Sullivan mines. Mine-Mill officials charge that Consolidated is trying to establish the principle of a lower wage scale for small mines as a part of the Mining Association’s drive against wage standards . The strikers have the backing of the two largest B.C. Mine-Mill locals — 480 and 651 at Trail and Kimberley. These big locals have just signed a new contract with the Consolidated providing for an average five cents an hour wage hike and added fringe benefits. The strikers have dug in for a long struggle — they have elected a large strike committee including eight of the men’s wives; a coffee shop has been taken over for strike headquarters; a twice daily strike bulletin is, being issued. A large relief committee is functioning and the union is buy- ing food and meats wholesale. A new Ladies’ Auxiliary has been formed with a membership of 44. Eight women are on the strike committee and some are doing picket line, as well as doing much other voluntary work including office work. : Whaling fleet expects 1954 to be record year This is going to be a record year for the whaling fleet off the B.C. coast.

Kostyk ‘All of us must speak up’ Peace Congress issues ‘safeguard peace’ call TORONTO While U.S. officials announced that H-Bomb tests will continue ‘indefinitely, the Canadian Peace Congress issued a call for ‘all of us to perform a good stint t0 safeguard peace this summer.’ ’ Almost simultaneously, Canada withdrew its delegation from the Geneva conference, and John Foster Dulles refused the pleas of Britain and France to return to Geneva and seek agreement on peace in Indochina. In Europe meanwhile, West Ger- man Chancellor Adenauer made a ‘speech threatening to France and the British and U.S. Foreign Of- fices began to plan how to remili- tarize West Germany without France. It was following a study of the critical world scene that the ex- ecutive of the Peace Congress is- sued what was described as a “policy statement,” signed by vice- president Mrs. Eva’ Sanderson and acting secretary Bruce Mickle- burgh. cae te The statement noted that an ex- traordinary session of the World Council of Peace had pointed to “fresh reasons for anxiety’ and called for an answering “pressure of public opinion.” On how to achieve this, the Con- gress offered a number of pro- posals adapted to the conditions of summertime: “Much can be done in these summer weeks by visiting MPs; by peace picnics, by letters and resolutions, and by donations to underwrite the success of the work for peace.” . : The statement emphasized these suggestions by pointing out that, “Time is on our side if we use it.” The statement took a grave view of the hydrogen bomb: “It is ex- tremely urgent that international agreement should be reached not to test or use the hydrogen bomb.” The off-the-record disarmament talks between Canada, Britain, the Soviet Union and the United States held recently in London failed to reach agreement. There is no re- cord of Canada having submitted any proposal. This five - power ‘group is shortly to report to the full UN Disarmament Commission, where once again there will be a chance to break the atomic dead- lock. - On this, the Peace Congress state- ment commented: “The diplomats failed to reach agreement in Lon- BRUCE MICKLEBURGH don. They are soon to meet again. They need to hear the voice of every mother and father, of every responsible organization and pub- lic representative.” Mrs. Sanderson and Mickleburgh sounded a serious warning. “Sig- nificant decisions will soon be made,” they said. “There is a de- bate in high places on whether to launch a preventive war now. The pressure against negotiated solu- tions has become more reckless. The extent to which the public speaks up will determine the out- come, as it has several times in the laste few years.” The statement then tackled ‘a number of outstanding issues point by point as follows: Indochina: “Our government should exert all possible influence for a cease-fire in Indochina to end a situation which daily threatens to erupt into a war fought with hydrogen bombs.” ‘ China: “Our governnient should no longer tolerate the dangerous farce of pretending that a reject ed despot on an island behind 4 foreign fleet represents the great est nation.on earth.
