The meeting was sponsored by the Building Trades Coun- cil (CLC) and drew an en- thusiastic crowd of over 400 people. Reports from various ne- gotiating committees showed a familiar ominous pattern: —the bosses. stalling and conceding nothing, and the provincial Dept. of Labor by- passing ccnciliation boards and resorting increasingly to the use of conciliation of- ficers. In the face of this two- pronged drive to “hold. the line,’ and despite the fact that last year the unions went along with a no-raise policy, the meeting passed a resolution stating that any strike action by a member union. would be supported ‘morally, financially and in every way possible by all other building trades unions, including the Teamsters, who are still affiliated to the BUG: In addition to taking this action, speaker after speaker condemned the devaluation of the Canadian dollar for being a direct wage cut, and denouncéd the continued spir- alling of the cost of living. A number of speakers also pointed out that the increas- ed mechanization in the building industry is now forcing the unions to serious- ly take up the question of a shorter work week. The meeting proved to be a good beginning towards forging unity to defeat the employers, and another has already been scheduled for the early part of June; doubt- less more will follow. * * * The IWA - Hillcrest Lum- ber Co. dispute over trans- portation for loggers is reaching the showdown stage. The loggers have been out on strike for five months, making this the longest dis- pute in the history of the lumberworkers in B.C., as a result of the company abrup- tly withdrawing bus _ trans- portation which it had been providing for years. The strikers’ wives have banded together under the LIBERAL BACKS POWER EXPORT A Liberal government in Ottawa would “substantially export power and would get on with the Columbia Treaty pretty well as it stood. This was one of the. main points made at an all-party meeting in West Vancouver last week by Jack Davis, Lib- eral candidate for Coast-Cap- ilano, who is considered as one of the Liberal party’s top advisers on power and the Columbia. * name. of “Wiyes Committee of Hillcrest Loggers,” and have issued a_ statement in which they call for support- ing their husbands as ‘“‘we don’t intend to let them give up this fight.” * * * An Ontario-wide trucking strike began on Monday night as members of five lo- cals of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters re- jected proposals of a concil- iation board for a new agree- ment covering 8,200 employ- ees of 66 Ontario trucking operators. This Ontario action stretch- es the truckers’ strike across. two provinces, with trucking in Quebec alread tied up for six weeks. * & * In Detroit, President of the United Auto Workers un- ion, Walter MReuther, an- nounced that the union had decided to contribute $10,- 000 to help the militant strik- ers in Spain. Money has been pouring into the strik- ers’ fund from all over the world. NEWS ITEM—A few days after the U.S. announced it would fire a rocket with a live H-bomb 3,000 miles into the Pacific, a Titan missile exploded on its launching site in California. It is also reported from Washington Tuesday that high atmosphere tests to punch a hold in the Van Allen radiation belt will start this week. FRANCO’S HATED POLICE HQ. This is the police centre adds for the Franco dictatorship in Madrid. Orders have been sent from here to try to crush the rising strike movement. Last week hundreds of Spaniards demonstrated their suppor? ‘of the strikers of the Asturias, Bilbao and elsewhere, and many women were arrested in front of this building. Morris challenges Pearson to debate election issues Because Lester Person has “shown a great eagerness to enter into public debate of the issues facing our coun- try’, he was challenged to a public political encounter by Leslie Morris, leader of the Communist Party. Morris stated that the en- counter “would be of great public interest” and left the time and place open—at Pear- son’s convenience. He suggested the following subjects. 1. What measures would be necessary to make our eco- nomy boom, and to provide full employment? 2. What should be our trade policy if Britain enters the European Common Mar- ket, as seems likely? 3. What should be our pol- icy in foreign affairs, to assure lasting peace? At press time, no reply had been received from Pearson. LESLIE MORRIS June 1, 1962—PACIFIC TRIBUNE—Page 3
