therapists earned an average of $53 weekly during the period under review, a considerable increase from the average of $47.25 noted for this small group in 1956, although a corresponding increase was also apparent in the average work-week for this section. Second largest employment group in hospital work continues to be the nurses' aides, the number employed under this heading increasing to 1,625 in 1957, up from a total of 1,265 shown during the previous year. The increase in employment was effective in reducing the average work-week for this occupation, although wages continued higher. Compared with the 1956 figure of $34.52, average weekly earnings for nurses' aides increased to $37.16 in 1957, to set a new high for this group. Average working-time for nurses' aides during the survey week in 1957 was 36.7 hours, a further slight decrease from the figure of 37.7 hours computed in 1956 and 39.1 hours noted for 1955. Average individual weekly earnings for the 6,306 female employees in all hospital occupations during 1957 increased to $38.75, up from an average figure of $37.28 recorded in 1956, when total coverage was 5,895 workers. The average work-week for all hospital-workers in 1957 was computed at 36.8 hours, representing a further decrease in working-time from the figure of 37.3 hours noted as the average for a similar week in 1956. F 58 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR Statistics for Male Employees Several of the industrial tables in this Report are of a composite nature, embracing many industrial classifications under one common heading, such as "Construction," " Lumber Industries," etc. A further breakdown of such composite figures is sometimes necessary in order to examine separately some of the more important sections of labour, with specific reference to the male wage-earner group in various trades and industries, and in such a way that a comparison may be made from year to year regarding totals employed, average earnings, and hours of work. The tables which follow give a comparative yearly summary for each of the industrial classifications indicated, based on payroll information reported during a representative week of peak employment.

Department cars travelled 165,856 miles in connection with the administration of the legislation. As certain employees exercised their civil rights under the Male and Female Minimum Wage Acts through the Courts without coming to the Department, it may be presumed that the amount of money paid to employees as a result of legislation administered by this Department is considerably in excess of that recorded in the following table:— Comparison of Investigations and Wage Adjustments, 1957 and 1958 Number of investigations Number of Industrial Relations Officers1 " Male Minimum Wage Act "— Firms involved Employees affected Arrears paid " Female Minimum Wage Act "— Firms involved Employees affected Arrears paid " Annual Holidays Act"— Firms involved Employees affected Arrears paid 1957 20,186 24 158 560 $26,628.85 48 151 $2,933.92 541 1,221 $22,033.20 1958 27,108 25 124 443 $17,797.87 47 151 $3,191.03 892 2,622 $61,575.43 Total adjustments $51,595,972 $82,564.332 1 Average. 2 In addition to the adjustments made under the Minimum Wage and Holidays Acts, 681 firms paid 1,062 employees $79,496.49 under the provisions of the " Semi-monthly Payment of Wages Act." Total adjustments for 1958 were therefore $162,060.82. Total adjustments for 1957 were $123,185.65. 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 1958 follows:— Court Cases for the Year 1958 Name of Act Number of Employers Charges Convictions Charges Dismissed or Withdrawn " Annual Holidays Act " " Control of Employment of Children Act ".

Campbell was appointed to the Board, replacing Mr. D. J. Baldwin, who had retired for personal reasons. Mr. Baldwin's broad experience as Chairman of the Labour Relations Board (British Columbia) under the " Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act" had been an invaluable asset, and the Board was therefore most fortunate to have as a replacement Mr. Campbell, whose years of experience in executive positions in the field of industrial relations well qualified him for the appointment. 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 1958 in the administration of the various labour laws. We have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servants, W. H. Sands, Chairman. Fraudena Eaton. G. A. Little. H. J. Young. C. Murdoch. J P. Baskin. E. Campbell.

