Federation of Labour convention in session at Hotef Vancouver FEDERATION President Russ St. Eloi gave the opening address as dose to 400 delegates met in Vancouver for the eighth annual provincial labor conven tion. Delegates called for new efforts of labor unity, mapped labor's legislative goals for the next year that will be presented in a brief to the govern ment. Delegates call for new unity B.C. Federation of Labor wound up its eighth annual convention here with acall tor greater unity In labor tanks, a step- ped-up organization drive and a continued campaign against anti- labor legislation. The convention's 380delegates at the week-long sessions In Hotel Vancouver tackled scores of resolutions and reports and mapped its legislative goals that will be presented later to'the cabinet. Long debate came on the thorny Issue of the maritime trusteeship, but the officers stand that "there was no other alternative ' to correct the situation" was supported and delegates Instructed the Federation to look Into the possibility of boycotting Amerl- ■ can SlU-manned ships In B.C. ports if picketing of Canadian ships continues in U.S. ports. Raiding and labor unity also sparked strong debate and the convention by a good majority voted to set up a committee to try to**bring outside unions back Into1 the -CLC- aadt "promote a- maximum degree of unity within tne labor movement." The convention heard a stirring address from Mrs. Tarea Pitt- man, west coast regional secretary of the National Association dor the advancement of colored I on.

Said Hartleys "I have.aiways been confident I would win. But I'm glad the suspense is over:" < AT MSA MEETING Doctors' fee increase may be challenged Labor members of Medical Services Association will give close scrutiny to the proposed increase in doctor's fees. Vancouver Labour Council has urged all MSA union members to attend the annual meeting in the Bayshore Inn on Monday, Dec. 9 to protect their interests in the health plan. Council President Ed Simms told delegates that labor representation could block the six per cent boost in doctors' fees if the higher charges are not justified. Any person who is covered by MSA is a member and has a vote at the annual meeting. Labor's position voiced at the labor council meeting was a simple one: if there is justification for an increase in doctor fees they will not be opposed. But if the doctors do not have a legitimate case, labor will figh t .gainst the increase. Said President Suns: "We will be fair to the doctors if they have a fair case.' Council Secretary Paddy Neale said some fees, especially the most common ones, will be increased from 20 to 100 per cent. John Hayward of the Street Railwaymen's Union pointed out that MSA has built up assets of JI 13 million and said this it a staggering amount for a non-profit organization He also said that doctors in B.C. are the highest paid in Can .da with an average income between 117,000 and $18,000. MOVE IN i- The Communication Workers of America, an affiliate of the CLC and the AFL-CIO, said it has applied for certification to represent 800 B.C. .Telephone Company employees in the traffic division.

The Port Council, earlier this year in a brief to the provincial :^':v;.':':'-^':':'^^ cabinet, stated: ".;.we hereby express our support for the much maligned section of BUI 42 which, in our opinion, harms no legitl- _ mate trade union purpose and, on the contrary, protects the dues of thosemembers who find themselves as an intimidated political minority in their own union organization."

"It is also regrettable that they were associated with the- scurrilous attack en CLC President Jodoin by the same Port Council.

New warning about use * of gasoline The indiscriminate use of gasoline and other flammable solvents as cleaning agents in industry has brought, a warning from the accident prevention department of the Workmen's Compensation Board, the Board said an increasing number of injuries are 6'ccurlng' from explosion and fires caused by workmen using gasoline and other dangerous solvents«for cleaning and decreasing purposes. Unions must pool efforts to organize Unions should pool their resources and jaunch an organizing drive under the guiding wing of the B.C. Federation jof. Labour. This recommendation ' was made to the Federation's annual convention after a special committee reported that total union membership in B.C. had dropped by 17,287 in the last five years —despite the fact the total labor force had increased by 45,000. The committee placed much of the blame for the membership drop on BUI 43. . It said the Federation should call a meeting of unions willing to assist in pooling their resources for an organizational campaign. "Targets and priorities could be established and such a plan could prove more effective than the present piece-meal organizational efforts which are stymied by restrictive legislation. The committee warned that the present situation, which followed BUI 43, is "dangerous and must be faced soon unless we are prepared to stand by and watch the labor movement gradually be strangled." Appeal court upholds Retail Clerks picketing / Retail Clerks Union has won a significant court victory In tl»e long dispute against Zeller's store in the Dell Shopping Centre in Whalley. The B.C. Court of Appeal has ruled that striking clerks were not committing an illegal nuisance when they picketed the store.

He said the School District College will serve adults who ■ are preparing for employment, who need retraining .programs, who -wish to gain a specific academic standing, who want further education for .self-improvement. He stressed that the college is geared primarily to help those who must work and acquire an education at the same time.' < Goard said - that at present the School Board conducts eve ning classes and many workers are attempting to upgrade their education. But he said due to the considerable demand for night- school courses, the Board believes there is a real.need for full - time day classes. He said the program will make it possible for unemployed persons to become qualified for iiew types of jobs. » "It is our hope that this college will be designed so that the time schedules will allow the unemployed and the night-shift workers a chance to obtain short course education in specific fields," he said. • ■ *~~r / needed. schools, UBC, Simon Fraser Uni- : Other important points made by versity and the Institute of Tech- Goard were: nology.

