THE STRUGGLE IN THE
LUMBER INDUSTRY

HE LUMBER barons and their hirelings of
the press and radio are trying to work up
antiforeien prejudices in their struggle to con-
finue their savage exploitation of the workers,
their murdering of scores of them every year
because of the inhuman speed-up and the ab-
sence of adequate protection, and to prevent or-
ganization. Not so long ago they were raying
against the Lumber Workers’ Industrial Union
because it was affiliated with the Workers’ Unity
League, and therefore, so they claimed, under
“Red” leadership. ‘(Control and direction from

Moscow” was the how! the bosses set up.

Now that the workers in the lumber industry,
in the interest of unity, have severed their con-
nection with the W.U.L., and have affilated with
the American Federation of Labor, the bosses
and their hirelings are raving against “U.S. con-
trol’ because the union is affiliated with a body
with headquarters in that country. They say
nothing about American control of the lumber
industry in B.C., however; they do not tell the
people that 80 percent of the capital invested in
the industry is American capital, and that the
exploitation of the Canadian workers in the in-
dustry is for the purpose of further enriching
American capitalists. The workers of B.C. are
being bled white, and the forests stripped and.
ruined, in order that riches can be taken out of
the province by foreigners.

The people of B.C. remember only too well
how the provincial police were put at the disposal
of the Spokane, Wash., capitalists, who own the
eoal mine at Corbin, in order to bludgeon Cana-
dian miners into accepting starvation wages.
The people have not forgotten the unexampled
brutality of the Pattullo-Sloan police fiends on
that occasion.

The workers in the lumber industry in B.C.
claim and assert the right to decide what union
they will organize into, and to what body they
will affiliate, and they resent the insolence of
the foreion lumber bosses in telling them what
that union should be.

The fact is that the bosses fight bitterly against
any union in the industry except a company
pnion, although they have their own boss asso-
ciations connected with similar organizations 10
the U.S. They howl about ‘foreign control,”
either Moscow or American, but the union con-
trol that they really object to and will do their
dirtiest utmost to prevent is workers control.

The issue in the present dispute between the
lumber workers and the bosses is the right ot the
workers to organize into a union of their own
choosing. The fight was precipitated by the
bosses when they fired men because they exer-
cised that inalienable right in the camps around
Gowichan Lake. The bosses want docile, un-
organized slaves in the camps, but they will find
that they have an unending fight on their hands
so long as they try to prevent the workers from
organizing. They may as well make up their
minds that the workers will not accept the
American Plan or open shop in the industry, and
will oppose just as strenuously any attempt to
set up the vicious company union system.

TAX EXEMPTIONS FOR THE RICH

HE DUNNING bankers’ budget has been

accepted by the House of Commons after a
fight against it by the few C.C.F. members. As
was pointed out in this journal last week, the
budget increases the already grievous burden
carried by the poor by the increase of the sales
tax on the necessities of life, although there was
no increase in the tax on the incomes of the rich.
Tn covering up this class favouritism the Kang
government of bankers, insurance companies and
the G.P.R. resorted to their usual deception; an
increase in taxes on the earnings of corporations
of one and one-half percent was provided. But
these earnings are net earnings—atter all sal-
aries are paid. The real earnings are thus not
revealed, however, when the big stock-holders
appoint themselves as executives and officers
whether they do anything or not, and vote them-
selves abnormal salaries out of the earnings.

For instance, the General Motors Corporation
whose huge factories are in Oshawa, Ont., and
is known for its inhuman exploitation of its
workers, pays out every year the following sums
to some of its owners in the form of “Salaries” :
W. S. Knudson, $201,895; Alfred P. Sloan,
$901,693; Donaldson Brown, $134,521; Chas.
FF. Kittering, $134,496; John L. Pratt, $1354,-
512- Alfred J. Fisher, $128,701; Edward ans
Fisher, $128,701; Lawrence Fisher, $125,918;
John T. Smith, $125,000; Wrm- Fisher, $121-
4s8- R. H. Grant, $114,096; and J. F. Miller,
$110,667.

Here is a total of more than a million and a
half dollars handed over to these capitalists
which does not come under the category of the
corporation’s earnings because it is “expenses”
and on such incomes there is no increase in tax.
Tf the profit of the corporation was $1,069,990
for the vear there would be no tax whatever on
its earnings because it would all be paid out as
“calaries, and there is no increase in the tax on
this “personal” income.

The slaves of the General Motors
will suffer from an inerease in taxes l
it every day through the sales tax. Such is the
fruit of a Liberal government. — The 2C:C-E-
members should see how futile is their mere
talking in the House of Commons unless they
are backed up by a united front outside parlia-
ment, one that by its fighting activities would
give force and effect to protests in parliament.

