This camp was started and has been maintained by the assistance of trade unionists and labor organizations in the city. Through their help a further building was added to the camp this summer, making five buildings on an area of 120 acres. = ‘A general meeting is being held this fall, to which all unions and service clubs, etc., are invited to send delegates to elect the officials who will control the camp operations for the coming year. The Jubilee Summer Camp has been refused the right to participate in the Welfare Federation drive for funds, be- cause it “has no paid officials.” All work for the children’s camp has been gladly donated by those in charge without remuneration, and therefore, an appeal is being issued by the camp committee for donations from the unions to keep the camp going. More than 500 children of working class people have been able to obtain a holiday at the camp this year, and to keep this up more funds must be obtained. Send in your donations to Mrs. Fordham, 5875 Tyne Street, Vancouver; telephone DExter 2771-L, or to the District Office of the IWA.

NEW WESTMINSTER, B.C. — IWA International Representative Jack Green- all reported this week the Regional War Labor Board had granted a demand from the crew at Fraser Mills for a blanket increase in wages for both day and night shifts. Following a protest by employees against discriminatory wage increases in certain categories only, news was re- ceived that an increase of 5>cents an hour day shift and 5 cents for the night shift as well as the previous 5 cents an hour premium for night work had been granted. This applies to all those who had not previously received an increase of 7 cents in the skilled laborer's brack- ets, This makes a 70 cents wage for lab- orers on the night shift and 65 cents for laborers on the day shift. The crew at Fraser Mills, assisted by the shop. stewards, demonstrated their level-headedness and sense of responsi- bility last week by staying on the job in the diagreement between the manage- ment and employees on the wage increase given to some sections of skilled employ- ees. In the interest of uninterrupted pro- -duction for the war effort, the workers did not yield to the provocation of a walkout but stayed on the job while a delegation of four were elected to inter- view the management, ; As a result of their interview with the management, the delegation obtained the understanding that if the crew would take their grievance to the Regional War Labor Board and get their consent to a blanket increase the company would give favorable consideration to it, Both management and employees were unanimoys in their desire to. keep the wheels of production rolling in the inter- ests of an all-out war effort, and the re- sults forthcoming from the Board amply repaid the solidarity and good sense of the crew in staying on the job while a delegation looked after their interests, Ladies’ Auxiliary To Hold Danee ALBERNI, B.C. — Ladies’ Auxiliary, IWA Local 1-85, is sponsoring a dance in the IWA Victory Hall in Port Alberni on Saturday, September 19, commencing at 9 pm.
