C., OCTOBER Labor Again Enters Municipal Contest Labor's Training Ground Has Been on Civic Bodies— Winnipeg Is Good Example — Labor Vote Is Growing All Over the World. 14 FIVE CENTS PER COPY LABOR WILL NEVER BE BEATEN. It may have a few reverses but it soon goes forward again, with renewed vigor, hopes and challenges. Its march must ever be onward, its message mtisi continue to be heard and heeded, its political and industrial power to be used in the interest of those who perform the useful work in human society. Slowly but surely the hosts of labor are reaching the goal strived foi during these many years of human progress. The tools, and macbinerv. and knowledge rtf production are ready. Labor applied to these machines and the'natural resources, produces all wealth. Labor enjoys but a small part of that wealth. Labor must enjoy more of the wealth, ave, labor must enjoy all of the wealth, in a new social order, with poverty, crime and greed abolished, and love, beauty, peace and plenty taking its place. That is why labor will never be beaten; that is why labor is once.more taking its place in the forthcoming municipal elections in Vancouver. South Vancouver and Burnaby. How Winnipeg Does It. * This time labor will put forward greater efforts to increase its repre sentation on the civic bodies. These are Mie stepping stones to greater achievements.

A. A. Heaps was a former Labor alderman in Winnipeg. S. J. Farmer was formerly Labor alderman and then mayor of Winnipeg. Now he is a Labor member of the Provincial Legislative Assembly. John Queep was a Labor alderman, now he is a Labor member pf the Provincial Legislative Assembly. /Wm. Ivens is another active Labor member of the Legislative Assembly. Calgary Not Far Behind. ln Calgary, which is now represented by H. B. Adshead in the Federal Parliament, Aldermen Fred J. White and R. H. Parkyn now sit as Labor members, along with four ethers in the Alberta Legislative Assembly. Two other aldermen aVid three school trustees are also in office. British Labor Sweeps Onward. In Great Britain, the city, county and rural councils are the places where hundreds of Labor members of Parliament received their training. Several thousand Labor men and women are active members of these different civic bodies, so the British Labor movement will not have any shortage of material for.the several hundred seats it has yet _to capture to obtain control of the House of Parliament. And it will get there. In the last municipal elections Labor gained 136 seats. It has also won four bye-elections > since the parliamentary elections. Australia Keeps Ahead. In Australia the same condition exists. ' The city councils were the scene of early Labor efforts, and today five of the six states are controlled by Labor, {n the Federal Scott Nearing To Lecture on Sunday Professor Scott Nearing-' internationally known author, economist and lecturer will address a series of meet- ings"in Vancouver under the auspices Of the Greater Vancouver Central Council of the Canadian Labor Party. Professor Nearing has just returned from a lengthy tour of European countries where he has been studying post-war conditions. It is expected that he will have exceptionally interesting information, gathered at first hand, to-give out to those who attend all the public lectures, and his world-wide reputation as a pleasing and entertaining speaker ensures' an exceptional treat for those who are fortunate enough to hear him. On the completion of-Dr. Nearing's present itinerary he is again going to Europe for a period of three years' study and reseajch, so that he will not be heard in this country for some years.- » His Meetings and Subjects are: Sunday,1 Oct. 17th, at the Empress Theatre, Gore and Hastings.

Municipal Activities Help Winnipeg. Labor political situation. Comrade Heaps stated he was looking for information and guidance rather to make a speech and was most desirous of getting the viewpoint of the wprkers at the Coast and their attitude on the various items of labor and social legislation likely to come before the next session of the House. Comrade Heaps ex- plaJMd the various clauses in the Old Ag#Jpen-'ion Bill brought in at the last session of Parliament and explained that under the terms of the B.N.A. Act, the Government could only lay down thc terms of such an act and it would then be up to the Provinces to put the Act into force when they so desired. He believed that the success of the political movement in Winnipeg was due to the fact that there the workers had interested themselves most in civic matters and after having obtained a large following in civic elections, the election of lab. r men to the Legislatures was made easier. There were many viewpoints ex pressed and a very profitable three hours was spent.—W.D. MILL AND FACTORY WORKERS R. G.

