A measure of the es- teem in which she is held are _ the scores of greetings and gifts she has received since then from all over Canada as well as other countries. A letter of greetings from William Kashtan, on be- half of the national executive committee of the Communist Party, read in part: “Your entire adult life has ‘Been dedicated to the most not- able of causes — the cause of . , democracy and socialism, and to the Communist Party which you hold so dear. At all times you have been a battler, an agitator in the service of the working class, firm in your principles, unflinching before difficulties. You are indeed part of the history of the working class of our country. Sketch of Annie Buller by Avrom Yanovsky “Our party has good cause to take pride in you, Annie. We wish you many, many years of good health and fruitful work for our common cause.” On the evening of Dec. 19 some 250 persons, representing diverse sections of the labor and progressive movement, came to a party in the Morris Winchev- sky Centre jn‘Toronto, to honor Annie Buller. Present also were several persons from Hamilton and Montreal. The program in- cluded a number of musical items, greetings and presenta- tions by several speakers and reminiscences by Annie Buller steam makers By W. REPKA DO have to admit that the boys were completely un- reasonable the way they talked to the heating boss. They were nasty, boorish, and seem- ed, to the unknowing eye, to go out of their way to insult him. And heat? Why there was more heat on that fourth floor in that five minutes than there had been in the last three years — or at least since they put in the automated heating plant. The boss had gone out of his way, many times, to explain, in great and painstaking detail, why the temperature was be- tween 62 degrees. and 65 de- grees on a cold morning. And he was very pleasant about it. And when the men had to wear heavy woolen mittens, ear muffs and some _ beefed-up ‘longies’ to keep body and soul together, especially on Monday mornings — why he could ex- plain away the cold radiators in the most convincing way. The man would stand around spellbound (and shivering) as he would go into a veritable galaxy of gadgetry and thermostats and pipes — to say nothing of a mountain of insurmountable hu- man obstacles, It all made good sense too. You can’t go blowing away the company profits on unnecessary steam. And he was nice about it. Talking about steam, how- ever, there are some subversive agitators up on the fourth floor, and one of them, with clear cut instructions from you-know- where, suggested a grievance. It was-duly signed by all, in- cluding the girl who later went home because it was too cold to work. Well, of course, the boss in charge of the heating came up to explain what the trouble was: “You see,” he said in his most friendy | and affable fashion, pal Ege aes “Never mind your said one man. alibis,” “We want ‘steam in -those pipes,” said another. With a smile, and an embar- rassed toss of his head, the boss said, “Well, I was going to tell VOUS sso “Never mind the excuses. We want heat.” And that was the way it went. And then there was some shout- ing. And some “Shut-ups.” Real melodrama! Really nasty, too! The boss went downstairs in complete disgust. To make a long story short— things hung in the balance for a while. We haven’t a complete an- swer to our grievance yet.
