25 F lisley May Speak To- Ship Unions The shipyard unions will meet in Vancouver this weekend to discuss the future of British Columbia’s giant war-boomed shipbuilding industry. Recogniz- ing that reconversion to peace- time production will mean dras- tic reductions in employees and volume of work done in the province’s shipbuilding yards, and cautioned by statements by Spokesmen of the big shipbuild- ing companies who are already ealling for a sharp cut in ship- building costs, the unions of the British Columbia Shipyard Gen- eral Workers ‘Federation will ' discuss ways and means of con- -tinuing the industry in this pro- vince, and of protecting the gains made by ship unions dur- ing wartime. Finance Minister Ilsley, whose recent budget fell far short of taking the burden of taxation from the shoulders of the small income earner, expected in Van- couver at this writing, -will ad- dress the meeting if arrange- ments pending canbe completed. It may be expected that any discussion of the future of ship- building will include a discus- sion of the future of the Cana- dian Merchant Marine, and a strong bid will undoubtedly be registered for the building and maintaining of ships under Ca- Madian registry in Canadian Shipyards. At the time that the All-Union Veterans’ Reconver- sion Committee met with the federal cabinet in Ottawa, Re- construction Minister Howe and other cabinet members unof- ficially promised a number of Shipbuilding contracts to the western industry. Ship unions, however, are wary of comments Taised by cabinet members re- garding the “unusually high cost of shipbuilding in British Columbia”, Statements relative to the cost of shipbuilding have also been raised by elements among the shipbuilders who have not been distinguished by their pro-labor sentiments. “MOVING-TRANSFER” ewes ASH BROTHERS CARTAGE 2239 CAMBIE — FA. 0469 HAst. 93406 766 E.

Increas- ing the living allowance of vet- erans going to school or taking training to $80 per month for single men and $120 for mar- ried men, and financial assist- ance to those who exhaust their credits before completing train- ing, were advocated. A resolution calling for sup- port to the trade union move- ment stated that “the security of youth. is dependent on the suc- cessful fulfillment of the aims of organized labor’ and “the trade union movement is leading the struggle to maintain and raise our standard of living.” Another resolution called for assistance to the labor movement in or- ganizing the unorganized young workers “as one of the best ways to win the fight for jobs and full employment.” Pender Auditorium (Boilermakers) MODERN DANCING Every Saturday BOWLING ALLEYS Large and Small Halls for Rentals Phone PA. 9481 the prewar period, Tim Buck, national leader of the Labor- Progressive Party, speaking to an election rally in Kamloops, urged upon the voters to elect candidates pledged to fight for progressive unity. Buck, speaking in support of TLC should nominate and elect its two candidates. Cliff Worthington, delegate from the Carpenters’ Union, pointed out. that if the parties of the left are sincere, they will gladly step aside and if they do not step aside they will demon- strate to the labor movement that they are not sincere in their alleged support of trade unions. Delegate Archie Mathieson, Plumbers and Steamfitters Union, pointed out that labor is badly in need of representation on the civic administration, and stated that “‘we need labor men to do the things that need to be done for the people of Vancou- ver.”” After a lengthy discussion, the motion carried by a majority vote of the 133 delegates pres- ent. The decision to nominate and attempt to elect representatives of organized labor to the civic administration by the Trades Council, indicates 4 growing awareness on the part of organ- ized labor of the importance of labor representation in all levels of government. Although con- siderable objection was raised by delegates who professed to be thinking of “what is best for labor,” the majority of opinion at the meeting was in favor of running labor eandidates on a straight non-party labor ticket. It appeared obvious that a deter- mined effort will be put forward by the TLC, which will probably ‘gain the full support of the CCL unions, to oust the dead-weight of anti-labor aldermen of the ‘stripe of Buscombe and Bennett, and elect men to the city coun- cil who will act in a manner de- signed to benefit the citizens of Vancouver.
