post bonds of $250 to guarantee
that no further signs would be dis-
played at his premises which might
be deemed likely or intended to be
prejudicial to the efficient prose-
cution of the war.

Decision was reserved for a week
when his case eame before court
Feb. 19 and in the subsequent hear-

to use the signs only in connection
with his used car business when
Magistrate Wood said he would be
disposed to suspend sentence.

Since then one sign has been
‘blacked out’ with black paint and
displays no sign or motorgram as
has been the custom for many
years, while the other sign only re-
lates to the business.

HE ‘say the people, if given a
chance, would have expressed
themselves for peace,” he declared.
“The premier of this province has
stressed the need of preparing for
the problems of peace. He has said,
in effect, that the people have
more to fear from peace than war.
Mr. Farmer (S. J. Farmer, Liberal)
has supported him. That is an ad-
mission which is a terrible indict-
ment on our present system,”

At several points in his speech
opponents taunted Litterick with
his position on the war last Sept-
ember. Hitting back, Litterick ad-
mitted he had erred, declared:

“At the opening of the war I
believed there were possibilities of
its being transformed into a fully
just war for democracy. But
Chamberlain’s attempt to switch
the war, to conduct two wars, has
led me to the opinion I was wrong.
There is no chance of its becoming
a just war.”

Expounding his unchanged at-
titude towards fascism when J. S.
Lamont asked if he ‘now loved Hit-
ler,’ Litterick stated:

“T hate fascism. It grew out of
capitalism. It is nothing more than
the unbridled rule of finance capi-
tal, without a tingle of democracy.”

At another point in his speech
he declared that ‘‘fascism will nev-
er be destroyed by any war unless
it is a war of the people against
fascism. Germany and Italy are
not the only places where it ex-
ists.”

When allowed by his opponents,
who jeered him as ‘the member
from Moscow and sought constant
ly to divert his speech into the Soy-
jiet-Finnish conflict, Litterick ad-
vanced his position on provincial
affairs, urging unemployment and
health insurance and public works.

Soon after Litterick began his
Speech, J. Breakey, Liberal, rose to
advocate that the Communist mem-
ber be ousted, himself walked out
of the House. And as Litterick
concluded, George R. Renout, Gon-
servative, demanded that Commun-
ists be barred from all public of-
fice and deprived of citizenship,
“as in Hrance.”

Conservative Leader Errick EF.
Willis earlier urged that ‘Manner-
heim methods’ be used against
what he termed ‘un-Canadian’ ac-
tivities,

$7000 For Chinas
Eee Lule Dead

CRANBROOK, BC —The
Chinese community in Cran-
brook and Kimberley has
lost an esteemed leader and
all progressive people in this
district a good friend by the
death of Lee Luk here. Des-
pite the fact that he was
stricken with paralysis, Lee
headed a little group of
Chinese here who, during
the past two years, have con=
tributed more than $7000 to
aid China’s war of liberation

against Japan.

End Strike
At Pioneer

PIONEER, BC—After conduct-
ing a hard five month’s struggle
for a $1 a day wage increase to
narrow the gap between pre-war
wages and war time food costs
and union recognition, Pioneer
Miners’ union decided last Sunday
to end the strike and apply for
work in the mine, reopened last
week with 50 strikebreakers guard-
ed by 60 provincial police.

As a result of the decision be-
tween 75 and 100 union members
will probably not be reemployed,
while many are likely to be black-
listed throughout the industry.

While the entire British Colum-
bia labor movement rallied to sup-
port of the striking miners, contri-
buting thousands of dollars, all the
forces of the government and the
Inine owners were arrayed against
them.

Executive members of the union
were convicted of illegal strike ac-
tion, miners evicted from their
homes, water, light and heat shut
off by the company to make life
more miserable in order to force
them back to work. Even the
community hall, built with miners’
money, was barred to the strikers.

While strikers were prosecuted
by the provinciol labor department,
no action was taken against the
company when it refused to bar-
gain on an 8-point proposal as a
basis for settlement, agreed to by
Government officials, mine direc-
tors and strikers but later repudi-
ated by Mine Manager Dr. H. T.
James.

Strike action started Oct 8,
twelve days after Pioneer Miners’
union had wired the labor depart-
ment for a conciliation board to
negotiate demands for a $1 a day
wage increase, check off for union
dues and recognition of a bargain-
ing committee.

Two Face Trial
Under War Act

Wilfred Robson and GC. A. Saun-

ders, officers of the Canadian Labor
Defense League, were committed
to trial by jury when they appeared
before Magistrate H. S. Wood in
Vancouver police court Thursday
on charges of obstructing a police
officer in the execution of his duty.
They ‘were arrested last Friday
near Prior street carbarns while
soliciting funds from sireet rail-
waymen for defense of persons
arrested under the War Measures
Act.
J. Hart Livingston, CLDL coun-
sel, argued for dismissal of the
charge, but Magistrate Wood in op-
posing the motion cited the case of
Rex versus Gold in 1936 when four
men were convicted and sentenced
to six months imprisonment for
sellnig flowers on Vancouver
streets after haying been warned
to desist“ by police.
