B. Salsberg, LPP member of provincial parliament for the Ontario Riding of St. Andrews, following a personal ‘visit to the strike area where with the strikers. : x The appeal, contained in a letter addressed to all member of the Ontario legislature, demands: @ Recall of Provincial Police from Windsor. @ An invitation to ceme to Windsor and join. the picket line as a demonstration be- tween the people and their elected representatives. @ Immediate calling of an emergency session of the On- taric ‘house to deal with the strike, enact labor legislation making such strikes unneces- sary,. and pass other legisla- lation providing jobs, decent wages and homes, and increas- ing opportunities for workers, farmers and veterans.. ‘ e Compliance with the Mayor of Windsor’s. request > hat the government. take. over the Ford plant and arrive ata setlement, : Salsberge points out.that he personally visited, Windsor after reading that provincial police had been sent to the city over the pro- tests of the Mayor, and-:states that he warned of, Drew’s in- tention to move the. police in.on -| Windsor for the “totally uneall- ed for. provocative action” and stated that he ‘would join the picket line in a personal .demon- stration of solidarity with the strikers. ie He points out that Premier Drew “has ‘shown utter> -con- tempt for the people of the pro- vince and has pursued a mis- leading policy toward the Ford workers.” Salsberg° charges (a) that Drew refused from the first to enact necessary labor legis- lation making the strike unne- cessary, by sloughing the situa- tion off as “a federal matter,” and (b) that Drew refused aid to the strikers and their fami- lies; (c) Drew: and his cabinet did not. fulfil a promise that he Teachers Donate To Windsor Fund Prince Rupert. — The latest Prince Rupert group to swell the ranks of those supporting the Ford Strikers of Windsor was the Prince Rupert and District Teachers’ Alssociation, which on Tuesday:-night. decided to have a’ staff representative reeeive contributions in schools from teachers. The money con- tributed will. be forwarded to the strike fund as a contribution from the teachers. Organized labor in this north- ern industrial city was strongly behind the strike as the Boiler- makers and Iron Shipbuilders Union, Fishermen and other union locals collected for strik- ers in the shipyards and along the waterfront. .

Salsberg challenged the statement that the provincial police were sent inte Windsor “to protect property” as°un-_ true. He points out that there was no damage to property nor -has anyone been injured. He charges that police were sent “to start force and violence against the people.” re He denies the fact that there is a -.sudden’ emergency, and points out. that when he accused Drew of his intention to inter- vene, and the charges were de- nied, steps were being taken to send armed forces of the provin- (Continued on Page Z 8) a Greenall Leaves For [WA Meet Acting Board Member Jack Greenall, of the International Woodworkers of America, left Wancouver this week to attend the International Ex- ecutive Board meeting of the IWA, to be held in Portland, Oregon. Greenall will attend the meet- ing as a substitute for Interna- tional Board Member Ernie -Dal- skog, who with Harold Pritchett, President District One, IWA, and John McCuish, President Local 1-71, IWA, was refused admission to the United States by Immigration authorities. The board meeting will be the last held prior to the Interna- tional Convention to be held in Eugene, Oregon, on November 13, and to date, American immi- gration authorities nave not in- timated that any of the officers of the union who were previously denied entry to the USA, will be permitted to attend. Protests at the actions of the immigration authorities: have been forwarded to immigration © officials here and in the United States, from local ‘unions of the International Woodworkers in British Columbia and the United States. Appeals for public pro- test at what has been termed the “unfair and undemoeratic atti- tude of the United States Immi- gration authorities” have been made by the union. It is. expected that the ques- tion of the immigration ban on union officials will be raised at the coming convention, and a strong protest sent from the In- ternational organisation to U-S. authorities in Washington.
