‘To The ‘Admiral’ Of
The Loggers’ Navy

By THE OL BALD FALLER
‘There's a story now current though
strange it may seem,
Of our “Admiral” McCuish and his won-
derful dream,
Being tired of organizing, he retired to

bed,
And after falling asleep, he dreamed he

was dead.

In a fine cedar coffin aboard the “Laur
Wayne,”

With a guard of boss loggers who
showed great pain

And were deeply concerned at our Ad-
miral's fate,

But Jack had anchored at the heavenly
gate, s

St. Peter looked out with a smile on
his face,

Saying, “Enter, my lad, and look over
the place;

For here is one berg you'll have nothing
to do,

And if you should doubt me, go talk
to the crew.

And while they stood talking, an angel
passed by.

The skipper took note with his critical
eye

That her wings were of cotton and she
carried no fan,

For the boycott was still on all stuff
from Japan.

Everybody was working as busy as bees,

Day work for the fallers, cutting the
trees,

A dollar an hour was the lowest wage
paid;

None risking their lives that profits be
made.

Well, thinks the skipper ,this 1s ao place
for me,

So T'll sail off to hell and that place I'll
Bee,

For I’ve heard it is rough and rotten as
well,

So I might as well try and organize hell.

Up came the mud-hook as he bade Peter
adieu,
And charted the course for his faith-
r ful old crew.
The sailing was good, for the weather
was fine;
The log of his ship showed a record time.

On that long voyage from heaven to hell,
Where the devil is master and owner
as well;

THE B.C. LUMBER WORKER

Maxch 28, 1942

News was received this week by the
National Council for Democratic Rignts
that nine anti-fascists have been released
from internment or imprisonment re-
cently,

Among these were Pat Sullivan, Dave
Sinclair and Jack Chapman, of the Ca-
nadian Seamen’s Union; Dr. H. Lowry,
of Toronto; Andrew Bilecki, Winnipeg
School Trustee; E. Gervais, T. Gervais,
©, Charest and T. Boychuk from Mont-
real,

Sullivan, who has been interned for
more than twenty months, was one of
the first anti-fascists to be interned and
it is hoped that his release indicates
a change in the government's policy
towards internment of ant-fascists.

More than 1,000 cheering enthusiastic
people met Bilecki on arrival at Winni-
peg station when he was released, and
in most cases when the news has been
made public of the return of a released
anti-fascist, crowds have met the train
to greet them.

Hearings of seventeen other anti-fas-
cists, including Fred Collins, well known
trade union leader from Toronto, Norman
Freed of Toronto, and Pat Lenihan of
Winnipeg, are reported to be under way
now.

An appeal for continual financial and
moral support to the movement to release
all anti-fascists so that they can take

their rightful place in Canada’s war ef-|

fort against Hitlerism, has been issued
by the National Council for Democratic
Rights so that arrangements can be made
for adequate legal defense for those still
interned.

Labor Unity Will Increase
War Production!

Where’er there’s a master, a slave there
must be,
So plain in his dream, this all did agree.

Shorthanded they were for so many got
killed

On account of the speed-up and workers
unskilled,

The hours were long and the wages
were low,

"Cause no-one had heard of the CIO.

‘Then one of the crew said, “What-you-
may-call-it . . .”

Which awakened the
quite fit,

And although in his dream strange lands
he had seen,

When awake Van. Isle was abaft his
port beam.

stronger we resist, The final victory