WEAKENING THE FRONT

HE RIGHT WING majority of the Provin-

cial Council of the C-C_F.. Ontario Section,
has beeun a purge of those elements who unite
with other labor organizations in the feht against
capitalism. These leaders, with Graham Spry
at their head and with the blessing of Woods-
srorth, have expelled such prominent C.C.F.
members as Rey. Ben Spence, James MacArthur
Connor and Mrs. Jean Lang.

And what was their crime? Was it that they
aided the capitalists or the capitalists’ sovern-
ment? Was it that they were dividing the worl
ers in the struggle? Or was it that they were not
sincere supporters of the C.C.F.? It was none
of these things; it was. precisely, because they
acted im a contrary manner, the specific reason
siven being that they participated, together with
Communists and many other organizations, in-

eluding trade unions, in a mighty May Day
demonstration in Toronto! ‘

The Rieht Wing in the C.C.F. leadership is
determined to follow in the footsteps of the
Social-Demoeratie leaders of Germany and Aus-
tria and keep the workers of Canada divided and
impotent against the rowing offensive of capi-
talism and the rising menace of fascism. The
Social Democratic government of Germany used
their police to shoot down workers in a May Day
demonstration which was directed against rising
Hitler fascism; Spry and his fellow opponents
ot the United Front expel members and disrupt
and disorganize the anti-capitalist front for simi-
lar activities.

Not one of these splitters of the working class
ean say that the May Day celebrations were not
of great assistance in uniting the workers and
mobilizing them for stru@ele against capitalism.
Then why do they oppose them even to the ex-
tent of weakening the C.C.F., and try to prevent
a recurrence of similar manifestations of united
front struggle? It is because they are opposed to
unity and for class collaboration. They want to
erib, cabin and confine resistance to capitalism
to mere verbal protest in parliament as “‘His
Majesty’s Loyal Opposition,” while stifling all
workings class activity outside parliament.

Much can be done by militant working class
representatives in a capitalist parliament, but
unless the masses are aroused, or@anized and
united and drawn into struggle, even the most
honest representatives in parliament will find
themselves powerless. Their struggle against the
sales tax furnishes ample proof of this, as did
their protests in the House against the slave
camps. It was not until the Slave Camp workers
themselves organized and went on stmke and
engaged in their trek to Ottawa, with a partially
effected United Front supporting them, that the
government was compelled to abolish the slave
camps! ,

The power of working class representatives in
parliament rests not in the debating ability or
oratory of individuals, but in the working class
organizations they represent and which give
them whatever strength they display and exer-
cise. To have any effect these organizations must
not be rendered passive nor their activities
lamited to voting on election days. To make the
voice ot labor effective in parliament or any other
bourgeois body, the working class throughout the
country must be militant, active, and at all times
showing its willingness and competence to fight
for those demands put forward by its representa-
tives. And above all, the representatives must be
able to show that there is a United Fv-ont of labor
ready to back up their demands. But this is just
what the Right Wing leaders of the C.C.F. do
not want, and so they resort to the most flagrant
splitting tactics to preyent it.

In B.C.. too, there is a Right Wing in the
leadership of the C.C.F. which is also against
the United Front, and has already won the ap-
probation of the enemies of labor, including the
fascist Tom MacInnis, for pronouncements
against the United Front.

The United Front will be achieved in spite of
the dead hand of Right Wing leaders. It will be
forged in the crucible of the class strugele by
the workers who with their backs to the wall and
feeling the stine of the capitalist economic and
political lash, are more and more, out of their
very need and sore plight, weleomine Commu-
nist and other support in their struggle.

“JUSTIFYING” THE PARK STICK-UP
HE WAVE of indignation which swept over
the city against the proposal to tax the eiti-

zens for the use of Stanley Park, which had
hitherto been free, for the benefit of the Jubilee
racket has moved the Jubilee Committee to ‘‘ex-
planations’ which are lame attempts at justi-
fication of the proposed encroachment on the
people’s privileges by the contemptible scheme
to filech money from the poor.

C. E. Thompson, chairman of the Jubilee
Board, issued a statement to the capitalist press
tor the purpose of pulling the wool over the
people’s eyes while the Jubilee promoters—and
beneficiaries—geo through their pockets. ‘Jubi-
lees cost money,” he says, and this is given as a
reason for taxing the people for the use of the
park. :

We have been regaled for months now with
stories of how much money the Jubilee would
bring into the city. It it will, why not get some
of it to pay the expenses, instead of making:
the poor people of the city pay them? Of if
citizens are to be taxed to meet those expenses,
why not take it from the big business interests
which undoubtedly will benefit by the influx of
suckers attracted to the city by means of high
pressure salesmanship ?

