Se ee = es eo, SS ee — Ss Lambchuck, Bunka Draw O’Brien Challenges Nelson To Duel Crowds at the VSC last Saturday night are still wondering wht has become of the George Bunka that used to be. Bunka put in six rounds of rassling against Johnny Lamb- ehuck without pulling even a teensy-weensy dirty trick. How-— ever, this didn’t awe Lambchuck any and, believe me, the Ukrainian wonder really went to town after discovering that Bunka wasn’t go- ing to pull any rough stuff. The match ended in a draw. Vie Butler, cauliflowered patron of the club, put in a tough evening against a Victoria import by name of George Harris. Vic, a former Ganadian middleweight boxing champion, must have felt his 44 years during this bout as he tired rapidly and Harris took an easy win in the fourth. Stanley Nelson, i6-year-old nov- ©’Brien that he took an easy win. The boys continued their fight in the dressing room, however, and were only parted after each had a black eye. O’Brien has challenged Welson to a boxing match on this Saturday's card, and this interpre— tation of the honorable and ancient pastime of duelling should do much toward filling the house. In the boxing section of the card Tommy Burns drew with newcom- er Stan Glover, and Ace Burns drew with the much-improved Louis Sauve, Maillardville. : | : “We Do : © po 99 7 Patronize List y of the Vancouver & New Westminster Trades and Labor Council : | L | — | £ J i Patronize a Union Restaurant .. - THE FOUR WHITE LUNCHES are on the Hotel & Restaurant Employees Union, Local 28 | Not ————— Strike T rea | Halts "Frisco Game SAN FRANCISCO.—A scheduled soccer game last week be- tween the strike-bound Olympic Club and the Teutonia A’s was halted when the Culinary Workers’ and Bartenders’ threatened to surround Ewing Field with 200 pickets if the strike-bound organization was allowed to play- The game was to have been a semi-final intermediate con- test, preliminary to the first game of the series for state soccer championship between the Western Pacific of Sacramento and the Union Espanola of San Francisco.

Union ES By GADABOUT HILE Schmelins refuses to do business with the Broadway fight mob and is reported to have turned down 50 G’s to dive to the Brown Bomber, it arrangents’ have been made for the outcome. The outcome is simple. The mob figures that unless Schmeling kKkayoes his chocolate-colored ad- versary or has him on the floor throughout the battle, Louis can’t lose. Be that as it may, I have the firm conviction that Louis will win by a KO in the twelfth or thirteenth round, reversing the 1936 outcome. Reason for this reasoning should be obvious. After all, Louis is two years smarter and Schmeling is two years older, and I don’t think fi’ Joe will be the sucker for a right hand that he was in 736, so I look for a sleepy—-bye clout for Maxie in 12 or 13. Another thing ... Michael (fail- ure) Jacobs isn’t going to drag in the big capital on this one that he figured. In the first place he placed the two big Battles of the Century too close together, and thereby lost most of the 250,000 berries he spent on publicity, and in the second place he reckons with- out the anti-Nazi organization that hasn’t been doing any sleeping— not by a long shot! * * = After seeing the Ross-Armstrong fight pictures, [m convinced, and firmly so, that Garcia or any of a dozen good puncners could put the Prime Minister Fund Lack digh Mortality .

