A charge that Teamsters
Union. attempted to “bribe”
striking workers at Simmons
Ltd. was made by Bud Hodg-

son, president of Local 580, .

Retail, Wholesale and Depart-
ment Store Union.

Hodgson said a Teamster of-
ficial had approached pickets,
asked them how much strike
pay they were getting, and
‘suggested that they might get
more if they belonged. to his
. union.

“T don’t know‘of any move
degrading means of bribing
than offering greater strike
pay,” said Hodgson angrily.
“You can appreciate the ef-
fect of such an offer on a
group of workers who have
been pounding picket lines for
many months, and not getting
too much strike pay — though
we are doing our best.”

He said that the strike at
Simmons, which began last
March, is still solid and may
last for some time yet.

S. B. Whitelock, business

agent of Teamsters Local 331,

took the mike and accused
Retail, Wholesale of union
raiding when Teamsters had
tried to organize the Simmons
workers some time ago.
President Whalen said that
it was regrettable charges and

Meets ask freeing of
Doukhobor children

Two meetings held in the city last week voted support for
the Sons of Freedom Doukhobors in their campaign to win the
release of close to 100 Freedomite children held at New Den-

ver. by the government.

Since 1953 RCMP: have been raiding Freedomite communi-
ties and seizing children for failure to attend public school. The

Freedomite sect conducts its
own schools but opposes gov-
ernment schooling because it
believes that war is glorified
in the teaching of history. The
Doukhobors are pacifists.

A meeting of city Doukho-
-bors and sympathizers at the
Russian People’s Home heard
Bill Moojelsky, leader of a 40-
member Freedomite delegation
which visited the Mine-Mill
convention last week, outline
efforts of the sect to have the
children at New Denver re-
turned to their parents. The
meeting sent a protest to Jus-
tice Minister. Davie Fulton and
also forwarded an appeal for
the release of the children to
the United Nations.
