Page Hight THE PEOPLE October 13, Unions Will Enter People’s Battle Parad The People To Sponsor Production To its productions of political significance, which in past years have included Stein- beck’s ‘Mice and Men’ and El- mer Rice’s ‘Flight to the West,’ Vancouver Little Theatre is adding Lillian Hellman’s ‘Watch on the Rhine’ as the first play of its 1942-43 season. Because of its significance and the timeliness of its message, The People has undertaken to sponsor a performance of this play, sched- uled to open in mid-November. Details will be announced later. ‘Watch on the Rhine’ has two themes: the unflinching courage of those who lead the anti-Nazi under- ground movement in Germany and the slowly disintegrating compla- ceney of typical American liberal- ism. A down-at-heel Rumanian aristocrat turned Nazi spy provides the catalyst that brings the struggle of these Opposing forces to its in- evitable and powerfully dramatic conclusion. The role of Kurt Miller, the anti- Wazi leader, will be played by John Goss, the noted singer. Editor Of People Appointment of Hal Griffin, former editor of The Advo- eate, as editor of The People was announced this week. At the same time it was an- nounced that Kay Gregory has been appointed manag- ing editor. e Greetings! Dominion 1062 GRANVILLE ST.

Three unions, Dock and Shipyard Workers, Shipwrights, Caulkers and Joiners, and the Patternmakers, have endorsed this resolution, while the Engineers, both AFL and CCL, have agreed to work in harmony with the conference, although tak- ing no definite stand. The Painters, favoring the six-day week for its own members, has accepted con- tinuous production in principle and will also work with the conference. Only two unions, the Blacksmiths and Plumbers and Steamfitters have rejected the resolution to maintain their advocacy of the six-day plan, and it is believed that, once the other shipyard unions have accept- ed continuous production, they will reconsider their position. The Boilermakers, largest and most influential of the unions, is planning to conduct a referendum on the conference resolution within the next few days. Expressing his views to The Peo- ple, Malcolm Macleod, one of the Boilermakers’ business agents, stat- ed that “the result of the referen- dum will have a tremendous bear- ing on the future of the trade un- ions in the shipyards. * *4 vote for the conference reso- lution will enabie continuous production to preceed under con- ditions most likely to ensure har- mony. A vote against the con- ference resolution will only place the unions in a most unfavorable light and leave them without a basis for negotiations,” he said. Aubrey Foster, another Boiler- makers’ business agent, toid The People that his sub-local at Hamil- ton Bridge had already endorsed the conference resolution, although it would have to be bound by the referendum result. termination for victory. and Shipyard Workers.

There are now about 1,200 Danish patriots in various prisons, some of whom have already been tried cn charges of sabotage, while the rest are awaiting trial. Many leading Danish citizens a short time ago were fined for tear- ing off placards issued by two Dan- ish anti-Semetic newspapers. Recently a two-day strike took place at a brewery in Copenhagen, resulting in removal of a fascist propagandist particularly hated by the workers. Strikes have also oc- curred in Denmark’s largest st.ip- building docks, the Burmeister and the Wain. Material conditions of the Danish people are deteriorating rapidly. Prospect of a good potato crop is not cheering the people, since they know from bitter experience that it will be “exported” to Germany. BEST WISHES for Continued 207 West Hastings Street The PEOPLE.
