Preservation of union democracy seen as key question by Fishermen A six-point program ‘of action calling for higher living standards, social sectrrity, trade union democracy, civil rights for all, and world fishery resources, development oi peace and world trade was presented to the seventh annual convention of United Fish- ermen and- Allied Workers’ U lighted the officers’ report, than 7,000 B.C. fishermen and shoreworkers, r “For the achievement of these aims we need to perfect 100 per- cent trade union organization and complete the organization of the unorganized,” the report stressed. “But successful and complete or- ganization is impossible unless those who seek to encourage witch hunts and internal division within the trade union movement are de- cisively defeated. “Trade union democracy means that the self-government of every union must be preserved in .the hands of the membership of that unibn, that the right of every member to speak, to criticize and to vote on all policies and deci- cisions without fear of coercion vr discrimination must be pro-— tected. “We must continue to oppose the attempted usurption by AFL lead- ership of the fundamental rights of Canadian workers to decide on their own. policies, run their own unions, and elect their own officers in accord with the moods’ and in- terests of Canadian workers.” Dealing with the vital issue of civil rights, the report stated: “To preserve democratic trade unions we must preserve and extend de- mocracy for all our citizens. Red- baiting has always been the smoke- sereen behind which liberty has been destroyed. The history of Hitlerism should have proven that beyond all possibility of doubt. It is a mistake to think that so-cai‘ed anti-communist legislation is di- rected only against communists. Such measures threaten every citi- zen who desires in any way tc disapprove or oppose any measure or policy. All that is\then needed to clamp down on any critic is to call bim or her g communist.’ Taking ‘a forthright stand for world peace and world trade, tre report continued: “Let us at all times be unafraid to speak up for Canada. W:2 know that the majority of our fellow- Canadians wish to maintain world peace with justicé to all peoples and countries; that they are hearti @ ly sick of ‘cold’ and ‘hot’ wars and the galloping inflation and useless destruction that accompanies them. - “If resolutions passed by our previous conventions in favor of Canadian recognition of the Peo- ple’s Republic of China and of encouragement. of trade both within the British Commonwealth and between Canada and _ all other countries had been acted upon, the world today woukl he a much more pleasant place to ive in than is presently the case. “As the crisis deepens many more voices are raised to repeat what this organization advocated in “geal vious ccnventions, The report was signed by union president George Miller, secretary Homer Stevens and business pecnt A.

The CCF national council state- ment announced: “After a study of the minutes of the Socialist Fellowship, the coun- cil is convinced that whatever the original intention may have been. it has.developed all the character- istics of another political party. Members pay dues and are re- quired to pledge to it their loyalty, a loyalty which it declares must take precedence over that to the CCF. : “The CCF cannot tolerate with- in itself*another political organiza- tion for which its constitution makes no Dothdepe and over which it has no control . Grant MacNeil, CCF provincial president, expressed his ~ “full agreement” with the national coun- cil’s statement, charged in a front- page interview with the Vancouver Sun that “full and confidential de- tails’ of a closed OCF provincial council meeting had been publish- ed by a Trotskyite paper. sored jointly by the Labor-Pro- | STOP THE Premium Increase The Coalition gov’t. has railroaded through an amendment to the Hospital Act giving the Hospital Insurance Commission authority to increase hospital premiums from $33 to $42, in face of vigorous opposition of the vast majority of British Columbians.
