Editor Subscription Battel 11.00 per Tear; to Unions, 4s per member per mean H °^^ PI Vancouvei\Canada^ctober^944j OPPOSE HEALTH INSURANCE One of the Federal Governments Post-War Social Security schemes appean to be already on the toboggan. As s matter of fact, it probably never waa intended to become operative, but wsa simply a'means whereby the demand for such legislation could be silenced while it pissed through the red tape of birth, decsy snd death. We in British Columbia hsve felt the power of the Medical fraternity. Organised Labor demanded a Provincial Health Iniurance Act. We got the Act but we never got the Insurance. The Medical fraternity told the government point blank that they would not co-operate. They defied the government to put the Act into operation—and despite the fact that a plebiscite on the queition ihowed an overwhelming majority of voters in favor of the legislation, sfter being on the statute books for seven years we are still without Health Iniurance. Now the Federal Government has Health Insurance on ita agenda and the bigwigs of the Medicine Men have already condemned it, and will probably follow the tactics of British Columbis's sawbones. Dr. T. W. Walker, president of the British Columbia Hospital! Association, has dubbed It s bureaucratic scheme. Another lesder of the pill peddler, in Saskatchewan hss intimated dire consequence, on the heslth of the people if the Act goes into operation, and right across the country, in each large community, we may be sure thst the docton sn organised against It unless they get their price and their own conditions. If the government wants to be sincere in ita Heslth Insurance plan it should ignore the threats of the big shots in the Medical fraternity, because we feel thst their places csn be filled by a lot of bright young men who are getting a wonderful experience in the military hospitals. Ai a matter of feet, a young medical man in Vancouver who ha* had military hospital experience. Juit recently cured a caie because of that experience, which hss very seldom been cured before, snd which other docton hen wen unsbls to handle. After the war then may be many medical men who will lack patients, Just like there will be msny worken without Jobs, but if the government puts forwsrd ita Heslth Insurance scheme, then will be a place for theae men, and the bigwig* in the Medical fraternity can be left to attend to the gouta of the plutocrat* and the double chins of arlstrocratic society dsmes. Union Is Ifo Stronger Than Its Members Wis have hsd the experience thst a few determined and militant union men and women, Impelled by a deep felt conviction that our only security lies in organiution, by csreful planning, close co-operation and prodding efforts, either on their own initiative or under direction of their local union's officers, have leavened with the spirit of unionism the entire force of employees in a targe establishment or chain of establishments and have brought them Into the union. Such members are loyal to their union because they believe in their union, and they eagerly act as Its voluntary missionaries. They will not tolerate sn unwarranted attack upon their union or ita officers from union-hating outsiders. An attack upon the union is correctly construed by such memben as an attack upon them because they lee themselves as part of the union. A union is no stronger than ita memben.

Hatal Weffcefs TnBB|W Nsw York's 25,000 organised hotel worken won a great triumph September 18 last, equalled only by the signing of their first wsge and hour agreement with the powerful Hotel Association of New York City, when the union-proposed industry-wide soetal security plan was ordered set up in all the 132 union hotels by unanimous vote bf the three-man commission considering the current wage demands of the New York Hotel Trades Council. A. F. of L. The social security plan will be paid for entirely by the hotel owners, at a cost of nearly $1,000,000 a year, through contributions based on a percentage of their weekly payrolls, and thua will cost the hotel workers nothing. The programme will be administered by a Board of Trustees elected by the union. Every member of the Council in good standing working In the hotels will receive, subject to such regulations as the Bosrd of Trustees establishes ss to length of serviee in the industry snd of good standing in the union befon the benefits begin: A paid-up life insurance policy; a paid-up sickness insurance policy; a paid-up accident insurance policy; and adequate hospital care for the memben snd his or her immediate family. Unlike the group insurance existing in some of the hotels, for which the workers psy s considerable sum although management, also contribute to the cost, the union insurance programme will remain in effect when a member changes from one hotel job to another.

Caa%F«WoriB«» h Pacific Shipyards Aa "S.O.S." for 28,000 mora worken ia West Coast sUpbailding and naval repair yards, plus 2008 for Pearl Harbor, was put oat recently by Chairman Paul V. McNutt of the War Manpower Commission. Stopping up of the war in the Pacific makes the added manpower necessary, ha said. Sixteen thoussnd worken are needed for naval repair yards and 9000 for yards building new troop transports snd combat- loaded cargo ships, which are to replace types of landing craft hitherto used. "This ia an expanding programme and has been given top priority," McNutt said. "These vessels will plsy a vital role in impending attacks sgainst Japanese-held bases. Nothing must stand in ths way of providing these ships on schedule." About 65 per cent of the worken, he explsined.wlll be recruited outside of the West Coast. He urged worken engaged in less essentisl work to apply at local employment service offices for the Psclfic Coait Jobi.

