inee;
Lodge 756; Frank Carlisle, of
the Plumibers and Steamfitters;
and R. K. Gervin, Trades Coun-
eil secretary. Gervin declined
nomination, and the final vote
placed Jack Henderson as first
choice with 109 votes, Tom Par-
kin next with 107 votes, Tom
Dunlop with 61 votes, and Car-
lisle had 32 votes. A motion
Was passed providing that the
runner-up, Dunlop, will qualify
as alternate aldermanic candi-
date should either “of the two
chosen fail to measure up to
property and other  qualificat-
tions.

A strong resolution for unity
of the labor vote was submitted
by the Street Railwaymen’s
Union urging the council con-
tact all other political groups
for purposes of unity and to
avoid splitting labor’s vote, and
the council publish its. civic
electoral program to acquaint
the public with the basis of la-
bor’s campaign. The resolution
was referred to the political ac-

tion committee for action.
COMPLETE UNITY

The 180 delegates present
at the meeting unanimously sup-
ported a motion placed by Elec-
trician’s Union Delegate Jack
Ross that the Council pledge
full support to the Council can-
didates. A resolution from the
executive proposing that the
Trades Council PAC meet with
the Vancouver Labor Council
PAC to discuss ways and means
of electing candidates in the
civic elections was passed after
considerable discussion. The reso-
lution pointed out that if the cam-
paign is to be successful, com-
plete unity must be achieved be-
tween the two labor bodies.

Communications from many
unions indicated broad support
in the Council for the civic elec-
tion campaign, and many unions
indicated that already funds
have been made available. A
proposal to place an assessment

of “not less than 10 cents per
capita” was defeated in favor
of one suggesting that unions
“donate as much as is needed.”

The placing of candidates
pledged to fight for labor’s ‘de-
mands in the civic field indi-

cates that labor is prepared to
enter fully into the governing
of local affairs, to extend the
influence ‘of labor for the bene-
fit of the people of this city.
Jack Hederson is well known
throughout the city and is consid-
ered a strong candidate on the
basis of his record in the Cana-
dian Legion and in community
affairs. Tom Parkin, Hender-
son’s running mate, is promin-
the active work he has done in
the organization of aircraft wor-
kers and participation in vari-
ous labor and civic activities
during the past few years. With
two nominees from the Vancou-
ver Labor Council entered on a
joint program basis, persons “in
the know” as far as civic poli-
tics are concerned concede la-

bor a better than even chance
of victory in the coming civic

cars which ringed the main gates
of the Ford plant for a 20-block
area.

The cars were mainly pro-
vided by UAW members but
the barricade was reinforced
by hundreds of cars belonging
to sympathetic private citizens
who voluntarily drove them on
to the picket line as did Wind-
sor’s bus drivers.

‘On Wednesday the union
cleared the streets of the barri-
eade as a token of their good
faith before sitting down to ne-
gotiate.

the Ford plant still walk 20,000
UAW members, the _ original
strikers of Local 200 found their
numbers strengthened by 10,000
members of Local 195 who walk-
ed out of some 30 plants Mon-
day in sympathy with the Ford
strike. They intend to stay out
until that battle is won.

Prepared to strike at a mo-
“ment’s notice are Windsor’s
bus drivers, the tunnel work-
ers who operate the tunnel be-
tween. this city and Detroit,
steel workers, bread and milk

drivers, brewery workers, gas
workers, typographical and
nearly every other key work-

er in the city.

lice are needed to protect the

October 1-4.

As the news that the nesotia=
tions had broken off became
known the picket line around the
plant was quickly strengthened
until it was a solid mass of

of sympathizers from CCL and
AFL unions.

The barricade is down but if
armed strength is used in an
attempt to break the strike
another barricade will be
thrown up. This time it will be
a living one, but it will be just
as impassable as that used on
Monday. Windsor as a whole,
from the mayor down, has made
it clear that this city will not
tolerate armed hooliganism in
an effort to break a _ strike
which could be settled quickly.
and simply if the Ford Com-
pany and the federal and pro-
vincial governments were pre-
pared to recognize their re-
sponsibilities to the nation in
the same clear-cut manner as
the union is doing.

Windsor was protested early this
week by Tim Buck, National
Leader of the Labor-Progressive

Acting-Premier [Ilsley at Ot-
