Established 1924 Labor- Ban all strike breakers' A drive to outlaw the use of strikebreakers during a legal strike has been launched by Vancouver and District Labour Cioun- cil. The move is an aftermath of recent strikes in. which the use of strike breakers and scabs caused picket line violence. Council delegates gavei unanimous backing to an executive recommendation that will press the provincial government to ban the use of strikebreakers by employers. An amendment to B.C. labor legislation will be sought. Hiring of strikebreakers during recent strikes was blamed for trouble at picket lines when police dogs and police ..protection were used to herd scabs into struck plants. their pledge to have Bill 43 â the Trade Union Act which is the root of the trouble â repealed as quickly as possible. Delegates said that the use of police dogs in the strike at the Vancouver plant of the Allied Engin eering was a blot on the The increasing use of community. At least one injunctions by employers member of a citizens' in- in efforts to cripple legitimate strike action also was strongly condemned and unionists renewed, formation line that turned up at the plant to aid injunction-banned strikers was bitten by a police do«. Invitation to trouble Use 6T strikebreakers in legal strikes is a weapon being used more frequently by employers in B.C. and labor warned it was an open invitation to trouble and to a breakdown of labor relations. Council secretary Paddy Neale warned that as long as employers were to freely obtain injunctions which enable non-union scabs to cross picket lines there was the risk of violence. George Johnston, Amalgamated Meat Cutters, said management has deliberately done everything % can to provoke unions into some action they will regret, adding that scabbing had become an acceptable practice to B.C. em- ployers. Infamous anti-labor law ALDERMAN Halford Wilson, a veteran of 21 years on city council, has been endorsed by Vancouver and District Labour Council for mayor in the Vancouver December civic election.

"And the real offenders who caused this state of affairs are strangely silent," he said. "I refer to the Social Credit government which gave the province its - infamous anti- labour laws."

