The most vital element about this world movement is its educa- tional propaganda. The struggle for ideas, as the great Gene Debs once said of the workers’ press: “In this propaganda, the life and breath of the movement, the press is paramount to all other agencies and influences, and the progress of the press is a sure index of the progress of the movement. Further, he said: ‘‘Labor must have a press as formidable as the great movement of the working class requires, to worthily represent it fearlessly and with dignity and uncom- promisingly advocate its oe ae § e thing that stands out in ecocevecesseseesveeeseosser OVALTINE CAFE 251 EAST HASTINGS Vancouver, B.C.

Hastings St., Vancouver 6, B.C. 254-2313 Canada is that we don’t lack potential readers for our paper and with the ‘growing challenge the so-called establishment here is no shortage of struggles between labor and capital and the growing need of a labor paper — the only one left in B.C. to. politically interpret and give a lead to the working class in these growing struggles. It requires some consistent effort on our part, so—‘sit down and write that letter to a friend or relative asking them to subscribe to the P.T. or get on the phone like the commercial companies do for a telephone canvass. Better still pay a visit © to that friend and relative and shopmate and sell them a sub. You will find it most inspiring when in, the process of this important political act, (selling the paper) you are required to ‘answer questions that are bothering the people. When there are struggles as there were last summer, between capital and labor, the total propaganda media of Big Business volleys and thunders against labor and its unions and its leaders who dare to breathe against the sacred rights of capital. In such a contest labor is dumb, speechless without a voice of its own. Down through history the lesson has to be taught in all languages and written in the blood of countless martyrs. Labor needs and must have a strong and powerful voice to speak out for its own class interests. Let’s all get on with the job. CORRECTION In the story ‘‘Time Lost by Injuries,”’ in last week’s issue, a line was inadvertently left out, changing the meaning of the paragraph. It. should have read, ‘‘Safety men in woodworking unions say seminars such as that held in Penticton have a value but too much stress is put by WCB spokesmen on the respon- sibility of the worker on the job and not enough on responsibility ‘of management to provide safe working conditions.” Beaver Transfer * Moving * Packing * Storage 573 East Hastings St. Phone 254-3711 scrap it next week!’’ Rush that top secret government job... the Navy is schedu ed: to Bookstore launches drive for $10,000 A campaign to raise $10,000 in additional share capital and don- ations was approved by share- holders of the People’s Coopera- tive Bookstore Association at the recent annual meeting. “Over the past few years, publishing houses in the socialist countries, many of which the Association represents in this country, have greatly increased . their range of titles and improved the quality of their production,’’ store manager Osmo Lahti told the Pacific Tribune this week. “To “stock sufficient titles to meet both the retail and wholesale demand requires a substantial new investment in ~ inventory which cannot be met out of our present resources. The success of the campaign authorized by our annual meeting will determine our ability to expand our sales and fulfil our obligation to our mem- bers and the progressive move- ment generally.” The campaign opened on Oc- tober 1 with some $2,000 already pledged and will continue until November 15.
