Reedsville homesteaders as their
eyes .shone with virtual alteration,
"and we find this is a possible
way to achieve a better rural
life, it is going to mean lot, not
just to you, but to people all over
the country. Because you are
first, if you will help each other
to get over the bad places, you
can be Of use to the whole coun-
try"

have a sense of responsibility.
They don't want to let Mrs.
Roosevelt down. This gentlewo-
man has helped them and thay

OF referring to faseism in the

leaders Of the AZ Of L who are
misleading labor and using dou-
BILE crossing tactics as evidenced
by the actions Of Joseph p. Ryan
in the llA in Seattle last week.
II is the leaders OF the AZ Of L

FISHERMEN WIN STRIKE

Price for Fish Up From 7 to IS Cents Through
Militant Rank and File Leadership in Union

Clo-oose. b. c., Canada 49, Gill
METERS of Nitinat Lake. an isolated
district of the coast of b. c., have
just terminated a victorious strike
under the leadership of the Fish
ermen and Cannery Workers In
dustrial Union of Canada. The
Packers offered cents to the fish
ermen, considerable less than last
year. The fishermen struck de
handing 40 cents per fish, with the
result that the strike was settled
on the basis of the fishermen get
ting S5 cents per fish.
The boss fish packers of Canada
have always paid less TO the Can
adam fishermen than what the fish
ermen across the line in u. S. A.
receive. This is mainly due to the
fact that in the past the Canadian
fishermen have been unorganized
or else under the leadership of
takers and bosses agents. Now the
fishermen are beginning to realize
the necessity of using revolution
airy tactics in order to win any
concessions from the bosses.
