Peace Paper

Hits Pearson

Says Thousands More
Jobless In Province

DAWSON CREEK, BC, July 21.
—‘Anyone who is kept so well in-
formed as is Mr. Pearson knows
full well that with the beginning
of 1938 business went into a. reces-
sion and instead of new jobs being
opened thousands of men have been
thrown out of employment from
one end of Canada to the other;
and our province has been no ex
ception,’ the Peace River Block
News here comments editorially on
Minister of Labor G. S. Pearson’s
recent radio attack on the single
unemployed.

The editorial states further:

“Surely he is not unaware of the

fact that the huge pulp and paper |
plants at Port Alice and Port Mel-,

lon have closed down thus deprivy—
ing hundreds of men of their jobs?
Surely he has heard that the Powell
River and Ocean Falis pulp and
paper mills are on half time? Sure-
ly it is not news to him that several
thousand BC loggers have been
released from logging camps?

“The simple fact is that, under
present conditions, the prospect of
these men securing employment in
private industry in infinitesimal,
and they should no longer form a
buffer between the federal and
provincial governments while they
guibble over responibility. These
men are not criminals, or even
foreigners, but average young men
from average Canadian homes. This
is a national problem.’

Montreal Police
Intensify Raids

MONTREAL, Que, July 21—
Since the refusal of Hon. E. Le-
pointe, minister of justice, to rec-
ommend disallowance of the Que-
bee padlock law, police raids on
homes and labor halls here have
been intensified. Woholesale con
fiscation of property by police has
mImarked these raids, with small 2r-
ticles of value found missing after
police left.

GOODWIN
photo of whose grave at Cumber-

“GINGER”

land, BG, is shown above, was
shot by 2 special policeman in the
hills above Cumberland on July
26, 1918.

Goodwin, a former vice-presi-
dent of the BC Federation of
Labor and later secretary of the
Wiine, Mill and Smelter Workers
Union at Trail, BGC, ied a strike
ef the smelter workers in that
company town. As a result, al-
though he had previously been
placed in Class D as physically
unfit when Conscription was first
enacted, he was re-examined,
this time placed in Class A and
ordered to report to military head-
quarters. A member of the Social-
ist Party of Canada and opposed
to conscription, he disappeared.

His death called forth memor-
able pretests from workers
threughout the province and 2
24heur strike on the day of his
funeral calied by the Metal
Trades Council and the Trades
and Labor Council met virtually
a 100 percent response.

Care of his grave has been un-
dertaken by the Cumberland local

Union.

Resolution From _ City
Mass Meetings Will Be
Presented To Council
Aug. 8

BARTON BACKS MOVE

Between four and five hun- |

dred people attended last Sat-
urday’s meeting at Denman
street auditorium held under
auspices of the Workers’ Alli-
ance. Speakers were Dr. A. H.
Barton, PhD, president of the
Federated Ratepayers Associ-
ation; Robert Lealess, secre-
tary of the BC Federation on
Unemployment; Rev. C. P.
Bradley of Australia; and H. J.
Smith, Workers’
spokesman.

The need for an adequate work
scheme to enable married unem-
ployed to feed their families pro-
perly was stressed by all speakers,
and was further stated in a resolu-
tion to be presented to social ser-
vices cOmmittee of the city council
on August 8.

Dr. Barton, Robert Lealess and
three of the audience were elected
to present the resolution and the
case generally for unemployed
families at the next council meet-
ing.

In a letter this week to Fred
Tyler, president of the BC Feder-
ation on Unemployment, FE. W.
Nicholls, Dominion director of
housing, stated that while in Van-
couver recently he discussed with
members of the city council and
other interested parties the Do-

} minion Housing Act and the INa-

tional Hfousing Act.

“There are at the present time
several projects being considered
for your city, which have as their
objective the building of Homes of
low cost and low rent,” he wrote.

Wicholis stated that up to June
30, 1938, British Columbia, under
the Dominion Housing Act had
taken 640 loans to the value of
$2,506,893, providing for 815 family
units.

Congratulating the executive of

the newly formed BC Federation on
Unemployment on the brief drawn
up by that body on its aims and
objects, Harvey Murphy, president
of the Ontario Federation on Un-
employment, in a letter to Secre-
tary R. Lealess commented on the
importance given to the -relations
between municipal and provincial
governments, declaring it to be of
great value.

“We in Ontario have placed in
the forefront as our main demand,
work and wages, with definite pro-
posals as to the type of work ad-
vocated,’ Murphy wrote, urging,
“We must not faii to warn of the
awiul waste in both human mater-—
ial and money that is caused by
present relief and unemployment
policies of all governments.”

Murphy stated are are affili-
ated 43 branches in Ontario doing
effective work for members. HEixe-
ecutive members visit branches
periodically to give guidance and
speak at mass meetings. Charters
are issued to affiliated groups.

