stretch: $19,000 to go

The front page message from our editor places squarely
the job that has to be done in the next two weeks. We need

minimum of $19,177 to put us over the top.

Our congratulations to those clubs who have made their
targets, but it is clear from the scoreboard below that there
aren’t enough clubs to their target yet. And even then, all
clubs must go over their target by an average of 15 percent!
In the race for club honors, Coquitlam and Penticton
clubs are in the lead among those outside of Vancouver,
while Vancouver East looks good in the City for the mo-
Ment, with a 25 percent bulge on its target.
Tickets are now on sale for the victory banquet . . . Get
yours early and spread the word. The banquet is always a
gala event and we’re planning a real celebration.
Remember, there is just two weeks till the banquet. Let’s
make sure that is is a real victory banquet.

Thank you for $34,823

NDP, CP press Chile junta
for release of information

Continued from pg. 1

On June 1, in Santiago, three wo-
men, including Pablo Neruda’s
widow, Matilde Urrutia, and Ana
Gonzalez, who testified in Toronto
last October about her missing
husband, staged a 24-hour hunger
strike in the U.S. Embassy to press
the demand for information about
the prisoners.

And from virtually every
country throughout the world,
thousands of letters, telegrams and
resolutions had demanded of Pino-
chet that he speak out on the dis-
appeared, many of whom have

Ont. police
club injured

TORONTO — Metropolitan po-
lice beat injured workers with billy
clubs May 29 when: demonstrators
from the Union of Injured Workers
attempted to enter government
buildings to speak with Ontario
labor minister Bette Stephenson.

Seven were arrested and one was
sent to hospital with severe head
wounds after being beaten by
about 30 club-swinging police who
descended on the protesters as
they attempted to enter the
Ministry of Labor building.

The demonstrators wanted to air
their four-point program for
justice from the Ontario Work-
men’s compensation Board. The
program included: :

.e Job security or full compensa... .. argument..that.it..destroys, .only «

tion, the guarantee of a job with the
employer where the accident
occurred or a pension equal to their
wages at the time of the accident;

e Cost of living increases on
pensions;

e The right of injured workers to
treatment by doctors of their own

-choice, and the abolition of WCB

doctors whose main efforts,
demonstrators claimed, have been
directed to saving the WCB
money;

© The enforcement of existing
safety laws and the enactment of
better ones.

workers in Toronto, London,

been missing since the fascist coup
of September 11, 1973.

In this province, about 100 people
gathered for a rally Friday night in
support of the hunger strikers at
the Canadian Memorial Church in
Vancouver. Two of the strikers ad-
dressed the rally, organized by the
Committee for the 2,500 Disap-
peared Prisoners of Chile, and em-
phasized that their action was
“only a small part of what was
going on around the world and in
Chile.”’

B.C. Federation of Labor
president George Johnston, Van-
couver alderman Harry Rankin
and lawyer Elspeth Gardner,
president of the Canadians for
Democracy in Chile, were also
introduced at Friday’s rally to
indicate their support for the
hunger strikers’ demand.

Both the New Democratic Party
and the Communist Party voiced
the demand that the Chilean junta

release the information. In Vic-
toria, the NDP caucus issued
telegrams to the junta, to the
United Nations, to the federal
Department of External Affairs
and to the Chilean consulate.

The Communist Party pledged
its support of the demand that the
junta reveal the whereabouts and
condition of the 2,500 missing
political prisoners and added that
Canadians can best act in
solidarity with the hunger strikers
by getting as many Canadians as
possible to express their support of
the demand for information.

Provincial Communist Party

leader Maurice Rush also called on
the federal government to demand
publicly that Pinochet give an
immediate accounting in respect to
the missing persons.

“The mass violations of human
rights in Chile should be strongly
condemned by the Canadian
government,’ Rush said.

City opposes N-Bomb

Vancouver city council has
joined with municipal councils
across Canada and millions around

the world in demanding the rejec--

tion of the neutron bomb.

At its regular meeting May 30,
city council adopted a resolution
that characterized the neutron
bomb as a “dangerous escalation
of the nuclear arms race.

“Tt cannot be justified by the
not in-

living beings and

stallations,”’ the resolution said.

Citing the actions of the Parlia-
ments of four NATO nations — the
Netherlands, Denmark, Norway
and Iceland — and the United
Nations special conference on dis-
armament, the resolution called on
“the prime minister and the
Parliament of Canada to oppose
the deployment of the neutron
bomb by NATO and to ask
President Carter.to stop. its
production.”