"■- .:■._;-' win support in dispute * Trade unionists have rallied to die supoort of bus drivers in the tussle with the B.C. Hydro over stand-by time at football games. Hydro had demanded that volunteer, drivers be paid only for the time worked to and from the games on special buses - and that they wait between trips on their own time. The Street Railwaymen's Union immediately stood its ground as Hydro attempted to change the pay arrangement that was established earlier. And Vancouver and District Labour Council rallied behind them. / SRU secretary Charles Stewart said Hydro spent more money-on newspaper advertising to* explain its -side of the dispute than it would cost to give drivers, the stand-by pay: i > "Hydro should be condemned for bringing this out in public. We refuse to be blackmailed by these tactics," he said. Art O'Keefe of the Electrical Workers said that this action was an example of the continuing callous disregard of Hydro for workers and the general public. - The ^company has tried for over a year to break down conditions of all employees, regardless of their union affiliation, he said. - Council bucks ITU position ' Vancouver Typographical Union has won. the. support of the Vancouver and District Labour Council in the long dispute at ... .£wu«e__ft 1_EAJ_C ■ - _ CRI^iTW-ftVBI,— . ; A resolution passed by council delegates gave a record of support "to the end that they (ITU) may win an honorable settlement."

WINNER of $500 bursary awarded by Port Alberni IWA was Dina Louise Simons of Errington, now attending UBC. The local union has awarded the annual bursary sice 1955. Dina is the daughter of Hugo Simons, a faller at Franklin River and long-time IWA member. The B. C. Provincial Council of Carpenters has termed an efficiency study of construction laborers and-carpenters made by the National Research Council as "sloppy, incomplete and inaccu- , rate." ^ Findings of the study made in Vancouver and Toronto by Professor David Aird of UBC'S Industrial Relations Institute were released recently. REFUTE CHARGES ,: Carpenters immediately refuted charges made in the report including alleged unproductive time of tradesmen. William Cameron, chairman of the carpenters' council, said the report was "a fantastic document, to say the least." He said some of the statements and generalizations in the report are almost beyond belief. "Since the report singles out the carpenters and laborers for particular attention, the Provincial Council of Carpenters feels it should be exposed for what it is, a sloppy, incomplete and inaccurate jumble of conclusions which do the construction industry and the- tradesmen in it a great deal of harm,"5 said Cameron. SPECIFIC POINTS He said the report does little to enhance the prestige ef the research group. Dealing with some specJXic points, Cameron pointed out: The report said "carpenters' were unproductive and idle 40.9 percent of the time." . i Replied Cameron: "TotaUy " iinlfue.~rn*l6erfirgHy cofiipeOtive construction- industry, carpenters are producing for the full eight hours and would not hold their jobs if they wereunproduc- ive and idle for three hours out of the eight-hour shift." • ■ I' The report said: In boom times, workers are everywhere and they know their jobs and do good work.". Cameron replied: "TMswetrd statement baffles anyone with any ' knowledge of construction. The fact is that when a boom ts on, skiUed carpenters are in great demand and become scarce and. In direct ratio, unskilled men are attracted to the industry." The report said: "Labor spends too much time squabbling over jurisdiction.'' Cameron replied: "If Prof. Ai rd had done some real research he would have discovered that unions have almost completely eliminated work stoppage due to jurisdictional disputes." On. another section of the report, Cameron commented: "We agree with Prof. Aird that there is a good number of fly-by-night contractors who*, sheltered under the notorious Bill 43, are'taking' the public right and left These people, mostly In the housebuilding field, hire cheap and unskilled labor and the end product is poor. "We suggest to Prot Aird that here is a great challenge to tbe National Reasearch Council. "The sordid story of housebuilding in Canada needs to be told. Instead of maligning the competent tradesman and legitl - metely established construction firm, the council could perform a great public service byre- search on housebuilding." Protest overtime "t. .