Carpenters to Start Social Activities Carpenters Local 452 held their special quarterly meeting' in the Ham- ilton Hall last Monday evening, when several matters of importance to the craft were dealt with. It was decided by an overwhelming majority to adopt the working button in conjunction with the other building trades and also to use the card system. The proposal of the Building Committee to purchase a site for a building was left over to some future1 date. The carpenters voted in favor of the Building Trades Council putting in a demand for the five day week for all building trades when the present agreement expires. The Social Committee have the arrangements well in hand for the first whist drive and 'dance of the season, to be held in thc Cotillion Hall on October 28. This series of dances will be the main feature of the local's social activities this winter.—W.D. FOR says CRANBROOK PREPARING NEXT ELECTION ■ «J. Bond of Cranbrook, B. C. that the Cranbrook Labor Party is organizing its forces for the Provincial election. A considerable amount of interest was created during the recent election and now the local is going to build up the memberrhip and start a campaign for the next election. He forwards eight yearly, subscriptions to the Labor Statesman. Disease Breeding Conditions in Camps Cheapness is the main consideration in buying food, and the same is true of hiring cooks in the B. C. lumber camps. Inferior cooks are cheaper, hence they are more common, and bad food is made still worse by bad cooking. The bunk houses are dirty, unsanitary and overcrowded. Ih one camp that the author had the misfortune to work in, at West Demars, on the Arrow Lakes, the men were packed In like sardines and slept in double deck bunks, and if the man in the upper bunk happened to move around in his sleep, he would wake up the man in the lower bunk. If the man in the top bunk was infested with lice it was not very long before his fellow worker in the lower bunk also became lousy., There was no place to wash or dry clothes. In the centre of the bunkhouse there was a large barrel shaped stove, and at night the crew would come in with wet feet, and twenty to thirty men would hang their socks around the stove. In the morning the air would be thick enough to cut with a knife. Except in some parts- of the north west, neither sheets nor pillows are furnished, so a man comes -directly j-)_jg^-s--JUus'>_--i4^^ man has^-o/iss on his body the chances are that h?will leave the infection on the blankets which are seldom or never washed. Men are constantly coming and going thus many different men use thc same' blankets during a season. This constitutes an ideal method of spreading disease. The bunks near th'e stove gets th.' man as hot as in a sweat bath, and then, going out in a temperature that is below zero, is quite sure to catch a cold. There being no spi- toons, the custom is to spit on the floor, which at bed time is often cohered with tobacco juice and slime. This dries and when the floor is swept rises and settles all over the blankets. A more efficient way of spreading disease could scarcely be imagined. Piles of garbage around the copk, house door furnish an ideal breeding place for flies and other carriers of disease. Until a few years ago, bath houses in camps were unheard, of, and the majority are still without them. A man living in these surroundings is reduced to the level of a work animal, and a poor one at that, for it would not pay to keep valuable stock in such a condition. Today, there are many thousands of the most useful and necessary workers living in this state of barbarism in the midst of civilization. These are some of the things that the On-- tario Lumber Workers are on strike against right now.—-A.F. Written on Behalf of the Lumber Workers* Industrial -Union, 27 .

Operators to Meet With Ontario Strikers The 2000 striikng lumber workers in Ontario have stood so solid for their demands that the operators are beginning to step down from their high perch. Six of these operators at Fort William have asked, for a meeting with the strike committee. Another operator with six camps near Nip- igon, is offering the' wages demanded but not the eight hoiirs. The men^' will not return unless the eight hour day is granted. Not s single striker has gone back to work during the three weeks of the strike. The strike committee threatened bootleggers who were attempting to sell li-juor to the; strikers, with dire results if they were- caught. The bootleggers have taken heed. What the government officials have beeTn unable to- do the strikers' committee have succeeded in doing with beneficial results, . „ Clothes may .come, and clothes may go, but Charlie O'Donnell says posing in them goes on forever.

Nearly- a score of these workers are arrested on bombing charges. Thomas McMahon, president of the Unite- Textile Workers, calls attention to this ancient trick of hostile employers and their police agents. "The police" of Passaic, Garfield and Clifton arc again attempting to break, the textile strike by arresting members of the union and -frilling them in an attempt to implicate them in the latest bombing," said Henry Hunt, counsel for the strikers. "Twenty-one men and a boy have been arrested and some of them held incommuhicacTb Tor several days. "From the beginning of the strike last January, the police have pursued a continuous policy of law-breaking clubbing, unlawful arrests and unreasonable .bail., All this hasr failed to provoke the strikers to counter with like violence. Now, when the strike is about to be won, these odd bombings come into the picture, i "From an examination of the available evidence of these bomb cases, it appears highly probable that they are the result of a 'plant' by detective agencies attempting to break the strike by charging violence against the strikers. It will be noticed that the • bombings have been going on since May and no one has been injured and no property damage has been done. I am informed that some of the men implicated are employed in the mills." S. BO WELL & SON FUNERAL DIRECTORS AND EMBALMERS •• 6th St., New Westminster Phon. 993 T. J. Kearney & Co.

"Here- are* some very pretty ones. What color do you prefer?" she asked. "It doesn't make any difference," replied Mr. Barton. ' - "Doesn't make any difference!" exclaimed the salesgirl. "Why don't you think your wife would like a certain color?" • "No, it makes no difference what color I get or what size. I shall have to come back tomorrow to have it changed." To Further Organize British Working Women L i.ih_iii i sjsss __——sl———SSpp—-__"sw___ For. the women in British industry no special national machinery—such as we find on the political side—hag hitherto existed. But a new step has now been taken which might give women trade unionists such machinery in the future. The First Annual Women's Trade Union Conference was held at the beginning of the Trade Union Congress in Bournemouth on the 7th September, 1926. The conference was initiated by the general council of the Trades Union Congress which also drafted the resolutions for discussion. One resolution adopted proposes to form women's trade union guilds for women, relatives of trade unionists, so as to keep women in touch with the trade union movement and to stimulate trade union interest among women workers. The women catered for by these guilds would be mostly the wives of working men, and for them there already exist dhe well-organized "Women's Sections" of the Labor Party, so that there is likely to be some duplication of machinery here. The women represented at the conference were either actual women workers in their trade union or union officials, so that the prospective members of these guilds were not. directly represented. These conferences will offer a platform to women trade unionists to express their own views on work in the industrial movement and the part wo. men have to play in it. There are now about 300,000 women in the trade unions, but the vast majority of Women workers are outside. These conferences, should they tackle the problems of actual concern to women in industry, will do mucli to increase that number.

