UNIVERSITIES FUND DRIVE

Moore Reiterates Stand |
On Resignation {

Fund and assist the Fund Com- —

IWA Regional President
Jack Moore has announced
that he will not reconsider his
resignation as head of the la-
bour section of the Three Uni-
versities Capital Fund Com-
mittee. =

In a release to the press, he
stated:

‘In this rapidly changing
world the nations which will
emerge as leaders are those na-
tions which train and educate
their youth to cope with the
technological, social and polit-
ical problems of tomorrow’s
complex society. If Canada is
to maintain her position among
the world’s nations and if we
are to increase our living
standards, then we must build
the institutions for advanced
education and technical train-
ing and make these facilities
available to all our young
people who have the inherent
ability to absorb such educa-
tion; not just a few whose par-
ents can afford the price.

To this end the Canadian
Government in conjunction
with the Provincial Govern-
ments must supply the money
to build our Universities and
Colleges, rather than rely on
voluntary donations.

Until the Governments ac-
cept their responsibilities to-
ward education, people who
recognize the great need for
properly trained professional
and technical personnel will

have to fill in the gap by vol-
untarily contributing to such
drives as the Three Universit-
ies? Fund.

Although I will personally
support the Three Universities’

International Union of

gress and the union.

Congress Membership
On Increase

Membership in the Canadian Labour Congress is
expected to be increased by more than 27,000 as a result
of affiliations approved or under discussion, Claude Jod-
oin, CLC President, announced. This will bring the
CLC’s membership to 1,177,000.

Affiliations have been approved for the Federation of
British Columbia Telephone Workers, 4,500; the Lith-
ographers and Photo Engravers International Unions,
4,000; and Loblaw’s Workers’ Council, 5,000.

The CLC’s executive council has given approval in
principle to the re-affiliation of the 13,500 members of the
Operating Engineers and details
are being worked out between the officers of the Con-

mittee, events have made it im-
possible for the Labour move-

ment to follow its original —

plan and my resignation as
Chairman of the Labour see-

tion stands.”
President Murray Drew,

Local 1-118, Victoria had pre-
viously submitted his resigna-
tion as a member of the Com-
mittee for similar reasons.

These resignations precipi-
tated the withdrawal of the
B.C. Federation of Labour
from campaign plans propos-
ed at the outset of the drive.

Secretary Pat O’Neal reg-
istered objections to the re-
cent increase in fees for sum-
mer tuition at UBC which, he
claimed, indicated an almost
certain increase in the regu-
lar tuition fees.

He listed the Federation’s
objections to the Three Uni-
versities’ campaign plans as
follows:

© Denial of labour repre-
sentation on the governing
bodies of the universities.

© Lack of consultation with
organized labour on campaign
plans.

e The omission of aid for
Notre Dame private univers-
ity in Nelson, serving the
Kootenay area.

e° The attempt of the gov-
ernment to evade basic re-
sponsibilities in supporting
higher education.

© O’Neal stated that the at-
tempt made by the President

of Victoria University to deny,

certification of employees on
the campus was the “straw
that broke the camel’s back.”
