also reiterated the hope that the
AFL “will be a member of the
new world labor congress.”

At the same time AFL inter-
national representative Robert
J. Watt, AFL adviser to the U.
S. delegation at UNCIO, re-
vealed today that the AFL will
support the incorporation of the
International Labor Organiza-
tion as the main arm of the
economic and social council. The
ILO is represented at UNCIO
by government sxrepresentative
Carter Goodrich of the U.S., em-
ployer representative Sir John
Forbes Watson of Britain, and
ILO acting director Edward J.
Phelan, ILO legal adviser C. W.
Jenks and Labor representative
J. H. Oldenbrook, who is also
attending the world labor meet-
ings for the International Trade
Secretariats.

Meany
Opposed

NEW YORK — Expressing a
“vigorous opposition” to AFL
secretary-treasurer George Me-—
anys Stand on international la-
ker unity, 20 officials of Hotel
and Club Local 6, largest affli-
ate of the Hotel and Restaurant
Employes International (AFL)
this week charged that Meany
prohibited free discussion when
he delivered a report on the AFL
attitude toward the world labor
conference before the APL Gen-
tral Trades and Labor Council
here two weeks ago.

in a statement published in
their union organ, the AFL
leaders point out that-in the
audience “were many strongly
favoring AFL participation in
the world labor conference’:
but that after Meany con-
cluded his talk “the meeting
Was quickly brought to a close
and adjourned without any
free discussion which those
present certainly expected. It
was the feeling of AFL lead-
ers who were present that if
the ‘freedom’ of which he spoke
is to be lived up to, this ques-
tion of AFI participation in
world affairs must be on the
order of business for full dis-
cussion.”

In his address, Meany assert-
ed thateSir Walter Citrine, gen-
etal secretary of the British
Trades Union Congress had “en-
couraged the forces of disunity’
by calling\a world labor confer-
ence. He also implied that the
TUC sought to pack the confer-
ence with its supporters when he
pointed out that in the case of
many of the British colonies rep-
resented “a careful search of the
records of the International Fed-
eration of Trade Uniens and of
the International Labor Organ-
ization fails to reveal any mem-
tion of trade union movements
in these countries prior to the
London Conference.”

The fact that “representa-
tives of these hitherto unknown
labor groups came to London by

airplane under arrangements
made by the British govern-
ment,” he added, indicates “to

what extent Sir Walter and his
friends in the British govern-
ment strained their efforts to
bolster up British: representa-
tion at this conference.” Reiter-
ating the AFL’s refusal. to meet
with Soviet trade unions, Meany
asked: “What could we talk
about? The latest innovations
being used by the secret police
to ensnare those who think in
opposition to the group in pow-
er? Or perhaps bigger and better
concentration camps for political
prisoners ?”’

Labor Arts Guild

{pete Labor Arts Guild will inaugurate a series of Creative Art
: Classes for Children, commencing Friday afternoon, May alas
from 2:00 to 4:00 o’clock, at the home of Mrs. L. C. Sander-
son, 1461 W. Georgia, to be conducted weekly for pre-school
children between the ages of one and six. A further course for
Seven to twelve-year olds. after school
will be announced as*soon as there is suf-
ficient registration to warrant this. Indi-
vidual fee, 35 cents per lesson, any age.
These unique classes will be conducted by
Mme. Maedi Kals, whose intensive studies
for this specialized training in Vienna, un-
der the eminent psychologist, Prof. Franz
Cizek and her years of practical experi-
ence as his assistant, have particularly
qualified her for this important work with
the very young. The Cizek course has met
with phenomenal success elsewhere, notably
in Vienna, Russia, New York and other lead=
ine centres; and the Guild is privileged to
accept Mme. Kals’ offer to organize such classes in Vancouver,
under its auspices, with her own emphasis on securing a sub-
Stantial section of enrollment from among working class chil-
dren and youngsters of trade union families. Mme. Kals ‘will
welcome a note or telephone call at 1711 Drummond, Al 0438-R,
for further particulars.

Collective work that supplants competition with co-oper-
ation, the discipline imposed by the children upon themselves,
and the psychological basis for developinge natural constructive
tendencies in a natural manner are highlights of this social
training designed to create not only artists in the true sense,
but also well-ordered human beings and responsible citizens
Equipped to confidently assume their full obligation to society.

THEATRICAL MAKE-UP COURSE

Another new course which the Guild is proud to announce
is that offered by Vivien Ramsay, well known in dramatic circles
as director, costumer and make-up expert. Mrs. Ramsay will '
open a class in theatrical make-up on Tuesday, May 8, in the
John Goss Studios, at 8:00 pm. Tramed make-up artists will
be an invaluable asset to future productions of the Drama Group;
and it is hoped that a substantial number will take Advantage
of this opportunity to avail themselves of the some training as
given by Mrs. Ramsay in the UBC summer course.

AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHERS WANTED

A long-standing, need of the Guild was forcibly brought
into perspective this week upon receipt of a telegrom from the
National Film Board requesting air mail photographs of mem-
bers at work to be exhibited at an art centre display now in
preparation in Ottawa. Unfortunately, no such material exists;
but we never again want to miss such an opportunity to stimu-
late labor-art moyements elsewhere. So, if you are an amateur
photographer, your membership in the Guild can make a real
contribution in relating your specialty to our activities. And you

a thrilling program of spirited workers’ songs. Alas, all these
have gone unrecorded. But there will be many other scenes of
equal appeal. So come forth, ye photographers!
