menace of atomic war was treat-
ed as an offense under the crimi-
nal code.” We will continue to
exercise our constitutional] rights,
recognizing that they have never
been exercised in a more urgent
or just cause.”

Krehm, in a statement follow-
ing his conviction, said he would
step up his efforts in the petition
campaign. “I now have 1,031 sig-
natures to the petition for peace
and have set myself a target of
2,000 which I now hope to exceed.”

The League for Democratic
Rights in Toronto has also issued
an official protest. “The arrest of
Walter Krehm and the sentence
imposed is not only the concern
of the citizens of Toronto but of
all Canadians,” the LDR state-

ment issued by Mrs. Margaret
Spaulding, president, declared.
“It is an infringement of civil

rights which must be challenged
by citizens all over Canada.” The
statement urged similar protest
action by_all public-spirited orga-
nizations.

Chairman Douglas Hulse of the
Toronto Youth Peace Council cal-
led on Attorney General Dana
Porter to quash the Krehm court
decision in a letter released this
week, and pledged redoubling of
efforts to secure 15,000 ban the

bomb names. Peace Congress of-
ficials urged filing of similar pro-
tests.

“The outstanding victory won
by woodworkers this year was
made possible by the campaign of
the WIUC to unify all woodwork-
ers around the IWA demands,
which culminated in a 77 percent
strike vote conducted by the gov-
ernment, The high degree of soli-
darity built up. between members
of the IWA, WIUC and non-union
woodworkers must be extended to
the point where the industry is
organized 100 percent in the IWA,”
the report stated.

“Honest IWA members will con-
tinue to fight inside their union
to eliminate the blacklist imposed
by a small group of officials on
WIUC members and supporters.
Membership. restrictions, wage
garnishees, amendments to local
bylaws aid the boss and do not

serve the best interests of the
woodworkers.
“In coastal operations where

there are individual and isolated
WIUC members or workers not in
any union, we recommend they im-
mediately seek membership in the
TWA and strive to make their op-
eration 100 percent union.

“In operations where we have a
substantial group of WIUC mem-
bers we recommend that they en-
deavor to enlist the support of
IWA members to have all WIUC
members and those not in any
union admitted to the IWA with
full rights.

“We further recommend that
those woodworkers who do not im-
mediately find their place in the
IWA continue to keep themselves
in good standing with the WIUC
until they have béen accepted into
the IWA, and for this purpose
We propose that the national of-

fice of the WIUC continue to func- _

tion in accordance with resources
until: such time as its continued
existence is no longer needed.”

CITY

Howe, suddenly gave way, plung-
ing them to their deaths on the
street eight storeys below.

The fight for the right to peti-
tion will not be confined to the
courtroom,

Vancouver Peace Assembly is

organizing an East End house-to-..

house canvass with the Stockholm
petition for Wednesday, August
16, at 7 p.m., from Clinton Hall.

On Saturday, August 19, an-
other downtown mass street can-
vass will be held. -

Arrest of the petitioners last
Saturday was done in a manner
which leaves little doubt that it
was part of a deliberate police
commission plan to ban petition-
ers for peace from the streets.

Jack Phillips: was accosted by
Constable Joe Malley at Hastings
and Abbott and told to “move on”,

Why?” said Phillips.

“We've received complaints
from citizens,” said Malley.

“And if I don’t move?” asked
Phillips,

“Tl run you in for obstructing
a police officer,” answered Malley.
Phillips didn’t move, the police
wagon was called, and the trade
union leader spent three hours in
jail before being released on bail.

Mrs. Viola Bianco and Ernest
Lawrie were arrested at Carrall
and Hastings by the same con-
stable. Some 25 citizens had sign-
ed their peace petition when Mal-
ley came up and said, “Are you
people going to move?”

“No,” said Mrs. Bianco.

“No,” said Laurie,

Constable Laurie took hold of
the petitioners and marched them
to a call box. While calling the
wagon, George Daniels’ and his
wife came up and asked to see
the petition. “You can’t see it,”
declared the constable, “these
people are under arrest.”

After the police van arrived,
Malley told Daniels: ‘“You’d bet-
ter move or I’ll arrest you.” As
Daniels turned away the constable
gave him a shove. Daniels said,
“Who’s molesting who?” He was
seized and hustled into the police
wagon.

“Tf you're taking my husband,
you’ve got to take me too,” said
Mrs. Daniels, courageously. They
took her.

“T believe the “right to petition’
is a farce unless one can stand
on a street and ask people to
sign petitions,” Jack Phillips told
the Pacific Tribune this week.
“Over the past 15 years I’ve peti-
tioned for many things — lower
prices, repeal of the sales tax,
housing for veterans, public own-
ership of the BCElectric — but
this is the first time I was ever
interferred with.”

At Labor picnic

Menzies visits:
cily, leaflet
exposes role

Australia’s Prime Minister R.
G, Menzies was given the keys of
the city and made a freeman of
Vancouver when he paid a flying
cne-day Visit ‘here this week, but
the man Australian workers con-
temptuously refer to as “Pig Iron!
Bob” was not too happy about
the reception Canadian workers
gave him.

An editorial in the Vancouver
News-Herald, headed “We like
him and his ideas’, pointed to
Menzies as “the most powerful
and influential man on the anti-
labor side in Australian politics.”

But an LPP leaflet distributed
after Menzies had placed a wreath
on the Cenotaph in Victory Square,
was headed, “Prime Minister Men-
zies: freeman of Vancouver —
servant of Wall Street,” exposing
his role as a labor-hater, warmon-
ger and opponent of democratic

liberties,
é

“The people of Vancouver

have no objection to any one
‘honoring our war dead,” the
, leaflet declared. “But we don’t
want any more war dead. We
don’t want a third world atomic
war which you are trying to
foment.”

This is George Bunka, pro-
fessional grappler who has long
been a favorite of city wrestling
fans. He will take part in a
wrestling exhibition at this Sun-
day’s United Labor Picnic.
