Two gillnet fishermen, Frank Toshio Yamasaki and Kelly Ta- kashj Hamaura, took action against union leaders in the Su- ipreme Court of British Columbia this week. ‘ “Without going into detail on ithe matter,” says a union state- ment, “the text of the statement of claim’makes it clear that what is at stake is: y The right of the’ fisher- * men to organize a union (the Court is asked to dissolve

their union’ as an ‘unlawful conspiracy, association and combine’).

‘2 The right of the fisher- * men to strike (the Court is asked to declare that a strike to maintain last year’s prices makes the Fishermen’s Union an unlawful combine within the meaning of the Combines In- vestigation Act of pees ot The right of the fisher- * men to peacefully picket

(injunction against all picket-

ing of the plaintiffs was grant-

ed by Mr. Justice Clyne on Sep-

tember 19, 1952).”

The Vancouver, New Westmin- ster District Trades and Labor (Council has voted “full support 'to the fishermen in their strug- gle” and thas called on federal and provincial governments “to immediately take action to ‘over- come ‘the problems of marketing the B.C. canned salmon pack.’

UFPAWU secretary; Fred Fieber, district ‘vice-president, Interna- tional Woodworkers of America; Tom ‘Goode, MP for Burnaby Richmond; and two members of the fishermen’s strike committee, Harold Wilcox and Mike Canic. One resolution expressed ‘‘full support of the fishermen in their strike, and in ‘their right 'to or- ganize, to strike, and to picket for their just cause.” z Another resolution requested ‘the provincial government “to call the legislative assembly into session to pass a law which

injunction against peaceful pitc- keting by a court.in any dispute ibetween employers and organiz- ed trade unions.”

The audience voted concur- rence in a key resolution asking ‘the federal government to:

“FIRST: Take emergency ac- tion to provide practical assis- tance in the financing and stor- age of the canned salmon carry- over and in the marketing of the pack to meet government- subsidized competition.

“SECOND: Submit proposals to the coming Commonwealth conference in London which will remove all currency res- trictions in trade between Can- ada and the sterling countries and to take all measures nec-

canned salmon pack at least the same volume export to Britain as in 1951.

Tom Goode, MP, while dissoci- ating himself from ‘the strike, gave support ‘to the idea of solv- ing the market problems of the industry. . J

Messages. from several MP's and MLA’s were read to the aud- |ience, including ‘one from E. E. Winch, veteran MLA for Burn- aby, which said, in part:

“. . .if there is no local or overseas market able to absorb the catch on the usual commer-

cial basis then—without hesi- tation — the provincial or fed- | eral government or.both, in combination if necessary, should acquire same and make. it as a gift to the pedple of Great Britain.”

By BERT WHYTE

ATHER TIME and Rocky Marciano were both in that Philadelphia ring battling Jersey Joe Walcott on Tuesday night, and it would have ‘been a miracle had the champ beaten the pair of them. He nearly did at that. Going into the fatal thirteenth the old pappy guy was well ahead on points and his legs seemed as springy as ever. :

Then it happened. ,

Bleeding from a cut between the eyes and another high up on his head, forward-moving Rocky found the opening hhe’d been looking for ‘and let fly his “Suzie Cue” punch, an overhand right to the jaw. Walcott’s eyes went

?

The Brockton belter = hooked with a left and it was all © over,

Make no mistake. It was Mar- ciano, not Father Time, who wrote finis to Jersey Joe's career. Red- hot Rocky may well be the best ‘heavyweight, with the exception) of incomparible Joe Louis, to crawl between the ropes since the golden era of Jack Dempsey.

Lots of people, in fact, liken Rocky’s crouching, aggressive F style of fighting to Dempsey’s

famous bobbing, weaving attack. But if they think Marciano is consciously trying to ape the Manassa Mauler’s technique, they’re wrong. A's Rocky himself said re- cently:

“I was a pretty good ballplayer at one time, good enough _ to get an offer ffom the Chicago Cubs as a catcher, and I picked up my crouch ‘from ‘squatting behind the plate. Ernie

‘LLombardi was always my idol and I tried to imitate the way the

rifled.a ball to second squatting on his haunches. I carried the

crouch over into boxing when I flopped as a diamond ‘prospect.

“I never ‘ried to imitate Dempsey. As a matter of ‘fact, if I had tried to imitate anybody, it would have been Joe Louis, who was always my idol in and out of the ring. I only hope I can do as much for boxing as the did. I know that’s a big order, but

Tl try my best.”

A good-natured, cleamliving athlete who neither drinks nor smokes, Marciano should prove a popular champ and a credit to the ringi game. Little Charlie Goodman, the ace trainer who keeps Rocky in shape and orders ‘him around Jike a soldier on parade. (he doesn’t allow ‘the Rock ‘to see ‘his wife for six to eight weeks. before a fight) can be depended upon to continue the ‘Spartan. program that brought the Brockton boy from obscurity to the heavyweight throne. Although he’s 28, Rocky should have several good years ahead of him before some younger man lifts the crown: from his brow. Beat

While hailing Marciano, let’s say a fond farewell to that amaz- ing antique of ‘fistiano, Jersey Joe Walcott. Whether Joe retires for not, he’s not likely to break the comeback jinx which has pre- vented any heavyweight champ from ever regaining the title after _

NEW CHA)

| losing it. Ait 38 (which he insists is his correct age) Walcott is

still a fine piece of fighting machinery, and he put up a grand effort in defense of his championship. )

' Waleott doesn’t rank with great heavyweights of the past, ‘but until Marciano came along with dynamite in his fists, Jersey — Joe proved himself better than any of his challengers.

Who were the greatest of the heavyweight champs? A de- batable question, but since ‘barekknuckle contests gave way to modern boxing, some of the outstanding ‘title-holders* have been Jim Corbett, Jim Jeffries, Jack Johnson, Jack Dempsey and Joe Louis. Alongside these must be placed the names of two Negro ‘boxers who were denied title shots—Peter Jackson and Sam Langford. :

_ Wil Rocky Marciano move into this select company? Time ‘will decide, but one thing is sure—the new champion won't fail for lack of trying. ‘

Rocky, whose real names is Rocco Marchegiano, is described ‘by Jhis manager, Al Weill, in his purest New Yorkese: “A nice

preciates the buck more than almost anything else. Them type guys is hard to get out there. You want to look out for them young ‘broke fighters.” Weill, commonly known as The Vest (“The coat and pants do all the work but The Vest gets all the gravy”) ‘thas quite a liking for the buck ‘himself. With Weill plotting his championship career and Doctor Good- man keeping him in shape, Rocky Marciano may yet go down in

history as one of the squared circle’s most illustrous heavyweight titleholders. i
