Government Removes Ban On
Ukrainian Farmer~Labor Assoc:

On Friday last, Prime Minister Mackenzie King announced
that amendments to the Defence of Canada Regulations have
lifted the ban on the Ukrainian Farmer-Labor Temple Associ-
ation who were outlawed some years ago due to ‘the fact that
they were claimed to be spreading Communistic propaganda.
The lifting of the ban is a culmination of agitation of some consid-
erable length, in which the Civil Liberties League has played an

important part.

The ban was not lifted from the
Communist Party of Canada which
has, in fact, been recently dissolved.
The property of the organizations,
which was confiscated at the time

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR...

the ban was placed, will, accord-
ing to the release, be returned to
the owners. At last year’s Session
of Parliament a special committee
was established to deal with the

Defence of Canada Regulations.
This Committee recommended the
removel of the ban including the
ban on the Communist Party but
the report of the Committee was
not concurred in or even discussed
on the floor of the House. Property
of the Ukrainian Labor Temple As-
sociation in Vancouver will now
be returned ‘to the organization.
Also included in the ban removals
are Jehovah's Witnesses and Tech-
nocracy Ine.

SAY WHAT YOU PLEASE

Freedom of Press

Dear Editor:

I noticed by the daily papers the
sawmill lecal in ancouver had don-
ated their victory Bonds to the
Queen Charlotte Island Loggers to
help in winning the strike and a
signed union agreement for the
boys up North ard for a decisive
victory for the workers in our in-
dustry. [t did my heart good, too,
to see the sawmill workers come
around and build a real organiza-
tion as they are doing.

This Queen Charlotte Island
strike is certainly justified and I
think that any woodworker wto
doesn’t get behind it is only cut-
ting his own throat. Everybody in
the industry realizes that if ‘he
IWA had not carried on its nili-
tant fight for betler wages and
working conditioiis for the Wood-
workers we would be in a pretty
iough spot right now. The loggers
have been organizing for years wit
not much activity in the mill at
all up to a couple of years ago.
I’sure hope that the Sawmill work-
ers will get down to business and
shell out with that day's pay.

I have been wondering why the
daily papers have not carried more
news about the QCI strike so I
started to do a little bit of nos-
ing around and find out what was
the matter. First of all I intended
to go up to the office and jump
hard at the boys for not putting
over the publicity. But before I
got that far I found out that it
wasn’t their fault at all and that
apparently the papers, which every-
body knows are conrolled and op-
erated by big business, were not
printing the stuff because they
were afraid that the general pub-
lie would get the real story (and
I do mean that the operators paid
ads are nothing but a lot of hog-
wash t try and fool the public) 1
wonder what has happened to this
freedom of the press business that
our boys are over in Europe fight-
ing for.

What made me laugh was the
operators ad where they told every-
body how they were conducting
collective bargaining - with their
men and then ending up by saying
that they would not sign a contract

with a party they didn’t have any
confidence in. If there is ever a
union that has the right to de-
mand the confidence of everyone
it is the IWA and I think that
the QCI dispute and the two and
one half years of negotiations there
proves that point beyond a doubt.
I guess I had better sign off
now, so here’s yours for a quick
and successful settlement of the
Queen Charlotte Island strike.

Support Loggers
Batco Camp, Oyster Bay.
Sept. 7, 1943.
Editor, The Lumber Worker:

In support of the Queen Char-
lotte Island loggers, the crew of
the Batco Camp (which has the
only union agreement in B.C.)
went on record in favor of imme-
diately preparing an emergency
fund, and to support in every way
the efforts to obtain a signed union
agreement for our brothers of the
Queen Charlotees.

It is the opinion of the crew in
view of the long standing dispute,
that any action taken by the Queen
Charlotte Island workers would be
justifiable and the full responsib-
ility of such action would rest
squarely on the shoulders of the
operators.

A collection was taken in aid of
the Chinese Relief fund from the
employees of the Batco Camp. Don-
ations amounting to $67.50 were
turned over to the local at Court-
enay.

Fraternally yours,
GERRY HALLSTROM,
Secretary Local 363,
Batco Camp.

Whose Jurisdiction?

Dear Editor:

I know you welcome letters, re-
gardless of their contents, from all
union members, I feel I have neg-
lected my duty as a member of
the IWA in not writing before,
even if it was only to say “hello.”

I knew the boys in the ‘sawmills
would get behind our brothers in
the QCI but I did not expect them
to respond so quickly. Money is
just rolling in for the QCI fund.
Our brothers came to me the oth-
er day and handed me ten dol-
lars, I knew he was giving more
than a day's pay. That is the sort

of response we are getting in our
mill.

We are proving to the Mill Own-
ers and Logging Operators that the
sawmill workers are not going to
let our brothers in the logging
camps fight alone.

As a shop steward I have a
problem, which I know you can
solve. What to do in the case of
carpenters who work in sawmills,
when approached to join the IWA
say they are in the Carpenters
and Joiners Union. I know other
shop stewards who are faced with
the same problem.

CARD N. 2465.

Best Cook

To the Editor:

Dear Sir,—I note in your last
edition that the boys at Shannon
Bay rafting camp claim that they
have the best cook in the Massett
area, Hold your horses, boys! I'll
admit you have a damn good cook.
How do I know? Because I have
had several meals there. I have
also had several meals in three
other camps of Aero’s and I'll tell
you, boys, or cook at Camp 6,
Vasey Camp, whose name is Wil-
liam Carpentier (Bill to you) is
second to none. Boy! when it comes
to home cooking, Bill sure can dish
it out. His meats are luscious, his
soups are superb and when it
comes to his pies and dessérts —
well, they just make your mouth
water and they melt in your mouth.
You linger at the table and wonder
if you couldn't stow away another
hunk of pie. Really, boys, I am
not exaggerating when I say that
“Our Bill” is second to none and
it is really a miracle how he can
turn it out with this rationing go-
ing on. Incidentally, to my way
of thinking, rationing should be
scrutinized more closely as there
is something rotten somewheres
and I don’t think the rationing
board is fully to blame. Methinks
the companies are taking advant-
age of it... . But that is sec
ondary. If you boys doubt my
statements about Bill, our cook,
send over a committee of three
some Sunday or any other day for
that matter and I bet you'll go
away with a satisfied stomach and
wishing you were here as far as
the food is concerned.

(Signed) Robert Dale, -
Chairman, Sub-Local 1-71.
