AUXILIARY CORNER

On November 28th the Ladies’ Auxiliary in Ladysmith held a whist
drive in Nicholson's Hall. Prize winners were as follows: Mrs. 8.
Guthrie, Mrs. H. Holme, S. Guthrie, and Mrs. K. McCall. Mrs. San-
derson was the winner of the lucky chair prize. An enjoyable time was
had by all who attended and everyone is looking forward to the next
drive,

The ladies in New Westminster area met this week-end for the pur-
pose of discussing the setting up of an Auxiliary in that area. Due to
the pressure of holiday activities, it is expected that they will not get
down to actually setting up the organization until after the New Year.
‘The ladies in Westminster are welcomed by the members of the AUux-
iliary on Vancouver Island.

All Auxiliaries are asked to take notice of the coming Convention of
the District Auxiliary, which will be held in the Holden Building in
conjunction with the Convention of the International Woodworkers of
America District Council No. 1 on the 2nd and 3rd of January, 1943.

All Auxiliary branches are asked to make sure that their delegates
attend. A review will be made of the work accomplished in the past
year, and the outlining of a program for the coming year in which it is
hoped that the Apxiliary will be able to expand its activities and make
real progress,

Discrimination Hit
By Selective Service

Discrimination on grounds of citizenship, nationality, race,
language, name, creed or color was barred by Selective Service
recently because it “impairs the war effort by preventing the
most effective use of our total labor supply and tends, by de-
veloping well-founded resentment and suspicion, to defeat the
democratic objective for which we are fighting.”

CIO Hits Whitewash
Of Lumber Bungling ©

WASHINGTON, D.C.—A sharp protest against “obvious at-
tempts by the organized industry and the WPB lumber officials
to ‘whitewash’ the lumber muddle” and a renewed demand
for a hearing from labor was sent by CIO President Philip
Murray to Senator Harry S. Truman recently.

Murray’s letter, sent following a report that hearings were

being ended without a chance for representatives of the CIO
International Woodworkers to tes-)vided for organized labor in the

tify, said in part: : timber industry to present to your

“As in other fields of production, |committee ifs facts and recommen-
organized labor which knows the
industry from a practical point of
view, has time and again urged
the adoption of programs that
would keep lumber production
abreast or ahead of war needs.

“But lack of imagination and ini-
tiative on the part of the industry
and of like-minded representatives
in the lumber offices of the War
Production Board. War Manpower,
the Army and other agencies has
resulted in either inaction or ut-
terly inadequate action on labor's
constructive proposals.

OBVIOUS -ATTEMPTS,

“I am shocked by the obvious
attempts of the organized indus-
try and the WPB lumber officers
to whitewash the whole situation
before your committee, with their
meager estimates of needs and
their optimistic predictions of 1943

dations on this crucially important
Problem.”
