way dispute.” The wire expresses
fear that the injustice of the de-
cision is likely to provoke a
“grave if not disastrous strike
situation.” Continuing it states,
‘fully support unions’s request
for commission. Urge immediate
appointment.”

Another CCl union to add its

voice to the general demand was

ion whose president, W. J. Rob-
son sent the followings wire to
-~ the Prime Minister and the Min-
ister of Labor: “The Dock and
Ship Workers’° Union in the in-
‘terest of ‘vital war production
urge the Dominion soyernment
to. take immediate action to
bring about a just settlement in
the present tramway dispute in
the city of Vancouver.’

In a statement issued this
week Charles Stewart. chairman
of the Street Railwaymen’s Un-

demned the NWILB decision as
“definitely not in accordance
with the evidence submitted” and
“andemocratice and a disservice
to our country’s war effort.”

The statement declared that
“the members of the Street Rail-
waymen’s Union in Vancouver,
Victoria and New Westminster
have been longs suffering and
have waited patiently since
March 1, 1944, to complete the
signing; of a new agreement. De-

ACCLAMATION

The acclamation accorded* Ald-
erman Norman Freed. LPP na-
tional’ committee member. in
Ward Four testified not only to
the great public esteem he en-
joys in the ward, but also to the
growing acceptance by non-labor
groups of the necessity of re-
cognizinge labor’s right to repre-
sentation in the City Hall. Both
Freed and Alderman Sims were
able to roll up an impressive re-
cord of struggle and results on
behalf of the people on the 1944

council. Action to relieve the
housing crisis for servicemen’s
families, collective bargaining

rights for civic employees, im-
portant savings in budget ex-
penditures, concrete move to es-
tablish a low-rental housing
building project were among the
major achieyements of the two
aldermen, working with other
progressive elements. during -the
past year.

the Board of Education in Ward
Four brings a capable new mem-
ber to that body. Wife of a trade

tended Cornell University last

ronto branch of the National
Gouneil for Soviet Friendship.

eational facilities of Toronto
