note: Of ^OWNED AND a_NT_.-_.JFn r_ BY TOE VANCOUVER TRADES AND LABOR COUNCIL Supported by Sixty-two Local Unions 14 VANCOUVER, CANADA, CHRISTMAS, 1934 PRICE:5 CENTS December 1934 ®lji> fetBOtt'fi ifaaagi? FROM THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE VANCOUVER, NEW WESTMINSTER AND DISTRICT TRADES AND LABOR COUNCIL SHE molt pleating feature associated with the Chriitmat season is the exchange, between friends, of kindly greetings of goodwill and cheer. Throughout the length and breadth of Christendom, this happy custom prevails, and, in common with others, it is our sincere desire to take this opportunity of extending to all our friends and associates the season's most cordial greetings and good wishes. It is timely on this festive occasion to remember that the same lowly Naiarene, who inspired that greatest of all commands, "Peace on earth, goodwill toward men," was also responsible for the equally inspiring injunction that reads: "Be ye not weary in well-doing." The thought of these words comes upper- most in our minds in inditing this message. The Labor movement is a humanitarian movement. It seeks to protect the weak and to help the needy. It is a movement of men and women banded together, not for personal and individual gain, but rather for the attainment of justice for all mankind. May our message, therefore, inspire you with greater faith, hope and courage, conscious in the righteousness of our mutual endeavors and convinced of the ultimate achievement, and may your efforts during the coming year be filled with the desire for greater accomplishment in the task of uplifting humanity.
