National Youth Day The Youth Anti-War Congress held in Toronto on the 4th and 5th of Ausust last set aside June 15th to be known as National Youth Day, a day upon which thousands of youth throughout Canada would demonstrate against war and fas- cism. Opposition to war and to the grow- ine fascist tendencies of the Cana- dian government is beginning to materialize in the minds of the Ca- nadian youth. Lhe experiences in Vancouver recently onee more point out just how close we are to open fascism when the mayor of the city calls for the organization of a “citi- gens’ committee” to smash the strik- jnge camp workers and the long- shoremen’s union in the event of a strike. Who Will Fight? The youth are the ones who will be expected to fight. “You must de- fend your country,” the capitalist elass will say. Yes! QUR country! OUR slave camps—OUR soup Kit- chens—OUR boxears and QUR mis- sions. Well might we ask, “Why don’t they look after us now? Why- don’t they turn over the millions of dollars that Canada has spent for armament purposes for relief? Why can't we use it? Don’t we need food and clothes?—and the relief camp strikers, don’t they want to eat?”’ Wow they are talking about the G.G.C. camps in the U.S.A. But ask the American youth about these camps. Those camps mean uniforms, military training; they are bound hand and foot to the government military machine. WE DON'T WANT CAMPS! They reek too much of war and fascism, They are too much like prison com— pounds of Hitler. The present relief camp strike has prought the issue of war and fascism very clearly in front of the Vancou- yer youth. We cannot afford to be disunited. Action is needed. We must block the war plans of the Ca- nadian government. We must vigor- ously combat any move towards fas- cism. Qn National Youth Day, let us Meet Mr. “Slim” Peters. The provineial police are sup- posed to be composed of the cream of Canadian youth. Your corres- pondent noticed in its ranks the other day an individual by the name of Peters (Slim), a rat who talked a sick girl out of her last dollar and, it is alleged, to be wanted by the police for some collection and cheque trouble. It was truly said that the capitalist class will comb through the dregss of the under- world for the necessary forces to erush the militant working class. Gol. Gootes, who is very interest- ed in the so-called Citizens’ League, thought to impress a youth by showing the lad his membership eard in Mosley’s British Union of Fascists, and GG. would have us pelieve that his organization is not Fascist.

Defence News Camp Boys Remanded VANCOUVER, June 5—Although a C€.L.D.L. representative appeared in police station here Tuesday, to defend the twenty relief camp strikers arrested while tagging on Saturday, June ist, on charges of “obstruction,’’ the City Prosecutor refused to go on with the case, stat- ing that the facts were too compli- eated. As a result, the strikers were remanded for three days and bail was set at $500 each. The C.L.D.L. has supplied tobacco to all the boys and are contesting the case. Prince George Relief Strike VANCOUVER, June 4.— Gordon Grant, attorney for the C.L.D-L., Jeft here for Prince George to de- fend four workers arrested during the unemployed strike on charges of assaulting police. This was deemed necessary by the District Committee on account of the repeated attempts by Milburn, the government agent, to frame thees workers without a semblance of a fair trial. The De- fense committee set up in Prince George sent $100 to defray expenses. Worthern Miners Sympathetic PRINCE GEORGE, B.C., June 4.— Miners in the Cariboo district see the necessity for defense organiza- tion according to reports received from C. J. MckKendrick, who is tour- jing the northwestern section of B.C. We states that “enthusiastic meet- ings have been held in Wells and Quesnel in spite of intimidation by police.” MckKendrick was stopped by the police officer in Quesnel, who asked for a permit. The police was shown C.L.D.l. eredentials. Gumber Case Traversed NEW WESTMINSTER, June 1.— Following disagreement by two juries and discharge of a third, the ease of E. Cumber, proyinecial sec- retary of the Relief Camp Workers JIM COLEMAN HELD WINNIPEG, May 25—(ALP)—Pro- Union, has been trayersed to the Fall Assizes. To an eyewitness, the fact that the aceused is charged with “obtaining $9.75 by false pre- tenses”? and that in an effort to con- viet, the Crown has already spent around $5,000, is indisputable proof that the authorities will go to any extent to convict this militant worker. This case affects 700 who were blacklisted in relief camps and who incidentally were forced to ap- ply for relief under assumed names in order to live. The splendid co- operation of the New Westminster organization is a feature to be com- mended. Powell River Longshorenien POWELL RIVER, B.C., June 1.— Two longshoremen have been ar- rested here on charges of “using ob- scene language’ and trespassing in connection with the waterfront strike. The C.L.D.. is defending and is sending Gordon Grant to de- fend. The accused are out on $25 bail pending hearings. Macauley at Vernon VANCOUVER, June 5.—The case of A. Macauley is scheduled to come up at the Yernon Assizes on June 10th. This is perhaps the worst frame-up perpetrated by the police in B.C. Macauley was attacked by Provincial Police and N.D.C. offici- als in a Princeton relief camp for selling working class literature and beaten unmercifully. He was taken to Princeton where charges of assault and obtainine relief illegally were laid against him. The Prince- ton branch of the C.L.D.L. took up his defence and forced bail from the reluctant officials. Gail was set at $6,000. The District Committee has ealled upon all workers in the vicin- ity of Vernon to rally to the trial.

