Labor candidate
is runner-up

Winnifred Henderson, run-
ner-up in the last general
municipal election in North
Vancouver, came close to
being elected in last week’s
byelection necessitated by the
death of Ald. Ken Ratcliff.

Mrs. Henderson polled 412
votes, just 105 votes behind
radio newsman Pat Burns.

Mrs. Henderson was_ en-
dorsed by the North Vancou-
ver _Labor Political Action
Committee and also by Van-
couver Labor Council,

She has been runner-up in
three contests and as labor’s
official candidate would prob-
ably have won the seat this
time had the labor vote not
been split.

COMBINES ACT ATTACK

UFAWU appeals to labor
to protect basic union rights

“The federal Combines In-
vestigation Act has been turn-
ed against the Canadian labor
movement in a_ precedent-
shattering action that would
strip organized fishermen of
the right to organize, bargain
collectively and strike if nec-
essary,” says. a front-page
article in the current issue of
The Fisherman, organ of the
United Fishermen and Allied
Workers Union. “If success-
ful, it would leave any union
open to charges under the
same legislation.

“A statement of evidence
issued last week by director
of investigations T. D. Mac-
Donald finds all price and
share agreements in the fish-
ing industry governing earn-

ings and working conditions
of B.C. fishermen in violation
of the Combines Act.

“MacDonald charges the
UFAWU, the Prince Rupert
Deep Sea Fishermen’s Union,
and the Native Brotherhood
of B.C. with acting ‘against
the public: interest’ and res-
tricting the supply of all main
species of raw fish through
‘price fixing’ arrangements.

“A special meeting of the
UFAWU_ general executive
board linked the Combines
action with Bill 43 in B.C.
and _ restrictive legislation in
Newfoundland and laid plans
to place the issue before the
Canadian and world labor
movements.

“The union will immediate-

ly issue a letter outlining
charges and what they m
to organized labor, 2 a
with a summary of the
ector’s charges.

“Tt will call on the ae of :
tanadian trade union m
ment for support in meat
the attempt to strip away
bargaining rights from
unionists in the fishing
dustry.

“It will urge organised la-
bor to forward their protests
to Prime> Minister John”
fenbaker, Labor Ministé
Michael Starr and Justice
Minister E. D. Fulton. ~

“In addition, the union
ask organized labor in” B.C. to
urge the, provincial §0
ment to” defend fishery
rights in the province.” |