This may delude a good many people into thinking that the present Imperial-' istic Government is in favor of state ownership. On second thotght, however, they will learn that such is not the case. If it was so disposed at any time, it has had an abundance of opportunities to experiment on that principle, but has turned a deaf car to the question. One of these opportunities was gfverf it when the miners of that country urged it to take over the controi of the mines. Why,' then, this gesture of state ownership in the radio business? It is plain to be seen that it realizes the power of the radio as an agency for propaganda, and to make sure that it cannot He used for other than the boosting of Imperialistic policies, it is endeavoring to place its broadcasting properties more and more under state control. - There is also a danger that it may be used by the workers and democratic 1-odies generally to further the cause of peace and int-vnittionalism. And this must be checked if the world is to be more and more brought under the sway of British Imperialism. On a condition of industrial or po litical emergency, it will be used to flood the world with just such falsehoods as were turned loose by the press regarding the general strike. As time goes oii, it is becoming more and more apparent that German Imperialism, the alleged cause of the J-t-.-pj^S-r^-^-'^a^ Gi*eat Britain, ki spite of the claims of political and judicial blatherskites about the freedom of British institutions. ** *' * ** Mussolini says that Italy has the best democracy in the world. According to him, the form of tyranny he labels democracy, is different from thai possessed by other nations, in that under "its" or "his" benevolent rule, the people are "not prone to fear." This is rather amusing in view of the recent decree of his Parliament that those who even attempt to assassinate Mussolini will receive the death penalty. If that was not intended to engender fear, we would like to know what its object really xvas. ■ -A. However, Austin, Chamberlain, the British foreign minister has been rubbing shoulders with Mussolini and will no doubt convey the fraternal greetings from him to the British Facisti movement, the left bower of the Conservative party. The Fascist movement in I^aly came into being for the purpose of crushing the labor movement of that country. What the Conservative government has done to the miners of- Britain, is a difference in method only.

VANCOUVER ^SKy VICTORIA A FOOL'S REPLY "Brevity is the soul of wit," observed the sage. _>. , "Maybe," replied the fool, "but I never feel very witty when ' I am short." ■ The headlines on the finaqcial pa*ge of the local press last week, provided us with interesting reading. One read as follows:—"Harvesting set back many days; heavy snowstorms sweep throughout the prairie country; Farmers suffer heavy losses due to lowered grades." Another one in the same issue of the paper reads:— "Wheat goes to higher levels. Continued storms on prairie creates keen speculative interest." We also learned that _t about the same time that the wheat gamblers were harvesting the golden coin at the grain exchange, many of the men who left this province on the so-called harvesting excursions, were stranded in a desolate condition in the prairie cities, Many of them are already back- in Vancouver, without anythihg prepared for the coming of winter and if the above referred to Headlines, mean anything, the farmers will be in a very little better position. If there is any gold attached to the harvest on the prairie most of it, so far as we can-observe, will be reaped by the gentry looking around the grain exchange at Winnipeg. ****** The Hon. Robert Forke, the new Minister of Immigration, has started on his advocacy of what President Beatty of the C.P.R. calls "a more aggressive immigration policy." By that is meant, the policy of flooding Canada with the surplus labor of Europe, is to continue. 'This surpluses to come under the guise of ''settlers." If a policy of land settlement is needed, there is an abundance of labor already here available for settlement. Moreover, If the Hon. Robert Forke, was to take a trip back to Scotland, he would discover that there is still enough idle deer parks there to absorb the idle labor of that country. COMPANY UNION OBJECTS Shop employees on the Boston & Maine railroad have appealed to the Mediation Board, charging the management with unjustly discharging employees acting as representatives of their fellows and that thc company failed to set up adjustment boards required by the Railway Labour Act. ' Behind this appeal is a highly interesting story of the rebellion, of a company union when the futility of that type of organization had been thoroughly demonstrated to the workers. » "That's an engine boiler,'" the foreman told thc young lady visiting the locomotive works. "And why do they boil engines?" she asked innocently. , "To make the engine tender," said the foreman. A Good Suggestion! —for thc Kiddies', or Dad's Lunch.

