Local 95, Meaitcutters,

By H. DOUGLAS

Business Agent, Local 95, Meat-

The meat industry today in this
province is in a deplorable condi-

Exist in Our midst, as between de-

to the trade, with the producer re-

of a death struggle.

Stores should stana for a fair
price to the producer, a fair wage
to labor, and a selling price asked
from the customer giving a fair
return, without misrepresentation
of goods or any unfair practices to
make sales and unjust profits.

over the radio. Moving appeals

physically.

People of good-will Cooperate
with Santa Claus campaigns in or-
der to bring a little joy and happi-
ness to these people “at least once
a year.” But after the day of good-
will toward all men is ended, the
lLuman tragedy and despair is for-
gotten by the press and radio for
another year.

But these people cannot forget
for a whole year. The pangs of
hunger look after that part. In or-
der that self respect and responsi-
bility may not be lost, they must
start in where the press and radio
left off. They must, under indes-
eribable difficulties, work together
for a solution to supply their most
elementary needs.

Among those who have the job
of bringing joy and happiness into
the houses of the unemployed dur-
ing the rest of the year, is the
Workers’ Alliance. Y

The Workers’ Alliance came into
existence as a result of the band-
ing together of the married unem-
ployed and their families, to bring
about a more humane, economic
solution to their difficulties than
mere charity and relief.

WA Objectives

While the Workers’ Alliance has
never proposed to the unemployed
that they refuse to accept the aid
offered to them by charity organiz-
ations, it has shown that private

charity and relief are unable to
f£ope with their titanic problem. It
is a social question of the first
magnitude for which the fovern-
mental bodies of the country are
primarily responsible.

The main effort of this worthy
crganization is therefore directed
towards building up public opinion
so that the governments will be
compelled to establish real public
works of a productive nature
whickE will enable the men to sup-
port their wives and families in
decency.

The Workers’ Alliance consists
of workers and builders; or
men and women who wish to con-
tinue and extend the life of the
working people.

There is plenty of work to be
done in Canada, which, if planned
on an adequate scale, will make
our country a happier, more pleas-
ant land. The aim of the Workers’
Alliance is to cooperate with all
who aim to build a better Canada.
This grand ideal does not prevent
the members of this organization
from taking up the smallest prob-
lems of the people.

The Workers" Alliance is glad
that it has the honor of being
mainly responsible for the small
Christmas bonus of $3.20 for the
married, and $1.20 for single un-
employed men and women, granted
by the provincial and municipal
authorities.

The Workers’ Alliance has
brought improved conditions on all
Vancouver relief projects. The im-
mediate aim, however, of this or-
Ganization is for a drastic change

Unemployment and the social insecurity it pro-

practically all working men and women.

Vancouver District Council of the
Alliance,

Realizing that many organiza-
tions of socially minded people ex-
ist to déal with the effects of ain-
employment upon the people, the
Workers’ Alliance will also work
wholeheartedly in any effort to
form a federation of such groups
and organizations: In this way, ef
fective pressure through a united
movement, determined to bring
about a solution to this tragedy of
human suffering may be accom-
plished as rapidly as possible.

With such ideals and practical
program the Workers’ Alliance
can truly lay claim to being a star
of hope to thousands of suffering
people in British Golumbia, It can
truly extend the greetings of a

its supporters and members, not
only for one day in the year but
for every day.

the real hope for victory over hu-|

of employees to belong to a union
of their own choice and treat such
firms as being unfair to organized
labor.

They should approve of cattle
breeders and growers organizing
for standardization and collective
marketing. They believe, of course,
in the right of independent butch-
ers to organize as a proper method
of protection in all matters as af-
fecting retailers,

They should believe that an un-
derstanding between these three
links, producer-labor-distributor is
vital and that the packer being
manufacturer is, ipso facto, a
medium only and should be an as-
sistant only to any understanding
to improve the trade, rather than
that of dictator.

The advent of publie stockyards
and the help of any sympathetic
government in these matters of
late years; set a base for the suc-
cessful working out of such a pol-
icy.

the special issue appears just one

That it has been able to weather
the storms of the past three years

CUMBERLAND, BG, Dec. 16.—
Trade unionism is the breath of
life to Dick Goe, 68-year-old miner
who, for the past 34 years in Gum-
berland has been a well Imown
figure in this town.

Well does he know that were
he in the Soviet Union, a grateful ~
country would not require him to
follow the mines at his age, but
would give him a handsome pen-
sion for his and his wife’s years
of service.

Since he was ten years old he
worked in the mines; first at Coal
City, Tllinois, where he arrived
from Sheffield, England. His first
job was carrying picks. Later he
moved to Iowa, joined the Knights
of Labor, remaining a member un-
til it was superceded by United ~
