Price control
“campaign opens

| NEW WESTMINSTER,
| B.C —With assurance from
Mayor William Mott that he
will support its efforts, a citi-
'zen’s committee here intends
to enlist the cooperation of
all Royal. City organizations
in its campaign to retain
price comtrols and investigate
Tising prices and commodity
| shortages.

| At @ rally here last Sunday, Har-
old Pritchett, TWA district presi-
‘dent, declared that the $6,000,000
" m wage increases won by lumber
-workers through strike action
- earlier this year had been wiped
"out by the federal government’s
lifting of price controls.

' “There is a conspiracy on foot
| by a powerful group of big
businessmen to withhold essen-
tial commodities until all con-
trols are removed and the foods
can be sold at higher prices for
\ greater profit,” Pritchett charg-
' He reperted that lumber inter-
ests were now lobbying at Ottawa
or an increase in lumber prices of
$15 a thousand and using the re
‘cent wage increases won by lum-

"ber workers to further their de
mand
| “The lumber industry is well

ble to afford the new wage scale
‘out of its profits,” he said, assert-
ing that operators by holding baci
lumber supplies at the mills were
‘deliberately creating shortages in
an effort te substantiate their
‘claim that only price increases
‘and removal of controls could solve
e problem.

Others who addressed the meet-
€ were Bert Marcuse, director of
the Trade Union Research Bureau;
| Perey Smith, president of TWA
_ Local 1-357, and Mrs. Grace Strom,
