Bennett's Reform Program Faces Skepticism in Ottawa
Canadian labor grows skeptical as two months of parliament yield only an eight hour day or 48 hour week, an unemployment insurance act, and limited benefits for building workers. Promises to reform the system appear cabinet-insensitive and health concerns may force Bennett away. Financial interests push for a national government to curb postwar racketeering.

AFL Labor Demands Independent Talks with Auto Makers
The American Federation of Labor requests a government supervised conference with automobile manufacturers separate from the Automobile Labor Board. AFL leader William Green faces opposition from auto workers who favor the board, and a strike warning is issued if the conference is not arranged. Dillon says the move is modest and aims to defend workers’ right to have Green speak for the majority.
