[ _TED HARRIS 757 East Hastings St. Vancouver 4. B.C. Painters’ and Poperhangers’ Supplies Sunworthy Wallpaper Reg. 45c—Now 19c a Roll yt ye *¢ An examp Iie alle By Tom McEwen One of British Columbia’s most loved and respected veteran trade union leaders passed away Tuesday of last week in his 78th year, Charles McGregor Stewart; to the thousands who loved him with a deep affection, just plain ‘Charlie’ Stewart. Death came at the end of over three long years of enforced inactivity brought on by a series of recurrent strokes, a heavy burden in itself for an active man of Charlie Stewart's indomitable calibre to bear. Born in Dundee, Scotland in July of 1891 Charlie emigrated to Canada in 1908 when still a youth of 17 years. With the exception of two years in Butte, Montana in the copper mines and two years as a railway worker in Saskatoon, Sask., Charlie spent the rest of his lifetime in his chosen city of Vancouver. In Butte, Montana, he and his beloved bride Annie Stewart (who also in her own right has written a brilliant page in British Columbia’s labor history during the crisis years of the 30’s and 40’s) experienced the ruthless terror of the copper barons, since Charlie was also a working organizer in the Western Federation of Miners in the stormy days when company thugs and gunmen and the cold- blooded murder of militant hardrock miners was the answer of the copper barons to trade union organization and collective bargaining. Charlie Stewart was one of the pall bearers at the mass funeral of the hardrock miner organizer, the murdered Frank Little. Returning to Vancouver from Butte, Charlie and Annie Stewart made their permanent home here, raised their little family in the finest tradition of union- minded sons and daughter, and here in this city began a life of dedication and service to the advancement of their fellow workers. For over 35-years Charlie Stewart served as an executive member of Division 101 of the Street Railwaymens Union. as union business agent, and as union delegate to the Vancouver Labour Council, Reelected repeatedly, Charlie served on the VLC for over 25-years, often in an executive capacity. At the international conventions of his union and successive conventions of the old Trades and Labor Congress of Canada, the strong voice and appeal] of Charlie Stewart was often heard on behalf of his fellow Canadians, organized and unorganized. For well over 40-years Charlie Stewart was an _ honoured member of the Communist Party of’ Canada, serving- devotedly on many of its committees in executive capacity, and for many years was provincial chairman of the Party in B.C. At the time he was stricken with illness which eventually took him from our midst, Charlie Stewart was the Surrey organizer of the party. At his funeral services held on August 23 in Vancouver and conducted by Communist Party provincial leader Nigel Morgan, a fitting tribute was paid to the ‘life and work of Comrade Charlie Stewart; to his great devotion to the cause of Socialism and the working class of his own and other countries, and above all to the sterling devotion and integrity which were the outstanding characteristics of this. beloved veteran of B.C. trade union and Communist struggle. At the funeral service a few of the songs Charlie loved were rendered with deep feeling, with the immortal music of Joe Hill’s ‘‘Man Who Never Died’ reminding all present that in their own hearts and minds the memory of the beloved fellowship and comradeship of the man that was our dearly loved Charlie Stewart, shall also never die. The sorrow of his beloved wife Annie and his family is shared by all who were honoured with his warm friendship, while the Communist movement he served so. devotedly and well can greatly benefit from his unmatchable example of modesty, integrity and devotion he bequeathed to it. Charlie’s two great loves were children and flowers, the living mirrors in the heart of a good man. In token of this, it is the request of his Annie that any of his friends or comrades desirous of donating floral or other tributes to his memory, should do so by donating to heal and succor the broken bodies and hunger of the stricken children of Vietnam — the poor victims of U.S. genocide. Such donations should be marked the Charlie Stewart Children Fund and forwarded to the Fraser Valley Peace Club, c/o 16124 Columbia Ave., White Rock, B.C.