" _?$> Paddy _*eaie \ Vancouver -and District £ Labour Council —'--. : Three matters concerning our : civic government bear comment. \ The first is the recent revel- : ation by George Hotra, President :' of the Vancouver and District : Taxi Cab Drivers and Dis- i patchers Union, that taxi cab : licenses, ' Issued by the city I licensing department for $40, are I being sold for $10,000. This situation results from the : fact that one license is issued i for each 1,600 residents in the : city—and that 3.3 taxi licenses I are in effect at the present time. ; The practice is that owner- : drivers who decide to quit, resell : their licenses within the industry I at exorbitant prices. When the i cost of the vehicle is added,, the ! result is that it is costing$13,000 •to $14,000 to get into the taxi : cab business. ' . The union's suggestion, which seems very sensible, is that driver-owners who' wish to give up their licence?, be required to return them to the city licensing department where they could be re-Issued at $40 to the first name on the waiting list. Such a procedure would eliminate the present practice of trafficking in city licenses, and would have a beneficial effect on the taxi industry. Let's see some action on this matter by our city council. * * * One of the members of city council continues to show good reason why he should not be reelected. Aid. Tom Campbell, who continues to wheel and deal like a 19th century buccaneer with utter disregard for the welfare of Vancouver citizens, has introduced a plebiscite on the proposed district, college which will mislead the voters of Vancouver. . i With a plebiscite already being presented asking voters if they favor a district college for Vancouver, Aid. Campbell's plebls- PADDY NEALE cite asks -ratepayers if they approve paying for the college. No mention Is made of the fact that the city would only pay one- sixth of. the cost with federal and provincial governments paying five-sixths. 7 Thus most voters will be mis- '$&':V$&.&ffiS'?&Q&i&$$£&.$$$!&vS&Wr led into thinking that the city will have to pay the entire cost. Such a college, providing as it would, <t$y and evening courses beyond the high school level, in a wide variety of fields, would provide Job training for some, preparation _<*# imivetstty for others, and an opportunity for business, industry.'and other organizations to arrangecoursesof self - improvement for employees, and self-improvement for representatives of management. It is estimated that 2,500 Vancouver residents would be en- roiled annually. The benefits to the community of such a college are evident. * * - * No one should be surprised at Campbell's reactionary attitude, hoV.ever. He has recently opposed the improved minimum wage legislation for janitors which were granted by the Board of Industrial Relations, after, ah intensive campaign by the B.C. Federation of Labour. Again he has used the technique of confusing the Issue by attack-?: Ing the free suite provisions of •:•: the new Minimum Wage Order <iji On the grounds that the free •:•: suites will have to be declared*: as other Income for income tax •:•: purposes. g We have already talked to many « "caretakers who are overjoyed jij: at being relieved of rentals of jij: $100 to $150 on their suites. I jiji wonder if the fact that Alderman' jiji Campbell, as owner of several ?• apartment blocks, will lose a ;? few hundred dollars rent per iji month, has anything to do with iji his attitude? S . The fact is emphasized time jiji and time again that we are not ' . jiji going to get good civic govern- jiji ment as long as we elect coun- jjjj cillors" whose real estate in- !•:• terests take precedence over the $• interests of the people of Van- i-ij couver. :•:• ,"**'' . ' ' ■■. v" Let's get rid of these real'*: estate'promoter-politicians, and jij: elect some people concerned with jiji public service. Si Letters to the editor Heal split Td rather have a job" Civic elections — a lesson? In the Burnaby civic election this month, labor joined with the Burnaby Citizens' Association instead of fielding its own candidates as had been done in recent years. This move paid off. BCA candidates made a clean sweep of all but one of the Burnaby seats and the so-called Non-Partisan Association clique was turfed out of office. This victory may point the way to future action in other areas, perhaps including Vancouver where labor has been unsuccessful in electing candidates. The repeated failure has meajj*:- that working men, small businessmen, elderly citizens, home owners and other groups in the community have had no champions at city hall. * * *- In the Dec. 11 civic vote in Vancouver, Vancouver and District Labour (Jouri- cilofficially has not endorsed any candidate seeking election. « . Although no candidate has been endorsed, it's probable that many working people will swing their support behind former al- * derman Halford Wilson. Labor has backed Wilson many times in recent years because he is one of the few who consistently has fought for measures which labor can support. He won the endorsement of the labor council last year when he made an unsuccessful bid for the mayor's seat. . ^ Tom Alsbury is the only other candidate with a labor background: Here a former president of the" labor council. * * * In the Vancouver election, the labor council, however, has taken a strong stand on one issue. It is urging a solid 'yes" vote in the district college plebiscite. This college will fill a big gap in the present educational system, i. It will give many adults the opportunity to upgrade their education and training. This opportunity is a paramount, need today as automation roots thousands from their jobs, their past job training becomes outmoded and employment opportunities put more and more emphasis on educational standing. Editor: In recent Issues 'of the Sun, Jack Scott and Tom Berger gave two opinions on why the NDP did not do very good in the last election, and no doubt all supporters are wondering what went wrong. Though many may have theories, may I suggest raat we con-j sider the question ofthe"wfhgs'' In our party, as well as in pur unions and other movements to see if this is not the.cause of one of our failures. Though we may differ on the approach that our movements should take, let me suggest that whatever "wing" 1_ In power, that they contact the other "wing" to select a spokesmen for them, and that all functions have an opportunity of having their views put forward, not only at conventions, but also on election platforms that are presented to the electors. This may not solve all the probems, but It, could take away much of the bitterness that often permeates our activities, and it could result in a greater cooperation. We all know that this Is necessary of we want to see our working class movements move foreward as they are doing In tother progressive parts of the world. ■ • Call Erickson.

The black day for the union came two days prior to applying foj certlflcatlontorthe frame and mattress workers when the employer fired five employees. The union immediately applied for a court (injunction and filed - a complaint to the department of labor under Section 7. The local was successful in obtaining a restraining order through thetourt for all three of the cQinpany's operations, but when our case was heard befoxfe the Labor Relations Board., they saw fit, after the union produced affidavits and witnesses, that the employer did no wrong. From that day on, this employer had a field day, by intimidating, by firing and threatening the workers that the plant-was going to close and be moved to Alberta where there are lower v^agesbe- ' ing paid.

