Concluding a tour across Canada,

Funds Coming in
For Loggers’ Navy

Prompt response to the recent ap-
peal sent out by, Local 1-71 for further
support for the “Loggers’ Navy,” came
in from Camp B-40, at Port Clement,
and Gibson’s Camp, Chamis Bay. Gib-
son’s now takes third place in total
collections, having just sent in $76.50,
to add to their former total of $72.90,
folowed closely by Camp B-40, from
which we received $73.40, bringing
their grand total up to $143.40.

We also acknowledge receipt of ad-
ditional contributions as follows: Al-
lison’s, $6.00; Morgan’s Camp 1, $5.00;
Kelly’s, Church Creek, $2.00; Spry
Camp, $5.00; Albert Moore's, $7.00, and
York Log, $8.00, bringing the total
collection to date to $2062.40.

Reports tof lists going through the
camps, and other preparations being
made to build the Boat Fund, are
coming in on nearly every boat, as
the loggers, in their usual way, should-
er their responsibility to finish the
job of building the “Navy.”

Another $1500 is needed, and needed
fast, so, if there is no delegate in your
camp to start the ball rolling, anyone
can take the initiative in collecting
this fund, or send your individual con-
tribution direct to Local 1-71 office,
506 Holden Building, Vancouver, B.C.

Loggers’ Ball
December 30

The greatest social event staged in Van-
couver, the Fifth Annual Loggers’ Ball,
will be held this year on December 30,
1941, in the largest hall available, the
Georgia Street Auditorium. Wilf Wylie’s
nine-piece band will provide the music.

Admission tickets are already on sale
at $1, which will include two stubs for
refreshments, so the actual admission
price is no more than last year. For the
benefit especially of those who will be
unable to be present, there are three
cash prizes, $100, $50 and $25.

Net proceeds of the affair will be
split three ways; one-third to the B.C.
Lumber Worker, one-third to the District
Council, one-third to be divided among
the Locals on a pro-rata basis according
to tickets sold.

LOGGING ACCIDENTS

Logging fatalities reached a total of 56
this month when Elmer Dutz, tractor
driver employed by Errington Logging
Company near Craig's Crossing, was

killed on October 22. |

structed log, which

J. R. Morgan Logging |
Co, in the QCI died about five hours

later as a result of a fatal abdominal
injury, a broken hip and shoulder and
possible broken back.

Saari, who is a native of Finland, joined
the IWA-CIO during the last visit of the
Loggers’ Navy to Morgan’s Huxley Island
Camp, having been on the job about
three weeks. He is the fifth logger to
lose his life in the QCI this year.

Howard Charles Estes an employee of
Dalziel Box Company Ltd. Victoria, died
in Jubilee Hospital after an accident
in the plant at 2800 Bridge Street. Estes
was operating a cut-off saw and
ceived a severe cut from hand to elbow
on his right arm.

Herbert Ellingson, chokerman at Bloe-
dell’s, Franklin River, was killed on Octo-
ber 8 by a falling tree. Inquest was held
in Port Alberni,

Accidental death was the verdict hand-

re-

killed last weele
when struck by a log at the B.K. Fraset
Logging Company operations seven miles
est of Lantaville.

Members of the IWA will learn with
regret that Brother Vie Strum, who lost
his leg in a logging accident last year
at the Comox Logging Company, is now
in hospital with a very badly injured
arm. He had been working under a
car and the brakeman took the car on
without an okay on it, so that the wheels
passed over his arm. Before he lost
consciousness Brother Strum said “Now
look what they have done to me.” Re-
ports from the hospital indicate that
there is very little hope of saving his
arm. Many of these accidents could be
avoided by better conditions and proper
safety committees and less speedup with
inefficient equipment.

“The greater the difficulties are, the
_ stronger we resist. The final victory

must be oura’
“China Today.”
