Toronto posties roast Rinfret on rights, hours TORONTO Two thousand Toronto and Southern Ontario postal work- ers last week rejected the idea of Postmaster Gabriel Rinfret that they are “partners” and “members of the postal family.” ‘The angry posties, who have been working a-60 hour week and carrying heavier loads under the new delivery. sys- tem, tossed aside the “partnership” theme and put forward an eight point demand on the Dominion government. \ The meeting, sponsored jointly by the Toronto branches of the Federated Association of Letter Carriers, Canadian Postal Employ- ees’ Association, was a stormy pro- test affair which saw Rinfret al- most heckled off the platform as postmen from the floor of the gathering challenged the policies of the government department he heads. The postal workers eight point program demands: (1) collective bargaining rights for all postal employees (2) ‘the 40 hour, five day week with maintenance of the night shift differential (3) an adequate cost-of-living bonus re- troactive to December 1, 1950 (4) that maximum salaries be reach- ed within three years instead of Grandview Market $726 Grandview Highway FREE DELIVERY—DE. 1494-M Fresh Fruit and Vegetables Our Specialty LEONG HAT SHOP ‘New & Used Hats For Sale Hats Cleaned & Blocked Expert Workmanship 70 West Cordova Street [ “Everything in Flowers” FROM...

Rinfret was one of 15 speakers who addressed the postmen. Oth- ers included five Toronto Liberal MP’s, CCOF MP Joseph Noseworthy (York South) and Russell Harvey, AFL organizer. Temper of the postmen was reflected by shouts of “Ah, drop dead!” which were hurled at Rinfret. Sporadic cross- fire accompanied Rinfret’s attempt to placate the postmen and at one time it appeared he might aban- don the platform. What the hard-worked postal employees want, and what the government is trying tf) prevent them from having, is a single union of postal workers with. full collective bargaining rights. Dan Cross, national president of the Canadian Postal Employees’ Association, also urged that a single union be formed “speaking with one big voice.” Cross stress- ed that the maximum salary paid to postal workers $2,904) was only worth $1,622.on the basis of the 1939 cost-of-living index, but was actually only worth $1,000 when measured against” today’s food costs. : Vancouver Second Hand Store @ Stove Parts and Repairs @ Used Plumbing Supplies Tools Kitchenware 538 MAIN ST.

Supreme Court ruling hif by U.S. liberals SAN FRANCISCO A half-page advertisement in the San Francisco Chronicle, signed by five prominent liberals, last week took issue with the recent U.S. Supreme Court opinion, upholding the conviction .of 11 Communist leaders under the Smith Act. The sponsors of the advertise- ment associated themselves with the dissenting opinions of Justices Black and Douglas, and the bulk of the advertisement was devoted to excerpts from these idissents. . The five co-signers of the adver- tisement, which first appeared in the New York Times, were: | Zechariah Chafe, Harvard law professor and one of the authori- ties’ on constitutional law in the U.S.;. Dr. Alexander Meilklejohn, philosopher and educator, and former president of Amherst Col- lege; Stingfellow Barr, president of St. John’s College; Roger Bald- win, for many years director of the American Civil Liberties Union, and Clarence Pickett, executive secre- tary of the American Friends Ser- vice Committee (Quakers). The liberal spokesmen declared, in preface to the Black and Doug- las dissents: ‘ ’ “The right to differ from the majority view is a cherished priv- ilege of our democracy. Without if we have no democracy.” Peace Council wants petition forms turned in British Columbia Peace ‘Council made a special appeal this week to all peace’ workers to turn in World Peace Pact petition forms as soon os possible. The council announced that re- sults of the petition campaign up to July .1 are to be reviewed on -July 8 in Toronto by the national council of the Canadian Peace Congress. It is essential, the coun- cil said, that an accurate total be ready by then, “But there is no suggestion that the campaign will come to a close soon,” the ‘council announced. “In fact, our council will recommend that the campaign be extended to August 31 to be reviewed again on that date. © ‘ “In the meantime, street can- vassing will continue each Satur- day. and mass _ house-to-house canvasses will take place on Wed- nesday evenings.” L/L. ————— THE GOLDEN RULE AL SERVICE 1995 WEST BROADWAY VANCOUVER, B.C.

In this, William Chomyn, the eyoung and talented festival conductor, earned the tremendous applause he received for the able fashion in which he coordinated, directed and brought out the best in the massed orchestras, choirs and male dance group participat- TBekag Two of the many fine artists who have been trained by the AUIUC here Ellen Kalanj, soprano, and Russel Wakaluk, violinist, fully Measured up to the audience’s expectations, Ellen Kalanj with two solos and Russel Wakaluk with the First Movement of Mo- zart-s Concerto in G.
