LABOR'S POWER The guiding principle of the organized labor movement in Canada ia that the economic advancement of the workers csn be most effectively achieved through exercise of their joint economic power to secure higher wages, shorter hours of work, improved working conditions and a better standard of life. Since the inception of our great labor movement in this and other countries, organised labor has built up improved standards of life for the wage earners gradually, persistently, step by step. In this, organized labor has relied upon its own economic strength, more than on labor legislation, to secure freedom from economic enslavement. And this must remain the basic method of labor's self-advancement. We are negotiating more union agreements today than ever before in our history, and generally we are doing it by "Round Table" methoda, and we And that these agreements have been obtained by this method with ever-increaaing harmony and effectiveness. Employers are more and more finding the value of doing business with organized labor, and except in an odd instance or two, agreements are renewed with little difficulty. Once those agreements are signed however, organized labor starts to use another weapon that is as powerful as any yet devised. That is its purchasing power. That power is so tremendous that it could—if conscientiously used by every organized man and woman—build up the organized labor movement in every trade and calling. Thia weapon, however, we are sorry to say ia not used to its full advantage. Union workers still purchase non-union products, still patronize non-union placet of business and still give life and sustenance to the non-union competitors of union firms. And there are many reasons for this. The Trades Union movement is always taking in new membera; It is always building up new unions and it is always making new agreements with new firms. The new member has to be educated to the advantages and the necessity of patronising union firms. He does not know that every other union outside of his own is not only helping his union and his employer, but that unless he reciprocates by helping all other unions, his wages and working conditions may eventually suffer. Sometimes when a new firm has signed an agreement with a union it expects immediate support from members of organized labor for the products manufactured by the firm, These firms however, must not be im. patient, because just as it took that firm a long time to employ members of organized labor, so it takes organized labor a long time to get acquainted with the new union firm. In the effort being put forth by the Union Label Trades Council at the present time to boost union firms, we would like to urge upon members of organized labor to take this question up with great earnestness and if they are not already doing so, to give every assistance to every other union in boosting union label goods, firms and working buttons. The power of your union grows with the power of all other unions and our economic power will be greatly increased by our purchasing power. Street Railwaymen's Membership at 1460 The Street Railwayman's Union, Division 101. was chsrtered by the Amalgamated Association of Street, Electric Railway and Motor Coach Employees of America in 1898. It'a membership, totaling 1460, work HPde£ •„cl£,ed "hoE egreement with the B. C.

BENGOUGH Vice-Pretident, Trade! and Ubor Congress of Canada; General Secretary-Treasurer, Vancouver Trades and Labor Council; Chairman of Convention Entertainment Committee. Lumber Baron Comes Here To Chisel Ubor Comment was made by Secretary Bengough at the meeting of the Trades Council of a statement made by an unnamed Czechoslovakia!! lumberman who declared through the press that high wages and high freight rates were detrimental to He charged the Czechoslovakian with trying to introduce "the miserable conditions pertaining in many parts of Europe into B. C." "We have had to deal with lumbermen for many years in B. C. and, if this man can teach the B. C. lumbermen anything about breaking down wages, he has to go some,' said the secretary. "We should tell the gentleman that in view of the situation in Europe, it is quite possible for us to welcome immigrants here, but they must be satisfied with our way of life and not try to bring about the rotten con' ditions they have left in Europe." The council instructed the secre tary to make a reply through the press to the interview. Over in the United States the Wage-Hour administration find that the lumber interests are the worst violators of the law and the admin istration has appointed more in' apectort to tingle out these offenders and bring them to trial. Because of this the lumber barons are yelling their head off, but the Administration is determined to stop the chiseling. Unions Supporting War Fund subscriptions Delegate W. J. Bartlett, the Tradet Council's representative on the War Savings Certificate Drive in Vancouver, informed the delegates that not only had local unions subscribed many thousanda of dollars to war Savings Certificates, but were now purchasing war bonds, some of them non-interest bearing. A large number of unions had purchased the $400 limit in war savings certificates, and many were making contributions of smaller amounts. Now that the Second War Loan Bonds are available unions are purchasing $1,000 worth and up, the Electrical Workers' Union having purchased $20,000 worth of them as well as $10,00 worth of non-interest bearing bonds. Theatres Open To Convention Delegates Through the courtesy of the follow theatres, delegates to the Tradea and Labor Congress Convention, have been extended a welcome to the following theatres on certain days during their stay in the city. The theatres will also display a card of welcome to the visitors: Capitol, Orpheum, Strand, Dominion, Plata, Paradise, Lyric and the Beacon. Patronise our advertisers.

