Vancouver: Trade Union Research Bureau, 1961. Pamphlet. 16 pages, illustrations. Staplebound wrappers. Very Good. A scathing critique of employer propaganda against wage increases, with a focus on John Clyne’s allegations that wages at the Canadian firm MacMillan, Bloedel & Powell were too high and responsible for rising lumber prices.