In this discussion on tactics, -night I suggest that we assume the writers on both sides of the argument are: 1. Anxious to promote the welfare of the Labor movement in Canada. 2.- Each endowed with a certain amount of intelligence. 3. None of us endowed with all of the intelligence there is. 4. Each of us as honest as the other. Starting with these assumptions, then, let us get down to principles, instead of personalities. , To my mind, the mistake most of us have made in the past Is that of confusing the immediate with -the ultimate. The .ultimate is the goal we all wisji to reach, and the immediate is the consideration and adoption of the best process of reaching it. *°Not being unmindful of the fact that I, along with other members of the Socialist Party at that time, opposed a suggestion of Hawthorne- thwaite's that we build up a political machine to elect our candidates to office, and that now I am in .favour of doing that very thing, after about twanty years of studying the mental and economic processes and developments of the human race, in the meantime. I am rather inclined to be lenient with those who are on either side of the controversy,, whether I agree with tbdir point; of view or not, but the fa-ts we must ever lce-p in front of us are: 2J • 1. .I'KT-- are>.u.ari-s oi! unemployed workers in Canada „today. . 2. These workers are of both sexes and every nationality. 3. The government just re-elected has pledged itself to bring *20u,6o6 workers to Canada this year. 4. Most of the newcomers speak other languages than ours. 5. The workers speaking our S-Str.fi/'.^^G. F?_faV*_ 1 toiguage are being fired to make th at Cotfllon Hall Oranvllle and „,„,, f,.r tn„ neweombrs d_-« wa> 101 uie 11. W.UIII.I.. (". The newcomers arc lowering the standard of living for t*fe whole of Canada- These are facts, not theories, and what many of our English-speaking workers want to know is: "What does the C.L.P. propose to do about it?" In conclusion, I suggest that the C.L.P. be made into a real live political machine, inviting individual members td join it, and let a good strong campaign for new*"' members be started at once. Let it come forward with a constructive Canadian policy, (like Australia, for instance,) and let its fight against the enemies of Labor be an aggressive oiie. • Hoping wage-earners of both sexes in Greater Vancouver will take this subject up in discussion, both in these columns and on the job, I remain, "A Subscriber to the Campaign Fund." J. N. BOULT Editor, Labor Statesman. The Wednesday half-holiday still hangs in the balance as one of the cherished aims of the retail clerks. They have, 'it is. true, a law on the Provincial statute books giving them this condition. But so far as actual effects arc concerned, the statute is a worthless'scrap of paper to the many workers it was intended to benefit. The law is at present' evaded by at least one of the large department stores of Ihe city, namely the Hudson Bay Co. This concern to make it appear that it conforms to the act, lets .their empiajtws^-ff on-Wetto-ad-j^i-P ternoon from 1 to 6 o'clock, but com-, pels them to rctOrir'fo,,WQrk after-six o'clock. This work is enforced on them without extra remuneration. We can -jnderstand in a way the indifference of the government and its lawenforcement departments to this condition, but what we are more concerned about is that this concern received patronage from workers belonging to labor organizations. We hear no protest from the local Trades & Labor Council or its affiliated organizations against this condition and it is about time we did. There are also other conditions in this store that the unions are either ignorant of or are indifferent to. Is. it known to the average trade unionist that the Hudson Bay Co. whenever so-called bargain sales are imposed on the public, compels its employees to work for three successive nights following the sale arid without pay. If this condition, bordering as.it does on feudalism, is known to them, and they continue to reward the concern with their patronage, then the logical course to pursue' in all decency is to, throw their union cards into the nearest garbage can. It is all very well to prolest-against unfair conditions in the smaller stores by placing,them on the "don't patronize" list, but more courage would be revealed to say nothing of union principles if the same protest was voiced against the larger business institutions who are more flagrantly ignoring union and every other law in the exploitation of their employees. It is usually considered that workers should be paid for the work they perform, yet here is a concern that compels its employees under the threat of losing their jobs to work overtime for no remuneration Whatsoever and in violation of the intent and purpose of■thehOMi^^Jsa!, !___! I l-l-ll-fi. Asid-tfiiai conttmiea without protest from the local trade union movement. The possession of a union card indicates the adherence to union principles orit means nothnig. And if the local trade union movement has nothing to say in protest to the conditions herein described, the sooner it becomes extinct the better. —J.I.M. (Note:—Our correspondent evidently overlooks the fact that the Wednesday Half-Holiday Act can only be enforced through the action of the employees or the Department of Labor, and the Vancouver Police Department. Our correspondent only assumes that union men purchase from this store, hut he overlooks the fact that the employees, either as organized or even unorganized workers have not brought this matter to the ^attention of the Trades Council. Ho#> can the Trades Council be expected to act on something that it has no information about? The employees of this particular store could all be members of the Vancouver Retail Employees Association and have that organization take up their grievances. If these employees cannot organize for their own mutual benefit, we fail to see why some other organization should do the work for them. The Eetail Employees Association 'is not in any way connected with thc Vancouver Trades and Labor Council, if , ("iUwere their grievances would come before that body fo*r adjustment. We therefore fail to see where any complaint can be made against the recognized labor movement of this city. The onus is entirely on the employees or the Retail Clerks' Association.) "" —Editor.

