United Front
Celebration

Communist and C.C.F.
Speakers Tell of Soviet
Progress

For many years the anniversary
celebration of the establishment of
the Soviet Union has been. observed
at Webster's Corners, but this year
Was the first time the celebration
had a united front. international
aspect.

A meeting and concert was held in
the Winnish Wall, at which the
speakers were Bert Samson of the
Communist Party and Jimmy Cam-
eron of the C.C.F. Both told of the
wonderful advances and Successes
achieved in the Soviet Union. Com-
rade Samson stressed the part play-
ed by the Communist party in the

revolution and in the building of
Socialism.

Comrade Cameron, although not
speaking officially for the C.Cr.,

stressed the importance of the unit-
ed efforts of all workers in defense
of the Soviet Union and in all our
daily struggles towards Socialism in
our own country.

Included in the programme were
a Short play in Pinnish by the I°.0.;
violin duets and songs by the
Ulrainian comrades from Hammond;
Sl osoby a comrade from Pitt Mead-
ows; songs by some of the Webster's
Corners Pioneers, and other items.

NAT. CONGRESS
OF ANTI-WAR
LEAGUE TO MEET

Called for Dec. 6, 7, 8;
Expect Over 1000
Delegates

Opening on Dee. Gth with a great
Peace Rally at the Maple Leaf
Gardens, in Toronto, the Canadian
Leasue Against War and Fascism
will start their annual congress,
which will continue for three days.
Commencing organization in 1933 the
League held its first congress in
Qetober, 1984, at which 305 delegates
from § provinces of Canada attend-
ed, representing 357,000 people.

This year the League expect to
have at least a thousand delegates
attend. Besides elected delegates
from organizations the League has
invited fraternal delegates of pro-
minent note in the anti-war and
anti-Fascism movement such as
Heywood Broun, noted American
columnist, Mary Van Kellek, noted
economist, and Bishop Francis fran-
cis L. McConnel, of Brooklyn, N.Y.

With intensification of the war
plans by the Bennett government
and of the rest of the Imperialist
countries, the growth and develop-
ment of organized resistance of the
comimon people against war becomes
of paramount importance.

The League is awake to this ur-
gzent work and has issued an at-
tractive monthly magazine “Action”

WHERE ITALY GETS MATERIAL
~ TOCARRY OUTITS ROBBER WAR

France and the United States are
the main exporters of iron and steel
and much scrap metal to Italy. An-
nual imports of these materials
amount to 800,000 tons.

63,320 tons of copper are imported
into Italy annually. This comes from
the United States, Chile and Poru-
gal_

The chief suppliers of nickel, of
which 1,774 tons are imported, are
England, and the United States. (No
doubt much of the nickel from the
U.S.A. is Canadian.—Ed.).

Imports of rubber amount to 21,770
tons. Rubber is imported from Bri-
tish India and the Dutch Indies. Cot-
ton also is imported to the amount
of 187,165 tons. This comes mainiy
from the U.S.A., Egypt and India.
Wrom the Argentine 612,000 tons of
wool are imported, from Australia
26,000 tons and from South Africa
§,000tons.

These figures prove that Italy im-
ports a lot of stuff besides finished
war material. Daily shipments of
such materials are leaying ports in
the U.S., England, Holland, France
and other countries. These are ma-
terials which the Fascists urgently
need to carry on their war in Africa.

The seamen and harbor workers in
all countries must make it their chief
task to expose and prevent these
shipments by means of united

Tron, Steel, Copper and
Nickel Go From This

Continent

The following data is supplied by
the Press Service of the Internation-
al Seamen and Harbor Workers and
clearly shows where Fascist Italy
imports material to carry out her
robber war on Ethiopia.

The tremendous importance of and
effects on Italian exports and im-
ports of the prevention of all Italian
transports becomes clear from the
following figures:

Although Italy

exports foodstiffs
there is a surplus of imports over
exports of such foodstuffs as _ fol-
lows: 64.5 millions, Lire, sugar 142.8
million Lire, produce necessary for
cattle-breeding 110.4 million Lire.

Aiso grain is imported into Italy in
large quantities.

