Labor Backs Tory Policy at Trades Union Congress
At Margate the Trades Union Congress debated wage and trade policy amid a split left and right.

The Regina Leader-Post reports Alberta submits an alternate plan that withholds final approval and urges further study of a combined Alberta Saskatchewan scheme. It would dam the North Saskatchewan near Rocky Mountain House and divert water to the Clearwater and Red Deer rivers, then to Sylvan Lake for irrigation before reaching Thamping Lake in Saskatchewan. The plan argues for a comprehensive inquiry by the Prairie Provinces Water Board to determine best use of Sask River basin resources.
