sanized labor this week went on record as demand-

Tancouver as a hostel for returned servicemen, as dele-
the Vancouver Labor Council (CCL) unanimously
ed support of an executive resolution urging the city
‘to live up te its responsibilities “by accepting the
the federal government and to immediately take
the old Hotel Vancouver and thus help

situation in this city.”’

whose purpose would be to com-
bat statements alleging discrim-
ination by trade unions against
‘veterans. The resolution propos-
ed a committee composed of
representatives from the CCL
and AFL unions, Canadian Le-
gion, Army and Navy Veterans
in Canada, and any other vet-

er the joint direction of}

erans’ groups desirous of repre-
sentation.

“Pointing out that charges of
discrimination have been level-
led “publicity and through the
press”, the resolution: warned
that such claims represented “‘a
threat against organized labor.”

A resolution introduqed by
the Marine Workers and Boiler-
makers Industrial Union, keyed
a demand for upward revision of
wages and support from govern-
ment in labor’s fight for increas-
ed standards of work and living
to the recent increase voted to
members of the
meeting, however, rejected a rid-
er added to the motion by Mar-
ine Workers Delegate, Stanley
Woolgar, which condemned mem-
bers of parliament, through lead-
ers of political parties, for sup-
port of the recent measure.

Sid Sarkin, Journeymen Tail-
ors Union, supporting the mo-
tion, stated: “Although we are

not here to defend increases in
salary for our members of par-

liament, labor cannot take the
position of placing itself on
record against increases”.
“Labor is out of the 40-hour
week, labor is struggling for in-
creases in wages,” Sarkin con-
tinued, “and how will it sound if
we go on record against in-
ereases? Labor can point to this
fact, increase to
members of parliament as am
argument, and a good argument,
in support of labor’s demands.”
Nominations for officers for
1946 were received, further nom-
inations and election will take
place at the next meeting.

ROME. Another vivid demonstration of the close working
relations between the Italian Socialist and Communist parties
was given this week when Socialist leader Pietro Nenni_ ad-
dressed the Comraunist party congress here to bring greetings
from his party’s membership. At the same time, Nennj wrote
in the Socialist organ Avanti: “We have to create a socialist
state without any lenger being the workers’ party, but only

The Communist congress is attended by 4,000 delegates from
all parts of the country, representing a membership of 1,718,-

instead of being scrapped by the
‘War Assets Corporation.

At a further meeting held Jan-
uary Seventh, the group formally
constituted itself Jobs for All
Association and pledged itself to
fight to mobilize the entire com-
munity in an aggressive struggle
for full employment, and to com-
bat fatalistic ideas that unem-
ployment is inevitable.

Further stated objectives were
to have dominion, provincial, and
municipal governments assume
their responsibility in seeing to
it that there are jobs for all will-
ing and able to work, and mean-
while doing everything possible
to solve the immediate problem
of those actually unemployed.

Several leading trade unionists
from both the Trades and Labor
Council (AFL) and Labor Coun-~
ceil (CCL) attended and on their
suggestion the meeting called for
the setting up of a three way

Both MLA-elect Bill Brett and

attended and spoke briefly in

efforts to meet the crisis and

higher plane.