Support the Musician's Union with a new gift idea — give Symphony concert tickets. Eats! and goodies? Nalley's potato chips and chip dips are union made for the party givers. Christies brand biscuits give party ideas, Dad's cookies are always a treat. In mixers, chose the union-. made products: Pepsi Cola, Stubby, Schweppes and Dr. Pepper. And for chocolates, Smiles and Chuckles and Molrs should be en your union-made list. mm" For your, table, pick B.C. union-made wines. Labor has campaigned against the purchase of South Africa wines and other products from that country. If you are in the market for new furniture, or a new mattress, choose from the following manufacturers who hold contracts with the Upholsterers' Union: Archibald and Sheperd, Borsholt Fujpiture, Hammond Furniturk, Greggs Furniture, Small and Boyes, ' Restmore Manufacturing, 1). B. Lewis Furniture, Dependable Furniture (Flex Steel), Pacific Upholstery, Paramount Furniture. Mattresses: Canadian Bedding (Sealy), Grange Mattress and Simmons Ltd. Pick a union label gift. It takes little effort to ask If a product is union-made. Federation cdlls for new unity (Continued from Page 1) people. She told delegates that the civil rights battle in the OS. is a fight for the salvation of western civilization. Delegates renewed their support for a provincial all-inclusive, government-paid medicare -plan, pressed for: compulsory government car insurance, threw their. Weight behind the drive for district colleges, and again! attacked the use of unjunctions In labor disputes as an unfair means to defeat the legitimate goals of labor. The' convention continued' labor's demand for a compre- hensinve medical coverage plan for B.C. and officers were instructed to push the campaign. Coverage, the convention reaffirmed, should include medical lists', optical ail (I he costofdrugs, 'ally subsidized and revenue of and surgical dental care and It should be out of the gi the province. In a program to boost funds for strike assistance) the convention' recom mended..!., affiliated unions that they set up a continuing fund from which donations could be made to other unions requiring help. . rt The resolution said , many unions normally do not have resources to aid other unions and that the establishment of a reserve fund Within each union would make it possible for all unions to rally, to financial aid of others. Regulation of ambulance service in B.C. was. an Important issue, with many resolutions urging provincial action. The convention said new legislation should govern the licensing, equiping and staffing of ambulances to correct the present inadequate and unsatisfactory service in many, areas. Other resolutions said the cost of ambulance services should be covered under the B.C. Hospital Insurance Service that the charge bade by ambulance companies should be under the regulations of the Public Utilities Commission or some other public control. Ever active in the field of education', labor delegates have again called on the provincial education department to' reestablish supplemental examinations for Grade 12 students. A resolution declaredthaf'the opportunity to advance must not be predicated on the calendar but on the ability of the students" and urged terminal exams be held a minimum of four times a year. In the Insurance field, the convention renewed its demand for a government low-cost car insurance scheme. It termed present auto insurance rates in B.C. as "ridiculously high" and said that car insurance should be made compulsory instead of haphazard as It now is. ___ , The convention' again threw Its support behind the Beverage Dispensers Union in the campaign for protection of its members against heavy fines for serving minors. Present regulations place the operators and waiters In the position where they have to guess at the age of patrons. The onus,. said the convention, is misplaced, and It urged that regulations be changed to provide that the minor —the person who actually violates the law—be assessed the greater penalty if they enter licensed premises knowing his true- age Is under 21. - The convention also said a pen- alt y .should be imposed on persons who produce falsified documents ' In attempting to prove they are of legal age in entering licensed premises. ^ Measurements to improve arrangements for voting in provincial and federal elections In remote camps and small communities were urged by the convention. Many people are denied the equal opportunity to vote and special polls should be established in these areas, delegates declared. Criticism also was levelled at inadequate enumeration of voters in many areas and the calling of snap elections—as in the Sept. 30 provincial vote — which deprives thousands of the right to vote because there is insufficient time for registration. On Workmen's Compensation, the convention urged that the three-day waiting period to qualify for benefits be eliminated so that an injured workman be given time-loss compensation for every day he is absent from work. With the increasing concern about industrial'noise, delegates urged that the provincial govern- ' ment. launch research Into the hazards of noise and its effect on the health of workers. On the same subject, the convention said the current commission of inquiry on the Compensation Act should recommend an interim method of qualifying tlrtte for persons who suf- See other stories on Page 6 . . fer a gradual loss of hearing on a particular job. The plan to use student labor as part of an' occupational training program in industry and business came under fire and the and the convention urged the federation to investigate the program because, of reports that unscrupulous employers were using this plan to obtain a pool of cheap labor. It was pointed out that students in the program were hot covered by minimum wage regulations. •. A resolution which urged that Federation convention prohibit the use of ."official slates" of officers failed to win approval. Other regulations urged: " " t * A reduction In the waiting period required for persons applying for Unemployment Insurance benefits. *. Increase in social welfare rates In B.C. and reinstatement of full medical coverage for all social assistance recipients. * Provincial and federal governments to launch Immediate planning to counteract the spread of drug addiction- and for ihe rehabilitation of drug addicts. * Urged the immediate re- establishment of a Canadian merchant marine on the basis of an operating subsidy.