Q,* Oct. 15th, 1926* THE THIRD CLASS RAILWAY PASSENGER Early in March last, a mutilated wage worker crawled from beneath a C.P.R. freight wreck-and stated in addition to himself there were a' number of other travellers on this train. The waters of the fjhuswap ' Lake rarely give up their dead, and did not in this case. A few weeks ago, a number of unauthorized passengers, variously estimated up to ten, were cremated in a Kettle Val-. ley Railway wreck. Ten da>s ago the Kettle Valley claimed another victim. *---,'. There is a traveller, peculiar to the American continent, that deliberately sets out .to see the country from the broad door of a box car, hot .11 _---.-_■ - senger is carried at a loss. As an average instance of this, the Van- couver-Nelson train -will usually con sist of four coaches, a baggage car, one second class car, a sleeper, a_*K a combined dining and observation car. The second class coach contains seating capacity for sixty-four persons, the first class contains seating for forty-eight. The ratp to Nelson in the second class is $20.80, and in the first class $26.70. On this showing,, with the capacity load in each' car, the second class car will, for the trip, earn $1,331.20, and the fir.-t class car $1,281.60. But this is only part of the- story. The first clas" coach is a heavier "and more costly- construction than the second; a porter is continuously employed in tht first class car, but not in the secord The first cost of bedding and the daily change of bed linen must bo charged to the first class; there is no corresponding cost chargeable to the second. The first class passenger carries, more baggage than the" second, and as to the mixed observation and dining car, the observation end is maintained exclusively for the benefit of the first class passengers THE LABOR STATESMAN I Correspondence bor Party does also believe in reforms and it has also built up a machine and organization that the old parties cannot displace.

The articles covering my, complaint are too varied and long for me to deal with fully, as I undoubtedly' would be taking up too much space in your paper, hence, in order that this article should hot be cut off, I am going to be a' brief as possible. I desire, however, to remain only known, if I must be, confidentially, to the editor at the present time, although some of the other contributors appear to want my scalp. This would only put the discussion to a sudden end and my small efforts would be in vain. Dr. Curry's article is the one I intend to tackle first, but I desire to make it known that I have no inclination, nor possibly ability to be a labor candidate. But I am of the — _« * -in ol me and while there is no written rule j opinion that the Labor Party (and prohibiting the second class passen- *"** " gers using the diner, the rate charged for food serves that purpose just as effectively as any written rule could.

The Shuswap Lake victims were Canadian workers fighting their way back to the Prairies before our Government and the railway companies had pushed an immigrant into every .opening. The only two victims of Ule Ketttle Valley that we know anything of came from working class homes in Vancouver, and the last Kettle Vallev victim was a university trained nian who had decided that a couple of years' roughing and toughing it as\""LnKi a wage worker in the casual labor | mean- of field, was necessary to complete his education. While in two of these cases a mishap on the railway brings to light the fact that these unauthorized travellers weii- on board, this is no unusual circumstance. While the year round there is considerable | •- "beating" the railways, during the spring and fall the movement reaches very large proportions. To the question, why, with daily trains run- "* njng in every direction, does the wage workers adopt this mea.ns.of travel? The answer is "Canada is t -a country of magnificent distances," and if the casual worker following seasonal employment paid the lowest transportation rates available, the man would be working for his board and the railways, and consequently a man following his type of labor is compelled, notwithstanding its attendant dangers, to adopt the irregular means of travelling. In this connection we might point out that then is room for a revision of railway rates I in Canada. There is no reason what-| . _ „,,t,.„, _ safe assumption that these people's contributions will do little or nothing more than take care of the staff ot four that are employed in the service. We must, therefore, charge two coaches and considerable additional service to forty-eight first class passengers, and for which they pay the sum of $1,281.60, and one ,coach to the second class passengers for which they pay the sum of $1,331.20. The answer to our question why the wage worker does not use the regular transportation is: "The ... -.^*,«jp \_S1_ I am a member of it)'should endeavour to make its candidates and its policies more popular. By this I mean that instead _f_dealing so largely with political economy, materialistic history and political revolutions, during election time, these things should he dealt with between elections. *We take it that during election time everybody is interested in political issues and if the Labor candidates only deal briefly with these .political issues,1.then we consider the time very that they were all reforms. They dealt with the treatment hitherto handed out by the two old parties and the political issues as they affected the farmer. They did not make any anti:parliamentary speeches, they did not attack, other farmer-industrial organizations. They did not even talk about the "greatest event in human history," but they did arouse the farmers to such a pitch of enthusiasm that eleven of their twelve can-j diates were elected.

