YORK — General Motors: re- irant wage increases by the CIO United ile Workers, — PACIFIC ADVOCATE = is expected to affect seriously workers formerly engaged. in war production: “Assuming ‘that: each etiploy: ed person has, on an average, four: dependents, the. total num- ber which will-be adversely af- fected by loss of employment will far: exceed 20,000,000,” the AITUC, stated. The central gov- arnment of India and the provin- 2ial governments were’ urged to 2stablish tripartite boards, with ijgovernment, employer and labor representation, to consider ab- sorption of personnel and to adopt such social measures as: 1. Shortening of work by reduc- ing the work week to 44 hours as an immediate step towards an eventual 40-hour week. 2. An- nual 15-day vacations with pay. 8. Elimination of overtime. 4. Retirement of old workers with adequate protection. Finally, the AITUC urged that a scheme of unemployment relief be instituted immediately with a view toward mitigating the evils of interim unemployment and that every effort be made to foster the growth of existing industries, as well as the intro- duction of new industries such as shipbuilding, electrical, machine tools and chemicals.

Election Campaign Enhances LPP Prestige — PRINCE RUPERT, B.C.—‘‘As for the youngest and, undoubtedly the most vigorous.of the three candidates here in Prince Rupert, Bruce Mickleburgh finished a poor third, but he was a buoyant loser. doubtedly, won many new ad- mirers—admirers who may not have voted for him. Without question, we shall hear further _anon in the political field of the irrepressible young school teacher.” This editorial comment from the Prince Rupert Daily News sums up the city-wide favorable impréssion created in the pro- vineial election campaign by the Labor-Progressive Party and its candidate, Bruce Mickleburgh, in this northern city. With seven polis still to be heard from the standing was Brett 1690, Pattullo 1251, and Mickleburgh 505. Alderman Brett, the winning CCF candi- date, replaces ex-Premier “Duff” Pattullo as Prince Rupert’s mem- ber at Victoria, a position held by Pattullo for 26 years. Prominent CCF’ers. concede that while it was Brett who took- the seat it was Mickleburgh who led the fight against Pattullo, trouncing the former premier in j public debaté “at a Capitol Thea- tre meéting at which the CCF candidate failed to appear. The Pattullo campaign reach- ed a new low in political bank- ruptey, concentrating exciusive- ly on red-baiting, stirring up race-hatred - on the “Jap” ques- tion, and reiterations of Pattul- lo’s long experience. The CCF campaign was similarly bank- rupt from the point of view of putting forward any concrete proposals for the benefit of Prince Rupert and _ the north country. The lLabor-Progressive Party, on the other hand, put forward a: concrete program designed to meet the immediate and long- term needs of the residents, call- ing for fisheries conservation measures, aid to co-ops, continued shipbuilding, cheap power for In this: campaign he, un- new industries, government hous- ing and. other’ construction pro- jects, labor laws with teeth and adequate social security mea- sures. : ee ‘Pre-election predictions from all sides pointed to a close three- cornered contest, and CCF M.P. Archibald, who thad abandoned temporarily his seat at Ottawa to enter the provincial contest on the hustings here, began a vic- ious .red-baiting campaign against the LPP that rivalled anything William Randolph Hearst or Leon Trotsky were able to do in their palmiest days. While the LPP candidate and -platform won almost universal admiration and respect, hundreds of voters both on the coalition side and the CCF side who were dissatisfied with their own camp were held back from. voting» for Mickleburgh by a fear that: they might be “wasting” their ;yote on a minority party and helping cither Pattullo or Brett to make the grade. _ In the federal elections last June the LPP campaign in Skee- na rolled up majorities in all Queen Charlotte Islands logging camps, in Queen Charlotte City itself, and in all large canneries such as Butedale and Klemtu. All these votes were lost to the LPP in this’ campaign due to the failure of the government to provide facilities for getting the loggers and cannerymen on the voters’ list. In spite of this handicap the LPP held its own and rolled up 15 percent of the vote, slightly larger than the percentage gain- ed in Skeena federal riding last June. The stability of the LPP vote, the universal respect won for the Party, all indicate that the LPP is here to stay im the political life of Prince Rupert and the: north, and that its voice ‘will be heard in the crucial days alee’ td ® CAKES, SWEET GOODS FEEL EP EEL EE ELLE TE ELLE EP EEE ETE PELL EE EEL EEE, QUALITY BREAD oa SS SS SS Se SSeS SSS SSeS SS eS a oo )OOQOOOODODD© OOD 0000008909009 88 ©8000 9 052995 ©8SD555D CLASSHFIE D DEOQOH OOOO OOOO 008000 OOS OOOO 80 OO SD OO 92D8H9 55 HOO® DO4 A charge of 50 cents for each insertion of five lines or less with 10 cents for each additional line is made for notices appearing in this column.
