Authors hit
postal rates

British Columbia writers fear
that new postal rates which go
into effect on April 1 will force
suspension of many publications
on which they depend for
acceptance of their work.

A resolution adopted by the
Vancouver Branch of the
Canadian Authors Association
charges the‘ the new Post Office
Act discrir, nates against non-
profit public itions by excluding
trade, professional, trade union,
credit union, co-op and church
publications from second class
mailing rights.

‘These discriminatory rates,”
it declares, ‘‘contradict the
findings and recommendations
for stimulating the growth and
influence of Canadian publishing
made by the 1961 Royal Com-
mission on Publications because
they will force a considerable
number of non-profit publica-
tions either to restrict
publication or close down.”’

It notes that many of the
publications affected are those
which encourage the work of
new writers, ‘‘so that any con-
striction of this publishing field
as a result of the new rates
lessens the opportunities for
Canadian writers to be published
in journals edited, published and
printed in their own country,
increasing the reliance of
writers and readers alike on U.S.
publications.”’

Development of a strong
publishing industry, even to the
point of subsidy, the resolution
concludes, is ‘‘as important to
the fostering of the Canadian
identity as the subsidized
Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation is acknowledged to
be in the radio and television
field.”’

The resolution, addressed to
Prime Minister Trudeau and
Poastmaster General Eric
Kierans, is being sent to the
Association’s national office for
circulation to branches across
the country.

Labor protest stiff jail
term for Indian leader

PRINCE GEORGE, B.C. -
Labor here has taken up the fight
against what it terms ‘‘arbitrary
injustice’ imposed on 28-year-
old Tachie Indian band coun-
cillor August Joseph.

In mid-January, Joseph, while
armed with a rifle, confronted a
government-hired construction
crew to warn them not to
trespass on Indian land for a
PGE extension from Fort St.
James to Takla Lake. It is
reported that he told the crew to
stop and when they refused, fired
his rifle scattering them.

Joseph said he intended the
action merely to delay the crew
while signs warning the
construction crew against
trespassing could be posted.

Chief Pierre of the Tachie
Indian band said, ‘‘No one from
the PGE has formerly con-
tacted me about consultations
over the land. There has been no
deal. I understand they want 52
acres of our land; thev are not

going to take it. We will makea
stand.”’ ;
Joseph was charged with
possessing an offensive weapon
and was sentenced to nine
months in jail. The Prince
George Bar Association has
appealed his case, meanwhile
the Indian leader remains in jail.

The Prince George and Dis-
trict Labor Council has written
the attorney general protesting
the severity of the sentence.
“Under the circumstances, the
sentence was too severe,’’ said
council secretary Harold Webb.

A letter from the Prince
George Building Trades Council
to the attorney general pro-
testing the stiff sentence, says
that the PGE admitted tres-
passing on Indian land and has
since agreed in negotiations with
the Tachie Indians to exchange
three acres of Crown land for
one acre taken by the PGE for

its right- -O1-Way.
