There was a proposal to set up a school to teach the returning soldiers the shingle technique (the skill to cut and pack shingles), so that the soldiers could replace the East Asian workers when they returned to Canada. P.3 The Chinese workers in the shingles industry announced on March 5 that they had gone on strike on March 1st to protest against the reduction of their salaries.
