Morgan

As Candidate For Coming Elections

CUMBERLAND, B.C.—Labor-Progressive Party clubs in‘
Comox-Alberni, meeting in a constituency conference here
Sunday, voted unanimously to support the candidacy of Nigel
Morgan, IWA international board member, who has already
been nominated by-the trade unions in the constituency to
contest the seat for labor at the next federal election.

A federal program for the con-
stituency, which Mr. Morgan will
be asked to endorse, includes the
following points:

© Efficient use of timber re-
sources to eliminate waste.

© Reopening of Royston and
Bates sawmills to provide farmers
and others with lumber at reason-
able prices.

© Utilization of coal and iron
ore deposits on Vancouver Island
for establishment of a steel mill
in the province.

© Opening of Sable River coal
deposits and expansion of other
coal fields to provide adequate
coal supplies.

@ Development of Elk River
Falls to provide cheap hydro-elec-
tric facilities for industrial and
domestic use. (Present price to
consumers in northern areas of
Vancouver Island is approximately

10 cents a kilowatt hour.)
© Promotion of producer and
consumer cooperatives among

farmers, fishermen and other semi-
agricultural groups as a means of
securing fair prices to producers
and consumers. ©

Resolutions were passed con-
demning the new labor code pro-
posed by the King government and
the recent order-in-council penal-
izing coal miners should they take
strike action to enforce decent
wages and working conditions.

Alf Dewhurst, of Port Alberni,
was elected chairman of a con-
stituency committee, other mem-
bers of which are: D. Stockland,
Cumberland; E. Anderson, Roys-
ton; Olga Axelson, Oyster River;
E. Saxby, Port Alberni.

This committee, it was agreed,
will approach the CCF organiza-

tion in the constituency with a
view to coordinating the efforts of
the LPP and the CCF for labor
unity at the next federal election.

“In the Port Alberni municipal
election we have already moved
a long way in the direction of la-
bor unity,” stated Mr. Dewhurst,
“There is no good reason why we
cannot extend -it into ‘the federal
field.”
