Shipyards

T. Gardner, Vancouver, writes: I
am a member of a trade union in the
shipbuilding industry and I would
like to comment on the possibility of
forming of one union to bargain on an
industry wide basis. There are
eleven trade unions involved in the
industry in B.D.D. and for the past
number of years we have managed to
negotiate jointly, but only after a
great deal of deliberation on the part
of the unions.

I am in close contact with the
general membership of the various
unions from day to day. and my
observations convince me, that they
are in full accord with the joint
negotiation set up. providing they do
not lose their identity. individually.
as members of their respective
unions.

Regarding negotiating jointly, the
thought of loss of identity, is insenate
to say the least. and would not be any
moreso by the forming of an
industrial union. In our industry each
and every division or trade is
dependent on the other, and
irrespective of where we pay our
dues. we still remain, platers,
enginefitters, shipwrights, etc., and
as such derive the same benefits.

Fear of loss. are the code words,
and are fostered and promulgated in
the heads of some of the union
leaders, who are too busy building
their own little empires. (or trying to
hold them together) rather than
point out to their members the
benefits that can be derived by
getting together. Negotiating jointly
is a step in the right direction, but
until the union heads begin to use
their heads, in a more selfless
manner, an industrial union is a long
way off.

These are my observations, and
‘not necessarily those of my union.

Peace action

Allan A. Blakey, Vancouver.
writes: In the October 27 issue of the
PT most of the front page was
devoted to the October 2ist. march
and the October 22nd. conference.
This prominence was as it should be.

However, I was disappointed that
the coverage of these crucial events
merely related some general
information of a news nature and
failed to analyse the quality or
political level of the affairs in
relation to past efforts.

: For instance. for the first time the

Qeet FORUM

Communist Party marched under its
own banner and vet. the number of
organizations and notables involved
was broader than before.

In other words, the march and the
conference (also with Communist
Party delegates) indicated the
waning influence of anti-
Communism and. in fact. struck a
major blow in combatting this
divisive disease.

In addition the Communist Party
also issued a leaflet to the
demonstration, setting forth its
support of the purposes of the march
and. also. presenting its own Marxist
point of view on war.

A more detailed document was
passed out at the conference. That
both were well received. I as a
Communist Party delegate to the
conference. had many indications.

It would seem to me that such
developments were important
advances for the anti-war movement
and that the Tribune should have
noted them.

(Editors Note: The PT draws attention
to the fact that our special “Stop the
War” issue, which was distributed in large
quantities during the Oct. 21-22 weekend,
and of which about 400 copies were sold
at the Vancouver protest, devoted a
considerable part of its Vietnam protest
story to a summary of the leaflet
published by the Vancouver Communist
Party.

Also in that same issue it was reported
that for the first time organizations will be
marching under their own banners. We

listed all organizations taking part in the

march and conference.

In a week which saw the biggest
protest around the world and in
Vancouver against’ the war, we believed
our readers all over B.C. wanted to read
about this protest. Unfortunately stories
and pictures we had from other parts of
Canada and the world could not be used
because of space problems.

However, we agree with the writer that

Communists need to analyse the

eoocccececceooe

significance of the Oct. 21 demonstrations
and give their views on what they believe
the peace movement should do now to
dissociate Canada from u.s. policy and
end the war. We hope to have such
articles in our pages in the near future.).

Comments

George Collins, Vancouver.
writes: I see where my subscription
to the PT is overdue and will be
rectified next week on payday. But I
would like to comment critically
about communications between
audience and writer. I remember
years ago I felt I had that with Bill
Bennett's column “Short Jabs,” of
which there has been no real tangible
evidence since.

To tell you the truth I find
socialism easy reading in ““‘NN™
(Northern Neighbors) publications
and many of the publications from
the Soviet Union.

Perhaps I’ve lost my way
somewhere or somehow, and am
missing in the mainstream of labor
events that at one time appeared to
be attractively shown in the pages of
our labor press.

Smoke screen

H. J. Hansen, Vancouver. writes:
We hear a lot these days about the
“two language concept” and other
issues. I can only say that a lot of this
talk is designed to serve as a smoke
screen to draw the attention of the
people away from government
responsibility in the area of public
health and welfare.

This health problem cannot be
solved by threats or putting on wordy
circuses by misfits in high places. 1
call them Birchites or Facists.>
Hitler appealed to the criminal
elements for support of his policies.
These people who follow the U.S.-
Dulles line do much the same thing.
