Wants 24-Hour Strike’

“To the Editor:

Well, I see my letter of two
weeks back was printed, and
about time I was stirring again.
I wish to draw the attention of
the editor, and to the members
of the union, that there was a
mistake in the name, instead of
Bruce it should have been Bunce.
‘There was no harm done or no
hard feelings, brothers and edi-
tor, Just a mistake.

Well, now ‘the Ford strike is
still in full swing. It is stirring
up Dominion*wide excitement,
or interest should I say. The Ford
strike is definitely a battle for
Canadian labor and also Ameri-
can labor. I believe that the don-
ations to the strikers is being
responded to very well. There has
been $52° donated by this camp
for the Ford strikers. I do not

believe that it would be too dras-
tic a measure on the part of Ja-
bor against high finance and
other big outfits, if every labor
union in Canada, regardless of
how large or small, would call
a 24-hour strike in support of the
Ford strikers. I think the strike
would end very abruptly with the
plant workers getting their ob-
jective. It is plain to see that
the government will allow Ford
to take drastic measures to break
the strike without giving con-
sideration to the strikers. So we
must therefore be prepared to
meet them with measures equal-
ly as tough.

Now, I hear that there has
been 400 armed police sent into
Windsor. Well, that sounds like
the government is determined to

have trouble stirred up at any
cost, because sending armed pol-

ice is a definite bid for trouble.
Then the next thing would be to

call out the soldiers and that
would be the beginning of Do-

minion-wide reyolution.

Now that Brother E. Dalskog
has been made International
Board Member, difficulties seem
to be cropping up from sources
with no apparent concern except
to make trouble for the union.
It would appear that these
sources of interference had been
prompted by big business, be-
cause it would hamper the pro-
gress of the union greatly if the
Board Member from Canada was
not allowed to attend the Inter-
national Convention. At the same
time big sawmill owners from
B.C. were apparently allowed to
go through. These sources, of
course, have been notified by the
locals of the membership's atti-
tude towards their actions in at-

This camp can stand consider-

The board, however, is good, al-

Well, boys, I guess that’s all

CIO Raps U.S.
China Policy

NEW YORK, (ALN) — A de-
mand that American troops be
immediately withdrawn from
China was placed before Presi-
Gent Truman this week by the
New York CIO Council. Speak-
ing for 600000 members, the
Council charged that the presence
of U.S. troops in China and the
use of lend-lease equipment by
Kuomintang troops against the
Communist

armies constitute

“armed intervention in the inter-

The Council demanded that ships
and planes now being used “to
carry civil war to North China”
be used instead to bring Ameri-
can troops home. It pointed out
that the lend-lease equipment be-
ing used against Chinese and In-
donesians was produced by Am-
erican workers “to defeat Jap-
anese and German fascists.”