PAT O'NEAL Clerks union loses appeal on picketing Retail Food and Drug Clerks Union lost a close 2-1 decision of B.C. Court of Appeal in its appeal against an injunction prohibiting picketing at Zellers store in Whalley. The injunction stopped striking union members from forming a picket line in front of the store which is located in the Dell Shopping Centre. Mr. Justice Wilson, who upheld the union, said he would dissolve the injunction. In his reasons, he said: 'What is questioned here is the general prohibition of picketing, legal or otherwise, within the area of the shopping centre." j He said that the firm offered evidence in connection with its claim for damages caused by illegal picketing but there was no proof of damage from legal picketing or its effects. There is no hope for industrial peace in B.C. as long as Bill 43 remain)* on the statute books, B.C. Federation of Labour secretary Pat O'Neal warned .hi*- month. O'Neal told the Financial Exec utive Institute that Bill 43 â the Trade-Unions Act âis designed to weaken the trade union movement and bring it to its knees. In a hard-hitting speech to the employer group he said that in â¢ the last 10 years under the Bennett government, a pattern of anti-Union activity has developed which 'threatens to result in B.C. undergoing labor strife unequalled in North America." O'Neal also named the men and organizations he said were responsible for the anti-union campaign. He mentioned Howard Mitchell of Mitchell Press-^=-'-'boih~as-theâ driving force behind -md as a one-man John Birch society, he has conducted a personal union* smashing campaign, preaching and writing anti-labor doctrines at a fantastic pace."** He mentioned J. V. Clyne and his associates at MacMillan, Bloedel, Powell River Co.â"this forst giant has pursued a steady course of anti-labor policy ... I would recommend to businessmen and industrialists in this province to watch this outfit very â carefully because I believe, and I am not alone in this belief, that they are not just out to get laboi but that their long-range goal is to achieve a position of sue! ecoiumic power as to constitute an economic dictatorship in this province." He mentioned financier and oil-" magnate Frank McMahonâ"as chief financial benefactor of the Social Credit party he has _jp ported and pursued an anti-laboi policy culminating just before the last provincial election, in a threat to take 10,000 jobs out of B.C. unless the Socreds .were returned to office." " He mentioned the B.C. division of the Canadian Manufacturer's Association â "there is little doubt that in their recent advocacy of still more anti-labor legislation they are parroting the National Association of Manufacturers lin the U.S.) ... It is extremely disappointing to see they have not taken the time or effort to seek a constructive solution to problems of labor relations and, instead have, fallen back on a campaign of senseless opposition to organized labor." And finally, 0'Ne*a* mentioned The Province, and the Bennett government. Bill 43 has three things design od to weaken the trade union movement, he said. â¢ â¢ Prohibition of iirformational picketing and the secondary boycott. This has always been one cf the few ways by which labor could hope to compete with the financial might of management. â¢ Establishment of unions as legal entities, liable to suitâthis' enables unscrupulous corporations to force unions, particularly smaller unions, into endless expensive ligitation to the point where, regardless of the outcome, the local union' is gravely weakened, if not destroyed. â¢ The indiscrirhinant allowance of temporary ex-parte injunctions whose temporary existence seems to stretch out for; weeks, crlp*-- rling a strike effort. O'Neal said that when labor's strike weapon is removed, labor is left impotent. "It is,inevitable that if labor's historicVjight to conduct a legal strike is removed, labor will have no alternative to accepting destruction or striking illegally. And I am quite sure thaOic ,one in"* this country is prepared tc accept destruction." LABOR MAKES SOME GAINS Winter works Minimum wage up to $1 Pr°grams ._â,%# | T OTTAWA â All ( "If we are to support that part of the judgment which prohibits any picketing on the area covered by the easement (Zeller's leased property in the shopping centre) we must surmise that the legal picketing there will cause damage. "This may well be true but we are not, I think, entitled to act on this sort of prophecy. I would allow the appeal insofar as the judgment forbids all picketing on the premises covered by the easement." But the court voted 2-1 to uphold the injunction. Judges Tysoe and Sheppard said union members had no more right to enter the leased property than it had to enter on! property without the consent of the owner. The strong campaign by trade unions through the B.C. Federation of Labour paid off â at least partially â in new minimum wage regulations of $1 an hour set by the provincial Board of Industrial Relations. » The board announced after public hearings held earlier this year, that minimum rates in the manufacturing, mercantile and hotel industries will be 51 an hour effective Jan. 1, 1963. The Federation had urged a rate of $1.25. The board also wiped out the previous differential in rates be tween men and women, setting one rate for both. This had been one of the major points in the Federation's argument before the hearings. Previous legal minimum rates in the mercantile and hotel industry had been 60 cents and in manufacturing, 75 cents for men and 60 for women. The board said it would announce rates for other industrinl categories at a later date. The new regulations permit learner rates in the three industries for a three-month period: 85 cents for the first month, 90 cents for the second month and 95 cents for the third. The new rates also specify payment of time and a half for work over eight hours a day. Pat O'Neal, secretary of the Federation, said labor is disappointed that the board did not accept the request for $1.25 an Two firms ordered to rehire men Two Vancouver firms were rapped this month for discharging workers -fit* union activity â and were ordered to reinstate employees laid off.

Duda and Son has rehired two workmen after Painters Local 138 won an injunction restraining the firm from intimidating employees and an order that two men be reinstated. hour minimum. "But we are pleased that some progress has been made and that the $1 minimum which has been established will serve as a base that will soon lead to the $1.25 minimum." He said the elimination of the discrimination in rates between male and female workers was a .welcome change. 'Thousands of workers through- it B.c . will benefit from this new order and we hope they appreciate the tremendous fight which has been waged by the Federation so long on their behalf," he said. He publicly thanked the Provin cial Council of Women, the Business and Professional Women's group, the Women of the New Democratic Party and the CatJi- olic church for support in the campaign to win the change. OTTAWA â All Canadian provinces have accepted the winter works incentive program for the coming winter, on the same basis as last year. The program runs from Oct. 15 to next April 30.

