Teachers sever

tie with

labor

By the narrowest of margins, 304 votes to 275, the B.C. Teachers’ Federation voted at the closing sessfon of its four- day convention here last week to sever its 13-year affiliation with the Trades and Labor Congress of Canada.

Ironically, the issue of the federation’s continued affiliation with organized labor might not have arisen had it not been for the merger this month of the Trades and Labor Congress and the Canadian Congress of Labor necessitating a decision on the federation’s relationship to the new Canadian Labor Congress.

Although a great deal was

made of “professionalism” by op- ponents of labor affiliation, the Vancouver Secondary Teachers’ Association, composed of univer- sity graduates, favored continua- tion of the 'federation’s tie with labor.

Main opposition came from the Vancouver Elementary Teachers’ Association, whose 750 members sent the largest group of dele- gates to the convention. Dele- gates from Burnaby Elementary Teachers’ Association, by con- trast, were instructed to support labor affiliation.

Closeness of the vote caused many observers to voice the opin- ion that the question of affiliation would be re-opened at next year’s convention.

Denial of aid to flood victims hit

; HANEY, B.C.

A meeting here last Saturday night addressed by Hal Griffin, associate editor of the Pacific Tribune, protested Labor Minis- ter Lyle Wicks’ statement made at an earlier meeting here, that the provincial government had no intention of aiding Aloutte flood victims. :

(“Why should the government do anything if the people them- selves don’t care?’”” Wicks said. “They*ve only raised $1,000.”)

The flood relief fund started some time ago to raise $90,000 by public subscription is regard- ed in this district as a diversion- ary move to relieve public pres- sure on provincial and federal governments for assistance to flood victims.
