The hearings, resulting from a request of the International Woodworkers of America for the elimination of the exemption from the 8 hour day—48 ‘hour week regulation for interior operations east of the Cascades, heard both union and company representations.

Appearing on behalf of the IWA, Nigel Morgan and William Langmead presented a 40 page brief outlining the union’s argu- -ment. The brief included - the following points:

@ Overtime rates are provid- ed by law for coast logging, sawmill and box factory opera- tions.

@ Overtime work permits is- sued by the B.C. Labor Depart- ment stipulate time and one half for overtime rates.

@ An eight hour day and 40 to 48 hour week is recognized throughout Canada and_ the United States as the basic work day and week.

@ This principle has been formulated in numerous govern- ment rulings and has been ob- served in other industries throughout the province.

@ The advisability of incent- ive overtime rates for maximum production in overtime condi- tions is implicit. in numerous government rulings.

Hours and overtime provisions of dozens of arbitration boards and union agreements as well as provisions for short log opera- tions in the pine country in the USA were also cited. The in- terior operators argued against the proposed revision.

Arcand--Canadian Fascist Demand For Trial Intensified

After allowing ten years of treacher

ous intrigue against the Canadian nation and against the Canadian working

the government of Canada finally in-

terned Adrian Arcand, Canada’s leading Nazi, in 1940. Now that the ruling circles in this

country no longer feel the immediate th

continue his and the

been released to monstrous activities,

charges of the Canadian people against him have been brushed aside.

When the British government

yeleased Sir Oswald Mosley, head of the British Union of Fascists, It tried to plead

“Compassion- ate grounds.” “Sir Oswald,” they said, “has phlebitus and there- Death to all Fascists — except those with phlebitus!”

But the Canadian government offers no reasons whatsoever for the release of Arcand. He has neither phiebitus nor any other malady,-save a mortal desire to undo the long struggle of the Canadian people for prosperous and democratic nationhood.

The Canadian casualties in this war testify to the desires of the Canadian people to wipe out Hit- Jerism in-all lands. The release of Arcand is a direct blow by the government at. everything thousands of our best sons’ have given their lives to win. The de- mand rising in the B.C. labor movement for the bringing to trial of Arcand on charges of treason is merging with a similar demand throughout all’ Canada. B.C. anti-fascists are not forget- ting—

@ That Adrien Arcand worked with the Nazi leaders long be- fore Hitler came to power. Nazi

reat to their interests posed by Hitlerism, Arcand has

for conferences with Arcand in 41932. Ludecke declares that Ar- cand and he “understood” each other and agreed to cooperate in every way.”

@e That Arcand _ worked throughout the ‘thirties in con- tact with Nazi agents in Ger- many. His Montreal paper, Le Patriote, he. boasted, “is known by Hitler and is very well ap- preciated by. the Nazi propa- ganda bureau.”

@® That Arcand organized open fascist rallies in many Canadian cities, and spoke alongside such Nazi spies as Fritz Kuhn, former leader of the German-American

Bund, now imprisoned in the Uni- ted States.

e@ That Arcand was active, along with such figures as Dr. Gabriel Lambert, in- the publica- tion of obscene fascist propa- ganda, such as the tabloid “The Key to the Mystery,” which con- sisted of the most vicious anti- Semitic diatribes the Nazi prop- ganda bureau could find.

@ That in 1988 Arcand became “Der Fuehrer” of a _ coast-to- coast fusion of fascist groups called the National Unity Party. This group gave its members military training, while Arcand issued his notorious proclamation of an impending “march on Ot- tawa” to take over the ‘govern- ment,-and attempts were made

agent Kurt Ludecke has des- cribed how he drove to Montreal

to carry disaffection into the Ca- nadian army.

Arrangements Completed

For LPP Summer School

“All Party Clubs throughout BC. should immediately submit names of their members they would like to see attend ‘the Labor-Progressive Provincial School this September if they have not already done so” Bill Turner, Convenor of

the School Committee an- nounced this week. “Since the school is being held from Sep- tember 4 to 13 inclusive, immedi- ately prior ta the provincial convention of the party, at which all clubs are expected to have delegates present, it is hoped that the students will be drawn from all over the province and not simply from the Lower Main- land. :

Personnel directors of the Greater Vancouver clubs have already met and are completing the lists of students from this area. Among the'city clubs par- ticipating is the new Ginger Goodwin Youth Club of young party, members, formed to carry forward the tradition of the great B.C. leader after whom the club is named. This is an

encouraging sign for the future of our party.”

The intensive study of scien- tific socialist theory which will | be conducted under the guidance of provincial LPP Leader Fer- gus McKean and National Lead- er Tim Buck is designed to ground people who have already shown leadership ability in the Marxist-Leninist principles es- sential to’ their future work.

The schoo] will be held at Or- lomah Beach, the campsite being available through the coopera- tion of the Children’s Summer Camp Committee.

_The School Committee, Room 209 Shelly Building, includes Bill

Turner, Maurice Rush, Ruth Tur- ner, Al Grinkus and Wes Wot- ton. .

@ That when Arcand and 11

fellow -fascists _were finally

brought to the courtroom in 1940 the trial was suddenly and with- out explanation-stopped and the 12 interned. Although the Minis-

ter of Justice had declared at the time that these men had been guilty of a plot against the state and had been in communication with the enemy, the charges laid in’ 1940 have never been dis- posed of. —

Prior to the federal elections, it was emphatically stated in Ot- tawa circles that there was no truth to the rumours of Arcand’s impending release. Now-that the elections: are over, Arcand, with- out ever being cleared of the charges laid against him in 1940, is free to resume his treachery to Canada. His release is an open incitement: to ‘all the most reac- tionary forces in British Colum- bia, to those men, still amongst us. who worked with Arcand and cthers to bring fascism to this province. The labor movement has given a lead to all citizens—Ar- cand must be brought to trial.

Most important issue of the day is shelter for the shelt-

erless . HOUSING . and, as progressive readers know to expect, the Van- ecouver Sun has led from the start in the discussion and clarification of this vital matter