The raw materials which the internees are daily converting into a variety of products now used directly ion of the war come forests and textile in the prosecution of the war come from Canadian " " *■—•"'- mills. The experiences gsined at sea by the war prisoners hsve provided them with a cross-section of many trades and these have proven useful in their present work.

June 6. Led by limit. Gordon Henry of Montreal, thia crew Included Archie Chapman, St. John., Quebec, Tom Reeves, Toronto! and Lloyd Stsaman, Owen Sound. Under n salvo of long range shells, their squadron splashed ashore two hours after the first Commando asaault and moved a mile inland. At that moment it waa touch-and-go on the eande. If the Naate attacked with armor now, it waa up to Lieut. Henry, and othere like him, to cripple that attack. Otherwise, brave Canadian' foot attldiere would be killed . ■. perhaps pushed into the eea. And the Naata did attack! Hiding In low willows, Henry watched the German Panthers rush ( forward through the sands. By radio he quietly told hie own gunners, and those in other tonka, to hold their fire. They coubLhjsve .hot, with accuracy, at a mile, Inatend, they waited until the Germane were 300 yard* away, them ehnttered the enemy leader with one terrific aalvo. The neat salvo blew a tank to pieces, and within one minute of the flrtt red hot .hell, six tanks . . . the entire enemy formation • . a had been blown to pieces. Lieut. Henry's crew got five of the six. There were no survivors. Then Henry and hia Panther-killers rumbled forward nnd got three mace Panther* within the next hour. In erne hour and one minute, they .temnted a German charge, knocked out eight Panthers, suffered no loea and consolidated their held on n entail piece of France. And that waa jtset one leelated case of Canadian hsrslim on D-Day. i:;U' I i UNITED DISTILLERS LTD* INDUSTRIAL ALCOHOL DIVISION VANCOUVER AND « I.I MSB Y* CANADA Secvvitjr hi Tha Poat-War WorU (Workers' Educstional Association) On the but dsy of the Summer Camp the 80 students broke up into four groups to discuu key Trade Union problem! end to report their findings to the School as a whole. The four panel groups were the following: 1. "The Future of Workers' Edu cation in B.C." 2. "Women in the Post-War World." t. "Unions and Political Action." I 4. "Security in the Post-War World." Each panel group elected ita own chairman to lead discussion in the separate panel and elected a secretary to report the findings of the panel to the entire group. No one wss permitted to act aa chairman or secretary who had any part in the school curriculum or who was on the W.E.A. executive. It.ta very much to the credit of the eight men end women who scted in these capacities thst they did a job that won them the unstinted applause of their fellow-student* st the csmp.

Thia can beet be realised when Lsbor la represented on every government 5tanning body, both at the Peace 'able and at the Post-Wsr Planning Committees. It must be recognized that many people, particularly returned members of the Armed Forces, will need special training for new jobs, so it is necessary that the need be implemented and the necessary training schools be set up. For the purpose of maintaining and bettering our present standard of living, it will be necessary to have our war industries converted into the manufacturing of civilian consumer goods. It is highly probable that such large Male conversions will bring about temporary dislocations and provision for such temporary periods of unemployment should be taken care of by Unemployment Insurance. The responsibility for seeing that there ta no unemployment in Canada in the post-war period lies with Government, Management snd Labor. Security in the post-war world csn be realized only if on an International rather than a National basis, Therefore, it becomes necessary that all possible ssslstance be given the people of the war torn countries In their work of rehabilitation. This, , in part, ia already begun through the work of the United Nationa Relief 'Rehabilitation Adminiatration. This assistance should be given without interference with the government these people choose to aet up in their countries, providing such government are not of a fascist nature. Further, to facilitate the work of rehabilitation snd to prevent future wan, we favour the setting up of some form of League of Nations with compulsory representation from all countries, Organized labor haa made a tremendous contribution to tho winning of the wsr, snd csn mske even greater contributions in the post-war period. This work could be greatly accelerated through the medium of regular conferencea of representatives of the Trade Unioni from all countries of the world. To help achieve International Trade Union Unity, the following reaolution was passed: Wheresa, the interchange of ideal, Information re living standards, etc., between workers' educational groups throughout the world is at present limited, and Whereas, such interchange could help the progress of both these groups and their countries, Therefore, be it resolved thst ths W.E.A. prepare and make available lists of Trade Union* in aa many countries as possible to encourage auch interchange of correspondence. It wss further resolved to assist Trade Unions of recently liberated countries. a better underatanding of w2*J problems snd definitely lesdtaS economicsl production and ish.3 increased output which maltst!!*. tible for the company to par uSl wage..