Burnaby | HE 1-5577 ,s Columbia treaty give-away must be blocked NOW Co-operation with the U.S. on the Columbia, YES. But not on present plan. Here's why: By C. P. (Paddy) Neale General Secretary Vancouver Labour Council The federal government has said that it intends to ask Parliament to ratify the draft Columbia river treaty and announced its intention to allow the long-term export . of hydro-electricity. We in the labor movement are opposed to these policies. We fully agree with General McNaughton who has maintained that ratification of the draft Columbia river treaty would amount to- "servitude in perpetuity of our vital rights and interests." The draft treaty is a particularly striking example of the, policy of "integration" â which means the production of Canadian raw materials for the benefit of United States industry. THs pblicymeahs theEXPORT OF JOBS. In recent times the consequences of this policy have brought the "dollar" crisis, austerity, high prices, chronic mass unemployment, and near national bankruptcy. Canada neds to process its own raw. materials for use in the development of our manufacturing and secondary industry. This is the only policy that will provide full employment in Canada. The draft Coumbia treaty means the export of the most decisive raw material in modern industry â electric power. It means continuation of mass unemployment and austerity. â¢ â¢ â¢ â A tew jobs would be provided in building the Canadian storage dams for the U.S. downstream power plants but the consequences of the draft treaty are very clear and were spelled out in a phamph- let issued by the B.C. Federation of Labour over a year ago: Cheaper power for American industries. "More jobs for Americans â fewer jobs for Canadians. Cheaper U.S. good to compete with Canadian products. If we developed Columbia river power in Canada for our own use it would, provide the basis for half a million jobs. (This is the estimate, given by Bert Herridgev M.P. (or Kootenay West, who has announced his vigorous opposition to the draft treaty.) But the draft Columbia river treaty makes no provision for the development of power in Canada. Confusion The Americans have built power dams on the Columbiaâ we have not. Because of this, payrolls in the U.S. Columbia river basin are $700,208,080 compared to $36,437,000 in the Canadian section. These figures are from the report of the International Joint Commision, and are for the latest year available. This fantastic ratio â 20 to 1 â would be increased if the draft Columbia river treaty is ratified. * » * There is much confusion about this draft treaty. In essence, however, it is a proposition to sell Canadian stored water to produce cheap hydro-power in 4he U.S. No power would be produced in Canada, and in the Bennett version before Parliament, no power""' would be returned to Canada. The terms of the treaty give virtual ownership and control to the U.S. of a huge volume of Canadian water. We are to be paid cash for this raw material based on a formula which diminishes rapidly with time. Competent engineers have calculated that the cash we would get in return would scarcely be enough to cover the interest charges on the half billion dollars we would have to borrow in the U.S. to build the storage dams in order to supply the stored water for U.S. downstream power plants. In addition the Canadian storage dams would flood out the entire Arrow Valley, destroying valuable land and wild life resources. The treaty also forbids the future diversions of the Columbia or its tributaries in Canada. The head of the Saskatchewan Power Corporation has seriously- _>j*o- posed thaTColumbia river water be diverted for irrigation purposes on the Prairies. .This possibility would be ruled out if the draft treaty were ratified. Art alternative Is there an alternative to thjr draft Columbia river treaty? Yes, there isâone which would both maximize Canadian interests and at the same time provide large benefits to the U.S. It is the development plan advocated by General McNaughton. Consider for a moment the nature of the raw material involved â stored water. Most raw materials can be used only once. They go into the final product and that is tha ond of them. But stored water can be put to use many, times â provided it is first put to use generating electricity upstream"â in Canada in the case of the Columbia. In order to do this, Canadians must have control of their own water supply. They cannot give first call on it to the Americans, as the draft treaty does. ___ . General McNaughton's plan gives Canada control over her own^rcsoyrce. We would build a different set of dams â dams which would be used primarily for power production In Canada, and secondly for storage for U.S. use. These dams would involve no destructive flooding â and our right to make future diversions would be guaranteed. Cost less McNaughton has shown that his plan would cost a quarter of a billion dollars less and produce half a million kilowats more. Nobody has been able to contradict these figures! On November 29, 1961, in a speech in Prince George, then Justice Minister Fulton, the chief federal negotiator, had this to say of the Bennett version of he draft Columbia river treaty â the version the Conservatives now propose that Parliament ratify: "An act of such reckless and improvident philanthropy that it would make this country the laughing stock of the world. The Americans haven't been offered such a windfall since the purchase of Manhattan Island. The Bennett-U.S squeeze play won't work. The power sell-out has to be resisted." t Yes, the power sell-out has to be resisted. We in the labor movement appeal to all people in B.C. to protect'â¢â our common future. We must place the interests ol our country first. Let Parliament know in the strongest terms possible that the draft Columbia river reaty must be rejected. Robert Strachan, Leader of the Official Opposition in Victoria recently stated: - "We can expect Mr. Bennett to plunge B.C. into billions of dollars worth of long-term debt commitments that will have to be repaid by future generations. We have a federal and a provincial government so bankrupt of economic ideas that they have mortgaged the future of Canada to cover their deficiencies of today. In the future more and more of our young people will have to go to the U.S. to get jobs â jobs that wil be created in the U.S. out of the power that Mj*. Diefenbaker and Mr. Bennett propose to give so generously to the U.S." We in the labor movement say: "Block this gigantic give-away.' Co-operation with the U.S. "on the ColumbiaâYES; but abject surrender of our vital interests â NEVER Outlaw the use of strike breakers ^Ulany cities and state3 in the U.S. have passed legislation outlawing the use of strike breakers or scabs in legal strikes. Labor in Canada never envisaged the day when it would become necessary to lobby for this same type of legislation. But today, in B.C., we find that strike breaking and scabbing is becoming more and more prevalent. Trade unions don't like taking strike action. We presume that most employers and government don't like the idea of strikes, either. But at times the strike becomes the last weapon members of a trade union can use to bring about a just set tlement when dealing with a reactionary employer. In the last 30 years in Canada, there has been very little violence attached to legitimate stirkes. But the introduction of scabs and the use of strike breakers (be they professional strike breakers or supervisory employees of the company) can lead to the reintroduction o f violence. Place yourself in the spot of the man or woman on the picket line. How would you feel if a scab walked through your legal picket line to take away your job and your livelihood? * Any employer who stoops to the practice of hiring scabs is inviting trouble at the picket line. Labor's fear is that, if the employer continues to use scabs to break a strike, violence could become prevalent. Labor does not want to see this happen. We presume the employer and govern ment don't either. * - p The solution is in the hands of the employer. He calls the tune, whether strike breakers are employed or not. If he fails to act responsibly, then there is no other course than for the government to bring in legislation prohibiting the use of scabs during a legitimate strike.

