Page Two B CAT WEO ER Kee R Sa NaS August 30, 1: | YOUTH WORK IN FORESTS A short time ago an article ap- peared in this column dealing with the Junior Forest Wardens. The initiation of this work by the Provincial Government was ex- plained as a manoeuyre on the part of the Ministry of Labor to create 2 Jarge body of young men with “good character.”” The purpose for this is to train these youth in forestry work so that in case of strikes or lockouts this army of young men will be available to the lumber barons to be used as scabs. During this time of the year there is a large amount of forestry work going on. Many men are being em- ployed. ; It is therefore the policy of the government authorities to seek the cheapest labor available for this forestry work. Dollar a Day Labor The Junior Forest Wardens can supply much of this labor at only $1.00 per day. Hence we find that the government is breaking all its former rules and regulations, which ealled for 10 years’ residence in Brit- ish Columbia; age limits between 21 and 25 years of age, etc., in an effort to recruit Jarge numbers of youth for the forestry work. Young men on relief from 19 years up are forced to fill application forms for a place in the Junior Forest Wardens. All youns men who are approach- ed to become a membero f the Jun- jor Forest Wardens Should accept the “job” with the purpose in mind of organizing the young men in the forest camps, and to transform the Junior Forest Wardens from a weapon of the lumber barons against the working people, into an organ- ized body of youth who will fight for better conditiohs, higher pay, etc. Boycott Olympics in Nazi Germany A wide movemeant is developing in many countries throughout the sworlad against participation in the 1936 Olympic Games scheduled to be held in Nazi Germany. YOUTH ACTION COMMITTEE ACTIVE The Central Youth Action Com- mittee has within the last week been utilizing the various means at their disposal to obtain permission for a tag-day, which it is intended will be held in the near future. The pro- eeeds of the tag-day will be eiven to the Longshoremen and Seamen to assist them in their struggle. Committees were elected to ap- proach the various aldermen and the chief of police with the object in mind of securing the tag-day. The last delegation to interview Chief Foster received the followings reply that “under no circumstances will permission for a tag-day in Vancouver be granted.” The authorities are up to their old tricks in attempting to intimidate the youth. The Youth Action Committee is taking definite steps to still further absorbe the youth organizations that have mot as yet become a part of the Youth Action Committee. The manner through which this is being done is through the initiating of Dis- trict Youth Conferences for the pur- pose of setting up District Youth Action Committees to conduct acti- vity in aid of the longshoremen and seamen within their area. Athletic Union, was presented with 4 resolution by a committee repre- senting the American Youth Con- eress, The resolution demanded that the United States refuse to par- ticipate in the 1936 Olympics. The discrimination by the Nazis against the Jews and Catholics makes it impossible for them to compete in the Olympic tryouts and eames. There can be no fairplay and sportsmanship in a country whose government sponsors racial discrimination. Mr. Mahoney stated that he was against American participation in. the Olympics and that he would vote agains tthis participation.

Defence News WORK PREVENTS BULLETIN Due to the pressing business con- cernine® the annual District Conyen- tion, the Publicity-Education Dept., apologizes for the fact that no bul- letin was issued last week and that mone will be issued for this week. The department is very busy tabu- jating the report of the Convention which is very lengthy and which contains yaluable information for all branch members and the next issue of the bulletin will be printed Sept. ij. We trust that our members will excuse the delay, which is unfor- tunate. SERIOUS CHARGE NEW WESTMINSTER, Aug. 10. —owW. Kirkbride, Longshoreman, has een added to two others, Goodwin and Oliver, on the charge of “rob- pery with violence.” Ajithough the Grown’s evidence is of the flimsiest nature, the C.L.D.l. is taking no chances and is providing strong de- fense. This is due to the railroading of Tongshoremen strikers by labor- hatine magistrates of New Wrest- minster on perjured evidence in the past. FRENCH SENTENCED TO TWO MONTHS VANCOUVER, Aug. 26.—William Wrench was today sentenced by Mag- istrate Matheson to two months, while Robert Mains was acquitted on charges of ‘‘assault.” These wor- kers, both Longshoremen, were out on bail and were defended by the C.L.D.L.