How do I know you? Oh, I saw your photo in The Weekly (Winnipeg) News during the election. You see I get most of the Labor Papers because so many of my clientele are labour men. Just taking a rest after a most strenuous campaign, eh? Well, you have come to the right place, for next to Victoria, Vancouver is a first class necropolis, as far as labor agitation is concerned. Do you know Mr. Heaps, I bejieve we are on the verge of—no, not a wave of great prosperity—but a great forward movement in the labor sense. We have just nlade the epoch-making discovery here, that there is something wrong somewhere. We have come to the conclusion that .'there must be some reason why the labor vote in B. C. has stood stock-still while the labor vote in Winnipeg has bounded forward. Now, I want you to tell me what you think is the reason for that phenomenon. Economically the worker in Vancouver is, perhaps, a little better off than the worker in the 'Peg. But then again, the worker in Quebec is a whole lot worse off than the worker in Winnipeg, and like Vancouver, their labor movement is practicaally non plus. You are not sufficiently versed in B. C.'s labor movement to advance^ an opinion? Well, you can at least tell me .tjie reason for the success of the move- ine^tjin_¥Wtatp-«i;.*"l"^t_ ink Labor represenjat^ssbc^^ 'JKI*OT' more carer I agree with you there. I see. You think they should go from thc labor movement to the School Boards or to municipal and city councils^ to become apprenticed to the political trade, so to speak. Exactly. But our experience of late has been that when we do get men in, that is the last we hear of them. Our fault. How do you figure? Oh I see. Instead of putting them in and depending on them to do the rest, we should.put them in and then set them to work on some well-defined line of attack, and see to it that they (jet right into the collar. Yes, just like you did in Winnipeg in connection witli the municipally-owned hydroelectric. That reminds me, we had a citizens' committee in Vancouver last year boosting for a municipally- owned hydro-electric plant. They quoted the Winnipeg price as 3c per kilowatt hour for juice as against 5c in Vancouver. That committee simply faded. I don't know how much it cost to silence them, but they are non existent now. Well now, that is a good idea. Select thc men, give them a chance and if they don't make good, Can Them. Here's your old friend Pritchard, a man who went to jail for the workers, surely the Labor movement is big enough to sec to it that men of his calibre can find a place within the movement In Russia, they would have a picture of you and him behind the jail bars, hung in the art galleries just to show what the capitalist class will do to a man when he becomes dangerous to capitalistic institutions. Sometimes I sit down here, Mr. Heaps, and try to look through thc mists. I wonder just how long it will be before we in Vancouver select some activity that we can throw every . ounce of our" collective effort into. For instance, if we were determined that the Gity Council shall meet at nigl)t« or that every citizen having a Federal vote must be given a civic vote, and then proceeded to talk and boost that idea to every voter, I feel confident we could put it wj-^^____r_-*_-_Bii_i-*7-3*^ zens the labor viewpoint.

In them are embodied all. that is best in the systems of religion, ethics or morals that this world has produced. ' Labour men themselves are only faintly conscious of how tremendously important to human progress are their principles, constructed from an evolutionary study of human progress itself. The spirit of Capital, on the other hand, is not an evolutionist She imagines she can administer the affairs of the world lor all eternity. Her educational institutions are, to a great extent, based on that sentiment? hence we needn't be surprised that, except in the case of common schools, they are out of the reach__of thc ordinary individual. Of course, that is a good thing for capitalism for obvious reasons. ' How different, are the ideals of Labour She wants the highest type of education to be within reach of all her children. > "Pooh " says Capital. "Somebody must do the common labour." But why should not every manual labourer of either sex have the best education obtainable? And why should such not rank with the hiost highly cultured people on earth? "How dignified, might the commonest non-exploited labour become if highly paid and accomplished mechanically in the minimum time under the most fq*r_urable conditions by men developed culturally to capacity! To fight everlastingly for these conditions is the grand obligation that Labour.^e^^^c^e^^-^jM/iJ^JIAi, TKTs. her task, is gigantic, since Capitalism, through her unscrupulous political machinery, supported by the wealth of the world, can afford to ignore any motive, except that of profit. Her genera! character is reflected in the,accusations which her political parties hurl against one another—accusations that are as disgusting as they are often true. She is unwittingly, then, the greatest pro- .tagonist of moral turpitude that this generation has produced. Only a labour party,can clean out her Augean stables by turning into them the stream of human interests. Until that is done, the young cannot be taught the real interests of the human race. The church, the press, the schools and the universities^nust, to a certain extent, be moulded by ideals contaminated by the sordid influence of dollars and cenfsT And, in cleaning out these stables, the Labour Party is doing a sacred Work. Hence it ought to be a sacred obligation on its members to establish institutions in our towns and eitie that would work for its ideals every Sunday in the year, so that it might .eventually remedy the defects of capitalism and the turpitude incidental thereto. They would virtually be churches without the churchianity. In them could be ta_gh thc doctrines of evolution and their application to progress. A little psychology added, as in Dr. Hudson's books, would make the study doubly interesting. . In conculsion, one might say that the ideals of Labour are to those of Capitalism as the effulgent rays of the noonday sun are to the flickering light of a wax taper, ,_pp>__pe_i(-p-^s4--^>_T-ft---^ eral; those of Labour cast their shadows into the endless depths of a mysterious eternity.". i Seymour 3168 Always Opess ' Empire Cafe and Grill • Vancouver's Best Under Personal Management of * HAROLD DEGG BOB KRAUSE Late 54th Batt. i Late 72nd Batt. < 76 Hastings St. E.

