LUMBER WORKER

_ High spot in Women’s Aux-
iliaries’ activities this week
comes from Auxiliary Local
92 (ba) who point
bl rejected an insidious re-
quest from wayward sisters
that the auxiliary funds be
“surrendered”.

The loyal women said that cer-
tain members who decided their
allegiance lay elsewhere were try-
ing to pane on pressure that the
funds should be donated to “some
charitable organization”. ei

Ladysmith sub-local of 1-80
backed up the sisters by advising
them to disregard altogether the
childish threats,

The auxiliary is now going full
steam ahead with winter activities.

“With the exception of two minor
officials, our executive remained
loyal at the time of the split. These
traitors have been replaced.

“Joe Morris presided over our
latest meeting, attended by 30
members.

“Main business was the forma-
tion of our press committee, not
only to report the news of the sub-
local, but offers its services to pub-
licize the work being carried on in
the three Island locals—1-80; 1-85;
1-363,

motion that no former member of
the IWA who betrayed his trust

PAT CONROY from page 1 |

“I have watched the retrogres-

“HEADS YOU WIN”

sion of the Pritchett group for
many years now. This is the peak
of their infamy. Apart from the
temporary dislocation to IWA af-
fairs, it is good to see them forced
into the open.

“We in the trade union move-
ment can easily wipe out this Com-
munist infiltration.

“Take it from me that every
loyal member in the IWA has
fully behind him the moral and
financial support of more than
350,000 other organized CCL
unionists from one end of Canada
to the other. Keep hard at the
battle, is my advice, and the
people who have tried to wreck
your union will be finished for
good.”
