Urges Need
For Housing

The recent tenement fire on Tri-
umph street in which three Japan-
ese boys were burned to death gave
tragic emphasis to the need for
more housing accommodation in
the city, when the matter came be-
fore the social services committee
Monday.

Ald. Helena Gutteridge pointed

move residents from crowded room-
ing houses when there were no
other places available. She stated
that only a low-rental, subsidized
housing scheme in which hundreds
of such houses could be built
would cope with the situation.

Because of the lack of such a
scheme, she declared, hundreds of
people were forced to live in build-
ings which, properly speaking,
should have been condemned years
ago. Many such buildings were
standing fire traps.

Ald. H. Wilson strove to place
the blame on Oriental occupants of
rooming-houses, but Ald. Gutteridge
reminded the committee that hun-
dreds of whites were living under
similar conditions, and that Fake
Creek would be the scene of mass
evictions were health regulations
carried out properly.

Flays British
Foreign Policy

MONTREAL, Que., June 9—That
Prime Minister Chamberlain’s
“realistic” foreign policy and com-
promises with fascist countries
“had wrought irreparable damage,”’
was the view expressed in an inter-
view here by W. E. Arnold-Forster,
executive of the British League of
Wations Union.

Arnold-Forster, who is a member
of the Labor party's committee on
international affairs, declared: “AS
long as you Ganadians are mem-
bers of the British Commonwealth
of Wations you are inevitably and
inescapably bound up to Britain's
foreign policies. You cannot help
being affected by the mistakes of
the British national government.”

Creston Wheatlands
Ruined By Floods

GRESTON, BC, June 9.—More
than 7,000 acres in this district are
flooded as a result of the failure
of the dykes along the Kootenay
River.

Gast weekend water poured over
the dykes in the northern part of
the Creston reclamation area, fHood-
ing 3200 acres of wheatlands where
the wheat was three feet in height

News From Provincial Centres

Farmer-Labor
Unity Sought

Unions, Farmers Will
Cooperate in Elections

SEATTLE, Wash., June 9—Both
James Taylor, veteran president of
the Washington State Hederation
of Labor, and Eugene V. Dennett,
secretary of the Seattle Industrial
Labor Union council, stated this
week that their organizations
would seek to cooperate closely
with the Washington State Grange
on a program and candidates for
the coming fall state elections.

Taylor declared it was “pretty

early now to predict how things
are going to look,” but said he
would meet with State Grange
Master Ervin King or with the
Grange executive board soon to
tighten labor-farmer relationship
for the coming campaign.
“Since I’ve been president of the
state federation,” Taylor declared,
“labor has had good relationship
with the Grange. We have helped
the farmers to get much of their
favorable legislation passed.’’

Taylor declared he was particu-
larly interested in seeing that a
more liberal legislature than the
one which sat in 1937 is elected in
the fall. ;

While expressing severe displeas—
ure with the activities of the anti-
union Associated Farmers of Wash-
ington, Taylor said he planned to
study the matter more carefully
and make a complete report on it
at the July ii convention of the
State federation in Yakima.

SEATTLE, Wash, June 9. —
Ervin King, master of the Wash-
ington State Grange, said this
week that his organization, which
has 39,000 farm members in the
State, is not connected in any
manner with the Associated Farm-
ers of Washington.

He said the Grange has not met
with the group and that all he
knew about the -Associated Farm-
ers “is what I have read in the
newspapers.”’

Hospital Workers
Seek Better Pay

Although janitors at the General
Hospital work as many as 208
hours a month, not one receives
$80 a month wages, delepate from
Loeal 28, Civic Employees, told
the Trades and Labor Council
Tuesday. He reported a growing
demand for the Board of Indus-
trial Relations to set the minimum
wage for hospital employees at 40
cents an hour.

Recently, he said, hospital em-
ployees had been ‘turned down
when they asked for revision of
wage scales, but the impossibility
of carrying on under the present
wage scales demanded that the
couneil give its full support in the
coming struggle with
authorities.

Anti-US Bloc
Said Forming

ROME, Italy, June 9—The Gior-
nale d’Italia’s Buenos Aires corre-
Spondent claimed this week that
Argentina, Brazil and Chile, South
America’s old “ABC bloc,” was be-4
ing reconstituted ‘‘to combat United
States hegemony in the western
hemisphere.”’

The Giornale d'Italia boasted that
the move was virtually an accom-
plished fact and stated that the
chief aim of the bloc would be to
set up opposition to the Pan-
American arrangement sponsored

over 4 period of five years, Blaylock
attacked the proposal to build the
Alaska highway on the ground of
“economy,” asserting that its only

Significance to Ganada and the
United States would be of a mili-
tary nature.

Blaylock, however, did not con-
fine his comment to the Alaska
highway, but took advantage of the
occasion to promulgate a few other
reactionary ideas, including a pro-
posal that “the ninety-odd percent
who do not pay any income tax”
should be made to pay more in or

national budget.

Urge Berry
Inspection

Local Council Women

Ask For Rigid Tests

Rigid inspection of all berries
coming on the city market, ir-
respective of whether for cannery
or food consumption was urgea
by Vancouver Iocal Gouncil of
Women at its meeting Monday. The
resolution, which will be sent to
the Dominion branch for fruit and
vegetable inspection, was urged as
a measure to protect the consum-
ing public.

Miss E. Elliott of the Dominion
department of agriculture, in a
brief address to the ocuncil, told
members that Canada had gone
further than any other country in
the grading of commercially
canned fruit and vegetables.

She deplored the fact that de-
creasing income had resulted in a
fall in the purchase of dairy prod-
ucts, fruit and vegetables.

TRAIL, BC, June 9—(Special). —F. G. Blaylock, mining

Chamber of Commerce, added his voice to the reactionary
chorus of oppositon to the proposed Alaska-Yukon highway
when he addressed the Associated Boards of Trade of Eastern

of immense profits made by the big
corporations during depression
years and proposals that these pro-
fits should be subjected to heavier
taxation, Blaylocix sought to coun-

“I think taxes may have to be
raised. If they must be increased,
the only place this can be done to
yield any appreciable increase is
on the 90-odd percent who do not
pay any income tax at present, or
by an addition to the sales tax.

constructed a portion of the road
and is now campaisning for $15,000
to enable its completion.