The annual import of coal and
coke amounts to 12,700,000 tons.
From Rotterdam alone 53 ships with
390,000 tons of coal sailed for Italian
Ports, last month. This coal is tran-
Shipped in Rotterdam and originates
mainly from England and Germany.

Antwerp also handles a big share
of these shipments. Not only coal
Shipments were increased lately but
also shipments of ore. In September,
20 Ttalian ships called at this port, 9

which reached a circulation of 10.000
in its third month of publication.
This shows conclusively that the
people of Canada are rapidly awaken-
ine to the imminent menace of war

and Fascism in ous midst and are
prepared to support the Leasue and
unite the forces of the common

Capitalist Class Have No
Fear of ‘Technocracy
Incorporated’

By FRED GRANGE.

“Technocracy Incorporated” play-
ed to da full house in the Star The-
atre on Sunday afternoon. The lead-
ing part, in fact the whole Show,
Was performed by Director-in-Chief
Howard Setot.

“Studied Nonchalance” is the only
term that could describe the manner
in which statistics calling for astron-
omical figures, reunded off with a
window stream upon the audience.

Qne thing is plain. Howard Scott
despises, and without sayine so,
hates the workers. ‘“‘Saps,’’ ““Dum-
bells,” ete., were the words most
frequently cn his lips when refer-
ring to the working class, of which
class his audience was made up al-
most one hundred per cent.

With ecollosal gall, this circle of
world-be dictators, self-elected, place
themselves on a plane above society,
and then proceed to explain how
they will pull that society out of the
mire. with or without its aid, and
if necessary, in spite of its Opposi-
tion. Phinkines, the making of a
decision, these were the hardest
things that msn is celled upon to do.
and to the average worker they were
impossible, said this bundle of super-
iority complex.

He was asked
would overcome the
tion that might be
Street, Montreal, or
to a scheme that would abolish the
Price System and with it, Profit.
Would it be by way of Storm Troops?
He replied that he and his asso-
eiates abhorred fascism, Communism
and all other “isms,” and then in
the next breath said that the end
would be accomplished by way of a
“uniformed armed organization.’

Scott Is a Friend of Capitalism.

The very fact that the Chief Tech-
nocrat Howard Scott can cross the
line between the WU.S_A. and Canada
lecturing on his pet hobby without
interference by the immigration
authorities of either coutnry shows
very plainly that he is a friend of
the boss class, and capitalism is quite

how Technocracy
Slight opposi-
felt on James
on Wall Street,

Same as far as Scott's activity in
concerned.
The system in Soviet Russia was

referred to as Capitalism with a few
minor elements subtracted. He ad-
mitted, however, that private prop-
erty held for profit was one of these
“minor” elements.

This group will bear watching and
may be the answer to the call of
Monopoly Capital for an “American”
brand of Fascism.

In the old days when the South
wind blew in Sweden, coming of
course from the direction of Den-
mark, it had also to pass over a
vast expanse of marshes and there-
fore did not small so good. The
Swedes, as a joke, used to hold their
noses and say, ““There‘s something
rotten in Denmark.’ Methinks the
South wind is blowing again.

Farmers’ Personal
Property

We were told while -the Natural
Products Marketing Act was under
discussion that it would be demo-
cratic and that there would be a

vote on it, but when we come to read
the Act itself what do we find.

Section 3 (Paragraph 1). The
Governor-in-Council may establish
a board to be known as the Do-
minion Marketing Board, to resu-
lute marketing of natural products
as hereinafter provided.

Section 3 (Paragraph 2). The
Board shall consist of such mem-
bers as the Governor-in-Council
may from time to time determine,
and each meniber shall hold office
during pleasure and shall receive
such remuneration as the Gover-
nor-in-Council shall determime.

Now you people who still have a
vote and think you still have a hand
in running OUR country. WHO has
the say now, YOU or the Boss Class?
Did you have a vote as to the Gov-
emor-in-Council? Let us go a little
farther on to Section 3 (Par. 6):

The Board shall be a body cor-
porate and shall have power for
the purpose of this Act to acquire,
hold and dispose of real and per-
sonal property-

Here we see a small group of men

producers land and machinery, but
also over his household and personal

The recent happenings in B.C. on
the potato question should convince
us all of the extent that the govern-
ment will go whenever necessity
arises.

