EMPLOYMENT OF CANADIANS
RECOMMENDATIONS OF COMMITTEE (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copy right) OTTAWA, 15th June. The report of the House of Commons Committee on Industrial and Foreign Relations urges greater employment of Canadians on steamers operated by the Government or under Government subsidies, and recommends that 50 per cent, of those employed on Canadian national ships as stewards and firemen be Canadians, declaring that the CanadianAustralian line employs only eight Canadians in 510 crew members. The committee recommends that the line be requested “to afford Canadian seamen a reasonable degree of employment at its earliest convenience ” It urges that the Canadian-Pacific Line be obliged to use only Canadian seamen in deck services on the Cana-da-Orient Line. The Canadian-Paci-fic Line has protested that' to replace Chinese with whites on the Oriental liners would involve such extra cost as to make operation financially impossible. Of 2033 men in the service, 256 are whites.
