PATRONIZE Our RTISERS Report Wage CONVENTION REP'T (Continued rrom Page 1) lution supported the statement of Lewis that there is no future for “budding young Communists who think they can ;|make a life work of taking over the CIO for the Communist party,” but that “there will be no witch hunts or red hunts and any union in the Congress has the right to select or elect anyone it chooses to lead it.” No mention of Francis, Dalrymple and Germer was made in the resolution. A resolution asking that the question of barring “communists, nazis and fase- ists” from membership in the IWA again brought sharp debate to the convention floor. Arguments pro and con carried through most of Friday. It was during debate of this issue that Oregon .Ditector Dalrymple attempted to gain the floor, nearly succeeding in provoking a riot in. the Convention. Convention Chairman 0. M, Orton ruled Dalrymple off the floor, declaring, “It is not within the authority of any CIO director to interfere with the proceedings of this convetnion.” During the next few turbulent mom- ents, Orton’s decision was appealed, but the ruling was sustained by the conven- tion. The convention voted down the pro- posal on the referendum ballot. Morris Muster, international presi- dent of the United Furniture Workers, addressed the delegates Friday after- nook, while Harry Bridges, president of the ILWU, spoke Saturday morning. Richard Francis, Washington state CIO director, was invited to speak but did not do so. The conclave adjourned at five o'clock Saturday evening. TIME BOOK AVAILABLE The Fifth Annual edition of the Woodworkers’ Time Book is in the process of being printed and will be available in about a week’s time free of charge at all IWA offices. Circulation will have to be increased from 500 to 6000 copies this year to meet a growing demand for this pop- ular manual which in addition to providing a time and wage record, contains a Handy Reckoner Log Scale, First Aid Hints, a copy of the Criminal Code Amendment on the Right to Organize as well as a num- ber of other labor “regulations. Camp Delegates and others inter- ested in obtaining copies of the 1941 Time Books are urged to place their orders immediately, so that all TWA members and supporters will re- ceive their copy in plenty of t Hotel West Ltd. FRED R. MARCHESE, Mer. LUMBER WORKER Seymour Inlet Camps Increase Another increase of four-bits a day was reported by the Joggers Navy last week, after a successful trip into the Seymour Inlet Camps. The wage hoist which started as from August 1, was an all-round 50¢ a, day raise and brings the chokermen’s pay up to $5.15 per day for that district. After a lengthly thousand-mile journey along B.C’s jagged cosat-line, consid- erably retarded by dense fogs and bad weather, the “Navy” has reached the Queen Charlotte Islands. Due to the ex- cellent organizational gains made on the Islands, and the fact that the crews there are moving for an Employees’ Agreement, a considerable amount of time has had to be devoted to help con- solidate the gains. Continued operation of British Co- lumbia sawmills at their present high rate of production seems assured for the remainder of the year by the recent placing of additional large orders by the British: Timber Control. Another 150 or 175 million feet were ordered by the U. K. authorities last month, and this, together with the or- dinary autumn export business and the increased domestic demand from both governmental and private sources, pro- mises a market for everything the mills can produce. Production commenced on October 7th at the new sawmill of B.C, Manufactur- ing Co. Ltd., New Westminster. The new mill, with a capacity of approximately 1Z5M, replaces the plant destroyed by fire on March 2nd of this year. The com- pany's new box factory went into oper- ation during the summer. Work is still in progress on the construction of addi- tional dry kilns, Considerable damage was done to dry kilns of the Capilano Shingle Co. Ltd., foot of Renfrew Street, Vancouver, re- cently. The blaze also destroyed a quantity of shingles. An additional expenditure of $40,000 is being made by Pacific Veneer Co., Braid Street, New Westminster, on ex- tensions to building and equipment. Ap- proximately $15,000 is being spent on buildings, including a 29x149 ft. drying shed on pile foundations and a one- story dining room. New equipment will cost about $25,000. East Kootenay operators report busi- ness as good. The Cranbrook Sash and Door Company Ltd. have two mills working with an employee list totalling 70, as well as the planer in Cranbrook, where 48 men are employed. This is the largest payroll they have had since about 1929. Operators anticipate that business will remain good until the weather breaks on the Prairie provinces putting a halt to building for the sea- son, Thabo | Sold in. ‘Vancouver NORDIC NEWS 142 East Hastings S mewenenenennenenes: | CAMP A British Columbia's log 1a) ft, bm. for the firs of 1940 reprsented an increase of al 143 million feet over the same p 1939.
