Sub Talk Let’s all do the can-can Dear Reader: Coin collection boxes were mail- ed out to press clubs this week, with the idea in mind that’ this method of saving nickels, dimes and quarters will enable many more Pacific Tribune supporters to become Press Builders — that is, raise $25 or more — during the (March-April financial drive: Some __ boxes are already in use. One reader carries a PT coin box in his ear and “charg- es” his friends a dime every time he gives them a lift. “They don’t mind,” he writes, “for I get them where they’re going quicker and cheaper than the B.C.Electric.” Another couple display a PT col- lection box near their TV set. Peo- ple who drop in to watch a movie on television are asked to donate something for the -paper. The dimes and quarters collected in this way soon add up. Raising $25 becomes a cinch. The boxes we mailed'out aren’t the kind we wanted, because they can only be used once. No matter: fill them up, then open the box with a canopener and send us the money—and we’ll gladly send you another collection box. When the late Franklin D. Roose- velt decided to start a financial campaign to fight infantile paraly- sis, he originally intended to ask 10,000 selected wealthy individuals to give $1,000 apiece. He,was per- suaded, however, to abandon this scheme and ask millions of ordin- ary folk to contribute their dimes. collectors; are setting their sights higher and aiming at $100, the amount needed to become .an Hon- or Press Builder.

This is an aftermath of the abor- tive Steel raid against Mine-Mill, which has resulted in uniting Butte miners around their own union more firmly than ever be- fore. On December 27 Bill Mason, a Mine-Mill official secretly working for Steel, called an illegal meeting of 200 union members and jammed {through a “secession” resolution, ?|then seized the Mine-Mill Hall. A Mine-Mill meeting attended by 1,700 repudiated the action; and | the miners marched through Butte streets to their hall and took pos- session of it again. The judge’s decision emphasizes Steel’s humiliating defeat. As a Butte miner said: “We're sticking with Mine-Mill. We just seceded from Bill Mason.” * * * An application to commit to jail two officials of the Carpenters’ Union, Local 452 (AFL) was dis- missed this week by Mr. Justice Whittaker after he had considered technical objections to the pro- ceedings. Since December 8 electricians and other building trades workers have refused to cross a picket line set up by the carpenters around a building on West Broadway being constructed by Carrie and Hoskins. The contractors sought to jail Walter J. Carrie and Cliff Worth- ington of the union for alleged fail- ure to obey an anti-picketing order made by the judge on January 18. * x x Some 4,500 Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley carpenters seeking a seven-hour, five-day work week with no reduction in take home pay will have to buck a “hold the line’ stand taken this week by General Contractors’ Association. A shorter work week would help to combat rising unemploy- ment among carpenters, say union officials. Negotiations are proceeding, but the employers so far are “hanging tough.” * * * Bartenders have set a_ strike deadline in their dispute with nine city private liquor clubs, but busi- ‘ness agent George Faulkner of Beverage Dispensers Union is keep- ing the date a secret for the pre- sent. Unless the clubs come to terms with union demands it is expected that picket lines will be thrown around premises in two weeks. “Everything in Flowers” FROM... : EARL SYKES 56 E.

Bring this ad with you 752 Granville St. Labor plans joint meet on jobless “Vancouver now has the second highest unemployed population in the country,” secretary-treasurer Vie Forster told delegates to Greater Vancouver and Lower Mainland Labor Council (CCL) on Tuesday this week. With all speakers expressing concern at the growing total of jobless, council decided to hold a joint meeting on the question with the B.C. Trade Union Congress and the B.C. Federation of Labor. * * * > In Toronto last week more than 100 unemployed workers paraded through downtown streets to city hall, where they presented demands for a 50 percent increase in bene- fits, cash relief and jobs. Led by the Union of Unemploy- ed Workers, they packed the pub- lig galleries as their spokesmen asked the board of control to take their demands to the federal gov- ernment and help finance a dele- gation of jobless to Ottawa. x x x In Montreal, Premier Duplessis’ police make almost daily visits to ‘an old converted garage which acts as headquarters for the Conseil des Chomeurs de Montreal (Montreal Council of Unemployed). * The police barge in and take down the names of those present, in an attempt to prevent unemploy- ed from joining the organization. Despite this, membership is al- ready past the 200 mark. * * x In Quebec City an Unemployed Council is now calling attention to the over 17,000 unemployed in the city and demanding a “jobs for all” program from the federal goy- ernment. Some 1,400 workers have been laid off since last November at two shipyards in Lauzon. * * x In Halifax the Nova Scotia Fed- eration of Labor (CCL) has urged a positive program of low-rental housing, new secondary industries and development of power re- sources to combat unemployment. Dr. James Endicott reading the Declaration to the Nation. Congress declaration Peace Council topic “Our aim now is to place before every MP the simple proposal that our parliament and government de- clare that Canada will never be the first to use atomic weapons,” Ray Gardner, chairman, B.C. Peace Council, said this week on his re- turn from the Congress of Support for Negotiated Peace. Gardner will make a full’ report on the Congress to a special all- day session of B.C. Peace Council to be held Sunday, February 14, in Pender Auditorium. The council meeting will discuss the Declaration to the Nation, adopted by 1,500 delegates who attended the Toronto peace Con- gress, text of which reads: A grave danger. threatens our country and every country—every man, woman and child on earth— the danger of the hydrogen bomb. Hope stirs in the hearts of the people because the United States of America and the Soviet Union have begun preliminary negotia- tions on atomic energy. At the same’ time apprehension grows as we see more hydrogen bombs be- ing made—and made to be used. We dare not allow political or religious differences about other questions to prevent us from join- ing together to do all that lies in our power to ensure that the hydro- gen bomb is never used. Canada, herself an important atomic power and a country that is particularly vulnerable in the event of atomic war, should act to break the present deadlock and help to remove the threat that hangs over all mankind. Let the parliament and govern- ment of Canada adopt a solemn resolution that Canada will never be the first to use atomic weapons and stating this country’s readi- ness to join with all countries ir a similar declaration. For the governments to renounce prior resort to atomic weapons in solemn declaration before the peo- ples of the world will establish good faith. It will pave the way for eventual prohibition of all weapons of mass destruction and for the reduction of all armaments under strict in- ternational inspection and control. it will ease tension and improve the atmosphere for solving world problems. It will be.a step towards allow- ing mankind to enjoy the golden benefits of atomic energy for peace- ful purposes. : We call on all Canadians to join in support of this proposal. — Let all who cherish life speak now. : CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING | é A charge of 50 cents for each _insertion of five lines or less with 10 cents’ for each additional line is made for notices appearing in this column.
