tain Miners Union; Local |, VERYBODY knows the nursery story of the goose that laid the golden eggs. We could do with a few of THOSE eggs to help put the Pacific Tribune $15,000 fighting fund drive over the top. But in Canadian slang, a goose egg is a zero on the scoreboard. And that’s the kind of goose eggs we've got too many of. Take a look at the financial scoreboard alongside, and if your club or organiza- tion is one of the “nils’’ please DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT... BUT FAST! * Trade unions and other mass organizations are beginning to send in donations to the drive. Cheques have been received from Local 649, Copper Moun- Marine Workers and Boilermakers, Vancouver; Albion Local 44, United Fishermen's Federal Union; and a Vancouver local of the Plasterers Union. Contributions have also come in from the Vancouver branch of the Associa- tion of United. Ukrainian Canadians; Federation of Russian Canadians, Steveston branch; Swedish Fin- nish Workers Club, Vancouver; and the Lithuanian Literary Society, Vancouver. Has YOUR union made a donation yet? Has the question been raised on the floor? Have you discussed the Pacific Tribune drive in your mass Organization? * | Challenges are flying back and forth.

We hope thas at least half of these will be trade union leaders; ishermen, seamen, boilermakers, miners. Progres- Sive union leaders know what a valuable ally the PT 's in strike struggles and we are confident they Will make substantial personal donations to the fund, Qs well as assisting the drive in other ways. * Some of the contributions received in our office -tepresent real sacrifices on the part of supporters. tleast two old age pensioners have become Press Builders.