The Federation should still • press for a minimum wage of $1.25 per hour and a 40-hour week, plus statutory holidays for all employees. f We regret that thus far, our efforts on behalf of the workers In the fruit and vegetable industry regarding hours of work, have been unsuccessful. It Is abhorrent that In 1963, 54 hours-per- * week Is still regarded by the government as a normal work weelt for these unfortunate employees, i-. Of extreme concern Is the' utter lack of enforcement of even the present inadequate regulations. Unorganized employees are being exploited by unscrupulous employers and a de- termltied effort must be made to .have the department of labor enforce the regulations, Inadequate though they may be. '•* * * The Federation has continued its efforts for amendments to the Workmen's Compensation' Act, to overcome the difficulties, complexities and injustices which typify its present administrations It is not expected that the Royal Commission will report for some time on its findings and no action is expected by the- gdvemmenl;,unt_-''thenl but there are other areas where we can and must Insist on action by the Board." , ... .. Pressure must be brought to bear for the frequent and adequate inspections, particularly of ' construction projects and other Industries which, by their very nature, prove hazardous to workers. , -""T""" .. .*''-** * ~.r*=—-tt-the last session of the Leg- ' lslature, the government introduced Bill 27 which.seekstpprovide a method for dealing with grievances during term of_.a collective agreement. In our opinion, this Act does little to improve the situation 'and Ignores the important recommendations contained in the Special Committee Report last year and sub-- Jobless total drops — it's probably luck More good luck than good management. This was the measured comment ot the Federation officers in looking at the unemployment picture In B.C. "Despite a reduction in the number of unemployed In the province, there is no evidence that this has been achieved as a result of any planned or constructive attack on this pressing and serious problem. Indeed, it would appear the" goventments<i_re reluctant to face up to the challenge of technological change and Its impact not only" on the workers affected but on our society. "Organized labor must continue to press for a degree of economic planning that will insure jobs and security instead qf hand- mitted to the government for its consideration. The experience-so far under Bill 27 has been rather limited but no worthwhile improvements have been noted. It siinply appears to be another step along the road of frustration and delay. The committee is- of the opinion that the vast majority ot our citizens are deeply concerned by the often unethical, unscrupulous and sometimes illegal practices that are being permitted which separate our members from their hard-earned dollars. Frequently, finance companies, used car sales companies, telephone soliciting agents and many others, appear to have an open season on innocent citizens. The time has come for a frontal attack on all of these unscrupulous operations.' The Federation should press for a Consumer's Bill of Rights which should embody: ■'.. ' .-»•""**'" (a) Full disclosure to the purchaser of rates and total Interest burdens charged. , . (b) Legislation to end decep- tive and misleading packaging and advertising. ■ (c) Effective safeguards against distribution of tainted, impure or dangerous foods, drugs and other consumer goods. (d) Legislation and financial assistance for consumer co-operatives and credit unions. (e) A research organization to assist industry and consumer groups in product research and establishment of quality and size standards. ... The new Payment of Wages Act, though"it does contain some improvements, still'falls short of our requirements. > •'■''. The Federation's request for a mandatory bondW'g fund to assure that employees secure their wages and benefits as set out by collective agreement or Statute, has been ignored. Affiliated membership to the B.C. Federation of Labour increased slightly during the last year and now is about 97,000. The Federation convention was told that abour 15 unions with a membership of 1,800 affiliated during the year, while three locals of the Pulp and Sulphite. Workers dropped out after disaffiliating from their .international union. The convention was told: "We hope that this rift can be bridged in order that workers in this industry can have effective bargaining strength and also a voice in the councils of the mainstream of organized labor."

Special Machinery Overhauls & Repairs Screening Plants •■'■ S Conveyors Construction Towers & Equipment Political education report Political action results 'very disappointing9 Although the contribution by the labor movement to election campaigns has been significant, the results have been disappointing, In the recent'provincial election in particular, the outcome must cause concern to all trade unionists. As a result of the re-election of the anti-labor Bennett government, we may face further discriminatory legislation. Our -first consideration must be' to overcome the year-round stream of propaganda which confuses and misleads the majority of the working people in the province. We must face the fact that this .propaganda has its effect, that It cannot be combatted just at election time, and that it will require a major year-found effort at political education to ensure more satisfactory results in the future. The kind of effort that 7s required is at the local Union and shop level. We would recommend that seminars be held in various reg- glons to supplement and assist in the development of political* education programs and to stimulate participation in municipal affairs ' and local government. The Socred Government deliberately disenfranchised thousands in the September provincial election and, judging by their past record, will try to do so again. It is Impossible to tell how many people lost their vote. We would recommend that the excellent registration program conducted during the election campaign by labor be extended on a year-round basis. Registration cards should be stocked by all Ideal unions, all current members registered, new members automatic*ally registered, and members re - registered during the year as they chang-e residence. In addition, campaigns to register all residents in the community can be undertaken at the local union level. - Finally, we must emphasize, to'.' our membership the extent of the duplicity of the present govern ment. During the recent cam- -paign, they reached an all-time low by circulating thousands of voters cards, printed on the same stock as official voting cards, and set up so as to resemble the official cards. The major difference In the two cards was, of course, the inclusion of the localSocred candidates names in the card. Many voters, particularly the elderly and the new Canadians, were tricked by this deceit Into be- leivlng that they must mark their ballots as shown on the fake card. Convention criticizes UIC tactics Strong criticism of some officers of the Unemployment Insurance Commission for "tactics bordering of, trickery'' in handling claims foj unemployment benefits by older persons was levelled by'the Federation..con- vention. A resolution demanded an investigation into the tactics used by UIC officers in dealing %_th Claims from retired persons. "Officers of the UIC ar,e employing tactics bordering on. trickery in order to obtain statements which disqualify these people from benefits," the resolution said. Persons Involved are those who have reached retirement age/who have retired from their job but who are still capable of performing some types of work. CHAPMAN MOTOR &! iMArUINF -SHOP LTD !

