The Labour Stotewnan learned reliably on press day. An informant here said tbe liquor Control Board may have already approved the price increase. . The move will mean that glasses of a new size and shape will be used, selling fear 15 cents each or two for 25 cents. Price increase is reported to be an important issue behind the beer monopolies refusal to negotiate with the Brewery Workers. It will allow the companies to charge hotel operators more per gallon of beer, according to the informant In addition, tbe companies are reported to he pressuring the provincial government to permit brewery-operated stores for the exclusive „sale of their beer. Such stores already exist in other parts of the country. Brewery-operated beer retail stores would have a serious effect on small beer parlor operators in B.C. .

DOUGLAS DINNER VANCOUVER—Every trade unionist in B.C. is being urged to attend the Douglas Dinner to be held here October 16. The dinner, to include dancing, -refreshments and entertainment is to honor T. C. Douglas's 30 years Many labour official-, and rank and file have already purchased tickets ($7.50) but organizers are anxious to have a wide trade union representation. . As federal leader of the NDP, Mr. Douglas is ?Kpyi«»-- to make important statements on labour's role in Canada after the Nov. 8 election. enormous number of Canadians who are not responding as they once did during a federal general elections. But as significant as the size of this indecision is, the reasons behind are-even mores so. For, hopefully, one of the reasons is that Canadians are having second thoughts, •even serious and painful doubts, about the u*adition_ political lineup in the country. Be that as it may, it is certain that an increasing number of voters no longer regard their' political choice as limited to tiie meaningless alternation of Liberal and Conservative in Parliament Now, quite suddenly for many people, there is a new and more exciting possibility: the New Democratic Party. The NDP has become a serious contender in the public mind. But perhaps precisely because the NDP will be the new choice of so many voters, they are not talking about it to the pollsters.

All they did was help create the illusion of a two- party system, an illusion which persists despite the feet that both Grit and Tory have demonstrated time and again that there is no difference between them. This illusion, like all illusions, has done enormous harm. It can be blamed for, among other things, the alarming erosion of our sovereignty by preventing people who would protect national interests from gaining office. But only a dramatic break in the conditioned reflex voting habits of the country would permit the NDP, with genuine -alternatives and plans, to exercise the power Canada so desperately needs. * This has been the hope ever since the Canadian labour movement aligned it- 'sariiuOErNDp^nr Now, four years later, a mass of national indecision possibly indicates a dramatic break in voting patterns. It is this that makes this election, unnecessar^hough one of the fErtsjm- portant in recent history. According to a recent survey, 30 percent of the public believes the NDP wfll pick up There is excellent reason for this belief. Things are still fresh in the voters' mind. There are the Diefenbaker Years and the bitter disappointment these produced. - Canadians are tired of executive waffling, cabinet revolts and Camp-followers whose only policy is to replace the Liberals. A succession of liberal scandals still weighs on the country like a black hand. Voters remember Rivard, Hal Banks, furniture and race track and the dark reve- lations of the Dorion inquiry. • It must be assumed that Canadians are top intelligent to give any significant support to the extremes of Social Credit or Communism. That leaves only .the NDP. As is pointed out elsewhere in these pages, it is the only party which has emerged from our periodic spasms with rknn Thus, the indecision of the voters today might be reduced to the question: "Isn't it time we gave the NDP a chance?" i-4 '..' 2 "f — __ AND ISilUE-S THER MINORITY ■ ■■■ opinion taken just cleral election cam- opened point in the -minority they would have tiie same number after Nov. 8th, 32%: had no. opinion.

OTTAWA (CPA) —The election, billed, as the-one nobody wanted, is shaping up into a fasririating battle, and the fighting hasn't even begun. What happens in the next six weeks is anybody's guess. (See public- opinion poll story — Ed.) The Conservatives, generally considered to be down and Out When Prime Minister Pearson called tiie Nov. 8 election, have rebounded better-known exiles, such as former Trade Minister Hees. To match him, the Liberals have brought back Robert "We can use more controversy in this country, particularly over the things we fake for granted. We also need to break free from many of the labels, stereotypes and slogans that are employed so widely — from labels like 'liberalism' and 'conservatism'; free enterprise' and 'free lunch', 'colonialism', the military mind'and so on.

