About two months ago the Labor Department at Ottawa sent forth a very self-complacent statement declaring that Canada in labor matters was in a peculiarly happy situation in comparison with other countries. Canada has enjoyed the benefit of definite labor policy since the war began. There is a War Industries Board, which deals with the labor problems in regard to the ammunition factories. There is a Labor Committee, presided over by a member of the Government and including some economists, labor men, and employers, which is studying labor problems and slowly trying to work out a solution.