(Continued on Page 5). -â ?*=-- CROSS SECTION What price . Would total peace bring on a shattering depression* for the industrial nations of the west? Do we depend for our economic well-being on guns rather than on butter? In the past 16 months, at the behest of the United Nations, 10 top economists â from the Soviet bloc as well as from the west â have been taking a close Took af these questions. '} Their unanimous finding now is that peace need not mean bread lines.' On the contrary, "the achievement of general and complete disarmament would be an unqualified blessing to all mankind." At first look the problem appears staggering. The world today spends some $120 billion a year to sustain arms and armies. This is equal to eight.or nine per cent of all the goods and services that man produces. But more than money is in- Sale of Goods A sale of handicraft articles, made by arthritic patients at the Canadian Arthritis and Rheumatism Society Hospital, will be held during December at 509 Granville. All proceeds go to the furthering of care for arthritic patients. Your support would be greatly appreciated. Dim r ma ment does not mean depression for Western notions volved. Some 50 million people are directly engaged in the pursuits of war. About 20 million are in uniform; another 3 million are making arms. Could the world's economies endure the blow if this money and these millions of men were suddenly diverted to other tasks? But the problem looks more staggering than this. Take, for example, the United States where total peace would require the relocation of six to seven per cent of the labor force. At the end of the last war, twice this many men were relocated with little trouble. And, as the UN experts point out, it would need only a one per cent boost in US public and private spending to provide new jobs for those idled by disarmament. The real problem, indeed, would be not in the mechanics of relocation, but in assuring intelligent economic planning â by each nation and by groups of nations. For such "have" nations as Canada, disarmament would mean more funds for building schools and low-cost housing, for MARK HAMILTON U. W. (BILL) HAMILTON Hamilton Mortuary ltd.

