The capitalist class in bringing forward this book into the schools is maneuvering to introduce a power- ful weapon of anti-Soviet and pro- Fascist propoganda. Althoueh they attempt to conceal this trend in their review of the modem history of the various coun- dries, the pictures are so cleverly placed and commented upon as to create a spirit of anti-Sovietism in the minds of the youth; at the same time playing up the Nazi regime with its swastikas and Nazi salutes, aS one picture on Page 541 indicates. Mussolini and Hitler “Saviors” On Page 558 of this book the Ital- jan Fascist regime of Mussolini is explained as being peaceful, which continually strives to better the liv- ine conditions of the Italian people. Glorifyinge Mussolini, the writer tries to ereate the opinion that Mussolini is the Saviour of Italy. In the chapter dealing with German Fascism, the editor of the book expresses sympathy with the Nazi regime. On page 540 he states: “The new government dis- played great vigor and freedom in unitine the country more closely.” Further on he remarks: “Much at- tention was paid to education, to improving physical conditions.” Get Such Books Burned The capitalist class realized that the first thing to attract the youth in any publication are the pictures contained therein, This book carries out this idea. The youth in the schools must earry on a relentless fight against the introduction of pro-fascist pro- paganda in their school studies. The first step in this direction must be the immediate removal of Ralph FWienley’s “Modern Wurope and the World,” from the high schools. MURDERED BY OFFICIAL NEGLECT. The death of Mrs. Janet B. Gloyne, 20-year-old wife of an unemployed Burnaby ~worker residing at 3025 Harwood Avenue, can be attributed to the brutal and inhuman adminis- tration of relief. She died on the morning of September 16th, as a re- sult of a hemorrhage setting in after baby, which died later. passed away. The Vancouver “Sun” glosses over her death with a small hidden news item, thus deliberately attempting to becloud the.facts of her death. Under the administration of Com- missioner Praser the conditions of the unemployed in Burmaby are be- coming more unbearable. It behooves the relief recipients to agzain rebuild their once famed un- employed organizavions. TRANSFORM BOSS ORGAN- IZATIONS. Enrollment of 5000 young men and women into new physical rec- reationa!l centres in the Interior and throughout British Columbia is ex- pected by Ian Hisenhardt, provincial director of physical education, Mr. Hisenhardt left Vancouver on Monday night for Prince Rupert, Smithers and Prince George, where he will conduct a survey of the physical recreation facilities offered in those cities. His travels will also take him into the Okanagan and to Icamloops. The recreational centres were first introduced last year by the Provin- cial Government. During the sum- mer months many of them closed down. According to the latest decision of the Provincial Government, the rec- reational centres will re-open on October ist. This plan is designed for the pur- pose of attracting the youth into or- fanizations within which reactionary government officials will decide upon the policy. Working-class youth should not boyeott these centres, but, on the contrary, fully utilize them. In this manner, by soing into such organ- izations, will be Im a better position to combat reactionary measures. Hit Hitler Hard The campaign against Canadian participation in the Olympic games to be held in Berlin, Germany, next year is taking on tremendous pro- portions. The Canadian Youth Council which represents 210 youth organi- zations in Toronto discussed the is- sue and it is quite probable that they will go on record as heing op- posed to Canadian participation in the Olympics. The Amateur Athletic Union is al- so to take the matter up at the next annual meeting of the organiza- tion at Halifax in November, accord- ing to a statement made by John Leslie, honorary secretary of the the birth of a five weeks overdue ALA: Defence News ca | ° | | | JOINT DANCE.

EVERY APPEARANCE OF A FRAME-UP. @n the basis of the judge’s direc- tion to the jury in the trials of the six Powell River strikers charged with being members of an unlawful assembly at the Wall Assizes, the Canadian Labor Defense League is appealing the verdict and will apply to Wictoria for bail for E. McLeod, J. Paulson, J. Balderston, J. H. Brown. E. Nieli and W. S. Stein. The jury, after being out four hours, eame to Judge Murphy for direc- tion and were told, “I think you might consider that this case has already cost the Crown a good deal of money,” and after a further 20 minutes of deliberation brought in a verdict of “guilty with a strong recommendation to mercy.’ Gordon Grant, in an interview with the GL.D.L., advised an appeal, stating that if this comviction is upheld it will mean that any policeman can beat up a worker at any time with- out the slightest provocation.

