The Soviet Union, he stated, bas shown mankind how to fight for their countries independence — ‘From now on we can regard ‘our Motherland liberated from | the threat of German invasion in the west and from Japanese aggression in the east. The long- awaited peace has come for the peoples of ‘all the world.” Meanwhile Winston Churchill, while sending greetings to the So- viet Union on its anniversary, continues to advocate the pow- er politics which have charact- terized the contributions of the Western powers during peace ne- gotiations and led to the break- down of the conference of for- eign ministers in London. He has advised Labor Prime Minister Attlee to support U.S. President Truman in his attitude of secrecy on the atomic bomb. The foreign policy of the Labor Government has conformed so much to Tory wishes so far it is to be expected that Attlee will follow this advice. Such a course ean only contribute to the pres- ent strain between the Allies.

Tom Parkin, The basis of unity was forged as delegate after delegate rose to condemn past “go-it-alone” policies of the Trades Council and demanded complete unity of the TLC and Vancouver Labor Council in the campaign. Dele- gate Bill Rigby, United Fisher- men and Allied Workers Union, stated that his union welcomed a recommendation of the TLC executive, calling for joint ac- tion in the coming civic cam- paign, and stated that this ac- tion would provide the basis for long awaited unity between the two Labor councils. Robert Trades Council Names Civic Candidates Labor entered the civic aldermanic campaign this week, as delegates to the Vancouver, New Westminster and Dis- trict Trades and Labor Council overwhelmingly selected youthful recording secretary of Aeronautical Lodge 756, and Jack Henderson, member and President, Pacific Command Canadian Legion, as labor candidates in the coming election race. Vancouver School Board Cormack, New Westminster Streetrailwaymen, protested the proposal for unify on the basis of the Trades Council attitude toward the CCL Shoemakers’ Union, and demanded that the Council be consistent in its at- titude toward the CCL. The over- whelming sentiment of the meet- ing, however, was for unity be- tween the two councils.

ITIATIONS Company Balks, Intervene olice General e Threat Enhanced WINDSOR, Ont., Nov. 7 — Negotiations for the settlement of the Ford strike appeared to have broken down Wednesday night with reports that company officials were arrogantly turning down all proposals made by the union for a settlement. ; Meetings which Begor Tuesday between the UAW, Labor Minister Humphrey Mitchell and the company bogged down Wednesday night when a_ scheduled get together between union officials and Mitchell were cancelled. While no formal state- ments have been made by either Mitchell or union lead- ers it is reliably reported that Mitchell is prepared to ‘recom- mend to the Dominion Cabinet that it pass an order-in-council setting up a special tribunal to arbitrate the strike. This action would be definite victory for the Labor movement across Canada. It is said that the union was willing to agree to discuss a compromise on the question of union security but that the com- pany would not listen to any pro- posals no matter how modified on this question. In effect nego- tiations broke down around the one point that the entire Labor movement across the country is prepared to battle along with the UAW to win. Throughout the present nego- tiations there has hung the re- peated threats of Blackwell that he is prepared to call in troops to maintain what he terms “law and order.’ It is known that Blackwell called Drew immedi- ately became known that ne- gotiations had broken off. Whether his call was an appeal for troops is not known yet. Tt is known that if troops are brought in iti will mean a general strike in Windsor. Both AFL and CCL unions have made this clear and only the opening of negotiations have prevented sympathy ac- tion thus far. Such action coupled with the decisions of the Labor move- ment across the country could lead to a nation-wide sympathy strike of one or more days’ dur- ation. The Drew government has al-" ready attempted to create blood- shed by threatening the use of armed provincial police and RCMP as strike breakers. If it had not been for the prompt action of the UAW mem- bers, plus that of thousands of Windsor citizens who are not union members, blood would have flowed on the picket line on Mon- day. This was only averted when the armed strikebreakers were prevented from access to the pic- ket line by a barricade of 2,000 (Continued on Page 8) = CLartietiae roe thes ey agen
