Outside Civic Workers

seek 31c¢ wage increase

An official letter from Vancouver Civic Employees’ Union, Local 28, outlining wage
and. other demands of outside workers for 1951, was read by city council finance committee
this week and referred to the conciliation committee, which conducts the yearly negotia-

tions.

In preparation for negotiations, ,

Local 28 has been conducting an
“Operation Blitz” to unite all civic
workers under one banner, and
many former union members who
revoked, their check-off under pres-
sure and promises from the Carl
Berg faction have now rejoined the
legitimate union.

Photostatic copies of dues deduc-
tion vouchers from city hall, dis-
tributed to job stewards early this
week, prove that Local 28 has the
vast majority of outside workers
in its ‘ranks, and blasts Berg’s
claim that “from 500 to 900” workers
joined his rump union.

Payroll deductions for October
(before the split) amounted to
$1,742.50. Deductions for Decem-
ber were $1,426.25. This shows a
drop of 273 members, but, as Lo-
cal 28 points out, “this drop in-
cludes winter lay-offs in construc-
tion, and retiring men not re-
placed by new employees.”

In addition, some 30 or 40 mem-
bers are usually off sick or on com-
pensation in winter months,

“At the most, Berg’s rump group
have 150 members, compared with
more than 1,200 in Local 28,” a
union statement says. “The swing
is back to us from the rump group,
and from those who revoked their
check-off but did not join the split-
ters.”

Local 28’s bargaining committee
for 1951 was named from the floor
of the last membership meeting,
and ‘consists of the following:

GREETINGS
To All Our Friends
Peace Must be Won in 1951

Sam, Ione, Mary, Brenda

and Kenneth English

A meeting of the negotiating com-

gotiations with the city:

Farlane, E. Smith, E. Lawrie, B.

At the union membership meet-

Great Lakes.

a brief presented by the execu-

this week.

The four key
by the students
ing the critical
were:

principles endorsed
as a means of eas-
Far East situation

That the principle of the uni-
versality of membership of the
United Nations, as stated by the
secretary-general, should be re-

| established, and the admittance of

the Peking government along with
other de facto governments which
can claim membership in fulfilment

| of the principles of Article 4 of the

Charter, should be effected in ac-
cordance with that principle.

That the contention of the

* western powers that the Ko-
rean crisis must be discussed sep-
arately is demonstrably unrealistic
and unsuitable as a basis for set-
tlement; and must be abandoned
therefore in favor of the proposal
of the Peking government, spoken

‘Eastern question is interlinked and

UN. This would necessarily in-
clude Indochina, Malaya :and For-
mosa. Canadian policy might well
be guided by the example of Brit-
ish postwar policy in India.

ni That the principle should sim-
| ultaneously be established that
the economic program for the Far
East, not a political or military
(strategic). program, is the main
duty of UN toward that area. This
would bring the Technical Assist-
ance Program into greater prom-
inence as the solution, rather than
Western political solutions, The
economic policy of the Common-
wealth Conference, laid down in
1949 at Colombo, would provide a

possible pattern to this;in particu-
lar the key factor—domestic and
| not foreign administration of assis-
| tance.
That the association of UN
* policy with U.S. policy should
be discontinued. In particular the
responsibility of General MacArthur
to the 'UN and not to the U.S. should
be re-stated, and American policy
(political and military) in Formosa
and Japan should not be confused
with UN efforts in Korea. Further-
more, there should be reconsidera-
tion of the apparently dual position
held by General MacArthur as U.S.
military governor in Japan, and
UN field commander in Korea.

“War with the peoples of Asia
is unthinkable, and unless the
West takes a more compromising
view in the United Nations, we
are faced with that prospect,” the
resolution concludes. “This is
the reason why we should resolve
ourselves, above all, to avoid this
alternative by accepting the above
four principles.”

The resolution also points out that
UN must recognize the “movements
of social revolution, of land reform
and of national independence”
which are sweeping Asia.

LPP calls for
withdrawal of
Canadian froops

Delegates from city and provin-
cial LPP clubs attended a special
one-day convention of the B.C-
Yukon district of the Labor-Pro-
gressive party here last Sunday.

The convention discussed the
draft resolution issued recently by
the LPP national executive, and
elected delegates to attend the na-
tional convention which opens in
Toronto on January 25.

| At the opening of the special
,convention, delegates observed a
minute’s silence in honoring the

memory of Kay Erickson, word of
whose death a few hours earlier
was received as the convention
opened.

}

| The convention endorsed resolu-
tions calling for withdrawal of Can-
adian troops from Korea; demand-
ing recognition of China and seat-
ing of New China in the United
Nations; opposing proposed in-
creases in hospital insurance rates
‘and demanding better hospital faci-
| lities; condemning conscription and
| militarization of Canadian youth;
|and supporting the program for
| peace advanced by the Warsaw
| World Peace Congress.
