Last week 500 men were lai

Effie Jones to lead
transit cut protest

Effie Jones, aldermanic candi-
date in the coming civic elections
December 9, will lead a delega-
tion before city utilities commit-
tee at Vancouver City Hall this
coming Monday, November 23, at
10.15 a.m., to demand “immedi-
ate action” on B.C. Electric cut-
backs in transit service.

“A week ago when | appeared
before this committee, aldermen
agreed that the service was de-

Plorable and promised to do some-
thing,” said Mrs. Jones. “The
Civic Reform Association brief

which | presented at that time
was referred to the transit com-
mittee for action, But not a
thing has been done since then
to force the BCER to give better

service.”

What is required is a clear-cut

decision by city council to de-
mand that the BCER live up to
its contract to provide “adequate”
service, Mrs. Jones continued. a |
hope that other organizations and
interested individuals will make
their own representations this

coming Monday.”

couver and, Port Alberni. Lay-
offs have taken place all through
the plywood industry in recent
weeks and several large mills
have adopted a four-day work
week.

In announcing the big cuts—
the curtailment was the first in
20 years in the expanding ply-
wood industry in B.C.—MacMil-
lan and Bloedel officials blamed
dropping markets on the prairies.
Farmers in Manitoba, Saskatch-
ewan and Alberta normally buy
large amounts of plywood at this
time of the year, but are now
without purchasing power be-
cause of Ottawa’s failure to dis-
pose of a bumper wheat crop.
IWA local 1-217 held a meet-
ing to discuss the layoffs at Van-
couver Plywoods and went on re-
cord demanding implementation

y A

face of mounting. layoffs in the* lumber industry, CIO International
has called on the federal government to immediately launch
bsidized housing program of 750,000 units’ to help beat

d off by MacMillan and Bloedel in mills in Van-

of the huge housing scheme.
“The opinion of our member-
ship is that if money could be
found for large-scale warfare . .
then necessary finances can be
found to institute a housing pro-
gram,” said the resolution.

Alberni District Joint Labor
Council this week endorsed a re-
solution urging government action

to win new overseas markets.

Other signs that the bloom is
off the boom in B.C, are seen in
layoffs in coal mining (Michel
local of the UMW is proposing a
coal lobby to Ottawa); the layoff
of 350 smelter workers at Trail;
shutdown of gold mines; crisis in
shipbuilding; shrinkage of Can-
ada’s merchant marine; and grow-
ing unemployment in longshoring,
particularly drastic among grain
liners.