OUaey) BIRT SHOWLER Executive Member of the Tradea and Labor Council, Secretary of the Convention Entertainment Commit- tee and General Secretary of the Teamsters' Joint Council. Teamsters' Joint Council Mutual Understanding .. All of the Teamsters' organisations definitely operate under a misnomer. With the ascendency of motor traffic and the elimination of horse-drawn vehicles a teamster now- adaya is a rara avis; so much so that a request some time ago to the Seattle local, which counts ita members in thousands, for men to drive horses had to be turned down. There waa none to be found. While this is not the case in Vancouver and we still have drivers and stablemen, fully eighty per cent of the members handle motorized equipment. The Teamsters' Joint Council obtained their charter from the A. F. of L. in October, 1919, and is composed of the executives of all the local Teamsters' organizations—Milk Salesmen, Bread Wagon Drivers, Truck Drivers, Taxi Drivers and Warehousemen. Monthly meetings are held to discuss the problems which come before these various unions affiliated, and all the many questions which affect the industry as a whole. Through these meetings and discussions mutual understanding and co-operation are built up and joint efforts are co-ordinated for the good and welfare of all the members. Recently a death benefit fund was established covering the whole membership for the sum of $1000 on death. The operation of this fund has already illustrated to many the advantages of belonging to a union. There ia one thing which the council would like to Impress on all the members and our many friends: "Insist on hsving all your goods delivered; it costs no more and helps a lot. Be certain that these deliveries are made by Union men". Milk Salesmen Now In Strong Position In February, 1940, the Milk Salesmen celebrated their coming-of-age with a notable function in the Hotel Vancouver. The guests and speakers included representatives from the Dominion and Provincial Governments, the Mayor of the City, the first employer to sign an agreement with the local and many of the employers of the present members, illustrating to everyone the strong position which the Union enjoys. From a very small beginning in 1919, through years of quiet, steady progress by negotiation and arbitration, respecting every promise, honoring every agreement, the organisation has continued to advance. At the present time the membership is greater and the number of agreements signed with local dairies larger than ever before. A great deal of thia progress is due to the splendid support accorded the members, not only by members of other local unions but by many friends entirely outside the labor movement and with the continuation of this support it is hoped that other gains may he made. The local enjoys two records of which it is justly proud. Financial Secretary Birt Snowier and Recording Secretary Jtmmie Carson, both charter members, have held continuous elective office since the organization of the local. President "Bob" McCulloch has efficiently filled the chair for several consecutive years and holds a similar position in the Teamsters' Joint Council. When an organiser waa appointed "Jlmmle" Hay waa given that difficult assignment and haa to be commended for much of the progress made alnce that time.

Bakery Salesmen Art •Strongly Organized During the last few years the Bakery Salesmen have made spectacular progress with their organization, and at the present time are very close to 100 per cent in Vancouver and district with members in New Westminster, Powell River, Victoria, Chilliwack and Nanaimo as well. There are a few of the small bakeries without union agreements, but their number is decreasing. Close co-operation is maintained with the firms with whom agreements are in force. This is one of the organizations which realize fully the benefit of collective bargaining, having experienced some years in which there was no union functioning and appreciating the changes which have been brought about since reorganisation. In line with all of the Teamsters' local unions, 189 enjoys complete closed shop and check-off privileges, with a minimum of trouble in the industry. The membership are alwaya in good standing and eligible for the many benefits which the organisation offers; sick and death benefits as well as other less common advantages. At the present time one of the problems facing the union is the decision of a meeting night. Owing to the large enlistment in the N. P. A. M. so many of the members attend drill that a suitable night is hard to arrange. Business Agent Ernie Holmes keeps in close contact with all the employers and helps maintain an entente cordiale. Bevin Confident of Britain'! Success Upon the reorganization of the British Government and the assignment of the portfolio of Minister of Labor to Ernest Bevin, outstanding British trade unionist, the Edmonton Trades and Labor Council cabled the new Minister wishing him and his colleagues success in their efforts to defeat the "nasties", adding, "Labor in this neck of the woods, 6000 miles away, pledgee its untiring efforts in the one great cause, defeat of the enemies of the Empire, May good luck be yours". Mr. Bevin expressed confidence of a British victory in the following CBble reecived in reply by Alf. Far- milo, general secretary of the Edmonton Council: "Thanks for your heartening telegram. We are certain we shall win". GLACE BAY MACHINISTS ORGANIZE Following a plebiscite taken among railway machinists in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, a new local of the International Association of Machinists haa been organized by George E.

