Source of the charges is Tunnel

for the contractors and sub-
contractors, The contents ofthis
ten year pact were never rati-
fied by either the executive board
or the membership of Local 168,
Many other localsareina similar
situation,

In many cases there are
charges of intimidation by Inter-
national Representatives in order
to get membership agreement,
An example to all was the trans-
fer of jurisdiction from the 4,500
member Local 115 of the Oper-
ating Engineers to the 30 member
Local 858, made up of stationary
engineers,

Another objection raised by the
Tunnel and Rock Workers is that
the recently signed agreement
with the Heavy Construction
Association which won sub-
stantial gains are not entirely
being agreed to on the Peace and
Columbia Projects,

The opinion of Local 168 is
that all gains achieved in their
standard agreement would auto-
matically apply on the Peace and
Columbia,

Because of the grievances over
blacklisting and contracts Local
168 of the Tunnel and Rock Wor-
kers has called for re-negotiation
of the Peace and Columbia River
Project agreements, and has
asked for as much support as it
can get from the other union
executives and membership,

OBITUARY

DON McINTOSH
Readers of the PT will be
saddened by the news that Don
McIntosh of North Vancouver,
passed away Thursday, July 22
after a long illness,

Only in his early fifty’s, Don
had suffered for the last five
years fram a lung ailment, He
was active in the progressive
youth. movement in the early
thirty’s, and remained a life-
long supporter of the labor
movement and the progressive
press,

Funeral services were held
last Saturday at the Hamilton
Funeral Home on Fraser, He
is survived by a sister and two
brothers in Vancouver,

the need for disarmament and for
elimination of the vestiges of the
Second World War and for Euro-
pean security.

The Congress warned that the
world situation is grave, It de-
clared that the political and mili-
tary leaders of the United States
have entered upon a policy of
armed aggression and military
adventures, as in Vietnam, Santo
Domingo and the Congo,

The spearhead ofthe imperial-
ist attack is in Southeast Asia,
where American forces have un-
leashed aggression against the
people of South Vietnam, accord-
ing to the Congress,

The Congress stressed the im=
portance and the support that all
the peoples of the world should
give to the Vietnamese people’s
struggle for independence, unity
and peace and against American
aggression, -

In Africa, in the Middle East
and Latin American countries,
the colonialists’ oppression and
machinations of neo-colonialists
and imperialists are increasing,
it declared,

In Europe, the situation is
tense, it added, as aconsequence
of rearmament instigated by
NATO,

In this world situation, it was
emphasized, it is more and more
necessary to ban nuclear weap-

Viet
ons. Every nuclear power, it
said, must officially declare that

it will never be the first to use
nuclear weapons,

It backed proposals for aworld
conference of heads of state and
governments on this problem,

The Congress called on all
peoples* to demand that their
governments take action to iso-
late American imperialism and
stop its aggression, to support
the struggle of the peoples against
colonialism, and for national in-
dependence, to support the
struggle of peoples for indepen-
dence, freedom and economic and
social development, in opposition
to neo-colonialism and exploita-
tion,

It called on all peoples to take
action to stop the arms race and
obtain concrete measures ofdis-
armament, to demand dismantl-
ing of military bases and the
withdrawal -of troops stationed
on foreign soil, and concrete
measures for world security and
the peaceful settlement of issues
in dispute,

Contrary to news reports in
western countries, there was
never any sign that the Chinese
delegation intended to walk out,
and its members applauded the
Passing of the resolution on Viet-
nam as vigorousty as the rest
