FOUNTAIN COULD
BE BUILT FOR
ONE-THIRD COST

N. Westminster Mayor
Head of Contracting
Company

VANCOUVER, July 15.— When
Gerry MeGeer put the Cossacks at
the disposal of the Shipping F'ed-
eration to beat the locked-out long-
shoremen back to work, Mayor
Hume of New Westminster said he
did not approve. He told the New
Westminster longshoremen that
Cossacks were not meeded to police
his city, that the city police could
aandle the situation, and that they
would not be used to club the men
who had been respected citizens of
the Queen City for years at the be-
hest of the Shipping Magnates.

However, a few days later Mc-
Geer and Hume met te discuss the
situation, and Hume hot-footed it
away irom the meeting to put into
sffect in New Westminster the
same police procedure that Gerry
had set up in Vancouver. Imme-
jiately Hume's attitude towards the
strikine Jongshoremen of the river
port did a right-about. The New
Westminster police and Mayor
tume competed with Gerry and his
90lice force fer the horrors of
major brutalities against the work-
rs.

houlders and intimated that it-did

ractor ducked. Finally the re-
orter remarked that he had heard

The situation at the Capilano

The Ontario Government announced
today that it would not make any

The total federal eovernment

ability to raise sufficient funds. This

Scab Dockers
Start Racket

Wot to be outdone by the Jubilee
racketeers, the scab waterfront
workers’ association, the C.W-W.A.,
have developed a racket all their
own. It appears they are issuing a
time book,’and are selling advertis-
ing space to make up the cost. It
Seems also that they are anxious to
have appearing on this book, the
Names of firms sympathetic to or-
ganized labor, which would have
the effect, not only of paying the
cost of publication, but also of aid-
ing in breaking down the opposition
of union-minded people to the scab
union.

A representative of the C.W.W.A.
solicited the Public Cafe, 200-block
Columbia Avenue, for an ad. This
man put up the story that they were
the union longshoremen, and were
90 per cent organized, and to prove
that they were supported by or-
Ganized labor, stated that the Hast-
ings Bakery, a 100 per cent union
house, in the 700-block Hastings
Street East, had bought advertising
space, and produced a receipt stub
for $2.00 issued in the name of the
Hastings Bakery.

Hit a Snag

it so happened that the proprietor
of the Public Cafe is himself. an
ex-Striker, and fully acquainted
with the set-up on the waterfront,
and had no hesitation in telling the
Scab agent so, with a few added
adjectives.

What puzzled the proprietor was
that the Hastings Bakery should
support the scab outfit. He decided
to enquire.

The same story, only the pro-
prietor of the Hastnigs Bakery did
not know the actual conditions on
the waterfront and was “gypped,”
as he put it. He had been ap-

EVICTION CASE
FINALLY CLOSED

Hungerford Family In
Suitable House, City
Pays Hotel Bill

After almost a week of contin-
uous hammering on the civic offi-
cials and relief authérities by the
Mothers’ Council and the Unem-
ployed and Part Time Workers, H.
B. Hungerford and his family, who
wereevicted July 9th, have been
established in suitablé quarters.

As reported in our jast issue, fol-
lowing eviction, Hungerfords fur-
niture, etc., was removed from pub-
lie gaze by the authorities and
placed in storage. Unable to locate
a suitable house that/day, Hunger-
ford moved his family into the
Wiagara Hotel, proffering the $12
city allowance as rent, and re-
mained there until suitable quar-—
ters were obtained. Meantime the
Mothers’ Council and U& PTW.
camped on the case; interviewing
and protesting to aldermen, city
council, relief officials and any
and everybody who could use their
influence to right the disgraceful
treatment meted out to the evict-
ed family. On June i3th a suitable
house was provided, and the fam-
ily moved in. The city paid the
first month's rent of the new house
and the bill at the Niagara Hotel,
which had been the family’s home
during the controversy.

