alleged that his international union is trying to force him out of politics In the United States there is a rule imposed by the unions to abstain from active partisan politics There is no such ban in Canada and regardless of the legal niceties the plain fact is that the unions by and large support the New Democrat ic Party and contribute the major por- tion of its financial support In the political levy members in many instances if they do not want to support the that they must put themselves on record as nonsupporters of the and it is readily apparent that this could re- act to their disadvantage It is patently obvious that it could also react to the very definite disadvan tage of the unions themselves and all their members For unions must from time to time have dealings with

united force local business would carry greater weight in advancing the interests of the town and thereby Practical assistance in the setting up of a chamber would undoubtedly be af forded by federal
