He said the very sharp- ness of the struggle inherent in present conditions had brought home to the people the need for a worker’s press, a Communist press. He presented long-time editor of the Tribune Tom McEwen with a new book on the life of Georgi Dimitrov, who was a co-' worker of Tom’s in the world Communist movement. A most noteworthy fact is that in attendance at the victory banquet were two charter members of the Communist Party of B.C. — both of them close to a century young and both of them turning in $100 each for the drive! These two comrades were Julius Stelp and Bert Padgham and long may they thrive! Bill Kashtan pointed out this year was the 50th anniversary of the working class press in Canada, and that through good times and difficult times it had stayed alive. Speaking of events in Quebec, Kashtan said a spark had taken hold of the workers, and during the recent strikes the working people had taken over briefly two plants, and some 40 radio and T.V. stations in the prov- ince. When a boss tried to enter one of the plants, and demanded ~ to know by whose authority he was stopped at the gate he was told ‘‘You are stopped by the authority of the workers of Quebec.” The ruling class of the USA has had to modify its position and accept some rorm Ot CO-€X1S- tence with the socialist world. It has had to accept parity In nuclear arms and is no longer superior over socialism in equality of security, Kashtan said. The world is in a process of change, and despite Nixon’s efforts to stop the change, he will QUOTAS ACH 750-752 600 701 400 224 600 775 800 959 200 366 250 250 650 688 350 308 400 256 1200 1,363 450 291 900 1,620 650 674 475 479 875 1,188 9925 10,894 100 110 50 66 250 379 100 100 350 516 350 758 550 956 1050 572 2800 3,457 faller at Butler CLUB VAN.

The forces of peace-: ful co-existence are winning and the victories are irrevocable, he concluded.

Harry Allison, .of the Fish- ermen’s union, was the winner of the Toyota, top prize in the con- test. Pioneer labor editor mourned _ J.M. (Jack) Clark, a pioneer union organizer and labor editor and a charter member of the Communist Party of Canada, died in a New Westminster hos- pital on June 9th after a lengthy illness. He was 82 years of age. In 1917 he was on the initiating committee that founded the B.C: Loggers’ Union. When this union expanded to national status as the Lumber Workers’ Industrial Union of Canada, Clark became its field organizer and then national secretary. In this posi- tion he was an important mover ‘behind the founding of One Big Union (OBU) in 1919 and a co- worker of such west coast labor notables as Jack Kavanaugh, H.M. Bartholomew and Bill Pritchard. When the divisive nature of the OBU became clear, he threw his support behind Tim Buck’s efforts to unify and revit- ‘alize the union movement, and ‘oined Buck and others in founding the Communist Party. In 1927 Clark left Vancouver for Saskatoon as editor of “The Furrow,”’ official newspaper of the Farmers’ Unity League. While there he helped draft, to- gether with Leslie Morris, the Communist Party’s agrarian policy. In the early 1930’s Clark, along ‘with another notable Vancouver left-winger, (William (OV Bill) Bennett, went to India for the Red International of Labor Unions to help in the organizing of Indian trade unions. After some months of undercover work he and Bennett were ar- rested by the British security police, imprisoned and then deported. He was back in Canada by 1934, again as the editor of “The Furrow.” In 1936 he became editor of the “Weekly Clarion’ in Toronto, and continued as editor until the paper was closed down under the War Measures Act.
