The unions are seeking a 35-cent hourly wage boost. Socred farm policies ruinous, Morgan states WHALLEY, B.C. A strong appeal to “the entire labor movement, and especially the trade unions” to campaign vigorously to ensure that labor holds and increases its strength in the legislature was made by Nigel Morgen, LPP provincial leader, at the party’s annual Lelta constituency picnic at Bear Creek Park in Surrey on Sunday afternoon this week. At a_ public nominating meeting held in conjunction with the picnic, Mrs. Evelyn Burnell of Fort Langley and Frank Gaspar, well known berry and vegetable grower of Abbotsford were chosen as LPF candidates for Delta in the September 19 elections. Stressing the importance of united labor action, Morgan said: “Any‘ advantage the people of B.C. enjcy over other prov- inces in higher living stan- dards and better social legis- jation is due to the fact that labor has been a powerful force on provincial politics,for the past 20 years. “Reaction aims in this elec- tion to eliminate labor’s in- jluence. Unity is essential if we are to defeat this effort. Hitting out at opponents of labor unity, Morgan said that “those who say that LPP sup- port is unsought, unwanted and rejected” will be taken care of by history, if not by their own supporters, when this election is over. o r] “This election is an emer- gency for the whole labor movement — the CCF and our- selves and all progressive workers and farmeys,” the UPP leader continued. “Nar- row, partisan attitudes can only weaken and dishearten epposition to Premier Ben- nett’s anti-labor, anti-Can- adian policies. Nothing short of unity will make it possible to move ahead and win the cust demands of labor, the farmers, the pensioners and ratepayers.” Morgan denounced Socred farm policy, charging that tailure to give urgently- needed aid to agriculture is having disastrous results. “Hundreds of farmers are going breke, caught in the squeeze between mounting production costs, higher freight rates and falling cash incomes,” he charged. “Ben- nett and Kiernan have turned a deaf ear to calls for help. Farmers should remember this on election day, and unite at the polls with labor to elect genuine representatives of the people who will compel the government to put the people’s interests first.” Reminding the _ audience that the Social Credit govern- ment has given “little, if any LABOR DAY GREETINGS LABOR DAY GREETINGS from aid in replanting winter-kill- | Al .
