November 19, 1937 PEOPLE’S ADVOCATE Page Five Press Drive Is Over Top Quota Over - subscribed But Drive Campaign To Continue Until Books Closed Monday With traditional §enerosity, Brit- ish Columbia supporters of the labor press oversubscribed the dis- trict quota set at $3,000 for the Clarion-Advocate drive by attaining the figure of $3,127.17 on Thursday, Nov. 18. Speaking on behalf of the cen- tral drive committee, W. Ravenor, drive manager, expresses deep ap- preciation through the PA of the efforts of the many individuals and Sroups that made it possible for these two labor progressive papers to continue publication. Special thanks are given to those Supporters in the localities who or- ganized socials and other affairs at the request of the committee, these events being responsible for the sum of $1760. : Subseriptions and donations to the total of $1,366, were obtained on material supplied by the com- mittee. There were 656 club sub- scriptions and $2,151 contributions to the sustaining fund, embodied in the total figure. With the deadline set for Novy. 21, when the books will be closed, the drive committee anticipates further receipt of contributions and Subscriptions whicen will be entered on press drive accou-ts. At the conclusion of the drive, there will be issued a full report and honor roll, the latter naming outstanding people and the most efficient committees in the drive.

At the Art Gallery this there is a show put on by the “Graduates Group”’—younger Van- couver artists, who are attempting to interpret life as they see it around them. As it is in everyday existence, so we find here two tendencies manifesting themselves. One group seems to content to fold its hands, to turn its head away from hu- Inanity entirely. The other group — notably Margaret Carter, Flor- ence Parker and TIrene MHoffar Reid — is concerned with hu- man beings and their activities. Here are street scenes, groups of people at a meeting, unemployed even has some drawings of CCH! leaders, both satirically and sym- | pathetically done. i weeks Art Gallery Exhibition Has Progressive Trend of Seeing a socialist society in our midst, can daily be preparing for it. How, for instance, will we ever have great proletarian writers, artists, musicians, st in books, pictures, concerts? It is a good thing sometimes to look around and see what is Sspiration. True, there is not yet in these drawings any hint of the conflicts and struggles of life to- day, and for that reason they are merely static observations. But the general direction is encouraging. Most interesting are the murals, wall-size paintings which are being made for the West End Commun- ity Centre illustrating the everyday activities in which we would like to see our children engaging—draw-_ ing, woodcarving, Singing, public speaking.

Tyler, acting district director of immigration at Seattle, that he leave the country by Novy- ember 22 would have prevented him attending the IWA convention to be held in Portland, beginning December 3. IWA officials believe that lumber bosses, certain reactionary AF of L officials and immigration author- ities are determined to get Prit- ehett out of the country because of his ability and prestige as an organizer of the lumber workers. On the committee to direct the campaign to prevent the deporta- tion, are R.- J. Francis, CIO re- gional director for the Northwest; Paul Coughlin, noted labor attor- ney; O .M. Orton, TWA vice-presi- dent, and Pat Guerin, head of the TWA labor relations department.

BRIDGE (Continued from page 1) States that a $4,000,000 bridge has been built, but a search through the twelve pages of the supplement fails to reveal how cost of erection was distributed. The supplement does impart the information that the new bridge has cost just four times as much as the old one, in use for the past 30 years. Few, how- ever, will complain of the erection of a new bridge, although com- plaint against toll charges is wide- spread. Research into costs of the bridge brings to light the following: Bill 25: Styled, “an Act to provide for the construction of 4 bridge across the Fraser at New West- minster,” was enacted in 1935 au- thorizing the Crown to borrow —up to four million dollars for this project. Monies thus borrowed, after payment of discounts, com- missions, brokerage, and other loan- YCL PLANS DANCE R A whist drive and dance will be held Monday, November 22, 8 p.m., Victoria Road hall, corner of 38th avenue, under auspices of Young Communist League, to raise funds for the cigarette campaign for Canadian boys in Spain.