Canadian view NEW YORK-Canadian trade unionists are determined to" ■ handle labor disputes affecting Canadians without domination from any other source. This message was carried to the AFL-CIO .convention here by. Joe Morris, executive vice- president of the Canadian Labour Congress. Morris, referring to the recent clash between the CLC and the AFL-CIO , over* the Canadian maritime trusteeship issue, told the big American labor convention: Stewardesses new group ~~ fails at PWA OTTAWA^Thp Canada Labor Relations board has rejected an application for certification made1 by the Pacific Western Airlines Flight Attendants' Association for a unit of 22 stewardesses employed in Vancouver by Pacific Western Airlines. \ Canadian Air LlneFltfeht Attendants' Association (CLC), certified in 1959 for the stewardesses, opposed the application. The Board ruled that the applicant group "was not at the time of application an operating trade union within the meaning of the Act and there was no authority to make the application." ' Stewardesses were on strike at PWA for six months earlier this year. £_«l_%__M¥-_-__KII«!H(!

"We must retain the power to New minimum for ambulance asked by Fed The B.C. Federation of Labor has asked the Industrial Relations Board to recommend wage increases of up to $140 a month for ambulance driver-attendants. In an 11-page brief submitted jointly by the Federation and the Ambulance Employees' Union Local 873, the board was told that ambulance men work 88 hours a week, and that on the basis of a 40-hour week their pay would only amount to $45. Present rate for fiveyears experience are $1.07 an hour, for starters 63 cents an hour. The brief asked for a minimum of $ 2 an hour for a 40-hour week. make decisions — right or wrong — which affect us and the welfare and progress of those whom we represent. "To do less, would be to betray the confidence and trUst reposed In us when we are elected to responsible positions in the labor movement." Tactfully sidestepping the details of the dispute, the CLC officer carried the message that the ties forged between Canada and the U.S., Including the link between the labor movements, are strong, vital and can endure. But he said the, ties must be based on mutual understanding and respect. The size and influence of the AFL-CIO far outweighs the CLC, he noted. "But I would suggest to you most strongly that the labor movement in Canada' will take second place to nobody in the fierce pride with which it promotes the goals and ideals of trade unionism." His remarks obviously were aimed at criticism of CLC leaders by some American labor leaders. - • 'I "We hold our trade union principles no less firmly than members of any other free, democratic trade union movement,"he told the convention. "Our desire to promote and advance the welfare of the common man Is no less strong, nor pursued with any less vigor than is the case with our fraternal organizations throughout the free world." He said that patient and private negotiations and explanation within the family circle is more likely to produce a satisfactory resolution of problems than public name - calling and dirty linen washing." He said that Canadian trade unionists have never been isolationists and had played a vigorous role in trade union affairs around the world and the CLC had defended the principle of international trade unionism In the face, of vigorous criticism by super-nationists within Canada. Morris wound up his fraternal greeting to the AFL-CIO delegates by quoting pioneer American labor leader Samuel Gompers. , ' "We are," said Gompers," brothers in a great common cause. A division of our two movements would be the gravest error, the biggest mistake In the world."

And, he said, the current thinking on the part of many will, have to change if the solutions are to be found- Woods said there are three kinds of interrelated issues which confront management, labor and government today. They are'either new or inten- I* '. sified problems for which settlements of the old order are inadequate. He spelled them out this way: " ■**> 1. New or intensified forms of competition internally and abroad associated with the enormous increase of economic growth in Europe and elsewhere, which is forcing Canadian business to adopt new techniques, new ap-, proaches, and new forms of organization. 2. • Labour is confronted with intensified insecurity not.only for workers, but for the unions themselves'— in security which is related to the rise in chronic unemployment, the increased rale of» more far-reaching technological change with its concomitant destruction of value in accumulated skills and with the results of growing service specialization and contracting- out. ,3. Public authorities are concerned with the social responsibility to assist industry and labor to meet the problems which rapidly evolving world economy is imposing. Government has^ moved from .a passive to an active role in economic life which means , that. the settlements reached in collective bargaining may have a serious impact on government public policy programs. There is a need to recognize that the emerging problems of all three—business, labor and government — require closely related solutions, he said. This means that manage ment and organized labor need to collaborate with one, another and with government to seek solutions to the problems of-both business and labor in the general context of the public interest. • But the present structures of institutions of business and labor are inadequate for the task, he said, and present public policy regarding labor relations; jfc, a deterrent to the evolution of these institutions' in the required direction.

