Six Labor-Progressive Party
Nominees In Montreal Ridings

At least six candidates in the Island of Montreal ridings will run for federal office

in the coming federal elections.

Fred Rose, M.P., and Miss Beckie Buhay, organizer for

‘Montreal and District, announced that candidates will be placed in the ridings of Cartier,
Outremont, Laurier, S. Lawrence-St. George, Mount Royal and Verdun.

_ Callimg for fhe re-election of
Fred Rose for Cartier, the LPP
Committee states that his work
in the House of Commons since
his election two years ago serves
as a testimonial, to his excellent
service on behalf of the people.
In frequent reports to his con-
stituents, he has stressed his ac-
tions in the fight for a full war
effort and future enduring peace,
‘for social reform, labor legisla-
tion and laws against racial dis-
crimination. He has constantly
consulted with his constituents
on questions concerning their in-
terests.. i
' In a speech delivered over sta-

tion CECF recently, Rose stated
in brief the position of the LPP.
He pointed out that the situation
was such that no party could have
an absolute majority in Parlia-
ment after June 11, and the
gravest danger to the people was

a coalition of reaction. “The de-

feat of the tories, whether they
call themselves Progressive Gon-
servatives or Groupement des In-
dependents, is the first task of
the electorate on=-June 11. The
LPP strives for a coalition that
will bring together “progressive

Toledano Condemns
Argentine Admission

SAN FRANCISCO— Speaking
at a rally of 8000 workers here,
called to hear the report of the
administrative committee of the

World Trade Union Conference,
Vicente Lombardo Toledano, pres-
ident of the Confederation of La-
tin American Workers, declared
this week that the admission of
Argentina to the San Francisco
conference was “a defeat for all
the democratic forces from Al-
aska to Tierra del Fuego.” The
conference action on Argentina,
he added, “will stimulate all anti-
democratic forces in the world
2nd especially in Latin America.”

‘Outlining the tasks of world
labor, Toledano declared that,
“anfortunately, military vic-
tory does not inevitably sig-
nify the victory of the demo-
cratic forces of the world over
fascism.” Therefore, he con-
tinued, world labor must strive
te prevent the continuance of
fascism anywhere and work for
werld labor unity and for “aid
to all peoples, especially those
of the backward nations,” and
these aims can best be acecom-

plished through the consolida-

tion of the United Nations labor
body.

CIO President Philip Murray
repeated the WTUC’s proposal
to the security conference that it
be invited to attend the confer-
ence in a consultative capacity.
Oraganized labor in the United
Nations, he said, has “a natural
interest’ in the structures. and
mechanisms to be set up by the
conference. Murray urged his “old
friends” in the AFL “even at this
late date,” to enter the world la-
hor body. “The door is open,” he
declared, “and there is a wel-
come on the mat.”

H. T. Liu of the Chinese As-
sociation of Labor declared that
the Chinese people “are forever
grateful” for the action of San
Francisco longshoremen who
struck in 1938 and 1939 in pro-
test against the shipment of
scrap iron to Japan. Other speak-
ers included Sir Walter Gitrine,
general secretary of the British
Trades Union Congress: Vasili
Kuznetsoy, chairman of the All
Union Central Council of Trade
Unions of the USSR; and Louis
Saillant, secretary of the French
General Confederation of Labor.

necessary leadership, mot sur-
rendering their identities but
realizing their common aim —
brosperity and enduring peace.”

In closing Rose stated, “The
victory of the peoples will make
possible long years of world pros-
perity on the secure foundation of
United Nations friendship and
cooperation. Canada as a leading
cxport nation must play her full
part in the reconstruction of lib-
erated Europe and Asia.”

Other LPP candidates for the
ridings to be contested include:
Gertrude Partridge, wife of Rev.
Glendon Partridge, a padre in
the Army overseas. Although the
mother of three children, she has
led in the fight on behalf of ser-
vicemen’s families facing evic-
tion. She will contest the riding
of Outremont.

Nat Gray is the Party’s choice
for Laurier. An adyertis ing
agent, he has devoted many years
of his life to the fight against
fascism and anti-semitism.

Lieut. Gordon McCutcheon will
bear the LPP standard in the St.
Lawrence-St. George riding. An
efficer in the Canadian Armoured
Corps, McCutcheon has been ac-
tive for many years in the pro-
gressive movement. In 1938 he
Was chairman of the Montreal
branch of the League for Peace
and Democracy.

an outstanding Canadian woman
educationalist who has acted as
President of the Canadian Teach-
ers’ Federation and Provincial
Association of Protestant Teach-
ers will represent the LPP. She
is a leader among both Protestant
and Catholic teachers. in the fight
for decent salaries and is an ar-
dent advocate of Canadian unity.

For Verdun, the LPP candidate
is Sam Bailey, leading trade un-
lonist, who in the “hungry thir-
ties” led the Verdun jobless in
the fight for better conditions.
Bailey is seeretary of the Execu-
tive Board of Local 144, Plum-
bers and Steamfitters’ Union,
which has officially endorsed his
candidature.
