Political assassinations must be expected, along with bombings that can be ‘attributed’ to the revolutionary left. “Greater militancy by reac- tionary elements in the Catholic Church must also be expected in their efforts to undermine the revolution.

Quoting from a Labor Day Statement by William Hamilton, president of the Employer’s Council in which he called on employers to ‘‘stand firm” and to ‘challenge’? labor’s demands, Rush saidit has been the aim of the Employer’s Council since it was formed to drive down workers’ living standards on the excuse that this was necessary to ‘‘make B.C. competitive in world markets.” “The only way labor can win against the combined attack of big business supported by the federal government is through united militant action. Unity is the key to victory for B.C. labor,”’ he said. Pointing to the rejection by woodworkers of the Hutcheon report, Rush said the proposals contained in the report would have’ left woodworkers far behind other workers at the end of a two-year agreement, and would have services will increasingly promote Chile-style ‘stability’ as the only remaining way to ‘save’ Portugal. “The separatist movement in the Azores, already gaining momentum among the U.S. residents of Azores origin, may be promoted by the CIA as a last resort for preserving U.S. military bases there. ‘Jn Angol the‘CIA is not standing idly by, where exceptional national resources must be kept in capitalist hands. The FNLA is likely being supported by the CIA through Zaire in order to divide the country and prevent MPLA hegemony.” [Agee concludes by recom- mending that the Portuguese government exercise “careful control” of ‘‘all entries and exists of Portugal by U.S. citizens.”’ But, ‘clearly the revolutionary process itself and the people’s support and participation through organs of popular power is the strongest defense.”’] Spanish film here The outstanding. Spanish documentary film, ‘““Dreams and Nightmares,” will be available for showings in B.C. until the end of October. The film, which is in color, and runs for one hour, depicts the Spanish Civil War and Spain today. : Filmed by In- ternational Brigade in Spain, the film won first prize at the Leipzig Film Festival and other awards.

He said woodworkers turned down the recommendations, despite tremendous pressure, because they knew the terms of- fered would have imposed great hardships on them and their families in face of rising prices. Answering the forest companies’ argument that higher wages threaten to price B.C. lumber out of the world’s markets, Rush recalled that in recent years the forest monopolies pushed prices of lumber up to a scandalous level, _pricing lumber out of some world markets and especially out of the housing market in Canada. “During that same period the forest companies made the biggest profits in their history, but the workers in the industry got little from it in terms of higher wages. “What did MacMillan Bloedel do with these huge profits,” he asked. “They used them to buy companies around the world. They invested hundreds of millions of dollars abroad from exploitation of B.C.’s forests and working people. Now that they are experiencing some economic difficulties this year they want the woodworkers to bail them out by accepting inferior wages and conditions and carry the burden of the present crisis. Woodworkers should tell them in no uncertain terms that they don’t intend to accept that, and that if it is necessary to cut back on their foreign investments to meet workers-demands they should do so,”’ said Rush. - Pointing to the crucial stage in forest negotiations Rush said the key to victory this year is for unity of the three major forest unions. “A united strategy which would direct the main fight against the employers and not against each other is the most crucial need now,”’ he said. Turning to rising food prices, which he said are higher in B.C. © than anywhere else in North America, Rush said the reason for that is monopoly control of the food industry here, and its domination ~ by Safeway and Super-valu stores, . who have eliminated any sem- blance of competition between themselves. He pointed to the large UNION TRAIN Vancouver based labor choir wants male and female voices. Also instrumentalists. For information phone attack on trade unions’ profits reported by the B.C. Sugar Refinery and Kelly Douglas to show that profits are the main reason for the higher prices here, and said that the food monopolies can meet the just wage demands of food workers, but here again they are being prodded by the Em- ployers’ Council to force a con- frontation with food workers. Nick Chernoff, secretary of the Courtenay and District Labor Council brought greetings to the picnic, and as a woodworker referred to the difficult situation faced by the unions in the forest industry. He urged unity of workers and stressed the need for _labor to back senior citizens and others on low incomes’ whose standard of living is being eroded by inflation. Ald.

But there is a growing number of people who think the world should be made safe for people, not just for profiteering giants: Society needs the Wall & Redekops just about as much as a- dog needs fleas. The main criticism to be made of rent controls is that they are not properly enforced. And it’s time the government recognized that private enterprise never will alleviate the housing shortage. This is a government responsibility which has been too long neglected.
