UNEMPLOYED AND KIDNAPPING

ENDING before nation-wide protest, the

Liberal government of Mackenzie King abolished Section 98 of the Criminal Code. But the Liberal government of Premier Hepburn ot Ontario has found another section to provide legal covering for a reign of terror against hungry unemployed workers who protest against further reduction in the already meagre reliet allowances.

The section being used by Hepburn against the working class is Section 297, dealing with the crime of kidnapping. When unemployed workers, protesting against relief cuts, detained two reeves of municipalities until the cuts were withdrawn, 33 of them were arrested in mid- night raids by police and charged with the crime of kidnapping, which upon conviction carries a maximum penalty of 25 years’ imprisonment.

Hepburn was swept into office on a_ wave of mass protest against the reactionary Henry- Price government, and by the use of Hepburn’s notorious demagogy. The use of Section 98 by the Henry-Price gang against the Communist Party in 1931, in a fruitless effort to destroy it, contributed greatly to the Tory defeat. The use of the kidnapping section of the Criminal Code by the Hepburn-Croll outfit will help drive it out of office.

Hepburn has signally failed to solve the problem of unemployment, despite all his lying promises, just as Pattullo’ failed to provide work and wages, and as the King government has failed completely to provide work for the unem- ployed, but has succeeded in cutting relief appropriations.

Hepburn is attempting to stifle the erowine mass protest against his program of increasing hunger. His weapon is terror, but he will find that in the face of his terror the workers will unite their forces to meet it and he will not succeed.

In this province the lead given in 1931 by the Ontario government was followed by Pat- tullo, who also used Section 98, and now that that weapon was torn from the hands of the ruling class, he will try to follow the Hepburn lead and invoke the Kidnapping Section of the Criminal Code and the remaining anti-labor sections. For Pattullo will attempt relief cuts, if he believes he can get away with it.

The time to organize against relief cuts in this province is now, and also to organize and. amite to meet and repulse the offensive which Pattullo and Sloan may attempt to launch.

PATTULLO’S STRIKEBREAKERS

ALMON fishermen (gillnetters and seimers) and cannery workers of B.C. are on strike for an increase from 40 cents to 50 cents a fish. The bosses are determined not to pay the in- erease, although well able to do so and still make a handsome profit, for the small independent eanners have declared that they can pay the higher prices.

The fish canning industry is almost wholly owned and controlled by the powerful Cana- dian Fish Company, a subsidiary of the power- ful Wall Street-owned monopoly, the New Eng- land Fish Company, and is atfiliated to the Canadian Manufacturers’ Association.

The offer of the low price of 40 cents a fish with the threat of closing down the industry if it is not accepted is a continuation of the well- planned and well-organized scheme to smash ¢rades unionism on the Pacific Coast, a contin- uation of the work begun by the Shipping Fed- eration in 1935.

The Pattullo government is acting true to the despicable strikebreaking role it played in the Slave Camp and Longshore struggles. The in- famous provincial police are on the scene with their provocation, and have entered the struggle as open recruiters of scabs, posting up notices assuring potential scabs that they will be on their side if they go to work. The fishermen and cannery workers tear down the scab- recruiting notices as fast as they are put up.

The C.C.F., the Communist Party and all trade unions should bombard Pattullo and Sloan with protests against the use of their un- iformed scab-herders against the workers who are struggling for a decent living, and demand that they be withdrawn from the scene of the strugele.

ALBERTA C.C.F. FOR UNITED FRONT ' A GAINST the offensive of the capitalist

class expressed in the well organized at- tack against trades unionism, in relief cuts, in evictions of the families of workers, in the grad- nal encroachment on civil and democratic rights,

in the whole program of reaction. the workers and progressive people are turning in increasing numbers to unity.

When the Communists, who first saw the danger of growing reaction, made sincere pro- posals for a United Front against it. many lead- ers of working class organizations saw, or ariect- ed to sce. in the proposals a “Communist trick,’” and did their utmost to keep labor divided and helpless. And many rank and file workers either supported those leaders’ splitting policy or made no effort to establish unity with the Communist Party.

The growing boldness of reaction, however, is working a deep-going change in the ranks of labor. This change is most noticable in the members and in many leaders ot the C.C.F., although some leaders at the top still repeat the old areuments against unity, one of which is the false one that the C.C.F. itself provides the means for the United Front.

