operations of B.C. Forest Pro-
ducts, where the IWA strength

is 100%.

One unique accomplishment of
the Local Union has been the
organization of a wood and fuel
firm in the city, where the wage
scale was immediately and sub-
stantially raised.

Stress has been laid during the
past year on improved efficiency

of plant and camp committees,
and further plans envisage the
full development of a local safety

New Office At Hope

Growth in IWA Local 1-367
has outpaced exisiting facili-
ties with the result that plans
are under consideration to open
a part-time sub-office at Hope
in the near future.

Volume of work now transact-
ed at the Haney office and the
sub-office at Mission now requires
the attention of two business |
agents, who have extensive terri-
tory to cover in order to maintain
contacts with scattered opera-
tions.

Rsponsible for this spurt of
activity is the membership
growth during recent months
from 1,100 to approximately
1,600, and the organization ex-|
pansion in the Harrison Lake}
area,

The membership drive in the

Harrison Lake area, conducted by
Financial Secretary Neil Shaw
brought practically all major
operations under the banner of
the IWA.

Prospects point to the re-open-
ing of operations by the Silver-
Skagit Co. at an early date,
which accounts for the alertness

[of the Local in respect of the

Hope area.

A noteworthy accomplishment
won by Local 1367 during the
past year has been the mainten-
ance of the Coastal scale
throughout the entire Local
Union jurisdiction which extends
up the Fraser Valley to Choate.
This met with determined but
unsucessful opposition by the
operators, who contended for the
Interior scale,

New Hall
Planned

Plans for the purchase of
premises suitable to house
IWA activities in Ladysmith
were considered at the regular
meeting of Sub-Local, 1-80,
IWA, January 12. Participants
in the discussion were Finan-
cial Secretary Ed Linder, ist
Vice-President Harry Casper,
Recording Secretary Lawrence
Jones, and Business Agent
Tony Poje, indicating the in-
terest. of the Local Union in
the proposal.

Latest certification to the credit
of Local 1-80 is that of Gold
Stream Logging Co.

Operations in the jurisdiction
of the Local Union were operat-
ing as usual with only limited
shut-downs for the holiday sea-
son, until interrupted by the re-
cent snowfall. It is anticipated
that this will be of a temporary
nature.

IWA Sub-Local at Cowichan
Lake is sponsoring a film pro-
gram in the Community Hall at
Cowichan Lake, January 26. A
variety program of sport and
educational films is promised.

MOVIE - STRUCK

In Hollywood, Calif., the coun-
try’s longest siege of continuous
picketing ended as the AFL Bro-
therhood of Carpenters withdrew
pickets who had been marching
in front of major film studios for |
four years and six days. The
picketing started as the result of
a jurisdictional dispute which is
now awaiting decision by the

U.S. supreme court.

Local 1-424

Numbers Soar
At Pr. George

Delegates from Local 1-424,
IWA, arriving at the Coast to
attend the District Concention,
report that the past year has
brought a remarkable increase
in the membership strength of
the Prince George Local Union.

Organization activities under
the directionof Financial Secre-
tary C. H. Webb were effectively
assisted during the latter part of
the year by International Repre-
sentative Mike Sekora.

Membership increased from
350 at the beginning of the year
to over 900 at the present date.
Approximately 20 new certifica-
tions were secured. New terri-
tory for the IWA in Quesnel was
invaded by the Prince George
organizers and with astonishing
results in terms of membership
and new certifications. The new
plywood plant at this point will
be an IWA stronghold, it is pre-
dicted.

Organizational activity in the
Burns Lake area was re-estab-
lished in 1950, with the assistance
of Mike Sekora and District Vice-
President Tom Bradley.

An organizational survey has
already been made in the Mc-
Bride area with the intention of
a vigorous drive for members
when weather conditions permit.

A still more ambitious project
in view is the organization of the
Peace River District,. especially
in lumbering operations adjacent
to Dawson Creek and Fort St.
John.
