The Week At the Seaforth Collegiate Institute
(By Harry Scott)
Preparation is now being made up
at the school for the big party to be
held on Friday evening in the school
auditorium, which is given to the
team which sold the most tickets for
the Commencement. The 'Red' team
won, so it is now up to the other
three teams to get everything arrang-
ed. •Th'hre ie still some doubt as to
how the music will be supplied, as
Kenneth Keating does not know yet
whether the records which he so
graciously loaned last time will be
available. There is' some good news;
however, as it i$ rumored around the.
school that George Hildebrand will
once more be in charge of running
the ,grainaphone.
* * *
On Wednesday afternoon the -school
football teem played host to the Mit-
' ch•ell Collegiate team, and in Spite of
hire 2-0•score against the Seaforth
reeled, they mane a favorable show-
" Friday afternoon the two teams
]ay again in Mitchell,_ and maybe
the S.C.I. squad will be able to turn
the .tables on them. The Mitchell
'. team is invited to the party 6n Fri-
! day night. •

Britain's Labor
Head Not A
Politician
To Ernest Bevin, Minister of Labor,
and Natjonal Service since 1940, a
British victory will be no ultimate'
end in itself but the start of another
new era in his' long fight to better
the lot of the British worker.
At 57, Bevin tips the scales at 200
pounds and looks as strong as an ox.
though intimate friends • know that
long hours in his office are imperil-
ing his health. In Britain's great war
effort Bevin probably ranks second
only to the Prime Minister; and many
political observers think him a likely
candidate for the Premiership at
some future date.
Bevin is not a politician in the ord-
inary
rdinary sense of the Word. , When he
was appointed to his present cabinet
position he was not even a member
of Parliament, but was the unofficial
czar of Britain's labor in•his capacity
as general secretary of the Transport
and General Worker& Union, the
world's largest trade unioir:
,Rise- From Obscurity
Bevin's rise from the obscurity of
the ranks of labor has been phenom-
enal, and today people stop, look ai.d
listen when they see the bull -like fig-
ure oft -the Labor Minister striding
briskly down the street or hear his
bellowing voice from the back of a
van or from a rostrum. His adminis•
tr•ative ^gifts and abilities as a nego-
tiator have won him' an outstandin
place in Britain's industrial labor
movement, and have warmed a place
for him in the heart of all Britons.
A pioneer in the labor movement,
Bevin's story is a richly romantic as
that' of the pioneer merchants who
settled the furthermost outposts of
the British Empire. His life has beau
.ill the more interesting because he
has always turned his full energy •n_,t
towards money -making" but towards
the raising of the economic and social
status of ,his fellow workers.
Born in the little hamlet of Wins
ford, in ,SomerSetshire, Bevin 'joined
the working class when he was ten.
His first job was working on a neigh-
borhood farm for sixpence a week,
but after a short -while he asked his
employer for an increase irt, wages
and Was promptly dismissed. Immed-
iately he fell into a better paid posi-
tion on another nearby farm. .
Despite his .youth, Bevin was call -

newspapers to 'his employer and 't6
the neighbors who gathered around
the fireplace for an evening hour,of
smoking, relaxation and conversation.
As he read the long Parliamentary
reports in his 'firm, clear voice, he
became conscious of the struggle of
Britain's working man. Thi conscious-
ness of -this struggle followed him to
Bristol, where he successively be-
came a page boy, shop clerk and'
street car conductor. It went with

First Candidacy" Fails
As he followed the conversatio,�LQf-
his friends who worked at the •docks.
Bevin formed definite ideas about la-
bor and announced his candidacy for
the Bristol City Council. He set off
on an enthusiastic campaign. Over-
hearing one of this opponents contra-
dicting his statements at a public
gathering one day, Bevin stopped his
horse, flung himself upon his advers-
ary and threw him into the River -Av-
on. Such antics delighted the work-
ing men in the audience, but the ma -