LOGGERS’ UNION
SIGN AGREEMENT

“Hot”? Leg Ban of U.S.
Workers Compels
Recognition

That the ban of the U.S. mill
workers on “hot’’ logs from B.C. is
beginning to bear fruit is evidenced
by the willinemess of some of the
B.C. operators to do business with
the loggers union in B:C. An agree-
ment has already been signed by the
Vanderhoof and Johnson Company
with the Cowichan Lake, local 2782.
The agreement, among other things,
calls for an eight-hour day, time
and one-half for holidays, listine
Sunday’s, New Years Day and
New Year’s Eve after 5 p.m:,
Christmas Bye after 5 -p.m. and
Christmas Day.

The company agrees to recognize
the locals safety committee, and to
be guilded by the decisions of the
committee.

At the present time the. unions are
in negotiations with some dozen
other Vancouver Island operators,
for a similar agreement.

Several operators have logs tied
up in American waters because of
the refusal of the U.S. mill men to
handle or cut logs from B-G. not
eut under union conditions. Other
companies have logs for U.S. export
which are held in B.C. for the sume
reason, and until the operators rec-
ognize the union and deal accord:
ingly, these boys will not be released.
Thoush the Vanderhoof and John-
son firm is the first to give wavy to
the pressure of the boycott, it is
expected that negotiations now be-
ing carried on with the other com-
panies will be amicably concluded
within the course of a few days.

Soviet Trade
Pact Renewed

MOSCOW, U.S:S:.R., July 13.—
(ALP)—WNews of the renewal of the
special trade agreement between
the Soviet Union and the United
State was cerdially welcomed here
and further gains in the trading
relationships of the two countries
are confidently expected.

Under this agreement which has
now been extended to June 13, 1937,
Soviet purchases in the United
States will have risen to $37,000,000.

Cotton and machinery have con-
stituted the main items of purchase
and a measurable increase in these
commodities in particular is pre-
dicted.

American purchases in the Soviet

Union amounted to $13,000,000 in
1935 and were chiefly of linen,
matches, cement, fish, flax and
manganese.

WESTERN MINERS
VOTE FOR UNITY

The desire for unity amongst the
miners of Canada is exemplified by
the overwhelming majority vote of
the B.C. and Alberta miners for
affiliation with the United Mine
Workers of America, cast by the
various units of the Mine Workers
Union of Canada and independent
unions.

Total vote of thirteen local unions
woted 1851 for amalgamation with
386 opposed.

ATLIN, July 13.—Mine Workers’
Union of Canada local here voted
unanimously to affiliate to Inter-—
national Union of Mine, Mill and
Smelter Workers (A.F.of L.).

proached by a woman agent, who
said that as the Hastings Bakery
had supported the striking long-
shoremen last year, and now they
were back to work and 90 per cent
organized she felt that this 100 per
cent union house would still like
to show its sympathy with or-
ganized labor by buying advertis-
ing space in the union’s book.

The proprietor was agreeable and
paid over $2.00, the balance to be
paid upon publication.

Armed with this endorsation by
a union house, the scab agents set
out ofter otehr union houses. How
many were “taken in’’ before the
Public Cafe was solicitde has not
been learned, but when that place
Was reached the game was spiked.
Upon becoming acquainted with the
circumstances the Hastings Bakery
immediately cancelled their con-
tract. The parting shot of the pro-
prietor of the Public Cafe was, “We
don’t need scab business to keep
this place going,” which was en-
dorsed by the proprietor of the
bakery.

CONGO PRISONERS MUTINY

POLICE USE KIDNAP LAW 10
INTIMIDATE TORONTO RELIEFERS

>

TORONTO, July 14.— Charsed
under the kidnapping section of the

| Criminal Code, section 297, thirty-

three workers are facing frial in
Toronto. They are alleged to have
held Reeves Armstrong and Masg-
wood of Etobicoke and York Town-
ship, respectively, in their offices
until unemployed relief cuts, passed
down by the federal and provincial
sovernments, were restored.

