» A ripple of excitement ran through Boilermakers’ Hall on Tuesday May i, as an unexpected guest arrived at the gala May Day Dance, given under the aus- pices of the May Day Committee.

Our PA will be a front line soldier in the elec- tion battle; it will carry the banner for a united labor movement, and labor representation in Canada’s next gov- ernment; because this is the way to secure the victories that have been won at such a cost.
