. Democratic Principles

ACTION taken by the Vancouver Joint Labor Committee to
Combat Racial Discrimination in placing before the City
Council a Civic Anti-discrimnaton By-law, should receive the warm

commendation

d full support of every trade unionist. It speaks

well for the trade union movement that it should have taken the
jnitiative in this respect, and spoken for the wider application of
principles of the brotherhood of man.

The pith of the bylaw is that
it would make it unlawful for
any licensee under civic bylaws. to

refuse goods or ,
services to any |
person solely be- |
cause of race, re- |
ligion, or color.

It protects the al ‘
rights of the in-

dividual against 4 foes
any such discri-

mination. by in-

voking penalties

against any de-

liberate infraction of the propos-
ed bylaw.

‘The mixed reception given the
simple proposals of united labor
reveal how deeply xooted in our
community life are certain per-
nicious prejudices.

Outlaw Race Hate
To those who say that it is not

necessary, we say that they are
attempting to gloss over the
many concrete instances of race
and religious hatred found in
prevailing business practices. The
attempts to keep sections of the
community in an inferior posi-
tion, constitutes a threat to the
health and progress of the whole
community. =

To those who say that race
hatred cannot be wiped out by
Jaw, we say that like any other
anti-social act against the com-
munity it should be dealt with
under law approved and enforced
by the community.

IWA members have learned the
importance of challenging racial
discrimination to the point where
it is written in large letters in
the Union’s constitution. We have
learned that when any. group on
racial -or religious grounds is

It negates the good will so essen-

Democracy is not what it says
but what it does. It is high time
that we wiped the slate clean of