The arrests of the workers fol-
lowed closely the methods used in
the arrests of the Communist Party
leaders in 1931. At midnight hordes
of police broke into homes, flashing
lights on and terrifving women and
children in theirc beds, and effecting
the arrests.

It is reported that the Reeves
deny that they were mistreated
and have joined the defense of the
charged workers who if convicted

can be sentenced to 25 years each.

Ineluded in the 33 arrested men
are workers of almost every politi-
eal affiliation—C.C.F., Communist,
Liberals and even Conservatives.
The Canadian Labor Defense Leasue
Was on the job immediately defend-
ing the arrested men. The Regional
Council of the C.C.F., the Toronto
Trades and Labor Council (A.F. of
Lj; the Communist Party and
many other labor and progressive
bodies have joined in the defense.

Over the signature of Secretary
Orloff, the C.C.F. Provincial Goun-
cil issued a statement against the
38 arrests. The statement condemns
“Prussianism’” and denies that
charges of “Red agitation’ will halt
the unemployed in their fight
against lowering relief further to-
Wards starvation and that the
C.C-E. will continue the struggle
against relief cuts and fight to get
work and wages. It further charges
that the Liberal Hepburn govern-
ment has resorted to ‘Prussian’
methods to cover up its failure to
solve the problem of wunemploy-—
ment. :

Calls have been sent out for a city-
wide conference on July 21 in which
C.C.F. clubs, unemployed asocia-
tions, C.L.D.l. and many other or-
ganizations will take part in work-
ing out mass defense plans under
the leadership of the Citizens’ De-
fense Committee.

Plans are under way for protest
mass meetings, demonstrations and
unemployed marches, which will
take in workers in suburban villages
and townships, to the provincial
parliament buildings.

ALBERTA C.C.F.
ON ROAD TO UNITY

EDMONTON July 16.— After
heated arguments the Provincial
Association of ©.C.F. Clubs pass-
ed a resolution urging the Na-
tional Council of the Co-operative
Commonwealth -Federation to
“open negotiations with the
Communist Party with a view to

exploring the possibilities of
affiliation of the Communist
Party of Canada with the
C.C.E.’

Another resolution asked the
national convention to give the
Alberta body “autonomy with re-
spect to co-operation of the
C.C.E. with other Socialist organ-
izations.”

Canners Out_
to Cut Wages

May Put Lecal Labels on
Eastern Goods

VERNON, B.C. July 15.—The
present deadlock in the tomato can-
ning industry in the Okanagan Val-
ley, with producers asking $1 more
a ton than canners are willing to
pay, is another clear example of
the “united front’” of employer
against employee.

In an effort to break the mini-
mum wage scale, low as it is (2714
cents per hour), the canners have
resorted to doubtful- ethical, but
otherwise good business tactics.
Despite the fact, as pointed out in
the Vancouver “Sun” July 11, that
the price of cans exceeds the price
of the tomatoes and labor combined,
the canners are demanding a reduc-
tion in the wage scale rather than
a reduction of the price of cans.

To implement this demand it can
be said (on the authority of an em-
ployee) that the canners are con-
Sidering buynig or may nave al-
ready contracted for the purchase
of eastern products to which they
intend to add their own labels. Thus
they are able to wield great weight
in price and wage negotiations.

Brazil Has
‘Red’ Bogey

RIO DE JANTIERO, Brazil, July
14.—(ALP)—The bogey of Bela Tun
is haunting Brazil. The government
of President Vargas took extra-
ordinary steps yesterday to prevent
the landing of the Hungarian Gom-
munist leader anywhere along the
longest coastline of any nalion in
the Americas.

Chief of Police Filinto Mue2ler,
who sees Communists under his bed

at night and is always brushing
them out of his oiled hair, claimed
to have a document in his pos-

session showing that Bela Kun was
to entec the country and start a
revolution.

