WHO REALLY RULES CANADA?
(From The Rural Scene)
During a strike of the employees
of the Swift Canadian Company's
hatchery at Stratford, some 60,000
baby chicks emerged from their
shells and began to cheep for food
and care.`
Unable to look after the birds
in the strike -bound plant, the Com-
pany proposed to send them out,
to farmers in the district where
they could be cared for till, the
strike was over.
But the pickets, whom the strik-
ers had placed around the build-
ing, would not allow this and the
birds were in danger of dying from
.neglect.
Then the Humane Society step-
ped into the picture and issued
an ultimatum to the Company,_
ordering, it to 'feed the birds or
destroy them.
The . Company yielded to the.
demand. Thousands of chicks
were killed • by gas, • under the
supervision of the Society' offic-
ials, before the police finally inter-
vened to permit the removal by
the company of other chicks.
This is a strange proceeding for
a free, self-governing country.
The strikers,.unlawfully, pre-
vented the owners of these birds
from sending them to places where
they could be cared for. Where
were the -police and the, magis-
trates, whose duty it is to maintain
law and order, when this lawless-
ness was going on?
And where did the Humane So-
ciety get the authority to order the
company to destroy its own pro
perty' •
And why does this organization
call itself a Humane Society when
it orders the killing of baby chicks
rather than order a picket line to
be opened? Is it a Society for the
prevention of the opening of picket
lines?
If it had any authority at all in
the matter, why did it not go to
the mayor of the city or the chief
,of police and demand that they do
their duty and make the pickets
open their lines, so that the chicks
could be moved to places where
they could -be cared for?
•have we• come to the point in
(Canada where .police protection is
only for those who defy the law
and become a law unto themselves?
Surely the Canadian people can
10 better than this at governing
theznselves.
