Old socialists
to be reunited
at banquet

The grand centennial ban-
quet to honor British Colum-
bia’s socialist pioneers which
will be held Saturday, July: 5,
in the Legion Hall, 2611 West
Fourth Avenue, here promises
to be an outstanding event.

The sponsoring committee in
charge of banquet prepara-
tions has already received
many letters from veteran
socialist pioneers throughout
the province, indicating their
intentions to be present for
the big night.

Other letters from men and
wemen who took an active
part in building the early
labor and socialist organiza-
tion in this province express
regret that because of age and
the infirmities that go with it
they will be unable to attend,
but they send their greetings
to all whe can, expressing the
hope that all will “live to see
the socialist goal reached,
which they dared to work and
hope for, sixty or more years
ago.”

Bob Kydd of Prince Rupert
wrote to the committee:
“Would have liked to have
been with some of my old
comrades, for most of them
are now gone — Fitzgerald,
Kingsley, Kavanagh, and a few
more who were out for the
working class. But you know
how it is with us old fellows.
I’m 82 myself and can’t get
around any more, but will be
with you in spirit on the night
of the pioneers’ banquet.”

This week banquet convener
Duncan McLean urged that all
agencies in charge of banquet
ticket sales send in their re-
ports on the estimated number
of tickets disposed of, in order
that seating arrangements can
be completed. “No tickets will
be sold at the door on the
evening of the banquet,” Mc-
Lean stated. :

ation board report stressed
the high wages of fallers and
buckers, an “average of $32
per day ... individuals earn
as much as $50 or $60 daily,”
it ignored the fact that “sea-
sonal” working time in the
past several years, and in
1958 in particular, has been
the shortest on record.
Should the IWA_ strike
proceed, it will involve some

30,000 workers and bring the
province’s key industry to a
standstill. In the opinion of
many lumber and sawmill
workers, the _ conciliation
board’s majority recommend-
ation is in keeping with the
general policies of big busi-
ness to hold the line on
wages, thereby preserving
high profit levels at the ex-
pense of the working people.