Sir,—I have the honour to present the annual report of the Labour Relations Branch for the year ended December 31st, 1958. The Labour Relations Board met during the year on fifty-one occasions, authorized the issuance of 522 certificates, and rejected 180 applications for certification. Thirty- three applications were withdrawn. The Board entertained fifty-eight applications for decertification; twenty-five were rejected and thirty-three authorized. Administrative personnel conducted thirty-two representation votes. The Board granted applicants permission to prosecute upon thirty-eight occasions. There were 374 disputes referred to Conciliation Officers during the year. Forty- two cases, unterminated on December 31st, 1957, were carried over from the preceding year. LABOUR RELATIONS BRANCH F 63 Settlements by Conciliation Officers Of these, Conciliation Officers settled 161, and 151 cases were referred to Conciliation Boards. In fourteen cases the application for the appointment of a Conciliation Officer was withdrawn or the appointment cancelled, and in forty-nine cases Conciliation Officers did not recommend Conciliation Boards. There were forty-one cases unter- minated at the year's end. In accordance with the provisions of the " Labour Relations Act," chairmen were named by the Minister for ninety-seven Conciliation Boards. The nominees of the disputant parties selected chairmen on thirty-five occasions. Of the 151 cases referred to Conciliation Boards, 129 Boards were appointed as the result of the recommendations of Conciliation Officers, and three Boards were appointed without prior reference to Conciliation Officers. In nine instances the dispute was settled before the Board was appointed, two applications were withdrawn, and in three instances the proceedings were terminated by the parties. In the remaining eight cases, Boards had been recommended but not appointed at December 31st, 1958. Administrative personnel conducted 369 strike votes. Arbitration Boards On the joint application of both parties, in cases where grievance procedure under collective agreements had been invoked, chairmen were named to thirty Arbitration Boards. Various tables descriptive of the work of the Branch follow. B. H. E. Goult, Chief Executive Officer, Labour Relations Branch.

The term " dispute " refers to either strike or lockout. The figures shown are inclusive of all industrial disputes which have come to the attention of the Department. Methods taken to procure this information preclude the possibility of serious omission, but revisions may sometimes be made in the light of later information. Estimates of time-loss are computed by multiplying the number of days a stoppage lasts by the number of employees directly affected and not replaced. Summaries include only the record of time lost by workers directly involved. Disputes are listed by industrial classifications and in the order of their date of commencement.

Legal Proceedings Involving the Labour Relations Board Traders' Service Limited vs. Labour Relations Board (Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union, No. 580) On November 6th, 1957, the Labour Relations Board certified the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union, No. 580, for employees employed in the distributing warehouse at 343 Railway Street, Vancouver, by Traders' Service Limited. Application was made by the company for a writ of certiorari to set aside the Order of the Board and the certificate of bargaining authority issued pursuant thereto. The applicant claimed, inter alia, that the Board had declined jurisdiction in that it failed to give all interested parties adequate chance to present evidence and make representation. The case came on for hearing before Mr. Justice Mclnnes of the Supreme Court of British Columbia, who found for the applicant and set the Order of the Board aside. An appeal by the Board to the Court of Appeal was dismissed. The Board appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada. Judgment of the Court was rendered by the Honourable Mr. Justice Judson. Mr. Justice Rand and Mr. Justice Abbott concurred and Mr. Justice Cartwright and Mr. Justice Locke dissented. LABOUR RELATIONS BRANCH F 69 The Court found that there was " no departure by the Board from the complete fulfilment of its statutory duty . . . the respondent . . . had ample opportunity to present evidence and make any representations that it wished." The appeal was allowed with costs throughout. Applications to Prosecute The Board considered applications for permission to prosecute forty-one charges. It granted thirty-eight and rejected three. Annual Survey of Organized Labour Certain information is required annually from associations of industrial workers or trade-unions pursuant to the provisions of section 5 (a) of the " Department of Labour Act." This return requires the name and address of the organization, its affiliation (if any), and its total paid-up membership, in this instance, to January 1st, 1958. Members over three months in arrears are not included. The inclusion of the name of any organization in the listing " Organizations of Employees (Labour Organizations) " does not necessarily constitute its recognition as a trade-union within the meaning of the " Labour Relations Act." The survey of organized labour in British Columbia was again conducted in cooperation with the Federal Department of Labour. The results of that survey are summarized in following table. Labour Membership Gains Organized labour membership expressed as a percentage of the total paid workers in the British Columbia labour force now stands at 60.93 per cent, up 5.75 percentage points from last year. The chart shows the distribution of organized labour membership by major industrial groups, each local having been classified into the group in which the majority of its members are employed. It indicates those industrial fields which have the greatest number of union members. It does not, however, show which groups are most highly organized, as comparable total employment data are not available for the various categories. Services Group Retains Highest Membership The industrial distribution of total organized labour membership shows little basic change from the previous year. The Services group (public and personal) again retained the leadership of all groups with its share of membership. Public Services, consisting largely of government and municipal employees, is the largest single item, with 23.6 per cent of the total membership. The Wood and Wood Products group is next in importance to Services and accounts for approximately 15 per cent of the total membership. The larger organizations in the group are the International Woodworkers of America, the International Brotherhood of Paper Makers, and the International Brotherhood of Pulp, Sulphite and Paper Makers. Third in size is the Foods group, followed closely by Construction. Large unions represented in these divisions are the Packinghouse Workers and Carpenters and Joiners respectively. The Transportation group is made up of two categories, one of which is the Railway Transportation group, which includes three large independent railway unions in the running trades and the large membership of the Canadian Brotherhood of Railway Employees and Other Transport Workers. The other group consists of all trades and occupations connected with transportation other than railway. It includes air services, seamen, longshoremen, teamsters, chauffeurs, and warehousemen. The Metals group contains such unions as the International Association of Machinists and the Shipyard General Workers Federation.

