ith hoe ceaene ce -ent among trade unionists for Aldermanic Candidates Cont. 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 Tom Parkin, Aeronautical campaign.

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. But around the main gates of 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. Blackwell’s statement that po- lice are needed to protect the plant in case of an explosion in the gas plant of the power house was exposed this week by mem- bers of the Gas Workers’ Union who stated that all main gas CASH FOR YOUR EMPTY R The quantity of bottled beer which can be made _ available to the public is directly affected by the number. of empty beer bottles which are returned A definite shortage of empty You can help to alleviate this condition and ensure the future supply of bottled beer by returning empty beer bottles promptly to any of the addresses listed below: YOU WILL RECEIVE 25c PER DOZEN DELIVER THEM TO ANY OF THE FOLLOWING ADDRESSES: St. 115 E.

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. Sending of armed police to Windsor was protested early this week by Tim Buck, National Leader of the Labor-Progressive Party, in the following wire to Acting-Premier [Ilsley at Ot- tawa: “Canadian people shocked by announcement that joint forces of more than two hun- dred provincial and Dominion police dispatched to Windsor for declared purpose of break- ‘ iF YOU ing. picket line of workers.
