Some hypothetical representative of a hypothetical rubber concern dis- eussed the Canadian scene with an equally hypothetical reporter, for no names, apart from that of Toronto, are mentioned in the despatch. Our employers are “humanitarian in their outlook,” perhaps that is their object of sending in so many police armed with all the para- phanelia of Mars himself, where workers are on strike. Organizers and union secretaries, States the despatch, are considered. by “contented” employees, as “para- sites.”’ The only contented em- ployees in Canada are dead ones. There were no contented em- ployees or humanitarian employers in Courtald’s Rayon Mills, Corbin Mines, Regina, the longshore strike in British Columbia or the loggers’ strike, just to mention a few of the major strikes of recent date. Canadian labor is n omore or less contented than labor of any other capitalist country. The New Zealand Herald, like its kind in Canada, prints such stuff for the effect it will have on the discontented exploited workers of WNew Zealand, just as the capitalist press of Canada prints lyine stories of the advantages of class co-opera- tion—with no union orgeanization—in other places. H.M.S. GUARDIAN SCENE OF STRIKE LONDON, Oct. 15—The admiralty announced today there had been a “slight case of indiscipline” on the HMMS. Guardian when she was ly- ing with the fleet in the Firth of Porth recently, part of the crew ignored for a time orders to fall in line, the admiralty said. The inci- dent occurrea October 10. It lasted only a few minutes, and did not af- feet the normal routine of the ves- sel. The seamen for some days had been grumbling about overwork and the poor quality of food. Some of the seamen were put under euard and the vessel, leayvinge: the fleet, went to Invergordon. The Guardian is the largest net- layer ever built and is referred to as a “mystery ship’? because she em- bodies certain innovations which the admiralty has kept secret. MORE HELP FOR SPAIN PARIS, Oct. 12.—(A LP)—Groups of young women’s organizations are issuing appeals to their members, reminiscent of World War days, to form knititms circles to supply warm clothing to Spanish militiamen. Boys help out by collecting funds and saving their pennies towards the purchase of airplanes to be sent to Madrid. Most active in aiding Spain are the left-wing young people’s Sroups which have tremendous fol- lowings. British Students LONDON, Oct. 12.—(ALP)—Rep- | resentatives of 2500 Britsh students, members of the Wniversity Labor Hederation, pledged support to the Spanish government in an inter- view with Charge d’Affaires of the Spanish embassy. Collection of funds plus continued work for the British Medical Units now in the field in Spain was promised by the student leaders. THANK THE LORD The parson of a small village church was visiting one of his flock, and admiring the truck garden, “Nice patch of carrots you have there, John,” said the parson. “You must thank the Tord above for that.”’ John said, “Yes, parson.’ “Very good beets, too. Thank the T,0rd for those, too.’’ “Yes, parson.’’ “Indeed a very nice garden all the Way around, John. You must thank the 200d Lord for that.’ John was silent for a moment, then slowly, ““Did you ever see this piece of ground when the Lord had it ajJl to Himself?” * SEE YOUR FOOD PREPARED at the PALACE CAFE 47 West Cordova Street WE SERVE THE BEST COFFEE IN TOWN ‘actually was not a member of any > ) Organization and was only in the nadian Labor War Demands Huge Portion Of Budget TOKYO, Japan.—With a proposed budget for next year of 3,300,000,000 yen, an increase of almost 50 per cent over this year, all sections of the population are demandins; an end to heayy taxation for war pur- poses. The army has asked for 3 billion yen for six years, the navy 800 mil- lien yen for next year. The navy demand is twice the amount allotted it this year. Some months ago, when Japan withdrew from the London Naval Gonferenee, Admiral Nagano, a dele- gate to the conference and now Minister of the Navy; said that the breaking; up of the conference would not mean an inerease in Japan’s military budget. Apparently the ad- miral has a short memory. KXPELLED Editor, B.C.

Executive Body Ousted By Convention Burford Not Member Of Any Organization, Says Mosher TORONTO — (ALP) A. R. Mosher, president of the All-Cana- dian Congress of Labor since 1927, was re-elected by acclamation to his Seventh term in office by the sixth convention of the congress at the King Hdward hotel here. With the election of the new exec- utive, W. T Burford and his col- leagues on the old executive, who tried to prevent the holding of the convention and tie the congress to Some of its former reactionary policies, were swept out of office. Officers and board members elect- ed are as follows: A. R. Mosher, president; N. S. Dowd, Ottawa, sec- retary-treasurer; Charles Beatty, Toronto, first vice-president: J. S. McNabb, Winnipes, second vice- president; executive board mem- bers, Mrs. M. Finch, Toronto, L. Duck, Ottawa, and W. J. Smith, Toronto. In discussion on the financial re- port Mosher charged that W. T. Burford, former congress treasurer, | congress by paying $4 from his own Wages aS per capita tax. WGurford is listed as secretary of the Cana- dian Printers’ Union which, Mosher charged, does not exist in Ottawa. The financial report showed that the congress had $1,904.65 Surplus profit for the year. The total assets were listed as $1,060.70. Making further Ghargses on the affiliations of the congress Mosher declared that the One Big Union, of which board members Meikle and Russell are leaders, has never paid full per capita tax for years and Was only kept on the books by Burford to keep the numerical Strength of the congress higher than actual payments showed.

Cordova St. Doug. 5215-R Rea, Carnel In Limelight Masson Takes Decision in Return Bout With Jackson Frankie Rea and Bobbie Carnel Stole the show at the Sports Club, when they stepped onto the mat to wrestle four of the most thrilling ‘rounds ever wrestled in the club. Rea was the aggressor and tried to win the match by knocking his opponent senseless. Carnell, slim and younger than his opponent, took it all and dished out plenty himself. The referee, Don Lott, was, several times, on the point of awarding him a fall for being fouled, but the Kid refused to accept it and fought grimly on. Carnel was out on his feet at the end of the fourth but the bell saved him from a fall. The mateh ended in a draw. Scottie Jackson and Bill Masson had the feature spot on the card and wrestled fivefives in 4 return match. Scottie, who took the last &0, dropped this one to Masson. It was a fast scientific match from beginnine to end and both boys put everything they had into it. Scottie used his leg-trip to perfec- tion but couldn’t follow it up and Pin his man. Bill took the only fall in the third, with a body scissors and press. The fifth saw a thrilling moment or two when Scottie threw Masson out of the ring and Masson came back to slap him down and throw him out over the ropes. George Hardy came back from: Toronto and took on Ernie Riley in a three-five bout. The bout was rather tame till the close of the third when Hardy showed a flash of his old style and had the fans on thier toes and Shouting to the rafters. Dazed and Shaken, Riley Was pinned to the mat. Frenchie Raymond and the Boston id took one fall each in a three- five grunt and froan match. Harry Montgomery, 126, and Scottie MecGrenle, 126, boxed three rounds in one of the classiest ex- hibitions ever staged in the club. Paddy O’Brien, weighing only 108, took on Youngs Stroppan, who had a twelve-pound edge over him and fought three same rounds. Qut- weighed and outreached, he never backed up and sot a real hand from the crowd, even though he dropped the decision. Two S.U.P.A. boys, Charlie Parker, 150, and Art Norton, 145, boxed three rounds. Parker took the decision. Younes Dempsey, 80, won the de- cision over Gordie Evans, 75, in a three round bout.
