Leader of the Labor- Progressive Party: “The serious deterioration in international relations due to Anglo-American violations of Potsdam Accord is cause for grave alarm, jeopardiing the possibility of achiev- ing enduring peace. Instead of continuing policy of co- operation, based on unanimity amongst the main powers, reactionary forces in the USA, Great Britain and Canada are pursuing atomic bomb diplomacy aimed at establish- ing an anti-democratic, anti-Soviet bloc leading back to Munich anda third world war. and Japan; “Strongly urge that you speak for Canada in demand that the Potsdam Agreemen be adhered to in Germany self- determination and independence for the colonial peoples be adhered to; that the atomic bomb be placed under control of the United Nations Organization for-purpose of maintaining peace. Canada’s vital national interests depend upon and demand this course.’’ The use of power saws in the British Columbia logging indus- try was recognized recently by District Council. No. 1, Interna- tional Woodworkers of America, as a serious threat to conditions now prevailing in the industry. Men, in most cases returned veterans, have been released from power saw schools and are being allowed to buy the saws and go into the woods to fall timber. The union points out that im most cases the operators re- leased from schools are totally inexperienced in the logging in- dustry and consequently create a threat, not only to themselves, but to the safety of other men in the woods. The fear is also expressed that the power-opera- tors will-be used as a means of breaking down ‘wage scales of experienced timber fallers. The [WA Council has ordered an immediate investigation into the matter of power saw opera- tors. The union points out that similar conditions have con- fronted the union in the State of Washington, and the union there has. adopted three rules to stem the speed of this condi- tion. 1. That no one member of the union may be allowed to own one of the saws. 2. That three men must be Placed on each saw. 3. That each man operating IWA Council Guards Against Threat To Wage Standards & the saw must be paid at the rate of $15 per day. In order to protect other mem- bers of the union and maintain wage rates at present prevailing in the woods, .the Council has urged that anyone found violat- ing the rules be severely fined. We regret to announce the death of an old comrade, Dan Pereyma, whese funeral took place from the Ukrainian Labor Temple on Oct. 13. Born in the Ukraine 64 years ago, Dan Per- eyma came to Canada in 1902 and to B.C. in 1909. His politi- cal beliefs more than his nation- al origin, was the cause of him spending four and a half years in an internment camp during the first World War, where he contracted the trouble that ul- timately caused his death. International organizer, Fred Keely of the IBEU, paid tribute to his long and steadfast mem- bership in that union which he joined in 1922. He was a member of the Communist party and ac- tive also in the ULFTA, being known among the members as “the father of the choir.” financial knock out? knockout punch? expenses.

Shantung port held by the 8th Route Army only” : miles south of Port Arthur, world attention is focused on the purpose behind American’ man- oeuvrings in. China. Coupled with ceaseless demands from General Marshall and other American military and naval bigwigs for a huge peacetime army and navy, the landings of marines in areas liberated and now held by the Chinese Red Army have taken on an ominous aspect for the unity and peace of new China and the world. James S. Allen, writing in the Sunday Worker, points out that the Chinese Route Army troops are liberation troops who ‘have already liberated _ the North China area from Japanese dom- ination and have squeezed the enemy into the main cities: ‘The purpose of our landings, among other things ,is to prevent the Sth Route from coming into the cities, and to hold them for the reactionary Kuomintang clique with rules at Chunking’”, Allen states. After consultations with the leader of the 8th Route Army and a personal inspection of the area, the Admiral admitted that “this city is well policed and there are no disorders”. He stated further that he found “no military reason. for landing United States troops time’’. The Chinese Communists have not been slow to recognize the danger of American interven- tion arising out of planned or engineered disorders.
