_ Labor solidarity greatest need, declares LPP May Day message TORONTO — Labor solidarity to lead the people to a better life “was never more sorely needed,” declares the Labor- Progressive party in its May Day message issued here this week. . Full text of the message reads: May Day is the international day of labor solidarity. It was born in 1886 in North America in the struggle for the 8-hour day. For us in Canada this year it means a renewed dedication to the cause of labor unity, May Day is a day of dedica- tion to the socialist ideal. Over a thousand million workers and farmers through- out the world are leading their nations to a new life of socialism and national inde- pendence. The idea of social- ism has seized the imagina- tion of the majority for many years. Socialism is the hope and shining promise of a just social system wherein the means of life belong to those who have created them — the workers and farmers. Canadian labor solidarity was never more sorely needed than now. The Tories have retained the government with an over- whelming majority of MPs. The election has not solved the problems of the workers. Labor’s political influence has been weakened by this Tory victory. Lack of unity — of united labor-farmer political action — permitted the Tory capitalist party to gain poli- tical control of parliament. Labor unity must be built. Unity of labor — for peace. The Soviet Union has stop- ped H-bomb tests. The West- ern states must stop them, also, This would hasten the achievement of what millions in all countries -want — pro- hibition of atomic bombs and the reduction of armaments. Labor must press the Diec- fenbaker government for posi- tive action, for a Summit meeting at once to reach agreements for world peace, for an independent Canadian foreign policy. Unity of labor — for new markets to provide jobs.

It would help to correct our one- sided trade dependence on the U.S. and strengthen Cana- dian independence. Labor must insist the Die- fenbaker -government changes present trade policies accord- ingly. : Unity of labor — for jobs, ‘for action against U.S. dump- ing, the U.S. veto of Canadian exports and U.S. control of our economy; for public works, : for expanding the home mar- ket through higher pay, ex- tended unemployment insur- ance benefits, higher old-age pensions and social security allowances. Labor must demand that John DiDefenbaker keeps his promise to “end unemploy- ment.” Unity of labor — for politi- ‘elections, eal action. Let Canadian labor, through the unions, the CCF and the LPP, prepare now to unite their ranks for political action — for coming provin- cial elections, for municipal right across the country. United Canadian labor — welded. by solidarity for these urgent necessities, and in al- liance with the farmers, can defeat the Tories in the next federal election, prevent the Liberals from making a come- back and lead to a Labor- Farmer government in Can- ada. Confidence in the workers’ ability to solve their prob- lems, and to lead Canada to a better life for its people — this is what May Day, 1958, means to us.

Over the past eight years the WCB had consistently ré- jected Zucco’s applications for a silicosis pension, claiming that he was a victim of tuber- culosis. Public attention was’ first drawn to the case two years ago when Mrs. Zucco staged a “sitdown strike” with her four, children at the WCB of- fices in Vancouver, and later the Legislative Buildings in Victoria. Zucco, a mine foreman, was ineligible for membership in Mine-Mill Union during his career as a miner, but the union took up Mrs. Zucco’s case and assisted: her in her time she toured the province, visiting mining centres and appealing to the mine and mill workers for support. As soon as the autopsy re- port was issued this week WCB spokesmen announced that Mrs. Zucco “very: likely” would be granted a pension.