In feet, I believe thst it hss been on everyone's mlad e good deal for the pest Jour years or so. Ia Canada the Trsaes Congress, almost all Trades Councils, locsl unions, public bodiei, City Council!, Provincial Governments, n weU n tbe Federal Government have nt up rehabilitation committees. Reports have been handed "own «m. ia no can waa there a report that did not contain some valuable practical lead or recommendation upon which our Government could act to advantage. When I apeak of the rehabilitation of the workera, I mesa first, the men aad women of the armed forces end secondly the men aad women who nave been employed in war Industrie.. They are all one. They are aU fighting this wsr together, depending one upon the other and must meet tbe fight for the pesce together, or tho fight will be lost for sQ. We must aot under any circumstance! allow that line which some nek to draw between the men who hive fought on the battlefronta aad thon who have fought on the home front. Only by joining all force* and obtaining security tor all can there be real peace and a real victory. There are some quaint ideaa being set sflost at preient on rehabilitation. Idea, auch aa reinatatement in their former position. Good if they had oae. Vocstional Training — thta ia sin good if there is a job welting for them when they hsve completed their training. Of courn, too, there is the Veterans' Land Aet which provides among other things establishment on bind for s full time farmer. Enough nid. This Act also provides for urban and other workers desiring small homes nesr their employment. Fine for thon who have employment, but unfortunately the thing that is udly lacking in any plan the Government has put forward to date is employment, nor hss ths Government to my knowledge msde sny plan or endeavor to provide that employ- meat. Among the many suggestions put forward by Labor to meet the employment situation after the war, were shorter hours, shorter work week, annual holidaya with pay for all workers, Pensions for all at the age of 60, free education for all from the primary to University, clearing of slums, installation of sewers, building of roads, matters that could be put in operation simply snd speedily; yet, so far as we can find out, no plans have been made to put any of then suggestions in operation. According to Webster's, to rehabilitate means to restore to former condition or status, and seemingly that is just what our Government intends to do. Restore us to the conditions of the hungry thirties. That is, of courn, it we allow them to do so. Labor should insist that the Government nt up an honest to goodnen employment committee to ne to it that there is work for those who have beea rehabilitated and thon who are ready for work without rehabilitation. The time hn come for the power, to state their intention—not on rehabilitation — but on employ ment after the war. There Are No Bats In This Fond There are no buts, — or Ifs — about this Fund. We are still going strong and we hope to continue that way. We have now touched the 1,- 267,500 mark!

We want to continue this good work and on August 21st we sent out, through our Publicity Depart ment, another appeal to all affiliated Trades and Labor Councils in Can ada, asking them to again bring up the matter of donations at their ular metlngs and to persuade each iliated local union to put their shoulders behind the wheel and see that this Fund goes over the top before the end of the year. We set our goal at tl0,000, which means 4,000,000 cigarettes! That seems like a lot of money, but remember that if every affiliated organisation in Csnsds came through with a 11 donation, we would have no difficulty in reaching our objective. 11 guarantees S00 cigarettes, $100 guarantees 30,0001 As pointed out in our recent circular letter. If everyone in the Trade Union Movement could read the letters of aprectation which are pouring into thia office from the men on the battlefields, prisoner* ot war and wounded soldier, in hospitals, they wouid realise how much these cigar- ettea are appreciated. Since going to pren with our last issue we have received aa acknowledgement card from a young Lieu- tenent, formerly a member of the Vancouver Local of the Amalgamated Association of Street, Electric Railway and Motor Coach Employee*, which needs no elaboration: "Dear Sin end Brothers: Thank* very much for thi* splendid gift It was really greatly appreciated aad ea I em about to move to whore nmt action ta really taking place I em moot thankful for then.

Recent studies have stimulated the public discussion of question! concerning Social Welfare and the Post- Wsr Rehabilitation of Personnel from the Armed Forcei to a point where It has been thought desirable to introduce two new chapter!—Welfare Servicea and Post-War Reconstruction and the Rehabilitation of Ex-Service Personnel.
