Page Eight B.C. LUMBER WORK ER CCL CONVENTION BACKS B.C. PROTEST “The National Convention of the Canadian Congress of Labor this year was one of the most suecessful and significant on rec- ord. The eight hundred delegates who assembled in the Ottawa Coliseum were truly representa- tive of Canadian industrial work- pe In these words, District Presi- dent J. Stewart Alsbury, reported to the B.C. District IWA_mem- hership over the Green Gold radio program on his return to the Coast last week. International Labor Unity The 95,000 workers in the woods and woods products indus- try were well. represented, claimed the speaker. IWA dele- gates from B.C. who had re- cently atended their International Convention in Vancouver, were able to present the views of the lumber workers in this province effectively.” The outcome pointed to the. possibilities of close and harmonious relationship with the great labor movement of this continent.” LPP Disruption The disorder reported in the press was described by President Alsbury as an attempt to create the impression that minority groups were given the fullest op- portunity to express their views. A full defence was permitted unions and union officials whose disloyal actions made them sub- ject to discipline. They abused the privilege by attempts to ob- struct the work of the Conven- tion. The policies pursued by the National Executive were upheld be an overwhelming majority. Federal Labor Code All provinces reported attempts. to. impose restrictive labor legis- lation on trade unions, reported the District official. As a result, he stated, the Congress conven- tion instituted a campaign to se- eure a National Labor Code to establish uniform rights and priv- ileges for trade unions across Ca- nada. The protest made by the B.C. Federation of Labor against the recent arbitrary rulings of the Labor Relations Board were sup- ported by the Convention in an emergency resolution, he stated. The principle by which organized workers have the right to select as bargaining agent, the union of their own choice was endorsed. CCL-PAC The Convention again rec- orded its recognition of the CC- F as the political arm of labor, and decided to continue the P- AC activities on a permanent basis. The District President was emphatic in his declaration that no consideration was given to affiliation with any political party, and that funds raised for the purpose would be se- cured by yoluntary means. and would be administered by the Congress agencies. SHOP STEWARD & CHECK -OFF By J. Stewart Alsbury It has been brought to my attention that in many instances confusion arises and inconvenience caused IWA mem- bers through the failure of shop stew- ards, to complete properly the IWA check-off slip. set This is especially true when a mem- ber seeks his trans- fer from one Local to another. We are therefore : reproducing on this fi page a completed , check = off form, as p=) Al provided by Bro, £24 Fred Fieber, Local J. S. Alsbury 1-71 IWA, to remind shop stewards in logging camps how to avoid com- mon errors. Logging camp shop stewards should be careful when reporting a transfer to give the number of the Local from which the transfer is desired. It is most “important to enter the card number, otherwise it is difficult to trace the records and complete the transfer. If a member pays arrears of dues, be sure to enter the amount, and indi- cate the months for which arttears are paid. Please print in block letters the name of the member where indicated. Frequently it is difficult to decipher the name or secure the correct spell- ing of a name from the signature.
