B.C. peace conference
will hear papers on
arms reduction, trade

A many-sided study of disarmament and world trade will be presented in papers prepared

B.C. Peace Council announced this week.

Keynote speech to the confer- 7

ence, to be given by Ray Gard-
ner, executive secretary, will deal
largely with the Canadian Peace
Congress proposals on disarma-
ment and trade.

Another paper will be devoted
entirely to the possibility of world
trade, with particular emphasis
on markets for British ‘Columbia
lumber, fish, apples and other
produce and manufactured goods.

The economic effects ‘of rearm-
ament — the cut in home and
school building, the general de-
pression of living standards —
will be dealt with in yet another
paper. A trade unionist will
speak on “Peace and Jobs,” show-
ing how the struggle for peace
is also the struggle for full em-
ployment.

The international situation will
be dealt with in another series
of papers. Subjects include the
rearmament of Germany, the re-
armament of Japan and the wars
now raging in Korea and Viet
Nam.

A final paper will deal with cul-
ture and peace, with suggestions
for local application of the reso-
lution on culture adopted at the
Vienna meeting of the World
Peace Council.

“These papers,” Gardner said,
“will ‘be short and informative.
Their purpose will be not only to
supply those attending ‘the con-

more important, to encourage full
‘discussion of the problems con-
fronting us, leading to solutions
jointly arrived at. All other as-

and against war will be subjéct
of discussion at the conference,
in addition to the subjects out-
in the prepared papers.”
lhe conference is to be pro-
ceeded by a public rally for peace
at the Pender Auditorium on
the evening of Friday, April 18,

A prominent American peace |

er will be principal speaker.

“UGLY PATTERN’ SEEN

Council’s use of a technicality
to avoid collective ‘bargaining
has aroused the labor movement
land thousands of circulars is-
sued by the Civic Employees
Union are being distributed in
plants and shops.

“The Vancouver City Council
has set an ugly pattern in labor
relations; ‘they ‘have given hope
and courage to all anti-union
forces in British Columbia,” says
the union leaflet.

“The council is taking Labor
Relations Board into court, be-
cause the LRB ordered them to
bargain collectively with a duly
certified union of civic em-
ployees,” it continues. “This is
the first time in B.C. labor his-
tory that an employer has gone
to court for a ruling to prevent
collective bargaining. The en-
tire labor movement must be
alerted to this danger to the
established rights of the trade
union movement.”

Among unions which are as-
sisting jn distributing the circular
are: Local 1-217, International
‘Woodworkers of America; Van-
couver Converters Local, Inter-
national Brotherhood of Pulp,
Sulphite and Paper Mill Work-
ers; Fur and Leather Workers
Union; Marine ‘Workers and
Boilermakers; United Fishermen
and Allied Workers; Local 596,
Oil Workers International
Union.

S. M. Hodgson, financial secre-
tary, Local 1-217, IWA, wrote

follows:

\
“In reply to your circular let-
ter of March 6 please be advised
that our local is certainly agree-
able to distributing circulars out-
lining your (position re the dis-
pute between the city council
and the Labor Relations Board.

“IT would appreciate it if you
could: give us at your earliest
convenience albout 1,000 copies
of your circular.

“For your information, we in-
tend printing an article in the
next issue of our local paper
dealing with the situation. Fur-
ther to this, we intend to bring
the matter before our district
executive board at its next meet-

ing.”

the packinghouse corporations.
“The LPP,” Kardash ‘said;
takes the position that the Can-
adian government is fully re-
sponsible for the situation in its
gross negligence of the disease
for three months. It must, there-
fore, assume full responsibility
along the lines suggested in my
telegram to Mr. Gardiner.”

The LPP member urged the
trade union movement back the
demand that the federal govern-
ment fully compensate workers
laid off as a result of the epi-
demic “and protect the con-
sumers against’ any price goug-
ing by the packinghouse corpo-
rations.” :

In his wire to’ Gardiner,: Kar-
dash demanded five measures to
be taken by the government to
alleviate the “threatening  situ-
ation to farm economy”:

_ 1.—A floor price on beef cat-
tle to be set at the level exist-
ing prior to the public an-
nouncement of the outbreak of

‘the disease.

2.—Full compensation to
farmers for loss of cattle and
loss of income.

3.—Full payroll >compensa-
tio for laid off packinghouse
workers.

4.—Protection of consumers
against profiteering.

5.—In consultation with pro-
vinces ensure adequate supply
of meat to all areas with due
regard to proper inspection.
