Fez the first time in Canadian his- tory, these trade union candi- ~dates were not only endorsed by their unions but were unopposed by the Liberals, who voluntarily refrained from nominating in the three ridings at the union’s re- quest. The LPP is also supporting the UAW nominees, but the CCF rejected the UAW’'s proposal for a united labor slate and entered candidates in opposition. The campaign for Col. George Drew’s defeat centers around four main points—his opposition to family allowances, his refusal ~ to enact modern labor legislation, his rejection of the federal plan for a physical fitness and recrea- tion program provincially, and his dictatorial move in dissolving the legislature when his govern- ment was defeated on a want of confidence motion originally in- itiated by the LPP members. Organized labor’s charges that the Drew Tories were the har- bingers of fascism in Canada has been amply shown in the type of campaign conducted by the Drew gang, which has included open red-baiting, indirect. attacks on the San Francisco conference, slander against French Canada, and an attempt to disfranchise thousands of war workers in On- tario plants unless they could prove they intended to reside per- manently in the province.

Gidates in each constituency will certainly result in a number of Drew victories which would have otherwise been impossible. And E. B. Jolliffe’s recent charge con- cerning an Ontario Gestapo uhder Drew .— while most likely true — has failed to hide the ‘fact that the CCF provincially is refusing to tackle the real problems of the election cam- paign in a way that will win votes for democracy and pro- gress. Slavs Support Harold Griffin A’ well-attended meeting was conducted recently by the All- Slav Sub-committee for the fed- eral election in Richmond muni- cipality.

SAM CARR LPP National Organizer Candidate—Toronto ‘Spadina Woodworkers Organize Commenting on notices in the daily press to the effect that Jap- anese workers at Kamioops are being organized into the Inter- national Woodworkers of Amer- ica, District: President Harold Pritchett stated that the IWA recognizes the fact that while Canada is at war with Japan, Japanese living in this country are classed as enemy aliens. Since Canadian employers have been in the practice of employ- ing Japanese, the IWA must of necessity organize these Japan- ese workmen so that the employ- ers will not be in the position to use Japanese workmen to under- eut working standards and con- ditions gained through collective bargaining.
