Gov't Withdraws Order

the provincial government whe
Wismer abandoned the order for

“

But the attorney-general has aS
given up the fight entirely, he is
merely retiring for the present in
order to have the order issued last
October for a reduction in the
price of gasoline of three cents,
appear in a new armor plate and
more impregnable to attacks from
the oil companies.

BC Goal and Petroleum Products

Control Board Act passed at the
last session of the legislature or-
dered a drop of three cents in the
price of gasoline, but it was im-
mediately attacked by the oil com-
panies who won an interim injunc-
tion restraining the government
from continuing to effect its order.

The Court of Appeal last month
confirmed Mr. Justice Manson’s
interim injunction ruling, and the
hearings were for a permanent one
to stop the government's order for
the three-cent drop, but now the
battle has veered around to test
the validity of the act, since the
government has abandoned that
part of the order.

Hearings are expected to occupy
a full week.

Federal government officiais do
not want to be heard on the issue,
but are reserving the right to be
heard at a later date should the
case go farther than the present
hearings.

but a more energetic campaign is
planned. Cars will be used on the

streets during the protest walk
where the general public can reg-

ister their approval of an embargo.

One delegate reported Sydney In-
let mine, which Japanese owned, is
working at full capacity Sundays,
holidays and overtime turning out
copper ore for the Japanese war
machine.

Another delegate stated that only
junk dealers were being hit at pres—
ent in the serap iron picketing while
CPR and CNR were allowed a free
Land in shipping carloads ef old
wheels.

Meanwhile interest of New West
minster citizens Is focussed on the
meeting in the YMCA, Royal Ave,
on Sunday at 3 pm, where the Wom-
en’s Christian Temperance Union
will establish an Embargo Council
in cooperation with other organiza-
tions and plans a canvass for sig-
natures to the embargo petition.

Wanaimo and district church min-
isters have mapped out their
frounds for a thorough canvass of
the city for signatures to the pe-
tition, which is arousing interest

daily.

Reducing Price Of Gas

Major oil companies won another round in their bicker with

n Attorney-General Gordon S.

line upon resumption of the injunction hearings Monday.

Other speakers included L. H. CG.
Phillips, president of the North
fsland Trollers’ Ass'n, and dele-
gates from Washington State.

Business Agent George Mililler’s
report declared the SPSU had
gained 100 members in the past
year and now represented the
majority of purse seiners.

Keynote of his address stressed
the need for uniting existing fed-
eral unions in the industry into
one organization, and declared for
provincial administration of BC
fisheries under federal control.

Elgin “Scotty’ Weish, a leader of
last year’s seine boat strike, was
elected president for the comins

term. Other officials are Marion
Ruljanorich, vice-president; George
Miller, secretary-treasurer, reelect-—

Hendersoncs Role
Explained By RPWU

Provincial executive members of
the Relief Project Workers’ Union
drew the attention of the People’s
Advocate this week to last week’s
story under the heading “Trotsky-
ites in Project Camp,” which re-
ferred to Henderson, Rod Young
and Travers.

The first named, George Hender-—
son, is
the latter two individuals, officials
state. As a matter of fact it was
his visit to the camp as provincial
crganizer of the RPWU which
brought Young and Travers into
the open, exposing their anti-union
activities.

The mistaie in The Advocate
was due partly to lack of explana-
tion in the news item received
from union members.

And as the official newspaper ha
Vanguardia says, “If necessary all
Spaniards from 12 to 80 will be
called on to collaborate.”

The resistance in the face of
tremendous difficulties is astonish-
ing. In taking Valls, the Italian
artillery poured 7000 shelis against
one hill, Yet when the infantry
attempted to advance they were
still prevented by machine sun fire
from the hill. For an hour and a
half two men with a sun held up.
a whole Italian battalion, decimat

ing two companies. And even they
got away, guns and all.
Meanwhile on the southern.
Estramadura front General Mi-
aja’s bid to cut Franco Spain in
two brought government forces
within some 70 miles of the Por-
tuguese border and threatened

the fascist commanders com-
munications between his north-
erm and southern commands.

Pressure on the Catalonian front
was relieved as Franco was forced
to move reinforcements into South-
ern Spain as Miaja’s troops
Smashed westward in a drive that
has netted the government more
than 400 square miles of territory,
has captured several thousand
prisoners and netted a large
amount of war materials.

A significant development was
the moticeable let-up in aviation
raids by Franco’s forces on the
Catalonian front, making it appar-

ent that he had been forced to
withdraw planes to reinforce his
dispirited troops on the Estra-
madura. .
