San An- tonio dumping her cargo into the waters of Burrard Inlet just off the Indian Reserve near Dollarton. This being a violation of Clause 33 of the Fisheries Act and, moreover, affect- tines one of the best of the few re- maining crab srounds in Burrard Inlet, we at once interviewed the Supervisor of Wisheries on Wednes- day, at 11:30 a.m. He promised to have this stopped at once, but it Was not until the next morning at 10 a.m. that a Fishery Patrol boat appeared on the seene, and the dumping continued until the steam- ship was unloaded. _ A delegation of crab fishermen elicited -the followine information from the Supervisor of Fisheries on Thursday: {a) Clause ef the Fisheries Act was being violated: (b) That the Harbormaster had given the S.S. San Antonio per- nussien without first consulting the Department of Fisheries. (ce) That the Fishery Patrol boat considered that as so miuch cargo had already been dumped the job might as well be completed (Q) Our Department of Fisheries is not aS prompt to take action in major cases of this sart as in petty cases involving the fishermen. (2) That the Hatbormaster either Wilfully or ignorantly ignored hoth the Department of Fisheries and the Fisheries Act. Apart from the detriment to our ST: 33 livelihood involved, we are impelled to comment on this waste of ma_ terial, Originally destined. we be- lieve, for a Tacoma Smelter. Have we not smelters, ete., in B.C. which, through the kindly advices of our Harbormaster could have utilized this material, and donated to Santa Claus a part of its value over and above the unloading costs?

MINE OWNERS TO FIGHT UNIONISM American-owned Strike- breaking Agency Is Hired TORONTO. — (FP) — When the organization drive of the Interna- tional Wnion of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers began to show strength in northern Ontario, the big mining corporations employed every means possible to halt organ- ization, including vhiring the ser- Vices of an American-owned strike- breaking agency, the Auxiliary Co. of Canada. The mine companies publish a paper called “The Industrial Worker” and gave a 5c-an-hour Wage increase. At the same time the head of one of Ganada’s larg- est gold mining companies pur- chased two of Toronto’s morming papers, “The Mail and Empire” and “The Globe.” Open Support Of Spaniards - By Britain Is Expected Soon Lord Marley Hopeful As He Appeals for More Ambulances NEW YORK—(FP)—“In the very near future you can expect a fret change in the policy of the British fovernment—there will be more open support of the Spanish govern- ment.”’ With these words, Lord Dudley Marley, deputy speaker in the Brit- ish House of Lords, opened his talk at a New York dinner for the med- ical bureau of the American Friends of Spanish Democracy, which is sending ambulance units to Spain. The mass of the British people are in favor of the utmost support to the Spanish government Marley re- ported. Vast meetings have been held throughout the country to ex- press that sympathy. Twenty-five to 50 U.S. ambu- lances will be sent to Spain, each accompanied by two American doctors and two nurses. A hun- dred doctors and 200 nurses have already applied, Dr. Louis Miller, chairman of the medical bureau, reported. With the aid of the Spanish government, the medical bureau will set up 10 first-aid stations and hospitals. Marley led a collection which netted enough to buy another am- bulance. “If democracy doesn’t realize its perilous situation, it de- serves to perish,” Ernest ‘Toller, German playwright and refugee, told the meeting. “The Bible and the church must be judged from a Nazi standpoint. The Nazi state embodies the totality of God.’—Dr. Reinhold Krause, Nazi leader. Demands Decisions Of C.C.F. Conference Be Put Into Effect Editor, B.C. Workers’ News: Some time ago I was made press agent for Nanaimo G.C.F. Club. In reporting the activities here T Stressed the necessity for united action with all working-class parties, also for a more vigorous campaign for our Spanish com- rades, and against fascism in B.C. There was an organization of this nature formed in Wanaimo last September. The Federationist gave my report about three lines. Nanaimo has always taken a pro- Sressive stand in the working class movement and we very much resent the letter in last week's ‘“Wedera- tionist’”” by Mrs. M. E. James. We have no objections to her speaking for herself, but she has no author- ity to speak for the movement here. I again state that we in the Al- berni-Nanaimo district C.C.F also in the Industrial and Economic Con- ference stand by the Provincial Conference finding, which was to Work with al] working class organ- izations including the Communist Party.