The first jury disagreed. The second jury brought in the verdict described above. Rothery and Lawson are re- manded until the end of the Assizes for sentence and are at present in Oakalla Jail. SEE THE WORKERS GET “JUSTICE.” The Canadian Uabor Defense League stresses the necessity for as Many workers as possible to turn out at the Georgia Street Court House while the trials of the accused longshoremen and seamen are being conducted.

Prejudices Broken Down. The Relief Camp Workers” in Oliver district have broken down many former prejudices, attending and speaking at €.C.F. and other meetings, explaining to the workers the nature of the Relief Camps. Camp Workers’ grievances, the On- to-Ottawa trek, and the burning: ne- ecessity for all working and middle- elass peoples to unite solidly to fight against the slave camp system, against capitalist attacks upon the living standard of the workers, and against oncoming Fascism and im- perialist war.

BLACK-LISTED, STARVING, BUT STILL FIGHTING Campboys Continue To Struggle fo for Relief have previous By FRED GR ANGE Denied Relief! Denied the doubt- ful hospitality of a Relief Camp! Condemned by Government inaction to Starve! Tf we ask Why?, the answer is plain to all workers. These men have done their bit in the class struggle. They helped to organize Relief Camps, helped to fill depart- ment stores with demonstrators. They came out on the streets of Vancouver and attempted to carry their grievances to Ottawa. They defended themselves in Regina. When they did these things, not only were they struggling for the abolition of Relief Camps, but they were shouldering part of the burden, placed upon the shoulders of all of us, that of fighting and overcoming the general onslaught by capitalism through its sovernments. They Need Your Help Now Wow that these men haye become victims of discrimination, because they have so boldly “held the fort,” we must not forget our duty. We must use all our energy, individually and orfanizationally, to force Provin- cial and Federal governments to re- instate these men in camp, or to pro- vide them with relief in town Tellow-worker: You and your or- ganization will be called upon in the near future to participate in Mass Action on this vital issue: When that time comes we ask you to be ready. Munn Favors Relief Camps Would Pay Young More Money—and Work Them Harder By Workers Correspondent. GIBSONS LANDING, Sept: 21.— 7Our parliamentary representative is here to give an account of his stewardship over the last five years.” said Rev. Parker, chairman of a Liberal rally held here last night, supported by the inevitable entertainer. A. E. Munn, M.P., the gentleman referred to, had decided views on re- forming the relief camps. His blan- ket remedy was to segregate the old from the youne and pay the Jatter a little more money ‘‘so that they ean have=a little more ready cash in order to lools for a profitable job.” In the opinion of many of his audi- ienece it was a solution arrived at by a peanut brain, which refuses to recognize that there are no jobs to be had. Slippery Customer. Verbally, this capitalist M.P. was in favor of the repeal of Section 98. The local Anti-War Committee pre- sented him with five questions aim- ed at keeping Canada out of war. His answer was “yes” to all of them. Mr. Munn tartly reminded his audience that they did not give him a majority five years ago and he urged them to plump for him this time. Bruce went to the peniten- tiary for labor’s cause;—send him to Parliament. KELOWNA HEARS PLEA FOR UNITY Kelly and Scobie Impress Audience KELOWNA, B.C... Sept. 22—A well Attended public meeting held here stember 19 heard Kelly and Scobie of the Camp Boys and Lonsshoremen on the question of defense of the ar- rested members of those two groups of workers and the question of the united front activity was outlined in the clearest manner ever heard in Jrelowna, € Seobie: the longshoreman, gave 2 vivid picture of the conditions on the waterfront which held the attention of the audience, and at the end of his talk a resolution-of protest was endorsed without a dissenting voice. Ixelly Places Blame For Regina Riots Ixelly, of the Camp Workers Union, told of the