The attack was one of a number of such provocations which have been strongly protested by the Chinese "People’s government. Two shipyards tied up by unions seeking pay hike ‘As noon whistles blew on Wednesday, 400 shipyard work- _ ers “pulled the pin” at British Columbia’s two largest steel shipyards, Burrard Drydock Company (whose president and major shareholder is Lieutenant Governor Clarence, Wallace) and Pacific Drydock Company. The men are striking for 20 cents per hour across-the-board wage boost and other con- cessions. “We met with the companies *Vednesday morning and _ told them we were prepared to sit down and negotiate, providing Yhey would get rid of Donald B. McLeod, head of Labor Relations Bureau, who represented the em- pleyers during four and one-half months of negotiations and suc- ceeded only in antagonizing the - unions and frustrating any set- tlement,” said William White, president of the Marine Workers Union. “McLeod, a one-time baker, set up his bureau and became an ‘Available Jones’ to any employer who wanted to fight unionism and was prepared to pay his price. His role in negotiations has been to stall, delay and prevent any just settlement,” continued Whie. “With this in mind, the ship- yards unions unanimously de- cided they were prepared to negotiate with company repre- sentatives but not with Mc- Leod. The companies refused, made us no further offers, so we struck. Our pickets are on the job, and we'll maintain picket lines until our just de- mands are met.” Biggest ship affected by the strike is the Gulfside, squatting forlornly at Pacific Drydock with her tail shaft out. The CN tug 107 and a small booming ground tug, the Gogone, are also at Pac- ific. ~ The Stanford Hill is tied up at Burrard Drydock. Work hadn’t started on her when the strike was called, but the ship had been labelled “hot” along with the Cosmosin, ‘passenger vessel at Union Steamship docks; the Dur- ango, lying at Terminal docks; the ManOeran, at Ballantyne pier; the Christie Solun, at Copra Dock, and the Abraham Lincoln at La- pointe pier. F ‘We're always ready to .nego- iate, but we'll not pull off our pickets and not a single member of the nine shipyards unions in- volved will cross a picket line until a settlement is arrived at,” said Bill White, emphatically. As the Pacific Tribune went to press a meeting had been tentatively arranged between the unions and Labor Relations Board for (Thursday afternoon. A meeting of all shipyard unions was scheduled for Thursday morning at Pender Auditorium, prior to the conference with LRB officials. Leaders of several of the ship- yard unions point out that the companies involved in the dispute are Well able to afford the modest 20-cent increase demanded by the unions. Acording to Western Busi- ness, June, 1950. North Burrard made a net profit in 1949 of $405,- 289. The report ended with this gem: “The company’s dividend maintenance fund is still intact, at an amount sufficient to pay Class A dividends for five years.” ' Brief' and pungent comment of the Marine Workers’ Union exec- utive on thé company’s finan- cial position is given in a leaflet addressed to members in the two striking shipyards. “Have you been able to put away enough to pay your own wages for the next five years?” the union asks the workers. Ukrainians name five Nazi DP’s in hall bombing TORONTO Five leaders of the Nazi Storm Troop Division Halychyna .made up of German- Ukrainians, are in Canada, according to the Association of United Ukrainian Canadians. Clese to 5,000 Toronto citizens at a great protest rally in the Coliseum last Sunday afternoon, heard John Weir editor of the Ukrainian Canadian, charge that five members of the Military Council of the SS Halychyna Division which, he said, had fought both on the eastern front and against Allied troops in Italy in the last war were known to }e in .Toronto, Winnipeg and Edmonton, members of the AUUC and other Ukrainian Canadians. The rally was called to demand immediate action by all levels of government to bring to justice those who organized the bombing of the Ukrainian Labor Temple on Bathurst Street here on October 8, The bomb, which exploded during a concert, injured 12 women and children and, had it been directed an inch or two* lower, might have sent the six-inch rail spikes it contained hurtling into the rows of children at the front of the hall. the force of the explosion had embedded them. In outlining the background of terrorism and murder in Europe organized by a body known as the -Banderists, Weir said the SS Halychyna .Division fought as part of the German army on both the eastern front and in Italy. “The official Nazi paper in the Ukrainian language, published in Lviv (Lvov) under the German occupation, Lvivski Visti, in its April 29, 1943, issue announced that the German governor Dr. D. Wechter had appointed the Mili-. tary Council for the establishment ~ of the SS Division Halychyna,” Weir told the assembly. “Among the members of that Military Council, headed by the German Col. Alfred Bisantz, we find the following names: Osip Nawrotsky, Andriv Paliy and Stepan Wolinetz and others. Am- ong the special agents of that Military Council, the name of Petro Bigus is mentioned. These were the top organizers of that SS Division. “Osip Nawrotsky is now in Win- nipeg. Andriy Paliy is in Toron- to. Stepan Wolinetz is in Winni- peg. Petro Bigus is in Toronto. “There are others, some of whom we know and others should be known to the authorities. For ‘example, Mikhailo Rosivak, one of the organizers of the SS Divi- sion Palvenyns