SEE STORMS AHEAD |. More than 1,000 trade union- jists are gathering here for the |week - Jong session, which ap- }pears to be shaping up as the stormiest parley since the CLC was founded in 1956. While a debate on education will be a feature of the open- ing sessions, the convention will also jump into study of general resolutions--ranging from. bilin- |gualism to restrictive labor laws. During the week, the labor delegates will hammer out the general policies of organized al- jbor for the next two vears and elect the men who will pilot the 11,070,000-member congress. de Gaulle Given much Canada's labor and busi- ness leaders can learn from the co-operative relations in The Netherlands, Britain, France and Sweden. In Europe big business did not try to influence government in passing restrictive labor legisla- tion. In Canada, there was a "trend toward driving unions into the ground." Mr. Jodoin said "this trend must be stopped." The text of his address was released tu the press in advance of delivery. Mr. Jodoin said the struggle between communism and dem- ocracy is moving "'more and more" to economic grounds. "If this supposition is correct, then the role of organized la- bor surely becomes of far greater importance than ever before. "Unless we can provide a steadily improving standard of living we are going to have dif- ficulty in demonstrating that our way of life is better than the way of life advocated by by the Communists." Mr. Jodoin charged the Cana- dian Chamber of Commerce with trying to import McCar- thyism into Canada. He criticized the chamber's new Operation Freedom ven- ture, which is aimed chiefly at attacking the so-called welfare state Mr. Jodoin said the program of Operation Freedom lumps to- gether socialism and commun- ism. "We all know that some of the strongest advocates of dem- ocratic socialism have, at the same time, been the strongest and most effective opponents of communism, "No one in this country has fought communism harder than has our labor movement. We will continue that fight--and, at the same time, we will fight this kind of John Birchism." Police Recapture Burwash Escapees SMITHS FALLS, Ont.