The workers of the city will not benefit from
the Jubilee orgy, although a few will get odd
jobs at starvation wages. Against these paltry
“benefits” they wil have to pay inereased prices ;
already they have been robbed by increased rents,
or evicted from their homes, because they could
not pay the increase.

The hotel companies, taxi companies, depart-
ment stores, drus stores, and houses of prostitu-
tion will make much money from the Jubilee;
why not tax fen, instead of further draiming
the blood from the emaciated bodies of the poor ?

No sophistries of Thompson or of any other
promoter of the Jubilee racket will still the storm
of protest which the propesd stick-up of poor
people entering Stanley Park has evoked.

The Jubilee gane’s hands must be jerked out of
strikers.

of the pockets of the common people.

The World
This Week

By F. B.
Ethicpia has been formally an-
nexed by fascist Italy, and Haile

Selassiei has fled the country, going
to Jerusalem on a British war yves-
sel.

Haile Selassie is down but not out
Wo man who owned i117 chests of
gold, silver and jewels could ever
be said to be out. He still has a
chance of blooming out as one of the
foremost capitalists of the Near
Fast. Gut it is mot because of his
sreat wealth that Haile Selassie will
be heard of again. He has Stated
that he will carry on the struggle
against Italy, whether from a desire
for revenge or from a hope of re-
gaining his throne the press does
not Say.

Palestine and the whole Eastern
Mediterranean area is today one of
the world’s greatest danger spots,
because it is there that the British-
Italian rivalry for control of the
trade route between Hurope and the
Far East may burst forth any time
in war. Consequently, Britain is not
passing up any bets of lining up on
her side all anti-Italian elements.
It would be strange if Selassie did
not from now on become a strony
supporter of British Imperialism in
the Near Hast.

The situation of the League of
Nations is complicated. Both Ethi-
opia and Italy are still members of
the League, and in last Monday's
meeting the Italian envoy walked
out in protest against the presence
of the Ethiopian representative, and
he is not likely to return as long as
the League recognizes the right of
Ethiopia to have a delegate. What
will the League do? If it persists in
recognizing Ethiopia it means that
Italy will withdraw altogether, thus
endangering the entire structure of
the League.

It is of litle avail for Anthony
Eden, and the British press to come
out now after the war is over and
condemn Italy’s treatment of Ethi-
opia, when for the past seven
months they have done practically
nothing to deter Mussolini from his
robber conquest. The real purpose
of these crocodile tears and belated
protestations is to build up a strong
anti-Italian sentiment, and to try if
possible to hamper Italian consolida-
tion in Ethiopia through a con-
tinuance of the commercial sanc-
tions that have been in force, and
to prevent Italy securing the finan-
cial assistance she so much needs.
Any strengthening of Mussolini in
North-east Africa menaces Britain’s
position mot only in the Mediter-
ranean but in the Far Hast as well,
and this is why Britain does not
want the League to collapse alto-
gether through the withdrawal of
Italy.

For its inability to come to the
aid of Hthiopia the League has lost
a tremendous amount of prestige
among its weaker members. It can
no longer be regarded as a protector
of the weak from the Imperialist
attacks of the strong nations, and if
it is to survive, something drastic in
the way of a reorganization will
have to be undertaken. The disap-
pearance of the League would be a
disaster, imperfect organization
though it is, for it is still the only
international organization through
which the nations have so far en-
deavored to settle their differences.
Its disappearance can only be fol-
lowed by a series of military al-
lianees between these nations, al-
liances entered into against the
threat of other alliances, all of
which would hasten the outbreak of
world war. The last barrier to world
war would have been removed.

Germany and Japan, both sources
of the war danger are out of the
League, and Italy appears on the
verge of withdrawing completely.
Would Germany and Japan be per-
mitted to re-enter? There could
hardly be any objection to this pro-
vided they gave adequate guarantees
to refrain from any aggressive acts
on fellow members of the League.
Certainly any move or reorganiza-
tion that would strengthen the
League as a preventer of world war
should be encouraged and supported.

‘No Admittance Charge To
Stanley Park,’ Say Women

Stanley Park Meant For
Enjoyment of Public;
Not Racketeers

The proposal that a section of
Stanley Park be given over to the
Jubilee Committee, and cut off from
the mass of the workers thro&gh
the medium of an admission charge,
has raised a storm of protest from
many sections of the city. And right-
ly so.