Ottawa Trek and the Re- gina Riot and outlined the question of the need for unity and how it can be accomplished. The reception to these two speakers given by the au- dience proved conclusively that the desire for united efforts to combat the encroachment of capitalism on the rights of the common people is felt by all. Ikelly placed the blame for the bloodshed at Resina squarely on the shoulders of R. GB. Bennett and Grote Stirling. These two common workers spoke with such ringing truth in their voices that they made a lasting impression on the folks of Txelowna. Joseph Lyens spoke briefly during the discussion period stressing the need for mass united action to re- peal the attacks of the rich on the poor peeple. Packing Co. Launches Wage Cut By Reducing The Hours ‘WORKER SUFFERS Union Calls For 20 Per Cent Wage Increase By CARL HITCHIN Winnipee Correspondent WINNIPEG, Man., Sept. 17—The Ganadian Packers Co. is cutting down the hours of labor of all the employees in the plant in Winnipeg. They have notified their employees that in the future the company im- tends to get the staff on the 8-hour basis. The wages of the packing plant, as far as the majority of the workers are concerned, are about the lowest paid in the country. Women work- ers are hired at the rate of 21 cents per hour, and men on the 30-cents- an-hour basis. Less Hours—Less Pay With the introduction of the $8- hour day, thees workers will in ef- fect receive a wage-cut, The proposed S-hour day is not a standard. Work- ers can worl: less than 8 hours but not more. Workers are also being laid off. We can only hail the introduction of the 8-hour day as a victory for the workesr when every employee in every department is guaranteed a resular S-hour day and when the company is made to come across with higher wages, Union Rallies Workers The union has issued a leaflet, which was well received by the workers of the plant, calling on the workers to fight for a wage in- crease of 209 in all departments, the suaranteed 40-hour week and the minimum wage to be not less than 40 cents per hour. Turn the divided defensive into a united offensive of the common people. SEVERE INJURIES VANCOUVER, Sept. 24.—Sufferine an injured neck and back when he fell off a pile driver at Barnet, C. Chadwick of 216 East Tenth Street, North Wanecouver, was removed to the General Hospital in an uncon- scious condition early Monday after- noon. It is reported that Chadwick was standing on the top of the driv- er when he lost his balance and fell, striking an iron bar on the way down. EKLOW, KELLY GOING UP COAST Fishermen, Loggers and Miners To Be Asked for Defense Aid VANCOUVER, Sept. 25.—J_ Ek- low, organizer for the Lumber Work- ers’ Union, and J. Kelly of the Relief Gamp Workers’ Union, left today for Prince Rupert, Queen Charlotte Islands, the surrounding logging camps and fishing settlements. Their purpose is to build support for the defense of the arrested wat- erfront and camp workers, now fac- ine trial for their labor activities. Sympathizers at the above places are asked to arrange meetings for them and help out in every way pos- sible. The question is not mone- tary reform, but more money for food. King Liberal Govt.

R. B. Bennett gave out a mouth—- ful of figures of what pensions had cost his government, but failed to inforny the audience he had cut the relief of the small pensioners from 30 dollars a month to $15. This is no doubt one of the means he used to insure the WAR PROFITEERS that the bonds they bought tax-free would still pay out interest. Most all of this saving has been done at the expense of the working class, not even the vets being exempt.

He goes on to state that ‘‘fowing to the Vets having gone harvesting (their only chance to earn’a few dol- lars) not much in the way of acti- vities can be done until the Fall.” We would like to hear further from these comrades. Last Thursday night, Roger Bray of the ©CF., addressed the Vets at 150 Hastings St. W. On taiking of the demands of the Action Gom- mittee, he stated: “You are far too modest. I would go much farther.’ Yes, we know our demands are mod- est, but they are what a miass meet- ing of ex-servicemen thought it would be possible to win.
