EMPLOYMENT OF ASIATICS
[BY CABLE —PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.] (Received June 16. 2.30 p.m.) OTTAWA, June 15. The report of the Commons Committee on industrial ioreign relations urges greater employment of Canadians on steamers operated by the Government or under Government subsidies. , It recommends that fifty per cent, of those employed on Canadian national ships as stewards or firemen, be Canadians.
Declaring the Canadian Australian line employs only eight Canadians in 510 of a crew, members of the committee recommend that the Line be requested “to afford Canadian seamen a reasonable degree of employment at the earliest convenience.” It urges that the Canadian Pacific .be obliged to use only Canadian seamen in deck services, on the CanadaOrient Line. The Canadian Pacific had protested that to replace Chinese with Whites on the Oriental liners would involve such extra cost as to make the operation financially impossible. Of 2033 men in the service, 265 are whites.
