They plan to "weak sister" unions by ** . aging' them to join, either by mergers or working agreements with other unions in the same or similar industries. SMALL SPRING MERGER One such merger of separate | CIO unions was already in the| works before the AFL.CIO pact, | The 100,000-member Oil Workers | Union and the 85000-member | Chemical Workers Union plan tr complete a merger this spring and then tee off on new organizing campaigns in the chemical and: plastics industries. Similarly, the unce bitterly-rival- | AFL and CIO Textile Workers! unions held a preliminary merger meeting some months ago. Thus far there has been remark- ably little Qppesition from union leaders to the AFL-CIO merger agreement. The CIO executive board is expected to go through the formality of approval at a meeting here Thursday. The next step involves drawing up a constitution for the giant new federation and its ratification by separate AFL and CIO conven- tions, then by a joint convention, Leaders say all this will be ae- complished by autumn ! Several of the big independent unions, notably the brotherhoods of Railroad Trainmen and Firemen: Enginemen, have indicated inter est in joining the proposed new federation, JOHN G.

LOVELL ALDERMAN HIS WORSHIP MAYOR NORMAN DOWN One of Canada's Important Industrial Centres Proof of Oshawa's phenomenal growth in recent years is found in the remarkable record of building in the City. In 1952 building per- mits issued in Oshawa reached an alltime high up to this period of $9,889,326, far in excess of the building done in any city of comparable size in Canada. Included in this figure it is sig- nificant to note, there was only one large in- dustrial project, that of the new General Motors of Canada truck assembly plant which was listed in the engineers records at $3,750,- 000. Even without that major project, Oshe awa's 1952 building record was the highest up to that time. Oshawa's growth has been cumulative as shown by the following figures. 1948, 2,400,000; 1949 just over $3,000,000; 1950, 3,346,000; 1951, 4,526,839; 1952, 9,889,326; 1953, 17,230,874; 1954, 9,145, 686. We cite these figures to show that Osh- awa's progress the past few years has not been a "flash in the pan" but one of continued steady progress. * Oshawa has another enviable record to Its credit, one which reflects the prosperity and the fine business administration guiding its destiny, Oshawa stands highest of all the municipalities on Ontario in the collection of taxes. The percentage of current taxes collect- ed in 1952 was 98.88%. A truly remarkable record and the best in the province. In 1951, 99.7% of all taxes was collected in relation to that years levy. The previous three years show- ed a similar fine record being 99% in 1948; 98.7% in 1949; 99.1% in 1950. In 1953, 98.84 and 1954 98.4% Many factors poifit to a further continued expanse in the progress of the City, allied facilities have placed the City in a position where it has the equipment. (Water - Electric Power) to take care of the wants of a popu- lation of 85.000 people. 2 new large shopping centres are already due to start building to. gether with other very important projects which will help keep up the steady stream of progress so noticeable during the years mene tioned. Oshawa 'is more than keeping pace with the tremendous development of Canada. Oshawa is also in the fortunate position of having the benefit of the main line of the Canadian National Railways and the Canad. ian Pacific Railways passing through the southern portion of the city. It is further serve ed by Highway No. 2 which links Windsor, To. ronto and Montreal and Highway No. 401 (two lane) which links Oshawa and Toronto at the present time. Within the city limits is the Oshawa Aire port with full length run-way and a growing individual activity in conjunction. Oshawa is further favored by having one of the few natur- al harbors on Lake Ontario which will come into real importance after the completion of the St. Lawrence waterway development. To top the story of Oshawa's progress, It is recorded that 2,168 homes have been built in the past five years: 1950, 269; 1951, 417; 1952, 342; 1953, 657; 1954, 483. The present outlook suggests 1955 will see a brisk continu- ance of the building program. NORMAN DOWN, Mayor . ® Oshawa's Population Over 46,000 ® Facilities of C.N.R. and C.P.R.