BOSSES THREATEN TO CLOSE CANNERIES

B.C. To Send Peace
Delegate To Geneva

Fishermen And
Cannery Workers Are

Solid On Demands

®
Great Demonstration of

Solidarity of

Workers

RELIEF IS NEEDED

Can Pay Increase Price

And Still Make
Profit

Last night the white fishermen
at Alert Bay decided to rejoin the
Strike and are solid for either the
price demanded or to return to
Vancouver. There is a strong pos-
sibility that the Indians will rejoin
the strike.

When the strike was first called,
more than a weel ago, the Indians
lineé up with the Whites, but with
the use of plenty whisky and the
promise of lots more after they
started fishing, they were persuad-
ed to take out their boats: Since

then, however,. they have seen
through the bosses’ scheme to
break the union, and there is 2

Strong possibility they will soon re-
icin the strike.

Fifty seine boats are already tied
up there and in Butedale. The Bute-
dale fishermen are coming here if
no settlement is reached.

SOINTULA, July 16.— The can-
ners at Rivers Inlet, Smiths and
Wamu have met the negotiating
committee of the striking fisher-
men, but refused to pay above 40
cents a fish. They now threaten to
put the blame on the fishermen for
the stopping of the industry.

Police Try te Recruit Scabs. :

Police notices have been posted
offering protection to-anyone who
wants to fish, but there is no re-
sponse. Instead, the fishermen
have torn down all the notices.

The strike is solid. The Indians
are leaving for home today, show-
ing their solidarity with the White
fishermen.

Approximately 3,200 fishermen
and cannery workers are effected.
in these three grounds alone. This
includes 1800 gillnetters, 55 seine
boats, and approximately 1000 can-
nery workers.

Companies Can Pay

The refusal of the canners to
meet the increased price is not be-
cause of the inability to pay, but to
Smash the union. This is proved
by the fact that independent can-
ners have offered to pay the in-
creased price.

The fishermen haye wired the
Labor Department to take a hand,
but so far it has turned a deaf ear.

Coneede Demands or No Fish

The canners insist that the men
return and then negotiate. This has
been refused, on the ground that
there is mo need for delay as all
parties are here, and until the can-
ners change from their adamant
position of refusing to pay above
40 cents, there will be no fishnig.
The fishermen are demanding 50
cents a fish, which is still far be-
low the price received by the fish-
ermen on the American side.

EDMONTON, July 16—Mayor J..
&. Clarke ordered police not to per-
mit the swastika to be flown st a

FRENCH UNIONS
GROWING RAPIDLY

PAP, France, July 9—(ALP)—
The French Trade Union Federation
now covnts 3.26 million members, or,
almost ihree times as many as at
the time of the amalgamation of
ibe Confederated and Unitary unions,
accordi.s to Secretary Frachon of

tie “Contederation General du
Trayaille.’

Commenting upon this tremen-
dous fein in trade union member-
ship, rachon recalled the words of
Jouhaus, leader of the powerfrl
tederati_n, that ‘the unity of the
irade wijons is about to become the
unity ef the working cClass,”’ and
the sentence in the Charta of the
C.G.T.- “The trade unions unite the

Wage earmers of every trend.’’
“Today,” Frachon pointed out, ‘it
is urgently necessary te stretch out
a hand to the Catholics and to the
workers in the ranks of the Croix ds
Feu, so that there may he only one
united trade union organization in
every factory and every district,’
Wrachon further emphasized the fact
that bank clerks, members of the
Croix de Feu, opposed their leaders’
effort to form a reactionary trade

vnion as an opponent of the GGT.

ization, was proposed here by M.
Hindahl, Norwegian delegate to the
Seventh annual congress of the

Unions. Canada’s representative
at the congress is James Simpson,

Hindahl said: ‘Peace is indivisible,

Cur duty to organize with the So-
