Three Town Hotels Sign Union
Agreement Here Last Week

Union agreements with the Hotel and Restaurant Em-
ployees and Bartenders International Union, A.F. of L., were
signed here last Thursday by the town’s three major hotels.

He also said the negotiations had
had their unusual feature since his
union had only received certification
as bargaining authority for two
hotels and three had signed. The
Maple Leaf had not been originally

included, by Mr. Abbott had offered
to sit down and negotiate too.
Commenting on his action Mr.

Abbott said he knew he would be
included sooner or later and had de-
cided to take part in the present
negotiations. As he put it “Unions
re just like your wife, you have to
live with them.”

According to Mr. Dye, the signing
of the three hotels only leaves two
iniJor hotels not under union agree-
ment hetween New Westminster and
the north.

the B.C. Juvenile hockey race in a

Bishop and Allan McDougall were
chosen.

B. Pollard opened the scoring in
the second period of Sunday’s game
with a Clinton marker. Phil Pigeon
had skated the puck in front of the
Kamloops net and passed back to
Pollard who rifled it home for the
score.

Allan Collier tied it up im the third
period when he took a pass from
Mike Dohm, flashed in front of the
Clinton citadel and fired into the
corner of the net.

Kamloops didn’t score again until
19:05 in the period when Clinton,
in a desperate move pulled Goalie R.

SATURDAY

The Memorial Arena resembled
the British Columbia Golden Gloves
boxing championships Saturday eve-
ning as Kamloops Juveniles battled
their way to a close, but bloody 2-1
puck victory over Clinton.

Trailing 1-0 entering the third
period, Kamloops won the contest by
a pair of goals by Stony Oishi and
Tony Collier. Clinton’s goal was
seored by George Pollard.

The final stanza was the gory one
of the game. Clinton’s Ogden, obvi-
ously disgruntled by actions of Kam-
loop’s Wally Black, sidled over to
Black and pounded him over the
skull with his stick.

Mr. Black’s head, not built for
such punishment, suffered to the ex-
tent that the husky Kamloops de-
fenceman had to be taken to Royal
Inland Hospital for stitching. Ogden’s
stick snapped with the force of the
blow.

of the stick, jumped into the fray
with sticks waving and tempers
flaring. E

As a result eight players were
hustled to the penalty boxes for
fighting. Ogden was given a match
misconduct for his part of the pro-
ceedings.