is now in Edmon- ton.” (A Toronto newspaper inter- viewed Andrew Paliy and report- ed him as saying hé was con- “scripted by the military comman- dant in Lemberg in western Uk- raine. He said he served as “‘wel- fare officer” but did not wear a uniform. (Commenting on the report) Weir told the Pacific Tribune he had in his possession a copy of Lvivski Vista which, he sad, car- lied a picture of Paliy at a cere- mony of taking the oath to Hit- ler. Weir said Paliy was trans- lating for Dr. Otto Wechter, Nazi gaulieter for Galicia. “He. was a member of the military council, who were a special group, not officers, but organizers.) In his address at the Coliseum, Weir said the activities of the Banderist groups continued after the war in the DP camps of Eur- ope. They took over the “govern- ment” of those camps by sheer terrorism, he said. “Murders, beat- ings-up, the whole story is repeat- ed.” He quoted extensively from the press of Ukrainian national- ist organizations here and in Ger- many to show how the Banderists had chosen Canada as their area of “great concentration.” He said the advice given the Banderist members in Canada was revealed in an article by the Ban- derist leader Zeron Pelensky, in the June 25 issue of Ukrainets- Chas, published in Paris. Pelensky wrote: “There is not the slightest reason why the Ukrainian rebel independence armed forces (in A section of wall torn out by the bomb set off in Toronto’s Ukrainian Labor Temple. Canada and elsewhere) jshould not shoot the whole top layer of the Ukrainian Communist party.” “Among the DP’s” said Weir, “aye some hundreds, perhaps a thousand, former SS men, Bander- ist leaders, organizers and hang- men. In Canada they have contin- ued their organization, establish- ed their own discipline and terror- ism and are acting along lines laid down by their headquarters in Germany.” (Text of the AUUC information on these terrorist groups has been turned over to the Toronto Police Department.) Referring to the nationalist committee of Ukrainians in Can- ada (KUK), Weir said the Ban- derist DP’s had undertaken to “reform” the organization, “They declared these bodies are not cap- able or fitted to the needs of ‘mili- tant nationalism’,” he said “To help capture these bodies, the Ban- derists formed their own organ- ization, the League for the Liber- ation of the Ukraine, with its or- gan Ukrainian Echo, published in Toronto, edited by R. Rakhman- NY. (Rakhmanny was quoted by a Toronto paper as saying he knew something about home-made bombs and that when he had made them in the Ukraine they did not injure, they killed.) “There have been bloody bat- tles in Ukrainian nationalist halls and churches which the press has kindly hushed up but which are known to the police,” the speaker said, leaders and halls of the AUUC, beginning with a bomb thrown at ' William Teresio, AUUC president in Edmonton in 1948; the beating up by a group led by DP Dimitro Kopiak of the Ukrainian Word, business manager at Spedden, Al- PACIFIC TRIBUNE — OCTOBER 20, 1950 — PAGE 12. He reviewed attacks against scenes of two bombings and violent attacks on Thirteen spikes were later, recovered from the concrete walls and the ceiling where berta (Kopiak was sentenced to jail); the raids on the Saskatoon, Winnipeg and Timmins Ukrain- ian Halls by Banderist groups. Concluding his indictment, Weir said the AUU'C wanted an end to terrorism in Canada. “We want our mothers to be able to gather together without fear of explod- ing bombs. We want our children to study music and dancing with carefree hearts. We want to be able to argue any question with- out knives and bullets. We want any rivalry there is to be rivalry in work, in spreading culture, in working for Canada, We want this for ourselves and all Cana- dians, “And so we raise the cry and know that all Canadians will say the same: Apprehend and bring to justice the dastardly criminals ‘who planted the bomb at the chil- dren’s concert last Sunday. Round up, re-screen and deport all those posing as DP’s who organize and plot and promulgate terrorism in our coun’ The children’s concert which was interrupted by the bomb on- October 8, was completed before an audience eight times as big in the Coliseum. William Teresio opened the ral- ly. He spoke,of the great cultural contribution Ukrainian Canadians were making to Canada. “It is our obvious duty as citizens to ask for the fullest measure of pro- tection from these terrorist for the whole community. No one is safe so long as they are at large,” he declared, John Boychuk, national treasur- er, said the cultural activity had “become part of our lives for the past 45 years.” The AUUC did not want revenge, he said, it wanted protection for the children and for all halls, churches and syna- gogues. His appeal for financial aid brought a collection of over $2,500. Teresio told the audience that Mayor McCallum had advised him he was ill and unable to attend. Controller Lamport sent a wire to the meeting giving assurance he would “work to bring to justice” the terrorists. | Mrs, Margaret Spaulding, chair- man of the League for Democratic Rights, introduced Dr. Harry Ward, professor Emeritus of Christian Ethics at Union Theo- logical College, New York, who said the end of such fascist at- tacks was the business of every- One in Canada. “No people which permits ter- rorist acts can claim democracy,” he said. He linked the bomb at- tack to the drive to fascism and war and urged the audience to “join the 400 million who demand the United Nations end the mass bombings of civilian populations.”
