Ae rs ot Fond AA rh PORT PERRY, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JULY 13th, 1939 Lower Tariff and the Worker TARIFF. REDUCTION AND . "AU TOMOBILE IMP ORTS [NOTE These figures and facts - showing results of lowered auto tariffs are compiled by the auto workers who claim that lowbred tariff has ser- jously injured them financially.- Editor) Since - Tariff reductions, instituted by the present Federal Government, have come into effect, the number of imports of Automobiles, Trucks and Busses, has risen enormously. The tables noted below are based on figures provided by the Federa Ministry of Trade and Commerce, Automobile Statistics for Canada, 1938, and are authentic, Year Cars Imported Price 1933 1,098 $759,341.00 . 1934 1,088 1,348,789.00 1935 3,233 2,021,142.00 1936 9,903 7,765,315.00 1937 20,069 16,184,980.00 Figures for 1938 are not yet avail- able but indications lead us to believe = both -938 and 1939 will show a greal- Ler number of importations than 1937. Year Trucks Imported Price 1935 978 $ 789,609.00 1936 - 1,850 1,661,116.00| 1937 2,802 2,791,879.00 Buses Imported A 1935 14 76,770.00 1936 71 462,269.00 - 1937 181 156,035.00 Truck and bus figures for 1938 and 1939 are not yet available. Small Parts importations show a similar increase. A comparison of 1936 and 1937 shows an increase of $8,730,6 7 in imports in one year. 1936--$24,044,101, 1937--332,774 858 Engine imports increased by $695,- 380 in 1937 as compared with 1936. 1936--$5,045,453. 1937--85,730,833 " From these figures and General ~ Motors estimation' of 67 days of work per car, the following conclusions can be arrived at: Between the years of 1933 and 1938, Canadian Automobile Workers have lost 3,449,115 work days. Taking the sum-of $6.00 as an average day's pay this works out to 'the enormous sum of $20,640,690.00 loss to the Canadian Auto Workers. These figures are for Passenger Cars alone and do not take into ac- count the hours and wages lost to workers in the Truck and- Bus Divi- sions." CBr gat. We know that the Automobile In- dustry is one of the leading manu- facturing industries in Canada. It has advanced in recent years from twelfth to fourth place among the manufacturing industries of this coun- try and_is responsible for about one third of Canada's exports to other British Dominions. - ~ . The Dominion Bureau of Statistics shows, 12,933 people employed by 'automobile manufacturers and 6,840 employed by autmobile parts manu- facturers. Statistics for the years 1936 issued by the Automobile Chamber. of Com- merce record 27,671 people employed by automobile manufacturers 'and other manufacturing indutries stipply- ing parts and material to automobile manufacturers. } The Bureau of Statistics' figures leave out the majority of those en- gaged in producing tires, batteries, paint and varnish, carpets, uphols- tery and other textiles, electric wir- ing, insulation materials, packing materials, pig-iron, steel, copper, lead, zine, coal, carbon, electrodes, machin- ery, buildings, other goods and ser- which, although incorporated into automobiles or used in their pro- duction ave classed by the statisticians under headings other than "aute- mobile parts."