Expectation of happiness, under a democracy, without taking an interest in government is dangerous. . . . Believing in Union Principles but doing nothing about it is (utile.... There is a close connection between the two; the standards of democracy are actually raised or lowered by your active or negative participation in and support of everything for which the Union Label stand*. Why not make Trade* Union Congress Week a time to reaffirm your sup. port of the Union Label on everything you buy? And perhaps you can make no easier start than by demanding to tee it on the pants, shirts and overall* that are so important to you in your daily occupation. And perhaps no brand of work garments has stood out as quality clothing like G.W.G. BRAND—the consistent product of a unionized factory for 27 years. Every time you ask for a G.W.G. brand garment you make good on your Union Pledge. You help fellow union workers and get extra good value as well. Do not forget that when you accept a non-union brand work garment you actively support the ideas that degenerate to lower wages, unfavorable working conditions and eventual reaction upon yourself. So, play safe! Stick to your pledge—demand G.W.G. brand on shirts, pants or overalls next time you buy. Almost any clothing store has them. // unable to procure, write or phone to SIME BROS. (G.W.G.

United Fishermen Get New Agreement Members of United Fishermen's Federal Union No. 44, of the Trades and Labor Congress of Canada will gain considerably as a result of negotiations recently terminated with the canning companies of British Columbia. The new agreement provides for increases in the prices to be paid for the various types of fish and also in wage rates to men employed on the boats carrying the fish from the grounds to the canneries. This is the first time that the operators have agreed to a minimum wage for that latter, and further negotiations are being conducted covering men who had already been receiving more than the minimum now agreed upon. The new pact covers the whole field of the fishing industry, including halibut, herring, salmon and pilchard and union recognition is accorded by the operators. The new prices and wage rates are to prevail throughtout the catching seasons of the respective varieties during 1940. TEACHERS' UNION ELECTS PROGRESSIVE TICKET Buffalo, N. Y.—By a vote of two to one, the slate headed by Professor George S. Counts of Teachers College, Columbia University, was swept into office at the convention of the American Federation of Teachers here. Professor Counts waa elected to succeed himself.