So if you want to see Ol’ Bill make the quota, get the post- man busy bringing in the donations and subs. The “B. C. Workers’ Wews’ becomes more and more necessary in view of the barrage of lies and insinuations, slander and yillification, now being launched over the air. Don’t forget to mark your letters “Ol’ Bill.” = os The downright lie of the jumping- jack mayor of Vancouver, that the Communists are well supplied with funds that come from the same source as* that used to finance the general strike in San Mrancisco — “the international bankers’? — is twisted around to fit the needs of whichever set of political gangsters finds it necessary to make an at- tack on the Communists at any par- ticular moment. The lie about Mos- cow gold has been worn threadbare, so McGeer devises a new le to help further his demogagic plans. In France, where the great fear of the ‘Jaw, order and good government” small business fry, is German, De TSrilis, spokesman of the Catholic priesthood and the reactionary miuili- faristic general staff, proves him- self as good a liar as “Jerry Mc- Queer’ by proclaiming the arrant falsehood that “the Communist Party of France is in the pay of Hitler.’”’ He could not say the money came from the “international bank- ers” as these thieving hijackers were behind the monster, though unsuccessfal campaign to stem the advance of the Communist Party in the French municipal elections. 3 * = The Communists get the money necessary to carry on their work from the working class in whose interest they fight, helped out by liberal and intelligent supporters of jhe Communist program in the ranks of the professional and petty bourgeois classes. Much of these funds come out of the pinched stom- achs of the unemployed workers who contribute their pennies and nickels because they know that the Communist Party is their party. The Citizens’ League, who have their office in the same room as the fascist MacInnes, will get no finan- cial support from the hunger- ridden, exploited masses, but the in- ternational bankers; and the local bankers, too, aS well as all the para- sites of the Shipping Federation, the Chamber of Commerce and the Board of Trade, the mine owners, the lumberbarons, the cannery own- ers, the transportation and public utilities corporations and all the racketeering politicians will get mixed up in the great game of “put and take” that will center around the finances of the Citizens’ League. * oo * McGeer has told us insistently since the beginning of the Relief Camp Workers’ strike that he in- tends to maintain law and order, but he does not make any move to- wards arresting the fascist ranter, MaciInnes, for ‘inciting to riot.” This socially useless, parasitic mobo- crat threatens over the air that “the Communists will get bullets in their heads and ropes around their necks.” The class content of bour- geois law allows this maniacal half- wit to pollute the air with his venom: only an organized and revo- lutionary working class can deal thoroughly with statements of this kind and people of this character. ES * + The French liner Normandie has erossed the Atlantic in a shorter time than it has ever been done before. The capitalist press is full of tripe about how far she would reach from the post office, how many times higher the rudderpost is than the Empire State Building, of the palatial and luxurious fittines, and so forth. None of them tell their readers she was produced by workers that the keel was laid, the frames set and the plates hung by workers that they were riveted to- gether by workers that the engines were designed, turned and fitted by workers that from stem to stern there is nothing in her that was not produced by workers. The men who sailed her across the Atlantic were workers. Moreover, they were workers who had just compelled the French Line to grant them a little better conditions. They had just concluded a strike that compelled the company to grant them an ac- tual raise in wages. They demand- ed that 80 per cent of the crew should be hired permanently instead of by the voyage. The French ship- owners screamed about the na- tional honor, just as the Shippine Federation here does and the French fovyernment sent 1000 troops in to settle the strike. But the sailors and stewards won most of their demands. A stage crack shot recently shot a cigarette from the mouth of Hitler without making an error.