Disarmament might also well mean shorter hours, higher pensions, tax cuts, and subsidies to hard- hit industries. For the "have-nots", disarmament should mean more credits for the things they yearn to do and have. If she disbanded her armed forces, Canada alone could each year easily provide 10 times the $50 million she now gives for Colombo plan aid to southeast Asia. s Internationally, there could be joint utilization of atomic energy, space research, exploration of the two polar oceans, and even pro- jets to change the climate of vast areas.

A resolution condemned the actions of the police chief in ordering the use of dogs, riot guns and tear gas to herd scabs across legal picket lines. Women and children formed part of the citizens' information line that turned out at the Allied plant 200 strong to protest the use of strikebreakers.

Needless to say, after having come some 650 miles, we are by new quite used to long distance walking and though the weather is getting very cold and w? expect no improvement as we enter the prairies, we are equipped with warm winter clothing. We have slept in such places as churches, private homes, abandoned houses, a barn, etc. But since most nights find us on the desert ed roadside, we pitch tent and set up housekeeping. We have had the opportunity to meet and talk with many people and the coverage of our walk by the press has, in general, been very good. The funds to support the walk came largely from our own savings, partly from social events held at the coast and also from donations. The German church president, D. Martin Niemoller, a friend of Hans Sinn, agreed with our aims and has given us moral and financial support.

Their statement on the election issues: In view of the ever increas ing tax load on the average citizen which s not compensated for by increased services and, in view of the inequitable assessment system which places an unjust share of the tax load on the average home owner, it is our opinion that ah alternative should be provided for the voters. The average home owner in the past year, has seen his taxes take a sharp jump, whereas industry, which can afford to pay, has not had its assessments increased. Our proposals to meet the ever increasing needs of the municipality are as follows:â â¢ A basic exemption of $2,- 000 from taxation on residential improvement. â¢ The introduction of a graduated business tax based on ability to pay. â¢ The immediate levy of the general purpose mill rate on industrial machinery â¢ The federal government to assume full cost of elementary school education, both capital and __>- erating costs. If these proposals were put into effect, much needed capital expenditures could be made without any increase in taxes. For instance it is our contention that providing our tax proposals' were instituted, the District of North Vancouver could put the proposed "sewer bylaw into effect with no increase in taxes for the average home owner. I; the presently proposed sewer bylaw for the District "of North Vancouver is put effect and sewer construction is financed by the methods proposed by the present administration this will result in a tax increase for sewer construction alone of from $80 to $100 per year for many years. Therefore, we say that unless these proposals are put into effect then the sewer bylaw should be defeated and Be sure to vote Union members are urged to get out and vote in the civic elections in DecemberT Labor should play a full role in civic affairs. Municipal government directly affects the day-to-day living of all persons. Arne Hansen, chairman of Vancouver and District Lab-, our Council's municipal committee issued this message as the important election time rolls around: â "Although many community problems such as education, taxation etc., cannot be resolved alone at the municipal level,.nevertheless munici pal governments are directly involved and can initiate action. "By speaking up at the Union of B.C. Municipalities, policies'* such as buying or giving contracts to union firms, keeping a municipal work force instead of letting public work out to private firms, putting, the burden of taxes on the strongest shoulders, keeping close watch on shopping hours, encouraging and building senior citizens and low income housing, tightening By-Laws â all these things, and many more, can be accomplished." only those areas where present conditions constitute a health hazard or areas that would in the near future become a health hazard should be serviced with sewers from general revenue, the problem of health is the responsibility of all of the people. Sports facilities:â We are in favor of the City and District of North Vancouver jointly establishing a sports arena in the vicinity of 25th and Lonsdale. The needs of the young people of the area should not be treated as lightly as they have make available recreational facilities for their use. In this regard we are trailing other districts of much smaller size. COMPLIMENTS OF Your Standard Housewarmer Service FURNACE OIL SUPPLY CO. LTD. 2221 Main St. Vancouver, B.C.
