‘Vancouver, B.C. :

An enthusiastic reception has met the
news of the appointment of Brother
Don Barbour as Organizer for the
Courtenay-Campbell River area, Barbour
who is Vice-President of LW.A. Loocal
1-80 has been placed in the field by the
International Organization Committee
responsible for the disbursement of the
50c a month organizational assessment
in effect from August to January next.
He will take the post vacated last June
by Brother Al Parkin, who was forced
to leave Courtenay on account of illness.

An old-timer in the industry Brother
Barbour has carried a unon card since
1920 when he joined the “wobbly” or
ganization.

He was a former employee of the Co-
mox Logging Co., having been employed
there until 1936 when he lost out on ac-
count of union activities. He then went
to work at the Lake Log at Cowichan
Lake where he was untl last year. At
the time of his selection as an organizer
Brother Barbour was working on a
power-saw gang at Bloedels Great Cen-
tral Lake operation.

Last week the Union bought a lot in
Courtenay at the corner of Walker and
Cumberland Road, where it is proposed
to build a house for the organizer and
his family. Close to the centre of town,
members will be able to call in’ and
transact any business they may wish to
with the Organizer. Until completion
of the house Organizer Barbour will be
staying in a small one-roomed house
right on the corner next to the lot,
which is directly opposite the Public
Schoool.

Fate Of The Scab

I never buck,

I never struck,

I never mixed with union truck,

I must be on my way to win

So open the gates, St. Peter, and let
me in,

St. Peter with blood in his eyes:

“Who's running this gate, you or I?

I've heard of you and your gift of gab.

On earth you're known as a gol-durn

scab.”

‘Then he raised up slim and tall

And pressed a button on the wall.

He said to the Imp who answered the

bell,

“Court this man around to Hell,

‘Tell the devil to set him on a griddle,

On a griddle near the throne,

For even the Devil himself can’t stand

the smell

Of a scab on the griddle in Hell.

The Imp said, there is no use to send

him below

For it would only cause a strike you

DON BARBOUR
Courtenay Organizer

B.C. Plywoods Ltd., one of the Timber
Controller's many enterprises, is rated
the largest plywood producer in the Bri-
tish Empire, The Timber Controller, a
Government appointee, with dictatorial
powers over the timber industry for Can-
ada, is none other than H. R. McMillan,
B.C. lumber tycoon. It is estimated
that this year’s production will be double
that of 1939 with a value of nearly $5,-
000,000.00,

Work is progressing rapidly on the
new plant of the Robertson & Hackett
Co. on the south side of False Creek,
with reports current that production will
be starting in the new location early next
spring.

Combined rail and water shipments
from B.C. to the United Kngdom amount-
ed to 88,096,707 board feet in October,
as aganst 77,299,097 in the previous
month and 74,119,660 in October, 1939.
In a statement recently, H. R.
McMillan estimated purchases of the
British Timber Controller will amount
to about $45,000,000.

Lumber stocks are reported lower than
usual for this season, leaving no room
for belief that there might be a slack-
ening off of production in the near fu-
ture. All branchhes of B.C, major in-
dustry are drving ahead at top speed.

So go back to your master on earth and
tell
We don't even want a scab in Hell.

“Chopping” Days till the
Big Loggers’ Ball!

Queens Reach Log Camp. t Pei d
bor, where conditions are |
standard also.

The M. & M. Log Co. For
have a fine layout! One man-
there for 8% days, from Oct. 26
10, and when he left ho didn’t
enough money to pay his fare to ae
and the company refused to pay it. The
‘Union Steamship Co, held his luggag:
for his fare. The company’s game was
allowing him to work a couple of days
and then laying off for a couple. Be-
sides this, they supplied him with alunch
kit at a dollar but refused to refund the
money for it when he left. es

Reports indicate that the beach camp
of Allison's, Cumshewa Inlet, Q.C.1, is
finished for the season, The lake camp
will be running until about Dec. 15.

Conditions generally are poor at Moore
Bay Log Co., Gregory Island, with special
emphasis for fallers who have poor tim-
ber, and chokermen who get only a
meagre $4.50. At Gibson Bros. Chamis
Bay, organization is well established and
an increase has just given chokermen
$5.00.

We hear that Gustafson Bros., Jervis
Inlet, have ceased logging until after
the New Year.

Here’s a story of an outfit in Jervis
Inlet, Ie seems that a miscellaneous
bunch, a taxi driver, farmers, and what-
have-yous—none of whom had ever
worked in the woods before—decided to
Bo logging. After some time one of our
new loggers went to the cook and asked
when they should shut down for Christ-
mas. “You can shut down right now,” the
cook answered, “no grub came up on the
last boat.”

Just twenty-seven more “chopping
days” to the Midwinter Dance, as our _
friend the faller puts it, so how about
making 'er a date right here and now!

UMWA DISCUSSES
DISPUTE AWARD

GLACE BAY, N.S.—District 26 of the
U.M.W.A. held an emergency con-
vention at Truro recently to discuss
“unsatisfactory” conciliation board re-—
ports affecting miners of Dominion,
Acadia and Nova Scotia Coal companies,
President D, W. Morrison has announced.
The convention is usually held in No- —
vember. The delegates will discuss the
cost of living among other matters. The
Dominion Coal conciliation board recom-
mended slight increases for lowe
miners and cancellation of rent and
arrears. Boards hearing the claims of
miners employed by Acadia and Nova
Scotia Coal companies said the mines
were unable to grant increases
recommended cancellation of coal
rent arrears.
