—PETERBORO

A sensational document, entitled
Out of Your Pocket, was. issued
last week by the Provisional Com-
mittee of United Electrical Work-
ers Local 524 at the Peterboro GE
Works to all members.

This folder exposes the record
of four of the officers of the
Local, now suspended from their
posts in connection with withdraw-
als from the local’s treasury. The!
officers, J. Morton, J. Murphy, C.
O'Donnell and K. Chiles, conspired
with James Carey to smash the

UE local in the GE Peterboro
works and herd the member-
ship into James Carey's néw

company union set-up.
The seven-months total for these

CCL raiders use goon tactic

four individuals amounts to $5,-
910.13. In other words, each one
ran up a bill for lost time, travel-
ling, and personal expenses which
averages better than $211-a month.
More than $50 a week—for seven
months,

Another startling figure brought

Goon tactics are the latest development in the attempts of
CCL raiders who are trying to disrupt United Electrical Workers
locals on behalf of the James Carey’s CIO-sponsored company
union set-up. The piece of steel pipe being looked over by UE
members Marion Cordnei and Chris Genakas was wrested from
a CCL raider outside the General Electric Royce Avenue plant
at Toronto.

to light is that the last two con-
ventions cost the local a total of
$1,720.59, and it was while on the
trip to Cleveland on the money
belonging to Peterboro UE workers
that the Morton group conspired
to sell out local 524 to Carey’s
expensively rigged company-union
setup. ‘

In the meantime UE Officials
are rapidly getting names on the
petition campaign started by the
union for the purpose of compel-
ling the GE management to begin
bargaining on wages and working

Alvin Johnson’s suipaeiel aldermanic campaign to force government

action to prevent Canada’s rich iron ore and oil resources flowing into
the U.S. is winning a big response from Fort William electors. Despite
the conspiracy to silence him, engineered by the local radio station

conditions. ' \

GE has taken advantage of the
disruption caused by the Morton
raiders and has refused to con-
tinue negotiations on the master
contract, obviously in the hope |
that the splitters will wreck the:
union.

The facts are that the Gia
block has failed miserably in the
attempt to “take over” the Peter-
boro GE plant and has, the doubt-
ful support of less than a quarter
of the workers.

CHICAGO

In ordering a “trial” of the In-
ternational Union of Mine, Mill and
Smelter Workers and its interna-
tional president, John Clark, the
CIO comes “into court with un-

The resolution was adopted by
more than 50 top leaders and rank-

tional wage and bargaining confer-
ence in Denver.

Calling attention to the fact that
“charges” have been filed by the
CIO, the resolution stated:

“The charges themselves, the,
trial committee and the general at-
tack made against our organization
by certain CIO national officers
and organizations involve a back-
ground of several years of raiding,

Dane rising indignation among membérs of the United Electrical

Workers at the actions of Canadian Congress of Labor organizers ie
assisting in raids against the UE, the union has no® intention or, desire a

to pull out of the CCL.

C. §.. Jackson, Canadian’ UE
president, stated here last week
that all policy-making conventions
of the union up to: and including
the annual district meeting in
September had repeated the deci-
sion to retain affiliation and “ato
fight for our point of view within
the Congress.” ¥

A recent meeting cf the dibse
largest local in Canada, Local 504

Jat the Canadian Westinghouse in

Hamilton, had unanimously passed
a resolution urging that district

leaders withdraw the union from

the CCL because. of open raids
against UE locals and interference
in the UEH’s internal affairs by
repr esentatives’ of, the Congress.

“While we can understand this
justified indignatiom and the sen-
timents of this mass meeting of
workers against raiding and split-
ting, it is the opinion of the
union that. we must continue to
bend every effort to win the

CCL membership to a program ,

of unity, around the common
interests of the pide a said

Stewart smith, Board of Control
candidate in the coming civic ‘eleCr iit

gency conference to begin action

at once to build new fire escapes in

58 Tcronto schools.
Citing an article
magazine which revealed that 58

out of Toronto’s 87 schools had aa

open stairways which were a té!-
rible fire hazard, Smith demanded

that “without a week's delay, men

schools safe against fire.”

Smith charged that Toronto
Board of Education had refused
proposals for action from School
Trustees Edna Ryerson and Sam
Walsh.

“Is the Board of Contro] and the

another Noronic disaster, this
time in our schools, before they act.
