A number of delegates from farming constituencies protested that, despite the emphasis laid on the importance of finding a solution to farm problems by Dr. Lyle Telford, Len Shepherd, MILA, and others, insufficient time was being given to a dis- cussion on agricultural questions. Frank Knowles, Delta, reporting for the committee, told delegates that after discussion of several suggestions for im- mediate alleviation of the farmers’ plight, it was felt that there was insufficient time to enable consideration of specific recom- mendations. The convention adopted the committee’s proposal that a committee of five, representing all geographical areas and vari- ous branches of agriculture be appointed. Duties of the com- mittee would be to study the various problems affecting dis- tribution and exchange of agricultural products and report with specific recommendations to next year’s convention. Elected to this committee were: Gen Shepherd, MILA, Delta, chair- man; Herbert Herridge, Nakusp; ' however, D. Brice, Saanich; T. G. Gerhardiz, | Fort Braser; land. it was proposed that the com- mittee should work under the re- search bureau and study the prob- lem of eliminating duplication in milk distribution as one of its first tasks. A resolution demanding that the €CE cease criticizing the market- ing control boards because “un- fortunate and untimely criticism under CCH auspices has antagon- ized and alienated a considerable E. Mossop, Summer- satisfaction. The farmers do think, that the present legis- lation Can be amended so that it will be of real benefit to them.” Harmers favored marketing con- trol in principle, if not in practice, Herbert Herridge told delegates, relating this experiences in the Kootenays. Robert Wood, Armstrong, de- clared that the basic trouble was the lack of purchasing power ‘products . body of organized and cooperative | farmers furnished hour’s heated debate. Angus MacInnis, MP, declared he had found thaat the majority of farmers in BC favored market- ing boards or some similar form of marketing legislation, even if the present beards were not func- tioning altogether satisfactorily. Colin Cameron, MILA, who stated that he represented one of the richest farming areas in BC, did an not think farmers were at all satis-'! fied with the present the marketing boards. “In fact,’ he said, “I have found them unanimous in their dis— set-up of among the industrial workers to enable them to buy the farmers’ The question was referred to the agricultural committee for recom- mendation. A resolution from Armstrong Club was passed by the conven-! tion over the protest of George Weaver, chairman of the resolu-} ttions committee, who stated that ; a nhew provincial platform would | have to be written if it passed | Plebiscite On Franchise Is CCF Policy Decision Of Council Up- held When Chairman Casts Deciding Vote At Meet. ORIENTAL QUESTION KAMLOOPS, BGC, July 7.— Any CCF government elected to office in British Columbia will submit the question of sranting the franchise to Ori- antals to a plebiscite. This decision was reached at the sixth provincial conference of the CCF here on Sunday when the chairman, W. W. Lefeaux, cast the deciding vote in favor of the pol- icy determined by the provincial council] in HMebruary this year. The question came before dele- gates when George Weaver, chair- man of the resolutions committee, | recommended concurrence in a resolution condemning “the ob- vious political opportunism” of the folowing recommendation made by the provincial council: “That the ©CE do not favor the extension of the franchise without a plebiscite being submitted to the people of BC.” Angus MacInnis, MP, upheld the committee’s recommendation of concurrence in the resolution of censure on the provincial council. There was, he said, a vital point of principle involved. Stress was laid by Len Shepherd, MivA, on the strong feeling on this question, not only in the Fraser Valley and other districts with a large Oriental population, but throughout the whole of BC. A re- cent tour of northern BC had shown him the importance people placed on the Oriental question. “There are many more important problems facing the people of BC than the Oriental franchise. It’s not a thing the CCE can do any- | ‘that for the purpose of CCE pro- vincial elections the main plank Should be: | “Minimum wages or salaries for all necessary and useful workers, and minimum prices for famm prod- ' goods and services, and on taxes paid by these two most important | sections of the community.’ a | CLASSIFIED NX t ADVERTISING 4 f ADVERTISING RATES _ Glassified, 3 lines 25c.

Hither we must Geclare ourselves outright in favor of the vote for Orientals or we must include the proposal for a plebiscite in our platform.” Colin Cameron, MILA, could not see any reason why there should be any conflict between the pro- vincial council’s statement and the principle involved. While the CCF should expound the principle to the people, the plebiscite could be offered as a safeguard against pre- cipitate action. A first vote showed a majority ef one for the committee’s recom- mendation, but a recount produced a tied vote, W. W. Lefeaux casting the deciding ballot. Alberni Council Approves Zoning PORT ALBERNI, BC, July 7 — Formation of a zoning commission for the city -in order to facilitate the placement of Dominion Hous- ing Act loans was approved last week by the city council, when it was ascertained that no private company would loan funds for the DHA until zoning regulations were in effect.

