CALL COLLECT Exeter 235 Seaforth 15 Darling & company Ltd. by Ottawa observer Few events, not directly politi- cal, have been watched more close- ly by political observers in the Na- tion's Capital than the annual con- ventions of Canada's two largest labor organizations. Both meetings were overshadowed by the ques- tion of "communist domination" in labor unions. When a labor union is charged with communist domin- ation it does not necessarily mean that a majority or even a large minority of the members of the union are are communists or "fel- low travellers."' It usually means, that a small highly organized com- munist minority has managed to be elected to office and,,hold con- trol by "packing" meetings, man- ipulating elections often by intimi- dation and violence. The "Canadian Congress of Labor —usually considered to be Can- ada's "left wing" labor organiza- tion—made the most direct attack on the communists and commun- ism. Whether this was a genuine anti -communist move or merely a struggle for power between social- ists and communists is a debated question. Communist tactics,. de- signed to weaken the morale of a nation by breaking down"' confi- dence in their Institutions• and democratically elected Ieaders—are consistently used by' the president and secretary of the C.C.L. in the interests of the socialist (C.C.F.) Party of Canada. Their drive against communists is appreciated by all loyal Canadians; discontinu- ance of their own communist meth- ods should come next if they are to be loyal to. the interests of Can- adian labor. A Comparison of Methods Nowhere was the communist method shown more clearly than in President Mosher's Labor Day statement last September. President Bengough of the Trades and Labor Congress, is- sued a message which declared that Canadian Labor "has a great dee', to be thankful for and some things to be concerned about." A frank and realistic statement of the position of labor in Canada followed. The general trend was that while further progress was expected "judged with the deplor- able eployable conditions in most other countries we in Canada are indeed fortunate," and "under such cir- cumstances organized labor in 'Canada has every right to cele- brate this Labor Day as a success- ful milestone." In contrast to this, President Mosher's C.C.L. statement used many statements exaggerated in the, style. commonly used by the Communists. Tirades against "pro- fessional politicians" and the claim that our governments and indus- try "failed to protect the .workers and the people of. Canada" robed out in the recognized Communist pattern. His statement that "all progress stems from economic con- ditions" is an acceptance of the of the same. Council adjourned to meet again on Monday afternoon, Nov. 8, in the Township Hall at Elimville. PLEASE....

The interests of labor in Can- ada can best be promoted by the co-operation and understanding of all Canadians of good -will.. The adoption of Communist methods is not the best way to fight commun- ism. ,.

PRAYER FOR THE HOURS OF DESTINY Give man to know Thee, gracious Lord, (His need is great), Lest he should fail of mind well stored Withtruth and love from Wisdom's hoard; When Time is late. ,Wide is the realm of earthern lore, (How vast it is!) Man learns to break down every door That bars him from the reservoir Of energies. To seek and- search by nigh dower, (It is Thy gift!) That he may scaTe to topmost tower And enter into utmost power; Himself to lift. of So gains be up to greatest height ' (O'er things and men) Yet if he use not strength aright He hath but climbed from dark to light, To fall again. If by his ill he good outstrips, (0 black sorrow!) Then darkly looms apocalypse, Where all is evermore eclipse; Dreadful morrow! Yet hast Thou way for man to rise, (The grand ascent!) Till—"bless or curse"—the 'option lies— He choose to bless, in lovely wise, A world attent. "All power is given" to serve the true: (So said Thy Son,) Then guide man's gaining, lest he rue A shattered earth, and lose Life's clue: "Thy will be done." O teach him that no law of state (Of any race) Can long survive that does not rate The truly humble', truly great, And give them place! And that whoever man shall spurn (With force elate) Finds pride and hate within him burn, Gehenna -like; till Time shall turn And mock his fate! No more let Love be crucified, (Dark Calvary!) That then and now may e'er betide To keep men free from whom Love died, In agony. 0 stay the hell -born sons of night, (Satanic brood!) Whose foul intent and lust of might Scorn all sweet rvth and Freedom's light: Who murder. Good! Help man buy wisdom, then, 0 Lord, (Whate'er the cost!) if beckons broad Destruction's road Make man, like miser, clutch Love's hoard: Ere all is lost! And make the many into more (A shining band!) Whose world flings wide each peo- ple's door, Till plenty make each. peaceful shore, A golden strand. Come, sons of men, blow bugles free, (All bondage past!) This clarion.sound on land and sea: "Man lives in God's community!" While Time shall last. REV. A. HINTON, Kippen.
