Graveside tribute to labor leader Sunday The late Fred Collins is shown here speaking to a national delegation of unemp toyed # ; Honor memory of Fred Collins Friends of the late Fred Collins will hold a brief memorial service at his graveside in soldiers’ plot, Mountain View cemetery (33rd and Fraser) this coming Sunday, September 20, at 11 a.m. Collins, a nationally known Communist trade union leader for many .years, died suddenly one year ago, on September 21, 1952, when stricken with a heart attack. Born in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1897, Collins served with the Ar- gyle and Sutherland Highlanders in the First World War. He emigrated to Canada in the late twenties and in 1934 was one of the leaders of the Stratford furni- ture strike, defying troops and tanks which were sent in to break picket lines. The workers held firm and won the first Canadian union agreement in the furniture industry. : In 1935 when the late Arthur Evans led the great On-To-Ottawa trek from Vancouver, Fred Collins was the leader of the Ontario un- employed who marched on foot to Ottawa to place their demands be- fore Prime Minister R. B. Bennett. When the Communist Party of Canada was banned in 1940, Col- lins was one of the Communist leaders interned at Petewawa and later at Hull. Released in 1942, he resumed trade union work and helped to organize the John Inglis plant in Toronto. Following the war he was appointed internation al representative for the Fur and Leather Workers Union, a post he was compelled to give up in 1948 because of ill health. Fred Collins came to Vancol with his wife, Tillie, in of 1948.

The hotel has two wash rooms for women: A sign over one read “Ladies” while the designated ‘Indian Ladies.” The signs had béen up for some time when the new owner hotel, and following the union’s protest he has ordered two-neon signs for the wash rooms, reading simply “Ladies.” “Writing to the union, S. W. Smith of the Hotels Association said: “I feel there was no inten- tion of discrimination on behalf of the present owners. Further, may I say that the B.C. Hotels Associa- tion is a very democratic organiza- tion and if there is any case of dis- crimination, it is immediately brought to the hotel man‘s atten- tion by this association.” Commenting on the case and on racial discrimination in general, an editorial in the ‘current issue of The Fisherman says: . “Both headquarters of the UFAWU and the Nanaimo Local are to be congratulated for caus- ing the removal of an obnoxious example of racial discrimination in a Duncan hotel. It smacks of) the United States’ method of label- ling drinking fountains and other public conveniences with the words ‘white’ and ‘colored’ when a hotel places a sign on one wash- room marked ‘Ladies’ and a sign on another reading ‘Indian Ladies.’ “We are pleased also that the B.C. Hotels Association has stated its opposition to such discrimina- tion in reporting that the signs will be replaced by two carrying the simple non-discriminatory term *Ladies.’ “Tf this were the only example of racial bigotry in our country there would be little to worry government.

And if the action on this case were typical of all business attitudes, at least the external evidences of discrimination would not last long. “Unfortunately, however, it must be admitted that this was only one small sore under which an extremely diseased body exists. “The Vancouver City Council, for example, despite the pressure of two ‘labor’ aldermen, has fail- ed to enact an anti-discrimination bylaw which would protect people of all origins and colors from the humiliating and completely un- justifiable discrimination that goes on in too many forms of business allegedly serving the public. “The provincial government too has so far shied away from in- stituting legislation to protect workers from discriminatory prac- tices in employment. The govern- ments themselves in their own hir- ing system actually carry on poli- cies which deny colored workers the same rights as those accorded whites. ' “We are certainly not free from discriminatory practices in the fishing industry. There still exist cases. of separate facilities, forms of segregation, and tragically, an at- | titude of superiority by some few white persons toward their Chin- ese, Japanese, or Indian brothers and sisters. few “Happily, the offenders aro!
