And to this app particularly in the vital and extremely sensitive area of labor relations Which makes me wonder having to rely mainly on the ress for information in the ield as most of us do how from time to time may have been unfair or unbalanced in la bor comment There is no question that both labor and management have rigidity which works against wholesome and progressive de velopment in the labor relations field lint how much has this been overpliiyid by the narrow out look in reporliri the press and how much as been ac tually built or maintained throuin fear by both sides of distorted impression being left by the press if they open up When for exam le you read about Joe Morris alking about general strike you get an im vression of declaiming llut when you see him in per son on

companies are entitled to an earnedrde letion allowance de ductible or miningtax pur poses For every 83 of eligible expenditures made afterJan WW SI of depletion Will be ob tained by the mine The processing allowance in British Columbias old mining tax system has been carried over unchanged And the tax on income derived from mining operations in the provmce calculated in accorance with federal incometax rules has been increased to I7 cent from per cent Wll effect froniJan 11976 in balance the tax changps appear to offer greater in centive for mining companies to search for and develop new
