rejected by a vote of the mem-
bership, 54 to 46. Following
this vote, a petition demanding
expulsion was circulated among
the members, received the signa-
ture of ten members, and sent to
- the Grand Lodge of the union:
The expulsion resulted.

At a following meetin& of the
union, when the question arose
_as to who had circulated the peti-
tion, Irvine spoke in its defense
and referred to the signers as
“ten brave men.” As these lat-
ter were mainly GCFers or CCF
sympathizers, the petition can
be classed as .a @C@F inspired
procedure,

That this example, as well as
events at the IWA convention,
are not isolated and unfortunate
“accidents” can easily be proven.
This week again an obviously

fication which followed hydro
development in Ontario and the
State of Washington, McKean
declared the province was- even
more than ten years behind those
places in hydro development, and
that Premier Hart had himself
admitted this.

RED HERRING

“The announcement of the
BCHlectric Company’s intention
to spend $50,000,000 in the post-
war in development and modern-
ization is a ‘red herring”? drawn
across the trail to divert the
public from public ownership.
We have no more reason to be-
lieve they intend to carry out
this promise than the promises
they made in the past which re-
mained unfilled.”

“rom January 1, 1944, to
September 30, the six plants

Montreal, Windsor, London and
Winnipeg, have packed 4,186,916

said. “Since the opening in 1940
this work has involved the ex-

The people of Canada have
given 759,705 donations of blood
since January 1, 1944, to Sep-
tember 30, Dr. Eau ws Phair, chair-
man of the National Blood

“A marked falling off of
donors due, no doubt, to the be-
lief that hostilities were about
to terminate, was noticeable, but

in the newspapers and on the
radio there has been a modest
improvement.”
