He stated that position has been made quite clear by delegates to the C.L.C. Convention in Edmonton and that C.U.P.E.’s membership has reaffirmed that decision in their provincial conventions. Said Mr. Greene, “‘It’s high time some of our labour leaders quit waffling on this subject. The only thing that they could offer at such a conference is abject surrender and an agreement to urge the working people of this country to accept a lower standard of living. They cannot make good on such a promise because the rank and file are dissatisfied with their present _ standard of living in such a potentially rich country and will not agree to its further erosion.”’ _ “Qur economic problems must be solved by getting the economy rolling again, creating hundreds of thousands of new jobs for unemployed workers and for young people coming out of school, by curtailing defence expenditures and by controlling excess profits, especially by * foreign corporations which drain — millions of dollars out of this country every day. These solutions are the responsibility of big business and govern ment.”’ “Rank and file trade unionists have instructed their leaders to fight for them and will ae expense of the working people. 253.1 2679 E> Hastings St., 4-2313 22] Vancouver 6, B.C. sak ee Tle rece eee 2 The Trip of a Lifetime!

Taylor, with 21 years experience at Hunting- don, had failed to appreciate the significance of the return of the three U.S. dissenters. The judge’s report says one of the RCMP officers got the mistaken impression the immi- gration service at Huntingdon wanted to interview them. (Where did he get that impres sion? ) The judge’s report also says that the RCMP officer ‘‘should Cassiar Group Protests Dust Cassiar Ratepayers’ Associa- tion last week sent a strong protest to city council regarding the dust emanating from Alberta ‘Wheat Pool elevators. The letter said that taxpayers living adjacent to the elevators and even as far away as Boundary Road were constantly plagued by frequent breakdowns in the elevator which caused enormous amounts of dust to pollute the whole area. Karl Zuker, on behalf of the Cassiar Ratepayers, wrote city council that they were aware of an agreement which is to see new equipment installed by 1972, but something had to be done immediately. He suggested that council direct the Alberta Wheat Pool to stop all operations when the breakdowns occur until repairs are completed, rather than continue to operate while repairs were made. * The letter said taxpayers in the area were up in arms over the situation. _ VETERAN PASSES An old time progressive who took part in the Winnipeg General Strike in 1919 passed away recently at the age of 85 years.

And how come experienced customs officials stood by with folded arms and allowed the law to be broken at the border? The report admits that there was liaison if not active collaboration between the RCMP and U.S. military ‘authorities in the case of the three Americans. Yet the whole illegal.act went off without question. Why? Is it because the ,officialdom have a bias towards dissenters from the U.S. war in Vietnam and took the law into their hands? Or is it because they thought their action was in line with the thinking. of present government policy in Ottawa? Ignorance of the law when an offence has been committed is not allowed as part of the de- fence. Why should so called ignor- ance of the law be allowed when the law was broken by those to blame in the Huntingdon case? - The report of the incident leaves more questions unanswered than it answers. The public will not be satisfied until a much more plausible and full explanation has been given, including the attitude of the officials involved in breaking the law against the dissenters.
