Trinity United Historyâ€"Of Unions In Porcupine Reviewed Leo Buck Behie opened with the statement that 67 miners who had worked in Porcupine mines for years were stricken with disease and breakâ€" A review of unions progress in the Porcupine and the benefits unions had gained for industries. elsewhere were outlined in the Empire Theatre on Sunday when I. Vachon, president of Local 241; Tom McNeil, former presiâ€" dent and chief steward at the Hollinâ€" ger, and Leo Behie, international unâ€" ion organizer made brief spegeches on the progress of unions prior to the story of the Noranda strike told by Mr. T. F. McGuire. tion. One of the town fathers and a Timmins lawyer who had been trying to have compensation put. through said finally that they could do no more but suggested to the stricken men that the union might, "It did‘in many cases," the international organâ€" izer said. ‘"People wonder where and what happens to union dues. The Canadâ€" ian money is deposited in the Imperâ€" ial Bank in Vancouver and periodical financial statements are open for any member to see. International organâ€" izers like myself and McGuire get our cheques from Chicago. "One stool pigeon came up to work in the mine for severalâ€"weeks,.joined the union and then said he had reâ€" ceived an inheritance from the old country. He signed up several memâ€" bers for us and was soon on the unâ€" ion executive. ~Then we accidentaily found he was getting $250 a month from mine operators. We didn‘t do anything for we couldn‘t show our hand: then fate intervened and the stool pigeon died several weeks later. Briefly covering the Kirkland Lake strike the former presxdcnt of Local 241 said that while the strike had been lost the unions gained by havâ€" ing legislation passed giving unions the right to bargain; The unions had won in principle :which is often more importantâ€"~than money,â€" "Workers were slaves and condiâ€" tions fantastic." the president of Loâ€" cal 241 said. "And there was no legâ€" islation for union in those days. We organized, went on strike and finally compelled management to recognize labor. We were out nearly thirteen weeks but when we went back we had recognition increased wages and better conditions. "The same thing happened in Sudâ€" bury. People said it was impossible to organize unions there. We did and today the miners are enjoying higher wages and standard of living, and much better working conditions." "A cut was made in miners pay alter the first Great War, a cut when prices had almost doubled. Thgre was a semblance of an international union in the Porcupine in 1921 â€"but it died out. d + "In 1938 miners were granted a 5¢ an hour increase." "Any member can vote as he pleasâ€" es on any question," the organizer said. » Mr. Vachon, speaking in both Engâ€" lish and French, outlined the condiâ€" tions in the artificial silk mills in Cornwall prior to the organizlng of a union in 1936. Mr. McNeil gave a brief history of union progress in the Porcupine disâ€" trict. "In 1922 we organized a local Porâ€" cupine Miners Union and in 1923 askâ€" ed for an increase equivalent to the cut put into efféct in 1919. It was granted after the union voted to go on strike. "In the next 13 years a variecty of unions tried to start in the Porcupine â€" the W.W., the 0.B.U., and the Mine Workers Union of Canada. They.all failed and woe realized our only hope of a strong union was to join an inâ€" ternational one. "In 1936 we raised $12 to join an International Union. To do it we had to use assumed names or. forfeit our jobs. Even at that the mines hired stool pigeons to spy on us. "In 1934 the price of gold went up from $20.60 to $35.00 an oz with a $3 bonus..

"In 1934 and 1935 the mines had a checkâ€"off system of their own. When the miners lined up outside the gatso looking for jobs the mine men wou‘ld come out and look them over, feel their muscles, say you seem to have a strong back and weak mind, we‘uil hire you." The international organizer urged every miner in Timmins to join the union stating that ‘"it is your demâ€" ocratic right to vote in the union as you see fit and wish." A. Yes, members would be chargâ€" ed a small membership fee. The Naâ€" tional Council _ recommends that youngsters respond better and show more initiative when they have to pay something. However, no boy or girl would be barred because they could not pay. * Mr. Behie said that the checkâ€"off was the stickler, yet Justice Rand in the Ford strike at Windsor had recommended a checkâ€"off. "We only asked for a revocable checkâ€"off with the understanding that any union member could drop out after 30 days if he so desired. A. All boardsâ€" of directors of the vartous Y‘s are asked to contribute 244 per cent of their expenses for year. However, there is no authority to ask for anything.

It‘s a new venâ€" ture and we just wanted to be cerâ€" tain that justice could be done to the intended Y program.

Earl Somerville, pres, of ie South Porcupine Kiwanis, asked how the Y would cater to the needs of South End. Mr., Moisley said that S. Porcupine could be assured that as long as the present men were on the board of directors that all the surrounding communities would. benefit by the proposed Y program. Q. Do you expect to spend apâ€" proximately $8,000 on youth leaderâ€" ship and Y work in a year? Mr. Herbert, extension secretary, explained further that the Y secretary would set up committees in the smalâ€" ler communities, discuss their probâ€" lems and programs and give leaderâ€" ship courses for their leaders. Q How will the $3O 000 be spent? Will it be spent in two or three years and just how do you propose to spend it? ‘ A. <The board of directors decided that this amount was necessary to carry us over until the Y program was put on a sound basis. That it would enable a Y secretary to show that a Y program would be of beneâ€" fit to the district. , I‘hone 2250