In Manitoba the stockmen and in
Alberta the poultry pool tried to put
over the Act, but the -prairie sud-

Fishermen To
Hold Annual

Convention

Unity of All Fishermen
For Prices, Conditions
Is Main Item

VANCOUVER, Nov. 14.—Applica-
tion of Trade Union Unity to the
fishing indusiry by all sections of
fishermen and cannery workers will
be the keynote of the Fourth Annual
Convention of the Fishermen and
Cannery Workers’ Industrial Union
to be held in Vancouver on December
i4 and 15th.

One of the most exploited sections
of the working class is the fisher-
men on this coast. Restriction of
fishing in certain areas disguised by
the government and the boss pack-
ers, aS conservation of fish, ruthless
cutting down of fish prices, and
high charges for fear and oiljetc:,
have made it that the fishermen in
many instances face the winter after
a hard season's’ fishing with little
or no money to carry them over the
winter, and are compelled to apply
for relief as soon as fishiig closes.

Tt is to combat these conditions
that prompts the union to appeal to
all sections of the industry to send
delegates to the convention. The
union has sent out out a call to all
its locals and to all known organiza-
tions of fishermen to send delesates
and to prepare their discussion for
contribution at the convention so
that united planned action can be
taken in the coming fishing season.

The union asks that delesat re-
port anytime at 615 West Hastings
St., at Room 20, for any further in-
formation.

health, and the women packed the

Nazis Kill
Athlete

Jewish Football Player
Murdered

By MAX ROWE

Basen King, star Jewish football
player, for a Polish team, was beat-
en to death by Nazi spectators dur-
ing a football game on October 31,
in Germany, when he scored what
was thought to be the winnine goal.

The death of this Jewish athlete is
not the only brutal Nazi assault that
has oceurred in Germany with re-
sards to sports. Edmund Baumegart-
ner, member of a football team from
Rybnik, Poland, was brutally beaten
to death by an enraged mob of Nazi
Spectators and football players in
Ratibor, Germany, after he had with-
stood the harrowing and insulting
remarks by Nazi onlookers and Ger-
man football players.

With cries of “Kill the Jew,’’ the
mob pounced upon him and knocked
him to the ground. he was bleeding
freely, and when he tried to struggle
to bis feet a Nazi footballer kicked
him in the face, knocking out his
right eye.

As a result of his injuries he died,
So badly beaten was he that his
mother could not recognize him.

Sportsmen are Indignant

Indignation is bein= expressed
throughout the world, by leading
sportsmen and pregressive people,
over this brutal treatment of visit-
ing sportsmen to Germany.

Pascist German newspapers are
attempting to cover-up these attacks
by describine them as “deplorable,”
and hoping through this means to
Whitewash the occurrences, so that
the Olympie Games to be held in
Berlin, in 1936, will not be affected.

Boycott Olympics

The beautiful tradition that has
been handed down from decade to de-
cade as the Acme of the amateur
sports world—the Olympics Games,
must not be debased by being held in
a country where racial discrimina-
tion and hatred has been stirred to a
frenzy bordering on insanity.

Hitler and his sadists must not be
allowed to use the Glympic Games
aS an oceasion for glorifying the

Pascist regime of big capital.

Reactionary

Leaders

And Recent Strikes

By LONGSHOREMAN

Experience of recent strikers on
the Pacific Coast of saw-mill work-
ers, loggers, longshoremen and sea-
men, have shown that the reaction-
ary leaders, when unable to disrupt
at the outset, choose the most ap-
propriate moment during the strike
to knife the fighting workers in the
back.

Taking advantage of their influ-
ence on a certain section of the
workers, and knowing that the most
passive elements will always follow
those who propose the ending of the
strike, the reactionaries systemati-
cally endeayor to disrupt one mass
movement after another.

Who Should Decide

Jf we loolk back we will find that
unity on the Coast was disrupted by
means of negotiations that were car-
med on behind the backs of the
workers, without permission or con-
sent of the strikers. We have several
instances where similar activities
were carried on from the very outset
of the lock-out of the loneshoremen.

