TORONTO, Ont.——“We could not support the CCF

retted that the government had not introduced
idamental changes’ because it was totally unreal-
=>, Fred Rose, M.P., told the National Committee

an allout campaign to bring
every operator in the city
into their organization.

A total of 62,000 Germans, trapped by the rolling Red
Army offensive, were killed in the encirclement described
in the map above when they refused to surrender. Ger-
man counter offensives dented the encirclement at points
but failed to break it, while giant Nazi transport planes
attempting to evacuate high-ranking personnel were shot
down by Soviet fighters.

Vancouver Waterfront Workers’ Association, at a
special meeting held this week, adopted a resolution
to withdraw from the British Columbia Council of Long-
shoremen unless that council accedes to the desire of
the Vancouver organization, as demonsirated in a re-
cent ballot, to affiliate with the International Longshore-

men and Warehousemen’‘s Union (CIO).

More than 200 of a membership of some 400 at-
tended the special meeting and it was pointed out that
allowing for members working on the waterfront at
the time the meeting was held, this represented by far
the greater part of the organization.

Two delegates from the New Wesminster Waterfront
Workers Association attending the special meeting will
report back to their organization which, it is expected,
will also vote soon on the question of affiliation to the
International Longshoremen and Warehousemen’s

Union.
