In Quebec particularly, ‘it was a triumph for the forces rallied " hehind Prime Minister King as opposed to those reactionaries who would mis- ead the traditional nationalist feeling in French Canada and succeed in dis- uniting the nation in this critical hour. Groups such as those headed by Meigh- en and Hepburn actually obstruct and undermine Canadian unity’and the na- tional war effort. Behind these groups are interests that “provoke lock-outs and strikes, that ig- nore or refuse to accept majority awards of government arbitration boards, that = Oppose labor - management cooperation "whereby the nation can more effectively be served in this crisis; whose policies if put into effect would disrupt national unity and lead to division in a period when our national existence depends on co-operation of all for the common vic- tory. Many people support such policies, honestly believing that in this way, quicker results will be obtained; not realizing that the opposite of national unity would be achieved by such methods.

Lumber! pression of the people's support of Prime’ Minister King’s efforts to unify the na- tion and implement the gearing of Cana- da’s man-power, industry and resources to the supreme task of fighting for Can- ada’s national freedom and independence by the side of Great Britain, China, the Soviet Union and the United States, The proposed plebiscite is evidence that the people’s cry for an all-out war effort is being heeded, still a little slowly, perhaps, but nevertheless heeded. We who are members of organized labor must recognize that this titanic battle is a fight for Canada’s own life, for her national freedom and independ- ence, and to preserve those things which men have held dear for centuries, every other consideration must be subordinat- ed, or we lose everything, To stop the terrible march of Hitler fascism, every effort must be turned towards unifying the nation behind the government for all-out war, so that we can get on with the vital task of pro- tecting our country and our freedom without further unnecessary delay. “The greater the difficulties are, the stronger we resist, The final victory must be ours.”—Dr, P.

Continue Comox Log Negotiations (Continued from Page 1) railroad men, construction workers, pirnting trades, and others. Your em- ployees feel genuine collective bargain- ing with the negotiation of an annual agreement between management and em- Pployees' representatives, covering wages, hours and working conditions, are an essential part of democracy and vital for an all-out war effort. We recognize the need for lumber to gear itself rapidly to the task of fighting this battle of preser- vation, and we feel greater understand- ing and consequent cooperation between management ‘and labor can be achieved through the establishment-of sound, con- tractual relations, Such has certainly been the case in Great Britain, the United States, New Zealand, ‘and Australia, where collective bargaining has become firmly established in practically every industry and community. In recognition of this principle and its value to uninterrupted and increased war production our own Federal govern- ment, as far back as June 1940, passed an Order-in-Council, PC 2685, recom- mending in Section 7, “Employees through the officials of their trade union or through other representatives chosen by them, should be free to negotiate with employers or the representatives of em- ployers’ associations concerning rates of pay, hors of labor, and other working conditions, with the view to the conclu- sion of a collective agreement,” Our Negotiating Committee has been instructed to continue negotiations with your representative as soon as possible, and we hope you will make arrangements for this meeting at your earliest con- venience. It is the sincere hope of your employees that an amicable solution to this problem can be found without having to resort to government arbitration.

S, Jackson, vice-president of District 5, UER & MWA, has written a letter of sincere thanks for all those who contributed to his re- lease so that he is “now free to do some- thing useful and to devote my energies to the task of helping organize the Ca- nadian workers for freedom, justice and equality.” “The fature for all of us is being settled dn the present world struggle against fascism,” the letter continued, “and to the extent that the working people of our country, together with the working people of our allies, turn their full ab- ilities and energies to the mobilization of a total war effort, to that extent vic- tory will be ours. “In the process of winning that victory and out of that victory, the recognition of labor’s place in the conduct of industry and of ithe nation’s affairs, will be achieved. Obstacles which stand in the way of that goal such as the continued internment of trade unionists and anti- fascists, the ‘refusal to recognize the Kirkland Lake miners’ union, the ex- istence of wage freezing and other cur- tailments of labor’s freedom to partici- pate in the battle of production in the required measure, all of these must and will be removed through organization. These tasks fall to all of us. I am in- deed pleased to be free to do my share.” Medical Committee Opens New Office Vancouver's Committee for Medical Aid to the Soviet Union announces that it has opened a new office at 118-119 Van- couver Block, 736 Granville Street, with Ruth Breger as full-time secretary in charge.
