= American Can Co. «Strike The dispute between the Uni- ted Steelworkers of America, *, Lecal 2821, and the American Gan Co., moved into its third week, with little hope apparent of a satisfactory settlement be- ing reached between company and union. All indications were that the American Can Co., without regard to the acute - food needs of the nation and the countries of Europe, was 0ing to impose its will on the ‘union and the public. The strike became doubly serious because all eanning facilities are either ‘Owned or controlled by the “American Can Co: This fact was highlighted in a telegram that was sent to the Minister of Lator from the Regional CCL, Officer in Vancouver urging im- mediate action to force agree- ment in the matter of union se- eurity for the steelworkers. The telegram, which under lined the deluge of wires, phone calls and letters which bombard-. ing the Congress office, pointed out that. the American Can Co., because of the monopolistic pos- ition it occupied in the can in- dustry, was prepared to jeopar dize the whole season’s erop in erder to ride roughshod over the will of its ‘employees. The tele- gram also pointed out that in the dispute not one cent of wages was involved but.that the difference between company and union was over the matter of union ‘security, and that the company ‘due to “monopolistic pride and arrogance was appar- ently willing to throttle the na- tion rather than recognize the plain, democratic rights of the workers.” The telegram demanded that the Department of Labor force the company 10 sit down with the union and effect an early settlement of the dispute. A spokesman for the union told P.A. that a telegram ‘had been received from Labor Min- ister Humpl:rey itekell asking the strikers toe return to work and promising to send Justice J. E. Richards to meet with representatives of company and union to mediate the strike. The strikers, however, refused the oifer, stating that while they were willing to discuss the dis- pute with the company and la- bsr Gepartment representaitive, they refused te work until such time as a setticment ig reached. It appeared cvident from the week’s developments that the -‘only step that can be taken in settling: the strike, is for the Labor Department to protect the right of the union to secur- ity, and force the company, which is taking advantage of its position as a monopoly to strangle food supplies, to reach a satisfactory -settlement with the union without further delay.

The paper, which is published by the Latin America Federation of Labor (Confederacion de Traba- jJadores de America Latina), will attempt to strengthen the ties that exist between the Latin American labor movement and that of the rest of the Americas and the world. In a column entitled “CTAL Opinions,” Vicente Lombardo Toledano, President of the CTAL states: “With the apearance of the first number of CTAL News, our first thought is to send fra- ternal greetings to the world Toledano Issues News Bulletin, Calls For World Labor Unity He states that when world la- bor met in London last February, a tremendous step was taken to- wards “unifications. and inter- national organization.” “That congress,” Toledano writes, “marked the beginning of a new era in international labor rela- tions.’ He points out that the coming years will face the labor move- ment of the world with grave problems and that labor has a de- cisive role to play in the national and international problems that will be part of the postwar trans- ition. He also states that the CTAL is preparing to take part in the September World Con- gress, “with even greater en- thusiasm and with practical sug- gestions based on its own experi- ence since its founding in 1988.” WEST END CLUB—Charles Caron: -HASTINGS EAST—Helen Mathieson: © : EEE E EEE EEE EEE ELE EEE EEE EEE EE bh LPP CLUB DIRECT (Clubs and Chairmen listed by Provincial Consti VANCOUVER CENTER ig GINGER GOODWIN CLUB—Glynn Thomas Meets every second and fourth Wednes- 5 day cach month, 1332 Davie St. ‘ .