This is the opinion of labor in B.C., voiced through the B.C. Federation of Labour. The Federation this month pinpointed facts about the Canada Pension Plan: it is contributory, universal, portable, and it is under public control. -■—: Bui because the plan has been under severe attack by private insurance interests, its passage through parliament is threatened. In this special report, The Statesman out-' lines important facts about the Canada Pension Plan that everyone should know. The plan Is designed to provide a retirement income to all citizens. The .cost to the wage earner Is 1% of his' income.. Employers contribute an equal amount. The plan is "portable" — that Is, your rights are maintained no matter where you move, or lor whom you are employed. The benefits are regulated bj'" your contributions and are considerably more than what private plans provide! ' .. - The plan is financed on a"pa^r- as-yoih-go" basis, that Is, nc large fund is built up-for in- • vestment purposes. It is entirely self-supporting from employee and employe] contributions. NO COVERAGE Seventy - rwo percent of the Canadian labor force has no pension coverage under private plans. The existence of a private pi ar does not ensure an individual', pension. Total labor" mobility, and individual freedom to change jobs, is seriously impaired by the existing private plans based upon place of employment. Employers hesitate to hire older workers because of private pension plan costs. The Canada Pension Plan includes more people and is more flexible than private plans; there- . fore, rates of contributions can be lower and rates of benefits higher. SOUND FOUNDATION The plan is part of a total social security program which is geared to the growth of theecon- - omy. It provides a sound foundation for other social programs. - Pensions are needed'for older people now! The plan is designed to pay far more to persons reaching retirement age In the near future than their own contributions would buy privately. Most employees who have old age security now under private plans lose these benefits if their employment is terminated. Private insurance interests have long held a favored posi-' tion in providing security-for- proflt in Canada. They feel their position is being threatened. If private plans have something real and genuine to sell, oyer' and above the provision of necessities, they will still find customers. Necessary and vital personal security, a minimum of which is provided by the plan, shculd:fl_ijt- be a matter of corp - orate speculation and profit. The insurance company spokesmen .claim that the plan will eliminate private plans and - so the means of gathering large pools of investment capital for Canadian Industry. Tlii.s, they say, would lead tofurther Imports, of foreign capital and so more foreign ownership, and control. First, experience in other countries snows that private plans continue as many Individ-, uals desire to supplement the government plans. The basic difference is that a free choice Is then possible between having only government adequacy and adequacy plus supplementary private benefits. Second, much of the private- pension-based Investment capital is controlled by foreign- owned insurance companies now. i Do you have any say in how your private premiums are invested? Other means exist for the col lection and investment of private savings; e.g., banks, life-insurance, etc. , The Canada Pension Plan is a "pay-as-you-go" plan, and so, does not accumulate large amounts of investment funds, but we say that it. should. This would be a. significant means of providing public influence in the operation of the national economy. The province of Quebec is doing this very thing. The Insurance companies say that additional costs of the Plan .on Canadian industry would be disastrous. This is nonsense. An.. 'increase in costs of 1% of payrolls would amount to less than 1% of one-quarter of manufacturing costs. The costs of the plan would be less than the costs of existing private plans. The insurance interests present a powerful opposition. There can be no doubt that political slush funds and lobby groups are being well supplied with funds—funds that represent your private pension premiums. While there are certain aspects of the Canada Pension Plan that we believe are inadequate, or in some instances wrong in principle, it is a step In the right direction. We believe the plan "deserves the support of every trade union member.

NET DRUM DRIVES HYDRAULIC AND MECHANICAL WINCHES KEEL COOLERS — STEEL DRUMS GENEVA - Aspecialconfer- ence of teachers under the International Labor Office has warned a critical shortage of competent teachers exists in many countries. The meeting declared that ''public opinion should be made :o realize fully that the existing shortage on competent and ex- .erienced teachers has reached. Uarming proportions andislike- ,y to become aggravated in years .o come." '"*•'.'' The experts said the shortage ,s attributable in large measure o the fact that the social and .conomic status of teachers, :helr living and working eondi- .ions, their terms of employment and career prospects, compare unfavorably with the existing opportunities in others walks of life." - The experts suggested the following measures to remedy the situation: '<••-_ "Teachers should enjoy a position and standing in the community corresponding to their function and to their cultural and social contribution. ' "They should be guaranteed a status and working conditions commensurate with their qualifications and responsibilities and should enjoy adequate protection and safeguards based on the law.*' The conference* was dealing with teaching in primary and secondary schools.. Steel warns new group is anti-labor TORONTO - UnitedSteelwork- ers has alerted unions to the threat of a professional anti-labor propaganda organization now established and at work in Canada. Steel research director Harry Waisglass said the organization is known as the Canadian Economic Foundation which is associated with the American Economic Foundation. He said CEF agents claim to be experts in "communications" (a euphemism for propaganda) with simplified explanations of 'economic, problems and simple solutions: For example, CEF blames unemployment on high wages, opposes social insurance such as pensions and health schemes that would take business away from private companies into government - operated schemes. Waisglass said he Interviewed George J. Roger*, head of CEF. Min reply to our query on its souce of funds, Rogers mentioned ihe .'Vancouver Foundation' but he failed to explain to our satisfaction what this Is, except to say that it has been endowed by some wealthy people who have an interest in the 'economic literacy' of Canadians." riaa___atBW««)»-i BENNETT'S I transfer: X X X 821 Victoria St. New WestaaiMfter ° LA 2-0811 X Season's Greetings A.