The Mothers’ Council is vigorous-
ly opposing the commercializing of
Stanley Park, and has lodged the
following protest with the City
Council. It will tell its own story:
City Council,

City of Vancouver.

Gentlemen,—The Mothers’ Council
at its regular meeting on Tuesday,
May 12, discussed some of the phases
of the coming Jubilee and we feel
that though the celebration of a
Jubilee is a good sentiment in many
respects, at the same time we are
compelled to take objection to one
particular ooint at this time.

We object strenuously to the pro-
posal that a section of Stanley Park
be converted into a “Coney Island”’
with the aim of profit at the ex-
pense of the residents of this city,

-taken from the people who must

the large majority of whom have
no recreation other than that pro-
vided by free access to any and
every part of Stanley Park,
Already Hastings Park has been

pay if they wish to go there.

In our opinion the Jubilee celebra-
tion is for the citizens of Vancou-
ver who built this city and who are
the ones entitled to celebrate it,
and the majority at this time can-
not do so if a charge is made.

It is therefore only fitting that
eur proposals as tax-payers be
taken into consideration. Our pro-
posals are:

1. That a section of Stanley
Park be loaned to the Jubilee
Committee by the people of Van-
couver for the Jubilee celebra-
tion only, and
2. That no admittance charge
be made, but the entire park be
left open to all during the day
and evening. =
Trusting that you will give con-
sideration to our proposals, we are,
Yours very truly,
Mothers’ Council

Secretary.

and Inclusion of Extra-
Territorial Waters

By J. GAVIN

In Bellingham on May 10, repre-
sentatives of the Canadian and
American fishermen voted unani-
mously in favor of the 1986 Salmon
Treaty with two amendments. Only
ene delegate, Mr. Clive Planta,
M.L.A. for the Peace -River Dis-
trict, refrained from voting. Mr.
Planta came as a delegate for the
Fishing Vessel Owners’ Association,
with a letter from that organiza-
tion, which was challenged by the
chairman, Dr. Whitlow, and was
only seated on a motion made by
Mr. Miller of the Fishermen and
Cannery Workers’ Industrial Union,
and seconded by Mr. Rolley of the
Upper Fraser Fishermen’s Associa-
tion.

The first amendment passed to the
1936 Treaty was to include a 50-50
division of the Fraser River Sock-
eye. The method of dividing the
catch was left to the Commission
and the Advisory Committee. The
other amendment drafted was to
include all the extra-territorial
water betwen the 48th and 49th
parallel.

Mr. Planta, who is of

one the

| staunchest supporters of the 1930

Treaty, in its present form, brought
in amendments to the 1930 Treaty,
which he claimed could be added by
diplomatic relations between the
two countries before the Treaty is
ratified. He made a motion that the
1936 Treaty be put on the shelf and
used as a last resort, in case it
was impossible to get any changes
in the 1930 Treaty through these
rather vague diplomatic

relations.
The opinion of both the Canadian
and American were against this and

as being in the best interests of the

Senate for ratification and presenta-
tion to Canada.

The meeting decided that there
should be no power given to the
Gommission in any case for a period
of at least eight years, using this
time for extensive investigation
into the Fraser River Salmon. it
was unanimously decided that all
power over size of gear and appli-
ances should be left in the hands of
the State of Washington and the
Fishery Department of the JDo-
minion of Canada, also that there
should be an adyisory committee
of ten, five from each country, in-
eluded under any circumstances.

The Canadian delegates to the
meeting were: J. Pepper, B.C. Trol-
lers’ Association; R. Folley and F.
Probert, of the Upper Fraser Fish-
ermen’s Association; G. Miller, J.
Gavin, J. Mratinich, and —F. Toma-
sich of the Fishermen and Cannery
Workers’ Industrial Union, and
Clive Planta for the Fishing Vessel
Owners’ Association. Mr. R. Swailes,
M.L.A. for Surrey, attended as an
observer,

LANGLEY DEMANDS
INCREASED RELIEF

LANGLEY PRAIRIE, May 11.
—A strong demonstration of re-
lief workers pressed their demand
for an inereased scale before the
Langley Municipal Council on
Monday, May 11. The Council
finally promised to imerease the
relief scale for children, the
amount to be made known by the
next Council meeting. They will
also request the Provincial Goy-
ernment to grant them a loan so
that all relief may be increased.
On receiving the government’s
reply the Council will notify the
relief workers to send a deleza-
tion to discuss the reply with
them.

R. B. Swailes, M.1.A. for the

fishermen of both countries. The Delta, was present at the Coun-
Americans will take steps immedi- cil meeting and gave good 4as-
ately to present it to the U-sS- sistance to the relief worlcers.

