In a confident and stirring ad-
dress, the Canadian Peace Con-
gress chairman appealed for re-
newed peace action throughout
the country.

“The world is now on the brink
of disarmament,” he said. “So let
us up and at it with renewed
vigor and zeal. Not only are we
of the Peace Congress in this
struggle until disarmament is
achieved, but we can now rejoice
that the Canadian people as a
whole are entering the struggle,
together with the people of the
entire world.

“Tf we now act together and
stick with the job, we may find
it will come sooner than we ex-
pect.”

In closing, he quoted a text
from the Bible, “Be not weary in
well-doing,” he said, “After all, it
is only a few years. since men
set to work in the greatest effort
in history, realizing that we can
now abolish the scourge of war
which has afflicted mankind for
thousands of years.

“In these short years two dan-
gerous' wars have been ended and
the threat of the most frightful
war has been pushed back. We
have gained time to bring about
disarmament and_ international
cooperation. What if we have to
work for a few years more? Have
not our labors been proven a
thousand times worthwhile?

“What a noble cause we have
set ourselves. We have opened
up to mankind a great hope, peace
in our time. Churchill said in his
last European speech that poli-
cies of violence offered Europe
the ‘unity of death and ashes’.
That is the meaning of brink of
war diplomacy. We offer peace
and cooperation.

“Is there anyone here who
thought seven years ago that
with the amount of work we
were able to do that we could
for the first time in history sub-
due an arms race and take the
first brave steps towards real
disarmament and the shining
new world of the full and
peaceful use of atomic energy?”

BRIEFS

The 1,300-members Plumbers’
Union, Local 170 rejected an em-
ployers’ last-move wage offer at
a special meeting Saturday and
will hold a strike vote in the
near future.

A strike of plumbers would
cripple construction of a num-
ber of important jobs and hit
industries such as pulp mills,
dependent on daily services of
plumbers.

Union demanded a 25 percent
wage boost which would. raise
their basic wage from $2.35 an
hour to $2.94. The employers’
offer was not made public but is
understood to be in the vicinity
of 20 cents over two years.

‘A conciliation board recom-
mended a 20-cent-an-hour pay
hoist over a two-year period but
this was rejected by the union.

Wage talks between IWA and

will resume on June 25. The
union is asking a 19-cent wage
increase to bring interior wages
in line. with those paid IWA
members on the coast.

A two-year pact raising basic

quitting to go to better-paid jobs
and between 15 and 20 coaches
are standing idle every day be-
cause of lack of operators, Street
Railwaymen’s Union
agent Charles Steward said this
week.

One result is that fewer buses
are used during rush hours, and
more passengers are forced to
stand.

In the case of the herring, a

are still in dispute.

International merger of Amal-
gamated Meat Cutters Union and
United: Packinghouse Workers,
which is expected to take place
in about three months, will pave
the way for the setting up of a
provincial federation in B.C.,
according to George Johnston,
business agent for Meat Cutters
here.

The merger will bring to-
gether about 30,000 workers in
Canada, including some 3,500 in
Bee.

Meanwhile the issue of Wed-
nesday closing has brought local
meat cutters and 200 independent
butcher shop owners into sharp
conflic: with big chain stores,
| which keep their meat counters
in operation whenever the stores
are open.

Appearing before Vancouver
City Council this week with a
large delegation of butchers,
union spokesman George John-
ston said that under B.C. legisla-

Merger will unite

tion butchers were entitled to
set their own hours by majority
vote.

The union wants the six-day
shopping week bylaw repealed so
that all meat sales counters, in-

dependent or otherwise, must

close Wednesday afternoons, and
at 6 p.m. Saturdays and 5:30 p.m.
other weekdays.

Chain stores stay open Friday
evening and keep their meat
counters in operation.

_ Johnston claimed the law was
being broken by the chain stores,
and accused council of not en-
forcing its.own bylaws.

“Are we to be governed by
mob rule?” barked NPA Ald.
Bill Orr. His remark brought
angry catcalls from the butchers.

Council decided to seek legisla-
tion next winter to amend the
bylaw without a plebiscite.
