WORKERS’ NEWS Page Three Lumber Workers Will Get Only What They Fight For Not Big Heartedness of Bosses, But Militancy of Men, Cause of In- crease in Wages By MILL WORKER : The situation in the lumber in- dustry has called forth the usual emethods of resistance from the lum- er manufacturers. As you rightly pointed out in your editorial last wveek the real fight that the lumber arons will put up is against unions. During these last two weeks they have been jumpine about like a cat on a hot stove. They cannot oppose the union this time on the grounds that it is a “‘Communistic” union. Wow they oppose it on the grounds that it is “foreign.” They: are now for Canadian unions. They are against “Communistic” ecotrol. Any mwnion that does not kneel down be- fore them will be Communistic. Last week an extra edition of a paper Known as “Labor Truth’’ was mailed to workers in the sawmills. This is the second edition that has been mailed wrapped up and post- paid to men working in sawmills in the last two weeks. The whole of the paper is devoted to an unprin- cipled and vicious attack upon the Dumber and Sawmill Workers’ Union. Besides mailing a copy of this un- scrupulous rag to the workers a jarge bundle of the same is placed at the time clocks. When this con- stant pressure is kept up and no reply is forthcoming it will have some effect. Strikes Effective The B.C. lumber manufacturers ery to high heaven that strikes are useless ,They, by their own actions, deny this argument. After the strike had developed in 1934 they raised the wares by means of 8 minimum wage law. After the strike call went out two weeks ago, in some cases when the question was merely under descussion, the mills and the logging eamps raised wages. One should not raise wages at times like these Mr. Lumber Manufacturer! If yo do this you increase the workers’ belief in the efficacy of strikes when other means fail. You are not opposed to unions? Yet you fire every man who Joins one! You are ready to meet your employees.at any time? Yet you discharge those who come to you with complaints! You are always ready to be reasonable, you say, yet you refuse to treat with, in any ) Phone SEY. 9501 ) New York Wave Shop Come and let me ex- -plain why. our waves are awlays soft and natural Club |.
