Makes quite a_ difference
doesn’t it?

Will ‘we continue to publish
|} a 12 page paper every second
| week. It’s up to you!
| Our’ Annual Circulation
| drive begins on October Ist.
| The objective this year is L,-
| 500 new subs and renewals by
the conclusion of the drive,
| Nov. 15th.
| The continued

publication

7 of an enlarged paper. depends

| upon the success of this drive.
| Therefore, for our hard work-
| ing press builders, this is not
just another campaign. This is
a campaign to start the up-
ward trend in the size, qual-
ity, quantity and circulation
of our press. This is the cam-
paign where the influence and
leadership of the Pacific
Tribune is going to be ex-
| tended.

Times are changing, for the
better. The forces-:of peace
{and socialism are scoring new
; triumphs almost daily. Our
| paper and its circulation must

change, for the better, with
the times.

| The sloyan for this cam-
| paign might well be, “To keep
|up with the times, build a
|bigger and better Pacific
Tribune.”

Proposed quotas have been
sent out to the clubs and will
be published in the next issue
of the Pacific Tribune. In the
meantime we draw attention
to the advertisement appear-
ing alongside this story. Mark
well its message. Renew your
sub now and free our press
builders for the job of. getting
new readers.

Into the campaign men and
women! There is much to be
done and not too much time
to do it.

IWA convention to face’
large issues next week |

One hundred and fifty-five delegates from British)
Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba will come |
together in Vancouver, Tuesday,

convention of the newly constituted Region No. 1 of the
International Woodworkers of ghia ica,

The “hot potato issues”
thrusting themselves before
this convention are unemploy-
ment, speed-up, automation
While most of

these issues are bound to-
gether, what appears to be
lacking, say sources close to

is a policy that
membership in
their solution.

Evidence ‘would indicate
that the serious - unemploy-
ment situation. now. rocking
the wood industry. has caught
the leadership unprepared.
‘Certainly, with the rising de-
mand for a shorter work week,
it is difficult to suggest any
other reason for. the strange
silence of the I.W.A. leaders
on this key question, except
a now punctured theory that
it was no problem in that in-
dustry.

Similarly on the product-
ivity front. Joe Morris recent-
ly hailed tthe~Longshoremen’s
guaranteed annual wage
agreement (see story this is-
sue of the Pacific Tribune) as
a big break through for labor.
However, in the I.W.A. con-
ditions established over the
years-are being trampled un-
derfoot by the companies
without any organiz7d resist-
ance on the part of the union.
By the twin processes of auto-
mation and ‘speed-up — thous-
ands of woodworkers are lods-
ing their jobs and no provis-
ion is made for their liveli-
hood. Seasoned veterans - say
they have never seen such.a
pile-up of unprocessed. griev-
ances since the unorganized
days.

It has now become obvious
that the dependance of B.C.’s
lumber industry, almost ex-
clusively, on U.S. markets, is
having disastrous -consequen
ces on both the economy of
the province and -the. welfare
of the workers. Since it is
hardly logical to expect the

the: situation,
unites the
struggle for

companies, which are mainly
U.S.-controlled, to put forth
any alternative to this disast
