Fergus McKean To Tour Province CUMBERLAND.—At the first in a series of meetings to be held in many places throughout the province, Fergus McKean, provin- cial secretary of the Communist- Labor Total War Committee, will speak at a public meeting in the Oddfellows Hall here this Sunday, lat 7:30 p.m. Subject of the meeting, at which Andy Hogarth will also speak, will }be Canada and its role in the im- lminent Invasion of Europe. | 119 West Pender MA. } VICTORY... and AFTER By EARL BROWDER | SAYS TO ARMS = 2282 ee $ .30 | | CANADA IN THE COMING OFFENSIVE, | By iin Bek ee ee $ .10 | THE YUGOSLAVIAN FRONT AGAINST FASCISM, by Mirko Marhovich |... $ .05 | HITLER’S FIFTH COLUMN IN QUEBEC, By frei hosecs = eS fe ene $ .05 | WOMEN IN THE WAR, By Elizabeth Gurley Flynn —................... $ .05 SCIENCE AND SOCIETY, Quarterly Marxist Magazine ._..................-..- $ .40 Bi ARMY: SONGS 3). oe ee $ .70 SONGS OER “VICTORY 2S ee ees $ .50 The People Bookshop 105 Shelly Building 6929 Vancouver, B.C. “Tsn't it a fact that the plaintiffs in this action are employed by and paid by the CCL?” Tysoe asked, Witness thought not, but remem- bered in time that Bradley was a GCL organizer, then later recollect- ed that Dayid Thompson was also a paid official of the CCL, “But Stephen just works for his fellow man,” he insisted, while boilermakers present at the back of the courtroom laughed.

For many years woodworkers in® this area have been unorganized, mainly because IWA lacked the necessary organizers to cover all points. Employees of Butler Shin- gle Mill and Sawmill at Silverdale recently signed up with TWA, and now that the organization is ex- tending into other mills in the area, union officials forsee rapid growth of new locals in the near future. Thursday meeting of the union, as stipulated in the CCL constitu- tion. *“Isn’t it a fact that those elec- tions were held on Sunday, and not on Thursday at all?" Tysoe charged. Mills reply that he couldn't remember drew sharp rebuke from counsel, and his explanation that he “has a very, very poor mem- ory” caused Tysoe to tell the wit- ness, “I don’t want you to guess. If you don’t know, say you don't know.” The 1941 elections in the Boiler- makers union were also challenged by the CCL, Tysoe mentioned. Mills “didn’t remember.” He did remember, however, and emphatically stated, that the elec- tion in December, 1942, was con- stitutional since, he said, the CCL had given permission for the elec- tions to be held by referendum ballot due to the obvious impos- sibility of hiring a hall large enough to accommodate the en- tire membership of the union for balloting. “J would have had to be blind to miss seeing the posters advertis- ing the union meetings,” Mills re- plied when asked by Tysoe if he was aware of meetings being held. Debts outstanding at the end of 1942 were not paid, witness admit- ted. He was aware of “lots of dicta- tor cries against the McAuslane administration,” he said. No attempt was made to pre vent him from removing records and union correspondence from the Holden Building office, William Robertson, steel driller, and for- mer recording secretary of the union, admitted under cross exam- ination. His idea was that the “status quo” be upheld until the September convention of the CCL, he said. He identified minutes In his own handwriting including a motion that “the referendum method of electing the new executive be rec- ognized as legal, in view of the CCL permission to hold elections in this way.” Lloyd Whalen, former vice-presi- dent, also called by Branca, testi- fied he had been present at the meeting of the union which dis- cussed the notice of motion to se- cede from the CCL, but that he later “thought it over and changed his mind.” “By September there will be no members left In good standing to appeal the suspension, if the union is not to be permitted to function,” Tysoe remarked. Charter Member Dave Thompson, | one of the plaintiffs in the action, called by Branca as a witness stat- ed he had tried to pay dues to Stephen, former secretary-treasur- er, but Stephen had refused to take them “because the union is sus- pended.” In company with “quite a gang,” he saw Conroy and McGuire three or four days before they left Van- couver, he said.