It shows the post-office addresses of those who have furnished the Bureau of Economics and Statistics with the required data. Names and addresses of officers have been revised to the date of publication in all cases where such information was submitted. Organizations which have come into existence subsequent to January 1st, 1958, are not included in the list, but will be shown in the next publication. Each year the Bureau of Economics and Statistics, in conjunction with the Labour Relations Branch, Department of Labour, compiles a listing of employer organizations in British Columbia which have for one of their purposes the regulation of relations between employers and employees. Organizations reporting this year total fifty-five. The list of employer organizations follows that of the labour organizations.

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

A difference in the rate of pay between a female and a male employee based on any factor other than sex is not a violation of the Act.

F 92 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR "Fair Employment Practices Act" This Act is designed to prevent discrimination in regard to employment and membership in trade-unions by reason of race, religion, colour, nationality, ancestry, or place of origin. The use or circulation of application for employment forms or advertisements in connection with employment which express directly or indirectly any limitation or preference as to the race, etc., of any person is prohibited, unless the preference or limitation is based upon a bona fide occupational qualification. The principle underlying section 5 of the Act is that a person's race, religion, colour, nationality, ancestry, or place of origin rarely affect his work performance and normally should not be the subject for employment inquiries which he is expected or required to answer. Reduced to its minima terms, the " application for employment" form would only show the individual merits and qualifications of prospective employees with regard to the jobs to be filled. The Act does not apply to an employer who employs less than five employees, or to any exclusively charitable, philanthropic, educational, fraternal, religious, or social organization that is not operated for profit, or to any organization that is operated primarily to foster the welfare of a religious or racial group and is not operated for profit. Institutions operating under the provisions of the " Public Schools Act" are, however, subject to the legislation. During 1958 five complaints under section 5 of the Act regarding employment applications and advertisements were investigated and processed, all of which were satisfactorily settled with the assistance of an Industrial Relations Officer. No complaint was received alleging that any person had been discriminated against in regard to employment contrary to section 3 of the Act. Neither was any complaint received under section 4 regarding membership in a trade-union. In addition to processing specific complaints, advice was given to employers who voluntarily requested consideration of their application for employment forms to> satisfy them that the forms contained no discriminatory questions. The nature of the legislation is such that persuasion and education are more desirable than compulsion. It is therefore gratifying to record the co-operation that employers, newspapers, and individuals have extended to officials of this Department in order to correct unintentional violations of the Act. REPORT OF FACTORIES INSPECTION BRANCH F 93 Report 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 1958. Factories In 1958, while the number of new factories decreased, a greater number of major plants were built. This was observed in the pulp and paper industry and refineries. Another noticeable trend was the increase in the number of industrial estates, all of which are of considerable size for this Province. They are being developed mostly for light and medium industries, which would indicate an expected increase in the construction of these factories to offset the present volume of major plant construction. Industry is increasingly becoming aware of the service rendered by the Factories Branch in the examination of plans prior to construction. In view of the better quality of buildings being erected for industrialists, they are vitally interested in knowing that the factory is going to meet with health requirements for its acceptance at the design stage rather than after occupancy. To keep industry informed of our requirements before the construction period, we have developed and distributed for their guidance a booklet called "Rules Relating to Acceptable Standards in Factory Construction and Industrial Health." It deals with basic items that are common to most factories, in reference to the physical features of factory design that affect the working conditions of the occupants. These factory standards have been well received by industrial firms, architects, and engineers, thus giving a great deal of satisfaction to this Branch A considerable amount of engineering data has been correlated to the standards, and plates have been made consolidating pertinent data and basic designs for the use of those in the air-conditioning field. Definite progress has been made in the past year in the factory-construction field as a result of the use of these standards. Industrial Homework Permits authorizing industrial homework to be performed in the home showed a slight increase during the year. Elevators The elevator field continues to expand yearly, new installations providing the bulk of this expansion. While several group installations have been made, the majority of the elevators have been single units in apartment buildings. These apartments are located in many areas, with the West End of Vancouver predominating; new apartments, however, have also appeared in the Kerrisdale and Kitsilano districts, also in New Westminster and Victoria, thus providing a wide area to be covered in initial safety tests, and then consolidating these new installations into our regular inspection groups. The volume of work F 94 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR in examination of plans, compiling records, performing initial safety tests, and accepting these new installations increases year by year. During the year 1958 the Department was authorized to inspect and apply Provincial regulations to all elevator equipment under the jurisdiction of the Federal Department of Public Works and the Department of Veterans' Affairs. While the majority of this equipment was inspected before the end of the year, it was not possible to complete the whole of this group of inspections with our present staff. Nothing of a spectacular nature has appeared in new design during the past year; the type of elevator being installed in nearly all cases leans toward the operatorless type, and with all the modern safety devices available—roller guides, self-levelling, power- operated doors, and smooth operation—this equipment proves to be both a time and money saver to the owners. Toward the end of the year, a shaft failure, due to metal fatigue, caused an automatic elevator to drop in a hospital in an outlying district; however, all the safety devices on this elevator operated as required and no person was injured. We are again proud to report that no fatal or serious accident pertaining to elevator equipment under our jurisdiction was recorded during the past year.

