Harold Pritchett, council vice- president, reading from the pro- gram of the Canadian Associated Wnions, said its stated aim of or- ganizing “simon pure’ unions was disguised industrial sabot- age. “Tt can have for a purpose only the creation of division and dis- ruption, which adversely affect the war effort and production,” he declared. Dan O’Brien, regional organiz- er, told delegates that James Stafford, a director of the “Can- adian Associated Unions,” had been sent to Vancouver {sland to obtain advertisers when the GGL was a small struggling or- Qanization. He even solicited don- ations as well, then got other per- sons -to endorse the cheques, which he used himself. The CCL finally; got in touch with provin- cial police but the latter found it impossible to catch up with him, he moved so fast. Harvey Murphy, IUMMSW del- egate, said the council must take a-serious view of such activities. “All company unions are subsi- dized, even though the employers know how shady these -people are,” he said. “They are foisted on the employees to intimidate them into paying dues to the company. union.” Burnaby Vote Split By CCF BURNABY, B.C. — Insistence of the CCF on entering a candi- date to oppose the LPP candi- date, A.

McTague, ex- chairman of the National War Tabor Board, has become national chairman of the Progressive Conservative Party em- phasizes the aggressive energy with which the tory forces are organizing for the next Dominion election,’ Tim Buck, national leader of the Labor-Progressive Party, declared in a press statement issued here this week. The statement continued: “Tast year I was compelled to express public regret at Mr. Mc- Vague’s refusal to accept the point of view put forward by the labor movement to the national inquiry into wages and labor re- lations. In spite of the fact that labor’s main contentions were unanswerable, Mr. McTague sub- mitted a report which constitut- ed, in effect, a rejection of la- bor’s most important proposals. “Mr. McTague’s statement upon his acceptance of the chair- manship of the Progressive Con- servative Party develops his anti-labor position further. It sounds a note which is ominous indeed. “By his declaration that he has become “alarmed” at what he terms the ill-advised “tendency towards a socialistic state’ he comes forward as a national spokesman for those _ sinister forces which are striving to con- fuse the Dominion electorate by. making it appear that the issue in the elections is going to be “Socialism vs. Free Enterprise.” “That is not going to be the issue of the elections. The issue is going to be jobs and security in the pastwar years. The well financed and highly organized campaign to create the artificial division over the issue of social- in reality, but a smoke- yuobilized the forces of those interests which seek to prevent adoption of national policies to guarantee jobs and security after the war.” iJohn E.