Labor Gov'ts Proposed Reforms The New South Wales Parliament was opened recently by Commission, the Government being desirous of' proceeding to business immediately, and obviating a lengthy Address-in- Reply debate. Mr. Lang, the Labouij Premier, said that the programme for the session included measures making it compulsory for municipal and shire councils to give preference to Australian and British made goods, enabling the Government Savings Bank Commissioners to lend up to HO per cent. of the cost to persons desirous of building homes; amending the Crown Lands Act so as to facilitate settlement; completely altering the system of dealing with public hospitals, and providing means of financing them. Other bills provide for the grading of wheat delivered by Government elevators, the establishing of a Board of Control for transport matters, the, amending of the Railways Act with the object of placing railways and tramways on a bettter business basis, the amending of the Workmen's Compensation Act in order to reduce the cost-of insurance to men on the land, the extension of the adult franchise to all loeal government elections, the creation of a Greater Sydney, and the giving effect to the recommendations of the Royal Commission on the Safety of Coal Mines. liter Peiil and Company in "His Magle^ *. h.*sisj^**Jejr*i4 **friQrphABra'___-_„)_ _- CURED!

The total amount thus saved to the insurance public exceeds £4,000,000 to date. In addition, the State Fire Office in 1923, established a bonus rebate system which has meant a further saving of £600,000 to thc insuring public to December 31st, 1925. "The Office is a national institution, guaranteed and owned by the people and conducted solely in their interests. It is conducted on strictly commercial lines and compares favorably with private enterprises in business methods, promptitude, ratio of working expenses and financial results. Its profits remain the property of the people and the funds of the Office are invested solely in the Dominion. "In January, 1925, the State F'ire Office took over the Accident Branch of the Government Insurance Department, and the Office is now empowered to transact all classes of fire and accident business, including Employer's Liability, Personal Accident and Motor-Car Comprehensive. .Egg Orders Arc Our Specialty "IT'S THE* C01--FKE".

On the wholet I am glad that critic-ism has been offered; it indicates real interest on the part of the critic, and opens the way for explanations and extensions which should be helpful to future political efforts and gives us an opportunity to analyse and appreciate the viewpoint of the average audience and to' compare it with the viewpoint of the average Labor candidate.

Heaps and Woodsworth, I believe that the principal reason why Winnipeg has Labor representatives is to be found in thc Winnipeg strike of 1919, and that the autocratic activities of the Coalition Government then in power, when by force of arms they broke the strike, did more toward opening the eyes of workers to the advisability of having Labor represented in the_ House than aeons of political oratory could have done, p The principal function of the Labor Party today, is educational; its business is to explain the past, point out the real factors of the present, and visualize a future which will be-free from at least the worst faults of thc "The Mail Order Druggists" We Kak. a Special Effort to Got Good.

The pathos of the spectacle was heart breaking, when the lumber barons with tears [/streaming down their well fed'cheeks .soured our great premier, 'Honest kJohn' that a minimum wage of forty cents an/hVur would ruin the lumber undustry\x)ne of the delegates drew 'i heart-moving picture of the old people's homes and Salvation Army Shelv I. ers filled with broken lumber magnates while their forty cents ah hour employees lead a life of riotous indulgence. Honest John in a voice [broken with emotion told the delegation what Shylock once learned "It is the law." Henry Ford has just announced that five days a week and Isix dollars a day for his workers still ■pay big dividends. So that's that. ■ J. A. B. "sweet nothings." Now the question is well asked, "Why do not Labor candidates adopt the methods of the old party politicians and give their audiences what they obviously come to hear?" Briefly, the answer to this question is "Because Labor candidates do not desire to go to Ottawa under false pretenses." All or any of our recent Labor candidates doubtless could, by adopting political methods, secure the votes of thousands who at present vote the old parties. If the sole objective of thc Labor Party were merely to .end puppets to Ottawa, who would 'dance when the monied masters pulled the string they could readily become very good and docile hand _Te(j|. politicians, just as serviceable to the invisible master fThe Barbers' Union reported as being unfavorable to the quarterly button at the Trades Council meeting, _>cl.

I - not the objective. Making a Parlia ment is, no doubt, an important matter, but to make a people is a million times more important, and to make a people is the real objective of the Labor Party. I see an audience, composed of men and women who, six days a week and fifty-two weeks a year, hasten to store and factory, foundry or mine, urged on"" by whistle and bell, constantly goaded by the knowledge that hungry envious eyes are watching,*'ever watching, and that thousands of empty, willing hands are eagerly awaiting a chance to take their place in that hurrying throng, to take tbeir number and to punch their clock. I hear that audience cheer vociferously when a political orator refers with patho*! to " our glorious heritage, this wonderful Canada of ours," and I know that when they sold their time to the department store or the factory, they also sold their individuality; they succumbed to the prevailing system which demands of the worker that he or she shall not only sell the days of their lives at so much or so little per hour, but they shall resign their right to question certain popular fallacies of our modern social system. I am well aware that the great mass of voters are either job holders or job hunters, and their only thought at election time is to vote for the job they have or the job they hope to get. They are entirely, unaware of the. fact that economic problems can not be solved politically, and they take no thought of those irresistible evolutionary. processes which are slowly but surely changing'the economy in which we live; gradually and persistently altering the relationship of man to man, and of man to the natural resources of this old planet. Many of our Labour enthusiasts point with pride to Winnipeg, with its two Labor members in the^House, | and ask "Why can't Vancouver do they come searching, for a political saviour who will lead them out of the present economic desert and promise them a return of the milk and honey of boom days, When Arrow collars sold for two for a quarter and one could double his money in real estate'deal be'fore the ink on the agreement of sale had time to dry. They are naturally disappointed when they are confronted with a few facts relative to our modern capitalism, which for an existence and continuance demands that the hungry many shall labor and sweat for the over-fed few. So long as the great mass of voters are only interested in their own immediate condition, nothing will greatly alter their political biggottedness or indifference, exeegt A Bank with 900 Branches RIO DE JANEIRO -3W in Canada including Vancouver Victoria Calgary -B. dm ou ton Rcgfna Wimiipe-fc -fort Wiim-m Wiiidsor, Out.

