Original demands .of the union for 25 cents across the board have been lowered to 10 cents an hour for journeymen and 5 percent for all others. On the remaining points of dis- pute, however, the union appears to be remaining firm. It demands the usual overtime rate of time and a half for the first four hours and double time thereafter. The companies, on the other hand, want the men to work Saturdays at straight time. Also, the union wants to main- tain the April 1st contract dead- line while the company wants it changed to July 1 with no retro- active pay to April. OVALTINE CAFE 251 EAST HASTINGS Vancouver, B.C.

Refer to capitalists in the West, he said: “We want to do away with them, bu don’t want to kick them. They will be kicked down by their workers in ti He was speaking during a visit to the International Mineworke Congress at Sosnowiec, in southern Poland, on the third day of his goodW visit to that country. “The next war would be a cal- amity to humanity and that is why they (the capitalists) are going to be wise and will not begin a war,” he said. He gave details of the great changes being carried out. under the Soviet Seven-Year Plan, and forecast that the time would come when the capitalists would be afraid of exchanging experiences and visitors with Socialist countries. “They will be afraid of other people coming to our country,” he said. The iron curtain was not sep- arating the Soviet Union from the capitalist countries, but was separ- ating the capitalist countries from the Soviet Union. “They are beginning even now to be more afraid of us than we are of them. We do not refuse a single visa to anybody, but they (the Americans) refused visas to our chess players.” He said there was still bureau- cracy and red tape in the Soviet Union, and compared it with a pimple on a man’s face: “If there is a pimple, it does not mean that the man is no good at all.” Some people interpreted refer- ences to Communism being the “erave-digger” for ‘capitalism in a literal fashion, he said. “I did not mean it diterally, that we are going to take a shovel and dig capitalism’s grave,” he pointed out. b “Tt means only that the whole development of society shows that the future belongs to Communism, and capitalism will have to remove itself.” He added: “But it will never do ti voluntarily. It will be done in struggle, and the working win the struggle. I believe in! just’as in the fact that the rise tomorrow.” Four veteran LPP member sponsor successful social Sponsored by four veteran mem- bers of the East End and Strath- cona clubs of the Labor-Progress- ive Party, a fine banquet and social evening brought together nearly 150 guests last Saturday evening at the AUUC hall here. Old-time veteran sponsors of the banquet on behalf of their clubs were Alex Sholdra, Bill Stefiuk, Sam Palomar and John Chyborak, each of whom spoke briefly of their long association with the Com- munist movement in Canada, and the great service the Labor-Pro- gressive Party renders in giving political leadership in past and pre- sent working class struggles, and for the advancement of a socialist Canada. Tom McEwen, editor of the Pacific Tribune also spoke briefly at the gathering and appealed to the assembled guests to help fin- ance the’ party’s activities, and to join its ranks in active member- ship. A telegram of greeting to banquet guests from Nigel Morgan, provincial leader of the LPP, was warmly received.‘ John Chitrenky acted as MC for the joint club ba quet ceremonies. Close to $400 ws added to the LPP national fund in the collection which lowed, and which McEwen cribed as “a great tribute to fine work of the two clubs in’ in this effort.” Kay Tuchuk, “popular girl” choice of the two clubs for “Mis Labor” at the Farmer-Labor Picait at Bear Creek Park on August 9 was also introduced to the banquet and acclaimed a “likely winner.” — Floorlayers strike nine local firms Nine Vancouver firms were hil Monday this week by a strike the Floorlayers Union.
