One of the stands of the exhi- bition dedicated to Tim Buck's life (top) and pupils of one of - Moscow’s schools at another of the stands (left). By YEVGENI RUDKOVSKY (Novosti Press Agency) An exhibition dedicated to the 80th birthday of Tim Buck, chairman of the Communist: Party of Canada, was opened in Moscow on Jan. 7, in one of the halls of the Marx-Engels Mus- eum. “It is hard to show all the aspects of Tim Buck’s activities even in a big display,”’ said Eliza- veta Krasavina, senior scientific worker of the Museum. “But we have done everything in our power to enable visitors to get as full an idea as possible of the many-sided activities of Tim Buck as leader of the Commun- ist Party of Canada, its theoreti- cian and publicist, as well as outstanding leader of the inter- national communist movement.” The exhibits include Tim _ .By WILLIAM. ALLAN DETROIT — The strike dead- line was lifted Jan. 19 for 122,- 000 Chrysler workers, members of the United Auto Workers Union, based on the union get- ting the minimal General Mo- tors, Ford package on wages and contract settlements. It can be said, however, that ~ the union down below in the shops of the Big Three — GM, Ford, Chrysler — hasn’t been strengthened during the months on negotiations. The workers tried by presenting 32,000 plant demands at GM, 20,000 in Ford, 10,000 in Chrysler, all based on improving working conditions, combatting speedup, throwing up blocks against discrimination practised against thousands of black, Puerto Rican, Chicano, women and youth by the corpor- ations. On economic demands, the workers got $1.25 an hour spread over a 3-year contract, broken down into 5lc an hour average wage increase the first year, 25c in two productivity raises and 35c in cost of living raises. They also got a $500 a month pension after 30 years of work in the plants, as well as some slight improvements in fringe bénefits. : But all three shop contracts revealed no changes. The clog- ged up grievance procedure re- mains, the killing speedup stays guarded by company security clauses that penalize workers who fight the speedup, wide- spread racism, and they will only. L Exhibition tells Tim Buck’s life Buck’s speeches at the conven- tions of the CPC, as well as the report to the 8th Convention of the Party, held in 1937, “The People vs Monopolists”. The more than 30 works writ- ten by him at various periods of. his life acquaint. visitors with the activities of Tim Buck as theoretician-and historian of the Communist movement in Can- ada. These include such funda- mental works as “Canada: The Communist Viewpoint”, publish- ed in 1949, “30 Years. 1922-1952: The Story of the Communist Movement in Canada,” written in 1952, and one of the latest works, “Put Monopoly under Control” (1964). Of special inter- est to Soviet people are of course Tim Buck’s books analyz- ing the impact of the ideas of the October Revolution and Len- inism on the development of the Communist movement in Can- ada. Tim Buck has devoted many works to this theme, including a detailed foreword to the Cana- dian edition of Lenin’s article, Auto union's mixed gains be stopped by job action, not by the few scraps of words in the contract supposedly barring dis- crimination. : Compulsory overtime was con- tinued, no-strike clauses are still in the contracts, young workers are penalized 20¢ an hour less for the first 90 days they work in a new-job, while doing the same work of an employee with lots of seniority. In Ford’s the new shaft the workers got was penalization by not getting retroactive money back to Novy. 2, unless they set- tled their local plant demands first — sheer blackmail. At two Ford plants, Rouge Tool and Die, and Woodhaven, UAW members have charged a violation of la- bor laws and Ford tool-and-die makers have made a suit of it. At Woodhaven, the workers are preparing to strike because of several deaths of fellow workers by lack of safety and the plant is branded a death trap. The new Ford contract did little or any- thing to change this. The monopoly media is going into raptures about an announce- ment by the UAW that they have an agreement with Chrys- ler to study a 4-day 40-hour work week as a measure to com- bat “absenteeism” in the shops, especially amongst production workers. The Big 3 have de- manded the union join them in this drive against “absenteeism.” ' The 4-day 40-hour study pro- posal agreed in the Chrysler- UAW talks is loaded with dan- PACIFIC TRIBUNE—FRIDAY, JANUARY 29, 1971—PAGE 7 “Karl Marx”, written in 1944. The vivid talent of the publi-. cist found its expression in a whole series of pamphlets with which Tim Buck responded to the major events in the life of Canada and the whole world. Among: those displayed at the exhibition is a pamphlet of 1950 “On Korea. A Letter to the Prime Minister,” as well as one of 1949, “Block the Police State Plot”. Photographs on the stands show Tim Buck addressing a meeting celebrating the 30th an- niversary of the Communist Party of Canada in 1952, and de- livering a message of greetings on behalf of the Canadian Com- munists to the participants in the 20th CPSU Congress in 1956. Particularly interesting is the photograph made quite recently, on Dec. 31, 1970, showing the presentation to Tim Buck of the medal of the USSR War Vete- rans’ Committe for his participa- tion in the war of the Spanish ~ people against the fascist arm- ies. gers. First, it will do away with the concept of overtime after 8 hours; it will serve to escalate. production; it replies to the com- pany’s cries for cutting down costs; it will surely increase ac- cidents, and it covers up for the boss that the real reason for ab- senteeism by production workers is that they are bone weary from speedup and. just can’t make it to work because of ex- haustion. To the amazement of some re- porters UAW president Leonard Woodcock in announcing the 4- ~ day 40-hour work week termed the plan (which means it’s more _ than just a study, it could be a fact already) as having “very exciting possibilities.” In production and maintenance -units of Chrysler, 31 of 72 units (shops) have concluded negotia- ting their demands. In the white collar and salary units 53 out of 99 have settled. : It’s estimated some 5,000-un- settled local unit demaridts* are still on the table, besides no agreement for 10,000 white col- lar workers in Chrysler, .. ‘ The top UAW negotiators agreed to allow Chrysler to pen- alize the local units who haven’t settled their demands, by not paying them retroactive, swage packages back to Nov. Gutil . they settle. This is a ‘HainiWer in Chrysler’s hands to force the workers on these basic working _ conditions demands to settle for nothing.
