Combines
Motion
Defeated
The government majority on June 24 voted down a motion by Frank Howard (C C F, Skeena) to have the statement of evidence prepared by Combines Branch director T. D. MacDonald in the Combines probe of the United Fishermen and Allied Workers Union tabled in the House of Commons.
Contending that it was the intention of parliament to have all proceedings and enquiries under the Combines Investigation Act "conducted in private unless otherwise specifically ordered," justice minister E. Davie Fulton opposed production of one of the statements until "a fully balanced report is available on the basis of a hearing of all parties, at which time the parties can advance their arguments and answers to the director's statement."
Howard pointed out that "part of the statement of evidence has already been reproduced in a particular publication, and in fairness to the parties concerned I want all of them made public."
Fulton conceded this was so, adding, "If they wish to publish the whole of it, it is within their power to do so." But he refused to consider tabling of this or the "three other statements of evidence" on the ground that it was contrary to the intention of parliament.
When Howard refused to withdraw his motion, it was defeated on a voice vote.

This   is   how   Vancouver, New Westminster and District Building Trades  Council,  in  a statement which has been blacked out by the daily press, answers charges made by Highways  Minister  P. A. Gaglardi and others implying that the strike declared by Ironworkers Local   97   endangers   the public j unless bridge workers return to I complete the south span to the i next pier.
The statement quotes verbatim from page 89 of the proceedings of the enquiry into the Second Narrows Bridge disaster to substantiate its argument that work on the bridge was shut down for six weeks prior to the disaster, yet only 24 hours after pickets were placed on the project last month the contractors were obtaining an
MP Expresses Concern Over Gwyther's Position
Editor, The Fisherman:
I must express the growing concern of many people over the continuing publicity being given to the writings of Mr. Val Gwyther, a Vancouver consulting engineer, in which the public is being asked to believe that it is possible to have both fish and power in the Fraser River basin.
The major argument of Mr. Gwyther is that artificial spawning can be employed to replace such natural spawning as would be destroyed by the building of power dams.
I regret to note that the latest issue of the UBC Alumni Chronicle has seen fit to give added publicity to the contentions of Mr. Gwyther, while at the same time ignoring the claims of such eminent engineers as Mr. C. H. Clay and Dr. P. A. Larkin, who is now director of the Institute of Fisheries at UBC.
Both of these eminent authorities claim that we still have a good deal of research to do before we have solved the fish-power problem, and they specifically point out that artificial propagation is not the answer.

It seems to me that such a highly regarded organisation as the International Pacific Salmon Commission should be completely satisfied that our fisheries are well protected before we pay too much attention to those who claim that natural spawning is no longer necessary. I also feel that research on these and other matters should not have to depend on grants that are paid by vested interests.
If the public is to have confidence in the findings of research people, then such research should be paid for by general taxation. He who pays the piper calls the tune—and this applies to the field of re-.  search as it does elsewhere.

"Is it the ultimate thought in the minds of the employers to settle their labor dispute by using the courts and press to gain public sympathy to break the legal strike of Ironworkers Local 97?" asks the Council in its statement.
