America a 26-cent-an hour increase over two years The offer was presented to Industrial Inquiry Commissioner Mr Justice Craig Munroe who is conducting hearings into a dispute between the IWA and northern and southern Interior lumber operators The IWA is seeking wage parity with coastal workers an Interior increase of 50 cents an hour The latest management offer provides for an increase of 10 cents on Sept 1 1967 eight cents on May 1 1968 and a further eight cents on Jan 1 1969 Present rate is 226 an hour Speaking for the southern operators George Robson said there is no more justi justification � fication for wage parity with the coast than there is for the companies asking the IWA to accept parity with lower paid woodwork woodworkers � ers in Alberta The union has made settlements else where in Canada based on economic differ ences between the BC interior and the coast Mr Robson told commissioner Mr Justice F Craig Munroe In a brief on behalf of the northern operators R A Mahoney pointed out that only 25 per cent of the industrys northern lumber workers are directly involved in the dispute for parity Only about 1500 of the 7000 men engaged in the industry in the north are IWA members The briefs were in reply to a 140 page submission made by the union Wednesday in which the IVVA said savings on stumpage costs would more than compensate interior operators for a raise in employees pay WJ
