As ent as a month ago a strong delega- on representative of the Canadian "Congress of Labor presented to the gov- ermment a brief embodying proposals _ which would release tremendous energies n this country in an all-out war effort. ‘One of the basic points of the memor- dum was that an effective war effort is seriously restricted asa result of workers’ dissatisfaction with the gov- pment’s attitude toward organized bor. A considerable portion of the “memorandum dealt with the important tter of collective bargaining which obviously fundamental. It demanded protection by law for the right to or- ganize, which would make possible the " organization of many thousands of work- ‘ers, put an end to thé opposition of certain large corporations to organiza- tion of their workers through the pro- cess of collective bargaining and do more to relieve unrest than any other action "the government might take.

Expert Watch Re- 4 Rally For Victory May Day, 1942 By HAROLD PRITCHETT Chicago, May 1, 1887, was the scene of an organized working class demon- stration for the eight-hour day; an or- ganized movement on the part of the workers to destroy for all time the 12- and 16-hour shifts. Since that historical event in which hundreds of workers lost their lives, May Ist has become an In- ternational Labor Day on which working men and women the world over unite to demonstrate their solidarity against op- pression. May 1, 1942, finds the democracies chal- lenged by a ruthless power, fascism, with the peoples of many countries overrun, their homes plundered, their trade unions destroyed; free speech, assembly, free- dom of religion memories of the past. May 1, 1942, must be made the great- est demonstration of international soli- darity for thé defeat of fascism. All sincere believers in the democratic way of life must unite the ranks of the remaining free nations of the world to give battle to a powerful ruthless mili- tary machine which aims to conquer and enslave the peoples of the remain- ing democracies and oppress with ever- growing violence the peoples of the subjugated nations. Today in Canada one quarter of a mil- lion strong, trade union defenders of the democratic way of life, must work and organize for greater freedom in Canada; thousands of Canadian trade unionists have joined the armed forces and many thousands more will join as necessity calls; hundreds of thousands more are busy in plants, in the shipyards, produc- ing the vital war sinews required by our armed forces at the battlefront. We must strengthen our unions and mobilize for democratic total war for final victory against our common enemy, fascism. This May Day, as the sixty which have preceded it, is Union Day. Let us dedicate this day, and ourselves, towards striving for and obtaining, through unity and solidarity of all the Canadian people, a final victory over fascism in 1942, no.

LUMBER WORKHDR Page Three RAVENOR GETS BACK NEW AGE LIBRARY Denying the application of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police for an order forfeiting to the Crown the entire contents of the New Age Book Shop owned by Wilfred Ravenor, who served an eight-months sentence for having the same in his possession, Police Magistrate H. S. Wood, in Vancouver Police Court ordered return of the library and office equip-. ment to Ravenor, on Thursday. Coming as an anti-climax to the prose- cution of Ravenor in 1940 and 1941, for having “in quantity” books by such writres as Karl Marx, Lenin, Molotov, | Stalin, Bill Bennett and William Lawson, the incident in the police court indicates that the RCMP and the Department of Justice have, like the Bourbons, learned nothing and forgotten nothing. Garfield A. King, who acted as counsel for the Vancouver Civil Liberties Union in the defense of Ravenor, protested strongly against granting the forfeiture order asked for by the RCMP. Included in the list of goods sought to be for- feited were three typewriters, a mineo- graphing machine, a projection machine, the complete bookshop furniture, and 530 books in the lending library. These were all ordered returned to Ravenor. Crown Counsel Wasson urged that 80 per cent of these books were com- munistic literature, and “communism is still illegal in Canada.” Mr. King re- torted that while the Communist Party of Canada was still proscribed, com- munism itself had never been declared illegal. Canada is, he said, happily as- sociated with a communist state, and it was significant that the Archbishop of Canterbury had recently written an official prayer for the people of Great Britain and Russia, which, he suggest- ed, included the leaders of the Soviet State, among them Stalin and Molotov, whose books were among those seized. Mr. Wood did not think that he could take judicial notice of the Archbishop’s prayers, but Mr. King filed a copy of “Life” magazine which quoted the cleric’s invocation. In reply to the argument advanced by Crown Counsel Wasson that Canada was still banning communism, Mr. King saw in that a paradoxical affinity between the policies of the Canadian government PALACE CAFE 47 WEST CORDOVA STREET 938 GRANVILLE ST.
