Six plants have either closed down or gone on reduced shifts. Fraser Mills laid off 52 men last Week, and there are rumors that T-Ply may be closing down temporarily. Warehouses are alleged to be filled with plywood and other finished products for the build- ing industry which has regained ~ little bouyancy since the lockouts this spring and summer. Some plywood plants are going on a 4-day week for the next 2 weeks. Another has scheduled a complete shutdown for one week in October and one week in November. If the provincial government would implement the building program put forward by the Building Trades Council and the Provincial Council of Carpenters last week, much of this backlog of building materials could be used.

There are 5,000 carpenters in the Lower Mainland, said provin- cial president Arnold Smith, and one-quarter of them are out of work. The B.C. and Yukon Building and Construction Trades Council meeting in Nanaimo the same week were told by B.C. Federation of Labor secretary Ray Haynes that labor had been made the scapegoat for economic blundering in Canada, and that some business leaders and politicians are campaigning for stiffer anti-labor legislation. Labor must not become involved in hate campaigns, such as those promoted against unemployed youth and women who are fighting for their rights. Who is leading the fight against them? he asked. ‘‘When I find the politicians and community leaders who are anti- labor leading the hate-the- hippies campaign, I am suspicious’’, he said. Lorne Robson of the Provin- cial Council of Carpenters proposed a 24-hour building trades shutdown if agreements cannot be reached soon between companies and construction _ VITAL READING New booklets that have arrived in the People’s Co-op Bookstore, 3414 W.

OBITUARY MARVIN HAUKEDAL Marvin Haukedal of North Burnaby, for many years a supporter of the Pacific Tribune and an active worker in the labor and progressive movement, passed away suddenly on September 27 in his 60th year. For many years he was a member of the Machinists Union. Funeral services were held at Boal Memorial Chapel in North Vancouver on October 1. The PT expresses its condolences to his wife Florence and to members of , his family, | unions which are still without contracts. ‘““We will not submit to compulsory arbitration’’, said Charlie Shane of the Laborers’ Union, one of those involved. Ed Lawson, Teamster’s Union president who this summer was adamant that Bill 33 provisions must be obeyed, told the delegates his union members had lost $300,000 by appearing before the mediation commission. The unity which came into being during CLRA’s lockout last spring, and was in evidence during the tugboat strike will be carried on, the Building Trades Council decided. Joint bargaining in the construction industry as a policy was endorsed at the convention, and a standing committee will be set up to work out the mechanics of co-operative bargaining. The committee will present the results of their studies to a special conference. » ye x ‘ “AND: NOT To USE THOSE ATOM BoMBS 1S ACRIMINAL WASTE ‘OF OUR TAXPAYERS’ MONEY! * Forest students ‘concerned’ The last issue of The Plank, organ of the UBC Forest Club, expresses concern in an editorial in its September 29 issue about present forest policies.