What, then," you ask, is the use of attempting to achieve policitical representation or to enter the political arena at all at election.time? Those who are in closest touch with the Labor movement find that in spite of apparent setbacks and the discouraging incident of losing the two hundred dollar deposit necessary in Federal elections, the number of the class conscious is steadily increasing. Millions of little incidents in the life of the wage earner,are making him conscious of,his right to live a happy and useful life without the constant fear of losing his job, the right to be a useful, productive member of human society, whether dollars accrue interest or not, and, above all, a right to go down the sunset trail of his declining years without the spectre of poverty pointing with withered finger to the Old Man's Home. Those who watch the movement most closely and who are devoting much time* and effort to elections, feel that they are planting seed which is ready to sprout into life whenever the economic pressure on the voter becomes severe enough ^to . make him think about those questions which he hears discussed on the Labor candidate's platform; those subjects which, at present, he does not wish to listen to, and that takes me right back to the title of this story/Whether ,you consider a campaign speech good or bad depends wholly upon what you came out to hear. , Vancouver Branch pp.'p.**^«i.p^p^^^i2_p.^_«W!'_5-_w_»a..i. 16 Offices in Vancouver. 51 Branches in British Columbia ■_--_---Mi-e_i^iJps?»|--nggp-;i —_■_-■ Newfoundland Union With 20,000 Members The fishermen of Newfoundland are demonstrating the beneficial effects of organization, according to a survey by the Department of Commerce just published. Their standards of living, says the report, have been improving steadily for the past ten years. This is due to the work of the Fishermen's Protective Union, co-operative organization with 20,000 members. It does a business of about $3,000,000 per year. One-fifth of the population of Newfoundland is directly dependent on the fisheries for |a livelihood, and of the exports of the island,'' $13,000,000 or more than half the total, are fish. Living and working conditions among the fishermen a decade ago were deplorable. The union has made a steady improvement, and is still going ahead. IMPROVE YOUR AIM .

The organization, of Cement Finishers is practically complete, some twenty being admitted into Local No, 8. Plasterers at their last regular meeting, and the balance have in their applications. Local 602 Plasterers Helpers will take upithe questions of admitting all building laborers to their Local at their regular meeting Thursday. Should they decide to extend their Charter to take in these men, their membership will be increased about 200. Bricklayers Local No. 1 are behind them in this move, as they much prefer that' their assistants should be union men. Further, the policy of their organization is to support the closed shop wherever possible^ The Buildjng__Trades Council delegates have instructed Secretary Page to use every effort^to organize this class of worker, and with a littl? assistance from union men on the job, success is assured. Ornamental Iron Worker.. The organization of Ornamental Iron Workers is going ahead fast. Local No. 97 Ironworkers have agreed to set a special,scale of $7.50 per day until December 31, 1926, for erectors, the Building Trades Council to enforce the full rate of $9.00 after that date. Only njiembers of Local v_. 97 to be employed on jobs in jur o liction of the Building Trades Council. A meeting of all ornamental iron mi ji was called on Wednesday night, October 13, and about fifty turned up. The meeting was addressed by the president. and sec retar*/, of the eouncil, and officers of Local No.-97. The meeting went - ff««-i'**w-r-f-'-w% izing that craft, and in favor of the shopmen asking for a special charter. Secretary Bro. Page was instructed to make application b. Ironworkers International for a charter, and to arrange for a further meeting on Wednesday, October 20, he to advertise the meeting. Elevator Constructor!. Application has been made to the Elevator Constructors Internationa! for assistance in organizing this class of worker, and the council will put the full weight of their organization behind a drive to line up these men. Our jobs are still 100'/f in the downtown district for all locals, and the prospects for improved conditions for 1927 look bright. The council has adopted a policy of endeavoring to have owners and architects place a clause in all contracts whereby only union men can be employed on the jobs. ' The new Orpheum Theatre will be a strictly union job for all 'trades, as they have agreed to this clause, the Orpheum representatives stating that this was their policy always and that they got better results when their newbuildings were erected under that clause. The council will adopt the working button for all building trade workers for 1927. This was decided at the last regular meeting held Tuesday, October 12.
