2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Saturday, Mey 20, 1961 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN STAGE IS SET FOR LOCAL 222 VOTE The tempo in the turbulent political world of Local 222, UAW-CIO, picked up noticeably this week as rival factions beat the propaganda drums on the eve of in all-important event. This will be the elections May 24, 25 and 26 (for executive posts, Canadian UAW Council delegates, Osh- wworker editorship and three committees). There are 151 candidates for 49 positions, an all- 'ime high since the Local was formed in-1937. A total of 5088 cast approximately 24,000 ballots in 1959, for a 60 percent turnout. Both the Democratic Right Wing Group (headed by Cliff Pilkey) and the Unity Right Wing Group (head- wi President Malcolm Smith) have full slates of can- idates. There was a great hue and cry this week from some quarters over the publication in this paper of a letter from Allan Manser of the Local ("Readers Views" on May 15) ander the heading "Red Activities Damage nions."" Mr. Manser displayed strong contempt for fellow trade-unionists who complacently allow Communist in- filtration into Labor's ranks ("This is why we do not need or want any 'Reds or Red sympathizers' to run our union affairs, We want clear-thinking, genuine union- ists that will put our interests in first place at all times.") He exhorted fellow workers to vote with extreme caution next week, to know what each candidate stands for politically and not to vote for somebody simply be- cause he is popular with those around him. In effect, Mr. Manser says this; regardless of what any Communist says, Communism does not uphold or- ganized Labor. It just uses Labor to gain its own end, which is to control the World by a workers' revolution. It is sheer stupidity for a free democratic society to let anyone convince them otherwise, Mr. Manser is barking up the wrong tree, however, when he dwells on alleged "Red" interference during the | | #Mlsmall firms out of business. | NO SERING YET IN MOUNTAINS Spring has been slow this | year over most of North Am- | longer delayed than in Colo- in the mountains not far from rado, where winter has hung | Denver.

(AP) «4 The United Mine Workers un- ion, in a precedent-setting case, was adjudged guilty in United States district court Friday of violating federal anti - trust laws. A jury found the union and trustees of its welfare fund guilty of conspiring with major coal companies to monopolize the soft coal industry and drive None of the major coal pro- ducers, however, were named as defendants in the suit. The instrument for the on- spiracy, the jury ruled, was the 1950 bituminous coal wage agreement, still the basic indus- try contract. The jury awarded a $90.000 judgment against the UMW to Phillips Brothers Coal Company a small east Tennessee mine. But under anti-trust laws the judgment in such cases is tri- pled, making it $270,000. Phil- lips had sued for $300,000.

Recently in Ottawa there was mendation to set up a National LEADERS bunal appointed by the International and it is folly to dwell on what should have happened at this hearing, despite what Mr, Manser may, or may not, know.

Perhaps Her Worship stuck her politcal neck out pretty far when she instructed the Parks Board (through the personnel officer) to hire unemployed men who are heads of families in preference to students (who get $1.34 hourly the first year and $1.61 the second) on tem- porary staff for the summer, perhaps she will be accused of meddling unnecessarily in departmental business, but there were some sound reasons for this decision. For instance, Welfare Director Herb Chesebrough described the city relief picture this week as "brighten- ing, if not bright", but he pointed out that there were still 981 on the relief rolls. Mr. Chesebrough also expressed a personal opinion that "we are over the hump at least for the time being" in so far as civic relief is concerned, "but this doesn't alter the fact that civic officials should do everything possible for jobless men with dependents. Mayor Thomas is right when she says that the time to deal with the problem is now--within a year the sit- uation could be entirely changed and only the students would apply for these casual jobs. Like all civic and industrial leaders, she is plagued each day by touching appeals for help on behalf of these jobless citizens. The sad plight of some students (especially those at university who need this employment) is not easy to forget, but their need is not nearly so great as that of a bread-winner whose financial problems become a civic problem immediately when he goes on relief. FOLK FESTIVAL WINS PLAUDITS Oshawa's first attempt to stage a Folk Festival in which all ethnic groups would participate--not in com- petiton, but in a big-family atmosphere--was an un- qualified success by all standards. It could serve as a pattern for similar events. It sroved beyond a shadow of a doubt that it should be re- peated annually here, that many Oshawa folks are in- terested in such community ventures, More than 1150 attended the festival in St. Gregory's Auditorium last Sunday night. The first arrived as early as 6:30 p.m. and approximately 250 were turned away. The performances by the 125 entertainers were im- pressive. There was also an unforgettable (and unscheduled) performance in the auditorium basement following the program, one that warmed the cockles of many hearts-- that was when the above entertainers joined hands at a jolly social do (for tea and sandwiches) and people of many racial extractions (German, Dutch, Ukrainian, Polish, Greek, French-Canadian and Italian) exchanged pleasantries, danced, and sang in a fine display of cam- araderie. It all augurs well for the efforts many people are making here to bring the community closer together, socially and culturally, in a common bond of friendship. It also augurs well for the upcoming Inter-Group Relations convention scheduled for Oshawa on May 27 at the CRA, which has aims and objectives similar to those of the Folk Festival. The festival was a night to remember. His measure got full support from the Liberals---even though |J. W. Pickersgill (L.--~Bonavista- the cabinet. Mr. Howard's bill would have death sentences.

Announcement of the commu- tation came about the same time as Veterans Affairs Min- ister Churchill, government House leader in the Commons, told the House that debate is planned Tuesday on the bill to amend the death penalty provi- gions in the Criminal Code. . The code now demands that a death sentence be passed in all murder convictions. Under the government bill, this sentence would be imposed only for cap- |ital murder--defined in the pro- {posed legislation as homicide [that is calculated or determined, or involves the use of force. Since taking office in June, 1957, the Conservative govern- ment has handled 49 cases in- volving the death sentence and in 39 has commuted the sen tence to life imprisonment. The other 10 persons have been hanged In about 12 of the commuted sentences, there had been a jury recommendation for mercy.
