FIRST RACE

men who “boot ’em home” began
to smoulder.

Led by jockey - spokesmen.
George Godley, Eugene Stallings
and Johnny Craigmyle, the jock-
eys struck as the first race was
scheduled to start at 4 p.m. Mon-
day, and told operator Randall:

Thirty jockeys at Exhibition
Park gave track operator Sam
Randall a short but rough ride
Monday afternoon which enabled
_them to split a $12,000 “purse”
after Sam conceded victory at the
clubhouse turn.

Fire destroyed the jockeys’
equipment on August 18 and when
management, in the person of
Randall, showed no desire to re-
imburse them for their losses, the

erties left in their buildings, we
expect them to take the loss.”
Randall huffed and puffed, to no
avail. After the horses entered
for the opening race had been
parading around the paddock for
nearly an hour and the crowd in
the stands was growing restless,
the track operator agreed to pay
all claims, estimated at $12,000.
“They had me over a barrel, and

they rolled it,” he ruefully told a
reporter later.

At Stamford Park near Niagara
Falls, Ont., jockeys also struck
Monday this week over what they
considered an unjust suspension
of apprentice rider Jack Bromby.
After racing hac been held up for
17 minutes, stewards modified
their ruling and the jockeys went
back to work.

In the drive to war today

Prices jump again -
what abouf wages

Prices are still going up in Van-
couver. Butter advanced one cent
a pound this week and some soft
drinks jumped from five to six
cents Monday. A bread boost is
expected in the near future. Tobac-
co prices will increase five cents
for a half-pound tin.

Doughnut ‘bakers hiked the price
of their product to cafe operators
from 35 cents to 40 cents a dozen,
and an increase in coffee prices is
predicted by. the roasters. Some

grades of coffee may hit the $1 per
pound mark.

New Westminster headed the

from North Vancouver, Campbell

Score for the week is 35 subs, a

the annual campaign for 2,000
subs starting September 15, all clubs
are asked to make plans for
Pacific Tribune canvassing from
that date on.

Defending the peace and expos-
ing the lies of the war makers are
‘a few progressive trade union
papers and B.C. labor’s weekly
paper, the Pacific Tribune. The
task of winning new readers for
these voices of truth is of first-
rate importance.

From September 15 to October 31
the Pacific Tribune will hold its
annual subscription drive, aiming
at 2000 new readers and sub re-
newals in the six-week period. This
campaign will go over the top if it
receives active support from every
reader. . :

couver 54 subs, and Kitsilano, 48%.

We confidently expect LPP sup-
porters to do an even better job
this year, and hope that all clubs
will accept drive targets and get
|off to a flying start‘ on September
15.

But the drive musn’t be con-
fined to such organized activity,
important though it is. Scattered
throughout B.C. are several thou-
sand readers who, by securing
just ONE new subscription each,
can ensure the success of the
1950 drive. The job of selling a
sub to ONE friend becomes the
task of every Pacific Tribune
supporter,

| three people read each copy of the
Pacific Tribune. An additional
2,000 subs, therefore, actually means
an extra 6,000 readers. This num-
ber of additional fighters for peace
and labor’s rights will greatly
strengthen the ranks of those who
seek to prevent the madmen of
Wall Street from unleashing the
horrors of atomic war upon the
peoples of the world.

The drive dates again: Septem-
ber 15 to October 31. . The target:
2,000 new subs and renewals.

More than 15,000 signatures to
the Stockholm Appeal calling for
banning of atomic weapons have
been collected in British Columbia,
and a mass canvass on. Vancouver
street corners this coming Satur-

day is expected to add another
1,000 names.

At Pacific Tribune press time,
results frem an East End petition
canvass by scores of Vancouver
peace petitioners had not yet been
tabulated.

Groups of petitioners hope to
add new thousands of names to
the world peace appeal in Septem-
ber by concenterated canvassing at
factory gates.

“Workers are eager to sign the
peace petitidh,” said Oscar Osipov,
a clerk at the Stratford hotel. “In
the past few weeks I have signed

up over 250 loggers, seamen and
railway porters.”
