Orillia Valley DEMANDS BY His firm stand in favor of railt way workers demands for wage in creases was voiced by Julian Hy Ferguson MC Collingwood MP for North Simcoe when he addressed meeting of Barrie district rail waymen at the Orange Hall Al landale Saturday afternoon Mr Ferguson told about 150 men and women that they had every right to strike to forcibly open the eyes of the people of Canada to the average wages being paid to the countrys railway workers He decried the situation in which good men and women had to strike when denied their right to live adequately The MP scored the government for not averting the strike He said the government knew of the ser iousness of the situation for 14 months but dont seem to know their ownminds He said something could have been accomplished by the govern ment in those months had it taken mere positive action directed to wards bringingthe unions and rail way management together for 1a settlement He said the average railway workers wage is about $1 anhOur How can man with arfamily live on $40 alweek and pay $40 rent he asked He certainly cant af ford tohave this wire or child 111 The cost of living is due to many factors but it is fact he said Most stores demand cash on the line and if railway workers are not paidadequately for their ser vices they arent able to pay the MP claimed He said he Was glad to see that the farmers are now receiving bet ter returns for their efforts that they could get enough for the necessities of lifewashing ma chines bathrooms electrification of farms etc These are not luxuries Canada is able to produce them not for the rich but for the working people who produce them He claimed that there is sta tistical department at Ottawa which which gathers information but doesnt use it He quoted the example of his paying $350 for small piece of brisket and contrasted this with the VOICES SUPPORT or WAGE lW Ilell principal for the ll llillcresl School the boards new coordinatini coin

schools ready for use by about Feb RAIL STRIKERS $40 per week wage This in land of plenty he commented To say that therailway work ers of Canada arent willing to agree to reasonable settlement is ridiculous he said He told the group he believed the railroaders have not received fair lreatihEnt dont like the editorials in many newspapers They are slur on the railroaders The news papers should have followed up their statements and said the rail way workers did not wish to hurt others You have selected men for yourdeaders who believe are of high grade and intelligent do believe the strike did not occur overnight he said and claimed the government should have taken steps to bring the parties to settlement cant conceive that they couldnt get them together He termed the railroaders the backbone of industry Their ac lion in seeking better conditions was not unreasonable considering the respdnsibility and essential character of their jobs as well as the cost of living He likened the governments at titude towards the impending strike to the British Empires blindness to apprdaching catas trophes The British Empirewas caught unprepared by the Kaiser and Hitler and nowris compara tively unprepared in the face of threat from Russia he claimed He Said hementioned this to point out that it was necessary for the railroaders tostrike to bring home forcibly to the public that action should have been taken to avert the walkout He hoped it would not be long before men who are supposed to be intelligent bring the strike to conclusion that would benefit the railroaders the railways and the people of Canada If not the government should quit taking the peoples money for job not done he said Pledging his support of an equit able solution Mr Ferguson said They will know Im there
