Douglas.

He suggested that out of
the million voters who sup-
Ported the party in the last
federal election 50,000 should
be willing to contribute 25
cents a week on a regular
basis.

“This is not the time for
the fairweather friends .. .
There are no bargains for
sale. We must be prepared to
pay the price for building a
new society.”

T. C. “TOMMY” DOUGLAS

The NDP leader said his
recent $4,000 parliamentary
pay increase will go into a
fund to get badly needed re-
search facilities for the party
caucus. :

He paid tribute to the “gen-
erous” union support in the
last two federal election cam-
paigns.

Mr. Douglas said great op-
portunities exist for party
support. Recent Gallup Polls
had indicated the number of
undecided voters is greater
than ever before in Canada’s
history.

“The indecision of voters
indicates a growing disillu-
sionment with the old-line
parties. The Liberal’s 60 days
of decision have become 60
days of derision,” he said.

In an obvious reference to
the defection of Hazen Argue
from CCF to Liberal ranks,
Mr. Douglas said some defec-
tions might have been ex-
pected by those who wanted
easy success.

“But sometimes defection
does not bring easy success,”

he added.

Strike Threat By Crew
Wins Union Agreement

Strike threat by employees
of the Tappen Valley Timber
Ltd., Tappen, was successful
in forcing the Company to
sign a union agreement with
Local 1-417, IWA.

The crew voted, in a gov-
ernment-supervised ballot, to
strike the operation unless a
contract was signed.

The new agreement pro-
vides for a basic rate of $1.85
per hour, plus fringe benefits
including statutory holidays,
medical and health and wel-
fare plans and vacation bene-

fits.

The previous hourly rates
ranged from $1.60 to $2.50.

Cliff Michael, Local Finan-
cial Secretary stated the wage
increase will average approx-
imately 25 cents per hour.

The contract was negoti-
ated on behalf of the Union
by Cliff Michael, Ray Mackie,
Les Bellows and Hugh
Johnson.

The Canadian population
reached 18,896,000 June 1 and
should exceed 19,000,000 by
October 1.
