Other evidence revealed that F.

“The court case arose out of
the dismissal of a plant em-

Company for twenty-three years.
The employee asked if his work
was satisfactory and was told
that il was,” stated Bill White.
“Upon asking if it was for union
activity, however, no reply was
given.”

“The general attitude of this
company is decidedly anti-union,
and the sentiments expressed by
Caplette and other officials of
this company bear out this con-
tention,” White continued. “Un-

demands of organized labor for

some of the questions that labor
wants answered,” White stated.

.\DVOCATE — PAGE 7

A mass meeting of over one thousand citizens met in
Boilermakers’ Hall in Vancouver on Tuesday his week and

heard speaker after speaker condemn the

Prospective pass-

age of “Bill 15,’’ The National Emergency Powers Act, and
forwarded a resolution to Ottawa demanding that Clause

G, of Bill 15, be deleted.

“There are already signs de-
veloping of a new economic
erisis”’, ,stated Austin Delany
City Organizer of the Labor-
Progressive Party, addresing the
meeting. “In the process of fight-
ing for our rights as Canadians,
our civil liberties are an indis-
pensable weapon. If Section G
of Bill 15 is passed, the author-
ities will be taken away from
you and me the only weapon we
hold for fighting for our basic
civil rights.”

Delany compared Section G
with the infamous Padlock Law
passed by Duplessis in the pro-
vince of Quebee in pre-war
years. “Drew and Duplessis are
both in opposition to the pas-
sage of this piece of legislation”,
he stated. “But we ure not to be
misled. Their putpese in fighting
the Bill is to maintain their prv-
leges and fight federal control
of matters pertainmg to the wel-
fare of the people. jsut Drew and
Duplessis would be the first to
introduce padlock laws if they
were in a position to do so.

He pointed out that opposition
to the whole Bill would not be
correct. “There is a need to ex-
tend the War Measures Act into
the reconversion period to .con-
trol prices, and prevent infla-
tion,” he said. “But the section
to which we are opposed presents
fertile ground for the practices
of racial prejudices. Whenever
the question of race prejudice
enters ,into our considerations
we see the face of fascism.”

Delany deplored the anti-Jap-
anmese sentiment that shades the
attitude of many people, and
stated that anti-Japanese and
anti-semitic sentiments are one
and the same thing. He sharply
criticized those who group all
Japanese as enemies of this
country, and pointed out that the
Japanese enemies of Canada are
these who conspired politically
against this country.

inaJ piece of legislation,” Delany
stated, “Oppose, destroy, Bill 15”.

Elmore Philpott, well known
columnist, stated, “Bill 15 is not
going to become law in this
country, in spite of any strange
doctrines that may come from
the fleor of Parliament”, He
pointed out that in Germany, the
silence of the German people in
the face of fascist domination
revealed that silence not only
gave consent, but silence made
the people accessories to the
crime of fascism. He traced the
fight for freedom down through
history, and recalled Section 98,
“the most iniquitous piece of
legislation until Bill 15”.

“Bill 15 is not just’ an aca-
demic Jaw, it has been placed
on the statute books because
this country is headed for a
real show-down. This piece of
legislation will, if put on the
statute books, take away the
citizenship not only of Jap-
anese, or Chinese, or FEuro-
peans, or even Englishmen, but
will take away the citizenship
of all Canadian citizens.”

“I for cne do not.intend to let
the government at Ottawa get
away with it”, he sated in com
clusion. :

Garfield King, legal counsel
for the Civil Liberties Union,
gave .a-_legal.-interpretation of
Bill 15, and other speakers ad-
dressing the meeting were Mrs.
Dorothy Steeves, Rev. Hugh Dob-
son, and V. J. Rowbottom. Copies
of the resolution demanding that
section “G” be deleted from the
Bill, were sent to the Prime Min-
ister, Minister of Justice, Min-
ister of Labor, Premier John
Hart, and the press.