Also, we wish to thank all officials and employees connected with industry for their co-operation during the past year. Respectfully submitted. R. M. Purdie, Chief Inspector of Factories.

Sir,—I am pleased to submit this report of the Apprenticeship and Tradesmen's Qualification Branch for the year ended December 31st, 1958. Apprentices in Training On December 31st, 1958, the number of indentured apprentices registered with the Branch was 2,779, and the number of pre-apprenticeship students being trained through the auspices of the Department of Labour was 231. There were 726 new apprenticeship contracts registered, and 464 apprentices completed training during the year.

F 98 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR Pre-apprenticeship Training Pre-apprenticeship training classes had first been established in the previous year (1957). One hundred and seventeen students who had started training in 1957 completed their pre-apprenticeship school training in 1958. Two hundred and thirty-one new trainees were in training in these classes at December 31st, 1958, in the trades of automotive mechanic, boat-building, carpentry, electronics, electrical work, lathing, machinist, plastering, plumbing, sheet-metal work, and structural-steel erection. Apprenticeship Technical Training Technical training in schools was conducted to supplement the training supplied on the job by employers. Two hundred and fifty-eight separate evening classes provided a total of 155,616 student-hours. Daytime class instruction provided 309.770 student- hours of instruction to 1,121 apprenticeship students. Of these, 773 were indentured apprentices and 348 were pre-apprenticeship trainees. Evening classes obviously can only be operated in centres where a substantial number of apprentices are permanently located, and it is for this reason that apprenticeship school facilities exist mainly in the southern section of the Province. The main training load is in Vancouver and Victoria, and there are also special apprenticeship evening classes in Kitimat and Trail. Generally, each apprentice assigned to an evening class attends school for an average of six hours a week for seven months during the fall and winter season. The classes are held outside of working-hours and so do not interfere with the employment of the apprentice. Daytime training classes are operated for several categories of students. Some trades do not lend themselves to short periods of evening training, and so daytime classes are conducted for continuous periods of from four to eight weeks. In this category are the trades of bricklaying, lathing, painting, plastering, and steel erection work. Apprentices from various parts of the Province were brought to Vancouver for training in these trades. Daytime classes were also conducted in Vancouver and Nanaimo for apprentices from areas in which, because of the small number of apprentices, evening classes could not be established. These apprentices were brought to the training centre to receive training in trade theory and practice. In this way they received the same training advantages as the apprentices from the larger centres. Special daytime school training was also made available to indentured apprentices who became unemployed because of business conditions and labour disputes. In some cases individual apprentices, when unemployed, were accommodated in existing apprenticeship classes. In other instances new classes were set up to provide training for apprentices who became idle because of work stoppage resulting from a labour dispute. This flexible programme enabled the apprentice to improve his trade knowledge while idle. School Training Facilities As in the past, the apprenticeship technical training classes were conducted for the Department of Labour by various School Boards and the Department of Education. In Kitimat, Trail, Vancouver, and Victoria the local School Boards operated special apprentice-training classes, while the Department of Education operated special classes