Canada wrestles labor strikes on coast and Great Lakes
Ottawa reports easing labor turmoil with government actions on British Columbia lumber and Great Lakes shipping. A 15 cent wage rise and 44 hour week were agreed after talks led by Chief Justice Gordon Aloan, while a Royal Navy veteran was appointed controller of lakes shipping. The CNA and labor department proposed a 8 hour day and other measures as seamen protests affected canal traffic. The Senate mining committee urged tax and policy changes to spur gold mining expansion amid shrinking ore margins. Prime Minister King returned to a London debate and signaled nonparticipation in another election.
