What's council’s
jobless program ?

“The disclosure that unemployment in the province is already higher than it was @
this time last year indicates the need for Vancouver City Council to give leadership on thi

issue, both in undertaking works projects itself and ih pressing senior governments for ade |

quate programs,”

this week.

Mrs. Morgan was comment-
ing on figures disclosed by the
federal government’s monthly
labor survey, which showed
that unemployment in B.C.
as of October 23 was 45,056
as compared with 41,868 i
October last year, and in th
country as a whole 313,000,
up 102,000 from the compar-
able 1957 figure.

os

In a six-point election pro-
gram released to the press
this week, Mrs. Morgan places
unemployment as the first
point.

She calls for:

@ Immediate action to create
jobs, including large-scale
slum clearance and housing
projects and construction
of schools, hospitals and
other public buildings.

@ An early start on a fed-
eral-provincial public works
program.

@ Pressure by Vancouver City
Council on the provincial
government for measures
to prevent evictions and
foreclosures. A moratorium
on. city tax penalties
where homeowners are un-
employed.

@® Support by Vancouver City
Council for organized la-
bor’s demand that unem-
ployment benefits be paid
to all unemployed for the
full period of their un-
employment.

® Provision of relief to needy
unemployed until better
provision is made.

@ Vigorous action to promote
more trade through the
Port of Vancouver’ with
China Commonwealth and
other countries as a means
of stimulating employ-
ment.

Four candidates vie

for Rossland-Trail

TRAIL, B.C.—The political pot began boiling in the Ros”
land-Trail byelection this week, with four candidates nominat
and provincial leaders of four parties, CCF, Liberal, Conserv?”
tive and LPP, here to plan their campaigns. 3

Ald. F. E. (Buddy) De Vito,
popular pro-unity member of
the Trail CCF club, who re-
cently appeared before the
CCF provincial council to suc-
cessfully appeal for Mine-
Mill’s inclusion in the Koote-
nay lLabor-CCF Conference,
has been named as his party’s
standard bearer. ~

The Conservatives have
nominated Ald. Alex Broken-
shire, CMS staff member, and
Dr. M. E. Krause, who won
the nomination, following the
last-minute withdrawal of J.
Hall, member of Mine-Mill,
is the Liberal’s choice.

Don Brothers, Trail lawyer,
who was his party’s federal
candidate and runner-up in
West Kootenay, was given the
Socred nomination in a bit-
terly fought contest’ -with
Mayor Harold Elmes of Ross-
land.

Addressing a constituency
meeting of LPP members at
Castlegar last Saturday, pro-
vincial leader Nigel Morgan
said:

“The eyes of B.C. will be on
Rossland-Trail throughout this
byelection and nothing is
more likely to compel the
Bennett government to quick-
ly reconsider its position on
the giveaway of our resources,
compulsory arbitration, pan-
dering to Wenner-Gren and