That is why the most militant
section of the membership is faced
with the task, during the strike, of
carrying on a determined fight to
have a general meeting of the strik-
ers decide the policy of conducting
the strike and the terms on which
the conflict is te end.

Faced With New Problems

In all recent Strikes, the strike-
breaking: tactics of the reactionaries
led to a situation where the majority
of the workers returned to work
(with the exception of the longshore-
men and seamen in Seattle, San
Wranecisco, ete., in 1934) and the mili-
tant leadership were concretely faced
with the problem of whether the
struggle should or could be continued
by the longshoremen and seamen in
those particular districts where they
(the militants) still had the decisive
influence.

The continuation of the strike by
the longshoremen and seamen after
the general strike had been called off
in 'Frisco, was perfectly correct both
politically and tactically.

Demoralizes Strikers

Of course, striking under such cir-
cumstances is extremely difficult as
the workers strength is already shat-
tered. The retreat effected by the
strike-breaking reactionaries and the
bosses’ agents demoralizes the ranks
of the fighters, but nevertheless the
continuation of the strike in certain
cases is absolutely necessary—other-
wise all the strikers in the future
will be disrupted by the systematic

strike-breakineg tactics of the re-
actionaries.
Continuation of the strike after

some 150 of our members have re-
turned, demands the utmost tenacity,
exceptional solidarity, a high degree
of class consciousness, and inexhaus-
tible energy on the part of all who
remain in the battle. It is only under
these conditions that it is possible,
not only to carry on, but to win this
battle.
What is Required

I may also point out that although
some strikes have failed, the conclu-
sions must not be drawn that by
carrying on our struggle is incorrect.
Ti is merely necessary to draw the
conclusion that we must take addi-
tional measures for the organization
and mobilization of the masses
ftkroughout the country and the
Pacific Coast to aid us in the fisht

for neither the Shipping, Wederation,

the government, nor the city autho-

rities can say that the waterfront

strike is not crippling B.C. ports.

BOSSES PROPOSE
WORKER SCHOOL

Sinister Scheme of Boss
Loggers for Port Al-
berni Mill Workers

By WORKER CORRESPONDENT

PORT ALBERNI, Noy. 9.—The
Boss Loggers Association called a
meeting of workers in the town here
on Noy. 8th, at a church on Fifth
Avenue. A representative of the
Boss Loggers’ Association spoke to
the crowd composed of 60 mill work-
ers. He told them that they do not
know their work, and proposed as
a solution that a school be started
where the workers, free of charge,
would be taught how to srade Jumb-
er and other thines that would be
of benefit to the workers.

Many of these workers have work-
ed mills for years and if they don’t
know how to grade lumber now, they
never will.

- Yo Prevent Organization

The real motive behind this school
scheme of the bosses is to inerease
the profits of the company—the
A.P.L. The bosses no doubt feel that
some workers who are not now skill-
ed will attend, and thus the number
of skilled workers will be increased
and a reserve army will be created.
Then the wages of the present sSkill-
ed workers can be reduced.

The school will also help to divert
the attention of the workers away
from organization. The real prob-
lems of the workers have nothing at
all to do with the lack of skill, but
arise from a different source alto-
gether.

How to Stop the Speed-Up is Mam

Problem

The main problem confronting the
workers in the mill is the methods
to be adopted to fight against the
terrific speed-up system of the Al-
berni Pacific Lumber Cos. (A.P.L.)
and of Bloedell Stuart and Welch
Co., and against the starvation school
for training workers to be more ef-
ficient in grading lumber, but a
powerful organization of mill work-
ers, linked up with the loggers, that
will make the employers pay a de-
cent wage and make tolerable work-
ing conditions for the workers.

HELP DEFEND .
THE CAMP BOYS

Thirty-two camp boys will face
trial in Regina on the 21st of Jan-
uary. Four of them are charged un-
der Section 98 in connection with the
riots of July ist.

There is urgent need of defense
funds to conduct their defense at the
trial, to help to get witnesses there
and for all the necessary work in
connection with it.

tee are collecting funds for the
double purpose of helping to defend

EVICTED FAMILY
LEFT 10 STARVE

Mother and Children
Hounded By Brutal

Prairie Council

By CARL HICHIN.

