Stand Milder : By The Canadian Press Representatives of some 750,000 Canadian workers put labor's attitude toward Communism on record last week in two very different ways. In Toronto, the Canadian Congress of Labor man- handled its Red minority for five days running. It heard C.C.L. President A. R. Mosher tell the Red-led United Elec- trical Workers to change their tune or be "thrown out." It re-elected a strongly anti-Communist slate of officers. The Trades and Labor Congress® of Canada, holding its convention in Victoria, adopted a resolution "deploring" the actions of "some Communists" in the Labor move- ment. T.L.C. right-wingers ham- mered the document as a weak, ""milk-and-water" effort but it went Jthrough on a 308-t0-264 vote. Communism was at the core of every major issue before the con- gresses, each of which claims 360,- 000 members. But from the start it was the C.CL. which took the most decisive stands. Even before Mr. Mosher's presi- dential address on the first day of the Toronto meeting, the C.CL. threshed out the thorny Smelter problem. The International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers, said to be Communist-dominated, had been suspended by the C.CL. Ex- ecutive Council. The announced reason was the publication in the union newspaper of statements derogatory to C.C.L. officials; the basic reason: Communism, The convention heard an apology by John Clark of Chicago, Inter- national Smelter President. He ad- mitted the offensive story was false and malicious and asked re- instatement of his union. But C.C.L. officials contended a printed apol- ogy in the Smelter paper was necessary. The 800-odd delegates agreed and voted decisively to up- hold the suspension. The C.CL. went on from there to wham the Communists at every op- portunity. It pledged support of the International Woodworkers of Am- erica and condemned the Wood- workers Industrial Union, establish- ed recently in British Columbia by an I.W.A, break-away, group alleged to be Red. ' It promised paternal aid to the Textile Workers Union of America, another affiliate said to be fight- ing Communist infiltration and smash-up attempts. The C.CL. also re-endorsed the C.CF, Party and turned thumbs-down on U.EW. proposals to support "labor" and "labor-farmer" election candidates. HITS HIGH HEELS Toronto, Oct. 18 -- (CP) -- Dr. Robert Smith, 'Hamilton chiropo- dist, Sunda said that shoes with two-inch heels are ruining the feet of Canadian women.

J Bureau Says Rent $27.43 But Fails To Say Where By HAROLD MORRISON Canadian Press Staff Writer Ottawa, Oct. 18--(CP)--Mr, and Mrs. Average Home-Seeker: may find consolation in a government statistical finding that Mr. Average Canadian .pays only $2743 a month rent for his home. You'd have thought the way some prices are going these days that he might be paying a little more . . . The Dominion Bureau of Statis- tics, who obtained the rent figure from a survey of sample house- holders across the country last February, tells Mr. and Mrs. Aver- age Home-Seeker: "One-family detached dwellings had the lowest average rent at $24.27 and apartments and flats the highest at $30.37. For dwelling units in rows or terraces, the average rent was $26.09 and for two-family de- tached dwellings $26.28." Well, let's take a walk with Mr, and Mrs. Average Home-Seeker through the provinces. Perhaps we, too, can pick up a little home for around $27.43! 5 In Toronto a brief Canadian Press ey shows you can actually get a furnished house -- for around $90 a month. Sorry, but unfurnished . homes you can get for neither love hor money. Apartments? They're scarcer than hen's teeth, unless you have lots of spare cash. Newly-constructed three-room apartments are going for about $75 UP: four-room apart- ments and duplexes for about $100- up to $150! 'If you're a car dealer, you might advertise as one has during the week-end and say you're willing to pay a year's rent in advance or $1,000 for something to live in. So we leave Toronto, a little downhearted and hurry to that big town, Montreal. You're just in time, says The Canadian Press survey, to get a few apartments going fast . . . At $100! You get desperate, and place an advertisement in the news- paper. And then you see that others are also doing' the same and offer- ing $150 a month for an apartment of four or five rooms. Despondent? Then let's go down to the east coast--to Halifax. Yes, says Mr. Survey. Nice, comfortable homes are renting from $35 to $40 a month. But there are just none available. An apartment? None of that statistical $30.37 here. For "nothing special" you pay from $90 to $100 a month. Still dreaming of that $27.43-a- month home? Well, let's go to Cal- gary. Calgary always is a good town. The Canadian Press survey shows that old apartments are renting from $25 to $60 a month; new $40 to $100 four to five room houses from $30 to $80. Well, let's place an advertisement in the paper. All set? Here's the way one recent advertisement read: "Shame on us! We have com- mitted a grave social error! We have raised two childreh! Must we drown them? Must we shoot them? Turn them loose in the cold world? Or will you rent us a home?" Ontario Notes 10 D.C. Rise In Tourist Trade For 1948 Ottawa, Oct. 18--(CP)--All prov- inces except British Columbia re- ported an increase in tourist travel during 1948, it was disclosed today at the opening of the third Do- minion-Provincial tourist confer- ence. A convention report submitted by Dominion and Provincial depart- ments and transportation com- panies said it is apparent that 1948 will set a new record for the num- ber of tourists visiting Canada. The report did not include an estimate' of the yeda¥s number of tourists, but most of the provinces estimated that traffic had increased from one to about 12 per cent over British Columbia, however, re- ported a five-per-cent decrease in tourist trade. The disastrous floods which swept through parts of the province last May and June were blamed for the decrease. The Canadian Pacific and Cana- dian National Railways reported that they handled about the same fivolume of tourist traffic as in 1047. Railway officials said there were hree factors which had an 'adverse effect on the tourist traffic: 1. The widespread floods in British Columbia disrupted rail traffic for a considerable period and forced the cancellation of or- ganized tourist tours. 2. Forest fires in Northern On- tario and Northern Quebec dimin- ished the movement of anglers, Sant, s and fishers at a time such tra is usually at its height. 3. The threatened strike on. Ca- nadian railways in July "discour- aged and deterred an untold num- ada." ber of prospective tourist visitors from making holiday trips in Can- The federal government's travel bureau said that up to Sept. 30 it had received 249,150 inquiries as against 199,834 in the corresponding period of 1947. The Dominion Bureau of Statis- tics estimated that up to Aug. 31 some 4,550,443 cars entered Canada as against 4,039,074 a year ago, an increase of 12.7 per cent. Quebec estimated it will have a 12-per-cent increase over 1947. The number of tourists entering Quebec to date totalled 3,499,010. Ontario listed no figures but es- timated an increase'of 10 per cent over the 1947 tourist movement. Practically all the provinces said that efforts were made this year to improve highways used by tourists: Steps were taken to expand and improve tourist accommodation.
