Women’s Council
The

following is a fuller report
mitted by Sisters Muriel

and Kay Rankin, on the
Institute

IWA in the event of a strike |
in a motion passed by the

sue of The B.C, Lumber Worker.

“Brother Winn gaye a very in-
teresting account of Trade Union
history, starting with the slave
labor on the pyramids and early
strike action taken in England
and United States.

He dealt with the history of
the Union in the lumber industry
and included in the lecture men-
tion of the following: Shingle
Weavers’ International Union
(AFL, International Brotherhood
of Woodsmen and Sawmill Work-
ers (AFL), the IWW, the LIUW,
the 4 L’s, the OBU, the UBC & J
of America, the LSWU, the Fed-
eration of Woodworkers and the
start_of the IWA.

Aftér the intermission, we
were disappointed as the speaker
dealt with personalities and ig-
nored the important role that
women have played in the trade
union movement, making no men-
tion of the Molly McGuire’s, nor
the tvade union history that was
made right here in B.C. by our
own Union and Auxiliary move-
ment,

We felt that there was a rich
tradition in the building of the
Union and Auxiliary in the lum-
ber industry in B. G.”

The membership of the Aux-
iliary is still growing, and mem-
bers welcomed at their May
meeting Sister Myrtle Cooper.
Sister Lucille Busch of the W.A.
has been very fortunate to be
able to attend the Coronation.

The tea, sponsored by the Van-
couver Council of Women, was
very successful with the program
including music and a sale of
home cooking.

FORESTS
SAVED
IN SASK.

REGINA — Vigorous forest
conservation measures in Saskat-
chewan have saved the province's
lumber industry from eventual
ruin and halved the incidence of
forest fires.

Planning to maintain a sus-
tained yield from the forests
of the province, has saved Sas-
katchewan’s white spruce
stands which were rapidly
nearing extinction. The estab-
lishment of an annual cutting
quota of 40 million board feet
on white spruce saw timber has
re-established white spruce and
stabilized the province’s lum-
bering industry.

As another weapon in the bat-
tle to preserve the forests, a Fire
Control Branch of the province’s
Natural Resources Department
was formed in April, 1951. Prior
to that time, fire control had been
the responsibility of the Forestry
Branch. Since the Fire Control
Branch was established, the inci-
dence of forest fites in Saskat-
ehewan has been the lowest in
20 years. In 1952 there were only
187 forest fires compared with

the long-term average of 250.

UNIONISTS,

FARMERS
CONFER

SASKATOON — Farmer-
labor co-operation “on broad
general policies” is likely to
result from a co-ordinating
committee set up by the prairie
farm unions this week.

The Interprovincial Farm
Union Council of Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta has set
up the committee to reach “a bet-
ter understanding and closer re-
lationship on broad general poli-
cies, with labor groups.”

The presidents of the three
western farm unions Jake
Schulz of Manitoba, Joseph
Phelps of Saskatchewan and
Henry Young of Alberta will
form the committee.

TRY THIS
IN B.C!

WASHINGTON — Senator
Butler (Republican, Maryland)
has called upon the Eisenhower
administration to fire all those
government employees which
he calls “socialist liberals”.

Socialist liberals, Butler
style, include all those who
think labor unions are good”,
who believe in “public welfare
Measures” or consider wages
are worthier than profits.
