The rally will be sponsored by the Vancouver Council-of the Labor- Progressive Party. Widely known as the author of two pamphlets, Fascism Over Canada and_ Hitler’s Fifth Gol- umn in Quebec, both of which attracted national attention at the time of their publication, Rose has recently won consider- able support for his stand in the House against the King govern- ment’s action in releasing- in- terned fascists. UNTO Ask Safety Measures Following the recent fatal ac- cident in North Burrard _ship- yard, where a welder drowned after he fell from out- board staging, the Shipyard Gen- eral Workers Federation is mak- ing application to the Work- men’s Compensation Board for stricter application of safety regulations in the shipyards. The SGWE will ask: - @ That all charge hands and men supervising workers should be required to have a working knowledge of the rules of their 3 department. @® That Safety inspectors should come directly under sup- ervision of the Workmen’s Com- pensation Board rather than un- der the supervision of the com- Panies, as at present. “Evidence brought out at the inquest showed that the accident occurred because the charge hand concerned was placed on a job outside his responsibility,” Said Charles Saunders, president of the Dock and Shipyard Work- ers Union. “This man was put in charge of a permanent stag- ing crew, while outboard staging is ‘the work of tackle riggers, under the supervision of a quali+ fied ship’s rigger.” -City LPP In New Quarters Vancouver Council of the La- bor-Progressive Party and Van- couver Center Federal Constitu- ency Committee of the LPP will - Share the new hall acquired by Victory Square LPP Branch at 531 Homer Street, it was an- nounced by Elgin Ruddell, LPP city organizer, this week. The new braneh established was Drive On Company Unions As part of a Seneral drive by labor organizations against “independent” ¢ om pany unions, the regional office of the Canadian ~ Congress of - Labor is having 5,000 leaflets : - printed exposing the so-called Amalgamated Unions of Canada as “counterfeit.” At the same time, statements made by D. V. Mitchell, head of the company union setup, were characterized as “resorts to all of the wellworn tricks of the professional dis- rupter of legitimate unions,” by H. HE. Leary, president of Van- couver Labor Council, in a radio address this week. “We in the trade union-move- ment have learned to recognize these familiar statements over a long period,’ Weary said. “In- variably they try to appeal to national instinets by calling for a purely Canadian trade! union movement, and then proceed to appeal to bigotry by a storm of red-baiting.” “The tremendous war produc- tion so much appreciated by. our allies and the industrial de- velopment which has placed Canada in the fourth -world posi- tion would not have been pos- sible but for the tremendous driving power and initiative of the legitimate labor movement,” Leary continued. “Mitchell’s statements, as quot- ed in the daily Press, are delib- erately misleading. For instance, when he stated that no vote would be taken in Trail last week, he failed to add that certi- fication was already in progress for the International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelterworkers (CIO), and that it was his own outfit that the provincial labor department refused to nize.” Delegates to Vancouver Labor Council this week endorsed the printings of leafiets exposing the Amalgamated setup. Dan O’Brien, CCL regional director, charged that fink unions were intending to enter every industry in the country. He said their claim was true “that they were not go- ing -to organize company unions —they are going to amalgamate those already in existence,” O’Brien stated. 2 : Referring to: Mitchell’s state- 'Mment that he received no funds from big business, O’Brien said: “I challenge him to produce a financial statement showing his source of income,” reminding the council that both trade union centers in Canada give audited reports of receipts and expenses.

While the Privateer project calls only for a small plant at Zeballos on -Vanecouver Island labor feels this is “a step in the right direction,’ and repre- sentatives of most labor organi- zations have publicly expressed their approval of the proposed venture. Searcity of steel -and cast iron on the Pacific Coast may have lost $20,000,000 in war orders for British Columbia during the past few months, it was revealed in Ottawa this month. R. W. Mayhew, MP for Vic- toria, urged the importance of undertaking at once establish- ment of a small steel industry. During the past few months, over $20,000,000 worth of war work was offered BG. Our Machine shops and foundries figured on it, and figured well; but due to the scarcity of steel on the Coast, were unable to get the business. “But because we lost the op- portunity offered at the. start of, the war does not mean that we -Should not proceed at once with such a project. “At the present moment the War is not over, and the recon- ~ PPCOPODOSS OCS SCCS CSCC C CCS O0000$00000600000S00OOO LABOR THEATER Shipyard Revue ‘Unity Begins With You?

Leary, president of Van- couver Labor Council and one of the two labor representatives on the semi-public civic steel com- mittee, reported fully on the plan to Vancouver Labor Coun- cil this week, and recommended that labor swing its weight be hind the project. The steel committee, meeting last week to hear a detailed ac- count of the work to date from D. S. Tait, president of Privateer Mines, set up a sub-committee of four to approach the provin- cial government to develop hy- dro-electriec projects in the Ze- allos Valley to serve the Ze- ballos industries. Tait told the eommittee that if - electric power was not available for the small steel furnace, a charcoal plant would be estab- lished to manufacture steel on the Swedish system.
