MINE, MILL UPSET

HARVEY Murphy’s job as re-
gional director of the Mine,
Mill union in B.C. is in jeopardy
from two directions.

Although the full and final re-
sults of the district elections will
not be made Imown until May
12, it is conceded that three out
of the fixe-man executive board
will be anti-Murphy.

the three-man CIO probe com-
mittee which investigated IWA

smash the IWA.

IWA District officials are con-
fident that the C1O probe will jus-
tify them, and demand proper
punishment for Murphy.

FOUR-YEAR PICKET

HE LT.U. picket line around |

the Montreal-owned Southam |
Company’s Daily Province will
enter its fourth year on June 5
next.

During the past three years the
picket line has been maintained
every working day from 8 a.m.
till 5 p.m., and every member of
Vancouver Typographical Union
has taken his regular turn on the
line. Members of the union work-
ing in the union newspapers and
commercial printing offices either |
picket before going to work or
after their day’s work.

The only break in continuous
picketing was a two-week period
when the Southam Company applied
to the courts for one of the most
vicious injunctions ever obtained in|
this province. Members of the union
were forced off the line and were
brobibted from carrying on any ac-
tivity whatever in defense of their
union. In their union-breaking ef-
forts Southams then dragged their |
former composing-room employees
and certain officers of the urnion|

That Leaflet

Recently I’ve seen several leaf-
lets over the signature of one
Ernie Dalskog, headed “Why I
am in Jail,” as if we didn’t know.

This leaflet called on the IWA
members to demand that the two
parties get together on the money

trict’ officers with this proposal.
But no—he would rather cause

money, he would have left it or
returned it before now, thus sav-
ing all this court action, that is,
if he or they still have it? I
wonder!

He says it belongs to the work-
ers. Who are the workers? IWA
95 per cent, or the WIUC 5 per
cent, or am I stretching it too
much on the 5 per cent?

However, the boys of the IWA
have been sold down the river too
many times by Pritchett and
gang to take any notice of these
dying bleats. Doesn’t he know
the top song of the week on the
wood workers’ hit-parade is “Sold
down the river on a Sunday Af-

|ternoon”, but maybe he is sing-

ing this'song himself now. Jail
life must get awfully monoton-
ous. Never mind Ernie. You may
soon have lots of company.