Machinists 692 Makes Fine Progress Vancouver Lodge No. 692 of the International Association of Machinists was chartered on June 9, 1919, and has been in continuous operation ever since. During the past two years it has had a steady growth and the prospects are good for an even greater growth. Members are employed in most of the large machine and contract shops in this district, as well as the shipyards and other industrial plants. Its officers take an active part in the trades union movement and are on good terms with most of the employers. The union has offices in Labor Headquarters, where Business Agent George Sangster can be contacted. The new office is Room 303, telephone SEy. 7495. Entire Membership Lodge No. 692 is one of the unions which subscribed to The Labor Statesman for its entire membership with the first issue in 1924 and has continued to keep its entire membership on its mailing list ever since. Union Taxi Driven Have Good Record Local 151, Taxi Stage & Bus Drivers' Union was organized in June 1926 and is the oldest taxi dirvers Union in the Dominion of Canada. We have signed mutual Agreements with the B. C. Motor Transportation Co. of this city continuously since that time. In more recent years we have organised the Star Cab Co. and this company has been working under signed Agreement with our organisation. According to statistics supplied by the leading Insurance Companies on the North American Continent, members of Local 151 enjoy an enviable position in the ranks of safe driver*. The taxi drivers' Union has enjoyed membership in the Teamsters' Joint Council No. 36 since ita inauguration and has taken an active part in all its deliberations and its progress. PLUMBERS' UNION HAS TWENTY AGREEMENTS Local No. 170, Journeymen Plumbers, Steamfltters, Sprinkler Fitters and Helpers, was chartered November 18, 1898 and has been operating ever since. The following shops have signed agreements with the union and organised labor Is asked to carefully note these firms so as to be sure that the plumber they send for wears a union button: Acme Plumbing and Heating Service, A. W. Barber Limited, Barr ft Anderson Limited, B. Boe Limited, F. N. Hamilton, Sydney Hall, Gordon Latham, Leek ft Company Limited, D. A. McDonald, O. 8. McMorran, David W. Boss Company, San-O-Heat Limited, Weeka ft Company Limited, Fred Welsh ft Son, Grinnell Company of Canada, Viking Automatic Sprinkler Co. The union also supplies asbestos workers. The union has also recently signed up a new agreement with the Burrard Shipyard; Co. and the North Vancouver Shipyards Ltd. It doesn't take a painstaking research to find what's wrong with our economic system—it's our failure to look for the Union Label. ■**•*■ ' INCCMPCMATtO **» MAV 1870. ™ WELCOME to Delegates to the flFTY-SIXTH ANNUAL CONVENTION of the TRADES AND LABOR CONGRESS OF CANADA and to Members of Organized Labor in Vancouver LI OH Overall outwear tM m ordinaryp Why?

Union Label, Shop Card And Working Button Since the inception of the Vancouver and District Label Trades Council the Teamsters' organisations have consistently affiliated themselves with this effort and actively conduct an educational campaign through their publications and tee press to both members and friends on the sbsolute necessity for insistence in patronising the various stores and business houses who handle union goods or employ onion members. Too great stress cannot be placed on this effort Irrespective of sex, religious or political beliefs, wealth or poverty, there is one thing which we all have in common: everyone of us, from the cradle to the grave, are consumers of goods or services. We all wear clothes of one kind or another; eat more or less; use transportation of some sort, be it only "shanks mare". In this at least we are dictators. Ours Is the right to say to whom this privilege will be accorded—to onr friends, or to the others outside the Isbor movement. No business can exist without patronage.

Carpenters Are Making Good Headway Over fifty years ago the carpentere of Vancouver were welded Into an organisation when the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America aet up the first local in Hay, 1800. Since that time the organised car- Knters, with many up* and downs, va assisted in keeping the banner of the organised labor movement flying in Vancouver. The germ of tradea unionism then planted, and for which the carpenters take a certain amount of credit, haa continued to grow and apread until today scores of trades ana crafts with thousands of members are proud to wear the Union Button. The year 1940 has seen a considerable strengthening of Carpenters' Local 462, and this can also be said of the sister Local 1251, New Westminster. The agreement with the General Contractors' Association, signed in November, 1938, guaranteeing wages, hours and conditions, Is still in operation, and with a greater volume of building work on government contraeta and project* carried on exclusively under government control, the membership is looking expectantly for an advance in wages in the near future. We look forward with confidence, in spite of war clouds. We feel that if organisation waa a necessity in the past it will be doubly so in the future. We are anxious to co-operate with other organisations of labor, realising that division can lead to nothing but disaster. W* feel that in the Building Tradea Council we have an organisation that sympathetically react* to our difficulties and will stand ready to help whan needed. We have maintained cordial relations with the employers, and have found that they are ready and willing to live up to their obligations. Generally, the members of Local 462, during the past year, have experienced better times in regard to employment and future prospects look good. Your union pays for your subscription.

GEORGE GERHARD Executive Member of the Trades and Labor Council and of the B. C. Projectionists' Union. ProJKtioniitV Union Control Fire Hazard Motion Picture Projectionists' Union, Local 348, is stiU making good progress on wages and working conditions. During the many years that this union haa been operating in the motion picture industry it has not only battled for better conditions in the trade, but it has always battled against the ever-present fire hazard, In which the general public would be involved. The Union has built up a record "no Are" that is unsurpassed on this continent, but these conditions are forever being attacked by the big inteersts in the motion picture industry. Under these conditions the union finds it necessary to fight every attempt to get the thin edge of the wedge into their agreements. This has been attempted in many ways, and la still being attempted. Union recently lost a court case in one of these attempts and the court order prohibits the Union from advertising the theatre as unfair. The Hollywood Theatre still employs non-union projectionists. The jurisdiction of the Union cover* the entire province of British Columbia.