The value of the United Front in France and Spain in blocking the advance of fascism, and the gains to the workers from the United Front in Windsor, Regina and other places m Canada ——a]] this, as well as the demonstrated unselfish sincerity of the Communists in their proposals for unity, has had its effect in breaking down much of the opposition to the United Front in Canada.

The more tolerant and friendly attitude of the G.C.F. (B.C. Section) expressed in the recent provincial convention, and its definite move toward unity, was followed this week by the decision of the Alberta C.C.F. conyention to begin negotiations with the Communist Party with a view to effecting affiliation.

These progressive steps toward unity is as encouraging to the exploited and oppressed people of Canada as they are discouraging to the forces of reaction.

The march towards the united anti-capitalist front goes on despite the howls of the infuriated agents of reaction who see im the erowing wnity movement an effective obstacle to their netar- fous designs. Although a few timid leaders may become panic-stricken by the strident Red-bait- ine, the great mass in the ©.C.F. and trades unions will respond with still greater unity, a more powerful United Front, for they know that the way to scotch incipient fascism is by united struggle, and not by capitulation to appease the enemies of the people who with every retreat of the workers advance with inereased boldness their program of hunger, mereiless exploitation, fascism and war-

CRAFT VS. INDUSTRIAL UNIONISM

TITANIC struggle is being waged in the.

trade union movement of the United States on the issue of Crait Unionism vs. Tndus- trial Unionsm. The forees of conseryvativism are led by William Green, successor to Sam Gompers as president of the American Federa- tion of Labor, and the forces of progress are led by John L. Lewis, president of the powertul jndustrial union, the United Mine Workers ot Aamieriea.

Tt has been abundantly proven that the worl= ers in the mass production industries can not be organized into craft unions. Tm such indus- tries as steel, rubber, metal, textile, and in the automobile industry, the workers can be organ- ized only upon an industrial basis—all workers jn a given industry to be in one union, instead of those of each trade or craft in an industry being split up and placed into a score or more different local unions with fellow craftsmen of other industries.

Green is a reactionary labor leader who clings stubbornly to the outworn forms of erait union- ism which have served their purpose, but which no longer suit in this period of machine mass production. As president of the A.F.of L. he wields great power and is using it, to the extent of threatening the splitting of the labor move- ment, to prevent any further progress toward industrial unionism.

John L. Lewis is the leader of the Committee for Industrial Organization, which has been set up by the officials of eight or ten powertul international unions affiliated to the A.F.of L., and embracing approximately one million work- ers of the A.F.of L.’s three and a half million affiliated members.

The powerful steel corporations are support ing Green and fighting against Lewis, who has set as the first task of the C.I.O. the organiza- tion of the half-million unorganized workers in the steel industry. With Green there are arrayed against Lewis such “friends” of the working elass as America’s Puble Enemy No. 1, William Randolph Hearst, the fascist American Liberty League and every other enemy of the working class.

John L. Lewis has often done things which wwere not in the interest of the workers, and he has been denouneed, and quite properly, for those actions. He still opposes the formation of a Farmer-Labor Party and supports the cor- rnpt millionaire-controlled Democratic Party. He is still unfriendly to the Soviet Union. But at_the same time he wants to organize the maiil- lions of workers in the basic industries, and he wants to organize them into industrial unions. This being so, he represents progress and is de- serving all revolutionary and progressive sup- port and should receive it.

The World This Week

By F. B.

With startling unanimity observ- ers of BHuropean affairs state that Europe is in a far worse condition than it was in 1914, some even go- ing so far as to say that war can- not be much longer delayed.

To dismiss such views as “alarm- ist’’ would be extremely foolish. It would be much wiser, indeed it is imperative, to sound the alarm louder than has heretofore been done in order that ever wider circles of the people be aroused to the great danger that confronts them. This grave danger is the possibility of world domination by the Fasc- ists.

The principle of collective secur- ity as embodied in the League of Wations seems to have been thrown into the discard and replaced by the idea of individual security express- ed in an intensification of arma- ment building. What destroyed the principle of collective security? Litvinoff, Soviet Minister of Hor- eign Affairs, says that it was de- stroyed by the overwhelming fear of a great danger. He meant the direct menace of a rearmed Nazi Germany, from which no country is safe. The capitalist nations which nursed and cherished the Nazi regime from its infancy sowed the wind; now they are terrified at the prospect of reaping a whirlwind, and instead of jointly erecting a giant stockade around Germany during the past three years, they are all now on the spot, and in a panie of fear each is trying to bar its Own door. The breakdown of collective security may lead to the greatest tragedy in human history, the triumph of Fascism.

