Fishermen To
Better Prices On July 6th

Boss Packers Hold up Prices for 1934 Pack To
Force Down Fishermen’s Share of Coming
Season’

= vg

VANCOUVER, May 19.—Result-{
jing from serious deliberations of
a meeting rep-
resentative of purse-seine, troll and

over 400 fishermen,

gillnet fishermen saw no other alter-
natiye to enforce canners to pay
adequate prices for fish during the
coming season, than by calling upon
all workers in the fishing industry
to cease production. It was con-
clusively. proved by several experi-
enced fishermen that the “round
table” conferences alone with the
boss packers are not enough to en-
force the packers to pay a price for
“fish equivalent to necessities of life.

Experience has convinced many
of the B. GC. fishermen that negotia-
tions and “‘peaceful settlement” of
prices for fish conceal the real in-
tentions of the bosses to forestall
the main issue from time to time,
holding the fishermen in suspension
until they are forced to go to the
fishing grounds to fish for the mis-
erable pittance that the canners may
offer.

Work to Gease July Gih

Unless the canned salmon section
of the GC.M.A., and the. “‘Indepen-
dent’? buyers make up their mind
to refrain from imposing additional
euts on the fishermen, and concede
to be just demands of the seiners,
gillmetters, trollers and cannery
workers, whose demands will also be
linked up with the demands of the
fishermen, then all categories of
fishermen and cannery workers are
prepared to back up their demands
by refusing to cateh or can the fish
beginning from July 6th.
Fish Trusts Juggling With Prices

A circular letter, to brokers from
the brokerage firm of McGovern &
McGovern, revealed the most insid-
ious juggling of prices ever heard
of. This circular establishes the fact
that the large fish corporations are
holding down the market prices to
justify drastic cuts in wages and
prices. The following quotation from
this circular leave no doubt in the
minds of fishermen as to the sinis-
ter intentions of the “boss packers”:

“The large packers who still have

difficulty in holding the market
down to a level which will not in-
cite higher demands from the Alaska

Immediate Preparations

The members of the National Ex-
ecutive Committee of the F.C.W.L.U.
in discussing the impending strug-
eles on the fishing grounds this sea-
son decided on immediate prepara—
tions to be taken up by all the locals
of the E.C.W.1L.U.

i. That the agitation, around the
question of a general strike which
was decided upon by the mass meet-
ing at Vancouver on May 19th, be
commenced by all the

around the main issues that are
confronting the fishermen today —
the increase in prices, abolition of
the fifth share from seine boat own-
ers, companies to pay the Provin-
cial and Wederad licenses, and in
favor of the higher wages for the
cannery workers.

The organic centres which
must be established on the grounds
to give live leadership to the strug-
gles that may take place in the be-
ginning of the season, must be es-
tablished and the functions of these
committees and organic centres must
be made clear to every member of
the F:C.W.1.U. They will be or
ganized along the lines as indicated
in the constitution and bylaws of the
F.C.W.1I.U. Boat groups, boat and
plant councils and regional commit-
tees will have to be set up imme-
diately on arrival of the delegates
on the grounds at Rivers and Smiths
Inlets. These committees or groups,
with the exception of the
groups, must include fishermen who

The history of the American labor
movement is replete with instances
where the tactics of the bosses have

been to sow distrust of the leaders

in the minds of the strikers. It is
only to be expected then that in
such a fight as the relief camp

workers haye put up in Yancouver
that this tactic should show up.
“Watch there are no Leopolds in
your ranks,” says one “friend” of
the boys. Leopold was in the Com-
munist Party and as there are Com-
munists in the leadership of the
strike there may be some Leopolds
among them. This is the line of
reasoning and if the strikers in the
ranks can be led to fear that their
leaders are in the pay of the police
—the chances of winning the strike
0 glimmering, the bosses, the rul-
ing class win again. The people who
make these statements are identi-
cally the same, morally, as the scabs
who break the strikes, the inform-
ers who hire themselves out to the
police and the stool-pigeons who
plant the fake evidence for the
frame-up of working class leaders—
even if they only give their infor-
mation to Andy Roddan.

S 3 = 8

True there are stool-pigeons and
provocators planted in all working
elass organizations that fight or
propose to fight the bosses. “Gerry”
McGeer’s tirade published in Mon-
day's press, tells us that a revolu-
tion was Slated to start in Vancou-
yer and spread across the Dominion.
The Communists had it all arranged.
If this is not the product of Me-
Geer’s fertile imagination it is a
tabulation of the reports of stools,
who have to earn their pay and
must keep those who pay them in a
sweat of fear if the “job” is to last.
If the ruling class were not kept in
that state of mind there would be
no occasion for informers and if
the workers were not militant the
bosSes would not need stools to
manufacture evidence for them, Mc-
Geer is in this state of mind as nis
statement shows and there are some
who have been in close contact with
him in the past month who are con-
vinced that he is destined to take
up permanent residence in the salu-
brious atmosphere of Essondale at

no distant date.

A leech by the name of MacInnes,

his weight into the fight against the

strikers launched. Of course, the

TWENTY YEARS
HARD LABOR

BELLIS, Alta, May 8—(ALP)—
One of the original settlers of this
district, Comrade Velichka, member
of the Farmers Unity League, died
here recently. After working hard
on his land for 21 years, this toiler
leaves his wife and 10 children prac-
tically on the verge of starvation.
His entire life was one of bitter hard-
ship and toil. Over three hundred
farmers attended to pay last respects
to their dead neighbor and a proces-
sion of thirty teams formed up. An-
ather 200 people waited at the ceme-
tery.

