LONG-TIME Assistant Secretary

Labour. McNevin, who has worked
for the Federation for the past
nine years, was highly active in
the New Democratic Party and

the riding of Yale a number of-

years ago. He is expected to take
up his new post some time in De-
cember.

“CONVENTION”

eight cents per member per
month.

The proposed increase,
which has yet to be settled on;
requires a notice of motion. It
is presumed that the Federa-
tion officers will come up with
a figure and lobby support for
it from the delegates attend-
ing next year’s convention.

The delegates dealt with ap-
proximately 160 resolutions
ranging from a condemnation
of Russia’s invasion of Czech-
oslovakia to the demand for
the establishment of a provin-
cial department of pollution
control to guarantee healthy
air, fresh water, clean beaches.

The convention indicated its
concern for world peace by
stating flatly that labour was
not playing the leadership role

it should. Delegates complain-
ed that labour should be more
active on peace committees
and not leave it to the clergy
and fraternal organizations

Some of the resolutions ap-
proved called for:

® An end of the supply of
Canadian arms for shipment
to Vietnam.

© Reduced military ex-
penditure by Canada except
to maintain a peace-keeping
force.

e Continued opposition by
the Federation to the war in
Vietnam.

An attempt by the Federa-
tion’s executive to have the
conventions held every second
year was defeated by the dele-
gates who strongly indicated
their desire to hold them an-
nually.
