; £ i | x ‘ 1 & Continued From Page One Modern eaga and Content To Be Featured in New Paper, November 4 carry the battle of democratic coalition to preserve national unity and ensure a period of peaceful progress in the post-- war. : : In British Columbia we have ten candidates in the field, every one of whom stands a chance of capturing his con- stituency. However there is a tremen- dous amount of work to be done, work which demands that all who carry on the fight shail be provided with the weapons for the task. And this is the objective of our paper. We are determined that our press in B. C. shall measure up to the job ahead. Firstly we are starting a eampaign for 5,000 new readers. We consider, and we are sure you will agree, that this is a limited objective considering the possibilities. But from this start, on the basis of changes proposed, we can make our paper the most widely read labor paper in the province. We will start immediately by publishing a regular twelve page paper. It is impossible to ‘carry all necessary material within the confines of an eight age paper. = On Se 4 we will pub- lish an entirely new paper, with & streamlined make-up to make it attractive, many added fea- tures, and interpretive news items. We propose that our readers - should participate in building our paper and with this in mind we are inviting all of our sub- scribers to take part in finding the new name. . We are running a competi- tion, starting now, with a prize of one hundred dollars for the name selected. In the event of more than one submitting the winning name, the prize will be award- ed to the first received. Send your entries to The People, 104 Shelly Building, Vancouver. All subseribers to our paper, both present and new, are en- titled to take part in this com- petition. We might add that in addi- tion to the many new features planned we are offering as a premium to new yearly sub- Scribers, the book Sabotage by Michael Sayers. In our November 4 issue we will introduce a regular weekly column of political comment by LPP Provincial Leader Fergus McKean. This feature should prove popular with our readers who are familiar with his clear concise and authoritative ar- ticles and; speeches. In addition we will carry the following regular features: @ A column of snappy topi- eal comment, present oddities and peculiarities in the news. @ A roundup of world events; we believe that news from abroad should be given in an interpretive manner, tieing in the events of significance in other lands with world picture. @ A trade union column which will deal with the signi- cance of trends and events, giving a general picture of world developments in the sphere of organized labor. @ A book of the week col- umn, in which we will review books of interest to our readers and obtainable in the People Book Store. @lLeading members of the Labor-Progressive Party will contribute regular articles on topical subjects, while to help us we have added to our staff a number of outstanding contri- buting editors. This is.our objective—to give our readers the best labor paper, both for content and ap- pearance our efforts can achieve. This is the kind of paper our readers deserve, it is the kind of paper that should go into every progressive home in the province. It is an imperative if we are to play our part in the future of our province. the general ~ <8 GREETINGS to The People from DR. W. J. CURRY & HAst. 0340. 766 E.

Local 756 — Certified Culminating several years of effort, Aeronautical Lodge 7 DO (A EIS). bas [ob= tained collective bargaining certification for all Boeing plants in British Columbia. The certification effects more than 7000 of the company’s 9000 employees in plants at Nelson, Chilliwack, Victoria and the four Vancouver plants. “This is an industry wide agreement,” Tom Parkin, re- cording secretary for the union, told The People. “The agree- ment covers all workers except salaried employees and super- ViSOrs.”” “Arrangements for negotia- tion of contracts with the com= pany will be made as soon as possible,” he said, Conditions to be negotiated with the company will inelude union shop, shorter work week, to be effective when conditions permit, and two weeks holiday with pay. Expecting some difficulty in obtaining the three major con- cessions, Lodge 756 will pro- pose that these three points be raised at the National Aircraft Conference to be held the mid- die of October in Toronto, and that these points become a na- tional demand of all Aireraft unions across Canada. “This conference will be probably the most important ever held by aircraft lodges in Canada,” Parkin said. ‘‘We hope to lay the foundations for a national drive for labor par- ticipation in planning for post war development.” f 1% Hoy’s Radio Electric 605 E.

LPP Speakers Well Received Speaking at two enthu- Silastic meetings at Britannia Beach and Townsite this week, William Stewart, LPP federal candidate for Vancouver North, outlined the rele labor can play in the postwar to ensure jobs and security for Canadian workers. “The Labor-Progressive Party states categorically that there can be jobs after the war and points the way to achieving this end,” Stewart declared. He cited the fact that in the Jast four provincial elections governments representative of four different political parties were returned to power, as basis for the assertion that there would have to be a coali- tion government after the com- ing federal elections. Speaking on the same plat- form with Stewart, Vi McCrae, LPP provineial committee mem- ber, dealt with the program of the party and traced the events of the past months which had confirmed fully the analysis of world and national affairs made by the LPP. Demonstrating a keen’ in- terest in the program of the LPP the audiences at both meetings entered into a lively question and discussion period aiter the speakers had been heard.
