THE WESTERN CANADIAN LUMBER WORKER

Cope ae

LOTTERY IN APRIL

Western Canada will have a lottery in operation by
April, 1974, Provincial Secretary Ernie Hall has announced
following a meeting with government ministers from the
other western provinces. Details are still being worked out.

He predicted that the lottery would provide British
Columbia with as much as $2.5 million per year towards
worthwhile but non-essential services.

SUPER VALU STORES
ON THE “HOT” LIST

B.C. Federation of Labour
Secretary-Treasurer Ray
Haynes has announced that all
Super Valu stores in the

province have been declared:

unfair by the Labour Federa-
tion. In making the announce-
ment, Haynes said:

“Super-Valu is the only
major food retailer in British
Columbia to involve itself in
the unsavoury and unconscion-
able attempt now underway in
the United States to smash the
United Farm Workers Union.
The struggle by these farm-
workers for the right to belong
to the union of their choice is
much more than a simple trade
union dispute — it is a battle
for social justice that must
involve all sections of the
community.

“The first grape boycott in
1967 received
public support around the
world and in Vancouver in par-
ticular. Now the farmworkers
are again faced with an
organized attempt to destroy
their union and .are again
calling for trade union and
public support.

‘In British Columbia Super
Valu is the only major food
chain-to join in this attack on
the rights of the farmworkers

by continuing its policy of .

selling California and Arizona
grapes. The B.C. Federation of
_Labour has therefore declared
all Super Valu stores unfair
and urges all members of the

public to support Cesar Chavez

FOR US

Resources Minister Bob Wil-
liams has announced that,
effective immediately, new
leases of Crown land or trans-
fers of existing leases can be
made only to Canadian citizens
or landed immigrants.