The working ciass press has many

obstacles to combat, not the least

of which are the powerful capitalist

organs that circulate in millions te

our hundreds. A worse enemy than

the avowed capitalist press, how-

ever, is the snake-like group of
bureaucrat controlled and capitalist

financed papers and magazines that

claim to represent-some phase of

the labor movement. An instance of
this is found in an editorial in the

March number of the ‘Canadian

Unionist’ entitled “Communist Or-

gan Excels Itself.’

After the funeral of the late King

George, the ‘Daily Worker’ of
London, made a seoop. Pressmien of
all kinds noticed an  interloper
dressed like an American sidewalk
salesman, in the part of the funeral

cortege reserved for kings ang
princes of royal blood. He was the
only one in that group not a mem-
ber of 2 royal family. He walked
immediately behind the drunken
profligate, King Carol of Roumania,
It took the ‘‘Daily Worker” to fing
out who he was; a masseur, whose
job was to revive the degenerate
Kine of Roumania from the results:
of his excesses and keep him from
collapsing during the ceremony. ;
News hawks of the capitalist
press gave ereat credit to the
“Daily Worker” and the matter was:
the subject of much laughter among
them. Not so, however, the “Cana-
dian Unionist.’ The reactionary
editor of that yvulgarly abusive sheet
takes his cue from the excuses of
King Carol’s Roumanian mbassy.
in London, that “the man was an
ex-soldier with high military decora~-
tions.’ The photographs of the pro—

pure lie; the man wore no military”
decorations and even if he had been
covered all over with medals, this:
would still not gain him the privi-
lege of walking in the procession:
among the royal princes of Norway,
Denmark, Sweden, Greece, etc. :
But it suits the policies of the
contemptible clique that controls
the “Canadian Unionist’ to line up
with the vicious, deprayed, fascist
bully Carol, and to call the “Daily
Worker” “the lowest gutter sheet in
existence,’ and accuse it of resort-
ing to “outright fabrication.’” Just
like Tom MaciInnes.

The workers in the ACCL unions
have a great task ahead of them to
get rid of such friends of fascist
monarchs, particularly of the dis-
solute King Carol who maintains
himself in power by the aid of the
anti-labor torture organization, the
Roumanian Siguranza.

This is one of the things that
make it more and more necessary
for the forces opposed to fascism
to build and maintain a press of
their own, that cannot be bought,
that will not find its inspiration in
attacking real working class papers.
So get behind the Drive for the B.C.
WORKERS’ NEWS and the DAILY
CLARION. We are still a long way
from our objective. This column’s
$150 has not nearly been reached so
if you want to help act immediately,

The Vancouver Jubilee-ers
doubt think they are doing well,
putting up $75,000 for school im:
provements to be spent on Lora
Byng school out in the extreme West
End. For six years the schools here
have been falling to wreck and
ruin; children’s lives haye been en-

no

gered, some even suffering
broken bones through parts of
schools collapsing. But now this is

going to be made alright by spend-
ing about 18 times more on the
schools than McGeer is spending on
the additions to his home,

In the Soviet Union a different
tale is told. Last year 3362 new

schools were opened; this year 430%
schools will be added to those al-
ready in existence at a cost of one
billion and ninety-two millions of
rubles. It sounds like the war
budgets of the capitalist nations, In
Moscow alone last year 80 million
rubles were spent on building and
furnishing 72 new schools. Another
150 schools are being added this
year,

The Soviet workers are no cheese-
paring Dogberrys when it comes to
education, but our School Board has
to scrape and scrimp with $75,000
in six years, while the Jubilee junk-
eteers can blow $35,000 on an ab-
solutely useless fountain in the
middle of a lake.

Now that the “Waiting for Lefty”
cast is back home, and actually
With the bacon, it is in order to in-
quire how the successes of the OQdets
play are received in some quarters.
Personally I am particularly
terested in knowing .what was the
reaction of the professorial censors
at the U-B.C. who refused to allow
“Lefty” to be produced at Point
Grey, being alarmed for the possiblé
effect on the morals of their charges,

The nation-wide acclaim that
grected “Lefty” and the P.A.C.
company, greater than any dramatic
production has received in Canada in ~
the last quarter of a century, would
make some change in the minds of
these academic critics if they were
human, but that, of course, is too
much to hope for.

They are more likely to stew in
their moral austerity and condemn
Odets as Bishop della Casa con-
demned Dante for “the rustic home-
liness of his language and style and
his Jack of decorum and grace.”

Della Casa’s name is only known
for his condemnation of Dante—
but Dante is of the Immortals. The
professors’ names will not eyen ist
but “Lefty” is already famous.
