Pioneer wood
organizer dies

Arne Johnson, pioneer loggers’
union organizer and one of the
founders of the present-day
International Woodworkers of
America, died Sunday at his
home in Sointula. He was 76
years of age.

Born in Kungsberg, Norway,
Johnson emigrated to Canada in
1912. After a short experience
with farming in Saskatchewan

‘he came out to B.C. where he

went to work as a faller in coast
logging camps and shortly
joined the original B.C. Log-
gers’ Union. In 1929 he was one
of a handful of men — among
them Andy Haugaard and Jack
Gillbanks— who set out to organ-
ize the Lumber Workers’ Indus-
trial Union, which later became
the B.C. District of the IWA.

In 1948 he settled in Sointula
with his family and returned to
the woods as a faller. He con-
tinued to be active in union
affairs and for several years
was the chief job steward and
IWA sub-local chairman for the
big Alaska Pine logging opera-
tion at Port McNeill. He left the
woods for the last time in the
late 1950s and spent the years of
his retirement at Sointula.

His pioneering work in an-
industry where unionism was
bitterly resisted by the owners
won him a place in the record
book of B.C. labor history.
Equally important, his staunch-
ness, fighting spirit and devo-
tion to working class principles
won him the respect and admira-
tion of large numbers of men and
women who worked with him.

Surviving are his wife Anne, a
son Eddie, a brother in Saskat-
chewan and a sister in Norway.

RECOGNIZE GDR

people.’’ He predicted that recog-
nition would be followed by a big
increase in trade ‘‘which would
bring new business and much
needed jobs for a Canadian
economy in need of such a
stimulus.”

Swankey also stressed that
Canadian recognition of the
GDR would hasten a trend toa
new era of peace in Europe that
is already underway.

“That process includes the
acceptance of present boun-
daries,’’ he declared, ‘‘the
abandonment of plans by
extreme rightist circles in West
Germany for over-running the
GDR by force, and the gradual
easing of tensions. The conven-
ing of a European Security Con-
ference, which Canada has
already endorsed, will marka
historic step to peace in Europe.
For the first time in almost 60
years we have a generation of
Canadians that has not been
compelled to go to war in
Europe. Let’s do all we can to
keep it that way.”

Swankey made his remarks
during the course of a slide
showing of pictures taken by him
during a five week family
holiday trip to.the GDR this last
summer.

He noted also that the move-
ment for recognition of the GDR
is gaining public support and now
includes the 1.7 million member
Canadian Labor Congress and
many public personalities. He
invited anyone interested in
promoting recognition to join
the committee by getting in
touch with its secretary, Mrs.
Elsa Dill, 976 Railway Avenue,

Richmond, phone 277-1915." "~~

Waugh says Liberals
have sunk to new low

Commenting on the latest un-
employment figures released
this week, Eric Waugh, Com-
munist Party candidate in Burn-
aby-Seymour, said the only
policy Trudeau’s Liberal govern-
ment has earried through with
any degree of success has been
their vow to create unem-
ployment to ‘‘curb”’ inflation.

‘The trouble is,’’ Waugh said,
“inflation is still with us and
growing, but the unemployment
angle worked!”’

‘‘Now the Liberals are sinking
to a new low in attacking the
unemployed and_ so-called
freeloaders. While they hand out
millions of dollars of taxpayers
money to rich corporations to
subsidize the economic rape of

» Canada, and hire over a hundred

UIC “investigators”’ to
witchhunt the unemployed,
more and more workers join the
ranks of the jobless.”

Waugh pointed out that B.C.
has one of the highest-unem-
ployment rates in Canada. “‘We
need jobs, not a fuddle-duddle

copper concentrates. etc.. we
could build a steel mill. and
smelters for iron and copper
ore; we could build a petro-
chemical industry. . .”

Waugh, as a shipyard worker.
said the Liberals might recall a
promise of theirs to maintain
and expand the merchant fleet to
‘‘take the Canadian flag and
goods to the ends of the earth.”

He added dryly that broken prom-

ises don’t build merchant fleets
but that a crown corporation
could.

The Communist Party pro-
gram calls for such crown
corporations. Eric Waugh said:
“The basis of an economically
strong and independent Canada
is industry owned and controlled
by the Canadian people: the
nationalization of the giant
corporations, and the launching
of a program to build publicly-
owned and controlled secondary
industries to utilize raw mater-
ials in Canada.”