SENATOR MEAD OPPOSES LABOR GAINS BLACKOUT Niagara Palls, N.Y.—United States Senator James M. Mead of New York told the annual convention of the State Council of Carpenters here that high labor standards must not be lowered in the national defense programme. . „ "One thing", he said, "we must Sromlse ourselves and make unmis- ikably crystal-clear to all who would use this crisis to break down the hard-won labor victories of the last seven years. That is, that there will be no blackout of labor gains, and no retreat from the advancea we have made through sever, yeara of legislative effort. Social, economic and labor legislation need not be sacrificed—must not be sacrificed—In the future".

Two new companlea were recently included in the roster of those employing union members through the activity of Reg. Atkinson. In so diversified an operation many problema will and do crop up among employees handling equipment ranging from motorcycles to the largest highway trucks or furniture vans; regulations and conditions are bound to differ, but with sane officers and an Intelligent membership solutions are found and harmony maintained. Jewelry Workers ♦Are Making Headway The Jewelry Workers Union, cover- ing various branches of the trade are making fairly good progress in a somewhat hard field. There is plenty of hard competition in the jewelry business, but the union has obtained agreements in manufacturing firms, which enables organised labor to pur. chase union made jewelry. The union finds that organising the watch repairers ia one of ita hardest problema, but sooner or later ways and meana are expected to be found to overcome this difficulty. The repairers admit the need for organisation, but they are afraid of the competition that might later affect their organisation. The Union has organised a number of Pressed Metal Shops snd these add to the membership, which the union hopes slowly but surely to in cresse. Labor Ignored At Pap Thirteen Delegate Woolridge of the Projectionists' Union Informed the Trades Council that he felt that the Tradea Union movement was being ignored in many events of national importance, having in mind the usefulness of labor in carrying on production. He referred to the recent launching of a naval vessel built by organised labor but who were entirely Ignored in the launching ceremony. "Seeing what we're doing to put down two madmen in Europe, I maintain the labor movement in this country is not being properly recognised.'' "The trade unions are the most useful and the strongest unit in the country. "When I see we're Ignored at a launching like this, it makes me good and sore! People there hsnd out prsise to the labor movement, but they do it with tongue in cheek. The labor movement should get more credit for what it's doing. Pan It On The trade union movement is organised solely for the purpoae of Setting better wagea, ahort enough ours so all can work, and healthful, sanitary working conditions. There isn't anyone working for a living who could conscientiously say they were opposed to it, that they want cheap wagea, long hours and un- healthful working conditions. That is exactly what it meana if they are opposed to the trade union movement Everything they do dovetails back to trying to bring about those three particular things- P»™ that on to the non-unionists, argue on that question. In this work many laws are passed, all for the benefit of the workers, all seeking to bring about better wagea, shorter hours and healthful conditlone.

Don't expect us to publish political news in en INDUSTRIAL paper. Political parties have their own publications. Carl E. Berg, Pretident of the Ed. monton Trades and Labor Council and Secretary of the Alberta Federation of Labor addressed the Vancouver Trades Council and stated that he would like to see the Trades and Labor Congress of Canada establish machinery to enable Canadian Trade Unionists to bring children of fellow trade unionists in Great Britain, to thia country to be cared for. He noted, he said, the aplendid support given by the British Trades Union movement to Spanish Trade UnionisU and their families during the Civil War and he felt that something of a similar nature could be undertaken by Canadian Trade Trade Unionists on behalf of British Unionists. Speaking of the possibility that countless children might be bombed and crippled by Nasi sky raiders, Mr. Berg declared that each trade union member should be willing to contribute one day's pay per month to asaiat the project. "We should do that because, in my opinion, the trade union movement will stand or fall by the fight it puts up in defease of democracy."