The French government has pro- posed a system of regional pacts, supervised by the League of Na- tions, intended to link economic and military sanctions against an aggressor. It proposes, too, the elimination from the League Coyv- enant of the article that says a unanimous yote is’ necessary on measures required to safeguard peace. The League of Nations As- sembly does not meet again until September, when no doubt these proposals will be discussed, but in the meantime the world may go up in flames.

While the democratic countries of Europe, in spite of the oft-repeated warnings of the Soviet Union, have failed to unite against the Fascist menace in a practical system of eollective security, the Fascist na- tions of Hurope have united in an alliance of collective aggression.

Wazi Germany and Fascist Italy ‘have settled their differences over the control of Austria, and have united with themselves Poland, Fin- land, Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria, Jugo-Slavia and Roumania, in what they hypocritically call a peace pact. This “peace pact” brings the danger of war to our very doors, and anyone who says that this move is directed against Soviet Union alone is hiding his head in the sand, refusing to think when the elearest of thinking is necessary.

Nazi Germany is not turning out submarines on a mass production seale, she is not fortifying Helio- land and other nearby islands for use against the Soviet Union. These measures are for war against Bri- tain and France, and, it would be foolish to ignore it, against Can- ada. italy and Germany plan to smash Britain and France and bring all their colonies and domin- ions under their Fascist rule.

The press reports that Britain, apparently awakened to the dan- ger at last, is exchanging military information and secrets with the Soviet Union, France and Czecho- Slovakia. This is all to the good; let us hope this step has not been taken too late.

Futile pacifism, which sits with folded arms waiting for the sunrise, is in effect an aid to the Fascists. The task facing the people of the democratic countries is to prevent the sun setting on what is left of democratic institutions.

As a preparatory and preliminary step for the great life-and-death struggle that lies ahead, and which at present appears so inevitable, the Canadian people should demand with one voice that the Federal Government take immediate steps to investigate and disband all Fasc- ist organizations, including the Na- tionalist Party. They should fur- ther demand that the Wascist periodicals be suppressed and that Fascist radio orators be muzzled.

By BARRY POLLITT.

The decision of the National Gov- ernment to abandon sanctions against Italy has evoked a sterm of indignation against this latest proof that the National Government is the greatest friend and supporter of fascist aggression.

The whole situation lends point to the growing belief that the peace of the world is not safe until the National Government has been de- feated. This is perhaps the right moment to recapitulate the history of the policy of the National Goy- ernment in relation to the Abys- Sinian situation. 2

It will be remembered that at the League of Nations Council Assembly last September, Sir Samuel Hoare, then Foreign Secretary of the Na- tional Government, made a speech which won for the National Goy- ernment a widespread conviction that peace was safe in its hands. Hoare’s speech won the applause of practically every section of the press of this country.

This declaration deceived millions of people who had taken part in the Peace Ballot that had been organ- ized in the summer of 1935, and in accordance with this trend of pub- lic opinion, we find that Mr. Neville Chamberlain, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, on October 14, 1935, de- claring the following:

“Tf the League were to abdicate its functions under the Covenant, every weak nation would first be- gin to arm, then to seek alliance with its strongest néighbor, and before lone the peace of Hurope would be at the mercy of the bis- gest and strongest Powers of Europe.”

Tory Peace Propaganda

Shortly after this came the an- nouncement of the General Hlection, All government propaganda and speeches were directed towards pre- tending that they were the custo- dians of peace, and in particular that they looked upon the violation of the independence of Abyssinia as something that could not be toler- ated.

It was on this basis that the Gen- eral Election was won by the Na- tional Government and a new lease of power secured. It was not longs before the government showed its hand, and did everything possible to try and rescue Mussolini from the bad position he was in at that time in Abyssinia.

It has always done everything in its power to buttress up a fascist country and hep save a fascist country from collapse, in the hope that some time a fascist country Will be strong enough to carry out a war of intervention against the Soviet Union. It was this which luy behind the National Government policy of support for Japan in Manchuria, and explains its pro- Hitler policy.

Eden’s Pose

When in December, 1935, Italy was experiencing very acute diffi- eulties in Abyssinia, and a resolute operation of economic and financial sanctions, and especially of oil sauc- tions, could have easily terminated war at that moment, the MHoare- Laval Pact was signed. Immediately throughout Britain there surged a wave of indignation which compelled the National Government to throw Hoare temporarily on one Side.

Eden was chosen to stave off the whole popular indignation against the National Government, and to raise false hopes that now a resolute policy in accordance with the de- mands of the people would be car- ‘ried out.

It soon became clear that Eden was to be the pliant and willing tool of Baldwin. It was the National Government which now commenced to sabotage with all the powers av its command any suggestion for the application of oil sanctions. It was known that countries that were not members of the League of Nations like the United States of America, would support an embarge on oil. The main aim of the National Gov- ernment is proved. by the instruc- tions to Eden that whilst he must pose as a League of Nations man, he must remember that Britain was not interested in bringing about the defeat of Mussolini, and because of this policy nothing of an effective character was done.

Wo Practical Step Taken

Then, as Italy commenced to re- cover from its previous bad position in Abyssinia by the use of the most devilish means of modern warfare, again a great ery went up in this country that something must he done in order to stem these atro-

mass indignation, Anthony Eden, on behalf of the Na- tional Government, addressing the League of Nations Council, said on April 20:

“So far as His Majesty's govern- ment is concerned, we propose to maintain those economic and financial sanctions which hare

Abandonment of Sanctions

| certain that by

dition, His Majesty’s government are ready and prepared to consider the imposition of any further economic and financial sanctions that may =be considered effective for the settlement of the dispute,’

Wot one single practical step was

taken towards the carrying out of such a policy. Finally Italy entered Addis Ababa, and a widspread propaganda began to develop amongst all the pro- fascist forces of Britain that a new Situation had arisen, that the Italian occupation of Abyssinia was an accomplished fact, and that steps should now be taken to reverse our policy.

WMiussolini and Chamberlain How sure Mussolini was that he had nothing to fear from the Na- tional Government is best judged by the fact that immediately after the Italian flag was flying over Addis Ababa, he sent his representative, Signor Pirelli, to address a meeting in the House of Commons in Lon- don the object of which was to try to persuade responsible people to use their influence for the launch- ing of an Italian loan in order to help Mussolini jut of the acute economic and financial crisis which he was facine in Italy itself.

We had not long to wait before the National Government showed its hand. This government which at Geneva had pretended to be the foremost advocate of the sanctity of the Covenant, this government which won power by deceiving mil- lions of peace-loving people, sent the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Neville Chamberlain, to a well- known Tory club, and at this club he made his famous speech demand- ing the ending of sanctions against Italy and declaring it to be “‘mid- summer madness” that they should be continued.

Fear Leftward Swing

Once again public opinion in Bri- tain was outraged, but the National Government came out with its whole policy at the debate at the House of Commons last week, when Eden presented a sorry spectacle in hay- ing to admit that he sponsored the policy of the National Government in their decision to end sanctions against Italy. It is becoming clearer every day that the foreign policy of the Na- tional Government is based on an alliance with Italy and Germany in the hope that this alliance will be able to stem and intimidate the great Leftwurd swing of the work- ing masses that is now sweeping throughout Europe. Wow the policy of the government is perhaps seen more openly than at any time since it took power. Cer- tainly the danger of this govern- ment is now more widely recognized than ever before. If unity were es- ‘tablished in the working-class move- ment, if on this basis a nation-wide

campaign were organized whieh would attract to its support all

those people who desire peace, it is the most intense forms of mass activity the National government could be swept from power and a Labor Government elected. Under the pressure of the masses, such a government would ally itself closely with the MLeft soyernment of France, with the So- viet government, and the collective power of these three countries would then be sufficient to deter any further acts of fascist aggression and become the basis for a real strengthening of the principle of eollective security.

COMMENDATION FOR 6-PAGE B.C. W. NEWS

Many favorable comments on our 6-pase C.CF. convention issue both by callers to our of- jice and by letters have rewarded our efforts to give the publie 2 full and true report of the C.C.F- convention,

Wews-stands were quickly sold out, and had their supply replen- ished. Street salesmen substantial- Iy increased their sales, and there has been a parallel imcrease in bundle orders. Though 800 more copies were printed than the former issue, the supply has been used up.

