According to the speaker, the average Canadian family last year received slightly less than $4,000 in wages. The average production per family last year, he said was $7,000 INCOME BELOW $3000 Mr. Schroeder noted that the average income per family last year was $3,000 less than the average production per family. He added that worker in Canada and the United States own stock amounting to $750,000,000. But, he added, this amount of worker-owned stock is "'Com- paratively small" when one con- siders the DuPont family in the United States owns $400,000,000 worth of stock and the Mellon and Rockerfeller families each own $300,000,000 worth of stock The DuPont family share of General Motors profit last year was more than $200,000,000, Mr Schroeder said According to the speaker, the president of the Hiram Walker Distillery earned a salary: of $125,000 last year. That, he ad- ded, is more than the average worker will earn in a lifetime In addition, he said, fhe dis tillery president took up stock options worth $186,000, all of which are tax free because there is no Capital Gains Tax in Can ada. He will retire at age 465 with a $29,400-a-year pension Mr. Schroeder said In 1960 the same man, speaker charged, collected $36 noo in stock dividend the com- pany gave him UNFAIR TO WORKERS Pointing to the salaries earned by executives and comparing them to those earned by the 22 ON ROADS the Pointing to natural gas pipe| line profits, the speaker. said people who put very little into the company earned profits to- talling $300,000,000. But, he charged it is the wor- kers who pay for the money these people can steal legally under the present Canadian laws He said the workers pay for these profits because the com- panies can charge more than they should for natural gas.

Mr. Schroeder urged that these 66 of a thousand get to know the others as their bro- thers and sisters,' as if they are all fellow workers He said if all these people get together and put their shoul- ders to the wheel together, all the money and power of the executive means nothing.