The D.H.G. appeals to all branches to give this comrade every possible assistance. Macauley will leave Van- couyer next weelk and will be ac- companied by one of the longshore- men. INVESTIGATION VANCOUVER, Aug. 19—H. Bail- ey and S. Farrell, two seamen, were today held for several hours on a warrant executed for the purposes of “investigation.” They were later released when police failed to pin anything on them. “WALICIOUS DAMAGE TO PROPERTY” VANCOUVER, Aug. 20. — James Wolf, J.

Hard Work On Relief Job: Starvation Wages o Food for Work - Days, Other Days Go Hungry Wre have to work hard on the Still Greek project with the pick and shovel, even though we are underfed due to being on direct relief for months before starting work. Tf a man stops to rest for one moment, there are informers plant— ed amongst us by the boss, and then wwe are threatened with being fired off the job, and with beng cut off relief. Work and “Wages” Our wages amount to 25 per cent over the ordinary relief allowance. ‘We are paid at the rate of 50 cents per hour and work seven hours a day. Thus the rate allowed is $28 for a man and wife for a month. A man and wife and one ehild is al- lowed to earn $34 for a month. Out of this we have to pay rent, light, and fuel or gas, and out of the re- mainder we have to provide our families with food and other neces- sities of life. All-Night Lineup If we apply for a elothing allow- ance we have to line up all night to set a number, and then we only get a few rags the sane as the work- ers who are on direct relief. Most of us find that we can just manage +o diss3t enough food to eat during the time we are working. The rest of jhe time we have to either bez some food or =o hungry. This is the plan of Mayor MeGeer. Our only remedy is militant organization and action. RELIEF WORKER. — SUBSCRIBER LOOKS AHEAD Prince George, B.

J. PRATER Posibly the outstanding feature of the conference was unity and order, which in itself speaks volumes for your future. The promptness in which yo uopened your convention and the efficiceney in forming your Committees shoull be highly com- mended. The outstanding SID Fie weakness .of the convention was in self-cri- ticism. This feature if properly used could be the most helpful in developing more enthusiasm for fu- jure activity. The delegates seemed not to understand this very clearly, allowing too many loopholes for pas- Sivity, which may fail to arouse im- mediate action in branehes. One suggestion I would like to make, Which may be kept in mind for your next convention, and that is, the great care in selecting upon your resolutions committee, at least one who is fully familiar with world problems as well as local, so as to build up a greater international sol- darity. Too much stress cannot be used in building up the Labor Defender, because that is the basic reason for fhe existence of the C.L.D.L., and being without proper publicity is like a man who is lost, he Knows where he is, but nobody else does. Your convention as a whole was a real inspiration to me. I can take back to California many valuable things which will assist us in reach- ing your development. When I turn on the radio and hear a worker speak, and tenn of the struggles on your waterfront and then—to hear him say that the C.1L.D.L. has full charge of the responsibility of the arrested workers, and to hear him advise his ralio audience that you are doing a good job of it, and have their entire cConfidence—let me tell you, fellow workers, on behalf of the California 1.L.D., that you are doing a great work, and indicate you fave the proper approach to the problem of defense. UNITE BURNABY RELIEF WORKERS VANCOUVER, Aug. 27—The reg- ular bi-monthly meeting of the Re- lief Workers’ Union held at the Sil- yer Slipper Hall last Wednesday, Aus. 21, decided to assist the Burn- aby workers set up a branch union there for relief workers. Two delegates were elected to go to Burnaby for this purpose. Mr. McGGayvin was elected secretary temporarily in place of Chapel. It Was also decided to send two dele- sates to the C.C.F. Unemployment Council to find out the reason for an allezed statement of one of the C.C.F. leading members to the effect that “the relief workers are scabs.” The next- meeting of the Relief Workers’?

This could have remained unnoticed only by a person who is either the conscious servant of the bourgeoisie or is politically dead, does not see life from behind the dusty pages of bourgeois books, is permeated through and through by bourgeois democratie prejudices, becomes the lackey of the bour- gecisie.—(Lenin on Bourgeois and Proletarian Democracy in his com- mentaries on lessons on the Paris Conimune.)

