PS sek Ne UN RENIN Va ncouver, BS LABOR ROUNDUP : Workers lack interest in Sudbury Steel vote Steel local 6500 has held its elections at the Inter- national Nickel Co. in Sud- bury. Less than 4,500 workers out of more than 12,000 em- ployees exercised their right to vote. This compares with more than 10,000 who voted in the Mine Mill Local 598 elections. The Mine Mill elections were held in adverse circu- stances, due to the fact that the company denied local 598 the use of its property. Steel, however, was provided all fa- cilities by INCO. As a result, Bill Longridge, Mine Mill National secretary, wrote Ontario Labor Minister Rowntree: “We feel that this recent Steel election absolutely con- firms that the election con- ducted by the. Ontario Labor Relations Board for bargain- ing rights was unfair and un- duly influenced by the failure to carry out the board’s regu- lations and did not truly ex- press the wishes of the em- ployees of the International Nickel Company. “In our opinion, it is now patently clear that the Steel- workers have a minority sup- port among the workers at INCO and that a new vote should be granted in order that the majority expression of the employees of this company can be clearly ob- tained.” e The United Electrical Work- ers union, meeting at its 26th annual convention in Toronto recently, outlined an eight- point program for Canadian independence from U.S. dom- ‘Conspiracy of silence’ charge levied by candidate Rankin There is a ‘conspiracy of silence on the part of the LABOR Cont’d from pg. 1 by the daily press and poli- ticians of the right twisting statements by trade union leaders and leaders of the New Democratic Party in an obvious attempt to split labor and alienate it from its polit- ical arm. “We have agreed unani- mously to stay united in the face of current policies of em- ployer groups and the em- ployers’ government and to continue the fight for civil liberties and the economic liberty of all workers. “The best way to do this is to remove Bills 42 and 43 from the statute books — in other words, to defeat the Socred government. “However, until this is ac- complished, the labor move- ment has no intention oi standing by and watching some of its unions driven out of existence.” Vancouver daily papers, in collusion with the Non-Parti- san Association, with the aim of keeping people away from the polls on December 12,” Harry Rankin, candidate for council in the civic elections, has charged. He claims that the NPA, through its extensive machine, is carrying on what they call “chain phoning.” Each person phones ‘five people and asks them to phone five more. In this way, while keeping the issues in the election played down and the interest of the people at a low level, it is the organized intention of the daily papers and the NPA gang to ensure their re-elect- ion — which they know is otherwise unlikely. Tronically, if this plan suc- ceeds, Rankin says, the Van- couver dailies will appear with editorials on the day after the election, lamenting the lack of interest in munic- ipal politics and proposing so- lutions such as. doubling the length of term of office of city officials. ination and a five point ap- proach to peace. Some points adopted to as- sert Canadian independence were: e Full emphasis on indust- rial development, particularly secondary manufacturing; e Strict limitation on im- ported parts and components based on Canadian manufac- turing possibilities and the establishment of Crown Com- panies to produce parts, com- ponents and finished goods where private industry re- fuses to do so; e Regulation of the export of raw materials and legisla- tion to limit further take-over of Canadian companies by for- eign capital; and e A new trade policy to end Canadian dependence on the U.S. market. The peace plan included calls for peaceful co-existence, the right of self-determination for all countries. On the B.C. labor front, last Tuesday’s meeting of the Vancouver Labour Council moved into a closed session in order to dicuss future “strike strategy and press re- ports.” The question of press re- ports was raised sharply on the floor of the meeting by numerous delegates who stat- ed that the daily press, radio etc. had indulged in a whole number of gross distortions recently. Prior to moving into the closed session, council was ad- vised that a special meeting of the B.C. Fed. had been called for Thursday afternoon —also to deal with the strike situation and the fight to abolish Bills 42 and 43. Council also received “with thanks” a donation of $382.25 from the Civic Outside Work- ers union, representing 25c per member. In a letter accompanying the cheque, union secretary Jack Phillips stated that the union action Was a gesture of solidarity with the rest of the trade union movement in the com- mon “crusade against anti- labor legislation. NPA pins hope on small vote Cont'd from pg. 1 There is a widespread re- action against the NPA and little doubt that if a big vote turns out on election day the NPA will suffer sharp re- verses. ALDERMANIC RACE After the mayorality race considerable interest centres on the aldermanic contest. There are 11 candidates for 5 aldermanic posts and only 2° sitting aldermen running for re-election. Harry Rankin, running as an independent, is knocking on the door this year. Realiz- ing this the papers are trying to shore-up the weakest NPA candidate to defeat Rankin. They obviously feel that Phil- lip Lipp, an east end real estate dealer and extreme right wing figure, is the weak- est link in their chain and they are going to great lengths to push him forward. Mona Morgan is running a very strong campaign and observers are predicting a big increase in her vote. Her pro- gram is hitting thousands of doorsteps. An interesting feature of the campaign is the Sunday Sport plebicite. Any other year this plebicite .would be worth thousands of inches of copy in the press with both sides waxing furious about PHYLLIS CLARKE, Commu- nist candidate for board of control in Toronto’s. civic election this week, polled 16,- 151 votes, an increase of 2,000 over the previous vote. the relative merits of open or closed Sundays. This year it is almost obscured from public view. Why? WANTS SMALL VOTE The answer is simple. A big discussion on the Sunday vote would bring out large numbers of east end voters who in the main support the proposition of Sunday sports. Since the winning of the elect- ion by the NPA requires in particular, that the east-end voters stay home—no discus- sion. Donald Greenwell is con- ducting a strong campaign against approval of the Shaughnessy by-law. He fa- vors acquiring the park but not at the $2% million being suggested. He is receiving strong backing for his position. The big problem however facing Mr. and Mrs. Vancou- ver is to overcome the calcu- lated apathy being created by big-business about this elect- ion’ and turn out in record numbers on election day.
