Lumber unions sign
no-raiding agreement

NELSON, B.C.

Two interior groups of lumber workers hammered out
a mutual agreement pact last week. Involved were the
independent Woodworkers Industrial Union of Canada,
Kootenay District, and the Lumber and Sawmill locals of
the United Brotherhood of Carpenters in the Creston, West

Summerland, Rutland and
Vernon areas.
The agreement was ratified

at the constituent convention

Seek right
to affiliate

TORONTO

Winning of the right to ad-
mission was an affiliate of the
Canadian Labor Congress was
set as a major goal of the inde-
pendent United Electrical
Workers’ Union at its conven-
tion here last week.

Delegates endorsed a reso-
lution commending the merger
of the CLC as “a powerful pro-
gressive development in the
long struggle for trade union
unity.”

The 25,000-member union
resolved to continue and, ex-
pand efforts to develop fullest
fraternal relations with all
other unions on economic and
legislative questions.

It conditioned its aim of
seeking admission to the CLC
with the declaration that there
should be “firm agreement on
there being an end to raiding
and that the autonomous and
democratic rights of the mem-

bers and the union... be
respected and observed.”
Delegates condemned the

present raid now being con-
ducted by the United Steel-
workers on UE at Canada
Wire and Cable where it holds
a contract...

Re-elected to head UE were
Cc. S. Jackson, president;
George Harris, secretary-treas-
urer; Jean Pare, vice presi-
dent; and Ross Russell, secre-
tary-organizer.

Warm approval was given
the action taken by the UE in-
ternational convention of UE
giving Canadian members the
constitutional right “to de-
clare at any time they choose
complete independence as a
Canadian union.

The convention called on all
locals to launch a full-scale
legislative program of demands
seeking a national health plan,
housing for workers, unem-

ployment insurance changes.

of the WIUC, ‘held in Eagles’
Hall here last Sunday.

Guest speakers were Rich-
ard Norris, district representa-
tive of the Carpenters, Clem
Thompson, president of Ne!-
son Mine-Mill local and Sam
English, president of the Mi-
chel local, United Mine Work-
ers. The IWA, which was in-
vited to send a speaker, did
not. attend, allegedly because
of jurisdictional differences
with the Carpenters.

All speakers stressed the im-
portance of labor unity at the
local level, irrespective of af-
filiations.

The agreement states the
need of contracting unions to
foster mutual understanding
and cooperation.”

It provides that the individ-
ual shall have the right to join
the union of his choice and de-
clares that all parties to the
agreement are opposed to
raiding. It further pledges
that the parties will stand to-
gether to protect their respec-
ive jurisdictions and “bring
about final unity in our trade.”

When questioned by the Pa-

cific Tribune, Raymond Mas- -

sey, WIUC business agent,
said that the Carpenters had
given their verbal consent io
the pact through their repre-
sentative, Richard Norris,
when he addressed the con-
vention.