Highlight of Saturday morn- ings session was a powerful appeal for more attention to be given to day-to-day problems made by Dr. Lyle Telford, MILA, during pres- entation of officers’ reports. “We must not expect people to come to us,’” he declared. “We must go to them. We have to deal with the day-to-day problems and show that we are practical and capable.” In this way, he said, the CCE could best show the people that it was not a body of abstract theorists. Telford also pleaded for more attention to be given to agricul- tural problems. “In the past,’s he said, “agricul- ture has not re- ceived its just§ share of our at- tention. Qne of < ae our tasks for the DR. TELFORD future is to give greater consid- eration to the farmers’ problems.” Assertion was made by Reginald Bullock, (provincial organizer, in presenting his report, that “most of our militants have been ap- proached by another organization. “Many of them accepted these proposals—and are still in our ranks,” he said. Bullock’s statement met ‘with objections from several delegates who challenged him to give in- stances. Bullock named four con- stituencies from which, he said, the executive had received com- | plaints, but pressed for further elucidation he could cite only one case in Dewdney riding. Two members of one club in that riding had declared themselves as Communists, he stated. The club had applied to the provincial ex- ecutive for a ruling and the ex- ecutive had ordered expulsion of the Communists. The club however, had declined to expel them and its charter had been suspended. in recommendines reorganiza- tion of the’ permanent elections committee set up in 1937, Bullock charged that “electors of both Vic- toria and Dewdney were openly threatened with reprisals and dis- erimination unless they voted for the party in office.” Me amplified his charge by de- elaring: “In the Dewdney by-elec- tion one of the largest firms in Canada threatened its employees with dismissal if they did not vote right or if they refrained fron» voting at all.” Robert Wood, CCE candidate in Salmon Arm in last year’s pro- vincial elections, cited a similar in- stance in his riding. “We should have something definite to offer the people in or- der to offset such threats and in- timidation,’’ he said. “We have a complicated program instead of something concrete.” Herbert Gargrave, provincial sec- retary, recommended in his report that CGE clubs should spend a greater amount of time “discussing the real problems confronting the working class.’ Club membership at the present time, he stated, stood at 3,523, with- 182 clubs in the province active or semi-active. Garerave also stressed the need for appointment of a field organ- izer who should be provided with a car equipped to be on the road the greater part of the year. May Day Endorsed CCF Convention Opposed To Railway Amalgamation KAMLOOPS, BC, July 7—Delegates to the sixth provincial conference of the CCF here on Sunday went on record as Op- | posing railway amalgamation or unification “until such time as the employees concerned and the population in the districts affected by the co-ordination are fully protected in their em- - - 3) ployment or transportation services, as the case may be. “that in case am- S ef- A rider added algamation or unification is fected any savings arising there- from shall be earmarked for the benefit of employees displaced.” The convention also opposed the absorption of the Yukon or any other territory by the Province of British Columbia, when a reso- lution to this effect from Terrace, BC, was unanimously endorsed. The words - “until after a ref- erendum vote on such absorption has been held in such territory and province, and has shown that 60 per cent. of the votes polled in both the territory and the proy- ince favor such absorption,” were deleted. An important resolution which met unanimous approval was that from Yancouver Centre urging the’ to take part in May Day. All members of the CCE were urged to become members of the Left Book Club by a resolution ‘from Craigflower Club passed by the convention. Another resolution censuring “the practice of a small com»mit- tee of the national council com- mitting the CCE on vital mat— ters of policy without consulting the various provincial organiza- tions,” went down to defeat. A substitute motion empowering the national council to decide emer- issues subject | to ratifica— | tion at the earliest possible moment was approved. Other resolutions endorsed by the convention included one plac- ing the CCE on record “as oppos- ing the introduction of the sepa- rate school system in BC and the allotment of any portion of pro- vineial revenue to the support of schools under the supervision or control of any religious denomina-— tion,” and another urging the CCF to develop a mining policy “that will encourage the prospector without alienataing mines from provincial ownership or control.’ Delegates were unanimous on a motion opposing the abolition of provincial governments “which would lessen the democratic con- trol over local administration of matters which are peculiar to each province.” ; Lengthy debate centred around a proposal to have delegates to CCF national conventions elected from the floor of the convention and not from the various constituencies as in the past. BE. BE. Winch, MLA, declared: “I think it is correct to say that the CCF in Canada lives or dies in BC. The party here is the spearhead of the whole movement. Therefore, it is essential that BC be fully rep- resented at national conventions.” July 8,193 LEBEN eed boasts cee aaah ca Ask Council | Name Dirty Milk Vendors’ Housewives in Kamloop: Send Delegation fj | Demand Consumers! ; Protection. CONDITIONS HIT KAMLOOPS, BC, July 7— Declaring the condition re vealed by a recent pathologist's report to be entirely unsatis. |j factory, a delegation of four women representing Kamloops housewives recently demanded — that the city council publish the © names of milk vendors who had been found selling dirty milk y in this city. 4 On the delegation were Mrs. Gi] A. Wellwood, Mrs. F. Whiting, Mrs, © E. Hutton and Mrs. J. Davies, all) members of Division 588, grand in ternational auxiliary to the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers. | ~ The delegation demanded thay — the names of the vendors be pub | lished in order to protect the con. suming public, but aldermen plead ed that the Kamloops Sentinel had refused to print the names because. it feared possible action for libel, Ald. Charles Spencer, chairman of the health committee, offered the excuse that “it was the wind blowing the dust into the milk? and said that there was “nothing dangerous in the milk samples classed as dirty’ ; The delegation warned the coun-| cil that “if something is not done you will hear a lot more from us” The pathologist’s report revealed that of 13 milk samples taken by city police, six were rated ‘slightly | dirty” and “dirty.” / = Ask Relief | Increases Alliance States Case To Coquitlam Reeve COQUITLAM, BG, July 7— De mand for 54 percent increase in re lief to met the rising cost of living was placed before Reeve McDonald of Coquitlam this week by the Workers’ Alliance. Request for re! lief allowance to be provided for a : stranded unemployed worker from Burn’s Lake, BC, was also made. The Workers’ Alliance sought the aid of the Provincial Federation on Unemployment, of which it is an affiliate, to press for an increase in relief allowances, and a letter was sent immediately by the Fed- : eration’s secretary, Reeve McDon- ald, asking him to support-the Fed- eration’s recent brief to Pattullo. The brief urges a revision of present relationships between Wic- toria and the municipalities, to be based on a report covering finan- cial circumstances of each muni- cipality which would be furnished by the department of municpal af- fairs. The Federation is prepared te assist local authorities in their demands for assistance from the provincial government, the letter to the reeve stated.