jority of the voters were not favorab-
ly impressed and Bevin failed to win
;,he position.
Ben Tillett, leader of' London's
great dockyard strike of 1889, liked
this plucky youngster, however,' and
scion made room for him with a small
position in the dock workers' union.
This determined Bevin's future car-
eer.
Once started along the• hard route
of professional trades unionism, bey -
in soon proved himself capaible of
parrying strategy. 'with the best of
Britain's trades unionists and non -un-
ionists. At 26 he founded the Bristol
',Unemployed Union. He •was elected
its secretary,• and as there was no
unemployment insurance in those
days he drew no salary for ,his duties,
and drew only the most meagre of
expense monies. He stuck through
five lean years with this young union
and during that time he absorbed
what is undoubtedly the most com-
plete' union background ever possess-
ed by a British labor minister.
World War I. Service
At the outbreak of the First World
War, Berin .was serving in London as
a member of:the Executive Committee
of the Transport Workers' Federa-
tion. He was immediately called up-
on to serve on important government
committees which were responsible
for the organization of port labor and
the transport services.
The amazing organizing ability of
the young labor leader was clearly
demonstrated in 1918 when he under-
took the amalgamation of 45 unions
into a single 'body of transport an -1
general workers. This amalgamation
took four years, but when it was com-
pleted and Bevin was named 'general
secretary, he was in undisputed con-
trol of a union which now has a mem-
bership of 850,000 and a $4,000,000
reserve fund.
Washes Hands of Politics
He loathed "political babble" and
when Ramsay MacDonald and his fol-
lowers turned Conservative in 1931,
Bevin Washed his hands of political
leaders. He devoted, himself solely to
solidifying the British tin/ons.
The advent of Nazism brought Bev
In's interest . ba& to polities. George
Lansbury, who attosaedod Mac)onald
as head of 'Britain's Labor Party, was
a picture of complete pacifism. When
Bevin realized the inevitable clash
which would result when Nazism
spread, he sought action immediately.
As one of the first British leaders to
realize the dangerous threat to the
democracies, he almost • single -hail-
ed reversed British lab is policies
from defeatist conservatism to ag-
gressive,roilitarism. In a knock -down
dragout speech' at the Brighton Con-
ference in 1935, he routed the aging
-Lansbury and stirred the labor camp
into a violently anti-dnictatorship
movement,
He Wound up this `stirring declara-
tion by coining the slogan 'Give 'itler
'ell."
Answer's Churchill's Call
Bevin was attending the Labor Par-
ty Conference at Bournemouth when
be received Churchill's call to the
Ministry "of Labor and' National Ser-
vice. Though he had disagreed with
many of Churchill's policies. for thirty
years, he wiped this out in a minute
when, he accepted the offer. Later,
when friends of the Prime Minister
asked• him why he had chosen Bevin
of all people for this important post,
Churchill is said to have replied "He
is the ablest figure in British indus-
try."
Since assuming the office as Min-
ister of Labor and National Service,
Bevin has concentrated on the organ-
ization of all available man and wo-
man power for the speedibg up of war
production. This has meant, para-
doxically enough, a revocation in the
cause of freedom of many of those
trade union rights for which he
fought hardest during the last forty
years. Today the very man who did
so much to win for the dockers their
all
coveted 40 -hour week, pleads with
British workers to stay at their ma-
chines and desks as he does' through-
out a long, intensive week. Though
he was an organizer of the 1924 -gen-
eral strike, as head of the ministry
he has now banned all strikes over
wages for the duration of the war.
Bevin has the right to transfer ev-
ery man and woman in England to
whatever job and whatever place be
chooses, but 'he prefers, to • rely on
"voluntary co-operation, not. compul-
sion" in speeding up the war effort.
"People obviously want to be7p, and
'so it will not be necessary for me to
make the do war work," he explains.
Still a Trade Unionist
Even though he has forsaken his
desk at Transport. House, Westmin-
sterr,../for his new office at the Minis-
try, he still rules labor from the view-
point of the trade unionist, and in
matters pertaining to policy and. or'
ganization he constantly consults the
unions before advancing any new
schemes.
Great as •has been his present col
tribution to Britain's 'war effort, there
are many who expect that Bevin will
play an even more important role in.
the post-war social reconstruction.
His speeches have made no secret of
his views on this stnbject•. "Democ-
racy," he says, "does not merely mean
voting at an election, it means broad
opportunity and that the servants of
a community should come from no
narrow class."
Truly, Bevin is determined to prove
that "the British labor, movement is
the rock whereon Nazism and, Fasc-
ism will split" and he is convinced
that he'll make victory the beginning,
of a new social order based on free!■
dam 'and justice. •
