suggestion for forwdrdthinking citizens 1me HINDIth imititiii Tho Barrie Chamber of Commerce has noted the union activity at the Barrie Works of CGE and there is one point 0Iiwliicli we think there should be furtherdiscussion This point is the union suggestion that wages in small town should equal those paid in thelarge industrial centres Let no one Say the Chambers attitude is either prolabor or biased towards the company Certainly we are agreed that GOOD labor union benefits large portion of our citizens and on the other hand the Chambers function includes en couraging new industries into the community Barrie and other small communities in Canada will be on the threshold of progressive expansion if the experiments now being made with decentralization of industry prove satisfac tory The settingup of plants outside an urban area present added costs to an industrial corporation one being additional cost Of transportation to bring in raw materials and to ship away finished goods To balance these costs the company properly expects to pay less in taxes and slightly lower scale of wages This balance means that the goods manufactured in small town can be sold to the public on par with those manufactured in large centre Unless this balance can be achieved how can we sell the smaller community to the industrialists Certainly they wont move out to the towns if it is going to cost them more in the long run This slightly lower scalerof wages is not an injustice to the worker in the smelLtown Tlactwages Euro different but so do many other factOrs vary The large industrial centres are overcrowded inconvenient and expensive in which to live In smaller community the worker lives closer to his work enjoys his home his garden place nearbyto swim and fish finds it easier to raise his family To top this he pays less for the fewer thls he has to buy He may take home slightly leSsI than his fellow worker in the city but he has more money left over at the end of the week We feel that each worker at CGE should consider these there Will be an aerobatic display by one of the new DCIIltVlIiiitlti mirth Dr McPhee reelected in Simcoe East this county again have three Progressive