Mr. Hees will take on Liberal Pauline Jewett in the Ontario riding of Northumberland, while Mr. Winters wfll try to hold the York West seat that was the property of hockey player Red Kelly. He will be opposed, by prosperous car dealer George Hogan of the Conservatives. And in the Toronto riding of Eglinton, Dalton Camp, President of the Progressive . Conservative Association, is going to run against Trade Minister Sharp, another battle of the giants. . Mr. Camp is. know n to have had differences with Opposition Leader Diefenbaker over the last two years, but it is not clear whether they have been entirely settled or temporarily buried. Then there is Eddy Goodman, the Toronto lawyer, who left an executive post in the Conservative Party in 1963 over a split with Diefenbaker on the nuc issue. He is back as National Campaign chairman. Pierre Sevigny, one-time Conservative cabinet minister, who' also split with his leader over the nuclear issue, has said lie will work to help the party regain power. But ins offer has not been met with immediate enthusiasm from the party.officials; they first want to read what he has written in his new book to be published . next month. Among other " things, the book is said to present a close-up picture of Mr. Diefenbaker. * %$& But Conservative officials are confident that the newfound party unity will help their cause. Liberal spokesmen say that with Mr. Hees and former Justice Minister Davie Fulton both seeking a return to parliament, any other C^n_iei*vative'__-eader- ship convention is already . underway. . Meanwhile, neither the New Democratic Party nor the Social Credit group have joined the other parties in the big-name recruiting contest "How can we?" asked an NDP official, "We've never had a disunity crisis in the first place."

The Liberal government whidi must accept full re- spoosibUity for it claims the ded is designed to promote efficiency in the auto industry and to stimulate employment . * So far, however, the only effect it has had is to give Americans cheaper cars, send Big Three profits into a new high orbit and affect employment not a jot or tittle. T. C. Douglas, federal NDP leader, comes closest to losing his well-known composure when the Liberal government attempts to justify the cor deal. Recently Finance Minister Gordon, already famous for his back-tracking and bumbling budgets w__s struggling with another patch-up job on the secret car deal He said the government "seriously has to consider" some further action if prices remain high while tiie industry enjoys excessive profits. The admissions implicit in such a statement are staggering: government failure, high prices, excessive profits. Small wonder that tiie NDP is impressing a growing number of Canadians with its demand for effective national planning. It brands tiie secret car ded as "economic tinkering." As a result the country is out $50 million a year in duties from GM, Ford and Chrysler. The NDP charges that the Canadian government is actually paying the Big Three to earn even larg- erprofits. And the government can hardly defend.the ded. For example, the Globe and Mail revealed' in Janu- ' ary that "in a good year tiie profit earned by one of the leading Canadian auto producers might run as high as 80 to 90 per cent cf invested capital: •-" The NDP is hammering these.facts home and Canadian voters axe not likely to ignore them. There is no need under the secret ded for tiie companies to reduce prices, yet it gives them even greater con" trol over the parts industry, adding to their already monopolistic position. The United Auto Workers of Canada has demanded that workers' rights be protected under the plan. This has been studiously ignored. While the Big Three get $50 million a year, the Canadian worker gets zero and pays at least $300 to $500 more for his car tfaan he should. *_ 3 VOTE TRENDS Peter Jennings invades New Yoit on a solid grid bicycle UNCLE SAM'S LATIN-AMERICAN AGONY ', BLAIR FRASER (The following article is condensed from die arigmal M-USAzrax ta July of this year before the Nov. 8 federal election teas coifed,).

In the 1963 election the NDP candidate in Cliche's riding of Beauce got only seven hundred and forty votes, and in the whole province the party got only seven percent of the popular vote, or about half tiie national I average.

UNIONIST WITH EGG ON HIS FACE At a union meeting the other day we heard one' member mar a business-like and intelligent aucusskm with a question which insulted the intelligence of every man and woman present The meeting was discussing the Brewery Workers' strike, the effects of automa- tion, unemployment, but most of all about soaring prices.' • ' Out of the blue, the member a s k e d: "But isn't it wrong to ask for more wages when it only means that it will increase tiie cost of living?" It was put as a question but it was more a statement . reflecting tins member's in-> iter conviction. Except for a certain lack of fluency, it was right but of Badness Week. Now at. this stage it shouldn't be necessary for _ union officers to answer this particular question: it has been answered a thousand times by independent eco- n o m i s t s and government .Statisticians.' But once again in this case it was necessary for the chairman to patiently review the facts, which are that wage increases DO NOT force, prices up. Prices may go up but wage increases are not a significant fac$or. K there was nothing else, the enormous increase in corporation profits would prove this. But ten years ago tbe Canadian Labour Congress was concerned enough to thoroughly investigate the situation and found that tiie idea that "labour is pricing itself out of tiie market turns on examination to be just claptrap and humbug." And if that source is tainted to the member referred to, he could refer to the official study this year by a leading economist, with die Canadian government which arrived at tiie same condu- sion. Of course, it may be that this particular member cant read, or just doesn't bother. One would think, however, that self—terest would compel! him to look into the matter. ~ Then suddenly we began thinking how this man will act on Nov. 8.

