cific Tribune. —

Unions representing several
thousand workers have now ad-
dressed letters and resolutions to
the station management urging
the broadcast be reinstated. It is
also known the station has receiv-
ed hundreds of letters and phone
calls from individuals.

The CCL - Vancouver Labor
Council at its last meting re-
ferred the matter of the broad-
cast ban toe its grievance com-
mInittee, posing, the possibility of
CKWX being placed on the ‘un-
fair to labor’ list.

Acting to extend the campaign
in defence of labor’s right to
radio time, the Pacific Tribune,
which sponsored Parkin’s ‘“ia-
bor Looks Behind the Headlines”,
has arranged a short speaking
tour of Vancouver Island points
for its radio editor.

The first meeting will be in
Port Alberni on Sunday, Decem-
ber 1, preceded by a broadcast
over Alberni’s Station CJAV on
Saturday night. Other meetings
are scheduled for Campbell River
on December 3; Ladysmith, Dec.
5, and Lake Cowichan Friday,

Among those unions and -~ cen-

already protested to GK W2
against the ban are the following:

Unions protest Parkin radio ban
by CK WX, to conduct own vote

Mounting protests by organized labor over the action of Vancouver’s Station CKWX
in banning Al Parkin’s daily labor news commentary were reported this week to the Pa-

Nadian Seamen’s Union, all of
Vancouver; several locals of the
International Woodworkers of

America; the Zeballos and Texada.
Island locals of the International
Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter
Workers; CCL Blacksmiths Union:
Marine Workers and Boilermakers
Union; the Joint ARIL-CCL Shop
Stewards Committee in the Pa-
Cific Drydock plant; and the
Trade Wnion Research Bureau:

IWA iocal 1-367 of Mission has
unanimously approved a resolu-
tion at its last general meeting
which pointed to the fact that
“organized employers are able to
purchase all the time they want
on] thes aim == yet labor-spon-
sored programs are denied the
use of the air while representing
the great majority of the popu-
lation.”

Members of the Zeballos Dis-
trict Mine and Mill Workers
Union sent a personal letter to
Al Parkin “expressing appreci-
ation for your radio program.
. . . Your broadcasts have been
instructive and haye brought
national and world events to us
as they came about. Im this
remote locality that is, I assure
you, greatly appreciated.”
Pressure by the trade unions

on the CKW:X management has
brought one concession, their
agreement to pay for the inser-
tion in labor newspapers of a
“ballot” which is to be filled out
by readers and ‘sent in to the
station as a means of determin-
ing the “popularity” of the Par-

kin broadcast.

hearing of his appeal.

For the past five months Rose
has been held in isolation in
Bordeaux, Montreal’s almost med-
ieval prison. Defence lawyers
have made two applications. for
bail, but each time they have
been turned down on the pretext
that Rose would ‘skip bail’

Quebec courts have stub-
bornly ignored\the fact that the
member for Cartier, who receiv-
ed over 10,000 votes in the 1945
elections, had ample opportun-
ity to ‘skip’ when he was re-
leased on bail during April and
May of 1946, had he intended
to take such 2 course. They
have also ignoreq the sentiment
of Cartier voters, 4,000 of whom
in a three-hour canvass signed
a petition demanding bail for
their fighting representative.

Mrs. Ered Rose told me that
she had decided to place the mat-
ter personally before Prime Min-

Rose persecution laid
before Prime Minister

By ROBERT LAXER

OTTAWA.—Mrs. Fred Rose came to the Capital this
week to appeal personally to Prime Minister Mackenzie King
against the shameless persecution of her husband,. Member
of Parliament for Montreal-Cartier, who is now awaiting

ister King béecause he could rec-:
tify this disgraceful political dis-
crimination by a simple phone
Call.-to Justice Minister St. Laur-
ent.

it is common knowledge in
Montreal that St. Laurent was
responsible for the appointment
of Philippe Brais as crown prose-
cutor against Fred Rose, and de-
fence lawyers point out that a
statement by St. laurent, public
or otherwise, that he does not
object to the granting of bail
pending hearing of the appeal
would constitute a new - legal
point for making another applica-—
tion for bail.

The Fred Rose Defence Com-
mitte plans to conduct a nation—
wide campaign to force the fed-
eral government to concede that
elementary justice demands that

Rose be released on bail.

Big LPP bazaar
will ease Xmas
shopping rush —

Value for your dollar and a
quantity of those hard-to-get.
articles — this is the general
theme of the Annual Bazaar
on. Dec. 11-12-13 in the Sea-
men’s Hall, 111 Dunsmuir St.
Thousands ask every day for can-
med goods, woollen gceods and a
million and one things that we
all expected to be on the market —
by this time. The scarcities are
as bad as during the war years
with prices higher than ever, and
even though the committee can’t |
promise you all the things you
would like they can guarantee ~
that a number of scarce items
will show faces on the three days.

Christmas is a matter of days
away with the mad shopping
Scramble in high gear. It’s 2
headache for so many to mull
over the limited standardized -
goods and then settle for some-
thing that you did not really want
to buy. Just te buy something
different that is well made and
at a price that you can afford .
will be a treat to all shoppers.
This is what the bazaar is offer-
ins along with an atmosphere of
leisure and entertainment. Where
better can one shop? Take 2a
little time out and have a. whirl:
at the games while making the
rounds of the many booths and
stalls, bearing in mind that aside
from getting the best shopping
bargains of the season you are
assisting the working elass in its
forward’ march. ~*

Candies, nuts and presents will ~
greet the kids on Friday, Dec. 13,
with Santa Claus in ‘alll his array
from two in the afternoon tc
4.30. A monstrous tree will be
the main attraction of the com-
mittee’s tribute to the children

'of the workers, and they can hol-

jer their heads off in the sing- -
songs. Yeah, it will be fun for
the small ones and the grown-ups -
will get just as much of qa kick
out of it (they usually do—re-
member the days of electric
trains, fellows?) :

Several of the clubs are really
going all out by the reports of
their activities and the amount
of goceds being made is daily
Swelling. The West End Club has
had a ‘leather class organized for
some. weeks and will contribute
many articles. The sewing circies
of.the clubs are asking for more
maaterial (a good omen), and
among them is Fairview, Com-
mercial Drive, Kitsilano and the
West End, to mention a few.

The Kits club wishes to an-
nounce that they are sponsoring
a shower and tea on Sunday,
Nov. 24, in the Peretz Institute,
1173 West Broadway, from three
in -the afternoon until 11 in the
evening.
