‘Don’t buy it—bake it’. This
is the slogan raised by the
Housewives Consumer Associa-
tion here to popularize its pro-
test campaign against the King
government’s latest decontrol
order increasing the price of
bread three cents a loaf and
almost doubling the price of
flour. And, if letters praising
the Association’s proposal and
reports of baking bees are any
indication, the campaign has
already caught on.

At a meeting of the Greater .
Vancouver Council of the

‘Don't buy it-bake it’-say housewives

Housewives’ Consumer Associa~
tion last Friday one delegate,
Mrs. Jane Monruffet, reported
that she had already organized
a community oven among her
neighbors, many of whom were
old age pensioners hard hit by
recent price increases. Another,
Mrs. Freda Adams, undertook
to get her neighbors together
in a demonstration ‘bake’ to
show what could be accom-
plished.

This week, in many city
blocks, neighbors were getting
together to share the work and

costs of baking their own
bread, while storekeepers
throughout the city reported in-
creases in their sales of flour.

The Housewives’ Consumer
Association is urging its bran-
ches and members throughout
the province to organize public
meeting and send delegations
to local MP’s, MLA’s and coun-
cillors in a campaign to win
support for its demand that
the government restore sub-
sidies, particularly on flour and
milk, and reimpose price con-

Meat strike may

“There’s a lot of meat coming
into the city that’s not going
through either city or government
inspection. Farmers’ kills are
brought into the city by, all types
of conveyances. Several of our
members here have even seen fuel
trucks loading meat: This is
against city regulations, and right-
ly so, because it’s a menace to

health.”

Elsewhere on the troubled labor
front, picket lines outside Vancou-
ver and Burnaby steel fabricating
plants were being held solid this
week as the government’s mass
prosecution of strikers for viola-
tion of Bill 39 ran into tegal

snags.

At Victoria on Monday, Justice
A. D. Macfarlane refused to grant
an injunction to prohibit picket-

ing of struck Vancouver steel
plants, concluding his %25-page
judgment with the opinion that
the application for the injunction
should be stood over until after
the current trials of steelworkers:

Stating that the legislature “has
created a new type of juristic per-
son,” Justice Macfarlane held that
the two Vancouver locals of the
United Steelworkers of America
involved in the strike, 2456 and
2655, were bargaining agents but
that the parent body, the United
Steelworkers, was not and the

case against it should therefore
be dismissed.

At the same time, the USA scor-
ed a legal point when it served
E. T. Kenney, acting labor min-
ister, with a writ to restrain him
from acting in place of labor
Minister George Pearson. ' The
writ, returnable in Vancouver this
coming Tuesday, September 30,
forced Kenney to postpone his
proposal to sit as a one-man court
to determine points of fact con-
cerning the prosecution of steel-
workers.

As in the case of. the laundry
workers, during the recent strike
in Nanaimo, Kenney must again
sit as “judge, jury and prosecu-
tor” because the labor relations
board provided for by Bill 39
has not yet been established.

A new problem to complicate
the Coalition government’s difficul-
ties was posed this week when
25 unorganized workers at Dom-
inion Bridge’s False Creek plant
walked off their jobs in support
of union members already on
strike. Since none of the workers
were members of the union when
they walked out, have no agree-
ment with the company and there-
fore no bargaining agency. the
provincial labor department must
now search its unpopular Bill 39
to determine whether or not they

‘|}can be prosecuted.

day by a joint CCL-AFL commit-

nounced this week. The committee
ignored Vaneouver’s tag day by-
lay, held by the Supreme Court to
be ultra vires, requiring all tags
to be approved by the city coun-
cil. The tag was also conducted
in New Westminster last Saturday
and will be held in several Van-
couver Island towns this_Saturday,
September 27.

United
shall’s plea that “a supreme ef-
fort is required from us all if we
are to succeed in’breaking through
the vicious circles of deepening
political and economic crisis,” with
the blunt charge that John Foster
Dulles and other influential Am-
erican public figures were leading
a violent propaganda campaign
for war against Russia.

In addition to Dulles, Republi-
can member of the American dele-
gation to the UN, Vishinsky nam-
ed General John» R. Dean, former
head of the American Military
Mission to the Soviet Union,
George Earle, former US minister
to Hungary and Bulgaria, and
Charles A. Eaton, chairman of the
House Committee on Foreign Af-
fairs,

Vishinsky linked these names
with those of “Morgan, Rockefel-
ler, Ford, Hearst, McCormick and
others, and cited Time, Life and
Fortune (all Henry R. Luce pub-
lications) and the New York Her-
ald Tribune as part of the propa-
ganda machine seeking to foment
war against the Soviet Union.

‘Tt is by no means accidental
that the particularly violent war-
mongers among them are those
who are closely connected with

ancial concerns and monopolies.”
he stated, charging that the
meaning’ of their anti-Soviet in-
citements was clear. “They are
Poorly camouflaged instigation
for war against the USSR.” -

Vishinsky pointed up his charge

ing:

“The United Nations Organiz-
ation considers it necessary to
urge the governments of all
countries on pain of criminal
punishment to prohibit. war
propaganda in any form and
take measures for. the preven-
tion and suppression of war
propaganda as a socially dan-
gerous activity threatening the

vital interests and welfare of

Nations

the peace-loving nations.”

He stated that if any person in

the Soviet Union had made state-
ments “even in infinitesimal deg-
ree”
Dulles and others in the United
states, “full of criminal greediness
for a new slaughter, such state-
ments would meet with a severe
rebuff and public disapproval as
a socially dangerous act leading
to serious harm.”

Vishinsky again proposed that

the United Nations should destroy

its atom bombs immediately, even
before international control of
atomic energy is established, and
insist upon universal disarmament.

pointing out that the US, at the —

recent Inter-American Defense
Conference at Petropolis, Brazil,
had emphasized the American
course of maintaining strong mil-
itary forces despite talk about
disarmament.

Thé Truman Doctrine, he stated,
had constituted the first break in
the unanimity of the great powers
when it was proclaimed last
March, and he described the Mar-
shall Plan as merely an extension
of that doctrine to cover all
Europe.

When the general assembly con-
cluded’ its plenary sessions at
Flushing Meadows this week the
voting record was:

@ On US proposals for Korea,
during discussion of which Vish-
insky contended that the US
must accept. responsibility for
having twice rejected construc-
tive Soviet proposals, 41 to
and 7 abstentions for acceptance.

@ On US proposals for Greece,
including a demand for setting
up of a special committee to

“watch” over the Balkans, 38 to
6 and 9 abstentions for accept
ance. >

@ On the Argentine proposal

for revision of the Italian peace
treaty, bitterly opposed by the

Ethiopian delegate, 22 to 3 and

19 abstentions for acceptance:
