Courtenay Has New Auxiliary

COURTENAY, B.C. — An important step forward towards organization of the lumber industry was taken on Sun- day, Feb. 1, when a large group of women from this district, mainly loggers’ wives, gathered together and formed themselves into a Ladies’ Auxiliary to Local 1-80 of the International Wood- workers of America.

After a very interesting outline of the need for an auxiliary to assist local unions, all those present took the oath, paid their initiations and elected officers for the coming year’s business.

On Feb. 15, another meeting of the Ladies’ Auxiliary is scheduled for the purpose of installing the charter. Mrs. Owen Brown, president of the Cowichan Ladies’ Auxiliary to Local 1-80, and Mrs. Harold Pritchett, president of the Ladies’ Auxiliary to Local 1-71 in Vancouver, have been invited as guests of honor.

To Brother Don Barbour, International Organizer of the IWA and to his wife, Pearl Barbour, we owe a debt of grati- tude for their tireless efforts in helping us to organize or auxiliary in the Courtenay district.

Sec, Ladies’ Auxiliary to Local 1-80, IWA.

Millworkers Have Received — No Cost-of-Living ‘Bonus

To the Editor:

I take the opportunity of writing on the question of organizing. We have an employees’ association which is absolutely of no use to us. The employees consist of three

groups, factory, yard, and mill. We have had no raise in wages since

the war started, and no bonus to date. A few in the mill got a slight raise but not enough. All the men in the yard and most of the mill only get 40 cents per hour, which is not enough at the present time when we have rent to pay and families to keep and at the present high level of prices.

‘We would all be glad to do our part in the war effort if we could, but at the wages we are getting we have just a bare existence. It makes us feel as though We were backsliders when someone comes to our homes for Victory Loan and we have to say no because we haven't enough.

Now! Some of us want to organize and we want to know the proper way to go about it, so we are asking your consideration on the matter. We want

no man shall lose his job over it, VANCOUVER MILLWORKER.

Funds Urgent To “Keep *Em Sailing” |

There is an urgent need for funds | _ to meet payments on the money hor. rowed to purchase the “Annart.” | There have been no donations received during the month of January. Yester- day in response to the appeal made two issues ago in the B.C. Lumber Worker, we received a further dona- | tion of $10 from one of our members who has already donated liberally to the boat fund.

We are now directly appealing to the loggers working in the Salmon River Logging Co. Pioneer Timber Co., all the B.&K. Camps, and the O’Brien Camp at Stillwater. We have to date not received any donations from these camps.

Send your donations through NOW and keep ’em sailing!
