Teachers sever

tie with

labor

By the narrowest of margins, 304 votes to 275, the B.C.
Teachers’ Federation voted at the closing sessfon of its four-
day convention here last week to sever its 13-year affiliation
with the Trades and Labor Congress of Canada.

Ironically, the issue of the
federation’s continued affiliation
with organized labor might not
have arisen had it not been for
the merger this month of the
Trades and Labor Congress and
the Canadian Congress of Labor
necessitating a decision on the
federation’s relationship to the
new Canadian Labor Congress.

Although a great deal was

made of “professionalism” by op-
ponents of labor affiliation, the
Vancouver Secondary Teachers’
Association, composed of univer-
sity graduates, favored continua-
tion of the 'federation’s tie with
labor.

Main opposition came from the
Vancouver Elementary Teachers’
Association, whose 750 members
sent the largest group of dele-
gates to the convention. Dele-
gates from Burnaby Elementary
Teachers’ Association, by con-
trast, were instructed to support
labor affiliation.

Closeness of the vote caused
many observers to voice the opin-
ion that the question of affiliation
would be re-opened at next year’s
convention.

Denial of aid to
flood victims hit

; HANEY, B.C.

A meeting here last Saturday
night addressed by Hal Griffin,
associate editor of the Pacific
Tribune, protested Labor Minis-
ter Lyle Wicks’ statement made
at an earlier meeting here, that
the provincial government had
no intention of aiding Aloutte
flood victims. :

(“Why should the government
do anything if the people them-
selves don’t care?’”” Wicks said.
“They*ve only raised $1,000.”)

The flood relief fund started
some time ago to raise $90,000
by public subscription is regard-
ed in this district as a diversion-
ary move to relieve public pres-
sure on provincial and federal
governments for assistance to
flood victims.