Unfor- ex-colonels and police chiefs of the | ESSONDALE A sad story is reported to this column by a member of the Ren- frew Branch of the Workers’ Ix- servicemen’s Leasue- It is the case of an ex-service- man’s daughter in Essondale. The home was broken up after the war, and the father thought the children would be better off with the mother tunately she proved to be an un- natural mother, for when one of her daughters developed epeleptic fits she had her put away in Essondale and has not been to see her for three years. This girl is quite ra- tional except during the time of a fit, and yet in Hssondale they seem to have no special wards for cases like this. She is in a ward with patients who are dangerous. On a recent visit She was found to be badly sealded by having had a pa- tient mentally unbalanced throw hot porridge over her. We would like some women’s or- ganization to assist us in this case. More information can be had from A. Downie, care of W.E.S.L., 150 Bast Hastings Street. CONTINUOUS STRUGGLE NECESSARY Centre Branel succeeded in get- tine four days’ relief for a Veteran who had been discriminated against. We have a number of cases pend- ing, one comrade on being marked unfit was advised to go back to the doctor and ask him to mark him fit so he could be sent to a Slave Camp! The Province evidently wants to chisel on the Dominion by pass- ing as many men on to them as possible,—this in spite of Pattullo’s published statement that mo resi- dent of the province prior to May, 1931, need go into sSlayery in the camps. The Ex-Servicemen’s League have decided to call a Mass Demonstra- tion if necessary to retcify these erievances. Qur slogan should be, “Not a Veteran to the camps.” Centre Branch, W.E.S.L., is now installed in their new hall along with the G.l.Dd. It is known as the “New Dawn’ Hall, 150 West Hastings St. Social affairs will be held each Wednesday and Saturday, and they invite all friends and sym- pathisers to patronize these enter- tainments. We are still waiting to see some donations come in to this column. Pitty cents is all to hand at pres- ent. Are the vets going to be in the rear? Back your mouthpiece! Make it a neck and neck race. PROPOSE-TO SLASH - VETS TRELIEF The Hyndman Commission makes jts recommendations, and here are some of them. Read them and weep. The chief recommendation sug- gests establishment of a commis-= sion, voluntary by preference, which would study and give effect to pro- posals for amelioration of condi- tions. ; One from the Chamber of Com- merce, one from the Army & Navy Legion, one appointed by the Gov- ernment, the government man to take the chair. These men are to find work for you. What a pros- pect! Another is for 15 per cent vet- erans to be employed on government eontracts. This is an old story. Try and get it! % Here’s where you can get back in uniform: Tt is recommended that a Corps of Commissionaires be set up in all towns in Canada. Do we vets want to be flunkies to a bunch of para- sites. Irony: They suggest our relief be “not Jess than that issued by the municipalities.” Again it is recommended to issue elothes to those with dependents put not to those without dependents. This is taking away a privilege al- ready enjoyed by the single pen- sioners, No recommendation for an in- erease of relief, although with the cost of livinge steadily rising this is absolutely necessary. Not a word about reducing the age at which the burnt out veter- ans’ allowance can be drawn. In fact, not a thing for the benefit of the Ex-Serviceman. The report states that 38,000 vets are unemployed and another 15,000 Imperial Vets. This is an under- estimation. All veterans should demand the passage of the Workers’ Bill for WNon-contributory Unemployment In- surance. Only the workers have anything constructive to offer us!

