on’t YOU give a hand .

The U.S.A. is continuing
its efforts to mount an all-
out cold war offensive
against the people of Cuba.
A mountain of press releases,
articles, statements, etc., has
been let loose in a gigantic
propaganda build up to whip
up hatred against the island
republic.

On Wednesday, - September
19, Bill Galt wrote in the
Vancouver Sun:

“The United States Tues-
day began cracking the whip
at its allies and friends.

“One of President John
Kennedy’s top advisers called
on the West to show a little
—— respect for U.S. poli-
cies.”

This the

apparently set

‘ stage for the following report .

by Stewart Hensley, carried
in the Sun on Monday, Sep-
tember 24:

“State Secretary Dean
Rusk sought today to line up
America’s allies behind his

. campaign of cutting the flow
of strategic Communist goods
to Cuba.

Hensley then went on to

explain that Rusk had plan-:

ned a series of meetings with
government officials from
Norway, Britain ‘and other
Western countries” in an
attempt to put pressure on

shipping interests which were
hauling cargo to Cuba.

(In a nationally - televised
interview, Canadian Extern-
al Affairs Minister Howard
Green denied on Tuesday
that there was U.S. pressure
on Canada to cut its meagre

-trade with Cuba.)

On Wednesday, September
26, the Vancouver Province
carried a front page _ story-

of Panama, a 10-nation Cen-

Unions under attack

The BCFL statement said
the company posed a threat
not: only to organized labor
but also to small industry and
condemned the MacMillan-
Bloedel trend to compel
workers to put in overtime
and seek justification from
the Labor Relations Board.

The dispute at the Somass
Division in Port Alberni has
been brewing for some weeks.
During the week of August
20 Somass boom crews,
through their job steward,

ing the seniority provisions of
the Master Agreement.

Assurances were given the
boom crew that the situation
would be rectified by the fol-
lopwving Monday which the
management failed to do. The
boom crew waited in the
boom -shack for the manage-
ment to live up to its com-
mitment.

The boom men did not
walk off the job and all shifts
reported for work until a
company established picket
line of foremen at the mill
gate sent employees home.
The IWA local in a press re-
lease states that “‘employees
not presently at work on the
Somass boom and in the saw-
mill proper are at home be-
cause they were sent home
by the company or notified
by the company not to report
for ‘work.

The local has charged that
the responsibility rests with
the company to notify the
crews to report for work and
abide by the commitment
given to the boom crew con-
cerning seniority.

The.-attack on trade un-
ions throughout the province,
and the attempt of the em-
ployers to go to court to use
anti-labor Bill 43 as a big
stick to smash the unions has
aroused widespread protest
in the labor movement.