SIU was hiring hall ', .*»■ not union VICTORIA (jSpecial) - The Independent Seafarers' International Union used a hiring agency policy rather than operate on trade- union principles, B.C. -Federation of Labour Secretary Pat O'Neal told Victoria University Students. Defending Canadian Labour Congress action In the dispute with the SIU that led to the government trusteeship over maritime unions, O'Neal declared: "the CLC position has been supported fully by the overwhelming mass of organized labor in thi.s country." "No honest trade unionist likes to see trusteeship," he said. "But, by the same token, no honest trade unionist wants to see the labor movement brought into discredit and disgrace by corrupt and dishonest influences." The views expressed by O'Neal were.endorsed overwhelmingly at the"November Federation convention in Vancouver and identical policies were approved at other recent federation conventions in Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan. Hard hitting In a hard-hitting speech O'Neal told the students; "The spectacle of a few greedy people operating a hiring hall for their own selfish ends, subverting democracy, stifling discussion and Intimidating not only their own membership but Indeed anyone who stood in th^ir way, are unpleasant facts for any Canadian to face." , He went on to explain several issues In the dispute. First, on the question of membership, a seamen joining the S(U is required to pay $240 at the commencement of his probation; $72 in dues during probation and, If accepted for full or book membership, an additional $100. There is also an assessment Qf $15 annually plus the regular monthly dues. "For an unskilled worker, this must surely rank as the highest union dues in the world,'' he said. Although the SIU controlled on- ly approximately 7,000 jobs In Canada, on March 21, 1962, their records showed 8,044 book members and 4,300 probationary members. They also showed approximately 1,300 probationary members in arrears. . ■ <rn . Lost jobs :? • * /'These tactics surely indicate that a hiring agency policy rather that trade union principles, are adopted by the SIU," he said. "SIU critics of the trusteeship seldom speak of their D.N.S. lists (do not ship), later changed to R.O.C. (Report on Charges) when courts ruled that the lists were Illegal. By the use of these tactics, 3,399 seamen were deprived of their livelihood. "Thus, we have a situation where thousands of seamen are denied the right to go to sea in many Instances for no other offence than criticizing' the SIU. It should be noted that this device was not a temporary measure but, in fact, constituted a lifetime ban that effectively denied these members from ever work- • ing on ships controlled by* the . slu," O'Neal said. Critics of the trusteeship are • also reticent to mention the reign of violence which characterized' the dtsptite on the Great Lakes. There were 32 instances of brutal (Continued on Page 20) mtmmmmlmmmVmmWmmmSmmtmmtmmti VERN HALVERSOti SHELL STATION Baiieriei —-Repair* — Tires — Lubrication x .'

Taxi men seek support! in battle at two firms I B.C. Federation of Labour has called for support for the Vancouver and District Taxi Drivers Local 1599 in its dispute with two large city cab companies. The federation said the companies are engaging in acampaign to-prevent the union from ob- taining a signed contract. The union, chartered by the CLC when members broke from the Teamsters; for 19 months has been attempting to gain a contract. The two companies involved are Black Top Cabs (1960) and B.C. Radio Cabs Ltd. The union was. certified last February for the employees at the two companies. The companies made a farce of the negotiations that followed. After 19 months of bargaining and conciliation unanimous recommendations of two conciliation boards were rejected by • these two leading taxi cab companies. The companies both rejected the unanimous reports, even though their nominee on the boards, inferred that a unanimous recommendation would be accepted. -* - •* These companies double- crossed their own representative. It appears these two companies have been selected to lead the fight against the union. .• TJie union accepted the unanimous reports.' . The union's nominee, in the interest of labor, management relations compromised his views in order to bring about a unanimous decision with the under- • standing the companies would Mediation wins settlement atDel-Pak * Workers at Del-,Pak Floods have won a contract settlement including a 10-Cent wage boost after voting to strike. The settlement between the North Burnaby plant and United Packinghouse Workers Local 341 came through mediation.. ■' The hew two-year agreement includes bereavement pay of one day. three' weeks vacation, after eight years starting Jan. 1 and after seven years starting Jan. 1,1965, and two five-cent'hourl- ly wage boosts, the first dated bark to July 1 this year, the seconrjon July 1, 1964, accept, and that afirst agreement with a legitimate union would bring about some semblance of employer-employee relationship, now lacking in the Industry. <__^ . The Board's recommendations were for: A guaranteed minimum for a 40-hour week (The minimum wage for taxi cab drivers by law is $1 per hour). Health & Welfare' Plan - 50% of cost to employer. Duration of agreement, two years: The recommendation Included terms of an agreement, previously agreed to by the companies, which contained standard conditions enjoyed by about 90% of the unions in B.C.,.such as union security, hours of work, overtime provisions, check-off, vacation pay, grievance procedure, seniority, etc. A strike will take place in due course, unless the companies reconsider and sign the agreement. Local 1599 Is prepared to sign the agreement recommended by the conciliation board. The union has urged the support of all trade unionists in its fight' "to secure decent wages and better working conditions; Our members' conditions and wages are among the lowest and most deplorable of any industry in B.C," J - , Trade unionists have been ask-' ed to be selective when hiring- a taxi. New contract at Kingsway Hotel and Restaurant Employees Local 28 have come to terms with Kingsway Motor- Hotel for ' their first agreement. The pact includes wage increase in various classifications ranging from five cents to 22 cents an hour, a furthpr five- cent boost on May 15. 1964, and five cents on Jan. 15, 1965.

"To this course of action, the CLD strenuously objected and in-" sisted that in dealing with nutters relating to Canada, Canadians should constitute the majority of trustees." O'Neal said it is regrettable the tactics of the SIU will no doubt reflect unfavourably on the labor movement as a whole." But I believe that credit is also due to those responsible elements of the labor movement who have recognized that the situation in the maritime industry was such as to warrant these drastic measures.
