WORK RESUMED
IN CANADIAN AIRCRAFT FACTORY. PLEDGE GIVEN BY WORKERS. (By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright) VANCOUVER, May 4. The Boeing aircraft plant resumed production today after a shut-down of six days. The workers gave a pledge that there would be no further stoppage during the regular work periods. Their union has asked for a Royal Commission to investigate production and the question of rest periods.
On April 28 this plant at Vancouver, employing 7800 workers, closed down when the employees insisted on taking 10 minutes’ rest periods. The company in a statement said it regretted the employees’ action, which left it no other choice, as the Federal authorities last week had warned that plants would be shut down immediately if the men insisted on taking rest periods. A union spokesman said the employees intended to take two 10-minute rest periods during each eight-hour shift.