in Nanaimo and Vancouver. All of this training was paid for by the Department of Labour. The apprenticeship school programme has continued to expand each year until it has reached a size that has caused the Government to start building a new trade-school in Burnaby. Construction of buildings at the Burnaby site proceeded during 1958 and, APPRENTICESHIP AND TRADESMEN'S QUALIFICATION BRANCH F 99 pending completion of the permanent buildings, classes were again held in quarters rented from the Pacific National Exhibition Board. These temporary quarters were first obtained in 1955, and since then, until 1958, apprenticeship classes were operated there for the Department of Labour by the Vancouver School Board. In anticipation of moving those classes to the new trade-school in Burnaby, which will be administered by the Department of Education, the Exhibition Park classes were transferred from the administration of the Vancouver School Board to that of the Department of Education. Since April 1st, 1958, the Department of Labour has been reimbursing the Department of Education for the operation of apprenticeship classes there. Qualification of Tradesmen Voluntary examination of refrigeration tradesmen resulted in six men being issued certificates of proficiency. The trade advisory committee for the radio and television trade devoted a great deal of effort toward producing a satisfactory examination for men in that field. The progress that has been made indicates that voluntary examinations will be available very soon. Conclusion Mr. Edmund L. Allen, who had been Director of Apprenticeship since 1951, transferred to the Department of Education during the year. In his new capacity, Mr. Allen continues to be associated with our Department through the training classes operated at the Burnaby trade school. Mr. Hamilton Crisford, who was the first Director of Apprenticeship, and who, on retirement, was appointed as Chairman of the Provincial Apprenticeship Committee, resigned from the Committee because of protracted illness and will be missed by many who have known him since our apprenticeship programme began. Mr. C. E. Gerhart was appointed to replace Mr. Crisford as Chairman of the Committee. Mr. Gerhart has been active in public and government affairs for many years, and I consider that we are fortunate in obtaining his services. Finally, I wish to report that trade-unions, employers, local School Boards, and officials of the Department of Education have shown fine co-operation in our activities during the year. Respectfully submitted. Victor S. Hurrell, Director of Apprenticeship.

Changes in administrative officers were made during the year, and Mrs. Rex Eaton is now the only one of the original administrative officers still serving. Mr. Hamilton Crisford, one of the original administrative officers, resigned during the year because of a protracted illness. His wisdom and judgment, which had been useful throughout the years, will be missed, and many people in the Province will remember the courteous manner in which he dealt with them. Mr. C. E. Gerhart was appointed to take the place of Mr. Crisford. The wide extent of public and government service which Mr. Gerhart has experienced has now been made available to the Department of Labour in connection with trade-schools regulation work.

It is worthy of note that the general public has become increasingly aware of the fact that the Government requires the registration of correspondence and practical courses offered in the Province. The number of inquiries regarding schools and courses and the volume of correspondence in this connection has become large. The Better Business Bureau has done much to inform inquirers about the function of our administration, and a great many persons have been referred to the office for information. In conclusion, it should be reported that very few complaints were received concerning schools registered under the " Trade-schools Regulation Act " and that the complaints were satisfactorily adjudicated.
