Will Run as Labor Candidate
Tom McEwen Nominated in Yukon

Tom McEwen, B.C. provincial organizer and national
commiuttee member. of the lWLabor-Progressive Party, an-
nounced this week that he would accept nomination as
Labor candidate for the Yukon territory in the next federal

election. .

McEwen made his announce-
ment following receipt of a let-
ter stating that his name had
been placed before an open
meeting at Whitehorse and
unanimously endorsed. In urg-
ing him to stand, the letter,
Signed by Phyllis J. Gray, said:

“This will give the Yukon
people their first oppor-
tunity in the history of this

territory to vote for a Labor -

member of parliament and we
fee] that they will rise to the
opportunity.”

Commenting this week on
the radio address made by U.S.
Vice-President Henry Wallace
from Edmonton on his return
from the Soviet Union and
China, McEwen stated: 2

“Tt is extremely important
for the future of our northern
territories, and for the whole
of Canada because of what de-
velopment of those territories
means to postwar reconstruc-
tion, that there should be at
Ottawa a government with
vision to grasp the oportunity

and policies designed to realize
that vision.

“Labor, through the Labor-
Progressive Party, was the
first to advance a progressive
policy for future development
of the Yukon and labor must use
its influence to ensure that this
policy is carried through.”

(Wallace, in his speech at Ed-
monton, said: “I am more than
ever convinced that we are en-
tering upon what might be
called the era of the Pacific... .
the new frontier will extend
from Mineapolis to the Goast
states and Alaska, through Si-
beria and China all the way to
Central Asia.” The future of
‘the United States and Canada,
he declared, was intimately tied
up with the need for the closest
cooperation between the United
States and Canada, China and
the USSR for maintenance of

air routes between the Americas
and Asia.)

Yukon Union Protests
W age Inequalities

Local 884 of the Hotel and Restaurant Employees’
Union at Whitehorse, Y.T., organized with the assistance of

Tom McEwen, LPP provincial organizer, has presented
a brief to the Western War Labor Board citing the extreme
wage differentials existing between American and Canad-
ian workers employed on U.S. projects in the Yukon. The
brief urges that some steps be taken to adjust these differ-
entials in order to place Canadian and American workers

on an equal level.

Officials of Vancouver Labor
Council have made similar rep-
resentations before the board
on behalf of their affiliated
membership.

Basis of most complaints 1s
that skilled Canadian crafts-
men receive less wages than
unskilled American workers on
U.S.-supervised projects. In
Some terminal camps American
cooks receive $350 a month,

while a Canadian cook is froez-
en on the same job at $245 a
month, and barred from over-
time. In line and maintenance
camps American cooks receive
approximately $287 while the
Canadian rate is $125 to $150
a month.

In other
work the differentials between
American and Canadian em-
ployees on the same job is eyen
more glaring.

FA. 6419;

classifications of -

ver Labor Council delegation
that it “can not interfere with
the setup of U.S. wages paid
in Canada, but can only deal
with wages paid in Canada.”

Injustice of the situation is

_ accentuated by the fact that

prices generally in the Yukon
are far above those elsewhere
in Canada

The union intends to press its
claim for readjustment of wage
schedules. While the Regional
and National War Labor Boards
have no jurisdiction over U.S.
wage levels, it is within their
power to effect more equitable

adjustments in the Yukon.

FRIENDLY SERVICE

BY BERYL WHEELDON

PENTICLON, B.C.—The La-
bor-Progressive Party, at a
nominating convention held here
last weekend, unanimously
chose Angus Campbell, veteran
trade unionist, as its federal

candidate for Yale constituency.

The nomination was proposed
by George Anderson of Copper
Mountain and seconded by John
Clarke of Glenmore.

Campbell, who joined his
first trade union 35 years ago,
is widely known as a railroad
man through the Okanagan
Valley and the Kootenays. He
is also a charter member of §
the Copper Mountain Miners’
Union, affiliated to the TIUMM
SW...

Sam Carr, LPP national or
ganizer, who attended the con
vention, pointed out that “the
LPP has not nominated against
one sitting CCE member. as
proof of its”’desire for unity,
With tHe exception of Angus
MacInnis in Vancouver East, for
which, in view of his anti-Soviet
attitude, we make no apology.
Yet the CCE, in its unrealistic
approach to the people’s prob-f/f
lems, has nominated against the 7
two sitting L.PP members, Dor-
ise Neilsen and Fred Rose.”
