Hassle ends

The dispute in Hazelton
brought on by [.W.A, action of
stoping the Independents for
eight days delivering logs to the
CanCel Hazellon yard came to
an end last Wednesday even
(hough the union had said no one
would go back to wark until the
employees and owner operators
were unionized, The issue has
now been referred to the
Committee agreed to by the
LW.A. and F.OLR. in the Master

reament signed in Jue.

each lo iry and resolve the,
issue. This is

deplorable aclion agreed by the
iwo parties where they will sit

‘down and decide the fale of a
_ third party the Independents

and more important still the
very basis of Democracy of
whether an employee will have
the right to free choice laken
away by an appointed com-
mitlee of six, The freedoms of
the individual is far too basic to
the Canadian way of life to be
Jeft to a Committee to decide,
World War 2 was fought for six
years and millions lost their
lives lo protect this basic
freedom of the individual, this
should not be lost without full
debate in the Parliament of
Canada and the Legistatures of
each Province.

If the Big CO’s and Big Unions
wish to destroy and bury the
Independents and the rights of
the employees to make a free

choice they could at least have
the courtesy to invite the victim
to the grave and let him have
his last say, this can be done by
appointing one Independent on

the Committee. Disputes such

as this that pul nearly .one
hundred men out of work and
cost over one hundred thousand
dollars should not happen with

‘thousands oul of work, all

groups should be putting their
lotal efforts towards a solution
of our present Economic
problems instead of fighting
‘each other. In order to get
factual information to both
sides we would like to invite the
1.W.A. lo our next meeting on
November 20th. On condition
the I.W.A, extend to us the same
courtesy 10 attend their
meeting. .

We believe in the rights af the -

ask the .W.A. members lo urge

Democratic unionism which the