From one up country ugent we received the following wire: “In- crease my bundle to 50 copies un- til further orders;” from Victoria a letter, which said in part: “Rush fifteen more copies, Increase my bundle to 100.” From Salmon Arm,

similar orders from different points. “The B.C. Workers’ News” ap-

By OL’ BILL : if we read the Romantic capitalist presse Spots. with a discerning

eve we often dis- cover the truth in ways and places not intended by the hacks who selb their talents to the Cromies, the Southams and the Hearsts. For in- stance, in the Vancouver “Sun” of June 24th is a full page of paid-for blurbs, advertising Romantic Spots of BG. Three columns of this tripe is donated to boosting the wares of Wanaimo business men. A three- column screamer informs us that “They Nestle Amid Glorious Scen= ery,” and a tywo-column sub-head under that advises us that they arc “Progressive, Charming Spots for Visitors,’ and the first of these charming spots, nestling amid glor— jous scenery is “Chapman's Fun— eral Home.”

If we smile at this we may be doing the writer an injustice as he may think that the visitors are en~ titled to as much consideration as the natives. And if he knows any~ thing of the history of the Vancou— ver Island coal miners he undoubt— edly would place a funeral home as the most restful and desirable place in Nanaimo.

In the eighty years that coal has been mined in’ that district, for the miners the most dangerous coak field in the world, dangerous be- cause of the greed of the mine own- ers, the lives of hundreds of miners have been snuffed out and as little thought given to them as though they were dogs. Miners have been killed in gas explosions, as many 25 4148 in one case at Protection, and when gas-committee men reported fas, as required by law, they have been fired and blacklisted; miners have been drowned like rats, as at South Wellington through en=- eroachment on old flooded work= ings; they have been precipitated in cages and buckets to their death at the bottom of the shafts through the breaking of rotten cable and purned to a cinder in mine fires, all so that Robert Dunsmuir could have Dunsmuir Castle built for him and Alex Dunsmuir could live 2 life of profligacy in New York; that the Western Fuel Go. could pile up profits for American shareholders and that MacKenzie and Mann could unload on English inyestors for 15 million dollar properties that cost them ii millions.

The “Sun” story comes near the truth on the second reading; 2 funeral home is a “charming spot” if mot for the visitors at least for the miners of Nanaimo, Ladysmith, Wellington, Extension and Cumber— land.

It was undoubtedly the philos- ophy of the Vancouver Island mine owners the makeup man on the “Province” had in mind when he used another unintentional truth as a filler on the religious page OD May 23rd last, that read: “Enter the Open Door, Worship, Rest, Prey!”

Lumbering is an- other industry that places smalk store on the lives of the workers who make it pos- sible for the lumber barons to puild castles and live riotously. We are not many moons removed front the day when the local press used to report that “The Cassiar left yesterday for Jervis Inlet with 15 passengers and 24 loggers.” A log- ger was to them a “timber beast” dressed in a wooly shirt, stag-pants and caulke shoes and nothing more, Tf it was not for the blacklist little would be known of the lumber- worker even yet by the bosses who exploit them.

We have all read of “the body of a logger” killed by a rolling log, 2 widow-maker snag, or a snapped line, brought to town, to learn that “nothing was known of him.” The newspapermen write “It is believed he had a father and mother. He is thought to have been a Swede and his age appears to be about 30. But nothing else is known about him.”

Wo! nothing is known about him except that he is dead. And if last year had 65 weeks in it instead of 52 there would still have been one lumber-worker killed every week in the year.

A power in the Roman Catholic Church in Amer- ica has just pass ed on to the arms of Jesus, the Prince of Peace. Not a red-hatted cardinal, used to blistering the heretics with a withering tongue in the name of Him who taught his followers to beat their swords into plowshares, nor a lowly priest addicted, by the same token, to chastening the recalcitrants among his flocks with a stick, but a cul- tured gentleman who devoted his time to the betterment of humanity jin the mame of Jesus, who orig- inated the slogan, “Love ye one an- other’’—the Rev. Dr. Julius Arthur Wieuwland, chemist, priest of the Roman Catholic Congregation of the Holy Cross, onetime Dean of the University of Notre Dame Col- lege of Science.

Society is richer since he lived. In his religiously cultured way he emulated both the lordly cardinal and the humble parish priest. We, heretic and Catholic alike, will mot lose either the blistering or the ehastening as his chemical Te- searches gave to mankind “Lewis- ite” (the deadliest of war gases).
