THAT ALL BER WORKER Blubber Bay Fights On Interest in the eleven-months old Blubber Bay strike received new impetus this week when word was received from th CLO, affillatd Longshoremen’s and Ware- housemen’s Union that they are now in a position to give long-deserved treatment to the large cargoes of “scab-lime” being shipped to U.S. ports. The letter-sent to the B.C. Coast District Council by Matt Meehan stated in part, “If you can give us in- formation of the lime from this plant being discharged in any IL.W.U. port, we will be pleased to give you every assistance.” Encouraged by these prospects and by the release of three more of our brothers from Oakalla, the reports reaching here predict of new activities. This week the District Council, and particularly the Blubber Bay Local, was glad to greet Jack Hole, vice-president of the Council and former secretary of Local 163; Ed. Stewart and Joe Jacobs, who had been detained by the law for daring to lift their hand against the batons of strike-breaking police. These men have been clubbed, abused and persecuted; their leaders have been jailed; they have been discriminated against, libelled, and the law enforcement facilities of the province have been used to the advantage of the company and to the disadvantage of the employees. These men are carrying on a struggle unsurpassed in any trench warfare. They have starved and gone without, and still worse, their families have gone hungry with them. ‘These brothers are fighting our fight; a fight to wrestle dictatorial control away from the boss loggers, the shipping federation, the chambers of commerce, the citizens’ leagues, and everything that’s rotten in this province, They are fighting for labor's age-old democratic right “to organize.” Their only source of income has been donations from sympathizing members of organized labor, and believe me, brothers, this income has been very slim during recent months. Steps are being taken to strengthen the picket-line, and with this in view I am addressing an urgent appeal for your financial help. No matter how small it is, it will help!
