NEW LUNCHROOM

ON THE JOB

TWO EXTERIOR VIEWS of the modern lunchroom constructed by M.B. & P.R. for

its crew at the Somass Division, Port Alberni. The Plant Committee, crew and officers
of Local 1-85 IWA, are highly appreciative of the Company’s policy of providing top
notch facilities for its employees in its various operations.

THESE INTERIOR views of the lunchroom show how bright and attractive such rooms
can be if a little thought is given to the comfort of the crew by employers.

SHINGLE WORKERS, members
of Local 1-85 1WA, are shown here
on the job at M.B. & P.R’s Shingle
Mill in Port Alberni. This job
when performed under the con-
tract system is perhaps the dirt-
jest and most dangerous in the
woodworking industry, 1—Brother
Faint placing a block in the car-
riage. 2—Brother Ewing clipping
shingles on the clipper board with
his oF hand while picking up
with his left hand the next shingle
to be put on the clipper board,
3— Brother Higgins packing
shingles. A series of pictures
would be necessary to show the
whole operation. 4—View of the
entire packing assembly line.
