between a tiny office and fustrates'today the^^O-yeir^rowth ^ndjhow tonight are the major entertainment events of the Canadian Catholic Confed eration of Labor.And, at Sunday\u2019s inauguration of an $800,000 edifice on downtown Charest bqnievard, they\u2019ll speak of the ups-and-downs of the labor organ/kation established in 1921 at a convention of Roman Catholic workers\u2019 syndicates in Hull, Que.Since then, the body has expanded from a membership of little more than 10,000 to a 90,000-member force.Inauguration of the building will be followed by 39th annual convention Sept.15-20, when the labor body will present a formal statement of its principles for approval of delegates from its 450 affiliated syndicates.The C.C.C.L., basing its policies on the social doctrine of the Roman Catholic church, will describe in this code of principles its \u201cparticular conception of the worker\u201d\u2014that he is destined for other things than earning a living.| \u201cThat is why we drive at promotion of his professional, eco | nomic, social and moral interests,\u201d said one C.C.C.L.official.The 16-point statement is still secret but the C.C.C.L.feels its j principles will appeal \u201cto the Anglo-Saxon labor circles,\u201d as well j as to its membership, now almost j 100 per cent French-speaking.The C.C.C.L.claims it represents all asbestos and glove workers in Quebec, almost all aluminum workers, 90 per cent of the shoe workers, about 70 per cent of the textile workers and two thirds of the pulp and paper mill employees.For all its concern for the worker\u2019s life outside his hours at the plant, factory and mine, the C.C.C.L.remains a fighting labor force in collective agreement negotiations.The 4,2-rncnth strike ot asbestos workers in Quebec's Eastern Townships in 1949, resulted in general acceptance of escalator cost-of-living clauses in Quebec collective agreements.These usually provide for a 40-cent weekly bonus for each rise of one point in the national cost-of-living index.The building, housing the C.C.C.L.\u2019s general secretariat and offices for research and organization directors, is owned uy Quebec district syndicates.It was paid for mostly by contributions from syndicates throughout the province.It boasts eight bowling alleys, a workers\u2019 Caisse Populaire (credit union) and a $17,000 front door made of stainless steel.Half the building has been Three provincial cabinet ministers yesterday joined 13,-'\tYesterday's large crowd at the Sherbrooke Fair included thr ee members of the Provincial