WINNIPEG, Nov. 9.—For cold cal-
culated brutality and callous perse-
cution of the impoverished, the mu-
nicipality of Morden, Man., is earn-
ing for itself the deep hatred of all
progressive elements acquainted with
its recent activities.

Families, with young children, are
beins pitched out onto the street
and left without any provision of
shelter whatsoever. Three such oc-
Currences, each one sufficiently in-
human to make the blood boil of
any one with a spark of humanity
in him, have been recently unearth-
ed by Alderman Penner.

Mrs. Peters, a mother of fifteen
living children, deserted by her hus-
band, was pitched out onto the
street, and had to find shelter in the
basement of a house that had been
knocked down. There was no win-
dow in the place, and the Peters
kiddies sot from the dump head an
old car windshield to let light into
the place.

She was on the verge of starva-
tion, and her youns boys taking to
the freights so as not to encroach
on the meagre food supply, when she
came to Winnipes. The efforts of
the local unemployed organizations
and Communist Alderman Penner
got her on relief in Brooklands. For
this Morden municipality had to pay.
Now this murderous outfit are try-
ing to:.force her back to Morden.
Penner is fighting it tooth and nail.

Family Housed in a Church.

Jacob Teichreb, of the same mu-
nicipality, along: with his wife and
kiddies, were thrown out on to the
Street. The only shelter they could
find was in a church. The under-

nourished, erying kids eaught
measles, and caused the church to

be closed for several weeks while the
kids were quarantined in it.

Tom Hampton, with his wife and
family, suffered like treatment.
Faced with being out on the street
in the cold—the thermometer is night-
ly down below zero here now—he
broke into an empty house. He was
arrested and charged with breaking
and entering.

ENJOYING SPORT
VICARIOUSLY

A letter was printed recently in
the Vancouver “Sun,” signed by two
slaye camp inmates, expressing:
football teams of Spencer's and
Woodward's departmental stores at
Camp 206, White Rock, B.C.

Like the workers in industry, the
Slave camp workers are too tired,
and have not the time nor the eneresy
to play, so they watch others do it
for them.

Sitting on a hard seat, or stand-
ing, for which privileze they often
pay, they try to see in the player
their own selves, and work up inter-
est in the outcome.

The concerns supply the teams so
that a dozen or so out of a few thou-
sand employees do the playing for
all the rest whose energies are not
permitted to be wasted by play.
How different in the land where
the workers rule—the Soviet Union.
There ALLL the workers are in teams,
And all play, not vicariously, trying
to visualize themselves in the play
of others, but as actual players.

In Canada the sportin= instinct is
not Satisfied by actual participation
in sport, in playing, but in watching
professionals — whether they call
themselves amateurs or not — per-
form.

The best game in which the in-
mates of Camp 206 could participate
is the worthwhile same of all slave
camp workers organized into one
ereat team, the Relief Camp Work-
ers’ Union, against the forces of capi-
talism for the abolition of the relief
camps.

ANTI-WAR MEET
HELD AT VICTORIA

VICTORIA, Nov. 11.— The Wo-
men’s League for Social Justice held
an Anti-War Meeting in the Cham-
ber of Commerce on the night of
November 6, with speakers repre-
sentative of church, returned men,
youth and women of Victoria. Mrs.
Bateson opened the mectinge by voic-
ing the aims and objects of the
Women’s League, followed by an ad-
dress by the Rey. C. G MacKenzie,
who referred to the root causes of
War as he visualized them in the
present economic, political and social
life of the world, emphasizing the
danger in the militaristic policy of
Italy. Clive LPhomas, speaking for
youth, declared the great problem
facing them today were unemploy-
ment and the menace of war, and
in conclusion he called upon the
youth of Victoria to organize against
war in co-operation with the Wo-
men’s League for Social Justice.

Speaking as a returned man, D. G
Gloag gave a fine description of war
and its consequences, while Mrs, K.
A. Bell made a direct appeal to the
women of Canada to organize as
“militant pacifists.” Mrs. Raymond
acted as an efficient chairwoman.