Without making a find decision as to the accuracy (or inaccuracy) of his be- lirf, it is interesting to consider a few reasons why tins might possibly be so. Most of the supporting reasons are hosed on women's psychology and involve tbe *Vi-_i_— terms of "identification" and "social ing. A woman is a creature of intrigue. Her approach to politics is generally far from rational. Indeed, it is usually emotional, and is based on a self-appraisal, often distort-, ed, ot her sood status, and on various ulterior motives. When considered firom these. points ot view, the NDP does not amount to too much. After all, for a single woman who interests her- self in politics for the sake of meeting men,-and more gpeoficdly, far tiie soke of valuable sodd contorts, the liberals and Conservatives provide a much more bountiful hunting ground.

Regiond President, -Jack Moore; was closer to'the truth when he ended me convention on a noto, of-unity. He said in effect: "Hie debates we've heard are 'wholesome and tradi- tkmd in a truly democratic union like ours. Our members feel intensely about Ihe . problems discussed here, and were bound to differ about solutions.

A wide range of decisions were' agreed upon to defeat questionable employer tac- ^eg~' **•. mg - W^- The threat to job security seen in employer - imposed job conditions by advancing automation loomed over aU debates. Delegates determined to demand advance notice of new production processes and a voice in employee adjustment to such changes to mmimise displacements. In-plant training devised to protect seniority rights will tow be emphasized. Retraining of resident workers for the new skills rather than recruitment, of skilled workers from' other' countries was urged. .Delegates demanded government protection for tiie rights of workers about to be displaced by large companies, either integrating, closing down, or re-locating operations. This pointed toward an attack on the hoary '"management's rights" clauses now enabling unilateral imposition by employ ers d conditions due to tech- nologicd change. . Proposals to amend negotiating procedures caused excitement and resulted in adroit compromises in the convention's Constitutiond Committee. Coast negotiations, starting next March ton ah industry-wide basis .with the powerful complex of employers acting through Forest Industrid Relations • Ltd., were viewed as crucial.

Flamboyant gestures accompanied rapid French as delegates congregated for the First Biennial Convention ot the Canadian Union of Public Employees. Over 500 delegates, many from Eastern Canada, attended tbe convention Sept. 20 to 24. The 90,000-member CUPE was formed by a merger of the National Union of Public Employees and the National Union of Public Service Employees in 1963. . Tbe problem of bilingual- ism rose on the first day. After a heated debate (somewhat limited by an inadequate supply of translation equipment), amotion requiring all CUPE correspondence and publications to be printed in both French and English was defeated. The President of COPE, Stanley A. Little, reported that public servants must retain the right to strike and reject any m o v e s toward compulsory arbitration. "It tends to undermine still further the progress of collective bargaining," he said. ah--" ••'■••■—i— The effectiveness of strikes against the government was pointed out in Labour Minister MacEachen's remarks to the convention. He said that the Federd Qovern- - ment. had learned a lesson from the recent postal strike. NDP leader Tommy Douglas received a standing ovation as he told the delegates ,. that Canadian civil servants at all levels should have tbe right to strike and to par-.' ticipate in politics. "I believe that if we give to government employees all the democratic rights to . which they are entitled, they will assume these rights with responsibility and will dis- . charge' alt; that is expected of them in* looking after 'the community.'' The Canadian Labour Congress also came in for its share of criticism. A resolution called for a major revision of Congress structure which has remained virtually unchanged since its incep- * tion in 1956. The present structure of the 1,200,000- member labour body seems "ill-suited" to the d_nging needs of the Canadian labor movement.'' **_ President Little ■recommended a radical change in the attitude of the CLC and of many trade union leaders toward the merging of Canadian unions even though this might harm some vested interests. a*-—*-.- by DAYTON The No. 209 For MEN on ■ i ■— 40 FULLY MODERN UNITS * HEATEO^IrVU^^ • 4-STAR RATING - AAA • TV. - TB^HONES • BACHELOR & FULLY CONTAINED UNITS - Ton Minutes from Vancouvar Oiy Centre YUkon 8-3181 1748Capflano (14 n*.

Len Wallace, vice-prea- dent of the Saskatchewan Federation of Labor, in commenting on the report noted that stress is placed by the report on the need for "management right" in union agreements between the government, its corporations, and various unions and.a "certain vagueness in this regard.'* There has never been any question about management having rights. The Saskatchewan trade union act was designed to give employees .Kane rights as citizens on an eaud basis with management It is feared that the new government may use the Johnson Commission's report as a basis for with- d r a wing sane employee rights. Mr. Wallace said, **While the!

Beer profits have reached unprecen- dented heists.