Journal,” issue No. 6, June, 1935, Wol. SLVIT, from which we reprint the article, which will need no further comment from us. We quote the bankers (empha- Sis ours): We must proceed with CAU- TION and guard well every move made, for the lower order of the people are ALREADY showing Signs of restless commotion. Pru- dence will, therefore, dictate a policy of APPARENTLY yield- ing to the popular will until ALL OUR PLANS are so far consuni- mated that we can DECLARE our designs without fear of an OR- GANIZED RESISTANCE. “The FARMERS’ Alliance and the LABOR ORGANIZATIONS in the United States should be care- fully watched by our trusted men, and we must tale inmmediate steps’ to CONTROL these organizations or DISRUPT them. “At their coming conventions our men must attend and direct their movements, or else there will be set on foot such antagonism to our designs as may REQUIRE FORCE LTO OVERCOME. This at the present time would be prema- iure. WE ARE NOT READY FOR SUCH A CRISIS. CAPITAL must protect itself m every possible man- ner through COMBINATION and legal action. The COURTS must be called to our aid, debts must be foreclosed as soon as possible. When through a process of law the COMMON PEOPLE have lost their homes, they will be more TRACTABLE and EASILY GOV- ERNED through the influence of the STRONG ARM of the Govern- ment, applied by a central power of IMPARTIAL wealth, UNDER CONTROL OF LEADING FINAN- CIBRS. This truth is well lmown among our PRINCIPAL MEN now engaged in forming an DWPERI- ALISM of CAPITAL TO GOVERN THE WORLD. “While they are doing this the PEOPLE must be kept in a condi- tion of political antagonism. The question of tariff reform must be urged through the organization known as the Democratic Party and the question of protection with reciprocity must be forced to view through the Republican Party. By THUS DIVIDING THE VOT- ERS we can get thera to spend their energy FIGHTING QUES- TIONS OF NO IMPORTANCE TO US, except as it teaches to lead the common herd. “Thus by discreet action we can SECURE ALL that has been so fenerously planned and success- fully accomplished.”’—Vol 47, June, 135, Issue No. 6, Machinists’s Jour- ~nal.

(Repeat) WOMAN’S HEAD CHOPPED OFF Another woman, Frau Jueneman, an expectant mother, was beheaded in Berlin, Germany. She was the fourth woman to Jose her head on the chopping block during the bloody fascist rezime. She was on relief and the death of her small children was charged against her, it being alleged that she squandered the relief money in eafes. But what likely happened is that the Nazis blamed her in order to cover up the malnutrition of hundreds of thousands of children and the death of many of them from inadequate relief, and chopped her head off as a warning to other moth- ers against complaining. STAY UP LATE TO WATCH JOB NANAIMO, Aus. 26.— Hundreds of workers here stayed up until af- ter midnight during last week to watch the work of laying the girders on the crossarms of the approach that is being erected for the Govern- ment Assembly Whart. In Vancouver it is a common sight to a hundred workers lined up on the curb of the sidewalk when half a dozen workers and steam rol- ler are repairing the roadway. Workers figure that if ‘Work and see Wa are not available then the next best thing is to feast their eyes on other workers engaged in some work of construction. To wit- ness more than half a dozen workers employed on some job is becoming novelty: TUBERCULAR IS BADLY TREATED Calls for United Front From a Sick-bed I am suffering from the dreaded tuberculosis. I am in Canada 26 years, having come here from Eu- rope in 1909. TI worked in the woods of B. C. most of those years and spent the money I earned in Van- couver. In 1933 I was unable to ob- tain work, and had to apply for re- lief eventually. The relief I received was insufficient to maintain my health and eventually I developed T.GB. from constant colds, being un- able to resist them due to my under- mourished condition. I applied to the clinic for treat- ment and was examined twice by Dr. Dunbar, He gave me cough medicine. It did me no good, in fact I believe it made me worse. I Sot another examination, this time by Dr. MacDonald, who obtained for me an examination of my chest by X-ray and sputum analysis. Too Dear Por Relief Cases Then it was established that I had the dreaded disease. I asked to be sent to Kamloops, or to the General Hospital. This was denied me on the erounds that I was a relief Case. The doctor stated that the cost at the hospital would be 70 cents a Gay and at the sanitorium at Tran- quille $3.00 a day. Last April I was sent to the camp hospital at Deroche, and later to i500 IDAHO PEA PICKERS STRIKE FOR HIGHER PAY GOISH, Idaho, Aug. 15.—1500 pee field workers are on strike in Tetor County, Ida., against intolerable wages and working conditions.