Back New Deal

SEATTLE, Wash., July 21.—-
Washington Democrats rallied
behind the New Deal at the state
convention of the Democratic par-
ly at Tacoma, after an elaborate
plan by Governor Martin and anti-
Wew Deal forces to capture the im-
portant meeting had been exposed
to delegates. Reactionary right-
wing elements were decisively de-
feated after several hours’ bitter
debate.

Pretty Mitsgui W edding

Miss Janet Helen Henry
Marries Thomas Rottluff

MATSQUI, BC, July 21.—QOne of the prettiest weddings of
the season took place on the evenings of July 11, in the little
village church of Bradner, when Janet Helen, elder daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Henry of Bradner, was united in marriage to
Thomas C. Rottluff, son of Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Rotluff of Ridge-

dale.

The bride, who was -given in
marriage by ther father, wore an
Elizabethan bridal gown of snow
white satin, with insets of Honiton
lace trimming the neckline. Her
embroidered net veil fell in diap-
hanous folds from a coronet of
seed pearls, diamante and orange

blossoms. Her flowers were
Ophelia roses, valley lillies and
fern.

Mrs. K. Bloomfield attended her
sister as matron of honor, gowned
in Mauve net over taffeta featur-
ing short puffed sleeves and
graduating bands of satin marking
the hem line. Her head-dress was
in Mauve and yellow with a cluster
of contrasting flowers atop, yellow
satin streamers tied beneath her
chin held her headdress in place.

The bridesmaid was Miss Char-
lotte Rottluff, sister of the groom,
who wore ciel blue lace in reding-
ote style. Pink streamers held in
place her headdress of pink and
blue lace.

Her flowers were pink roses and
earnations.

The two little flower girls, Rae
Mary Bioom#ficid and Donna
Stewart, were dressed alike in blue
and pink organdie. They carried
baskets of roses, carnations and
snapdragons,

The train-béarer, little Richard
Rattluff, nephew of the groom, wore
white satin and velvet. Howard
Rottluff was his brother’s best man,
and the officiating clersyman was
Rev. Mr. Munroe of Chilliwack.

Mrs. Frank Thompson played the
nuptial music and during the sign-
ing of the register Miss E. Jones
sang “I Love You Truly.’

A reception was held in the Com-
munity hall, when Mrs. Henry and
Mrs. Rottluff, senior, assisted the
couple in receiving. A four-tier
wedding cake centred the bride’s
fable, where 200 guests sat down
to the wedding supper.

Bor her wedding trip to Cali-
fornia via Boulder Dam and Salt
Lake City the bride wore a grey
wool tailleur ,topped with a red

coat, and red and grey accessories. ;

Consistent Labor Supporter

Broadcast Sponsor Once
~ Railroad Union Treasurer

It is not difficult to find reasons why Dr. Llewellyn Douglas,
popular city dentist, so steadily sponsors broadcasts for the pro-

gressive movement generally,

concentrating on trade union

papers, socialist organs and other similar periodicals as a medium

of advertising.

An Advocate reporter learned in an interview

with him this week that for ten years he was a member of
Local 144, Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, being treasurer

for a number of years.

That was 36 years ago. When he
was 15 years old
he worked on the
railroad in Nova
Scotia for iL
cents a nhour, 11
hours per night.
Another reason
for the faith Dr.
Douglas has in
the labor move-
ment is because
his sons have for
the last three
; years seld him

on the idea that
this system of

“Dog eat dog,
and the devil
take the hind-
most,” has got
to be changed.
And it has been
over this period that the doctor
has enabled working class organ-
izations and periodicals to get over
their messages by radio.

A big, quiet-spoken man, Dr.
Douglas showed deep interest at a
question about the condition of the
teeth of poor children.

“You have no idea of the enorm-

‘Dr. L. Douglass

ous inroads on the health of chil-
dren whose mouths are in bad
shape because parents earnines low
wages are unable to fix them up,”
the doctor declared. “Tf only chil-
dren between the age of 8 and 10
years could get expert attention,
half the battle would be won.’ He
added that a large corps of dentist
could be kept busy for months on
the teeth of neglected city children.

Dr. Douglas stated that 80 per
eent of the public needed dental
attention and said that im his

opinion only a system of socialized |

dentistry
numbers.

The question whether it had been
worth while from a business point
of view to sponsor the broadcasts,
brought a slow smile from the
doctor who stated that while he
didn’t expect to make any fortune
from working people, there were
some who appreciated his interest
in the forces of progres. “One has
to live you Know,” he said.

He declared his satisfaction with
the content of the bi-weekly broad-
casts of the Advocate which he
sponsors, saying he felt he had
made many new friends.
