Leaming comes to Samarkand -

the Moslem world is in turmoil.

- From the Atlantic coast of Africa to the highlands of India
teeming millions are stirring in the comsciousness of a new

freedom—moving to throw off

the yoke if imperialist domin-

ation and exploitation. One section of the Moslem world, within

the Soviet Union has found this fredeom under
where Timur the Terrible ruled centuries

—golden Samarkand,

Socialism. In

20, and whose towers and minarets are mixed of mortar made
with human blood, school boys play and study of the new, and

as yet not quite familiar age.

The second statement that a
vendor had been threatened by
Black with loss of his corner for
having helped to picket the Proy-
ince, is at variance with the facts.
The vendor in question was one
of Black’s ‘own employees in
charge of a route and the sup-
posed “threat,” it transpires, was
no more than a wire read to a
meeting of the newly organized
Wewsvendors Union (AFL), in
which Black reminded this em-

CSU

the sacrifices which they made in
this war shall not be in vain. The
promises of the Atlantic Charter
and the Four Freedoms shail not
be taken away by fascist-minded
employers in this country. We
call upon the Canadian people to
protest to the minister of justice
against the use of fhe Canada
Shipping Act through which ar-
rests are being made in order to
smash our union.

The Vancouver and Victoria of-
fices of the Canadian Seamen’s
Union are busily engaged in the
registration of all deep-sea men in
preparation for the introduction
of the union hiring hall system re-
cently won by the CSU. Facilities
for a hiring hall are now being

surveyed by union officials.

Canadian steel union

head under

fire for ‘I0c-plus’ wage proposal

TORONT O—Charles Millard, national director of the United Steelworkers of America,
is proposing to. settle the steel strike on a 10-cents plus basis. And here’s how rank-and-file

members of CCI unions in Windsor, Hamilton, St. Catherines, Welland and Toronto,
viewed by the Canadian Tribune this week, look at his proposals.

Tom White, who has worked in
Chrysler for five years, said
biuntly, “Millard’s proposals are
a sellout. Nobody can tell me
that Chrysler can’t pay us what
we're asking. They got a cut-

back in excess profits tax plus
an imerease in price. We got
nothing.”

Joe Hurley, a vet with three
years’ overseas service and com-
bat experience, is now at Gutta
Percha. “The government has let
us vets down by not keeping its
promises. We can’t accept the
wages were getting now because
they’re not enough to meet the
increased costs. We can bring up
thousands of rubber workers at
a moment’s notice and show Jus-
tice Roach that we're solidly in:
the strike.” —

Charlie Williamson, of McKin-
non’s Industry of St. Catherines,
was no less indignant. “Millard
has let us down. We're not going
to accept anything less than 15
cents, and I don’t mean the in-
stalment plan.” sj

inter-

Ullysses Charbonneau, who has
worked twenty years in CIL. Win-
sor, was brief but emphatic. “Mil-
lard or not, no chemical worker
is going back for 10 cents an
hour.’”’

Leo May who has put in no
less than twenty-five years in the
Hamilton Westinghouse plant
supported what union leaders had
been saying. “I certainly can’t en-
dorse Millard’s' proposals. . The
company can afford to meet our
demands now, not six months
from now.

“The boys have made up their
minds to stay on the picket line
until we win.”

Doris Acton, one of a consider-
able group of young women among
the trekkers, has been a desk clerk
in the Amalgamated Electric, Tor-
onto, for over a year. “This instal-
ment plan is not the right kind of
settlement Why not start the 15%
cents- NOW ?

John Lumsden who is publicity
chairman for his union, Local 113,
has been at Firestone’s, Hamilton,
for 19 years. “I emphatically don’t
think workers will accept. Our
morale is high. We are determined
to stay out another six weeks, if
necessary, to get what we're after.”

Julius Gottfried, five and a half
years with Electro Metallurgical,

won’t take that! Why pull out now
for 10 cents if Millard was offered
that before”.

To which his pal, Joe Kuzlear,
added, “If Mitchell wants to
remain as M.P. for Welland he'd
better do what he promised. He’s
fooling himself if he thinks we'll
drink his beer -again when the
next election comes ariund. We
want someone who does something
for the people.”

Several times when the Trib-
une interviewed a worker, there
was a group around. Invariably
the whole gang nodded assent. Do
you wonder why Mr. Millard stay-
ed far away from the strikers’
meeting that afternoon?

But he has’nt heard the end
yet. One worker from Windsor
(Chrysler) wore a deadly serious
look on his face when he suggested,
“I’m prepared to contribute $1 a
week into a fund for Millard’s re-
moval from leadership in the trade
union movement.” He was not
alone, as Mz. Millard will learn in
the days ahead.

PRES. DANIEL J. TOBIN

International Brotherhood of
Teamsters and Chauffeurs, lash-
@€d out against the nomination
of Sen. Theodore Bilbo (D.
Miss). Said Tobin: “Mississippi
can send Bilbo back to the Sen-
ate, but the Senate doesn’t need
to accept him. It should ship
him back, preferably in a cat-
tle car.’ During the Bilbo “elec-
tion” campaign, scores of Negro
voters were intimidated, brutal-
ly beaten up, and two Negro

families, men and women, mur ~

dered by lynching mobs, cam-
paigners for Bilbo. Mr. Byrnes
was eloquent on the “rights” of
Nazi collaborators in Yugoslavia,
Poland, and other liberated coun-
tries to vote, but he is silent on
the denials of these rights to
American negro citizens. Dlya
Ehrenberg, noted Soviet writer,
Placed the question, which so
iar the Byrnes’ atomists have
failed to answer: “What is bet-
ter, to deprive of the right to
vote a man who has a black
conscience, or one who has a
black complexion?” Pres. Tobin
has the formula for the Bilbes.
