FAIR WAGE CLAUSE IN MUNITION CONTRACTS.


On the Orders of the Day:


LIB

William Erskine Knowles

Liberal

Mr. KNOWLES:

The Ottawa Citizen of March 7 contained an interview given by Mr. J. G. Watters, president of the Dominion Trades and Labour Congress, in regard to a fair wage clause? being inserted in munition contracts, and he is reported to have said:

The Premier had shown him part of a confidential cablegram which he had received from Lloyd George in which he positively asserted that he was opposed to the inserting of the fair wage clause in munition contracts issued by the Imperial Government to Canadian contractors.

I would ask the Prime Minister if Lloyd George, either by cablegram or otherwise, *did communicate with him to that effect, namely, positively asserting that he was opposed to inserting a fair wage clause in munition contracts issued by the Imperial Government to Canadian contractors.

Sir ROBERT BORDEN:

I have no recollection at the moment that such a message was received from Lloyd George. There has been some confidential correspondence in

regard to wage and labour conditions in Canada. I do not recollect a message in' the terms which my hon. friend has mentioned.
