Frank Kennedy, of the Long- shoremen’s Union, reported that the main issue which has brought work to a standstill on the docks was a fair distribution of labor to the members of the union. Longshoremen have voted in six west coast ports some 91.3 percent in favor of strike action, but negotiations are continuing. At the moment only the Van- couver port is involved in the dispute concerning company hiring practises.

Boilermakers uniot, ‘Jim has Morgan answers Barrett, urges defeat of Socreds An appeal to labor and demo- cratic forces to exert every effort to defeat the Bennett government, and replace it with an administration that will put peoples needs before corporate profits was the main thrust of a speech to 350 happy picnickers Sunday afternoon in Surrey by Nigel Morgan, provincial leader of the Communist Party. Criticizing NDP leader, Dave Barrett’s earlier press state- ments that the ‘‘NDP did not want Communist _ votes,’’ Morgan appealed to his sup- porters ‘‘not to be provoked by such childish outbursts into throwing away their ballots in those constituencies where the Communist Party is not nominating. The way that man talks sometimes you would think he really didn’t want to win.” After what the Socreds, and Liberals and Tories before them, have done to the great majority of the people of this province, there is no alternative to electing a majority of NDP’ers and Communists on August 30th,’ Morgan declared. Morgan said the Communists have differences with the NDP on long range and immediate issues.’’ We have never hesi- tated to state our differences. We are for repeal of the sales. tax; Barrett says the NDP is not.” He said leading spokesmen of the NDP equivocate on basic issues, They are afraid to Communist candidates Cont'd from pg. 1 native son, has devoted his adult life to the furthering of the interests of the working people in his community, his province and the nation at large. His running mate _ in Vancouver East is Barry Dean. Barry has worked as a farm hand, in the woods, on railroad construction and _ building construction sites. Today he is employed in a. Vancouver shipyard and is a member of the Marine and Boilermakers Union. Being a young worker and having himself been unemployed at times, he feels the main issue in this election is to provide adequate jobs or income for every British Columbian. He says ‘‘the most progres- sive decision the youth of this province can make and the only way to a life with a future in B.C. is to help oust the Bennett government!” Homer Stevens, candidate in Little Mountain constituericy along with Jim Beynon, has played a prominent role in the labor movement in B.C. for 25: years. He was a commercial fisherman from his early youth until 1946 when he became organizer for the United Fisher- men and Allied Workers union. In 1948 he was elected secretary- treasurer of the union, a position he held until chosen as president in 1971. A victim of B.C. Socred’s vicious anti-labor laws himself, Homer can be depended on to fight for the repeal of compulsory arbitration (Bill 33) and to outlaw the use of injunc- tions in labor disputes. He has a wide knowledge of B.C. politics, particularly in regard to the use of our natural resources, the development of job-producing secondary indus- tries. He is a strong and articu- late advocate of labor rights and people’s needs in the fields of education, pensions and social welfare. , At 49 years of age, he is married and has one daughter and three sons, all of whom are working in the fishing industry. Jim Beynon is another young man who has spent his life from an early age in the fight for a better life for B.C. working people. Presently employed in the shipyards where he takes an active part in the Marine and_ beeh a ‘shoreworker ‘in’ the fishing industry, a student, « peace worker and _ union organizer. His special interest is the fight for a ship building program on the coast which would give employment to thou- sands of young people. Soft spoken and with a sense of humor, Jim Beynon typifies that section of the young generation who know that if there is going to be a decent future for youth, it has to be fought for. In Surrey, Communist party candidate Fred Bianco has had a wealth of experience in farming, as a miner, and at his present job as a welder-fitter in the shipyards. He is particularly interested in the problems which face the market gardeners and dairymen in the Delta area, and is working towards united action of farmer and labor to fight for a better deal for the farmers who have been placed in an untenable position by Social Credit indifference to their rneeds. Fred Bianco was with the RCAF during the second world war and is now a member of the Delta Sportsman Flying Club. The Communist Party is proud to put forward these five candi- dates who represent the working people of this province. Unlike the NDP, which denies it ever was, or ever will be, the party of labor, the Communist Party has dedicated its policies to the interests of working people. The candidates, all of them, have fought the day-to-day battle to improve working and social conditions in B.C. and will continue the fight until we win a socialist future. identify with labor’s struggles sand downgrade the. 1¢eds and demands of the trade union move- ment “For example, here is their main piece of election material and you can’t find a line in it about B.C.’s anti-labor laws — not even the word ‘labor’! “Communist MLA’s are needed in Victoria who will take a forthright stand in defence of See MORGAN, pg. 8 Oust Socreds youth urged By DANNY PALMER At a meeting in the Fisher- men’s hall Monday evening the Communist Party youth candi- date in Vancouver East, Barry Dean, called for the ousting of the Bennett government on August 30. ‘‘The most progres- sive decision youth can make is to work and vote to that end,”’ he said. “‘It is the only way to secure a life with a future in Bo The meeting was the first major public event to introduce the two Communist Party youth candidates, Barry Dean and Jim Beynon, the latter running in Little Mountain constituency. The candidates felt that by bringing the issues to the young people of B.C. they will come to realize the only party that puts forward a program ‘‘which not only hits hard at present issues and problems but advances a broad policy for the future,”’ is the Communist party. Jim Beynon said _ un- employment, inadequate educa- tional opportunities, and Ameri- can monopoly domination of our forests: and other natural resources are issues which directly affect youth, and he put forward the party program as an alternative. Of particular interest was the answer to the question, ‘‘how does the C.P. propose to pay for all these benefits?’’ It was correctly pointed out by the candidates that sales and con- sumer taxes are already too high, and that the Communist Party would repeal the sales tax ‘and foist the burden on the monopolists who extract so much wealth out of the province in the form of unprocessed material. The consensus of the audience was that it is time the Bennett government should go down to a well-earned defeat. They wanted a change.
