"Wednesday, March 1, 1944 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE re OTTAWA NEWS LETTER Hearlening: prospects for full post- war employment throughout Canada were outlined to the Commons com- mittee on reconstruction and rehabil- itation by Hon. Ian Mackenzie, min- ister of pensions and national health. Quoting a report of Dr. G. M. Weir, department director of training, Mr. Mackenzie said a nation-wide survey appeared to indicate that there will be between l.OOO.uOO and 1,500,000 additional jobs availal>le for Canad- ians aftei' the war. Ccistruc'.ion, building and agriculture, ILf- report states, will afford demobilized men of the fanned forces the grreatest oppor- tunity for work. In addition to that Canada will need an estimated 50,- OOO professional men and women in- cluding 5,600 doctors, 8,000 dentists, 7,500 general nurses, 4,000 public health nurses and 6,400 teachers. The Weir report is based on the opinions of more than 50,000 people in Canada, many of them with spec- ialized knowledge in the various fields of post-war employment. This is the only one of many investiga- tions i)cinig conducted by the federal authorities to lay foundation for a comprehensive post-war program de- signed to maintain Canada's farm and industrial production at highest possible level and prevent reduction of present living standards. Limit Right to Strike One important war measure of the week which is expected to become permanent in many provinces, is the new federal labor code. This outlaws strikes and lockouts until compulsory measures for settlement of disputes between employers and employees. If a dispute arises while an agreement is in force, it must be settled by arbitration. One of the main purposes of the code is to ensure uninterrupted war production, tl also, however, lays the basis for settlement of all labor dif- ferences by conciliation and arbitra- tion and is expected to go a long way toward ending strikes caused by rows between different unions. Provinces Can Act Except for the national emergency of war, the provinces would have gole control of employer-employee re- lations, For that reason the laibor code only applies to war industries, "national" indlustries like railways, telegraphs,^ shipping and navigation and to public utilities. There is pro- vision, however, for the provinces, by their own legislation, to extend the codi.' to all industry. Ontario has already indicated that it intends to do this. Other provinces are expect- ed to take the same step. Thus the code may become applicaible to almost all industries and businesses and il individual provinces agree, which seems likely in most instances, may become permanent. Under the feder- al order alone it covers 2,500,000 of ('anada's workers. The code gives laboi the right to collective bar- gaining. , Gasoline rationing will remain vn- changed at the present level for an- other year from April 1, Hon. C. D. Howe, minister of munitions and sup- ply, informed parliament. He an^ nounced, however, that there will be more fuel oil available for home heating and suggested that owners who had changed their heating plants from oil to coal return to the use of tlieir oil furnaces.

What Does Inflatlciii ileaii t^ You and IVle ? Why, we couldn't buy enough food '^1 to keep our families healthy under inflation. For wages and salarie!> never catch up to prices when they start to soar! __ How would wc like to pay $1.10 a 1^ dozen for eggs? You say it ciiii't happen? Don't forget it's already happened right here in this Domin- ion, during the last war. And it will happen again . . . unless we're on our toes lo keep the cost of living down. I'vcry Canadian must face this challenge! It's our responsibility. Uul be of good heart. Living costs have risen LESS in Canada than anywhere else. Canada Icat/s the tvorUJ in the fight against inflation. HERE'S HOW IT'S DONE â€" ^^gg^ In 1941, Canada determined to ^^M control the cost of living, Price ^If ceilings were established on wages, rentals and commodities; subsidies were paid on essential foods; goods in short supply were rationed ... so that everyone could get their fair share at a price they could •flFord to pay! But control of prices is a two-way responsibility. It needs your support if it is tu continue working effectively. So make this Pledge Today ! I PROMISE tOK've my support to keeping the cosf of living down. I will buy only what I need â€" I will observe the ccil- ioK whether buying or selling guilds or services. I'll pay off old debts, save for the future, invest in Victory Bonds and War Savia{(s Certificates â€" and wilt support taxes which help lower (he cost of living.