Power to impose tolls for use of the bridge was also provided. An agreement between the Crown and the Fraser River Bridge Company Nov. 17, 1934, is the most interest- ing, portion of the Act. Under this agreement it was stated that the company named had expended monies in surveys and other things since 1927 and at the time of the Passage of the Act, held an exclusive franchise to con- struct the bridge. The BC govern- ment then, by this agreement, ac- quired full rights to construct a bridge, and in Clause 7 of the Agreement, we quote: “As full compensation for the rights and privileges waived or as- Signed by the company by virtue of this contract, and for the com- pany’s services performed under this contract, including all plans, in- formation and statistics furnished by the company, the government Shall pay to the company in the Manner and at the times herein- after stated, a sum equal to seven and one-half per centum of the costs of the works.” Written into the agreement also is this statement: “And whereas the government has agreed to employ the company as the agent of the government for the construction in the manner hereinafter set out of a traffic bridge for the government .. . the company has agreed to act as agent for the government, for the con- struction.” Above then, is the basis. Fraser River Bridge Company sold out its interests and became the agent for their customer in the matter of further business. Two Shareholders Dated March 18, 1935, just eighteen months ago, in a letter sent to a resident of this city, from the Registrar of Companies, we are told: “Re Fraser River Holdings Ltd.

He is proud of being made sergeant after one month’s training in the Machine gun section. “Our first major offensive was only made possible by the policies of the Negrin government and that was around Brunete on July 6. And was there panic among the Fascist troops when we swept down on them. It was only the sudden ap- pearance of a fleet of German ana Italian airplanes that enabled them to dig in and make another stand, and by then we had captured 100 square miles.” Describing the Loyalist victory at Quinto, Dent related how he saw 1200 Spanish Fascist troops sur- render, their fists upraised in the anti-Pascist salute, their officers lying dead in the streets. “This is another reason why de- mocracy will win. Within the Fascist lines is a rowing discon- tent as against the unquenchable spirit of the people’s army,” he de- clared, Yes, he knew of the boys from BC, he told me.

These are also directors: “DesBrusey, Alexander C., 309 Royal Bank Building, Vancouver, BC, Solicitor. Nason, Mabel ML E., 309 Royal Bank Building, Vancou- ver, BC, Stenographer. (Signed) H. G.

There are no contracts on the company’s file.” Surely it would be a fair request at this time, that all actual expenses incurred by Fraser River Bridge Company, prior to the contract, should be made known. Seven and one-half Per cent of four million dollars is three hun- dred thousand dollars. The differ- ence between ten thousand dollars and three hundred thousand dollars is to be explained in terms of agency. service, plus the capital sunk in the venture prior to the contract, as well as the sale of goodwill.

A trade unionist of forty years standing, Alex Fordyce has follow- ed his calling of granite-cutter since his youth in Glasgow and Aber- deen. Resident in Vancouver since 1907, he has taken a progressive interest in the welfare of its less fortunate citizens. He has aided the unem- ployed movement to strengthen its ranks, has been on innumerable delegations to the city relief office to seek aid for the destitute. As a delegate to Vancouver Trades and Labor Council his voice has been raised time and again to en- list support of organized labor for the unemployed. In 1934 he joined the CCF; be- | came president of the Advance Club in this city, and has the full Support of that club in his civic election campaign. The fact that the CCF officially has looked with disfavor on his running as a trade union nominee is regretted by all progressives who realize the need for solidarity between the GCF and the trade unions. A hard-headed Scot, Fordyce can- not see any sense in the CCF offi- cial dictum of “going it alone.” Neither does Advance CCE Club. But the dictum stands. Disciplined all his life in the trade union movement, Fordyce statements, Bengough read from a speech recently delivered by Hon. H. D. Herridge, excoriating just sucn organizations as the Industria] As- sociation of BG, deeclared: “Unquestionably this council fully agrees with the remarks of Delegate Shearer, and we also find ourselves agreeing with the statements made by Hon. W. D. Herridge when he Says that Fascism and the trade unions cannot exist side by side. There can be no doubt but that this new set-up in BC is another form of the notorious Citizens’ League and Industrial Council.’ Many delegates took part in the discussion, all stressing the need for a militant stand against Fas- cist organizations. CG. Stewart, Street Railwaymen, made a power- ful speech against the Fascist Du- plessis government of Quebec and his motion that a committee be set up to cover the trade union move- Ment on this question was unani- mously endorsed, President Jamie- son appointing Stewart as convenor. A resolution condemning the ac- tion of the Quebee government and the infamous “padlock law’ was ordered sent to Premier Duplessis and President Draper of the Trades and Labor Congress. makes no claim to being a “free individual” if elected, expresses his intention of responding to the de- sires of progressive organizations as an indication of the will of the people.