DIGEST OF LETTERS

From MM. R. of Kamloops, we re-
ceive a copy of a letter sent to the
Wancouver “Sun,” which was not
published in full. The letter takes
up the question of an editorial pub-
lished in the ‘‘Sun” on Fascism. The
writer brings out the misrepresenta-
tion of fascism as outlined by the
“Sun” editorial. We are not able
to publish it because of its extreme
leneth. We would, however, like to
have M.R. send us the news of the
struggle around Kamloops.

From the O’Brien Hall Gang we
have a phoney resolution which we
are dropping in the—BASKET-.

From Quesnel comes to hand a
couple of pages on the question of
an editorial in the “Commonwealth”
by W-A.P. The letter states that
“the writer of the editorial secured
the majority of the stock of ‘The
Commonwealth’ by certain means
known to folks of his kidney.” We
are cramped for room for this kind
of copy, so we are keeping it on file.

From §$.0.S. we have four pages
of excellent propaganda. There is so
much news to be had of the struggle,
however, if we only go after it, that
we are saving it for further refer-
ence to Pattullo. The article deals
extensively with Pattullo’s
speech, and turns it inside out.

great

J-O. sends us a full page (cap size)
of propaganda on the danger of Im-
perialist war and the approach of
Fascism. He outlines the methods
generally adopted in fascist meas-

ures, such as forced labor, ete. The
article is rather too general. The
writer concludes with, “The only

freedom from war under the present
system is—Death.’”’ We would like
J.Q. to write us again on the strus-
eles in his locality.

Canteen Fund
Complaints continue to reach this
column of unfair treatment in dis-
tribution of the canteen fund. Some
can get no assistance though in very

straightened circumstances, while
others haye received as much as

It is time the rank and file had a
say in the disbursement of this
fund. Why not demand that a mem-

ber of the Workers Ex-seryicemen’s

Ex-Soldiers’ Wives

Prominent among the relief camp

numerous ex-Servicemen, veterans
who had ben forced into Bennett's

These men fought from 1914 to
1918 to make Canada a fit place to
live in. After their discharge they
found their mistake, so have had to
take up the struggle once more and
we trust they won’t let up until
Canada IS a fit place for workers
to live in!

Imperial Vets

Visiting town at present is Com-
rade Shuker, secretary of the Lazo
Branch of the Workers Ex-seryice-
men’s League. He informs me that
conditions are greatly improved since
the Cumberland strike; some men
getting a considerable raise. This
proves to us that if we want better
relief or more wages we have to
struggle for them. Prices» are going
up in the restaurants. We vets will
have to press for an increase in our
pnesions and relief if we wish to
maintain our present standard.

Comrade Shuker also informs us
that Imperial Veterans on the Island
are getting a dirty deal,
from many hardships.

Dear
history

Comrades, — Never in the
of the veterans has there
been a greater need of unity of the
various organizations of veterans.
Wever has the call to the ex-service-
men to organize been so necessary
as today. All opportunities for the
ex-seryciemen getting employment
are denied them. Pensions are be-
ing reduced and in many cases cut
off altogether. Since 1931 a total of
25,858 pensioners had their pensions
reduced; 5,727 pensions were cut off

entirely. This is a total saying to

the government of $5,240,822.

Women Send Delegation to Mayor

Women are continuing to play an
active part in the struggle against
the camps.

On Monday afternoon in Vancou-
ver a women’s meeting, under the
auspices of the Mothers’ Commit-
tee, held in the Majestic Hall, voted
to constitute itself a delegation and

mayor was “not although he
had been informed by letter of the

Demands

The women were going to ask for
relief for the strikers pending the
report of the McDonald commis-
sion, and the opening of negotia-
tions. .-Spokesmen were Mrs. Colley
and Mrs. Harrison.

After waiting about an hour for
the mayor, under the eyes of a dozen
policemen, the women were told
that they would have to leave, and
were put out of the city hall.

Camp im Police Station

Still determined that the boys
should not go hungry, the women
returned to the Majestic Hall, where
a decision was made to interview
Chief Foster, and remain in the
police station until assurance was
given that every boy had something
to eat and a place to sleep. After
more than two hours, this assur-
ance was made, and the women dis-
persed.
The women of Vancouver are in
this fight te support the boys and
intend to stay with it.

The June Drive

To all readers, especially women
and women’s organizations:
This is confidential, just between

you and us, but OO!’ Bill and Iron

Rations and the Business Manager

think they have us on the spot. In

fact, Ol’ Bill isn’t trying to hide it
at all, but came right out in the
open last week to say that he is

going to get the most subs and
donations.

Now, girls, we just can’t take
that, can we? We've been put upon
and shoved into a corner long
enough. This is where we are 2Zo-

ing to snap out of it, and show the
men what we can do. So send in
those subs and contributions to the
Sustaining Fund, and don’t forget
to mark them care of “Pegsy Har-
rison.”’ The Irive starts officially
next month, but if all you women
get busy right now, we'll knock ‘em
cold when the scoreboard goes up
the first issue in June.

Roddan Knew the Reason

A member of the Mothers’ Commit-
tee sent a letter to Andy Doddan,
minister of First United Church, on
the 15th of this month protesting to
him that he allow his pulpit to be
used by Mayor McGeer.

We are in possession of a copy of
the letter. In it the members of the
committee suggests that Mr. Roddan
“publicly disown MecGeer or he will
drag down the church into the
mire.”” =

This proves conclusively that
Roddan was fully aware of the rea-
son for the mothers being present
at his church last Sunday evening.

GRAND CONCERT

The Vancouver Council of Unem-
ployment will hold a grand concert
at the Moose Hall on Burrard Street

everyone. If your organization has
not got tickets get them at Room

In view of the above facts and the
move that is now being made to dis-

ers and ex-servicemen on relief, the
Provincial Bureau cf the W-E.S.L.
of B.C. is taking steps to call a Far
