peal in a land where freight
rates are dictated by monopoly
conditions and not on any

 special_brand of human food.

When the CCF dragged ~the
Dawson Miners’ Union into pub-
lic endorsation of the CCF candi-
date, with little more than a
quorum of CCF-inspired mem-
bers present, they not only vio-
lated ‘the policy of their inter-
national union, but gave impetus
to the disintegration of the Daw-
son Miners’ Union, in a period
when a strong union is needed to
defend and promote the interests
of its members. While the CCF
was able to do this by spreading
the lie that the “LPP had sold
out to the Liberals,’ the vote.
contradicts this because a great
deal of the Liberal support here
went to Black. Had the CCF
maintained a working-class, posi-
tion in the elections and cooper-
ated for unity at the polls, it is
clear that many of the Liberals
would have swung behind labor.
But with the confusion and red-
baiting which became the order

of the day in both CCF and
Tory camps, the Liberals stam-
peded in all directions, and in
many cases did not vote at all—
and even boasted of this “virtue”
ef non-partisanship. The fiasco

‘of the Liberal attempts to nom-
Inate a candidate in Whitehorse

is in itself indicative of Liberal
indecision in a situation where
decisiveness was vitally import-
ant-to Yukon progress.

Scores of Canadians were de-
prived of the right to vote in the
Yukon Territory. on election day.
Places like Clear Creek, Cham-
paigne, Alaska Highway Main-
tenance camps, even in camps
close to Whitehorse, electors had
no opportunity to register their
vote. :

There was no advance poll
granted to Whitehorse, with the
result that scores of workers who
were “surplussed” after being
placed on the voters lists, could
have voted, and would have voted
had the opportunity been provid-
ed.

The people of the Yukon voted
against the past 25 years of Tory
inaction and reaction. Black won
on a minority vote; the total vote
of the CCF and Labor would. have
snowed him under; seven palls
out of twenty-two gave Labor a
majority over the Tory, and in
Mayo, oné of the Yukon centres,
Labor was only one vote short of
Black. In Whitehorse; where
Black characterized McEwen as a
“criminal” and “camp-follower of
the American Army,” Labor beat
him by 420 votes to 379. Black

CCF support in splitting the pro-
gressive vote.

Labor won in the Yukon be-

pledge is that we will still be
fighting with them for victory in
the peace.