Sub- WOMEN’S COLUMN Conducted by Peggy Harrisor Longshore Women’s Auxiliary Wives and daughters of Vancou- ver Longshoremen haye set up a Women’s Auxiliary. The Mount Pleasant Braneh of the Women’s Juabor League have assisted in this and everything points to the build- jnge of a powerful women’s organiza- tion, that will be a factor in strenethenin= of the unity of the waterfront workers in this port. First a social was held, and the proposal was discussed informally there, and then a mass meeting of women was called when the organ- jzation was launched. A further social will be held and will be an- -nounced in this paper. The women helped in the strike of the camp workers and proyed the value of having the women organ- ized. "The women in the families of the lonsshoremen can do much to help better the conditions of the waterfront workers if they are or- eanized. Bvery adult girl woman jn the families of longshore- men should get into the Auxiliary. Tell your husband or father if he to join it. The time is now ripe to join. Fight shoulder with your men for and is a longshoreman that you demand to shoulder better living Kiddies Corner Hey, Skin-nay! C’m On Over! Spike, Spud, Lefty and Mike are All Coming —And Girls Too! Hello, Kids! This is Station S.-C. (Summer Camp Committee) broad- casting. We are now on the job, working hard for the big campaign for the summer camp for kids to start on the ist of July. The Women’s Labor League is looking after the campaign this year, and boy, oh boy, they are go- ing to make it the best camp this year that ever was held. They are devising methods of raising finance to put over the plan. They went to the City Hall and asked for a grant of money for the eamp from the city council. The eity council of Vancouver makes a erant of fifty or a hundred. dollars to many organizations and schemes, but the committee for the kids’ sum- mer camp was turned down flat. The City Mayor, Mr McGeer, doesn’t like workers’ kids, unless they are boy scouts or girl Suides. The committee, however, will raise the money with the assistance of the kids themselves. The mayor said nothings doing when the camp strikers asked for a tag day, but the tag day was held and made standards for all waterfront workers and their families. The Right Spirit. From Mrs. E. A. P., Vernon, comes a donation of $5 for the June drive. That is the spirit that will put us over the top. There is also 4a possibility of some subs from the same direction. — Now, who's next? Ol’ Bill was actually bragging that most of his donations have come from women and gals so far. Now, we know OV Bill iS quite a ladies’ man, but that is going too far. Women and women’s organizations, our honor is at stake! Rally round the women’s banner, send in donations and subs, and be sure to make them to the eredit of this column. A Correction. A donation of $17 made to the Children’s Summer Camp and re- ported in last issue as eoming from the Women’s Labor League, should have been from the Vancouver HWeishts branch of the Women’s Tabor League. Mothers’ Gommittee Still Active. The general opinion at a women’s mass meeting ealled by the Mothers’ Committee on Tuesday at the Majestic Hall, was that the camp strikers still need all the sup- port that the mothers can give them. In this light, it was decided to carry on until the boys get their demands. On Friday morning the women are going to the trial of the boys who were arrested on Saturday for tagging. A donation of $5 was made to the Prisoners’ Fund of the C.L. D.L., and a collection of $2 was ¢aken for the Canadian MLeague Against Warand Fascism .; The next women’s meeting will be on Tuesday, June 11th, at 2:30 at the Majestic Hall. All women interested in seeing that the boys get better conditions are invited to attend. Women Of The Soviet Union MOSCOW, May 28—{ALP)—The newspapers Sive interesting figures on the growth in the population of the Soviet Union. AS a result of the ever-increasing excess of births over deaths in the Soviet Union as distinguished from capitalist coun- tries, the population is rapidly and steadily growing. Between 1929 and 1933 the population of the Sips increased by 11.5 millions and until 1934 inclusive by i6 millions. “Tn the Soviet Union the mother is the most respected person. In the erowth of the population we see the source of an increase in the wealth of the country and its success be- cause of all valuable capital in the world the most valuable and most decisive is its people and the lead- ers.’’—Stalin. Soviet law strictly pro- tects mothers and infants. The Party and the government assists with spe- cinl care the education of children.
