Close to 30° women with
children gathered in front of
the C.N.R. station last Wed-
nesday to protest spiraling
food (particularly meat) coasts.
Meeting at 1 o’clock, they
proceeded to march down
Terminal Ave. to the Canada
Packers plant where they
held an open air assembly
and sent a telegram to the
Diefenbaker government to
curb profiteering by acting to
halt price rises.

The parade was sponsored
by the Women’s Commission
of the B.C. Communist Party.
The marchers carried plac-
ards which read: “Budget for
Beef—not’ Bombs”; “Bigger
profits they boast—and away
goes our roast”; “Canada
Packers’ profits rise $500,000
in ?61 - ’62”: and “Prosperity
—not Austerity”’.

En route the marching
women handed out a leaflet
entitled: ‘‘What can women
do about the DOLLAR and

LABOR ROUNDUP:

City labor decides to enter
coming municipal elections

By JERRY SHACK
Vancouver Labor Coun-

ci] moved on Tuesday night

to enter the forth-coming'
municipal elections by sup-
porting “labor candidates
or candidates worthy of
labor support in all Low-
er Mainland~- cities and
municipalities.”

In accepting the recommenda-
tions of its Municipal Affairs
Committee chairman Arnie Han-
sen (Steelworkers) it set Oct. 15
as the date for planning the cam-
paigns and picking candidates in
Burnaby and North Vancouver
and also set a Nov. 5 Aleadline
for any candidate desirous of
obtaining labor support. No con-
ference has yet been proposed

for Vancouver.

In other action, council heard
Syd Thompson (1-217 TWA) charge
that MacMillan Bloedel & Powell
River “‘is a menace to the people
of this province” and that it was
time to hold ‘‘a public investiga-
tion of this company.’’ Thompson
also suggested joint consultations
between the IWA and Pulp & Sul-
phite unions in order to map out
a joint policy of fighting back
against the giant lumber monop-
oly which now controls 42 per
cent of the lumber resources of
Be,

Council endorsed the IWA posi-
tion and pledged full support to
any union fighting the lumber
barons. (This company and the
IWA have both applied to the La-
bor Relations Board to prosecute
each other over a dispute involv-
ing 300 men at the Somass mill
in Pt. Alberni.)

Speaking on the motion, Charles
Stewart (Street Railwaymen —
101) said that he was sure the
IWA leadership ‘‘realizes that a
fight of this.kind won’t be won in
courts. What will win is an at-
mosphere of unity and militancy.”
Stewart concluded by saying that
“Gf the IWA loses this fight, so
will the entire labor movement

ARABS PROTEST
MISSILE PLAN

Jordan protested in the
Uniteq Nations General As-
sembly in New York Monday
against an American decision
to supply missiles to Israel.

Dr. Haem Nusseiber, Jor-
dan’s Foreign Minister, said
that Israel’s receipt of Hawk
missiles would constitute “a
deadly threat” to the secur-
ity of Arab states.

Council also heard further re-
ports on the Unemployment In-
surance Commission, which is re-
portedly using trick questions in
order to disqualify prospective
beneficiaries.

Michael Capri of the Moulders
and Allied Workers union, told the
delegates that his union has es-
tablished that retired RCMP of-
ficers are being used by the UIC
to visit jobless people and are
trapping them into making state-
ments which automatically dis-
qualify them from receiving un-
employment insurance.

Elsewhere on the labor scene,
Canada’s civil servants have
charged the Diefenbaker govern-
ment with ‘unfair, unjustified
and discriminatory practices.”

Meeting in Vancouver, dele-
gates representing the 32,000-
member Civil Service Association
of Canada unanimously censured
the government for their wage
freeze policy.

President J. C. Best of Ottawa
charged that civil servants are

Quite a bit of discussion cen-

study further any decision to af-

The United Fishermen & Allied
Workers Union has announced
that it intends to re-open the her-
ring agreements. which expire at
noon on Tuesday, October 16.

The union will demand $16 a
ton for seine caught herring for
reduction purr ses and $20 a ton
(or Ic a lb.) %r herring caught
for canning, .lIting, etc. This
compares with a reduction price
of $10.40 a ton in 1961.

The union points out that the
price of 1c a lb. for herring pro-
ceSsed for human consumption
“Ws posibly the cheapest food -pro-
duced”’ and that the old price for
this of $16 a ton has been constant

for 8 or 9 years.

Will its flow be developed to serve Canada — or the U.S.?.