It is no ac- cident that the two provincial gov— ernments which are leading the fight to prevent national unifica-— tion are at the same time seeking to abrogate the rights of labor to organize. ‘Tt is no accident that the lead- ers of the fight to prevent demo- eratic national unification are at the same time the ceniral figures of a new reactionary political com- bination around which the ultra-— reactionary elements in Canadian political life are being mobolized- This reactionary combination is fostering sectional and separatist movements, encouraging and shel- tering open fascist organizations. “It is trying to aggravate national disunity to block the way to social legislation and uniform regulation of commerce and industry. it ad- voeates policies which, ultimately, hold the danger of provincial dis- memberment of Canada.’’ National Income Analyzed Analyzing Canada’s national in- come, the Communist party pointed out in its brief that in 1934 30 per cent of a national income of $3,600,- 000,000, plus $100,000,000 received by Canadian capitalists from invest- ments abroad, went “to a tiny group of rich people as reward for own- ership.”” All farmers combined re- eeived only $475,000,000—an average income per farmer of only $510— while of workers employed for wages and salaries 84 per cent earned an average of only $506 for the year. “No less than 65 per cent of the workers (a total of 1,617,000) have average incomes of only $360. The earnings of this million six hundred thousand workers would have been doubled by half of what went to the small group of rich people as re- ward for ownership. The remaining half would have been sufficient to have doubled the income of every farmer in Canada and would still have left $125,000,000 for the rich to idle on,’ the brief declares. Ample Wealth For All The conclusion was drawn that “the wealth of,Canada and the an- nual production of wealth is ample — That other social legislation in the interests of agriculture, - small business, regulation of trade, hours of work, wages, old age pensions, health, trade union rights, etc., should also be : without weakening the jurisdiction of the provincial govern~ ments over questions of language, civic liberties and so on. | of the Dominion government opposition to these@- i to provide for our people. Further— more, adequate social legislation would increase the purchasing power of the people, extend the home market and tend to further increase the national income. Obviously the social Measures proposed “‘can be financed by the Dominion government with a sys- tem of taxation based upon the policy of utilizing the wealth pro- duced in Canada for the welfare of Canada’s people,” the Communist party stated. “Obviously, such measures should not be financed by simply adding to taxes already pressing upon the people.” In proof of this contention, the brief showed that taxes already consumed 20 per cent of the in- comes of the wast majority of Ca- madian people, the amount con- sumed by taxes often representing the difference between enough or not enough of the bare necessities of life. Thorough Taxation Reform The brief proposed that there should be a thorough-going reform of the tax structure with a far larger proportion of government revenue coming from income tax. Specific proposals were: | ete the personal income tax should be made the basic tax in the Dominion taxation system. a That no governmental body should be allowed to levy a sales tax. (b) Excise duties on articles of general consumption should be abolished. (ce) Customs duties should be abolished except where absolutely necessary to maintain an industry in existence in Canada. Bae. the interest on all public debt should be scaled down to 3 per cent. This could be achieved either by refunding at that rate or, NEW METHOD SHOE - - 337 Carrall St. = n British Hastings Steam Baths Always Open Expert Masseurs in Attendance 764 BE.

Peo- ple who derive incomes from Ca— nadian industry or commerce, should pay income tax whether they choose to live in Canada oF not. The interest and dividends and undistributed profits accruing to the millionaires who leave Canad@ to escape taxation, should be taxe in full before they are paid te them.” 2 Asserting that ‘public senti-| ment is in favor of the reforms” that we propose,” the brief warned that such reforms were always” greeted with the cry that they were impractical. ; “This,” the Communist party stated, “has always been the cry of reaction in its effort to prevent) progress.” 4 Less Provincial Burdens ; Figures set forth in the brief show clearly how the burdens the provinces, and the municipal: ties, would be eased by rational redistribution of dominion-provin: cial taxation powers. : Figures presented as represent ing the net gain to the provinces: were as follows: ; 132,000 Prince Edward fis. _._. $s Nova (Scotia: == — 1,300,000 Quebec - 17,960,000 Ontario 2220 ee 33,917,000 Manitoba, 4,507,000 ~ Saskatchewan —_-____- — 11,649,000 Alberta 4,107,000 — British Columbia 8,637,000" Only New Brunswick would sub fer a loss of $450,000 under the pro- posed redistribution, In conclusion, the brief stated: “The proposals herein contained would, if carried into effect, re lease tremendous sums for expan- sion of industry and make possible the absorption of a large propor tion of the workers at present un- employed, at rates of wages per mitting a reasonable standard ot life. “The completion of the work in the interests of democracy, leit unfinished by Confederation, must go hand in hand with the comple tion of the work to bring economic security.
