Llewellyn Douglas TUESDAY and FRIDAY 5:45 P.M. CKMO By JEAN CAMERON Sec’y, Friends of the Mackenzie Papineau Battalion 4 aes office staff and his many friends had a pleasant sur- prise last week when “Slats” Mc- Laren arrived from Toronto un- announced. “Slats” is one of the veterans who was wounded and had to stay over in the Fast. He has a bad arm and has to undergo some bone-graftinge again in about three months. The operation was to be per- formed in Toronto but the west ern man got lonesome for our spring weather and came on through. His wound was caused by dum- dum bullets, a favorite trick of the fascists. Bad enough for the fighters to get them but think of the women and children wounded in a similar way. 2 Tvs men are in Vancouver hos- pitals now. L. S* Smith was operated on Tuesday and is not feeling very good yet. But he is going to have a good hand again and that’s all to the good. GCross-— ley is coming along fine and ex- pects to be out in a fe wdays. More will be going in shorily. ) HE hardrock miners have cer- tainly given good evidence of their support. The Bralorne Union has again contributed $25 from its treasury and promises te take up a collection. Tulese- qguah sent down $21 with a pro- mise of more, while the finest achievement of all came from the Cariboo-Hudson mine in the Cariboo where Joe Keenan, lons a supporter, sent down a collec- tion of $71. There are a num- ber of mines not heard from yet, and we urge them to do some- thine fer our committee and keep up the reputation of the workers in this basic industry. Camp 1048 sent in a huge par- cel of tobacco. This was a srand contribution and very much ap- preciated. We're going to get a rolling machine and get some of the veterans busy making cigar-— ettes for those whose hands are injured or missing.

Sawdust Consumers Are swindled By Fuel Men Numerous complaints from sawdust consumers that they are being swindled by fuel dealers was further substantiated by Mrs. Munrufet, 234 FE. Woodstock street, in a statement to the Advo- cate Wednesday. Sawdust supplied to Mrs. Mon-@tained from an old reserve pile on rufet by a local fuel dealer proved to be of no value to her, even when tried with other sawdust. The first supply was paid for, but a second supply from the same dealer she refused to pay for in order to square the matter. Samples. of the sawdust were Shown to civie officials at the City Hall but they claim that while knowing where the poor grade Sawdust comes from they are powerless to have the evil correct- ; ed, Mrs Monrufet stated. Residents in her district have complained about the low grade sawdust and civie authorities ad- mitted they had received numerous complaints from sawdust users, she elaims. The fuel is said to be ob- Marine Drive. The company has threatened to take the matter to court to regain payment of the sawdust delivered, but this has not changed her mind to stand pat on her refusal to pay. “What gets me is how these People are allowed to sell sawdust to consumers that won’t even burn With good sawdust and the city officials don’t seem to be able to stop it,” said Mrs. Monrufet. “If relief people get the same treatment, they would be stuck with the sawdust and would not be in a position to purchase any other fuel. it looks very much like a racket and I intend to do what If Can to expose it,” she said. Continued YOUTH CONGRESS through provision of jobs fer the nation’s young people and exten- Sion of social services. Qn all domestic affairs, their proposals constituted a sharp re- buif to such Big Business repre— sentatives as George McCullagh, indicating that youth, aiong with organized labor, wants no part of the Leadership League. In reference to unemployment, the Congress gave quick assent to a number of measures for public works projects, including construc- tion of the Alaska Highway, devel- opment of a publicly-owned hydrc- electric project on the Fraser River, slum clearance and housing. ‘The gauntlet was thrown down also to those BC industrialists who are exploiting the timber and fish- eries resources and leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. Passed with big majorities, in many cases unanimously, were “bills” calling for timber conserva- tion and reforestation, for selective methods of logging, for an em- barge on shipment of raw logs to be processed in foreign countries, for elimination of fish traps. Labor legislation occupied a big place in the Congress’ de liberations. Delegates urged in- stitution of the 40-hour week and minimum wage laws for Canada; amendments to the Factories Act regarding greater safety first measures; the eight-hour day for Coast seamen; for enactment of jegislation giving werlkers the Fight to organize imto unions of their choice. Support was given the Canadian Civil Liberties Union; the Quebec padiock law was strongly con- demned; absentee voting privileges were demanded for BC loggers, miners and fishermen The whole field of education and related questions was covered by a number of resolutions. Particular attention was paid to extension of the Dominion-Pro- vincial Youth Training Plan, stress- ing the need for a complete survey by the provincial government of opportunities for placement of youth in industry and agriculture, urging the establishment of more ecnters, particularly in rural cen- ters. A resolution urged greater ef- forts in combatting venereal dis- ease by providing for strict pre marital examination and the teach- ing of sex education in public and secondary schools. Another “bill” asked for a uniform policy of physical education, modelled along Similar lines to the province’s Pro- Rec movement, throughout Can- ada. Among the resolutions on foreign policy adopted were those favoring an embargo on war materials to ageressor nations and a boycott of fascist-made goods through insti- iution of prohibitive tariffs on the entry of such goods in Canada. One of the most contentious questions—the franchise for Orien- Unionists Micet On Absentee Vote Demands for the absentee ballot will be voiced by trade unionists and CCE MiLA’s at a public meet ing in the Moose Halli, 638 Burrard Street, tonight (Friday) at 8 p.m. Last week the Trades and Labor Council put itself on record as be— ing in favor of the absentee ballot and dispatched a night letter to federal authorities demanding such legislation following the reading of a letter from Angus MasInnis, MP, which urged the central labor body to take this action. Colin Cameron and Sam Guthrie, MIiLA’s, and a representative of the Trades Council are scheduled to ad- dress the meeting, which is spon- sored by the Pacific Coast Fisher- men, Salmon Purse Seiners, Inland Boatmen, International Woodwork- ers and the International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers. tals—saw delegates enter into a prolonged debate in the closing hour of Monday night’s session, With the measure first being de feated through lacking a 60 per cent majority and later passed by a vote of 78 to 49 after the ques- tion had been reopened. Congress also refused to approve a resolution sponsored by the Jap- anese caucus asking for restora- tion of Japanese boat-pullers fish- ing licenses, referring the question to a special committee of the Con- gress for further study in coop- eration with fishing unions. Only jarring note throughout the four-day session was the at- titude of a bloc of some 50 Jap- anese delegates, comprising a quarter of the voting strength of the gathering, who took a con- sistently obstructionist stand on all progressive measures and fought determinedly, though fu- tilely, against the embarzo and boycott resolutions and against those measures relating to Can- ada’s resistance to fascist aggres— sion. The Japanese group was even prepared to oppose a resolution urging suppression of the narco- tics trade im China until] sharply reprimanded. SPECIAL! While You Wait...

Ten Deaths In Woods For i939 Death of Peter Arens, 36-year-old employee of the Stoltz Logging Co. at Squamish this week raised the death toll in the logging industry to ten since the beginning of the year. Arens was instantly killed when a log came loose from a cold deck pile and rolled on him during ioad- ing operations. The toll of fatalities in the woods this year is lower than the corre— sponding period last year, but In- ternational Woodworkers of Am- erica officials attribute this to a decline in employment and not from any extra safety measures being employed.
