VOTE FOR LW.A. | TACOMA, Wash.—Nine hundred and six employees of the St. Paul and Tacoma Lumber Company voted on August 19, 738 to 163, in favor of continuing the In- ternational Woodworkers of America, GIO affiliate, as their bargaining agency. Five wished neither the CIO nor AFL as their representative. There were 1,060 workers eligible to vote. ‘The election was held under the sup- ervision of the National Labor Relations Board, representatives coming form Se- attle for the vote, This action leaves the CIO representa- tives in charge of the employees’ affairs to settle a strike which has been in full swing since May 15. The AFL challenged the CIO authority and demanded recog- nition as collective bargaining repre- sentative, APPEALS FOR UNITY TORONTO COUNCIL The oldest and largest trade union body in Canada, the Toronto District Labor Council, took the lead in the battle for Iabor unity last week by adopting with an overwhelming ma- jority a resolution to go before the September 25th Trades Congress con- vention, demanding that the unions af- filiated to the C1.0. be reinstated in the Trades Congress of Canada. Especially significant was the fact that the resolution was submitted by the Canadian Seamen’s Union, one of the Jargest AFL, unions affiliated to the Council. Toronto District Labor Council’s passing of the resolution is indicative of the desire of Canadian unionists for the extension of trade union unity. It is anticipated that other Trades Coun- cils and union locals will follow To- ronto’s progressive lead. ‘The International Woodworkers, B.C. District Council, commends and whole- heartedly gives its endorsation to the stand taken by the Toronto District Labor Council, The L.W.A. joins with many other Vancouver unionists in hop- ing that the Vancouver-New West- minster Trades and Labor Council will follow this splendid example.

The impressive union entry won wide acclaim from both officials and spectators and reminded the thousands who lined the parade route of the importance of buying union made bread, Besides bringing much credit to the Bakers’ Union and to the entire labor movement, the exhibit provides a goal for the Woodworkers’ Union to aim at for the next May Day parade. By A. W. LEHTI This camp is now shut down for the fire season but just prior to the cessation of activities on August 17 a general meet- ing was held. The most important item of business was the election of new com- mittees, First and most important was the election of a new Camp Committee, comprised of eleven members of the crew. Secondly, a Safety First Committee was elected and each different side and the fallers and buckers and even the camp crew are represented by a member or two, Their job, until camp reopens again, is quite simple, as their main worry now is to dodge some reckless driver or streetcar on the “skidroad.” Last, but not least, there was elected in this camp ,for the first time since 1936, a new Press Committee. This com- mittee was so anxious to get into business that this article is being written while the camp is shut down to show the boys in town that Lake Log has a Press Com- mittee on the job. On July 6th there was born to Mr, and Mrs, Pappenberger, a baby daughter at Rounds, B.C, This was the first child ever born at this place so the camp com- mittee, that illustrious body of men who have to handle each and every complaint and grievance and take all the abuse, deemed it fitting and proper for a small collection to be taken to buy the baby some sort of a present to commemorate @ =~ 1 “Styles for Young Men and Men who Stay Young” 301 West Hastings St. iS y Industrial First Aid Classes Classes or Individual Instruction Day or Evening Apply to First Aid Attendant at: 303-A West Pender Street TRinity 3054 or FAir. 0533-L LAKE LOG LEADS WAY BY ELECTING ACTIVE COMMITTEES this grand occasion, This was carried out by two members who went around with the collection sheets for a baby shower, A sum of $35.45 was collected and turned over to some members of the Women’s Auxiliary, who bought the presents, In closing this report, may we add that the Press Committee has been asked by Mr, and Mrs, Pappenberger to express their heartfelt thanks on behalf of their daughter to the crew of Lake Log, to the Camp Committee and to those members kind and helpful, By lengthening the work day we counteract our military preparations.
