TEN DAYS.

In agreeing to recommend
acceptance, the executive was
influenced by the fact that the
largest union in the province,
the International Woodwork-
ers of America, had recently
settled for a wage increase of
7% percent. They were also
concerned with the fact that
they might lose considerable
public support if they struck
after the government had in-
creased its wage offer from
six to 7% percent and agrecd
to be bound by the recom-
mendations of Sloan in res-
pect to bargaining procedures
in the future. In actual fact,
they would have been in a dif-
ficult position if they had
gone against the advice of
the three Labor Congress ad-
visers.

Thus ended Ten Days That
Shook B.C. After 14 years of
fighting for bargaining rights,
British Columbia’s public serv-
ants, with a 90 percent strike
vote in their pocket and the
pledged support of united

labor across Canada, forced an
arrogant, high-handed govern-
ment to come to terms. This
was an outstanding victory for

united labor, a victory that ~

for the first time, and tn a
big way, exposed the anti-
labor bias of the Bennett ad-
ministration.

“But what if the Sloan find-
ings prove to be inadequate?
The Provincial answers that
question in this way:

“We should not anticipate
such a tragedy, but neither
should we blindly anticipate
complete success. Our new-
found-strength must therefore
be retained _.. We must main-
tain the will and the organiza-
tion to renew our all-out battle
with our employer if it again
becomes necessary to resort} to
strike action. Some patience
and cold realism are equally
essential.”

Yes, those ten days did
shake British Columbia, be-
cause they demonstrated the
great power of a united labor
movement in action!’

writes complaining about
the high cost of living for
horse followers. “Not only do
I have to shell out a buck
two-bits to get into Randall’s
outdoor roulette game, but
soon the Pacific National Ex-
hibition will clip me for an
extra half-buck just to walk
through their grounds on my
way to the track,’ he writes.
“Can't you do something to
get free PNE passes for guys
like me?”

Sorry, son but passes have
always been, hard to corral. In
the first sports column I wrote
for this paper six years ago I
mentioned a sign that hangs
in the front office of Madison
Square Garden in New York.
“There were no passes even
then . . consult the Scrip-
tures,” it reads, and quotes
the following: anti-pass ad-
ages:

“Thou shalt not pass . .”
(Numbers XX, 18); “Though
they roar, yet they cannot pass
-.-” (Jeremiah I, 22); “Suffer
not a man to pass...” (Judges
Ill, 28); “The wicked shall no
more pass...” (Nahum I, 15);
“None shali pass’... ” (Isaiah
AAAILY, 10); “This genera-:

tion shall not pass...” (Mark
XIII, 30); “Beware that thou
pass not...” (2nd Kings Vi,
19); “There shall no stranger
pass' 3 Amos i 47);
“Neither any sen of man pass

.’ (Jeremiah WH, 43); “No
man may pass through be-
cause of the beasts...” (Eze-
keil XIV, 15); “So he paid the
fare thereof and went .. .”
(Jonah I, 3).

Speaking for a moment of
Italian girls (ah, che belle

donne!) have you noticed ‘that
since Mussolini was strung up
by the heels the women. of
Italy have deserted the kitchen
for the playing fields of Rome?

While most Italian men still
prefer the well-thrown hip to
the well-thrown discus, the
gals have taken up sports and
are fast proving to the world
that feminine athletes can (in
the words of Susan Noel) con-
tinue to look like Gina while
performing like Zybina.

Two Italian tennis stars
worth watching aye Lea Per}-
cola and Sylvana Lazzarino,
both of whom have played at
Wimbledon (where Lea did a
Gussie Moran and wore fril-
lies).
