Menzies Bay IWA bulletin this week took a blast at MacMillan- Bloedel for hiring contractors (chunk haulers) in their Eve River division who are outside the bargaining unit, and putting them to falling and bucking blow- down timber. IWA men say this was done after regular employees were laid off. The crew took job action, the Bulletin says, and after a few days went back to work expecting the dispute to be resolved. The contractors, unwilling to be used as union wreckers, decided not to return to work. The company, through its new spokesman Walter Allen is now claiming that the fallers intim- idated the contractors and demands that the union bring the contractors back to work! To penalize the fallers the company laid them off. Oh where, oh where, is our union? asks the bulletin. “The fallers at, Eve River are illegally locked out whether we or the courts recognize it or not,’’ the Bulletin says. “The crew must not be left to settle this issue with the Mac and Bloe Empire alone.”’ The loggers call for a con- ference of representatives and committees of all MacMillan- Bloedel logging operations to consider how to assist the brothers at Eve River. * OK OK The Nemetz report recom- mended that many of the fallers demands of last year be nego- tiated on a local and camp level. Menzies Bay fallers met on June 2ist and instructed their camp chairman to ask the company to negotiate fallers demands on a camp level and this was agreed to. Negotiations were to start on June 28, but since then there has been no further report, says the Bulletin. : If the agreement is not signed soon the fallers in Local 1-363 want a meeting to consider further steps to facilitate a satisfactory settlement.

It also Not strong on Justice, but plenty on ‘Law’ BY MABEL RICHARDS A Review on the play WINDIGO I once covered a court session in a northern bush town (popula- tion 1,000 Cree, 300 whites) where an Indian chap, unable to either understand or speak English, was before the visiting magistrate on a charge of steal- ing valuables from a tourist. The RCMP officer who arrested him was the sole witness, and there was no defence. The stolen goods, the officer said, had been found under the cabin of the accused. Without further ado, and without a word from the accused who understood not a word of the proceedings, the magistrate sentenced him toa year in jail. On the way out of the courtroom, I asked the police officer if it were not possible the stolen goods had been “planted” by someone else? : “No way’, said the mountie. “He’s guilty alright. He has a record, you know.” So much for ‘‘justice’”’ for the native Indian in the backwoods of Canada. I found it not surprising, therefore, to hear that four out of the dozen young men who took part in the remarkable Windigo perform- ance at the Arts Club on Satur- day night were Indian and Metis from northern Alberta and Saskatchewan. They too have seen ‘justice’ at its least majes~ tic. Windigo is a play that speaks compellingly of injustice, oppression, and the forced degredation of the Indian people. Performed by a group of inmates of Matsqu! Institution, it is at once lively, moving, on e-opening — eye-opening in te eins it mute forward, the depth of feeling many Indians feel about the land, and most important, the ability of young men, most of them admittedly without experience, to come out of an institution and perform like veteran actors before an audience. Cree, Sioux, Blackfoot, Kwatuil, Shuswap, — these actors were representative of a cross-Canada Indian world, and their lot, as they told it during the performance, ran in one mould: deprived of their land, forced on to reserves, deprived of decent education, often hungry, discriminated against in employment the discourage- ment, the frustration, the road to prison. And the story was told in the language of poets.’’ Your wheatlands glow and sway beneath the prairie sun’’, one of the actors stepped forward to say, ‘‘yet a little girl in my village died of hunger today And one by one the Indian actors indicted the white man and his society. The film Ballad of Crowfoot, a National Film Board production, preceded the poetry readings and the play. The film is a masterpiece of its kind. Everyone should make a point of seeing it, when and if it is available, as they should make a | point of attending a performance of Windigo when it comes to Vancouver again.

UFAWU-Brotherhood com- mittee members, who were unanimous in recommending rejection of the companies’ offer, viewed the strike as a limited success in terms of gains achieved. The last vote was accompanied by a frantic propa- ganda campaign, union spokesmen said, on the companies part which was high- lighted by a Fisheries Associa- tion bulletin to ‘‘plant managers’’ which was being distributed along the coast a few hours before bargaining sessions ended in Vancouver July 3. This was an effort to stampede the vote and discredit the union-Brotherhood nego- tiating committee, the union men maintained. At a press conference last Wednesday, president Homer Stevens was asked about the Fisheries Association threat to impose higher prices on the consumer. He replied that there is no reason consumer prices should be raised as a result of moderate increases to fisher- men. “Net fishermen will be getting a minimum .31 cents a pound for coho this year. Yet you and I pay as much as $1.69 a pound for fresh, frozen coho salmon in the stores. ‘‘There’s just no relation between prices to the fishermen and that sort of gouging. What it reflects it the total ownership and control that an empire like Westons, the parent of B.C. Packers and other fishing companies exercises all the way from the fisherman at the point of production right up to the supermarket shelf. . .”’ Classified advertising — COMING EVENTS WANTED JULY 18-YCL BARBEQUE WANTED — MOTORIZED & OUTDOOR FEAST.
