A Strange World Editor, Sir.— May we refer to the many letters we have been reading lately in the daily press about the German offi- cers recelving $20 per month for luxuries What a strange world we are living in ! Why, we have a mother and seven chil- dren living here in Courtenay destitute. Deserted by her husband, this mother is told by those in authority that she doesn’t rate any help from the govern- ment because she hasn’t been in our community long enough. Why this discrimination? Apparently after twenty years in Canada and two years in B.C, this mother will have to stand by and see her children want unless the Christians of Courtenay community respond to the fullest extent and find out why this family is destitute in this land of plenty.

Up to the time of going to press, the IWA has received reports that there have been 22 men fired—who, with the excep- tion of one, have all been told by their foreman that their work has been per- fectly satisfactory. When enquiring as to why they had been laid off, no rea- son was given for the action of the com- pany, and this in spite of the fact that most of the men have been with the Fraser Mills for from two to seven year: Taking full cognizance of the intimida- fon being spread by the company, every effort will be put forward by the IWA to assist the workers, the vast majority of whom are not yet members of the union, in checking this ruthless action. Workers discriminated against are urged to contact IWA Local 1-217, at 504 Holden Building, Vancouver, or phone TPRinity 4464 immediately they receive notice, and free legal advice will be given them and representations on their case made to the government.

QUIT 0.B.U.—An action which labor men believe will prove a deathblow to the One Big Union west of Winnipeg was taken by delegates of the B.C. Log- gers’ Convention here. The delegates, after considerable discussion, decided to withdraw from the 0.B.U. and carry on their own industrial organization in- dependently, There has been a dispute for some time between the loggers and the head offices of the O0.B.U. The withdrawal of the loggers will mean that the O.B.U. will have practically nothing left but a membership of about 6,000 with which to carry on. The loggers, with their affiliated bodies, are about 20,000 strong. W. G. MANSON, D.C.
