CCL Supports
E.T.U. Strike

Photograph reproduced in the adjacent columns was
taken on the picket line held by 100 members of the Electrical
Trades Union, Local No. 1, who have been on strike at the
Burrard Dry Dock since January 13. Seen, third from the
left, is Bert Adair, Business Agent of the Union, who was
recently given prominent mention in the news.

This small Local Union, was the only aggregation of
tradesmen in the shipyard to refuse the recommendations of
a number of Conciliation Boards dealing with the general
dispute.

Defying all intimidation from the Company, these elec-
tricians remained firm in their determination to win a more
reasonable adjustment of wages than was offered through
the Boards, and took strike action. They have now appealed
to trade unionists in the province to aid them against the
pressure, which threatens to starve them into submission.

In recognition of their urgent need, Local 1-217, [WA has
raised: and contributed, in aid of the strikers the sum of
$800.00, and Local Union 1-357, IWA, New Westminster,
has subscribed $300.00, with a continuing weekly guarantee
of $100.00 while the strike lasts. ‘

All CCL Unions and their members are pledged: to sup-
port this strike. %
